320: The Illusion They Walked Into
The moment the bright light faded, the massive stone tablet vanished as though it had never existed at all. No fragments or any dust. No lingering glow. It simply blinked out of existence, and in its place stretched a long, perfectly straight path leading deeper into the silent village.Everyone froze and a few gasped but most stared in disbelief.The path was uncanny, smooth and seemed untouched by dust or time. Even the surrounding air felt different, as if purified.Of course, instead of appreciating the miracle they were witnessing, some people decided to be… themselves.“Tch, she’s acting like she solved some heavenly mystery…”“Is she expecting us to clap? It was just a guess.”“Whatever. Pure heart my foot.”Abigail walked calmly beside Jian, not giving a single crumb of attention to the ungrateful muttering behind her. She had long learned that trying to correct stupidity only made it louder, so she simply tucked a stray hair behind her ear and kept walking.The large group mo
319:The Riddle of the Looping Stone
The six groups marched into the heart of the silent village, their boots thudding on cracked stone, alert for ambush but met by only empty echoes and wind. The ruins looked old, ghostly walls, shattered gates, weeds tangled everywhere. But before anyone could get too deep, they all stopped as one, eyes widening at the same thing.Right at the entrance, carved in stone taller than a wagon, were giant words, “To be Worthy of the Inheritance, you…”And that was it, nothing more. The words trailed off, the rest swallowed by time, leaving only a jagged crack where the sentence should have continued.The whole crowd froze. Someone at the back coughed, the silence stretching. Then, as if on cue, everyone ignored the mysterious stone and started forward, maybe there was a clue deeper inside, maybe the old thing was just for show.But up ahead, the path split into three, each fork leading into dense fog. The six groups spread out, each picking a different road, the air buzzing with anxious sho
318: Meeting
The town stretched out before them, empty streets and faded city. Abigail’s group and the others came to a halt at the edge of the square, boots crunching on gravel as they scanned the horizon. But the emptiness didn’t last long. All around the ruined plaza, figures began to emerge, other sects, other alliances, faces both new and all-too-familiar, each one sizing up the competition like hungry wolves.Five groups had beaten them here or arrived at almost the same time. In a blink, the dusty square was teeming with cultivators, close to a hundred bodies in all. The air turned thick with tension, as if one wrong step would ignite the whole place.No one said a word at first, everyone was just watching, calculating, measuring who had the numbers, who had the power, who’d make the first move.Suddenly, Selene’s face lit up and she waved, her silver hair catching the sunlight. “Over here!” she called. Rina and Luna followed, grinning as a knot of girls in the distance recognized them. Ten
317: The Mad Dance of Four
The men growled, furious, Qi flaring around them, the air between them trembled as Kai rolled his shoulders, his muscles tightening, bones cracking as he decided that play time's over. Then, without another word, they all moved.The first man appeared behind Kai with blinding speed, his movement technique leaving a faint blur of afterimages. His fist glowed with compressed Qi as he aimed for Kai’s spine. But Kai pivoted sharply, his right elbow flashing backward and bang! meeting the punch head-on. The impact cracked the air, dust spiraling around them.“Not bad,” Kai grinned, “but you should’ve stayed home.”He twisted, his knee snapping upward into the man’s ribs. The attacker gasped, stumbling back, blood spurting from his mouth but before Kai could follow through, another cultivator appeared at his flank, his palm glowing white.Kai ducked just as the Qi wave tore through the space above his head, slicing a clean arc through a massive rock behind him. “Alright,” Kai muttered, teet
316: Clash
Kai stood still, shoulders relaxed, the three men before him puffed up their chests like roosters before a fight, their robes fluttering dramatically in the dusty wind. They were the kind of cultivators who thought volume equaled intimidation.“Boy!” the first one barked, his voice booming like a cheap gong. “You don’t know who you’re messing with! We are core disciples of our sect. Step aside before you die a death so painful, your ancestors will feel it!”Kai’s eyebrow twitched.The second one stepped forward, stabbing a finger toward him. “That woman behind you stole from us, a treasure we risked our lives for! Return her and the beast, and maybe we’ll let you crawl away with your limbs attached!”The third snorted and spat to the side. “Look at him. He doesn’t even have a weapon out! Probably one of those brainless muscle types. Kill him, and we’ll take his beast!”Kai stared blankly at them, blinking slowly as they were still talking.“Oh, there’s more?” he muttered under his bre
315: Trust Issues
Kai walked through the strange wasteland grinning like a man who had just robbed Heaven’s pantry. He had entered a new place and it was a little weird. The ground in this place was cracked and dry, yet not quite desert, a few crooked trees stood scattered like survivors of some old war, but not enough to call it a forest either. It wasn’t a savannah, not a canyon, not anything that made sense and Kai hated that.He looked around, squinting at the horizon. “What the hell even is this place… a confused biome?” he muttered, kicking a rock.Still, he didn’t stop. The beast trotted beside him, tail wagging, its little wings occasionally flapping dust into his face. Kai had no destination, no plan, and not a single care in the world. His storage rings were half-filled with shiny, Qi-rich fruits, he was the definition of wealth in this realm. No matter what happened, he wouldn’t starve and neither would his greedy little sidekick, who was now sniffing at the rings like a thief plotting a mi
