Epilogue 3
The sky of the Kalian Empire held as many wonders as the earth. Giant beasts drifted between the clouds with lazy wingbeats, and higher-realmed cultivators cut through the heavens on flying swords. Up there, the qi thickened with every breath—dense enough to hum against skin—though ordinary mortals, trapped on solid ground, would never know it. They only ever saw hints of the mysteries above.
And if they bothered to look long enough, those hints could keep them star...

Eldric stared at the man he had detested from the very first day he saw his face. Selwin—his mother’s attendant, her obedient shadow, her loyal adopted son—always carried the stench of his mother’s influence with him. Normally, the sight of the man soured Eldric’s mood.
But today, Selwin had come bearing something that made Eldric smile.
He rested a hand on the edge of one of the crates laid out on the table between them. “Tell me again,” Eldric sai...

Epilogue 2
In the different corners of the empire, there were a lot of places that were both dangerous as well as filled with thick, potent qi. So much qi that sects had historically tried to wipe out the dangers in order to build their sect grounds there—to bask in the qi and let their disciples grow stronger by cultivating in such dense energy. Most of these places were either on top of a qi vein, deep in the ground where qi leaked from the center of the earth, or at the tallest pea...

It turned out that even after securing Prince Aldrin’s surrender, the man had still managed to cause a problem for him. The prince had apparently refused to speak to the Alparcan forces about Prince Vhailor’s death and had simply ordered his own men to subdue them if they tried anything before he left for negotiations. By the time those negotiations were over, the Alparcan forces—led mostly by Mages—had already tried to flee toward Alparca to inform the royal family ...

Viscountess Vaessa had seen many strange things in her long life. Despite her youthful features, she was old—far older than most lived to be in the Lancephil Kingdom—and yet nothing in her decades of noble duty had prepared her for the sight before her: barbarians sitting atop the walls of Matilla City, laughing over different conversations as if they had always belonged there. Stranger still, she had grown used to it.
The Lancephil Kingdom had warred against them ...

Jun of the Immortal Path sat cross-legged with flames wrapped tightly around his body. They weren’t gentle or warm. They moved like a living beast—like a phoenix made of fire—coiling up his arms, slashing across his skin, burning him until flesh peeled and blood dripped onto the stone floor.
Every second, his skin scorched, cracked, and opened. Every second, the flames healed it all again, restoring him as if nothing had happened.
People liked to say that on...

Chen Ren wasn’t the only one who noticed the similarity between the sect in the scroll and the hologram from the medallion. Even Yalan, perched lazily on the shelf above, leaned forward—her sharp eyes narrowing as she met his gaze for a brief second. Neither of them spoke, but the look they exchanged said enough.
Chen Ren quickly schooled his expression back into neutrality, lowering his eyes to the scroll before anyone noticed. Fortunately, Princess Yanyue seemed...

Aldrin felt his composure slipping away, little by little, like sand leaking from a cracked hourglass. Each passing minute chipped at the mask he had worn so carefully. His hands twitched behind his back. His jaw clenched until his teeth hurt. He had tried to hold it together—to look like a commander, a king, a man in control—but now even pretending felt pointless.
Had his plan really failed? Was there truly no reinforcement coming? How had Duke Arzan done it?

Elias felt like he was back in his army days—a Novice Mage running from one battlefield to another, taking orders from his superiors. At his age, with his power and title, that was the worst thing anyone could make him feel. But did he have a choice? No. Favors demanded repayment, and what Arzan had done for him—for his kingdom, for the land Elias had once thought beyond saving—was no small thing. If this was the price to ease a fraction of that burden, he would bear i...

Chen Ren hadn’t expected anyone outside the Divine Coin Sect to know what dao he followed. Yes, he was a businessman—one who had started far too many enterprises for his own good—but anyone who looked into his history would just assume it was desperation that drove him. His ventures could be seen as nothing more than a man clawing his way out of debt. Even the sect’s economic growth could easily be mistaken for ambition, not following a dao.
He had never once c...

Chen Ren had no idea why someone connected to City Lord Li Baolong or he himself would suddenly show up in Meadow Village.
For a second, he thought it might be Li Xuan, but he dismissed that almost instantly. Li Xuan wouldn't return now, not with how hard the Soaring Sword Sect would be working its disciples after the rising. And Li Xuan definitely wouldn’t ride in with a grand carriage and an entourage. That wasn’t his style at all.
So who was it then? Li Ba...

Kai watched in fascination as everything unfolded exactly how he’d planned. The threads sharpened into fire arrows struck true, slamming into Vhailor’s neck.
He’d already scanned for defensive artifacts on him earlier and found none, likely because such enchantments would interfere with the array’s delicate structure. It worked in his favor massively.
Blood poured from the wound as Vhailor collapsed, and the floating array around him faltered. In the next...

