Song of the Sky Pacers - Ch. 90
- Thread starter MangaDex
- Start date
Alright, quite a bit to unpack for this one:
Li Yan - this was the general in the earlier arc that repelled the Di invaders, back when A-Ting killed Baili Ji. Lin ZhenZhen is a new character.
Demonic cultivators - just think of it as in an evil/heretical sense. Not necessarily of the demon race.
Tai Bai Geng Gold - No real good english translation for this. It's like a fictional metal that can be used to improve weapons. Think of it like an eastern version of mithril.
The analogy of Heavenly Network as a spider web works slightly better in Chinese as the character for Net/Network is the same as that for Spider Web (Or rather you specify that it's a spider web by adding 'spider' in front of 'net')
Kunlun Sect leader's name/title/whatever it is - This gave me a bit of grief. It's written as '帝纹仙君'. Only the second character sounds like a name and is pronounced 'Wen', although it could mean line/mark/trace as well. The first character is 'Di' which means Emperor. The last two is 'XianJun' which means Immortal Monarch/Ruler/Lord. So Chinese usually has the title at the end which is why I've translated it to Immortal Monarch Di Wen. However, it is very odd to have the Emperor character in your name so there's a chance the whole thing is a title. Maybe he's regarded as the Immortal Emperor Trace Monarch or something. It's hard to tell, hopefully his name comes up again to provide context (won't be soon though, I looked ahead a bit in the raws).
Seems like we've got a bit of a comedian in A-Ting

She did kill quite a lot and turned the tide, but he is a hero none the less. He took a demotion to protect a gate, and once other gates fell, he charged the enemy's main camp to take their leaders head. He also previously did the same before his demotion to save.. his father (?), that was captured, and rode back to the capital to give warning of a coming attack. When they meet again, might be an interesting interaction.

A-Ting is the best. I also share that weakness.

i wonder if a-ting will learn about her heritage in the mortal world and maybe meet her grandma,,, she's not supposed to entangle herself with the mortal realm but it still would be nice!

@Claith I believe it was Li Yan’s grandfather’s dead body that he rescued from the invaders, which made it even more heroic (and sad).
Great chapter! Ah-ting is so cute. the discussion about weaknesses brings such an ominous feeling though… you don’t share that unless the weakness is going to be exploited soon.
the joke about weaknesses is even funnier when we realize how many ties Ah-ting is keeping secret from others. No one alive knows she and Qu Chen are siblings, right? the only cultivator who knew was Cang Wuzi.

A-Ting also met the general after she ran away from that lady cultivator. She stopped him from eating a poisoned meal.
I didn't realize that Lin Lang's dad was the sect leader, was that mentioned before?
Fifth brother is back! I want to see more of his interactions with A-Ting, but it sounds they'll be splitting up soon.
