One day, after crossing over, Ning Qi sought only immortality.
With innate spiritual radiance bestowed upon him, he awakened full-level comprehension.
From that moment on.
Ning Qi...
Chapter 150 Thank you for helping me
Everyone looked towards the sky in shock.
This scene was different from what most people imagined. Even the loyal fans of Tianjian Zhenren probably did not expect such a situation. After all, the Sword Demon had always been extremely strong and had no rivals along the way. Even the Sun-Chasing Sword King was defeated.
Many people have speculated that the Sword Demon is only one opportunity away from reaching the ultimate state of swordsmanship. If such a being existed thousands of years ago, he would probably be a reserve Martial Saint.
But now.
But he was ruthlessly defeated by Master Tianjian.
"Is there really such a big difference between the ultimate realm and the realm below the ultimate realm?" someone sighed.
They could naturally see that Master Tianjian had reached the highest realm of swordsmanship, which was the fundamental reason why he was able to suppress the Sword Demon.
now.
Those heavenly swords were floating in the void. Although they did not emit any light, they were dazzling to everyone. With the aura of the Annihilation Demon Knife, people dared not look directly at the heavenly swords.
but.
The next moment, there was an even louder uproar.
Everyone looked towards the sky nervously, because after the demonic sword shattered, the remaining sky sword continued to move forward with unabated momentum, as if it was going to kill the sword demon in one fell swoop!
"What did the Sword Demon do to offend Master Tianjian, that he wants to be killed in one fell swoop?!" Everyone was shocked.
Generally speaking.
This kind of challenge almost never results in a fatal blow; this is an unwritten rule in the martial arts world.
Along the way, the Sword Demon only killed one old man named Xin Dao who was taking advantage of his seniority, and the rest were at most seriously injured.
Everyone was a little confused.
But the remaining many heavenly swords have condensed into a real sword cage, with peerless sword intent crisscrossing and imprisoning the Sword Demon inside.
The blind old man showed a look of surprise on his face.
He paused as he was about to leave and praised:
"What a broad mind! No wonder he erected the Zhenwu Sword Monument."
"I just don't know if he can go that far..."
But then, he slowly shook his head:
"I have reached the highest level of swordsmanship but have never tried. After all, I lack the courage and determination to make progress. Sigh..."
The blind old man looked up at the sky, wondering what he was thinking.
While the others were in shock, they heard Tian Jian Zhenren speak calmly:
"If you don't realize it now, when will you realize it?"
The Sword Demon's body shook, and he suddenly understood. A trace of gratitude emerged in his dark pupils. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he actually gave up resisting, then closed his eyes, crossed his legs, and sat down in this sharp cage full of surging sword intent.
In an instant.
The sword cage constructed by the Heavenly Sword gave off astonishing fluctuations, as rays of sword intent were drawn from all directions above the sky and below the earth, including the sun, the moon, the mountains and rivers, the water, the rocks, and the grass. Not only that, it did not have the slightest attack power, but instead gave off a special Taoist charm.
Sun-Chasing Sword King and the others were all stunned, and then a deep envy flashed in their eyes.
They have already seen through Master Tianjian's intentions.
This is not to kill the Sword Demon, but to help the Sword Demon attain enlightenment.
They did not blink, and were also trying hard to sense the artistic conception and Taoist rhythm emanating from the sword cage.
Ning Qi watched quietly.
The reason why he wanted to help the Sword Demon was not because he was suddenly kind-hearted. First, the Sword Demon was a swordsman who was extremely skilled in the sword. Doing a favor to such a person would only benefit him and not harm him. Second, he wanted to see if the Sword Demon could break through to the Martial Saint level after reaching the ultimate realm of the sword. To some extent, he could be regarded as using the Sword Demon as a 'guinea pig'.
certainly.
The main reason was that the Sword Demon was already very close to the ultimate realm. Even without Ning Qi's help, it would only take some more time. However, this time he was defeated by Ning Qi, so it would take a little longer.
In the sword cage.
Invisible sword intents penetrated the Sword Demon's body. After each sword intent passed through, the Sword Demon's face would turn paler and he would even let out a muffled groan. With the temperament of a peerless strong man like the Sword Demon, even he would be like this, one could imagine the pain he was feeling.
This is to let the Sword Demon truly feel the ultimate sword intent, so as to draw inferences from it.
If Ning Qi used the ultimate sword intent, the effect would be even better, but if he did so in front of everyone, it would definitely cause countless shocks. Now it is just right like this.
