Chills ran down Chui Yim’s spine at how the other stared at him, thus he pulled out a jug of alcohol from his Divine Bracelet of Five Elements272Please respect copyright.PENANAIL7mhJ9pPf
Hui Sai Cheong’s eyes lit up the moment he saw the jug and started chugging it, not even minding that it had leaked on his protruding belly. He only looked up in satisfaction after some time, but it worried Chui Yim because half of the jug was already finished!272Please respect copyright.PENANA7X6tSehPfH
Hui Sai Cheong waved his right hand and drew a gliph in mid-air, and a cotton-candy-like golden cloud formed in front of both of them. It was the Floating Cloud gliph, the symbol of Cloud Palace.272Please respect copyright.PENANAXksZGlMSh1
“Let’s go, Little Junior Brother!”

Where there’s light in the world, there’s darkness.272Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5atqPPkyP
Two figures walked into the light from the darkness.272Please respect copyright.PENANAUyQuuOlHgh
The teen squinted his eyes like a ferocious tiger. He gave off vibes of a dangerous and hardworking teen, but this was only a subconscious action because of the striking sunlight…272Please respect copyright.PENANAVxGIzbHGcY
It had been more than five years since he saw the sun, which had him reminiscing about the past.272Please respect copyright.PENANAgDAzmmhtrk
“Sacred son-” Behind him stood a man looking at him with respect.272Please respect copyright.PENANAOJmkyiAHXP
“Just address me as Young Master outside.”272Please respect copyright.PENANAMW6bD3HTBN
“Where are we heading? Young Master?” The man nodded.272Please respect copyright.PENANAjV6iCBPh4S
The teenager looked towards the sun with his hands behind his back, slowly opening his eyes. It took him some time to get used to the sun once again. “I’ve heard that the West’s Red Rampart Desert is a famous attraction of the world. We definitely must head over for a look.”272Please respect copyright.PENANACKTTZOXSmT
“Yes, Young Master.” The man bowed slightly.272Please respect copyright.PENANArIfbadnNhJ
With that, the man stood behind the teenager in the sand under the sunlight; they did not seem shady in the slightest.

Chui Yim stood on the golden cloud, riding it peacefully.272Please respect copyright.PENANABSWrCFKsIC
The Floating Cloud gliph was the symbol of a Cloud Palace disciple, as well as a secret gliph of theirs. Chui Yim and Kam Chin Kee had already picked it up, but due to their cultivation, they could not fly for long distances.
What worried Chui Yim most was Hui Sai Cheong continuously drinking.272Please respect copyright.PENANAdeGtWhy054
It was at this moment that Chui Yim realised he was an idiot.272Please respect copyright.PENANAE47Ab00gYn
He gave Hui Sai Cheong the Drunken Year, a cooking wine Yeung Chun created.272Please respect copyright.PENANAgwGSb19y9C
With that as a base, Chui Yim improvised the recipe and treated it like a drinking wine. Adding top-notch glutinous rice wine and about twenty other ingredients, he made this wine that had a great alcohol percentage, but the great aroma and texture made it one of Chui Yim’s favourites.272Please respect copyright.PENANAidr0FsZdHU
But due to its high alcohol percentage, he would only drink one small glass at a time.272Please respect copyright.PENANAEJoPXbwJJ5
Yet Hui Sai Cheong had downed half a jug…272Please respect copyright.PENANACWrvyWObSV
“Hahaha, I’m a bird!” Hui Sai Cheong flapped his arms like a bird. Honestly, he looked more like a fat chicken to Chui Yim…272Please respect copyright.PENANAiPPDyeBUVE
“Erm… Senior Brother, keep an eye on the gliph control…”272Please respect copyright.PENANA2TC8H2TsEY
“Tell me, who am I?” Hui Sai Cheong glared at him. “I’m the third teacher! I’ve used this gliph at least a thousand times! How could anything go wrong!?”272Please respect copyright.PENANAiU4yuS09WR
“Erm… Senior Brother! We are falling down! Senior Brother!”272Please respect copyright.PENANAmx0e125SaA
“Bullshit, we are going forward!”272Please respect copyright.PENANAF1mnQX1tGh
“Huh!? Senior Brother! There’s a tree… eh? Senior Brother? Have you fallen asleep?!”272Please respect copyright.PENANAie9xeMZ5AL
Boom!! A ball of golden light passed the sky and landed in the woods.272Please respect copyright.PENANATkIAicuRDo
Dust flew everywhere and they even knocked a few trees down, scaring the resting beasts away.272Please respect copyright.PENANAbyId8aemmv
Chui Yim climbed out of the huge hole in the ground speechlessly.272Please respect copyright.PENANAoducv74VVG
Amongst the Cloud Palace disciples, Hui Sai Cheong had the best physical body, followed by himself. If it were any of the others, they would have become a pile of minced meat after falling from the sky! Even so, Chui Yim’s body hurt greatly, and he still had to pull a huge man who was snoring like thunder. He couldn’t understand how the other could still be asleep after falling from the skies.272Please respect copyright.PENANAqRBLY38sno
“I’m defeated. How can he still remain asleep?” Chui Yim complained while thinking to himself if this was Great Senior Brother’s punishment to him. Third Senior Brother is a living joke…272Please respect copyright.PENANAT13IEv51xR
With a sigh, he pulled Hui Sai Cheong out of the forest further west.

