《God Must Be Lazy He Allowed a Cultivation Anomaly》86. To Live is To Die
Advertisement
Kle In and Ver'a walked inside a fifty-meter long and ten meter-wide molded and dumpy hallway. At least every five meters are crystal orbs the size of a head placed on top of a cylindrical black metals standing on each sides of the hall. At the end of the hallway is an open area with Greater Kay'u Trees growing around a pond.
Ver'a threw the Mid Qi Crystals Kle In gave out earlier into the pond. After five minutes, the hall they passed by earlier became alive.
"You probably have less than an hour to study everything inside.” Vera said as he walked towards and entrance leaving Kle In alone.
Kle In placed his hand and inserted his Qi on one of the shining crystal orbs.
"To become a cultivator, one must be ready to kill for his ideals."
Ver'a did tell him that only cultivation techniques were recorded within this temple, but what he was looking for are cryptic hidden messages that may have been imbedded along the texts. Cultivation techniques is the heart of any family or Sect and should not be easily divulge, but Ver'a is willing to exchange them to improve their lineage.
Even Ver'a could not properly explain why they needed Re'y's seeds badly when Kle In asked earlier. He only said that elderly High Elvens develop a kind of instinct that would make them determine the perfect mates of their younglings.
After a few minutes, the lights emitted by the orbs started to dim and Kle In still found nothing. He still believes that Brung from a highly advance civilization should have had copies of his work hidden somewhere as a backup. Unless Ver'a lied about this temple having existed since ancient times.
Kle In extended his Qi to probe the area. He found out that the water supply of the pond comes from a natural spring and there at least six small holes where overflows are absorbed. He finally understood how the dissolved Qi Crystals powered the halls.

He took out one Spiritual Vein Model and submerged it near the spring. It did not take a minute for the entire pond to be filled with concentrated Spiritual Qi. Kle In then used his Qi to follow the directions of the overflowing water. He was astonished to find out that multiple gathering formations activated at the bottom of the mountain giving him a clear picture of the magnificent design of the training ground that spanned half a kilometer radius.
After reading the orbs again, he sat down in meditative position while his Qi is searching all over the area for any ancient hidden texts. After a few hours, he sighed in dejection.
While he was busy, at least twenty villagers were attracted to the unusual ripples of concentrated Spiritual Qi. Kle In did notice a few of them set up low leveled Isolation Formation but ignored them as he was fixated on looking for traces or clues Brung may have had left.
After another hour, Kle In finally gave up. He got up and started walking towards the entrance. He smiled at his own folly, unable to accept how reality played him and still clinging in hopes of a deluded fantasy of turning back time and undoing his mistake which even the proponent of the theory failed to accomplish.
Vera was waiting at the entrance.
"I wish to spend my remaining days in your village and I hope the Spiritual Vein is enough to compensate for any troubles I have caused and may bring."
Kle In flew back on the hill where he was initially brought to. Upon landing, he found Re'y near a bonfire with his offering. He extended his Qi to take a piece of cooked meat. He was attracted by the aroma of spice but upon taking a bite, he confirmed he truly lost the ability of taste besides bitterness and sweetness. Kle In took out a few spatial rings and a Spiritual Vein Model and handed them to Re'y.

