2022-10-08 06:34:08The training grounds for the Wu Clan were located at the foot of the Battle Pavilion's mountain, quite some distance away from the Ancestral Mountain which was located in the center of the clan.
The Ancestral Mountain was surrounded by four mountain peaks' that had four divisions of study. There was the Alchemy Division on the east mountain, the Demonic Beast Taming Division on the north mountain, the Rune and Formation Division on the south mountain and the Battle Division on the west mountain.
In the center of these mountains and around the Ancestral peak, clan members residing in households, along with shopping districts, sub-branches of the four divisions, and other buildings present.
The four divisions only allowed their disciples to live on the mountain peaks. To become a disciple of one of the four divisions only one requirement has to be met, which is to have a spirit root.
A Spirit root is essential when Cultivating Spiritual Qi, without it a person would be doomed to stay a mortal.
Every three years each division would send a representative down their mountain to test the children of the Wu Clan between the ages of ten and twelve for Spirit roots. Even though they develop around the age of ten, some children might be late bloomers in developing them. But after becoming twelve years old, there was no possibility of developing it.
For the children who have Spirit roots, they would be allowed to spend one month on each of the four peaks to learn the basics of the four divisions and then be allowed to choose which one of them to enter.
For those who show a slight or outstanding affinity for one of the divisions, like in Alchemy or Beast Taming, they would be taken in straight away or even become a highly desired personal disciple for an Elder in that division.
For the 1/10 children without a spirit root, they would have to settle with being an external member of the clan, who dealt with the clan's daily necessities, like food and clothing, which basically means they were caretakers of the clan.
But that's how the Wu Clan operates, they don't hire servants outside of the clan, and no one in the clan is an outsider. Everyone's related either by blood or by marriage, which to some might seem peculiar.
A little distance away from the entrance to the training grounds, Longwei was hunched over with his hands on his knees out of breath.
'I should have taken the teleportation circle.'
He thought to himself, but after catching his breath and walking closer to the training grounds he was a bit stunned at what he saw.
Located at the entrance of the training grounds were three teleportation circles allocated to the divisions, besides the Battle Division that was nearby of course.
The Ancestral Mountain also had a teleportation circle allocated to them, but that was what stunned him, he couldn't see it.
The three divisions' teleportation circles were flashing wildly as a countless number of disciples from the Alchemy Division, Formation Division, and Demonic Beast Taming Division frantically rushed out of them. And even more were coming on foot from the surrounding area as well.
That Ancestral Mountain's teleportation circle was somewhat closer to the training grounds entrance than the other three, so normally when disciples exit from their division's teleportation circle they would walk around it, but currently, that teleportation circle was being run over by those maniac disciples.
The guards that were responsible for the teleportation circles were trying to get the disciples to walk around it, but even they were starting to be run over.
"W-What's all this madness for?”
Longwei wore a dumbfounded expression as he stutteringly asked that.
He had encountered clan members in groups rushing this way, but he wasn't expecting to see a situation like this.
"Everyone hurry, if we don't reach the training grounds before it's crowded we won't be able to get a good seat!"
‘A good seat? A good seat to what?’
Turning around, Longwei saw a group of six running in his direction.
At the front of the group was a young man that looked around his late teens, while behind him were five other young men and women that looked to be the same age as him.
Before they could rush past him Longwei called out.
"Wait! Could one of you kind senior brothers or sisters tell me what’s happening in the training grounds?"
Hearing the question, everyone in the group paused and turn to look at Longwei, weird expressions displayed on their faces.
The young man at the front said in an annoyed tone.
"Kid, what are you asking? Don't you know that today is the day Young Master Longmin is giving a lecture on cultivation?"
He then put on a threatening expression as he released his cultivation base that was at the mid-stage of the Foundation Building Realm and said again.
"If your delay caused us to miss front-row seats don't blame me for finding and teaching you a lesson!"
The young man seemed to be really upset about being stopped to be threatening a random clan member all of a sudden.
After letting out a snort, he led the others towards the crowded entrance.
Longwei had completely ignored the threat, a thoughtful look was on his face.’
'Is he finally interacting with clan members more now? That’s a good sign, he’s usually cooped up on the mountain I was starting to worry about him.'
Longwei, however, narrowed his eyes into slits while his expression slowly turned to one of indignation.
'But to think he would be showing off by holding a lecture instead of welcoming his big brother home. How distasteful.'
The group from earlier was already halfway through the crowd shoving and kicking people.
If that young man from before was to ever find out who he had just threatened, he would probably die from a heart attack.
But before he left the Ancestral Mountain, Longwei had disguised his appearance while also using a Runic Seal to suppress his cultivation back to the 9th level the Qi Gathering stage.
This was not the first time he had done something like this, in fact, this was a habit of his that he had ever since he was younger that he would do to pass time.
Though a result of this was that almost half of the clan hadn’t seen his true appearance.
As for his hidden cultivation base, the Runic Seal allowed him to hide it from anyone below the Nascent Soul Realm, which was impressive considering his low-level cultivation.
Coming out of his thoughts, Longwei looked at the crowded entrance and smile bitterly.
"If I were to try and pass through here, I'm afraid I'd be squeezed to death"
The entrance to the training grounds wasn't small, it was big enough for six horse carriages to enter side by side, but due to the influx of people entering even a drop of water would find it difficult to squeeze through now.
Not willing to be trampled to death, Longwei chose to enter the side entrance that was only accessible to the Patriarch and Elders of the clan.
Leaving the crowded area, he hurried towards the side entrance that was a few meters away from the main entrance.
Unlike the main entrance, the side entrance was a regular size door that had two guards there to prevent intruders from intruding.
One of the guards after noticing Longwei's approach stepped forward.
"Halt! You're not allowed to enter through here, you know the clan rules. If you want to enter the training grounds use the main gate like everyone else!".
Longwei released a smile at that before he tap the pouch attached to his waist. Suddenly, a purple token appeared in his hand. On the token, the character 'Wei' was carved on it.
The guard upon seeing the token was taken aback, quickly cupping his fist he said.
"Forgive me Young Master Longwei, I did not know it was you."
The other guard was also surprised as he saluted in a hurry as well.
"It's okay."
Longwei said as he walked through the now open door.
Someone in the crowd at the main entrance shouted out in surprise.
"Look over there, someone is using the side entrance!"
Everyone in the crowd who heard him whipped their heads around to see Longwei entering the side entrance.
"Who's that?"
"He's so young, is he some personal disciple of an Elder?"
"No! Not even a personal disciple of an Elder is allowed to use the side entrance."
"Then who is he? How can he use the Elders' and Patriarch's entrance?"
Everyone in the crowd started to discuss the identity of the youth that had been allowed to use the side entrance.

