Chapter 328: Choosing The Arcanist World

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Sect Master, we are ready to report the duties of the five new elders to you.”

Elder Wei said respectfully to Xu Ning.

“You can decide among yourselves, there’s no need to report to me.”

Xu Ning waved his hand.

Elder Wei was taken aback. “Yes.”

Duan Chaomian, Yu Qiao, and the others couldn’t figure out Xu Ning’s intentions.

“I am going to the palace to see the Grandmaster and the Demon Lord. I will have to trouble everyone in the sect.”

Xu Ning instructed.

“Yes, Sect Master.”

The five responded at the same time.

“Oh right…”

Just before he was about to leave, Xu Ning stopped and said to Elder Wei, “When I’m not here, Elder Wei can discuss everything that must be decided by me with Elder Duan Chaomian and Elder Yu Qiao.”

With that said, Xu Ning disappeared.

“This…”

Xu Ning left, but the people who stayed looked at each other.

Xu Ning’s intentions were obvious. He was letting go of his power. Moreover, he obviously had the intention of grooming Duan Chaomian and Yu Qiao.

‘Could it be…’

A thought flashed in Elder Wei’s mind. ‘Sect Master has already reached the realm of the Demon Lord. Does he want to be like the Demon Lord and get rid of his responsibilities before breaking through to the grandmaster realm…’

Elder Wei thought about how after Xu Ning became the sect master, the first thing he did was not to use his power, but to transfer a large amount of resources to cultivate.

He also realized that maybe from the beginning, Xu Ning’s purpose in joining the Core Sea Demon Sect was not for the ultimate position of the sect master, but for the resources.

‘Sect Master’s talent is too terrifying…’

Elder Wei thought about Xu Ning’s advancement speed over the past two years and his heart trembled.

This kind of performance was much stronger than the Grandmaster back then.

…

Duan Imperial Palace’s forbidden land.

Inside a dark space.

“Another failure…”

Duan Huiyao opened his eyes in the dark. There was a hint of helplessness in his eyes. “The environment in this outer world is worse than the Arcanist World.”

Duan Huiye had always sent his clones to the Arcanist World, but he repeatedly failed to achieve his goal and made no progress. Helpless, he obtained the coordinates of another world from Duan Huiye.

It was just that in this world, Duan Huiyao discovered that the road ahead was still as difficult. Before he could figure out the origin of that world, his clone was erased while pursuing the transcendent power of that outer world.

“The true origin consumed this time will take another half year to recover…”

Duan Huiyao sighed. “In half a year, I will explore the Arcanist World again.”

“Mmm…”

Duan Huiye was sitting opposite of him.

Seeing how Duan Huiyao had suffered another setback in another outer world in such a short period of time, he felt regretful for Duan Huiyao.

Just when Duan Huiye was about to speak and encourage Duan Huiyao, the two noticed something and their expressions changed.

‘The aura of a peak dao realm master is approaching!’

Duan Huiye said, “This aura is very familiar!”

“It’s Xu Ning!”

Duan Huiyao was shocked. “He has advanced to the limit of the dao realm?”

“That’s right!”

Duan Huiye was also shocked.

With that said, the two of them disappeared from the dark space at the same time.

The two figures appeared in the forbidden land of the palace in the next instant.

Inside this spacious forbidden land of the imperial palace, there were giant trees standing tall.

There was a giant flower bud on top of each giant tree.

Additionally, a dark space was stationed in each flower bud.

The sealed space that Duan Huiyao and Duan Huiyao were in just now was situated on top of the largest tree in this giant forest.

The two arrived outside the giant forest and looked into the distance.

Soon after, Xu Ning arrived here under the guidance of a guard leader.

After bringing Xu Ning here, the guard leader left.

“Grandmaster, Demon Lord!”

Xu Ning greeted the two.

After arriving at the palace, Xu Ning took out his sect master token and proved his identity as the sect master of the Core Sea Demon Sect.

Seeing it, the members of the Duan family did not dare to hesitate. They followed Xu Ning’s request and brought him to the forbidden land.

“Xu Ning, you are amazing!”

Duan Huiyao praised him straightforwardly, “No wonder you were not enthusiastic when I passed the position of sect master to you. You already foresaw your breakthrough!”

Both Duan Huiyao and Duan Huiye finally understood Xu Ning’s intentions.

They did not ask Xu Ning how he managed to fuse the true spirit and the world origin in such a short period of time. Both of them knew very well that Xu Ning must have his own fortuitous encounters.

“Xu Ning, you should know that it is time for you to search for the origin of outer worlds.”

Duan Huiye said, “Moreover, you should understand why we let you practice the Ink Feather Clone Technique.”

“Yes, I have already sensed my future advancement path. Thank you both for caring for me.”

Xu Ning said, “Next, I should determine the coordinates of a few outer worlds, but the space-time turbulence has blurred the locations of the outer worlds. It will take decades to determine the coordinates of a certain outer world.”

“Have you mastered the Ink Feather Clone Technique?”

Duan Huiye asked.

“I have.”

Xu Ning responded.

“Then are you prepared to explore an outer world since you have come here?”

Duan Huiye already guessed Xu Ning’s intentions.

“Yes, I hope to obtain the coordinates of an outer world from Grandmaster and Demon Lord.”

Xu Ning said.

“Who will manage the Core Sea Demon Sect once you leave?”

At this moment, Duan Huiyao asked again.

“My ruling rights have been temporarily given to Elder Wei, Duan Chaomian, and Yu Qiao.”

Xu Ning said.

After Duan Huiye heard this, his eyes twitched.

If that was the case, after the Core Sea Demon Sect went around in circles, it was entirely possible for it to return back to the Duan family’s hands.

“Alright, I will give you the coordinates of an outer world.”

After that, Duan Huiye and Duan Huiyao brought Xu Ning into the flower bud on the tallest tree.

Next, they were transported to a dark sealed space.

‘This place seems to be isolated from the outside world, it’s like a stable independent space…’

Xu Ning sensed.

“I have the coordinates of eight outer worlds in my hands, choose one.”

Duan Huiye explained the situation of the eight outer worlds to Xu Ning.

Duan Huiye didn’t hold anything back from Xu Ning.

Xu Ning had been a close friend of the Duan family ever since his reputation began to rise. Thus, he was naturally on their side.

The stronger Xu Ning was, the faster his progress would be, which would also be beneficial for them.

If Xu Ning improved greatly, he might be able to act as a trump card when they fight against Yu Zhiyin in the future.

‘I’ll choose this Arcanist World then…’

After hearing Duan Huiye’s explanation, Xu Ning easily made his decision.
