Daily life of a cultivation judge

contemporary romance

Clearing his mind off the countless doubts he had in his mind, Yang Qing decided to focus on the things he could, which at the present was to go through as much information as he could on the physiques, cultivation arts, artifacts, and natural treasures along with organizations that were well known for their abilities to subjugate and torment one's mind and spirit, along with corrupting them.

Considering the subject matter, he knew he had his work cut out for him and two and a half days would likely not be enough for him to go through all of it, but he would try to get through as much as he could. Luckily the environment of the gold-grade floor would help with that with the countless treasures and arrays it was filled with to improve clarity and concentration whilst also reducing mental fatigue.

With the effects he was feeling, if he wanted to, he could spend half a year comprehending the most complex of cultivation techniques without fear of overexerting himself mentally.

Taking advantage of all the benefits afforded to him, Yang Qing poured himself into the investigation that he didn't even realize how his allotted time quickly flew by. He only realized the two-and-a-half days were up when he sensed acute changes in his surroundings and by association his body too, as he could feel the speed with which he processed information, the spring-like breeze that enveloped his mind to keep him focused had dimmed significantly.

Sensing the changes, Yang Qing with a distracted and slightly confused look, finally looked up after two and a half days. He was startled at first when he noticed the scenery had changed. No overarching hills and mountains were filling the horizon or the dazzling auspicious energy that surrounded them, nor did the skies have the mythical creatures he had grown to revere.

What greeted him was the familiar scenery of countless rows of shelves filled with all manner of scrolls, books, and ball-shaped wards filled with colorful lights.

It took a few seconds before clarity entered his eyes which was followed by a sigh as he said,

"Seems my time is up.."

With another sigh of regret, he looked up with a longing look in his eyes. Above him was a blue sky filled with countless shining stars. It looked no more different than the sky outside but in Yang Qing's gaze, it was as if he could see through it, even if he couldn't. Past that sky dome lay the brilliance of the gold-grade floor.

"I can't help but feel I've been banished to the mortal world after experiencing the delights of the immortal realm. How long till I can go back there?" he said with another sigh of exasperation as he took another glance around him.

He was on the low-tier blue grade floor which by all accounts deserved its fame as a blue grade floor. The spiritual qi was as dense as that of a lesser dragon spirit vein, the arrays were all in the top tier of the blue grade, and the treasures were all phenomenal and would incite even greed from an early-stage domain expert.

It was a good place to cultivate and comprehend the dao easily, it was even better than the judge's chambers, or the cultivation abodes of those in the palace realm. Even with the impressive attributes that could be found in the nest of the celestial nesting weaver, it still fell short of the environment provided on this floor and it was understandable why when one looked at the materials that were used to build the library. The shelves were made of sage sandstone, the floor was made of heaven-

blossoming jade stones with pieces of azure serenity crystals and mindless pathway alabaster.

Except for the sage sandstone, all the others were at the absolute peak of monarch-grade materials. In contrast, the sage sandstone was an ascendant-grade material that was meant to preserve the origin essence of the things stored within the shelves. And those were just the base materials, without taking into account all the other things the Order had done to the place.

Yang Qing would get ecstatic and overwhelmed every time he stepped onto the floor, and during his leave, half of his allotted time he would spend here. It was the one place that he could genuinely say could make him forego eating, and he would not regret it, but now, after experiencing the grandeur of the low-

tier gold floor, the place had dimmed a bit losing the enchanting hold it had over him, which left him feeling out of sorts.

Yang Qing stewed in silence, with a little bit of sorrow welling up inside of him.

"Well played.." he said with a defeated smile as he looked over the scrolls, jade slips, and other pieces of information that were left over after he had been evicted from the low-tier gold-

grade floor.

The information that remained behind were those his current privilege covered and allowed him access to.

"I might as well.." Yang Qing said with a look that lacked excitement and just seemed he was going with the motions. After half an hour, he was done with the materials returning to their respective places after he willed it via his library token which no longer bore the look of a xuanwu but had switched to its original form, which was just a black scale. Another reminder that he was no longer on the gold-tier floors.

However, he didn't have too long to brood over his loss as his look turned serious as he recalled the things he had read over those two days. Ever since he became a judge, he had seen the darkness of the world and in some sense, he had thought he had seen and heard it all, but now, he couldn't help but feel what he saw and knew was nothing but the tip of an otherwise monstrously dark iceberg, and his read for the past few days, illuminated him slightly of how truly terrifying the continent he called home, was.
