Next week's chapter of Ave Xia Rem Y will be delayed until Wednesday for Core Disciples.
I am hoping to get it posted sooner, but I think it's better to prepare you for the worst-case scenario from the get-go. The reason for this delay is that I'm coming down with something. Hopefully, it's nothing serious, but I'm going to have to get tested over the weeke...

Qu Rou clicks his tongue.
“They went inside.”
“So it seems,” comes the disinterested reply from Xi Mou. He can barely see anything from this far out. Still, he trusts Qu Rou not to lie about his failings.
Under other circumstances, Xi Mou would be taunting Qu Rou for missing. It is not that Xi Mou dislikes his fellow Core Disciple. Qu Rou just happens to be s...

The door was frozen.
Moments ago, Amanda had been vacillating on whether she should try to force her way into the lounge car or not. Now, the decision seemed to have been taken out of her hands. A thick layer of ice had spread over the door, completely blocking the only way into the lounge car from this side of the train.
“That’s not good...

The Dead Plains are home to many ruins. Some are relatively recent, the results of ill-fated attempts to assert control over these lands. Others, however, are ancient, even by the standards of cultivators. They are the remnants of mighty kingdoms forgotten by time. Many are the tales of people who have gone into them and found unimaginable treasures waiting within.

“Finding such a clear spring is nothing less than divine providence. I must go into deep meditation to better appreciate it. Perhaps for the next thirty months.”
“You speak with wisdom beyond your years, junior. Truly, we should all contemplate this mystery.”

Amanda had no idea what she was doing.
The statement was a figurative one, of course. Amanda was making her way to the lounge car as sneakily as possible, and she felt she was doing a decent job. This was helped by the low number of passengers on the train. Only about six compartments in the first three train cars had people in them. Had they taken ...

They cook the worm over a campfire.
Not all of it, of course. The corpse of the All-Devouring Worm is a mountain of flesh. More than one even. Eating all of it is far beyond their capabilities.
It is also not particularly appetizing. Alas, there are no poor meals for the hungry stomach, and the All-Devouring Worm makes for an exceptionally nutritious one. Its core may have...

Flames illuminate the insides of the All-Devouring Worm.
Despite where they are, neither flesh nor body fluids surround them. There is only rock. Sharp rock. Smooth rock. Grainy rock. Of all shapes. All textures. And all colors. This is the ultimate result of the worm’s eating habits. Numerous rocks smashed and pressed into each other until they became a vast system of caves.<...

“You’re going too, Ammes?”
“Valerie told me about it,” Amanda told Tim. It was early in the morning, and the two were down in the lobby. She shrugged. “She said if I said yes, they could make it an intern activity. Give us a tour of the Romi Town branch.”
Amanda doubted anything else at Regum, no matter how fancy, could compare to...

Patriarch Feng Zhang’s announcement spreads to every corner of the compound and submerges the Eternal Flame Clan in chaos. It takes Liu Jin four days to recover, and by then, the Eternal Flame Clan is a changed place. Information about the Dead Plains has become the most prized of commodities.

“You killed my brother, you vile bi-”
In the blink of an eye, the bandit’s body is encased in a block of ice. It cracks then shatters into a thousand pieces along with his body. The countless shards are scattered to the four winds in a matter of seconds. Tomorrow, the ice will melt, and it will be as if he was never there.

“It seems I will be going to the Dead Plains.”
The words are so plainly spoken it takes a while for Lei Kong’s brain to fully grasp their meaning. It takes some more time to confirm his Lord is not making a joke and more time still to realize he cannot convince his Lord to flee the Eternal Flame Clan and look elsewhere for ways to accomplish his goals.

The Palace of the Storm Dragon is wrong.
Most would not think so. Despite the state of the country, the palace still looks like a place fit for royalty. Long marble halls with black banners lined with gold hanging from the walls. Lushly decorated rooms with priceless antiques. Multiple floors and several adjacent buildings for court officials and servants. It is not as well kept...

The words are like the screeching of metal. Xiao Fang closes his eyes and takes a deep breath that makes his shoulders heave mightily. His hand slowly curls into a fist, which he presses against his forehead. He cannot give into anger. Not right now. Calm is of the essence.

The One Hundred Frozen Peaks are a cold and inhospitable land where vegetation is scarce and dangerous Spirit Beasts dwell. The mountain range is home to some of the tallest mountains on the continent. The Divine Frozen Peak, in particular, reaches so far into the sky it pierces through the sea of clouds. Many are those who try to climb it. Few succeed. Only they can see how the sun p...

Gerald dashed through the corridor, just barely avoiding the hail of bullets fired from the turrets. They were rubber bullets, but those still hurt if you weren’t wearing the proper equipment, which Gerald wasn’t.

Age has not taken much from their father. Unlike Elder Xun, whose hair has long since lost the battle against whiteness, their father’s hair retains its red color. Normally, it would be tied in a topknot, but now it flows freely all the way to his shoulders. His skin only shows the barest presence of age lines amidst unblemished jade.
His golden eyes freeze them in place.

His wounded body lies at his feet.
Drops of his blood seep in between the cracks on the ground. Xun Huwen’s attack had been like countless knives piercing every inch of his flesh with reckless, gleeful abandon. The pain had been so intense, so unbearable, that Liu Jin had lost consciousness. It just so happened that when his mind sought the sweet escape of oblivion, h...
