Chapter 291
An endless expanse of darkness existed in front of Zhang. Where there should’ve been a ring of light, held by a brilliant tree connecting him and Shi Lua, there was now a burning stump, and the shattered remnants of his core as it had split in two.Gu and Qi swirled in endless swirls in front of Zhang, the two energies colliding and threatening to break his spirit apart.Zhang looked at the turmoil in his spirit, his cultivation on the brink of collapsing again. Yet, somehow, he felt no worry, or fear.“Sii!” Shi Lua exclaimed. Zhang glanced back at the spirit. Her body burned in parts, embers eating through her leaves. She was not spared from the tribulation either.Yet, instead of any pain and anguish, he saw relief in her eyes. A sentiment he echoed. Their spirit finally felt free. Free of the false ties that had been imposed upon them, and liberated by the truth of the world.Change was painful, and it was difficult. But change brought new life, and growth. This was growth. A chan

The moon shone with a pale white glimmer set against the starry tapestry of the clear night sky. As the tribulation clouds had cleared and the storms had passed, the world had opened further, distant stars bathing the world in a gentle, soothing light.As the day had passed, the chaos had settled down a hint. The Old Man had healed Zhang’s external wounds, bringing the boy back to a healthy condition physically.I had remained in the chamber with Flee, Yin and Yan Yun by my side as we all waited for Zhang to wake up. Zhou Fang had gone to tend to his father, before returning to his duties. The Old Man, too, had decided to help out and return to his tasks.There was nothing to be done but to wait.I glanced towards Zhang, sensing the stirring energies within him. The boy’s face was calm, his hair gently flowing down his back as he lay upon the bed, the very picture of calm and peace.The stillness concerned me, dredging up a fear in my chest that perhaps I’d gone too far. That I’d trie

My head snapped towards Zhang as I stood from my seat, walking closer. Chi stirred in the boy’s core, a familiar yet unfamiliar energy arranged in a dispersed cloud spread around the dantian.With a flutter of his eyelids, Zhang slowly opened his eyes, and I noticed the dark purple color they’d taken on, with sprinkles of stars and golden light scattered across them.“Yin, quickly get the Old Man,” I said, pressing my palm on Zhang’s abdomen as I felt the burning light flowing outwards from within.Slowly, the boy rose, picking himself up. “How long was I asleep?” Zhang asked.“About a day,” I replied, my voice breaking momentarily with a chuckle.Zhang nodded, pulling himself to his feet, before he pressed his fist into his palm, bowing his head deeply.“Brother Jie. I thank you for your guidance. I am once again in your debt, for all that you’ve done for me.”I looked at the boy, before patting his shoulder once. “Raise your head, Zhang,” I said, and Zhang looked up.“Is that how yo

The journey back home was swift, the grass fields whirring past us as our carriage rushed through at high speeds. Within a few minutes, we were in Taizhou, and I watched the villagers pausing in their day to day work as they watched the carriage roll in.Opening the gates, I stepped out, and found a strong earthy smell filling the air. The ground was wet from the storm caused by the tribulation, and I could see signs of water overflowing in parts from the nearby river.The village head rushed out of his home, before grabbing Yin. “Heaven’s mercy, I had been terrified when I’d seen that tribulation at the Lord’s manor. Such a terrible storm too. Are you alright Yin’er?”“Y-yes,” Yin replied, shuffling as her father hugged her in a rare display of open emotion.“Welcome back,” Granny Lang said, her cane hitting the ground in a rhythmic thud, as she walked out with a smoking pipe in her mouth. “You sure went and caused a ruckus didn’t you boy?”I bowed my head, pressing my fist into my p

"He’s been injured, and fell unconscious, and I didn’t know what to do, you see. So I went and brought it a little something to eat from the village, snuck in and out so no one would smell all the miasma on me. Then this guy just perked right up and has been whining every time I try to leave. A couple of beasts also tried to attack it and I had to separate the fights and, given how bad the storm was at the time, I figured I would spend the night here, to make sure he doesn’t die,” Su Lin said, looking back at the giant wolf. “I know how this looks. Heavens, I still don’t believe I’m taking care of a demonic beast of all things, but it felt a bit weird to just leave it to die. And it kept giving me these pitiful eyes. I blame ya for making me get so used to bizarre things like this.”I stared at Su Lin, before my gaze went to the Wolf. I finally noticed the many, many scars and wounds it carried on its body. It was injured, and quite heavily so.Slowly I walked closer, and the wolf gro

