Book 31, Starflow River, Chapter 14 – Daolord Badlands

Ji Ning and Ninedust could both understand how Daolord Laya felt right now Cultivation was like cli a mountain; you slowly started at the very botto many difficulties before you finally reached the top The final step you took next would determine if you rose into the heavens or fell into an endless abyss Daolord Laya had failed his Daoe; clearly, he had fallen into the endless abyss His soul and truesoul had already begun to crumble, and he could already see his future death His path of cultivation was about to coh he had reat pain

“I’ve cultivated for many years, but it all ends today” Daolord Laya shook his head, then let out a hoarse chuckle “When I was young, I fought hard to clis were for ht was consu care of my race…

“It’s been too long, and I’ life in the Terror Starsea,” Daolord Laya said “I’ve never even visited the Endless Territories”

Daolord Laya rose to his feet, then waved his hand and put away the triangle altar

“Brother Darknorth Brother Ninedust” Daolord Laya looked at the two of the to leave now I plan to pay a visit to the Endless Territories and learn about it! In fact, I o off into the Great Dark Before I die, I want to see as much as of the universe as I can”

Ning and the Ninedust Sectlordno longer knehat to say

“No need to send me off” Daolord Laya strode quickly towards the exit

The tatched as Daolord Laya left, both filled with regret Daolord Laya no longer cared one whit about Thundersouth Palace, electing to leave i and the Ninedust Sectlord, however, still did care, because the various paintings hanging on the walls of the palace represented various techniques that the lord of the palace had left behind for others

“Thankfully, he didn’t go crazy” The Ninedust Sectlord shook his head “I’ve seen Verge-level Daolords go absolutely insane after they failed their Daoe”

“He trained since he was young and has cultivated his entire life…” Ning continued to stare in the direction Daolord Laya had left “He trained tens of thousands of chaos cycles… but all of a sudden he failed his Daoht his cultivation path to an abrupt halt This would be extre for any cultivator It makes sense for some to be mentally affected by it”

“Hmph There are some evil Daolords who normally keep their worst impulses in check and are afraid to act too rashly for fear of being killed by other uaranteed to perish, they become absolutely fearless and even more detestful than before” The Ninedust Sectlord shook his head “But of course, they’ll die in their madness”

“I wonder e’ll end up like e fail our Daoe?” The Ninedust Sectlord suddenly said

“When we fail our Daoht now, there was no way for him to be sure as to hoould react

“Maybe we’ll both succeed and gain eternity for ourselves” Ning smiled

“Haha Right We’ll gain eternity for sure” The Ninedust Sectlord nodded “I’ll be a Hegemon when that happens We Ancient cultivators will have two Hegemons! Haha”

But both of them understood that the path to eternity was an incredibly difficult one Normally, less than one in a hundred thousand Daolords would be able to gain eternity, and virtually all of them were ordinary Daolords

Ning and Ninedust continued to calmly train within the Thundersouth Palace of the Starflow River, and both i thirty thousand years at the Thundersouth Palace, the Ninedust Sectlord h!

Rumble… an aura of awesome poept out from the Ninedust Sectlord He opened his eyes, his face wreathed with sh! A Daolord of the Fourth Step… I’ve finally become a Daolord of the Fourth Step! This has been incredibly difficult Going from the third step to fourth step was a thousand ti from the first step to the third step Haha… I’ve finally broken through!”

“Congratulations, brother Ninedust,” the nearby Ning said

“Yes, this is indeed worth celebrating I was trapped at the third step for far, far too long” The Ninedust Sectlord s “It was all thanks to this Stone Censer of Reunion If it wasn’t for it, I would’ve wasted another chaos cycle or two before hts in the trial the Ancient ancestor left behind, allowing me to vault to a new level on this trip”

“With this step you now stand at the very peak of power a said

Ninedust nodded, looking rather pleased He was soether two Supreme Daos Now that he had reached the fourth step, he ist the ranks of the absolute most powerful Daolords in the world He was on the saht be differences in power due to different secret arts and different treasures, but those differences wouldn’t be too great; they were all on the same overall level of power

The o from the third step to the fourth step Daolord Badlands, for example, had also been trapped at the third step for a very, very long period of time
