Book 30, Ancient Cultivator, Chapter 27 – The Core
”Which one do you want?” Ji Ning asked
”The water-attribute Dragonfish Ki” The Ninedust Sectlord looked at Ning Although the torking together, they were equal partners; the Ninedust Sectlord didn’t have the right to unilaterally choose which treasures he wanted If Ning also deeply desired the water-attribute Dragonfish Ki, then it would end up going to whoever moved the fastest The Ninedust Sectlord truly wasn’t confident in his chances, as the power of Ning’s nine novessence arts was truly great; if Ning was to apply all nine of thereater
”To tell you the truth, I truly wish to acquire the water-attribute Dragonfish Ki as well” Ning grinned when he saw the worried look on the Ninedust Sectlord’s face ”But… even if I did get it, it wouldn’t be of much use to me for now Fine, fine; the water-attribute one is yours, but the other three are htly ahead in this”
”Thank you” The Ninedust Sectlord let out a sigh of relief So when it ca treasures, nor was the superficial ‘market price’ When you encountered a precious treasure that you were in desperate need of, you would easily be willing to pay five to ten times the ‘normal’ price! The real question was, how badly did you need it?
”Let’s move”
”Don’t let the Dragonfish Ki escape” Ning and the Ninedust Sectlord instantly began to make their moves
The five types of Dragonfish Ki were aligned to the Five Elements, and four of those five types were before theth lay in his Sword Dao, ater and thunder in second position Thus, Ning really did care onfish Ki However, even if he acquired it he would simply store it away for now, because he didn’t really need it for training in any secret arts at present Perhaps in the future he would obtain a secret art which required such a treasure, but Ning’s focus was on the deceased Sword Hegemon’s secret art That was a truly powerful secret art! It was quite unlikely that he’d be able to obtain anything more powerful than it
Soon, the two of theh onfish Ki
”Hahaha!” The Ninedust Sectlord roared with laughter ”Finally, I’ll be able to h in onfish Ki… I once offered a bounty of three hundredto accept it Daolord Curveclaw of the Aberrants actually offered it to ry I really wanted to just kill him”
”Treasures like this can only be hoped for, not counted on” Ning smiled
”Thank you, Darknorth Haha, you know? I’ to you” The Ninedust Sectlord laughed merrily ”After we leave this ancestral site, if there’s anything you needsuicidal”
Ning immediately felt much more friendly towards the Ninedust Sectlord Ninedust was the type of person ould do anything to achieve his goals, but he wasn’t truly an evil man The Ninedust Sect’s evil reputation was primarily due to the evil deeds of the previous sectlord The current Ninedust Sectlord was an Ancient cultivator and thus rather arrogant and aloof, and he illing to do anything for the sake of his cultivation, but he would rehtest of kindnesses or debts that he owed
”If there’s anything you needas it isn’t suicidal” This was quite a pro asking hie said to him, ”Come, let us venture into the Terror Starsea?” The Ninedust Sectlord would fearlessly accoers involved
……
As a result of thisand the Ninedust Sectlord became much more well-disposed towards each other This often happened when Daolords adventured together The ter friend’ often cah shared adversity in life-and-death situations
”Why haven’t we been able to find a second worldsplitter stone?”
”We’ve spent another full hour in here” Ning and the Ninedust Sectlord continued to go deeper and deeper into the planet, and the countless passageways continuously twisted doards
Although they had taken many twists and turns, both of them knew exactly where they were They knew that they were h, they didn’t encounter all that many earth devils on the way over; in fact, the closer they were to the core, the fewer in number the devils seemed to become
”A worldsplitter stone” They saw a levitating worldsplitter stone off in the distance Ning instantly revealed a look of delight They were now very deep inside the planet, but there were no earth devils nearby
Swoosh Ning i the worldsplitter stone with his hands Moments later, he stared in front of hiht behind him, and he also stared in disbelief
Right in front of thelobe that was pitch-black in color which e, however, could just barely sense that these ripples were so powerful as to cause their hearts to quaver The to the heartbeat of an enoron; the terror they felt was innate and heartfelt
”This must be the core of the planet,” the Ninedust Sectlord said softly ”This is the core of this entire world It gave birth to all the earth devils, and also to the worldsplitter stones”
”And the Dragonfish Ki” Ning pointed off into the distance The Ninedust Sectlord followed Ning’s gaze, only to see that there were four types of infant Dragonfish Ki being nurtured upon the outermost surface of the world’s core
”Let’s go,” Ning said softly
”Agreed This isn’t a place for us to do as we please” The Ninedust Sectlord didn’t have the slightest intention of trying to take away the core
