KNOCK, KNOCK.“Yes, you can enter,” Blake said under the covers.“Sorry for earlier. Here, these should fit you.” Sister Song said suddenly, lay the clothing on the chair, and abruptly left, blushing hard.Blake shook his head and smiled at her cuteness. Dressing, his assumption was like what he had imagined. All the clothing was made of rough wool and was very rough on the skin. He wished his clothing had survived; at least he could wear some underwear under these pants. He tried the shoes and found them to be made of soft leather, animal skin, it would seem. He hadn’t noticed Sister Song’s footwear being the skirt covering her feet but assumed they were the same. After dressing, he picked up the tray that accidentally fell to the floor, and the food was still on its plate, making Blake thankful it didn’t spill onto the floor during her shock.Blake was amazed at the lack of progress he was making. For someone who cultivated the Body Life Destruction and could endure the Divine Light
“You bastard, why didn’t you let me go with you? You only dropped me off and took the Organization on by yourself.” Sylvia said angrily. “Your foundation had not been settled, and I didn’t want you to get hurt. You had only finished your tribulation, and fighting them would have hurt your progress,” Blake said, placing his hand behind his head as he explained. “So what, this is some type of projection?” Sylvia asked, calming down and hearing Blake’s explanation, looking Blake up and down. “It’s complicated,” Blake said, explaining what had happened after sending Sylvia to the Small World and meeting Sister Song and her kindness when he entered the Inner World. “It would seem we will even get a sister from the Inner World,” Sylvia giggled. “It’s not like that. She is helping me, and right now, I’m unable to help her; the environment here is five times more than on Earth. Three times more than the Small World. It’s hard to adjust to the gravity and excessive Spirit Qi here, and I on
Blake continued in the direction of the town and decided to try his Quick steps and found that although taxing on him, it could be achieved for a short burst if needed to escape suddenly. He also tried his Shadow Sword, which became more accessible, and now he felt well protected when the sword manifested in his hand. Looking around, he gave it a small wave, and the tree before him was cut in half lengthwise; Blake rushed onto the town like a child who did wrong.“Oh, you’re awake; it’s been a few days. How do you feel?” Hana asked the woman in the bed before her.“I’m sorry, who are you?” The blond woman asked, realizing she didn’t even know her own name.“Do you not know who you are? What’s your name?” Hana asked with worry.“I____I don’t know. It’s all a blank.” The woman stated, shaking her head as if it could jog her memory back.“You are Camila. You are one of the staff here in the Flowing Sword Sect, a slave, and if it weren’t for me, you would have been at the bottom of the cl
Chang fanned himself and smiled. “There is a shortage of beast meat and can’t spare it. It’s hard to provide for the whole town, but if you become my wife, there would be many benefits, including the delicacies from eating beast meat every day.”Chang then tried to get closer to Sister Song and hold her hand. Seeing his shameless actions, Sister Song moved away from his actions with a frown, swiping his hand away from her.“How despicable! Are you seeking me as your fifth wife? Keep dreaming, it’s bad enough you conned my best friend, and now you want me as well? Never!” Sister Song called out.“Then I suggest you learn to live without meat altogether. You will not have any more of the rationed meat from this town unless you submit to me.” Chang said, still fanning himself with a smile; the poor relied on this meat to survive.“Are you going to bully me? The town of Jiāoqū owes that meat for my parent’s efforts. Why use your father’s power of being Governor to bully the weak? This is
Blake stood there motionless, looking at the six men advancing towards him. Channeling his Divine Qi into a condensed state, he created a barrier around him, and Siter Song and his Qi sword manifested in his hand.Shock was seen on everyone’s faces as Blake’s Divine Qi manifested outside the body.“He’s in the Divine Realm retreat with the Young Lord and Miss. Report to the Governor the situation.” A man with excellent build and armor said as he walked to Blake and Sister Song, but this time with no malicious intent, so Blake lowered his Qi barrier but kept his sword vigilant to the guards’ actions.“Apologies, please don’t take offense to this lowly servant.” The man said, giving Blake a slight bow.Blake ignored him and looked to Sister Song and spoke.“Are you alright?” Blake softly asked with a caring smile so only they could hear.“You, you are in the Devine Realm?” Sister Song asked softly, shocked to see that Blake was so powerful and wondered how he got so injured.“Yeah, well
Chang rose from his position and motioned for two guards to take his wife away as he still looked in the direction where Blake and Sister Song departed and called one of his men to him and whispered.Blake and Sister Song left the town and walked in silence. Blake was afraid that Sister Song feared him, so he casually tried to make small talk.“Sister, can you tell me about this area? Seeing I’m new here, it would be great to get the lay of the land.” Blake began.“Hugh? Oh, yeah. We are in the western part of the Empire. It’s primarily rural areas with a few towns or villages in between. Every year, a Beast tide will threaten the towns and villages.Blake let Sister Song explain that there were four areas of the Empire, North, South, East and West, with a vast ocean to the east of the Empire, where no one has ventured. The North holds the capital city, Empire City. There were four main Sects that everyone wanted to attend and four leading families throughout the Empire that had juris
