Chapter 125

“The moment you withdraw the Heavenly Merit on your body, you’ll attract the ire of the Universal Will. Do you understand what that means? Its appearance will force you to ascend.”

Annoyance tightened around Xia Lihua’s heart as she looked at Ji Xian, frustration simmering at his reckless request— one made without the slightest regard for the potentially disastrous consequences....

“Hey Grandpa, considering I just helped you deal with your enemies, why not return the favor and divine my future?”

“Hm?”

The Great Ancestor blinked, visibly caught off guard by Ji Xian’s unexpected request.

After a moment’s hesitation, he spoke, his tone still gentle but laced with caution and unwillingness. “My young friend, are you certain that this is what yo...

Chapter 123

Ji Xian and Xia Lihua were lost in their own world, seeing only each other in their eyes. Despite having a crowd staring in awe behind them, the couple remained engrossed in their private conversation. It was only when the Great Ancestor approached the two that they finally stopped and looked over.

The bindings over the old man’s eyes were soaked in blood, his face deathly pale as he fl...

Chapter 122

         The golden sparkles of light inside these two beads are Heavenly Merit, but something about them is different,” said Xia Lihua thoughtfully.

          She continued, “Compared to the strand of Heavenly Merit you extracted from the bead refined from the Graha, these are much smaller....

Chapter 121

          Xia Lihua followed Ji Xian’s gaze, her piercing eyes locking onto the distant direction of the Amber Soul Kingdom.

          “The Graha from the Upper World…” she murmured, immediately understanding the meaning behind Ji Xian’s words.

     ...

Chapter 120

          Xia Lihua was quietly moved by Ji Xian’s words. It was true—though they hadn’t yet reached the realm of divinity, they were already preoccupied with matters far beyond their current understanding. She couldn’t recall exactly when it began, but at some point, her conversations with Ji Xian had reached a depth she never thought p...

Chapter 119

Ji Xian smartly decided to ignore Xia Lihua.

Shaking his head, his attention returned to the company of the Grahas. With not much else to say to them, he performed a single hand sign, further tightening their spatial prison.

Then, Ji Xian raised his arm high into the air with his index finger pointing upward. A mysterious energy began to form above it. It was warm yet shapeless; the...

Chapter 118

The several hundred Grahas were forcibly held in place by Ji Xian, regardless of their cultivation, whether they were in the Crystal realm or the Holy realm. From Yatong to Bohai, Yahui and Yazhu, down to the most unremarkable among them— no one was spared.

Ji Xian slowly relaxed his hand and dropped his arm, yet the spatial compression on the Grahas remained.

He showed indifferen...

Chapter 117

Ji Xian smirked as his gaze fell on the two figures.

“Hey, hey, look who it is— if it isn’t my two favorite brothers,” he remarked with a tone of playful mockery, even waving at them as well.

Ji Xian had naturally already seen Yahui and Yazhu the moment he arrived at the Arcane Mountain. He just felt no need to address them. Besides, he was wondering how long it would take f...

Chapter 116

Xia Lihua shook her head. Ji Xian’s silence was an answer in and of itself. Was she angry? No. Was she disappointed? Of course, not.

Unlike Xiao Yueyin, who seemed to place certain expectations on Ji Xian to do the right thing, she held none— at least, not anymore. By now, how could she not understand what kind of person he was? Her feelings for him never clouded her judgment. Ji Xian...

Chapter 115

Ji Xian cast Dong Zongying a few brief glances before looking away. He had seen all he needed to see regarding her usage of Ethereal Blight. Truly, he couldn’t help but find the world miraculous. As someone who possibly transmigrated to this realm of cultivation and possessed the simulation, he considered himself an abnormality, but upon witnessing Dong Zongying’s Ethereal Blight, it appear...

Chapter 114

An old husband and wife stood in front of their mud house on a small island in the Arcane Region. Many other mortals like them were evacuated long ago, but they have chosen to stay. At their age, how much time could they possibly have left? They were already in their eighties and even though this number was considered nothing to cultivators, they had lived long enough and had seen enough— esp...

Chapter 113

Ji Xian indifferently held Xiao Yueyin, his grip firm around her tender neck. Her words did little to affect him. The fault she had accused him of, he was guilty of it, but there was no remorse in his heart. She should be well aware of what kind of person he is by now, and though she had cursed him, he knew it was only out of her frustration.

He was letting her release her resentment, yet...

Xiao Yueyin

The second dragon.

Xia Lihua

Had a bit of free time and I wanted to share what the main female lead looks like in my head

Chapter 112

Xiao Yueyin’s fist came within mere centimeters of striking Ji Xian’s face. Just as the blow was about to connect, he took a measured step back, effortlessly evading not only her punch but also the razor-sharp spikes protruding from her forearm. Yet, her assault didn’t end there. The moment her attack missed, Xiao Yueyin spun on her heel in mid-air, her elbow slashing toward him with dead...

