Cultivation is never easy

Zax was quietly following Zetsa and Tularg as they crossed the boundary between Kingdom Earth and Valgarel.
Though he just arrived from Eden Formation and not long ago departed, yet again, to Valgarel, his mind was already trying to conceive the right words for when he will return and meet Anet again. He realized too late that leaving promptly as he did was a rush decision, but when the notion of returning to part with Anet in a more friendly manner came to his head, he immediately discarded it due to a gut feeling.
' ... Forget it!' He attempted to sound tough with himself and strenuously forced the blast of newly acknowledged, first time affection toward the opposite sex, to a corner in his sea of consciousness, where it will not hinder his performances in the event that his big sister's Master would test him. 'I'll see her when I'll return, and if she is okay with me then ... I'll ask her for a date'. The last thought made his heart pump again and the inner flames of youth flushed his face. The notion of going out, intimately, with a girl was fashioned from the little Zax knew of the next step of when a boy and a girl like each other.
"Are you feeling unwell, Zax?" Of the leading two, the one to ask was Zetsa. By calling her little brother by his name, she unintentionally gave away that although she and Zax reached an understanding of his mistakes and the latter apologized, she was not completely over his transgressions.
Next to Zetsa, at close proximity, was Tularg. His human complexion was pale since he finished treating Liz with his mist energy and other than the route to his Master's cave he seemed devoid of even the presence of his two companions.
"Eh ... Yeah, big sis". Zax replied with a node and swallowed his stutter. As for divulging his feelings, he chose otherwise. His goal was to avoid the subject until the appropriate time.
Zax eyes gazed upon the blond, blue jumpsuit man, Tularg. He assumed that his current weakened state was correlated to the thing he did to his baby sister with his mist energy. "Big sis, is Martial brother Tularg okay?" He asked in a small voice,
"Let him be", Zetsa answered. "In a few days he'll sober up".
"And Liz, is what he done to her will make her feel bad or something?" Zax asked just in case.
When Zax got back home he checked his baby sister again after Tularg finished treating her. Her Qi channels were three times sturdier and wider than originally and the results of the body's refinement caused her skin the glow like a precious gemstone. That was Zax's assessment as per with his initial observation of Liz. Afterwards, Zetsa urged him to say his goodbye to their parents and depart before he could deduce anything further.
"Martial uncle did not teach you what is Cultivation Inheritance, am I right?"
'Cultivation Inheritance?' Zax thought. "No".
"Well, then I'll explain. Cultivation Inheritance is an innate boon that only Zhihui and Chaoyue beasts that broken through the Core Master realm can bestow. It is a fusion of the most potent blood and richest mist that a beast cultivated, which can only be passed on once in a lifetime to whomever the beast chooses. Someone who receives a Cultivation Inheritance will go through various transformations in a short period of time. When we left, those changes were already apparent on Liz, though the external ones are only temporarily visible. In a few weeks, Liz will recover her normal appearance and with Martial brother Tularg's Cultivation Inheritance, her potential in Martial cultivation should quadruple".
"So much?" Zax was astounded. Learning of this unique trait that only selected beasts have, also contributed to his amazement. "Something so valuable that can only be given once ... Martial brother Tularg's connection to Liz is through us, could this be enough for him to give her such a gift that he could, instead, bequeath to his children? Even if he doesn't have children, he could still give his Cultivation Inheritance to an apprentice..."
"I, too, did not expect him to suddenly give away his Cultivation Inheritance". Zetsa admitted. "Regrettably, Zax, for a beast to give his or her sole Cultivation Inheritance isn't the real consequences". Zetsa said and pulled some distance from Tularg. "The Cultivation Inheritance of a beast is linked to the beast's ability to reproduce. By giving away his Cultivation Inheritance, Martial brother Tularg has relinquished any possibility of having his own line of descendancy in the future".
Not to mention Zax, even Zetsa was baffled with Tularg's decision. She knew where it came from, but could not support it despite it benefiting her little sister. The price was truly too great.
'Martial brother Tularg... ' Zax stared at Tularg's back with a profound expression. He had no idea why Tularg made such a huge sacrifice for Liz's sake. He gathered his thoughts in an attempt to understand what goes on inside of Tularg's head right now, rather than pondering why he gave Liz his Cultivation Inheritance.
"If I knew that Martial brother Tularg has given up all hopes of reuniting with his clan, I would not have agreed to let him stay as our escort and let him get close to Liz". Zetsa displeasingly murmured. She frowned and for a moment seemed to have taken Tularg's decision personally. She recalled that before explaining the situation to Zax, she was not as angry and now that she was, it was not because of her little brother's query, but due to a recollection of a debt she would probably never be able to pay back.
"Me escorting you two, was never your decision to make, big sister Zetsa". Finally, Tularg voiced his thoughts, a thought, and joined the conversation. "Little brother Zax. Forget about the Cultivation Inheritance. This, for once, was a decision that only I could make and I don't regret it. Also, in the future I'll make Liz my apprentice, so not everything is loss". Despite his feeble state, Tularg's response was followed by a hearty laugh.
I am a farmer of fertile Kansas fields, considered by most to be a kind man with a welcoming smile. A pillar of the small farming community I call home, an elder at my church, and decent enough looking that women have commented on it over the years, particularly my blue eyes, which contrast with my weathered skin, I guess. I always choose my words carefully with men and women alike, and I like to think I am polite to a fault. I rarely touch wine or spirits. “Treat others as you would be...
Fantasy & Sci-FiAfter a long drive you're finally here, your grandfather’s manor. An old house built in a Victorian style. He left it to you in his will along with most of his estate. You have no idea why, you did not get along with him particularly well. Hell he had a far better relationship with your father and brothers, yet they only received a portion of his wealth. It was in the millions each. Apparently grandpa had far more money than realised and he left most of it to you. This as you can imagine did...

