Nine Lamps and Goodness

Two wondrous fruits, one for immortality, the other for strength.
After swallowing them, Chu Ning traveled to another world to cultivate the path of immortality.
Within a thousand years, Chu Ning said, "Thanks to the wondrous fruit, praise the wondrous fruit, brother awesome."
A thousand years later, Chu Ning reflected, "Thank oneself, praise oneself, the struggle is the most beautiful."
In this other world, Chu Ning had three famous sayings:
The first, "Not driven by profit, one may miss some opportunities, but will never suffer a loss."
Secondly, "longevity is just about living a life, so why not take life seriously from the beginning."
Thirdly, "if you can get along, you can get along. If you can't get along, you can negotiate. If you can't negotiate, you should kill someone in the downwind of the wind, this way, the ashes can be scattered cleaner…"

Other Golden Core Cultivators coveted Shanyang City, but considering the City Lord's talent, they all eventually chose to forbear.


Unless a Nascent Soul intervened, it was very difficult to kill a Golden Core Late Stage expert; launching an assault on Shanyang City and allowing the City Lord to escape could spell disaster if he truly broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm in the future, bringing calamity upon themselves and their descendants.


This saying was equally applicable in the circles of cultivators.


Especially if one had both talent and strength and couldn't be snuffed out in the cradle, everyone would choose to give such formidable geniuses some leeway.


If the City Lord of Shanyang truly advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm, it wouldn't be much of an issue; surrounding powers might even take the initiative to submit. But now, with his failure to break through to the Nascent Soul, he was bound to suffer a backlash.
