Chapter 122: No Money
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The burning sight disappeared into a chill, making the rest of them shiver. Not only did they experience physical chills, even their hearts felt chilly along with itching scalps and stiffened joints.
Perhaps only the Mahayala cultivators in this realm could shield themselves from the Fiery Nebula to pass through, but it would not be as easy. Daji not only shielded them from the Fiery Nebula, she froze them with a point of a finger?
What realm was this?
This was definitely the skill of an Immortal!
They viewed Daji differently from before. The four of them instinctively took a step away from her.
Qin Manyun looked at the sight with disbelief. “Wasn’t the bridge to Immortality broken? How…”
The highest cultivating realm in this Immortal Realm was Mahayala—everyone knew that. There had been no known cases of anyone becoming an Immortal for countless years.
And yet, Daji’s ability was definitely an Immortal’s. So…the bridge to Immortality was not broken?
And…why was Daji not immortalized?
Qin Manyun’s thoughts were everywhere. She could not make sense of things.
Seeing how confused she seemed, Daji said, “There’s no difference between an Immortal and an ordinary man to master. It’d be foolish to determine a master’s thinking using ordinary logic.”
Qin Manyun instantly understood and thought she was silly for thinking otherwise.
Indeed. Who was Li Nianfan? To him, the ordinary and Immortal realms were similar places.
With that, everyone left the deck and went into their rooms. However, it was a sleepless night for most of them.
The next day.
It was almost noon when the skyship emerged from the clouds and proceeded to land in a completely new world.
Li Nianfan stood on the deck with the others, looking down from above. He could see a green world below him. Under the shade of countless green trees were ponds and mountains. Some mountains were joined with one another while some proudly stood alone.

Looking down from the deck, one could see countless lights passing by as more and more cultivators appeared. Some were flying in ships while others simply flew in the air. From time to time, some cultivators would turn to look at the skyship in awe—wearing the look of an ordinary man meeting a billionaire. This was especially so when they saw the group of people standing on the deck.
Was there an ordinary man standing in the middle? The cultivators were surrounding an ordinary man? Could this be a lowkey bigshot in disguise?
Chills went down their spines as they recalled rumors about the fetishes of some bigshots. For example, those who would try to conceal their identity and live like ordinary men. This was probably it!
It seemed that they should be wary and treat ordinary men with more respect, just in case it was an expert in disguise!
The skyship continued to fly past countless forests and mountains. Finally, a massive high tower appeared in front of it.
The high tower was built on a mountain that was different from the rest. The bottom half of the mountain was a forest while the upper half was barren and flat as if it was shaved off.
Even so, this mountain was still the tallest among the rest. The flat surface naturally became a high tower—massive and eye-catchingly huge!
Most interesting of all was the valley beside this tall mountain. It was deep and had black soil without a single trace of grass!
The shaved-off mountain and this weird-looking valley created a unique sight. This left Li Nianfan in awe, amazed by this wonderful Immortal Realm. He had seen more of the world during this trip!
Without having to be told, Li Nianfan knew that they had reached their destination. All the traveling lights headed in the direction of the high tower. The skyship slowed down and started to descend. Finally, they landed on the high tower as well.

Qin Manyun said, “Mr. Li, we’re here.”
Li Nianfan nodded and walked off the skyship with the others. Once he stepped off the skyship, he felt a warm breeze blowing at him, making him feel at ease. Looking around, he was standing on the tall mountain. He had a different view from the skyship—it was more down to earth. The sight from above made one feel tiny.
The high tower was flat as a mirror, paved with special tiles. It was like a massive square. It was crowded with cultivators as well as ordinary men for the event. Some even found empty spaces to set up their stalls.
Both the cultivators and ordinary men were selling things from their stalls. Although they were selling different things, Li Nianfan was amused by the sight of it.
Other than the stalls, there were a variety of shops on the tower. Their decorations and designs made it seem like a big city!
“With the support of Azure Ville, this place is developing well!” the Holy Emperor remarked with a look of admiration.
As the emperor of the Ganlong Immortal Dynasty, he hoped for his Dynasty to flourish as well.
Luo Shiyu nodded in agreement. “Yes. I remember a hundred years ago, there was nobody around here. Who’d have thought that in merely a hundred years, it’d look so different!”
“Nobody dared to visit the Azure Villa due to its close proximity to the entrance of the Demon Realm.” Qin Manyun continued, “But now, the Lord of Azure Ville is a powerful man, the man who’s hosting the Azure Demon Lockdown Grand Ceremony. He’s indeed very impressive!”
Li Nianfan nodded beside them. The Lord of Azure Ville was able to turn the tide and develop this once-empty land into a prosperous one. He was indeed a successful man!
As they walked along the street, the blending of cultivators and ordinary men made Li Nianfan feel welcomed.
Meanwhile, he stopped in front of a tall, well-built building. He looked up to see a big signboard that said ‘Immortal Guest House’.
This building was built by the side of the square and was at least ten floors tall in height. None of the other buildings were taller than this which gave this building a very good view from above.
Regardless if one were to dine or stay there, it would be a luxurious experience.
Li Nianfan could not help but remark, “Immortal Guest House. I’m guessing this must be a place for cultivators to rest and dine?”
“Not really. Anyone can stay there as long as they have Spiritual Stones.” Qin Manyun seemed to have understood Li Nianfan’s deeper meanings. She said in excitement, “Actually, I’ve made a reservation there for us. So, please, feel free to go in.”
Li Nianfan frowned slightly before he shook his head. “I bet prices there aren’t cheap. I can’t let you pay for it. Is there a place for ordinary men to stay in?”
He was inconsiderate this time. Of course, one needed money during a vacation!
He had no money. What could he do?

