“Eh? You’vealready? It’s only been five hundred ure ht next to him

“Yes” Ninedust smiled “Not too shabby, but I wasn’t as fast as Darknorth” He was an Ancient cultivator; when he was a Daolord of the First Step, his divine body and soul were already comparable to those of most Daolords of the Third Step Now that he had reached the fourth step, his body and soul were unied to memorize it all in just five hundred million years

“Ah, right Master once instructed that every single cultivator as able to iven a treasure based on their performance; the better they perform, the better a treasure they receive Darknorth, for exanificantly! Once he coive hihts Show me how much you’ve improved”

Going fro a Daolord of the Fourth Step was incredibly difficult to begin with Ninedust and Badlands had both spentjust that, with Ninedust only succeeding thanks to the legacy he had gained froemon of the Ancient cultivators As for Badlands, he still had yet to reach the fourth step As for Ning? His path was that of the Oa Sword Dao; it wa far more difficult than Ninedust’s
