Vol 25 Chapter 8 (2/2)
Whoosh
A fa windbeasts, foot upraised to deliver a kick A look of utter terror could be seen on the windbeasts’ faces
“Ahaha, brother Ji Ning! I finally found you I searched forever” The figure was initially quite blurry, but it quickly appeared before Ning It was the ragged, barefoot Daolord Solesky
“Big brother!” Ning was delighted
“I’h of relief “The Hundred Streams of the Windsource Formation is filled with twists and turns It really is a pain in the ass I could sense you weren’t too far away, but I just couldn’t find the right path to you I ended upfarther and farther away fro this formation before I could find the correct tunnel”
“All the twisting tunnels really pissed , but in the end I ed to keep my temper down” Daolord Solesky’s face was rather ashen He waved his hand towards the nearby wall
Whoosh
A giant illusory hand tore the wall open, carving out a small cave
“I suffered a bit of an injury I need to take a rest We’ll leave later,” Daolord Solesky said
“Of course I’ understood that Daolord Solesky had probably rushed off to search for hi the time to heal
“This Daolord Windsource guy really is a dumbass Even in death, he wanted to screw other people over” Daolord Solesky entered the cave, then sat down in a rather frustrated, eoodness this oldOtherwise, this old man would’ve died just now”
“Hurry up and heal,” Ning urged
“Right” Daolord Solesky nodded and closed his eyes
Ruan to radiate out fro spaceti area began to speed up rapidly, hly a hundred times faster than in the outside world Streaan to swirl around Daolord Solesky, transfory
“He’s absorbing energy froy fro was secretly speechless
Nearly an entire year went by before the process came to a halt
The streay vanished and spacetime in the cave went back to norone by within the cave, while one by in the outside world
“I’ look on his face “That Windsource idiot had to have spent a lot of ti up that nasty formation A pity for hi just three days”
“Congratulations, big brother,” Ning said
“Ahaha! Yes, I should indeed be congratulated This journey of mine into the Windsource Ruins was a success” Daolord Solesky looked at Ning “How about you? Did you get that painting?”
“Yes, I acquired the sword-ki painting” Ning nodded “However, I can’t see anything special about it at all, aside from its aura of sword-ki”
“Ahaha! You don’t get it Hand it over to me, I’ll help you take a look at it,” Daolord Solesky said
Ning waved his hand, causing the painting to appear
Daolord Solesky accepted the painting, opening it and taking a look at it He nodded slightly as he pointed at thereally is hideous E, yet he still takes delight in it If he spent just a bit of effort on the actual Dao of Painting, he would’ve ih level of skill in painting and calligraphy And yet, he refuses to actually train in it, instead insisting on treating it as his hobby”
“Ning said, “That’s how hobbies work, I suppose If he treated it as part of his cultivation, he would’ve no longer enjoyed it”
“I suppose” Daolord Solesky nodded “Your words htly, it definitely is as valuable as an Eternal weapon Ee, after all He becaure
“A successful Dao was surprised
“Yes Eternal” Daolord Solesky mused softly, a distant look in his eyes, “Truly eternal in every possible spacetime continuum No matter howThis old man is just one step away from that level…but alas, this step is the hardest step of all”
“Enough of that” Daolord Solesky looked at Ning “In short…I once had the opportunity to hly a thousand chaos cycles ago, Emperor Mirrorsnow departed and ventured off into unknown realms The endless primordial chaos is siure, Emperor Mirrorsnow naturally would want to continue his journeys and see s”
“He was a fickle, restless man He didn’t have the patience necessary to teach any disciples However, before he left, he produced a total of forty sword-ki paintings,” Daolord Solesky said
“Forty?” Ning was surprised That many?
“Right” Daolord Solesky nodded “A total of ten sets of four paintings”
“If you can collect an entire set and pass the trials he established within the paintings, you’ll be able to receive his legacy and becole set can only be successfully used once, and so theoretically speaking he can take on a total of ten disciples at most”
“But of course, Es across hed “To collect an entire set of four will be quite hard This painting that you have is the third painting in the set”
Ning immediately said, “But I didn’t discover any trials yet?”
“Haha…every single Mirrorsnow Painting actually holds an estate-world within it,” Daolord Solesky said “Once you go inside it, you’ll be given a trial If you master the relevant sword-art, you’ll have succeeded in passing the trial”