Blood Demon's Retirement
Civil War had raged on the Al-Shan Archipelago for the past four decades, only recently coming to an end with the enthronement of the new Emperor. This is not his story. The Blood Demon, renowned general of said civil war, was tired of all the fighting and politicking that had described the last four decades of her existence. All she really wanted to do now is to go out into the world and see the many lands from her father's stories. Thus she retired, and went and did exactly what she wanted. This is the story of what happens when you toss a (retired) war machine with somewhat lacking common sense into an unsuspecting world at peace. Chapters will range from 1-2.5k words, scheduled for release every day from Monday to Friday. First time posting a story on Royal Road here, hoping you folks will enjoy. Expect: -slow going slice of life with occassional faster paced action -world building -detailed anecdotes on the world, its races, the magic system, and whatnot every now and then Do not expect: -romance, other than maybe some passing mentions -politics, again, barring passing mentions Any comments, reviews, and criticism will be much appreciated. And thank you for reading. ---------------------------- Disclaimer: This story is my original work and only posted on the Royal Road and Scribblehub websites. If you should find this story elsewhere or under another name, please let me know. Also please don't be too hard on me when I make occasional grammatical mistakes, English is my third language after all. XD Edit suggestions are very welcome though. Discord

But his quest through the hostile post-apocalyptic terrain turns deadly when a roadside raider attack sees him captured by a terrifying matriarchal clan. Stranded in dangerous territory, Jamie’s jaw drops when he discovers his ex among their numbers.

This story has been published, but I'm adding it here for Royal Road readers to enjoy.

BladeMage
Arenya Azural, a dragon-blooded farmer from a small town in the middle of nowhere, always dreamed of being a great hero, battling demons and monsters as a force of magic and power. Now her dream has a chance to become reality - she's a new student at Ba'al Cedric's Academy of Adventurers, a university for warrriors and heroes to learn to battle against the surprisingly amicable demon armies of the neighboring country in an endless war nobody really remembers the point of by now. She's also a BladeMage - an exceedingly rare and exceedingly difficult dual class that few have ever managed to succeed in, but those who have gain immense power. Arenya has a long road ahead of her, with rival students, duels with demons, and a host of benchmarks she must pass in order to keep her scholarship. Will she make it to level 100 and beyond, or die too many times and be forced to return home, tail (literally) between her legs to a life of farming and dreaming of adventure? BladeMage is a LitRPG with a lighter focus on stats. It features battles, leveling up, giant monsters, a bit of fanservice, and more. [Update: The LitRPG elements are proving themselves relatively unimportant as I continue to write. They may be dropped entirely, in which case I will change the prior chapters as well as update this description.] Content warnings: As a story featuring lots of fighting, there will be blood and death. However, since characters rarely die permanently, this will not be a hyperviolent story with extreme gore for the sake of it. Some sexual content and fanservice may be included, but this should remain firmly at the PG-13 level and there will be no sexual violence of any kind. The Cover: Someone suggested that I should have a dragon girl with a miniskirt on the cover. I can't draw and I don't know who to ask or commission, so a few minutes in the GNU Image Manipulation Program and the masterful cover above was created! Please feel free to use your imagination to see a gorgeous half-dragon with azure hair, wings, and a tail, holding a lightning-infused sword while fighting demons.
