Night of the Broken Gliph

Chapter 559

“In the Canon of Supreme Mystery, an ancient scroll, the nine levels of heaven are recorded: first is Central, second is Envious, third is Submissive, fourth is Changing, fifth is Clear, sixth is Broad, seventh is Diminishing, eighth is Heavy, and ninth is Success. Central represents me, and I can control all the other directions to either rebound or turn the attack.”

“It doesn't sound that fantastic.” Chui Yim shrugged.

“Indeed, it’s not as marvelous as the Hundred Streams Body, so strong and direct. However, its ever-changing nature suits me most.” Kam Chin Kee laughed, while Chui Yim nodded after some thought.

The toughest part about puppetry was not the control but how the puppeteer had to multitask, as every puppet string had its own unique control methods. By coordinating together, one could give the puppet an entirely new action. Thus, every puppeteer had an insane ability to multitask.

The Heavenly Skies Body was different from other special body forms; the effects weren't very direct, but it was ever-changing, which suited Kam Chin Kee perfectly. With this body form, his Blue Ghost Gliph, Great Cerulean Mountain gliphility, and his puppets, Kam Chin Kee had an incredible talent for survival.

While the boys spent their night trying to understand the Heavenly Skies special body form, the Hung Clan was still awake too, undergoing changes.

Today was truly bustling with activities. All teens in seclusion at the Heavenly Silver Waterfall ended their seclusion and returned to their clans.

Of course, it was not like they had a choice. Their cultivation depended on the waterfall, which was made of the Heavenly Silver Whale’s essence after it passed on, in order to acquire the Flower Stream special body form.

Most special body forms were incredibly tough to obtain; only one in ten thousand might get Chui Yim’s Heavenly Spring Body from consuming the Heavenly Spring Fish. However, the Flowing Stream Body was relatively simple to obtain in comparison.

No talent of Great Wisdom City would give up the chance to obtain a special body form, as any extra method might represent one extra chance to stay alive during life-threatening events.

Today, three Hung Clan disciples returned to the Hung Clan too, and they received a huge welcome from their clan, especially one of them who the Hung Clan male disciples viewed with respect while the female disciples viewed with admiration.

Facing all the praise, he only accepted them with gratitude calmly and rejected his pursuers politely. He was so composed that he was like a rock at the depths of the Heavenly Silver Waterfall: reliable and unwavering.

At the corner, the injured Hung Ching Sun watched the center of attention secretly.

And again,ever since childhood, no matter how hard I work or what achievements I’ve gotten, I’m always a nobody beside him.

The reason why Hung Leung named Hung Ching Sun as such was because he wanted him to shine brightly in the dark sky just like the stars, Sun meaning celestial body.

But his brother was named Hung Ching Yeung, and a celestial body could never outshine the sun or moon.

TL Note: Yeung means sun.

Hung Ching Sun hated this name because it was just like a curse to him.

Hung Ching Yeung, Hung Ching Sun’s elder brother, turned to the corner subconsciously as he sensed something, but there was nothing at the corner when he turned over.

“Father, may I know what went on today? It’s… the start of the Silver Waterfall Festival today, if I’m not wrong.”

“Haish, it’s complicated…” Hung Leung sighed before telling his elder son about everything that took place today.

“Even though Cloud Palace’s sixth teacher mentioned that there was only the Flowing Stream special body form in the illusion, it’s extremely remarkable that he managed to obtain the legendary treasure in just one try. However, it seems too common to be the legendary item hidden in the illusion for centuries, given how challenging it was to obtain. No matter what, this is a loss we have to take, and I just pity Ching Sun for working hard over the past years to end up with nothing.” With that, Hung Leung finished what he wanted to say.

Hung Ching Yeung nodded slowly, and he was obviously in deep thought.

Yesterday was only day one of the Silver Waterfall Festival. The festival started with young cultivators heading into the Heavenly Illusion to battle the silver fish and have their levels determined. The higher the stage they made it to, the higher the level they would be able to cultivate at in the Heavenly Silver Waterfall.

The Heavenly Silver Waterfall consisted of nine levels that represented the nine stages of the illusion, and the higher the level, the purer the essence of the waterfall and the greater the benefits towards the cultivator’s body!

This process usually took place on day two. There was even a name for it; they called it Baptism Day, since today would be the day that many teenagers who had never entered the waterfall did so for the first time, starting their journey as a powerful cultivator.

Compared to the day before, the Heavenly Lone Peak was less crowded, but everyone was brimming with excitement while some pretended to remain composed and looked at the excited teens in disdain, proving that they had already entered the waterfall to cultivate in the past.

But most of them viewed the two figures at the corner with respect. The two figures were none other than Chui Yim and Kam Chin Kee.

Of course, there were some that talked bad about Kam Chin Kee too. “I heard it’s him, the person that robbed the secret of the Heavenly Illusion. It’s said to be an ancient treasure with extremely powerful effects!”

“Bullshit! It’s a secret cultivation style left behind by a past elite.”

“Pfft… how dare an outsider come steal our city’s item? What a thief.”

“Cloud Palace? More like Thief Palace…”

They were whispering while staring at the teens angrily, obviously meant for them to hear. However, it did not affect the duo in the slightest, even the bad-tempered Chui Yim.

After knowing what Kam Chin Kee obtained, he didn’t mind being scolded by the others as he lost nothing. They also didn’t feel the slightest guilt for taking away a precious item from the city; it was their own incapability that they failed to obtain it over the past several centuries!

At the same time, Hung Leung arrived. Hung Siu only came into the public’s eyes during important events like the day before. During normal days, it would be Hung Leung who took charge while Hung Siu was in long-term seclusion. After all, he definitely had a pure and matchless passion for cultivation to reach his current state.

Thus, it was Hung Leung who took charge of Great Wisdom City’s affairs most of the time.
