Jayson followed Angel as she led him to the dining hall. As he entered, he couldn't help but be amazed by its sheer size. The tables were neatly arranged, and the environment was immaculate. The surrounding trees added a touch of freshness, and a gentle mist hovered over the roof, creating a serene atmosphere. Lost in his admiration, Jayson suddenly felt a strong push from behind. Caught off guard, he stumbled forward and crashed into a nearby table, eventually landing on the floor with a thud. Laughter erupted from somewhere in the hall, echoing loudly. Groaning in pain, Jayson had reached his limit with people attacking him without cause. Lying on the floor, he tapped into his inner strength and transformed into the sect master. With a swift motion, he unleashed a powerful palm strike. Boom! The force of his strike shattered the table into countless pieces and sent the four individuals who had pushed him flying backward, crashing into the wall with a resounding thud. The impact w
Jayson's words carried an air of superiority and dominance, provoking extreme anger among the disciples who heard them. Even the last disciple whom Jayson reprimanded couldn't contain his fury and erupted, "Fine! I bet one hundred thousand North Continent coins!"Being new to the world, Jayson was unfamiliar with the value of the disciple's wager, leaving him unsure of how to respond. The crowd, filled with people who now despised Jayson more than their own enemies, eagerly joined in the excitement. Within no time, over sixty disciples had placed bets for the upcoming battle on the platform.Anegl's face paled as she witnessed the crowd ganging up against Jayson. In the past, she wouldn't have worried because her master had the ability to handle them all. However, now that her master had lost all his cultivation, she felt a deep sense of concern."What will you wager if you lose?" one of the disciples stepped forward and asked, folding his arms defiantly.Jayson glanced at him casuall
Jayson turned to the next page, his face contorting with disgust at the sight of the next cultivator."He's incredibly ugly," Jayson muttered, quickly flipping to another page after stifling a yawn as he summarized the cultivator's history. Page after page, he mercilessly criticized each cultivator, dismissing them as useless and incapable of making any significant impact, despite their inclusion in the history book.But then his eyes lit up as he came across the section on "Lord Monkey." "Now this is interesting," Jayson thought to himself, his excitement evident. Lord Monkey was renowned for his unparalleled skill in escaping. He had evaded capture even when besieged by seven powerful saints. "This is the perfect choice for an escape," Jayson exclaimed, his gaze fixed intently on the drawing of Lord Monkey in the history book. As Jayson engraved the image into his mind, he turned to the next page and regarded the cultivator with disdain. "Useless," he commented before swiftly fl
The Monkey Lord, confident in his superior cultivation, effortlessly evaded detection by the divine senses sweeping across the sect. With a nonchalant sniff, he muttered, "Um..." before directing his gaze towards the palace. Swiftly, he took flight, skillfully manoeuvring through the air and slipping inside through an open window.Once inside, he scanned the surroundings with purpose, until his eyes settled upon a long dining table adorned with a lavish spread of food and drinks. Roasted and fried chickens, tantalizing spices, and an array of vegetables adorned the table, creating a magnificent feast fit for royalty.A mischievous grin tugged at the corners of the Monkey Lord's lips as he heard Jayson from the sea of his consciousness expressing his overwhelming desire for the sumptuous meal. "Take them all," Jayson urged, "clear the table—I want it all!"In the sea of his consciousness, Jayson's figurine watched in awe and trepidation as the Monkey Lord elegantly waved his hand, caus
The sect disciples collectively gasped, fully aware of the terrifying power of the chaotic fire in the sect's secret chamber. The mere thought of one's soul being subjected to eternal torment amidst those flames was enough to send shivers down their spines.Observing the fear he had instilled in them, the second elder's voice turned cold as he issued a demand, "Examine your surroundings and identify those who are absent."A murmur swept through the disciples as they scanned the area, desperately searching for any signs of missing individuals."Second Elder," Hussain's voice boomed across the courtyard, "Jayson and Angel—the young girl who accompanies him—are the only ones not present."Disgust twisted the second elder's features upon hearing this report, and he dismissively waved Hussain away. A crippled person stood no chance of executing a theft right under the watchful eyes of the sect's elders."The rest of you," the second elder commanded, "conduct a thorough search of the sect g
The Ascension World was plunged into sudden darkness, as if an impending apocalypse was about to befall it. Ancient phantom images of colossal beasts materialized in the sky, encircling the realm with an ominous presence.A fierce gale roared, its howling reverberating through the air, while lightning streaked across the heavens, followed by deafening thunderclaps. The cataclysmic display unfolding above caught the attention of numerous formidable cultivators, who sensed the imminent danger.An elderly man, the Sect Master, stood resolute, his gaze fixated on the darkened sky. Behind him, a swordsman knelt in reverence, addressing him cautiously."Sect Master," the swordsman spoke, his voice tinged with urgency. "Shall I assemble a team to investigate the disturbances occurring in the North Continent?"Without turning to look at the swordsman, the Sect Master issued his command."Yes," he replied, his voice steady yet filled with determination. "Gather a group of capable individuals a
Jayson's eyes darted anxiously as he scanned the surroundings, desperately searching for her. Suddenly, Angel emerged from a pile of dust, shaking herself vigorously and sending the particles flying into the air.A wave of relief washed over Jayson as he realized she was unharmed. "Let's get out of here," he said, turning to Angel and leading the way down the mountain. The sooner they left, the better.As they made their way toward the sect gate, Jayson glanced back and noticed a group of sect disciples gathered a few meters away, watching their departure intently."Jayson, what about Serenity, your fiancée? Aren't you going to inform her about leaving the sect?" The sect master's voice boomed across the distance.Jayson halted in his tracks, pausing to contemplate the question. Serenity? Fiancée? None of it made sense. He made a resolute decision and stepped forward, exiting the sect gate without looking back.Glancing at the sect plaque one last time, Jayson realized that despite sp
With his head held high and a fierce retort on his lips, Ben arrogantly pointed his finger towards the group of bandits. "You fools have no idea who I am! I am the esteemed young master of the Thomas family, hailing from the renowned town of Huju."The bandits, taken aback, exchanged suspicious glances, their faces mirroring their disbelief. Ben's arrogant demeanour only grew, and he couldn't help but inquire with a smug smile, "Hmph! Are you trembling in fear now? It's too late. Unless you all bow down and kowtow before me, none of you will escape unscathed."The bandits burst into laughter, their uproarious mirth filling the air. They found Ben's words so hilarious that they clutched their stomachs in amusement.Ben stood there, dumbfounded, unable to comprehend what was so funny about his statement. Suddenly, one of the bandits dramatically dropped to his knees, his voice filled with mock fear. "Oh, young master Ben, we are truly terrified! Please forgive our ignorance and spare ou
