After handling the initial damage control, Sage could finally take a break to reflect on what had just happened. Lives had been lost due to his negligence. He had no idea that such a simple experiment would turn out so destructive. All he wanted to do was see if he could raise the wisdom of a little bug by making it experience a few lives. How could he ever guess that it would succeed with such spectacularly horrible results.
That storm of lighting was no doubt a Heav...

He matured the little beetle till it was the size of his palm and then moved the orange flame over to it. Using it as an experiment, he didn’t apply a Human Seal since that would just make it more creepy. The orange flame fell upon the beetle and it let out a squeaking noise before going silent.
There was no smell of burning flesh, or insect in this case, yet the beetle was still being bathed in the orange flame. It was no normal fire after all, the Samsara Flame co...

Sage stepped into the first beast shop he saw in the Golden Market. The nameplate over the door read ‘Coastal Critters’, which he found to be quite an unusually whimsical name for a business. Most of the businesses he’d seen in this world liked to have a high sounding and fortuitous tilt to their name. Gold, Jade, Lucky, Palace, Pleasant, and many other similar names that were meant to bring good luck were the usual. They’d even used a similar style of name for their own ...

Wan Ling looked like she wanted to give him a slap for acting as if he was a child trying to get excused from a responsibility and not equal partners in their business. She said nothing and instead just looked up at the sky and let out a sigh. Sage hadn’t yet left and so she just waved her hand dismissively at him since she didn’t feel like dealing with any more of his antics at the moment.
Sage slipped away and let out a sigh of his own. Dealing with that woman w...

Wan Ling stared him down again. Those beautiful eyes of hers seemed like they could read his thoughts and he felt sweat beading up on his back. She narrowed her eyes, but didn’t say anything else. Instead she waved her hand in a gesture for him to continue. She also seemed a bit sad and Sage didn’t know what that meant.
“Ahem. As I was saying, since I’m now the City Lord of Lionheart Town I can authorize alterations to the town. There are many upgrades to the city's...

‘Skyfire’ Jiang Hua wiped out his whole clan. Even if Sage didn’t have much of a connection to them, it was still hundreds of people that were murdered. Admittedly, many of them were not good people. They had killed Jiang Hua’s brother and so he repaid them in a similar fashion. It was exactly that practice of pulling up the roots that had irked Sage so much. Why did his Uncle Zhang have to die? Why were dozens of young children and women killed as well? Sage wasn’t foo...

Wan Ling had not been idle in his absence. She had finalized the cooperation with Thousand Treasures and they had become the exclusive dealer of Airship Engines. The Prosperity Company already had a large factory set up on the Lang Clan compound. All the Prosperity Company was responsible for was manufacturing while Thousand Treasures handled distribution, sales, support, logistics and most importantly protecting their design from being copied.

He hadn’t yet tested the Gauss Rifle or other electrical gadgets, but from his previous experiments, he was pretty sure they wouldn’t work. Even if they did, they likely wouldn’t work very well. There was just something about the way electricity worked that was different in this world. Even if the weapons continued to function they likely wouldn’t last long before the batteries were completely dead. On the other hand, they were the Thundercloud Sect, and they had many mor...

Of course, with the technique a success, there was the possibility of merging with the Cloud Swallowing Thunder Eel, but Sage felt it would be in poor taste to steal away the Guardian Beast of the Thundercloud Sect. It would be many times worse than Dian Huifang wanting to leave. She wasn’t even a member of the Thundercloud Sect, and it was already a pain to get her to just leave the Dian Clan.
On the other hand, Sage wasn’t going to miss out on a great opportunit...

A tiny electrical spark flickered between clouds of charged particles. Like a tiny snake, it flashed back and forth between the easiest routes in a neon cloud world. All around it, other sparks flickered around. The little electrical snake was little more than a collection of a dozen little sparks in a line, a tiny bolt of lightning. That tiny bolt crashed into another one of the sparks flashing through the cloud and consumed it, growing larger. What appeared to be a random flick...

On an empty hill of yellow sand, a person was standing in solitude. They were wearing a set of tan colored modern military fatigues, complete with sturdy boots and a wide brimmed hat that drooped slightly at the edges. The man even had a solid shelled backpack on his back, the hexagonal outline looking much like a turtle shell. At the moment that man was looking up at the empty sky.
After a few minutes, he dropped his head and looked down at his hand. Upon his open pa...

After the painstaking job of altering the Memory Seed, Sage stopped messing with the Scyzur. He’d already collected a huge amount of Indigo Quartz, and Lunarstone, as well as a huge number of Shard Rifles from their treasuries. He didn’t plan on selling such weapons to anyone else, so the stockpile he built up was purely for his personal use. All he had to do was alter the Memory Seed so it looked like he only robbed four tribes instead of two dozen. He would hand over Indigo...

With the Scyzur base captured, Sage used their knowledge to find other Scyzur bases. He didn’t feel like wasting his time slowly taking down everyone in the base this time. Instead he used one of the weaker Scyzur and convinced him that he needed to have a private conversation with one of the important Scyzur in the base. With the suggestion implanted, Sage’s Scyzur met up with the other Scyzur and made friends with them. The rat man had completely forgotten that he carried a...

Unfortunately for them, the Blacksilver Knights weren’t drastically affected by the fire from the Shard Rifles. The crystals punched holes right through their bodies, but without any vital organs to worry about or blood to spill, they continued forward. They were only temporarily slowed down when their joints were struck or their body was hit in the same spot multiple times when it was enough to ruin their ‘muscle’ function. One of the Blacksilver Pawns grabbed a shield and...

