Chapter 969: The Paragon of Pills

The muscular man and Ji Ning advanced together into the shrine.

"Eh?" Inside the shrine, Ning saw lakes of flowing lava, next to which were strange trees that seemed to be made out of fine jade. Ning couldn't recognize where these trees came from.

Next to the lava lakes there was an ordinary-looking stone house, and there was a figure seated in the lotus position within the house. The figure sat there without moving, and from the looks of it had been there for countless chaos cycles already.

"Master." The muscular man walked over, then said respectfully, "I've chosen an honorary disciple for you."

Ning instantly realized that the figure seated in the lotus position within the stone house was most likely a fragment of the Hegemon's will and memories which the Hegemon had left behind prior to passing.
