Chapter 184: The Truth of the Nightwatchers

After Bai He acknowledged it, Mo Zhu immediately adjusted his eyes so he could read the manual.

However, he did not forget to remind him.

"Host, even so, it is best that you pretend you cannot see anything. Otherwise, it may bring trouble."

The thing Bai He disliked the most was trouble.

So he scratched his head and said, "Shiyuan, what is this? Could the Cryo Sovereign be playing a trick on Xiao Feng?"

"Probably not, Master. There is only one word written on this manual, and that word is ’Nightwatchers.’ I think Junior Brother may be related to the Nightwatchers Tribe, which was wiped out by the demon race."

The Nightwatchers Tribe?

Bai He vaguely remembered this being mentioned in the original story.

Toward the end, when Xu Feng and Ye Shiyuan fought together against the demon and monster races, it was revealed that Xu Feng had a deep grudge against someone from the demon race.

"Members of the Nightwatchers Tribe are born with a bloodline different from ordinary people. Their numbers were already small to begin with. An entire tribe would only have a few thousand people."

Compared to the demon and monster races, which numbered in the tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, a few thousand was indeed very few.

The Nightwatchers Tribe had already been wiped out more than ten years ago.

Back then, the demon race had been the main culprit.

Although many people lamented the destruction of the Nightwatchers Tribe, no one took action to help.

After all, no one wanted to suffer casualties.

Bai He then sat down.

More than ten years ago, Xu Feng should have just been born.

He had survived by chance, and he probably did not know what had happened back then.

He did not know his own identity, nor did he know that he carried a blood feud as deep as the sea.

"The secret techniques of the Nightwatchers Tribe are the most powerful I have ever seen."

A voice sounded by his ear as the Cryo Sovereign walked over.

He did not go to Bai He first, but came directly here.

"Senior."

"I have given this manual to him. I have high expectations for his future."

Bai He felt somewhat complicated inside.

As his master, he himself had not given Xu Feng such great help.

"Thank you, Senior."

"You are welcome. Your eye for choosing disciples is quite good. Little boy, do not leave tonight."

Bai He looked confused.

What did that mean?

The Cryo Sovereign raised his hand and lifted Bai He’s chin.

"You are about to break through. I will help you. What do you think?"

Bai He thought he probably was not that bored and was simply helping him sincerely.

So he agreed, even if a bit reluctantly.

"Yes, Senior."

"As for your two disciples, have them leave. Tonight’s breakthrough must not be disturbed."

Bai He felt speechless.

Why did the Cryo Sovereign always speak in a way that made it sound like there was some deeper meaning behind his words?

Xu Feng only woke up after an hour.

To his surprise, his cultivation had reached the Golden Core stage.

For someone who had only been cultivating for a few months, reaching the early stage of the Golden Core was simply unbelievable.

Although cultivation progressed faster in the early stages compared to later on, such rapid progress was still extremely rare.

He could hardly wait to share this news with Bai He and Ye Shiyuan.

"Master, Senior Brother, did you see that?"

"We saw it. Xiao Feng, you must keep this manual safe. The Cryo Sovereign gave it to you. Do not lose it."

"Yes, Master."

Bai He carefully hid the manual, looking extremely excited.

"Are you finished talking? If you are, then you may leave."

The Cryo Sovereign seemed slightly impatient.

Ye Shiyuan glanced at Bai He and said, "Junior Brother, let us go first."

"Ah?"

Xu Feng was still confused.

He had only just woken up, so why was he suddenly...

He was inexplicably dragged away by Ye Shiyuan.

Only after leaving did he gradually come back to his senses. "Senior Brother, we were just driven out like that."

"Master is about to break through, so today we should not disturb him."

"Master is about to break through?" Xu Feng was even more shocked than when Bai He had seen him earlier.

His Master is about to breakthrough to Nascent Soul?

In the entire Lingguang Sect, was there anyone younger than Bai He who had reached the Nascent Soul stage?

Just in terms of cultivation level alone, Bai He could now be considered a true elder.

As for the other first generation disciples, at most they were only at the mid stage of the Golden Core.

Bai He obediently followed the Cryo Sovereign’s instructions and sat on a stone.

He saw the Cryo Sovereign pacing around him several times.

Be said nothing and simply observed him like this.

Bai He felt as though he had been completely seen through by him inside and out.

"Cryo Sovereign, what exactly am I supposed to do? Could you explain it clearly?"

"You do not need to say anything, nor do you need to do anything. Just stay here. When the time comes, I will naturally tell you."

When the time comes, when the time comes?

How would Bai He know when that time would arrive?

But after a while, Bai He felt a strange heat begin to spread through his body, extending into his limbs and bones.

At first, he could endure it, but later it became clear that he could no longer hold on.

"Mo Zhu!"

"Host, during your breakthrough, your consciousness cannot be temporarily separated. So host, you must endure it yourself."

These past few days, Bai He had grown used to the relief and now this situation felt especially difficult to bear.

The burning sensation became more and more intense.

He could barely hold on.

Even the figure of the Cryo Sovereign in front of him became extremely blurred.

He gasped for breath.
