Chapter 155 Two Talents
The Zhenwu sect’s year-end competition came to a successful conclusion.
The performance of the many young disciples made Luo Wentian and others extremely satisfied. After receiving these rewards, these disciples will definitely become stronger in the coming year. With such diligent practice year after year, it won’t take too long before they will be able to truly support the Zhenwu Sect.
Luo Wentian and the other two who accepted disciples had made a good start.
He Yan, Sun Chuanhai and the others all had ideas in their minds. Now they are all in the Gangyuan realm, and their cultivation is also improving by leaps and bounds. They are fully qualified to accept disciples. They have made up their minds that they will have to observe more in the future and find a suitable successor.
After the competition, it was a rare opportunity for all the brothers to gather together again.
Taoist Longshan also came out of seclusion.
The master and his disciples were having a great time, chatting about the changes in the past year. After learning that he had a few more disciples, Taoist Longshan was very happy and even presented them with a gift.
The atmosphere at the end of the year is lively.
But at this reunion, everyone couldn't help but sigh and think:
"I wonder how Xiaowu (Fifth Senior Brother) is doing now?"
…
Leizhou.
Deep in Yanshan Mountain.
In an unnamed valley, heavy snow weighed down the branches, icicles hung down, and a few nimble little animals were quietly moving around, adding a bit of vitality to the winter.
There are several small wooden houses located here, which look like a few pine nuts dotted in the snow.
Jiang Baishan and Lin Ruhua lived in seclusion here.
This was the place the two had discovered during one of their training sessions. It had beautiful scenery and was sparsely populated. Although there were occasionally some strange beasts, it was not a problem for the two. After they had come down from Zhenwu Mountain, they dealt with some matters and then quietly came here.
Although it was a lonely place, the two of them were full of affection and comforted each other. They studied martial arts and enjoyed the beautiful scenery every day. Although they did not come into contact with other people, they still lived a fulfilling life.
"In the new year, I hope we can be together forever!" Lin Ruhua looked straight into Jiang Baishan's eyes and made a wish.
Fire, hot wine, barbecue...the warm firelight illuminates the two of them.
Jiang Baishan's eyes were also full of happiness.
"We will definitely be together forever!"
Although he said this, his thoughts couldn't help but drift to Zhenwu Mountain. At this time of year in previous years, he would reunite with his master and fellow disciples and have a great time. This year was a rare exception.
There was no expression on his face, but Lin Ruhua knew him so well that she knew what Jiang Baishan was thinking just from the slightest change in his eyes.
She paused and said softly:
"Bai Shan, I went out for a while when you were in seclusion a few days ago."
Jiang Baishan suddenly became anxious:
"Ruhua, what are you doing outside? You know the Demon Sect is looking for us now. If they find us, they will never give up!"
Lin Ruhua just shook her head gently:
"Don't worry, I'm very careful and I have good news to tell you."
She smiled, with some shock in her eyes.
"Some time ago, the Sword Demon went to Zhenwu Mountain and wanted to challenge Master Tianjian, but he was defeated by Master Tianjian. This is the Sword Demon who is ranked third on the Heavenly Man Ranking. I didn't expect that Senior Tianjian is so powerful."
Seeing Jiang Baishan's dumbfounded look, she smiled and told him many details about the challenges that the Sword Demon had faced since his birth, which made Jiang Baishan very excited.
Lin Ruhua smiled and said:
"With Senior Tianjian in charge of Zhenwu Mountain, the Demon Sect may not be able to do anything to the Zhenwu Sect. Can you rest assured now?"
Jiang Baishan was deeply moved. He held Lin Ruhua in his arms and kissed her forehead:
"Thank you, Ruhua."
The two snuggled together, their shadows gradually blending in the light of the fire.
Suddenly.
Lin Ruhua whispered shyly:
"Bai Shan, I have another piece of news to tell you."
Jiang Baishan was stunned, and then was stunned by Lin Ruhua's next words:
"I...I think I have it."
Jiang Baishan stood there in a daze, and then his pupils suddenly dilated and he was ecstatic. Soon, the valley was filled with Jiang Baishan's excited laughter.
The two lived in seclusion here.
The arrival of a little life is undoubtedly a symbol of hope and surprise.
…
Ning Qi naturally didn't know that his fifth senior brother was about to become a father.
After the New Year reunion, he returned to the Qiudao Temple again.
Nowadays, everyone in the Zhenwu Sect is very busy, and all the elders have their own duties.