Everyone saw that the Sword Demon's forehead was covered with cold sweat as if he was being tortured, but no one questioned it. They already knew that Master Tianjian was helping the Sword Demon to attain enlightenment. Especially the people like Shenfeng Daozun, they were full of envy and even wanted to replace the Sword Demon with themselves. If they could make further progress in the way of the sword, they would be willing to endure torture that was ten times more cruel.
Time passes slowly.
It should have been a time of heavy snow, but the sun was at its highest point and all celestial phenomena were affected by the battle between two peerless masters.
I don’t know how much time has passed.
A roar that broke through the clouds, and the Sword Demon stood up from the sword cage. He howled towards the sky, his hair flying wildly, his black eyes filled with demonic intent, as if he wanted to compete with the sky for height. Some careful observers discovered that the hilt of the sword on the Sword Demon's waist had completely disappeared.
In an instant.
The sword cages rang together, and the heavenly swords exuded sword intent, and thousands of swords pierced through the body of the Sword Demon.
The sword demon vomited blood.
But his momentum did not decrease but increased. Lines of sword intent came from all directions of heaven and earth and transformed into a huge magic sword. In an instant, it split the cage of the heavenly sword open.
Everyone was shocked.
"The Sword Demon... has reached the highest level of the sword path!"
Every glance was filled with envy and awe.
But everyone knew that the most terrifying person was the indifferent Taoist priest in black robe. He waved his hand slightly, and the heavenly swords disappeared into thin air.
Everyone looked over.
The Sword Demon bowed and saluted solemnly to the Heavenly Sword Master:
"Thank you so much for helping me realize the truth!"
Master Tianjian did not dodge or evade, but accepted the gift calmly.
The black-robed Taoist said calmly:
"Your own merit."
Everyone was even more amazed.
The Sword Demon's enlightenment not only did not damage the power of Heavenly Sword Master, but instead made it even more powerful. From today onwards, people all over the world will not only admire Heavenly Sword Master's supreme strength, but also admire his unparalleled broad mind.
They knew that the war was now completely over.
A salute from the Sword Demon means surrender.
Of course, they also don't think that the Sword Demon will be a match for the Heavenly Sword Master after he breaks through. After all, judging from the current situation, the Heavenly Sword Master has probably entered the realm of swordsmanship for a long time, and his foundation is definitely deeper than that of the Sword Demon.
At this time, the Sword Demon bowed again:
"There is one more thing, please help me."
Ning Qi's eyes flashed, and the black-robed Taoist said indifferently:
"explain."
"This time, with the help of the Immortal, I have reached the highest realm of the Dao of the Sword. I am about to use this to break through to the realm of the Martial Saint. Please, Immortal, protect me!"
"good."
The two of them talked to each other.
Everyone was dumbfounded, and then excited.
I didn't expect that there would be such a scene after the war.
The Sword Demon wants to press on with his victory and enter the realm of Martial Saint!
No one could believe what they heard. Throughout the past two thousand years, apart from the Great Yan Martial Saint, there had not been any other Martial Saints born. And now, were they going to witness the birth of a Martial Saint?
Even Sun-Chasing Sword King and others couldn't help but feel their heartbeat quicken as they stared blankly.
Martial Saint, that is the realm that all martial artists in the world desire.
The Sword Demon took a deep breath, and then sat cross-legged in the void.
He chose this moment to break through because, firstly, this battle would fully stimulate his potential. Although his spirit was not at its peak at the moment, his determination and perseverance could not be better. Secondly, he probably understood the meaning of Tianjian Zhenren helping him to realize the truth and wanted to return the favor.
Master Tianjian has been in the realm of the Supreme Being for such a long time, but has not yet stepped into the realm of Martial Saint. Perhaps he has some concerns. Then he can just repay Master Tianjian with his experience of breaking through the realm.
The Sword Demon never owes anyone anything in his life.
As he thought about it, he swung his sword and cut off all the distracting thoughts in his mind.
Ning Qi watched carefully, with unprecedented concentration.
You can say that.
This was the first time he was so close to the Martial Saint realm.
Since the Sword Demon has chosen to break through, he must have made some preparations.
Under his gaze, the Sword Demon slowly closed his eyes, and an astonishing wave emanated from his body. In an instant, the rich power of heaven and earth gathered together, and many powerful people in the Heavenly Realm could feel it clearly.
then.
The Sword Demon's body was bursting with vitality, and a strange fragrance spread out. Some people couldn't help swallowing, and then covered their mouths in horror.
"This means that the essence of the human body has completed its mission and has achieved the fruit of the Tao, which means that the flower of essence is complete."
Ning Qi’s thoughts came to an end.