Unfortunately, only the name and a simple impression came to him directly. He didn’t see a vision, hear a description, nor was he imparted with a manual. Instead he just seemed to instinctively know what the technique would do. It was a method to reforge a magical tool. It wasn’t imparted to him in those terms, but he simply knew it. Of course, he didn’t actually earn the technique, that would require him studying the symbol and learning to manipulate his Spirit Power accor...

Sage returned to his human form. He also realized how silly it was for him to form a Body of Laws while still in human form. He’d made a huge mess out of his clothing for no reason. It didn’t actually have any effect on the Body of Laws. He still had a giant cobra body at all times. The Human Seal was like a filter, one that made him conform to the human shape and outward form. It didn’t matter what form he was in while his body transformed, it was his true body that was tr...

With the Inner World put in order, Sage could now focus on a task that had been waiting for him since his breakthrough. The creation of a new body. It wasn’t as drastic as it sounded. Every rank breakthrough would increase the quality of the cultivator’s body. There was a saying that the human body was a perfect creation in the womb. It was only after being born that it was tainted by the air and food of the human world. Without the proper environment, humans could only grow ...

Staring at the changes before him, Sage realized that he suddenly knew what was going on. Having reached a new rank, awakening his Nascent Soul, the Life Nebula had transformed. As the source of the cultivation technique, the world created by the Seed of Life had been the center of this universe. Each of the other Heavenly Materials he had collected became supports for that extremely unique seed. Now, the Tree of Life had grown to new heights. It was no longer being supported by ...

Feeling fear, Sage was frozen for a few moments. He had to reassure himself a few times that they were inside the Universe Ring, and the man in front of him was very dead. Only after taking a few deep breaths and centering his mind was he able to overcome the deep fear that had been assaulting him. At that point, he finally realized something was wrong. He’d already faced death many times in this new life of his, and he’d even died and came back to life. That was without even...

The four circles intersected with each other unequally. Like a venn diagram on the inside of a dome or hemisphere. The circle to the ‘north and south’ did not overlap, while those on the ‘east and west’ overlapped all three of the other circles.

Every time he made a deal with Guan Zhenyan he definitely felt like he was on the losing end. Even so, each of the transactions had been beneficial for him, it’s just that Guan Zhenyan always gained far more out of it. I suppose that’s the nature of business, isn’t it? Everyone should benefit. The best businessmen just get far more out of it than others.

A storage treasure could only collect objects that the owner was strong enough to lift. It used some sort of mysterious law, as it didn’t actually require a person to pick things up, but could only collect things they could lift without it. A new cultivator couldn’t just stuff a giant boulder into a Storage Bag and then drop it on their equally weak enemies and smash them into a paste. Even if someone else loaded such a stone into a Storage Bag, the weak cultivator would only...

After so many years laboring as a test dummy, Sage developed the technique to ignore pain. Combined with the Blood of Nine Pits, he was ready. As a Poison Master, there was no way he could secretly poison Guan Zhenyan. Instead, he struck when the man would least expect it. Not when Sage visited his home to make a request. Not when Guan Zhenyan was accompanying him into the town for an errand, and definitely not anytime he called the man to the little hovel he was ‘renting’. N...

A huge snake rose up in front of a crippled man lying helpless on the ground. His body was atrophied and weak, yet his head was twice the normal size. He was barely able to hold himself up with his weak arms, but the look on his face was as if he was the one in complete control, glaring imperiously up at the giant monster looking down on him. The elderly woman groaned and climbed back to her feet. Despite her age, she seemed quite strong and didn’t give the snake a second look....

Even if he felt he could defeat the man, there was no sense in not taking every advantage he had. Sage felt no reservation in wasting the enemy’s energy and making him battle his own subordinates. Before he rose up to continue the battle he had deactivated his Hypnotic Eye and switched over to the Timeless Eyes. Getting a glimpse into the future was his greatest strength in battle and the main reason that in the past he could fight those much stronger than himself. Even if he c...

There was no way a poison could remove momentum. It wasn’t a physical force.
Yet, the absurdity of the thought gave him an idea and Sage acted upon it. The Greenrose Venom poisoned living things. Telekinesis was essentially a use of Spirit Power. Didn’t Spirit Power come from living things? Could he poison the Spirit Power? Focusing his strength, he found that he could! The Primal Law he’d comprehended could corrupt anything! Since the projectiles were already s...

The ashes of the giant that they all thought was their leader blew towards them. The Flares were disgusted by the true appearance of their leader, but also fearful of following in the giant’s footsteps. Without more specific orders, the thousands of Flares used various methods to cross the perimeter trench. Mutated muscle bound Flares leaped through the air. Flares covered in body piercings flew up into the air, the hoops through their skin flipping up and stretching their skin...

Similarly odd statements came from many of the Flares. The glowing light died down and there was an infant floating in the air. Just like a newborn baby, with pure and pristine skin, unopened eyes, and curled up into a little fetal ball. Descending from the sky it moved towards the giant cobra that was lying motionless on the ground. The sudden burst of bright light had forced everyone to look away, and now that they looked back they saw that the stran...

Sage had started the process of breaking through as a method to kick out the flame giant. Thankfully, he was successful. If the giant had continued to control his Spiritual Sea, the chances of his breaking through would drop to the bottom. Even now, with how much damage he’d suffered it was already going to be difficult. Yet, Sage wouldn’t give up. In fact he was extremely confident!
To reach the 6th rank, a cultivator normally needed to reach the 4th degree of understa...
