Chapter 125: Is Xiaojiu the Heavenly Sword Master? Zhenwu Sect's Big Move (Two in One)
Zhenwu Dojo.
All the disciples gathered together, looking excitedly at the two people in the front, they were Taoist Longshan and Luo Wentian.
Today is an extremely important day for the Zhenwu Sect.
It means inheritance and development.
Taoist Longshan was dressed in a pure white Taoist robe that fluttered in the wind, his eyes filled with emotion. He suddenly looked back, as if he saw the path he had taken. After decades of development, the Zhenwu Sect had become a world-famous top sect.
However, more efforts are needed.
The Zhenwu heritage records the glory of the Zhenwu sect in the past. Even the Martial Saint once appeared there, and it was extremely glorious in this world.
He turned his gaze towards his eldest disciple, and gradually became solemn:
"Today, I will officially hand over the Zhenwu Sect to you. You must always bear in mind the mission and lead the Zhenwu Sect forward. Is it possible?"
Luo Wentian’s body trembled.
He was excited and stressed at the same time.
Taoist Longshan had mentioned to him about taking over the position of sect leader a long time ago, and he had always been worried that he would not be able to do it well. But now, he has finally made up his mind to try his best to do it and fulfill his master's wish.
He realized that his previous worries were not that important.
With the cultivation level at Bai Wu Realm, he is barely qualified to be the leader of a sect, and he will continue to improve. It is only a matter of time before he breaks through to the Jade Liquid Yuan Dan in the future. After practicing the Sleeping Dream Technique, the cultivation level of many true disciples has improved at an alarming speed. They have realized how terrifying the technique given by Ning Qi is, which is enough for them to break the conventional records of cultivation.
Apart from that, with the suppression of Taoist Longshan and Zhenren Tianjian, he doesn't have to worry about anything else.
After all, Taoist Longshan has now broken through to the realm of heaven and man and needs more time to practice. He is just hiding behind the scenes, not that he is no longer in charge. If he really encounters something that requires Taoist Longshan's intervention, he will not stand idly by.
Luo Wentian only needs to concentrate on handling the sect's development affairs.
He is very good at these things. It can even be said that in the past ten years, although Luo Wentian did not have the title of sect leader, he already had the de facto status of sect leader.
This is also the reason why Taoist Longshan chose Luo Wentian to succeed him.
This is necessary if the Zhenwu School wants to continue to develop.
Luo Wentian took a deep breath, suppressed the many thoughts in his heart, and then shouted solemnly:
"I will devote my entire life to living up to the trust of my master!"
There were tears in Longshan Taoist's eyes. He put on the Taoist crown and robe of the sect master for Luo Wentian, and then said in a loud voice:
"From today on, Luo Wentian will be the second generation leader of our Zhenwu sect! You all must work together under the leadership of the leader to revitalize Zhenwu!"
The disciples were also very excited. They all bowed and shouted:
"I've met the Sect Master!"
"Work together to revitalize Zhenwu!"
The snowflakes in the sky are flying, but they cannot extinguish the enthusiasm of the Zhenwu disciples.
If we don't count the previous history, the Zhenwu School is actually still a very young sect. The disciples will consider themselves, but there won't be too many conflicts. Most people are willing to devote their efforts to the sect, even at the cost of themselves.
Ning Qi looked at this scene and felt deeply moved.
He had been in the mountain for ten years and witnessed the first change of the sect's leader. Perhaps there would be many such things in the future, but this time was the most important to him because that was his master and senior brother.
He is the protector of Zhenwu, guarding the safety of Zhenwu, and the eldest brother will succeed the sect leader and lead the sect's development, which is good.
Every true disciple was delighted from the bottom of their hearts. No one felt that Luo Wentian was unworthy of the position. Apart from him, no one in the Zhenwu sect was more qualified to be the sect leader.
far away.
Some well-known figures in Qingzhou were invited to watch the ceremony, including those swordsmen who had been meditating at the Zhenwu Sword Monument. They saw the amazing cohesion of the Zhenwu Sect and were all amazed in their hearts that a top sect with a thousand-year heritage was about to be born before their eyes.
With such cohesion, it would be hard not to rise.
Some people began to have some thoughts.
They learned some news that after Luo Wentian succeeded as the sect leader, there would be big moves and the Zhenwu sect might expand.
