“I think you are mistaken, Yemeni!” Wallace began as he laughed shortly.
“Your sister seems to find my company quite refreshing other than you who's doing everything possible to cling to her like a leech!” “What did you just say, you Qi condensation insect?” Yemeni roared while his mother held his hand, afraid that these rich brats would hurt her child she hadn't seen in years. However, he slowly pecked her. “They won't hurt me… I'm not the weak son you used to know in the past” He whispered. “I called you a leech since you badly want to be accepted in her family while your family is out there barely surviving on Qi. Becca doesn't like men like that.” “You’ve spent thousands of top-grade spirit stones to force your way into the Golden Core realm, but we both know the truth because your foundation is so shallow to the extent that you had to stuff it with artificial energy and finally got to the Golden Core stage” “Shut up, you trash!” Yemeni screamed. “You think Becca will be impressed?” Wallace continued “What happens when I tell her that her ‘genius’ brother didn't master anything but simply bought a shortcut? She might even tell your father to... reward you for your honesty.” Wallace replied in sarcasm. Yemeni clenched his fists when he heard that. He couldn't believe that the secret he had been keeping for years just to impress Becca who could take a liking to him was now known by an ordinary person who now talked back at him. “Silence, trash!” Yemeni’s voice cracked. “I am a Core cultivator! I can crush your soul with a thought! I will give you a bag of spirit stones and a few low-tier Qi-gathering pills! Just take them and vanish. My sister is set to be a powerful cultivator and a crow like you shouldn’t bring her down!” “Then tell her to stop seeing this crow!” Wallace replied sharply. However, the latter knew it was not true. Instead of spending time with her brother, she spent it with Wallace instead because she hated him. She'd once confessed to him that everything seemed fishy right from the time she lost her real brother and ever since then, she had considered herself as an only child. However, apart from that, Wallace could see the spiritual activity surrounding Yemeni. Because he had forced his breakthrough, his Qi didn't flow in a smooth cycle but skipped instead. Only then did Wallace shake his head because the dangers associated with what he did would haunt him for the rest of his life very soon. “You should do that! Can't you see that she's not at your level? Very soon, our father will pair her with someone that is far above the golden core stage to create a dual relationship and here you are trying to be the perfect man! You think she will fall in love with you? She only pities your condition and…” “How about you try to impress her sincerely first before you start?” Wallace replied, interrupting him. For some reason, he could also see that Wallace had changed. In the past, even though Wallace used to dodge his fists, he seemed bold and maliciously resentful towards him. Could it be that he knew more of his dirty secrets that he didn't know of? Especially the fact that he had once helped Wallace's bullies get herbs that he thought had crushed him completely? “I know there's still more dirty secrets that you have left but once I lay my hands on them, I'll wipe you off the surface of this universe!” Wallace threatened while his heart skipped. No one had ever talked to him in that manner and he never expected that this lowly trash would do that in centuries to come. Just as he was about to throw his fist at Wallace, the man held his hand firmly and looked at him sternly while Yemeni began feeling a burning sensation in his hand because to others, he had powers but his body wasn't strong enough to hold the power he purchased. “We both know that Becca won't like it when she wakes up and finds out that you were actually trailing her. You know what next to do, step-brother!” Gritting his teeth, he was pissed that this man actually knew him more than he did and no matter how much he thought he had won a place in Becca's heart, Wallace was always a step ahead of him. “You may think you have won, by the time I am back, you will come back crawling at me and by then, you will be at my mercy!” He replied with a fury laced in his voice. “You silly cultivators talk like you are some mini gods while you have barely learnt anything!” Wallace remarked casually. Yemeni froze. Those words... They were written in the Forbidden Records of the Void. His master had once told him of an Ancient Sovereign from another universe… a man named Wallace who had reached the Immortal Ascension stage and looked down upon the heavens with those exact words. How could this ‘trash’ speak the tongue of the Ancients? “Where did you learn that from?” Yemeni demanded, his voice trembling. Was he trying to do more to impress his sister? Didn't they say that only two people aside from the old master at the sect knew about this mystery man? From his understanding, he knew that no one would ever let Wallace know about the book and learn from the powers of this powerful cultivator because he wasn't worthy. In fact, the techniques of this man haven't even been fully understood. How the hell did Wallace find out those words?Latest Chapter
14. The bounty
