Chapter 123: Journey to the High Heavens, Enlightenment on a Rainy Night (Two in One)
Zhenwu Mountain.
Many disciples gathered together, it was very lively, and Li Ling's apprenticeship ceremony was being held.
Li Ling knelt down and kowtowed respectfully, and then offered tea to the teacher:
"Master, please have some tea!"
After learning that he was about to join the Zhenwu Sect, he was extremely happy. What he had seen and heard recently made him very envious of the Zhenwu Sect, especially the relationship between the many true disciples. He was actually very lonely in the palace in the past.
The reason why those royal children were close to him was mainly because of his status as King of Zhenbei.
Taoist Longshan smiled and took a sip of tea:
"Get up. From now on, you are the eleventh true disciple of the Zhenwu Sect. Our Zhenwu Sect does not have any rules or regulations. We only ask that you act with a clear conscience. You should keep this in mind."
He was in a good mood as well.
Recently, he has accepted two disciples with excellent qualifications. He feels that the enthusiasm he had in teaching Ye Qinghe and others has returned again.
"Disciple will remember it in heart!" Li Ling nodded vigorously.
Everyone laughed happily and offered congratulations.
Li Ling greeted all his fellow brothers and sisters, and Ning Qi and others also presented gifts with a smile. Zhuang Chen was very excited. He had always gotten along well with Li Ling, and he didn't expect that they would become brothers in the blink of an eye. The world is so wonderful.
King Zhenbei smiled with relief when he saw this scene.
He felt that his choice was right.
After witnessing Li Ling's apprenticeship ceremony, he went down the mountain and left. Before leaving, he talked to Taoist Longshan about exchanging sword skills with Taoist Tianjian, and promised that only Li Ling would watch and he would never get involved.
In addition, he also informed Taoist Longshan, saying that he would arrange several masters to be near the Zhenwu Sect. If there is any help needed, please feel free to contact them. The resources needed for Li Ling's practice will also be prepared.
This made Taoist Longshan very emotional.
A few days later.
Taoist Longshan officially began to teach Li Ling the Zhenwu inheritance, and he planned to teach Li Ling the Bi'an Posture.
On the martial arts field.
Luo Wentian and Xiong Shi were watching, and they were filled with emotion when they saw this scene. Six or seven years ago, Ning Qi made his initial steps in martial arts, and Taoist Longshan taught him the Bi'an Posture here. Now the scene was repeated, but the person he was learning martial arts from had changed.
Li Ling is considered a genius, but he is far inferior to the monster Ning Qi.
The two smiled at each other, both remembering the embarrassment they experienced back then.
They were a little surprised that Taoist Longshan taught Li Ling the Bi'an Posture, but they were relieved soon.
Li Ling was a little excited.
In the past few days, he had heard Zhuang Chen mention the Nine Postures of Zhenwu and the wonderful expectations of the nine celestial beings fighting the Martial Saint several times. He originally thought that he might have no hope of learning the Nine Postures of Zhenwu, but he did not expect that his master would actually teach him.
But after the excitement, he couldn't help but hesitate and asked:
"Master, isn't Ninth Senior Brother practicing the Bi'an Posture? If I practice this skill again..."
He felt a little bad, as if he had taken away something from his ninth senior brother. Although it was not explicitly stated that only one person could practice the Nine Postures of Zhenwu, all the disciples thought so in their hearts.
Taoist Longshan said with a smile:
"It's okay. Xiaojiu has his own way. If you encounter something you don't understand in the future, you can ask him. Xiaojiu's Bi'an is more powerful than mine."
His decision to teach Li Ling the Bi'an Posture was not a spur-of-the-moment decision, but the result of careful consideration.
The Nine Postures of Zhenwu are the foundation of the Zhenwu inheritance. Originally, Qin Yun's departure made him somewhat sad, and he was also hit in this regard. But then, the old man Shenjian entrusted him with the task of accepting Zhuang Chen before his death, which actually broke his knot.
In that case, let’s just gather nine again.
Ning Qi is the protector of Zhenwu Taoism, and he practices the Zhenwu Posture, so the Bi'an Posture is naturally left empty.
