《Global Magic Era: Max Talent from the Start》 Chapter 1 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Wu Ning looked at the Milky Way in front of him with a bitter smile on his face. He used to be a wealthy businessman on Planet Blue, building a huge business empire with his entrepreneurial mind. Three days ago, he was struck by a bolt of lightning and transmigrated to this world where sorcery was practiced by the masses. In this world, the Laws of Heaven and Earth were everything and they contained a unique energy known as Patterns. The stronger the practitioner¡¯s Soul, the more Patterns they could see and the clearer they were. The Soul was to comprehend the Laws. Cultivating Spirits meant that one could use the Spirits to carve out Law Patterns to kill their enemies. The higher one¡¯s cultivation was, the more Law Patterns would be carved out and the more powerful they would be. The realms of the Laws were the Embryo ¡ª Meaning ¡ª Comprehension ¡ª Laws. As they achieved Foundation, the Formation Mark would be activated. Upon activation, all should arrive at the Heavenly River to enter Otherworld, so they could cultivate the Laws. One of the basic techniques, known as the ¡°Nine-Level Soul Palace¡±, could be used to enhance one¡¯s power. All would achieve it upon activation of the Formation Mark. A practitioner would be able to cultivate their Soul Palace from their Conscience. The higher the Soul Palace, the stronger the Soul. The Soul Palace could also resist attacks by other Souls. As long as Soul Palace remained, even if the body was reduced to ashes, a practitioner could rebuild one¡¯s body. Moreover, the stronger one¡¯s Soul, the easier it was for one to practice one¡¯s technique. In this world, the resources were controlled by the strong. Ordinary people like Wu Ning didn¡¯t even have the resources to cultivate the Nine-Level Soul Palace. Only by relying on the first arrival to the world through the Teleport Array could one search for resources to cultivate in the Otherworld. Furthermore, the Laws of Heaven and Earth were extremely profound and difficult to comprehend. Hence, everyone who descended into the Otherworld could remain for one hundred years and slowly comprehend the Laws of Heaven and Earth. However, if they were killed during the process, their stay would end and they were forced to return through the Teleport Array. However, whether the return was forced or voluntary, only a single day passed in the real world. Everyone would wake up at the same time. It was equivalent to spending one hundred years of cultivation time in the Otherworld. Furthermore, the stronger one was, the longer one would be able to stay in the Otherworld. Hence, the arrival to the Otherworld was highly sought after. However, the rules of entering the Otherworld were set by the Array. Nobody else could interfere with it. Everyone would only be able to enter the Otherworld for free when the Formation Mark was activated for the first time. After that, they would have to spend a huge amount of Treasure Points to purchase an entry each time they wanted to enter the Otherworld. In addition, the insights gained from descending to an Otherworld would be evaluated by the Magic Array. The higher the evaluation, the more points the Teleport Array would reward, perhaps they could even obtain the right to descend for free. Wu Ning retracted his thoughts and looked at the golden Formation Mark on the back of his hand. [Activating Teleport Array] [Name: Wu Ning] [Status: Foundation] [Attributes: Mixed] [Laws: None] [Treasures: None] [Base Technique: Nine Level Soul Palace] [Cultivation Method: Tiger Hall Technique] [Treasure Points: 0] Wu Ning looked at the attributes column, and a bitter feeling rose in his heart. Attributes represented the Laws he could comprehend in the future. Generally, the fewer attributes he had, the better. This way, he could specialize in one law and further progress in his journey to cultivate Laws. If one had dual attributes, that person would usually give up one of the attributes and focus on the other. Cultivating multiple attributes required a huge amount of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, not forgetting that the cultivation speed would be slowed down. As for Wu Ning¡¯s mixed attributes, his cultivation speed would become slower, at a mere one-tenth speed compared to the others. Wu Ning sighed, but he quickly adjusted his mood. The first time was crucial. This concerned how far he could walk on the path of cultivation in the future. Wu Ning quietly stayed in the crowd and looked at the Milky Way not far away. Suddenly, a golden light flashed. Wu Ning looked in the direction of the Golden Light and saw a beautiful young girl slowly walking in. The crowd cried out in surprise. ¡°Oh my god, it¡¯s the Soul Nurturing Dragon Pill!¡± ¡°Soul Nurturing Dragon Pill? It¡¯s actually the Soul Nurturing Dragon Pill!¡± ¡°Although the Soul Nurturing Dragon Pill isn¡¯t really valuable, it¡¯s still worth 100,000 Treasure Points.¡± ¡°The conditions for refining the Soul Nurturing Dragon Pill are very harsh. Only Alchemists from the third level or above of the Soul Palace can refine it. Therefore, some shops do not sell them. You can only find them in the auction house.¡± Hearing the discussion, everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. 100,000 treasure points. Ordinary people like them would need at least a hundred years to accumulate 100,000 treasure points. ¡°Who is she? Did she actually spend 100,000 treasure points just to purchase the Soul Nurturing Dragon Pill? This is too extravagant!¡± ¡°This isn¡¯t considered extravagant at all. The Soul Nurturing Dragon Pill allows one to descend to the Otherworld with stats from prior lives. After descending, one can rely on the pill to cultivate three levels of the Nine Level Soul Palace. What a great advantage. Who knows how long it will take for us to cultivate the Soul Palace?¡± ¡°I remember who she is. She is the eldest daughter of the Yi family in Green City, Yi Baiqing. Her attribute is Pure Ice. Her talent is outstanding. She is the genius who is most likely to comprehend the ice attribute in the Otherworld this time!¡± ¡°It¡¯s actually the eldest daughter of the Yi family. I heard that many factions of Green City want to recruit her!¡± Within the array, many people were shocked. In this world, every sect was a huge faction. They held most of the cultivation resources in their hands. Many tried their best to enter the sect. However, the entrance requirements of the sect were also extremely strict. One had to comprehend the laws to participate in the entrance exam. It was already very impressive for Wu Ning¡¯s batch of rookies to be able to enter the sect. Before Yi Baiqing arrived, she had already been booked by the major sects. Suddenly, a purple light flashed, and a handsome youth walked in. As soon as the youth walked in, someone recognized him. ¡°It¡¯s Kuang Chi, the eldest young master of the Kuang family of Green City!¡± ¡°He¡¯s the same as Yi Baiqing, a genius with a single pure attribute!¡± ¡°That ray of purple light on his body, is it a Purple Gold Birth Card?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, it¡¯s worth 200,000 treasure points.¡± The card allowed one to be born into an illustrious family after descending into the Otherworld, and it would give one a huge advantage at birth. Kuang Chi walked straight to Yi Baiqing¡¯s side as soon as he entered. ¡°This is the only time we¡¯ll be descending for free. How about we work together? We¡¯ll sweep away all the resources in the Otherworld. When the time comes, we¡¯ll split them in half and wipe these people out. By then, we might even have a few less formidable enemies on the path of cultivation.¡± Yi Baiqing glanced at Kuang Chi and said indifferently, ¡°I¡¯m not interested. Whatever resources we get, we¡¯ll use our own methods.¡± The two of them completely ignored the others, as if in their eyes, Wu Ning and the others were nothing but pawns. At this moment, the Teleport Array burst out with white light. The Teleport Array was about to open. The people¡¯s faces were filled with all sorts of emotions¡ªpanic, calmness, and excitement. Just as everyone was about to step into the Teleport Array, a dragon¡¯s roar suddenly sounded. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound. They thought that the white-clothed youth was slowly walking over with a red tassel spear on his back, and the Dragon¡¯s Roar came from his body. ¡°Oh my god, it¡¯s the Divine Soul Dragon Roar Pill! It¡¯s worth one million treasure points!¡± ¡°I never thought that I would be able to see the Divine Soul Dragon Roar Pill in my lifetime. This Divine Soul Dragon Roar Pill allows a person to directly cultivate to the ninth level of the Soul Palace.¡± ¡°Then this white-robed youth can cultivate out of the Soul Palace as soon as he¡¯s born? We might not be able to cultivate to the first level of the Soul Palace even after going through all sorts of hardships. In the end, he can cultivate out of the soul palace as soon as he¡¯s born. We can¡¯t even make comparisons!¡± ¡°That¡¯s not all. Look at that spear of his. Only a Lawful Treasure can be brought into the Teleport Array, and it can also descend with it. And with that treasure, one¡¯s comprehension of the embryonic form of the law will be ten times faster.¡± Kuang Chi and Yi Baiqing looked at each other and understood the meaning in each other¡¯s eyes. Wu Ning smiled bitterly in his heart. He had failed this time. He did not expect to encounter such a freak on his first time descending into the alternate world. At this time, the white light of the Teleport Array enveloped everyone and they lost consciousness.. Chapter 2 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Wu Ning regained his consciousness and realized that he had become an infant. He looked up and saw that he was in a cave. He was being held in a woman¡¯s arms. This woman looked to be his mother in this life. Wu Ning wondered what kind of Otherworld this was and what Laws he could comprehend. ¡°Ding! The foreign world¡¯s auxiliary cultivation system has been activated. Congratulations, Master, for obtaining the novice gift bag. Do you wish to activate it?¡± Hearing the mechanical voice in his mind, Wu Ning¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°A system?¡± He did not expect that the system would only be activated after he descended into the Otherworld. ¡°Open the novice gift bag!¡± Wu Ning shouted excitedly in his heart. ¡°Ding! Congratulations on obtaining 10,000 Comprehension Points and a pair of Heavenly Eyes (Elementary). 10,000 points can be exchanged for two Soul Nurturing Dragon Pills. Do you wish to proceed with the exchange?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± He muttered in his heart. Wu Ning really wanted to take the Soul Nurturing Pill right now to strengthen his soul so that he could cultivate the Nine-Level Soul Palace. However, he was still in the arms of his mother in this life. If she found out that he suddenly had an extra pill in his hands, he did not know what she would think. Therefore, Wu Ning could only hold it in temporarily and wait for his mother to go out before consuming the pill. At this moment, a person walked into the cave. That person was tall and big, blocking out the only light source in the cave. However, that person did not stop. He walked quickly to Wu Ning and his mother and threw the thing in his hand to the side. The light in the cave quickly returned. Only then did Wu Ning see clearly. That person was tall and big. His hair was disheveled. He did not have his hair tied up. There was only a piece of animal skin wrapped around his waist. Wu Ning carefully looked around the cave. In a corner of the cave, there was some straw and a few pieces of animal skin on it. That was probably their bed. Beside them was something that the man had just thrown down. Wu Ning looked over and saw a few carcasses of rabbits and wild chickens lying on the ground, oozing blood. Wu Ning rolled his eyes in his heart. It seemed that he had transmigrated to an uncivilized world. However, since he was already here, she could not go back now. After all, this was the only chance for him to come to the Otherworld for free. The man looked at the woman and the child in the woman¡¯s arms, then squatted down and started to clean the meat he had just brought. Wu Ning reckoned that this man was his father in this life. The man¡¯s actions were very fast. In no time at all, he finished dealing with the rabbits and pheasants, then he picked one up and handed it to the woman. The woman placed Wu Ning on the bed that was made of straw and animal skin. Then, she took the rabbit that the man handed to her and began to chew on it. She chewed until her mouth was full of flesh and blood, which disgusted Wu Ning very much. The man also picked up a rabbit and began to eat it. The cave was filled with the sound of the two of them tearing at the flesh and chewing on it. There was also the sound of drinking water. It was the two of them sucking blood. Wu Ning turned around. Even just by listening to the sounds, he felt a chill. Wu Ning felt sad for himself. He did not expect that he had actually descended into a primitive foreign world. The people here were not civilized yet. They did not even know how to start a fire and eat cooked food. He sighed in his heart and accepted the reality. Even if there was nothing in this Otherworld, he had to find resources to cultivate. After the two of them finished eating, the man cleaned up the cave along with the leftovers. Wu Ning thought to himself, ¡®He likes to be clean.¡¯ Then, the two of them embraced Wu Ning and started to sleep. In the blink of an eye, Wu Ning had already descended to the Otherworld for five years. Five years ago, Wu Ning had taken the Soul Nurturing Pill and had already cultivated a level of Soul Palace. Wu Ning looked at his Formation Mark. [Activating Formation Mark] [Name: Wu Ning] [Status: Foundation] [Attributes: Mixed] [Laws: None] [Treasure: None] [Base Technique: Soul Palace Level One, Rank Two] [Cultivation Method: Tiger Hall Technique] [Treasure point: 0] Wu Ning withdrew from the Formation Mark and looked up into the sky. It was morning. Wu Ning¡¯s father had gone out to hunt, and his mother had gone to collect wild fruits. Over the years, Wu Ning refused to eat raw meat and survived only on fruits and nuts. He wanted to light a fire by burning wood. It was so he didn¡¯t have to eat fruits and nuts for the rest of his life. Wu Ning went to look for some dry branches and some inflammable dry leaves. Then, he began turning wood to make fire. His hands turned the wooden stick with great force, making the wooden stick rub against the wooden board. Wu Ning was only five years old now, so he didn¡¯t have much strength. His two tiny hands barely held the wooden stick firm, and soon, his head was covered in sweat. After about two hours, Wu Ning caught a whiff of charred wood. It was the prelude to the ignition of the fire. After smelling it, Wu Ning began turning even harder. He hoped to start a fire as soon as possible so that he could eat hot food. Although Wu Ning didn¡¯t have a strong appetite, he couldn¡¯t stand eating wild fruits every day. Finally, with Wu Ning¡¯s efforts, the kindling was lit. Wu Ning quickly put the kindling into the dry flammable material that he had prepared beforehand, and then carefully blew into it. Soon, thick smoke rose. Wu Ning¡¯s eyes were teary from the smoke, he couldn¡¯t even open them. Yet, the excitement kept him blowing. Now was the most critical moment, and any relaxation would be a waste of effort. Finally, a small flame burst out from the kindling. Wu Ning was so excited that he almost extinguished the small flame. Then, he moved the flame into the firewood that he had prepared beforehand. Just like that, the flame lit up the firewood bit by bit, and the flame slowly grew into a bonfire. Wu Ning sat quietly by the bonfire, feeling the heat from the fire. It had been five years, and this was the first time he had felt the heat of the fire. Wu Ning sat at the side, admiring the fire. He had unknowingly entered the Selfless State. If anybody else witnessed this, they would be shocked. Everyone wanted to achieve the state but it was a state of cultivation that could be encountered but not sought. Yet, Wu Ning could easily enter it. Even until then, Wu Ning assumed just about anybody could achieve the Selfless State. Wu Ning stared at the fire for the entire day before he gradually saw Patterns forming in the fire. However, when Wu Ning took a closer look, the patterns disappeared. He thought it was just an illusion, but on second thought, realized it couldn¡¯t be so. He did see some strange patterns just now. Wu Ning placed his hand on his forehead. When he took it down again, an eye appeared on Wu Ning¡¯s forehead. This was the Heavenly Eye given by the system when he arrived at the Otherworld five years ago. Wu Ning did not know what the Heavenly Eye was for. He just wanted to use the Heavenly Eye to see if he could see anything. A white light flashed across the Heavenly Eye, and then they opened. Wu Ning used the Heavenly Eye to look at the bonfire. This time, he clearly saw those strange patterns. It was not an illusion. Wu Ning¡¯s three eyes reflected on the fire, and the fire burned fiercely in Wu Ning¡¯s eyes. Wu Ning looked at the patterns and kept tracing the patterns in his mind. Suddenly, Wu Ning had an epiphany, and only then did he realize that these patterns were the Patterns for the Laws of Fire. ¡°Ding! Congratulations to the master for comprehending the Laws of Fire, 10000 points added to your Comprehension Points.¡± After five years, Wu Ning finally heard the mechanical voice of the system again, but how were the Comprehension Points going to help him? The system sensed Wu Ning¡¯s doubts and took the initiative to answer, ¡°Comprehension Points can be used to purchase goods in the system store.¡± Hearing that goods could be purchased, Wu Ning opened the system store. Inside, there were various cultivation techniques, pills, and weapons. Wu Ning was the first to open the cultivation technique store. Looking at the various divine level cultivation techniques inside, he was almost dazzled. However, very soon, Wu Ning¡¯s excitement was extinguished by a long string of zeros behind the price tags of divine-level cultivation methods. Initially, he thought that 10,000 Comprehension Points were enough for him to go for a shopping spree in the store. However, he did not expect that even a Soul Nurturing Pill would cost 5,000 Comprehension Points. Wu Ning gritted his teeth and bought two Soul Nurturing Pills. Then, he consumed all of the Soul Nurturing Pills and looked at the Formation Mark. [Activating Formation Mark] [Name: Wu Ning] [Realm: Foundation] [Attributes: Mixed] [Laws: Law of Fire (Embryo)] [Treasure: None] [Base Technique: Level 4 Soul Palace] [Cultivation Method: Tiger Hall Technique] [Treasure Point: 0] The two Soul Nurturing Pills only raised the Soul Palace by two levels. It seemed that it would get exponentially difficult to raise the Soul Palace. However, Wu Ning was not discouraged. As long as he could raise it, he was not afraid of the difficulty.. Chapter 3 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Wu Ning did not look at the fire anymore. He had already comprehended the embryonic form of the Laws of Fire. The fire was no longer of any help to him. At this time, Wu Ning¡¯s parents returned from their hunt. They looked at the fire that Wu Ning had spent a long time building in shock. His father was the first to walk to the fire. He felt a wave of warmth. He put his hand into the fire to get more warmth, but was stopped by Wu Ning. Wu Ning shook his head. ¡°This is fire. If you put your hand in it, you¡¯ll get burned.¡± Wu Ning¡¯s father looked at Wu Ning in confusion. ¡°Fire? Is this called fire? I can feel a wave of warmth when I get close to it. What¡¯s the use of fire?¡± Wu Ning added a handful of firewood and said, ¡°The fire keeps you warm in winter. It allows us to eat cooked food. It can also boil water so that we can drink hot water.¡± Wu Ning¡¯s father was even more confused. Cooked food? Hot water? What were those? Wu Ning did not finish his explanation. Instead, he cleaned up the carcasses of animals they had hunted today and put them into the fire to roast. Wu Ning originally wanted to boil a bowl of water, but he did not have a container that could hold water. Usually, when he drank water, he would roll up the leaves and use them as a spoon to scoop up water. However, the leaves could not withstand the roasting of the fire, so he had to give up. Soon, the meat that was put into the fire gave off a fragrant smell. Wu Ning¡¯s parents were mesmerized by the fragrance and stared at the meat in the fire. Wu Ning shook his head, indicating that it was not ready yet and that they would have to wait a little longer. Finally, when Wu Ning¡¯s parents drooled for a long time, Wu Ning took out the meat. He pulled out a bone knife, and cut it open. He gave a large portion to his parents and only kept a small portion for himself. Wu Ning¡¯s parents quickly wolfed down on the meat. Wu Ning took a small bite. Although it was very fragrant, it didn¡¯t have much flavor. He didn¡¯t have anything to season on his hands, so that¡¯s all he could have for now. However, it was better than eating raw. If there were a chance in the future, he would definitely make the seasoning. Although Wu Ning wasn¡¯t very satisfied with the roasted meat, his parents were very satisfied. They had always eaten raw meat. It was their first time eating roasted meat, and they felt that it was extremely delicious. They finished the roasted meat in no time and licked it clean with their satisfied fingers. Seeing that they were eating so well, Wu Ning started to roast another piece of meat for them. The couple continued to stare at the meat crackling in the fire. *** Soon, another five years passed. Wu Ning taught everyone in the mountains how to use fire. He told them to eat cooked food, drink boiling water, and taught them some simple words. Wu Ning found that he could get twenty Comprehension Points for every word he taught. During these five years, he received a total of 50,000 Comprehension Points. He exchanged them for four Soul Nurturing Dragon Pills and upgraded the Nine Level Soul Palace to the Rank Seven of the First Level of the Soul Palace. With 30,000 comprehension points left, Wu Ning didn¡¯t plan to get more Soul Nurturing Dragon Pills. They were no longer of much use to him. Instead, Soul Nurturing Dragon Liquid, worth 30,000 points a bottle, was the thing to get if he wanted to level up. As of now, he could only purchase one bottle. Gritting his teeth, he went for the trade. After raising his Soul Palace to Rank Nine of the First Level, his Conscience began to change. The purple Souls in his Conscience began combining, gradually revealing the appearance of a palace, this was the first level of the Soul Palace. Wu Ning carefully observed his Soul Palace. Although there was only one level, Wu Ning could feel the terrifying power emitted from the Soul Palace. Was this the Soul Palace? He spent ten whole years just to get to the first level. Suddenly, Wu Ning found something amiss with his Soul Palace. There seemed to be a person sitting on the throne in the Soul Palace. Wu Ning went into the inner room. On the throne sat a man with a black dragon tattoo. The man had his eyes closed, his head lowered, and his whole body was wrapped in chains. He looked very domineering, and that chain emitted a thick bloody aura. One didn¡¯t have to guess to know that the chains had taken countless lives. Just as Wu Ning continued to observe the man, he suddenly opened his eyes. Wu Ning¡¯s gaze met his eyes and they stared at each other. Then, the man in black closed his eyes again and lowered his head, just like his previous stance. It made Wu Ning feel as if what he saw was just an illusion. The man in black never opened his eyes and never met his gaze. However, from the palpitations of his heart, Wu Ning knew what happened was indeed real. That pair of eyes flashed past Wu Ning¡¯s mind, filled with an oppressive and murderous aura. Wu Ning saw that pair of eyes. It was as if nothing in this world could match that man¡¯s gaze. Wu Ning stood there in a daze, recalling what he had just seen. He did not know when he could become as oppressive as the man as well. However, Wu Ning quickly calmed down. He was still too weak. He only managed to cultivate a level of Soul Palace after ten years, and the white-clothed youth he had seen in the teleportation array could cultivate a Soul Palace the moment he was born, the difference was too great. However, Wu Ning was not jealous. He believed that he would definitely be able to surpass the white-clothed youth. Wu Ning no longer wondered why there was a man in black sitting in his Soul Palace. In any case, he could not figure it out. As long as the man did no harm to him, he could sit anywhere he wanted. Wu Ning sat outside the cave and looked at the setting sun. In a short while, his parents in this world returned with their food. Wu Ning took the carcass and skillfully removed their skins and innards. He then cut them up into small pieces and put them into the fire to roast. His parents sat around the fire and watched the meat being roasted slowly. It was the happiest time of their day, smelling the aroma of the food and getting warmth by the fire. As Wu Ning turned over the roasted meat, he said to his parents, ¡°I¡¯m planning to go on a long trip tomorrow. I don¡¯t know when I¡¯ll be back.¡± His parents looked at each other. They knew that this day would come eventually, but they didn¡¯t expect it to come so soon. They knew from the moment Wu Ning brought them fire that their son wouldn¡¯t stay forever, he would leave one day. They didn¡¯t have the ability to give Wu Ning the best. They could only try to hunt more prey every day so that Wu Ning wouldn¡¯t go hungry. All they could was not to affect his progress. The atmosphere was silent for a moment, and the father said, ¡°If you want to go, then go. You don¡¯t have to worry about your mother and me. We can take care of ourselves. However, you have to be careful when you go out. There are so many wild beasts out there and you must know how to protect yourself. Don¡¯t let yourself get hurt. Don¡¯t let your mother worry about you.¡± Wu Ning nodded. ¡°I know. Don¡¯t worry, father and mother. I will take good care of myself.¡± Wu Ning¡¯s mother did not say anything. She just sat silently wiping away her tears and then went to help her son pack up. The mother picked out a piece of intact animal skin. She wanted to help Wu Ning sew a new piece of clothing so that he could wear it on the road. She sat beside the fire and carefully sewed them together one stitch at a time. When the meat was ready, Wu Ning told her to eat, but she did not comply. The father understood her feelings and did not stop her. He just ate the barbecue with his son and looked at mother seriously. It was not until late at night that she finished sewing the clothes. Mother Wu placed the clothes on Wu Ning and gestured at them. They fit very well. Mother Wu smiled in satisfaction, but when she thought about how Wu Ning was going to leave the next day, her expression turned from happy to concern. Then, she carefully packed Wu Ning¡¯s things so that it would be more convenient for Wu Ning to leave tomorrow.. Chapter 4 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The next day, Wu Ning woke up and found that his parents had not gone hunting today. The mother was roasting meat while the father was knitting something. Wu Ning walked to the fire and found that the mother had already roasted a lot of meat. The cave was filled with the aroma. When both the father and the mother saw that Wu Ning had woken up, they hastened their movements. Soon, the father finished knitting and he handed his masterpiece to Wu Ning. Only then did Wu Ning see that it was a pair of straw sandals. Wu Ning put the straw sandals on his feet. They fit very well. The straw sandals were woven very tightly, unlike ordinary straw sandals that would fall apart after wearing them for a period of time. After Wu Ning tried them on, he took off the straw sandals and carefully put them away. Then, Wu Ning¡¯s mother passed two pieces of roasted meat over. Wu Ning and Wu Ning¡¯s father took the meat and started eating. Wu Ning¡¯s mother did not eat with them. Instead, she continued roasting the meat. Then, she wrapped all the roasted meat with leaves, tied it up with a string, and put it into Wu Ning¡¯s baggage. Only then did Wu Ning understand why his mother had roasted so much meat today. After his father finished eating, he also followed his mother in cleaning up. Wu Ning sat by the fire and silently watched them busy in their activities. Whether it was his previous life or this life, Wu Ning was an orphan. He had never felt the love of his parents. He did not expect to experience the love of a father and a mother when he descended to the Otherworld. Wu Ning smiled. He did not know whether he was feeling sad for himself or actually moved by this scene. Wu Ning watched as they wished they could stuff everything they possessed into his baggage. He walked to their side and smiled as he shook his head to stop them. There were so many things that he did not need at all. It was better to leave these things with his parents. In the end, under Wu Ning¡¯s insistence, he only brought the new clothes that his mother had sewn yesterday, the straw sandal made by his father and some roasted meat as provisions for his journey. His parents watched Wu Ning walk further and further away, gradually disappearing from their sight. His mother turned around and cried. It was a sad scene, even without the presence of the setting sun and the bleak autumn wind. *** After Wu Ning exited the deep mountains, he wandered around. Whenever he encountered a tribe, he stopped to teach them how to use fire and how to read. On this day, Wu Ning had just left the previous tribe and continued to wander around. After walking for a few days, he encountered a tribe. It seemed that this tribe was a large tribe, bigger than all the other tribes he had encountered before. Wu Ning quickened his pace and walked over. In Wu Ning¡¯s eyes, these were not tribes, but merely a bunch of . Wu Ning walked into the tribe and stayed in the tribe for a few days. After getting to know the people in the tribe, he began to teach them how to turn wood to make fire and how to use fire to roast food. He also taught them how to make clay bowls and boil the water in the clay bowls. By doing so, diseases could be reduced. After everyone had mastered how to use fire, Wu Ning began to teach them how to read. Gradually, Wu Ning¡¯s fame spread throughout the entire tribe and he was known as a prophet. In the largest tent in the center of the tribe, Kuang Chi was also ten years old. He had used a purple-gold birth card to descend to the Otherworld and became the son of the tribe¡¯s leader, an amazing starting point. Therefore, from the age of five, he spent huge sums of money sending people out to search for resources everywhere, looking for cultivation techniques that could be cultivated. Five years later, Kuang Chi finally found a cultivation technique. At the same time, he sold some of the useful resources he had found, such as the Formation Mark. Anything he found in the Otherworld and his cultivation would disappear once he left the Otherworld. Therefore, the Teleport Array created a recycling store in the Magic Circle imprint, new arrivals could exchange the resources they obtained in the Otherworld for treasure points in the store. Their cultivation would also be converted into treasure points when the Magic Circle appraised them. The treasure points were the currency of this world. Kuang Chi had obtained a total of 100,000 treasure points from the resources he searched. He could only use the treasure points to exchange for cultivation resources with the others when he got out. In the following period of time, Kuang Chi ordered his people to continue searching for resources and cultivating techniques. He believed that in the remaining 90 years, he would definitely be able to comprehend the Laws. Green City would be shocked to know he achieved that and finally he could do what he wanted to do. ¡°Oh? Wu Ning, the prophet? Could he be the white-clothed youth?¡± He had put all his energy into searching for resources and cultivating techniques, that he did not pay much attention to the matters of the tribe. However, the name of the prophet Wu Ning had already reached his ears, and it seemed that things were not as simple as it seemed. Kuang Chi called over a subordinate to inquire, but only knew that the prophet was very young. As for the rest, he did not know. Kuang Chi could only guess whether this prophet was the white-clothed youth. The white-clothed youth bought the Divine Soul Dragon Roar Pill, and could cultivate a level of Soul Palace immediately upon birth. In comparison, he had already cultivated for ten years this year, and had only cultivated to Rank Five Level One of Soul Palace. He had long been left far behind by the other party. ¡°That white-clothed youth probably has a great identity and background. I cannot offend him. Otherwise, I¡¯m afraid that he¡¯ll unleash his wrath upon us.¡± Kuang Chi suppressed the jealousy in his heart and instructed his subordinates to keep an eye on the prophet¡¯s movements. In the tribe, Wu Ning was teaching everyone morality and law. They were already getting literate. It was time to teach them the concept of morality and law. Only when a person had morality and law in their heart could they be called a person. Otherwise, if a person would not be bound by morality, he would do all kinds of evil. What was the difference between him and a beast? ¡°Ding! You¡¯ve imparted morals to the people. + 1000.¡± ¡°Ding! You¡¯ve brought law to the people. + 1000.¡± ¡°¡­¡± The notifications kept ringing in his mind. Wu Ning was very happy in his heart, but he continued to explain to everyone calmly, as if the news didn¡¯t just interrupt him. By imparting morality and law, his increased rapidly. In just three days, he had obtained 30,000. Adding to the 40,000 he had accumulated previously, he had a total of 70,000. Wu Ning exchanged them for two bottles of Divine Soul Dragon Liquid. After consuming the two bottles of Divine Soul Dragon Liquid, Wu Ning¡¯s Soul Palace had risen to Rank Three Level 2 of the Soul Palace. He could already vaguely see Level Two of the Soul Palace. However, it was still surrounded by a layer of purple mist, so he could not see it clearly. ¡°Ding! Congratulations for breaking through to Level Two of the Soul Palace. The cultivation method store has been unlocked. Please head to the store and have a look.¡± Wu Ning was very excited when he finally unlocked the cultivation method store. All these years, he had not searched for cultivation methods that could be cultivated because he was waiting for the system to unlock the cultivation method store. After all, the cultivation methods produced by the system must be much more powerful than the cultivation methods that he found. Right now, he still had 10,000 and he did not know what kind of cultivation methods he could exchange for. In his mind, he directly opened the cultivation method category in the system store. There were all kinds of cultivation methods in there, and Wu Ning was somewhat dazzled by them. Unfortunately, the cultivation methods he cultivated in the other world would disappear when he returned to the real world, but fortunately, they could be exchanged for points. Wu Ning looked at the cultivation techniques in the mall, and for a moment, he didn¡¯t know what to choose. They were all high-level cultivation techniques, such as the true spirit divine mystery technique, the Great Sun Majestic Dragon technique, the immortal nerve, and so on. Wu Ning struggled for half an hour, and finally chose the ¡°Immemorial Mystic Scripture (Remnant)¡±. Although it was only a remnant, it was sufficient in the Otherworld. And because it was a remnant, Wu Ning could afford its price, which was 8,000. Wu Ning purchased it and began cultivating.. Chapter 5 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation On this day, Wu Ning was preaching when someone suddenly came to inform him that the youngest prince of the tribe wanted to see him. Wu Ning was very famous in the tribe and was given the title of high priest. His status was very high and many princes would come to visit him, so Wu Ning was not surprised this time. Following the messenger to the little prince¡¯s wooden house, Wu Ning and Kuang Chi sized each other up. Kuang Chi said coldly, ¡°If you are not the white-robed youth, who are you?¡± The white-robed youth carried a Law treasure and would descend for half of his life. Such a treasure usually would not be away from his body, and Wu Ning did not have a Law treasure on him, so naturally he was not the white-robed youth. Wu Ning looked at Kuang Chi in amusement. ¡°Prince, who do you think I am? Do you need a reminder?¡± Kuang Chi sneered. ¡°You¡¯re just a lucky person. You obtained some treasures at birth, yet you dare to speak to me in such a tone. You¡¯re really not afraid of death. I believe you¡¯ve only just realized who I am. That¡¯s right, I¡¯m Kuang Chi. My family is ranked in the top three of Green City.¡± ¡°You¡¯d better tell me what treasure you obtained at birth and how many treasure points you sold it for. Don¡¯t lie to me. Otherwise, even after leaving, I will have countless ways of finding out.¡± As long as it was not the white-robed youth, he was not afraid of even Yi Baiqing. Moreover, in the array, other than him, Yi Baiqing, and the white-robed youth, the others were all ordinary people. They could not even afford any Soul Nurturing Dragon Pills. Wu Ning found Kuang Chi¡¯s attitude somewhat funny. These disciples of powerful families were all arrogant. If they met someone stronger than them, or if the family¡¯s influence was greater than theirs, like that white-robed youth, they would probably become cowards again. Wu Ning did not want to bother with him. ¡°What I received is my business. There¡¯s no need for Young Master Kuang to worry. If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll leave first.¡± Then, he walked out, leaving Kuang Chi fuming in the room. How dare he talk to him like that. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. Kuang Chi raised his hand and flipped the table over. The servant outside the door heard the noise and quickly came in to clean up. Kuang Chi waved for the servant to come forward. After thinking for a moment, he asked the servant to leave. He wanted to kill Wu Ning in the Otherworld. Although this would not cause any harm to Wu Ning in the real world, he still did not like Wu Ning. However, considering that Wu Ning was the high priest of the tribe and his status was not low, if he made a move, it would definitely shake the tribe. A large portion of the tribe¡¯s people still supported Wu Ning very much. If Wu Ning were killed and an investigation took place, it would be difficult for him to escape. He might not be able to stay in this tribe in the future. ¡°Looks like I can only find Yi Baiqing or that white-robed youth to work together.