Night of the Broken Gliph

Chapter 490

“This seed is a rare conceptualization of the Heavenly Realm, something Master thinks is most suitable for us. We only need to study it from time to time, and the style will automatically be formed in our minds.

“As the saying goes, ‘Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.’ Rather than giving us an incredible style, he gives us hints and teaches us to face the Heavenly Realm directly, helping us to create the best, most invincible style for ourselves.

“It’s just like a personal gliph; the one that fits you the most will have the most impact.”

Chui Yim and Kam Chin Kee were deep in thought and roughly understood what was going on.

“If you believe that the seed will be an extremely powerful offensive style, it will be one. On the other hand, it will be an incredible defensive style if you believe it to be.” Sung Tsz Hin smiled.

“Just as I’ve said previously, everything can be a path that leads to the same destination, all that matters is your selection. Do you understand me now?”

Chui Yim and Kam Chin Kee had completed the Seven Cleansings.

However, the outside world was not as peaceful as Cloud Palace. Chui Yim and Kam Chin Kee being successfully chosen left the world in a ruckus.

After they disappeared from the mysterious outer sect of Cloud Palace, the worn-out temple that used to be a school was now an actual rundown temple. The classrooms to house the students were nowhere to be seen, including the old cleaner. There was nothing left in the temple except fallen leaves.

All who had the intention of finding out where exactly Cloud Palace returned empty-handed.

Chui Yim and Kam Chin Kee had disappeared from the public’s eyes, but they were not forgotten. Chui Yim’s name could still be heard everywhere.

One of the shocking news that involved the teenage boy was that grass-refining grandmaster Choh Hang Sang announced he was now the disciple of Cloud Palace's seventh teacher, Chui Yim, and was learning weapon refining.

Choh Hang Sang gained fame long ago. In the world’s eyes, he and Fung Seung were on par, but many grass refiners knew that Choh Hang Sang was better.

This was the reason why Fung Seung hated Choh Hang Sang.

Yet Choh Hang Sang, a grandmaster, just became the disciple of a fourteen-year-old boy? Yes, Chui Yim was the seventh teacher of Cloud Palace, but this entire situation was absurd. It was said that Fung Seung spent his entire night laughing and mocking Choh Hang Sang after hearing the news.

Some were upset by this piece of news, such as Chau Ling. He was already upset at how he had to admit that a teenage boy had surpassed him in forging, and half a month later, that boy was now his grand master.

Not only Chau Ling, most of the public couldn’t accept this fact.

The Grandmaster Choh they respected and admired greatly had now become a teenager’s disciple!? Even if it was the seventh teacher of Cloud Palace, this still did not sit right with them.

Time flew past, and half a year later, the first weapon made by weapon refining came into the world. It was a grade three weapon from the famous Straw Hut, and it was being auctioned at the Black Tortoise auction house. There were rumours that it was left in the charge of the seventh teacher’s friend, the new star of the business world – Chau Chung.

Chau Chung took this job seriously and even compared this grade three weapon to Choh Hang Sang’s earlier grade three weapons through secret channels. The results showed that this weapon was thirty percent stronger than the previous weapons!

Some sneered at the result. How can you accurately compare it with Grandmaster Choh’s previous works? He would have definitely improve across the years. 

No matter what, Chui Yim’s name was still greatly heard.

However, this was not the most shocking news.

The most shocking news would be how the seventh teacher Chui Yim and Princess Ming Sum were childhood playmates, and he had kidnapped the princess into Cloud Palace and took her in under the name of being an assistant!

This was a bombshell thrown on the world!

There were even rumours that Northern Young Master Yeung was flabbergasted to hear this piece of news. “This kid… he’s bold and fearless!”

It was also said that at Blazing Skies Mountain located in the far north, the Mung Clan’s Mung Si shut herself in her room after hearing this.

The storytellers in the inns were more than glad to have a story to tell. They overdid the story, and within a few months, it became the love story of a poor village boy and an abandoned princess, with storylines like sneaking into the palace late at night just to meet her…

Kam Chin Kee was not spared either. Because Lam Ming Sum entered Cloud Palace as his assistant, he was dragged into their “love story.” The storytellers were not upset when they first heard this, because now it became the story of two teachers becoming enemies over Princess Ming Sum.

Of course, these were just stories they made up.

But this was the only way commoners could learn more about the cultivators beyond their reach, and it became a topic during tea time. It was as if by doing this, they had formed a connection with the superior cultivators and they were no longer commoners.

Since these were baseless rumours, clans and institutions paid no attention to them. They only cared about Kam Chin Kee and Chui Yim.

There were too many elites in this generation, but Chui Yim and Kam Chin Kee being the selected ones wasn’t that big of a deal to them for a few reasons.

One of them was that even after being taken in by Cloud Palace, Mung Si was still ranked first on the Blue Skies Rank, standing on top of all young talents. Many believed that Kam Chin Kee and Chui Yim were chosen instead of Yeung Tin Hun and Man Yee Ho because of their background, or rather their lack of one.

Thus, them becoming Cloud Palace disciples did not affect the political situation. If it was any other like Yeung Tin Hun, Man Yee Ho, or even Lee Bak, there would have been a huge impact on the politics of not just the South, but the entire world.

In summary, the results were somewhat out of their expectations, but the important figures loved it since…

Talents can only be considered talents if they manage to grow. Every leader was confident with their own talents.

Cloud Palace disciple? How advantageous would it be for them to defeat a Cloud Palace disciple? This was no different from defeating Cloud Palace itself!

Where there’s light, there’s darkness.

The darkest place on the planet was undoubtedly the mysterious Black Promise Tower.

It had always existed, it was just never discovered by the world.

This helped the necrocultivators survive for more than a thousand years despite being killed and hunted down en masse.

Currently, the Black Promise Tower was filled with battle intent and energy. They were holding their first Necrocultivator Competition!

They had stayed in the dark for so long that many older generation members of theirs had already forgotten how to fight, and they didn’t have the will to do so even if they remembered. But now, the competition pumped them up and helped them realise that their tribe was more powerful than they thought.
