Chapter 610 - Avatar

Sage wiped the sweat off his forehead. In front of him was a large round furnace. It was like a spherical pot or cauldron, with legs like a clawfoot bathtub and a round lid. On the sides it also had large decorated animal necks and heads. Looking closer, those heads and long necks stretched out from the side of the cauldron where their bodies were engraved. They were stylized versions of the Four Guardians. Black Tortoise of the North, Azure Dragon of the East, Vermillion Bird of the South, a...

Chapter 609 - Dragon’s Pearl

Guan Zhenyan laughed loudly.

Of course Sage knew just how this man operated. He only gave just enough information to be sure to reel Sage in and then would charge his fee for the most important and helpful part. He only bothered to appear when he knew he could get something out of Sage and this time was certainly no different.

“My disciples know me best.”

Who is your disciple, you cheapskate!

“A Dragon’s Pearl is very useful for storing Qi. That little...

Chapter 608 - Back in Business

The strength of laws congregated around the mountain and it didn’t take much time before others learned that it was concentrated around the cultivation room of a certain Lang Sheng. So, when the process was finally over and that law energy dissipated again, Song Lu Tian, as well as Wan Ling and many of the Tiankong were all waiting for him when he walked out.

He gave them all a bow in thanks and they had a celebration to congratulate him for having recovered. With the reinfusion of hi...

Chapter 607 - Restoration

After getting accustomed to his new body and eyes, there was one last thing to test out. His massive bulk moved quickly and in a flash he was standing beside the small lake near the center of his territory in the Universe Ring. The limbs of the Swamp Genesis Spider were unusual for a spider. They weren’t uniformly thin and spindly like a web weaver, nor were they large and thick like a hunting spider. Instead, they were a mix of both. A spider’s leg was quite unusual, and in the most simp...

Chapter 606 - Marvel

When Sage awoke once more, the world was dark. He blinked a few times, or he intended to at least.

Oh right. First thing I’ll have to get used to. No eyelids.

Just like he was climbing out of bed, his body moved on instinct to throw back the covers and climb out. Though in this case, the ‘covers’ were layers of silk spun into a cocoon along with some sloughed off organic material. Most of it was reabsorbed by the power of the transformation technique, but many cast ...

Chapter 605 - New Body

With the main structure of his new body laid out, Sage left the most time consuming task for last. This was his first experience with the Swamp Genesis Spider and so it had many ancestors that he knew absolutely nothing about. In the past he had already investigated the lines of the other creatures that made up his body. Most of them he had been working with mutating and breeding many times before ever attempting to merge them into his own body. Since he already forged a connection and wished...

Chapter 604 - Filter

Sage’s previous level of power had been what he classified as level 63. Rank 6, Stage 3. Progress after the fifth rank was reliant upon comprehension of the Laws, but those above didn’t want to distribute such knowledge so Sage’s own understanding of the later path was hazy at best. What he did know was that he’d progressed a Primal Law to the 2nd degree, and he had felt no current bottleneck in his progress. After combining with the Swamp Genesis Spider, it seemed to reach the 5th de...

Chapter 603 - Remodeling

The giant spider wove itself a cocoon, and Sage sat motionlessly upon its back. After a few hours, the giant orb of silk was finished with the Swamp Genesis Spider sealed inside. At that point, Sage activated the full and complete Merge technique, combining his mind, body and soul, completely with that of the giant spider. The absolution combination of two entities was no small feat, especially when one of them was the size of a small mountain.

Of course, Sage was not inexperienced with...

Chapter 602 - Tiankong Clan

Sage met up with the other members of the new Tiankong Clan that were on the premises, but most of them were not around. Funnily enough, Ruanfu had taken Wanqian Lei along with her and gone to stay at the Thundercloud Sect. Sage could only chuckle at her focused pursuit of Manji. He had no idea why she’d chase after an ‘old man’, but he knew he’d be congratulating Manji eventually. On second thought, I’ll be congratulating Ruanfu and apologizing to Manji.

Wan Ling ret...

Chapter 601 - Lang Returns

He certainly wasn’t expecting to see the new Dragoons with shiny new gear, but it wasn’t really a surprise to him. Given the time difference on the Inner World, a single year for him turned into hundreds there. Without knowing how long he’d been ‘away’, there was no telling how much they’d advanced. In fact, he was more worried about what would happen to civilization on the Inner World without any of the Tiankong to guide it. He feared it would be destroyed while he was gone, but ...

Chapter 600 - Towers

The nine towers were full of curves and arches, with Blue Icesilver latticeworks and Steel Silk cables crisscrossing back and forth along their sides. They were interconnected like suspension bridge pylons to create a large web-like structure in the air between them. The central tower was the largest and filled with living quarters, taking the role of Sage’s old manor as well as having space for the Hoplite and Dragoon workers. Sage planned to phase out all the Hoplites eventually, but he w...