If I could join the Zhenwu Sect now, it would definitely be an opportunity.
…
Mingwu Pavilion.
There are only three people: Luo Wentian, Taoist Longshan and Ning Qi.
Luo Wentian was a little puzzled. Originally, he wanted to talk to Taoist Longshan about his recent plans today. Having just succeeded to the position of sect leader, he had great ambitions and wanted to take advantage of the attention he received to do something big. Unexpectedly, Taoist Longshan called Ning Qi over.
It’s not that he felt his status was different after he succeeded the position of Sect Leader, but he was a little surprised that the other fellow disciples did not call him by name but Ning Qi alone.
But the first sentence from Taoist Longshan left him stunned.
Taoist Longshan said with a smile:
"Xiao Jiu is the True Martial Protector."
"Protector?" There was a question mark in Luo Wentian's eyes.
Taoist Longshan began to explain.
"The protector is the one who protects the Zhenwu lineage. He is the only one who can practice the Zhenwu Sect's peerless martial arts, the Zhenwu Posture. Only the Sect Masters of all generations are qualified to know the identity of the protector. You must remember that no matter who the Sect Master will be in the future, the protector is above all else. He has the power to dismiss the Sect Master at a critical moment, so the identity of the protector cannot be revealed easily."
He was half joking, half serious.
He naturally knew Luo Wentian's character, but if it was someone else in the future, they might not be able to keep their original intentions. If someone had other inappropriate thoughts, the protector would come in handy at this time and could turn the tide and restore order at the critical moment.
The reason why Luo Wentian and Ning Qi were called here today was to have a showdown. Since Luo Wentian had become the leader of the Zhenwu Sect, he was qualified to know all this. This was also the result of the discussion between Ning Qi and Taoist Longshan.
Luo Wentian's heart was filled with turmoil, and then he said solemnly:
"Disciple understands!"
He looked at Ning Qi with some amazement.
At this moment, he figured out some of the things he didn't understand before. The preferential treatment he showed to Ning Qi in the past was not only a preference for Ning Qi, but also allowed the protector to grow rapidly.
The peerless standing martial art - Zhenwu Standing!
He immediately understood why Taoist Longshan asked Li Ling to practice the Bi'an Posture. It turned out that Ning Qi was no longer within the scope of the Nine Sons of Zhenwu.
He also understood why his master had not asked everyone to pay too much attention to Ning Qi's level of cultivation.
"Xiaojiu, you really hid it well." He smiled helplessly, but he was more excited.
He was thinking that with Xiaojiu's talent, he would definitely be a pillar of the sky when he grows up. With such a person protecting the Zhenwu Taoist lineage, it would be more stable. As for the fact that the protector had more power than the sect master, he didn't care at all. Like Taoist Longshan, he only hoped that the Zhenwu sect would prosper forever.
Luo Wentian continued:
"Xiaojiu, if you need anything in the future, just tell me. We will use all our strength to make you the Optimus Prime of the Zhenwu Sect as soon as possible!"
He felt that his master had confessed Ning Qi's identity to him today so that he could make things easier for Ning Qi in the future and provide him with all the resources.
He did not hesitate and expressed his opinion immediately.
He felt that this was what he should do.
But the words fell.
Taoist Longshan and Ning Qi laughed, especially Taoist Longshan, who looked at Luo Wentian as if he was a fool.
Luo Wentian was stunned.
He was somewhat confused and said hesitantly:
"Master, is there anything I said wrong?"
Taoist Longshan laughed:
"Xiao Jiu...he has long been the Optimus Prime of our Zhenwu Sect!"
His laughter was filled with endless emotion and satisfaction, as well as a certain relief.
All along, he was the only one who knew Ning Qi's identity. Now there was finally someone to share the burden with him. He felt an indescribable joy.
Luo Wentian was completely stunned.
Thousands of thoughts and ideas came to his mind, but he rejected them one by one.
Taoist Longshan did not continue to keep the secret, and said with a smile:
"Perhaps you are more familiar with his other identity."
Luo Wentian's breathing became rapid, and he had some guesses in mind, and his eyes subconsciously widened.
"Master Tianjian!"
As Taoist Longshan said this, he was completely dumbfounded. He was petrified and his mind was filled with confusion as if struck by thunder.
"Xiao Jiu is... Senior Tian Jian? How is this possible?!"
Luo Wentian couldn't believe it.
