Divine Promise: For successfully making it to Royal Phoenix Academy before the end of the month, there will be one Divine Tome of particular use to you somewhere within the stacks of the school’s libraries. Assuming you can find it, and earn access to it.
Divine Fate Cards Possessed
Jade Divine Fate Card: Nemesis. 8 Qi Points reserved.
You may pick one host (including yourself) and one target. Host will be permanently obsessed with killing target over all future lives. Host will automatically know where his target is at all times. Host has +8 to all stealth checks against his opponent. all body cultivation techniques, armor, and Qi Wards used by the target are nullified against host. All regeneration techniques are nullified against wounds caused by the host. Warning: once in effect, this card cannot be revoked.
Bronze Divine Fate Card: Soul Link. 2 Qi points reserved.
This card may be placed upon any target you choose. All damage taken by linked soul will instead be taken by yourself. This card may be removed any time after sunset, and may be placed upon a fresh soul after sunrise. You may surrender this card at will, so long as your words can be heard by all parties. Warning: Contenders are now in play who can channel the River of Souls! Saving throws versus oblivion must be made against all such attacks, regardless of ascension base.
Divine Fate Cards Currently Affecting You
Cleaved Fates – You have been cleaved of Karma’s wheel. No virtuous deed done in this or any past life will result in unexpected boons of luck, elevate your soul, or have any effect on others’ impressions of you. No ancestor of any soul you rescued in a previous life will show you unearned kindness in this one. No person you aid in this life will feel any obligation of gratitude beyond that which their temperament would normally allow.
Additionally, no deed you commit, no matter how vile, will affect your standing in any future life, risk sending your soul to hell, or have any effect on others’ impressions of you.
Note: Elder Forest takes exception, and will judge you according to your actions in the wilds, just as it has during all previous incarnations.
Fog of War – You are completely invisible to all your divine enemies! All interactions between them and their earthly allies will be fraught with miscommunication, effectively rendering you immune to direct retaliation!
Note: your divine enemies can still attempt to strike at you indirectly through traps, enticements, or by targeting those of your race or group, though they will not be able to sense your location directly.
Note: Binding Oaths are now in effect. Your enemies are no longer permitted to indiscriminately slaughter Ruidians, kitsune, or natives for the express purpose of causing you harm. (Though they may do so as otherwise permitted by the rules of The Game.)
Congratulations! Fate now recognizes you as a Rank 1 Contender!
Karma may no longer affect you, but The Game is still keeping score!

Thank You
Thanks again for checking out my series. Without the interest and support of readers like yourself, there’s no way I could do what I do, and I’m grateful for each day that I have the opportunity to write for you. That being said, I know that finding the next great novel is a passion for many of us, and I thought I’d share a few of my favorite authors, assuring you plenty of great cultivation stories to enjoy!
Curious to see just how deadly a cultivator you can become with the aid of a magic brush? Then I highly recommend Painting the Mists by Patrick Laplante. Packed with adventure, intrigue, strong friendships, and plenty of character advancement and skill progression, it’s a wonderful series with nine books out so far.
Tao Wong, in addition to writing some wonderful LitRPG with his System Apocalypse series, has also written the first four novels of an epic cultivation series filled with challenging adversaries, solid character progression, exciting breakthroughs, and some epic fight scenes! If you like visceral combat, well written sword duels, and earning every step of your growth, then check out A Thousand Li: The First Step.
If you’re interested in chatting with other fans of Cultivation novels, then check out the Facebook group Cultivation novels where you can meet fellow fans and get some great Wuxia and Xianxia recommendations.
Another great option for finding your next cultivation read would be the Facebook group Western Cultivation Stories.
For those of you interested in chatting with other GameLit readers and writers, I’d like to recommend the Facebook group GameLit Society. Founded by Blaise Corvin, author of the Nora Hazard and Delvers LLC series, (which I definitely recommend checking out!) it’s a great place to hang out, connect with authors and fellow readers, and find your next great read.
Several additional LitRPG Facebook groups I also like to hang out in include:
