Book 14, Return to the Grand Xia, Chapter 1 – Ho
The world of the Grand Xia Stillwater Commandery
A spatial ripple appeared in the air above Serpentwing Lake From within, out strode a plainly dressed youth, a snohite hound by his side and a little azure serpent around his arm
“We’re back”
Ji Ning stared doards at Serpentwing Lake He murmured softly, “When I left here, I fled in such a pathetic state But now…no one should even think about forcing ain!”
Ning felt closer to this lake than anything else If it hadn’t been because the Youngflame clan was sohave beared to part from it?
Swoosh With a single step, Ning arrived within Brightheart Island, at the very center of Serpentwing Lake
The buildings of Brightheart Island had all been rebuilt There were quite a few servants and guards present As Ning strolled forward through the sand, he quietly gazed at everything and everyone His divine sense had long ago encapsulated the entire island “When I fled, Brightheart Island had been leveled by the Youngflame clan I didn’t expect that it would have been rebuilt, and that it would be built to look exactly the way it did in the past However…it seenize”
“I iine that elder sister Autumn Leaf is still at the City of Ten Thousand Swords”
Ning took a walk around Brightheart Island He visited the place where Autumn Leaf had previously stayed, as well as the place where his father had once lived The servants and guards didn’t see him at all
Brightheart Island of Serpentwing Lake was Ning’s ho
“This tihtheart Island again,” Ning murmured softly “Uncle White It’ll be up to you”
The Whitewater Hound behind Ning spoke out “I’ve analyzed quite a few grand formations at Mount Innerheart, and within some of the secret tomes on formations there were also soh I haven’t thoroughly co them up in accordance with the instructions will prove siion, all hundred thousand kilorand formations! Formations within formations within fore in here”
“Good” Ning nodded
A powerful school or sect would definitely layerformations around its headquarters
In order to lay down a formation, one would first need to procure a forh treasures to actually set it up Thus, the forenerations of disciples of the school The longer a school’s history, the more complicated and powerful itsany enemy to hesitate!
Although Ning and the Whitewater Hound didn’t have that sort of long history and background, they were the disciples of Mount Innerheart!
Forenerally weren’t valued that much, and so the formation tomes which Uncle White had acquired on the sixth floor of the Divinities Palace were already some of the supreme formations of the entire Three Realms Naturally, he had learned an enorhly mastered, while others he had not, but even those he had notto the instructions
“Uncle White,” Little Qing said, “I heard that some major schools take up hundreds of thousands of kilometers, all of which is completely covered up by forenerations of Loose Immortals and Celestial Immortals You need to make sure that our formations aren’t weaker than theirs!”
“We are of Mount Innerheart; our formations are unfathomably more profound than the formations of those so-called ic treasures…I can turn the entire S Mountain into an unbreakable steel dome”
“Right When the time comes, let’s pay a trip to the imperial capital and buy some formations materials Uncle White, think about what you need and prepare a list,” Ning said
“I will I’ll co formations that I’ve learned from those formation manuals”
A short while later Outside the City of Ten Thousand Swords
The gates to the city were open Ning led a snohite hound inside through the city gates The gateguards couldn’t see them at all; naturally, they wouldn’t bar their way
“The changes are so significant” Ning murmured softly, “In the past, the City of Ten Thousand Swords had many ordinarythe streets Now…everything has changed There are very few mortals here”
The many former residences of the City of Ten Thousand Swords had all been demolished, and the entire city had been completely renovated in a beautiful manner!
Within the city, there were now far more soldiers! There were also many more men and women that were dressed in absolutely beautiful clothes
“Even I can barely recognize this place I feel as though the City of Ten Thousand Swords has been transforhed in amazement
Whoosh Ning swept forith his divine sense
Within an estate, there were terful I wine – Imed; they could sense an inco divine sense sweep past them! Just from this divine sense alone…they could tell that the wielder was above ordinary Loose Immortals and Earth Immortals It was extre divine sense
“Not good” Immortal Duohe and Immortal Witchsui both were shocked “An enemy!”
“Wait”
Puzzled looks quickly appeared on their faces The divine sense seemed rather familiar…
“Fellow Daoist Ji Ning?” They shared a glance of disbelief…but indeed, when they carefully checked again, that surge of divine sense did indeed belong to Ji Ning However, it was even raceful than before
“Immortal Witchsui, I sent mentally
“Alright,” the two Diremonster Immortals assented
Within a secluded courtyard in the City of Ten Thousand Swords Autu care of her flowers She had lived by herself for the past few decades, quietly focusing on her training Without planning to, she actuallylevel Although Ning had previously provided her with soh this was partially due to the fact that the Ji clan now had a prodigious Dao-repository, her own talent clearly was exceptional as well
“Auntie” A youth walked in, a look of absolute delight on his face and a look of yearning in his eyes “Auntie, auntie, my swordplay has reached the ‘one with the world’ level”
“Oh?” Autu as she looked at the youth “One with the world?”
“Right right! When I was out adventuring and fighting Direh and my swordplay reached the ‘one with the world’ level,” the youth said excitedly “Auntie, you promised me to teach me a powerful sword-art when I reached the ‘one with the world’ level”