If anyone else had said this, he would have probably refuted it as nonsense on the spot, but this was what his most beloved master said, and Ning Qi even smiled at the side.
He tried hard to digest the shocking news.
This is definitely the most explosive news since he took office as the sect leader, and the rest have to take a back seat.
Taoist Longshan and Ning Qi just watched with a smile, waiting for Luo Wentian to digest and accept this fact.
After a while.
Luo Wentian finally came back to his senses.
He smiled bitterly and shook his head:
"Xiao Jiu, you really scared the heck out of Senior Brother!"
to be honest.
Originally, everyone had discussed Ning Qi's cultivation in secret, but they all felt that Ning Qi had been practicing for seven years and might have already achieved great inner power, or at most reached the state of inner perfection, which was already an extremely exaggerated guess.
Among them, Ye Qinghe mentioned that Ning Qi might have reached the White Mist Realm, but everyone felt that it was a bit exaggerated.
Seven years of Gang Yuan, even the martial saints throughout history could not have such a speed of cultivation.
But today.
After hearing from Taoist Longshan that Ning Qi's other identity was Tianjian Zhenren, Luo Wentian's worldview was shaken. This was really too shocking.
In just seven years, he has reached a height that other geniuses may not be able to reach even after hundreds of years.
He felt suffocated just thinking about this horrible time comparison.
At this moment, many of the doubts in my heart were resolved.
Ning Qi felt a little apologetic:
"Big Brother, I didn't mean to hide it from you..."
The words have not been finished.
Luo Wentian interrupted, his eyes full of sincerity:
"Xiao Jiu, I understand everything. This is the right choice. I even think that you and Master shouldn't have told me today!"
He looked solemn.
After being shocked, he couldn't help but start to worry. If his enemies knew about this terrifying talent, they would be unable to sleep or eat, and would try every means to get rid of Ning Qi. This would be extremely detrimental to both Ning Qi personally and the future of the Zhenwu Sect.
Taoist Longshan waved his hand:
"It's okay. As far as you and I know, you must keep your mouth shut. Now that you have succeeded the Sect Master, I must tell you these things, so that you and Xiaojiu will not be able to discuss some matters in the future when I am not around."
Ning Qi also smiled and nodded:
"That's right, don't worry, big brother."
This was the result of his discussion with Taoist Longshan. Some things were destined not to be kept secret for a lifetime. Luo Wentian's character was beyond doubt. The most important thing was that Ning Qi's strength was gradually growing. Except for a very few people who could make him wary, the rest could not pose a threat to him.
Luo Wentian let out a long sigh and continued to digest this shocking news, but the excitement in his heart had begun to gradually rise.
It’s exciting to think about having such a charismatic junior brother!
The True Martial Protector, the True Man of Heavenly Sword!
When the identities of these two people overlapped with Ning Qi's identity, he knew very well what it meant.
His mouth stretched into a grin.
Although the Zhenwu sect has been very popular recently and famous all over the world, there have also been some sour remarks. Most of them are focused on the lifespan of Master Tianjian. The last time Master Tianjian fought with Master Jinglei Daozun, many people felt that Master Tianjian was very old and might not live for a few more decades.
If Taoist Tianjian passed away, the Zhenwu sect would only have Taoist Longshan left, and its prestige would plummet.
But now he knew that Master Tianjian was his own junior fellow apprentice.
Damn it, his life span is limited, and my junior brother is still the rising sun!
Luo Wentian felt more and more confident.
"Master, Xiaojiu, I want to expand the Zhenwu Sect and make some reforms to it."
Taoist Longshan and Ning Qi smiled at each other.
"You are the sect leader. Just do whatever you want. Your ninth junior brother and I will support you."
Ning Qi said:
"Big Brother, when I was free, I created many martial arts secrets and placed them in the Sutra Library. You can use them to strengthen the strength of my Zhenwu disciples. If you have any problems, feel free to tell me."
Luo Wentian couldn't help but sigh:
"So those were all created by you, Junior Brother. When you taught us the Dreaming Technique, we already had some guesses, but Master always said that he acquired it in his early years, so we didn't think much about it. But now that I think about it, there are a lot of loopholes. How come there are a few more secret techniques every once in a while?"
He smiled.
Taoist Longshan and Ning Qi also laughed. In the past, they had concealed their identities and things were not so smooth. Now that they were open and honest, things were much better.
