Chapter 379: The Turning Point of Ji Ning's Fate

The world of *Desolate Era*.

Looking at the *Desolate Era* uploaded by Lu Qingshan, Beishan Baiwei at this moment wore a face full of puzzlement.

"A story about me?"

Although he still couldn't quite understand Lu Qingshan's words, he still planned to first follow Lu Qingshan's suggestion and take a look at this *Desolate Era* the other party had uploaded before saying anything further.

Very quickly, Beishan Baiwei opened this *Desolate Era* that only he himself could view, and then with the help of the chat group, all the contents of *Desolate Era* soon flooded into his mind.

The content about him in this *Desolate Era* wasn't all that much — basically it all centered on Ji Ning, whom he had left aboard the warship.

At the beginning, Ji Ning was bestowed a visualization method by Cui Fu Jun because of his merit, and then because of an accident in the Underworld, he carried his memories with him through reincarnation…

If it were only this much, it would be fine — at most it would just be the emergence of a slightly more dazzling genius.

But who would have thought that Ji Ning had unexpectedly obtained the legacy left behind by the great being of the Three Realms, 'Daoist Three Lives', and learned the super divine ability *Star Plucking Hand*!

"To think Ji Ning's opportunity was actually so miraculous!"

After seeing this, Beishan Baiwei couldn't help but sigh softly in his heart: "No wonder this Ji Ning was able to kill a Wanxiang True Person at the Purple Mansion realm — it turns out he had learned a heaven-defying divine ability like *Star Plucking Hand*!"

"But Ji Ning's opportunity was also one link after another. If he hadn't done good deeds back then, he wouldn't have received Cui Fu Jun's guidance, and at the same time he couldn't have possessed divine sense to pass the trial left behind by Daoist Three Lives!"

Thinking of this, Beishan Baiwei quickly went on to view the later content. He very much wanted to know — with such astonishing opportunity, how far could this Ji Ning walk in the future, and whether he would have a chance to become a Heavenly Immortal.

And afterward, the talent and strength Ji Ning displayed began to grow ever greater.

First he joined the Black-White Study Palace with his powerful talent, then because he had offended the Shaoyan Clan he ventured alone through the world, and finally, relying on numerous opportunities and powerful strength, he took first place in the Immortal Fate Assembly held once every three hundred years.

"To think Ji Ning's talent was actually this powerful!"

Seeing that Ji Ning had taken first place in the Immortal Fate Assembly and had become a disciple under Bodhi Ancestor, Beishan Baiwei couldn't help but sigh even more in his heart.

Although Ji Ning had obtained the legacy left behind by Daoist Three Lives, which of the geniuses who participated in the Immortal Fate Assembly didn't have opportunities of their own?

The fact that Ji Ning could stand out among the countless geniuses of the Great Xia World was enough to prove how terrifying his aptitude was.

When he saw this part, Beishan Baiwei's heart held only some sighs of admiration.

After all, across endless years, countless geniuses had long since been born in the many worlds, yet the number of those who could truly break through to the Heavenly Immortal realm was pitifully few.

But since Ji Ning had already become a disciple under the Ancestor, presumably there was still a great chance he would break through to the Heavenly Immortal realm in the future.

Immediately after, Beishan Baiwei went on to view the subsequent content of *Desolate Era*.

For example, Ji Ning's many trials in the world where Bodhi Ancestor resided; for example, Ji Ning's actions after returning to the Great Xia World; for example, Ji Ning's many experiences after being exiled to the Primordial Ruins World…

"To think Ji Ning's experiences were actually so bizarre!"

After finishing this portion of experiences, Beishan Baiwei couldn't help but sigh: "And the ancestor of my Beishan lineage, Tonghe Heavenly Immortal, is actually still alive — and his strength is still that powerful!"

"It's just that countless worlds have undercurrents surging — and it was actually the Wujian Gate pushing it all? This is truly too inconceivable!"

And afterward, Ji Ning's strength kept breaking through within an extremely short period of time.

First he broke through to become a Heavenly Immortal, then he became a mainstay in the war between the Great Xia World and the Wujian Gate, and later he even broke through to the True Immortal realm…

Immediately after, his wife Yu Wei turned out to be a spy of the Wujian Gate, and because of her betrayal she brought tremendous harm to the Great Xia side.

But Ji Ning did not sink into despair because of this; instead, he seized the opportunity to step into the fourth level of Heart Force, thereby leading the Great Xia side to victory in this earth-shattering war.

In the years that followed, in order to rescue his wife Yu Wei, Ji Ning continued to battle the Wujian Gate without cease.

First he slew a group of the Wujian Gate's Heavenly Immortals and True Immortals, and later he even entered that Moonlit Pool to cultivate.

Who would have expected that the Moonlit Pool was actually a legacy ground left behind by a super great being, for the very purpose of allowing the inheritor to transmit back to his sect the news of his own fall at the hands of an enemy.

Later, a cataclysmic great war erupted throughout the Three Realms, and even many True Gods and Dao Ancestors all perished…

The Heart Demon who had merged with the Heavenly Dao, the Heart General who had schemed in the shadows for endless years, the many True Gods and Dao Ancestors enslaved by the Heart General, and so on…

Every single one of these events shook Beishan Baiwei's soul.

