Chapter 657: Chapter 657 – Calm…
Chapter 657: Calm…
“Towering Palace’s Clear Music has stepped down, and right now, her younger sister, Musical Note has taken the position of palace master . Clear Music has been forced into a corner by Happy . ”
Dream Clouds smiled faintly in the meeting room in the headquarters .
“Even though Mu Clan’s prestige has increased and turned them into the strongest sect in China in all its literal sense, Happy can be considered to have planted a hidden problem for Mu Clan . He actually didn’t seize the chance to completely occupy Towering Palace’s coastal cities in the south . ”
“Heh . ” Blood Robes also had a hint of a cold smile on his face . “Happy is a very troublesome opponent, but when it comes to handling women, he’s not ruthless enough . Ahem, what I mean is, Towering Palace will be filled with hatred for Mu Clan now . Clear Music will definitely be filled with hate as well, and in the future, when the time is ripe, they might become a very troublesome enemy for Mu Clan . ”
Dream Clouds said nothing . Her expression turned slightly calmer, and she nodded . “Perhaps the battle at the summit of Mount Tai will turn into a turning point for Mu Clan . ”
She stopped talking for a moment before narrowing her eyes slightly and saying, “If Happy wins, Mu Clan’s reputation will become even greater . No one will be able to touch Mu Clan’s position as the strongest for at least half a year . But if he loses to One Emperor… Hmph! How’s your progress?”
When she reached the latter half of her sentence, her tone suddenly changed .
“Everything is going smoothly . ” Blood Robes smiled . “It’s a real coincidence . The woman who is taking care of Happy right now shares the same surname as that girl, and they’re calling each other sisters . Their relationship is incredibly good, and she’s often invited to Happy’s place . ”
“Oh . ” A hint of surprise appeared in Dream Clouds’ eyes .
“Is the woman taking care of Happy really pretty?”
“She should be pretty good looking . ”
“Is there any way for Happy to take the initiative to chase away the woman taking care of him and switching to someone by your side?”
“This will be a little difficult . I heard that the woman taking care of him right now is one of the veterans of South China Martial Arts Ranking Board, and she’s a work partner with Happy . I heard that there’s romantic tension between them as well . ”

“Didn’t you say that the person on your side looks pretty good?” Dream Clouds stared at Blood Robes with a strange gaze .
Blood Robes could only smile wanly and explain . “It’s not that I don’t want to use her . I heard from her that there was a conflict between them in the past, and things were not pleasant . Happy has some prejudice against her, and there’s a barrier between them . Even if it were not because of that woman, it’d be impossible for her to get close to Happy . So it’s unlikely to happen…”

“A pity,” Dream Clouds said . She frowned a little and did not say anything else .
“By the way, Dream, we didn’t receive any news about Barren Murderer over this period of time . Where did he go?”
“Persia,” Dream Clouds said without hiding anything, “Did you forget? While we were at Ming Cult, we received a quest item from that side, but the trigger point for that quest was too far away, and I didn’t have any thoughts about it, but Zhou Yu gave me a reminder later on saying that while Persia is a barbaric place, it’s still the birth place of Ming Cult .
“There are countless elites over there, and if Barren Murderer manages to get Heaven and Earth Great Shift or items such as Ming Cult’s Holy Fire Order while he’s there, his strength would increase by a lot . ”
“Persia…”
A hint of joy appeared on Blood Robes’ face .
He still remembered how the Holy Fire Order messengers from Persia had trapped Zhang Wuji and Xie Xun for a long period of time, which was enough to prove that there were some very powerful people outside the country .
Besides, a few sword users with dazzling skills had appeared in Goryeo recently . It was said that they were from Bright Sword Sect and had already entered the Chinese server through the plot of Twin of Brothers .
Along with the people who were skilled at fleeing arts and had long since entered the Chinese server, as well as Abu and the others, who were boxing masters from the southwestern countries, the multitude of great players in the Chinese server gradually began to regard the foreign players with higher value .
*****
The readjustment in Wind and Rain Alliance, the changing of palace masters in Towering Palace, along with the abnormal calm as well as well-behaved attitude from Class One Hall allowed all martial artists to tell that Mu Clan and Happy’s actions had had an effect . Not only had they placated the instability in the south, Towering Palace had also chosen to compromise to the largest extent!

