Chapter 242: It’s Time To Show You How Powerful Your Grandpa Is.
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
On the same day at the Azure Ville.
Nighttime arrived, engulfing the entire Azure Ville in darkness.
From the sky, the moonlight shone from above, illuminating the Azure Ville in a cooling glow.
Gu Changqing and Gu Yuan were standing at Azure Ville looking up at the full moon. They frowned, looking concerned.
Gu Yuan let out a long sigh. “I wonder how’s our Sect Master?”
Gu Changqing asked, “Grandpa, who’s that Sect Master of the Heavenly Water Sect?”
“Her name’s Ding Xiaozhu, a good friend of your Sect Master in the Immortal Land. I heard that when your Sect Master first Immortalized, he was new to the area. Luckily, she was there to help him.”
Gu Yuan halted and seemed hesitant. He said, “However, the two of them had some miscommunication and things ended between them.”
Gu Changqing’s eyes lit up, interested in the gossip. “What kind of miscommunication?”
Gu Yuan shook his head. “I can’t tell you. Only a few people know about this. I also heard about it from an elder of the Azure Ville. I promised not to tell anyone.”
Gu Changqing said instantly, “Grandpa, there’re only the two of us here, and I’m your Grandson! What’s there to hide? I promise I won’t tell anyone!”
Gu Yuan frowned and said hopelessly, “Whatever. I’ll just tell you and you alone. This is an embarrassing incident of your Sect Master, don’t spread it.”

“Grandpa, don’t worry.” Gu Changqing was waiting to listen.
“Our Sect Master was good in everything, but he liked growing Goblins. The more exquisite the better. However, you have to know that growing Goblins was energy-consuming. Furthermore, most of the exquisite Goblins have high bloodlines. So, along with how our Sect Master spoiled them, they were very arrogant.”

Gu Yuan’s face was looking quite strange. He continued, “There was a phoenix that your Sect Master treasured very much. Not only did he keep it inside his house, he almost worshipped it. He stopped cultivating and gave it all his treasures. Do you think anyone would be able to take it? On top of that, this phoenix would point its finger at Ding Xiaozhu and boss her around.”

“Then?” Gu Changqing could not help asking.
“Then, of course, it turned into soup.” Gu Yuan sighed and continued, “Ding Xiaozhu was already angry. Yet, the phoenix was still doing that to her! How daring!”

“I see,” Gu Changqing nodded.
He did not have to say what happened next. The Sect Master’s love bird had turned into a bowl of soup. Of course, he was unhappy about it.
Gu Yuan sighed, “The only person who could get our Sect Master to give up his love for birds is the expert.”
Gu Changqing was slightly concerned. “I wonder how Senior Ding’s doing.”
“I’m not sure. Shouldn’t be too life-threatening.” Gu Yuan sighed. “The Lord Immortal came here to look for the Sect Master. It must be related to the expert. They shouldn’t be fighting.”
Gu Changqing asked, “If Sect Master doesn’t cooperate, would he agitate the Lord Immortal?”
“A Lord Immortal wouldn’t be foolish enough to offend someone who has an expert supporting him. Anyone with a brain wouldn’t do so.” Gu Yuan smiled. “The so-called fighting is merely an interactive greeting, to check out the ability of the opponent. If not, we won’t be able to know how we’re going to die. At least for now, we’re people with an expert on our backs.”
“Hopefully our Sect Master succeeds.” Gu Changqing went silent. He then continued, “The demons seem to have stopped moving around recently.”
Gu Yuan smiled coldly. “The reason they were able to spread so quickly was due to the plague and that we were underprepared. Now that both the ordinary men and cultivators have reacted, of course, they wouldn’t be how they used to be.”
Gu Changqing said with admiration in his tone, “Yeah, no wonder the expert appointed a Human Sovereign. The setting was astonishing.”
“The expert doesn’t like demons, and thus, this is the outcome for the demons!” Gu Yuan smiled coldly. Swiftly after, he then said, “However, the halting of their activities could also mean they’re plotting something. We have to be careful.”
Ring!

