《The Only Real Cultivator》Chapter 10

Xing Chen Wei
This was my last mission. The chance of me surviving this was zero. A fifteen meter long centipede chased behind me. After spending five days searching for the six pedal goldflower, this was going to be my end.
Even after reaching the fifth stage of dao formation, I couldn’t run faster than this insect.
I leapt from branch to branch across the canopy of the White Dragon Forest. I channeled the Qi to make me move faster. I felt the Qi inherent to the world shift and propel me forward, but it still wasn’t faster than the monstrosity behind me. The centipede was about to close its pincers over me.
My sect was falling apart. No. It had already fallen apart. In this dog eat dog world, I was to die in a remote part of a hellish forest, along with the last remains of my sect.
“Ah shit fuck!” I heard somebody shout a pair of vulgar words. In my resignation to death, that pair of words brought me back. Maybe this person could save me! My desire to survive reignited. I could hope!
All my hopes and dreams came rushing back at the same time. Hopes and dreams of rebuilding my sect. Hopes and dreams of breaking through into the sixth stage. I found the power to dodge out of the way.
I slammed into the side of a tree branch, hitting the back of my head and bouncing off. Closing my eyes, I fell into the dark depths of the forest.

I slowly worked to make the old nest my new garden. After a week of work, the old dung-filled space turned into a vibrant garden.
Forty thousand mana had been spent on creating this plant stronghold. I had many powerful systems in place in order to ensure my safety.

I’d say my ultimate stroke of genius was my battle room. I had taken my rock-on-stomach alarm setup and turned it into something truly amazing.
It was a table with a hundred tiles embedded into it. Each tile represented a different area around my stronghold. If any of the tiles shook, that meant something was moving in that area. I planted Explosive Bulbs coated in even more Poison Spikes in those places.
In other news, I got a comfortable bed.

I studied my garden, which had expanded to take up the entire nest. This garden could tear any animal I had seen so far to shreds. I could expand and improve it, but what would be the point?
I was trying to weave a decent blanket out of string when I heard a tapping noise from the battle room. The rock tiles in there made little tapping sounds when they moved. They only moved when something was in my territory.
It was actually pretty normal for something to be wandering through my territory. I would be fine with it as long as it didn’t get into my garden, so I usually ignored the tapping sounds. But this time, the tapping was going many times faster than normal. Something extremely powerful was moving through my territory.
I ran into the battle room and examined the tiles. One tile would go down, and then it would spring back up again and the one next to it would go down. I determined the direction it was in and moved to find what was going on.

I hopped outside and dropped two seeds to the ground. One turned into a Twentytacle Trap, the other became a Protect attached to the top of the trap. It acted as a makeshift carriage. The Protect was my seat while the tentacles were my legs. I jumped in the Twentytacle Trap tentacles launched us forward. A vine held me down as we sped up.
Seconds later, I saw a gigantic centipede chasing a young lady. A human young lady. Moving faster than race cars, the girl must’ve been some kind of superhuman. But being superhuman didn’t save her against a fifteen meter centipede. The creature was longer and thicker than a school bus. Two seconds away from being eaten, I didn’t have time to save her.
The first human I meet, and she would die right before my eyes? “Ah shit fuck!” I scrambled to get one of my vines to save her.
Somehow, she twisted out the centipede’s way at the last second. She bounced off a branch and fell. The way she ran into the branch didn’t look so good. A normal person wouldn’t have survived. I looked down. It was a long drop, like jumping off a skyscraper.
In a rush, I leaped out of the carriage and commanded it to catch her. It dropped me on a leaf and skittered through the branches, letting her fall into the Protect. I clenched my teeth. The way I caught her didn’t look so good either.
The centipede charged at me. I narrowed my eyes, throwing three seeds at it. The first turned into a Twentytacle Trap, and the other two became Poison Spikes. The spikes attached to the ends of two tentacles.
Spinning through the air, the trap wrapped around the centipede and the spikes stabbed into its eyes. The centipede fell to the forest floor jerking and spasming. I didn’t feel bad about killing bugs.
The carriage crawled back to me, and I checked the pit. She was still panting from the running. She looked unharmed despite everything. I breathed a sigh of relief.
I brought the girl into my bedroom and placed her on the makeshift bed. It was a box filled with Fluffpile fluff, with a bearish skin hide as a blanket. It was actually very comfortable. I lie her on the bed carefully.
She opened her eyes right after I set her down.

The Oscillation (No Swearing)
It was an average day in Miami—then fractures in the sky appeared. A pulse from those cracks altered the population; some people's biology changed while others received magical and supernatural powers. After the chaos, the political drama ensued, followed by the discovery of portals that brought deadly creatures. They called this event "The Oscillation" and it changed Rachel's life forever. Note: I've received some feedback that people don't like the foul language. This also included my mother, she wanted me to make a cleaner version for her. So, I thought I might as well release it alongside the more explicit version. I went back and rewrote the parts that have profanity in them. ^_^7 Cover Commissioned From Likesac ^_^7
8 114Heavenly Domination
''Nobody knows what is true loneliness until they reach the apex, what is like to have no equal, and live without a challenge. A hundred thousand years felt like a second and can only be compared to a grain of sand in a desert of time. I’ve seen countless worlds end and countless ones be born''In the starry sky there are many universes which contain infinite galaxies, which contain countless stars and planets. In the world of cultivation there was once a person who reached the apex of existence, omnipotent and omniscient. If there was a person that truly deserved the title of God, it was him. But once reaching the apex, he got lonely and bored, and because there was nobody equal to him, nobody could kill him. So he killed himself and chose to be reincarnated millions of years after his death. He suddenly woke up inside a cave in a young body, and this is where his new journey towards heavenly domination begins once again. Follow Tianshen as he tries to rediscover his own humanity, morals and his struggle between right and wrong. A sincere thank you to everyone that gives this story a chance.
8 87The Mystifying Diviner
Content warning, there is cursing in the story and there will be some pretty heavy sexual innuendos in it also. I don’t really plan to write gore, but there will be fight scenes. Fair warning to readers, it is a slow start. But hopefully it is enjoyable for you to read. Follow the story of an old chef who was lucky to be selected to become a system host. Well maybe not so lucky, because gaining the system killed him. He will be given a system that might not be the best match for him. While also having to deal with a snarky system monitor who might not be that helpful most of the time. He will also use his new found powers to enjoy life in a new younger body. What you can expect from this story is bad writing, poor grammar, and slow pacing maybe. Food, cooking, comedy, slice of life, fighting, exploring, tournaments, scamming and probably face slapping. I mean who doesn’t like a good face slapping? This is my take on a cultivation story, a lot of Eastern stuff will be crammed into with a mix of Western. This story started as a goal for myself to write 60,000 words in a month for NaNoWriMo. I was able to do it even with taking days off and not writing. I plan to keep writing the story, but at a slightly slower pace. I am aiming for 2-3 chapters a week now with about 4-7k words written. This is only posted on RoyalRoad currently, and I have no plans to change that for now.

[Participant in the Royalroad writathon challenge].The content warnings are more for minor things, minor enough that a fourth-or maybe third grader could read.A lot of chapters, particularly in the first 3 books, are unedited, and I'll try to get more edited soon.Covers credit to Asviloka.NOTE: I only publish this on Royalroad.com, and if you read it somewhere else, it is pirated and you suck.
