Chapter 485: Eternal Second

The young man stared at Feng Tianyu with genuine confusion written across his features. Those eyes held no recognition, no spark of the decades-long rivalry that had defined both their lives. Just bewilderment at being confronted by a weeping stranger.

"Do I know you?" the question hung in the air.

Feng Tianyu felt something cold settle in his chest. The voice was wrong. The cadence was off. Even the way the young man held himself was different from Wu Shenlong's characteristic ca...

Slight delay

Hi everyone,

Today's chapters will be a few hours delayed.

Just wanted to apologise and give everyone a heads up! 🙏🏼

Chapter 484: Defeat Number 1,848: Death

Master Hong stepped forward, trying to keep his voice steady despite the pressure bearing down on everyone in the courtyard. "Elder Feng, please. This truly isn't a good time. The grandmaster's seclusion is at a critical juncture. If you could return next month, I'm certain he would be happy to—"

"Next month?" Feng Tianyu's eyes narrowed. "You want me to wait another month? I've waited fifty-one years, Hong. Fifty-one years of always being second best. Of hearing people whisper behin...

Chapter 483: The Debt of 1,847 Losses

The stone beneath Elder Feng Tianyu's feet cracked like thunder, spider-webbing outward in perfect concentric circles. Dust rained from the ceiling of the ancient meditation chamber as his Martial Aura blazed to life, no longer the deep blue of Sect Mastery but the brilliant silver-white of Heaven-Breaking Realm.

Sixty-three years old. Sixty-three years of cultivation, and finally, finally, he had reached the same realm as that insufferable monk.

Feng Tianyu opened h...

Chapter 482: Student Life

The Swift Wind Stepping technique felt natural in Jinghui's body now, each muscle group perfectly aligned with the movement pattern. I gathered my Martial Aura, feeling it flow outward from my crystallized heart. The golden-white energy wrapped around me like a second skin.

"Remember," Master Hong said from his position near the wall, "you're not trying to force the technique into permanence. Let your understanding guide the energy naturally."

I nodded and began the stepping seque...

Chapter 481: Echoes

I only knew a little from Jinghui’s memory so I shook my head.

"Martial Echoes are the signature technique of Sect Mastery Realm. They represent the cultivation stage where your techniques become so perfected that they gain a form of independent existence." Master Hong's expression grew reverent. "An Echo is a martial technique that continues to exist even after the practitioner dies. It's how masters pass down their most profound insights to future generations."

This sounded in...

Chapter 480: Lesson 1 - Martial Aura

I sat cross-legged on the meditation mat, watching the afternoon sunlight filter through the training room's single window. This chamber was different from the waterfall cave where I'd nearly gotten myself killed earlier. Larger, more formal, with proper formation arrays carved into the stone walls for containing spiritual energy fluctuations. The kind of place where serious martial arts instruction happened.

Three hours had passed since my confrontation with Master Hong. The excuse he...

Chapter 479: The Teacher's Heartbreak

I stared at Master Hong standing there in the entrance, water droplets from the waterfall catching the light around him. This was exactly what I'd been trying to avoid. The whole point of finding this isolated training chamber was to keep my experiments private, but apparently I'd underestimated just how far a Sect Mastery breakthrough would travel.

"Master Hong," I said carefully. "I can explain—"

The monk's hurt expression twisted with rage, and suddenly the air around him e...

Chapter 478: The Boy Who Wanted Strength

Master Hong held his calm peaceful expression until the last student filed out of the training hall. The heavy wooden doors creaked shut, and only then did his shoulders slump forward. He reached up to rub his bald head, feeling the familiar smoothness beneath his palm.

"A Descent. Now, of all times." The words escaped as barely more than a whisper.

He walked to the window overlooking the temple grounds. Students hurried between buildings, some still shaken from the morning's even...

Chapter 477: Breakthrough! Breakthrough! Breakthrough!

I sat cross-legged on the cultivation mat and channeled a thread of Martial Qi into my right palm. The energy pooled there, dense and heavy, completely different from the regular qi I was used to. It felt raw, primal even, like the distilled essence of a warrior's fighting spirit without any of the ethereal qualities I normally associated with cultivation energy.

Jinghui remained silent in our shared mindscape, but I could feel his presence watching intently. He'd been quiet ever since ...

Chapter 476: Pure Wuxia Realm!

Wuxia Cultivation Stages

But then Master Hong's stern expression softened slightly, the lines around his eyes crinkling with what looked like concern rather than suspicion.

"Cao Jinghui," he said. "I’m glad to see you’re unharmed, but you gave us quite a scare by running off during the emergency. What were you thinking?"

"Forgive me, Master,” Jinghui bowed respectfully. “When I realized Yu Ganglie wasn't in our chamber, I couldn't bear the thought of leaving him behi...