If nothing unexpected happens.
It would be impossible for him to accept disciples again.
Li Ling was somewhat shocked. He did not expect that Senior Brother Nine was so powerful. He had heard Zhuang Chen talk about Senior Brother Nine's amazing abilities these days, but he did not expect that he could practice the Bi'an Posture even more advanced than his master.
"Come on, keep practicing."
Taoist Longshan explained the essence of the Bi'an Posture. Li Ling, as expected of the son of the King of Zhenbei, understood it immediately, allowing him to fully enjoy the pleasure of being a master.
A moment later.
He asked Luo Wentian and Xiong Shi to practice with Li Ling, while he himself walked towards the Qiu Dao Temple.
Seeking Taoism in the courtyard.
Ning Qi was still trying to comprehend the Heavenly Thunder Blade. He had been much more relaxed since King Zhenbei came down the mountain. He didn't need to be so vigilant. He would activate his sword intent from time to time, brandishing the Thunder Dragon Blade Qi, savoring the changes in it. He was waiting for a violent enough thunderstorm, and if that didn't work, he planned to go to Gaotianyiguan.
Of course, he values his life very much and would never go any deeper.
When Taoist Longshan stepped into the Qiudao Temple, he just saw Ning Qi slashing with a knife, the thunder dragon roared, and then disappeared into the void.
He was a little surprised.
If Ning Qi hadn't actually been standing there, he would have thought that it was the Thunder Blade Master who had arrived.
It was just a battle, but he learned all the other person's unique skills. It's too amazing.
Ning Qi turned around and said with a smile:
"Master."
He waved his hand and the Sky Thunder Blade flew into the house. If someone else had come, he would have put away the Sky Thunder Blade long ago. However, he knew it was Taoist Longshan and he had just had some new insights, so he did not stop.
He asked Taoist Longshan to sit down and then made tea.
Taoist Longshan took a sip of tea and felt refreshed. His mind became clearer. His eyes lit up and he asked:
"This tea is good. Where did it come from?"
Ning Qi pointed to the waist-high Wudao tea tree next to him and said with a smile:
"It's not the tea leaves' work. Dew condenses on the young trees of the Wudao tea tree every morning, so I asked Tiansheng to collect it. If Master gets up, I'll ask Tiansheng to send some to you later."
Taoist Longshan looked at it and couldn't help but sigh:
"You made the dead seed Wang Quan sent to you alive. If he knew, he would be so angry that he would come back to life."
At that time, the Demon Sect not only attacked the Zhenwu Sect, but also attacked the rebuilt Wang Family.
Several powerful people in the realm of heaven and man died together, and Ancestor Wang was nowhere to be found, so Taoist Longshan just thought he was dead.
Ning Qi smiled slightly.
"Master, are you here for something this time?" Usually, Taoist Longshan seldom came to disturb him when he had nothing to do.
Taoist Longshan nodded and got down to business:
"It's the King of Zhenbei. He hopes to exchange with Tianjian Zhenren."
He explained the King of Zhenbei's requirements and promises one by one.
Then he asked:
"Do you think it's feasible? If not, I'll send him a letter to reject his offer."
Ning Qi fell into deep thought.
Naturally what Li Ling wanted to learn was Heavenly Sword Technique, but he really couldn't learn it. It wasn't that Ning Qi looked down on him, but Heavenly Sword Technique required mastering the secret technique of the unity of man and nature. This step alone was extremely difficult. In addition, it also had high requirements for Gang Qi and sword intent. This was a peerless secret technique that could be used to defeat the Heavenly Man Realm at the Gang Yuan Realm stage.
But Ning Qi can adjust.
The key to turning it into a secret sword technique that can only be used by those in the Heavenly Man Realm is to teach Li Ling the sword intent.
As for the problem that Ning Qi is not convenient to teach, it is also easy to solve.
The formless body can be used as a substitute.
Think about it this way.
Ning Qi thought it was feasible. It was nothing more than spending some time to make adjustments, get some prerequisite sword skills, and let Li Ling follow step by step. Finally, he could master the weakened version of Heavenly Sword in the Heavenly Man Stage.
