Chapter 45: A Mountaintop Dialogue with Shiqing Yunding Temple. It stood on Ziyun Peak, one of the seventy-two peaks of Yunding Mountain. Ziyun Peak was not the tallest among them, but its elevation still approached eighteen hundred meters. Every morning, or after rain, a layer of cloud and mist would settle around the mountain gate — a beautiful sight. Not far off to the right front of the temple gate, there was a thousand-meter sheer cliff. At its edge, a small round platform jutted out beyond…-

Chapter 44: Learning to Parasitize Old Wang watched me steadily and said nothing. He clearly had no intention of getting into it. I had no choice but to settle down and listen. "This is called a chakra controller. Ordinary people need it installed in the brain. You don't. You're different — you can copy it directly into the composite structure in your brain." "Wait," I said. "Why am I different? Why does everyone else need an installation and I don't?" "What, you're complaining?" Old Wang…

Chapter 43: Treating the Injured I carried Old Wang to the safe house, then parked the car some distance from the safe house before heading back. Safe houses were all designed along the same lines. Beyond shielding against electronic detection, each one kept a stock of medicines and daily supplies — enough for ordinary living. I settled Old Wang on the bed and applied some medicine to his wounds. Using my penetrating vision, I examined his injuries. Most were superficial. He looked like he…

Chapter 42: You Should Call Me Uncle The leader knew I was not someone to tangle with. But there were more of them, and he had his brothers watching — he could not afford to fold. He squared his shoulders and was just about to snap back when someone behind him caught his arm. That man studied me for a moment. "You're Great Dharma Master Xuanhong, aren't you?" I nodded. "I don't deserve that title. I've returned to lay life. I'm only a common man now." The man dropped to his knees. "Dharma…

Chapter 41: Rescue Looking at the electronic spacetime-boundary generator, I had never expected the thing to actually interfere with time itself. But no matter how powerful it was, at the end of the day it was still an electronic device — intricate structure, advanced components and all. I refused to believe I could not smash it. I found a loose floor brick inside the hall and brought it down hard on the device. Bang. Crack. The device shattered. But because I had already frozen…

Chapter 40: Secret Operation I dared to enter this time mainly because I'd already been on her balcony earlier and knew the escape route. What I wanted was to see what Lu Qingyue's husband looked like, so I could recognize him later. The man who stepped inside and shed his invisibility was Ren Jingze. Ren Jingze brought Lu Qingyue and her husband into the living room, then raised a hand with a casual flick. A map materialized in midair, scattered with red dots. Pointing to the floating map, he…

Chapter 39: Tracking I returned to the office, where a small sleeping room had been set aside for me. Lying on the bed, I turned things over in my mind. What would happen if I activated the parasitic-host receiver? I slowly opened it a crack, just to see. As soon as I did, I found I could actually hear conversations passing between Soul Hunter consciousnesses. The crack was too narrow, though — I couldn't make out the words clearly. I eased it open a little wider and listened…

My Mother’s Dream On a winter night in 2023, sleet hammered against the windows of my flat in Manchester. I sat hunched over my desk, racing to finish a paper, my nose almost pressed to the cold screen, and sneezed several times in a row. By my second year studying in Britain, I had long since grown used to its damp, chilly winters, and to dealing with headaches, fevers, and other minor illnesses on my own. I always kept a bottle of allergy medication brought from China in my desk drawer. Whenever…-

Chapter 38: Soul Hunters While replicating the parasitic-host capsule, I found something I hadn't expected. It was the receiver—the mechanism through which a parasitic host received a Soul Hunter. It was also the foundation module. Soul Hunters used this to teleport their consciousness directly into a parasitic host's brain. It might also be a controller. I didn't yet know whether it was a universal model or purpose-built for a specific host. If purpose-built, it wouldn't be much use to…

Chapter 37: Gu Kunling's Power But I was already bound, unable to move. The net was tough. I struggled against it several times and could not break free. Cutting it was no use either. I did have a small knife on me. But the threads simply would not cut. I had no idea what material they were made from—whatever it was, it wasn't in my knowledge base. All I could do was watch helplessly as Zhu Zhaojie traded blows with that mist-shaped figure. At least I had penetrating-wave ability, so I…
