Vol 28 Chapter 44 (1/2)
Book 28, Archaeus Region, Chapter 44 – Emperor Gonflame
E hesitated for amore than a World-level cultivator There was probably only one possible reason why Emperor Gonflame wished to meet him in person…
The Paragon of Pills!
Eon of Pills, while the Paragon had an extraordinarily close relationshi+p with Ning’s deceased Hegemon master Most likely, she could be considered his master’s wife, almost like a Godmother
“Lead the way,” Ning said
“Follow me” The attendant immediately led the way forwards, but in his heart he couldn’t help but feel puzzled at what the relationshi+p was between this young World-level cultivator and his Emperor was
The attendant led Ning forwards A short while later, it was an E
A short while later, they reached an enormous, peaceful courtyard There were two lakes within the courtyard, one of which was filled with a blazing, lava-like liquid As for the second lake, it was filled with a freezing liquid that was so cold as to cause the surrounding area to be blanketed in frost Between that blazing lake and the freezing lake was an ancient, stunted-looking tree that was nonetheless large in size
Beneath the tree, there was a table, a chair, and a man
The fiery-haired hing Ning with a judging look in his eyes
“Emperor,” the retainer said respectfully, “Darknorth has arrived”
“You may leave,” Emperor Gonfla behind only Ning and Emperor Gonflame
“This junior greets you, E bowed respectfully
“No need to stand on ceremony with estured towards the seat opposite hiesture and sat down
“Have a taste The wine here was delivered to me by the various Daolords who have asked me to help them create various treasures I don’t even know the names of half of the wine here, nor do I care I’ve already spent countless a the properties of variousthe same for my food and wine as well,” Emperor Gonflame said
Ning nodded “I can iine howthe number one artificer of this entire universe”
“I actually happen to like being an artificer When I followed Master, I was nothing more than one of her many disciples and retainers I was a coure” A reminiscent look was in E as a cultivator, but I really did like working as an artificer, and so I poured all of ht that I would end up beco a Daolord of the Fourth Step, and then just naturally break through to become an Eternal E close attention to uide me and assistit”
Ning couldn’t help but secretly sigh For Eained eternity was proof that if you truly devoted yourself to a particular trade or craft, you could make miracles happen! But of course, that was also only if you had ayour path The Paragon was one of the three ancient Pris who had existed since the birth of this universe, after all Even though she didn’t spend , she still ranked as one of the top three in this universe For her to help guide Emperor Gonflame in this was naturally quite simple for her
If he had just blindly studied without having such a wise teacher, it was unlikely that he would’ve been able to gain eternity!
“I noticed you as soon as you arrived here” E
“Huh?” Ning was startled
“M so many treasures placed before you In the end, you chose a lifeblood weapon” Emperor Gonflame smiled and nodded “Not bad It seeure, you still have to rely on your oer To rely on strange curios and ancient artifacts… that path is a path which rarely leads to beco truly unstoppable”
“You are a sword cultivator The sword cultivators who truly were the do more than the sword in their hands, or perhaps the powerful secret arts they ht’ve come up with,” Emperor Gonflame said
Ning nodded, understanding as being imparted In the ancient library of the Sword Palace, he had seen quite a few secret arts and thus understood that hty secrets arts they had developed This was true for virtually all of the monstrously talented ones!
“The ly powerful Daolords and Emperors all have their own unique techniques” Ehed “Some Daolords have such powerful abilities that even I would rather keep my distance from them For example, there is a Daolord I know named Daolord Otherpath who used his own Dao to create a truly unearthly secret art HeSea of Glass, so which naturally for Glass Forlass and sent it surging towards you Upon being trapped by it… even someone like me would probably perish”
Ning was secretly speechless Still, itthe Three Realh he was merely a Daolord of the Third Step, his Numerancy divination poere sier was near, he would i it almost impossible to kill him Even worse – if you offended him but were unable to kill him, he would be able to divine all sorts of ways to deal with you or act against your interests This hy Daolord Badlands was actually quite a dangerous person
“Those unearthly Daolords have all trained their own Daos to an absolute apex, giving them inconceivable amounts of power Even worse, they all but seek out excuses to try and kill an Emperor so as to establish their reputations” E eternity is no easy feat, and yet the weaker Eternal Emperors are hunted down so mercilessly that they don’t even dare to show their faces in the world”