On the body of the Sword Demon, a strange fairy flower bloomed, layer upon layer. Although it was invisible and intangible, the magical thing was that everyone could sense its existence. After the flower of essence condensed, the originally surging power of heaven and earth seemed to have undergone some changes.
The sword demon attacked with all his might.
The internal energy in his body was mobilized with all his strength, and his divine will was bursting forth.
In an instant.
Two more fairy flowers condensed.
Flower of Qi!
Flower of God!
The three flowers are perfect, and this is exactly what it is.
No one was surprised at all. Not only the Sword Demon, but all the peerless strong men who could rank among the top ten of the Heavenly Man List were almost all strong men who had achieved perfection in the Three Flowers. At this moment, they were watching very carefully, fearing to miss the slightest detail, as they would take this path sooner or later in the future.
now.
As the three flowers condensed, the world was changing. Although the warriors with lower cultivation levels did not know what was happening, their instinctive fear had already made their bodies tremble.
The eyes of the peerless masters all became increasingly fiery.
They saw.
The three flowers have gathered at the top of the head, and some wonderful changes have begun to occur.
“The three flowers gather at the top of the head, and then what?” The peerless powerful men were itching to get excited.
And the Sword Demon seemed to have heard their cries.
With just a buzzing sound, the domineering demonic sword intent soared into the sky from his spine. It was put to use just as he reached the ultimate realm of swordsmanship. This was a method that the Sword Demon had accidentally obtained after exhausting his entire life's energy.
He created the three devil swords of heaven, earth and man, which in a sense correspond to the three flowers of heaven, earth and man.
Now the magic sword's sword intent lies across the three flowers, and thus commands the three flowers.
Ning Qi was shocked.
He watched the Sword Demon's breakthrough scene, and constantly verified it with the method recorded on the silver page left by Wu Jianghe. Flashes of inspiration kept appearing in his mind, and he suddenly had a completely new understanding of the realm of Martial Saint.
Miraculous changes occurred in an instant. The three flowers of essence, energy and spirit, which were originally only vaguely related, suddenly became a whole. The three flowers gathered at the top of the head, like a strange "funnel" or a "vortex".
Afterwards, the power of heaven and earth that had been surging and gathering seemed to have an outlet.
Through the 'Three Flower Funnel', they converged towards the body of the Sword Demon!
Everyone was in an uproar.
This is completely different from the resonance of the power of heaven and earth in the Heaven and Man Realm. It is actually to use oneself as a furnace to smelt the power of heaven and earth!
All the power of heaven and earth poured into the Sword Demon's body, and the Sword Demon's flesh began to tremble violently. His face turned red, then blue and white, and his body began to swell and then shrink. Everyone who saw this strange scene was sweating.
But as time goes by.
The Sword Demon's body gradually returned to calm, but the power of heaven and earth was still continuously flowing into it.
Sun-Chasing Sword King and the others felt dry in their mouths and dizzy:
“Is this… done?”
They actually saw the birth of a martial arts statue with their own eyes?
But Ning Qi's expression was still as solemn as ever.
He stared at the Sword Demon, as if he could see through his flesh body to see the situation inside the Sword Demon's body. He 'saw' that although the Sword Demon had forcefully absorbed the power of heaven and earth into his body, and even wanted to use the ultimate sword intent and the perfect three flowers to melt it, he still failed.
It seems that the body has returned to normal, but in fact it is still extremely dangerous. The fundamental problem has not been solved, and the form of the power of heaven and earth has not changed at all.
Ning Qi sighed inwardly.
He could see that the Sword Demon was going to fail because he was almost reaching his limit. Although he had known for a long time that the path to becoming a Martial Saint was not so easy, he still felt a little regretful when this result appeared before his eyes.
"Not good." He shouted inwardly.
Master Tianjian immediately took action.
The Heavenly Sword flew across the sky and slashed towards the Sword Demon. At this critical moment when the Sword Demon was breaking through, ordinary people could not intervene at all, otherwise they would be backlashed. But since Ning Qi had agreed to help the Sword Demon protect the law, he would not watch the Sword Demon die in front of him.
Among all the people present, he was the only one who had the ability to interfere.
No one was clear about what was going on, and some were even secretly horrified as to why Master Tianjian took action at this critical moment. Could it be that he was jealous of Sword Demon's imminent success?
But the power of the Heavenly Sword is unstoppable.
With one slash of the sword, the connection between the magic sword and the three flowers was instantly severed. The sword demon, whose body had gradually calmed down, suddenly opened his eyes. Everyone discovered that his dark pupils had turned blood red at some point, which was extremely horrifying.