This sort of thing caused Mu Clan and Happy’s prestige to increase by another degree! The Chinese martial artists as well as foreign experts also gained more of an insight toward them .
The world of martial artists returned to peace once more .
But storms still brewed under the surface!
One Emperor, who had gained an epiphany of his sixth sword at the arena during the martial arts tournament in Hero’s Mountain Villa, had vanished without a trace once he obtained second place in the tournament . He did not show up again in the world of martial artists .
No one knew where he went .
But there were countless martial artists who made guesses and said that he was perturbed by the fact that he did not obtain the title of strongest in the world during the tournament because he did not manage to win against Ling Huchong at Dragon Tiger Arena and disappeared to pour his heart and soul into understanding his seventh slash . There were even rumors that he was practicing an even more powerful martial art to prepare for the fight at the summit of Mount Tai .
However, even if One Emperor’s strength did not grow, the last dazzling sword slash he delivered at Dragon Tiger Arena had heavily injured Ling Huchong, which was enough to make countless martial artists look forward to the day he would reappear!
The fight at the summit of Mount Tai would show just who was truly the strongest in the Chinese server and the world!
As time passed, everyone began to look forward to Happy and One Emperor’s eventual duel at the summit of Mount Tai . In fact, there were many people who came to wait beforehand at Mount Tai . They sacrificed their time to practice in order to witness the duel between the two strongest players in the Chinese server!
When there were only three more days left before the final fight, the restaurant at the foot of Mount Tai was filled with people . The cities and sects nearby were also full of martial artists . Only a sea of people could be seen in the area .
*****
But the people did not know that while they were waiting in the area, Happy had been attracted by an unexpected system notification to the mighty clan in the north dozens of miles away .
It was one of the eight aristocratic families! They were a mighty clan that relied on crafting excellent weapons to intimidate the world of martial artists, and they were the best at it! They were rich, had plenty of elites, and connections all over the world . Money and power were in their hands, and it was, frankly, astonishing to behold .
Unfortunately for Happy, while he was giving his all in preparing for the fight at Mount Tai, he received a messenger pigeon from the four abandoned disciples of Sword Sect saying that the repairs for Heaven Crystal were near the end!
And the situation was very delicate…
Even though the Nangong Clan was determined to retrieve their previous clan master’s sword and seize Heaven Crystal to rebuild Nangong Clan’s prestige, the sect master of Sword Sect had also gone through a lot of trouble to secure Heaven Crystal . He personally served as a garrison with a group of elders at the mighty clan in the north to monitor the Sword Creation Lake used to repair Heaven Crystal, and he never let down his guard for even a second .
The strangest thing about this was that during the process of repairing Heaven Crystal, most of the elites of the mighty clan in the north were relocated to the area nearby, as if they sensed the quality and strength from the profound mysteries contained within Heaven Crystal and had grown to desire it .
The three factions of power held their breaths and accumulated their strength while they harbored their own thoughts and waited for the final moment when Heaven Crystal would be completely repaired!

Night Terror
Story is currently 'on hold' for an indefinite period of time - I will eventually post the whole thing when it's complete, see the news post for more details. After dying young, a man reincarnates into a new world as Abe Haruki. 'This whole world is suspicious...' Despite the fact that Haruki had never once met a god, even during his reincarnation, he couldn't help feeling that this world was just too... Intelligently designed? I mean, seriously... Levels? Classes? Stats? Items? You can even level up your abilities! 'Definitely suspicious...' Unfortunately, the Church have been keeping close tabs on him from the shadows. They've heard rumours of a boy, born with a golden ring. With magical affinities that defy logic. Darkness and light energies destroy each other, violently, so how does he have the affinity for both? Can Haruki live his peaceful life along side childhood friend Suzu? Or will they fall to the coming darkness? ::Author's note:: While there are stats and exp etc, it's not LitRPG. They are there, but not the focus in any way. The world is more hardcore - A human is soft, so a pierced lung should eventually kill them. Even though they have a small pool of HP, a single deadly blow can end it all. If you ever want to say G'day, I'm in the discord chat every now and then, so feel free to join the madness ;) Thanks for reading

The Paths of Magick
Credits: Story by Xcaliburnt. Cover Art by @Bervolart. Magick, the power to bend the laws of reality. All because of a mystical substance known as mana. Mages follow the Paths to achieve power, for there is no more addictive chase. Each Path winds and twists, forcing mages through the flames of adversity and challenge. Though the operative word is "path", the reality is far less straightforward. Instead of a road, Paths are like the branches of world trees, erupting into the heavens, intertwining, and ending in sharp snaps. Only the strongest reach the sky. There are several Paths, and many Ways to walk them—variations of the same Path, and like the stars, they are endless. Magick is the sacred flame that scours the fat, rendering the truest self. Superfluous flesh melting away to show the skeleton of one's being. A chance for ascension—apotheosis. Though not every mage works to godhood, if they survive long enough, It is inescapable. Witness the lives of those that tread the knife's edge of self-destruction. Each one intertwined in their search for answers, revenge, and, most of all: power. These individuals have all lost something precious—irreplaceable—and In search of filling the void left behind, they have taken up the mantle of a mage. Per aspera ad astra. Ad mortem vel divinitatis. (Through adversity to the stars. To death or divinity.) There is no consistent release schedule except my consistent inconsistency. Besides, there’s like a thousand pages worth of content, how can—you already read it? Goddamn. Oh, and there is a very long hiatus between volumes as I intend to edit and rewrite a lot. What to Expect: This story is progression fantasy, so expect a healthy dose of training. It's also heavy on slice of life, and it isn't entirely overarching-plot-driven. Expect characters to live their lives, and not always be on some quest to save the world. There's a lot of magic theory and discussion about it in the story. So, if you don't like impromptu lessons on sorcerous theory by traveling monster slayers, this might not be for you. But if you do like it, rejoice! For there is a lot of it. This is also heavy on prose, purple as a bruised eye. I use outdated, uneccesarily collegiate-level terms and play around with the writing style just for the heck of it. I find it fun to wax and wane poetic, and that might grate on you—I don’t plan to change this aspect of the Paths much if at all. Onto the viewer discretion is advised parts: This is grim-dark/ grim-heart. Take the tags seriously. There will be combat scenes that are brutal and horrifying. Fights to the death tend to be. This is a tale about medieval mercenaries (quite literal killers for hire), man-eating monsters, and eldritch gods beyond the material plane. Beside that, there will be traumatic events that are best left unread. I do not detail certain acts I find heinous enough, instead leaving some parts unwritten but still alludded to if not outright stated; there is simply no graphic narration thereof. This is not for the faint of heart.

Re:Stoat
This story is utterly brutal, sick, twisted, and vile. Rape, Murder, Gore, Nature. Elephants rape and murder rhinos... I want to make this story twisted from the start. The world is a viscous and cruel place. My story is going to push limits. Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
