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—True 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.

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..
