Vol 9 Chapter 16 (1/2)
Book 9, Ji Ning of Serpentwing Lake, Chapter 16 – Co the Dao in the Stellar Hall
The large, ancient hall was the saiant prayer mats remained in the same positions as they had for trillions of years
Ning materialized out of nowhere within this iant yellow bear, and he hurriedly said with respect, “Ji Ning greets you two, seniors”
“Late Wanxiang stage?” The giant yellow bear nodded slightly “You’ve improved quite quickly as a Ki Refiner, but you have only reached the ninth stage as a FiendGod You are a bit slower”
“Already at the Wanxiang level?” The old black bull was quite surprised He looked at Ning “Ji Ning, kiddo, it seeh you are already much more powerful than our fourthlevel, you know”
Ning just grinned As for the giant yellow bear, he nodded “Ji Ning is naturally much more powerful than Rampart; his talent is comparable to a reincarnated Immortal’s”
“You praise h Naturally, he felt quite pleased at being praised “I wonder howthe third level of the WarGod Hall?”
“Less than ten percent” The giant yellow bear shook his head “What?!” Ning was shocked When he had left S Mountain and gone to Stillwater City, he had already successfully passed the second level of the WarGod Hall In the past four years, he had only grown more powerful as a FiendGod Body Refiner, and had embarked on the path of the Dao of the Sword…and yet the spirit of the estate, the giant yellow bear, was actually saying with great certainty that he had less than a ten percent change of passing the third level?
“Senior, you don’t even knohat level I have reached in the sword,” Ning protested The giant yellow bear shook his head “Ji Ning, you don’t understand The first and second levels of the WarGod Hall, upon being coic treasures or items of comparable value But the third and fourth levels, when coic treasures or items of comparable value…in short, after every two levels of the WarGod Hall, the difficulty skyrockets”
“Skyrockets?” Ning frowned
“Right The first and second levels of the WarGod Hall are generally meant to be a test for FiendGods who have reached the Zifu level The third and fourth levels, however, arelevel” The giant yellow bear looked towards Ning “Generally speaking, only when FiendGods have reached the Wanxiang level will they have a chance at passing the third level of the WarGod Hall You are only at the ninth stage of the [Criram of the Nine Heavens]; your fundah you have divine abilities, the test has already accounted for them as well; these are tests meant for the heirs of Master, after all”
“For exahth levels of the WarGod Hall are meant to test FiendGods who have reached the Void level of power In the past, Ih as a FiendGod Body Refiner, and so although he did break through as a Ki Refiner, and he even reached the peak of the Void level as a Ki Refiner, he was still unable to pass the seventh level Only after he trained for many years and became a Loose Immortal was he able to pass the seventh level…froine how difficult it is”
Ning nodded silently Right Immortal Juhua, even as a peak Void-level Ki Refiner, was unable to pass the seventh level Thus, for a peak Wanxiang-level Ki Refiner to pass the third level would be similarly difficult One had to have the finest FiendGod Body Refining techniques, a high level of insight into the Dao, and and a divine ability like the [Starseizing Hand], or one of the other top three divine abilities in the Divine Abilities Hall, in order to be able to pass it
These were the trials left behind by Daoist Threelives!
“But of course, you can try if you want,” the giant yellow bear said “At the Zifu level, as a FiendGod, you have two chances to challenge the WarGod Hall You’ve only used one; you have one more!”
Ning laughed “No rush The o visit the Stellar Hall” The old black bull said hurriedly, “Let me take you there The WarGod Hall is extremely difficult; in the past, it drove Immortal Juhua nearly insane The Stellar Hall is much better; it is completely filled with theit”
The giant yellow bear followed theether towards the Stellar Hall
Within the Stellar Hall The giant reen, verdant life Beneath that mountain, the stones remained strewn about wildly, with a thatched straw hut in the mist of the stars
“Each ti looked towards the stream of water which flowed atop sorew amidst them He stared at the stars in the sky, each of which made him feel extremely aware of the profundity of the Dao “That one is the Dao of the Inferno That one is…the Dao of the Sword?”
Ning raised his head, giving it a look “The Dao of the Sword?!” Ning couldn’t help but let out a startled cry The nearby old black bull gave hilance “You’ve embarked onto the Dao of the Sword?”
Ning nodded “Right After leaving S Mountain, I went to Stillwater City Shortly after I entered the Black-White College, I embarked on the Dao of the Sword”
“In the past, Juhua embarked on the Dao of the Sword as well Immortal Juhua was an extremely famous Sword Immortal…unfortunately, he wasn’t able to completely comprehend the Dao of the Sword” The old black bull shook his head and sighed
“The Dao of the Sword is one of the Grand Daos” The giant yellow bear walked towards them from behind, then said leisurely, “If you have the heart of a Sword Ih level of coenerally be able to embark on the Dao of the Sword”
Ning muttered to himself It was easy for the bear to say that, but in the entire Black-White College, aside fro was the only person to eh the bear viewed it as quite a simple matter Still…the spirit of the estate had previously followed Daoist Threelives, a Primordial FiendGod It only s
