Book 16, The Nihilum Zone, Chapter 23 – The Return
There hite clouds in the skies A spatial vortex suddenly appeared within theside a youth
Ji Ning looked doards
He immediately saw Mount Innerheart…and he was even able to see thetheir peaceful lives there
“Let’s go” Subhuti led Ning in flying doards They quickly arrived at the most central area of Mount Innerheart – the Tristar Crescent Abode, that see Daoist monastery This was the place where Patriarch Subhuti nor and the others wouldn’t dare to go disturb him without cause
Within the Daoist monastery
Subhuti landed, then took a high seat in the lotus position
Ning respectfully bowed “If it hadn’t been for your aid, Master, your disciple would have most likely never been able to return to the Three Real forced you to exert yourself, Master”
Subhuti laughed “Sit”
Ning selected a prayer mat and sat down beneath him
“How did the karmic sinflames taste?” Subhuti asked
“I don’t wish to experience the said “The karh the burning sensation is agonizing…I can endure it The descent of the karained quite a bit from it”
“Fortune and calah “What level has your heartforce reached?”
“The third level,” Ning said
Subhuti nodded and s those aliens, your application of heartforce through your sword-fingers had reached a level where none of it leaked out whatsoever It see heartforce through your fingers”
“I did indeed learn a few things fro said
“Do you knohy those aliens did not kill you, and instead chose to battle with you for eighteen years?” Subhuti asked
Ning was startled He shook his head “Those aliens said that they were going to use et practice to train their warriors, but…I keep on having the feeling that this was perhaps not the actual reason”
Subhuti nodded gently “Your feelings were correct You are in control of heartforce, and also knoay to apply it Heartforce…it is an extremely mysterious type of power, one which even True Gods and Daofathers ponder on There are five levels of heartforce Although it is very weak in the early stages, as you go farther along this path and rise in levels, it will undergo an utterly earth-shaking transformation! The third level of heartforce is already quite astonishi+ng By using your third level heartforce, you have already reached the minimum threshold of an Empyrean God in power”
Ning understood this to be true
The first level was fairly weak; the aible The second level represented a clear, explosive increase in power…and the third level allowed one’s previous level of power to skyrocketed The fourth level was the level of the most powerful divine archers of the Three Real-vanished Houyi
“Heartforce is very powerful If you can reach the fifth level, then even as a mere Empyrean God, you would have the combat power of a Daofather or a True God” Subhuti looked at Ning “The peak power of heartforce is far greater than your [Starseizing Hand] Youuse of your talent for heartforce”
“Your disciple understands” Ning nodded
But how could the fifth level of heartforce be so easily accomplished?
The only one as publicly knoithin the Three Realms to have reached this level was Houyi Perhaps soht have secretly reached this level without telling anyone or using it…but still, one could clearly tell that reaching the fifth level was unbelievably hard
“The reason why the aliens of the Snaphorn world did not kill you was precisely because the ht-strands of the masters of the Snaphorn world had descended upon the bodies of those warriors Through battling with you repeatedly, they would be able to sense the ripples of your application of heartforce in detail, and thus be able to develop a heartforce technique,” Subhuti said “I ihts to the owner of the Snaphorn world! Heartforce…it is a technique which is unique to our Three Realht to outsiders”
“They have insights into it? It can’t be taught to outsiders?” Ning was shocked “I…”
“I’ve already annihilated the entire Snaphorn world, and the masters of the Snaphorn world are dead Even if they did come up with a bit of information on heartforce, it is of no use now,” Subhuti said
Ning let out a sigh of relief…and then stared in amazement
The Snaphorn world had been annihilated?
This entire ti him back to Mount Innerheart, histhe faintest clue about it, he had annihilated the entire Snaphorn world, including even itshad been able to tell from the battle between the seven Empyrean Gods and the three Queen Mother clones that the
“Mysecretly mused to himself
“Right That Dao-companion of yours, that Yu Wei,” Subhuti said, “She’s already overcome her tribulation and become a Celestial Immortal Did you know about this?”
“Senior apprentice-sister becahted and surprised
He was surprised because his senior apprentice-sister had actually becoo accompany Patriarch Lu, her power as displayed within the Conclave of I Who would’ve thought that in just a few short decades, she would’ve beco himself had?
“When is your Prio the Celestial Tribulation?” Subhuti asked The questions which any master cared the most about were naturally the ones related to the disciple’s tribulation This was the most difficult calamity for any Immortal cultivator to face
“Very soon,” Ning said
