The Desolate Era
13

With a sinister expression on his face, Lee returned to his estate. Behind him was a four-toed beast. The two entered his estate, and the servants and guards of the mansion all knelt down or lowered their heads when they saw him. None of them dared to breathe too hard. They all knew that their master, Lee, was in a very bad mood. Someone who pisses him off might be slapped to death.

“Dad.” A voice from afar, and a middle-aged man wearing beast fur with dozens of braids in his hair came out.

Lee glanced at him. That person was his most competent son, and also the one who had become a Xiantian living being; ji Jadewich. Frowning, he said, Jadewich, is this true? I just went hunting, and shortly afterwards, I received word that the little animal Yichuan has reached the stage of ‘adjust’ swordplay, ‘one with sword’?

“That, dad.” Jadewich shook his head and sighed. Today, Ji Ning and the nine Ninefang Warriors were competing. He made a breakthrough in the swordplay during the sparring. There's no doubt about this at all.

Argha! Lee let out an angry voice. Heaven has defied me, Ji Lee. My older brother, Ji Young, is inferior to me, but due to my arrogance, I allowed him to seize the position of Prefectural Master. He produced an outstanding offspring, Ji Yichuan, making his bloodline more stable. But now, the more outstanding Ji Ning has been produced, which in six years managed to reach the level of ‘one with sword’!

Reach level ‘one with sword’ in just six years. The three geniuses we chose from countless tribes were far inferior to him when compared. Jadewich shook his head as well.

For the sake of hindering Ning's development, they specifically selected three extraordinarily talented children near Ning's age, and began teaching them from a young age. But they still lost to Ning.

Just slightly. If Grizzly was only three years younger Jadewich sighed.

The grizzly? Li's surprised.

Grizzly is his adopted son.

In the past, when he led an army to punish one of the larger tribes for offense, he met Diremonster, ‘Gold Grizzly Bear’. After a ferocious and terrifying battle, the Golden Grizzly Bear finally escaped with defeat. Lee then raided the lair of the Golden Grizzly Bear, and found inside the lair a small baby. The baby was not yet a year old, but was born with extraordinary strength and was well liked by Lee. He said, Son, you were kidnapped by the Golden Grizzly Bear but not killed. Instead, it lifts you up? From today onwards, you will be my adopted son, Ji Lee. I'll name you Grizzly!

It is common for someone to raise an adopted child who has extraordinary abilities.

When Grizzly is brought back home, it is determined that he is one year old. He is now thirteen years old. Lee treats and raises the Grizzly as a fearsome beast, making him engage with wild beasts in battle since he was a baby, and sometimes even with wild beasts. Naturally, he also taught Grizzly the most suitable training method

Amidst all that fighting, last year, Grizzly had reached the ‘one stage with sword’.

The Golden Sword Ceremony is held once every four years. There will be one this year. Jadewich narrowed his eyes. Four years from now, there will be another one. Four more years Grizzly will be seventeen. Only those sixteen and under can participate in the Golden Sword Ceremony. Four years from now, Grizzly would not even be able to participate, let alone stop Ning!

The only hope we have right now is that the three little brats I received will be able to become Xiantian sentient beings in the next four years. Lee mutters.

“True.” Jadewich. I personally chose the three of them from all tribes as the most suitable for Ki Refining. They had reached the peak of the Houtian level long ago. If one of them can advance to the Xiantian level, then our victory is certain.

Lee nodded as well. A Xiantian Ki Refiner was able to use magical treasures and would definitely win. Merely, it was too difficult to become a Xiantian realm living being

“What we can do is just wait and see what Fate has to offer.” Jadewich said softly.

Li nodded lightly.

Although they fought for the position of Prefectural Lord, Ji Lee and Ji Jadewich never even thought of killing Ji Ning. In this vast world, in order for a clan to survive.they had to unite, and the killing of brothers was clearly forbidden! Moreover, Ning had been chosen as a potential heir. If someone dared to try and use evil methods to kill Ji Ning, it was likely that everyone in the Five Prefectures of the Ji Clan would join forces to punish the murderer!

Thick and large candles illuminated the hall. Yichuan sat in the main seat, while Snow and Ning sat nearby.

The three of them were eating food in front of them on the table.

Yichuanese. Snow looked at his son, his hands and mouth greasy because of the meat he ate. His eyes were filled with pride. Our son Ning mastered the basics in three years, and in three more years became ‘one with sword’! It seemed like it would be easy for him to obtain the position of Lord Prefecture.

Holding the ramshorn trophy, Yichuan nodded lightly. When Ning sparred with the others, he only used his internal strength. He did not use the power of the [Crimsonbright Diagram of the Nine Heavens], the number one Fiendgod Body Refining method. And besides, while arguing with an outsider, Ning only used one sword.

The others did not know how strong Ning was, but Yichuan and his wife knew exactly how capable their son was.

The golden sword?

It was easy to take something out of his pocket!

Ning, at his current level of strength, was already easily able to snatch the golden sword. In four more years, even a Xiantian living being would be unable to stop him. Yichuan poured another cup of wine for himself.

Ning continued to just sit there, eating and drinking incredible amounts of food.

