Vol 15 Chapter 1 (2/2)

“Yu Xia and I lived in an out-of-the-way place, atop a wild prairie We built a house next to a lake, and we lived a peaceful life there”

“I wish so deeply…”

“…to have been able to live there forever”

Northson shut his eyes “But then…that day caroup of black-robed men arrived, all of them Loose Immortals, and for Adept, while I had just broken through to become a Priht back”

“I was captured Yu Xia was killed After she died, her soul wasn’t permitted to be reborn; rather, it was captured as well”

Ning’s pupils shrank

Even after Yu Xia died, her soul had still been captured?

“I was brought here,” Northson said “Brought here, to this forbidden region The people in this region ordered me to help them build constructs”

“Build constructs?” Ning instantly understood “Those other gray-robed figures…they were also brought here because they were skilled in the Dao of Constructs?”

“Right There are randmasters of the Dao of Constructs in this area,” Northson said “They’ve all been brought here I suspect that the Eastwoodspoint for the mysterious power behind this place, for more than a hundred nearby commanderies”

Ning frowned “One of the gathering points? You know of other gathering points?”

“I have so these years, I’ve seen seven generals coh rank here, and all of them were at the Celestial Ieneral who is permanently stationed here, but on enerals who escorted deliveries of treasures to this place In total, I’ve seen twelve different generals!”

Ning was secretly startled

Twelve Celestial I!

“They are asking you to create constructs?” Ning asked “What sort of construct?”

“An extree one” A look of disbelief was in Northson’s eyes “This power has an extre the Dao of Constructs; their understanding, compared to the secret arts recorded doithin our Black-White College regarding the Dao of Constructs, reater!”

Ning was rather stunned upon hearing this

Billions? Trillions?! This was too insane

“Don’t think I’,” Northson immediately said “I feel that I aards to the Dao of Constructs, but when I first caht me some construct-creationthe constructs, I was inspired by the ht into the Dao of Constructs to rapidly increase”

“As an to let ly more powerful constructs They also bestowed liquefied ele me to reach the Void level and become an Earth Immortal”

“Noithin this forbidden region, I can be ranked arandht now, the other grande an incomparably massive construct It should be the ion is producing”

“Grand could hardly believe it His junior apprentice-brother had advanced so quickly?

“Senior apprentice-brother…you have no idea what life here has been like,” Northson said “They squeeze every single drop of usable energy out of you, forcing you to go all out to construct new constructs! But every single powerful construct expands our horizons as well As for the …that’s even ”

“How terrifying?” Ning asked

“Below the level of True Immortals or Empyrean Gods…it is all but invincible,” Northson said seriously “If a Celestial I it, not even ten or a hundred Celestial Iether would be able to stop it”

Ning was incomparably shocked

“Don’t be so shocked The slightly weaker golerand, when controlled by Loose Immortals, all have the cohed, “You have no idea what a deep level of understanding of the Dao of Constructs this organization has Those construct forra the Dao of Constructs, every single diagram is like a supreme treasure to us And here, I’ve already seen rams…”

Ning nodded gently “So this forbidden region is being used to produce constructs…but can it be that everyone is just willing to work here?”

“How can we be ‘willing’?” Northson said with grief, “nobody is ‘willing’ Creating these top-tier golems is extremely difficult, and it uses up a trey And yet, we are still having the life squeezed out of us; the a less and less”

“We all hate theinally wanted to die as well”

“But…Yu Xia’s soul is in their hands,” Northson said “If I diligently work to create goleo visit her once a month and speak with her But if I dare to commit suicide…once I die, they will toriving her a chance to be reborn”

Ning couldn’t help but shi+ver Never be given the chance to be reborn?

“I do not dare kill eneral, however, has voluntarily sworn an oath to the Dao of the Heavens that if we stay here and peacefully build these constructs, within a thousand years ill be granted our freedom, and the soul of our loved one will be released as well”

Freedom?

A thousand years?

Ning understood now In one hand, a big stick; in the other hand, a carrot Although the people here were being tormented and exhausted, they still saw hope, and so they were able to endure