The reason why he was so concerned was not because he coveted King Zhenbei's Heaven-Suppressing Fist.
Instead, he was attracted by the power of King Zhenbei.
Ning Qi was thinking that maybe he could get some information about the Martial Saint realm through King Zhenbei. King Zhenbei was a peerless powerhouse ranked seventh on the Heavenly Man List. He himself might be a perfect Heavenly Man, very close to the Martial Saint realm. Besides, he was a member of the royal family after all, so he should know some Martial Saint secrets.
This is more worthwhile for him than any inheritance.
But it also depends on whether King Zhenbei is willing.
Ning Qi said slowly:
"It's not a problem to teach Xiao Shiyi the way of the sword. Xiao Shiyi and I are all brothers. I will teach them when they reach a certain level. But I hope to get some information from King Zhenbei."
"Information about the Martial Saint realm."
Hearing this.
Taoist Longshan was shocked.
He instantly understood Ning Qi's thoughts, and realized that he had already started to prepare for a rainy day.
He nodded and said:
"No problem. I'll send a letter to King Zhenbei about your conditions in a few days. If he agrees, I'll tell you immediately."
After all, the King of Zhenbei had just come down the mountain, and it was a bit strange to say that Tianjian Zhenren had agreed now. It didn't fit with Tianjian Zhenren's solitary and withdrawn personality.
He then added:
"I will also pay more attention to it, and I will ask some old friends for you when I have time."
He had not paid much attention to the realm of Martial Saint in the past. After all, it was too difficult. Just reaching the realm of Heaven and Man required a lifetime of effort, and the realm of Martial Saint was a legend in every era.
But think about it.
His disciple has reached such a level when he is less than ten years old. Perhaps he can reach the realm of Martial Saint in less than ten years. It is necessary to prepare in advance. He cursed himself inwardly for being negligent.
Ning Qi smiled and nodded.
The master and disciple chatted for a while, and Ning Qi watched Taoist Longshan leave.
…
Time passes slowly.
Li Ling gradually integrated into the Zhenwu Sect. With the help of his fellow disciples, he built a small courtyard around Zhuang Chen and named it Chijianyuan.
He already knew that Zhuang Chen was born with sword bones. He was amazed and felt a lot of pressure at the same time, but soon this pressure turned into motivation. Both of them loved swords, and they confirmed each other and had healthy competition, which would lead to faster progress.
This is also the origin of the name of the Crazy Sword Academy. Li Ling knows that his talent in swordsmanship is not as good as Zhuang Chen. If he wants to keep pace with Zhuang Chen, he must work hard and be obsessed with swords.
at the same time.
He also knew about the existence of the Zhenwu Peach Club, and only regretted that he had not been able to become a disciple earlier this year.
He thought that he would get some fun things from the palace during the Zhenwu Peach Festival next year.
Li Ling would occasionally ask Ning Qi for advice on the Bi'an Posture, and Ning Qi did not hide anything, which enabled Li Ling to make extremely rapid progress in the Posture Training. This made Li Ling even more aware of the extraordinary nature of this ninth senior brother.
The storm between the battle between Tianjian Zhenren and Jinglei Daozun gradually subsided.
The Zhenwu sect is more lively than ever.
The existence of the Zhenwu Sword Monument attracted many top swordsmen to come and comprehend the way of the sword. Fortunately, they were all very sensible and no disputes occurred. After sitting there for a while, many true disciples gradually put their minds at ease and began to think about going down the mountain to gain experience again.
Jiang Baishan was the most active, which immediately attracted teasing from many fellow apprentices.
"Fifth Brother, when Master Jinglei Dao was challenging Senior Tianjian, a disciple told me that he saw you talking and laughing intimately with a girl. The girl was dressed in white and was breathtakingly beautiful." The fourth disciple He Yan winked.
Li Ling laughed and said:
"Fifth Senior Brother, that won't be our future Fifth Senior Sister-in-law, right?"
All the true disciples burst into laughter.
Jiang Baishan blushed and rolled his eyes at Li Ling:
"What do you three kids know? Go play somewhere else."