The fourth level would make it a Xiantian life form, and one that belonged to the number one Fiendgod Body Refining technique. His fighting ability would far surpass that of a normal Xiantian life form a hundred times or a thousand times.

“Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle.” Ning drank a large mouthful of hot water, poured everything into his mouth, then rubbed his stomach as he put it down. That feels good.

“Ning.” Snow looked at his son while laughing.

“Mother.” Ning was very obedient. He could feel that his father loved him but also appreciated the clan, while his mother placed almost all her hopes and worries on him. In his mother's eyes, perhaps even the rise and fall of the entire Ji clan was not as important as his son.

Snow looked at his son. When your father taught you [108 Sword God and Devil], it was the most complicated level sword technique you could learn, and it is a collection of sword techniques that are best suited for you to reach ‘one with a sword. ‘ levels. However, now that you have reached that level, the [108 Swords of Gods and Demons] technique is no longer useful to you.

“True.” Yichuan looked at his son. Now, Ning! When I ask you to prepare your ‘body’ and ‘mind’, I need you to make all your attacks lightning fast and very accurate. I'm in need of you to implant those things in your bones. Only then did I teach you [108 Swords of Gods and Demons], and the goal was to release you from something simple to complicated!

The path of sword training first changed from simple to complicated, and then from complicated back to simple. Only then can one be considered to have mastered the sword. Yichuan looked at his son. You have become ‘one with sword’, and you can use it as easily as your own hands. You can be considered to have gone from complicated back to simple.

Ning nodded.

He understands this logic. If he was so foolish as to constantly use those thirteen basic stances, he could still be considered an expert swordsman, but without actually experiencing ‘from simple to complicated, he could still be considered an expert swordsman, then from complicated to simple’, it will be very difficult for someone. to reach the level of ‘one with sword’.

“Next, you must reach the level to be ‘one with dunia’.” Yichuan sighed. “This step is a very difficult step.”

“One with the world ..” Ning filled with anticipation.

“Previous sword techniques that you have learned now are of no use to you.” Yichuan looked at his son. Your current level is enough to qualify you to learn the highest level swordplay of the Ji clan.

Ning's eyes lit up. The highest level sword game of the Ji clan?

“Klan Ji we are famous for our swordplay.” Yichuan sighed with emotion. In turn, the city of the Ji clan in the Main Prefecture, ‘Ten Thousand Sword’ City, was named because the ancestor of the Ji clan became famous for [Melody of Ten Thousand Swords], which was the capital of the Ji clan, which they use to establish themselves here.

After thousands of years, the Ji clan now possessed five supreme-level sword arts. They were [Melody of Ten Thousand Swords], [Thunderflame Sword], [Illusion Sutra], [Raindrop Sutra], and [Polaris Secret Manual]. Each technique is extremely profound and surpasses the level ability of ‘one with sword’. If you can make achievements in any of them, you will find that their power is unlimited. Yichuan looked at his son. I practiced in the [Rain Drip Sutra]. Most people, even after reaching the level of ‘one with sword’, can at most choose one of the arts to train. This is because dividing the mind is too difficult. But Ning, since you can split your mind in two, you will be able to choose two arts to train in.

Hu!

In Yichuan's hands, five books suddenly appeared. He casually threw it away, and they flew straight, landing on a neat pile at a nearby table, not touching any cups or plates.

“Highest level swordplay?” Ning looked at five books. He understood that this was just a short version. Only after he makes his choice, he will receive ‘ful version’.

“Specify your choice.”

Yichuan looked at his son and said solemnly, After you choose, your choice will be recorded for review by the Ji clan of the Five Prefectures! If it is not recorded, you will be considered to have learned it in secret. Whoever did that would be exterminated by the joint forces of the Five Prefectures.

“Ah!” Ji Ning understood this, but he still felt surprised. “Then why is there no such limitation on the [Crimsonbright Diagram of the Nine Heavens] technique I learned?”

Although the [Crimsonbright Diagram of the Nine Heavens] technique was the number one Refining Body Fiendgod, it was extremely widespread. Almost all the tribes at the level of the Ji clan had copies of it. Therefore, it does not matter if our copy is leaked. Yichuan looked at his son. Most Ki Refining methods and Fiendgod Body Refining methods were not very valuable. Only the ultimate techniques of each clan were strictly restricted, like the five sword techniques here. In the area around Walet Mountain, these four techniques are only possessed by our Ji clan. Only the [Polaris Secret Guide] was also owned by another entity, the Blackflame Sect.

Ning nodded.

He knew that in the area around Walet Mountain, other than the Great Xia Dynasty soldiers stationed here, there were a total of five other hegemonic powers. The Ji Clan was also one of them.

These six hegemons engaged in constant battles, but none of them dared to offend the troops of the Grand Xia Dynasty!

“True.” Ning immediately lowered his head and began to read, flipping through these five top grade sword techniques. If one were at the level of ‘one with sword’ and then also had this kind of high-end sword technique, his strength would definitely double.

“Sutra Raindrop ..” This is the first one Ning saw. It was a top-class technique that made his father famous.

Anyway, her father's nickname is ‘Pedang Rintang Rain’!
