Chapter 768 - Clan Extinction

Sage collected the members of the Purple Mist Sect and used the Red Comet to hurry back to the main battlefield. He was supposed to be a sort of reserve and they had already been on the way underground before he left. Once he arrived back at the entrance to the underground caverns he spotted large numbers of Chong Clansmen flowing in and out of the cave so he flew directly inside and signalled ...

Chapter 767 - Escape

This confrontation might seem to be to the former Fu Matriarch’s advantage, but she didn’t seem to be treating it that way. Inwardly she was extremely nervous. If their escape was discovered the chances of them getting away and starting over somewhere new were drastically reduced. Even if they feel successful later, if someone knew they were still out there, how would they be able to feel s...

Chapter 766 - Disturbance

Sage shot through the sky, simultaneously pouring Qi into the object he was standing on and also into Cosmic Traction, using it in the manner he learned from King. Moving through a little fold in space to avoid air friction and increase his flying speed. The object he was standing on looked like a red canoe at first glance, but anyone who gave it a closer look would see a venation pattern, also...

Chapter 765 - Tilted Scale

The Fu Patriarch was suddenly going up against two Nascent Souls at once, but he didn’t seem to care. In fact the other two were in far more trouble when the Fu Patriarch started running towards them as he did a sort of spin move and released a cloud of poisoned needles from his back. The spin move made him launch the needles in a full spherical cloud, giving no room for the Xiyi or Wa Elder ...

Chapter 764 - Groundbreaking

Just as the old man from the Wa faction was treating the ground like clay because of his great strength, the Chong Clan Matriarch was doing the same but for a different reason. She reached up and grabbed the curved hook of the giant scorpion’s stinger and it flicked her into the air. The earth flew into the air and wrapped around her as she flew, forming into a perfect sphere of stone and col...

Chapter 763 - Attention Getter

One of those three was Fu Xidong, that smoke user that Sage faced off against previously, and he used that smoke to form a stairway, rapidly climbing up it to escape the assault of the Chong Clan Matriarch and her house sized scorpion mount. The other two new Nascent Souls weren’t so lucky and their attempts to escape from the moving walls were unsuccessful. There was a series of loud cracks ...

Chapter 762 - Game

With this somewhat disconnected mindset, would it make the people in his life more like characters in a game and less like real people? This idea was somewhat worrisome, but for those he cared about, he could simply take them into the Inner World or maybe he would just figure out a way to move his consciousness back to how it had been. Either way, it was something to deal with in the future. At...

Chapter 761 - Council Conflict

Sage wasn’t close enough to the main battlefield to hear what was being said, but it was pretty apparent that the Fu Clan was attempting to negotiate with the Chong Clan. The Fu Clan had somewhat pained looks on their faces, likely because of their losses so far as well as the concessions they were offering to the Chong Clan.

It was unfortunate that Nascent Souls were so observant and p...

Chapter 760 - Provincial Governor

The Chong Clan fought its way through the city, pushing towards the center where the large entrance to the subterranean caverns was located. The streets ran with blood, but it only took a few hours for the Chong Clan to take control of Good Fortune City. The other Clans, Sects, and groups in the city had already pledged neutrality or had surrendered to the vicious fellows with centipede masks. ...

Chapter 759 - Advancements

The telescopes were created using the same Transparent Gemsteel he’d develop to use as windows. Sage explained to the researchers a few tidbits of information he’d picked up, how white light was made up of all the colors of light and how the color of an object is related to absorbing all the other colors of light so it only reflected back that one color of light. Then he carefully made a pr...

Chapter 758 - Defenses

The army of Fu Clan Cultivators arrived to bolster the defenses of the eight small fortresses. Most of them ran into the armored pagodas and the barrier around the city immediately strengthened. The many arrow slits all over the pagoda were soon filled with the glint of bits of metal. The Branch Clans recognized what was happening and quickly reordered their lines. The Jie had huge beetles that...

Chapter 757 - Closing In

The aesthetic of the Fu Clan Headquarters turned out to be far different than what Sage had come to recognize as their style. In the past every time he’d seen a Fu Clan member they were dressed up all in black with masks over their faces. Every single one of them followed this convention but the actual style of their clothing and masks were highly individual. To Sage they all looked like shin...

Chapter 756 - War

When the hologram-like image finally resolved, it depicted the Fu Clan’s headquarters from above. It looked very much like the image that a drone circling the area from a few miles out would see. Of course, they didn’t have drones in this world, but they did have tiny spheres that could contain a person’s memories and swords that flew through the air to deliver messages. Even without crea...

Chapter 755 - Startled

All three of the Xie Elders were beautiful women. Two of them looked to be twins, but there was another woman standing behind them that looked exactly the same. These triplets were all level 61, and were the old Elders that Sage first met on the council. One of them had given up her seat at some point and the Great Elder was sitting upon it. This third elder of the Xie had at one time stepped d...

Chapter 754 - Council

The council members had heard a few stories of this sort when they were preparing to return to the outside world, but it was a bit more impactful when told directly by their relatives. Sage had compiled much of the information on the world that he could remember, especially the Clan’s possible enemies and relations, so that the Clan members would know what they were dealing with in the future...

