A Peaceful Life, the Contents of the Bamboo Slip

Life returned to peace and tranquility upon my return to Brocade Zither City.

Chen Ning would occasionally do things with Hua Luo that seemed boring, but were actually quite peaceful and leisurely, such as catching birds, feeding fish, and planting trees.

These very ordinary things brought the girl a great sense of satisfaction.

Chen Ning felt that she was gradually moving towards becoming an ordinary person.

This is great news.

Hua Luo started talking more, and she even began to think about some simple questions.

To this end.

Chen Ning even slowed down his cultivation to focus on helping Hua Luo rediscover herself.

Besides.

He would also meditate with the young monks and listen to them talk about the scriptures and Zen principles that his master had taught.

Life seemed peaceful, but Chen Ning knew that this peace wouldn't last long.

He revealed his Darkness Divine Mark in the Star King Domain.

It probably won't be long before it alarms the Darkness God Clan.

Especially that guy called Blazing Star Lord.

He was very strong back then.

It belongs to an unattainable realm.

But now, Chen Ning has advanced to the Saint Realm Middle Stage, and has even fought against Great Saint.

So.

Chen Ning now roughly knew the level of the Blazing Star Lord.

He is stronger than the purple-robed elder of the Ximen Aristocratic Clan, but weaker than the head of the Ximen Household.

This indicates that Blazing Star Lord should be below the Saint King level but above the Great Saint Middle Stage.

I will eventually face him.

Only.

Chen Ning, however, brought this encounter forward somewhat.

Chen Ning isn't entirely sure about the scheme behind this.

But this is a step that must be taken.

Vast Land.

Darkness God Domain.

This is a realm ruled by the Darkness God Clan.

It is also the stronghold of the Darkness God Clan.

Countless palaces floated in the sky, like celestial palaces.

Above this sky, many figures occasionally darted across.

There were fairies in flowing colorful robes.

There was also an exceptionally handsome young man.

The graceful birds took flight and danced.

This place is blessed with prosperity, Spirit Vein converges, and vital energy flows like rain, creating a myriad of phenomena.

In one of the palaces, the Blazing Star Lord stood proudly, gazing at the distant horizon, and murmured, "Chen Ning, you've finally decided to use the methods of my clan..."

Since returning to the Vast Land.

Blazing Star Lord harbors a deep-seated hatred for Chen Ning.

Because it was during his reign over the Nine Provinces Realm that Chen Ning, an anomaly who broke through the barriers between worlds, emerged.

So.

He was punished by the clan elders.

I almost lost that cushy job.

It should be understood that being able to monitor a small world is a rare and valuable asset among the God Clan.

Fortunately, his bloodline was still relatively pure, which allowed him to keep his job.

But the only way for him to atone for his mistakes was to capture Chen Ning.

Although Chen Ning was very weak to him.

Even if they break through the barriers of the world and descend upon this Vast Land, they will still be like ants.

But.

The Vast Land vast that he couldn't find any trace of the other party.

Unless...

Chen Ning then took the initiative to unleash the Darkness Divine Mark.

Only then will there be a chance to capture him and bring him back to his clan.

Blazing Star Lord has been waiting.

Finally.

He had waited for this moment.

Blazing Star Lord revealed a cruel smile and said, "Chen Ning, enjoy the last bit of freedom you have left in your life..."

After he made his move.

Although the clan demanded that he be captured alive, it did not mean that Chen Ning still had a chance to survive. He would probably spend the rest of his life in the Darkness God Domain.

There is no freedom left.

"Brother, we also want to go with you to capture those people from the lower realm!"

"Yes, brother, please take us with you. We've never been outside the Darkness God Domain before, we're so bored."

Two young people, a boy and a girl, saw Blazing Star Lord leave the palace.

They all rushed up to beg him.

"I really can't do anything with you guys. Fine... You can come with me, but remember, you must listen to me in everything and don't do anything rash."

Blazing Star Lord looked at the two figures in front of him with a hint of helplessness.

The cheerful young man was only nineteen years old, but he was the son of an elder and an absolute direct descendant.

As for the young girl, she was also quite remarkable. Despite her young age, she possessed extraordinary talent and was receiving special training.

If they sneak out and get caught.

Blazing Star Lord will inevitably be punished again.

"Brother, I knew you were the best."

The girl smiled sweetly and gave a coquettish look, her eyes sparkling with joy.

The boy also became excited.

That's all.

Blazing Star Lord led the two away from the Darkness God Domain at breakneck speed.

Brocade Zither City.

Old Man Yang has locked himself up for several days.

Finally.

On this day, Old Man Yang, looking refreshed, pushed open the gate to his courtyard and stepped out.

As soon as I stepped outside.

Then he bumped into Nalan Yao.

The Old Man Yang withdrew his steps, wanting to retreat back into the yard.

Nalan Yao smiled and said, "Elder Yang, it's not good for you to eat alone."

Upon hearing this...

Knowing he couldn't hide it from the other party, the Old Man Yang regained his composure and said, "You've come to ask me about that bamboo slip, haven't you?"

"Yes, what the leader gave you is unique; none of us have such a blessing."

Nalan Yao made a sarcastic remark.

The Old Man Yang tossed the bamboo slip to Nalan Yao, saying, "You can read it yourself. I still need to go and pay my respects to the leader."

Nalan Yao quickly glanced at the contents of the bamboo slip, and after a while, she asked with some doubt, "Is the content here instructing you?"

The contents of the bamboo slips are instructions on circulating qi and practicing qigong, seemingly only for Old Man Yang.

"That's right."

The Old Man Yang chuckled.

Nalan Yao then asked, "Did it work?"

Old Man Yang said excitedly, "Although the content only slightly adjusted the methods of circulating qi and energy in many places, the effect is extraordinary."

The next moment.

A black flame ignited in the Old Man Yang's eyes.

And then it was gone in an instant.

This scene immediately made Nalan Yao cover her red lips.

They are all members of the So Close Yet Worlds Apart group.

They knew more or less about each other's methods.

Old Man Yang was reluctant to take action, not because he was unwilling, but because the cost of doing so would be too great.

This often leads to uncontrollable damage.

For example, in the Dongfang Aristocratic Clan, the entire Lineage was razed to the ground, leaving not a single piece of armor behind.

Extremely ferocious.

That's only one aspect. More importantly, every time the Old Man Yang used that forbidden ability, his life force diminished by a fraction.

Now.

The main reason why the Old Man Yang dared not use his strength too much was that he couldn't hold on much longer.

He will die after a maximum of three more times.

But at this moment, in front of Nalan Yao, the Old Man Yang calmly used that forbidden ability, controlling it with ease.

This greatly surprised Nalan Yao.

"This bamboo slip has so perfectly resolved the limitations of your forbidden ability; its contents are priceless to you."

Nalan Yao exclaimed in admiration.

But these bamboo slips seemed to be tailor-made for Old Man Yang; they would be of no use to anyone else.

This is why Old Man Yang generously shared it.

"The leader said this was left to you by the old leader, so why didn't he give it to you in the first place?"

Nalan Yao's eyes were filled with doubt, as if she were asking the Old Man Yang, or perhaps she was pondering it herself.

"Perhaps it's because I, this old man, did something that you couldn't."

"For example..."

"Loyalty to the leader."
