Vol 31 Chapter 9 (2/2)

“A terrifying illusory real stared blankly at Daolord Laya “And your chances of surviving it are roughly 70?”

“…What’s with the strange looks on your faces?” Daolord Laya ih, but there’s still a chance that I ive up a chance like this to te as I can make it across safely, I’ll come back and help you across as well Otherwise, the two of you would fall into the lake”

Ning and Ninedust blinked again

“You hear that, Darknorth? The second trial consists of illusions” Ninedust laughed

“And to think that I was feeling really nervous just now Jeeze” Ning shook his head and chuckled as well

“What’s with the two of you?” Daolord Laya was puzzled

The Ninedust Sectlord began to roar with laughter “Brother Lay, let ive you a formal introduction of our friend Daolord Darknorth”

“A formal introduction? An introduction of what?” Daolord Laya still didn’t understand

“Brother Darknorth is exceedingly skilled in sword-arts, but you know that already He also trains as a Heartforce Cultivator and is an extrely, “Just now, you were talking about helping a powerful Heartforce Cultivator survive deadly illusions… hah! I laughed so hard my teeth nearly fell out”

Daolord Laya stared blankly “A Heartforce Cultivator?” Heartforce Cultivators were pitifully raer; the Brightshore Kingdoreat powers of the Endless Territories, but it still had less than ten of theemon had scoured the Endless Territories for talented World-level experts! The Starflow race naturally had even fewer Heartforce Cultivators They had e-level Daolords in this era, but not a single Heartforce Cultivator!

“Brother Laya…” Ning chuckled as well With at hought, he suht it down upon the area around them

“A heartworld projection? Darknorth, you…” Moh as well “Haha, I really made a fool ofto brother Darknorth Even if the master of the Thundersouth Palace personally cast his illusions over hihtest”

Ning laughed This really was the case Only someone incredibly skilled in illusions would have a chance at affecting him; for example, an Eternal Emperor as also a Heartforce Cultivator would be able to trap Ning within illusions As for Hegemons who occasionally trained in illusions? Those illusions wouldn’t be able to affect powerful Daolords ere Heartforce Cultivators

But of course, Hegehtshore Hegemon, for exa with ease But if he was to use illusions instead… Heartforce Cultivators really would have very little to fear Ning’s best guess was that the master of Thundersouth Palace had been pri

“Darknorth, I do have one request,” Daolord Laya said

“If there’s anything you need, just letsaid

“I want to borrow this opportunity to temper my Dao-heart Supposedly, the illusions are very effective for that,” Daolord Laya said “If I’er, please lend me a hand and ensure that I don’t fall into the lake”

“Easily done” Ning nodded

Daolord Laya nodded back at hie He ca there for a full hour withoutat all

Ning and Ninedust both waited patiently Roughly one hour later, Daolord Laya’s gaze turned clear A serious expression on his face, he began to carefully advance However, without even realizing it he began to walk towards the edges of the wooden bridge He clearly alking askew, but he himself didn’t realize it He walked closer and closer towards the lake and its white frozen mist, which seemed ready to reach out and s him alive

“Careful” Ning reached out with his arh the illusions, they iin to attempt to ensorcere his ainst the well’s stones; they had no affect at all Ning was completely unmoved, and so he latched onto Daolord Laya by the back, then pulled hiht out

Daolord Laya was stunned as he was pulled out of the wood bridge “What’s going on?” He was stunned and couldn’t believe it He turned to look at Ning “My mind was clear I had completely shaken off the effects of the illusions”

“Shaken off? If it wasn’t for Darknorth, you would’ve walked straight into the lake by now,” the Ninedust Sectlord snickered
