Chapter 182 Many Secrets

The Taoist priest in Baishan couldn't figure it out.

How on earth did Ning Qi do it? He could reach the perfection of heaven and man at the age of eleven. Not only that, he could also control the secret treasure of the Martial Saint and use his spiritual power so skillfully that he was in no way inferior to these old guys.

He had no doubt that once his spiritual power was revived and he had the method, Ning Qi could easily enter the realm of Martial Saint.

"I have never seen such an evil person in history. It's a pity. If he had appeared earlier, perhaps everything would have changed." He sighed in his heart.

Ning Qi nodded slowly, a look of realization in his eyes.

"I see. So what you want to eliminate are the Martial Saints who are born through their own practice, rather than those who are born with the help of external forces. In other words, the Martial Saints who are born with the help of external forces cannot pose any threat to you?" Ning Qi turned his head to look.

The Taoist priest Baishan gave a bitter smile:

"You kid, you're trying to trick me again."

Ning Qi curled his lips:

"Forget it. Then you can tell me when the so-called spiritual power will be revived, right?"

The Taoist priest at Baishan heaved a sigh of relief:

"That's not a problem. In about a year, the spiritual energy will completely recover and explode, and then it will reach its peak within a period of time. By then, many magical changes will occur between heaven and earth. This is an opportunity that can only be encountered by chance."

"If you can obtain the Martial Saint Method in advance, you can take the opportunity to enter the Martial Saint realm directly. I cannot give you the Martial Saint Method directly due to some agreements, but there are people who can."

Ning Qi's eyes flickered slightly:

"Who?"

The Taoist priest Baishan said with a smile:

"Your Zhenwu inheritance."

Ning Qi was shocked, and in an instant he thought a lot. Taoist Longshan had once told him the location of the underground palace where the Zhenwu inheritance was obtained. He had gone to see it in person, but only found some traces.

The Taoist priest at Baishan continued:

"Your Zhenwu inheritance is extraordinary. If you can lay a foundation with this martial saint method and catch up with the opportunity of spiritual revival, you may have a hope of soaring to the sky."

There was a certain expectation in his eyes.

After Ning Qi made his move, he was certain that Ning Qi was not the old turtle's backup plan, but was simply lucky. This made him a little jealous. This was really a stroke of luck. If he were to reincarnate and find that the Zhenxuan Sect had such an unprecedented and peerless evildoer, he would probably smile so hard that his mouth would be crooked.

Ning Qi asked:

"Where?"

The Taoist priest at Baishan looked out of the mountain:

"I don't know yet, but the old turtle will be born soon. Since your master obtained part of the Zhenwu inheritance back then, he must know where the Zhenwu Temple is. The Zhenwu Temple will definitely reappear before the spiritual energy is revived. Then you can go there as soon as possible."

Ning Qi nodded seriously. He didn't know who the old turtle that Taoist Baishan mentioned was, but he thought that he was probably the ancient saint who was the source of the Zhenwu inheritance, or was related to him.

He was somewhat looking forward to it.

Although he was absolutely sure that he could create a method to break through to become a Martial Saint on his own, it would naturally be better if he had a reference. However, he would not pin all his hopes on this. He secretly made up his mind to devote all his energy to studying the method to become a Martial Saint after returning to the mountain this time.

Originally, he planned to go down the mountain to travel and investigate the secrets behind the strange changes in heaven and earth, but now judging from the attitude of Taoist Baishan, it is basically impossible for him to get the truth.

The only way is to step into the realm of Martial Saint yourself.

“The revival of spiritual energy is an important node. Those ancient saints will probably take the opportunity to soar into the sky and gradually recover their previous realm. I’m afraid they are not comparable to ordinary martial saints. If I want to catch up with them or even surpass them, I need to continuously strengthen my foundation before the revival of spiritual energy.” Ning Qi felt a surge of motivation in his heart.

Only when you see how vast the universe is do you realize how small you are.

"Thank you very much." Ning Qi thanked him sincerely.

The Taoist priest at Baishan suddenly grinned, feeling refreshed:

"It's not easy to hear these words from you, it's worth my time and effort."

Ning Qi just glanced at him slightly.

However, although many secrets are now known, the most fundamental problem has not been solved. We do not know what the source of the great terror hidden in the world is. From the vague attitude of Taoist Baishan, it can be seen that it may not affect the promotion to Martial Saint, but it may also pose some hidden dangers.

If possible, Ning Qi still wanted to solve it.

However, he did not continue to talk about this matter, but just planned to try it secretly himself.

The two of them had unknowingly stepped out of the Sutra Library.

far away.