¡± To Wu Ning, this encounter with Kuang Chi was just a minor matter. Wu Ning did not take it to heart. Kuang Chi and the Kuang family alone were not a threat to him. After Wu Ning returned, he continued to impart knowledge to the various tribes, teaching them how to count and how to be morally virtuous. *** Time passed quietly. In the blink of an eye, ten years had passed. During these ten years, Wu Ning traveled between various tribes. Not only did he teach them knowledge, but he also taught them various techniques, such as how to weave bamboo, vines, and leaves. He also taught them how to raise silkworms. He also taught them how to use silk to spin cloth and make clothes. He taught them how to identify herbs, apply the right medicine, which in turn reduced the mortality rate. He taught them how to differentiate between men and women. Close relatives were not allowed to intermarry. This reduced the birth rate of deformed children and greatly increased the population. He taught them all of his knowledge on Planet Blue in Otherworld, boosting their development by centuries. In these ten years, Wu Ning had obtained a total of 377,000 Comprehension Points, and he had successively exchanged them for ten bottles of Divine Soul Dragon Liquid. After spending 300,000 Comprehension Points, he managed to achieve Rank Three Level Two of Soul Palace. During these years, when Wu Ning cultivated, he would occasionally observe the black-robed man sitting in his soul palace. However, other than sitting on the throne of the Rank Three Soul Palace after he had cultivated it, the black-robed man didn¡¯t do anything else. He lowered his head and closed his eyes every time Wu Ning looked at him. It was as if he was asleep, and he did not open his eyes again. Moreover, Wu Ning did not know how he had moved from the first level to the second level, and then on to the third level. Wu Ning was puzzled and there was nobody else to ask. Fortunately, the black-robed man did not harm him, so Wu Ning let him be. Wu Ning visited each tribe and felt that the development of each tribe had matured. He wondered if it was time to teach them something else. For example, opening a market and letting people exchange things they didn¡¯t want for things they needed, bartering. There was no money yet, so Wu Ning could teach them how to forge money, but this still needed to be done step by step. If they skipped the process of bartering and jumped to the era of currency, not many tribes would accept it. Only by letting them experience the trouble of bartering and the benefits of currency could they successfully promote currency among them. After Wu Ning finished cultivating, he planned to go out for a walk to relax. Cultivation required a combination of work and rest. Wu Ning walked to the side of a waterfall and watched as the water from the waterfall fell heavily onto the rocks. Suddenly, Wu Ning walked down the waterfall. The water from the waterfall fell on his body as if it weighed thousands of kilograms. Fortunately, Wu Ning was prepared in advance. He used the horse stance and was not knocked out by the power of the waterfall. The weight of the water from the waterfall kept falling on his body. Wu Ning did not have any intention of retreating. He raised his head and looked up. In the past, he was admiring the waterfall from the outside. Now that he looked at it from a different perspective, Wu Ning felt that something was stuck in his brain, he just couldn¡¯t rush out. Just like that, Wu Ning sat in the horse position and stared at the waterfall. He felt that his mind was getting clearer and clearer. The hazy feeling he had just now was about to rush out of his mind. Just like that, he didn¡¯t know how much time had passed. From day to night, and from night to day. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that Wu Ning had cultivated to the peak of Foundation in this world, he would have been crushed into minced meat by the waterfall a long time ago. An insect unfortunately got into the waterfall and was hit by a big drop of water. In an instant, the insect¡¯s body was smashed into pieces. Seeing this scene, Wu Ning kept recalling it in his mind. Suddenly, a white light flashed in his sea of consciousness. He had an epiphany. ¡°Ding! Congratulations on comprehending the Laws of Water. You have received 10,000 Comprehension Points.¡± Wu Ning was happy in his heart. He didn¡¯t expect that he had really comprehended the Laws of Water. However, it was thanks to his three-layered soul palace that he had cultivated. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have comprehended the Laws of Water so easily. At the very least, he had to stay in the waterfall for a few days. Wu Ning left the waterfall and returned to his residence. He wanted to consolidate the Laws of Water that he had just comprehended.. Chapter 6 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Another five years passed, and Wu Ning once again looked at his Formation Mark. [Activating the Teleport Array] [Name: Wu Ning] [Status: Foundation Complete (Otherworld)] [Attributes: Miscellaneous] [Laws: Fire (Domain) Water (Meaning)] [Treasures: None] [Base Techniques: Level Three Soul Palace, Rank Two] [Cultivation Method: Tiger Hall Technique, Immemorial Mystic Scripture (Incomplete) (Otherworld)] [Treasure Points: 740,000] His soul had already risen to Level Three Rank Two Soul Palace, and his soul had completely transformed. Right now, it could be said that he could completely comprehend any cultivation method within a short period of time. Previously, he was still unable to sense it, but now he understood¡­ the limit of this world was the completion of Foundation, and he was unable to advance any further. No matter how sensitive his soul was, or even if he comprehended the golden core chapter from the ¡°Immemorial Mystic Scripture (Remnant)¡±, he was still unable to advance his status to the golden core stage. This was the limit of Heaven and Earth, the restriction of the Laws. He was unable to contend with Heaven and Earth, at least for now. ¡°It¡¯s time to leave!¡± Wu Ning opened his eyes and looked at his surroundings as he muttered. Following that, Wu Ning slowly stood up. His Comprehension Points had accumulated to their limit, so there was no point in remaining any longer. Wu Ning casually waved his hand, and the door automatically opened. He stepped out, leaving the tribe behind. By the time the tribal people realized his absence, it had been a few days since he left. At this moment, Wu Ning was already on his way back to his hometown. He had been away for too long, and he wanted to go visit his parents. By the time Wu Ning returned home, his parents were already in their sixties. Wu Ning had bought many life-prolonging treasures in the system store, so they were still rather healthy. Several years had passed. His father was already old, and his mother had already entered the advanced age range. Even with the life-prolonging treasures in their bodies, their lives could not withstand the passage of time. Five years later, his father passed away at the age of seventy-three. Two years passed. Struck with grief, his mother¡¯s body gradually became plagued by illness. She passed away at the age of sixty-nine. Wu Ning did not feel too much grief. In the Otherworld, being able to live for more than sixty years was already considered advanced age. After Wu Ning finished holding vigil for his parents, he began traveling around the world. With his perfect Foundation realm and powerful soul connection, all the resources and treasures in this world could not escape his eyes. In just five years, Wu Ning managed to obtain 2.7 million treasure points. He could buy forty-five bottles of Divine Soul Dragon Liquid with these treasure points. However, the Divine Soul Dragon Liquid was no longer of much use to Wu Ning. Now, Wu Ning could only exchange them for Divine Soul Dragon Roar Pills. The 2.7 million treasure points were only enough for Wu Ning to buy two Divine Soul Dragon Roar Pills. In the 45th year since Wu Ning arrived in the Otherworld, Wu Ning arrived at the snowy mountains of the wilderness. Wu Ning watched the snowflakes fall one after another. It was unknown how many snowflakes had to fall to blanket these mountains in snow. Wu Ning strolled along casually. He stretched out his hand to catch the snowflakes and watched them melt in his palm. He walked to the side of a small stream, watching it trickle. Who knew just how much snow had to melt to keep the stream flowing. Wu Ning sat down and quietly observed the stream. He felt that his comprehension of the Laws of Water had reached the true intent realm. Wu Ning was somewhat happy, but he originally thought that he could comprehend the Laws of Ice this time, but in the end, he did not have any progress at all. Wu Ning was somewhat disappointed. Although he did not comprehend the Laws of Ice, he had already comprehended the true intent of the Laws of Water. This was already very good. As for the Laws of Ice, there was no rush. He still had time¡­ he could slowly comprehend it in the following time. Wu Ning found a cave in the snow mountain and stayed there. When he was thirsty, he drank snow water. When he was hungry, he went out to hunt. Although the materials in the snow mountain were scarce, there were still some animals living there. During the days on the snow mountain, Wu Ning felt as if he had returned to the days when he was born and lived with his parents. When he was hungry, he went out to hunt. When he was thirsty, he drank spring water from the mountains. Wu Ning had lived on the snow mountain for two years. On this day, Wu Ning was hunting a white fox. In the end, he encountered an avalanche. Wu Ning hurriedly found a place to hide. The snow descended the mountain with a loud rumble, burying everything that he encountered underneath. Wu Ning watched and looked at the patterns of the heavy snow. He finally understood that the snow was not only cold, but could also melt. It also had the ability to destroy everything with ease. At that moment, Wu Ning finally comprehended the Laws of Ice. After Wu Ning comprehended the Laws, he did not leave. Instead, he remained on the snow mountain. On this day, Wu Ning was searching for a resource in the snow mountain. He sensed a rare snow lotus growing not far away, to which he estimated to be worth at least 500,000 treasure points. Furthermore, the snow lotus was of great help in comprehending the true meaning of the Laws of Ice. Wu Ning rushed towards the snow lotus. When he arrived, he felt three auras surging. Looking over, it turned out to be Yi Baiqing, Kuang Chi, and the white-robed youth fighting over the mountain¡¯s snow lotus. It was as if they had discovered this snow lotus long ago, and all of them were fully prepared. They were only waiting for the snow lotus to mature, defeating everyone and seizing it. However, the white-robed youth¡¯s strength was strong. Kuang Chi and Yi Baiqing could only work together to suppress the white-robed youth. Wu Ning approached them and watched the fight as it went on. With his current strength, he didn¡¯t have to join in the fight. His appearance immediately attracted the attention of Yi Baiqing and the other two. The three of them stopped and looked at Wu Ning. Being able to locate the peak of the snow mountain showed Wu Ning¡¯s strength. Kuang Chi saw Wu Ning. He had been looking for an opportunity to kill him over the years, but Wu Ning had been safe and sound. After knowing that Wu Ning¡¯s parents had passed away, Kuang Chi could no longer find any trace of him. Since he could not find him, Kuang Chi temporarily gave up on the idea of plundering the treasures on Wu Ning¡¯s body and focused on his cultivation. He did not expect Wu Ning to actually locate the peak of this snowy mountain. ¡°This white-clothed youth is very powerful. How about the three of us work together? First, we get rid of the white-clothed youth, then we¡¯ll distribute this snow lotus. I apologize to you for what happened in the tribe back then.¡± Kuang Chi thought about it and shouted at Wu Ning and Yi Baiqing. Of course, he couldn¡¯t really apologize to Wu Ning. He was only saying this to trick Wu Ning into working with him to deal with the white-clothed youth. After dealing with the white-clothed youth, he might have to work together with Yi Baiqing to deal with Wu Ning. After all, the white-clothed youth was now the biggest threat to him. Wu Ning and Yi Baiqing were both treasures in his bag. Yi Baiqing frowned, but she still nodded in agreement. At this moment, the two of them looked at Wu Ning. However, Wu Ning only chuckled. ¡°I want the snow lotus.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, a strange expression appeared on the white-clothed youth¡¯s face. He really could not understand what Wu Ning was thinking. was he really powerful, or was he just mad. Yi Baiqing looked at Wu Ning speechlessly. Kuang Chi rolled his eyes and looked at Wu Ning as if he was looking at a fool. ¡°Even if you want to take this snow lotus for yourself, you have to first get rid of that white-clothed youth, right?¡± Kuang Chi shouted. Kuang Chi thought of how to get rid of the white-clothed youth. Even if he could not kill him, he could still seriously injure him. As long as the white-clothed youth lost his fighting strength, then it would be easy for him to deal with Wu Ning and Yi Baiqing. Kuang Chi did think too highly of Wu Ning and Yi Baiqing, but he didn¡¯t know Wu Ning felt the same.. Chapter 7 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Wu Ning was just an ordinary person when he was in the Teleport Array. At that time, Kuang Chi, Yi Baiqing, and the white-clothed youth were all existences that he looked up to. But now, after being in the Otherworld for more than forty years, Wu Ning had undergone a huge transformation. It was not that he was the best, but with his current strength, there was no need for him to bother himself with the three. Wu Ning walked straight ahead, approaching the snow lotus. Yi Baiqing, Kuang Chi, and the white-robed youth¡¯s expressions changed and they attacked Wu Ning in unison. The white-robed youth struck out with his spear. Yi Baiqing and Kuang Chi did not have any weapons. Spirit energy gathered in their palms, and their attacks instantly arrived behind Wu Ning. However, Wu Ning did not look back. He continued his action of picking the snow lotus, and only an aura broke out from his body, circulating Wu Ning¡¯s body. Bang! Bang! Bang! The white-robed youth, Yi Baiqing, and Kuang Chi¡¯s attacks barely touched the aura before they were sent flying. The three of them fell crashing to the ground, creating three large craters. Their eyes were filled with disbelief and shock. ¡°How is this possible? How can you be so strong? Impossible, this is impossible¡­¡± ¡°Laws? You actually comprehended the Laws?¡± ¡°There¡¯s more than one. Laws of Fire, Ice, and Water. How is this possible?¡± Everyone else was blessed and gifted when they first arrived in the Otherworld. They could enter the various sects to cultivate, and the ability to comprehend two Laws was considered extremely rare. These people were the targets of various sects. And now, they had arrived in the Otherworld only halfway through their time and yet this person in front of them had actually comprehended three laws. He wasn¡¯t just a genius, he was a monster! They had spent all their effort only to comprehend one law, even then it was only in the embryonic form. Now, the person standing in front of them had comprehended three laws. His abilities would surely attract the attention of the Five Great Holy Lands. Wu Ning took the snow lotus and left without even looking at the three of them. Regardless of whether it was Kuang Chi, Yi Baiqing, or the white-robed youth, their faces quickly turned red. The three of them were prodigies of their families, and they were the talents that their families valued the most. But now, they felt contempt from Wu Ning. That¡¯s right, contempt. It was as if they were fat pigs who couldn¡¯t move, but the opponent didn¡¯t even bother to attack. It was as if killing the three of them would dirty his hands. Kuang Chi couldn¡¯t stand such humiliation and shouted at Wu Ning, ¡°Argh! I¡¯m going to kill you!¡± The strength he had accumulated for more than forty years exploded at this moment, and his aura was terrifying. Wu Ning turned around lightly, and with a glance, a heavy pressure that was like a mountain suddenly pressed down. Kuang Chi¡¯s body could not withstand it, and his body completely collapsed. Yi Baiqing and the white-robed youth¡¯s expressions changed drastically, and their eyes were wide open. Three Laws being exerted at the same time was extremely terrifying. Wu Ning¡¯s comprehension was even more terrifying. At this moment, Yi Baiqing regretted making a move against Wu Ning. When Wu Ning left, he would definitely be recruited by people from the Holy Land. When that time came, Wu Ning would only need to say a word to destroy her family. The more Yi Baiqing thought about it, the more frightened she became. The white-robed youth was still fine, just shocked by Wu Ning¡¯s strength. Even though he had natural gifts from his family, he could not even defeat an ordinary person. The white-robed youth felt a sense of defeat in his heart. Wu Ning did not care about the two of them and left the snow mountain. Picking snow lotuses and killing Kuang Chi was nothing to him. His strength had long reached the limits of this world. Right now, he was more concerned about his own accumulation and resources. After Wu Ning left the snow mountain, he continued traveling around this world, searching for resources. A few years passed and Wu Ning had already set foot in all the regions of the Otherworld. There was nothing else for him to explore. Wu Ning pondered in his heart. He knew that he had thoroughly searched for all the resources of this world. Wu Ning returned to his hometown once again. This time, he had no intention of leaving. After returning to his hometown, Wu Ning began to live the life of an ordinary person who worked at sunrise and rested at sunset. After working for a few years, Wu Ning began creating paper. The transmission of civilization required paper as a medium. Relying on the memories of his previous life, Wu Ning tried and failed, again and again until he finally succeeded in creating the first sheet of paper. However, the paper was very rough and was far from being as smooth as the paper found on Planet Blue. However, as long as it could be used, it was fine. Wu Ning wrote the paper-making technique on the paper and spread it to all the tribes. ¡°Ding! Master has spread the paper-making technique. Comprehension Points + 10,000.¡± With the paper, Wu Ning began to write books again. He copied down literature classics from his previous life and added his own comments and thoughts to them. After spending more than twenty years, he gathered everything into a scripture called the Wu Collections. Although it wasn¡¯t complete, it contained Wu Ning¡¯s own understanding of this world. The moment Wu Collections was released, it shocked the world. ¡°Ding! Master has upgraded the civilization of this world. Comprehension Points + 10,000.¡± Outside the window, the canopy of the old tree was as thick as clouds. Wu Ning sat beside the desk, his white hair fluttering in the wind. At this moment, Wu Ning¡¯s spirit and energy had reached their peak. Wu Collections, which was placed beside the desk, shook and quickly flew into the sky. Borrowing the power of Heaven and Earth, it suddenly expanded and covered Heaven and Earth, covering all the tribes. Wu Ning bought a large number of low-level cultivation techniques from the system and spread them to all the tribes with the help of the Wu Collections. Soon, everyone saw the book of Wu Collections in the form of a holographic projection. A majestic voice boomed, ¡°The Era of Cultivation begins today. Techniques can be found in the Wu Collections.¡± Buzz Buzz Buzz! The projection faded away turning into streams of spiritual energy, dispersing itself in various tribes and settlements. In the distance, Yi Baiqing and the white-robed youth both recognized Wu Ning¡¯s voice and fell silent. Such means and strength shocked them. Throughout the history of the teleportation array, no one had ever been able to achieve such a feat on their first visit to the Otherworld. The moment the projection of the Wu Collections disappeared, Wu Ning discovered that the spiritual energy around him had disappeared. Soon after, another stream of heaven and earth spiritual energy wrapped around him. What Wu Ning did was rewarded by the consciousness of this world. Wu Ning subconsciously looked at the formation mark. [Activating Formation Mark] [Name: Wu Ning] [Status: Foundation Stage, Golden Core Completion (Otherworld)] [Attributes: Mixed] [Law: Fire (Domain), Water (Comprehension), Ice (Meaning)] [Treasure: None] [Base Technique: Level 3, Rank 9 of Soul Palace ] [Cultivation method: Tiger Hall Technique, Immemorial Mystic Scripture (Remnant) (Otherworld)] [Treasure point: 3,700,000] After doing all this, Wu Ning began touring the world. Previously, in order to search for resources, he had already traveled once, but at that time, it was only for resources. After descending into the Otherworld, he could stay for 100 years. Now, Wu Ning still had 18 years left. During these 18 years, he wanted to tour the world and see the scenery of this world. The day before Wu Ning was about to leave, he returned to the cave where he was born. He looked at everything inside and recalled the time he spent with his parents. Wu Ning smiled happily. After taking one last look at the cave, Wu Ning¡¯s figure slowly disappeared.. Chapter 8 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Within the teleportation array, white light swirled, and with swooshing sounds, streams of consciousness returned. Regardless of whether it was a premature death or those who had stayed for 100 years woke up at the same time. Everyone simultaneously looked at the teleportation array¡¯s imprint. At the instant they returned, the teleportation array would convert everything accumulated in the Otherworld into treasure points. At the same time, the teleportation formation would also give an evaluation. Wu Ning also looked at the formation mark. [Activating Formation Mark] [Name: Wu Ning] [Realm: Foundation] [Attributes: Miscellaneous] [Laws: Fire (Domain), Water (Domain), Ice (Meaning)] [Treasure: None] [Base Technique: Rank Nine, Level Three Soul Palace] [Cultivation method: Tiger Hall Technique] [Treasure Points: 17 million] Seeing the number of treasure points, Wu Ning was delighted. Before he left, his treasure points were only 3.7 million. After he used the cultivation method, his points had soared to more than 10 million. It seemed that the level of this Immemorial Mystic Scripture (Remnant) was still very high. It was at least worth 10 million. As for the cultivation level, its value was actually not very high. In this era of laws, as long as one had a divine treasure, they could instantly infuse their cultivation level with it. Even if it was just an ordinary person, they could advance to Foundation. Moreover, what they absorbed in the Otherworld was the qi of that world. It was not pure, and was far inferior to Origin Qi. ¡°Ah, the teleportation array only exchanged 10,000 treasure points for me. How unlucky!¡± ¡°I¡¯m worse. I only have 2,000 treasure points.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t even find a cultivation technique in the Otherworld. It¡¯s even worse. I wasted this one and only chance to descend.¡± ¡°Sigh, I only have 3,000 treasure points. It¡¯s too difficult to cultivate without resources in the Otherworld.¡± ¡°I wonder how the others¡¯ gains are.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, especially Kuang Chi, Yi Baiqing, and that white-robed youth. They¡¯ve bought so many things and made sufficient preparations. Their gains will definitely be more. They might even get an A grade.¡± Within the teleportation array, Kuang Chi was gritting his teeth as he surveyed his surroundings. If he had stayed for 100 years, he would definitely have comprehended the Laws and gotten an A grade. However, he was killed by that damned Wu Ning. He had only been alive 50 years. Now, not to mention an A grade evaluation, even a C would be difficult. Inside the teleportation array, Yi Baiqing and the white-robed youth were also looking around for Wu Ning. At this moment, the teleportation array suddenly sent down white pillars of light, enveloping every descender. Within these white pillars of light, rows of golden words quickly flashed out. These words displayed everyone¡¯s evaluation and rewards. ¡°Ah, how can I only get an E rating. This is impossible!¡± ¡°I received an F rating. My parents are going to be so disappointed¡± ¡°Me too! What else can I do now? I can¡¯t enter the sect to study, the points coming later are so expensive, don¡¯t tell me I have to enter the outer realm battlefield to kill Demon Beasts to get treasure points, right?¡± ¡°We are all ordinary people. We definitely won¡¯t be able to obtain high-level evaluations and rewards the first time we descend. It¡¯s better to work hard for a few decades and save up the treasure points for the next time we descend to the Otherworld.¡± ¡°I wonder what evaluations that Yi Baiqing, Kuang Chi, and the white-robed youth received.¡± Once these words were said, everyone looked towards the light pillar of Kuang Chi and the other two. ¡°Look, that white-robed youth actually received an A grade evaluation. As expected of an existence that can purchase the Divine Soul Dragon Roar Pills. He must have comprehended Laws in the alternate world.¡± ¡°An A grade evaluation? Those sects are still at his mercy.¡± ¡°I¡¯m really envious and jealous. If only I could also purchase the Divine Soul Dragon Roar Pill. Perhaps I could also comprehend Laws and obtain an A grade evaluation.¡± ¡°Stop dreaming. Even if you buy the Divine Soul Dragon Roar Pill, the probability of you comprehending the Laws is low. Do you think the Laws are so easy to comprehend? If you can comprehend the Laws just by buying the Divine Soul Dragon Roar Pill, then everyone present would buy it even if they had to sell everything they had.¡± ¡°Look, that Yi Baiqing also received an A. However, the color of her words is a little lighter than the white-clothed youth. The reward should not be as good as that white-clothed youth.¡± ¡°Eh, why did Kuang Chi receive a D? That¡¯s impossible!¡± Everyone was envious when they saw the white-robed youth and Yi Baiqing¡¯s A grade evaluation. Now when they saw Kuang Chi¡¯s D grade evaluation, they instantly felt much better. ¡°Hahahahaha, I didn¡¯t expect Kuang Chi to only get a D. Although I¡¯m only F grade, I instantly feel much better.¡± ¡°Kuang Chi¡¯s D grade is nothing. There are still people who haven¡¯t received any evaluations.¡± ¡°How pathetic. There¡¯s no evaluation at all.¡± Everyone looked at Wu Ning who did not have a white light beam descending. Wu Ning rubbed his nose. He did not know why he did not receive any evaluations. Based on what he had done in the alternate world, he should at least have an A grade evaluation. Even Yi Baiqing and the white-robed youth had an A grade evaluation. Why did he not receive anything? ¡°In 100 years, even if he was reincarnated as a pig, he would still receive an F grade evaluation, right? What¡¯s wrong with this guy?¡± ¡°I guess he was killed at birth. Otherwise, why doesn¡¯t he even have an F grade?¡± ¡°Then this guy is too unlucky.¡± Some people laughed at Wu Ning¡¯s misfortune, while others expressed their sympathy for him. Although they only had an F grade evaluation and couldn¡¯t join a sect, they could at least find a job. As for Wu Ning, he did not even have a rating. No one would be willing to hire him. He would probably have to rely on his parents for the rest of his life. However, the white-robed youth, Kuang Chi, and Yi Baiqing stared fixedly at Wu Ning. They recognized that it was Wu Ning who had snatched their snow lotus in the Otherworld. However, the white-robed youth¡¯s expression suddenly turned from grim to incredulous. He thought of a legend, but then he muttered, ¡°Impossible, impossible, absolutely impossible.¡± Kuang Chi and Yi Baiqing also guessed that Wu Ning was the strong man who took away their snow lotus, but they also do not know why Wu Ning did not get an evaluation. Just when everyone was wondering why Wu Ning hadn¡¯t been evaluated, a black-and-gold pillar of light suddenly fell from the sky and enveloped Wu Ning. In the light column, chaotic ice chi flying around in Wu Ning, finally chaotic ice chi blowing out a breath, breath into a line of text. [Congratulations to the newcomer of Green City, Wu Ning, receiving an SSS-grade evaluation, breaking the newcomer¡¯s record. You are rewarded with three free passes to the Otherworld.] [Congratulations to Wu Ning¡­] [Congratulations to Wu Ning¡­] The voice of primal chaos rang out from within the teleportation array. At the same time, the voice of primal chaos also spread to all the teleportation arrays around the world. For a moment, the entire world was shocked. All the sects were instantly in an uproar, and they immediately sent people to Green City. They had to recruit this genius. There had only been three times in the history of the teleportation formation with a Divine-tier evaluation. The last time it had appeared was 3,000 years ago. Who would have thought that in this era, another monstrous genius had appeared? It was simply too inconceivable for a newcomer to receive a Divine-tier evaluation. It was really hard to imagine. After all, most of the rookie descenders were penniless. Even for the juniors of those great clans, when they first descended, they would be given a large number of treasure points and buy a large number of medicinal pills to strengthen their souls. It was already very rare for them to be able to comprehend Laws in the other world. Among the previous batch of rookies, obtaining an S grade was already the highest evaluation. This was even from the juniors of a top ancient clan. Over the many years, no one had ever broken this record. However, not only had this evaluation been broken today, it had also been far surpassed. Obtaining an SSS-grade evaluation was already very inconceivable, and it was even at Divine tier. The commotion this caused was simply like an avalanche.. Chapter 9 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Wu Ning¡¯s name shook the world. Even if he were reduced to mediocrity in the future, it was enough for him to leave a legacy in the teleportation array. With his evaluation record alone, it was unprecedented. It was beyond the reach of all future descenders. ¡°Could it be that the expert who created the Wu Collections in the Otherworld and accelerated the development of the world is Wu Ning?¡± ¡°It¡¯s really him. Wu Ning is just a newcomer, but he broke the limits of the Otherworld in just a short 100 years by himself?¡± ¡°Oh my god! I¡¯d do anything to get on his terms.¡± ¡°No wonder he could obtain the SSS Divine-tier evaluation. He really deserves it.¡± ¡°I thought that the person who created Wu Collections was the creator of the Otherworld. In the end, it turned out to be a newcomer like us!¡± ¡°How did Wu Ning do it? He also descended for 100 years, but when he descended, he was just like us. He didn¡¯t even have a Soul Nurturing Dragon Pill.¡± ¡°Comparing ourselves really pisses me off. This Wu Ning¡¯s comprehension is superb, and it¡¯s very likely that he obtained some treasure the moment he was born.¡± ¡°Wu Ning is making us ordinary people proud. He completely crushed Kuang Chi, Yi Baiqing, and that white-robed youth. God damn!¡± Kuang Chi, Yi Baiqing, and the white-robed youth listened to the discussions of the crowd, and the corners of their mouths twitched. Kuang Chi, in particular, was filled with regret. If he had known that Wu Ning was so monstrous, he would have used all his strength to kill Wu Ning before he could grow up, reducing a powerful enemy for himself. But now, Kuang Chi was extremely worried. He was afraid that Wu Ning had already held a grudge against him and would come looking for trouble with him and the Kuang family in the future. Although the Kuang family was a giant in Green City, they were nothing outside of it. This made Kuang Chi feel extremely regretful. Boom! At this time, all the light beams in the teleportation array disappeared. A crack slowly appeared in the sky above the teleportation array. The teleportation array had been opened, but no one had left. Everyone looked at Wu Ning, hoping they¡¯d get the chance to talk to him. Everyone knew that the moment Wu Ning left the teleportation array, he would have an amazing life waiting for him. Yi Baiqing approached Wu Ning and bowed. Then, she said to Wu Ning, ¡°It was my fault for attacking you in the Otherworld. I¡¯m sorry.¡± ¡°As compensation, my family is willing to compensate you with 10 million treasure points!¡± When all the descenders heard the figure, their eyes widened. They did not expect the usually cold and aloof daughter of the Yi family to be so humble at this moment. Kuang Chi found it even more unbelievable. He did not expect Yi Baiqing to actually think of using an apology to strike up a conversation with Wu Ning. Kuang Chi thought about it in his heart. He gritted his teeth and directly knelt in front of Wu Ning. ¡°I should not have used my identity to threaten you in the Otherworld previously. The Kuang family is willing to compensate you with 20 million treasure points. I hope you can forgive me.¡± Wu Ning just stood there and watched their shenanigans. He didn¡¯t shake his head or nod. The white-robed youth watched this funny scene silently. He came from an ancient family so the pride of his family didn¡¯t make him as lowly as Yi Baiqing and Kuang Chi. The white-robed youth walked out of the teleportation array and was instantly stunned. Outside the teleportation array, there was a dense mass of people. In mid-air, there were many figures floating. The Daoist robes these people wore indicated that they came from powerful sects. These people surrounded the teleportation formation tightly, afraid that Wu Ning would escape. Feng Ren had just walked out when everyone¡¯s eyes were focused on him. His face instantly turned pale. Any one of these experts was a mighty figure who could dominate a region. Condensation, Foundation, Alchemy, Demigod, Dao Essence, Holy Essence, Saint, Saint King, Divine Realm¡­ Since the appearance of the Samsara Formation, the cultivation realm was not very important. Foundation was everywhere to be found and Alchemy and Demigods were not hard to find. However, to be a Saint and above, one needed a large number of natural treasures. As a Saint, one needed to comprehend at least one Law of the world. Therefore, the saint realm was the pillar of the various sects. With so many experts looking at him, Feng Ren, a newcomer, naturally could not withstand it. Fortunately, these mighty figures had deliberately restrained their auras. ¡°Isn¡¯t this Feng Ren from the Feng family? His A grade evaluation isn¡¯t bad.¡± ¡°Feng Ren, are you willing to come to my Meteorite Tower? I¡¯ll grant you the position of a successor disciple.¡± ¡°If you come to my Windward Palace, not only will I grant you the position of a successor disciple, I¡¯ll also give you one million treasure points every month. How about that?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Some representatives of the sects spoke out to recruit him. Under normal circumstances, an A grade evaluation would definitely cause them to fight tooth and nail for the position. Not to mention a mere successor disciple, even a personal disciple would be offered with both hands. However, this time was different. There was still an SSS divine-tier that had yet to appear. Feng Ren smiled bitterly, shook his head, and left. In the past, countless sects would fight madly for an A-tier. However, it seemed that these representatives were not in high spirits now. At this moment, a handsome young man dressed in ordinary clothes walked out. This young man was none other than Wu Ning, the main character who had shone brilliantly in the teleportation array today. When Wu Ning came out, everyone was excited. ¡°It¡¯s him, right? It should be him!¡± ¡°As expected of someone who has obtained the SSS Divine-tier rating. With just a glance, it¡¯s obvious that he¡¯s not an ordinary person.¡± ¡°What do you mean he¡¯s not an ordinary person? He¡¯s a future super expert!¡± ¡°Right, right, right. Look at me, I¡¯m so excited that I can¡¯t even speak.¡± Each of the powerhouses had an amiable smile on their faces, just like a human trafficker who was holding a candy in his hand to tempt a child to follow him. Feng Ren turned his head to look at Wu Ning, who was surrounded by the powerhouses behind him. His face was filled with a bitter smile. No one had actually paid attention to him. He sighed and left the teleportation array dejectedly. When Kuang Chi and Yi Baiqing saw this scene, only one thought flashed through their minds. Their apology was too light. Now, as long as Wu Ning spoke, there would be fifty powerful figures willing to help Wu Ning destroy their two families. The two of them quickly went to find their father and told him everything about how they had surrounded Wu Ning. Their father was so angry that he slapped them in the face. Then, he quickly pulled everyone in the family to Wu Ning. Wu Ning looked at the thousands of people standing in front of him with confusion. He didn¡¯t know what they were here for. Could they be here for revenge? But it shouldn¡¯t be. Now that so many powerful people had come to recruit them, even if they wanted to take revenge, they shouldn¡¯t have come at this time. Under Wu Ning¡¯s confused gaze, thousands of people knelt in front of him. ¡°Young Master Wu, previously, Kuang Chi, a member of our Kuang family, offended you in the Otherworld. It¡¯s our fault for not teaching Kuang Chi the right manners properly. In order to make amends, our family is willing to serve you to death. Please give us a chance to atone for our sins.¡± After saying that, everyone in the Kuang family waited for Wu Ning¡¯s reply. Before Wu Ning could say anything, the Yi family came again. Similarly, thousands of people knelt in front of Wu Ning. ¡°Young Master Wu, our family is also at fault. We¡¯ll do anything for you. We hope that Young Master Wu forgives Baiqing for her recklessness. We are willing to do anything for you.¡± All of the newcomers saw this scene as soon as they stepped out of the teleportation array. Their eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets. The Kuang family and the Yi family were both giants of Green City. At this moment, they were all kneeling in front of a youth, begging him to give them a chance to become his servants.. Chapter 10 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The others did not understand, but the other families in Green City revealed envious expressions. It was as if becoming Wu Ning¡¯s slave was a glorious thing, and even then they did not even have the chance to do so. Wu Ning¡¯s mind was also a little muddled. He was not surprised that Kuang Chi and Yi Baiqing knelt to apologize to him, but the Kuang family and the Yi family all knelt, wanting to be his servants. He was at a loss. Although he was talented, he was still weak. Even if he wanted to take revenge on the Kuang family and Yi family, he could not do it now. Moreover, due to the pressure of the countless alien races on the outer realm battlefield, fighting was strictly prohibited within the human race. Any grudges had to be resolved in the Otherworld. Wu Ning could not understand it, so he simply did not think about it. ¡°I have no intention of taking in slaves now.¡± Then, he lifted his leg and left the Kuang family, the Yi family, and even those mighty figures who had come to recruit students behind him. Those mighty figures were a little confused. He could¡¯ve just rejected the Kuang family and the Yi family, but why did he leave? Those mighty figures naturally wouldn¡¯t let Wu Ning leave just like that. ¡°Wu Ning, don¡¯t leave yet. If you¡¯re willing to join my Water Moon Tower, you¡¯ll have a free quota of descending to the alternate world once a month, and you¡¯ll be able to receive 50 million treasure points every year. These benefits will last for three years, and you can choose three additional nomological treasures at will.¡± As soon as this condition was laid out, gasps could be heard all around. This wasn¡¯t something that an ordinary sect could afford. Not to mention the 50 million treasure points per year, just the monthly quota alone was something that some small sects couldn¡¯t afford at all. This Water Moon Tower was indeed worthy of being a top-tier sect. One had to know that apart from the first time everyone descended for free, the 2nd to the 10th time they descended to another world would cost 3 million treasure points to purchase the quota. From the 11th to the 20th visit cost 30 million treasure points. While from the 21st and 30th visit cost 300 million treasure points. ¡­ In short, the more visits one had to make, the more treasure points one needed to purchase. If one visited more than 30 times, one would need to spend 3 billion treasure points for each visit. This was an astronomical figure. Only the most powerful sects could afford it, other than the Holy Land. Although Wu Ning was a little tempted when he heard this offer, he still shook his head and refused. Joining a top sect was not his goal. When the other top sects saw that Wu Ning refused, they all threw out even bigger conditions to get Wu Ning to join their sects. ¡°Join our Liefeng Mountain Villa, and I¡¯ll give you a free descending quota once a month. Every year, I¡¯ll give you 50 million treasure points, and I¡¯ll give you four law treasures. One of the law treasures doesn¡¯t limit its grade.