All efforts must be concentrated on internal development, and many things need to be improved step by step. Externally, there are threats from the Demon Sect and Southern Xinjiang. Only Zhenwu disciples who have reached the standards set by Luo Wentian can go down the mountain to train, so as to avoid unnecessary danger.
Ning Qi couldn't help much with these mundane affairs. The only thing he could do was to continuously improve his own strength and become the last person to provide support.
After the New Year.
He would resonate with the blood in the white ape's body every few days.
Although the picture would shatter every time the silver giant ape looked back and he couldn't see what happened afterwards, Ning Qi still gained a lot. After several times, he had gradually grasped some of the principles of the golden pupil.
As long as you continue following these deductions, it is only a matter of time before you can turn the Golden Eyes of Illusion into a secret technique that you can practice, and that day will not be long.
This day.
Zhuang Chen excitedly stepped into the Seeking Dao Courtyard:
"Ninth Senior Brother, I have successfully practiced the secret technique of resonance that you taught me!"
Zhuang Chen's comprehension of swordsmanship was extremely strong, especially after his sword bone was broken and then re-established. However, he was not as good as the white ape in practicing other secret arts. He obtained the secret art two or three days later than the white ape, but it took him more than ten days later to practice it successfully.
Ning Qi smiled slightly, somewhat expectantly.
After seeing that scene from deep within the white ape’s bloodline, he had been wondering whether the same scene would also be seen in the depths of Zhuang Chen’s innate sword bone.
Now, Zhuang Chen has finally succeeded.
"Come here, Xiao Shi." He waved his hand, and the white ape immediately showed an extremely sympathetic look. He had been in pain and happiness these days. Although every resonance could greatly increase the degree of blood development, the sour feeling was not pleasant.
Now seeing that Zhuang Chen was about to follow in his footsteps, he couldn't help but grin.
Zhuang Chen thought the white ape was playing with him, so he smiled and made a face in return.
Zhuang Chen is actually a few years older than Ning Qi, but not as tall as Ning Qi. He has a round body and a chubby face. After Ning Qi improved the secret technique of eating gluttonous food in dreams for him, he no longer has such side effects. The reason why he is still fat is because he is greedy.
“Ninth Senior Brother, how do you need me to cooperate with you this time?” Zhuang Chen asked expectantly.
Ning Qi smiled and said:
"It's the same as before, but this time you need to keep running the resonance secret technique without interruption unless you pass out. If all goes well, I will teach you a secret technique that is more powerful than the innate sword body."
Hearing this, Zhuang Chen's eyes lit up and he didn't notice the white ape's snickering at all.
Zhuang Chen patted his chest loudly, and said with a smile:
"Come on, brother, I'm ready!"
Ning Qi chuckled, and then said solemnly:
"Close your eyes, regulate your breathing, and practice the secret technique!"
Zhuang Chen also became serious and began to resonate with the innate sword bone in his body. He could not help but let out a low roar, and sword sounds rang out from his body, like a magic sword being unsheathed. It was similar to what happened before when the white ape couldn't help but reveal its true form as the Ape King.
Ning Qi was slightly surprised.
Then he controlled the vast power of heaven and earth and gathered it. He was more relaxed than before because his swordsmanship had already reached a very high level.
It seemed as if thousands of divine swords were resonating together around him.
Zhuang Chen's face suddenly twisted. The white ape was gloating. He thought it was easy before, but when the inside and outside resonated together, the world changed. Zhuang Chen couldn't help but roared. He was dumbfounded. He felt as if there were millions of ants all over his body gently biting his flesh. The numbness and itchiness were even more terrifying than the pain of the sword bone being broken and then standing up again.
But Ning Qi was not worried, because Zhuang Chen's character was much stronger than before.
He gathered his mind and, along with the gentle energy, probed towards the sword bone in Zhuang Chen's body.
Buzz!
After a strange buzzing sound, Ning Qi was shocked, and then he found himself in a void of space.
Various sword intents were floating in this void space, and they were more powerful than any sword intent Ning Qi had ever seen. Even his own sword intent seemed inconspicuous among them. Unfortunately, these sword intents were very vague, as if separated by layers of time and space, and it was impossible to carefully sense the mystery in them.
Ning Qi only knew that it was powerful, but he couldn't figure out where the power came from. This made him extremely regretful. Otherwise, if he could absorb all the nutrients of the sword intent, it would be hard to imagine what level his swordsmanship could reach.
At the same time, he gradually reacted:
"Could it be... that this is the sword intention of the innate sword bone owners?"
This thought just came to my mind.
