#163 - Chapter 163 Qingmu Treasure Technique, Fourth-Level Quasi-Emperor
Jiang Ning nodded and disappeared from the Heavenly Emperor Palace.
Immediately using the Peng Bird Treasure Technique, the Wind Dragon Soul imprint manifested, heading towards Tianyue Academy.
His speed was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, he had already arrived at Tianyue Academy.
This period was precisely when Tianyue Academy was recruiting new students.
As the number one academy in the Northern Region, Tianyue Academy possessed incredibly profound foundations.
An old tree that had been guarding the academy for tens of thousands of years was even comparable to a human Great Emperor.
Therefore, when Tianyue Academy recruited students, geniuses from the Northern Region, and even other regions, would flock to it.
Jiang Ning arrived on the wind, looking at the academy with its deep foundations.
Just at this moment, a divine carriage arrived.
Pulled by three demon saints.
From this, it could be seen that the owner of the divine carriage had a very high status.
"Get out of the way!"
"Didn't you see my young master's divine carriage arriving?"
From the divine carriage, an old servant in blue clothes walked out, angrily shouting at Jiang Ning with a condescending attitude.
His whole body exuded the aura of a Great Saint.
"Old Bai, what's going on?"
"This is the last day of Tianyue Academy's recruitment, can you afford to delay this young master's important matter?"
From within the divine carriage, a young man's dissatisfied voice was heard.
Old Bai quickly said respectfully, "Young Master, I will go and drive him away immediately."
A fierce look appeared on his face.
He rolled up his sleeves, preparing to attack Jiang Ning directly.
Jiang Ning, wearing an ice sculpture mask, turned his head to look over.
"Ah~ Ice... Ice sculpture mask man!"
Old Bai was so frightened that his whole body trembled.
"Old Bai, what's wrong?"
"Quickly kill him, we need to hurry to Tianyue Academy," the young man said again with dissatisfaction.
"Young Master, we can't kill him, he... he is Lord... Lord Di Shitian!"
"What? Lord... Lord Di Shitian!" The young man was so frightened that he lost his composure.
Di Shitian of Tianmen made a great disturbance in the Holy City of the Northern Frontier, and the disappearance of the two female emperors had already alarmed the entire Northern Region.
The ice sculpture mask was his symbol.
"Hmph." Jiang Ning snorted lightly.
Boom!
An invisible force surged forth.
Instantly, the entire divine carriage was directly reduced to ashes.
This young man was probably filled with endless regret in his heart.
This was the heavy price paid for being accustomed to being domineering and arbitrarily bullying passersby.
It was just a group of buzzing flies, Jiang Ning didn't take it to heart.
After resolving it, he directly rushed towards Tianyue Academy.
…………
Inside Tianyue Academy, it was bustling with activity.
Countless geniuses came to sign up, wanting to pass the test and enter the academy.
Suddenly, the sky, which had been clear and sunny, began to snow heavily.
"Why is it suddenly snowing heavily?"
"What happened?"
Everyone felt very surprised.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh~
Endless snowflakes surged wildly in the sky, condensing into a huge ice sculpture face.
"What a terrifying giant face."
"Ice sculpture face? Could... could it be Di Shitian who caused a great disturbance in the Holy City of the Northern Frontier?"
Everyone looked up at the giant face in horror, trembling with fear.
"Crack! Crack~"
The ground began to crack and spread, and countless buildings collapsed.
The entire Tianyue Academy was frozen by the blizzard, forming ice sculptures everywhere.
Boom!
An immense pressure, like ten thousand giant mountains, pressed down on their backs.
Everyone in Tianyue Academy was prostrate on the ground, unable to lift their heads to look directly at the giant ice sculpture face.
At this time, the old tree hidden in Tianyue Academy had no choice but to take action.
A towering tree appeared in the air, its branches and leaves extremely lush, covering the sky and the sun, emitting a dazzling divine light.
It was precisely the ancient tree guarding Tianyue Academy.
"Young man, has Tianyue Academy offended you in any way?"