¡± ¡°Wu Ning, join our Yanyue Sect, and I¡¯ll give you a free descending quota twice a month. Every year, I¡¯ll give you 30 million treasure points. How about three law treasures?¡± Although these conditions were very tempting to Wu Ning, Wu Ning rejected them all. Although these top sects were extremely powerful, Wu Ning had his own ideas. Wu Ning rejected all the experts and left the teleportation array. He did not lack free descending for the time being. Before the teleportation, he had been given three free descending quotas. He still had 17 million treasure points, enough for him to descend to several different worlds. Wu Ning was an orphan. He did not have a home, so he found a random hotel in Green City to stay. Wu Ning packed up and planned to go to the market. When he arrived at the market, Wu Ning strolled aimlessly. There were stalls on both sides of the street, and the stall owners were shouting. ¡°Young Master, come and have a look. My top-grade Dragon Soul Grass is a necessary herb for refining the Soul Nurturing Dragon Pill.¡± ¡°Young Master, come to my stall and have a look. Look at this top-grade spirit stone.¡± ¡°Young master, my stall is full of great stuff.¡± Wu Ning looked through every stall and did not find anything particularly good. He shook her head and left in disappointment. Wu Ning continued to stroll on the street and walked to a shop called the Thousand Treasures Pavilion. He planned to walk in and take a look. The moment he entered, a staff came up to greet him. ¡°Young Master, what do you need?¡± Wu Ning thought for a moment and said to the staff, ¡°Do you have storage rings here?¡± The staff immediately introduced, ¡°Yes, our pavilion has all kinds of treasures. I¡¯ll bring you around for a look.¡± As he said that, he led Wu Ning to a counter and saw that the counter was filled with storage rings. The staff enthusiastically introduced, ¡°Young Master, look, this storage ring not only has an exquisite appearance, but it also has five square meters of storage space inside.¡± Wu Ning shook his head. The staff wasn¡¯t affected. He picked up another storage ring and continued to promote, ¡°Young Master, look. This storage ring is made by a master craftsman. The storage space is extremely large and there is even an ice-melting stone embedded in it. Its appearance is extremely exquisite.¡± Wu Ning still shook his head. The staff asked, ¡°Then what kind of storage ring do you want, Young Master?¡± Wu Ning thought for a moment and said, ¡°I want the storage space to be as big as possible. It¡¯s best if it can hold living things.¡± The staff said, ¡°Young Master, we have a storage ring like this in our pavilion. It¡¯s pricy though.¡± Wu Ning said generously, ¡°The price is not a problem.¡± The staff said fawningly, ¡°Young Master, please wait here for a moment. I¡¯ll go and invite our manager. I¡¯m not one to make the decision.¡± Wu Ning nodded. ¡°You go ahead.¡± The staff immediately went upstairs to invite the manager. Not long after, a middle-aged man came over. ¡°Young master, do you want to buy a spiritual ruin interspatial ring?¡± Wu Ning thought that this spiritual ruin interspatial ring should be the storage ring that the waiter mentioned just now. He nodded and said, ¡°Yes.¡± The steward immediately made a gesture of invitation. ¡°Young Master, please come in. Let¡¯s discuss further.¡± Wu Ning raised his feet and walked into the inner room with the steward. A maid had already brewed tea in the inner room. The steward asked Wu Ning to wait for a moment before he went to get the spiritual ruin interspatial ring. Not long after, the steward lifted the curtain and walked in with a tray in his hand. The steward walked to Wu Ning¡¯s side and lifted the red cloth covering the tray. An exquisite ring appeared in front of Wu Ning¡¯s eyes. Wu Ning picked up the interspatial ring and examined it for a moment. Then, he nodded in satisfaction and put the interspatial ring back on the tray. ¡°Steward, how many treasure points does this interspatial ring have? I¡¯ll take it.¡± A smile immediately appeared on the steward¡¯s face. ¡°Young master, you really have a good eye. This ring was forged with the painstaking efforts of Master Xiang Yu. Not only does it have an enormous space, but it can also accommodate living things. Spiritual energy flows within it. If you put spirit stones into it, your cultivation will be twice the result with half the effort.¡± Having said that, the steward secretly glanced at Wu Ning and found that Wu Ning was not taken in by his words. His expression was calm, and the steward did not continue to deceive him. He coughed and said seriously, ¡°Young Master, if you want it, you can have it for three million treasure points.¡± Wu Ning immediately nodded and agreed. The steward thought that Wu Ning would find it expensive and start bargaining, but he did not expect Wu Ning to agree immediately. However, this was a good thing for him. He could get a lot of commission from selling this interspatial ring. The steward took three million treasure points from Wu Ning¡¯s array mark and then took out a purple-gold card and handed it to Wu Ning, he said, ¡°Young Master, this is our Thousand Treasures Pavilion¡¯s purple-gold membership card. With this card, your future spending at the Thousand Treasures Pavilion will be discounted by 30%.¡± Wu Ning took the purple-gold card and said, ¡°Thank you.¡± The steward¡¯s face beamed with joy. ¡°You don¡¯t have to thank me. Young Master, if you need to buy anything in the future, you can always come to me.¡± Wu Ning nodded in agreement. Then, he prepared to leave. The steward immediately sent him off. After sending him off, the steward said again, ¡°Young Master, please come again.¡± Wu Ning¡¯s mouth twitched. Why did this sentence sound so similar to what the brothel¡¯s madam had said? Wu Ning did not care about him and continued to wander aimlessly. Wu Ning walked to a small stall and picked up an item. His eyes glanced back and the corners of his mouth curled into a smile. He put down the item and quickened his pace to walk out of the city.. Chapter 11 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Outside of the city, Wu Ning stopped and a voice came from behind. ¡°This is a robbery. Hand over the interspatial ring you¡¯ve just bought!¡± Another voice added, ¡°Hand over all your treasure points and I¡¯ll spare your pathetic life. Or else¡­¡± Wu Ning turned around and looked at them with a funny expression. ¡°Or else?¡± One of them said fiercely, ¡°Or else, I¡¯ll make sure you die with your body all over the place.¡± Wu Ning tilted his head and asked, ¡°How did you know I bought an interspatial ring?¡± That person replied, ¡°You said you wanted to buy an interspatial ring at the pavilion just now. That steward invited you in and then respectfully sent you out. Apart from that interspatial ring, what else could it be? Hurry up and hand over that interspatial ring.¡± Wu Ning placed the interspatial ring on his palm and said with a smile, ¡°What makes you think you can snatch the interspatial ring from me?¡± When the two bandits saw the interspatial ring, their eyes went wide. One of them wiped his saliva and said, ¡°You¡¯re wearing such ordinary clothes, and you don¡¯t look like you come from a powerful family.¡± Wu Ning smiled and put away the interspatial ring. When the two men saw that the interspatial ring had been put away, they knew that Wu Ning wouldn¡¯t obediently hand it over to them. The two men looked at each other and their palms were filled with spirit energy. They attacked Wu Ning. Wu Ning just stood there, calmly watching their performance. When the two men¡¯s attacks came in front of them, he gently raised his palm and sent them flying. The two men on the ground looked at each other and saw the fear in each other¡¯s eyes. Then, they quickly got up and turned around to run. Wu Ning just stood there and watched them run. When they were about to run out of his sight, he suddenly attacked and used his spirit energy to carve the patterns of the Laws of Water in the surroundings. The two who had escaped were immediately pulled back into the domain. One of them said in horror, ¡°Domain, you actually cultivated a domain.¡± The other person was also full of horror. Wu Ning smiled at them and said, ¡°When you rob others, how can you just run away when you fail and escape unscathed?¡± ¡°Then what do you want?¡± ¡°Very simple, hand over all your treasure points.¡± ¡°You wish!¡± Wu Ning did not say anything else. The comprehension surrounding the two of them began to shrink. The two of them saw that the domain was getting smaller and smaller. Soon, it was going to crush them. Finally, they could not stand it anymore and shouted, ¡°We will give you all the treasure points. Quickly make him stop.¡± Wu Ning did not do anything, but the domain had stopped shrinking. Looking at the domain that had stopped shrinking, the two of them panted heavily. Today, they failed miserably. In the end, the two of them obediently gave all the treasure points to Wu Ning. The two of them had a total of 170,000 treasure points. Wu Ning curled his lips. So they were poor. However, it was better than nothing. With a wave of his hand, he withdrew his domain. The two of them immediately split up and fled. Wu Ning shook his head and smiled. He was quite smart, but he didn¡¯t have any intention of chasing after them. ¡°What an interesting little fellow. How interesting.¡±An old voice sounded. Before the voice could fade away, an old man in a blue robe with white hair and beard slowly appeared in front of Wu Ning. The sudden appearance of the old man in a blue robe was even more inexplicable. Wu Ning actually did not notice how the old man appeared. Although Wu Ning was panicking, he still stood there calmly and looked at the old man. When he saw this, Wu Ning¡¯s heart trembled violently. Although the blue-robed old man¡¯s face was old, his expression was unusual. His aura was restrained, causing Wu Ning to not be able to sense any spiritual energy fluctuations. However, he felt unprecedented pressure. ¡°Who are you?¡±Wu Ning asked in a deep voice. His expression was extremely grave. ¡°Someone you¡¯ve been waiting for,¡± the blue-robed old man said faintly. Wu Ning¡¯s eyes immediately widened. The person he had been waiting for, could it be¡­ The blue-robed old man seemed to have read Wu Ning¡¯s mind as he nodded. ¡°That¡¯s right. This isn¡¯t a place to talk. Let¡¯s go to the hotel where you¡¯re staying and talk.¡± As he spoke, he walked forward. Wu Ning had no choice but to follow him all the way to the hotel. The two of them remained silent. The blue-robed old man did not speak, and Wu Ning did not speak either. ¡°If you don¡¯t join those sects, aren¡¯t you waiting for the Holy Land¡¯s tournament? Actually, it doesn¡¯t matter even if you join those sects. The Holy Land doesn¡¯t value sects, but rather, they value talent,¡± the blue-robed old man said straightforwardly. Wu Ning shook his head. ¡°I don¡¯t want to join those sects because those sects won¡¯t be of much help to me. Joining them will only waste my time.¡± The old man smiled and said, ¡°What an arrogant little guy, but I like that.¡± The blue-robed old man continued, ¡°In six years, the human race¡¯s Holy Land Tournament will be open. You can give it a try. Entering the Holy Land will be of great benefit to you.¡± Wu Ning couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Senior, what are the requirements for participating in this Holy Land Tournament?¡± ¡°You know about the Holy Land Tournament, but you don¡¯t know the requirements?¡±The blue-robed old man asked. Wu Ning shook his head. ¡°I¡¯ve only heard about the Holy Land Tournament, but I don¡¯t know much about it.¡± ¡°There are only two requirements. One is that you must not be older than 100 years old, and the other is that you must be a human,¡± said the blue-robed old man. 100 years seemed old, but it was considered little for practitioners. In front of cultivators in the Training Ruins, Soul Formation, and even the Daoist Magic Realm, a hundred years was nothing at all. In front of these cultivators, a hundred years was like a babbling baby. One had to know that in this world, under normal circumstances, Foundation Realm cultivators had a lifespan of five hundred years, Soul Formation realm cultivators had a lifespan of three thousand years, and Daoist Magic Realm cultivators could live up to ten thousand years as long as they were not killed. After the Saint Realm, there was the power of the holy body. As long as the power of the holy body was not completely destroyed, it would not die. However, what shocked Wu Ning was that this Holy Land Tournament did not have any restrictions on the cultivation level of the practitioners. ¡°Senior, is there no restriction on cultivation level in this Holy Land Tournament?¡± ¡°True geniuses are not affected by cultivation level,¡± the blue bubble elder continued, ¡°And among the previous Holy Land geniuses, the cultivation level of the cultivators who participated in the tournament was uneven. Among them, there were many examples of Ruins Realm fighting Deity Transformation Realm and Deity Transformation Realm fighting Daoist Magic Realm. Cultivation level is not the standard to measure the true strength of a practitioner.¡± Wu Ning frowned. Cross-ranking tournaments were not easy, to begin with, and there were many geniuses in the Holy Land¡¯s tournament. It seemed that this Holy Land¡¯s tournament was not easy to participate in. The blue-robed elder smiled. ¡°Why, are you afraid?¡± Wu Ning shook his head. If he was afraid, how could he enter the Holy Land to cultivate? The human race¡¯s territory was unknown. On this vast land, there were countless humans living. Among the many humans, there were naturally all sorts of geniuses. Wu Ning was already filled with curiosity and interest towards the Holy Land¡¯s tournament six years later. At this moment, the blue-robed old man flipped his palm, and a purple jade token appeared in his hand. The purple jade token was only half the size of a palm, and there were a few patterns drawn on it. Wu Ning could not tell what those patterns were, but the words ¡®Heavenly Ruins¡¯ carved on them were very clear. The blue-robed old man introduced the purple jade token. ¡°Although the Holy Land¡¯s tournament will only begin six years later, registration has already begun. This jade token is the identity token after the registration. When the Holy Land¡¯s tournament begins six years later, you can use this jade token to go to any place where the Holy Land¡¯s tournament is held to participate in it.¡± Wu Ning took the jade token and said in puzzlement, ¡°Senior, doesn¡¯t the Holy Land Tournament require a name and identity proof? Can I really use this jade token?¡± ¡°Of course you can. Otherwise, why would I give you this jade token?¡± ¡°Senior just said that you can take this jade token to any place where the Holy Land Tournament is held.. Could it be that this tournament is not held in the three great Holy Lands?¡± Chapter 12 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Hearing this, the blue-robed old man couldn¡¯t help but laugh out loud. ¡°Hahahaha! The human race¡¯s territory is extremely vast. There are five regions, and each region has over 200 empires. The preliminary round of the Holy Land Tournament is held in each country. Only those who stand out from the empires can participate in the regional battles. Only those who stand out from the regional battles can enter the Holy Land and participate in the final round.¡± ¡°Kid, with your current strength, you won¡¯t even be able to stand out in the empire. You still have to work hard.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the blue-robed old man suddenly disappeared in front of Wu Ning. That¡¯s right, he had suddenly disappeared. Wu Ning didn¡¯t even see how he left. It was no different from disappearing into thin air. If it weren¡¯t for the purple jade token that the blue-robed old man had given him, Wu Ning would have thought that he was just dreaming. Looking at the purple jade token in his hand, Wu Ning¡¯s lips curled into a smile. After waiting for so many days, his wait was finally not in vain. He had to participate in the Holy Land Tournament. However, just as the blue-robed old man had said, Wu Ning¡¯s current strength was still too weak. Even in the empire¡¯s preliminary tournament, it would be difficult for him to stand out, let alone the upcoming regional tournaments. Wu Ning still had 70,000 Comprehension Points, so he should be able to exchange for a better cultivation technique in the system store. The original owner had previously cultivated the ¡°Tiger Hall Technique¡±, which was too trashy. It could only be considered an unrated cultivation technique. Wu Ning opened the system store and carefully browsed through it. Finally, after Wu Ning had browsed through the system store five times, he found an All-life Technique. ¡°The laws of the universe are all derived from the laws of the universe. The All-life Technique that I have made can integrate thousands of laws into one body.¡± This All-life Technique seemed to be tailor-made for Wu Ning. Wu Ning¡¯s attributes were mixed. Although it greatly slowed down Wu Ning¡¯s cultivation speed, as long as Wu Ning concentrated on cultivating and gathered thousands of Laws into one body, then he¡¯d be invincible. After taking a look at the All-life Technique, which only required 49,999 Comprehension Points, Wu Ning no longer hesitated. He immediately exchanged for it and started cultivating. It was not difficult to cultivate the All-life Technique. Wu Ning began to absorb the spiritual qi of the world according to the scriptures. In the room, Wu Ning cultivated for two whole days before opening his eyes again. Wu Ning took a look at the formation mark. [Activating Formation Mark] [Name: Wu Ning] [Status: Void Training Stage] [Attribute: Mixed] [Law: Fire (Domain), Water (Domain), Ice (Meaning)] [Treasure: None] [Base Technique: Rank 9, Level 3 Soul Palace] [Cultivation Methods: Tiger Hall Technique, All-life Technique] [Evaluation: SSS Divine-tier] [Reward: x2 chance to descend] [Treasure Points: 17 million] Wu Ning¡¯s lips curled into a satisfied smile. Void Training stage. It seemed like it was time for him to go to the teleportation array and descend for the second time. The next day, Wu Ning simply packed up and went to the teleportation array. The moment he stepped into the teleportation array, he immediately caused a sensation. ¡°Isn¡¯t this Wu Ning who received the SSS Divine-tier evaluation the last time?¡± ¡°Is Wu Ning going to descend to the Otherworld?¡± ¡°Ah! To think that I can descend together with Wu Ning today. I hope that we can descend to the same Otherworld.¡± Outside the teleportation formation, many people who did not initially want to descend rushed over to the teleportation formation. They wanted to descend together with Wu Ning. If they were lucky, they might be able to descend to the same Otherworld. This way, they would be able to strike up a conversation with Wu Ning, they might even be able to form some connections. Wu Ning did not care about the excitement of those people. He walked straight into the teleportation array and began waiting. Very soon, just like the last time, a white light descended from the array and enveloped everyone. Everyone lost consciousness at the same time. When Wu Ning regained consciousness again, he looked around. The sky was filled with black clouds, and shrill cries could be heard all around. Wu Ning was lying in the arms of a skinny woman. The woman was sitting on an ox-cart. Besides him and the woman, there was also a coffin on the ox-cart. Wu Ning¡¯s soul looked through the coffin and saw a skinny man lying in the coffin. It seemed that this man had been dead for a long time, and even his body was beginning to rot. Then, Wu Ning sensed his surroundings again. Wu Ning, who was still in his infant state, frowned. His powerful soul in his sea of consciousness allowed him to sense that a large number of ghosts were approaching. It seemed that they were attracted by the aura of strangers. Wu Ning didn¡¯t expect the environment to be so harsh this time, but he didn¡¯t panic at all. Opening the system store, Wu Ning spent 20,000 Comprehension Points to buy a Crimson Sun Flame Scripture. The yin spirits in this Otherworld were wreaking havoc, and this Crimson Sun Flame Scripture could counter their cultivation methods. This was the advantage of having the system. For other descenders, they could only send people to search for cultivation methods in this world after they were born, which was a few years slower than Wu Ning. Boom! Wu Ning¡¯s Rank 9 Level 3 Soul Palace had cultivated the Crimson Sun Flame Scripture to Level 3 in just a few breaths. It could condense a trace of Crimson Sun Flame. If this Crimson Sun Flame Scripture was given to the natives of this Otherworld, it would take them at least a hundred years to cultivate to Level 3. Whoosh! Whoosh! A gust of cold wind blew over. Sand and stones swept over the entire ox-cart, and a sharp sound could be heard in the air. The old man driving the ox-cart had a look of fear on his face. The skinny woman hugged Wu Ning tightly. The sound of ghosts crying echoed in the air. A faint golden light flashed in Wu Ning¡¯s eyes as he was held tightly in the woman¡¯s arms. Wisps of Crimson Sun Flame spread out. Soon, the air was filled with the stench of burnt skin and fur. At the same time, there were also many screams of fear. In just an instant, all the souls that had pounced on Wu Ning and his mother were burned to ashes by the Crimson Sun Flame. The cold wind disappeared in an instant, and the dark clouds in the sky all retreated to the horizon. A hint of golden light shone down from the sky. The sky was finally clear. The old man revealed in joy of having survived a disaster. He jumped off the ox-cart and knelt on the ground. He kept kowtowing and murmured, ¡°Thank Heavens, thank the Goddess of Mercy.¡± The woman¡¯s tense face also slowly relaxed. She lowered her head to look at Wu Ning, and a hint of happiness appeared on her face. The old man returned to the ox-cart and resumed driving. He sang folk songs that echoed in the valley. In the evening, the three of them finally arrived at a town. Wu Ning looked up and saw that the words ¡°Horse City¡± were engraved on it. The old man drove the ox-cart into the city. As soon as he entered the city gate, a large amount of paper money flew in the air. Funeral procession after funeral procession went out. No one in the procession cried, and everyone¡¯s faces were impassive. The ox-cart stopped by the roadside and quietly waited for the funeral procession to pass. Then, under the guidance of the woman, the ox-cart stopped in front of a rough house. The woman carried Wu Ning and got off the ox-cart. The old man also got off the ox-cart and unloaded the coffin together. The woman paid the fare and thanked the old man. The old man drove the ox-cart and left, still singing his folk songs. The woman took Wu Ning and stayed here for three years. Wu Ning had also grown up from a baby to a child. His mother had bought a field and every day, she would work hard in the field. When she wasn¡¯t too busy on the farm, she would occasionally get some odd jobs to help with the family¡¯s expenses. Although she was not rich, she had a stable life.. Chapter 13 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation On this day, Wu Ning was sitting cross-legged under a peach tree. The Crimson Sun Flame in his eyes was burning fiercely. During the past three years, he had already cultivated the Crimson Sun Flame Scripture to its limit. He could easily produce the Crimson Sun Flame that could raze a lake to the ground. He looked at the formation mark. [Activating Formation Mark] [Name: Wu Ning] [Status: Refined Void Training Stage (Microworld)] [Attributes: Omniscience] [Laws: Fire (Domain), Water (Domain), Ice (Meaning)] [Treasure: None] [Base Technique: Rank 9 Level 3 Soul Palace] [Cultivation Method: Tiger Hall Technique, All-life Technique, Crimson Sun Flame Scripture (complete)] [Evaluation: SSS Divine tier] [Reward: x2 Chance to descend] [Treasure points: 17 million] Wu Ning frowned. In three years, there were not many changes. Firstly, he was still growing. Secondly, he had already descended for three years, and he had yet to find a way to gain Comprehension Points. In these three years, he had also tried to teach everyone ethics, knowledge, and laws, but it was all useless. The system notification had not even rung once. Wu Ning did not feel tired from this. He already had a plan in mind. ¡®If I really can¡¯t find a way, then I can only search for the resources of this world,¡¯ Wu Ning thought to himself. Relying on his powerful soul power, he could achieve twice the results using merely half of his power. However, Wu Ning would use his soul to search for resources every once in a while in Mara City. There were no valuable resources to be found though. In the evening, after the sunset, and the dark clouds rolled down from the horizon, there were all kinds of ghosts in the dark clouds. It was despair to live in this world. If it were not for Wu Ning¡¯s protection, his mother would have been swallowed by the ghosts long ago. Fire flashed in Wu Ning¡¯s eyes. Soon, the ghosts were repelled, and the dark clouds that followed returned to the horizon. Wu Ning¡¯s mother came to inform him that it was time for dinner. Wu Ning came back to his senses and returned to the dining room. Just like that, another three years passed. Wu Ning still did not find a way to gain Comprehension Points. On this day, Wu Ning repelled the ghosts again. Looking at the dark clouds that retreated to the horizon, Wu Ning had a sudden idea. He really wanted to chase after the dark clouds and see what was behind them. Therefore, after dinner that night, Wu Ning told his mother that he was going on a long trip. Wu Ning¡¯s mother only glanced at him and did not say anything. After dinner, she quietly began to pack up Wu Ning¡¯s luggage. Wu Ning did not stop his mother. Although he did not need those things, it was a mother¡¯s love for her child. Wu Ning just sat there and quietly watched his mother going about. The next morning, Wu Ning set off. On the way, he chased the dark clouds and killed ghosts while searching for resources in this world. In the evening, Wu Ning killed another wave of ghosts. Looking at the retreating dark clouds, Wu Ning felt that the ghosts this time were much stronger than the previous places. It seemed that he was not far from the lair of the dark clouds. However, Wu Ning was not in a hurry. He had plenty of time, so he first found a shabby temple to sleep in. When he walked into the shabby temple, the most eye-catching thing was the Dark Buddha. Wu Ning frowned as he looked at the Dark Buddha. Generally speaking, the Buddha that was worshipped in the temple was the Tathagata Buddha. At the very least, it was Guan Gong or some other kind of deity. However, the Buddha that was worshipped in this temple was the Dark Buddha instead. Wu Ning could not fathom why. Well, he wasn¡¯t going to waste his energy in figuring it out. Wu Ning shook his head, picked out a slightly cleaner place, cleaned it up, and went to sleep. Wu Ning did not sleep for long before the Dark Buddha started to move. The corners of Wu Ning¡¯s mouth curled up, but he did not open his eyes. Finally, the being that was the Dark Buddha started to move. It walked up to Wu Ning and started sizing him up. Wu Ning suddenly opened his eyes and jumped at the being. Wu Ning immediately used the Crimson Sun Flame to weave a huge net to control that being. The cultivation of the being was probably not high. It did not even have time to dodge before it was covered by the net woven by the Crimson Sun Flame. Wu Ning looked at the thing. It looked a little familiar, but he could not remember where she had seen it before. At this moment, the thing said, ¡°Wu Ning, spare me. I didn¡¯t mean to disturb your sleep.¡± Wu Ning was puzzled. This thing actually recognized him. He reached out and removed the cloak on the thing. What appeared under the cloak was not the ghost that Wu Ning imagined, but a fair and clean little girl. This girl was none other than Yi Baiqing. Wu Ning asked her, ¡°Why are you here?¡± Yi Baiqing was covered by the Crimson Sun Flame net and did not dare to move. She could only answer honestly, ¡°I was forced to release those ghosts here.¡± ¡°Forced? What is going on? Why did you release those ghosts?¡± Wu Ning asked in confusion. ¡°I don¡¯t know either. I was caught not long after I arrived in this Otherworld. Then, I was sent here to collect the ghosts of people who had just died. I put these ghosts into the Dark Buddha and corrupted them to increase their power. Then, I let them go out to harm people. As for why the people who captured me did this, I don¡¯t know either,¡± Yi Baiqing said, feeling wronged. Seeing that she wasn¡¯t lying, Wu Ning dismissed Crimson Sun Flame net with a wave of his hand. Yi Baiqing immediately knelt after obtaining her freedom. ¡°Wu Ning, I hope to become your servant and serve you for the rest of my life. I hope that you can give me a chance.¡± Wu Ning did not know what to say. Why did good girls always want to be his servant? Wu Ning shook his head and refused, Yi Baiqing continued, ¡°You won¡¯t lose out if you take me as your servant. When we get out, you can order my people around. Besides, didn¡¯t you investigate the Dark Buddha earlier? I can be your insider and help you find out the truth about the Dark Buddha.¡± Wu Ning stroked his chin. It was not impossible to take Yi Baiqing as a servant. Although the Yi family was nothing to him, it was better to have a subordinate than nothing. Furthermore, Wu Ning¡¯s business experience in his previous life had taught him the importance of a team. Wu Ning was thinking about whether he should establish a sect as well. This way, he would not have to do anything all by himself. Furthermore, he would have a bodyguard following him when he went out. However, this matter had to be discussed after he got out. For now, it was better to settle the problem in front of him. Wu Ning glanced at her and asked, ¡°Yi Baiqing, why do you want to be my servant?¡± Yi Baiqing¡¯s face was filled with bitterness. ¡°I used to be the glory of our family. In the eyes of the other young talents, I was the goddess of ice and snow. But after entering the teleportation array, I was nothing.¡± ¡°Especially this time. Not long after I descended, I was captured by them to work for them. If they succeed, I¡¯m afraid that they will take advantage us, the weaker descenders, even more. In the end, they will even rob us of our treasures.¡± As she said this, she let out a deep sigh. ¡°The teleportation array was even crueler than I imagined it to be, so I¡¯d rather be your servant and serve you for the rest of my life.¡± Wu Ning¡¯s expression was indifferent. ¡°Become my servant, and everything about you will be under my control. You won¡¯t have any freedom, and everything you gain from the teleportation array will be completely mine. You¡­ have to think this through carefully.¡± It was already very outstanding for Yi Baiqing to receive an A grade evaluation in the first descent. Even though they had clashed during their previous descent, if the other party was really willing to become a servant, Wu Ning would still be very willing to accept it. A servant meant the loyalty of the soul and could never be betrayed. Of course, after giving up their freedom, the servant would also gain a lot. If Wu Ning was willing, she could accompany him to the other world. Yi Baiqing did not hesitate. She knelt at Wu Ning¡¯s feet and said, ¡°I am willing to be your servant.¡± Wu Ning smiled in satisfaction.. Chapter 14 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Yi Baiqing took the initiative to hand over her soul nameplate. Wu Ning took the nameplate and integrated it into his soul. In an instant, he felt that his soul and Yi Baiqing¡¯s link. Now, as long as he willed it, he could directly destroy Yi Baiqing from the soul level with just his thought. ¡°How come your Nine Level Soul Palace has only been cultivated to Rank 3 Level 1?¡± Wu Ning asked with a frown. As Yi Baiqing had already become his servant, there were no secrets between them. Yi Baiqing said awkwardly, ¡°Master, all of my treasure points have been used to purchase the pass to descend to the Otherworld.¡± Wu Ning asked, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you haven¡¯t joined any sect?¡± With Yi Baiqing¡¯s talent, it was more than enough to join a sect. It was free if it was her first time joining. At most, she¡¯d just have to top up with a few treasure points. ¡°No.¡± Yi Baiqing shook her head. ¡°I only got an A grade evaluation, so I could only join a sect in the Green City region. I wanted to give it a shot, but I didn¡¯t expect to be captured by them not long after I descended.¡± Wu Ning understood. Yi Baiqing was very ambitious so she was not willing to join a tiny sect. She wanted to get an A grade rating the second time she descended and join a better sect instead. However, she did not have many Comprehension Points right now. He could not buy pills like the Soul Nurturing Dragon Pill to help her improve. He could only wait until he left the Otherworld. ¡°Next time, you will descend with me.¡± It was just a simple sentence, but it made Yi Baiqing extremely excited. ¡°Thank you, Master!¡± Wu Ning waved his hand. A servant descending with him only required one-tenth of treasure points. If Wu Ning did not use the free descending quota, it would require three million treasure points to purchase the qualification to descend for the third time, while Yi Baiqing descending with him only required 300,000 points. However, as Yi Baiqing descended with him, everything she had in the teleportation array would belong to Wu Ning. The treasure points she obtained would also lose ten times the teleportation array¡¯s reward. The teleportation array did this to prevent more people from becoming servants. Wu Ning told Yi Baiqing to remain vigilant and help him gather information. ¡°It¡¯s already late today. I want to rest here for the night.¡± However, Yi Baiqing seemed to understand it differently. Yi Baiqing blushed, her face turning bright red all the way to her neck. ¡°Okay, okay. I¡¯ll go warm your bed now.¡± Wu Ning facepalmed. What was going on? How did prominent families train their people? How did a good child become like this? Wu Ning said weakly, ¡°There¡¯s no need to. You should get some rest. I¡¯ll just find a place to sleep.¡± Yi Baiqing¡¯s face, which was already red to the neck, turned even redder. What had she just said?! Wu Ning just wanted to sleep. What was she thinking? ¡°Oh, oh, okay. Please get some rest then.¡± As she said that, she left the dilapidated temple and held her face. How could she have assumed his intentions? After Yi Baiqing left, Wu Ning remained in his previous spot. When he woke up, he saw that Yi Baiqing had already started a fire and was roasting something. Yi Baiqing had also noticed that Wu Ning had woken up. ¡°You¡¯re awake. I hunted a rabbit and it¡¯s almost done roasting. Come and eat quickly. I even picked some wild fruits.¡± As she said that, she handed two wild fruits to Wu Ning. Wu Ning took the wild fruits and took a bite. It was rather sweet. ¡°I¡¯ll leave in a while. You continue to stand guard here. If there¡¯s anything, look for me with the formation mark.¡± After Yi Baiqing¡¯s ups and downs yesterday, the two of them had added each other as friends with the formation mark. As long as the other party¡¯s aura was recorded in the formation mark, the other party would be able to contact Wu Ning through the formation mark. Yi Baiqing nodded obediently. Then, she handed the roasted wild rabbit to Wu Ning. Wu Ning took it, tore half of it, and handed the rest back to Yi Baiqing. Just like that, the two of them started eating breakfast. While Yi Baiqing was eating the wild rabbit, she would glance at Wu Ning from time to time. Wu Ning, on the other hand, acted as if there was no one else around and calmly ate breakfast. After finishing his breakfast, Wu Ning continued his journey. Not long after, Wu Ning discovered the second Dark Buddha at the second location. In order to test out his thoughts, Wu Ning decisively broke the Dark Buddha into pieces. Some of the descenders who saw this and tried to stop him were all killed by Wu Ning one by one, ending their descent ahead of time. ¡°Ding! Master has destroyed the Dark Buddha and saved millions of people from fire and water. Obtained 10,000 comprehension points.¡± After so many years, Wu Ning finally heard the robotic voice of the system again. He became excited. Since he could gain Comprehension Points by destroying the Dark Buddhas, Wu Ning began to search all over the world for them. As long as he could gain comprehension points, no matter who laid down these Dark Buddhas, they had to be destroyed. In the process of searching for the Dark Buddhas, Wu Ning found that the speed of this world¡¯s decline had been accelerating. This rate of decline was obviously abnormal. It must be the work of the people behind the Dark Buddhas. Wu Ning came to an ancient temple and found hundreds of young girls kneeling on the ground, worshipping a strange Dark Buddha statue with a smile. Wu Ning thought that he had to speed up the destruction of these Dark Buddha statues. Otherwise, looking at the rate of spreading, the decline was extremely normal. However, once this world had declined, it would be difficult for him to obtain a high evaluation. Wu Ning stood by the ancient temple and waited. After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, hundreds of young girls stood up one after another. The youth sitting cross-legged on the futon in the lead was also the strongest descender, his tone was cold. ¡°Ten years. I¡¯ll give you ten years. No matter what method you use, you have to destroy this Otherworld¡¯s era and make the Yin spirit completely become the master of this world!¡± As soon as his voice fell, everyone left. Wu Ning didn¡¯t make a move. He still hadn¡¯t figured out the purpose of this descender. However, no matter what the purpose of the descender was, the most important thing was the Dark Buddhas. As long as he destroyed all of them, his plan wouldn¡¯t be able to be realized. As the Dark Buddhas were destroyed one by one, Wu Ning¡¯s Comprehension Points were more than 130,000. The organization that laid down the Dark Buddhas also discovered Wu Ning. At first, they sent people to recruit Wu Ning, but Wu Ning killed all the envoys they had sent to recruit. When the Dark Buddhas group saw that they couldn¡¯t recruit Wu Ning, they directly launched their killing moves, but they were all killed by Wu Ning. As Wu Ning killed more and more people, the Dark Buddha group began losing people, so they promoted Yi Baiqing. At this point, Wu Ning finally knew their true purpose. The leader of the Dark Buddhas was also a descender, and he had once descended to the Otherworld. At that time, he had paid a huge price to leave a Dark Buddha as a hidden weapon¡­ to push the Otherworld into the era of ghosts and monsters. Once he succeeded, the Otherworld would undergo great changes. Not only would he be able to receive feedback, but he would also be able to receive an extremely high evaluation. Only then did Wu Ning come to a sudden realization. However, he randomly thought that it would be extremely difficult to push the Otherworld into a great change. No wonder he felt that the growth of the demons and monsters in the Otherworld was getting faster and faster. Indeed, there was a descender behind the scenes. Yi Baiqing reminded him, ¡°Master, you have to be careful. That Dark Buddha has already merged with this world and is very powerful. It is said that he will soon reach the pure Yang realm. Moreover, he has established many branches and is hiding in countless temples and ancient temples.¡± Wu Ning¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Are you saying that there are still many Dark Buddha statues in this era?¡± ¡°Ah, yes, there are still many. That treasure, the Dark Buddha, has been in the other world for four to five hundred years and has nurtured countless believers. They¡¯ve created many Buddha statues.