The octopus Envoy led Jack to the back of the Dao Chamber, to one of two normal-looking steel doors. They didn’t lead to Dao rooms, like most other doors here, but just to a different part of the building. Her tentacle turned the knob, revealing a wide but short room.

Also, the omnibus for my Twelfth Cataclysm series came out today. It includes the entire trilogy at 33 audio hours. It's not my latest work, but it's similar in style to this one so check it out if you enjoy Road to Mastery (or if you just TRUST and SUPPORT.)

Brock strolled through the Cathedral. From the dark and lonely place it had been three months ago, it remained dark, but now he had his bros. Like always, brohood permeated the hearts of people, and the good ones stood out.
It made him proud of his Big Thought.
Now, it was time f...
2024-01-20 17:36:01 +0000 UTC View Post“Jack!” Vivi was a blur as she rushed into Jack’s arms, embracing him tightly. He laughed, easily enduring her tackle. “I missed you…” she muttered.
“I missed you too,” he replied. “I’m glad I came back.”
“And you’re so strong, too! Did you reach the C-Grade?...
2024-01-19 17:36:01 +0000 UTC View Post“I admit defeat…”
As soon as Marcus’s words rang out, the crowd erupted into chaotic cheers. The entire Cathedral shook from their voices.
“What a battle!” Osmu Sosmu shouted, waving his fist in the air. “Go Jack!”
“Go Jack!” others echoed. Compared to this, ...
2024-01-18 17:36:01 +0000 UTC View Post“What is a duel without betting some Dao stones?” Marcus asked, his lips curving. “I’m thinking a small amount. Thirty?”
The surrounding people instantly shot him disgusted looks. In their eyes, he was already going too far by challenging Jack from five tiers higher—adding a bet...
2024-01-17 17:36:01 +0000 UTC View PostSmall edit change: Marcus William, if you remember him, is actually ranked 281, not 181.
Enjoy!

The new bro army was hanging out at the fields around Jack’s cabin. Some of them had brought drinks, others carried snacks, while a few more spent their time meditating.

After breaking through, Jack felt immense power pooling within his body, almost begging him to stand up and release it. He remained seated, enjoying this feeling, an excited smile playing on his lips.
He couldn’t wait to go out and show Brock—but first, he wanted...

As the flowers bloomed, a tremendous power reached into Jack’s soul, completely disregarding any and all defenses, and whisked him away.
Jack found himself in a space he’d only seen once before. He was surrounded by nothingness. A large...
2024-01-13 17:36:00 +0000 UTC View PostJack’s Dao Tree erupted. All its restrained energy was released at once. The Dao Roots below it roared, the Life Drop glowed brilliant, and the entire Dao of the Fist heralded the arrival of a new lord.
Below the tree’s base was Jack’s Dao Seed surrounded by his four Dao Roots—these...
2024-01-12 17:36:23 +0000 UTC View PostRank 675… Jack Rust!
Everyone was stunned. They forgot to react. It took a few moments for these C-Grade cultivators to believe what they were seeing, and then the entire crowd erupted as one!
675! What sort of concept was that?
D-Grades shouldn’t even be able to enter the G...
2024-01-11 17:36:01 +0000 UTC View PostJack’s fists were burning. His heart swam with passion, his eyes wide open in extreme focus.
His punch shot forward. An effective strength of almost five thousand carried it onto the shadow’s sword, through it, and into its face. The shadow exploded in a thousand tiny stars.

2024-01-10 17:36:00 +0000 UTC View PostAfter the duel’s conclusion, the crowd remained.
Most of it was low-rankers. Cranxiao had been a mountain to them, a devil they couldn’t escape from. But now, that devil had been defeated and even killed by a man whose ranking was close to theirs. The nightmare was over, and the dream b...
2024-01-09 17:34:12 +0000 UTC View PostThe clash was too unexpected. Jack’s fist shot out, and then Cranxiao flew back. Moreover, a cracking sound clearly came from his fist.
The cultivators in the crowd, most of whom were dreadfully awaiting Jack’s defeat, took a moment to process this.
“What?”
“Cranxiao...
2024-01-08 17:36:00 +0000 UTC View PostNews of Jack’s duel with Cranxiao had spread. It was unknown who started the rumors, but soon, most cultivators across the Cathedral knew.
The high-rankers wouldn’t care about such a thing. However, the low-rankers didn’t only care, they were personally invested. Don Cranxiao had been...
2024-01-06 17:36:00 +0000 UTC View PostJack sat in silence. Darkness enveloped him, a thousand gravities pushed him down. Burning pain filled every inch of his body, but he endured it.
The small amount of life energy was finally fused into his body. Without giving himself a moment to hesitate, he dragged another out of the Life ...

Brock opened his eyes.
Cultivating here was very efficient. His Big Thought was nourished well. Soon, it would approach the next transformation.
For now, however, he needed to rest.
As Jack sat on his bed, he was extremely satisfied. Who said you can’t have your cake and eat it too?
The turtle with a mouthful of a name had limited Jack’s creation of life stones, but he still had the twenty he’d made the day before! With a little business acumen, he was confident ...

2024-01-02 17:32:59 +0000 UTC View PostJack sat on his bed, letting three threads of life circulate his body through his bloodstream. His breath was even and deep, his brows relaxed. His perception was focused inward, capturing every change in a thread’s trajectory.
By now, he knew his body in and out, every nook and cranny an...

She was currently meditating on flames, as the Flame Dao was most vibrant in the morning. In the afternoons, she cultivated the River Dao,...

959? There has to be a mistake!
In the Endless Murder Globe, the people who couldn’t even defeat the first shadow ranked between 997 and 990. They were a sad minority. After that, the people who def...
2023-12-28 17:36:01 +0000 UTC View PostJack stepped into the Ceaseless Murder Globe and looked around; besides a giant lamp stuck to the roof, there was nothing. Only black stone as far as the eye could see.
The lamplight fell down like a curtain, illuminating nothing but the center of the globe. Of course, any C or D-Grade cult...

After Don Cranxiao left, Jack remained silent for a moment. Then, he squatted next to Dorman. “Are you alright?”
“Yeah,” Dorman coughed out in response. If anything, he looked more sad than hurt. “Sorry. This is my fault.”
“You d...
2023-12-26 17:36:01 +0000 UTC View PostWhile Jack discovered the wonders of the Heavy Pagoda, Dorman waited outside. As a non-disciple, his privileges were limited; let alone entering the Heavy Pagoda, even existing in its vicinity was a stretch.
As Dorman cultivated, using the ambient Dao to nourish his Dao Tree, a rough voice...
So, um, this is a bit embarrassing but I completely forgot to edit today's chapter. I thought I had it scheduled, and now I'm out of the house, so I can't do it today. I'll post it tomorrow.
