Chapter 648 - Return to Chong Clan

After removing the puppet City Lord, Sage went to the Lang Clan section of the city. There was still some killing to do. He was pleased to see that none of the original powers of Lionheart Town had dared to encroach upon the territory again, but the groups that had had installed a city lord had also set up shop on his territory. He quickly wiped out these few dozen people from the Artful Life Alliance and the Violet Light Sect. Whitestaff didn’t have many on her side, and the Fu Clan didn...

Chapter 647 - Dawn Mountain

Dawn Mountain County. Sage killed the Prefect in charge with just a few minutes of effort. That Prefect, along with Zi Mei, had been the main culprits responsible for turning Black Saber and the others against him. King’s killers had to be put down. There was still one thing bothering him, and for that he walked over towards the table where the secretary was hiding.

“Come out and answer my questions.”

The secretary slowly crawled back out and then kneeled in front of him, ...

Chapter 646 - Successful Man

It took a few moments for the Prefect to make the connection between the size of his gut and his ‘success’. The bookish man with the stack of Jade Tablets pulled one hand away from his cargo and covered his mouth. He clamped his hand over his mouth to stifle any sound, while the large guard beside him immediately had a sharp edge to his gaze. He glared at Sage and his hand went to the hilt of the sword on his waist. At the same time, the fat prefect’s face had gone red and Sage thought ...

Chapter 645 - Settling Scores

The Violet Light Sect is one. Zi Mei was a subordinate of the Violet Light Sect, but she still got King killed, so that should also count as one. The Artful Life Alliance is half gone, but only the weaklings so it doesn’t really count. That’s only two down, and many more to go.

Sage purposely refrained from attacking any more of the Artful Life Alliance groups for the moment. He wanted them to be afraid. He wanted them to not know where he was going to strike next. The long...

Chapter 644 - Red Jungle County

Two large doors, nearly ten feet tall and wide, were barred by a giant beam of wood. A dozen cultivators wearing a soldier’s uniform were standing front of those doors with a fearful look on their faces. Behind them, four cultivators wearing expensive robes were sitting around a large table. The hall they were in was constructed entirely out of some sort of red tinted stone. The chamber had only a few small windows intended for light and ventilation, they were too small for a person to sque...

Chapter 643 - Mistakes

The Sect Leader was flabbergasted. The Ancestor gave up just like that? The old man was deciding their fate without even putting up a fight. A sudden rage appeared in his gut and his eyes glimmered. He turned his gaze towards the giant spider and brought out a Messaging Jade. Just as he was about to use it, the old man turned around to face him and shook his head. That noble law spread out again, a show of ultimate authority.

“Do as I said. We have erred, and we shall make up for it. ...

Chapter 642 - Destroyed

While the Artful Life Alliance was plotting to lay a trap for Sage, he had not just gone into hiding. There were those who thought he was too weak to take on the stronger members of the alliance, while there were others who thought he was just taking his time to properly prepare the next part of his attack. The truth was that he’d chosen a completely different target to take them all off guard.

As soon as Sage started his attacks upon the Artful Life Alliance, the other groups that ha...

Chapter 641 - Windfall

Sage continued to terrorize the Artful Life Alliance, getting his revenge upon them for the attempt upon his life. At first, he felt somewhat uneasy with his actions. The fires and destruction he caused lead to many accidental deaths he wasn’t intending on causing. His real targets were only the leaders of these clans, along with those warriors who had directly joined the fight against him. Along the way, many loyal guards and defenders were killed, which he felt sad about. These fellows we...

Chapter 640 - Bad Decision

“Why?! Why are you doing this? Who are you?!”

A fire raged around the source of this voice. A burly man covered in sweat and ash fell to his knees in the middle of a courtyard while the building around him had transformed into an inferno of heat and flame. Thick smoke filled the air and stained his body. The man had only a torn and burned up pair of boots and breeches. There were a few red lines sliced into his skin, something had torn through his clothing and then cut into him, but...

Chapter 639 - Division

Sage nodded, “That’s right. If I fail again, I don’t want any of you caught up in it again. We shall be tied together only in that we are both shareholders of the Prosperity Company,” he paused and smiled at the upset look on the Tiankong Sibling’s faces, “I know. You hate it, but this is how it has to be. If you don’t like it, then you just have to get so strong that nobody would even dare to harm one of your friends. Got it? You can’t let King down.”

