Chapter 73

Ning Yue, Bai Luoluo, and Li Hangu finally arrived at the foot of Yan Chi Mountain, where the Yan Xing Sect was located. Li Hangu said with a somewhat relieved tone, "In one more day, we will be back at the Yan Xing Sect, and I can immediately arrange for Xiao Qi and Xiao Jiu to become disciples."

Ning Yue had been immersed in deducing the Ten Directions Illusionary Annihilation Technique for the past few years, and he had become much more silent. He did not speak now either. Bai Luoluo, however, seemed much more lively and asked, "Uncle Li, do you have a plan for whom Xiao Ge and I should become disciples of? I must say in advance that I will absolutely not be separated from Xiao Ge."

Li Hangu shook his head and smiled bitterly, saying, "Naturally, it will be under my teacher, Kucha. Could I possibly introduce you to outsiders? At most... it might be Uncle Lü who gets involved, but that would actually be better for you."

Ning Yue's face suddenly showed a hint of surprise, and he exclaimed, "It's done!"

Li Hangu and Bai Luoluo both turned to look at him. Suddenly, a green dragon flew out from Ning Yue's body, majestic and fierce, soaring straight into the sky.

Bai Luoluo was slightly surprised and thought to herself, "Isn't this the most powerful move in Xiao Ge's Ten Directions Illusionary Annihilation Technique, the Green Dragon Devouring the Master? Why would he suddenly use it? Isn't he exposing his identity?"

Li Hangu was even more astonished, unsure why Ning Yue would use such a powerful technique. Ning Yue was proficient in the Moonlight Wolf Sword and could use a second virtual form, which completely defied common sense.

Amidst Bai Luoluo's and Li Hangu's surprised gazes, Ning Yue casually spread out his palm, and a crystal in his palm emitted a brilliant light. In an instant, dozens of crystal screens flew out, one of which showed nine floating continents, the true face of the Nine Heavens Realm. However, Bai Luoluo and Li Hangu did not recognize it.

Ning Yue was now fully focused on deducing the secrets of the divine crystal, leaving no time for anything else. The divine crystal contained a strange force that was trying to draw his power away. After a brief estimation, Ning Yue abandoned the Tai Qing Heart Method and the Ten Directions Illusionary Annihilation Technique, allowing the divine crystal to absorb them. In the next moment, the power absorbed from his body merged with a mysterious temple.

Ning Yue only managed to seal his Void Dragon virtual form using a certain technique before a loud explosion shattered the space-time. When he regained his senses, he found himself back at 64 Fitzroy Road.

Bai Luoluo and Li Hangu, who had returned with him, were still in shock!

Ning Yue let out a strange cry and immediately pointed at the two, saying, "Don't move around and dirty the floor. Wait for me to get you slippers!"

Bai Luoluo and Li Hangu were so startled by Ning Yue that Li Hangu, who had already lifted his foot, awkwardly put it back down. They had traveled for many days, and while they didn't feel out of place in the Nine Heavens Realm, they now looked like country bumpkins in the modern world.

Ning Yue quickly fetched slippers and then arranged rooms and clothes for the two, telling them to take a shower first. Bai Luoluo and Li Hangu, still confused, were pushed by Ning Yue to clean up.

After temporarily settling Bai Luoluo and Li Hangu, Ning Yue returned to the living room and played with the divine crystal, now able to control over 20% of it and having a basic understanding of most of its functions.

He glanced at the antique clock in the living room to check the time. From the moment he left 64 Fitzroy Road, traveled to the Nine Heavens Realm, and returned, only about ten minutes had passed. In other words, Lu Wenyin might not even be asleep yet, and he had already completed such a significant task.

With control over the divine crystal, Ning Yue could now enter and exit the Nine Heavens Realm at will, which made him very pleased. Previously, the Nine Heavens Realm had felt like a place where he was trapped, but now that he could come and go freely, he found the Nine Heavens Realm more appealing than the main world.

In the main world, he was always constrained by the rules and unable to increase his power. In the Nine Heavens Realm, however, he could continuously enhance his strength until he became a deity of that world.

About ten minutes later, Bai Luoluo came out of her room, wearing a set of Lu Wenyin's clothes that were slightly too big but made her look even cuter. Her small, white feet were in cartoon slippers, giving her a very urban beauty look. No one would guess that she was from another world.

Another hour later, Li Hangu, who had clearly enjoyed a very comfortable bath and changed into a set of pajamas, also came out, looking very excited.

Bai Luoluo asked somewhat anxiously, "Xiao Ge, why is my power gone?"

Li Hangu also chimed in, "My power is also gone. Will it return when we leave here?"

Ning Yue shook his head and said casually, "The world you come from is called the Nine Heavens Realm, and this is the main world. The laws of the two worlds are different. The power level in the Nine Heavens Realm is much higher, so entering the main world will cause a drop in power. Even if you return, you won't be able to recover it."

Bai Luoluo and Li Hangu's faces changed dramatically. For them, power was like their limbs, an indispensable part of their lives. Losing their power was unimaginable.

Bai Luoluo pouted and immediately started crying. Li Hangu was also shocked, muttering to himself for a while, his expression extremely dejected.

Ning Yue didn't know how to comfort them and could only say, "If you want to regain your power, it's not that difficult. You just need to retrain."

Bai Luoluo's face turned red with tears, and she nodded, feeling very wronged. Li Hangu laughed, but it sounded far from joyful, rather tragic. His expression was very ugly as he said to Ning Yue, "I spent over twenty years to cultivate the Golden Goose Technique to this level. You want me to retrain... retrain until when? I'm already past the best age for martial arts training."

Ning Yue could only comfort them, "Don't worry, don't worry. With me here, it won't take more than a year for you to not only regain your power but also surpass your previous level."

Ning Yue was telling the truth, but Bai Luoluo and Li Hangu didn't believe him. They thought Ning Yue was just trying to deceive them. How could such power be so easily obtained?

Ning Yue tried to persuade them a few more times, but seeing that they still didn't believe him, he suddenly had an idea and said, "Luoluo, your Great Pagoda Technique hasn't declined, has it?"

Bai Luoluo focused for a moment and immediately nodded, saying, "Xiao Ge! My Great Pagoda Technique hasn't diminished."

Ning Yue clapped his hands and said, "You can start by training the Great Pagoda Technique. Once you master it, it won't be inferior to a fully completed tenth-stage Life Soul Map. When you return to the Nine Heavens Realm, it will be easier to train other Life Soul Maps."