Chapter 599 - Seclusion

With that embarrassing episode over, Sage took a few moments to compose himself before heading into an isolated training room. He stopped to stand in front of a large egg and gently ran his ghostly hand over the shell. While Hei Bai had stolen the egg from his storage chamber underground, she had not taken the one he kept on the Inner World. There were also a couple spread out among the wilderness, but those were far away and he didn’t want to risk the danger of traveling for months to retr...

Chapter 598 - Mount Song Sword Sect

Chong Xiezi, Kong Min, and the Jade Horde leaders only stuck around for a few days. They were happy to build a better relationship with the Mount Song Sword Sect and also to make sure they wouldn’t need to rush to save Sage again, which they mentioned multiple times over drinks at dinnertime to tease him. They left using the local branch of the Merciful Mollusk, and then Sage spent another couple weeks with Zhu Jiao and Wan Ling, making sure that they’d be safe here. He didn’t want to s...

Chapter 597 - Outdone

“Wait, so we really are just heading right back to Lionheart Town?”

Wan Ling shook her head, “No, we’re heading towards Five Mountain Province. Song Lu Tian has offered to shelter us for some time.”

Seeing the confused look on Sage’s face, she shared a look with Zhu Jiao and they shared another chuckle, “You were battling near the border of Five Mountain and Endless Valley. I contacted all of your friends and had them use the Merciful Mollusk. I bought a special devi...

Chapter 596 - Cornered

As soon as Wan Ling whistled, the doors opened again and a familiar face entered the room. Sage was ambushed so thoroughly that he was shocked into silence.

How can she be so good at stealing my words?

His own idle thought broke his shock, but he still had no idea what to say at this moment. The new arrival came to stand next to Wan Ling, her pale skin bearing only a slight trace of soft blue veins, no longer pulsing and standing out largely from her skin like they had be...

Chapter 595 - Loyalty

After all that happened, Sage knew he had been far too ambitious. He’d thought that with some cheap manpower he could spread over the whole of the Kingdom, gathering money and information to fortify a new generation of the Lang Clan and repay the Holy Flame Sect for taking him in. Many disasters later, he now knew more than ever how small his position was and how easily he might lose his life. He had underestimated the desire of those in power to prevent others from threatening them.

Chapter 594 - Flying Ship

With the battlefield completely cleared and the Flying Ship clear of debris, Sage flew over to join everyone upon the ship. While he was busy inside the tortoise’s body they cleaned up everything else and boarded before him. When the mountain of a corpse disappeared, Song Lu Tian greeted his approach with a loud laugh.

“Hah, you really know how to turn heads. I had always thought you were just a craftsman with unique methods, especially after I saw that blade you made for Kang Min. ...

Chapter 593 - Finished

The little glowing sphere swirled and the glow faded away. All that remained was a small white sphere, with a thin little tail coming from it. Sage used a Spirit Technique, lifting the object into the air with telekinesis and spinning it around to see a dark brown iris and a little white skull at the center of a black pupil. It was an eyeball. Hei Bai’s strange eye, and likely the source of one of her techniques. Sage smiled slightly and sent the object into a formation inside the Universe ...

Chapter 592 - Accord

The hastily made agreement pleased all but a few. Song Lu Tian was annoyed to hear his killing spree would have to come to a stop, but the most angry was of course the woman that was being sacrificed. She was still roaming about the battlefield the lower rank cultivators were fighting on. She’d raked the sides of the Flying Ship with the burning lines shooting from her eyes. The lower rank cultivators didn’t hear of the agreement that the Nascent Souls had made until they flew over and la...

Chapter 591 - Dire Straits

Fu Zedong, the arrogant young genius, was still alive. He was on the larger half of the army and survived to see the Flying Ship float past and reveal the other battlefield that had been wiped clean. They had started this battle with around five hundred rank fives and more than a thousand rank fours on their side. After so many ups and downs, they were at only a fifth of their original number. Only about a hundred rank fives remained, which gave them almost equal numbers as their enemy. As fo...

Chapter 590 - Retreat

The retreating enemy forces didn’t seem to care much about what the many third rank Jade Horde troops were doing. To them, it looked like the weaker forces were retreating to the transport vessel to prepare for a getaway. There were so many of them, so it made sense for them to get on board while the stronger cultivators covered them. They figured that when they pulled back, Lang Sheng and his forces would get aboard the Flying Ship and flee for their lives. Most of the rank and file were u...

Chapter 589 - Rudderless

When the fiery red aura surrounding them suddenly dissipated, hundreds of cultivators realized that they were no longer the ones on top. In the beginning, even if many of them died, they knew that their enemy was like a cornered animal, fighting with all they had in the face of death.  None of them were fools, but the rewards they had been promised by their Sects and Clans were worth the risk. They had no idea how much this rogue Lang Sheng was worth, but the rewards they were promised i...