¡± Wu Ning smiled. The more Buddha statues there were, the better. Therefore, in the next five years, Wu Ning had trampled all the temples in every corner of the era and destroyed them all.. Chapter 15 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation During these five years, Wu Ning not only destroyed all the Dark Buddha statues but also plundered all the resources in this Otherworld. However, the gains during these five years were not small. Wu Ning had gained a total of 3.7 million Comprehension Points. With so many Comprehension Points, it was enough for him to upgrade the Nine Level Soul Palace to Level 7. Now that he had destroyed all the Dark Buddha statues, the descender who had laid out the plan was now expected to come and fight him. Wu Ning returned to his hometown and quietly waited for the person to come and look for him. However, Wu Ning had stayed with his mother in his hometown for three years, but that person did not come to look for him to settle the score. This puzzled Wu Ning greatly, but he still stayed at home to accompany his mother. The resources in this world had already been plundered by Wu Ning when he visited every corner of the dynasty. He had already obtained enough Comprehension Points and Treasure Points. Now, he spent every day at home with his old mother, occasionally drawing and teaching other children to read. As for laws, it was completely up to fate. Even if Wu Ning¡¯s soul power was strong enough, fate had not arrived yet. He was powerless to comprehend Laws. On this day, Wu Ning sat under the peach tree and looked at the tree. When the wind blew, the leaves fell with a whoosh. Not long ago, it was full of peach blossoms. Now, it was only a patch of jade green. After a period of time, it would bear fruit. Life seemed to go through cycles like this. Just like this peach tree, when it was born, it was a baby, just like the peach blossoms. Later, when it grew up, it corresponded to the green leaves of the peach tree, after that, it was time to bear fruit. Men and women married each other to give birth to a cute baby. When the peach matured, the child would also grow up. The peach tree would enter the period of withering in the cold winter. When the child grew up, the person would also become an old man. Wu Ning seemed to understand something, but there was a layer of fog covering it, so he could not see clearly. However, Wu Ning was not in a hurry. Since he already had an idea, it was not far from where he would comprehend the laws. In the blink of an eye, another ten winters passed. In Green City, there were a few children sitting in the courtyard of Wu Ning¡¯s house. They were shaking their heads and reading a book. Wu Ning stood at the side with a book in his hand and smiled at them. Looking at this scene, Wu Ning¡¯s expression was calm. It was as if there was a glimmer of understanding in his mind. Thus, after twenty-five years in the Otherworld, there was an ascetic monk who walked the world in the imperial court. This ascetic monk was Wu Ning. He had seen all the suffering in the world. During this time, he had seen the famine of changing children and eating, the absurdity of worshiping ghosts and monsters, and the Buddhist temples that devoured traveling merchants. Some people died, while others were born. Wu Ning was like a passing guest, witnessing the chaotic world of demons and the destruction of empires. Another forty-five years had passed. Wu Ning had witnessed many newborns who had just arrived in this world, as well as many old people who had died after reaching the end of their lives. However, there was still a layer of fog floating in his mind. No matter how hard he tried, it could not be blown away. Under the Dark Buddha statue in an ancient temple, hundreds of descenders gathered. The youth who was the leader back then was now a middle-aged man. He was dressed in a black robe and wore a Buddha mask. His eyes were still as cold as ice. ¡°The Dark Buddha is just moments away from breaking the limits of this world¡ªTrue Yang realm. Bring me to Mara City tomorrow. You can leave on your own and search for the resources of this world.¡± All the descenders present let out a sigh of relief. The reason why they were willing to stay in the Otherworld was for the sake of resources and evaluation. After all, the opportunity to descend into this world was very precious. *** At Mara City¡­ With the arrival of demons and monsters, all the refugees gathered around Wu Ning¡¯s home. Panic was spreading. This city was the only place that was considered safe in the entire dynasty. Everybody from the thirty-six states of the dynasty had gathered here. There were people everywhere in Mara City. The only place that was relatively spacious was Wu Ning¡¯s courtyard. Wu Ning¡¯s mother sat under the peach tree and looked at the peach tree quietly. There was not a trace of panic in her heart. She knew that her son would definitely come back. The atmosphere outside Mara City was as if dark clouds were pressing down on the city. Thick bolts of lightning flashed in the dark clouds from time to time. The deafening thunder intensified the panic in everyone¡¯s hearts. The torrential rain began to pour, and a figure appeared on the road not far away. It was Wu Ning. After twenty-five years, he had finally returned. Looking at the refugees surrounding his door, there was only despair and fear in his eyes. Wu Ning did not say a word. Wu Ning walked in the direction of his home and walked into the small courtyard where he had lived for more than twenty years. His mother stood under the peach tree and smiled at him, looking very peaceful. Wu Ning helped his mother out and looked at the myriad of living beings. A yin-yang diagram slowly appeared under his feet and slowly enlarged. It was the eight trigrams Taiji diagram. Wu Ning raised his hand and looked at the formation mark. [Activating Formation Mark] [Name: Wu Ning] [Status: Void Training True Yang Stage (limit of the Otherworld)] [Attribute: Omniscience] [Laws: Fire (Domain), Water (Domain), Ice (Meaning), Reincarnation (Meaning)] [Treasure: None] [Basic Cultivation Method: Rank 6 Level 7 Soul Palace] [Cultivation method: Tiger Hall Technique, All-Life Technique, Crimson Sun Flame Scripture (Perfect)] [Evaluation: SSS Divine tier] [Reward: x2 Chance to descend] [Treasure points: 28 million] A few decades ago, Wu Ning had used three million Comprehension Points to exchange for three Dragon Bone Purple Pills, raising his Soul Palace to Rank 6. It was also because of the strengthening of his soul that he was able to comprehend the law of reincarnation so quickly. The eight trigrams and Taiji patterns under his feet gradually extended to the entire Mara City. Wu Ning turned around and returned to the courtyard. He picked up a brush and began to draw. What he drew was a huge yin-yang diagram. Beside the yin-yang diagram was a diagram of the cycle of human birth, aging, illness, and death. Outside Mara City, hundreds of descenders looked at the interior of Mara City. They were all extremely shocked. ¡°What a pity. It should be an expert who has descended more than ten times. If he had acted in advance, the outcome might have been different.¡± All the descenders sighed. Wu Ning threw the yin-yang diagram that he had drawn into the air. The entire painting began to expand crazily. In just an instant, it covered the entire sky of the dynasty. At this moment, the wind had disappeared, the rain had stopped, the black clouds had dispersed, and the sunlight shone on the earth again. Countless ghosts screamed miserably, and the black fog was directly burned into ashes. The eyes of the dark descender revealed an incredulous expression, and he roared crazily, ¡°Impossible, this is impossible. I¡¯ve painstakingly set it up for dozens of years, and I absolutely won¡¯t allow it to be destroyed.¡± The spiritual energy in his body surged crazily as he controlled the Dark Buddha statue. The black clouds once again descended upon Mara City. Wu Ning immediately used the Laws of Ice to freeze the Dark Buddha statue and then smashed it into pieces with one smack of his palm. This time, the black clouds in the sky dissipated, once and for all. Wu Ning strolled to the front of the leader and the Taiji yin-yang diagram slowly appeared under his feet, enveloping the leader within. ¡°What law is this?¡± The leader was extremely shocked in the Taiji diagram. He felt as if he had been frozen by this law¡­ ¡­ No, it wasn¡¯t that he had been frozen. It was that this void had been frozen by the other party¡¯s law, and he had already become the other party¡¯s flesh and blood. With a thought from Wu Ning, the Taiji diagram began to draw away the spiritual energy of the world in the space where the leader was located. The spiritual energy of the world had been sucked dry. The law that the leader used had disappeared. Wu Ning saw the Yin and Yang Qi in the leader¡¯s body and wondered if a person would die if the Yin or Yang Qi in the body was extracted. Wu Ning began to control the Taiji diagram. The Taiji diagram represented the black side of Yin. It emitted a black devouring power and began to devour the Yin Qi in the leader¡¯s body. The Yin Qi in the leader¡¯s body was extracted, and the Yang Qi in his body immediately lost its control. It began to run amok in his body, wantonly destroying the vitality of the human body¡¯s internal organs. In just a moment, the leader lost his breath.. Chapter 16 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The descenders who had gathered after the leader¡¯s death had all dispersed. Wu Ning had no intention of pursuing them. All the people had smiles on their faces as they shouted. ¡°Our savior!¡± ¡°Our savior!!!¡± ¡°Our savior!!!¡± Wu Ning wasn¡¯t too excited. He just told everyone to return to their homes. Now that the demons had dispersed, they could return to their hometowns and rebuild their homes. The development of this world would only become better in the future. Wu Ning returned to the yard. His mother was still standing under the peach tree waiting for him. ¡°You¡¯re back. I¡¯m cooking for you.¡± Wu Ning smiled and nodded. Then, he sat at the table and waited for his mother to finish cooking. Looking at his mother¡¯s busy figure in the kitchen, Wu Ning felt an unprecedented peace in his heart. Wu Ning stretched his back. He had been in this Otherworld for sixty-five years, and there were still thirty-five years left. In these thirty-five years, he planned to take his mother on a tour of the world¡¯s beautiful scenery. When his mother left, he could almost end his descent. The resources in this world had already been searched by him, so there was no point in continuing to take them. Wu Ning had seen much beautiful scenery when he was an ascetic monk, and now he was taking his mother on a tour. Wu Ning had exchanged many life-prolonging treasures for his mother, so his mother could still walk like a youngster. It was another thirteen years of winter and summer. The new dynasty was becoming more and more prosperous. The population was flourishing, but the Taoist skills were gradually declining. The matter of the savior of mankind defeating millions of demons and killing the Dark Buddha had become history, and it had faded away with the wind. In the small courtyard. Wu Ning stood in front of his mother¡¯s grave. Although Wu Ning had exchanged many natural treasures for his mother that could prolong her life, she still gradually passed. In the end, she lived for seventy-eight years. ¡°Mother, the biggest regret in your life should be that I didn¡¯t get a wife and have children, right?¡± ¡°Actually, it¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to get a wife and have children. It¡¯s just that I haven¡¯t met anyone I like yet.¡± ¡°Even though this is just an alternate world to me, it¡¯s only been a day since I returned to the real world.¡± ¡°But I still don¡¯t want to be married and have children when I meet someone I like.¡± ¡°My parents who came to the alternate world the last time should have the same kind of regret, but you didn¡¯t rush me. I¡¯m really grateful that you became my mother for the rest of my life.¡± ¡°It made me understand what family is like. I¡¯m really grateful.¡± After burying his mother, Wu Ning went to the kitchen and cooked a meal for himself. After this meal, Wu Ning was about to return to the real world. The original consciousness of this world might have sensed that Wu Ning was about to leave, so it sent down its reward. Wu Ning raised his hand and looked at the reincarnation array. [Activating Formation Mark] [Name: Wu Ning] [Realm: Void Training, Yang Stage (Beyond Limit)] [Attribute: Omniscience] [Law: Fire (Domain), Water (Domain), Ice (Meaning), Reincarnation (Meaning)] [Treasure: None] [Basic Cultivation Method: Level 7 Soul Palace] [Cultivation Method: Tiger Hall technique, All-life Technique, Crimson Sun Flame Scripture (Perfect)] [Evaluation: SSS Divine tier] [Reward: x2 chance to descend] [Treasure Points: 38 million] After descending to the Otherworld for 78 years, Wu Ning, who had received feedback from the masters of the world, had finally surpassed the limits of this world. Apart from that, his Soul Palace had also been upgraded to Rank 7, Level 7 Soul Palace. If outsiders were to find out that Wu Ning had only descended twice before breaking through to Level 7, those sects would probably want Wu Ning to join them even if they had to go bankrupt. It was very easy to upgrade one¡¯s realm. All one needed to do was to consume a pill. However, the improvement of one¡¯s soul was as difficult as ascending to the heavens. To build a level of soul palace, the amount of treasure points required were astronomical. Even those ancient reclusive families would not be able to fork out so many treasure points for a junior to upgrade his Soul Palace. Wu Ning felt that his soul could already allow him to cultivate some soul attack techniques. Previously, he had bought five Divine Spirit Pills worth 600,000 and still had 730,000 comprehension points left. ¡®I should be able to exchange for a better soul attack technique,¡¯ Wu Ning thought as he opened the system store. However, Wu Ning searched the entire store but could not find the technique he liked. Wu Ning was a little discouraged and simply asked the system, ¡°System, do you have any good techniques that are suitable for my soul attack technique?¡± ¡°I recommend master to exchange for this God Slaying Technique,¡± the system¡¯s mechanical voice rang. Wu Ning¡¯s eyes widened. A recommendation did arrive. At that time, he was just a little discouraged and asked casually. He did not expect the system to answer him at all. Wu Ning looked at the God Slaying Technique. There was only one line of introduction on it: Soul Slaying. Wu Ning did not hesitate and spent 500,000 Comprehension Points to exchange for it. He quickly started cultivating. Unlike cultivation techniques, soul techniques would not disappear in the real world if they were cultivated in a different world. Soul techniques would not disappear even if they were returned to the real world. With his powerful soul comprehension ability, Wu Ning only used two years to cultivate the God-Slaying Technique to Level 7, and his whole body was covered in purple. Wu Ning opened his eyes and saw that his eyes were like lightning, emitting a powerful purple light and striking toward the sky. Wu Ning looked at the lightning-like soul attack and smiled with satisfaction. With the God-Slaying Technique, unless one¡¯s cultivation had reached Saint Realm, being attacked by the God-Slaying Technique was like someone holding a small knife cutting his own Soul Palace. If one¡¯s soul was slightly weaker, the Soul Palace would be turned into dust by Wu Ning¡¯s God-Slaying Technique, and they wouldn¡¯t even have the chance to possess him. With the God-Slaying Technique, it could be said that he was untouchable by those beneath Saint Realm. Wu Ning looked inside the Soul Palace. The black-clothed man was sitting on the seventh floor of the Soul Palace, and his body was surrounded by purple. It should be because of the God-Slaying Technique, Wu Ning thought. But why was the black-clothed man surrounded by purple when he cultivated the God-Slaying Technique? Who exactly was this black-clothed man, and why was he in the Soul Palace where he cultivated? Wu Ning¡¯s mind was filled with hundreds of questions, but no one could answer them. Forget it, as long as he didn¡¯t harm him, it was fine. Anyway, there was nothing he could do now. In the future, he would think of ways to understand who exactly this black-clothed man was. Wu Ning thought in his heart and then withdrew from the inner vision. This time, he had accumulated more than ten million points in this world. ¡°There¡¯s still twenty years left¡­¡± Wu Ning said in a low voice. Descenders below Saint Realm could only stay in the Otherworld for 100 years. Those above Saint Realm could stay in the Otherworld for an additional 50 years. Those at Saint Realm could stay for another 100 years, and those at Saint King Realm could stay for another 200 years. As for Deity Realm, there was only one person who had cultivated to Deity Realm in the entire origin continent. He could stay in the Otherworld for 500 years. In other words, the more powerful one was, the more they could flourish in the Otherworld. They could reach their own limits like Wu Ning. However, it was extremely difficult to break the restriction of the Otherworld¡¯s rules. Only those with extraordinary comprehension and great willpower could do it. The restriction of the laws of the Otherworld was extremely powerful unless it was an existence beyond Deity Realm¡­ The main reason why Wu Ning could reverse the trend of darkness with a reincarnation scroll was that he had comprehended the law of reincarnation. The law of reincarnation was the supreme law. Only those who had been acknowledged by the supreme law could comprehend it. Most people in the origin continent had only comprehended 3,000 ordinary laws. Very few people could comprehend the supreme law. People like Wu Ning who cultivated many laws at the same time were even less than one in ten thousand. ¡°It¡¯s time to leave!¡± Wu Ning¡¯s accumulation had been completely perfected. It was meaningless to continue staying in the Otherworld. Wu Ning came to his mother¡¯s grave. Before he left, he wanted to see his mother again. At this moment, Yi Baiqing also walked over. The two of them had white hair and a youthful face. ¡°I wonder how many people in this world still remember your title as the ¡®savior¡¯.¡± Wu Ning¡¯s expression was calm. ¡°Why are you here?¡± After the battle at Mara City, the other descenders had all ended their descent ahead of time. They were afraid that Wu Ning would seek revenge on them later. Only Yi Baiqing stayed on, not leaving. Yi Baiqing did not reply. Wu Ning had exchanged five bottles of Divine Soul Dragon Liquid for Yi Baiqing in the system store. No matter what, Yi Baiqing was now his servant, so he had to help her upgrade. ¡°There are still twenty years left. You can continue to cultivate in the other world after upgrading your Nine Level Soul Palace,¡± Wu Ning said. ¡°Yes, Master. You want to leave early?¡± Yi Baiqing asked. ¡°Yes, my accumulation has reached the limit,¡± Wu Ning nodded and said. Yi Baiqing was extremely envious. She could not help but ask, ¡°Master, may I take the liberty to ask what level your Soul Palace has reached?¡± ¡°Level 7,¡± after saying that, Wu Ning¡¯s figure disappeared, leaving behind a petrified Yi Baiqing. ¡®How terrifying. He actually reached Level 7. I¡¯ve only reached Level 3 after consuming five bottles of Divine Soul Dragon Liquid.¡¯. Yi Baiqing screamed in her heart. However, Wu Ning could no longer hear her as he had already returned to the real world. Chapter 17 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Inside the teleportation array, white light circulated, and Wu Ning¡¯s consciousness returned. The other descenders also woke up. Everyone raised their hands to look at their own array. [Activating Formation Mark] [Name: Wu Ning] [Realm: Void Training Stage] [Attribute: Omniscience] [Law: Fire (Domain), Water (Domain), Ice (Meaning), Reincarnation (Meaning)] [Treasure: None] [Basic Cultivation Technique: Level 7 Soul Palace] [Cultivation Technique: Tiger Hall Technique, All-life Technique, God Slaying Technique] [Evaluation: SSS Divine-tier] [Reward: x2 chance to descend] [Treasure Points: 56 million] All the cultivation technique realms in a world disappeared and turned into treasure points. This time, he had gained a total of 17 million treasure points, and that did not include the resources he had gained in the Otherworld. Wu Ning could not help but smile. He had only descended for the second time, and he had already accumulated more than 56 million treasure points. His accumulation speed was far faster than the other descenders. ¡°This time, I¡¯ve gained quite a lot. I¡¯ve accumulated more than 10 million treasure points.¡± ¡°7 million treasure points? My luck isn¡¯t too good this time. I met someone who set up a trap, and I only managed to accumulate 300,000 treasure points.¡± ¡°I only managed to accumulate one hundred thousand treasure points this time.¡± ¡°Then you won¡¯t be able to do it. You only managed to accumulate one hundred thousand treasure points.¡± Everyone was conversing in low voices. Some of them were still sizing up Wu Ning from the corner of their eyes. One of the braver women came up and asked, ¡°Wu Ning, how many treasure points did you obtain during your second descent?¡± As soon as these words were said, everyone looked at Wu Ning with curiosity in their eyes. After all, Wu Ning had broken the rookie record during his first descent, and he was now an influential figure among the descenders. Many people were secretly guessing how many treasure points and what evaluation Wu Ning would receive on his second descent. Some gamblers even opened their bets. This woman was one of them. She bet that Wu Ning would receive more than ten million treasure points on this descent. They were all experienced people who knew the difficulty of the second descent. However, most people were betting that Wu Ning would not be able to receive an S grade evaluation. If Wu Ning knew that someone was betting, he would definitely bet all his treasure points on himself to get an S grade evaluation. Wu Ning smiled and shook his head. He appeared extremely mysterious, but the more mysterious he appeared, the more curious everyone became. Everyone wanted Wu Ning to tell them, but they were not related to Wu Ning, so why should they let him tell them? Thus, after discussing a few things, they went to discuss other things. At this moment, the reincarnation law sent down beams of white light, and the evaluation of the teleportation array began. The SSS divine grade evaluation was filled with white light beams, but the stronger the color, the higher the evaluation. The SSS divine grade evaluation was followed by red, orange, yellow, green, green, blue, and purple. Only when the SSS divine grade evaluation was above would the black and gold light beams descend, accompanied by the voice of primal chaos. The woman who asked Wu Ning just now was covered in an orange light beam, causing everyone to be envious. ¡°Wow, it¡¯s actually an S-rank legendary evaluation. This is too amazing!¡± ¡°You really can¡¯t judge a book by its cover. Look at her small size. She¡¯s cute. I didn¡¯t expect her to get an S-rank legendary evaluation.¡± ¡°If only I could get an S-rank legendary evaluation as well.¡± ¡°Forget it. You can¡¯t even get an A-rank evaluation.¡± Suddenly, someone looked at Wu Ning and said, ¡°Hmm, why doesn¡¯t he have an evaluation? Wait a minute, you, you, you can¡¯t¡­¡± Everyone turned to look at Wu Ning. Seeing that he wasn¡¯t covered by the rating light pillar, they couldn¡¯t help but curse. ¡°Impossible!¡± ¡°Wu Ning is too strong. He has an SSS rating again.¡± ¡°I¡¯m so jealous. I didn¡¯t even get an SSS rating, but he got an SSS rating the second time. God is really unfair!¡± ¡°Unfair? It¡¯s his ability to get an SSS rating. If you don¡¯t have the ability, don¡¯t blame God for being unfair.¡± The crowd exploded. They were not unlike the newbies like Kuang Chi, who did not know anything. Naturally, they knew what it meant to not get an SSS rating in the first place. Only a top rating could prolong the calculation time of the teleportation array and not get an SSS rating in the first place. Boom! While everyone was gasping in shock, another beam of light descended from the teleportation array. It was the same black-gold beam as last time. However, this time, the black-gold beam was even more intense, blinding a large number of people. ¡°Oh my god, this is the first time I¡¯ve seen a black-gold beam of light.¡± ¡°This time, the black-gold beam is even more intense than last time. Wu Ning has broken the record again.¡± ¡°Argh! The horn of primal chaos, I have not seen the horn of primal chaos at all.¡± Everyone was talking incoherently, as if the black pillar of light had descended upon them. The horn of primal chaos began to sing Wu Ning¡¯s reward. [Congratulations to descender Wu Ning for obtaining the SSS epic grade evaluation, breaking the record of the teleportation array, and obtaining four free descending quotas.] [Congratulations to the descender, Wu Ning¡­] [Congratulations to the descender, Wu Ning¡­] [Congratulations to the descender, Wu Ning¡­] [Congratulations to the descender, Wu Ning¡­] The voice of primal chaos said this five times, echoing in the transmission array. The countless descenders with Wu Ning were in an uproar. ¡°He broke a record, again?¡± ¡°This is the second time that Wu Ning has descended, right? He actually got an epic SSS rating again.¡± ¡°He broke the record for new arrivals the first time he descended, directly reaching the top of the rookie list. The second time he descended, he directly broke the highest record, directly reaching the top of the highest record. He is unbelievable.¡± ¡°Is he still human?!¡± ¡°How did he do it? I also want to break the record once and become famous in the teleportation array!¡± ¡°Could he be that ¡®savior¡¯ from the Otherworld?¡± ¡°It¡¯s him. It¡¯s definitely him. No wonder he reversed the trend of the world formed by the Dark Buddha descenders by himself. If it was more than ten descenders, they wouldn¡¯t be able to get an SSS rating. But he descended for the second time. I didn¡¯t expect him to be able to do it the second time.¡± Many descenders were completely dumbfounded. The record holder had always been a cultivator at the Saint King Realm. Today, it was actually broken by a rookie descender. It was simply too much for everyone to take in. Wu Ning didn¡¯t expect that he should be able to get an SSS rating, but he didn¡¯t expect to actually get an SSS epic rating. However, after thinking about it carefully, he had made a great contribution by drawing the reincarnation diagram and helping the Otherworld return to the path of righteousness, not being corrupted by the demonic ghosts. If it were not for him, not only would the tens of thousands of refugees be devoured by the demonic ghosts, even the Otherworld would fall into the Dark Abyss. Thus, he had indirectly saved the origin of that Otherworld, making a greater contribution than the development of the previous Otherworld. Presumably, that¡¯s why the portal gave the SSS epic rating. Chapter 18 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The news that Wu Ning had broken the highest record quickly swept through the entire human race. The higher-ups of the various sects all stomped their feet and thumped their chests. If they had known that Wu Ning was so powerful, they would have gone all out to recruit Wu Ning into their own sects! The sect masters of the four top-tier sects: Water Moon Tower, Liefeng Villa, and Yanyue Sect could not sit still any longer. They tore through the void and arrived outside the teleportation array that Wu Ning had descended into in the blink of an eye. Before they arrived, they gave the elder who had gone to recruit Wu Ning a fierce scolding. How could a bright diamond like Wu Ning wander outside? Even if they had to go all out, they had to recruit their own sect. The moment Wu Ning stepped out of the teleportation array, he saw the big shots standing outside with flattering smiles on their faces. Sensing that something was wrong, he raised his foot and wanted to leave, but was stopped by the three of them. The head of the Water Moon Tower, Shui Wuyue, could not help but say, ¡°Hehehe, Wu Ning, congratulations on breaking the highest record. You¡¯re really a young hero.¡± This caused the other two big shots of the Liefeng Villa and the Yanyue Sect to look down on him and roll their eyes at him one after another. Liefeng Villa¡¯s leader, Lie Huo, lived up to his name and had a fiery personality. ¡°Wu Ning, just say it. What would it take to have you join our sect?¡± Yue Wumian, the head of the Yanyue sect, also nodded. ¡°Wu Ning, just tell us what conditions you have. We will do our best to satisfy you.¡± Wu Ning was still unmoved. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I don¡¯t have any intention of joining any sect now.¡± The leader of the Water Moon Tower Sect said, ¡°If you don¡¯t have any now, then there will be others in the future. Then my Water Moon Tower will make a reservation first. Whenever you want to join our sect, we will be open for you at any time.¡± Wu Ning facepalmed. What kind of big shots were these? Shouldn¡¯t big shots be extremely cold and distant? At the very least, they should be emitting the aura of a big shot. How could there be such a shameless person? He didn¡¯t want to join now just to reject him. He even made a reservation. Why didn¡¯t he make an appointment? ¡°I don¡¯t want to join the sect because there are too many rules in your sects. It¡¯s too restrictive. I¡¯m used to being free by myself. I don¡¯t want to be restricted by rules,¡± Wu Ning said. The three big shots quickly said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. If you join our sect, as long as you don¡¯t kill people and start fires, of course, we also believe that you won¡¯t kill people and start fires. You can do whatever you want. No one will restrict you.¡± ¡°And our sect can also be your backing. If you¡¯re being hunted outside, you can go back to the sect to seek help and avoid being hunted.¡± ¡°Such good treatment, there should be some conditions, right?¡± The sect master of Yanyue Sect shook his head and said slowly, ¡°There are no requirements. I just hope that you will not forget that you were once a member of our sect when you have succeeded in your cultivation in the future.¡± Lie Huo also quickly said, ¡°Yes. Also, if you encounter fellow disciples who ask for help while you are training outside, you can lend them a hand.¡± Water Moon Tower was not willing to be outdone. ¡°We don¡¯t have any requirements for you. On the contrary, we hope that you can grow quickly.¡± Wu Ning was puzzled. They were already top-tier sects. Even if he succeeded in becoming a deity in the future, it would not be of much help to them. ¡°But there are three sects here. Which one should I join?¡± Wu Ning asked in return. This was a problem. There were three sects, but there was only one Wu Ning. He couldn¡¯t join all three sects, right? That wouldn¡¯t do. One person couldn¡¯t eat three meals. Lie Huo said, ¡°How about this? How about the three of us fight? Whoever wins, Wu Ning will join the sect. Is that okay?¡± Shui Wuyue and Yue Wumian both nodded. Although this method was rough, it was indeed a good method. Strength spoke. ¡°Wu Ning, wait for us here for a while. Let¡¯s go and have a fight. After the fight, I¡¯ll bring you back to Water Moon Tower,¡± Shui Wuyue said with a smile. Lie Huo could not help but retort, ¡°Pfft, what do you mean? The one who¡¯s bringing him back is me.¡± Yue Wumian shook his head when he saw them like this. ¡°What¡¯s the point of fighting? We¡¯ll find out who he¡¯ll go with when the winner is decided, right?¡± He took the lead and flew out to find an uninhabited place to fight. The three of them were all at Saint Realm. If they were to fight, it would definitely affect the surrounding area. Therefore, they had to find an uninhabited place. The surrounding crowd exploded again. ¡°Damn, the three top-tier sect masters are fighting over Wu Ning. Why don¡¯t I get this kind of treatment?¡± ¡°As long as you can break the record, you can also get such treatment.¡± ¡°This Wu Ning is out of the world. Even the top sects are fighting over him.¡± ¡°If I was as monstrous as Wu Ning, I would also want the three sect masters to fight before deciding which sect to join.¡± ¡°Forget it, how many times have you descended? You haven¡¯t even gotten an S rating yet, and you still want an SSS rating? Stop daydreaming.¡± After about half an hour, Yue Wumian flew over from afar. He did not see Liu Feng or Shui Wuyue. Wu Ning could not help but ask, ¡°Where are the other two sect leaders?¡± Yue Wumian smiled and said, ¡°Those two fellows were defeated by me. They said that they were too ashamed to come see you, so they left first.¡± ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll bring you back to the sect to take a look.¡± Wu Ning nodded and said yes. His things were all in his interspatial ring. There was nothing much to pack, so he directly followed Yue Wumian back to Yanyue Sect. After arriving at Yanyue Sect, Wu Ning found that there weren¡¯t any grand palaces or buildings that Wu Ning had imagined. There were also no floating islands with immortal qi floating in the air. There were only simple and unadorned wooden houses. Yue Wumian saw Wu Ning¡¯s expression and guessed what he was thinking, ¡°Although Yanyue Sect is the leader of the three top sects, our sect doesn¡¯t believe in extravagance and waste. Furthermore, we have the treasures to repair those buildings and palaces. We might as well exchange them for resources for our disciples to cultivate. As long as we can live here, we don¡¯t need to be extravagant.¡± Wu Ning nodded in agreement. Indeed, as long as it was habitable, it was fine. After all, he could live anywhere. ¡°Moreover, don¡¯t look at these ordinary small wooden houses. These small wooden houses are all surrounded by spirit gathering formations to gather spiritual energy all around us. It will allow you to cultivate better,¡± Yue Wumian continued. Wu Ning was astonished. There were spirit gathering formations in every residence. It was truly a huge expenditure. Yue Wumian said with a smile, ¡°These spirit gathering arrays were set up with the treasures used to repair the palaces and buildings.¡± ¡°Go and pick a residence first. I¡¯ll get someone to bring you to familiarize yourself with the sect.¡± Wu Ning nodded and picked a residence randomly. Then, Yue Wumian left. After Yue Wumian left, Wu Ning looked at the formation mark. [Activating Formation Mark] [Name: Wu Ning] [Status: Void Training Stage] [Attributes: Omniscience] [Laws: Fire (Domain), Water (Domain), Ice (Meaning), Reincarnation (Meaning)] [Treasure: God-Slaying Wings (Broken)] [Basic Cultivation Method: Rank 7, Level 7 Soul Palace] [Cultivation Method: Tiger Hall Technique, All-life Technique, God-slaying Technique] [Evaluation: SSS Divine-tier] [Reward: x 6 descending quotas] [Treasure points: 56 million] Chapter 19 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Previously, there were too many people in the teleportation array. Later, when Yue Wumian and the others came, they didn¡¯t have the time to look at it. This time, the teleportation array not only gave him an evaluation, a treasure point, and a free descending quota, but there was also a treasure, the God-slaying Wings. The reincarnation array directly sent the God-slaying Wings into his interspatial ring, but it didn¡¯t announce it. If it did, he would probably be hunted down by many in the future. There were many instances of people snatching treasures and killing people in this world. This teleportation formation was pretty good, and it was quite considerate of others. Wu Ning took out the God-slaying Wings and looked left and right. They looked extremely tattered, and it was missing a few feathers. He didn¡¯t know what was going on with this teleportation formation, but the first time it rewarded him with a treasure, it gave him such broken wings, he did not know what it could be used for. Moreover, he had not used any treasure before. When he came to this world, he would fight with his bare hands. Wu Ning held the God-slaying Wings and studied it for a long time. In the end, he remembered that in the fantasy novels that the main characters obtained treasures, they would drip blood to recognize their master. Wu Ning closed his fingers and made a sword-like cut on his finger. Soon, the blood dripped on the God-slaying Wings. A black-and-gold light flashed on the surface of the wings. Wu Ning finally felt the connection between him and the wings. With a thought, Wu Ning put the God-slaying Wings on his body. Wu Ning flapped his wings, and a strong gust of wind blew out, blowing away his small wooden house. Wu Ning was in shock. He was just trying out the God-slaying Wings. The power was too great. However, who had built this small wooden house? It was too dilapidated, and it was blown away in just one swing. Although Yanyue Sect was thrifty, he had expected them to use sturdy materials at the very least. However, the structure had fallen in just a blow. Was it made of tofu? Wu Ning held his forehead helplessly. The house he had just chosen was gone. He did not know if there were any other empty houses in Yanyue Sect. Otherwise, he would have to sleep on the streets today. It just so happened that Yue Wumian had called for Wu Ning to familiarize himself with the people from Yanyue Sect. If that person had not seen Wu Ning, he would have thought that he had gone to the wrong place. ¡°Junior Brother, what happened? Why did this house collapse?¡± When Wu Ning saw that someone had come, he kept the God-slaying Wings. ¡°Ah, I was cultivating just now. I accidentally used too much strength and it became like this.¡± ¡°Then it seems that your cultivation is pretty good. Let¡¯s spar some other day.¡± ¡°Sure,¡± Wu Ning agreed. That person continued, ¡°Oh right, I haven¡¯t introduced myself. My name is Fu Hongyun. I¡¯m a disciple of the third elder.¡± ¡°Hello, Senior Brother.¡± Wu Ning called him senior brother sincerely. Fu Hongyun could not help but laugh out loud. ¡°Hahaha, hello, Junior Brother. Let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll bring you to familiarize yourself with Yanyue Sect. It¡¯s noon now. I¡¯ll bring you to the canteen for lunch first.¡± Wu Ning followed Fu Hongyun to have lunch. Although it was just a simple bowl of white rice, it emitted a refreshing fragrance. Wu Ning picked up his chopsticks and took a bite. His pupils constricted, and his soul actually grew a little stronger. Wu Ning hurriedly looked at the formation mark. [Activating Formation Mark] [Name: Wu Ning] [Status: Void Training Stage] [Attributes: Omniscience] [Laws: Fire (Domain), Water (Domain), Ice (Meaning), Reincarnation(Meaning)] [Treasure: God-Slaying Wings (Broken)] [Basic Cultivation Method: Level 7 Rank 8 Soul Palace] [Cultivation Method: Tiger Hall Technique, All-life Technique, God-Slaying Technique] [Evaluation: SSS Divine tier] [Reward: x6 descending quotas] [Treasure Points: 56 million] Wu Ning was surprised that his Soul Palace had ranked up by one. He had to spend a huge amount of Comprehension Points to level up, but he did not expect to level up after just one mouthful of rice. If he ate it every day, he would be able to level up to Level 9 Soul Palace very quickly. ¡°This is rice made from the special source rice of the Otherworld. It will only have a super strong effect the first time you eat it. The second time, the effect will be very weak. However, this is a free benefit for the sect. You don¡¯t have to spend treasure points to buy it,¡± Fu Hongyun explained to Wu Ning. So that was it. No wonder. If just eating a mouthful of rice could improve one¡¯s soul, then no one would need to spend treasure points to descend to the Otherworld. All they needed to do was to accumulate treasure points to buy this rice. There was no need to spend so much effort to cultivate in the Otherworld and search for resources. After Wu Ning and Fu Hongyun finished their meal, they went to another place to wander around. The first place they went to was the scripture depository. ¡°This scripture depository has all kinds of cultivation techniques. As long as you have enough treasure points, you can exchange them. However, after you finish reading them, you must return the cultivation technique to the scripture depository. The cultivation technique can not be passed on to outsiders.