Ning Qi said:
"There are many more than before. The Tempering Body Realm Stance has some superior Stance Stance. I have also optimized the Nine Zhenwu Stances to be close to the peerless Stance Stance, but the difficulty of cultivation remains the same. In addition, there are also some Die Jin Gong, Gang Jin Gong, and killing martial arts and secret techniques. You can use them according to your own experience, Big Brother."
Luo Wentian was excited.
"Okay! With your support, Xiaojiu, if I still can't make some achievements, I will be too ashamed of your efforts!"
He is rubbing his hands and is eager to try.
The next day.
Luo Wentian summoned many disciples and announced a series of reforms.
first.
That is, all the former true disciples were appointed as elders and pre-elders. Among the current ten true disciples, except for the three younger ones, the others have already stepped into the White Mist Realm.
After being promoted to the White Mist Realm, one can become an elder, while the three younger ones are reserve elders.
According to the different personalities of each person, he set up many halls in turn, such as punishment, power transmission, medicine garden, foreign affairs, etc., and let them be responsible for them. For example, Xiong Shi was iron-faced and impartial, so he was in charge of the Punishment Hall. Although the Zhenwu Sect is united now and there are very few dirty things, they still have to prepare for the future. After the expansion, it is inevitable that some bad apples will sneak in.
In addition, after becoming an elder, everyone can accept disciples, but it is not mandatory.
Secondly.
Inner and outer disciples are also reclassified based on age and cultivation.
Some who have exhausted their potential will be chosen to leave the ranks of disciples, share more of the sect's affairs, assist in the sect's development, serve as managers of major halls or persons in charge of the industries at the foot of the mountain.
But it will not block their room for advancement, as they can also exchange various martial arts secrets and resources based on their contributions to the sect.
As for some young people or those with great potential, the focus is on cultivation, and at the same time, some external affairs tasks are issued to allow them to gain experience while also contributing to the sect.
This will form a virtuous cycle.
at the same time.
Luo Wentian further refined the assessment criteria for outer sect members’ promotion to inner sect members, which not only focused on their cultivation, but also required a combination of their character and contributions to the sect.
As for the true disciples.
This is different from before. In the past, all true disciples were accepted by Taoist Longshan, and as long as they were his disciples, they were true disciples. However, Luo Wentian felt that this would discourage the disciples' enthusiasm to a certain extent.
therefore.
He reformed it.
There is no longer a limit on the number of true disciples. One can be promoted from an inner disciple based on his cultivation and contributions, or he can be specially admitted as a true disciple because of his extraordinary talent since childhood. However, all the requirements are extremely strict and not easy to obtain.
Especially for the Zhenwu Nine Postures and subsequent inheritance, Luo Wentian also planned to pass it on to only nine people.
They must be the nine most outstanding true disciples.
…
As the reforms were announced one after another, everyone was amazed. Some ambitious disciples even had their eyes shining and were extremely excited.
This is indeed a big move.
And we have to admit that after such a sorting out, the Zhenwu Sect has become more vibrant, the framework of the sect has gradually become clearer, and it can burst out with more powerful vitality.
Ning Qi listened.
I felt deeply moved and thought that my senior brother was born to be the sect leader.
So many things are arranged in an orderly manner.
Luo Wentian looked around at everyone and said:
"As the Zhenwu Sect prospers, we will gradually adjust the sect structure in the future. If you have any good suggestions, please feel free to put them forward."
"Two last things."
"First, I have asked someone to compile your contributions to the sect in recent years. Based on these contributions, everyone can enter the Sutra Library once and exchange for martial arts skills!"
"Second, after three months, the Zhenwu sect will open its doors to recruit disciples!"
Everyone was boiling with excitement.
"We thank the Sect Master!"
Taoist Longshan looked pleased.
The current Zhenwu Sect is slowly becoming a top sect, and he did not entrust his trust to the wrong person.
The news of the Zhenwu sect's great movement spread quickly throughout Qingzhou, and then spread to other places at an extremely fast speed.
Many people were excited when they heard that the Zhenwu Sect was reopening its doors to the public. Some ambitious young men even set out at night and traveled thousands of miles to come.
There are also some Gangyuan Realm strong men who are tempted when they know that they can join the Zhenwu Sect halfway. Although the standards for joining halfway will be stricter, the competition will be more intense, and they can hardly get in touch with the core, it is still better than having no sect at all.
