Book 25, Novessence Thunder, Chapter 23 – The Treasury’s Trial

Ji Ning was transported into the blurry region of light

“Eh?” Ning stared in surprise In front of hilobe above the coffin There were nine walls of light in total, and each of the, fiery-red runes

“Pass through all nine restrictive spells and you shall acquire the treasure” A boo’s ears

Ning was puzzled

Where did that voice come from? Was it the voice of Daolord AllGod, or was it the voice of a treasure spirit?

“Who cares” It didn’t reallyneeded to knoas that he had to be on his best behavior in a place which had been established by a Daolord of such incredible power

“Pass through all nine restrictive spells? How?”

Ning stared at the first light barrier and the fiery red runes flowing atop it

“Doesn’t see quickly came to understand how the barrier worked He pressed his paly Because Ning had already comprehended its mysteries, he was easily able to master it and take control over it

“Disperse” Ning willed the light barrier to disperse Whoosh The first light barrier coht more behind

Ning once more advanced forward The second barrier was also one covered by divine runes pertaining to the Dao of Fire, but they were clearlyseveral times as he stared at those runes

“I had no idea the difference betweenmumbled to himself He was both an Elder God and an Ancestral Iiven the exact saiven She had said that she was ‘very close’ to succeeding, which ht barrier and was very close to solving it”

“I…can’t even understand the runes on this eighth barrier” Ning shook his head “I really am weak in the Dao of Fire”

Despite this setback, Ning wasn’t too disappointed

Cultivation was a path filled with choices! If you chose to focus your efforts in areas you were skilled in, you would be able to advance h certain bottlenecks Ning was best suited to the Dao of the Sword Even Lu Dongbin and Patriarch Subhuti had seen this in hi had hs in heartforce as well, heartforce rereat war that had shaken the Three Reale His Dao of the Sword, however, had advanced quite rapidly He was now just one step away froe swordforce, the ‘Sword World’ level He had even invented a first stance for his [Quintessence Sword-Intent], the ‘Blackmist’ stance, and this stance was nearly as powerful as the third stance of the [Nameless] sword-art, the ‘Great Firmament’ stance

The power of this technique was so great that it was superior to some weaker Sword Worlds!

All Sword Immortals trained in the Dao of the Sword, but no tord Worlds were the sa, others were insidious Even two cultivators who trained in the exact sahts into it As for the ‘Great Firmament’ stance, it would result in one of the most powerful types of Sword World

“The Dao of the Sword is hed

“Uh…” Ning’s face suddenly went blank

“That voice said that I had to ‘pass through all nine restrictive spells’” Ning glanced at the eight light barriers reh’ It didn’t say how I had to pass through”

“When I bind and take control over the restrictive spells, I can disperse the’s eyes “But…if I forcibly break through theh”

There were tays of dealing with any formation

The first method was to understand the formation and then break it down on a technical level This hat Ning had done with the initial light barrier, and it was the most common solution

The second method was just to overpower it with raw force!

It didn’t matter how profound a for raw, overwhel power!

“Would I be able to breach a for mused to himself

He pondered for a moment, then he bowed respectfully and called out, “Revered Daolord, this junior is not capable of passing through these nine barriers throughthem However, this junior would like to be so bold as to atte raer”

After speaking, Ning turned his gaze towards the eight light barriers

“Break!” Ning thrust out his palers The streak of light had the vague for’s azureflowereven activated the Seventh Cycle of the [Starseizing Hand] in his two hands, ers comparable to Dao weapons

Boom!

As Ning struck out, the second barrier of light trembled then shattered apart

“It broke?” Ning was overjoyed However, he wasn’t in a hurry to press the attack, instead pausing for a brief moment to see if there were any repercussions

Nothing happened

“It seeh the formation isn’t considered a violation of the Daolord’s decree”

“Let ht hand quickly executing the savage ‘Blood Drop’ stance as he sent it stabbing towards a light barrier Whoosh!+ It struck out like a sharp sword, stabbing into the light barrier The light barrier trembled twice, then shattered apart