¡± Wu Ning nodded. He could not pass on this cultivation technique to outsiders to understand. After all, if the cultivation technique that he had painstakingly obtained was leaked out, then Yanyue Sect would not need to establish a sect. Next was the treasure depository. There were pills, spirit herbs, and divine weapons in the treasure depository. As long as there were treasure points, he could exchange them for anything. Fu Hongyun brought Wu Ning to tour the entire Yanyue Sect, then went to visit the mountain peaks of the elders one by one. Yanyue sect looked big, but it was even bigger when they walked around. Fortunately, Wu Ning and Fu Hongyun were not ordinary people, or else the two of them would be exhausted after this tour. After walking around for a whole day, Wu Ning was really a little tired. When he returned to his residence, he remembered that the small wooden tofu house was blown away by the God-slaying Wings. Wu Ning could only go to Fu Hongyun¡¯s residence to ask if there were any vacant small wooden houses. Fu Hongyun slapped his head. ¡°I almost forgot. I was going to find you a place to stay after I brought you to familiarize yourself with Yanyue Sect.¡± ¡°Junior Brother, do you have any requirements for a place to stay?¡± Wu Ning thought for a moment and said, ¡°I don¡¯t really like places with many people. Is there a place that¡¯s quieter?¡± ¡°A quieter place. Let¡¯s see.¡± Fu Hongyun thought for a moment, ¡°There really is a quiet place. There aren¡¯t many people living there. They are all like you, people who like quiet. It¡¯s just that the location is a little off. It¡¯s not convenient to go in and out. If you can, I¡¯ll bring you there.¡± Wu Ning nodded. It didn¡¯t matter if it was a little off. As long as no one came to bother him, it was fine. Thus, Fu Hongyun brought Wu Ning to the quiet place that he mentioned. Wu Ning looked at this place and nodded in satisfaction. This place was indeed remote, but it was also peaceful. Looking at those small wooden houses, there were not many people living here. Seeing that Wu Ning was very satisfied with this place, Fu Hongyun left. Wu Ning looked around the small wooden house and casually tidied it up. Actually, there was nothing to tidy up. He would not be living here often in the future. He went to fetch a bucket of water, washed up, and went to sleep. When he woke up the next day, Wu Ning made a plan for what he was going to do next. He decided to go to the outer region battlefield first. Otherwise, it would be very troublesome if he didn¡¯t have actual combat experience despite his cultivation. Previously, the reason he was able to defeat those people was that his comprehension of the laws was higher than theirs. If he met a true expert, then he would die. Moreover, there would definitely be many experts in the Holy Land¡¯s tournament six years later.. If he did not stay vigilant, then he would very easily be eliminated. Chapter 20 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Wu Ning went to look for Yue Wumian and told him that he was going to the outer realm battlefield to train. ¡°No, with your current cultivation level, going to the outer realm battlefield is tantamount to courting death!¡± Yue Wumian said excitedly. Wu Ning retorted, ¡°But, Sect Master, I can¡¯t stay in the teleportation array to descend forever, right? If I don¡¯t have actual combat experience and am always learning in theory, then no matter how high my cultivation level is, what¡¯s the use?¡± Yue Wumian thought for a moment, ¡°You can go to the outer realm battlefield, but your cultivation level still needs to be raised. With your current cultivation level, it definitely won¡¯t do. You can go to the teleportation array and descend once more. No matter what, with your current cultivation level, I absolutely won¡¯t agree to it.¡± Wu Ning saw that Yue Wumian¡¯s attitude was very firm and knew that he was doing this for his own good. He could only nod his head and agree, deciding to descend once more the next day. In any case, he still had six more chances to descend for free. However, before he descended, he had to think of a way to raise his cultivation level. Although this world was a world of cultivation laws and did not place much importance on cultivation, Wu Ning still took one step at a time to raise his cultivation level, he did not consume any heavenly or earthly treasures to raise his cultivation level. He only consumed some supplementary pills, but his cultivation level still rose bit by bit. Wu Ning valued his cultivation level very much. Perhaps it was because he was influenced by the fantasy novels he had read in his previous life. No matter how powerful his cultivation of laws was, it would be a waste if he did not have the support of his cultivation level and spiritual power. Now that he was only at the refined void tier, it was indeed not enough for him to go to the outer realm battlefields. At the very least, he would have to break through to the Dao Dharma level. Wu Ning returned to his residence and began concentrating on increasing his cultivation level. In about half a month, no matter what Wu Ning did, he could not advance to the Dao Cultivation Realm. Wu Ning was very puzzled. He thought that it was because he was too impatient that he had not advanced yet. However, in the next half a month, Wu Ning had already adjusted to his peak condition, but he was still unable to breakthrough. Wu Ning was unable to do so. He could only ask Yue Wumian the reason to see if he knew. In the main hall of the sect¡­ Yue Wumian used his spiritual power to examine Wu Ning¡¯s entire body and did not find any problems. Wu Ning¡¯s condition was very healthy. Logically speaking, as long as he wanted to break through to the Dao Cultivation Realm, he could break through at any time. In order to confirm the exact reason, Yue Wumian called all the Yanyue Sect elders who did not go out to examine Wu Ning. The elders surrounded Wu Ning in the middle, and everyone used their spiritual power to scan Wu Ning. Wu Ning felt like he was standing in front of them without any clothes on, and they all saw him. But after a round, every elder shook their heads and did not find any problems. Yue Wumian was troubled. If there were no problems, then why couldn¡¯t he break through to Dao Cultivation Realm? Yue Wumian asked Wu Ning to cultivate on the spot for him to see if there were any problems with his cultivation method. Wu Ning had no choice but to sit cross-legged and start cultivating the All-life Technique. Yue Wumian and the other elders just watched Wu Ning cultivate, but they still couldn¡¯t find any problems. In the end, Yue Wumian asked the elders to go back first and then comforted Wu Ning. In this era, cultivation wasn¡¯t important, as long as the cultivation of the laws was high. Wu Ning nodded. Since he could not advance at the moment, he could only go to the teleportation array to descend to the Otherworld. As for whether or not he could advance, Wu Ning still hoped that he could continue to advance. Wu Ning Bade Yue Wumian farewell and returned to his residence. He planned to go to the teleportation array the next day. After all, time was limited, and he could not stay in the Yan Yue sect forever. The next day, when Wu Ning arrived at the teleportation array, it caused quite a stir again. ¡°How did this Wu Ning descend so quickly?¡± ¡°It¡¯s only been a few days.¡± ¡°It¡¯s over. I haven¡¯t earned enough treasure points yet. Looks like I won¡¯t be able to descend together with Wu Ning this time.¡± ¡°Sigh, it¡¯s the same for me. Forget it. Even if I descend on the same day, I might not be able to descend to the same Otherworld.¡± ¡°Last time, many people decided to descend at the same time as Wu Ning. This time, I don¡¯t think there will be too many people following him.¡± ¡°Wu Ning has a free descending quota for the teleportation array. He can descend whenever he wants. We are different. We can only slowly accumulate treasure points. When we have enough, we can descend once.¡± Within half an hour after receiving the news, many descended into the teleportation array, hoping to descend into the same foreign world as Wu Ning and receive a higher evaluation. Little did they know that descending into the same Otherworld as Wu Ning was the most unfortunate. Under Wu Ning¡¯s insanely powerful soul search, they could not obtain any resources. At the same time, in a remote mountain, under the waterfall of the cliff, there was a huge palace in the pool. The palace was completely black, and it was carved with small Buddha statues. Looking inside, the one sitting in the palace was the leader of the Dark Buddha, who had been killed by Wu Ning using the law of reincarnation and was forced to end his descent earlier. ¡°This time, you all will come together. You must destroy Wu Ning¡¯s SSS rating!¡± The leader of the Dark Buddha said coldly. The people under him left after receiving the order. They also had to come immediately. Otherwise, they would be too late. They didn¡¯t know when Wu Ning would come again. At this moment. The teleportation array was the same as the previous two descenders. A white light descended and enveloped everyone within. Everyone quickly lost consciousness. When Wu Ning regained consciousness again, he found himself in a magnificent house. Beside him, the madam, who was dressed elegantly, was holding a small rattle drum to tease Wu Ning, who was still a baby. She was singing, ¡°Little baby, I¡¯ll hold you¡­¡± The lady¡¯s voice was very gentle, making people feel relaxed. Wu Ning knew that the lady in front of him was the mother who had descended in this life. The love in her eyes came from the bottom of her heart. Wu Ning stretched and opened the system store to see if there were any cultivation techniques. Very quickly, he searched for the Non-Dragon Heart Technique. Cultivating the Non-Dragon Heart Technique could make someone become extraordinary. It could change someone¡¯s predetermined fate. Wu Ning bought it directly. Relying on the extremely powerful soul of the seven-layered Soul Palace, he cultivated the Non-Dragon Heart to Level 9 in just a short moment, reaching the top level of this world, the Divine Dragon Realm. Wu Ning¡¯s soul slowly extended out and covered the entire palace. In just a moment, the entire palace was in Wu Ning¡¯s eyes. Wu Ning saw that the place outside the palace had fallen into a battle. Many eunuchs and guards had been killed cruelly, and the palace maids had been dragged into the corridor by members of the rebel army to be raped. Only the palace where Wu Ning was at was safer, as the rebel army had not reached it for the time being. Outside the palace door, a group of eunuchs, palace maids, and guards were anxiously knocking on the door. ¡°Imperial Consort, please come out quickly. The rebel army has already entered the palace and will soon reach Qing He Palace.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, imperial consort, please quickly take the prince and escape. As long as you and the prince are still alive, there is still a glimmer of hope for the dynasty.¡± ¡°Imperial Consort, please come out quickly. I will definitely do my best to safely escort you and the little prince away.¡± However, the imperial consort in Qing He Palace seemed to not hear their words and continued to play with Wu Ning who was still a baby. Chapter 21 - Rebellion Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation She muttered under her breath, ¡°Be good, my son. Father is ending the battle soon. Once the rebellion is quashed, he¡¯ll return to spend time with you. ¡°You have to be a man soon, my son, then you¡¯ll be able to relieve his burden. See all the monotonous, daily tasks he has to do, it¡¯s so taxing he didn¡¯t even have time to spend with you. ¡°He¡¯s fighting gloriously on the battlefield now. He promised that he¡¯d return right after he defeats the rebels.¡± Wu Ning looked at his mother and knew that she didn¡¯t want to accept reality. Yet, it wasn¡¯t safe if they remained. Thus, Wu Ning¡¯s tiny hand gently flicked and a burst of energy flew out, heading straight for the doors. Crack! The door latch snapped, and the people outside quickly rushed in, wanting to take the imperial consort and the little prince away. The imperial consort struggled violently, reluctant to leave. One of the guards said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Your Highness. I¡¯ll seek atonement for my misgivings when we get to safety.¡± As he spoke, he hit the imperial consort in the back of her head with his hand. The imperial consort instantly passed out. He then carried the imperial consort on his back and hurried to the back of the palace, followed closely by a palace maid who was carrying the little prince. Before they came, the emperor had ordered for the imperial consort and her son to escape via a secret tunnel, if the situation turned awry. The secret tunnel was located right in the imperial consort¡¯s living quarters. Following what the emperor told them, they pushed the cabinet away, and immediately the entrance to the secret passage appeared. They hurried in. With the rebels closing in, there wasn¡¯t much time left. The last person to leave returned the cabinet to its original position as to not reveal their positions. This would help buy some crucial time for their escape. It took them around four hours to reach the end of the passage. There were plenty of junctions and crossroads in the passage, all to confuse any incoming enemies and slow their pursuit. Following the map given by the emperor, they reached the end of the passage soon enough. They opened the hatch and a guard hurriedly exited to check if the coast was clear. He realized they were now on the other side of the city walls and there was no sight of rebels. The guard hurriedly pulled the rest through the exit. Although the rebels were confused at first, it wouldn¡¯t be long until they realized the disappearance of the imperial consort and the little prince. Then, a mass search would commence. Therefore, it was of importance that the imperial consort and the little prince were hidden in a safe location. Their mission was to take care of the imperial consort and the little prince and ensure their safety. Over at the Imperial Palace, it wasn¡¯t long before the rebels discovered the secret passage. The leader of the rebels, King Yan, immediately ordered his men to start their pursuit. They were ordered to capture the imperial consort and the little prince, dead or alive. There were many rebel soldiers. Even with the numerous dead-ends, crossroads, and junctions in the secret passage, they manage to find the exit soon. The imperial consort woke up not long after exiting the secret passage. The guard knelt in front of her. ¡°I¡¯ve hurt you, Your Highness. Please punish me as you wish!¡± The imperial consort slowly shook her head. ¡°I don¡¯t blame you. I was momentarily blinded by my passion. Fortunately, you were there to rescue us, otherwise, I¡¯d be guilty of killing off the last bloodline of the emperor. How can I ever face His Majesty again?¡± ¡°It was only because you loved His Majesty and decided against leaving. However, with the kingdom in chaos, please take care of yourself and his little highness too.¡± The guard comforted. The imperial consort nodded and they immediately resumed their escape. Their pursuers followed the trail left behind by the refugees and caught onto them not long after. The imperial consort and her people were forced to the edge of the cliff. As the rebels pressed on, they had nowhere else to go. Wu Ning was carried by the imperial consort in her arms. With a twinkle of his eye, two attacks of God-Slaying Technique came crashing down on the rebels. Their souls were hit by the attack and they rolled around, wailing in agony. It wasn¡¯t long before their voices faded. The guard went forward to check on the rebels only to find corpses lying around on the ground. The imperial consort thought that it was God¡¯s blessing and quickly knelt, thanking God for His miracle. The rest of the palace maids, eunuchs, and guards followed suit, thanking God for saving their lives. Under Wu Ning¡¯s protection, they fled to a remote village and settled down. When the guard went out to purchase supplies, he heard that the Imperial City was invaded by the rebels. The emperor, together with his men, tried to defend the city in vain. He killed himself the moment the gates came crashing down. The imperial consort cried for days when she heard the news. However, looking at Wu Ning lying in the cradle, she decided then and there that she would be strong and give her son all the guidance he¡¯d need so that he¡¯d one day take back what was lost. A few years passed in the blink of an eye. In the morning, Wu Ning trained with the guard, following his movements while the imperial consort taught him to read at night. That morning, while Wu Ning was busy practicing with the guard, the imperial consort entered to see her son hard at work. She smiled in contentment. All these years, Wu Ning was an obedient kid. He was hard working and never angered the imperial consort. Not only that, he woke up early every day to train, to everyone else¡¯s contentment. Everyone imagined that one day, the little prince would lead them back to the Imperial City. Looking at the little prince practicing his moves, they knew that the time would come soon. Time flew by. Seven years later, Wu Ning was already ten years old. Under the guidance of the imperial consort, he became an educated boy. With the training given by the guard, his martial arts skills improved tremendously. On the day of Wu Ning¡¯s tenth birthday, the imperial consort called everyone over and cooked up a feast. After living the life of the commoner for years, the imperial consort was no longer the exquisite royal she used to be. Now, she was proficient in farming, growing vegetables, washing clothes, and cooking. In the past, when she was in the imperial palace, she had dozens of palace maids and eunuchs at her beck and call. The moment she left the Imperial City, her identity as the imperial consort was no longer existent. Although former palace maids and eunuchs lived with her, the imperial consort lived like a commoner, just like everybody else. She worked with everybody else, beginning her day at the crack of dawn. As with everybody¡¯s wishes, her only hope was to properly educate the little prince¡ªthe last descendant of the former emperor. Everyone gathered around the table, enjoying the feast. The imperial consort sat among them as if she was no different than the others. One wouldn¡¯t know that she was a royal and lived a lavish life once.. Chapter 22 - Enlistment Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation While eating, the imperial consort drank wine and glanced at Wu Ning from time to time. Today was Wu Ning¡¯s tenth birthday, and she wanted to tell him everything. He was already ten years old, and it was time for him to take some responsibility, such as avenging his father¡¯s death by killing the rebel leader King Yan. However, looking at her son¡¯s youthful face, the imperial consort¡¯s face showed a trace of reluctance. Her son was still so young, yet he had to bear the responsibility of reviving a kingdom. For a ten-year-old child, this seemed impossible. However, she had no choice. Wu Ning was the last remaining hope for the kingdom. After the feast, the imperial consort called Wu Ning into her study. The group of people outside the house all looked at the tightly shut door with heavy expressions. Their hopes were placed on this prince. When Wu Ning came out again, he had a calm look on his face. There was no joy of knowing that he was the prince or anger of shouldering the tragedy of the country on his shoulders. It was as if he still did not know anything. Everyone looked at Wu Ning¡¯s expression and looked at each other. In the end, the guard was the first to kneel. ¡°Your Highness!¡± Everyone followed the guard. ¡°Your Highness!¡± Wu Ning nodded and asked them to stand up. ¡°In the past, I did not know my identity. Now, I will bring you back to the imperial palace and take back everything that belongs to me and you!¡± The guard was the first to show his loyalty again. ¡°Whatever Your Highness desires, I, Huang Zhong will do it as you please!¡± Wu Ning nodded in satisfaction. All these years, he learned martial arts from Huang Zhong, and Huang Zhong was like a teacher to him. Although Wu Ning knew his identity in the Otherworld right from the beginning, he would pretend not to know and follow the path they had planned for him, if nobody revealed the truth. Now that they had told him and placed all their hopes on him, he didn¡¯t want to disappoint them. It was nothing difficult, seizing control of a country, Although, it might be as difficult as ascending to the heavens for them. But for Wu Ning, who had already cultivated to the limits of this world, it was as easy as flicking a finger. But now, Wu Ning still had to cooperate with them, study hard, and then ally with his father¡¯s old subordinates to gain their trust and support. In the next few years, the imperial consort brought Wu Ning to travel around the world, lobbying the former emperor¡¯s old subordinates to support Wu Ning in his quest to take back the throne. In the past ten years, because of the frequent conflicts in the imperial court, the civil and military officials had no interest in court politics. As a result, local governments became dictatorial, with families ruined and children sold. The people were seething with resentment. Every year, plenty of people who¡¯d have enough rise up into a rebellion, only to be quashed in the end. Gradually, the emperor, who was sitting on the dragon throne, became even more engrossed in wars. The generals who assisted him in ascending to the throne in the past had their powers were frequently reduced. Some generals saw that the emperor was about to become greedy, so they directly handed over a memorial to return to their hometown. When they returned to their hometown, they would take the gold and silver that the emperor had given them and retire in peace. Some of them held power in their hands and were unwilling to hand it over or give it up. The emperor executed them using a few flimsy accusations. Some of them had their military power stripped away by the emperor and were left idle in court. As for the imperial consort and the prince who had escaped back then, the current emperor was not bothered because he could not find them and also because he felt that he was getting stronger. He sent merely a few people on a search. In his opinion, the imperial consort was just a woman, and the little prince was a brat who was far from mature. He wasn¡¯t concerned with their capabilities. His arrogance indirectly allowed the imperial consort to travel with Wu Ning by her side, convincing the generals to switch sides. The imperial consort persuaded the generals, but she did not directly raise her troops. Instead, she left Wu Ning to train in a military camp. On this day, the imperial consort and the general hid in the shadows and looked at Wu Ning, who was training with everyone. The general said with a complicated expression, ¡°Your Highness, is this really a good idea? No matter what, he is still a little prince.¡± The imperial consort said with determination, ¡°It is precisely because he is the little prince that the responsibility on his shoulders does not allow him to be weak. Although my son is not weak and incompetent, he has always lacked real war experience. When he confronts that damned emperor in the future, he will not show mercy just because he is the prince. Therefore, I would rather he suffer now so that he can shed less blood on the battlefield in the future.¡± The general saw the imperial consort¡¯s determined expression and did not say anything else. He became even more determined to support the little prince¡¯s mission to restore the fallen dynasty. Although Wu Ning was currently training, his mind was completely immersed in the system. In the past few years, as long as Wu Ning convinced a general, he would receive 10,000 comprehension points. It turned out that in the Otherworld, restoring the previous dynasty would give him comprehension points. This was also why he had no comments when the imperial consort left him in the military camp. Instead, he was delighted, as he would get 20 comprehension points after every hour of training in the military camp. Wu Ning listened to the system¡¯s voice in his ear. ¡°Ding! Master has received 20 Comprehension Points for an hour¡¯s training.¡± He felt great and could not wait to train every day. The intensity was very tiring for the ordinary people of this world. However, it was not a problem for Wu Ning, who had the ultimate cultivation base of the Heavenly Dragon Realm in this world. With Wu Ning¡¯s two-year training and the persuasion he made previously, he had a total of more than 700,000 comprehension points, but these comprehension points were far from enough. Now, if Wu Ning wanted to upgrade the Nine-Level Soul Palace, he could only purchase the Dark Dragon Pill, worth one million points, from the system store. Previously, he needed only three pills to upgrade his Soul Palace from Level 3 to Level 7. However, with his soul getting stronger day by day, he needed many comprehension points. Now, three Dark Dragon Pills could only upgrade his Soul Palace by a level. After descending to the Otherworld for fifteen years, Wu Ning went out to war with his army for the first time. An impoverished region, where the people could not stand the harsh regime anymore, stood up and rebelled. This time, the emperor had personally appointed the general of Wu Ning¡¯s military camp to go on a personal expedition with him. The general had specially brought Wu Ning along to see just how much Wu Ning, who had trained with the soldiers for two years, had grown. After Wu Ning joined the army, the imperial consort and the group of guards settled down in the village near the military camp. Occasionally, when Wu Ning did not train, he would go visit them. Now, Wu Ning was sitting in the small courtyard of the imperial consort¡¯s house. The palace maid was busy cooking meals in the kitchen for him while the guards and imperial consort sat beside him. The imperial consort said, ¡°My son, when you are on the battlefield, it is important to fight bravely, but also very important to take care of yourself. I¡¯m not teaching you to run, but with everyone placing their hopes on you, you must return safely.¡± ¡°Actually, you don¡¯t have to go on this war. I need only to tell the general and you¡¯ll remain in the camp, training in safety. However, you will have to experience all of this in the end. It is better to experience it early and gain some so that the generals who support you can rest assured that the young prince they support is a real and capable person.¡± Wu Ning nodded. He understood the imperial consort¡¯s intentions. The guard then told him some techniques for fighting enemies and how to protect himself on the battlefield.. Chapter 23 - Long Live The Emperor Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation As they spoke, the palace maid was done cooking. The meal was served on the table, and nobody spoke anymore. At this time, a eunuch brought over a wine jar. ¡°This jar of wine was buried when Your Highness joined the army two years ago. I originally planned for Your Highness to enjoy it after he won his first battle. However, today, we will all drink and cheer for Your Highness. When Your Highness returns triumphantly, we will all drink the remaining half.¡± As he said this, he poured everyone a glass. Wu Ning stood up with the glass in his hand. ¡°This glass of wine is a toast to everyone here. Thank you for taking care of us, mother and son, all these years.¡± With that, he finished the wine in the cup in one gulp. Everyone looked at Wu Ning. The palace maid and eunuch were so moved that tears fell. They had watched Wu Ning grow up since he was young. In their hearts, they had already treated Wu Ning as their own son. It was just that their statuses were different. Over the years, the palace maid and the guard became husband and wife. They had a daughter and raised her under the imperial consort. She named her Huang Ying¡¯er. Ying¡¯er was mischievous and often made everyone laugh with her antics. At this point, Ying¡¯er imitated Wu Ning in raising his glass and said in a childish voice, ¡°Brother, brother, Ying¡¯er will also toast to you.¡± Everyone was laughing at Ying¡¯er¡¯s actions. The worries and anxiety about Wu Ning going to the battlefield the next day dissipated a lot. The family ate and drank together. Because Wu Ning was going to the battlefield the next day, he was stopped from drinking further after he drank the first glass of wine in a toast. Everybody else but him was drunk. They were extremely contented that the little prince had finally grown up but also worried about their little prince¡¯s war expedition. But more than that, they were happy and hopeful for the future. Wu Ning carried everyone into the room to sleep, then cleaned up the table. He sat in the courtyard and made himself a pot of tea while drinking and admiring the moon. When the sky was slightly brighter, he rushed back to the barracks and began his expedition with the troops. On the battlefield, Wu Ning fought bravely and was promoted to deputy lieutenant by the general. Actually, it was not because Wu Ning was bloodthirsty, but every time he killed someone, the voice of the system would ring in his ear. ¡°Ding! Congratulations Master for killing one enemy. You gained 50 Comprehension Points.¡± As Wu Ning killed more enemies, his comprehension points also increased. The general looked at Wu Ning¡¯s battle results and nodded his head in satisfaction. It seemed that they were not supporting the wrong person and were not on the wrong side. This little prince indeed had the demeanor of their former emperor. Ten years passed and because of Wu Ning¡¯s meritorious service, he was already a great general of the cavalry. The current emperor also gave Wu Ning many rewards. However, he did not know that the great general of the cavalry that he had personally conferred was the little prince that had escaped back then. If he knew, he would¡¯ve sentenced the general to death immediately. It had already been twenty-five years since he had descended into the Otherworld. Wu Ning¡¯s prestige in the military reached its peak. Now, it was time to fulfill his mother¡¯s wish, avenge his father, and seize the throne. Wu Ning gathered the generals who had supported him in the past and discussed how to break into the imperial city. In the end, they decided that Wu Ning would go to the imperial palace to assassinate the emperor, then open the city gates and cooperate with the army outside to invade the imperial city. The next day, late at night. The emperor was sleeping soundly with a concubine in his arms. Wu Ning came to his bedroom but was not in a hurry to make a move. Instead, he sat at the table and brewed himself a cup of tea. He sat there quietly watching the emperor, waiting to see when he would discover him. Suddenly, the emperor opened his eyes. He turned his head and saw Wu Ning sitting opposite him, looking at him with a faint smile. The emperor immediately put on a dignified look. ¡°My great general, did you come here late at night? Are you planning to rebel?¡± Wu Ning took a sip of tea and answered slowly, ¡°Your Majesty is smart. I came here exactly to take your pathetic life.¡± Hearing this, the monarch flew into a rage. ¡°How dare you? Who gave you the guts to be so disrespectful? Men, drag him down and throw him into the royal prison!¡± When the emperor saw that nobody answered his orders, he pointed at Wu Ning and said, ¡°You, did you kill all the people around the palace?¡± Wu Ning slowly put down the teacup. ¡°They were too much of a hindrance, so I took care of them. Your Majesty, you can shout as you please. Don¡¯t worry, no one will come for you.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t understand. You¡¯re the general of the cavalry, why are you rebelling? Is the throne really that tempting?¡± the emperor asked. Wu Ning sat there and slowly replied, ¡°Aren¡¯t you the best at knowing whether it¡¯s tempting or not? Weren¡¯t you also tempted by the throne back then before you attempted to usurp the throne?¡± The emperor looked at Wu Ning in confusion. ¡°What do you mean?¡± Wu Ning smiled at the emperor. ¡°Don¡¯t you understand what I mean? If I call you Your Majesty now, you will soon cease to be one.¡± ¡°Who are you? Who exactly are you?¡±The emperor asked as if he had gone mad. Wu Ning replied, as slow as ever, ¡°I am the prince who was forced to escape the Imperial City with my mother back then. Your Majesty, how could you forget me so quickly?¡± ¡°It¡¯s you. You¡¯re that little b*stard who slipped through the cracks back then. I didn¡¯t think that you would dare to come back.¡± The emperor was shocked and doubtful. Wu Ning said, ¡°Why wouldn¡¯t I return? This was originally my home, but you took it away from me. I¡¯m taking it back now.¡± The emperor wanted to say something, but Wu Ning¡¯s Laws of Reincarnation enveloped him. In the next second, the emperor died. Wu Ning did not even look at the monarch¡¯s corpse as he walked out of the palace. As for the concubine, Wu Ning only knocked her out, sparing her. Along the way, Wu Ning finished the guards and came to the city gate. With a wave of his hand, the latch broke and the city gate was slowly opened. Wu Ning took out a signal flare and released it. Following this, the troops outside the city gate swarmed in. Very quickly, the two armies met and started to fight. However, Wu Ning¡¯s troops were carefully selected and trained, while the Imperial City guards faced the enemy in a panic. Very quickly, the situation became one-sided. Wu Ning went and started killing as the system voice sounded in his ears. ¡°Ding! Congratulations Master for obtaining 50 Comprehension Points for killing one enemy.¡± When Wu Ning heard this voice, he waved his hands even faster. Very quickly, the enemy¡¯s blood dyed Wu Ning¡¯s green clothes red. Wu Ning¡¯s army became more and more courageous as they fought. The imperial guards¡¯ morale became weaker. When they heard that their emperor had been assassinated, many people raised their hands and surrendered. The generals looked for Wu Ning and asked him what he should do. Wu Ning thought about it and decided to go to the palace first. The palace was the core of the country. As long as they captured the palace, they would be halfway to success. Wu Ning led the army towards the palace. In front of the palace gate, civil and military officials were all dressed neatly and lined up to welcome him. Wu Ning got off his horse and entered the palace. The civil and military officials followed behind him. When he walked into the palace, Wu Ning stood at a high place and looked down. Blood was flowing all over the ground and there were corpses everywhere. When the civil and military officials saw Wu Ning stop, they all knelt and shouted, ¡°Long live the emperor! Long live the emperor!¡± ¡°Long live the Emperor!¡± ¡°Long live the Emperor!¡± The noise was getting louder and louder. Wu Ning turned around and looked at the throne. He looked at the corpse below and sighed with emotion. Wu Ning was expressionless. He waved his hand, motioning everybody to return to their feet.. Chapter 24 - War Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The battle for the throne ended after Wu Ning had assassinated the ruler and captured the palace. On the second day after Wu Ning seized the throne, he brought the imperial concubines and the others back to the palace. He dismissed all the concubines in the harem, cut the number of palace maids and eunuchs in half, and replaced all the guards with people he trusted. The eunuch who had been with them all those years ago was given the title of chief steward and was in charge of all matters in the harem. The palace maid became the personal palace maid of the imperial consort and was the woman in charge of the imperial consort¡¯s palace. The guard was given the title of Imperial Commander and tasked with protecting the emperor. Even though Wu Ning¡¯s martial arts were very powerful and did not need anyone to protect him, he needed imperial guards still. The corpse of the previous emperor was hung on the city wall for all to see for three whole days. A month later, Wu Ning had his coronation. The ceremony was not extravagant as it was merely symbolic. Wu Ning conferred the title of Empress Dowager to the imperial consort and buried his father in a solemn yet grand ceremony. After doing all this, Wu Ning issued an imperial edict, granting amnesty to the people and exempted taxes for three years. Wu Ning sat in the imperial study and took a breath. Being the emperor was too tiring. He really did not have a moment to rest; he had things to do all the time. Wu Ning planned to go on a personal expedition to recover lost territory. The national treasury was empty now. Previously, the former emperor had squeezed his people dry. Now, they could not afford to pay taxes. Wu Ning could not force them to pay taxes as the former emperor did. Therefore, he could only use war to transfer the economic pressure of the country to other countries. Half a year after Wu Ning ascended the throne, Wu Ning led his army to the border and prepared to attack the Turks. During the war, the empress dowager would supervise the country. In the beginning, many people were against it. It was a tradition that women were not allowed to interfere in politics. However, the objections were suppressed by Wu Ning. As soon as opposition arose, Wu Ning would quickly suppress them. It didn¡¯t matter if they called him a tyrant or a ruler. In any case, the task of governing the country could only be handed over to the empress dowager. Inside the ruler of the Turks¡¯ tents. ¡°Hahahaha, a child who has just ascended the throne actually dares to dream of attacking us Turks. He really overestimates himself.¡± ¡°That emperor probably wants to use us to establish his authority.¡± ¡°Hmph, with just him, he still wants to attack us. What a fool¡¯s dream. Great Khan, I am willing to lead troops into battle.¡± ¡°Good, good, good, Zhiming Sili, you are indeed a good son of the Turks. I will confer you the title of Sunil and lead a hundred thousand troops to go to war against the emperor!¡± ¡°I, Zhiming Sili, will accept the order. I will not disappoint the Great Khan. From now on, he will never dare to invade the Turks again!¡± After saying that, he left the tent to lead the troops. The other people in the tent were roasting meat and laughing as they talked about other things in the imperial court. It was as if the incoming attack was merely a slight inconvenience. Wu Ning and the army were resting at the border. Wu Ning sat in the middle of the soldiers and warmed up to the fire with them. ¡°I say, our emperor is wonderful. Not only did he exempt us from taxes, he even ate roasted meat along with us. Which emperor could do this?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Exempting us from taxes for three years, now we can only attack the Turks to ease the emptiness of the national treasury.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know if we can succeed this time. What if we fail? My parents told me to fight courageously with the emperor. His Majesty treats us well, we can¡¯t disappoint him. We must fight bravely on the battlefield.¡± ¡°You¡¯re right, it is the only thing we can do.¡± At this moment, the general walked over and knelt, ¡°Your Majesty, there¡¯s an update. The Turks have sent Zhiming Sili to lead an army of 100,000 to stop us.¡± Wu Ning thought for a moment. No matter who it was, they could not stop him. He would definitely win this war. His troops, on the other hand, were a different matter. Hence, it was best to think of a way to minimize the casualties. After all, they were his soldiers and were fighting for him. Wu Ning gestured for the general to continue. ¡°Zhiming Sili is one of the four best generals among the Turks. He is ranked third among the four great generals. Although his ability is not as good as the first two, he is the most battle-hungry. Moreover, he is brave and is good at fighting, a brave and resourceful man.¡± The general continued after receiving Wu Ning¡¯s permission. Wu Ning thought for a moment, ¡°One of the four great generals among the Turks, and he is also the most battle-hungry and good at fighting. It seems that this person has not only fought many battles but also achieved good results.¡± The general nodded, ¡°Yes. Before the current Khan became the ruler, back when he was still the crown prince, Zhiming had been by his side. Not only did he strategize for the Khan, but he also helped him kill off all oppositions. When the Khan ascended to the throne, he would run errands for the Khan. It can be said that if not for Zhiming, the Khan would not have been able to secure the throne so quickly.¡± ¡°Oh? Then it seems that Zhiming is quite a brave and resourceful guy. It seems that I have to think of a good way.