"Those are the rings of the Nascent Soul experts whom I have killed. May you find them useful. I am not going anywhere and I hope to die here in peace.” Kle In explained as he handed a few more items and turned around.
Before Kle In could walk towards the dilapidated residence, Re'y kneeled with his forehead on the ground.
"I hope master can impart his techniques so I and my descendants can honor his legacy."
Kle In assumed Re'y was referring to his Failed Superman's Eyesight so he took out a paper and drew the Qi Nodes on the eyes and wrote instructions for circulation.
“I once asked someone to circulate that technique and did not see the same image as I did, but when you find one who can, they will naturally understand how the world works. Do not disturb me unless you bring extracts of Rabi'y Violet Orchid”
Kle In slowly walked towards the residence on the hill illuminated by moonlight. When Ver'a handed him the bottle of Greater Kay'u essence, he was tempted to drink it on the spot but now he wondered if there is even a sense to continue living now that he has lost his taste. Extending his life for another ten years is definitely a sound choice but living as a loathsome beast makes him rather choose death and liberate himself of this misery.
Since this residence contains books and valuable knowledge, he plans to write down his own biography to describe his short life and how he acquired power in exchange of his life. Knowledge is power and whoever may chance upon his biography may find some use for it. He decided to read everything first before sealing them back with his own pages. Kle In took a random book from the far edge of the shelf and opened it to the first page.
"My name is Avur, eighth patriarch of Mur clan. I have lived for more than nine hundred years and although I have a more than fifty years more to live, I decided to have that damnable jellyfish implanted in me. Before you, future patriarchs of Mur clan judge or think that I am a member of that crazy Ul Al'iya clan, I want you to understand that I am doing this to preserve our heritage.
The Spiritual Vein that has been supporting our clan for thousands of years has begun showing signs of decadence. The continued outburst of Black Qi infested beasts disrupted the balance of the world preventing births of Spiritual Veins. The following pages will cite my experiences as to how I have achieved Nascent soul at an early age, together with encounters I had with rare and unknown beasts and how I defeated or sealed them.
As a patriarch, your focus should be the preservation of our clan. Although everyone laughs at the idea that I will reborn as a Spiritual Vein after thousands of years, I am still doing it even if the chance is close to impossibility or even if it is just a myth. Call me crazy but at least not as crazy as your first patriarch who thinks he can turn back time. Seriously, who wants to live again and bicker with his wife for six hundred years and meddle into some stupid brats' altercations? I will break that nutcase's head if I meet him in the afterlife.
Don't forget to plant and nurture Tagtaga. It will help you appease your needs in bed when you get older.

AOT: Boats
I know, the title doesnt seem to make sense. Its an acronym. For what? Hm. T means True. Up to you otherwise. Oh, right. The acronym actually does have an impact on one of the themes of the "story". At the same time I mixed it up with a reference to the original plan for this when I started, so yay. A double. Well, actually, a triple. Again, up to you. I should also mention that, as the rhyme that starts the story probably tells you, its gonna get kinda disturbing. All kinds of disturbing. Just to let you know.

Dauntless: Origins
Snow white hair, blue eyes, pale. Devil, monster, mutt, failure.This story follows one Tyr Faeron, crown prince, heir primus and mass murderer. A wrathful, angry, and lost young man that has made it his goal to hunt down the men that killed his mother - and he is on the cusp of finishing the promise he'd made before her cairn stones so many years ago. On the surface he is duplicitous, whimsical, and base of cunning - but within the depths beyond the many masks he wears, something is waiting. Waiting for an end, the end he'd come to long for, whether it be to himself or any possible threats in his vicinity. After that long labor of vengeance is completed... Nobody knows, not even him - an arrogant and otherwise solitary individual with nothing in the way of friends - only the brothers of the blackguard who follow him through life as he pursues this mission. He was born a prince, but he'd be called a disappointment - failing to manifest the great power that he was born to before being summarily discarded by his father, a 250 year old 'primus'. That word again... Men who can shatter mountains and level cities, that's what he was supposed to be. Some call them demi-gods, all Tyr sees is a poor excuse for a parent. Time had made him bitter, cruel, and arguably psychotic - seeing only enemies wherever he looks. They'd come for him, too, one day - to wipe the slate clean and make room for another - and it's his conviction to ensure that he dies while taking as many of those rats with him. This is a story about finding acceptance, growth, and understanding - from the point of view of a cold and brutal individual who wears many masks. Of someone who was born to be the greatest emperor the eastern continent has ever seen - but he failed in that. Strong, yes, but only in the context of a man - Tyr's magic is weak. His convictions are weak. He has been made a beast of instinct by loss and a constant confronting of his own impotency in the face of his father. A mythos that stretches across planes, of magic, a pantheon of cruel gods. Of someone who's dedicated his entire mind to the art of killing a man, and none to living a normal childhood or coming to understand friendship, empathy, or compassion. The first five years of his life a mystery, a hole none have ever been willing to fill, leaving him warped and twisted. His formative years gone and what must've been most of his humanity along with it. Now 17, he is on the cusp of leaving the city he'd never been permitted to leave for what might be the first time in his life. Always searching, though he won't know what for, for some time. An episodic that follows experience and symbolism rather than a never ending series of battles - where the conflict lay in constantly searching for wholeness in lieu of great villains or heroes. This is where it all started, the origin, the tale told a million times - and yet it hadn't been, 'reality' is tricky like that. The greatest lie ever told by the tongue that speaks is that any of this was real at all.