Luo Wentian took a series of measures.
The Zhenwu School is showing even more vigor.
There are changes on Zhenwu Mountain every day.
The last time there was such a big commotion was the Heavenly Ceremony of Taoist Longshan. This time it was even more serious. Many pavilions began to be replanned and divided into various functional areas. For example, a new Sutra Pavilion was built to store ordinary Taoist scriptures and some less precious martial arts.
The Sutra Repository, which was originally very close to the Qiu Dao Temple, stored even more precious unique skills and secret techniques, as well as the Taoist scriptures that Ning Qi wanted to read.
After knowing that Ning Qi was the Taoist Master Tian Jian, he felt very relieved about this scripture library.
The Zhenwu sect is thriving.
Ning Qi was also filled with joy.
Emotionally speaking, witnessing his master's sect grow stronger day by day gave him a sense of satisfaction from the bottom of his heart.
In other aspects, as the Zhenwu Sect grows stronger and has more powerful people, it will naturally be better able to collect many resources for him. The sect is a huge organization, and it has never been a unilateral way of teaching disciples to give everything. After the disciples grow up, they also need to contribute to the sect.
Some exotic fruits and flowers, rare and unique books, unique secret techniques, Taoist classics...all these things certainly did not come out of thin air.
Instead, they gain knowledge through disciples and then contribute it to the sect in exchange for the martial arts they want and resources that are more suitable for them.
Therefore, Ning Qi felt that Luo Wentian's refinement of the contribution system was extremely helpful.
certainly.
In fact, this was not the work of Luo Wentian alone. As early as the first two Zhenwu Peach Meetings, the fellow disciples had already begun to discuss the details, and many of the suggestions came from Ning Qi.
Now it is only being implemented by Luo Wentian. As the new sect leader, drastic measures will naturally enhance his prestige.
If we say that this is Luo Wentian’s only disadvantage now.
It’s just that his cultivation level isn’t that high.
It has only been two years since he broke through the White Mist Realm. According to his original cultivation speed, it would take him more than ten or even twenty years to reach the Jade Liquid Realm. Even now with the help of the secret techniques and elixirs created by Ning Qi, it is impossible for him to break through the Jade Liquid Realm in two years. After all, it took Ning Qi himself a year to go from the White Mist Realm to the Jade Liquid Realm.
But Ning Qi also has a solution.
He gave Luo Wentian some trump cards. For example, he created a technique called Fu Gang, which could allow Luo Wentian to burst out with amazing fighting power at critical moments, making the fake look real. Just one chance to show it would be enough to make people never question the sect master's strength again.
Just wait for a few more years, and your cultivation will be further broken through to the Jade Liquid Realm or the Yuan Dan Realm, then you will no longer need to rely on external forces.
There is no way around it.
Even though Ning Qi created many secret techniques to speed up cultivation, it would be impossible for them to achieve success overnight. Breaking through several realms and reaching the level of a celestial being in just one or two years went against the common sense of cultivation. After all, even he himself needed to accumulate slowly, step by step, when he was in the Gangyuan realm.
In fact, thanks to the many secret techniques created by Ning Qi, the cultivation speed of Luo Wentian and others has broken the norm. For example, the seventh disciple Song Cheng and the sixth disciple Sun Chuanhai have already entered the White Mist Realm in their early thirties, which is faster than the previous Taoist Longshan.
If they hadn't been aware of the impact and blurred their own age, they would have probably attracted a lot of shocked looks.
"If you want to break through faster, normal practice can't be faster than this. Either you have a great opportunity and swallow the treasures of heaven and earth, or you hurt your essence and burn your life to speed up your practice, but the gain is not worth the loss."
Ning Qi shook his head.
There is absolutely no need for this to happen for either him or his fellow disciples.
For him, burning his lifespan to speed up his cultivation is putting the cart before the horse.
He practiced cultivation in pursuit of immortality and freedom. Now everything is fine and he just needs to follow the routine.
"When I reach the Heavenly Man Realm or the Martial Saint Realm in the future, I will reorganize my martial arts and should be able to further increase the speed limit of my cultivation."
As for now.
Ning Qi still needs to focus more on himself.
He closed his eyes.
Swallow the ninth blood jade pill.
The distance to breaking through the Yuandan realm is getting closer and closer.
