Vol 36 Chapter 6 (1/2)

Book 36, Daolord of the Fourth Step, Chapter 6 – Refusal

Ji Ning walked into the Palace of the Sword All of the cultivators he passed would all address him respectfully as ‘Palace Lord’ or as ‘senior apprentice-brother’ Clearly, Ning’s status was suprest those inside the Palace of the Sword

If Ning revealed his true power? The only person whose status was higher than hihtshore himself

“Arh the air to descend up on the building located deep within a gorge This was Are

“Palace Lord” The two golee, ‘Swordfive’ and ‘Swordsix’, both called out respectfully

“Long ti smiled

“A mere billion years or so has passed since you first entered our palace, Palace Lord And yet, you have now become the preeminent power of the Sword Palace,” Swordfive said

Ning couldn’t help but think back to those early years When he had first entered the Palace of the Sword, he had merely been a World-level cultivator, awed and dazed by what he was seeing He had been filled with excitement and desire towards cultivation! In the blink of an eye, a billion years had gone by He now stood ast those ere at the very apex of poithin the Endless Territories The only ones ere truly stronger than hiht he would rise to such heights?

Ning casually walked into the Ar at the , they were of very little interesting

“The Halfsword” Ning’s gaze fell upon the broken sword lying on the table An awesome sword-intent emanated fro it impossible for any cultivator who entered to miss it

“A Universe treasure” Ning smiled as he walked over When he was thirtyin his tracks Ning paused y and continued to walk over He walked next to the table, then looked down upon the broken sword resting upon it

“I didn’t want to let you get close to ure suddenly appeared directly above the broken sword It was a pink-robed, icy-faced woman

“Treasure-spirit,” Ning said, “Aren’t you bored by life in Arh the outside world What do you say?”

“So you are now the new Palace Lord of the Palace of the Sword” The icy-faced woman said coldly, “I remember you from back when you were still just a kid, unable to withstand even my aura You’ve become fairly powerful, but you are still just a Daolord Successive generations of Palace Lords have sought me out, but I was not interested in any of them You can leave noill not follow any Daolord”

Ning was speechless He had codom on serious business; he had only come to visit the Halfsword to try his luck If he really could acquire a Universe treasure, his poould be increased by quite a significant amount

“Aren’t you setting your require smirked

“I’m not interested in ordinary Eternal Emperors either, only in sword cultivators who have at least reached the Archon level A Hegemon would be even better,” the icy-faced woman said coldly

“Haha, the entire Fla Hege teased, “And the number of Archons ield swords can also be counted on one hand It seems it’ll be quite hard for you to find a new master”

“Hmph You are far too weak Even if you did have a Universe treasure, you’d just end up being easily beaten and losing it to a powerful Eternal E a Universe treasure to a Daolord is a waste I heard that soe did end up with a Universe treasure I think that Universe treasure must’ve been crazy for him to choose to follow a Daolord”

Two strea’s eyes Booht carried an aura of terrifying pohich spread out in the area around the Halfsword, but it didn’t contain any offensive power to it All of the treasures within Arhtshore himself had set down The other major poho had come afterwards had set down barriers as well It was impossible to take away any of the treasures here by force

“Your Dao of the Sword…?” The icy-faced woman was stunned “Y-y-you… how could you have…”

She was a Universe-level sword! Her senses were keenly attuned to the auras of sword cultivators, and she could instantly tell how exquisite Ning’s Dao of the Sas It had completely surpassed the Daolord level; it was at a level which only some Archons could match

“Follow me and adventure byI aon Real looked at her “Even if I truly do end up dying one day, you’ll just regain your freedo withwas trying to ‘seduce’ her

The icy-faced woo out adventuring as well… but her innate pride forced her to let out a cold snort “Your Sword Dao is excellent, but you are still just a Daolord If you can succeed in your Daoree to follow you”

Ning couldn’t help but feel speechless Succeed in his Daoe? That was incredibly difficult If he really was able to succeed in the Daoa Sword Dao eternal… he couldn’t even iine what level he would be at by then By then, even Universe treasures would probably be of limited use to him
