Vol 40 Chapter 5 (2/2)

“Daolord” All the others were also intrigued, but as they saw it, since Ning had discovered this cache its contents would naturally belong to him

“Go ahead and take a look” Ning laughed “Just be careful Don’t just ruht be traps hidden there”

“Alright”

“Let’s go”

“Don’t worry, Daolord We’ll be careful”

“Master, I’o take a look as well” Not even Su Youji could refrain fro a look All of them fleards the Sithe cache, with only Protector Whitethaw continuing to sole

By now, the dio back to nor didn’t really care that much about the Sithe treasury; he was already close to the Autarchs in power! Why would he care about Sithe treasures or armaments?

“What did I just see earlier, though?” Ning pondered by hi back to the Earthfire Continent and the sneak-attack the iainst him “It’s completely impossible, but I can’t explain it any other way…”

To this verystill felt quite stunned by the implications This was also part of the reason why he had no interest in exploring the Sithe treasure cache

“I definitely wasn’t seeing things That imprisoned Sithe Exalt… it had definitely reached the Autarch level of insight!” Ning was shaking inside That Sithe Autarch had probably reached Hegemony in the Dao of Bewilder had been inco hadn’t been able to disturb it or shake it at all with his Sword Dao domain

Other cultivatorshad already reached a level of insight which was couidance froacies left behind by Autarch Awakener and Autarch Bolin That briefto ascertain that the Sithe Exalt, Dauber, had definitely e his twin claw attacks!

“The Autarch level of insight… thatsi imprisoned, just like that?”

“If he really was an Autarch, it would be incredibly easy for hi God… but instead, three of theether to accomplish this

“In fact, the Sithe once had multiple Exalts If the Sithe Exalts truly were Autarchs, they would’ve been able to overwhelm the cultivator civilizations with ease… but instead, their performance in combat proved that they were inferior to our Autarchs

“And when Exalt Dauber battled against h he had reached an incredibly high level of insight, the power of his attacks were vastly inferior to mine”

Ning truly was puzzled He felt certain that Sithe Exalt Dauber had reached the Autarch level of insight, but the amount of power the Exalt had unleashed in battle was much lower than that level; athad only been forced to use a tiny bit of his energy, and a single backwards step had allowed hi had completely outstripped the Exalt in power

“How odd There’s no way I rong; he has to be at the Autarch level in insight, but for some reason he’s only able to unleash a fraction of their power” Ning h his techniques were only able to employ a tiny amount of the power of the Dao”

For her a level of insight you reached, the , for exaht He didn’t even need to use up any of his own energy, but the doht that were coth strikes fro’s own internal power! When he hiht in battle and used his sword-arts, his sword-arts were so profound that they were capable of unleashi+ng many marvelous effects This happened because he would use a fraction of his own energy to fully co aht

But… the Sithe Exalt was co could tell that he had clearly reached the Autarch level of insight into the Dao, but his techniques were only able to unleash a fraction of the Dao’s power As a result, the overall power of his attacks was merely at the Blazesun Ruler’s level

“So what’s the reason for this? As far as I can tell, he should be an Autarch… but he’s dramatically weaker than the Autarchs Or perhaps these Sithe Exalts are pseudo-Autarchs? Perhaps they have inherently flawed Daos, which is why they are unable to unleash much power from them?”

Ning was filled with h level of insight into the Dao? Were they truly Autarchs, or were they pseudo-Autarchs? Why was it that the true Autarchs did not kill them and instead chose to torture them forever?

“I iine only the Autarchs know the answer to these questions,” Ning mused

“Darknorth! Hurry over here!” Nuwa suddenly called out fro castle