Chen Ren stared at the green concoction with a stiff face. The closer he got, the worse it became. The smell hit him like a punch—sharp, sour, and rotten all at once. His stomach twisted, and he honestly thought if he leaned in even one inch more, he might throw up right into the tub.
Qing He had warned him that beast-blood baths weren’t like natural treasures and often smelled awful, but he hadn’t expected this level of suffering. If someone ever bottled this sc...

Kai had only fought a Storm Mage once before, and he had to admit—they were a pain to deal with. Wind to stay airborne, lightning to fry anything with a pulse, water to mend wounds and keep the mana flowing smooth. Stack them all together and you got the kind of annoyance who could drown an army in rain and then torch whatever floated. Vhailor couldn’t do that, he wasn’t capable enough. Probably never would be. But throwing him into a Mage array with a bunch of idiots ...

Once Kai had accounted for every one of Aldrin’s schemes and countered them with solid plans of his own, they didn’t linger long in Solmere. The city was left under a capable watch—enough soldiers to maintain order, distribute food, and ensure the population felt secure again.
Most of the enemy troops were already locked away, and the surviving Mages were bound with Syphon stone cuffs. Kai doubted they’d pose much of a threat even if freed—their mana Heart ha...

Chen Ren opened his eyes inside the star-space.
The ground beneath him felt soft and calm. And above him, the sky stretched endlessly—a sea of black velvet studded with thousands of stars. He lay there for a moment, breathing in the quiet, letting the silence settle into his bones.
Then, his gaze rose toward the brightest cluster in the sky. Those weren’t just stars. They denoted his businesses.
The first star his eyes fell on was his noodle business. T...

There were a wide variety of mana techniques that had been developed by the time Kai had become a Mage in his past life.
Centuries of war and survival had forced Mages to invent techniques that stretched the limits of what a Mage body could do. Some methods helped a Mage control their mana with more precision. Others strengthened the elements they wielded. Most people knew these from books or basic training.
But mana techniques could do more than just that. With ...

Princess Yanyue flipped through the pages of a book she had already read thousands of times, letting her fingers trace lines she could recite from memory. She paused on the passages that always hooked her, reading them again even though she knew every single word. It wasn’t because the writing was beautiful, or because the story felt epic. It was because every part of it was real.
That wasn’t a storybook. It was a journal.

As Chen Ren’s carriage rolled out of the sinkhole’s outskirts and onto the lonely road leading away from Red Peak City, someone tracked each of his movements from far away.
Chen Eain.
He had finally recovered enough to stand—a shaky, painful sort of recovery, but enough to walk again. He didn’t dare go near the sinkhole where the qi was thick; he had a gut feeling that Renjie would sense him the moment he stepped close. So Eain had stayed in the city, wat...

The border strongholds fell faster than Kai had ever planned for.
Stone walls that should have held for weeks had folded in days. Towers meant to rain spells and arrows for months now flew his banners instead. At first, he counted that as a blessing. The quicker he crushed the border resistance, the sooner he could turn the full force of his army towards Aldrin.
It should have felt like victory.
Instead, a cold prickle lived in the back of his mind, refusin...

Chen Ren acted fast.
He yanked a talisman from inside his robe and lit it with a spark of friction. A thin barrier of qi burst to life in front of him at the exact moment the bone shards flew.
The shards slammed into the shield like arrows.
They bounced off in every direction, spinning wildly through the chamber walls and floor. A few hit with such force that thin cracks spread across the glowing surface of the barrier. By the time the light flickered dange...

Kai floated high above the border city of Eldovar, wind tugging at his cloak as he looked down on the city spread beneath him. From here, the streets looked neat and quiet like painted lines. But he knew better. This was the gate to Caelond. Rich houses, tall warehouses, and hidden routes under the ground… all of it made the city something more than stone and walls. If a single place could stab him in the back, it was Eldovar.
Merchants had grown fat here from border...

Aldrin stood high on the stone balcony, overlooking the training fields of Fort Valemount. He had visited this border fortress many times as a child—his mother’s homeland was right next to it. It was the place where Alparcan banners always fluttered beside Lancephil’s. But never like this. Never with so many bodies packed into the dirt, every square patch of ground claimed by another soldier.
From above, the field looked like a storm of movement. Captains barked ...

Chen Ren dropped toward the rocky protrusion with a startled shriek as a bat-like beast latched onto his face.

The impact shook through his arms and legs. The beast tried to slither out from under him, wings beating desperately, but Chen Ren drove his fi...

The sound of the explosions still echoed in Count Arvallen’s mind as his ship drifted down the river, away from the burning city.

He could still see it vividly: himself standing in his estate, hunched over the plans of Solmere’s defenses with two retainers at his side. The ...
