Chapter 738 - Multiplying

Sage didn’t let himself get preoccupied with worries over diluting bloodlines. Even if a majority of his grandchildren were half-human, they were still quite formidable and the miasma didn’t bother them. In fact, the most annoying thing was that his children had built their own homes outside of the border of the Purple Mist Sect. Out of worry, a team of Purple Mist Sect members were assigned to each of their families, but that was far less secure than the impenetrable defenses of the Sect...

Chapter 737 - Clan

For the time being, Sage took the position of the Clan head.

The family was just too happy at this point that he didn’t want to mess it up with politics to create an environment of siblings competing so directly with each other for such a tangible benefit. Instead, he let them continue to do their own thing with the clan rules merely a way for them to earn special resources.

Before he realized it, many years had passed and he became a grandfather. Sage spent much of his time che...

Chapter 736 - Family Matters

With their children growing large enough to become adults, it was time for them to make more decisions. Ling and Jiao knew of Sage’s obligation to rebuild the Lang Clan and now that they’d made it this far, there was still something very important to cover: the new Lang Clan’s rules. When he was a child, the clan had been plagued with problems. If they didn’t have any difficulties, then would they have been destroyed so easily? Not only had their strength declined to a low level, thei...

Chapter 735 - Validation

Boom!

A person wearing dark colored armor is blasted through the air, slamming into a wall before finally coming to a stop. Their limp body slides down the wall to crumple into a pile at the bottom of it. Another person in dark armor rushes over to check upon them and then the crowd lets out a collective sigh as the person makes a thumbs up signal. Then everyone looks back to the center of the fighting ring where the combatant had just been launched from. A young man is standing there i...

Chapter 734 - Hopes and Dreams

Most of Sage’s plans for advancement were put on hold. He worked far less than he ever imagined and spent much of his time with his family. After a hundred years struggling in the martial world with only a few friends along the way, it was a welcome respite to settle down and raise a family in a safe and secure environment. If he was doing this same thing on the outside world he would never be able to relax and let go of his worries as he did, but on the Inner World it was an entirely diffe...

Chapter 733 - Training

Yuhan was a Beast Tamer and he was used to training huge Demonic Beasts, so supervising the exercise for a bunch of children was pretty simple. Liuxian would have a more difficult time keeping the kids focused on their studies and learning after they were tired from their morning exercise. Yijun had the hardest job, teaching them martial arts forms and ensuring they performed them precisely, especially after the other two lessons.

As their grandpa, Yuhan was bound to be a bit gentler on...

Chapter 732 - Expecting

It was only after he had ten children that the poor Ling and Jiao were finally able to rest. The back to back pregnancies had started to take a toll upon them, but they loved their children too much to care. The problem was that pregnancy was just as hard for a cultivator as a mortal and he worried about their progress. With the help of the Inner World, they did not need to burden themselves with birthing dozens of children. It would take only a few generations for the Lang Clan to grow explo...

Chapter 731 - Children

While it was unusual to have two wives with two children, it was also a boon in this situation as they could take turns watching both children while the other meditated to rest and restore their strength. They also took it upon themselves to gang up on Sage. Their level of violence had dropped down to superficial injury and Sage’s newly formed danger-sense didn’t kick in. He carried many bruises during this time and could only apologize endlessly while fulfilling their every request.

Chapter 730 - Danger in the Sheets

At the instant he was least on guard, he’d suddenly faced a deadly threat from his own wife.

It was only then that he remembered that mantids were quite notorious for biting off the heads of their mates. After the male had served its purpose, the larger female would kill them and use them as food to make it easier to grow their eggs. It wasn’t universal, but it happened enough to be quite common and it was only at that instant that Sage realized the trouble he’d gotten into. The H...

Chapter 729 - The Story

The story of the Chong Clan’s past ended there and the old fossil moved on to talking about other things. Some of the questions that Sage had always harbored about his old ancestor down in the Lang Clan Tomb were answered, while many more appeared. The limitations of the Storytime Elixir also became very apparent. While it could garner them a large amount of information, it was also unfocused and uncontrollable. There were many things that Sage wished to ask of this ancient being, but the S...

Chapter 728 - Interrogation

“Are there any restrictions on how many questions we can ask? How long does the pill last and how much will the subject reveal?”