And beyond the Dao Ancestor, there were actually still World Gods, One-Step Dao Lords, Two-Step Dao Lords, Three-Step Dao Lords, Four-Step Dao Lords…

Eternal Sovereigns (Masters, Lords of Other Cosmos), Supreme realms!

And above the Supreme realm, one could actually grasp an entire Chaos Universe and become an exalted Controller of the Chaos Universe who could dominate everything.

"To think the world I inhabit is actually this vast and magnificent!"

After reading all the content recorded in *Desolate Era*, Beishan Baiwei couldn't help but look at Ji Ning before him: "And this Ji Ning was actually able to reach such heights, and in the end even comprehended the Ultimate Dao and became a Controller of the Chaos Universe — this is truly too inconceivable!"

Thinking of all the things Ji Ning would experience in the future, Beishan Baiwei couldn't help but look at Ji Ning and praise: "Brother Ji Ning, I truly admire you!"

Regarding the Ji Ning of *Desolate Era*, Beishan Baiwei felt not the slightest jealousy — not even any envy.

After all, during Ji Ning's growth, he had experienced life-and-death crises more than once. If it had been someone else, they would probably have long since perished on the path of cultivation — how could they possibly have become a Controller of the Chaos Universe?

Moreover, it was precisely because of Ji Ning's existence that the Three Realms were not occupied by the Wujian Gate, were not destroyed by the Heart General, and the Chaos Universe was not occupied and remodeled by that Sith race!

Added to that, Ji Ning never forgot the bond between the two of them in the future either. The fact that he, Beishan Baiwei, could live until that time and drink together with a host of immortals and demons was absolutely because of Ji Ning.

At this moment, Ji Ning was feeling anxious and uneasy because Beishan Baiwei had kept him behind alone. Suddenly being praised by Beishan Baiwei, he was completely at a loss.

"Young Master!"

Ji Ning quickly said respectfully: "My being able to slay that True Person Xu Li was nothing more than a matter of rather good luck!"

"Brother Ji Ning, you needn't be too modest!"

Beishan Baiwei sat down directly, then pointed at a black chair not far away and said: "You sit down too! Also, I am called Beishan Baiwei — from now on you may simply address me as Baiwei!"

"Thank you, Young Master Baiwei!"

Ji Ning sat down to one side, then asked: "May I ask what matter Young Master Baiwei has in keeping me?"

"Naturally, it is to make friends with you, Brother Ji Ning!"

With a wave of his hand, Beishan Baiwei immediately sent a token over in front of Ji Ning: "This is my token. If anyone gives you trouble in the future, you may present this token — I trust the other party will give my Beishan Clan some face!"

"This…"

Ji Ning hesitated briefly, but still reached out and took the token, then said: "Once I reach Anchang City, I shall certainly pay my respects to Young Master Baiwei!"

But just at this moment…

"The Yinglong Guard is on official business, wishing to apprehend the members of the Ji Clan for questioning. We ask the master of the warship to do us the favor of cooperating!"

A cold, stern voice suddenly pierced in from outside into the interior of the warship.

"What is recorded in *Desolate Era* is true after all!"

Hearing this voice, Beishan Baiwei thought to himself: "It seems this person who has come should be that Xue Hongyi of Snow Longshan!"

However, in the original plot, Beishan Baiwei had not taken that Xue Hongyi seriously at all, and now, after coming to understand the vastness of this world, it was even more impossible for him to care.

Therefore, afterwards Beishan Baiwei merely dismissed Xue Hongyi with a few curt words, and even had the other party relay an order to the Yuanshen Daoist of Snow Longshan, saying that the Ji Clan was under the protection of the Anchuan Marquis Estate, and whoever dared to make trouble for the Ji Clan would be offending the Anchuan Marquis Estate!"

After dismissing Xue Hongyi, the experts under Beishan Baiwei's command quickly ascertained the scale of the elemental stone vein below, and Beishan Baiwei, just as previously agreed, soon signed a contract with the Ji Clan on behalf of the Anchuan Marquis Estate.

And after the contract was signed, Ji Jiuhuo, the Ji Clan patriarch, even planned to take another two-tenths from the three-tenths share of the elemental stone vein allotted to the Ji Clan and gift it to Beishan Baiwei, as a reward for Beishan Baiwei's protection of the Ji Clan.

But Beishan Baiwei had refused it in the original plot, let alone now!

"There is no need!"

Beishan Baiwei immediately said with a smile: "Brother Ji Ning and I hit it off at first sight. Your Ji Clan may rest easy—no one will squeeze you over this elemental stone vein. The belongings of Beishan Baiwei's friends, who would dare snatch them!"

Friends?

Hearing Beishan Baiwei's words, Ji Ning also felt a warmth in his heart.

"I will arrange for some soldiers to be stationed here to be responsible for excavating the entire elemental stone vein!"

Beishan Baiwei continued: "When the time comes, your Ji Clan can just send some people to do the mining, and the elemental stones dug out can be handed directly to the soldiers I have arranged!"

"Yes, Young Master!" Ji Jiuhuo quickly replied respectfully.

And just at this moment…

"Cough!"
