“There has never been a record about that, not even in the history books in Cloud Forest from a thousand years ago.”433Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5YsmoamLT
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.”433Please respect copyright.PENANALjU2p0Vpsl
Chui Yim looked up at the sky and back to the Cloud Palace members.433Please respect copyright.PENANA33dRyhb6E7
After a short pause, he flashed them a wide smile. “There will be one starting today.”433Please respect copyright.PENANAbPJvF1B6YL
The thunderstorm dispersed slowly, revealing the sun that shone down on Chui Yim’s palm.433Please respect copyright.PENANAwbWAeYmEc5
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.433Please respect copyright.PENANAVg9loUqsKc
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.433Please respect copyright.PENANAFnqitaWqO6
The monkey was just like any other baby beast, and understanding Chui Yim’s intention, the Cloud Palace members wore huge smiles.433Please respect copyright.PENANAcVHAJlEV7w
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.433Please respect copyright.PENANACTviKhSJTg
“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.433Please respect copyright.PENANARXftx80TQt
“He’s not bad, right? The kiddo I brought over.”433Please respect copyright.PENANAwYo4Nqb85O
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.433Please respect copyright.PENANAQNkyzlK7ml
“You were just lucky,” the Seven-Star Elder said emotionlessly.433Please respect copyright.PENANAl94T8EV4nJ
“I won. I’m already on my deathbed, just accept that you lost!” Bak Wun replied proudly.433Please respect copyright.PENANAK6Atvy0aDp
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?433Please respect copyright.PENANAebGTVVjZxT
“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.”433Please respect copyright.PENANAyuFm0gzngu
Bak Wun huffed.433Please respect copyright.PENANAzQkQxuL1Dh
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.”433Please respect copyright.PENANA2AB2ubaQ24
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.”433Please respect copyright.PENANAxBZRVidfuI
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.433Please respect copyright.PENANA0o72lJwW3q
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.433Please respect copyright.PENANAUTLVujRXny
Unable to contain their curiosity, the boys went into Sung Tsz Hin’s house again.433Please respect copyright.PENANAlD6xkCIk1z
“Why aren’t you guys having dinner? Perhaps the food Third Junior Brother made today is not suited for your taste buds?”433Please respect copyright.PENANAipscJTV8EZ
The boys exchanged a glance as silence followed.433Please respect copyright.PENANA743tYzM8ej
After spending five days in Cloud Palace, they were exposed to many things.433Please respect copyright.PENANAzdQu4nUjsJ
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.433Please respect copyright.PENANASCt2GfNp6V
“Great Senior Brother, why…?” Chui Yim thought, but he did not know how to phrase his question.433Please respect copyright.PENANAHbfcb30GCQ
“Are all the seniors both gliphers and gliphists?” Kam Chin Kee finished his sentence.433Please respect copyright.PENANAEdjhOoCFLK
They noticed it from the start, but they also thought they were seeing it wrong.433Please respect copyright.PENANArgOCnfVbgD
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!433Please respect copyright.PENANA6taxC0uH6O
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.433Please respect copyright.PENANATKUfktp57X
Every day in Cloud Palace flipped the boys’ knowledge upside down!433Please respect copyright.PENANA9v65kZXWPg
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.”433Please respect copyright.PENANAIjK95g2pBm
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.433Please respect copyright.PENANAxkpOBQSmLc
“In today’s world, gliphers cultivate their body while gliphists cultivate their mental strength.433Please respect copyright.PENANAOStANE3vRm
“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.”433Please respect copyright.PENANAvbQ7FAzy8c
“But…” Kam Chin Kee spoke up hesitantly. “Humans are limited in time and strength, how can we do both?”433Please respect copyright.PENANAgD42WPu75u
“That only applies to ordinary people.” Sung Tsz Hin waved his hands.433Please respect copyright.PENANAERzEZRPDVB
“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.433Please respect copyright.PENANAjeooB9UHDM
“I bet you guys have heard of necrocultivators, am I right?” Sung Tsz Hin lowered his voice when he got to this point.433Please respect copyright.PENANAEJyMZOLJY4
The figure of the crazy old woman immediately appeared in Chui Yim’s mind and he nodded.433Please respect copyright.PENANAtMBtnvCk16
“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.”