Chapter 475: Unwanted

I flexed my fingers experimentally, getting used to this new body.

Jinghui's form was lean but wiry, built more for endurance than raw power.

The spiritual energy flowing through his meridians felt different too: rougher, more primal than the refined qi I was accustomed to. This was pure Martial Qi, untouched by the celestial refinement techniques that most cultivation worlds employed.

But something felt wrong.

The air itself seemed hostile to my presence, like the wor...

Chapter 474: A Deal With The Devil

Jinghui's feet moved before his mind caught up, following the stream of panicked students through the stone corridors.

The temple's usually peaceful halls had transformed into a river of chaos: gray-robed disciples shoving past each other, some crying, others shouting instructions that nobody seemed to hear. The descent alarm continued its wailing, each pulse making his bones vibrate with urgency.

"Stay together!" Master Huang's voice carried over the mayhem, his Sect Mastery Real...

Chapter 473: The Descent

"You need to tell Master Huang about these dreams," Yu Ganglie said quietly, keeping his voice low so as not to wake the other students. "They're getting worse."

Jinghui shook his head and swung his legs off the sleeping mat. "They're the same as always. Just memories."

"Memories that are eating you alive." Yu Ganglie stood as well, his shorter frame casting a shadow across Jinghui's mat. "The temple's healing techniques could help with the trauma. Master Huang has dealt with—"<...

A/N

Warning! This chapter can be pretty brutal

The voices cut through the darkness like rusty blades.

"You've brought shame to this family!" His father's voice cracked with fury, the kind of raw emotion that made seven-year-old Cao Jinghui pull his thin blanket over his head. But the fabric was to...

I settled into the lotus position on my meditation cushion, trying to center myself after everything that had just happened. The tournament arena buzzed with excited chatter around me, but I barely heard it. My mind was still processing the implications of what I'd done in the Realm of the Chosen.

Creating that time loop for Du Yanze had been...

Yuan's eyes sharpened. Temporal anomalies were serious business, especially when detected in realms under the sect's supervision. Without a word to the other elders, he simply vanished, his form dissolving into motes of light that scattered on the evening breeze.

He materialized an instant later in the Realm Monitoring Division, a section of...

Chapter 469: Karmic Explosion

Eight viewing screens floated in perfect formation around Sect Master Yuan and the elders. Each screen showed a different inner world, a different battle, a different test of character and skill unfolding in real time. The soft glow of the formations cast everything in warm golden light, making the serious faces of the Life Realm cultivators look almost serene.

Yuan sat in the centre; his attention divided between multiple screens with the kind of effortless focus that only came from c...

Chapter 468: Best Job In The Sect!

A/N

I'll be releasing 3 chapters today and take Monday off. We'll resume on Tuesday with Ke Yin's POV and the quarter-finals.

Meng Qiao stretched lazily in his cushioned observation chair, one hand reaching for another candied spirit fruit while the other adjusted the viewing formation floating before him. The projection showed a bird's eye view of the Realm of the Chosen, its golden afternoon light making everything look pleasantly warm and inv...

UPDATED: Cultivation realms of the Two Sun’s World and how it compares to the cultivation realms of the Cultivation World

I have spent the past week going back and checking to see if the ranking system made sense, unfortunately, there were many inconsistencies.

Here is the updated version, hope this one makes more sense :)

Qi Condensation = Rank 1

Elemental Realm = Rank 2

Half-Step Stellar Realm = Rank 3

Stellar Realm = Rank 4

Half-Step Life Realm = Rank 5

Chapter 467: The 100th Loop

A/N

This is tomo's first chapter being released early, read previous 2 chapters if you haven't already

Loop forty-one began with Du Yanze sitting in his Throne of Will instead of the library. The crystallized chamber of his convictions had changed with his cultivation advancement, growing larger and more complex. But more importantly, he could now see something that hadn't been visible before.

Records. Floating crystalline formations through...

Chapter 466: Breakthrough

A/N

This is today's second chapter, read previous chapter if you haven't already

By the twenty-fifth loop, Du Yanze had begun to see the combat patterns clearly. Zhao Mingwei always led with the same intimidation technique. The six escorts always formed their hexagonal absorption formation on the same timing. Even their individual fighting styles followed predictable sequences.

"It's like reading a script," he murmured to himself as...

Chapter 465: 20 Iterations

A/N

Today, I’ll be releasing 3 chapters to end Du Yanze’s arc, the reason I’m writing the time loops is because they become relevant in tomorrow’s chapter. The Realm of the Chosen belongs to the Azure Peak Sect, so they’re monitoring it, what will their reaction be when they see a realm rewind not once...