The old tree transformed into an aged, wizened old man, leaning on a cane, asking Jiang Ning.
"It has not offended this seat," Jiang Ning said indifferently.
The old tree said, "Then why do you want to attack my Tianyue Academy?"
Jiang Ning said, "To force you out, this seat wants the treasure technique you cultivate."
"The treasure technique is the old man's means of survival, I cannot give it to you," the old tree directly refused.
Taking his treasure technique was equivalent to taking his life.
"You don't know how to appreciate favors, this seat will chop you down and burn you as firewood."
Jiang Ning sneered.
A huge ice palm descended from the sky.
As if to pierce through the entire earth.
The old tree released countless branches and vines, huge and boundless, like spears, strangling towards Jiang Ning.
Boom!
The two collided extremely fiercely, shaking the nine heavens.
"Drip!"
"Drip!"
Green liquid flowed from the old tree's body.
Clearly, in one exchange, the old tree was defeated.
He was extremely shocked.
He was comparable to a human Great Emperor, although only the weakest kind of Great Emperor.
But how could the quasi-emperor opposite him injure him in one move?
It was truly unbelievable.
No wonder a quasi-emperor dared to make a great disturbance in the Holy City of the Northern Frontier.
"I'll give you one last chance, hand over the treasure technique, or die."
Jiang Ning's indifferent voice sounded again.
"If you want the Azure Wood Treasure Technique, you must take away the original roots; without the original roots, I cannot live either."
"Even if I risk my life, I cannot possibly give it to you."
The old tree gritted his teeth and said angrily.
"This seat does not need to take away your original roots, you only need to show it to me for a glance."
Jiang Ning's purpose was only to learn the Azure Wood Treasure Technique to help him comprehend the Law of Wood.
Taking away the original roots would not be of much use.
"Just one glance?" The old tree was stunned, looking at Jiang Ning in confusion.
What use was one glance?
Could he learn it?
That was obviously impossible.
Could there be some conspiracy?
Jiang Ning snorted coldly, "This seat's word is as good as gold, would I deceive you?"
"If you don't cherish this opportunity, this seat will have no choice but to start a massacre."
Under the threat of Jiang Ning's powerful strength, the old tree could only choose to believe him in the end.
He handed over the original roots.
It was three feet long, with flowing radiant lights and steaming divine essence.
"Here you go."
"I hope you keep your word."
Jiang Ning did not even touch the original roots, allowing it to float in mid-air.
[You carefully observed the original roots, triggering the Instant Learning Cheat, comprehending the Azure Wood Treasure Technique!]
"That's enough."
Jiang Ning waved his hand lightly, and the original roots returned to the old tree's side.
"You... you really learned it?" The old tree looked at Jiang Ning in surprise and confusion.
Jiang Ning waved his hand gently, and countless tree vines appeared in the sky.
Rumble~
A large mountain was directly shattered by the countless tree vines.
The heavy snow stopped, and Jiang Ning had already left Tianyue Academy.
At this time, the old tree was still standing there in a daze, unable to recover for a long time.
Heavens.
He actually learned the Azure Wood Treasure Technique after just one glance at the original roots.
What kind of heaven-defying, unbelievable comprehension was this?
No wonder a quasi-emperor could have such terrifying combat power.
...
After obtaining the Azure Wood Treasure Technique, Jiang Ning returned to Yellow Dragon Mountain.
Then he began to seclude himself to comprehend the Law of Wood and break through to the Fourth-Order Quasi-Emperor Realm.
After cultivating the most pure Wood-attribute treasure technique, the Azure Wood Treasure Technique.
Jiang Ning felt that the Law of Wood had become incomparably clear, within reach.
Boom!
In an instant, the area around Jiang Ning's seclusion was filled with flowers, plants, and trees.
Blooming incomparably, filled with a vibrant life aura.
Jiang Ning successfully broke through to the Fourth-Order Quasi-Emperor Realm!
Only the Law of Earth remained, and he would have the qualifications to prove the Dao and become an Emperor.
