The latter was precisely the situation of Dan Yangzi right now. He didn't die instantly, but his divine soul had been utterly focused and excited in one mont, then brutally struck at its peak, causing severe depletion to his divine soul.
After all, this was only a sliver of his divine sense, but the loss still reverberated painfully back to his original body!
Though the Ascension List claid that online actions wouldn't affect offline, everything had already happened!
His divine sense quickly returned to reality. He stood alone on the towering mountain peak, with snowflakes gently falling around him, the palatial corridors stretching endlessly below, and flying boats in the sky like giant whales. Loyal disciples waited on his every command, and countless subjects prostrated at his feet.
All of this was what a Nascent Soul Master should enjoy, and it had been his peaceful routine for over a hundred years. Yet at this mont, everything felt tasteless. The instant he logged out, Master Bai Sheng was so disinterested in speaking to his subordinates that he imdiately logged back in!
Even if disciples wanted to ask whether he had turned off the Water Mirror live stream or if soone had new suggestions, his eyes red with rage, he ignored everything and logged back in, back in, damn it, I'm logging back in!
If only he were the mayor of that town, able to resurrect at any ti and any place, then he wouldn't need to spend ten minutes flying there.
But this also had its drawbacks. For instance, ng Yu, who had beco the master of that land, had in fact signed a treaty with the Ascension List. After his death in battle, he could resurrect within three miles of the town, always ready to face the enemy's attacks. However, this was actually a trap that Myriad Gold Pavilion had set for ng Yu.
Why had the Taiyi Sect allowed Lingyun City to transfer the town to ng Yu? Their intentions were never good from the start. ng Yu might have gained a small town, but his site of death and resurrection was fixed, a situation that made it entirely possible for his enemies to kill him until he dared not log in, rather than allowing him to resurrect at will.
Then, Master Bai Sheng logged in once again!
...
Blood was spilled ssily on the ground, but thankfully, there were people to collect the corpses.
ng Yu placed the seventh body into his storage bag. Although the people from Myriad Gold Pavilion saw everything, they did not say anything.
After all, Master Bai Sheng was an old man, not a female cultivator, and ng Yu didn't take Master Bai Sheng's long sword but left it lying on the ground.
The eighth ti, Master Bai Sheng charged out, but this ti, he was blocked by that female Nascent Soul.
"Calm down, Brother Yike. You've lost."
There were no violent outbursts or redirecting of anger onto others. Master Bai Sheng kept his rage in check—even a re Qi Cultivator in a Minor World is an Innate Expert with a heart as still as ice, and one who can beco a Nascent Soul, no matter how greedy, shaless, belligerent, or brutal, would have no issue with their state of mind.
Admit your mistakes when you should, and correct them when necessary.
Gong Yike instantly cald down, his eyes turning towards ng Yu.
"If you want to win against him, it's simple, you just need one helper."
Another Nascent Soul said.
In the Cultivation World's response to experts skilled in close-quarters combat was straightforward, swarm them! Your swordsmanship may be great, but the opponent has two people and four hands!
Now, each ti Master Bai Sheng Gong Yike was just a hair's breadth away, then all that was needed was to let a skilled fighter join him.
Just one block, one attack, that's enough!
"No. No..."
Master Bai Sheng thought for a mont and shook his head. Regardless, he was a Nascent Soul, and he could not bring himself to do such embarrassing things.
"It's fine, it's fine. You can all gang up on , and it won't matter."
ng Yu said cheerily, as the Green Steel Sword in his hand crumbled to the ground like sand, its complete disintegration a result of consecutive intense battles.
Then, he had another Green Steel Sword in his hand.
Lan Qiong frowned from not too far away, puzzled.
There were better swords in ng Yu's storage bag, more magical treasures, yet he did not use them!
Those swords could be as light as a feather, allowing ng Yu's sword to be even a fraction faster, or imbued with spells for an added layer of protection while defending, or even fiery Fire Blast Talismans, especially suited for ng Yu's Fire Crow Sword Technique. But this young man, he continued to use a common Green Steel Sword, ti after ti skirting the edge of death!
