336: The One Statue That Refused to Behave
Abigail hardly had time to protest before the strange force wrapped around her whole body, tugging with a quiet insistence that made resistance completely pointless. It didn’t drag her, no, that would’ve made sense. Instead, it guided her gently, almost politely, like an invisible elder pushing a child toward a destiny she didn’t ask for. Her feet moved in steady, unhurried steps, ignoring every attempt she made to stop or turn away. Even when she tried to plant her heels into the ground, they slid forward like the floor had suddenly turned into smooth ice.She tried harder to stop... nothing happened.She tried to step left... her foot stubbornly went right.She tried to turn back... her entire body ignored her.“…Okay, this is getting creepy,” she muttered under her breath, but no one heard her.She felt every gaze on her as she walked, the remaining disciples frozen in disbelief. They watched her bypass dozens of glowing statues without so much as a glance, her body heading in a st
335: The Choosing Begins
The moment the axe-wielding boy vanished, the plaza exploded into chaos.People stumbled backward, tripping over their own feet, some cussing, some screaming, some trying to act brave even though their legs were shaking so hard it was basically tap-dancing.“What the...! He disappeared!”“Where did he go!?”“Is he dead? He better not be dead!”“Shut up! If he was dead, the statue wouldn’t glow like that!”“I’m never touching anything again...ever!”But before the panic could escalate further...FWOOMP.A giant illusionary screen formed in the sky, shimmering into existence like a veil being pulled back.Gasps echoed across the plaza because on that screen, the boy was alive... alive and training like a man possessed.He was standing inside a vast stone hall, sweat dripping down his chin as he swung his axe over and over. The illusionary elder he chose stood behind him, hands clasped behind his back, shouting corrections at him with absolute authority.“Straighten your spine!”“Your gri
334: The Statues Awaken
The Qi slammed into the nearest statues, CLAAAAANG!!!A deafening metallic sound rang out, the axe blade detached from the handle and fell uselessly to the ground, shattered at the edge.The massive Qi slash that should’ve cut mountains in half dissolved the moment it touched the statues.Not a dent, crack or even a scratch.Nothing, absolute nothing, it was like attacking a mountain of iron with a paper sword.Silence slammed over the plaza and everyone stared.Eyes wide, mouths open and souls shaking.One disciple finally whispered,“…We are going to die here.”Another corrected him shakily, “No. We’re already dead. This is the afterlife.”The plaza was still ringing from that metallic, bone-deep CLAAAAAANG when the next impossible thing happened.The shattered axe head lay useless on the ground. The Qi slash, which should’ve carved mountains, had dissolved like water against steel. And the statues, those towering, ancient giants stood untouched, unchanged, and unbothered.Every dis
333: The Valley Statues.
Everyone stayed tense, shoulders tight and breaths shallow as they walked further down the ancient road. After what happened with the illusion earlier, no one dared take a single step lightly. The slightest swirl of wind made people jump.The tension around Abigail’s group was so thick it felt like walking through fog made of nerves. Everyone moved slowly, carefully, eyes darting around as if an illusion would jump at them from behind a pebble. Every step sounded too loud, every breath felt like a risk at the memory of being trapped in someone else’s illusion, someone impossibly powerful was still fresh enough to choke them.But minute after minute passed.Nothing happened.No sudden shift of scenery.No mysterious hall.No throne.No ancient figure staring into their souls.Just… a quiet, and empty path.It took nearly fifteen minutes for reality to sink in.Someone coughed awkwardly. Another shifted uncomfortably and then a disciple finally muttered the truth everyone was too embarr
323: The Unwanted Companion and the Lava Quest
Kai trudged forward with the kind of irritated patience only a man who’d been in too many fights and too many stupid situations could have. On his left, the winged baby beast hopped happily, occasionally bumping its head against his leg like an overgrown puppy. On his right… the problem.The woman.The same woman who had cried, begged, and thrown herself at his feet earlier… now walked behind him like a calm, determined shadow.She refused to leave and the beast, that traitor that it was, had decided he liked her, nudging her hand every two minutes like she was his new best friend.Kai had tried chasing her away. Twice or maybe more than that but the beast purr-growled at him at those times like its saying she stays or we fight, daddy.So here they were, Kai, the greedy beast, and one very stubborn lady who apparently had no sense of danger.He pulled out the map the Grand Elder gave him. The moment the parchment lit faintly, Kai exhaled in relief.“Finally,” he muttered. “I’m back on
322: Return to the Unknown
The world snapped back into place so abruptly that half the cultivators stumbled forward, blinking wildly as they found themselves standing once again before the stone tablet. No glowing hall, no throne, no suffocating pressure pressing their souls flat, only the quiet, empty village entrance.For a heartbeat, no one spoke.Then a wave of trembling relief rippled through all six groups at once, the tension breaking like a dam. Some dropped to their knees, gasping. Some clutched their chests and others simply stared around in disbelief.“We’re alive...?”“Wait… he didn’t kill us?”“This doesn’t make sense. That kind of power... who spares ants?”Their whispers spiraled into bizarre, desperate logic as they tried to understand how a being that strong had chosen to do nothing to them.One disciple muttered shakily, “Maybe he has a good heart.”Someone beside him snorted. “No. We’re too insignificant. He probably didn’t even see us.”“That’s worse!”Another piped up confidently, “He spare