Just as he finished the sentence, the bell hanging outside the Azure Ville was ringing loudly and vigorously. It was sharp to the ears under the night sky.
Gu Yuan and Gu Changqing’s faces sank. “We were just talking about the rats. Here they come!”
Swash!
In the darkness, countless black shadows darted into the Azure Ville. Their target was very obvious—it was the sealing spot.
This bunch of demons had no intention to stay hidden. Their speed was fast as they exuded black smoke all over the place, making the Azure Ville darker and more eerie than usual.
“How dare you!” Gu Yuan scoffed and raised his leg. His figure appeared at the heart of the seal. His face was dark as he made a wave. Instantly, flames washed in like seawater coming in from all directions. Instantly, the black smoke evaporated as light shone in the dark sky.
Under the bright red flames, 20 demons appeared mid-air. They all had black robes on and were covering their faces, exuding the air of the Combination realm from their bodies.
“Just a few of you and you’re trying to barge into my Azure Ville?” Gu Yuan did not want to waste any word on them. He raised a finger and instantly, one of the pillars turned into a flaming long dragon flying in the air, rushing toward the demons.
The strong heat twisted in the air. Although one could not clearly see the demons’ faces, one could feel their fear and uneasiness from within. They were unable to fight back.
They were unable to fight against an attack from the Immortal.
“Huh? An Immortal came down to the Azure Ville?”
In the air, a sound rang. Swiftly after, layers of black smoke rose from below their demon feet. The black smoke started swirling, rising in layers before it transformed into a black bell that trapped the demons inside.

Sizz…
The flame and the black bell crashed into each other, burning one another as black smoke rose in the sky.
Gu Yuan was casting the spell, turning more of the pillars into flames. Below him, a sea of flames rose. He then looked at the air and asked with a serious tone, “Demon servant, are you Amon or Backo?”
A tall figure in black armor marched out. “Since an Immortal’s here, it’s going to be rather challenging. I’m Backo.”
Meanwhile, rays of light arose from the Azure Ville and surrounded it. A hundred or so disciples started to panic. They looked at the demons with caution.
Gu Changqing came to the side of Gu Yuan. He said, “Grandpa.”
“Don’t panic. I’m here.” Gu Yuan’s face remained calm. His tone had a hint of arrogance as he said, “Today, it’s finally time to show you how powerful your Grandpa is! I’ll show you how a man can be old and strong!
“Don’t get in the way of the battle between the Immortals, just keep an eye on the seal. Be cautious of the twenty combination realm demons, don’t let them ruin the seal!”
“Don’t worry, Grandpa. Leave it to me,” Gu Changqing nodded seriously. He then said, “Actually, I can be old and strong, too…”
“You’re Backo, right? Since you came, why don’t you stay!” There was a chilling glare in Gu Yuan’s eyes. He raised his palms and instantly, the black patch of soil on the seal suddenly burst into flames. Swiftly after, a small red flag gradually rose from the heart of the land, swaying in the air while exuding a soft glow.
It was the Fire Flag.
The flaming soil and the flaming pillars were matching and complementing one another. Instantly, it had been transformed into a flaming world. Looking from afar, the ocean of flames had turned into the head of a dragon, opening its mouth wide and roaring.
The bunch of demons was inside the mouth of the dragon!
The flame had overwhelmed the darkness.
The high heat had turned the place into a furnace made to incinerate the demons.
Gu Yuan stood at the heart of the ocean of flames. His aged look had vanished. His Immortal Qi increased as if he was a battling God!

