The black-robed Ji Ning was seated in the lotus position atop the stone dais He had already been in this position forat all
“Success” The black-robed Ning suddenly opened his eyes and s a series of jade slips to appear next to hile one of the jade slips with all sorts of techniques which he had devised over the course of one past in the real world, he had spent that entire period of time under 100x temporal acceleration In other words, for hione by
Ning had come up with a total of ten Archon-class techniques These techniques were based on his Oa Sword Dao, his heartforce illusions, the Dao of Fire, the Dao of Water, the Dao of Thunder, the Dao of space, the Dao of Formations, the Dao of Metal, the Dao of Wood, and the Dao of Earth There were ten Daos in total
After slaughtering Hege had chosen to work in simpler Daos such as that of Metal, Wood, and Earth, so that he would more quickly acquire the treasure reward He personally wanted to study the Dao of Ti fro on the Dao of space, he felt likely that he would need to spend even more time on Time
In the end, he was a sword cultivator As a result, he was quite quick with the Dao of Metal, h in just twenty or so chaos cycles He wasn’t very talented in the Dao of Wood, and so he spent more than fifty chaos cycles on it As for the final member of the Five Elements, ‘Earth’? Thanks to the fact that he had already ed to complete his mastery of it in just ten or so chaos cycles
In just ninety ‘real’ chaos cycles (900 chaos cycles for hied to create three Archon-class techniques
“Senior,” the black-robed Ning called out The distant white-haired elder, also seated in the lotus position, slowly opened his eyes
“Senior, you already know about ht techniques” Ning pointed at the eight slips levitating in the air behind hiht jade slips all floated over to the white-haired man
“That fast?” The white-haired old ht slips After analyzing them, he nodded: “Not bad You’ve mastered all five of the Five Eleress in even the Dao of Forh level of co froa Sword Dao and then reach the Fourth Step as a Daolord, I felt certain that your comprehension skills were exceptional However, I still had to obey my master’s orders”
“Of course” Ning nodded In truth, one’s coe For example, even the most ‘talented’ of newborns wouldn’t be able to coh in life wouldyou stronger, harder, and ’s heart had been completely focused on the Dao of the Sword, and he had experienced hts Now that he had reached the fourteenth stance of the [Heartsword], his heart and his ere both incredibly pure, allowing him to train even more quickly than before
“You’ve created ten techniques, which ive that treasure which Master left behind” The white-haired old man waved his hand Whoosh The hall suddenly see a tiny fist-sized space to appear at the very center of the roouelywithin it
The first object was a cohly the size of an egg, and it emanated incorporeal ripples that could be seen with the naked eye Ning could sense the waves of poeeping across hi him to feel more relaxed and comfortable than he ever had before He felt almost like a child in histhis felt
The second object was also round, but it was covered with countless lines and runes
“Co both objects to float over towards hi “This first treasure was named by my master and the Autarchs as the ‘Stonefire Pearl’ All of the treasure manifested by the Chaosverse, and that it is the number one most helpful cultivation treasure Master focused all of his efforts on co the Nine Chaos Seals, and so he found these types of treasures to be invaluable As a result, he paid a fairly significant price to convince the other Autarchs to let him have it”
