Chapter 174: Eight years old, White Mist Realm?
Taoist Baishan stroked his sleeves, his eyes filled with reminiscence.
Speaking of which.
After so many reincarnations, I spent most of my time in a daze. After regaining consciousness, I focused most of my energy on comprehending martial arts. As for those old friends, I only heard about them occasionally, and the number of times I met them was very few.
I just wonder how many old friends can still live to this day, he sighed in his heart.
After hearing what Taoist Baishan said, the three of them were secretly shocked.
Old friend?
Anyone who can be called an old friend by Taoist Baishan must be of the same level.
They secretly took a deep breath in their hearts, and considering what Taoist Baishan had said before that there would be no reincarnation from now on, they vaguely knew that something big was going to happen, and even the situation in the world would change because of it.
"I have sent people to deliver invitations to many friendly sects. By then, people from many Taoist sects in Daozhou will come." Taoist Master Bai Ye said hurriedly.
Taoist Baishan nodded slowly and suddenly asked:
"Did the Zhenwu Sect send someone to deliver the invitation?"
"According to your instructions, I have invited Master Longshan and his ninth disciple Ning Qi."
There was some curiosity in the eyes of the three people. It was normal to invite Taoist Longshan. After all, when Taoist Longshan held the Heavenly Ceremony, Zhenren Baihe also came in person to cheer him on. But why were they obsessed with the ninth disciple of Taoist Longshan?
Could it be that there is something special about this person that makes the True Lord look at him differently?
Master Baihe seemed to be thinking about something.
He remembered an old incident.
It was after Taoist Longshan stepped into the realm of heaven and man that he ordered people to send Taoist scriptures to Zhenwu Mountain. Taoist Baishan also went there and stayed there for quite a while. Later, when he heard Junior Brother Ye talk about their stay, there was an interesting story that Taoist Baishan had been pestering Ning Qi during that time. At that time, he did not know whether to laugh or cry, and just thought that his senior brother was just fooling around.
But now it seems that there may be another hidden story?
"Brother, is there something special about that little fellow named Ning Qi?" Master Baihe couldn't help but ask curiously. He remained respectful, but gradually saw more shadows of his former bohemian brother in Master Baishan.
He was thinking, his senior brother Zhenjun wouldn't really want to snatch Ning Qi away as his disciple, right? After all, he had heard before that his senior brother was very fond of this disciple of Taoist Longshan and offered many conditions to lure him over.
Taoist Baishan chuckled:
"This little fellow is no ordinary fellow. Three years ago, when I went to Zhenwu Mountain, my wisdom had not yet awakened. I just instinctively felt that he was extraordinary. But now when I think back on it, wow, he is truly an astonishing talent!"
There was an undisguised look of admiration on his face, which made the three real people curious.
"If I'm not mistaken, his bone age was only eight years old at that time. Can you guess what his cultivation level was at that time?"
White Elephant True Man tentatively said:
"Body Tempering Completed?"
Normally children start to learn martial arts at the age of eight. Even if this boy's bones were formed earlier, it would only take two or three years at most. It is already extremely extraordinary that he can temper his body to perfection in such a short time. If he was not a young man valued by the True Lord, he would not even have guessed so.
The other two were the same, feeling that their bodies had been tempered to perfection or at most they had just begun to glimpse the inner essence realm.
Taoist Baishan did not keep the secret, but simply said:
"White Mist Realm."
The words fell.
The three real people were all shocked and almost thought they had heard it wrong.
"Master, this... is really correct?" The white elephant breathed calmly.
Eight years old, White Mist Realm?
It seems that this is no longer as simple as a monster, right?
Taoist Baishan smiled:
"Can I still deceive you?"
The three of them looked at each other and still felt a little dreamy. What were they doing when they were eight years old... How could there be such a monster in the world?
Baihe Zhenren couldn't help but ask:
"Brother, could it be that this person is the same as you..."
Taoist Baishan shook his head and said:
"No, he is not a reincarnation."
Then he frowned again:
"But... it's hard to say. After all, we old guys used different methods at the time, and no one knows which ones are effective. Some people were annihilated in the long river of time, while some survived by chance and may have undergone some kind of abnormal changes."
"So... you want to invite Fellow Daoist Ning Qi to come over and take a look to see if he is one of those people from the past?" Taoist Bai Ye said.
Taoist Baishan waved his hand and said:
"It doesn't really matter whether he is or not. I just think this little guy is interesting. If he is not one of those old guys, then he was born in the wrong era."
There was regret in his words.