Then, seeing that everyone was still smiling, he simply gave up:
"So what! Her name is Lin Ruhua, and she and I are almost inseparable. Humph, you bachelors still dare to laugh at me?"
Ye Qinghe raised her eyebrows, grabbed Jiang Baishan's ear and asked who was the bachelor, which made Jiang Baishan beg for mercy immediately.
Everyone laughed even more happily.
Finally.
Luo Wentian smiled and waved his hands, then asked seriously:
"Old Fifth, since you have already established a relationship with Miss Lin, why don't you take this opportunity to bring her to meet our master so that we can get to know our future brother and sister-in-law. If you don't bring her back when you get home, the girl will think you have other ideas."
"Brother, I want to remind you that once you have chosen a Taoist partner, you must be devoted to him/her and never abandon him/her!"
As he spoke, his voice became a little serious.
He knew how Jiang Baishan and this girl Lin Ruhua met. At first, this girl almost cut off Lao Wu's hand. He didn't expect that they turned out to be his enemy.
Jiang Baishan immediately protested:
"I definitely don't have any other ideas, but Ruhua may still have some concerns. I will try to convince her and bring her back to participate in the Zhenwu Peach Festival next year!"
He vaguely realized that Lin Ruhua's identity was not simple, but he felt that as long as the two of them loved each other, they could overcome all difficulties.
Everyone immediately gave a thumbs up.
Ning Qi also smiled and said, "Come on, Fifth Brother."
Watch Jiang Baishan go down the mountain.
Afterwards, several fellow disciples went down the mountain to gain experience, while the rest practiced on the mountain.
Ning Qi's Seeking Dao Institute returned to peace again.
Now, when the white ape is not practicing, he often hangs out with Zhuang Chen and Li Ling. If Ye Qinghe is there, it's a combination of three people and one ape. They are "rampant" in Zhenwu Mountain and its vicinity, and the surrounding strange beasts have suffered. For example, the former Iron-Armed Ape. The white ape will take a few people to take advantage of him from time to time. This little guy holds a grudge and always remembers the time when he was bullied by the Iron-Armed Ape.
Ning Qi was happy with this.
He practices alone in peace and quiet, which is interesting in its own way.
Now that he has swallowed the fifth Blood Jade Pill, his strength has been further improved, and whenever the Jade Liquid Sea vibrates, he feels an inexplicable tremor.
He will be ten years old soon.
At this rate of progress, it would be a natural thing for me to reach the Yuandan realm next spring.
Cultivating and breaking through a realm is a slow process. Everything is as expected, so Ning Qi is not worried.
Instead, he was looking forward to the reply from King Zhenbei. A few days ago, Taoist Longshan had someone deliver the letter.
…
Ning Qi is comprehending the Heavenly Thunder Blade.
The reply from King Zhenbei did not arrive, but the Secret Records of Thunder sent by Master Jinglei Dao arrived first.
Jinglei Dao Zun was indeed a powerful figure who had once been on the Heavenly Man List. Jinglei Secret Record had its merits, which made Ning Qi gain a lot. He secretly compared them and felt that this Heavenly Man Secret Record was stronger than the previous Dragon, Tiger and Eagle Secret Record.
Ning Qi combined it with the Heavenly Thunder Blade to comprehend it.
After several days of hard work, he has gained a lot of experience and has made particularly obvious progress in the way of thunder. Now, if his internal energy is converted into thunder attributes, it will be extremely strong and fierce. However, he is still one step away from completely discovering the secret of how the Heavenly Thunder Sword can attract heavenly thunder.
There was never a strong enough thunderstorm.
Ning Qi plans to try Gaotian.
late at night.
When no one noticed, Ning Qi restrained his aura and moved away from the Zhenwu Sect, then walked away into the sky.
The height of ordinary powerful people in the Heavenly Realm when flying in the air will not be particularly high.
But now.
Ning Qi is trying to break through upwards.
It was fine at first, but the higher you go, the greater the pressure becomes, and the internal energy is being consumed at a very fast rate, as if it is being suppressed by some kind of will.
Ning Qi's heart couldn't help but shudder.
There is a rumor in this world that the sky is round and the earth is square.