¡±Wu Ning curled his lips upward. The light of the fire reflected on Wu Ning¡¯s face, making Wu Ning¡¯s already handsome face look slightly sneaky. At this moment, Wu Ning already had a plan in his heart. Actually, there was no need for a plan. Wu Ning only needed to go directly to the Turkish capital and kill them all. However, doing so would only anger the master of this world. Moreover, Wu Ning also liked this kind of plan. After all, in his previous life, Wu Ning was a wealthy merchant on Planet Blue. Every day, he lived in the midst of schemes and plots. Now that he had started planning again, it brought out nostalgia from the past. When Wu Ning was studying Planet Blue in the past, he had learned the saying of strategies without victories. This idiom was about a great general surnamed Lian in the state of Zhao. He was very brave and good at fighting. One day, the state of Qin came to attack the state of Zhao. Because the state of Qin¡¯s military strength was far greater than that of the state of Zhao, if the state of Zhao also sent troops to attack, there was a high probability of failure. Therefore, General Lian used the method of defending the state of Zhao. After defending the state of Zhao for three years, the state of Qin couldn¡¯t do anything. At this time, a strategist surnamed Fan from the state of Qin came up with an idea to use rumors to bewitch the king of the state of Zhao. The king of the state of Zhao fell for it. He had thought that since General Lian couldn¡¯t fight, he would change the general. At this time, they wantonly advertised that a general surnamed Zhao in the state of Zhao was very brave and good at fighting. If he made a move, the state of Qin would definitely lose, the king of the state of Zhao listened to the rumors and chose General Zhao. However, General Zhao loved to learn the art of war when he was young and had many opinions on fighting and war in general. It was just that he didn¡¯t have any actual combat experience, so his theoretical knowledge was definitely not a problem. Therefore, before his father died, he said that General Zhao must not be allowed to lead troops into battle as he didn¡¯t have any actual combat experience. However, the current king of the state of Zhao hadn¡¯t listened to them. He resolutely sent General Zhao to the frontlines to replace General Lian. As soon as General Zhao took command, he used 450,000 troops to attack the 600,000 troops of the state of Qin. The general of the state of Qin was an experienced general, so he feigned defeat and retreated. General Zhao, who was eager for victory, chased after him. In the end, he was ambushed by the general of the state of Qin. The Zhao army was cut off by the Qin army and surrounded. At this moment, General Zhao knew how strong the general of the state of Qin was. He built a fortress and used a defensive strategy. The Qin army also cut off food and reinforcements supply of the Zhao army. Just like that, the Zhao army was surrounded for 40 days without any food or reinforcements. The morale of the soldiers of the state of Zhao also decreased. General Zhao had no choice but to attack and break out of the encirclement. In the end, General Zhao was shot to death by the Qin army. When the Zhao army heard that their general had died, they threw down their weapons, and the remaining 400 thousand surrendered.. Chapter 25 - Hot Pot; Meal Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation It just so happened that Wu Ning¡¯s country lacked labor forces. If they could capture the 100,000 Turkic soldiers and use them as builders, then they could greatly reduce their expenses. The people could now work on the farms. It would no longer lead to a situation where food supply was affected because there were no people harvesting them. Even if they lost some soldiers during the war, they would still have a labor force of 50,000. That was not a small number. After making up his mind, Wu Ning had his people build a tea pavilion between the two armies. Tomorrow, he would invite Zhiming Sili over to have tea. Wu Ning even specially requested the best tea to be provided. After all, these were used to serve the generals of the opponents so they couldn¡¯t be that bad. After all, it was crucial to keep his reputation as the emperor. The next day, Wu Ning woke up early and went to the tea pavilion to wait for Zhiming Sili. He even thoughtfully covered the surroundings of the tea pavilion with law patterns to prevent anyone from eavesdropping. On the other hand, Zhiming Sili had been studying the invitation Wu Ning had given him in the tent for a long time. He did not know what Wu Ning was up to. At this moment, a subordinate came to report, ¡°Reporting to General Zhiming, the emperor is sitting alone in the teahouse.¡± Zhiming Sili frowned and asked, ¡°Only himself?¡± The soldier nodded and answered, ¡°Yes, only him.¡± Zhiming Sili¡¯s frown deepened. What was the emperor doing? Was he not afraid that he would kill him if he asked him to come alone? Or had he already set up a trap for him? Even if he killed him, it would be useless. The Turkic army of 100,000 was still there. As long as the Khan continued to send generals, it would not make much of a difference whether he died or not. After thinking for a long time in the military tent, Zhiming Sili finally decided to see what exactly the emperor was up to. Zhiming Sili wore only a Turkic uniform with a dagger at his waist. He did not bring anything else to the tea pavilion. Wu Ning raised his head and sized up Zhiming Sili. This person was younger than he looked. He was about 30 years old, looked rather ordinary, and had a thin and small figure. He was not as big as he had imagined. Wu Ning did not stand up to welcome him. He merely made a gesture of invitation. The other party was only a general. Even if the Great Khan came, he wouldn¡¯t greet him with full honors. Zhiming Sili sat down opposite Wu Ning. As soon as he sat down, he said, ¡°May I know why you invited me here?¡± Wu Ning shook his head and blew at the tea foam in his teacup. Then, he took a sip and said, ¡°Nothing much. I¡¯m just curious about what you look like, the third-ranked general of the Turks.¡± Zhiming looked at Wu Ning with a frown. He found that he could not see through the emperor. He had always been able to guess the motives of the others, no matter who they were or even their Khan. However, he could not read the young emperor in front of him at all. Wu Ning looked at Zhiming Sili¡¯s frowning face and smiled. He poured a cup of tea for him and said, ¡°You look like I¡¯d attack you the next second.¡± Zhiming Sili took a sip of the tea and said, ¡°Didn¡¯t you call me here just to kill me?¡± Wu Ning shook his head mysteriously and continued sipping his tea. Zhiming Sili couldn¡¯t figure out what Wu Ning wanted to do, so he could only drink tea with him. In the afternoon, someone brought a pot and placed it in the middle of the table. The pot was filled with uncooked food. That pot looked very strange. There was a pot on the top and a charcoal fire on the bottom. The soup in the pot kept bubbling. Wu Ning picked up some food and placed them into the pot. That¡¯s right, this was the hot pot that people on Planet Blue liked to eat. When the dishes were cooked, Wu Ning scooped them up and placed them into Zhiming Sili¡¯s bowl, motioning for him to try them. Zhiming Sili hesitantly picked up a chopstick and put it into his mouth to taste. Soon, he felt as if his mouth was on fire, and he kept fanning it with his hands. Wu Ning looked at the comical Zhiming Sili and smiled. Then, he continued putting more food into the hot pot to boil. When the dishes were done, he picked up a chopstick and put it into his own bowl. He asked Zhiming Sili if he still wanted it. Zhiming Sili nodded without hesitation and said yes. Although the spiciness of the chili and the numbness of the pepper made him uncomfortable, he couldn¡¯t stop. Then, Zhiming Sili snatched Wu Ning¡¯s job of cooking and came to serve the soup dishes himself. Wu Ning put in more food and brought in more dishes. As he ate, he asked, ¡°Zhiming Sili, what do you think about this dish from my country?¡± Zhiming Sili couldn¡¯t speak because of the spice. He just nodded and said, ¡°What is this dish called? I¡¯ll ask them to try it when we go back.¡± ¡°This dish is called hotpot,¡± Wu Ning said mysteriously on purpose. ¡°Hotpot?¡± Wu Ning nodded. ¡°That¡¯s right, it¡¯s a hotpot. The most important thing about this hotpot is its seasoning. If the seasoning isn¡¯t good, then no matter what food is cooked in it, it won¡¯t taste good.¡± ¡°Then how do we make this seasoning?¡± Zhiming Sili asked with a huff. Wu Ning shook his head. ¡°This hotpot is our secret recipe. If you want to know, you have to join us.¡± Although this hotpot was delicious, Zhiming Sili still shook his head firmly. ¡°Hmm, forget it. Although this hotpot is delicious, I will never betray my country for the sake of mere food.¡± Wu Ning was not discouraged. He had originally hoped that hotpot would be enough to make Zhiming Sili submit to another country. However, this seed of distrust had to be planted in the heart of the Turk. So, on the first day, hotpot. On the second day, boiled beef, kung pao chicken, and mapo tofu. On the third day, spicy and sour fish, beer duck, and blood curd. On the fourth day, because he had eaten Sichuan food for three days in a row, Wu Ning couldn¡¯t stand it anymore, so he switched to Lu cuisine. On the fourth day, crystal shrimp dumpling, sweet and sour carp, and scallion braised sea cucumber. In the same tea house, Zhiming Sili picked up a sea cucumber and shook it twice up and down. It looked very delicious. Zhiming Sili swallowed hard and asked Wu Ning, ¡°What is this? It¡¯s so black. Is it edible?¡± Wu Ning smiled and picked up a sea cucumber and put it into his mouth. He chewed twice and the fresh fragrance of onions and sea cucumber exploded in his mouth. Seeing that Wu Ning was enjoying it, Zhiming Sili also took a bite of the sea cucumber. After all, the dishes that Wu Ning had taken out these days didn¡¯t taste bad. Zhiming Sili took a bite and his eyes widened. He felt that this thing was unexpectedly delicious. He never expected something that looked so weird to taste so good. After Zhiming Sili had tasted it, Wu Ning introduced it to him, ¡°From the eastern half of the mountain, the main ingredients are sea cucumber and green onions. The sea cucumber is fresh, soft, and fragrant. The green onions have a strong aroma. After eating, there is no excess gravy. The green onions have a mellow fragrance and are rich in nutrients. It nourishes the lungs and the kidneys.¡± Zhiming Sili did not care about Wu Ning¡¯s introduction. He devoured a sea cucumber in a few seconds. Then, the two of them ate and chatted as if they had been friends for years. If the other party were not the emperor, he would definitely treat him as a close buddy. Zhiming Sili ate as he looked at Wu Ning¡¯s face, thinking to himself. After so many days, through their conversation, Zhiming Sili found that Wu Ning was not as ignorant as he had imagined. On the contrary, he was very knowledgeable and could chat about anything. No matter what he talked about, Wu Ning would be able to follow up with a conversation. Although he knew that it would be disadvantageous for him to come to have a meal with the emperor, he couldn¡¯t resist the allure of the food and Wu Ning¡¯s personality.. Chapter 26 - The Attack Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation On the fifth day, Wu Ning made Zhiming Sili boiled cabbage. When Zhiming Sili saw the boiled cabbage on the table, he couldn¡¯t help but feel a little disappointed. ¡°Emperor, if you don¡¯t have any ingredients left, why don¡¯t you give us another serving of the hotpot we had before? What¡¯s so good about this cabbage that looks so thin and watery?¡± During this period of time, Zhiming Sili was so used to the food Wu Ning fed him that he would not accept anything that was not spicy. Wu Ning did not say anything and merely motioned for Zhiming Sili to taste it. Zhiming Sili picked up a piece of cabbage with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth to taste. He chewed it twice, but after a while, his eyes widened. He had never expected that a piece of cabbage could be made so delicious. Zhiming Sili was shocked. ¡°Emperor, I didn¡¯t expect that a piece of cabbage from your country to be so tasty.¡± Wu Ning picked up a leaf of the cabbage and tasted it. He closed his eyes and felt the crispness and fragrance of the cabbage through his tongue. When Wu Ning opened his eyes again, there was nothing left on the plate. Zhiming Sili consumed it all and could be seen licking his plate. When Zhiming Sili saw Wu Ning open his eyes, he awkwardly put down his plate. Wu Ning shook his head and smiled. He then ordered his men to serve more dishes and the two of them ate and joked as usual. On the fifth day, Wenchang chicken, roasted suckling pig, and Yannan roasted duck were served. On the sixth day, three-cup chicken, lotus blood duck, and dried meat stir-fried with wormwood were served. On the seventh day, when Zhiming Sili came, it was obvious that he had put on weight. Wu Ning had no doubt he would become obese if Zhiming Sili didn¡¯t control his diet. Today, Wu Ning did not prepare any dishes. Instead, he told Zhiming Sili, ¡°We will attack tomorrow. Return and prepare your troops.¡± Zhiming Sili sat there in a daze. He had not expected Wu Ning to be so forthright with him. These days, although he would come to eat every day, he was always on alert, in case Wu Ning thought of playing any tricks. However, he did not expect to receive the news in such frank fashion. He even told him to prepare early. Zhiming Sili was silent for a while. Without saying anything, he returned. No matter how much he and Wu Ning got along, he knew what was more important when national interest was involved. Now, he had to go back and prepare his troops, awaiting Wu Ning¡¯s attack tomorrow. He did make a promise to the Khan that he¡¯d return in victory. After he returned, Wu Ning ordered his men to remove the tea pavilion. The show was almost done, with the last act remaining for tomorrow. At night, Zhiming Sili lay in bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. If Wu Ning were defeated tomorrow, he had to escort Wu Ning to the Turkish capital and await the Khan¡¯s orders. The Khan would very likely give the order to kill Wu Ning. He did not want Wu Ning to die. These days, he found that although Wu Ning was a quiet man, he was very sincere. Even if a soldier accidentally tripped and dropped a whole plate of food on him, he would instead comfort the soldier and tell him to watch out the next time. Otherwise, the other generals would punish him. Even if there were times when he felt that Wu Ning¡¯s personality was too gentle, it did not prevent him from liking Wu Ning and the dishes that he cooked. Yes, especially the dishes that he cooked. Zhiming was still thinking about what to do if Wu Ning lost the battle. Worst come to worst, he would plead for mercy for him. Wu Ning had to live, no matter what. Or he could take Wu Ning home as his slave. Of course, it was just for show. He only wanted the defeated emperor to cook for him. Even if the Khan had his doubts, he had to save Wu Ning. After making up his mind, Zhiming Sili turned around and fell asleep. On the other side, Wu Ning was still awake. They were going to attack the Turks the next day. After spending a few days with his opponent, Wu Ning discovered that Zhiming Sili wasn¡¯t as intelligent as he once thought. In fact, he seemed a little too naive. Wu Ning wanted him to surrender and perhaps he could award Zhiming with the title of a general. If he refused, however, he would kill without hesitation. People that had no value were his enemies; a principle Wu Ning held firm. Even though he was the emperor now, he would not follow his own wishes blindly. Hundreds of thousands of lives were at stake, too much for him to tread lightly. The next day, Wu Ning led his army, officially attacking the Turks. One hundred thousand troops arrived at the city gate, and all the soldiers were ready to sacrifice themselves for their country. When Wu Ning gave the order, his army began attacking the city as countless fireballs were catapulted into the capital. The city began retaliating with fire arrows. Slowly, the arrows lit up the sky. Wu Ning had a plan. He ordered his troops to pull up their shields so that the arrows could not hit them. All the soldiers held their shields above their heads and began to advance in an orderly manner. There were catapults working where the arrows could not reach. Once the troop arrived at the gate, the catapults would start smashing through the gate. Here, Wu Ning did not use the ladder that was necessary to attack the city gate. It was too risky to use one. Even if more than a dozen people climbed up, they would be killed in an instant. Wu Ning also followed the shield formation to the city gate. Looking at the tall city gate before him, Wu Ning¡¯s hands were full of spiritual power. His cultivation base was built up step by step by himself through tribulation cultivation. He was different from the other practitioners who used drugs instead. Wu Ning continued to condense the spiritual power in his hands. When the spiritual power was condensed to the limit, Wu Ning hit the city gate. The moment his hands touched the city gate, the spiritual power exploded, and the power of the explosion spread to the entire gate. In an instant, it was shattered into pieces. His army swarmed the city. However, they did not kill wantonly. Instead, they merely looted. After looting the city, they retreated. This confused Zhiming Sili very much. What was Wu Ning doing? The city had been breached, and the city gate had been blown to smithereens. Why didn¡¯t he enter the main city? Zhiming Sili thought for a long time but could not figure it out, in the end, he could only order repairs to be made. Wu Ning withdrew his troops and returned to his base. When he saw the smiles on the soldiers¡¯ faces, he knew that it was a fruitful outing. Wu Ning waved his hand. There was no need to hand in the things they looted this time. They were allowed to keep them. Everyone cheered and shouted, ¡°Long live the Emperor!¡± Wu Ning let the celebrations be while he returned to his tent. Wu Ning had something up his sleeves, that¡¯s why he didn¡¯t order any killings.. Chapter 27 - Ashna Shuhan Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation He raised his hand to look at his formation mark. [Activating Formation Mark] [Name: Wu Ning] [Realm: Void Training Stage Realm (Perfect)] [Attributes: Omniscience] [Law: Fire (Domain), Water (Domain), Ice (Meaning), Laws of Reincarnation (Meaning)] [Treasure: God-Slaying Wings (Broken)] [Base technique: Level 7, Rank 8 Soul Palace] [Cultivation method: Tiger Hall technique, All-life Technique, God-Slaying technique, Non-Dragon Heart Technique (Complete)] [Evaluation: SSS Divine tier] [Reward: x6 descending quotas] [Treasure points: 64 million] He didn¡¯t search for resources since he came to the Otherworld. However, the resources he had encountered along the way had increased his treasure points by 8 million. There were also comprehension points. He now had 520 thousand of them. Although it seemed like a lot, these points could not even be exchanged for a bottle of Divine Soul Dragon Liquid. Wu Ning frowned. Although his comprehension points increased at a similar rate as before, previously he was rather weak and the points sufficed. However, as his cultivation base grew higher and higher, his comprehension points became increasingly insufficient. However, other than descending to the Otherworld to obtain comprehension points, there was no other way to do so in the real world. The system seemed to have sensed Wu Ning¡¯s annoyance. ¡°Master, you can also obtain comprehension points by killing aliens back in the real world.¡± Aliens? It just so happened that his descent this time, he would head to the outer realm battlefields to train. There wasn¡¯t much out there but aliens. If he could obtain comprehension points by killing aliens¡­ He would gladly anticipate the sharp increase in comprehension points after the end of his current descent. Now that the problem of comprehension points had been solved, the next step was to focus on dealing with the Turks. Things were not going well for Zhiming Sili. After yesterday¡¯s battle, the news reached the ears of the Turkic Khan who urgently summoned Zhiming Sili back. The Khan sat imposingly on a throne wrapped in exquisite beast hide. ¡°Zhiming Sili, didn¡¯t you promise you¡¯d win? How did you lose the first battle yesterday?¡± Zhiming Sili knelt and lowered his head. ¡°Great Khan, I have nothing to say about my defeat. I await my rightful trial.¡± The Great Khan patted the armrest. ¡°Humph, I suppose it¡¯s only right you¡¯re speechless. I see you¡¯ve been eating and drinking with the emperor these days. What a carefree life you¡¯re leading.¡± Zhiming Sili raised his head to look at the Khan. ¡°O Great Khan, I am loyal to you and the nation only.¡± ¡°Is that so? Then explain why you¡¯ve been eating with the emperor. Men, get Zhiming Sili. No one is allowed to see him without my orders!¡± The Khan was enraged. With his orders, a few guards came in and dragged Zhiming Sili away. The Khan sat in his seat and pondered. Now that Zhiming Sili was out of action, who should he send next? After all, the war was far from over. There were only three generals left in the four generals, and among them, two were guarding the border. They could not be recalled, for their absence would bring chaos to the border. The third, however, was too old to lead troops into battle. The Great Khan pondered for a long time but could not come up with a solution. At this time, Wu Ning had already sent people to the Turks to spread news, saying that Ashna Shuhan, Ashna Kagan¡¯s youngest son, was an expert in leading troops to war. The troops of the Central Plains would be defeated immediately if Ashna Shuhan led the attack. Ashna Kagan was one of the four great generals, but he was already old and sick and had been bedridden for many days. When he heard the news, he hit his bed in anger. How was this praise? It was clearly a death sentence. He knew his son¡¯s ability and was determined to stop Ashna Shuhan from entering the battlefield. Otherwise, not only would his reputation be ruined, but the Ashna family would also be condemned for all eternity. The Khan had been calling for Ashna Shuhan, but it was all stopped by Ashna Kagan. He was determined not to let the Ashna family bear the humiliation of defeat that was to come. It was a pity that the wise General Ashna Kagan only lasted for three days before he passed away. His family only thought that he had died of illness. No one was sure whether he had truly died of an illness or was killed. They held a grand funeral for him. The poor old man died before he could even say his last words. On the second day after Ashna Kagan¡¯s death, the Khan summoned Ashna Shuhan. Not long after, Ashna Shuhan held the imperial edict in his hand and returned home with a smile on his face. With Ashna Kagan¡¯s death, both of their wishes were fulfilled. On the fourth day, Ashna Shuhan brought 100,000 troops to the border and met up with the remaining 100,000 troops brought by Zhiming Sili. They discussed the situation of the previous battle on the strategy table. Ashna Shuhan said with disdain, ¡°I think that Zhiming Sili has already betrayed the country. Otherwise, with how strong the city gate is, I don¡¯t believe how the emperor was able to break it with one punch. It¡¯s most likely collusion between Zhiming Sili and the emperor. ¡°Also, the emperor did not kill anyone after entering the city but merely looted. It is only a show put on for the Khan.¡± The generals nodded, realizing that Ashna¡¯s analysis was rather reasonable. Then, they began discussing how they should fight their enemies for the battle tomorrow as Wu Ning had already sent a letter saying that he would attack the city. Ashna Shuhan was furious after reading the letter. He felt that the emperor was too arrogant. How dare he write them a letter? Burn it! ¡°The emperor is too arrogant. We can¡¯t just defend the city but should take the initiative and attack, wiping their armies out.¡± ¡°What do you reckon, General?¡± The generals asked. Ashna Shuhan smiled sinisterly and said, ¡°Isn¡¯t the emperor going to attack the city tomorrow? We have 200,000 troops now. We only need 100,000 troops to defend the city. As for the remaining 100,000 troops, let them lie in ambush outside the city tonight. When the emperor attacks the city, surround them and form a pincer attack.¡± All the generals nodded after hearing this. They thought it was a good plan and complimented Ashna Shuhan. ¡°You are indeed the son of the late General Ashna, a true talent.¡± ¡°Yeah, I didn¡¯t expect the little general to be so smart at such a young age. Looks like the younger generation will overtake us any day soon.¡± ¡°The little general is so smart. He will definitely become a great person in the future.¡± ¡°The little general is the glory of the Ashna clan.¡± Ashna Shuhan was a little smug after being praised by the generals. He was delighted but had to pretend to be modest. ¡°No, no. This is all because of the guidance you¡¯ve given me. I am only a young and untrained soldier, how could I do it on my own?¡± Both sides tried their best to flatter the other, who had a great time hearing all the compliments and praise thrown around. Wu Ning sat in the tent and looked at the information in his hand as a smile appeared on his face. What a ¡®great¡¯ plan! Now Ashna Shuhan had brought them another 100,000 soldiers.. Chapter 28 - Unification Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Wu Ning and a few high-ranking generals found a secret lookout spot to observe the enemy¡¯s movement. It seemed that Ashna Shuhan had some brains after all. He actually came up with the pincer attack. Ha, not a bad move. However, Ashna Shuhan had not listened to the advice given by his father before he died. He wanted to make a name for himself and prove to everyone that even though he was the youngest son of the Ashna family, he was also the most talented, and he was the only one who could lead the Ashna family to glory. Thinking of this, Wu Ning shook his head. That¡¯s why one should always listen to their elders. They stood patiently watching the layout of the Turkic army. Then, Wu Ning gave a signal and a general behind him carried out his orders. Now that the Turkic army had completed their formation, it was time to take in their captives. One hundred thousand people to be exact. However, the biggest headache was how to subdue them after they were captured as disobedient captives were useless. Wu Ning rubbed his forehead. This was indeed a headache. Wu Ning looked at the Turkic army below and his eyes suddenly lit up. Since it was not easy to tame them, he would just find someone with prestige within the Turkic army to do the job. Wu Ning already had a candidate in mind. It seemed like the candidate wouldn¡¯t have to die when the Turks were defeated. Good food would be Wu Ning¡¯s most capable aide in the attempt to convince the man. After settling this matter, Wu Ning¡¯s mood lightened and he pulled out his zither. Back then, in order to let him develop his morals, intelligence, physique, beauty, and diligence, the imperial consort not only taught him all kinds of knowledge but also taught him how to play this musical instrument. Wu Ning sat cross-legged and placed the zither on his knee. He watched the battle below and began playing a piece called ¡°Ambush from All Sides.¡± A burst of zither music accompanied the scene of the soldiers fighting below. Wu Ning closed his eyes and felt as if something was about to break out of his heart but struggled to make the breakthrough. Following his heart, the rhythm in his hands became faster. In the end, the zither string snapped from the intense exertion. The snapped zither string was fiercely embedded into Wu Ning¡¯s fingertip. Then, due to inertia, it was yanked out again. Wu Ning looked at the blood flowing out of his fingertip. The warlike drive in his body started to stir. At this moment, he felt murderous intent, wanting to massacre all human beings. He did not suppress the intent but instead raised his sword to join the battle. When the soldiers saw that the emperor was fighting with them, their morales increased tremendously. In less than four hours, the ten thousand Turkic soldiers were captured. After killing so dozens of people, Wu Ning calmed down a little. Looking at the brightening sky, Wu Ning set down the sword in his hand. He was covered in blood. What was wrong with him? He tried very hard to suppress the frenzy but to no avail. Without much hesitation, Wu Ning ordered his troops to set down camp and rest. When the sky turned bright, it was time to attack the city. Wu Ning did not have much hope for invading the city. In any case, they had already done it once. Although, it was a little different now. *** The army gathered at the foot of the city. At Wu Ning¡¯s order, the troops began their attack. However, after an hour of feint attacks, the troops started to retreat. Ashna Shuhan, who was in the city, saw the retreat and became anxious. He ignored the elders¡¯ dissuasion and led another fifty thousand troops out of the city to chase after the enemy. As expected, he was surrounded and captured by Wu Ning. Looking at the many captives, Wu Ning was concerned. These captives were all soldiers and had huge appetites. The rate of consumption of rations in the army was twice as fast as before. It seemed that he had to invade the Turks as soon as possible, or sooner or later, he would be left with no food at all. Hence, Wu Ning personally took action. With a thunderous momentum, he took down the Turks in less than half a month. When they reached the main camp of the Turks, Wu Ning saw the imprisoned Zhiming Sili and asked for him to be brought up. Zhiming Sili was very stubborn when he came up and said, ¡°Kill me!¡± Wu Ning smiled at him and prepared a hotpot feast. He personally untied him and they enjoyed the feast together. Halfway through the feast, Wu Ning finally revealed his intention, ¡°I¡¯ve finally conquered the Turks, however the soldiers do not listen to my orders. I have ways to instill obedience, but it would take too long. ¡°I¡¯ve thought long and hard about it and realized, why don¡¯t I find someone with prestige among the Turks to lead them? If you are willing, I will give you the territory of Turk as a fief. You only need to visit Chang An every year and pay your respects to me on time. What do you say?¡± Zhi Ming thought for a moment and shook his head. ¡°Although I am on good terms with you, I am still a Turk. If I agree to your conditions, I am afraid my reputation will be in ruins.¡± Wu Ning smiled. So what if Zhiming Sili¡¯s reputations were in tatters? As a general, what did he care about being cussed out? Nobody would dare to do it right in front of him. If any daring soul would like to attempt, he merely had to kill that person. After all, there were more humans in the world than ever. ¡°As long as you agree, I¡¯ll make sure you get to eat hotpot for every meal,¡± Wu Ning said seductively. Hearing the words ¡°every meal¡± and ¡°hotpot¡±, Zhi Ming drooled, but he stood his ground, ¡°Eternal infamy just to have hotpot for every meal? You¡¯d have to provide kung pao chicken, roasted suckling pig, and blood curd, at the very least.¡± Wu Ning nodded. ¡°Done. As long as you do a good job of being the leader, I¡¯ll provide you with new dishes every year.¡± Thus, an agreement was reached. Zhi Ming Sili stayed in the Turkic kingdom to manage his people, while Wu Ning returned to his country. The attack on the Turkic kingdom had given Wu Ning countless treasures, enough to last his country for a few years. Thus, five years later, Wu Ning launched another war and annexed several neighboring countries. Wu Ning planned to unify this Otherworld before he ended his descent. Another twenty-five years passed. This was already the fifty-fifth year that Wu Ning had descended into the Otherworld. Wu Ning had finally unified the entire Otherworld. It was then he came up with the idea of a single language in the world. ¡°Ding! Congratulations Master, for unifying the Otherworld. You have obtained 100,000 Comprehension Points.¡± Hearing the mechanical voice in his mind, the corners of Wu Ning¡¯s mouth curled up into a smile. This year, Wu Ning returned to the imperial capital. All these years, he had been waging war outside, and it was all thanks to the empress dowager governing the country in his absence. Now, he had to return and finally spend some time with her mother. What she went through was tiring, none the least. Wu Ning accompanied the empress dowager in a stroll of the Imperial Garden, chatting about the difficult times they went through in exile. The empress dowager sighed emotionally. ¡°Fortunately, Huang Zhong knocked me unconscious and took me away. Otherwise, I would have been buried with you in the Imperial Palace.¡± Wu Ning smiled. In fact, even without Huang Zhong, he could have protected himself and the empress dowager. Nonetheless, Huang Zhong¡¯s loyalty was evident.. Chapter 29 - Record Breaker Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation On the sixty-fifth year since Wu Ning¡¯s arrival in the Otherworld, Wu Ning spent ten years with the empress dowager in the palace. When the empress dowager passed away, the entire country mourned. During the funeral, the emperor personally carried the coffin to the burial site. Three years later, Wu Ning used his old age as an excuse to cede the throne to the child of one of his royal brothers. After everything was arranged properly, Wu Ning packed his things and began his journey. After coming to the Otherworld, he spent most of his time waging wars and didn¡¯t manage to look for resources. Now that everything was arranged properly, it was time for him to go on an expedition. During his search, Wu Ning went to visit Zhiming Sili. He was so old that he couldn¡¯t eat hotpot anymore. Zhiming Sili looked at Wu Ning. Although Wu Ning had a head full of white hair now, his appearance did not change. Wu Ning cooked a few dishes for Zhiming Sili and left after the meal. Ten years later, Wu Ning had already traveled to every corner of the world. He also managed to locate all of the resources in the world. Wu Ning returned to the imperial palace and spent his time in peace and idleness. On this day, Wu Ning was sitting at the table and sipping tea as he looked at the formation mark. [Activating Formation Mark] [Name: Wu Ning] [Realm: Void Training Realm (Perfect)] [Attributes: Omniscience] [Law: Fire (Domain), Water, (Domain), Ice (Meaning), Laws of Reincarnation (Domain)] [Treasure: God-Slaying Wings (Broken)] [Base Technique: Level 7, Rank 8 Soul Palace] [Cultivation method: Tiger Hall Technique, All-life Technique, God-Slaying Technique, Non-Dragon Heart Technique (Complete)] [Evaluation: SSS Divine tier] [Reward: x6 descending quotas] [Treasure points: 78 million] The resources in this world allowed Wu Ning¡¯s treasure points to increase to 78 million. Since he was constantly at war, Wu Ning had seen many deaths allowing him to comprehend the true meaning of the law of reincarnation, which increased his comprehension points to 1.4 million. At this moment, the master of the Otherworld sent down its feedback. All these years, he had been fighting all around the place and unifying the Otherworld. The master knew what he had done and gave his feedback. Wu Ning¡¯s cultivation base at the pinnacle of Heavenly Dragon Realm began to rise rapidly and he closed his eyes to feel it. In just a moment, Wu Ning had advanced and he then looked at the formation mark in his hand. [Activating Formation Mark] [Name: Wu Ning] [Realm: Void Training Stage Dragon-Free Realm (Perfect)] [Attributes: Omniscience] [Law: Fire (Domain), Water, (Domain), Ice (Meaning), Law of Reincarnation (Domain)] [Treasure: God-Slaying Wings (Broken)] [Base Technique: Level 7, Rank 8 Soul Palace] [Cultivation method: Tiger Hall Technique, All-life Technique, God-Slaying technique, Non-Dragon Heart Technique (Complete)] [Evaluation: SSS Divine tier] [Reward: x6 descending quotas] [Treasure points: 78 million] He had finally surpassed the limits of this world. It seemed like his evaluation wouldn¡¯t be too low this time. Wu Ning continued sipping his tea. It was time for him to leave as there was no other reason to stay on. Wu Ning slowly closed his eyes, and his figure gradually disappeared. Inside the teleportation array, a white light swirled, and everyone¡¯s consciousness returned at the same time. Everyone subconsciously looked at the formation mark and Wu Ning did the same too. There was no other difference except that the number of treasure points increased a lot, from 78 million to 92 million. He seemed to have done a pretty good job this time. The corners of Wu Ning¡¯s mouth curled up, and he went to listen to everyone else¡¯s discussion. ¡°I was too unlucky this time. I was killed by someone after only descending for sixty years, and I only got a few tens of thousands of treasure points.¡± ¡°I was even unluckier than you. I encountered a robbery in the Otherworld, and all my treasure points were taken away. I am now left with only the points given by the array.¡± ¡°I was rather lucky. I stayed in the Otherworld for a hundred years peacefully, and I also searched a lot of resources. This time, I got more than five million treasure points.¡± ¡°Ah, I really envy you. I only managed to obtain more than one million treasure points. Including my cultivation, I only obtained a little more than three hundred.¡± Wu Ning listened to the discussions. Some were lucky, while some were not so fortunate. The ones who reaped many rewards were also stronger themselves while the ones who returned with nothing had nobody else to blame for their demise but themselves. Then, someone mentioned Wu Ning. ¡°Do you guys think that Wu Ning¡¯s evaluation this time will still be SSS?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think so. His previous two evaluations were SSS. If he wants to get an SSS evaluation again, the requirements will exponentially increase in difficulty.¡± ¡°I think he has a chance to receive that again. After all, he snagged two in the past. Getting a third should not be too difficult for him.¡± The arguments were endless. Some felt that Wu Ning had a shot at receiving the same evaluation again while others thought otherwise. However, it would be soon until the truth was revealed. Boom! Boom! Boom! The light pillar instantly enveloped most of the descenders in the array formation. This time, there was still no light pillar on Wu Ning¡¯s body. Everybody¡¯s gaze was focused on Wu Ning¡¯s body, and their eyes were filled with shock. ¡°No way, he¡¯s getting the SSS rating again?¡± ¡°Those who said he wouldn¡¯t get it can shove it up their butts!¡± ¡°Humph, he was just lucky. There will be no next time.¡± ¡°Lucky? Tell me how can one receive three SSS ratings and see it as mere luck?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Wu Ning got an SSS rating based on his strength, and you said it was only luck. I bet you couldn¡¯t even get an S rating even if you¡¯re given all the luck in the world.