Blake continued with this method until he was at the boundary of breaking the last barrier, but it was still not enough right now and quit his cultivation. He could feel the barrier but just couldn’t break it; he was at a bottleneck, and continuing would only hurt his cultivation. Rising from his spot, he reentered the home only to find Sister Song panting like she had run a marathon; with a surprised expression, she asked.“What the hell was that? What were you doing outside?”Blake, confused told her what he had been doing.“I was cultivating? Why and why are you like this?”“How else could I be if not like this? I rose in my cultivation and am now in Martial Apprentice’s fifth level. If you wouldn’t have stopped it would have continued and maybe break through to ninth. I’m not ready, and neither is my body. I need to continue strengthening my foundation.” Sister Song explained as she sat on one of the chairs by the table, breathing hard.“Sorry. I didn’t know that my cultivation wo
Sister Song sat there for a few moments as Blake replenished his Divine Qi that he had relinquished to her; as she said, they needed an external source for the Divine Qi to enter them and make progress. Blake also discovered why he and his women differed from Sister Song and, most likely, the people of the Inner World. They all had golden cores that would transform the Spirit Qi into Devine Qi. Sister Song lacked this essential element in her cultivation. If Sister Song wanted an unlimited Divine Qi, she would have to form her golden core but to do so now. She would have to scrap her current cultivation and begin anew, which didn’t guarantee success. So Blake didn’t bring it up.Seeing it was getting late, They rose from their position and entered the home. It was time for dinner, and Sister Song was too pleased to provide it for them. Blake, also under protest, helped prepare the food; they were to celebrate with a Beast meat stew with herbs from Blake to strengthen Sister Song’s fou
Blake and Gloria looked at one another in surprise, and Blake frowned.“So you’ve been hiding your powers,” Blake said, not showing any shock.“What’s it to you, freak,” Jerold responded with an evil glare.“What’s your plan?” Blake asked. “Capture Olivia, brainwash her to convince her Father not to pursue the bill my Father wants to pass?”Jerold then turned to Blake with a smile.“What a clever boy. Seen right through me, have you? But it’s too late. With Olivia as my girlfriend, her Father has to listen to her, or maybe something nasty will happen to her.” Jerold stated.“Let her go. She is innocent.” Gloria called out and was about to move against Jerold when Olivia moved between them.“Move out of the way, Olivia,” Gloria said.“You will not hurt my boyfriend. What? Jealous that I got a boyfriend now?” Olivia asked, looking at Gloria with an evil look.“Olivia, listen to what you are saying. We have been friends for so long.” Gloria said, trying to get through to Olivia and snap
While the adults were discussing the situation, Blake Jr. and Gloria traveled along the shadows with Blake’s powerful Darkness Law and headed to the isolated room holding Olivia. When they arrived at the door, one could see that there were many runes and symbols on the door protecting it.“When did the church have such an array?” Blake Jr. asked, only to have Gloria shake her head in response.Behind the door lay Olivia, waking up from the chloroform given to her to make her come with the men more easily. When she awoke, her head hurt, and she dizzily swayed when she rose.“Ah, you are awake.” A familiar voice came that made her turn her head too quickly. To see Jerold sitting there patiently.“Ow, Jerold, have we been kidnapped?” Olivia asked, holding her head.“No, not really. My Father wants to meet with your Father to discuss some things, and we are here to wait.” Jerold said, looking like he was excited to be with Olivia.“Jerold, that is kidnapping. Your Father will be in troubl
Blake followed behind with the children, Consuela and Michael, as Reverend Fengway began his speech on what the church did for the community and the city.“The Lord works in mysterious ways.” Reverend Fengway said when they stopped under a rather large cross depicting Jesus’s crucifixion.The room was only lit by dim lighting, and unknown to Reverend Fengway, this was Blake Jr’s chance. Taking Gloria in his arms, he melded into the shadows.“How so?” Asked Blake, looking at Reverend Fengway; he suddenly felt an ominous presence. “Consuela, take the children back to the car.”Before they could move, the room became bright. As bright as the sum when a person began to descend in front of the group.Michael looked on and saw who was arriving, and he sneered in discontent. How could he not recognize the angel arriving? His arch-rival within the dimension Heaven.“Archangel Ezekiel, it’s been a while.” Michael’s voice came before the light dissipated.There before them was a tall man seven
