Luo Qing was truly quite familiar with Ninelotus; the two had known each other for many years, and she had never before seen this expression on Ninelotus’ face Ninelotus had always been calround; she had been selected long ago to be the next leader of the Dongyan tribe As such, Ninelotus had naturally been given the best of training since youth To force her to reveal shyness and bashfulness…this was virtually impossible
“You…you…” Luo Qing stared, heropen as she pointed to Ninelotus “You really are…” Ninelotus quickly recovered her calm “Is there a need for you to act so shocked?”
“Shocked? Senior apprentice-sister, when you were in the Dongyan clan, you had countless ade, where many of our fellow disciples do not know of your history and background, you still have many admirers and pursuers You’ve never taken a fancy to any of the said, shocked, “Why have you taken a fancy to him? He’s a disciple of a s the Dongyan clan’s affairs in the future”
Ninelotus frowned, revealing a hint of displeasure Luo Qing hurriedly shook her head and said, “I’…I mean, you…”
“Although the tribe which Ji Ning is from is a weak and s,” Ninelotus said “You must understand that for some people, it doesn’t matter which tribe they cohtier than entire tribes”
Ninelotus had a hint of anticipation in her eyes “And…in choosing a Dao-Co one has in one’s heart He…gives ”
Luo Qing stared at Ninelotus “You really are choosing him for your Dao-Companion?” Ninelotus shook her head “Not just yet I lives, and the selection of a Dao-Co event Naturally, I’ll have to spendhim We’ve only interacted for three or soDao-Companions”
Even ether for a year or two before getting married Immortal practitioners…there were even those ould be involved with each other for centuries before finally beco Dao-Companions!
“If news of this were to spread, that the future Matriarch of the Dongyan clan has chosen a Dao-Coh “This would definitely cause a storm of commentary!”
“My choice of a Dao-Companion is mine alone Who can intervene?” Ninelotus was very cal could sense how resolved Ninelotus was, and she immediately said, “Senior apprentice-sister, I won’t try to dissuade you fro here, you’ll be able to i of your lotus techniques, and also continue to inspect a potential future Dao-Co here is pointless…I’ for half a year, then return to the Black-White College”
A look of guilt appeared on Ninelotus’ face, and she took Luo Qing by the hand “Qingqing, we said that we’d go out adventuring together…I’m sorry”
“It’s fine Since you are choosing a Dao-Companion, as your junior apprentice-sister, of course I’ll be supportive,” Luo Qing said with a laugh
The next day, Luo Qing departed, having been sent off by Ji Ning and the others As for Ning and Ninelotus, they continued to live quite peacefully on Brightheart Island, discussing the Dao every few days
“Eh?” Late one night Ning, who had been seated in the lotus position on his bed, suddenly revealed a hint of excitement “It seems that over the course of the past five months, all these discussions on the Dao with senior apprentice-sister Ninelotus has causedof the ways in which fire and water support and neutralize each other to rise significantly I’ve finally understood the final principles that were necessary for a breakthrough to the tenth stage of the [Criram of the Nine Heavens]”
“In I go” Ning willed it, and instantly, a giant phantom of a bear’s head appeared out of nowhere within the roo within it And, just like that, Ning disappeared
Within the iant prayercasually chose one of the a seat in the lotus position
“Ji Ning, kid, why’ve you returned so soon after your last trip?” The old black bull looked at Ning At this iant yellow bear suddenly h If he were to make it in his own room, it would probably be destroyed In addition, to be a bit more cautious, he decided to come here, to the underwater estate, which naturally would be the safest place”
Ning sat there in the lotus position, having absorbed hisit coin”
Since he had already grasped the essence of it, Ning ian to activate the principles of the [Criram of the Nine Heavens] Whoosh!+ Whoosh!+
Upon Ning’s bared back, the Divine Solar Tattoo and the Divine Lunar Tattoo all suddenly lit up with incoan to resonate with those two most supreme of celestial bodies, the Solar Star and the Lunar Star, which were located an unfathomable distance away and separated by countless realan to send out a stream of Solar Truefire and Lunar Truewater towards him
To advance froe was a major leap between realms With each major transformation, the Solar Star and the Lunar Star would provide their assistance, causing the divine body to become transformed once more
“Breakthroughs via the [Criraiant yellow bear stared at the lotus flowers, sta, all of which looked just like real ones Ning was completely enfolded within the lotus flower “Each time, there will be Solar Truefire and Lunar Truewater to assist This sort of divine body will thus have the potential to control Solar Truefire and Lunar Truewater in the future”
“To advance from earthfire and dire-ice to skyfire and sky-ice, then to Solar Truefire and Lunar Truewater…” The nearby black bull shook his head “That is all too far off Generally speaking, only Celestial Immortals and Empyrean Gods have the chance to control Solar Truefire and Lunar Truewater…and that’s just a chance”
A cultivator had to start by nurturing earthfire, then slowly i it to the point of it beco Solar Truefire when the cultivator became a Celestial Immortal!
“He’s aliant yellow bear said Indeed The Waterfla to turn translucent; clearly, the truefire and truewater within had slowly been co The translucent petals of the Waterfla within the heart of the lotus Every single part of Ning’s body was incomparably perfect; it was the body of a FiendGod!
Ning opened his eyes, and the fur clothes appeared on his body They still appeared just like the ones his mother had made for him
“I broke through,” Ning said with a smile What massive, majestic divine power His entire body coursed with a flood of strength!