¡± The discussions went on, but no light pillar befell Wu Ning. Back when Wu Ning received an epic rating, it took the system only half a minute to give its verdict. However, it took much longer this time. Could it be that Wu Ning had broken another record again? All eyes were fixed on Wu Ning. At this time, the transmission array vibrated and a light pillar descended, surrounded by primal chaos. The pillar of golden light fell, with golden words inscribed within, and the voice of primal chaos began singing. [Congratulations to Descender Wu Ning for obtaining an SSS tier legendary evaluation, breaking the highest record of teleportation arrays, and obtaining five free descending quotas.] [Congratulations to Descender Wu Ning¡­] [Congratulations to Descender Wu Ning¡­] [¡­] The voice of the primal chaos resounded throughout the entire array.. Chapter 30 - Barren Rock City Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Wu Ning took a look at his formation mark. [Activating Formation Mark] [Name: Wu Ning] [Realm: Void Training Stage] [Attributes: Omniscience] [Law: Fire (Domain), Water, (Domain), Ice (Meaning), Law of Reincarnation (Domain)] [Treasure: God-Slaying Wings (Broken)] [Base Technique: Level 7, Rank 8 Soul Palace] [Cultivation method: Tiger Hall Technique, All-life Technique, God-Slaying technique, Non-Dragon Heart Technique (Complete)] [Evaluation: SSS Divine tier] [Reward: x12 descending quotas] [Treasure points: 78 million] The treasure given to him by the array formation was one of the wings of God-Slaying Wings. Now, there were three of them. However, judging from the structure of the wings, there were probably more of them, perhaps six, eight, or even ten wings in total. No matter how many wings they were, Wu Ning believed that he would one day gather all of them. Looking at his base cultivation technique, his soul palace had been stuck at Level 7, Rank 8 since the second time he descended. It had not improved as he did not receive many comprehension points during his third descent. Now that he had received fewer comprehension points during his descent, it seemed that he had to go to the outer realm battlefield as soon as possible. Otherwise, god knows how long he¡¯d had to wait to achieve Level 8 Soul Palace. Now that he had cultivated the laws of reincarnation to the domain level, he was unbeatable by all, except Saints. After returning to Yanyue Sect, Wu Ning did not immediately set off for the outer realm battlefield. Instead, he rested for two days in Yanyue Sect. Cultivating dao required one to have flexibility, not to be overly nervous nor relaxed. Wu Ning came to the treasure pavilion to see if there were any good stuff. Right now, his comprehension points were limited, but he had plenty of treasure points. Right now, other than the God-Slaying Wings, Wu Ning had no other treasures. He only had a token Yue Wumian had given him. It was said that with this token, Wu Ning could go to all parts of Yanyue Sect without any problems. Yue Wumian knew that Wu Ning did not really want to acknowledge him as his master as he had a higher goal. Moreover, Wu Ning might surpass him one day, and he would have to call him master instead. Therefore, he did not accept Wu Ning as his disciple but gave him much authority instead. In Yanyue Sect, seeing that token was like seeing Yue Wumian himself. Yue Wumian did not tell Wu Ning about this, so Wu Ning himself also did not know that this token had such great power. He only thought that it was just an ordinary token, something every disciple of Yanyue Sect had. Yue Wumian would¡¯ve yelled in frustration if he knew how Wu Ning thought of the token. It was true that every Yanyue Sect disciple had one, but theirs were ordinary tokens used only for entrance and exit. Now, Wu Ning came to the treasure pavilion and asked the elders who were in charge if there were any sword-type divine weapons. The weapons in this world were divided into Qi Condensation Treasures, Deification Treasures, Dao Treasures, Divine Weapons, Legendary Divine Weapons, and Epic Divine Weapons. Wu Ning wanted a Legendary Divine Weapon, but he didn¡¯t know if the treasure pavilion had one. The elder glanced at Wu Ning. ¡°Young man, do you have enough treasure points? Divine weapons? Even if you have enough points, you¡¯ll probably be robbed the moment you leave Yanyue Sect with your current strength. ¡°Listen to my advice. It¡¯s better to exchange for a Dao level treasure.¡± Wu Ning frowned. He knew that the elder was thinking for his sake, but he really needed a divine weapon right now. ¡°Just tell me if there¡¯s a sword-type divine weapon here,¡± Wu Ning insisted. Seeing that Wu Ning wouldn¡¯t listen, the elder became angry. ¡°Young man, I¡¯ve already told you, with your current cultivation level, you don¡¯t need a divine weapon. Moreover, if your divine weapon falls into the hands of the aliens, it will be a great loss for Yanyue Sect.¡± Wu Ning knew the elder wouldn¡¯t do it so he gave up. He then chose the Sunset Sword, a Dao-level sword-type weapon. After that, he went looking for Yue Wumian to bid farewell. Yue Wumian knew he couldn¡¯t stop Wu Ning from going to the outer realm battlefield and gifted him a sword-type divine weapon, the Dragon Form Sword. Wu Ning looked at the sword in his hand and sighed. If he had known earlier, he would have talked to Yue Wumian first. Who knew how much time he wasted going back and forth with the elder at the treasure pavilion. Wu Ning played with the Dragon Form Sword. The body of the sword was engraved with all kinds of dragon forms, and they looked different from each other. ¡°It¡¯s a good sword!¡± Wu Ning exclaimed. Yue Wumian looked at him with a smile. ¡°This is the sword that I used in the past. It¡¯s yours now. I hope that you can use it to make a name for yourself in this world. Don¡¯t tarnish its reputation, okay?¡± Wu Ning stroked the blade of the sword and nodded. What an amazing weapon. After Yue Wumian bade him farewell, Wu Ning headed straight for the outer realm battlefield. The origin continent¡¯s territory was extremely large. Even if Wu Ning traveled without any rest, coupled with the help of the God-Slaying Wings, it would still take him a year to travel from Yanyue Sect to the outer realm battlefield. Qingyang Empire. As the southernmost part of the human territory and an empire close to the outer realm battlefield, the Qingyang Empire would not be as peaceful as those empires in the hinterland of the human territory. Within the Qingyang Empire¡¯s territory, there were not many battles between the human race. However, because of the invasion of the alien warriors, they would often cause unimaginable chaos and massacre. However, it was precisely because of this that even though the Qingyang Empire looked barbaric and uncivilized, its martial prowess was unexpectedly powerful. Within the borders of the Qingyang Empire, especially in the cities close to the outer region battlefields, martial artists at the refined Void Realm and the Dao Realm could be seen almost everywhere. Even those at the Saint Realm would frequently appear. If such overall strength was placed in the scorching sun empire, it was likely that only Yanyue Sect could compare to it. It was said that the strength of the battle team¡¯s martial artists increased exponentially over the years. If the Qingyang Empire wasn¡¯t located close to the outer realm battlefield, it was likely that their overall strength would be no different from the Lieyang Empire. ¡®Right in front is Qingyang Empire¡¯s Barren Rock City. As long as we pass through the city, we will be able to enter the outer realm battlefield after walking another ten thousand miles or so,¡¯ Wu Ning thought to himself while high in the sky. Perhaps with battles happening almost constantly, the surrounding area of Barren Rock City was so barren it looked like a desert. In fact, there were even the carcasses of some living beings in many places around the city. The barren land without a single blade of grass, coupled with the white bones that could be seen, immediately made the surroundings of the desolate stone city seem rather spooky. ¡°Who are you?¡± A stern shout suddenly sounded, followed by a group of armored soldiers rapidly flying towards Wu Ning. ¡°Who are you?¡± In just a short moment, the pair of soldiers had already arrived in front of Wu Ning. The leading soldier in silver armor stared at Wu Ning warily as he asked in a stern voice. As he asked, the soldier continuously sized up Wu Ning.. Chapter 31 - Demon Warriors Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Saint Realm¡­¡±Wu Ning glanced at the soldier but did not immediately answer his question. Instead, he was slightly puzzled. In the Qingyang Empire, a Dao cultivator could already become the master of a city. Only a bustling city with a huge population and a huge land area would allow a Saint Realm cultivator to oversee it. However, in this desolate stone city, the leader of a random soldier actually possessed the cultivation of Saint Realm. This really surprised Wu Ning. ¡°You can actually see through my cultivation. Who exactly are you, and what are you doing here?¡± Although Wu Ning¡¯s voice was very soft, the soldier heard it. Although Wu Ning was only at Level 9 of the Void Training Realm, yet he could actually see through his cultivation with a glance. The soldier became very alert. The soldier could clearly sense that Wu Ning was only a Void Training Realm cultivator, yet he knew his level at one glance. Something was amiss. ¡°My name is Wu Ning, and I am headed for the outer realm battlefield. I happened to pass by the city and bring no ill intentions,¡± Wu Ning replied. ¡°After passing through Barren Rock City, walking for another ten thousand miles will take you to the outer realm battlefield. However, due to the curfew, there hasn¡¯t been any human camp encampment around Barren Rock City recently,¡± the soldier said, then turned his body slightly to let Wu Ning pass. Wu Ning was slightly stunned. From the soldier¡¯s body language, he wanted Wu Ning to leave. However, he had to admit that the soldier¡¯s attitude was a little different from what he had expected. However, at a glance, the wariness in his eyes didn¡¯t disappear at all. ¡°Why are you so wary of me?¡± Wu Ning asked. The soldier¡¯s excessive wariness had aroused Wu Ning¡¯s curiosity. It must be known that there were many martial artists from the human race entering the outer realm battlefields. There were people who went to the outer realm battlefields every day like Wu Ning. The extra vigilance was rather unusual. Unless something happened in Barren Rock City, or if there was something wrong with him, he had not noticed it. ¡°Because I am unable to determine your identity,¡± that soldier said bluntly. ¡°Although you appear to be a martial artist with only the cultivation of Level 9 Void Training Realm, you can see through my cultivation with a glance¡­ I can¡¯t confirm the true level of your cultivation.¡± ¡°But I am a human. There is no doubt about this.¡± Wu Ning said. That soldier shook his head and said, ¡°There are many ways for an alien cultivator to conceal their own aura and disguise themself as a human. If your true cultivation is lower than mine, I can be sure that you are a human, but as long as you conceal your aura, I can not be sure.¡± It was precisely because of this that he was so vigilant the moment he heard Wu Ning mention his cultivation. When Wu Ning heard it, he smiled helplessly. He had only said it casually and did not expect to come off in an unintended manner. The soldier continued, ¡°Although I am very willing to believe that you are a warrior of our human race, we have to be vigilant and not make any mistakes during the curfew. Otherwise, millions of human lives in Barren Rock City are in danger. So before I can confirm your identity, I can¡¯t let you into the city. Please return after the curfew is lifted and look for me then. I, Gu Liao, will apologize to you personally.¡± Wu Ning shook his head and said, ¡°There¡¯s no need for that. You guys are just doing your job.¡± If Wu Ning had been a little dissatisfied with Gu Liao before, he had nothing but respect for the soldier now. Gu Liao was truly an outstanding soldier. His ability to carry out his duties was a blessing for the millions of people in Barren Rock City. Gu Liao cupped his fists towards Wu Ning. ¡°Thank you for your understanding.¡± Although he was still wary towards Wu Ning, it was much better than before. Wu Ning was about to wave his hand and bid him farewell when he suddenly stopped. Gu Liao¡¯s expression also turned cold. ¡°Those b*stards came whenever they can. It wasn¡¯t even two years when the army left!¡± Gu Liao could not help but curse. He then turned to Wu Ning and said, ¡°Wu Ning, right? Although I can¡¯t let you enter the city, I can¡¯t allow you to be in danger. You¡¯ll have to follow me and I¡¯ll guarantee your safety, but you mustn¡¯t do anything. Otherwise, I¡¯ll kill you immediately. Or, you can leave now.¡± As soon as Gu Liao finished speaking, a large group of warriors that looked similar to humans flew over from Wu Ning¡¯s side. However, their auras were different from a human¡¯s. There were more than a thousand warriors in that group. All of them were demon warriors. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about me. I won¡¯t enter the city,¡± Wu Ning replied. However, his eyes remained fixated on those demon warriors. This was the first time Wu Ning had seen a demon warrior. ¡°Take care,¡± Gu Liao said to Wu Ning. Then, he quickly returned to Barren Rock City with the group of soldiers. ¡°The demon race is attacking¡­¡± ¡°Everyone, gather at the north city gate immediately. Hurry, hurry¡­¡± Waves of hurried voices came from Barren Rock City. Then, a large group of soldiers marched out in order. In just a moment, tens of thousands of soldiers had gathered in front of the north city gate. ¡°Two at Saint Realm, while most of the ordinary soldiers are at Dao Realm. The lowest cultivation is at Level 5 Void Training Realm. The strength of Barren Rock City is incredible.¡± Wu Ning scanned those soldiers with his divine soul, and he had some understanding of their cultivation. Wu Ning looked at the demon warriors again. ¡°There are more than twenty demon warriors at Saint Realm. It seems that the cultivation of these demon warriors is rather high too.¡± ¡°Team one and two attack the demon warriors immediately. The other seven teams guard the city. We must not let any demons into the city. ¡°In the sky, a strong man holding a saber shouted loudly. ¡°Understood!¡± Immediately, tens of thousands of soldiers answered in unison. In the next moment, the warriors of the Saint Realm led two teams and rushed towards the demon warriors. The rest of the soldiers stood in formation and defended the entire north gate. The two teams of soldiers, led by two Saint Realm warriors, changed their formation, turning into a cone. Wu Ning¡¯s eyes lit up when he saw the white light on the bodies of the soldiers. It must be some kind of combined attack formation that gathered all the strength of the soldiers on the Saint Realm experts in front of them. The light enveloped the entire team like a giant cone. It charged toward the demon martial artists who were flying toward them. The demon warriors suddenly stopped. A three-eyed, tall demon cultivator rushed out from the formation. Boom boom boom¡­. Chapter 32 - Battle of the Saints Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation In an instant, the demon warrior and the two groups of people from Barren Rock City clashed. In just a short while, the demon warrior was sent flying by the force of more than a thousand people. At this time, a green-skinned demon warrior rushed out again. It seemed to have higher cultivation than the three-eyed demon warrior. It stood its ground but was locked in a stalemate with the human warriors. ¡°Interesting. A group of Deity Transformation Realm and Dao Realm soldiers formed a thousand-man team. With only a Saint Realm warrior in the lead, they were able to break through to the Level 1 Saint Realm warrior and even defeated it. Even that Level 2 Saint Realm warrior is under great pressure in the face of such an attack.¡± Wu Ning watched the battle from afar with a smile on his face. Before the demon warriors made their move, he could not sense the green-skinned demon¡¯s cultivation. When they attacked, only then could Wu Ning tell that the green-skinned demon warrior was a Level 2 Saint Realm. Wu Ning looked at the human warriors again. At this time, the three Level 1 Saints of Barren Rock City all had solemn expressions on their faces. ¡°Even if this demon warrior isn¡¯t at Level 2 Saint Realm, he¡¯s still extremely powerful among Level 1 Saints. We¡¯re in for a fight.¡± One of the three Saints said with a frown, his voice extremely solemn. ¡°He should be a Level 2 Saint Realm, but it¡¯s not like he can¡¯t be dealt with.¡± Another saint continued, ¡°This is the territory of the human race. As long as we can hold them off, these demon warriors will die when our legendary warriors arrive. They should understand this and wouldn¡¯t spend too much time fighting us.¡± ¡°We¡¯ll try to delay their time. After an hour, even if the legendary warriors do not arrive, they will retreat on their own.¡± ¡°Gu Liao, later on, you will go and assist in the retreat. Their strength has already been depleted by more than half. If the demons remain, they will definitely die,¡± one of the Saint Realm warriors ordered. Gu Liao hurriedly replied, ¡°Yes, sir!¡± ¡°Oh right, is that young man over there a human warrior too?¡± One of the Saints pointed at Wu Ning and asked. Gu Liao only remembered Wu Ning when he was asked. He turned his head to look in Wu Ning¡¯s direction because his attention had been on the demons. He had almost forgotten about Wu Ning¡¯s existence. Moreover, he had thought that Wu Ning would leave. But he didn¡¯t expect that not only did Wu Ning remain, but he was also actually enjoying the battle as if it was a show. ¡°General Wei, Wu Ning¡¯s his name. As for whether he is a human warrior, I¡¯m not sure. Wu Ning only has the cultivation of the Level 9 Void Training Realm, but the strange thing is that he can actually see through my cultivation with a single glance.¡± Gu Liao paused, then continued, ¡°He should be a human. If he is a demon warrior, he should at least have the cultivation of a Level 1 Saint. Only by borrowing the demon race¡¯s demon concealing pill can he conceal his own demonic qi.¡± ¡°Moreover, if he¡¯s a Level 1 Saint, he might have already made his move. He clearly knows that he can¡¯t conceal his identity and enter the city, so why should he hide? ¡°As for the fact that he can see through my cultivation base with a glance, I think he hails from somewhere prominent. He probably interacts with Saints on a daily basis. Therefore, he can judge my cultivation base based on intuition.¡± The three Saint Realm generals all nodded and felt that Gu Liao¡¯s analysis was reasonable. General Wei glanced at Wu Ning and saw that his expression couldn¡¯t be any more indifferent. ¡°Probably a fresher from a prominent force checking out the real world.¡± ¡°Unfortunately, the outer realm battlefield isn¡¯t a place for an untested kid.¡± Another saint could not help but say in disdain, ¡°Looking at that kid¡¯s calm expression, I guess he thought that even if he was in danger, there would be an elder who would descend from the sky to save him, like usual. In a place where it¡¯s vicious and cruel, his relaxed expression really grinds my gear.¡± However, his words were full of sarcasm, and it was difficult to detect that he was disappointed. ¡°When we have the chance, we will take care of him. After all, he is also a member of the human clan,¡± General Wei said. While they were talking, the halo around the team that was entangled with the green-skinned demon warrior started getting dimmer. General Wei glanced at Gu Liao. Gu Liao received the order and immediately led a reinforcement team forward. Gu Liao took the lead and rushed out, followed closely by the soldiers behind them. The two groups of soldiers had a tacit understanding. When the previous wave of soldiers retreated, Gu Liao¡¯s team immediately went forward. However, even if they retreated, their long spears remained on guard, ready for whatever¡¯s to come. They were always aimed at the demon warriors, ready to fight again at any time. ¡°Although this damned array is simple, it¡¯s very powerful.¡± The green-skinned warrior cursed in his heart, ¡°Bowen, are you dead? If you¡¯re not dead, then charge forward with your men!¡± Bowen was the three-eyed demon warrior. ¡°Green Demon, no matter how weak I am, I am still a Level 1 Saint Realm warrior. How can I die at the hands of a group of ants?¡± As the voice rang out, the Level 1 Saint Realm demon warrior had already flown to the front of the demon team. ¡°You injured me and now you want to retreat? Do you think I¡¯d allow it?¡± He looked at the soldiers who were rapidly retreating. ¡°Demon warriors, kill! Charge into Barren Rock City and slaughter all humans!¡± Bowen shouted loudly. After giving the order, all the demon warriors madly charged at the retreating soldiers. Gu Liao ordered the second team to quickly retreat. The first team was holding on for the time being, while the third team led by him was still in a stalemate with the green demon. The first team had been in a stalemate with the green demon lord for too long and had consumed too much energy. They had to retreat, or they would undoubtedly die. The first team had only clashed with Demon Lord Bowen, so their energy consumption was still manageable. ¡°Retreat while fighting! Defend the city gates! No demons can enter the city!¡± General Wei ordered loudly. ¡°Even if we die in battle, we must not allow any demon warriors to enter the city!¡± Another saint looked at the soldiers and roared. ¡°We will guard Barren Rock City to death!¡± The long spears in the hands of the thousands of soldiers shook as they replied in unison. Their force was so great that it could be described as earth-shaking. The three saints looked at each other and joined the battle. General Wei fought with Bowen while the other two Level 1 saints fought the Green Demon. They didn¡¯t care about the remaining demons, nor did they have the strength to care about them. They were taken care of by their troops. Soldier versus soldier and general versus general, as how it should be on a battlefield. In a short moment, Saint Realm Warriors of both sides were already fighting together. However, the saints made sure the battlefield of both sides was shifted further away to prevent their battle between the Saints from affecting their troops.. Chapter 33 - Wu Ning Makes His Move Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Wu Ning watched the battle between the Saints in the distance, happening on an earth-shattering scale. The battle among the rest of the troops was just as violent. However, in just a moment, more than half of the soldiers on the human side had been injured or killed. On the other hand, the demon soldiers were all at Dao Realm. There were also more than twenty Saint Realm warriors, and their casualties were a little less than half of the human warriors. Now, the human soldiers were relying on their numerical advantage to forcefully block these demon soldiers and prevent them from entering Barren Rock City. Wu Ning watched the battle and suddenly moved. He wanted to help the human soldiers. No matter what, he was a member of the human race. Naturally, he could not just watch the human warriors die at the hands of the demon warriors. Although they had nothing to do with him, they were humans, and he, Wu Ning, was also a member of the human race. If this was just a fight between the human race and he was just an individual, he couldn¡¯t care less. However, in front of the demon race and the alien race, Wu Ning represented not only himself but also the human race. His involvement was duly expected. Not to mention that the group of soldiers and guards were guarding Barren Rock City. Wu Ning was impressed by their spirit for standing ground even in the face of danger. Wu Ning came to the top of the demon soldiers. The eight trigrams and Taiji diagram grew under his feet and gradually grew stronger. ¡°Retreat, retreat, quickly retreat¡­¡± Some demon warriors sensed the might of the eight trigrams and began to retreat. However, how could Wu Ning let them leave just like that? His eyes were like a furnace as two purple lightning bolts shot out and hit the demon warriors in the trigrams. For a moment, most of the demon warriors in the trigrams were hit by the god-slaying technique. They all held their heads and shouted, now, their souls were in a mess. The demons couldn¡¯t even stand their ground, let alone escape. After all, the God-Slaying Technique was used to sever souls. ¡°This¡­¡± ¡°That person is helping us?¡± The soldiers of Barren Rock City, who were slow to react, finally recovered from the sudden attack. ¡°Bro Wu Ning, I¡¯m sorry about what happened before. I am grateful for your help.¡± Gu Liao, who had come into contact with Wu Ning before, shouted at Wu Ning, then he ordered, ¡°Comrades, hold on to these bastards. Don¡¯t let them leave the trigram!¡± ¡°Yes, sir!¡± The soldiers shouted in unison. The soldiers of Barren Rock City found a renewed sense of strength as they charged at the retreating demon warriors. For a moment, the situation at the city gate changed greatly. The demons who had taken the initiative to attack earlier were now fleeing frantically. With a thought, Wu Ning began to draw away the lives of the demon warriors in the trigram. At this moment, the soldiers in Barren Rock City witnessed demon warriors falling out from the trigrams. Each of their corpses was intact, and there were no wounds on their bodies. If it were somebody else, they would probably think that these demon warriors had just fallen asleep. There were about three hundred demons who had escaped. Wu Ning did not bother with them and handed them over to the soldiers of Barren Rock City. If the soldiers of Barren Rock City could not even defeat three hundred demon warriors, then they deserved to die. ¡°Although I don¡¯t know you well, I want to thank you for helping Barren Rock City.¡± In the distance, General Wei, who was fighting with Bowen, looked at the situation in front of the city gate and thanked Wu Ning. He and Bowen were both Level 1 Saints, but he had Bowen under his control, so he could still fight with him with ease. ¡°Ding! Congratulations Master for killing a large number of demon warriors. You have obtained 230,000 Comprehension Points.¡± It seemed like his result wasn¡¯t too shabby, allowing him to obtain 2.3 million comprehension points. The corners of Wu Ning¡¯s mouth curled up into a smile. He still had a long way to go. When the human soldiers saw the scene before them, they were all shocked. They simply could not believe their eyes. An unknown warrior had slaughtered the demon warriors that they had to fight with their lives with ease. Wu Ning left immediately after turning the tide of the battle and went toward the battle between the Saints. Wu Ning was the first to arrive at the battle between General Wei and Bowen. General Wei had admired Wu Ning a moment ago, but now he only wanted to scold Wu Ning. He said angrily, ¡°What are you doing here? Are you here to die? Hurry up and go back!¡± Wu Ning ignored him. He took advantage of the time when General Wei was holding Bowen back and quickly used the laws of reincarnation. Even though General Wei had Bowen under control, General Wei¡¯s injuries increased while Bowen¡¯s wounds were non-fatal. Although Wu Ning¡¯s laws of reincarnation was a supreme law and was extremely powerful, the gap between Wu Ning and the Saint was too big. Therefore, he could only use the reincarnation law while the two of them were in a stalemate. Just as Wu Ning¡¯s trigrams enveloped him, Bowen finally noticed it. Bowen used his full strength to break Wu Ning¡¯s attack. However, Wu Ning didn¡¯t expect this attack to kill Bowen. The moment the domain of the laws of reincarnation was broken, Wu Ning¡¯s eyes shot out two purple lightning-like beams of light. The purple light struck Bowen¡¯s head and invaded Bowen¡¯s conscience. Wu Ning saw Bowen¡¯s Soul Palace. He didn¡¯t expect that a Level 1 Saint could only cultivate to Level 6 of the Soul Palace. However, Wu Ning didn¡¯t think about it. With the help of the system, he had to exchange for high-level herbs to upgrade his soul every time he descended, and that was how he reached the Level 7 of the Soul Palace. How could ordinary people have so many treasure points to buy heavenly and earthly treasures to upgrade their soul? After collecting some points, he went to the teleportation array to descend. Wu Ning began to control the God-Slaying Technique and wreaked havoc in Bowen¡¯s Soul Palace. Bowen held his head and cried out in pain. Wu Ning took this opportunity to use the law of reincarnation again, quickly stripping Bowen of his vitality. When Wu Ning withdrew the law of reincarnation, General Wei was so shocked speechless seeing Bowen¡¯s body. If it was someone else who killed Bowen, who was at Level 1 of the Saint Realm, General Wei might not have had such a huge response. However, Wu Ning was only at the Void Training. He did not even have the cultivation of Deity Transformation Realm, let alone Dao Realm. After crossing such a huge gap, he actually killed Bowen, who was at Saint Realm. Even in this era where laws were respected, there was still a huge gap between the cultivation of Void Training and Saint Realm. This completely shocked General Wei as he had not expected somebody in Void Training Realm to kill a Saint Realm warrior. Wu Ning did not care about General Wei¡¯s shock. He listened to the mechanical voice in his mind, ¡°Ding! Master has killed a Saint Realm demon warrior and obtained 100,000 Comprehension Points.¡± He did not expect to obtain so many comprehension points for killing a demon warrior. Perhaps he should start hunting low-level Saint Realm demon warriors to boost his comprehension points. On the other side, the two saints realized the situation and let out a sigh of relief. Although this battle still depended on the outcome of the battle between the saints, it did not mean that the soldiers could not affect the battle. If the soldiers of Barren Rock City won, then the remaining thousands of soldiers, together with the saints, would definitely have a devastating impact on the remaining two saints. If the demons won, then the result would be reversed. On the battlefield of saints, there might be a small number of Deity Transformation and Dao Realm soldiers who could not do much. However, if there were thousands of soldiers, even if their cultivation was not high, they could still affect the battle to a large extent.. Chapter 34 - Chasing After The Saint Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Previously, although the soldiers of Barren Rock City had stopped the demon warriors from entering the city, the demon warriors had the advantage. It was just a matter of time before the soldiers crumbled in total defeat. However, now that Wu Ning had made a move, the situation was instantly reversed. Now, the human warriors were chasing after the demon warriors. The remaining demon warriors who had been killed by Wu Ning were all at least at Level 3. However, when everyone looked at the battlefield, none of the demons dared to charge forward. ¡°Comrades, we aren¡¯t done killing the demons. Now is not the time to cheer.¡± At this moment, Gu Liao shouted loudly, ¡°Listen up! Form a charging formation and assist the three generals in killing the demons!¡± ¡°Team One, Listen Up! Form a killing formation¡­¡± ¡°Team Four, listen up¡­¡± ¡°Team Five, listen up¡­¡± As orders rang out, the human warriors continuously changed their positions. In just a few seconds, thousands of soldiers formed several formations and formed a huge cone. They could charge at any time. Wu Ning and General Wei went to the other two Saints and joined the battle. The Green Demon knew that he could not defeat the three Level 1 Saints. Now that they still had thousands of soldiers to help him, it would be even harder for him to win. Thus, he fought while retreating, and in the end, he simply ran away. ¡°That demon lord has run away. Should we chase after him?¡± One of the Saints asked. ¡°There¡¯s no use in chasing after him. In just a short while, they will be able to escape to the outer realm battlefield. We cannot predict what will happen next. Moreover, we don¡¯t know if they have reinforcements.¡± ¡°If they don¡¯t, then that¡¯s fine. But if they do, then chasing after them would be tantamount to sending ourselves to our deaths.¡± General Wei concluded. Clearly, he had no intention of chasing after that demon lord. They didn¡¯t want to but someone else did. Right now, in Wu Ning¡¯s eyes, the Green Demon was a source of points. As soon as General Wei finished speaking, Wu Ning charged out, frightening the general with his speed. ¡°General, is that person who just flew out Wu Ning?¡± One of the Saints asked General Wei. Although Wu Ning¡¯s speed was very fast, how could he not have seen Wu Ning as a Level 1 Saint? However, wasn¡¯t this a little too frightening? This person at Void Training Realm could not only kill a Level 1 Saint, but his flying speed was also comparable to a Level 1 Saint. Was this really something that Void Training martial artist could do? ¡°It¡¯s him,¡± General Wei replied in a deep voice. He was lost in thought as he watched Wu Ning¡¯s figure disappear into the distance. ¡°The outer realm battlefield will not be peaceful anymore.¡± After a long while, General Wei snapped out of his daze and suddenly sighed dramatically. ¡°General, what do you mean? When has the outer realm battlefield ever been peaceful?¡± A saint asked doubtfully. When had a place that was filled with slaughter and blood ever been peaceful? ¡°When I say it¡¯s not peaceful, it¡¯s not as simple as you think,¡± General Wei said. ¡°The outer realm battlefield is indeed filled with battles and slaughterings every day, but that¡¯s all there is to it. If you say it¡¯s not peaceful, then it¡¯s not even considered peaceful. Only the appearance of a monster can stir up a storm, just like that elder.¡± ¡°That elder, general, don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re talking about that one?¡± Just hearing the word ¡®elder¡¯ sent the two Saints into shock. The elder was truly an influential figure. At that time, the entire outer realm battlefield was in chaos because of him. Every time the alien warriors heard the elder¡¯s name, they would be scared out of their wits. When that elder was still on the outer realm battlefield, the Qingyang Empire had never had a situation where the demon race wanted to invade a city. It was not that they did not want to, but they did not dare. Moreover, at that time, the alien¡¯s attention was all on that elder. They weren¡¯t looking at invading cities. ¡°General, this person is so terrifying. Could he have come from the Holy Land? Only the Holy Land can nurture such a terrifying monster. He could kill a Saint Realm martial artist just by relying on his Void Training Realm,¡± one of the Saints gulped and asked. Wu Ning was such a terrifying character. General Wei shook his head. He wasn¡¯t sure either. The three Saints stopped their discussions. They returned to Barren Rock City to check on the dead demon warriors. The remaining demon warriors were almost exterminated by the soldiers led by Gu Liao. Only a few top Saint Realm demon race warriors were barely surviving, which the three Saints casually dealt with. General Wei led everyone to the mountain of corpses formed by the demon warriors that Wu Ning had killed. They were puzzled. Why were there no scars on the bodies of these demon warriors? No matter how profound the laws were, there would still be scars on the corpses when they were killed. That was, unless their souls were destroyed. To crush the demon warriors¡¯ souls, one had to have at least the cultivation of the Saint King realm. Only after reaching the Level 8 Soul Palace could one kill others with their soul. The three Saints looked at each other. If they had previously doubted Wu Ning¡¯s identity, they were convinced now. Other than the monstrous Wu Ning, there was probably no one in the entire human race who could kill hundreds of demon warriors silently. ¡°Gu Liao, pass down the order. No one is allowed to say anything about Wu Ning, not even to their family members. If anyone says anything, I will personally chop his head off,¡± General Wei ordered. ¡°Understood!¡± Although Gu Liao was puzzled, he would not disobey the general¡¯s orders as military orders were absolute. ¡°Such monstrous existence is something that even we humans rarely encounter in a thousand years. If he dies because of us, even our deaths are worthless. After all, our lives couldn¡¯t compare to his.¡± ¡°Do you think Wu Ning can kill that Green Demon Lord?¡±A Saint martial artist suddenly asked. ¡°With Wu Ning¡¯s strength, once that Green Demon is caught, he will definitely die. However, Wu Ning¡¯s speed is still flawed. If that Green Demon only thinks of escaping, Wu Ning will probably have a hard time catching up,¡± another Saint analyzed. However, General Wei shook his head and said, ¡°Green Demon is dead for sure. The three of us did not follow, and only Wu Ning is chasing after them. Are they willing to be chased all the time? If a Saint Realm demon does not retaliate against a mere Void Training Realm martial artist, his reputation would be ruined.¡± Hearing these words, the other Saint could not help but laugh. How could a dignified Saint Realm demon lord be chased by a Void Training Realm martial artist and not fight back? It was likely that as soon as that Green Demon discovered that only Wu Ning was pursuing him, he would immediately turn around and kill him. However, when he discovered how powerful Wu Ning was, it was likely that he would not even have the chance to regret it.. Chapter 35 - Killing The Saint Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation In fact, the situation was exactly as General Wei had predicted. When the Green Demon realized that Wu Ning was the only one chasing after him, he immediately turned around, wanting to kill Wu Ning instead. How dare a Void Training Realm Martial Artist go after a Saint Realm Demon Cultivator. This greatly shocked the Green Demon. However, when he turned around to kill Wu Ning, something even more shocking happened. He was a demon lord of the Saint Realm, but he could not defeat a human of the Void Training Realm. It would be a great shame and humiliation if word got out. ¡°Kid, do not blame me for being ruthless and unforgiving,¡± said the Green Demon with a sinister smile. Wu Ning stopped and looked at him. He did not say anything, but only cast the God-Slaying Technique with his eyes. The Green Demon was enraged. He never suffered such humiliation. Even warriors of the same level of the demon race would address him as the lord. This human was only a warrior of the Void Training Realm, how dared he looked down on the Green Demon! The Green Demon was so angered by Wu Ning that he lost his mind. He did not dodge but instead flew up to meet the God-Slaying Technique. The laws of fire attacked and hit the God-Slaying Technique. However, the attack of the God-Slaying Technique did not dissipate because of the attack of the laws of fire. Instead, it went right through the laws of fire and headed straight for Green Demon. Green Demon turned sideways and narrowly avoided the attack. Sensing the aura on it, he felt a lingering fear. It seemed that he had underestimated the human. This attack actually made his heart palpitate. The Green Demon¡¯s expression turned solemn and he dared not attack without giving it some thought. It was Wu Ning¡¯s first time facing a Saint Realm martial artist alone. Although he killed Bowen before, it was General Wei who helped him restrain Bowen¡¯s attack then. In addition to the sneak attack, he was able to take Bowen down with his strike. Without any reinforcements and the Green Demon a much stronger entity than Bowen, Wu Ning was rather concerned. He took out the Dragon Form Sword from his interspatial ring and used his spirit energy to inscribe the laws of reincarnation on the sword before striking out. Green Demon did not dare to be careless and also took out his weapon to fight with Wu Ning. As they fought, the Green Demon felt something wrong. The black and white aura on Wu Ning¡¯s sword could actually devour his law patterns. One had to know that Wu Ning¡¯s law of reincarnation was a supreme law, and his law was only one of the three thousand ordinary laws. No matter what law it was among the three thousand laws, it had to bow its head in the face of the supreme law. The three thousand laws were subordinate to the original consciousness, and the supreme law far surpassed the original consciousness. The two fought for an hour, but it was difficult to determine the victor. Green Demon¡¯s cultivation level was higher than Wu Ning¡¯s but on the flip side, Wu Ning¡¯s mastery of the laws was better than Green Demon. Green Demon suddenly stopped, as Wu Ning looked at him in confusion. He chuckled and said, ¡°Kid, if we continue our fight, we might not be able to determine the victor even if we fight for another two days. How about we stop fighting here? I¡¯ll go back to my demon race, and you go back to your human race. How about it?