With the help of the power of the Heavenly Sword, the Sword Demon shouted to the sky, and horrible blood holes suddenly appeared on his body. It was the power of heaven and earth that was contained in his body that was losing control. The Sword Demon was in a critical situation, but his face did not change at all. With a swipe of his right hand, his left arm was cut off at the root!
Blood mist gushed out, and the left arm that was severed at the root turned into a terrifying magic sword. The power of heaven and earth absorbed into the body also released along with this "magic sword".
The sword slashed towards the sky and then landed in the mountains far away.
All I heard was a loud bang.
The mountains collapsed, and a horrifying knife mark appeared in front of everyone, making everyone gasp. Both of them had been restrained just now, but when they lost control at this moment, they realized that the power of the knife demon's knife was so terrifying.
Everyone had complicated expressions.
At this point, they already knew that Master Tianjian was not taking advantage of the situation, but was trying to save Dao Mo. If the connection had not been cut off in time, Dao Mo would have died from breaking through the realm, and there would have been no heroic sacrifice afterwards.
Obviously.
The Sword Demon failed.
Everyone felt extremely regretful that they were not able to witness the birth of a legend with their own eyes, and at the same time, they couldn't help feeling confused.
Even Dao Mo, a peerless swordsman who has reached the highest level of swordsmanship, cannot reach the realm of Martial Saint. Who else can succeed? Is it true that the road ahead is blocked?
Some people couldn't help but look at the black-robed Taoist priest, thinking:
"Can Heavenly Sword Master do it? I'm afraid it will be extremely difficult... Otherwise, he has been trying to reach the highest level of swordsmanship for so long, I'm afraid he would have already stepped into the realm of martial saint..."
The blind old man's face was full of regret.
"Amazing talent, amazing talent, but he completed half a step by himself. How sad..."
His expression was slightly gloomy and he left quietly. He didn't want to watch any further. The purpose of his coming here was just to see if Master Tianjian was his old friend. Now that he knew he was not, he had no other ideas.
True Man Tianjian may be more evil than Dao Mo, but he was born in the wrong era after all.
Both Sword Demon and Heavenly Sword Master are already old. Unless there are unexpected events, it will be difficult for them to make great achievements in the future.
There was silence on Zhenwu Mountain.
The Sword Demon spat out blood towards the sky. His dark pupils looked up at the sky with a look of unwillingness, as if he was angrily asking the sky why the way forward was blocked.
The confusion and sorrow in everyone's heart made everyone feel sad, and they almost felt the same way.
Everyone roughly understood the Sword Demon's thoughts.
After hundreds of years of hard training, and even taking advantage of an opportunity to enter the ultimate realm of swordsmanship, he was unable to reach the realm of Martial Saint. The rest of his life was almost hopeless. For a pure warrior and swordsman like him, it was even more painful than death.
If it weren't for his strong will in martial arts, he would have really wanted to explode and die in the breakthrough.
"Thank you for your help, Immortal. I will remember this kindness in my heart." The Sword Demon's voice was hoarse.
He had a complicated look on his face.
He wanted to ask Kaikaiwen Tianjian how far he had come, but finally gave up.
Under the eyes of many people in the world.
The Sword Demon walked barefoot in the mountains with disheveled hair and soon disappeared. Everyone was silent, as if they saw the end of a hero.
The Taoist in black robe said nothing, and then landed in the back mountain of Zhenwu.
This earth-shaking battle finally came to an end.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, only to find that their backs had been completely soaked without them noticing. This battle was full of ups and downs, twists and turns, and it was truly an eye-opener for everyone.
First, the Sword Demon was defeated by Tian Jian Zhenren, who then displayed the ultimate realm of swordsmanship, which amazed everyone. Then, Tian Jian Zhenren helped the Sword Demon reach the ultimate realm of swordsmanship, which made countless people envious. Finally, the Sword Demon wanted to use this momentum to step into the realm of Martial Saint. Although he failed in the end, what they saw and heard today is enough to make everyone remember it for a lifetime.
It was already expected.
When the result of this battle spreads throughout the world, there will be a huge uproar.
Everyone looked towards the Zhenwu Sword Monument with unprecedented fiery gazes. After Tianjian Zhenren displayed such a high level of swordsmanship, even Zhuri Sword King and others could not help but desire this sword monument. It can be predicted that more peerless masters will come to comprehend and improve Ning Qi's swordsmanship.
Ning Qi couldn't help but smile slightly. This was a positive cycle.
but.
The biggest gain for him from this battle was watching the Sword Demon break through the realm.
He looked at the direction where the Sword Demon left, his eyes flashed, and a certain thought arose in his mind.