Originally, he thought that perhaps the people in this world did not see the truth.
After all, he came from the Blue Planet in his previous life and knew the concepts of planets and the universe.
But it seems now.
Perhaps I am just superficial. There are incredibly powerful warriors in this world, so some of my perceptions may be correct.
He collected his thoughts and focused his attention upwards. The surroundings became increasingly empty, with only the biting strong wind.
I don’t know how long it will be.
The Sky Thunder Blade on his back suddenly moved, emitting a strong purple light.
He looked intently and his heart skipped a beat.
He saw a dazzling bolt of lightning from the sky rushing towards him like a thunder dragon descending to the earth. Its power was extremely terrifying, and was no less powerful than the sword of the Thunder Blade Master.
A green light appeared on Ning Qi's body, and his Qingxuan body protection technique instinctively started to work, blocking the thunder.
With the help of the light of thunder, Ning Qi looked far away and felt a little shocked.
Looking upwards, I saw terrifying thunders stirring in it, like a realm of death that would not allow any living creature to pass through.
"The rumors are true, there really is a thunder restricted area in the sky!"
Before Ning Qi could react, an even more terrifying thunder rushed over, purple with a hint of black, several times stronger than the previous one. Ning Qi was horrified, and used all his strength to activate the Qingxuan Body Protection Technique, barely blocking the thunder.
Without the slightest hesitation.
Ning Qi burst out at an extremely fast speed and dived downwards.
The thunder in the sky has no pattern at all. If he continues to stay there, the Sky Thunder Sword will attract even more terrifying thunder, and he will be dead.
“This is definitely not an area I can step into right now!”
Only after he could no longer sense the thunder fluctuations did Ning Qi breathe a sigh of relief, and the invisible sense of crisis completely dissipated.
A wry smile appeared on his face.
Perhaps it was because everything had been going smoothly for him, and the fact that he easily suppressed the Thunder Blade Master this time, that made him a little "floating". Now he was completely sober, and he realized that he still needed to continue to grow, and there were some places that he could not set foot in for the time being.
Ning Qi looked at Gao Tian deeply.
He had a feeling that there was a big secret there, but the Thunder Forbidden Zone was too terrifying, and he doubted that even a Martial Saint could break in.
Taking a deep breath, Ning Qi continued to dive downwards without any hesitation.
No matter how many secrets there are, I cannot touch them now. It is better to stay away from them.
Return along the same route.
Ning Qi landed on top of a mountain.
He felt a little regretful.
This trip to Gaotian failed to fully comprehend the secret of the Heavenly Thunder Blade, so I can only wait for the thunderstorm day.
He was thinking about returning to Zhenwu Mountain.
But I feel something in my heart.
Ning Qi looked up at the sky and saw that clouds were gathering in the dark sky. Waves of fluctuations were brewing, and after a moment, there was a loud thunder that shook the earth and sky, followed by heavy rain.
He felt something strange.
"Could it be due to my previous exploration into the sky?"
But he didn't think so.
To some extent, this can be considered a silver lining.
After a series of twists and turns, Ning Qi put aside all distracting thoughts.
He sat cross-legged in the empty space on the top of the mountain with the Sky Thunder Sword placed on his legs. He closed his eyes and began to comprehend seriously. This was a rare opportunity and he had to seize it.
roar!
A blinding bolt of lightning streaked through the night sky and struck the top of the mountain. Huge rocks were shattered and the mountain shook.
Then another equally dazzling bolt of lightning fell and hit Ning Qi.
But compared to the thunder that Ning Qi had experienced in the sky before, it was much gentler.
A green light appeared on his body surface, and he easily blocked it, leaving only a few traces of lightning flashing on his body surface.
The Sky Thunder Blade on his leg kept trembling, and special power fluctuations spread out.
Thunders were drawn towards him, but Ning Qi did not guide them deliberately. He just let them bombard him. He could totally bear this level. It was not that he had a masochistic tendency, but this way he could feel the changes of the Sky Thunder Blade more intuitively.
In Ning Qi's mind, inspiration was gushing out like a waterfall.
The insights gained in recent days have continued to emerge.