This is an updated version of this story that follows the fortunes of a young boy who is cruelly tortured by two wicked women during the closing stages of Queen Victoria's reign in 1898. This story was known as Aunt Roberta's Ward but someone with a similar storyline has objected and it has been changed to the more appropriate title of The Inheritance. I have taken the opportunity to clean up the story, removing many grammatical and spelling mistakes. Elaine E-mail:...

IncestYou still feel a little numb after your long meeting with the lawyer late yesterday afternoon. This has to be some kind of twisted joke. Why would Uncle Dave leave his entire estate to me? I never even remember meeting him, and everyone in the family always told me what a horrible person he was, even if they wouldn't give me details. "Forget about him, he's a pervert and a narcissist. We're all better off without him around," I remember my dad saying to me one day when I asked about my Uncle....
The Inheritance Caterpillar Girl Francesca looked over the letter her grandmother had left her in her will and read it to her husband, Eddie. Eddie shook his head at what he was hearing and responded, "I didn't know she was that gone." "Yes, she always seemed to have her wits about her," Francesca added as she shook her head at the letter she was holding. "So she thought this was a magic wand?" Eddie asked as he pulled the wand out of the box his wife's grandmother had left...
"How trite." Millicent said to herself as she entered the lobby of the high-rise she called home. "Trust daddy to not only hire a maid from Sweden, but to actually knock the bitch up!

The eighteen year old beauty shook her head as she entered the elevator and waited for the doorman to use his key to select the penthouse level. "You're certainly looking lovely today, Miss Conner." The middle aged lackey said as he...
When he said that the file had all the details, Will wasn’t kidding. The summary he’d first handed me had just four items on it: Instant Access Accounts, Investment Accounts, Bonds, and Company Shares. The rest of the file was divided into those four categories and contained statements for each different account and details of all the companies that I now held shares in. The list of companies was as surprising as it was fascinating. In all, I owned shares in fifty different companies. Most...
Ki Jung uses her all her senses to avoid animals larger than a squirrel. She does not limit it to predators. Even large herbivores must be considered dangerous.

The hammock will be better than sleeping on the ground, but she straps the Tanto to her forearm for...
I remember meeting him only a few times in my life and that was when I was only nine or ten years old. Uncle Ted seemed like a pretty decent guy with a good sense of humour and I got along with him as well as a ten year old kid gets along with an adult he only sees occasionally, but I remember my mother and father always cutting him down after he had left. They talked about him as being a misfit, someone who was always just a little strange. Just the same I found him to be okay. Perhaps I...

