Volume 43 Chapter 8 (1/2)
Book 43, Final Fate, Chapter 8 - Terminal Seclusion
Before Ji Ning brought his ninth disciple, Qin An, back to the Three Realms, he first paid a brief visit to the Badlands Territory
”Halt,” Ning instructed The reallance at Qin An, then reached out to tap Qin An on the an to pour into Qin An'shidden deep within his soul All three surges of sword-intent were of varying levels of power
At Qin An's current level of power, if he had to learn this enormous amount of information from jade slips it would probably take over ten thousand years Using thishad accomplished it in the blink of an eye Most of the information, however, would remain sealed Qin An was currently too weak; his soul and truesoul simply couldn't absorb that much information at once
”Master” Qin An regained consciousness
”Ofwith danger,” Ning said ”I've left you three surges of sword-intent to protect you and many techniques for you to learn The rest shall be up to you This place is known as the Badlands Territories, and it is very vast, far vaster than the 'Cataclysm Trials' you were in You'll have to rely on yourself in adventuring through this place Once you reach the World level or become a Daolord, you'll probably be able to locate your fellow disciples”
”World level?” This was an incredibly distant concept to Qin An He hadn't even become a Celestial Immortal yet!
”Alright, you can leave now Your path will be your own” Ning waved his hand Whoosh!+ Qin An was teleported through spacetime into an ordinary chaosworld within the Badlands Territory
”Master… you re your disciples,” Su Youji said with a snicker
”The more setbacks they encounter, the farther they'll make it on their respective paths,” Azurefiend said
When Ning returned to the Three Realan to meet with some of his old friends for as perhaps the final time
Northmont Baiwei, Mu Northson, his master Immortal Diancai…
It must be remembered that even Empyrean Gods and Celestial I ti, he had acquired a prisonworld filled with Empyrean Gods and Celestial Immortals who had been alive for multiple chaos cycles
However, Eenerally had very weak Dao-hearts Very feould be able to live to theirwild, resulting in death Most had to rely on using spirit-pills to nourish their bodies; only then would they be able to live long enough to hit the 108,000 cycle li True Immortal, but he was still alive
Another person Ning went to visit was Ninelotus
Ninelotus was the first wo's status was so incredibly high that after they broke up, no one else ever dared to pursue Ninelotus! Ninelotus herself set up her own school long ago, and she only accepted fele
Ninelotus had vanished forher sect, but then she had suddenly skyrocketed in power She had first reached the World level of power, then beco was in secluded in meditation This caused many people in the Three Realms to feel quite speechless… and many secretly whispered that Fairy Ninelotus had to have reached this level thanks to Daolord Darknorth's help Otherwise, how could she have been ordinary for so long, then suddenly risen to power?
Ning himself, however, knew that he hadn't helped Ninelotus at all!
Below a giant tree within a courtyard Ning and Ninelotus were seated facing each other, with Ninelotus pouring Ning some tea
”I grew this tea tree myself and personally harvested the leaves,” Ninelotus said ”Have a taste”
”Senior apprentice-sister Ninelotus” Ning smiled ”You truly amaze me”
Ning had seen s By now, he knew that there were indeed some cultivators who rose to prominence late in life! Common sense dictated that they shouldn't be able tothey had been alive for, but they somehow did They just slowly advanced at their own pace
”For a long time, you cast a deep shadow overShe could sense his truesoul cru away, and she felt sorrow for him He had been an extremely important man in her life, after all ”I eventually set up my own female-only school and strictly forbadea mere rule can prevent In the end, quite a few ofDao-co s, the shadow over et over the past”
”I si trees and weeding weeds Every so often, I'd read a few treatises on the Dao” Ninelotus se For some reason, cultivation becaan to improve faster and faster”
Ning could sense that Ninelotus' Dao-heart had reached incredible heights after she had ed to dispel the shadow that had bedeviled her heart for so many years In the end, the Dao-heart hat mattered the most to cultivators!
Long ago, Ning had established a Dao-repository filled with countless techniques which all talented cultivators of the Three Realiven access to Many of those techniques had been written down by Hegemons and included a detailed explanation from start to finish This had allowed the Three Realms to produce more and more major powers
”Junior apprentice-brother Ji Ning, the brightest star of the Black-White College… I felt certain that you would continue to dazzle long after I died,” Ninelotus said ”I never thought that I'd still be alive while you…”
”That's why I had to co smiled
”Is there hope?” Ninelotus suddenly asked
Although the love between the Many failed Daolords refused to give up hope Daolord AllGod, for example, had tried all sorts of methods to extend his life! The law of the universe was that the heavens always gave a chance, no matter how slim… and it was true! There was, in fact, a way for those who failed the Daoe to survive Alas, to this very day not even the Autarchs had been able to truly grasp it