The world looked different when I opened my eyes again. Colors were muted, more washed out, like someone had wrung them out of reality itself. Miasma roiled all around me, rocky terrains covering my entire sight.Where am I?The thought barely registered in my mind. Like a dream, my memories and my identity changed. I walked, not on two legs, but four. It was a strange feeling, but the strangeness of it passed soon. I’d walked on four legs since my birth in this dream world, after all.Flames swirled around me, coating my body as I looked upwards. Giant pillars rose upwards, holding the sky above my head. I watched the twinkling night sky and stars, before the human half of my mind realized something.That wasn’t the sky.No, it was a cavern, one so tall and vast, with twinkling, glowing shimmers that I could call it nothing but the sky. For that was what it was, in this place beneath the earth, in the depths of where all the energy of death lingered.I rustled, shaking my body once,

Having killed the demon, I lunged at the next one striking at me. I bit its blade, pulling back as before, grabbing the handle with my mouth. Rushing ahead, I let the weapon slice through the demon’s body, before I threw it. The blade swung, before slicing another demon’s head in half.I howled, victorious, before I let my flames take over. Fire erupted all around me, pillars of dark flames that killed any in their path. The demons ran, but the flames were faster, eating through their bodies and souls as they turned to ash, returning to the earth they had come from.I soaked in their miasma, growing stronger still as I charged ahead.The last of my kin fell, their dying howls now quiet. I did not care. They had fulfilled their purpose, and soon I would too.My claws slashed through a demon’s gut, and I did not spare another moment on it, rushing ahead. I knew it would die soon.My teeth tore through another’s leg, before I bit at its gut, burning through its insides in moments. Arrows

I turned to look at the Gu-wolf, watching it sit there and look back at me. This world was strange to him, new, but I had promised I would provide him a home.But first, I needed a name.“I’ll name you Ash,” I said, brushing the wolf’s fur. The giant creature rumbled, as if pleased, and I smiled.“Now, I think I know a place you will like,” I said, standing up. “Zhang, keep an eye on the mine. Don’t let anyone enter.”The boy nodded, walking back as he stood guard at the entrance.Walking further into the cave, I had Ash and Su Lin follow behind me. The mines had changed since the last time I’d walked this far in, but the layout was still similar enough that I could find my way around. Eventually, I managed to reach the cavern where I had first met Ren.The lake inside had dried, now devoid of all the water Qi Ren had provided it with. No plants or blood root could be found either, but even now, a little Gu remained in this place.I saw Ash sniff the air, sensing the presence I felt.

Yan Yun felt troubled. Ever since she had learned the damning truth of the very heavens, her spirit had been shaken. She paced around her room, unable to settle down. An order in death? A broken cycle? The words still did not feel real to her. But the heavy rumbling in her spirit told her that it was, that the words she had heard were the truth. A truth so great, they formed a fundamental aspect of the world she lived in.But then, what did this mean? That the true path was to be a demonic cultivator? To accept miasma and death? It was an odd thought, and even now she could only feel revulsion at the vile sensation that Gu created within her.“Why is Yan Yun so restless?” Leiyu asked from her spirit.“Because my Path feels like it has been a lie,” Yan Yun said, taking a seat at her bed. “All of our Paths feel like a lie. Everything we have been taught is wrong. Everything everyone knows is wrong, the entire empire was established on a lie. How could I be fine after learning that?”“Yo

I opened my eyes to find the world was different around me. Standing up from where I was, I watched the purple grass swaying around me. Yet there was more life in them than there had been before. No longer could I truly call them demonic spirit herbs, as they were part of a greater cycle now.I glanced back, and saw Ash sleeping comfortably. His wounds healed quickly now, and I had no doubts he would be fully recovered soon.“Yuan… is that you?” Su Lin’s voice called out, hesitant. I turned to look at the boy staring at me in a mix of confusion and fear that I could not understand. “Just what happened? There was this bright light, a flash of something and then… you changed.”At Su Lin’s words, I looked down and noticed some new changes had arrived within my body. My hair-band had fallen off, letting my hair flow as it reached down all the way below my waist, having grown significantly longer. My skin looked pale, as if it had been formed anew. There was a new awareness around me, and
