Chapter 12

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)]

[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..