Many guests have begun to say goodbye to the three real people of Zhenxuan Sect.

What they experienced today really refreshed their worldview. Only then did they realize that so many ancient saints did not ascend to heaven, but survived to the present world through various means. Today's melee among several ancient saints may only be the beginning. It can be predicted that a new era is about to come and the world is about to experience a major earthquake.

They can't wait to report back on what happened today.

The Taoist priest at Baishan put his hands behind his back and looked into the distance, feeling somewhat emotional:

"After today, the world will change."

Ning Qi was silent.

The ancient saints have returned, no matter what the reason is, but at least the current situation will make some of them dissatisfied, and there will inevitably be disputes, thus redistributing interests.

He asked:

"You said before that the life span of a martial saint is only three thousand years. How did you survive to this day?"

Taoist Baishan was silent for a while, his eyes were slightly complicated, and after a long time he sighed:

"Each has its own methods, whether it's reincarnation, self-sealing, or bloodline inheritance. There may be other methods, but these three are the mainstream."

"But no matter which method it is, it has its flaws. If it is not necessary, who would be willing to do this? Zhenxuan is not Zhenxuan, Baishan is not Baishan. Who knows who I am now?"

That sigh made Ning Qi's heart sink.

He heard some confusion in it, and also understood the hidden dangers.

Ning Qi said solemnly:

"Whether it's Zhenxuan or Baishan, as long as their original intention is not forgotten."

Taoist Baishan was willing to tell him so much, obviously with the intention of promoting him. As for why, he had some guesses.

Taoist Baishan was stunned for a moment, then laughed in relief:

"That's right, don't forget your original intention, that's the truth."

He continued:

"The old Taoist priest and I use the method of reincarnation. We reincarnate once every period of time, and then restore all our memories when we reach the heavenly realm. When our lifespan is about to run out, we reincarnate again. This cycle repeats over and over again, as we swim through the long river of time step by step with difficulty."

Ning Qi's pupils shrank.

He thought of himself.

At a certain moment, he wondered whether he was also the reincarnation of an ancient saint, but his memory had not yet been recovered. But then he shook his head, thinking that this was not right, as he clearly remembered his past life, that he had traveled across time from Blue Star.

"What if I die during reincarnation?" Ning Qi asked.

The Taoist priest at Baishan smiled calmly:

"That means he really fell. Even if you were extremely powerful in the past, there is no possibility of him reviving. However, the stronger you are, the stronger the luck and talent of your reincarnated body, so the possibility of him falling is not that great."

"Of course, there are always some unlucky ones. There were many old guys in the past, but those who can survive to this day need luck."

"And how can there be no impact after multiple reincarnations? The memories of each life will affect oneself. Some people's temperaments may even change drastically, and then go crazy."

He said it lightly, but Ning Qi could sense the danger involved.

"The advantage of the reincarnation method is that you wake up earlier. As for the self-sealing method, each one is different. For example, the Barbarian Emperor sealed himself through luck after he fell to the Martial Saint Realm, so he was also one of the first to wake up."

"The bloodline inheritance method is the most dangerous and requires great sacrifice. It is not something that ordinary people can use."

At this point, Ning Qi could clearly sense the caution in Taoist Bai Shan's eyes.

“For example, the one who appeared today has been passed down through blood, so he has been able to walk the world and maintain his powerful strength, but the bitterness behind it is probably not something that outsiders can understand.” Taoist Baishan shook his head with admiration in his eyes.

Ning Qi said softly:

"The lineage of the Heaven-Slaying Martial Saint?"

The old Taoist priest at Baishan was surprised:

"You know?"

Ning Qi nodded:

"We met once before, and this old man seemed to be giving me some advice, but I didn't know much at the time and didn't realize it. When I stopped Baoshu Buddha just now, he should have recognized me."

“So that’s how it is.” Taoist Bai Shan suddenly realized, “Strictly speaking, he can’t be considered the Heaven-Slaying Martial Saint, but to some extent, he can be considered the continuation of the Heaven-Slaying Martial Saint. You will know it later.”

Ning Qi nodded slightly, knowing that this must involve the unspeakable secret, and stopped asking.

The two of them strolled leisurely, stepped into the sky, and looked down at the clouds.

After they no longer concealed their identities, they became more open and could speak freely. Ning Qi felt a long-lost sense of relief. This was the first time he fully displayed his strength in front of outsiders.

The two of them kept chatting, but it was basically Ning Qi asking the questions and Taoist Baishan answering them.

At some point, the Golden Crow descended, and Ning Qi let out a long sigh, feeling that he had benefited a lot.