Chapter 638 - Back to Business

Of course, it wasn’t actually gold, but a Spirit Stone Lode. There was a very high chance of finding such a lode near any Spirit Vein, but there was always that chance that it would be too deep in the earth, or it had already been unearthed in the past. Fortunately, they ran into no such complications. Instead, the issue was far easier to solve. The Spirit Stone Lode was located in the area of the poison miasma, a few hundred feet under the surface.

It was basically impossible to reac...

Chapter 637 - New Icefire Valley

The thick green miasma quickly flooded the chamber. The previously damaged formation upon the dome had been repaired and it came to life with a bright glow. The formations on the dome were responsible for distributing the miasma to the area around Icefire Valley. It was the damage to them that had caused the periodic weakness in the poison miasma. From this moment on, there would no longer be a window every few decades where the miasma was easier to get through.

On the other hand, the n...

Chapter 636 - Countless Ego Concoction

This Qi Cultivation Technique was not actually intended to be used for professions. The creator gave it quite the pretentious name, not realizing that it would be later downgraded to something used almost exclusively by a Minor Profession: the Weaver. Or, at least it used to be a Minor Profession. Commonly, the professions that produced powerful assistance for Cultivators were known as Major Professions. The other professions were essentially providing assistance for the Major Professions and...

Chapter 635 - Half-Disciple

After a wedding fit for royalty, and a few years as newlyweds, Sage finally approached Pang Xie, the crab, and Pang Jiangbei, the Cauldron Plant. He brought out a set of techniques that he’d only ever shared small parts of with anyone else. The ‘Instructions of Divine Paradise’. An alchemical manual that Sage found hidden within the Soul Taming Abode, a place he discovered very early in his career, but it was also when he had first been transformed into a non-human. That was the end of ...

Chapter 634 - New Sect

Sage waved to them and leapt into the air, stepping on the open air and propelling himself away. As a Soul Clone, it shared Sage’s will, and their minds were connected. They could access all the knowledge and memories of the other, while also being able to act independently. These two newlyweds would be pretty busy for quite some time, but eventually they would realize they had no control over the Human Seal and he would use that leverage to gain their loyalty. He didn’t intend to turn th...

Chapter 633 - Cousin Crab

Any Demonic Beasts he left in Icefire Valley would be killed or captured by the Mount Song Sword Sect. Most of them at least. They might also leave the outer area as a training ground in which case they would control the population and hunt them as practice. That was why he felt no guilt in capturing them and sending them to the Inner World. They would live on rather than be made into materials. A few of them might be sent to join the Tiankong Clan, but for the most part they targeted bird ty...

Chapter 632 - Cleaner

Sage took the core of the Poisonfeather Bird out of Duo Tan’s tomb. Then, with the source removed, he started the long process of absorbing the remaining miasma. With a poison core already formed, he used the faster route and sent it directly to the Inner World, increasing the intensity in that poisonous valley where the Soul Clone built a Sect. Capturing this ephemeral soul poison didn’t use much Qi, but there was so much of it that it was going to take him a long time to clear such a hu...

Chapter 631 - What?

Sage immediately mentioned the first rate powers that controlled the provinces to the northwest and northeast, respectively. It was a not so subtle threat that showed them he meant business. The 9th Elder’s fury seemed to grow and Sage even sensed a hint of killing intent. The man’s eyes grew cold as they stared at him. Sage fixed his golden eyes on those of the slim 9th Elder and stared back without a shred of fear. He was isolated in this room with 7 other Nascent Souls, many of which w...

Chapter 630 - Song Meeting

Sage was pleased to see Song Lu Tian was at the meeting along with six others. He recognized Elder Meng and Elder Zhong, but Song Lu Tian took the opportunity to introduce him. It took him only a few seconds to realize they were all Elders of the Mount Song Sword Sect.

“I’ve been told you were instrumental in helping Brother Twelve to advance?”

The woman introduced as the 4th Elder was the one speaking and she seemed to be examining Sage quite carefully.

Chapter 629 - Back to Mount Song

Once the giant croc was captured, the giant spider that was Sage’s True Body scrambled away from the banks of the river and started leaping into the air once more. The Five Mountain Province had two giant mountain ranges that ran into it, meeting in the center where the Mount Song Sword Sect built their headquarters. It just so happened that the Icefire Valley was built along that mountain range, so Sage started to use the smaller peaks like diving boards, hopping up a slope and then taking...

