Book 13, Tristar Crescent Abode, Chapter 7 – Thirty Years at Mount Innerheart

“Junior apprentice-brother, how long have you been training for?” Silvermoon asked

“More than thirty years,” Ji Ning said

Silverh “Ah, no wonder! That explains it So you’ve only been training for around thirty years For you to be able to defeat the fourth gole trained for such a short period of time…I trust that in the future, here at Mount Innerheart, your rate of i”

Ning smiled “Thank you for your kind words, senior apprentice-brother”

Under the gazes of theand Silvermoon stepped into the fourth floor of the Divinities Palace The profoundness of any of the sword-arts manuals located on the fourth floor was comparable to the complete nine stances of the [Three-Foot Sword]!

“This truly is a blessed land for learning the Dao” Ning flipped through the abridged versions of the sword-arts manuals, which included some of the preliminary parts to each technique His eyes and eyebrows danced expressively as he read “So htenained by countless Sword Immortals of the Three Realms My oord-arts will definitely improve dramatically after I draw from the wisdom of so many other Sword Immortals”

And so, Ning’s life of learning the Dao at Mount Innerheart had begun

If he wanted to leave his e, he had to at least be able to defeat the ninth golem and acquire a ninth-level technique from the Divinities Palace Only then could he enter the Three Realms Palace, and only then could he leave This was a prerequisite! He had to be trained as a personal disciple would be trained, which meant that he had to be able to enter the Three Realms Palace and learn the truly powerful divine abilities located within it This was the most funda as his apprentice; Ning understood this quite well

Ning and Yu Wei had agreed that they would reunite in the future in the Grand Xia world And so…he had to enter the Three Realms Palace as soon as he could!

Ning didn’t want to spend centuries or millennia here at Mount Innerheart; if he truly did spend thousands of years here, then what in the world would happen to the people he cared about in the Grand Xia such as Yu Wei, Autumn Leaf, Mu Northson, or Yuchi Xiyue?

“I have to defeat the ninth golem as soon as I can, ideally within a few decades” This was Ning’s goal for hioal would be “I can’t allowthis period of time at Mount Innerheart Lotus techniques, divine will techniques…I’ll put them all to one side for now Here in the Divinities Palace, I will exclusively focus on sword-arts manuals!”

Sword-arts, focused on attacks! This was Ning’s decision!

Time slowly flowed on

Ning, the Whitewater Hound, and Little Qing all spent their ti on Mount Innerheart And in fact, the Whitewater Hound and Little Qing were evento be here!

“What should I do? The third gole said helplessly

“It seeolem,” the Whitewater Hound said helplessly as well

The disciples of Mount Innerheart were alhout the Three Realms Some of the others were spirit-beasts of Celestial I ti had trained for a very short period of time

“There’s nothing we can do Let’s go do manual labor,” the Whitewater Hound said

“That’s our only option” Little Qing nodded as well

And so, both of them went to accept the manual labor ‘trials’ They spent nearly a fullhundred kilometers of land Only then were they allowed to choose a third level technique from the Divinities Palace

The techniques on the third floor of the Divinities Palace…any one of thee would becoe!

“Hahaha, so someone likesnatched up a copy of the [Qiankun Sword Song] with absolute excitement “I can now finally, truly train on the Grand Dao of Qiankun”

“These are the writings of a Celestial I a book on formations He, too, was incomparably excited

Both of theifted Uncle White was a Whitewater Hound; although in other aspects he was rather ordinary for a Godbeast, in one aspect, he was exceptional – his intelligence!

Little Qing, in turn, had absolutely astonishi+ng talent in the Grand Dao of Qiankun She was even able to use the Void Blink (spatial teleportation) technique at the Xiantian level! Although at that point in ti could actually understand the profound mysteries and principles behind spatial teleportation, this was her innate ability as a Godbeast All she had to do was be able to touch upon just the slightest bit of this Grand Dao and she would be able to teleport She didn’t need to actually understand it; just brushi+ng against the Grand Dao of Qiankun allowed it!

However, neither of two had ever had a truly good teacher! Ning had the help of the Stellar Hall of the underwater estate, and also had the guidance of I, however, had to work hard to study on their own!

Having arrived at Mount Innerheart, however, everything had changed! They had a chance to interact with so many talented humans, monsters, and FiendGods The Void-level FiendGods in particular had lived extre lives, and their level of experience was definitely not inferior to I face, they would often give pointers to Little Qing and Uncle White And occasionally, the tould even have a chance to ask the likes of the white-robed Lord Jiang or the old demon Silvermoon for some advice as well!

But most importantly of all…

Patriarch Subhuti had begun to lecture on the Dao!

Patriarch Subhuti rarely expounded on the Dao; sole lecture However, ever since he had taken on Ning as a disciple, Patriarch Subhuti iive far more open lectures on the Dao than before; in fact, he would expound on the Dao alenerally speaking, after taking in a new disciple, he would often expound on the Dao with great frequency for a time But if he didn’t take in a new disciple? He would only expound on the Dao when he was in the mood for it

After all, the Old Patriarch only truly valued his personal disciples enough to do it As for the other disciples…they generally didn’t even have a chance to meet or speak with the Old Patriarch

Thus, all of the disciples of Mount Innerheart were in a state of collective excitement Even several True Immortals or Empyrean Gods would occasionally come over to listen
