Ning Wangshu had naturally noticed the longing look in Bei Ji Tianzun's eyes, but at that moment, he really was deep in thought, weighing his options.
He had originally planned to kill Bei Ji Tianzun outright and destroy the Beiting Sword Sect.
But Bei Ji Tianzun's plea for mercy had given Ning Wangshu another idea.
Bei Ji Tianzun's strength was undoubtedly formidable. His secret art, the "Gate of Primordial Beginning," in particular, was terrifyingly powerful by the standards of the cultivation world.
Even though he had only recently entered the Late Stage of Mahayana.
That "Gate of Primordial Beginning" was truly astonishing. With this technique, he might not be able to defeat someone at the Mahayana peak, but he could certainly hold his own against one!
Moreover, as a Mahayana Earth Immortal, barring any accidents, his lifespan could reach around thirty thousand years.
Ning Wangshu had already used his immortal sense to examine Bei Ji Tianzun. He still had fifteen to sixteen thousand years left to live—just over half his lifespan.
His main purpose in returning to the Cangyuan Realm this time was to take advantage of the time difference between the Cangyuan Realm and Earth to refine immortal artifacts and improve his cultivation.
By Ning Wangshu's rough estimate, it would take at most one or two thousand years to refine all the more than eighty immortal artifacts he had brought with him.
Even if he included the few more immortal artifacts he had obtained from Ye Qingtian and the others, along with the Immortal Force collected from Tianjue Hall and extracted after refining Ye Qingtian and the other two, it would only take a few hundred additional years.
In other words, in about two thousand years, he could return to Earth.
By then, he could have Little Dot reactivate