I have been groping forward in the dark all along, but now that someone is guiding me, the feeling is naturally different. A lot of confusion has been cleared away, and the road ahead is suddenly much clearer.

"Thank you." Ning Qi said softly.

Taoist Bai Shan did not laugh, but nodded gently. He patted Ning Qi on the shoulder:

"Work hard, I am very optimistic about you. If those old guys knew you existed, they would be shocked."

As he said this, he started laughing again.

Ning Qi just chuckled, and then said:

"You are going to wait for the spiritual energy to revive in Zhenxuan Mountain next?"

The Taoist priest at Baishan just shook his head:

"Originally, I held the Heavenly Ceremony this time to see if any old friends would come. I didn't expect to wait for Bao Shu, the old bald donkey. It's unlucky, but it doesn't matter. I will just let the old Taoist open the curtain of this new era. There are some things that need to be done."

Ning Qi did not ask any further questions.

"If there's anything you need my help with, just write to me."

Taoist Bai Shan smiled and nodded. It was hard to say what would happen in the future, but Ning Qi’s current fighting power was not much different from that of an ancient saint. If something really happened, he would be a great help.

Ning Qi stepped away.

The voice of Baishan Taoist came from behind:

"Ning boy, I will ask those Taoists to send you some Taoism later."

Ning Qi's mouth curled up slowly. They had agreed to rob Taoist sects all over the world together. Now that the identity of Taoist Baishan was exposed, he only needed to reveal a little bit of his intention and those Taoist sects would naturally offer their scriptures to him. He waved back without looking back.

A moment later.

Ning Qi saw the anxious people from the Zhenwu Sect.

They were ready to leave, but found that Ning Qi was missing.

However, Taoist Longshan was still calm. He had guessed something. Ning Qi gave him a look, and he immediately understood. He waved his hand to stop the people who were about to ask:

"Since Xiaojiu is back, let's go back."

A group of people walked out.

Zhenren Baiye and others came over immediately. They were extremely friendly, even more so than when they went up the mountain before. They looked at Taoist Longshan with a bit of amazement, because when dealing with the aftermath of the ancient saints' melee, Taoist Longshan had displayed great strength and also protected many guests.

"I'm busy today and haven't been able to entertain you properly, please forgive me. Why don't you stay for a few more days?" Taoist Baixiang tried to persuade him to stay. He had a feeling that Taoist Longshan in front of him might surpass himself in no time. This frightened him a little. After all, Taoist Longshan had only been in the realm of heaven and man for a few years, and his talent was a little terrifying.

Taoist Longshan just waved his hand and smiled:

"I have been bothering you for a few days. Now that the True Lord has returned, I am afraid that there will be great changes in the world in the future. Longshan can only return to Zhenwu Mountain to prepare for it. I will come back to ask the True Lord for advice in person when I have time in the future!"

Everyone from the Zhenxuan Sect hurriedly returned the greeting.

The two sides exchanged polite words again, and the people from the Zhenxuan Sect watched the Zhenwu Sect members go down the mountain.

Baihe Zhenren couldn't help but sigh:

"A few years ago, I attended the Heavenly Man Ceremony of Longshan Zhenren, but I never thought that he would have improved so much in such a short period of time. It's really shameful. In my opinion, he already has the strength of the Heavenly Man Ranking. This speed of improvement is really terrifying!"

The others also nodded.

A voice said lightly:

"He has more than just the combat power of the Heavenly Man Ranking. I'm afraid it won't be long before he reaches Heavenly Man Perfection."

Several real people were stunned on the spot.

Perfection of heaven and man?

This cannot be explained by good talent. In just a few years, he transformed from the initial stage of the celestial realm to the perfect celestial realm. What kind of amazing opportunity does this require?

Then everyone reacted immediately:

"Greetings to the True Lord!"

The person who spoke was naturally Taoist Baishan. He looked at the people from the Zhenwu Sect from afar and waved his hand casually.

"The Zhenwu Sect is not simple. I need to make friends with them in the future and not rely on my existence to be superior to others."

The three real people were all shocked:

"Yes, True Lord!"

They had many guesses in their minds and were secretly shocked. It was impossible that Zhenjun's attitude was just because of Taoist Longshan. It could only mean that there were people in Zhenwu Sect who Zhenjun valued more. A name emerged in their minds at the same time.

Tianjian Zhenren.

The Taoist priest Baishan sighed again:

"You should practice hard in the next year. I will go out and find some opportunities for you. If any of you can reach the state of heavenly perfection within a year, I will give him a great fortune."

The three of them were all very excited.
