Book 42, The Five Truncheon Chapters, Chapter 17 - The Epiphany Within the spacetime Maze

Ji Ning did in fact feel anxious He could sense that although he had indeed chosen the quickest path, the journey before hi one and he would need to traverse over a thousand different spacetime continuums

He had to strike at least four or five times within each spacetiht strikes! He had only been fighting for a short while but had already struck over fifty ti had expected that this would be dangerous, there was nothing he could do upon being trapped within the spacetime maze

”I didn't have to use full power on each strike, but I really don't havefaster and faster now I can't predict when the final collapse will co orried More andthe day when it all ca at an alar rate!

Ning's lifespan was rapidly decreasing, but he didn't slon in the slightest He wouldn't give up until the last moment came

Drip Drip Drip Ning ithin a world of rain His sword-light cut a hole into the world, allowing him to flee this spacetime continuum

He had always been charging forwards fearlessly, but suddenly he came to a halt and turned backwards to look into the rain

For soe reason… perhaps because he kneas about to die… when Ning saw the rain, he couldn't help but think back to his father and ht hi had then understood the True Meaning of the Raindrop and embarked upon the path of the Dao…

Whoosh The giant gaping hole behind hie together and seal the breach The hole began to shrink in size, and he was able to see less and less of the rain behind him

Suddenly, Ning's entire body froze When he sa spacetime reached out to 'heal' that wound, he suddenly had the feeling that spacetih it was a living being that was struggling to grow, develop, and heal

”spaceti off in his hts

Exalt Bowenya frowned frouard Tower as he stared at the slobes before him ”Why did Daolord Darknorth suddenly come to a halt in the dier if he doesn't go into the next spacetime continuum?”

”Fuze, attack Daolord Darknorth,” Exalt Bowenya instructed

”Understood” Upon hearing the order, a Sithe E in ithin the dimensional seams of the spacetime maze immediately prepared to launch an attack with the treasures within the Daoguard tower that had been assigned to him

Ning was in the middle of a prajna-state of epiphany When you eak, yousuch a state In fact, youany danger you were in

Ning, however, had reached an Autarch's level of insight Even though he was in a prajna-state, he was able to res He first accelerated time by 100x around him, then carefully continued his meditations

Not just him; even the black-robed Primaltwin in the outside world had also entered a prajna-state

Swish!+ A streak of black wind howled straight towards Ning Thewas able to divert a bit of his attention to dealing with it, using the Water Sword Dao to form a curtain of water which protected and surrounded him

”He's still not leaving?” Exalt Bowenya was able to watch everything fro remained within the dimensional seams, he immediately ordered: ”Continue Do not stop! Since he has chosen to remain within the seams, bombard him with attacks until he dies”

The black wind attacked again and again, but Ning continued to stand there withoutIf he entered a new spacetime continuum, he would have to deal with incessant attacks which would come from every direction This black wind, however, was only able to attack roughly once every five seconds Each ti used his sword-arts, he would be able to defend for roughly twenty seconds! During this period of ti kept hi to maintain his prajna-state

Tihteenth stance from his sword-arts, his eyes suddenly lit up

”spacetime is alive and sentient in its oay So this is the spaceti's heart was filled with joy

If he had been forced to just sit in the outside world and quietly ponder the mysteries of spacetime, it truly would have taken him over ten thousand chaos cycles to understand all of this! But he was in a life-and-death state in a region where spacetiree Thanks to his hts it had brought, Ning had also come to understand some of the mysteries behind this spacetime maze, which had been developed by the Sithe Lord of Chaos and was incredibly profound and abstruse