The three immortals all looked stern, they knew what Taoist Baishan was talking about.
The realm of Martial Saint!
They also had a desire in their hearts, but they did not dare to think too much about it. This was something that could not be mentioned. The True Lord would never explain more in this regard and was very secretive about it. The only thing they could infer from the clues was that the realm of Martial Saint was almost unattainable.
This made them feel regretful and fearful at the same time.
Speaking of this.
Taoist Baishan was obviously a little bored.
"Tell little Ning Qi that I personally invited him to attend the ceremony, and he must come. Then I, the old Taoist priest, will take him to rob other Taoist scriptures." A smile appeared on his face again, making the three immortals smile bitterly.
This true lord really does not mind anything.
However, with the identity of Zhenjun, it is not an exaggeration to call him the head of Taoism. If he reveals his identity, even the Yin-Yang Sect, the number one Taoist sect in the world, will definitely not say no.
The three of them quietly withdrew and began to make full preparations for the upcoming Heavenly Ceremony.
It is not difficult to infer from the meaning of Taoist Baishan’s previous words that it does not matter if this Heavenly Ceremony is a little more grand. In this case, the three of them will not miss the opportunity to enhance the prestige of the Zhenxuan Sect.
In the past, every time Zhenxuan Daojun reincarnated, he was extremely low-key. Since this time is the last time, there is no need to be low-key anymore.
Taoist Baishan watched the three people leave and gradually withdrew his gaze.
He looked up at the sky with mixed feelings.
"Where is the road?"
…
The news that Master Baishan was about to hold the Heavenly Ceremony spread to the surrounding areas at an alarming speed. In addition, invitations had already been sent to friendly forces a few months ago. Now it has attracted a lot of attention. The Zhenxuan Sect, which has always been low-key, has become unusually high-profile.
This made Daozhou gradually lively, and many forces sent strong men there.
Zhenwu Mountain.
Luo Wentian also received an invitation letter.
"Master, Xiaojiu, this Baishan Zhenren has specially invited the two of you to attend his Heavenly Ceremony."
There was some surprise in his eyes. This was the second time that Master Baishan seemed to be particularly fond of Ning Qi.
It was normal for his master, a powerful person in the realm of heaven and man, to be specially invited. After all, the Heaven and Man Ceremony also needed other powerful people to show up to support the event. However, it was a bit strange to invite Ning Qi one after another. After all, on the surface, Ning Qi was just an unknown disciple of Taoist Longshan.
"Master, has he discovered Xiaojiu's true strength?"
Taoist Longshan frowned slightly:
"It shouldn't be. When the Taoist Baishan went up the mountain, he was undoubtedly in the Yuandan realm. With his strength, it is impossible for him to see Xiaojiu's strength. After that, Xiaojiu never had any contact with him. Maybe he just thought highly of Xiaojiu."
As he said this, he smiled slightly.
Of course, he also knew some interesting stories about how Taoist Baishan tricked Ning Qi into joining the Zhenxuan Sect three years ago, but with his broad mind, he didn't care.
"There is still a month left, so there should be no problem in making a trip. Xiaojiu, what do you think?" asked Taoist Longshan.
Ning Qi thought about it and finally nodded:
"Go ahead."
His cultivation level has reached the limit of its potential improvement, and the only thing he can do is to study the Martial Saint power in the Yu Wang Pearl to see if he can find a way to break it. He originally planned to go down the mountain to travel after Qin Yun woke up. Although Qin Yun hasn't woken up yet, it won't be a problem for him to attend the Heavenly Ceremony first.
The main reason was that the things mentioned in Taoist Baishan's letter were quite attractive to him.
"Robbering many Taoist sects is of course a joke, but... this is an idea. If I have the opportunity to read many secret Taoist scriptures, I may be able to get some information about the changes in the power of heaven and earth, or even find inspiration for a way to crack it."
"It's better to have Taoist Baishan as my guide than to come here randomly by myself."
Ning Qi was not familiar with the situation in Daozhou.
Now is a good opportunity to take advantage of this opportunity to see it for yourself.
Seeing Ning Qi agreed so decisively, Taoist Longshan and Luo Wentian were both a little surprised. After all, Ning Qi had always chosen not to go down the mountain if possible. The two times he went down the mountain before were to deal with the enemies. Unexpectedly, he would be so calm this time.
Ning Qi smiled and said:
"Let me know when you leave."
He looked at Qin Yun again.
The fluctuations in Qin Yun's body have become increasingly stable, and the day of his awakening is getting closer and closer. All of his fellow disciples are looking forward to the arrival of this day.