The proud look on Pang Xie’s face faded somewhat and then he coughed to clear his throat, “It’s not an interrogation pill like you think, but don’t worry it’s still very effective! I like to call it the Storytime Elixir. You dissolve the pill in a warm drink and whoever consumes it is overcome with the desire to tell a story of their past.”

Chapter 727 - Wife Bod

The giant mantis screeched and stomped around a little bit more, then it slowly started to shrink, stopping when it was only twelve feet tall. Sage looked up at it and then realized that this was her new default size. He laughed softly and then used his pair of Timeless Eyes to learn her crux and then apply a nearly perfect Human Seal to her as he’d done for Ling. The huge blood red mantis with its vicious and violent appearance turned back into the petite and fragile looking frame of his w...

Chapter 726 - New Body

There were many other beasts that Sage had wanted to include in order to pass down their abilities, but in the end decided not to. The spatial manipulation of Cosmic Traction was high on his list, but he eventually decided to leave that with the Tiankong Clan. It had such an interesting power that it would draw many to wish to use it, but it took so much training and practice that he feared it would stretch his new clan too thin. It would be better to let the Tiankong Clan focus all of their ...

Chapter 725 - Choice

He had considered trying to acquire the egg of an extremely powerful Demonic Beast or Demonic Insect, but after mulling over these concerns for a while he abandoned that idea. There was no telling how long it would take him to track such a thing down in the outside world, or whether he could afford one in the first place. Despite his strength, his actual wealth had been severely depleted and after so many setbacks he hadn’t had time to raise a fortune of the magnitude required to purchase a...

Chapter 724 - Run

The next day the citizens of Fuyang were worked into a fervor talking about the big event of the day before. A dozen people had died, one of the most popular tea houses had been completely leveled to the ground, and a local restaurant was now extremely popular. The restaurant was getting a lot of traffic because of the residual energies left over by two powerful cultivators that had engaged in battle. A passing expert had said something that had astounded other cultivators and now weaker prac...

Chapter 723 - Teahouse

Dou Bao asked and the servant responded with a nod.

Without any further concerns, Dou Bao released his aura, shrouding the whole teahouse with the full majesty of his mighty power. Even if he couldn’t care less about this third son of his, it was still important that his reputation not be tarnished. He was quite curious to see who was so daring to chop a limb off the son of the head of the Yeying Shan Sect. Before reaching the door, his power flung it open. As he stepped inside all th...

Chapter 722 - Foolish Child

Leaving his son and the armies of his sect behind, Dou Bao flew through the air, riding upon the shaft of a giant arrow. Many people looked up into the air to marvel and exclaim at him as he passed by, gossiping about the powerful figure who had just passed by. Dou Bao maintained an upright posture and a stoic countenance, showing off a strong and confident demeanor. Yet, on the inside he was feeling quite pleased with himself for prioritizing the creation of such a flamboyant and recognizabl...

Chapter 721 - Sect Leader

A lone figure stood atop the edge of a mountain peak, gazing down at the many buildings and bustling figures of the sect. His sect. A very pleased smile made its home upon his face and he spent hours enjoying the view. The mere thought of all these people being his subordinates helped him get over how many years he spent living as an insect and burrowing in the ground, then the decades he spent in a brand new body growing back up to adulthood and finally working up to his current position. 2021-08-31 20:00:03 +0000 UTC View Post

Chapter 720 - Child

Somehow this place was very different from the world he remembered and he spent much of his time poring over history and geography books. Unfortunately, the history books only had a detailed account of events for the last few hundred years and only a vague impression of the prior thousand.

Upon reaching the age of 16, Dou Bao began to make a name for himself as a new young genius, defeating all the other youths of the city with his immense prowess. The golden egg in his Dantian was alre...

Chapter 719 - Plotting

A few years later, the little bug had climbed into the folds of a jacket and performed a fake death technique to completely hide its aura and all signs of life. A few days later it woke up and rolled itself out of the folds of clothing, falling to the ground like a piece of debris. Then, a few minutes later it burrowed into the ground to keep from being noticed by its unwilling transporter.

Finally out of that terrible place.

During the years it spent watching that place,...

