Vol 29 Chapter 29 (2/2)

Ning’s gaze slowly grew more and more distant

“Master,” Su Youji said softly, “Come here and take Youji into your arms”

“Yeah…” Ning mumbled softly, and Su Youji revealed a look of excitement

“Yeah, no thanks” Ning stared at her “Is this what you were trying to acco your master!?”

Ning’s soul was comparable to that of a Daolord of the Fourth Step, and his heartforcethrough to the sixth stage of heartforce; just a few slight i a true Heartforce Cultivator How could a newly ascended Daolord of the Second Step like Su Youji possibly shake his will? However, Ning could sense how truly formidable these secret arts of Feixian the Exalted were Most likely, once Su Youji became a Daolord of the Third Step she would be able to have a slight affect on Ning for a very brief period of time

If she reached the fourth step… Su Youji as a Daolord of the Fourth Step would be truly frightening! And yet, this path held both strengths and weaknesses, with the weaknesses being quite obvious; if she encountered a Heartforce Cultivator, she would be in serious trouble

“I could sense that I wasn’t able to beguile you, so I just wanted to joke around with you a bit, Master,” Su Youji explained hurriedly She then mumbled to herself, “Can’t I even make a joke?”

“Alright, alright Ti said with a laugh “Joking around now is fine, but don’t cause any trouble once we enter the Sacred City That is one of the eight Sacred Cities of the Dao Alliance, after all”

“Understood”

“Don’t worry, Master”

Ning once an to advance with Pillsaint and Su Youji in tow The travelled for another two hundred-plus years, then finally reached the fabled city of Skywood, one of the eight Sacred Cities

“So that’s Skywood” Ning stared off into the distance Although Skyas described as a ‘city’, it didn’t have any walls It was actually a collection of staggeringly large edifices which hovered together above the clouds! It was filled with towering palaces, ancient estates, and strange buildings Every single building gloith the light of restrictive spells, causing it to radiate with a plethora of colors

Most dazzling of all were the coates, which were threethrough the clouds and into the gates, with so into the various palaces and estates

“One of the eight Sacred Cities” Pillsaint was rather excited “It reigns over or directly influences tens of thousands of nearby territories I hear that an enormous number of Daolords are here”

“Noriven point in ti said

In terms of raw nuhtshore Kingdom, the Aeonian race, the Aberrant special lifeforms… no one could coht Sacred Cities of the Dao Alliance held anizations held in their main headquarters

The Brightshore Kingdo the black-ar, and so only a few hundred powerful Daolords were actually within the borders of the Brightshore Kingdom at any point in time Skywood City, however, heldin seclusion… and this represented just a tiny fraction of Skywood’s total area of influence

If all of the Daolords of the tens of thousands of nearby territories were gathered together, there would probably be farthe outside world or in their own sects, after all Only a small amount ithin Skywood City

“Skywood City is controlled by one of the nine great sects of the Dao Alliance, the Skywood Sect,” Ning said “This place is operated in accordance with the laws of the Skywood Sect”

“The eight Sacred Cities are all quite interesting” Pillsaint laughed “Eight Sacred Cities which are under the control of nine different organizations The Dao Alliance really is rather chaotic”

“Master, I hear that the governor of Skywood City is also the sect leader of the Skywood Sect, the legendary Eht?” Su Youji asked curiously Eternal Emperor Skyas extrehtshore Kingdom

Ning chuckled and nodded On the surface, the Dao Alliance had a total of eight ht Sacred Cities However…

Even the likes of the Brightshore Kingdom and the Aeonians had anizations Could the exalted Dao Alliance truly have just eight Eternal E? However, the eight governors of the Sacred Cities had lived for countless chaos cycles and had reigned over their respective Sacred Cities Without question, they were incredibly strong even ast Eternal Emperors

Not even the most powerful of Eternal Eovernors! Not only were the governors thereat authority within the Dao Alliance, they were also secretly supported by many reclusive old experts This hy they were referred to as being the nine ned over the Dao Alliance
