Book 13, Tristar Crescent Abode, Chapter 3 – The Patriarch Accepts a Disciple
“I…” The giant yellow bear looked at the Patriarch
“He died He died long ago He died within that tribulation” The Patriarch shook his head “Given Threelives’ temperament, if he was still alive, how could he not coh countless ages by yourself? Little bear, you clearly knew the truth…you just weren’t willing to believe it”
Drip! Drip!
One teardrop after another fell onto the ground The giant yellow bear’s kneeling body was shaking He let out an agonized h…”
The agonized cry caused Ning’s own heart to feel sour as well
“Master…tiive this little bear for his earlier outburst”
“Alright,” the Patriarch said, “You can go back to the Starseizing Manor You cannot break away fro Manor for now”
“Yes” The giant yellow bear responded respectfully, then disappeared, having once more returned to the underwater estate
Although Ning felt s the spirit of the underwater estate had for Daoist Threelives, he had noticed a few puzzling points Since the giant yellow bear was the spirit of the estate…why did he see creature? He even shed tears? And the Patriarch had even said that he couldn’t break away fro Manor yet? Could it be that he could in the future?
However, given that the spirit of the estate had already been within it for countless years without breaking free, it probably would take it a very, very long ti
“Ji Ning” The Patriarch looked at Ning “Threelives is dead I will teach you the Dao in his place Are you willing to take me as your teacher?”
Ning ireets you, Master!”
“Mm” The Patriarch revealed a hint of a smile “From today onwards, you shall be one of the honorary disciples of my school Once you become a Celestial Immortal after your tribulation, you shall become my personal disciple”
“Yes,” Ning said respectfully
“There aren’t too many rules in my school Just two”
“One: You must not be disobedient and unfilial”
“Two: Without my permission, in the outside world you cannot say that I am your master,” the Patriarch said “If you violate these rules…for a lesser infraction, I will kill you, wipe your memory, and return you to the cycle of reincarnation For a severe infraction, I will destroy your soul For an extremely severe infraction…I will h truefire”
Ning said respectfully, “Your disciple understands Then…when can I say that I am your disciple?”
“When the time comes, you shall naturally be perh “Alternately, if you can reach your eldest apprentice-brother’s level of power, you can also tell whoever you please”
Ning was secretly speechless Eldest apprentice-brother? He was the nust the hed at his own inferiority How could it possibly be easy for him to reach such a level of power?
“As for whether or not you act virtuously or evilly in the future, I won’t interfere I only ask that you act in accordance with your true nature,” the Patriarch said
“Yes,” Ning said
“Step forward Co was startled, but heto the Patriarch’s side
Suddenly…
The Patriarch stretched a finger out, tapping Ning on the center of his forehead This was a siuard The tap landed directly on his forehead
Rumble…
Ning’s entire body turned soft He sat down on the ground, then shut his eyes He just sat there
The Patriarch s He then closed his own eyes as well, no longer paying any attention
A lonely corridor The two sides of the corridor were covered with paintings of various sword-art techniques The sword-arts in the paintings were eventhe profound mysteries within
Ning walked forward through the corridor, staring at the endless sword-arts lining the two sides
“These sword-arts are fairly ordinary; they aren’t even co walked forward
He forgot why he had come here
He forgot about the past
All he kneas that he alking deeper and deeper through this corridor
The sword-arts on the two sides continuously ed to separate fro him to understand the mysteries within them
“This place…has reached the power of the second stance of the [Three-Foot Sword]”
Ning continued to walk forward After walking for a short period of tian to de the Dao of the Sword in fine detail Ning had originally thought that he had a high level of comprehension of the Dao of the Sword, but he now realized that his insights were insufficiently detailed! Evil…doe…all sorts of sword-arts were being displayed before him
“This place…has reached the level of the third stance of the [Three-Foot Sword]”
He had no idea how long he had been walking for
“This place…has already reached the level of the seventh stance of the [Three-Foot Sword]” Ning continued to walk forward, constantly interacting with large a’s foundation becao reached the level of the seventh stance, his insights into the Dao of the Sere now significantly greater than before
After yet another long period of time
“This is now at the level of the eighth stance of the [Three-Foot Sword]” Ning felt that walking foras becoly difficult The countless sword-arts around hi all sorts of profoundbuffeted by theroer
“The level of the ninth stance of the [Three-Foot Sword]” The sword-arts becale sword-art surrounding him was comparable to the ninth stance of the [Three-Foot Sword], and countless sword-arts were on display Although Ning couldn’t comprehend them, the fundamental ’s soul
As he walked forward, the techniques vastly surpassed the [Three-Foot Sword]
