“There has never been a record about that, not even in the history books in Cloud Forest from a thousand years ago.”309Please respect copyright.PENANAmROOaztH7V
The fierce Yim Mo Chiu sneered upon hearing them. “Of course there would never be any rock monkey that would be fed with the world’s kindness; with the rumours about its heart, which human could contain their greed? Humans are just like snakes trying to swallow an elephant.”309Please respect copyright.PENANAPzwQ80Zvwv
Chui Yim looked up at the sky and back to the Cloud Palace members.309Please respect copyright.PENANACPNrbjN9MW
After a short pause, he flashed them a wide smile. “There will be one starting today.”309Please respect copyright.PENANAUqRWupH5RC
The thunderstorm dispersed slowly, revealing the sun that shone down on Chui Yim’s palm.309Please respect copyright.PENANAQst6VVQaza
The tiny greyish-white monkey looked like a cute, living rock. It opened its eyes slowly.
Beasts normally viewed the first living thing they saw in their life as their parent. Normally, it was heaven and earth that welcomed rock monkeys to the world, but not for this rock monkey. It was welcomed by an extremely shiny bald head instead.309Please respect copyright.PENANAi0YCtz4Xn3
It did not fear Chui Yim, it only felt love and curiosity. It was so tiny that Chui Yim couldn’t imagine how it would grow into a beast that possessed the ability to influence the world. The monkey reached out for Chui Yim’s finger with its tiny hands, sucking on it and crying softly again when it realised that there was nothing to fill it up and it was still hungry.309Please respect copyright.PENANA0Y3U5hIexm
The monkey was just like any other baby beast, and understanding Chui Yim’s intention, the Cloud Palace members wore huge smiles.309Please respect copyright.PENANATRrzjRtHrD
Indeed, they were currently in Lost in the Clouds, somewhere separated from the outside world. Nobody here would hurt it. The seven proud disciples of Cloud Palace did not care for the rock monkey’s heart.

At the peak of the mountain, the elder was still fishing in the clouds. Behind him stood another elderly man who had a snowy white crane next to him, leaning on him gently.
“Are you going to leave?” The fishing elder was none other than the Seven-Star Elder. He spoke casually as if he was having a chit-chat.309Please respect copyright.PENANAzs1TxRgEYV
“It’s natural for me to take my leave after reaching my goal, right?” The elder behind him shrugged, not minding that the man in front of him was most likely the most powerful man on the planet.
The Seven-Star Elder laughed. This was the reason why Bak Wun became his crane keeper; Bak Wun did not respect and fear him like the rest of the world would.309Please respect copyright.PENANAOBQ925VVSy
“He’s not bad, right? The kiddo I brought over.”309Please respect copyright.PENANA0RDdLokzYM
The elderly man was Bak Wun. However, he looked very energetic, face flushing pink just like a teenager at the prime of his year showing off his favourite toy to his friend instead of lacking vitality.309Please respect copyright.PENANAk0lXjmEjms
“You were just lucky,” the Seven-Star Elder said emotionlessly.309Please respect copyright.PENANAJXcJzaTp5I
“I won. I’m already on my deathbed, just accept that you lost!” Bak Wun replied proudly.309Please respect copyright.PENANAbmIm0cNXOl
Silence filled the air for a short moment before the Seven-Star Elder replied in anger, “What’s there to be proud of when this gem was only found after setting up almost twenty different institutions in different places?309Please respect copyright.PENANABMpZHBlaUa
“Moreover, don’t lie to me about your lifespan. You can live even longer than a normal three-chambered glipher with Little White’s special feather as an ingredient of your gliph.”309Please respect copyright.PENANAi0SmLlP5Rr
Bak Wun huffed.309Please respect copyright.PENANASugF27rRk9
After a long time, he bowed to the Seven-Star Elder. “I have high hopes for this boy. Please help me take care of him, Palace Master. He’s kind of impulsive.”309Please respect copyright.PENANAwuW7XQo2Ox
The Seven-Star Elder stared at the clouds silently, his vision passing through the limits of space and landing on the bright bald head reflecting the first sunlight after a storm as well as the tiny monkey. “With that rock monkey and the cautious, meticulous Kam Chin Kee, it will be hard for trouble to find him even if it wanted to.”309Please respect copyright.PENANAVy3NBVFtAR
Knowing that the Seven-Star Elder had agreed, Bak Wun wore a gummy smile on his face that was a big contrast to his wrinkled face. “Capable men work more, so please work a lot, my palace master.” With that, he took his leave, leaving the Seven-Star Elder to look at his disciple from afar.309Please respect copyright.PENANAcOtZdtmTrF
Little White tilted its head expressing its confusion: Why not join their happiness if you’re feeling lonely, Master?
