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 Elements302Please respect copyright.PENANATbqAHPUbla
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!302Please respect copyright.PENANAYuiFuv4UhD
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.302Please respect copyright.PENANANSmV1kEmRu
“Let’s go, Little Junior Brother!”

Where there’s light in the world, there’s darkness.302Please respect copyright.PENANA9zcZTYIuhC
Two figures walked into the light from the darkness.302Please respect copyright.PENANAJtOczstIgf
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…302Please respect copyright.PENANAw6T1Z6Up1T
It had been more than five years since he saw the sun, which had him reminiscing about the past.302Please respect copyright.PENANARPR3vVsszo
“Sacred son-” Behind him stood a man looking at him with respect.302Please respect copyright.PENANAjkh2NxAquM
“Just address me as Young Master outside.”302Please respect copyright.PENANAuBjKiKI7pL
“Where are we heading? Young Master?” The man nodded.302Please respect copyright.PENANAgsGIIyDnqV
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.”302Please respect copyright.PENANAtc4L8rFzUr
“Yes, Young Master.” The man bowed slightly.302Please respect copyright.PENANAiABpQHtWum
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.302Please respect copyright.PENANAmN0CEtYNPJ
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.302Please respect copyright.PENANAkGmRo1KgJp
It was at this moment that Chui Yim realised he was an idiot.302Please respect copyright.PENANAa3NyvsPwHk
He gave Hui Sai Cheong the Drunken Year, a cooking wine Yeung Chun created.302Please respect copyright.PENANAClZU9jxYkg
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.302Please respect copyright.PENANAbBBoTtyPzy
But due to its high alcohol percentage, he would only drink one small glass at a time.302Please respect copyright.PENANANDPkZOIK9i
Yet Hui Sai Cheong had downed half a jug…302Please respect copyright.PENANAsojcbMIpFp
“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…302Please respect copyright.PENANA7QG1XCtDHh
“Erm… Senior Brother, keep an eye on the gliph control…”302Please respect copyright.PENANAY6fMFgMDsH
“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!?”302Please respect copyright.PENANAV5JS8RGCLr
“Erm… Senior Brother! We are falling down! Senior Brother!”302Please respect copyright.PENANAOnEC1wCE4t
“Bullshit, we are going forward!”302Please respect copyright.PENANAEOcaVJ3FZg
“Huh!? Senior Brother! There’s a tree… eh? Senior Brother? Have you fallen asleep?!”302Please respect copyright.PENANA7qxfRdo87q
Boom!! A ball of golden light passed the sky and landed in the woods.302Please respect copyright.PENANAT7zcEOVLzb
Dust flew everywhere and they even knocked a few trees down, scaring the resting beasts away.302Please respect copyright.PENANAazCRHu27AE
Chui Yim climbed out of the huge hole in the ground speechlessly.302Please respect copyright.PENANAsT5WnQNz8o
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.302Please respect copyright.PENANArHtNB5rq54
“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…302Please respect copyright.PENANAcOoclpgaT5
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.302Please respect copyright.PENANAYxbzv8woCV
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.302Please respect copyright.PENANA3jimWvC6sD
However, that wasn’t all parts of the world.302Please respect copyright.PENANAfvtVkCJzUn
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.302Please respect copyright.PENANArWR2oL6EmG
The West was a dry desert.302Please respect copyright.PENANAzWsW29Na3G
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.302Please respect copyright.PENANAUmxExmWhfa
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.302Please respect copyright.PENANAks9ShXQVKQ
Beasts that could live in such an environment were obviously stronger than other gliphic beasts.302Please respect copyright.PENANAbtyhFLoCuN
In the far reaches of the West, there was a forbidden area called the Red Rampart Desert.302Please respect copyright.PENANAw5nuDvCfXI
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.302Please respect copyright.PENANALy2yUK7ZxF
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.302Please respect copyright.PENANACe7K0tfozJ
With that, the West became a forbidden area, meant only for cultivators to train themselves.302Please respect copyright.PENANAMZZaIpH6kX
Many years ago, Chui Yim bought a nameless fire bead at the Black Tortoise auction house.302Please respect copyright.PENANA97fA87f9HF
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.302Please respect copyright.PENANANiwAAQ6aSQ
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.
