Night of the Broken Gliph

Chui Yim opened his eyes slowly. There was a red flicker in his eyes that he missed. Feeling refreshed, he stood up for a stretch.

Ever since Chui Yim reached the one-chambered state and successfully found a method to strengthen his body, he saw significant positive changes. By cultivating True Domineer daily and absorbing energy from the blood intent pearl, Chui Yim became stronger as the days passed. However, he felt weirdly suppressed like he had reached a limit.

Thus, he consulted Woo Nim regarding this matter, and found out that his body had reached a bottleneck called the boundary by cultivators.

A human’s body was strengthened greatly every time a cultivator overcame the boundary, on the condition that the cultivator could break through to the next cultivation state…

Most cultivators come across the first boundary of their lives during the four-chambered state, and this was what set apart the four-chambered and three-chambered state cultivators. Gliphers who overcame the boundary had a much stronger body compared to ordinary gliphers as their speed and strength were no longer limited, which was greatly desired by gliphers who treated their bodies like weapons.

There were rumours that Mute from Apex Temple was the only cultivator who overcame the boundary twice, which explained his title of best defender. Other than the Universe Divine Style, Invincible Diamond Body, and Golden Bell Shield he cultivated, overcoming the boundary twice was also an important factor that earned him the title.

Records in incomplete scrolls wrote that gliphers would come across the boundary again when they broke through to the six-chambered state. Thus, experts in gliphism predicted that a six-chambered cultivator who overcame the boundary twice would be immortal and imperishable.

…………

Experiencing the boundary as a one-chambered cultivator? Chui Yim’s condition was never heard of, but it somehow solved the mystery of Wong Ba.

The more Chui Yim thought about it, the more his reasoning made sense. Being a logical teenage boy, the rumours of Wong Ba’s encounter being the result of heaven’s jealousy for his amazing talent were absolute bullshit. The concept of the boundary perfectly explained Wong Ba’s situation!

Chui Yim was pleasantly surprised to unravel the mystery, yet at the same time, it saddened him how a talent left the world without much accomplishment due to the boundary.

“Be at ease, four of my chambers are already open. I’ll definitely make you proud and shake the world with True Domineer,” Chui Yim thought to himself. He had started cultivating energliph for the second chamber, and his first choice was the wind chamber. But after the incident with the phantom monkey back at the Forbidden Forest, a weird grey fog entered his wind chamber and stayed as a weird crown that devoured all energliph Chui Yim inserted.

The thought left tears of helplessness trickling down Chui Yim’s cheeks. After finally solving the problem with the Heaven’s Flame in his heart, it was time for round two! The only difference was that the problem was now the grey crown. Both are VIPs that require me to worship them!

Therefore, Chui Yim turned to his right arm chamber as he was in urgent need to increase his power. He didn’t have another decade to waste, and improving his ability was a better choice than betting on an unknown weird crown.

Feeling his steady improvement, Chui Yim was greatly satisfied.

He pushed the door open after taking a deep breath, feeling rejuvenated. He might’ve reached the boundary, but facing a four-chambered cultivator’s problem proved how powerful Chui Yim’s body was currently. Even Lung Wai Yuet once cast sidelong glances at such a situation.

Chui Yim felt that he was brimming with energy. Thinking of having a spar with Kam Chin Kee, he went around the residence looking for him only to realise that there was nobody home.

“Huh? It’s a holiday for the outer sect, no?” Chui Yim muttered and came to the living room to find a note left for him on the table.

So, Lam Ming Sum came early in the morning and got poor Kam Chin Kee and Yeung Chun to be her market trip helpers. There will be a ruckus if the public recognises her. Chui Yim shook his head.

But the strict Kan Hang would definitely have her disguise herself before letting her out. The thought of this put Chui Yim at ease.

The silence in his residence was a foreign feeling to Chui Yim. It had been ages since he was left alone. As a child, he had Chui Tin by his side. There was Lam Ming Sum to accompany him after he left home for school. When Lam Ming Sum left, he escaped Southary under Chor Shing Chit and Bak Wun’s care. Here in South Imperial City, he then met Yeung Chun and Kam Chin Kee.

After such a long time, he was reminded of how being alone felt. Laughing at his thoughts, Chui Yim made himself some tea. I’m at the age where I reminisce too, huh? Chui Yim preferred wine and wasn’t particularly craving tea, but it was for the vibes.

Just as he was enjoying his alone time, two figures appeared outside of his residence.

…………

All money spent shall return one day, with an empty pocket away you stay.

Poor men’s entry rejected!

The couplet left Yeung Tin Hin totally speechless. He wondered which idiot came up with such a senseless couplet! This went the same for Man Yee Ho too. They exchanged glances and headed into the residence suspiciously.

Other than the weird couplet, everything else in the residence was normal. The delightful garden that welcomed the duo reminded Yeung Tin Hun of Spring Peak back at home. Yeung Tin Hun was aware of how his great uncle spent his time raising plants and on culinary arts instead of handling the sect’s matters. His father and other uncles all closed one eye at Yeung Chun’s character.

“Indeed my great uncle! He managed to find such a good residence in the South within such a short time.”

With that, Man Yee Ho followed after him.

Seeing a bald boy in a red sleeveless shirt making tea silently, a wide smile formed on Yeung Tin Hun’s face the moment he reached the living room.

“Great Uncle knows how to enjoy life! He even hired a servant!” Yeung Tin Hun mumbled, looking all relaxed as he strode over. “Hey hey hey.”

“Who are you? And how did you get in?” The bald teen turned over, surprised.

Yeung Tin Hun laughed gently as he tried his best to act like a gentle adult, but due to his childish appearance, it was an awkward scene. “I’m the relative of this residence’s owner. Mind your own business and… oh, make me a cup too,” Yeung Tin Hun said when he saw the cup that Chui Yim was holding.

With that, Yeung Tin Hun took a seat and deeply sighed, which Man Yee Ho followed. After the long journey, both of them were exhausted. Despite the world knowing of their journey, they were Northerners and the trip was tough. The duo fought their way to South Imperial City, and the most dangerous event was back at the Heaven Sacrifice Tribe facing Cheng Hak.

Other than Cheng Hak though, they encountered many other hurdles too. But they were Yeung Tin Hun and Man Yee Ho, elites that had reincarnated. The former wielded a spear and launched unpredictable attacks while the other turned gliph strings into countless weapons. Under their cooperation, the duo killed their way into the South so fiercely that their names were heard even at the Blood War Frontier. And this wasn’t an exaggeration.

The both of them let their guards down immediately upon arriving at a safe place.

Chui Yim stared at the both of them at a loss for words. He did not know who the teen in the fancy bright red robe was, nor could he recognise the boy in a green robe with a long red belt tied to his waist. Both of them looked like they were his age.

Who are they? Chui Yim wasn’t planning to rage, but seeing how Yeung Tin Hun sat down like he was the owner of this residence and even asked for a cup of tea irked him. They definitely got the place wrong! Relative of the owner? Since when do I have such a relative!?

With Chui Yim’s character, he flared up. “You got the wrong address!”

Lying on the chair, Yeung Tin Hun squinted his eyes and waved lazily. “Stop joking around. This is the only residence at the lake side, how could I get it wrong? Hurry and serve me tea before I decide to complain to your boss.”

This was meant to be a joke, but this was the wrong audience. If Yeung Tin Hun said this to an actual servant, he or she might truly work harder, but it was to Chui Yim, the owner of the residence. This came as an insult to Chui Yim, and with his straightforward character, he immediately lost patience.