But being a crane, it couldn’t find the answer.

The rock monkey fell asleep after consuming the goat milk Lam Ming Sum prepared.309Please respect copyright.PENANACpYWZdaF2g
Unable to contain their curiosity, the boys went into Sung Tsz Hin’s house again.309Please respect copyright.PENANAxEPgZjKmNm
“Why aren’t you guys having dinner? Perhaps the food Third Junior Brother made today is not suited for your taste buds?”309Please respect copyright.PENANAKPMbnTxuga
The boys exchanged a glance as silence followed.309Please respect copyright.PENANAkpfTbNyQx2
After spending five days in Cloud Palace, they were exposed to many things.309Please respect copyright.PENANAWqTJY22f7E
They watched gliph strings surround Yim Mo Chiu as she danced, her last step able to crush the ground. They also watched Wong Kei, who was deep in thought, smack a bug to death with an empty hand strike from a distance. They also watched Hui Sai Cheong randomly drawing an Umbrella gliph to protect him from the storm today.309Please respect copyright.PENANA3oTIzlEGLE
“Great Senior Brother, why…?” Chui Yim thought, but he did not know how to phrase his question.309Please respect copyright.PENANAEW6MAM4mIX
“Are all the seniors both gliphers and gliphists?” Kam Chin Kee finished his sentence.309Please respect copyright.PENANANvhXI4U9Qi
They noticed it from the start, but they also thought they were seeing it wrong.309Please respect copyright.PENANATbhfRjNMQ0
Hui Sai Cheong had a strong body, an obvious point that he was a glipher, yet he was able to draw gliphs casually like a gliphist above the ten-gliphic state!309Please respect copyright.PENANArW7OLMLCvP
Wong Kei had an incredible mental state, obviously a hundred-gliphic state gliphist, but he was able to smack a fly a few meters away with his pure strength and no energliph involved.309Please respect copyright.PENANAIImurQtJ7n
Every day in Cloud Palace flipped the boys’ knowledge upside down!309Please respect copyright.PENANAtw0JpYSVrX
Sung Tsz Hin was taken aback, but very soon, he laughed. “Every junior asked me the same question, but I did not expect the two of you to realize it so soon.”309Please respect copyright.PENANAOz8Ov9exrU
With a smile, he opened his palm, his white, slender hands enough to make many females go crazy for him. Gliph strings formed rapidly on his palm and took the form of a fresh flower. “There aren’t any gliphers or gliphists in Cloud Palace.309Please respect copyright.PENANA27GgPXpf1P
“In today’s world, gliphers cultivate their body while gliphists cultivate their mental strength.309Please respect copyright.PENANAxjTQIQSxHs
“But there was no such difference in the past.” Sung Tsz Hin smiled and flicked his finger, a strong wind sent out at the flower made of gliph strings, causing it to disappear. “In the past, the correct way was to cultivate both; one would only cultivate gliphism.”309Please respect copyright.PENANAJvdKaIvbNj
“But…” Kam Chin Kee spoke up hesitantly. “Humans are limited in time and strength, how can we do both?”309Please respect copyright.PENANAnHMMCQH9W9
“That only applies to ordinary people.” Sung Tsz Hin waved his hands.309Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0aizU6oxn
“Not everyone can cultivate gliphism, but similarly, not everyone can join Cloud Palace. In reality, it was separated into two different careers to lower the threshold of cultivation. The pro is that it increased the number of cultivators, but the con is that the quality decreased.309Please respect copyright.PENANAqee9LAVkHB
“I bet you guys have heard of necrocultivators, am I right?” Sung Tsz Hin lowered his voice when he got to this point.309Please respect copyright.PENANA5pM5xgyRMN
The figure of the crazy old woman immediately appeared in Chui Yim’s mind and he nodded.309Please respect copyright.PENANAOBv5gA9xd0
“They’re able to be invincible in their state and even fight those above their state because, other than the malevolent styles they cultivate, every member of theirs cultivates gliphism.”