VoyeurAmanda was always stopping in to the office unannounced. Not that I minded. I was a bit of a pushover for the girl. Whenever she wanted anything, however trivial, she could usually find a way to convince me to release the funds for it. She could be a real brat. A sweet little brat, but a brat nonetheless. There was a certain look that she would give me that always made me melt. No, not a pleading sort of look. A girl like Amanda didn't have to play for sympathy. It was a confident, cocky...

With a sigh she tucked herself further into her coat, trying to avoid the light snowfall as she fumbled with her keys.

She had no idea what the other ten did,...
FantasyMax Berton was a nerd. He was too tall for his weight, 6' 9" and only 160 pounds, making him very lanky. His idea of fun was playing Dungeons and Dragons via the internet.

Mind ControlIt's late into the night when Alvin awakes drenched in his own sweat. Thinking that it must be a sudden fever or cold, he thinks it's best to go pour a glass of water and run his temperature. But as he moves his body, he feels an intense itch between his thighs. Which forces him to stop moving from the overwhelming amount of ecstasy he feels as a result of even the slightest movement. At this moment, he understands the situation. There was no illness, he was just extremely horny. Taking one of...

BDSMPrologueThe man replaced his pen in the holder and turned from the aged mahogany desk with a satisfied expression on his face. Leaning back in the leather chair he slid it smoothly from under the desk and watched as the naked young man with him fetched a neat scotch from the decanter on a side table. As he’d done before too many times to count, the aging man couldn’t help admiring the youth’s beautiful body as he moved gracefully to the table. It was hard to imagine he was much older than...

FantasyEdited by the incomparable “Wires”. His assistance improves my work drastically. I appreciate all he does for me. Jason Lowery IV moved quietly down the hallway that connected ‘the children’s wing’ to the rest of the house. He snorted when he thought that.

It had a split bedroom design with the master on one end of the house and the...
Having taken stock of how much of my life was being consumed by the farming end of things, I desired to become a gentleman farmer with more emphasis on the gentleman than the farmer. I had a slab poured near the second barn sized for a two bedroom pre-fabricated house with an attached garage. I made certain that it was a high-end model, not trash that would fall apart in five years. I had it furnished, the kitchen supplied and appropriate linens purchased for the place. I advertised for a...
From the open door, Dusty stepped into the room.”I am containing the Dai.” The living dust cloud flowed like a sand storm around me and engulfed both Dai. The Dustcloud said.”Captain, they are riding on electromagnetic waves. They infiltrated us as we set the shields transparent for radio waves.” Both Dai looked like living statues. Now Orthbeer passed through the deck plating. I could not hear what he was trying to say, then he came closer and closer and his greenish hand passed into my...
“This is merely the fourth space mission. Yes, it was more successful than the second and third, but the yield remains beneath our preliminary estimation”. A redheaded, bulky, brown skinned man in a dark blue suit argued. Beside him, several of the good men and women concurred with his point. “We recalculate and reevaluate our expectation after each mission”. The short Noel Maxim countered. “The results were almost identical in the second and third missions. Adding the fourth mission’s...
My opinion of the Prince was somewhat modified, however, by my next encounter with Doctor Julian. The following day I received a telegram from Castwich asking me to meet him at a London address. Fearing that some difficulty had arisen as a result of the previous evening's excursion, I was happy to oblige him. Helena was less than happy at the prospect of a protracted stay in her cage but judicious application of a series of blows from one of my thinner canes, coupled with the introduction...
The Emir and Crown Prince Gamal were travelling together, which was unusual, in the Emir's private 747 on the way back from a trip to Monte Carlo. The chauffeur delegated to collect them at the Kobek International Airport was a little over-enthusiastic and raced along the runway after the 'plane. Air Traffic Control spotted it and panicked. The military also panicked and ordered the pilot to take off again, fearing an assassination attempt. The pilot did his best, but was short of room and...
Not for the first time, and most likely not for the last time either, you are equal parts grateful and resentful of the job your aunt provided you with. The pay was rather generous, and it was far from the worst line of work to find yourself in, but you certainly didn't have any drive or ambition to move up in the coffee-house industry. After one last inventory check, you'd be done for the day. If your sister didn't have anything planned after school, you'd see if there was something the both...

