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
They emerged from the forest without encountering any obstacles. As they made their way, Ben would occasionally engage in one-sided conversations with Jayson, not giving him a chance to respond. He would then break into song, with his wives joining in. Regardless of Jayson's attempts to be considerate, Ben's singing abilities were insufferable from every perspective.Jayson breathed a sigh of relief when they caught sight of the town gate. However, he was taken aback. A remote town had a gate and a surrounding fence, and three officers stood guard."Do you have coins to pay for the gate entrance? If you don't, don't worry; I'll cover it for both of us," Ben proudly declared, seemingly relishing the opportunity to show off, which Jayson found somewhat admirable.Grateful for Ben's offer to pay, Jayson readily accepted and replied, "Thank you in advance; the payment is indeed a concern. But why do we have to pay to enter a remote town like this? It's not a city."Jayson exhaled in relie
Jayson tensed up, caught off guard by the unexpected confrontation. He hadn't even placed an order yet, and now trouble was brewing right before his eyes. It felt like a stroke of terrible luck.Amidst the tension, the sound of crashing chairs echoed from the bar. Jayson turned his attention to the commotion, witnessing a heartbreaking scene. The store owner pleaded desperately, his voice filled with anguish. "Please, stop! Don't destroy my store! What have I done to deserve this?"A voice pierced through the chaos. "Pa Lu, if you allow your beautiful granddaughter to become the mistress of our supervisor, we promise to leave you in peace. We'll even bring more customers, and our comrades will dine here every day. Just give us your consent, and I'll order my men to cease this senseless destruction!" The speaker was none other than one of the officials.Pa Lu's response was unwavering, filled with determination. "Never! I will never allow my granddaughter to be a pawn in that lecherous
