Night of the Broken Gliph

Chapter 576



Chapter 576

Mung Si ended her seclusion triumphantly, leaving all the Blazing Skies Mountain scholars squeezing their brain juices hard to find another cultivator that entered the ten-gliphic state in their early twenties.

But no matter what, at least in today’s world, Mung Si was the first person to break through to the ten-gliphic state in her early twenties. Even the girl blessed by the stars, Kong Yau, was still at the peak of the single-gliphic state.

Many youths came to welcome her.

“Wow, Junior Sister is awesome! Are your achievements going to be recorded in the books?”

“Tsk… as the cream of the crop, Junior Sister will naturally be recorded in the books.”

Amongst the commotion, a well-built youth walked out of the crowd. Because of his size, it was inevitable that he banged into some of the others, forcing them to the side.

All of them turned around unhappily, but after seeing the other, they kept quiet.

“Congratulations, Junior Sister.” The young man flashed her a smile.

Mung Si only took one glance at him without a word, but this didn’t bother him as Mung Si would eventually be married to him, so her attitude didn’t matter.

“It’s good to travel around more now that you’ve ended seclusion. I heard that the Foothills Restaurant caught a precious fire gulping fish, is Junior Sister interested in trying it?”

“Mung Si just ended seclusion and hopes to use this time to stabilise my cultivation state, so I won’t join the meal,” Mung Si replied emotionlessly and left with her training robe fluttering and rustling loudly.

The youth watch her leave at a loss for words.

Seeing this, someone took the chance to mock Mung Si.

“This Mung Si, what’s with that attitude when she will eventually be Brother Yim’s wife?

“Women are meant to stay at home to raise the kids and be a supporting figure to their husband, there’s no point in having such a strong cultivation. Look at Man Ching Hung, she’s widely known as the best female cultivator in the world, but everyone overlooks the fact that she’s just an unwanted old woman.

“What’s worse is that Mung Si still has a complicated relationship with the seventh teacher… this is unacceptable…”

Brother Yim turned around toward the person who made these comments, shutting him up at once.

“Voluntarily apply to gather Shooting Star Fire, and do not return until you have collected thirty pieces.”

Brother Yim then left. He wasn’t worried that the other teen would rebel; they were in Blazing Skies Mountain, where the Yim Clan ruled.

What’s Chui Yim and the so-called “best forging talent in a thousand years” here at Blazing Skies Mountain? In this sacred land of forging, all of that is a joke. I have already stepped into the great master state years ago, it’s only a matter of time until I reach the grandmaster state.

So what if he’s the seventh teacher? Who am I? I’m Yim Hon Ching, set to be the successor of the divine blacksmith.

I hope that seventh teacher comes to Blazing Skies Mountain someday, so I can show him what forging actually is.


In the Mung Clan Leader, Mung Sam Siu’s, cultivation room made of stone, he looked at Mung Si with a complex array of emotions. He was proud of Mung Si’s excellent performance, but at the same time, Mung Si’s strong-willed character worried him.

What if she ends up like Man Ching Hung? It’s undesirable.

Previously, that person’s words might’ve been rude, but they were accurate; in a world where people were expected to marry as soon as they reached adulthood, many perceived Man Ching Hung to be just a poor lady that no man fancied.

The thought of this made Mung Sam Siu’s head hurt. “My girl, why are you so stubborn? Hon Ching is quite outstanding, so he’s not a bad choice for a partner.”

“He’s no good at all,” Mung Si replied emotionlessly.

“I suppose Chui Yim is very good then!?” Mung Sam Siu laughed in anger.

“Would anyone in the world call a Cloud Palace disciple bad in any way?” Mung Si’s eyes lit up, which was a rare sight.

Mung Sam Siu was left speechless. He could not retort; historically, every disciple of Cloud Palace was the best cultivator of their generation. Nobody in the world would call them bad in any aspect.

“It’s true when they say that girls will stand on an outsider’s side when they grow up. Now you’re even arguing back.” Mung Sam Siu snorted.

Mung Si stuck her tongue out like a little girl, which was a rare sight for her.

After a short pause, Mung Sam Siu sighed. “But Blazing Skies Mountain belongs to the Yim Clan, and now it seems like Yim Hon Ching will definitely be the next clan leader. Old Sir Yim… is of an extremely old age, even for a five-chambered state. He hasn’t shown himself to the world because he’s supposedly in seclusion, but who knows?

“And when he passes on…”

“I don’t want what’s forced on me,” Mung Si responded flatly. “Capability speaks the loudest at the end of the day. Nobody can force anything on me when I manage to break through to the thousand-gliphic state in the future.

“I feel like going out.” She stood up.

“To where?”

“Just to travel around.”

“Do you think I’m stupid?” Mung Sam Siu was so angry that his eyes widened. “It’s obviously because that Chui boy has left the mountains now, and you want to meet him!”

Surprisingly, Mung Si did not retort but looked down with her cheeks flushed red.

“Go ahead! Go wherever you want; girls stand on an outsider’s side at the end of the day!” Mung Sam Siu waved his hands furiously.

Giggling, Mung Si pulled his hands. “Grandpa is the best.”

Watching Mung Si leave, Mung Sam Siu wore a complicated look. “‘I don’t want what’s forced on me’… how many females in the world have the authority to say this?”

Maybe now, Mung Sam Siu understood why his granddaughter worked so hard. In this era where men were regarded as superior to women, only those with enough power could make a choice.

A beautiful figure left Blazing Skies Mountain silently with a training robe on her back. A wave of coldness hit when she left the volcano area, and snow landed on her shoulders. She looked less manly and more gentle currently.

The next moment, she activated her skill and the snow on her disappeared immediately.

She turned toward the South.

A phoenix cry rang out, and a burning figure soared into the sky, disappearing into the silver lining.


Winter and snow were not special weather traits of the North; finally, it started snowing in the South.

The first snow was light, but it gave the lonely peak some colour as well as a shine to the flowing silver waterfall. After removing the manipulated longevity vines, the silver waterfall recovered its luster.

Chui Yim and Kam Chin Kee stood at the peak, snow landing on them. It was a cute scene.

“It’s about time.”

“You should make your way first.” Kam Chin Kee nodded.

“Yeah, there’s no other choice.” Chui Yim sighed.

They only accepted two invitations in the South – Great Wisdom City and Hidden Vanguard City. For the latter, it was from Mok Ching Sau, the grandmaster of water-casting.

It had been two months since they left Cloud Palace, and apart from the main events in Great Wisdom City, they had a temporary stay and even learned close-range combat techniques from Hung Siu. Because Chui Yim saved the city, Hung Siu gave them great advice. Of course, he wouldn’t teach them their secret styles, but being the city that was famous for close-range combat, his advice was very helpful to the boys.

After two months, the boys grew in terms of ability. Now, they would be heading to Hidden Vanguard City with Chui Yim as a blacksmith

It was now time to head for the city since Mok Ching Sau invited them to come over during the period of midwinter in the twelfth lunar month, which was about a month from today. By taking turns to “drive” the floating cloud, they would arrive about seven days later.

However, they had a problem – Lam Ming Sum had fallen ill.