Blake and Michael were on their way to the Ministry of the Church when the revelation that Consuela was with the children was heading there to meet with him.“Damn, I forgot about the children,” Blake muttered to himself.Feeling that they could take care of themselves, he didn’t share Claire’s worry and knew of Consuela’s strength.“Michael, when we get there, watch over the children as well,” Blake said.Michael looked at Blake in the back of the car with surprise.“Your children will be there as well?” Michael asked.He had little time to know the children and didn’t know their powers.“This will be a training lesson for them,” Blake replied and left it like that.‘A training lesson? Who sends their children into a battle as a training lesson?’ Michael thought to himself.Not long after, they arrived at their destination and parked alongside Consuela, who was waiting outside the car with the children inside, anxiously wanting to help. Blake exited the car and met with Consuela.“Yo
When the rest of the children left, only Blake was in his seat, and Miss. Price was behind her desk looking at the work they had submitted for the day. Blake patiently waited while Miss. Price looked over some of the work, then placed the papers down and looked at the youth in front of her sternly.“Blake, Elon.” Miss. Price said rather coldly.“Yes. Miss. Price?” Blake asked.“It’s come to my attention that you are to commence in a fight after school?”“No, Miss. Price.” Blake replied, making her eye twitch that he would lie in front of her so blatantly.“Are you lying? It’s been traveling in the school that Jerold has challenged you behind the gym. Are you denying this?” Miss. Price asked.“No. Miss Price. It’s as it’s been said. Jerold does want to fight behind the gym.” Blake said.“Then why lie and tell me no when I asked you.” Miss Price asked, flustered over the conversation.“I replied to your question about whether I was going to fight. I replied no because I had no intention
Gloria frowned and was about to move to help Blake with her wind powers.“Stop! What are you doing? We are in school.” Blake stopped Gloria.“What? I wanted to help you dust off.” Gloria said, pouting her displeasure at him stopping her.“Not in school. We can’t show our powers so easily. Jerold is already calling us freaks.” Blake said, looking sternly at her.“Hey, what’s the hold-up? I’m hungry.” A voice came behind them, and a young boy with brown hair and almost the same features as Blake arrived, along with another girl with long black hair.“That’s all you ever think of is food, Kyle,” Gloria said. “Blake was bullied again.”“Isn’t that the third time this week?” Lacey asked with a soft voice.“Fourth, if you include what he did in class by tripping Blake when he went to do the math problem,” Olivia stated.“Come on, let’s go and eat,” Blake said as he led the four others into the school cafeteria line.While they were waiting, Olivia inched her way closer to Blake. “Are you co
“I’ll be staying here as well,” Maia said with a gleam in her eye.“I don’t want you to go and do anything foolish.” Blake Prime said.“Don’t worry. I’ll watch her and the rest of the family well.” Blake three stated.“I’ll be returning to the Small World and increase my cultivation. The Syrum Syndicate has finally stabilized, and I can focus on my training.” Dynasty replied.“I can’t leave and need to tend to the baby, but Nancy, you should go into the Small World at least and continue cultivating,” Koran said, looking at Nancy, who had always stayed by her side.“No need. When you give birth, we will continue.” Nancy replied, looking like it didn’t matter whether she needed to cultivate or not.“I will return to the Small World as well.” Kelly Wheaton proclaimed, not giving a reason.“I’ll be following you then as well. I asked for a few days off from the precinct and said I would bring my level up.” Jill said, placing her arm around the youthful girl beside her.Then, all attention
“I’ll speak to Kilgore on this matter,” Jack said, sighing. This would also damage the family’s reputation. Using the Kilgore family and then kicking them out of the family was a great taboo in the Upper Realm. Who would trust such a family?“Talk, talk, talk, just go and kick his sorry ass to the street; I never liked that man, to begin with.” Roseline’s Grandfather stated this with a harumph to emphasize his discontent. “My Roseline was always too good for him.”Roseline sighed in relief. With her Grandfather here, she was surely going to dissolve her marriage to Robertson Kilgore, and then she would be free to pursue Blake with a clear conscience.“Come. Let Grandpa Harold have a look at you.” Grandpa Harold said with a kind smile at his Granddaughter.“Grandpa,” Roseline said, and she arrived before her Grandfather with a girlish smile.“Good, good. You’ve grown in your cultivation, to middle God Lord, not too shy from the peak if I don’t miss my guess.” Grandpa Harold proclaimed
“What? God Lord? Roseline, how could you be God Lord?” Rosleine’s Mother asked, surprised by this fact.“Not only God Lord but middle level. She is only one level under Robertson. How is this possible?” Roseline’s Father asked with suspicion in his eyes. “ Have you been removing the Origin Stones or Crystals without permission?”“Father, what Daughter to you take me as?” Roseline asked, feeling disappointed in her Father. Instead of praising her for her accomplishments, he accused her of stealing. “ You know I’m a Master Formations Master, I utilized an Origin gathering Formation.”Roseline had thought about how to explain her increase to her parents a long time ago when she witnessed Blake creating his Spirit Qi gathering Formation and was able to utilize it here in the Upper Realm. The Gathering Formation had been lost for generations, and no one could directly cultivate the Origin within the Upper Realm.“Impossible. That Formation has been lost for so long. How could you know of s