Yemeni's face fell completely flat. He secretly gritted his teeth in humiliation, realizing just how much of a fool he had made of himself. The throbbing pain in his shattered jaw from the robot's physical blows was nothing compared to the pain of being laughed at by Becca.Turning away from her pathetic brother, Becca looked down at Wallace, her expression softening into a warm smile. “My sincere apologies for whatever you just had to witness, Wallace. How about you come inside so we can talk?”Wallace nodded and followed her into the mansion, secretly wondering if this young lady had already forgotten how chaotic their very last encounter had been.As they walked into the living room, Wallace cleared his throat. “Becca, about what just happened to your brother, I…”“Oh, please!” She dismissed his concern with a wave of her hand as she sank into the nearest couch. “You know how much I despise him. That leech is nothing but trouble. If it weren't for the sudden bottleneck I hit durin
13. AI tech and Yemeni
“And what if I did?”A familiar, mocking voice cut through the corner of the environment. Only then did Wallace turn around, his eyes narrowing as he scoffed.“I knew you would stoop low, Yemeni, but bringing your security men into this? The time you spent orchestrating this could have been used to actually improve your cultivation. What a waste.”Yemeni however sneered as he clenched his fists until his knuckles turned white. He loathed this trash and badly wanted him dead! By all rights, Yemeni was superior in every way… wealth, status, and cultivation realm but looking at Wallace, an uncomfortable thought crossed his mind. It felt as if Wallace possessed some hidden, unfathomable backing that he couldn't quite understand.Desperate to regain the upper hand, Yemeni leaned in with a smirk all over his face. “I see the death of your mother hasn't taken a toll on you yet. Just wait until she’s buried, and then…”“Why? Are you waiting for her to die because you desperately hope that
12. Yemeni's cunning actions
“Mother…” Wallace muttered in horror the moment he sighed his mother whose body had almost turned dark within a few hours of the attack. Yet, he knew he had to do everything to save her just for the sake of the Old Wallace. “Wallace…. I told you not to bother…” she said, holding him warmly as she coughed slightly, knowing fully well that her soul was almost slipping off her body. Wallace however walked away from her, hurriedly mixing the herbs with water. Just as he was done, he hurriedly forced her to drink it. He knew how much of a miracle it was for her to stay alive up till that moment even though he could not identify the actual poison. “There's something important I need to let you know,” she said after a while. “Those debt collectors that came the other day still have head bosses. In fact, they are still coming…” She muttered while Wallace smiled. He could see that even though she was no longer a Primordial Spirit-Mother, the herbs recognized the body and kind of sharpene
11. The prey
Chapter 11Half an hour later, Wallace arrived at his detached apartment. He paused, his eyes narrowing at the black Lexus parked directly opposite his gate.The owner had clearly been waiting for some time. In this neighborhood, the kind of car stood awkward because of how much of a high profile both the car and the person was as she leaned against it. “Wally!” She called out the moment she spotted him. Only then did Wallace stop because of how familiar the voice seemed to be. He stifled a scoff. Sally was his cousin, the daughter of the man who had conspired to betray Wallace’s mother. After his father had stripped his mother of her primordial essence, he had funneled those stolen resources into Sally’s training, turning her into the "genius" she was today.He couldn't believe how gullible the "old" Wallace had been by treating these vipers like family. He looked down at the faint scar on his lower arm that reminded him of the time he had taken a fall to save her life.“I know yo
10. Red-eyed gang
Half an hour later, Wallace walked out of the forest in a hurry with a full sack of leaves hanging on his back. He was only a few miles from home when the atmosphere shifted. From the shadows of the road emerged a pack of cultivators with eyes like glowing embers known as the "Red-Eyed Gang."It was a strange sight, yet a familiar one. These were the students of his former sect, students cast out for dark misconduct long before he became a student. Now, they were little more than lapdogs for evil cultivators. In his memory, Wallace saw them clearly: they were the ones who had relentlessly targeted him, held back only by Becca’s protection. They had expected his story to end in the gutter, just like theirs.Yet, on seeing that he came out of the forest they dared not enter with a bag of herbs, their shock tripled and now, what they wanted was more than what they thought initially. Wallace offered a weary sigh and tried to step past. A hand clamped onto his shoulder, jerking him back
9. The forest
A few minutes later, Wallace found his way into the inner core of the forest, with each herb calling for his attention. However, using his knowledge as a powerful past cultivator, he knew that most of these plants were poisonous despite their attractive appearance. Only then did he stumble across specimens he never thought he would see in this universe: Sky-anchor Vine, Cicada Petal, and Star-plucking Grass. Together, they represented the bone, blood, and breath required to rebuild the broken bridges to the heavens and soften his withered tissues.“My goodness!” he exclaimed in shock. With these herbs and a few wisps of ambient energy, the body he was stuck in was primed to break through to the next stage of Qi.He quickly gathered them and prepared to move to the next section of the dark forest. Suddenly, he screamed in agony, dropping the leaves as he collapsed. Before he could realize what was happening, an Emerald Glint Serpent coiled around him, constricting so tightly that he