Her Aunt Miranda, a lesbian herself and her best friend Katie Johnson, on whom she had developed a secret crush, she would have been alone in her...
FantasyJames walked into his guild master office and sat down at his round table. Already seated and waiting for him was his other 5 sins, the 5 Ghosts and what he was referring to as a knight in his own mind. He felt a profound sense of happiness as he surveyed his people. The sins were the foundations of the brotherhood. Goliath of Wrath, Jessy of Lust, Exsue of Envy, Fatty of Gluttony, Kelly of Sloth and himself, James of Pride. Unfortunately, they’d lost their greed thanks to the strange...
-The Lab- While Harvy and Skay busied themselves with the now unconscious Galtin on an operating table, James went to check on their new residents. He had intended for the two of them to come train with them today, but circumstances prevented him from properly inducting Fatty and figuring out what his deal was. Exsue, of course, had still been unconscious. To his surprise, they both appeared to be awake and were pacing around inside their rooms. The moment he opened the door to Fatty’s...
The award ceremony that night was brief and uneventful. Hundreds of prizes of various qualities were handed out. Thanks to the numerous deaths of competitors both during the main competition and the ranking matches, a great many factions managed to step into higher positions and receive rewards beyond their capability to earn. The ranking matches were mostly just for the purposes of filling all the positions from 1st to 26th, which were the only individuals to receive any compensation for...
“From what you just said you won’t necessarily be able to use our magic even with our knowledge and you can’t change your cultivation direction without becoming a commoner again. What exactly is it that you want from us?” James’ face was stern as he asked this. He knew the answer to this question could change everything. His so far easy journey into this world may come to a sudden obstruction. In this sense, he couldn’t help question if his luck at being discovered immediately on arrival was...
-Back at the Gateway site- “Argh ... it fuckin’ hurts.” A now very thin and sickly looking Fatty Alan crawled out of a small ditch at the field where no more than a few days ago James and his two companions had awoken. He stared at his surroundings and then at the starry night sky and then at his bloodied jumpsuit. The night was dark and moonless, which in this case was very unfortunate for Fatty, seeing as the two moons are usually always on opposing sides of the planet. Fatty, being no...
As the core of the Guild sat in the office, James finally opened his eyes. Unceremoniously wiping away the tear on his cheek, James willed it, and his guild seal appeared floating in front of him. Much to the surprise of the others, not only did the guild seal appear on the round table, so too did the incorporeal, ethereal form of Jasmine appear. She sat in a seizer position on the table and wore a flowing silk gown, making her only more enchanting than ever. That is, apart from the obvious...
-Tech City- Having spent the last two months sequestered away from the world doing forging, James returned to surface only to find that the city seemed to have once again started slowly expanding. With the restoration of the monolith, the city limits had been restored to tens of kilometres as opposed to its previous few kilometres. Thanks to that, the outskirts of the city now had people buying up land and building homes and businesses. Golden grain was once again filling fields off into...
The next two months, until the War of the Worlds, passed rather quickly for James. He spent most of his time training his combat and practising forging and alchemy. The incident with the mercenary army spread far and wide, and the tickets that had been bought up for the war of the world started to find their way onto the black market or disappeared from the hands of the smaller factions that had managed to nab one at auction. The two nations of Soel and Hastoel were starting to flare up even...
After a short time of cleaning up the lab, with James choosing to avoid contact with anything remotely suspicious looking, his body finally began to calm down and he and Skay returned to the courtyard. In the paved courtyard was a handful of odd gadgets like strange looking cameras and metal antennae on tripods, which seemed very poorly wired together with a mish-mash of bizarre electronics sticking out of them and connecting to a single advanced looking laptop on a wooden desk running some...
The arena was quiet and still. The growing invisible pressure was already at a staggering level. The spectators were sweating in expectation and excitement. It almost seemed that the viewers of this battle were even more anxious for it to start than the duo standing in the arena. James stood in a very relaxed manner, half facing Sword Girl, with his scimitar and pistol just dangling at the side. The Sword Girl lowered her stance with her left hand sitting on the sheath and the thumb touching...