This piece of empty space has undergone inexplicable changes.
One after another, sword intent sank and floated, and then a similar picture appeared. The sound of babies crying was heard, and Ning Qi saw that as the babies were forming in the womb, some kind of magical power in the world that he could not understand entered the babies' bodies.
"Is this the truth behind the formation of the innate sword bone? Originally, I thought that the innate sword bone was the same as the blood of the heavenly beast, perhaps coming from an extremely powerful sword ancestor in ancient times. But now it seems that this is not the case. This is simply born and raised!"
"Based on this inference, it is very likely that the innate knife bones and innate spear bones also exist, but I just don't know about them."
Ning Qi's heart was filled with ripples.
He guessed that the power that flowed into the baby's body should be some kind of power related to the heaven and earth and the origin of swordsmanship, which was something he could not understand for the time being.
Keep watching.
His heart was shocked.
All we saw were some blurry images showing that some newborn babies were actually absorbing the power of heaven and earth!
"He can control the power of heaven and earth right after he was born? Isn't this a true 'celestial being'?! It turns out that there are not only celestial beasts that are blessed by heaven, but also similar beings among the human race. The owner of the innate sword bone is one of them. Perhaps all humans with special physiques are like this."
Ning Qi's pupils dilated slightly.
He discovered a great secret.
Then I couldn't help thinking:
"But why is Xiao Shi not like this at all? If he was born with the ability to absorb the power of heaven and earth, he wouldn't be so powerful."
Ning Qi was a little confused.
Various thoughts kept flashing through his mind. His thinking was working at its peak, and the information he had obtained kept flowing through his mind. Suddenly, a terrible guess arose in his mind:
"Could it be...something happened between heaven and earth, so that the innate sword bones that were born later could no longer absorb the power of heaven and earth, and only had the ability to increase the power of swordsmanship?"
This explanation is the most reasonable.
Ning Qi recalled the great sense of terror that both he and the Sword Demon had sensed, and could not help but let out a long sigh.
The truth is getting closer.
The disappearance of the celestial beast, the changes in the innate sword bone, and the great terror from heaven and earth, there must be some connection between these three.
"What exactly happened?"
Ning Qi continued to watch.
The void space became silent again, and he was not forcibly "bounced" out like before when he was resonating with the white ape's bloodline. This was beyond his expectations. Perhaps it was related to the different sources of the two. But this was a good thing. After the void space became silent at this moment, a special wave gradually spread out.
Ning Qi comprehended it carefully, and a feeling of surprise gradually emerged in his heart.
This special fluctuation does indeed contain the innate ability of the innate sword bone.
“Innate divine sword energy? This is the powerful ability contained in the innate sword bone. It should be on the same level as the innate golden pupil that can break illusions. However, it will take some effort to transform it into a secret technique that I can control.”
However, Ning Qi still had confidence. This was not a difficult task for him. After all, there was almost a ready-made template.
It's just that he needs to transform other people's innate talents into acquired secret skills. This is naturally extremely difficult for others, but Ning Qi can do it.
Just feeling the realization.
The void space shook for a while, and Ning Qi ended the resonance state.
It wasn't that his spiritual will could no longer hold on, but that Zhuang Chen had fallen into a coma.
Ning Qi laughed.
After checking Zhuang Chen's body and finding that there was nothing wrong, he felt relieved. For Zhuang Chen, this was also a good thing. Every resonance could enhance the control over the innate sword bone in his body.
Not only that, after Ning Qi researches out the secret technique of innate divine sword energy, he may be able to use it to awaken the innate ability of his sword bone in advance. This is more profitable than the white ape. After all, the white ape has already mastered the golden pupil that can break illusions.
After letting the white ape settle Zhuang Chen, Ning Qi carefully thought about his two innate abilities, the golden pupil that can see through illusions and the innate divine sword energy.
He made up his mind.
After transforming these two talents into secret techniques under his control, he went down the mountain to pursue the enemy.
After all, the Demon Sect and Southern Xinjiang have too deep a foundation, and he doesn't know whether the other party possesses any means beyond the realm of heaven and man. Naturally, the stronger his own strength is, the safer it is. Otherwise, it would be bad if he gets caught in it.
Time passes slowly.
Another half month passed.
Ning Qi's progress in researching the two major innate abilities was very encouraging, especially the innate divine sword energy. Since his divine will was able to hold on, he was able to succeed first and come out on top.
Today, the secret technique of the golden pupil to break illusions has been successfully created.
Ning Qi's goal was finally achieved.