"I hope that Eighth Senior Brother has woken up safely after returning from Daozhou." Ning Qi thought silently in his heart.
…
Time passes.
Half a month later.
The Zhenwu faction's team set off to watch the ceremony.
In addition to Taoist Longshan and Ning Qi, Zhuang Chen and Li Ling were also on the list, following along to broaden their horizons. In addition, there were some inner and outer disciples who brought along carefully prepared gifts.
If it were just Ning Qi and the other two, their speed would naturally be very fast. But now that there are so many people, it's much slower.
But Ning Qi didn't care.
He rarely has such an opportunity, so this is a good opportunity to see the scenery along the way.
However, as they traveled along the way, the young Taoist priest leaning against the carriage and reading scriptures with his head down became a beautiful sight.
Ning Qi was thinking about the changes in the power of heaven and earth:
"From the information we have obtained so far, it seems that there may be some impurities mixed into the power of heaven and earth, which caused the silver giant ape to suffer such a miserable end. In this case, if we can remove these impurities and restore the power of heaven and earth to purity, can we absorb it into the body without any harm, and then safely break into the Martial Saint realm?"
"The Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head has a certain 'filtering' effect in the process of absorbing the power of heaven and earth, but it is not enough. Can it be further strengthened?"
This is a direction that Ning Qi has been considering more recently.
He got inspiration from Yu Wangzhu.
At the very beginning, the Great Elder of the Demon Sect used the blood of the descendants of Dayu as a guide to condense the power of the Martial Saint. Then Ning Qi explored it on his own and directly used the method of Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head to condense a new power of the Martial Saint through the Yu Wang Pearl.
There is an obvious difference in the power of the Martial Saint before and after.
Ning Qi immediately realized that other substances could be mixed into the power of heaven and earth and the power of the Martial Saint.
Then think of the scene deep in the white ape's blood.
At the beginning, the silver giant ape was extremely powerful, but suddenly, it became like that. Perhaps impurities appeared in the power of heaven and earth.
The more he thought about it, the more this conjecture seemed to make sense.
But it is ultimately just a guess and cannot be confirmed.
"The best way is to verify and practice. Using myself as an experiment, I think I can quickly come to a conclusion and even deduce a solution based on it."
"Unfortunately, I dare not."
Ning Qi cherishes his life very much.
He is far from being helpless now, and does not want to take this risky move.
He couldn't determine what the consequences would be if he absorbed the power of heaven and earth into his body. If it had an impact on his future path, he would regret it. Therefore, before he understood the truth, he would not absorb even a trace of the power of heaven and earth into his body.
"So...what about using other people for the experiment? Although the effect won't be as good as the experiment on your own body, it's safer. However, it's not easy to find a target for the experiment. They have to be strong enough and have the ability to absorb the power of heaven and earth into their bodies."
"The best choice is naturally the enemy. There is no burden in using them, and it doesn't matter if they die. But the problem is that we can't find them. I'm afraid only the previous Great Elder of the Demon Sect is qualified to do so."
Ning Qi thought.
A figure suddenly rushed into my mind.
Sword demon.
"If we use him to conduct experiments, maybe it will work?" Ning Qi's eyes lit up.
but.
He is definitely not the kind of person who only cares about himself. Since he had promised the Sword Demon Martial Saint about the method, he would not go back on his word.
"If we really let Dao Mo cooperate with the experiment, we must explain the interests involved to him and not hide it. If he is willing to cooperate, it will be better. If he is unwilling, we cannot force him." Ning Qi thought that after returning to Zhenwu Mountain this time, he might be able to talk to Dao Mo about this matter.
Many thoughts are turning.
Ning Qi let out a long breath.
This is a plan he thought of, but it may not succeed.
However, even if the Sword Demon agreed to cooperate with the experiment, he had to reduce the risk to the lowest level. Putting aside other things, he still admired the Sword Demon's martial arts will, as he was also a pure pursuer of the Tao.
At this time.
Zhuang Chen's chubby face came closer. He first glanced at the Taoist scripture in Ning Qi's hand, then secretly gasped and said with a smile:
"Brother Nine, we are almost at Zhenxuan Mountain and you are still holding your Taoist scriptures and reading them over and over again. All along the way, I always feel that you are no different from when you were in the Taoist Academy. Apart from looking at the scenery along the way, you don't go out for a walk. It's a pity!"
Everyone around smiled.
Ning Qi shook his head and laughed, looking into the distance, a strange mountain hidden in the clouds was already looming.
Zhenxuan Mountain, we’re here!