¡± Wu Ning frowned as he looked at the Green Demon he knew that what he said made sense. If they continued their fighting, a victor wouldn¡¯t be known for days. Thus, Wu Ning¡¯s body suddenly transformed into a trigram. Previously, he had used the power of reincarnation to create the trigrams when he did not kill any enemies. This time, his entire body transformed into a trigram. Its power was incomparable. When the Green Demon saw Wu Ning transformed into a Taiji diagram, he had no idea what was happening. He only thought to himself that the laws that Wu Ning had comprehended were too strange. He had seen many people comprehend laws such as gold, wood, water, fire, earth, and other basic laws. There were also laws such as thunder, ice, and wind, laws that were not rare. But he had never seen such a strange law that could actually allow a person to transform into a trigram. The trigram emitted an extremely terrifying aura, causing the Green Demon to instinctively run. His body told him that he was absolutely no match for the trigram. The Green Demon wanted to believe his own intuition, so after he had this feeling, he immediately circulated his spirit energy in an attempt to escape. But how could Wu Ning let him escape? He directly struck out with several God-Slaying Techniques, blocking the Green Demon¡¯s path of retreat. The Green Demon now felt that he was trapped. It was impossible for him to escape now. However, even if he was going to die today, he would not let the people who killed him get off too easily. Green Demon decisively chose to self-destruct. He did not expect that the mighty Green Demon of the demon race would be forced to self-destruct by a small human warrior, Green Demon thought miserably. How could Wu Ning let him self-destruct? If he self-destructed, then he would not be able to obtain even a single comprehension point after working so hard for so long. When the Green Demon self-destructed, the trigram suddenly increased in size, enveloping the Green Demon. Then, with a thought, he extracted the white gas that represented life from his body. When Wu Ning¡¯s figure appeared again, the Green Demon¡¯s corpse rapidly collapsed. The power of the sacred body in his body had already been obliterated by Wu Ning, so the moment the Green Demon¡¯s body touched the ground, it crumbled into ash. Wu Ning looked at the corpse on the ground and casually summoned the laws of fire to burn it, so as not to disgust the passing martial artists. After the Green Demon died, Wu Ning thought for a moment. This Saint Realm was indeed terrifying. With his current ability, he could only cross ranks to kill a Level 2 Saint. In front of a Level 3 or 4 Saint, he could only run away. If he was chased by a Level 5 Saint, it would be very difficult for him to escape. After the Saint Realm, it was different from the Saint King. Saints were divided into five levels. There was no realm after Level 5. After the Level 5 Saint was the Saint King. However, if one wanted to become a Saint King, they had to create their own absolute laws. Only then could they be considered a Saint King Realm expert. Right now, Wu Ning was still far from the Saint King Realm. He did not need to worry about these things. Wu Ning looked at his comprehension points. Killing a Level 2 Saint gave him 15 comprehension points, and his treasure points had increased from 78 million to 78.25 million. He had first killed hundreds of demon martial artists in the Dharma Realm, and a few of them were called Saint Realm martial artists. Then, he killed a Level 1 Saint martial artist, and now, he killed a Level 2 Saint, Green Demon, the total comprehension points and treasure points he had obtained before and after were less than a million. This shocked Wu Ning very much. One had to know that he needed a million comprehension points to exchange for a bottle of Divine Soul Dragon Liquid. This way, he would have to kill countless foreign martial artists to accumulate enough comprehension points to buy a bottle of Divine Soul Dragon Liquid. Wu Ning looked at the vast world in front of him and smiled bitterly. He only wanted to go to the outer realm battlefield to train, but he had forgotten to buy a map of the outer realm battlefield. The outer realm battlefields were abnormally vast. However, not many people knew how vast they were, yet no one wanted to know. Now, Wu Ning only knew that the outer realm battlefields were at the southernmost part of the origin continent. The other areas were occupied by the races of the origin continent. The top races: humans, demons, monsters, and divines occupied most of the areas. The other races only lived in remote areas where resources were scarce to survive. Almost every race¡¯s territory was connected to the outer realm battlefield. It was also the reason why the outer realm battlefield could easily gather warriors of different races.. Chapter 36 - Robbery Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Without a map, Wu Ning decided on a random direction and set off. As long as he didn¡¯t turn back, he would be able to reach the outer realm battlefield no matter which direction he went. To be precise, he was already out of the outer realm battlefield, but at the periphery. Wu Ning commanded the God-Slaying Wings to fly forward rapidly. Soon, a red lake appeared in front of him. He stopped and looked at the lake. He had flown for so long and almost reached the outer realm battlefield, yet why hadn¡¯t he seen a single warrior? That¡¯s weird. The outer realm battlefield should be the place where most warriors would gather. Wu Ning landed, planning to take a look. This place was really too quiet. There wasn¡¯t a single person in sight. Just as Wu Ning started exploring, something suddenly rushed out of the lake. Wu Ning was startled and hurriedly retreated. When Wu Ning stood still, he focused his gaze and saw a large snake-shaped beast. It must be the reason why nobody was around. Only the head of this snake-shaped demonic beast looked human. The rest of its body was that of a snake¡¯s. Both man and beast sized each other up. ¡°Human, are you here to court death?¡± Seeing that Wu Ning was only at Void Training Realm and was actually here to challenge the outer realm battlefield, the snake-shaped demonic beast could not help but ask. After all, the lowest cultivation that came to challenge the outer battlefield was at least Dao level. Now that a human at Void Training Realm suddenly appeared, this puzzled the Demon Lord Anmang very much as it was pretty much a suicide mission. Wu Ning sighed. After everyone sensed his cultivation, they all thought that he was here to seek death. He was too lazy to explain and directly struck out two God-Slaying Technique. It wasn¡¯t that Wu Ning was bloodthirsty. However, since he was in the outer realm battlefield, he had to be on guard¡ªeven around humans. Demon Lord Anmang had also been in the outer realm battlefield for a long time, so his reaction was also extremely fast. He dodged Wu Ning¡¯s attack. ¡°What are you doing? I¡¯m talking to you. Why did you suddenly attack?¡± Demon Lord Anmang was angered by Wu Ning¡¯s sudden attack. Wu Ning snorted coldly. ¡°Those who are not of my race certainly treat me differently. The human race¡¯s territory is extremely advanced in this place. Aren¡¯t you afraid of being killed by human warriors?¡± Demon Monarch Anmang shook his head. ¡°I¡¯m hiding under the Crimson Lake. As long as I don¡¯t come out, only a Saint King Realm warrior can discover me. Otherwise, a mere Saint Realm warrior wouldn¡¯t be able to discover me at all.¡± ¡°But you, a mere Level 9 Void Training Realm brat dares to intrude into the outer realm battlefield. You¡¯re really courting death.¡± ¡°Am I courting death? Why don¡¯t we put that to the test?¡±As he said, two strikes of the God-Slaying Technique shot towards Demon Lord Anmang. This time, Anmang was truly enraged. ¡°Brat, I¡¯m talking to you, yet you insist on attacking! Fine then, I¡¯ll let you taste my power!¡± As he spoke, he flew towards another two attacks of the God-Slaying Technique. However, the God-Slaying Technique specialized in crushing souls. It ignored his attack and directly hit his head. Demon Lord Anmang quickly held his head in pain. However, he recovered quickly. Wu Ning secretly estimated that Anmang should have the cultivation of a Level 3 Saint Realm and had almost cultivated to Level 7 Soul Palace. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have recovered so quickly from the attack of the God-Slaying Technique. ¡°Kid, you actually know a soul attack. Hand over your soul attack spell, or else¡­¡± Wu Ning was surprised to find Anmang eyeing his technique. Wu Ning narrowed his eyes. ¡°You want it? Come and get it then!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he struck two more times with his God-Slaying Technique. This time, Anmang was prepared. He knew that Wu Ning wouldn¡¯t hand over the God-Slaying Technique. He also knew that the technique could ignore spiritual attacks, so he dodged it in a flash. Looking at the attack that had hit the ground next to him, Anmang thought to himself, so this technique that attacks the soul was called the God-Slaying Technique. He had to get it. If he cultivated the God-Slaying technique¡­ wouldn¡¯t his strength increase by a lot? When that time came, his position among the demons would also rise. It was no surprise that Anmang wanted this God-Slaying Technique so badly. It was just that there were too few techniques in the origin continent focusing on the soul. That was why Anmang coveted the God-Slaying Technique so much. Anmang knew that Wu Ning wouldn¡¯t give him the God-Slaying Technique that easily, so he planned to take it by force. The water domain opened up and enveloped Wu Ning. ¡°Kid, in my domain, I am the king. Hurry up and hand over the God-Slaying Technique, or I will kill you and search your soul.¡± Wu Ning was in Anmang¡¯s domain. He didn¡¯t panic at all and directly unleashed two strikes of the law of reincarnation. As soon as the law of reincarnation was unleashed, Anmang saw two flashes of black and white aura, and his water domain immediately collapsed. Wu Ning mocked, ¡°This is your domain? It¡¯s too weak to withstand a single blow and yet you said you¡¯re the king. I see that you only dare to hide in the lake. You are weak.¡± Anmang was visibly upset by Wu Ning¡¯s insult. As long as one entered his water domain, even a Level 2 Saint would find it difficult to escape. However, Wu Ning had easily tamed his attacks. Anmang couldn¡¯t understand how Wu Ning did it. What exactly was that black and white aura? It actually scared him. ¡°Kid, I don¡¯t want your God-Slaying Technique. You can leave.¡± Wu Ning seemed extremely terrifying now. The corners of Wu Ning¡¯s mouth curled up into a smile. ¡°Who are you to decide when I choose to leave?¡± ¡°What do you want?¡± Anmang couldn¡¯t help but cower. ¡°It¡¯s very simple. You just have to hand over your storage ring.¡± He had not expected Anmang¡¯s cowardice and took advantage of the situation. ¡°Then, leave the Crimson Lake. You are not allowed to hunt us humans anymore.¡± Demon Lord Anmang felt very humiliated. He was actually being robbed by a human, who was merely at Void Training Realm. Demon Lord Anmang really wanted to kill this arrogant brat in front of him but knew he could not win. His strongest water domain had been shattered effortlessly by his opponent. Thus, a storage ring wrapped in spiritual power appeared in front of Wu Ning. Wu Ning took the storage ring, and with a movement of his soul, he instantly erased the connection between Anmang and the storage ring. Anmang was shocked. Wu Ning did this right in front of him? However Wu Ning didn¡¯t care what Anmang thought. He just waved his hand and quickly told him to leave.. Chapter 37 - Palace-Type Saint Artifact Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Just as Demon Lord Anmang was about to leave, Wu Ning suddenly stopped him. Demon Lord Anmang turned his head around, his entire body covered in cold sweat. He thought Wu Ning had changed his mind. Demon Lord Anmang smiled fawningly. ¡°Anything else?¡± Wu Ning narrowed his eyes. ¡°Give me all your treasure points. You¡¯re at Saint Realm, so I believe you have plenty of points.¡± Demon Lord Anmang flew into a rage. ¡°Human, don¡¯t push it!¡± Wu Ning said, ¡°Well? If you don¡¯t like it, we can fight.¡± Anmang cowered again. He couldn¡¯t beat someone like Wu Ning in a fight. After hesitating for a moment, he reluctantly gave all his treasure points to Wu Ning. Wu Ning then waved his hand, motioning for Anmang to leave. This time, Demon Lord Anmang had learned his lesson. After getting Wu Ning¡¯s permission, he immediately escaped and didn¡¯t remain any longer. Wu Ning didn¡¯t care. Anyway, Anmang was now useless. Wu Ning looked at his formation mark. [Activating Formation Mark] [Name: Wu Ning] [Realm: Void Training Stage] [Attributes: Omniscience] [Law: Fire (Domain), Water, (Domain), Ice (Meaning), Law of Reincarnation (Domain)] [Treasure: God-Slaying Wings (Broken)] [Base Technique: Level 7, Rank 8 Soul Palace] [Cultivation method: Tiger Hall Technique, All-life Technique, God-Slaying technique, Non-Dragon Heart Technique (Complete)] [Evaluation: SSS Divine tier] [Reward: x6 descending quotas] [Treasure points: 94.73 million] Who would have thought that just by robbing a Saint would increase his treasure points from 78.25 million to 94.73 million? It looked like these Saints were all filthy rich. However, what Wu Ning didn¡¯t know was that most of Anmang¡¯s treasure points had been used to exchange for a palace-type divine artifact. He no longer had any treasure points for him to descend, so he was lying in ambush in Crimson Lake to rob humans that passed by. In that time, he had amassed more than 20 million treasure points. If Wu Ning had come two days earlier, Anmang wouldn¡¯t have had so many treasure points for him to seize. Wu Ning¡¯s soul entered Demon Lord Anmang¡¯s storage ring to examine it. There were all kinds of inferior artifacts inside and only two saint artifacts. One was a palace-type saint artifact, and the other was a saber-type saint artifact. However, Wu Ning wasn¡¯t interested in this saint artifact either, as the Dragon Form Sword he was using now was a divine artifact Yue Wumian had given him. However, Wu Ning was still very interested in the palace-type saint artifact. Wu Ning took out that palace-type saint artifact and started examining it. A palm-sized palace appeared in Wu Ning¡¯s hand. Wu Ning observed it carefully and discovered that although this palace was small, it was extremely exquisite. No wonder it was a palace-type saint artifact. Any other ordinary Void Training Realm martial artist would be extremely thrilled to get their hands on this unlike Wu Ning, who showed disdain towards these artifacts. Others would surely be shocked at Wu Ning¡¯s extremely high requirements. Even if it were Saint King Realm experts, they would either keep it well for their disciples, or sell it for a high price. Wu Ning played with the saber-shaped saint weapon a few times and thought it was boring, so he sold it for a mere 500,000 treasure points. Wu Ning curled his lips in disdain, and then he continued studying that palace-type saint artifact. Wu Ning¡¯s conscience covered the palace and found the last remaining wisp of Anmang¡¯s soul. Then, the God-Slaying Technique blanketed it, destroying Anmang¡¯s soul imprint. Anmang suddenly felt that his connection with the palace-type saint artifact was gone. He roared, ¡°D*mned human, I will kill you!¡± The reason why Anmang had handed over his storage ring so easily was that the two saint artifacts recognized him as their masters. Only a Saint King Realm expert could erase the soul imprint he had left on them. In the end, he didn¡¯t expect Wu Ning to erase his imprint in just a moment. How could he not be angry? He had only retreated temporarily to find someone else to settle the score with Wu Ning and retrieve the things Wu Ning had robbed him of. He had not expected Wu Ning¡¯s soul to be that powerful. He had thought that Wu Ning was able to attack his soul completely because of the power of the God-Slaying Technique. He did not expect that Wu Ning¡¯s own soul was also so powerful that it was terrifying. Wu Ning cut a wound on his finger and let his blood drip onto the palace-type saint artifact. However, the drop of blood on the palace-type saint artifact did not produce anything at all. Wu Ning was puzzled as he flipped the palace-type saint artifact over and over again. However, he didn¡¯t find anything strange about it. Then, why couldn¡¯t he drip his blood onto the palace-type saint artifact to take ownership? What exactly was going on? After inspecting it for a long time, Wu Ning still couldn¡¯t figure it out. He could only put away the artifact first. When he had the chance in the future, he would ask someone else to take a look at it. He had only been in this world for less than two years, and he spent one of them on the road. He was completely ignorant of this continent, knowing nothing at all. It seemed that he had to find a time to understand this world. Otherwise, if he didn¡¯t know anything, it would be very troublesome. Wu Ning thought to himself and then set off to fly deep into the outer realm battlefield. At present, he could only be considered to be in the outer region of the outer realm battlefield, and couldn¡¯t come into contact with any warriors. Although Wu Ning was powerful, he did not have much actual combat experience. He needed to fight to increase his own. Actual combat experience did not seem to be very important, but in a battlefield, it was crucial. Wu Ning did not use the God-Slaying Wings to hurry on his journey. Instead, he used his Void Training Realm speed to speed up. Only then would others seize the chance to rob him. If he used the God-Slaying Wings to fly, who would be able to catch up with him? How would they rob him? How could he retaliate? Wu Ning traveled slowly. Along the way, he enjoyed the scenery. However, the outer realm battlefield was really filled with nothing but chaos. In just two days, he had encountered seven battles. Just as Wu Ning flew over a mountain, he saw another one. Wu Ning narrowed his eyes and observed for a while. Three Dao Realm and five human martial artists at Saint Realm were fighting a Level 1 Saint Realm monster. He didn¡¯t expect another encounter with the monster race to come so soon.. Chapter 38 - Primordial Mystic Realm Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Wu Ning watched from the side for a long time. It looked like five human warriors were at a disadvantage. As a human, Wu Ning naturally would assist. It was definitely not because he wanted to rob that demon. No, he was there to save his fellow humans. Then, Wu Ning flew over, and used his God-Slaying Technique. That demon warrior had not expected that another one would come to his death midway. Moreover, it was a warrior at Void Training Realm, so he did not care. He just casually threw out an attack, wanting to deflect the God-Slaying Technique, but the technique ignored spiritual power attacks, so it hit him right in the head. The demon warrior instantly felt as if his soul had been struck by lightning, and he was in extreme pain. All of his strength and attention was focused on dealing with the God-Slaying Technique that had invaded his conscience and wreaked havoc, and he could no longer deal with the rest. The trigrams spread out under Wu Ning¡¯s feet and enveloped the monster warrior. Wu Ning did not take any further action. Once he entered his domain of laws of reincarnation, only an expert at the Level 5 Saint Realm or above could break through his domain. Wu Ning looked at the stunned humans and shouted, ¡°Hurry up and leave!¡± Only then did those people come back to their senses, but they did not leave. One of them came and bowed. ¡°Thank you, young hero, for saving us. We are extremely grateful. However, this demon lord is a Level 1 Saint. Although our cultivation levels are low, we can not leave our young hero here and run away.¡± Wu Ning rolled his eyes. This person was big and burly, but why did he sound so melodramatic like a scholar? ¡°No need for that. If you guys stay here, you¡¯ll only be holding me back. You¡¯d better leave quickly. Otherwise, I won¡¯t be able to take care of you guys if there¡¯s a fight.¡± Although Wu Ning was rolling his eyes in his heart, he still said calmly on the surface. The man still wanted to say something, but a tall and thin man stood out to stop him. ¡°Zewen, this young hero is right. Our cultivation level is too low. If we stay here, we¡¯ll only be holding him back. We¡¯d better leave quickly.¡± Wu Ning raised his eyebrows. Finally, there was someone who was sensible. At this time, Wu Ning felt that Demon Lord Yongwang in his domain had begun trying to break out. ¡°Hurry up and leave! ¡°Wu Ning shouted, and then he ignored those people and focused on dealing with Demon Lord Yongwang. The five people struggled for a moment, but their cultivation level was too low. Staying here would only slow him down as Wu Ning had said, and in the end, they left. Before they left, they shouted, ¡°Young hero, I will definitely repay your kindness one day.¡± Wu Ning rolled his eyes again. Those who did not know would think that they were reading a fantasy novel. Demon Lord Yongwang was only a Level 1 Saint. Wu Ning was more than enough to deal with him. The reason why he chased those people away was that they were too troublesome and prevented him from robbing. Wu Ning did not use the law of reincarnation to kill Demon Lord Yongwang directly. Instead, he used the God-Slaying Technique to attack. If he killed Demon Lord Yongwang, how could he rob him? The array mark would dissipate with the body¡¯s death, and all objects inside the imprint would disappear with it. Therefore, before he robbed, he had to ensure that Demon Lord Yongwang was alive. Wu Ning looked at Demon Lord Yongwang who was in extreme pain after being hit by the God-Slaying Technique. He smiled like he was tempting a child with candy. ¡°Demon Lord Yongwang, right? As long as you hand over your storage ring and treasure points, I will let you go. How about that?¡± Yongwang was also a tough cookie. He held his head and said in pain, ¡°In your dreams. If you want my storage ring and the treasure points, you will have to kill me!¡± Wu Ning shook his head. ¡°Why are you doing this? Isn¡¯t it better to exchange the storage ring and the treasure points for your own life? If you live long enough, you can always come back again.¡± Yongwang said, ¡°Human warrior, I will not hand over the storage ring and the treasure points to you. Kill me!¡± Wu Ning sighed helplessly. This person was truly impervious to both soft and hard tactics. It seemed that he would not be able to rob the treasure point today. With a thought, Yongwang¡¯s corpse fell out of the trigrams. Wu Ning flew over to catch his corpse and found a storage ring on the corpse. Then, he casually threw the corpse away and left. This was already the third saint that Wu Ning had killed. Yongwang had given Wu Ning 100,000 comprehension points. Although it was a little less, it was better than nothing. With the death of Demon Lord Yongwang, the storage ring became ownerless. Wu Ning didn¡¯t even need to expend any effort to enter it. His soul went in to check what good things were inside. Then, he curled his lips. Why was Yongwang even poorer than Anmang? Even Anmang still had two saint weapons, and he only had a low-level spear-type saint weapon inside. After checking it, he sold all the valuable things to the array formation imprint, only for them to be worth nothing more than 27,000 treasure points. Wu Ning sighed in his heart. This demon lord was really poor. After that, Wu Ning continued moving forward. In the outer realm battlefield, there was no destination. Those who came here were all for the experience and to earn treasure points. And the outer realm battlefield was filled with killing. There was no need to stir up trouble deliberately. Of course, the battlefield also had many places to hide treasures. There were often people who would accidentally obtain treasures and cause massacres. The outer realm battlefield also had a few mystic realms. Mystic realms were usually opened for more than a thousand years. All warriors could enter to search for treasures. Once the mystic realms were opened, many warriors would rush in to search for treasures. It was similar to descending into another world. However, there were no natives in the mystic realms. The flow of time in the mystic realms was the same as in the real world. However, Wu Ning did not expect that there would be such a thing as a mystic realm. Now was the time for the primordial mystic realm to open, so many Level 3, 4, and 5 Saints went to the primordial mystic realm. Wu Ning was wandering around like a headless fly. He didn¡¯t know where he was going either. When he encountered the monster race and the demon race, he would rob them. If it was the extremely vicious monster race or demon race, Wu Ning would kill them after the robbery and not let them harm the human race again. Wu Ning learned from a Saint Realm demon lord that the primordial mystic realm had already opened, so he planned to go to the primordial mystic realm to take a look. After flying for about half a month, Wu Ning killed a few demons on the way and finally arrived at the Primordial Mountain. The Primordial Mountain was a nameless mountain on the outer realm battlefield. This mountain wasn¡¯t big, let alone majestic and magnificent. It was just that the entrance to the primordial mystic realm was here, so this was how it got its name and attracted countless warriors. In the sky above the summit of the Primordial Mountain, there was a place that was about ten miles in circumference. Its shape was different from the surrounding void. That ten-mile circumference looked like a mirror hanging upside down in the sky. This was the entrance of the primordial mystic realm. After flying to the sky above the Primordial Mountain, Wu Ning directly flew into the entrance of the primordial mystic realm and disappeared in an instant. All that was left was a mirror that looked like a stone that had been thrown into a lake, causing the surface of the mirror to sparkle.. Chapter 39 - Breaking Through the Deity Realm Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The environment changed, and a large amount of cold water covered Wu Ning. Wu Ning flew out of the lake quickly. He didn¡¯t expect to enter the bottom of the lake as soon as he entered the primordial mystic realm. Wu Ning used his spiritual power to dry the water on his body. Wu Ning looked around. One side of the lake was backed by a mountain, and the other three were connected to the grassland. The water in the cold lake below suddenly splashed in all directions. Soon after, a few beastmen suddenly rushed out of the lake. ¡°Someone¡¯s going to die¡­¡± Wu Ning sneered, but the aura around him suddenly soared. This time, he did not use the Laws of Reincarnation and the God-Slaying Technique. He wanted to see how strong he actually was. Wu Ning struck out with his palm. With a loud sound, the water on the lake exploded. However, the beastmen were fine. Wu Ning smiled bitterly. It seemed that his cultivation at Void Training Realm was indeed not enough. Then, he wrapped his spiritual power with the God-Slaying Technique and attacked the beastmen. The beastmen were not bothered as Wu Ning had already struck them with his palm before and it had not caused any significant damage. So they just casually struck out a few spiritual power attacks without even using any laws. In the next moment, those few beastmen saw that they had actually been actually injured by a human who was only at Void Training Realm. ¡°How is this possible¡­ isn¡¯t he at the Void Training Realm?¡± A silver wolf looked at the wounds on his body and said in disbelief. ¡°Does the Void Training Realm mean that he can¡¯t defeat a Saint?¡± a scornful voice said. Wu Ning had already flown in front of the beastmen and was sizing them up from head to toe. When they met Wu Ning¡¯s gaze, the few beastmen could not help but shudder. After all, when the God-Slaying Technique slashed at the divine soul, it really made people wish they were dead. They even brought along Saints. Although they were only low-level Saints, their strength was not weak either. They were actually all defeated at the hands of Void Training Realm cultivator. They could finally see that this youth who seemed to only have the cultivation of Void Training Realm in front of them was actually very strong. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to beat them so miserably in just two moves. However, what made the few beastmen most afraid was that they could not see through Wu Ning at all. The unknown was the most terrifying. ¡°Tell me, why did you attack me?¡± Wu Ning suddenly asked. ¡°Well¡­ actually, we just wanted to rob you of your treasure points, sir.¡± They were rather polite and even addressed Wu Ning as ¡®sir¡¯. ¡°You intend to eat me, is that it?¡± Wu Ning asked. ¡°No, sir. That¡¯s not true¡­¡± the beastmen who were frightened by Wu Ning¡¯s words immediately denied it. ¡°Alright, it¡¯s reasonable that you want to eat me. After all, I look very weak.¡± Wu Ning interrupted the beastmen. ¡°At this time, many warriors are in the primordial mystic realm trying to fight and obtain cultivation resources. Why are you hiding in the cold lake at the exit?¡± Wu Ning continued to ask. ¡°Sir, this is your first time entering the primordial mystic realm, right?¡± Several beastmen couldn¡¯t help but ask. ¡°Why do you ask?¡± Wu Ning asked back. ¡°Warriors with some experience know our purpose of hiding at the bottom of the cold lake. Moreover, there must be many warriors hiding around the cold lake,¡± said the beastman. Wu Ning signaled them to continue. ¡°Now, there are still about a hundred years before the time the mystic realm will close. At this time, the fights in the mystic realm will become intense. Moreover, it will be between some extremely powerful Saint Realm Warriors. and many warriors who think their strength is not good will leave the mystic realm in advance,¡± explained a few beastmen. ¡°So you don¡¯t dare to fight with those powerful saints. You just lie in ambush around this cold lake and wait for the opportunity to rob those warriors who are not strong enough?¡± Wu Ning had already seen through the trick. It seemed that the remaining people in this mystery realm would be some high-level saints¡¯ powerhouses. His cultivation of Void Training Realm wasn¡¯t sufficient. If he didn¡¯t have the Laws of Reincarnation and the God-Slaying Technique, he reckoned that he would soon become just another casualty. It seemed that he had to improve his strength quickly. Wu Ning glanced around. The surrounding martial artists saw that Wu Ning had subdued five beastmen in only two moves, and none of them dared to come out. Wu Ning also didn¡¯t have the intention to rob them. The most important thing now was to break through as soon as possible. It would be best if he could break through to the Deity Realm. He had been in the Void Training Realm for a long time, but he had been suppressing himself from advancing. Otherwise, he would have entered the Deity Realm a long time ago. Wu Ning waved his hand to let the five beastmen leave. He needed to find a place to breakthrough as soon as possible. The beastmen looked at each other, then knelt and said, ¡°Sir, please let us follow you during this period of time.¡± Wu Ning didn¡¯t expect that he would be stuck by them. ¡°There¡¯s no need for you to follow me. Your own strength is already very strong.¡± ¡°Sir, if you don¡¯t let us follow you, we will continue to kneel here,¡± the five beastmen said stubbornly. Wu Ning couldn¡¯t be bothered to waste his breath on them. His eyes shot out two God-Slaying Technique. The moment the five beastmen saw the attacks, they immediately disappeared without a trace. Wu Ning shook his head and left. He was going to make a breakthrough next. He found a cave at random. The entrance of the cave was filled with the patterns of the law of reincarnation with spiritual power. Wu Ning would know immediately if anyone barged in, and he would activate the Law of Reincarnation. Wu Ning would only dare to make a breakthrough after making sure he was well-protected. The purpose of breaking through from the Void Training Realm to Deity Realm was to make preparations for advancing to Saint Realm in the future. Therefore, he had to be very careful when making a breakthrough this time. Wu Ning began to absorb the surrounding spiritual qi. When all the meridians in his body were filled with spiritual qi, he would reach his peak condition. He spread his essence qi and spirit consciousness among the surrounding spiritual qi. After a moment, Wu Ning¡¯s breathing and heartbeats were in sync with the earth. The qi around him fused with his own and entered Wu Ning¡¯s soul. When the spiritual qi entered Wu Ning¡¯s soul to its limit, it began to compress them. When it was compressed to its limit, Wu Ning saw all kinds of patterns on the compressed spiritual power ball. There were the patterns of the law of water and the patterns of the law of fire. Soon, under Wu Ning¡¯s compression, the spiritual power ball full of patterns broke and scattered in every corner of Wu Ning¡¯s body. This meant that Wu Ning had already broken through to the Deity Realm, but Wu Ning did not stop. He wanted to break through to the ninth level of the Deity Realm in one go. A year later, Wu Ning opened his eyes and casually waved out a stream of spiritual power. The large rock next to him cracked open. Looking at his current strength, Wu Ning nodded with satisfaction. Originally, Wu Ning wanted to break through to the Dao Realm in one breath, but he was worried that breaking through too quickly would affect his own foundation, so he decided to gather his strength for a period of time before breaking through to the Dao Realm.. Chapter 40 - Heaven Will Not Spare Insubordinates Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Wu Ning removed the law patterns he had set up at the entrance of the cave and walked out of the cave for a stretch. As expected, time was only but an idea during cultivation. It had already been a year. He only walked around and did not have any intention of exploring the primordial mystic realm. He had just remembered that the system had a fixed realm pill for sale. With the fixed realm pill, he would not have to worry about the instability of his realm caused by his continuous breakthroughs. Wu Ning had only come out to take a breather. When he was ready, he could break through to the Dao Realm at any time. When he broke through to the Dao Realm, even a Level 5 Saint Realm expert would not be able to do anything to him. When Wu Ning was ready, he returned to the cave. The entrance of the cave was still covered with the patterns of the law of reincarnation. Wu Ning spent 700,000 comprehension points in exchange for a fixed realm pill. Seeing that a realm consolidation pill was so expensive, Wu Ning realized that he couldn¡¯t go around robbing treasure points anymore. He had to kill to increase his comprehension points. Otherwise, it wouldn¡¯t be enough. His Soul Palace hadn¡¯t grown as his comprehension points were lacking. After Wu Ning took the realm strengthening pill, he felt that the effect was gradually dissolving in his body. He felt that Level 9 of the Deity Realm, which he had just broken through, was now stable. Now, Wu Ning could break through with ease. He sat cross-legged in the depths of the cave and was about to begin his breakthrough. Wu Ning¡¯s spiritual sense went out of his body and looked at the patterns in the void, trying to communicate with them with his soul. Then, the patterns in the void burst out a dominating aura that was above all things. It released a pattern that covered Wu Ning¡¯s conscience. Wu Ning¡¯s conscience responded with a voice that returned to Wu Ning¡¯s mind. ¡°Are you willing to submit?¡± Wu Ning hesitated when he heard the voice that echoed in his mind. ¡°Heaven will not spare insubordinates!¡± Because Wu Ning had not expressed his willingness to submit for a long time, the patterns in the void emitted a ray of light that covered Wu Ning¡¯s conscience. In an instant, it exploded with murderous intent. The patterns in the void wanted to kill Wu Ning¡¯s conscience and kill him. ¡°Humph, you want to kill me without convincing me? Try harder!¡± This killing attempt instantly roused Wu Ning¡¯s fighting intent in his heart. Wu Ning began to use his spiritual power in a frenzy to draw the pattern of the law of reincarnation, but the murderous intent still lingered around him. In a flash, Wu Ning seemed to have seen another pattern. Wu Ning felt that this pattern was even more powerful than the law of reincarnation. His intuition told him that this pattern could defeat the aura of murderous intent. Therefore, Wu Ning decided to take a risk. He trusted his intuition and gave up trying to use the law of reincarnation. He began to draw this powerful pattern. Wu Ning continued to draw with his spiritual power, covering his whole body with this pattern. Boom! The aura of murderous intent was broken by the pattern Wu Ning had drawn. His conscience returned to his body. The moment his conscience returned to his body, Wu Ning¡¯s cultivation base had advanced from Deity Realm to Saint Realm. Wu Ning looked at his cultivation base. What was going on? Shouldn¡¯t he have broken through to the Dao Realm? Why had he broken through to Saint Realm directly? What was going on? How had he done it? Wu Ning was confused. He didn¡¯t know what was going on either. This world was too magical. There were so many things that he didn¡¯t know. He didn¡¯t know who to ask either. In this world, he didn¡¯t know anyone except for Yue Wumian. In fact, he didn¡¯t know Yue Wumian that well. He had known Yue Wumian for only less than a year. He had suddenly transmigrated to this world. He had no relatives, friends, or lovers. He had been working hard to cultivate, but he didn¡¯t know what he was going to do in the end. He just followed the rules of this world. Wu Ning suddenly had some doubts. Why had God brought him to this world? Why had he appeared here? Why had he started cultivating? Was it not good to be an ordinary person and lead an ordinary life? In his previous life, his greatest wish was to retire to the countryside, plant some fields, and raise a dog. He would work as the sun dictated. However, after coming to this world, he had worked hard every day to cultivate and then went out to fight. What was the purpose of all this? Wu Ning did not know, but he forced himself to stop thinking about it. Doubts would creep in if he allowed his mind to run free. Wu Ning walked out of the cave and looked at the scenery outside. In fact, this world was not a complete mess at all. When he was young, he had liked reading fantasy novels. He had also fantasized about himself transmigrating into the books and becoming the omnipotent male protagonist, powerful and respected by the world. Now, it seemed like he was realizing his dream. Thinking of this, Wu Ning felt much better. Sure enough, people still had to learn to comfort themselves. Wu Ning thought with a smile. Then, he exchanged some wild game with the system to roast and eat. As soon as the law of fire was released, it immediately produced a huge flame. Wu Ning cleaned up the wild beast and began to roast it. Ever since he entered Void Training Realm, he no longer needed to eat. It had been a long time since he had eaten anything. However, today was different. As he was in a good mood, he just felt like eating something. Wu Ning had always been a man of action. Whenever he thought of something, he would do it. Now that the meat was being roasted over the fire, Wu Ning looked at the food that was slowly cooking in front of him. A sense of happiness and satisfaction appeared in his heart. After a short while, the meat was ready. Wu Ning exchanged two bottles of quality wine with the system and sighed in his heart. The system was really omnipotent as it had all kinds of wine. Then, he ate the roasted meat and drank a mouthful of wine while admiring the scenery outside the cave. He sighed. As long as he was alive, no matter where he was, no matter how bad the situation was¡ªhe was still happy. After eating and drinking his fill, Wu Ning returned to the cave to sleep. Early the next morning, Wu Ning got up. He stretched his body and felt the crisp air of the morning. He was really satisfied with his sleep. Now that his mood was better, Wu Ning was ready to go out and kill everyone. He was already at Saint Realm, although he didn¡¯t know why he had skipped Dao Realm. However, he was now a true Saint Realm expert. If he met a Saint King Realm expert now, he could still escape alive even if he could not win. According to the five demons, all that was left in the primordial mystic realm should be high-level Saint Realm experts. He wanted to see how strong these high-level Saint Realm experts were..