The South and the North were the most mentioned, but that didn’t mean that they made up the whole world.272Please respect copyright.PENANAr6PScm12CA
It was just a boundary that separated the Southern side with the Lam dynasty in control and the Northern side controlled by the large tribes.272Please respect copyright.PENANAjXkz96dDCh
However, that wasn’t all parts of the world.272Please respect copyright.PENANALGQohY2kNe
The East consisted of a vast ocean, and only birds were found on what little land there was. It was filled with aquatic gliphic beasts that were even stronger than land gliphic beasts of the same state. Due to it being unsuitable for human survival, not many would fight for territory in the Eastern Sea.272Please respect copyright.PENANAzJslRd3OjO
The West was a dry desert.272Please respect copyright.PENANAml0dyYfry5
It was deserted in the West, and unlike the North’s cold temperature throughout the year, the West suffered from unbearable heat. Nobody could explain why the weather in the West was hot all year round, just like how the reason North had to suffer from winter’s icy breath most of the time remains unknown.272Please respect copyright.PENANA5dHCCvS6ai
Compared to the North where humans could at least hide in their warm residences, the West was more unfit for living. The blazing weather caused humans' energy to drain quickly, and it was difficult for plants to survive. The few plants that could be found were inedible.272Please respect copyright.PENANAcJRvSrnG4a
Beasts that could live in such an environment were obviously stronger than other gliphic beasts.272Please respect copyright.PENANAXRa2IEsFU1
In the far reaches of the West, there was a forbidden area called the Red Rampart Desert.272Please respect copyright.PENANAML0176SzSs
The Red Rampart Desert was a dangerous place. It was said to house a powerful sect a thousand years ago, but one day, the entire sect disappeared into thin air, leaving only the buildings behind. As time passed, the West became a desolate area.272Please respect copyright.PENANAkxkZcy8ahj
The sect was then buried by quicksand and became a place for cultivators to search for treasure. Cultivators left with treasure every decade or so and gained huge wealth in a single night. But after a thousand years, the easily obtained treasures were all taken away, leaving only those buried extremely well, so the area was mostly a place for clan disciples to have their adventures at now. Thus, cultivators could be spotted in the area from time to time.272Please respect copyright.PENANAygU3OkgK9J
With that, the West became a forbidden area, meant only for cultivators to train themselves.272Please respect copyright.PENANAohK2OTzFRX
Many years ago, Chui Yim bought a nameless fire bead at the Black Tortoise auction house.272Please respect copyright.PENANAuzgUrMKm2l
During his time at Cloud Palace, he broke the restriction on the fire bead and discovered a flame inside of it. He sought advice from Sung Tsz Hin who told him that it was a key to the actual flame.272Please respect copyright.PENANAWG45tySZ7K
Sung Tsz Hin went to Cheuk Kwun, and with his Spirit Roaming and Celestial Pearl, they figured that the key pointed towards the Red Rampart Desert.