The Oresteia (Modernized)
All three of the great Greek Tragedians have written plays about the bloody chain of murder and revenge within the royal family of Argos. Yet theirs is in fact not a story of tragedy, but rather one of redemption. As they move from darkness to light, from rage to self-governance, from primitive ritual to civilized institution, their spirit of struggle and regeneration becomes an everlasting song of celebration to be heard throughout the ages. Forming a discourse set against the emergence of Athenian democracy out of a period of chaos and destruction, the Orestian plays are compelling stories of the tensions between our obligations to our families and the laws that bind us together as a society. In the beginning, we witness how a king’s decision to sacrifice his daughter and turn the tide of war inflicts lasting damage on his family, culminating in a terrible act of retribution. In the aftermath of regicide, we behold how a son must set out to avenge his father’s death by committing a most egregious sin. In the end, the sinner is tormented by supernatural powers that can never be appeased, but ultimately finds redemption and ends the curse on his house once and for all. Woven through all of this is the story of a friendship so close that it elevates itself to brotherhood - Where the blood of the covenant is shown to be indeed thicker than the water of the womb. In this very brief twelve-chapter modern rendition of the Orestian plays, I have chosen to place my focus mainly on the lives of the characters Orestes and his best friend Pylades. The chapters, each around 2000-2500 words, are split up evenly between them in first-person narrative. I hope that you will come to enjoy reading this heartwarming story, but more importantly, that you see how the conflicts portrayed in the story, whether human or institutional, are still much very relevant to our societies today. Note on Sources: The details of this story is very loosely based on The Oresteia by Aeschylus. And I mean very loosely. Other sources that I referenced for detail and inspiration are Mythology by Edith Hamilton, Electra by Sophocles, and Iphigenia in Tauris by Euripides. You may also find that I have quoted some of these works, and others (such as Shelley's Ozymondaeus), without citations (average of 1-2 such quotes per chapter). I did this because I do not have the ability to describe certain scenes nearly as well as some of those writers. If you read a particularly beautiful piece of prose here, chances are it's probably stolen lol. Also, I wrote this during the summer between my high school senior year and my college freshmen year. It was the summer of 2020, and being quarantined apparently gets my creative side out lol.

Kichiro's Rampage
Meet Kichiro, the son of a samurai. A social outcast, he leaves his home with nothing but a musket and a sword, determined to carve himself a niche in a chaotic world of dragons and leviathans. This fiction incorporates LitRPG elements, but it's not set in a VR. It's set in a fantastical world based loosely on East Asia in the 16th and 17th Century, when the Ming Dynasty was on its last legs, with the addition of magic and monsters. I totally stole the stat tables from Exterminatus, the author of Everybody Loves Large Chests, so let me credit him for that. I'm new to writing so please don't hesitate to criticise, and reviews would be greatly appreciated.

Snereloa Rebirth
In the darkest shining void, an ethereal being holding a scepter floats toward a nebula made up of the souls of the dead from all realms awaiting to be reutilized into the cycle. They aren't a deity of death, but one tracking an anomaly that can't be processed and completely wiped clean as they enjoy calling it. A fresh start, without shackles or remnants of what once was. Life is a price paid by all living beings, but like any transaction, we give it something in exchange for our memories, our feelings, our emotions, our past, and future, our ambitions and our dreams. Those all fuel the fire of creation, but so do grief, and pain. Every moment of suffering is the price, every living moment is paid at our death. Sometimes some have so much piled up that their soul and heart end up damaged. Be it loss of trust or being unable to truly live their life, those shackles are like an anchor that keeps the soul stable when on the verge of breaking apart, keeping it together at an immense price. Those unlucky souls are forced to be put into another life indebted, in the unlikely possibility of their defect healing themself in that new life. Their memories aren't intact after all—everything has a price—and that pain and fear are what they carry, while their partial amnesia is their shackle. This is the story of one such soul, of a girl sent into a world of legend and novel of fantasy, dragons and magic. A world away from what she knew, in which she will hopefully heal, be happy, and survive its side of darkness. Ps: my english is self learnt that mean typo and some other issue will happen but it shouldnt affect the sense of the story if u have any correction u would want me to do or some thing arent clear please tell me