Chapter 628 - Close Call

Sage suddenly regretted not having a big clock to toss into the Leatherback’s mouth, but he was also lacking the lifelong grudge. As if sensing his thoughts, the giant crocodile burst forth from the water, following up the sudden snap of jaws with a full body lunge. Throwing itself out of the mile wide river and jumping towards him with jaws stretched wide.

Not wanting to be made into a snack, Sage used Stormsbreath, and Divine Breath in combination with the Fluid Power Lines to relea...

Chapter 627 - Source

Sage saw a shimmering object at the bottom of the hole, so he reached in with his Spirit Power, using a telekinetic technique to pull it out. A purple sphere with a feather-like pattern upon it appeared in front of him. The surface seemed carved with many long rounded scales with a shaft down the center and many slanted parallel veins. From the feel of its energy, it seemed to be the core of a Demonic Beast. He picked his brain for a few minutes before he remembered this description. Zhenniao...

Chapter 626 - Chamber

Once the hole in the rock was large enough, the Blacksilver Knight climbed through and led the way into the chamber. Sage let it go first in order to trigger any traps or other surprises that might be waiting for him. He wasn’t foolish enough to test the waters himself if he didn’t have to. Sage followed the Blacksilver Knight into the chamber and found it to be quite small. The poison miasma was so thick that he could only see a few feet in front of himself, but he used the Law of Corrup...

Chapter 625 - Collecting

For others, the miasma was extremely terrible, and the whole place felt like immediate death no matter where it was tested. During those times of weakness every few decades, there would be areas of weakness and cultivators would choose them as their point of entry. Obviously, Sage started his search with the areas that didn’t get weakened, and roamed around the perimeter of the poison miasma. While collecting Seething Purple Cobras, he also took note of the strength of the poison.

Chapter 624 - Poison Soul

During those three years, there was another setback. The Soul Clone gravely injured its Nascent Soul and had to waste a few decades recovering. During this time it could use only a fraction of its Qi, Spirit Power, and Soul. Sage was able to use Psionic Crystals and the Eye of the World to accelerate its recovery, but only to a certain extent. It was unable to train using any cultivation related techniques and spent most of the time following scholarly pursuits. It studied the many techniques...

Chapter 623 - Poison Cultivation

Using his Poison Dantian and second set of meridians, Sage broke through to the second rank, a Qi Condensation Cultivator. At this level, the qi was condensed into a liquid form, and in this more stable state it could be pushed out of the body. He lifted his hand and a purple colored energy coalesced upon his palm. Since he was already sitting within the mass of poison miasma, there wasn’t anything around for him to test it upon, but he could tell it had a very strange nature. His weak cult...

Chapter 622 - Inspiration

Sage felt a sort of rejection from the water around him and he climbed to his feet. He walked out of the Pool of Eternal Tears, not wanting to feel what would happen if that feeling got worse. At that moment he stopped to examine his body and despite how he’d felt earlier, he wasn’t torn to pieces. There was not a single shred of injury to his external body, but his meridians were wider. He had also understood much.

Lifting his hand, he reached out and his Qi resonated with the powe...

Chapter 621 - Pool of Eternal Tears

The cold sunk to his bones and spread through them. He felt as if the marrow within had turned into ice. He shivered and the motion sent sharp pains shooting through his body. He heard a cracking sound and felt as if his bones had shattered.

A ferocious chill crossed the stage and he locked his opponents legs in ice, then washed them out of the ring with a surging wave of water. The icy gale and flow of icy water faded away completely in just a few seconds, leaving him completely dry an...

Eventually, Elder Meng called an end to the battle, before either of them were injured. Song Lu Tian was brand new to this level of power, but he was still at a higher level than Elder Meng. The longer they fought, the more Song Lu Tian would start to counter the older man’s vast experience.

After the battle was complete, Elder Zhong brought out his kitchen and dining room set again and they celebrated. Even though he’d been taking a beating from the younger generation, Elder Meng w...

To the naked eye, there was only a faint swirling in the purple miasma above. The motion of the world’s energy caused even the miasma to move about. Song Lu Tian sat motionlessly and it appeared as if nothing was going on.

On the other hand, to cultivators that could sense energy, and to those with Spiritual Sense that could feel it, the true Icefire Valley, was a violent storm of churning energy. It was commonly said that the energy of the Heavens and Earth could go through infinite ...