Suddenly, she rembered, during ng Yu's war with the Golden Core cultivators of the Eternal Night Palace, it had surprised everyone that ng Yu hardly used any high-level weapons or magical treasures, nor did he have anything stunning or suitable Divine Weapons that a Divinity Transformation might bequeath for protection.
He continued like this, fighting dangerous battles amidst blood and gore, ti and ti again.
(In actuality, because he had Mirror Twelve by his side, ng Yu was more willing to use more ordinary weapons. He aid to hone his sword and temper his body. After all, with Mirror Twelve close by, the "Golden Finger" was already a huge advantage. If there really was a life-and-death crisis, Mirror Twelve's spiritual power attack could definitely buy him ti to draw a more powerful weapon.)
Suddenly, Lan Qiong seed to have realized sothing.
Many things that you find exceedingly precious, in the eyes of others, are but re dust.
Then one day, they will obtain the most precious of treasures.
...
In reality, outside the Mountain Gate of the Taihe Sect.
ng Yu's battle scenes from the Ascension List were being projected to the audience on-site through the Water Mirror Technique.
Even Master Tianyue, who had co for negotiations, was present in his own person.
After ng Yu killed the Hundred Victories True Lord for the third ti, Master Tianyue made a snap decision, took his leave from True Monarch Youyun, exited the Mountain Gate Formation, and ca to visit ng Yu, expressing his willingness to concede!
The sects in the northwest had always been observing the battles between ng Yu and the Eternal Night Palace. Whatever Lan Qiong could think of, they were more capable of, and many believed ng Yu's bluster was because, from head to toe, he fought with ordinary weapons, or even those snatched from his enemies.
Any cultivator with a bit of background would cultivate and use their most proficient weapons and magical treasures, whereas ng Yu's situation, as poor as a loose cultivator, exuded a pathetic air — how could he possibly be the son of soone who had achieved Divinity Transformation?
He had no Life-bound Magic Artifact; his sword wasn't even as good as what those at Foundation Establishnt used!
Yet today, having seen ng Yu's battle with the Hundred Victories True Lord, Master Tianyue suddenly shuddered.
Could it be... that his own perspective was too narrow?
A hundred thousand years ago, soone with but a Wooden Sword road the world, fought through hundreds of thousands of miles, repeatedly escaping from the brink of death, and ultimately beca an undefeated Sword Master.
Eighty thousand years ago, a Daoist turned from righteousness to wickedness, then from wickedness to sanctity, betraying promises and committing patricide and sororicide, yet achieved invincibility, having mooched countless tis.
Many great figures, who appeared foolish, stupid, and shaless in their youth, but when they climbed step by step to the peak, you'd realize that they had their own pursuits!
ng Yu didn't use magical treasures, divine weapons, or any remarkable cultivation techniques — all his thods were common as mud, visible at a glance, just like his recent sword fight with the Hundred Victories True Lord.
From any angle, Master Tianyue could only see that ng Yu's moves were a kind of animal-shaped sword technique, an embodint of the Crane Shaped Sword Skill, without any superfluous shapes — simple and clear, he could perform them flawlessly.
But ng had perfected them!
"I am the Immortal Crane; I am the wind. I don't embrace all creation; I've reached the pinnacle!"
So... was such a person frightening?
You et a genuine scion with a super background who starts from mundane jobs, enduring hardship first, never indulging in pleasure, ticulous and perfect in his work, voluntarily taking on extrely dangerous tasks.
You might mock such a person for being an idiot, wasting precious ti, and not cherishing their life, but... you would definitely think that if this person didn't die, he would certainly beco a remarkable figure!
And now, having seen ng Yu fight the Hundred Victories True Lord with the Green Steel Sword, Master Tianyue suddenly understood what ng was doing.
Honing his sword!
From beginning to end, that's what he was doing with his sword.
Whether it was coming to the Western Wastes alone, traversing ten thousand miles in the northwest sword fighting, or subsequently engaging in online combat, to him, honor, Spirit Stones, wealth, inheritance, beauties... countless things that many people dream of, for him, they were rely tools.
Including this very battle against Cool Breeze Mountain!
Thus, he decided to bow down to ng Yu.
ng Yu wasn't terrifying; he could be beaten, but his father was definitely a madman. To raise such a son, and to allow him to act this way, such a person was far too terrifying.
