Afterwards, Xu Ning didn't want to talk to Miao Yunyi any further, fearing the other might see through him, so he simply returned to his carriage.
Sitting inside, Xu Ning began to recall his battle with the Golden Core demon, making a rough summary.
The reason he killed his opponent so easily wasn't because the opponent was weak, but because Xu Ning was too strong.
Moreover, in every battle, Xu Ning was always thinking of avoiding any unforeseen complications, so his attacks were extrely ruthless and decisive, always using multiple thods and techniques simultaneously, often leaving his opponent unable to defend himself.
In addition, the quality and accumulated power of his techniques and items made him extrely powerful, allowing him to defeat his opponent before many of his thods could be unleashed.
Of course, Xu Ning's Foundation Establishnt cultivation level was also a factor, catching his opponent off guard.
And Xu Ning's style was all about surprise attacks. If possible, he even felt he should have launched a sneak attack—whatever thod was safest, he would use.
The rest of the journey was relatively peaceful.
Occasionally, they encountered so minor incidents along the way, but since the entire group consisted of cultivators at least at the Foundation Establishnt level, they were easily dealt with.
That night, they stopped to rest.
Xu Ning stepped out of the carriage, found a large rock, lay down on it, and gazed at the starry night sky.
It was true, the further north they went, the brighter the stars beca.
During this ti, whenever they stopped, Xu Ning would co out to look at the stars.
Just then, footsteps approached. Xu Ning turned his head and saw Miao Yunyi walking towards him.
"Young friend, what a refined taste!" Miao Yunyi said with a smile.
Xu Ning said, "Life isn't just about the present hardships, but also the hardships of the future!"
Miao Yunyi said, "You sound like you're filled with despair about the world!"
Xu Ning said, "Sotis, I really don't know where to go!"
Miao Yunyi said, "Cherish the present, be content with what you have. Cultivation has no end. If you encounter difficulties now, and think about how hard things are now, and then think about sothing as distant as the Void Refining Tribulation Realm, you'll feel depressed and desperate!"
Hearing this, Xu Ning thought of his past life. Back then, as a mortal, his life was relatively smooth. But if he suddenly thought about the colossal universe and stars, he would feel a terrifying sense of separation in his heart, which was very painful.
So sotis, people just can't let their minds wander. Cherish the present. Every day you live is a bonus.
Xu Ning asked, "Why would Sect Master Miao tell all this?"
Miao Yunyi said, "Having traveled with you for so long, I've always felt you resemble soone!"
Xu Ning said, "Sect Master, you've successfully piqued my curiosity. Who does he resemble?"
Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on . Report any occurrences elsewhere.
Miao Yunyi said, "My sixth disciple!"
Xu Ning asked, "Where is he now? I'd like to see him!"
Miao Yunyi shook his head, a hint of sadness in his eyes. "He was too ambitious, attempting to follow a path that had already been severed. In the end, his lifespan was exhausted, and he failed to achieve Foundation Establishnt!"
Xu Ning asked, "Then, Sect Master, have you seen his corpse?"
Miao Yunyi was taken aback, then shook his head. "No!"
Xu Ning said, "In the world of cultivation, anything is possible. Perhaps he has already achieved Foundation Establishnt, but is trapped in so secret realm!"
Miao Yunyi smiled upon hearing this. "That is indeed possible. My fifth disciple only returned recently."
Xu Ning said, "And if I'm not mistaken, the path that Sect Master Miao ntioned that has been severed should be a Foundation Establishnt cultivator of the highest grade or above, right?"
Miao Yunyi nodded. "That's right!"
Xu Ning said, "But that's not a severed path! Didn't many legendary Foundation Establishnt cultivators appear in the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion recently? This proves that in this era, there are still many people who have successfully traversed that path!"
Miao Yunyi sighed after hearing this. "Those are the chosen ones of heaven, the lucky ones favored by fate. How can my disciple compare to them!"
Xu Ning asked curiously, "In your impression, what kind of disciple do you have?"
Miao Yunyi said, "Timid and cowardly. Apart from being able to refine pills and such, he's nothing special! He's no different from an ordinary Qi Refining cultivator!"
As he said this, Miao Yunyi stared intently at Xu Ning, as if trying to discern sothing.
However, Xu Ning remained surprisingly calm. "If what Sect Master Miao says is true, how could your disciple possibly have ventured into that Path of Severance?"
Miao Yunyi was taken aback, then pondered for a mont before nodding. "Truly, your words have awakened from my dream! Thinking about it carefully, my disciple is indeed sowhat different, but actually, I don't value these things. I just didn't want to see him leave !"
"By the way, speaking of which, I just rembered. I heard that you, young friend, are also a Foundation Establishnt cultivator beyond the highest grade, right?"
Xu Ning said, "I am indeed so!"
Miao Yunyi asked, "I would like to ask, what grade?"
Xu Ning said, "Just a legend, not worth ntioning!"
Miao Yunyi was stunned. "A legend? Not worth ntioning?"
Is this even human language?
At this mont, Yin Qingli walked over. "Master!"
Miao Yunyi said, "It's been so long, I forgot to introduce you. This is my fifth disciple, Yin Qingli, a top-grade Foundation Establishnt!"
When he ntioned top-grade Foundation Establishnt, Miao Yunyi's face was full of pride. Although it was far inferior to legendary Foundation Establishnt, Miao Yunyi was still proud of his disciple.
Xu Ning cupped his hands. "A pleasure to et you!"
Yin Qingli returned the cupped hands, her tone indifferent. "You're too kind!"
Miao Yunyi asked, "Young friend, may I see that legendary foundation?"
Xu Ning said, "Sect Master Miao, that's going too far! How can you just look at the foundation like that!"
This was obvious. Because his Supre Foundation was of such a high grade, he couldn't use the Thousand Shadows Transformation technique to disguise it. If he revealed it, wouldn't that expose him?
If the news leaked, it would bring Xu Ning a lot of trouble.
Miao Yunyi said, "I was being presumptuous. I just wanted to see what it would look like if my disciple achieved Foundation Establishnt!"
Xu Ning's heart was filled with complicated emotions after hearing this. It seed that no matter what, this cheap master would always care about his life or death.
Xu Ning admitted that Miao Yunyi might not be a good alchemist, but he was definitely a good master.
Of course, Xu Ning wouldn't soften his heart because of this, so he cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry, Sect Master Miao!"
Miao Yunyi waved his hand and said, "It's alright!"
They continued their journey, and two months later, the group finally arrived at the summit of the North Sea.
This mountain range was covered in snow year-round, making the entire mountain range appear as if draped in a white coat.
At the sa ti, due to the constant freezing, the spiritual herbs here were extrely rare and scarce compared to other mountain ranges, and the living environnt was exceptionally harsh.
This resulted in very few cultivators and mortals here, and most of the land was unclaid.
It was for this reason that Xu Ning sent the Tiancheng Sect and Tianbao Sect here, allowing them to develop in peace.
After all, Miao Yunyi possessed the teleportation array blueprints given by Xu Ning and was certainly capable of crafting them. With the teleportation array, they could establish trade with other mountain ranges, naturally resolving the shortage of spiritual herbs.
However, arriving at the North Sea Peak brought only one question.
The group looked up and saw a towering peak piercing the clouds within the vast white mountain range, resembling the king of all mountains.