Chapter 753 - Message

Sage went to meet with the messenger immediately after having heard where they were from. The person waiting for him was someone that he felt like he hadn’t met with in a lifetime. She was wearing a hanfu, which was a long robe that overlapped in the front like a kimono might, except it was usually belted very simply with a rope or sash rather than a thick belly band. Additionally, the hanfu ...

Chapter 752 - Real Master

Sage left the Lang Clan tomb and returned to spend the evening having dinner with Ling and Jiao. They could hear the raucous noise of large and boisterous families carried over the night air. The home design for the clan all had their main room connected to their open air courtyards. Others might find this design to impinge upon their privacy, but Sage was quite pleased with how lively it made ...

Chapter 751 - Riches

Yating was an exquisite businessman, like his mother, so Sage expected the new Lang Clan to flourish. The Prosperity Company had also sent many people out of the Inner World to build their numbers, and Ling would definitely be using them to assist the Lang Clan. Sage was quite confident in their skills, so he didn’t feel any conflict over keeping this new influx of wealth to himself. Especial...

Chapter 750 - Prospect

The terror continued to overwhelm him, growing to greater and greater heights. Sage fell down to his knees and was seriously considering begging forgiveness when the strange aura suddenly disappeared.

“Wahaha, nicely done! You resisted pretty decently, but you need to work on that backbone of yours. Seems like you only recently formed it, eh? After I fed that fellow his teeth all those ...

Chapter 749 - Mission

Walking up towards the third dais, Sage remembered he had questions for the Ancestor that were left unanswered. He’d been distracted by the sudden appearance of Guan Zhenyan and even the Soul Clone was busy trying to figure out how to deal with the problem of Zhenyan. It was only now that he finally remembered some of the holes in the past that he now was curious about.

The ancestor on ...

Chapter 748 - Deal

Expecting to be told off, or at the very least hear a barrage of questions, Guan Zhenyan seemed genuinely taken aback by Sage’s question. Wanting to drive home the point, Sage added fuel to this fire, “You let me beat you up so you could hide inside the Universe Ring. You must really be in a difficult situation. We may not be Master and Disciple, but you still bailed me out of a difficult p...

Chapter 747 - Ancestor

Sage was instantly taken aback. Standing in front of him was not a projection, but an actual person. A person that was supposed to be trapped in a jail cell.

“You? How did a slippery piece of feces like you get here?”

Before Sage had come to terms with what he was seeing, the Ancestor had already spoken out. The slippery fellow turned out to be that pseudo master of his, Guan Zh...

Chapter 746 - Seeking Advice

Sage walked across the top of the dais towards the huge stone casket. He couldn’t help but admire the masterful craftsmanship that went into creating the extremely lifelike and highly detailed stone statue on top of the lid. It looked just like a person lying in repose upon a stone slab, but it had the texture of stone. The stone had the same color as a flesh tone might, but he merely commend...

Chapter 745 - Intelligence

While the Fu Clan was trying to gather intelligence upon the Lang Clan, the Lang Clan was rapidly establishing its own intelligence gathering capabilities. Yahui was already quite experienced at building and operating this sort of thing and was many times more capable and skilled at it than Sage had ever been. With Sage and Ling’s help, Yahui took control of the meager intelligence gathering ...

Chapter 744 - Fortress

On the outside, it was a giant wall shaped tree trunk with a very narrow canopy for its size. The lowest branches were a full hundred feet off the ground and those branches had a ‘U’ shape to them so soldiers could use them as a catwalk with thick wooden railing to guard them from incoming projectiles. By using Sacred Banyans instead of stone or other choices, they could incorporate other t...

Chapter 743 - Return

It would be an oversimplification to say they were building a utopia, but the extreme time difference would give them plenty of time to change things. Especially since the Lang Clan had the most powerful organizations in the world as backers. They weren’t just tasked with improving the clan’s signature techniques, but they also had the huge list of research topics that Sage had assembled th...

Chapter 742 - Momentum

Finally, after hundreds of years, Sage could finally say that he had revived the Lang Clan.

At least in his own Inner World. All that was left was returning to the outside world and his promise to the Lang Clan Ancestor would finally be fulfilled. Without the ancestor’s interference, Sage would have stayed as a rampaging monster that would likely have been killed many years ago. That fa...

Chapter 741 - Wargames

Due to Yiming’s enthusiasm, Sage asked Yating to include a new training path into the Lang Clan. Once she mentioned it, he realized it was something he’d once wished for in the past, but had never had anyone to trust at the time. That being the position of commanders for the Dragoons. When he’d first created the Hoplites, he recruited human mercenaries, former bandits, and anyone else he ...

Chapter 740 - New Clan Head

With Sage stepping down from his position, he cleared up a huge amount of time for himself and finally picked up his research efforts in full once again. He still spent time with Ling and Jiao, but after being married for a few hundred years they knew each other so well that they’d started a tradition of spending time apart for a few weeks before meeting up again. They would have enough time ...

Chapter 739 - Three Nations

The three kings were Nascent Soul Mercenaries that Sage had created an agreement with. They were to share the territory, which should spare the world from any massive wars, and were second to only Sage’s own organizations. The Lang Clan, Purple Mist Sect, and the Prosperity Company were the undisputed rulers of the world, but they had no desire to rule the people. At least the Lang Clan in ge...