The training grounds of the Wu Clan were rather large. After one entered through the main entrance they would be greeted with an open area that could hold about two stadiums.It had spectator seats that could hold more than a few thousand people. At its center were three huge podiums and four smaller ones. Off to the sides were areas with training dummies and targets that could be used for weapon practice.On one of the smaller podiums that were closer to the main entrance, and where the crazed disciples were crowding around, a youth dressed in white scholar robes was there sitting in a lotus position.He gave off a gentle and refined temperament that would make him stand out in any crowd. One striking feature of this youth that one would immediately notice upon looking at him was that his left pupil was blue while his right pupil was golden.Coupled with his shoulder-length ash-brown hair and his smooth pale white skin, he gave people the sense of being odd. But this oddness was like

Looking at his brother with an annoyed expression, Longwei ignored the question and instead said."Twin or not, I'm still the older brother so it's only right for you to address me as such.""I'll call you elder brother when you’re on our deathbed, consider it a parting gift."Longmin's instant rebuttal caused Longwei to become speechless.His tone was filled with so much cheekiness you wouldn’t believe he was still smiling all warmly as he said it.Narrowing his eyes, Longwei locked his gaze with a smiling Longmin. Suddenly, his hand slammed on the chair’s armrest.Slap! Boom! Whoosh!The chair he was leisurely sitting on was slapped to pieces, giving him the momentum to leap off the edge of the booth into the air.The crowd below looked up to see Longwei's dragon-like figure soar across a distance of eighty meters to arrive above the stage. With the sun behind him, everyone could only make out his silhouette.While still floating in the air from the inertia, Longwei placed his palms