Chapter 111

Ji Xian rose slowly to his feet, extending a hand to help Xia Lihua up along the way. With their bodies and faces nearly touching, they silently stared into each other’s eyes for a moment before breaking out into sweet smiles. Never had their goals been so clear. Though it seemed like such a simple thing, how many people can say they knew exactly what their heart yearned for and the path to a...

Chapter 110

As Xia Lihua opened her eyes, two silver rays pierced through the shrouding darkness, their resplendence overshadowing even the celestial bodies above.

Upon ending her cultivation, she immediately noticed the flashing glow on the horizon and Xiao Yueyin standing nearby. She spared them only a fleeting glance before shifting her focus to her hands, which she raised in front of her.<...

Chapter 109

The mysterious island made its arrival beside the Amber Soul Kingdom.

Hong Tian’s heart raced, her breath quickening as the feeling of familiarity grew stronger.

Quietly, she muttered, “Uncle? Is that you?”

From within the forest of the mysterious island, a massive, four-legged creature walked out, making its first appearance in who knows how long. I...

Chapter 108

“General Fuhai, Lord Di Han— it has been a while,” Di Han greeted them with a warm smile.

His appearance didn’t garner much of a reaction from the Grahas, but they all recognized him. A Nether turned Graha, his name and talent were widely known, just like all those similar to him. Yet, they were not impressed. He was part of the handful from the Upper World who were sent do...

Chapter 107

The soul attack flew at incredible speed, slicing through the air with extreme might.

A black axe appeared in Fuhai’s hand, and he sent forth his own misty cannon, hoping to neutralize the black and red fog beam. Unfortunately, inwardly, he knew it was too late. His mouth lightly pursed as he could already envision the inevitable fallout between the Fey and the Graha should anyth...

Chapter 106

“Wait a minute— what did she just say?”

“A princess of Fey?”

“Is this a joke? What’s a Fey doing down here?”

“That fire… that’s no ordinary flame. It’s infused with the Binate Genesis of the Duality Hound tribe.”

“She’s not just any Fey— she’s from the Noble Beast Lineage!”

The Grahas and...

Chapter 105

Hong Tian had never felt so captivated. She was unlike the others from the Upper World— though she was from above, her origins lay in a realm beyond it. In that realm, she and her people, the Feys, knew only of death. Isolated and bound by their duties, they were the only ones left of the four supreme races to remain in that place, and news of the outside rarely reached them.

Hon...

SOTS - Chapter 1

Yi Ming sat on thick grass, his legs were stretched while his back was pressed against a wide tree— his head lowered, his eyes closed, and his breathing was barely perceptible. Both his hands and clothes were dyed red, still wet from blood. His appearance was miserable like he was on his last leg, but truthfully, he was merely sleeping— resting after his long departure from White Wind City....

SOTS - Prologue 1&2

Shadow of the Sun

Yi Ming stood by the open window, concentrating on the beautiful city before him. The sun was barely peeking above the horizon and the air was still cool from the morning dew, a soft mist blanketed White Wind City, and it was particularly peaceful at the moment.

“Today is the day…” he muttered, a trace of melancholy flickering across h...

Chapter 104

“What!?”

General Fuhai’s words made everyone’s hearts skip a beat. How could they have failed to notice someone’s presence so close by? The area they had descended upon wasn’t large— if anyone had been nearby, they should have sensed them immediately. They were all Chosens of the Graha race, born and raised in the Upper World, each extraordinary in their own right. An...

Chapter 103

While the Arcane Mountain was occupied by Yatong and his army, the rest of the Mortal Desolate World was rushing to the most secluded part of the planet, the Amber Soul Kingdom.

It was situated on a humble land mass that was even smaller than Solitude City.

Amidst its now dilapidated walls and ruined buildings. It was impossible to discern any of the magnificence that it once held. ...

Chapter 102

In the vast world of Mortal Desolate, this island wasn’t anything special, just a dime a dozen, but there was something particularly odd about it that was difficult to put into words.

In the far distance, flocks of frightened avians were dotting the vast sky, frantically trying to escape the chaos coming from the Arcane Mountain. Even though the battle was very far away, flashes of lig...

Chapter 101

Her expression at the moment was rather blank. Before the Great Ancestor left, he had looked at her with a warm smile and sent her a message through the use of his spiritual sense.

Zongying, to be honest, I have no idea how this war will end. While we Seers can briefly glance into the future, you should already know that the future is ever-changing. Our visions are simply not reliable...