Ascension Star is a planet with a circumference of nearly 300,000 km. For reference, the Earth sits at a comfortable little 40,000 km, and Saturn is about 380,000 km. To help you realise just how big that is, the surface area of earth is about 510 million km2. The surface area of Ascension blows it out of the water at a whopping 28.6 billion km2. Now for a new comparison, take New Zealand. It’s got a surface area of 260,000 km2. If the surface of the earth was covered in New Zealand’s, it...
The pervasive aura of death settled on the courtyard and everyone felt a shiver up their spine as if the grim reaper himself was standing behind them and lining up his scythe for the first and final swing. An ancient sounding and truly demonic voice rang out from Harvy as if evil itself was speaking through him from the underworld. “The Dark Lord rises on this pathetic mortal plane. You think yourselves powerful with cultivation and martial skills! But, you don’t realise you are but ants in...
With the discovery of soul Pressure and soul sense, James now had a whole new element to consider in regards to his cultivation training. With that in mind, he once again secluded himself away in the HQ building and spent the next month focused on understanding it more, finding a way to train and focus it and discovering how it tied into spirit energy. After meticulous experiments and training, he concluded that he could only touch the tip of the iceberg in regards to spirit aura. He went...
-Lost Village- Lost Village wasn’t actually lost, it would be more accurate to call it Forgotten by Everyone Village. The reason it’s called lost village was ironically lost to time and the some 500 odd residents didn’t particularly care what the town was called. It was quiet and out of the way, a good 25km from Gau City and within the influence of the monolith. As long as they joined the great harvest twice a year they could be paid a gold coin for every full wagon of grain they can...
-The Lab- When James awoke he dazedly looked at his surroundings. When he realised he was laying half naked on Skay’s questionable operating table he was instantly worried. As he made to climb up he quickly decided this was a bad idea as the pain in his chest and ribs flared. With a soft grunt he laid himself back down and quietly contemplated on his recent encounter. He came to realise two things. Firstly he needed power to live in this world. The fact that cultivators could just kill...
After a good sleep the trio of Dark Brotherhood’s founders met in the lab to find a perfectly ghoulish Harvy tidying up with Little Blue running around everywhere madly. The moment he saw James he ran up his leg and bit his arm. “Ahhh! You little shit!” Once he gave a response, Little Blue let go and started madly running around again. He’d clearly been terribly bored being ignored the last two days and wanted to play. James let out a sigh and against his better judgement tried to catch...
As the day dragged out into night James recorded each person’s breakthrough experience. What he quickly discovered was that anyone with an abstract element had a different experience. Instead of just coalescing a True Spirit, merging with it and then breaking the Barrier, they all suffered what they described as a tribulation. From earlier research on regular cultivators breaking through, James had learnt that it was all basically the same. When you create your spirit, it requires an...
-Tech City Spire- With 4 days left until the auction, things had been quickly ramping up in the city. More and more powerful cultivators were entering the city and with that influx was the increase of people taking advantage of the cities services. Namely, a lot of people were trying their hand at the Spire or at the Arena. On this day, James had been busy trying to ascend to the 22nd level of the tower when he got a coms from Jasmine. “James, it would appear that a new contender has...
In this nameless world, almost anything is possible from Gods to dragons or even a horde of goblins attacking cities. This world is ruled by cultivators who can be categorized into two classes on the most basic level, warriors and mages, both of those have nine levels of strength from a one-star warrior to a nine-star warrior. A one-star warrior can kill ten regular soldiers with little effort. All these skills and powers come from spirit energy that flows freely everywhere throughout the...
FantasySeeing he’d managed to work up a response from James with that little play his subordinate just acted out, Artimus smiled and placed his tea on the ground next to his seat then crossed his legs and eyed James. “It’s rather simple James. You’ve only been here for 3 or 4 months, and you’re already achieved so much. You’re already running a city in my empire, you and your 3 companions have already stepped into true spirit realm 10 times faster than even the quickest cultivators in the entire...
-Dragon Vault- Deep in the underground of a world that spanned the distance of countless suns, lay a vast expansive cave network. This cave network stretched out and crisscrossed through the entire planet. It had caves as big as the entire planet of Ascension. In a shallow part of this cave system, far and distant from any other underground caves, was a relatively tiny cavern. This cave spanned only a few hundred kilometres and was carved entirely from a shiny black rock. In the centre of...