About sixty feet away from the stage, the disciple saw another Longmin standing there in his white scholar's robes.However, his refine and scholarly air was gone and his calm smile was replaced by an ice-cold expression.The disciples immediately did a double-take before they turn to look back at where Longmin had been sitting only to see the image of Longmin fading away. They did a triple take as their eyes started to widen in amazement.Longmin had moved so far a distance with such speed that an afterimage was created, thus causing the misconception of him being pierced through by the three Sword Qi."You actually infused Sword Qi into the palm. What if I wasn’t able to dodge in time, what would you have done?!"Longmin yelled while his body started to tremble from anger.Longwei, however, just smiled and nonchalantly said."What are you so angry about? At most you'd only get a scratch.""Bullshit!!"Longwei's words immediately provoked the refined and scholarly Longmin to the poin
Immortal Journey of the Wu Clan's Twin Dragons Chapter 7- That Old Fogie!
When Longwei's hand had come in contact with the illusory Longmin he had felt faint fluctuations of what he thought was Spiritual Sense. But by the time he wanted to dodge, a rune had appeared below his feet trapping him in place.Longwei was a bit skeptical, how could this brother of his use Spiritual Sense when he was only in the Foundation Realm? And the early stage at that! He should be working on developing his Spiritual Strength just like him.Spiritual Sense was something only Core Formation cultivators had, compared to a Foundation cultivator’s Spiritual Strength it's a hundred times better!Spiritual Strength was inferior because unless there was a medium it can't leave the body. For example, a blacksmith at the Foundation Realm can send his Spiritual Strength into a piece of metal and understand its structure to create a better weapon, but even then, his understanding of its inner structure will be blurry and unclear.However, with a Core Formation's Spiritual Sense not only

With a loud thud, Longwei was dropped butt-first onto the stage.He let out a muffled whimper as his sore butt made contact with the reinforced concrete.His face had also turned pale white and a few tears were seen in the corner of his eyes.Crawling up on all four, he gave a hateful stare towards Longmin who in turn just smiles at him apologetically.Suddenly, another voice echoed above the stage."Wei'er, come see me in the Ancestral hall."When Longmin heard that voice a complicated emotion flashed past his blue and gold pupils, but his smiling expression didn't change.Longwei grunted before struggling up fully and walking as a penguin would off the stage.His butt was in excruciating pain. A sort of fire was in his chest at being humiliated by that old fart, but he had nowhere to vent. He could only suck it up.However, Longwei's eyes suddenly landed on a young man that was trying his best to blend in with the crowd.When Longwei came close to the main entrance of the training g

Hearing his son's question, the Patriarch didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Longwei however, just looked at his Father with confusion written all over his face.He really wanted to know the reason because, on the journey back from the Central Continent, his mind was constantly preoccupied with this thought.He had read ancient texts about Legendary Physiques in the Wu Clan's library as he had one as well, and it was said that the requirements needed for a planet to produce someone with a Legendary Physique were very stringent.It was so hard that a planet could go tens of thousands of years without ever having someone born with a Legendary Physique.However, here on planet Daiyu, the weakest of the four planets in the Wither Daemon Realm. There was not only one person with a Legendary Physique but five!And that's not including him!Longwei was right to be confused because a planet that could produce six Legendary Physiques in the same generation is like winning a scratch lottery w

The cultivation system for demonic beasts is different from the cultivation system of humans. Their levels of cultivation range from Rank 1 to Rank 5, with rank 6 beasts being called Greater Demonic Beasts. Each level corresponds to the human cultivation system. So, a rank 1 demonic beast is as powerful as a Qi Gathering stage cultivator. But even though their cultivation system is somewhat different from humans, it still follows the same principles as there are low-tier, mid-tier, high-tier, and peak-tier levels among ranked demonic beasts. The same as someone who is in the 3rd level, 6th level, and 9th level of the Qi Gathering stage is called an early-stage, mid-stage, and late-stage Qi Gathering cultivator. And when a 9th-stage cultivator is ready to break through to the next level, he was called a peak stage Qi Gathering cultivator. On planet Daiyu or the Demonic Beast Continent specifically, the highest-ranked demonic beast is the two Beast Kings of the Fire Phoenix and Ice P

All eyes stared at the booth Zen Chi was in wondering if he would continue to bid, but only silence permeated the Auction House.Old man Fen's voice then spoke up, “Sixty million mid-grade Spirit Stones going once!… Sixty million mid-grade Spirit Stones going twice!… does anyone want to bid any higher?”When the crowd below heard old man Fen's question, they were looking at him as if he had grown two more heads.Seeing the crowd's gaze directed to him, old man Fen chuckled to himself.“Congratulations to the Crown Prince for obtaining the coffin of the 118th prince of the Eternal Darkness Clan for sixty million mid-grade Spirit Stones.

Even though Long Wei had not said his name that loudly, Zhen Chi seemed to hear it since his head instantly turned to look in the direction of their booth.Seeing Long Wei and the others, Zen Chi flash a smile in their direction before he followed the attendant which led him to a VIP booth that was coincidentally next to theirs, albeit a little lower in position.Their booth was one of the few that was on the top floor, all the other VIP booths were on a lower level.Both Li Fang and Bao had also taken notice of Zen Chi’s appearance. Li Fang was heard saying, “It looks like Zen Chi had taken an interest in this auction.”Long Wei snorted upon hearing that then said, “What is he doing here? Wasn’t he supposed to be sending a challenge to that demoness? Can he afford to waste time attending this auction?”Bao who was silent had a thoughtful full expression on his face before he slowly said, “The Divine Merchant Guild always holds this smaller auction before their main event.

