Escorted by a chorus of respectful calls, Ji Ning arrived at the entrance to the Tristar Crescent Abode Holding a brooan to personally sweep the mountain paths
Sweep Sweep The fallen leaves on the ground were all being swept away
“That’s odd”
“The Patriarch is personally sweeping the mountain paths? Isn’t that the trial for the first level of the Divinities Palace?”
“The Patriarch can enter even the ninth level whenever he pleases, to say nothing of the first He defeats the ninth golem with utter ease”
“But the Patriarch truly is sweeping the paths personally Are we seeing things?”
“Maybe…”
The two Dao-novitiates ere guarding the entrance stared in a personally sweep the es to each other regarding this News quickly began to spread, and soon all of the disciples of Mount Innerheart came to know of it

“Uncle-master”
The two Dao-novitiates at the entrance to the monastery both called out respectfully One of the two, Clearwater, also added, “Uncle-master, the Patriarch has sent word that you are to be allowed direct entry”
Ning nodded, smiled, then passed in
Within the Daoist monastery
There was a prayer ion with a skinny old man dressed in loose Daoist robes seated atop it The old man’s hair was completely white, but he didn’t seeh this person had reached the level of infinite eternity In addition, he also could sense a boundless life-force co couldn’t help but feel his own spirit co down, thanks to his master’s simple presence
“Master” Ning walked in, then called out respectfully
“Sit,” the Old Patriarch said

The Old Patriarch looked at Ning, then said slowly, “How long have you spent on Mount Innerheart?”
“It has already been more than thirty years and five…this year shall be the thirty-sixth,” Ning said respectfully
“Which abilities have you learned?” The Old Patriarch asked
“Your disciple has learned the [Eight-Nine Arcane Art] and reached the Third Cycle! I’ve just reached a basic level of skill in [Houyi’s Archery] I have also trained in the [Torch Dragon’s Eye] and reached the second stage of innate torch-light! In the past thirty-plus years, your disciple has primarily focused on swordplay; I’ve already mastered the ninth stance of the [Three-Foot Sword], and have learned other,said respectfully

Ning instantly felt intrigued
“After you enteredyour comprehension ability, your talent, your habits…all for the sake of developing a completely unique evasion divine ability for you, known as the [Obscuring Wind of the Nine Heavens],” the Old Patriarch said
