Vol 20 Chapter 22 (1/2)
Book 20, Jindan Upgrade, Chapter 22 – I Don’t Regret It
“Right” Empyrean God Oddwitch said in his hoarse voice, “Because you need to constantly battle, there’s no way you can just use up all your divine power as you please; you need to conserve it and use it sparingly Darknorth, when you challenge the pass, you’ll have to rely on your swordforce when you fight Swordforce comes from the very essence of the sword itself, and so it is endless and inexhaustible”
Ji Ning nodded If he truly did have to fight for a century, thentechniques would be useless This was because the ay consumed by the ninth-level [Greater Thousand Swords Forave hiy than he had before, far more than any ‘ordinary’ True Immortal had, it still wasn’t possible for him to inexhaustibly release jade swords He would only be able to unleash them for half a day at most, much less a century
To battle for extended periods of time, he would have to rely on swordforce! As for divine abilities…Ning wouldn’t even dare to use [Three Heads, Six Ar Hand]; that would use up divine power at far too fast a rate
The only way Ning would be able to fight for a century would be if he was able to ensure that the amount of divine power he used up was no more than the amount he was able to naturally replenish
“So challenging De an endless swar asked
“Almost all of the said “A demon co will appear once towards the end However, when the co appears, they will appear by themselves! The lesser demons, however, will come in an endless horde; there simply is no way you can possibly massacre them all No matter how many you kill, more will be reformed and manifested”
Ning nodded
“Actually, aside fro for a century, there’s oneonce told us that if you can fight your way all the the way to the end of Demon Icepass and step onto the other island, that would of course be considered success as well”
“Yeah, but how?”
“Right, that’s si you, you wouldn’t be able toof a hundred”
They all chimed in with their opinions
Ning agreed with their opinions as well Each of the islands was separated from the others by an enormous amount of distance Even the Ruyi Soulsnake Shuttle would have to fly for a long period of ti countless demons, one would only be able to advance at a very slow pace A thousand years? Not even ten thousand years would necessarily be enough
“Ji Ning,” Feiyou said with a laugh, “Battling for a hundred years is actually quite beneficial to us I’ve undergone more than a thousand of those hundred-year battles, but each tih to proceed…but those wild battles caused me to continuously improve and perfect my short halberd techniques In fact, I was even able to develop e those two types of force together I trust when e, I’ll be able to make it past”
Feiyou’s infiniforce had reached the fourth stage, whereas his taiji-force was only at the second stage
“Right It is of tremendous benefit”
“The first hundred-year battle is particularly helpful The later ones become less and less helpful”
“You’ll knohen you give it a try”
After chatting with the nine for a period of ti Dee, only one step would remain before he could leave
“Darknorth” Empyrean God Eastvoid suddenly spoke out
“Eh?” Ning looked towards hi “What is it?”
Eastvoid hesitated for a while, then finally said, “I very nearly died during this des My talent and my abilities were fairly ordinary for Eh my time in Undermoon Lake has increasedevery single de it past it My current level of power is a li himself said, and Ito have an extre it out of this place I want you to help me out…and take me out with you”
“You are going to give up?” Ning was surprised Everyone who made it to Myriad Mountains Island had been allowed to choose a treasure But anyone who gave up would have to give up the treasure as well! And since they were indeed quite close to being able to leave, there weren’t ive up at this point
“I’ve seen through to the truth of things, past the allure of treasures If Undermoon Lake wishes to retake those treasures, let it I really want to leave I want to see my master, my fellow disciples, my own apprentices” A reminiscent look appeared within Eastvoid’s eyes In the past, when he lived surrounded by all his loved ones, he didn’t realize what a pricelessly wonderful life he had But now, after spending countless years here in Undermoon Lake, he deeply missed his master and the others
“Darknorth…help
“If you’ve ree to your request It won’t costsaid
“I’ll leave as well,” Empyrean God Cloudscar said “I can understand how Eastvoid is feeling Like hi, long tiility techniques are good,the level of power necessary to go through Deuardian Darknorth, you have a good chance of escaping this place I’ to follow you”
“My dear, old brothers…all of you want to leave this place?” Feiyou was rather saddened
“Big brother Feiyou”
“We…simply see no hope for us at all”
Of the nine Empyrean Gods present, there were actually five illing to follow Ning
They were Eastvoid, Cloudscar, Oddwitch, Skyriver, and Zhenbu They no longer saw any hope for success for the had an extre this place, and with the jade sword attack Ning had revealed filling the and escape this place, reuniting once
But of course, the nine all felt a bit saddened as well As they began tosuddenly fell silent
The nine didn’t notice at first, but eventually they began to realize that so was off with him
“Darknorth, what’s wrong?” Feiyou asked, “Although I a, I can understand their feelings Why is it that you have suddenly…”