The Divine Merchant Guild Auction was the biggest auction held on the Central Continent by the well-known Divine Merchant Guild.They are one of, if not the biggest suppliers of cultivation resources on not only the Central Continent but the entire planet Daiyu. Wait no! That’s not right either, they’re actually the biggest supplier of cultivation resources between all of the four planets in this Lower Realm.Rumors say that they are owned by a powerful Clan on planet Lin that goes by the name of the Fang Clan.For some people, it was really hard to believe that a force that spans an entire Lower Realm was owned by one clan, but if you were to believe further rumors which stated that their Founding Ancestor was an Immortal, then the fact that they have such wealth and power to stretch an entire Realm wouldn’t be out of the realm of possibility.Powerful clans like them were known as Immortal Clans, and there were quite a few of those Immortal Clans stationed on the planet Lin, making

When Long Wei heard that his face scrunched up in confusion before he asked again, “Why does the second prince of the Xingyun Dynasty live in an isolated pavilion in the guest quarters when he visits? Isn’t he supposed to have a courtyard for himself somewhere else?”The servant still had to listen carefully to understand Long Wei’s slurred words, but he managed to understand and his face was covered in hesitation, before he slowly said, “Um.. honored guest, it was the second prince’s choice to have this arrangement.”With a frown still on his face, Long Wei asked again, “Why?”Hearing his question, the servant became even more hesitant and a little nervous as well. As a servant, he didn’t want to speak about the matters involving the second prince, but he didn’t want to offend this guest by not answering either.Just as the servant was wondering what to do, a cold voice suddenly spoke from behind them.“Because I don't like to be bothered and this place is peaceful and quiet...”When

After a while, Long Wei completely emptied the cup before he slammed it down on the table.He then turn to look at Longmin, who in turn also looked towards him.Without saying anything Long Wei nodded his head, and then turn to Bao and Li Fang who were conversing, and said, “Well, it wasn’t a pleasure seeing you both, so my brother and I will take our leave now.”Longmin had already begun getting up with Long Wei following behind him.Bao upon hearing Long Wei’s words turned to look at him.He then thought to himself.‘Father had probably intended for me to accompany them to buy time for the news to reach the Wu Clan's ears.’With that thought in mind, Bao suddenly spoke up and said to the two brothers, “Are you both planning on leaving the Continent?”Long Wei paused his steps and turn to answer Bao, “No, actually we only came here to settle some personal matters, but that had already been solved so we're just going on a sightseeing tour of your continent.”Hearing that, Bao perked u

Coughing for a moment, Bao then looked at Longmin’s rather handsome appearance, which Bao was quite unwilling to admit was better than his own, before looking at Long Wei’s simple and average face.He knew that Long Wei was always wearing his disguises and he had never seen his true appearance even till now, but since Li Fang said both he and Longmin were twins, he couldn’t help but feel a bit strange knowing Long Wei had always looked better than him, he just felt the news to be too sudden.Long Wei was looking at Li Fang with slight surprise, while Longmin took the words out of his mouth by asking the question, “How did you see through elder brother’s disguise?”“Oh, so this brat’s the older twin, no wonder he’s so annoying.”After not seeing this bastard for nearly three years, Long Wei had completely forgotten his hatred for Li Fang, but meeting him now, the hatred he once felt was slowly coming back.This got him thinking about how he had first met Li Fang when he was on a debauc

After being shocked for a moment, Li Fang finally regain his composure and pulled his grip from Longmin’s hold.“It’s the first time someone has discovered me when I use my concealment ability.”Bao looked at Li Fang and said in a perplexed tone.“Junior brother Fang I didn’t know you had such abilities. Were you hiding it all this time?”Li Fang smiled and began walking around the table to sit on the empty side. After sitting Li Fang poured himself a cup of tea while saying.“You guys weren’t the only ones that were improving over the past few years. And as for my concealment ability, well, Sying Mu and Yuyan is not the only one who had tapped into their Legendary Physique.”Soon after Li Fang finished saying that, Long Wei scowled at him and said, “How long were you listening to us? And who do think you are trying to sneak attack me from behind, you perverted bastard!”Unfazed by Long Wei's harsh words, Li Fang casually took a sip from his tea before he said, “Stop being so dramatic
