The turmoil caused by Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi had finally died down. Yet online and in the real world, countless people were still discussing the battle between Ning Wangshu and the two goddesses—or, rather, talking about it with relish.
Still, people's lives had returned to normal.
The deaths of more than two million innocent people in Dongan City and Bei Lan City left many people sighing and lamenting.
But there was nothing to be done.
Ning Wangshu had managed to stop Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi from wiping out a third city and had successfully killed them. That was already a blessing amid misfortune.
No one could reasonably demand any more of him.
After his battle with Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi, Ning Wangshu returned to his peaceful life. Each day, aside from his regular cultivation, he spent time taking Lin Qingzhu and the others out to stroll and unwind.
He used magic to alter his appearance, so he didn't have to worry about being recognized, drawing a crowd, or even causing a commotion.
More than a month passed in this quiet, leisurely way.
During that time, Ning Wangshu also found time to meet up with Bai Jingchuan and Song Guowei.
After more than a month of cultivation, Lin Qingzhu, Ning Ruoxuan, and Zhu Xiyan had all gained a preliminary grasp of several True Dragon Treasure Techniques.
Lin Qingzhu's cultivation had also reached the Peak Ninth Layer of the Forming Yuan Stage. She was on the verge of advancing along the Golden Core Great Path.
Ning Ruoxuan had likewise made further progress, entering the Eighth Level of the Forming Yuan Stage!
With Ning Wangshu personally protecting her, Lin Qingzhu's breakthrough along the Golden Core Great Path went smoothly. It was much like Zhu Xiyan's breakthrough back then: everything fell into place, without a single hitch.