Chapter 718 - Rebirth

Blood ran from many cuts that had been carved into the flesh of a once young and talented body. Flawless flesh had been transformed into a torn canvas, displaying the cruel art of a doubtlessly twisted individual.

The twisted artist in question was standing with his head lowered, scrutinized by the golden gaze of an obviously displeased fellow. The man with the golden eyes looked from the mess of flesh hanging from a chain and then back to the responsible party. Then the man let out a s...

Chapter 717 - Plan

Sage didn’t return to Lionheart Town. Instead, he was back with the Tiankong Clan at the Mount Song Sword Sect. He sheltered with them for a time, while the Tiankong Clan and the Prosperity Company kept a very low profile. They conducted business as usual, but there were no large movements or changes. They seemed somewhat timid at this time, choosing to surrender in the face of adversity. A few troublemakers were sent away amicably with the Prosperity Company suffering a loss, and the Tiank...

Chapter 716 - Future

Sage had decided on a course of action some time ago and he planned to follow it through. While he was tempted to change his plan to spend time at the Holy Flame Sect, he resisted that urge. He met back up with Ling later that day and they spent a few weeks in the Sect as he’d originally planned. Since they wouldn’t return for years they had many things to see, people to visit, and parties to attend. The two of them had also placed those closest to them into difficult positions when they ...

Chapter 715 - Tanks

Before introducing them to it, the idea of a tank seemed absolutely ridiculous to cultivators. They used armor to protect themselves, and vehicles to move around faster. They had magic chariots and carriages that were covered with defensive formations, but that was merely to let them survive a few hits while running away. It was too ingrained among them that fighting was done by cultivators. When he described creating a device to do the fighting for them, they made the connection with the obs...

Chapter 714 - Steam Army

Sage stared at the man for a few moments before the fellow stopped laughing at his own joke and finally introduced himself, “I am Pan Shun, the lead researcher of the Steam Army. As you can see we’re quite a group of misfits. The Sect has given me all the most unusual and eccentric professionals. We may not be the most talented, but I can tell you without a doubt we have collected all the most unique personalities.”

If the others here were as strange as the first two people he’d...

Chapter 713 - Holy Flame Sect

In the time that Sage had been recovering from his death, training, or out on the run, the Tiankong siblings had all grown quite close with Ling. They had been working together to build the Prosperity Company up and to build the foundation for the Tiankong Clan. Now that they were here in the Holy Flame Sect, they were eager to see the things that they had heard about from Ling and visit the best restaurants and places of interest that she’d told them about.

After the banquet, they st...

Chapter 712 - Celebration

The next day, Sage and Ling met with many of those in the Holy Flame Sect that they hadn’t seen for years. Besides Sage’s three roommates from so many years ago that were now his groomsmen, there was also the Alchemist Tang Deng. Sage had worked as an assistant for him while working to attain his very first profession badge. There were also the two Insect Tamers he’d learned how to use scent markers from, Pan Ping and Zeng Shui, both of them elders now. Most strikingly, he actually ran ...

Chapter 711 - Moving On

Struggling through the song and dance, Sage’s lack of comfort was hidden by Yuan Hu’s advanced capability. His voice and instrument weren’t just well played, the music carried Qi along with it and ensured that this wasn’t just any regular performance. Ruanfu looked eager to make them do more, but she couldn’t refute these two. She gazed into the distance at the large buildings she saw there and realized she had finally run into the reason this place was so important.

Finally, ...

Chapter 710 - Impress Me

With that new taunt, the man who was flying through the air cursed audibly, “Are you blind or something?”

Sage felt it to be more of a simple insult than full on cursing, but it was a little more incisive in this language and Ruanfu’s eyes narrowed. She didn’t do anything, but it certainly didn’t make the man’s job any easier.

Having made the task more difficult for himself, the man balancing on the end of his spear decided to pull out all the stops. A slip of paper ap...

Chapter 709 - Two on Two

The two men and two women shuttled back and forth, turning the front courtyard into a warzone. The ground was cracked and cratered, crisscrossed with shallow ditches and deep slices. The air rippled from the force of their bodies colliding together with terrifying force, filling the area with loud booms and gusts of wind, caused by the rapid motion of their bodies. Sage was unsurprised by these proceedings. What actually caught his eye was that even though they were engaging in such fierce co...