"The reason why the Qingxuan Armor has strong defense is because of its special material. Similarly, the reason why the Sky Thunder Blade can attract thunder is also due to its own material. It will be particularly obvious during thunderstorms, and it will be even more obvious if it is stimulated by the power of thunder..."
"The material of the Sky Thunder Blade changed after encountering thunder, forming tiny 'units' that can also be considered as a 'strange array formation', and they can interact with each other. This is the essence of its ability to attract thunder..."
"If I can use my Qi to simulate this 'unit', I can achieve the same effect, or even go a step further, to attract thunder, amplify thunder, manipulate thunder... This power can be applied in many areas, such as martial arts, body building, formations, equipment refining, and alchemy..."
Ning Qi continued to sense the changes in the Sky Thunder Blade and the thunder.
at the same time.
The Jade Liquid Sea vibrated, and streams of Qi were flowing and gathering. Ning Qi used his body as a testing ground to replicate the special features of the Sky Thunder Blade.
He had a feeling that the harvest this time would be huge, and the secret technique he created could benefit all aspects.
I don’t know how much time has passed.
Boom!
Another bolt of thunder struck.
Ning Qi opened his eyes, revealing a look of joy.
He used his internal energy to suppress the effect of the Heavenly Thunder Blade. In other words, the heavenly thunder just now was simulated and guided by his internal energy.
Done!
All that’s left is optimization.
"This method can draw thunder from the sky, so let's call it the Heavenly Thunder Method."
Tianlei Fa can be applied in many places.
Ning Qi was eager to try.
He stood up and stood in the void, his internal energy circulating, holding the Sky Thunder Sword in his hand. The internal energy and the Sky Thunder Sword vibrated at a special frequency at the same time, and a large amount of thunder was drawn in, which was much more terrifying than before. This time Ning Qi was able to control it consciously, so the thunder would not hit him, but was converted into controllable thunder power in mid-air.
Ning Qi swung his knife.
The thunder dragon's sword energy roared out, and a mountain was reduced to dust under the dual effects of thunder and sword energy.
This kind of noise was a little scary even under the thunder in the night sky.
Ning Qi was very satisfied.
This is just the application of Tianlei Fa in martial arts.
His efforts were worth it.
Ning Qi put away the Sky Thunder Blade, felt something in his heart, glanced into the distance, raised his eyebrows, and then escaped quietly.
A moment later.
Two figures came flying in the air and landed on the top of the mountain where Ning Qi had just stood. Upon closer inspection, they were actually a pair of twin sisters carrying spears. Both of them had round faces and delicate looks, and looked very young. However, their cultivation in the Heavenly Man Realm revealed that their real age was not young.
now.
The two men had expressions of shock on their faces, and they stared at the mountain that had turned into dust, remaining silent for a long time.
"If I didn't know that the Thunder Blade Master could not appear here, I would really think that this was done by the Thunder Blade Master." My sister whispered.
My sister shook her head:
"No, this nameless warrior is much stronger than Thunder Blade Master!"
My sister exclaimed:
"But there is no other peerless strongman on the Heavenly Man Ranking who is proficient in the Way of Thunder and the Way of Sword."
"The world is so big, there are countless powerful people hidden there. I didn't expect that we two sisters would meet each other. I don't know whether to say our luck is good or bad."
My sister said again:
"Fortunately, the strong man has left, otherwise it would be bad if he was angered. We shouldn't have come here before. It's all your fault for being too curious, sister. Don't forget the purpose of our trip."
My sister stuck out her tongue:
"I originally thought it was just a thunderbolt, but I didn't know that a strong man was practicing swordsmanship here."
"Let's go. Our curiosity has been satisfied. Let's go to Zhenwu Mountain as soon as possible. The prince attaches great importance to Zhenwu Mountain and asked us sisters to escort a secret letter of the highest level. I don't know what is written in it, but it looks quite thick."
My sister immediately scolded me:
"Stop! Your idea is dangerous!"
My sister said quickly:
"I'm just curious. The prince has been so kind to us, why would I do such a thing?"
My sister's expression eased a little and she stopped talking.
The two of them broke through the air and flew towards Zhenwu Mountain.
