Chapter 176 Aura
What he saw was indeed beyond Ning Qi's imagination. Even the accumulation of the Sword Questioning Pavilion was far inferior to it. He turned his head to look at the Taoist priest Bai Shan, and saw that the other party looked at him arrogantly:
"How about the Tibetan scriptures of my Zhenxuan Sect?"
He chuckled, revealing his yellow teeth, feeling indescribably proud. He finally had the chance to show off in front of Ning Qi.
"You can read the scriptures here at will. If you like, you can live here. But I am a little tired of reading them. If there is anything you want to find, just tell me."
Ning Qi smiled and said:
"Can you really watch anything?"
"Of course! In the Zhenxuan Sect, my words are always binding!"
Hearing such bold words, Ning Qi couldn't help but look sideways.
The newly promoted Taoist priest Baishan can actually make such bold statements. There is only one explanation: he is of very high generation and status.
Ning Qi nodded, not being polite:
"Does your Zhenxuan Sect have any records about the Martial Saint Realm?"
The Taoist priest Baishan, who was originally very proud of himself, suddenly froze.
Ning Qi's interest waned:
"No?"
"Not really. It's just that Ning, you're still so young and your cultivation is probably still a long way from that level. Don't be too ambitious." A hint of inquiry flashed in his pupils, but he immediately covered it up with a laugh.
Ning Qi casually opened a Taoist scripture:
"Martial arts should be determined. I am curious."
Taoist Bai Shan said nothing more and took Ning Qi straight to the top floor.
The higher one goes, the fewer scriptures there are, but Ning Qi knows that these must be the essence and will not be easily revealed to the outside world. He secretly marvels that it is worthy of the long-standing Zhenxuan Sect.
Patting the white jade bookshelf that held a dozen ancient books, Taoist Bai Shan curled his lips and said:
"Here, all the records about the Martial Saint Realm are here, take a look for yourself."
As he spoke, he lay on his back on the Taoist ball beside him, staring at the ceiling with lifeless eyes, as if he had returned home naturally.
Ning Qi showed a hint of joy in his eyes. This was truly a pleasant surprise.
He reached out and took an ancient book, slowly opened it, and a heavy feeling suddenly came over him.
The first line of words shocked him:
"The power of heaven and earth is called spiritual energy, and the path to becoming a martial saint is to refine spiritual energy into the body and gain many mysteries."
Aura?
This was the first time he heard of such a statement. The ancient books he had obtained in the past were almost all just fragmentary records, but now this book seemed to be very detailed, and the opening gave him a different shock.
Ning Qi couldn't help but look at Taoist Bai Shan, but saw that he didn't care at all and had already entered a trance state.
Ning Qi forced himself to suppress the shock in his heart and continued to look down.
"To be a martial saint is to transcend the ordinary and become a saint! How to achieve sainthood? The key lies in spiritual energy. The heavenly realm can only sense spiritual energy and can barely resonate with it, but it is like a child swinging a sledgehammer. It is impossible to understand its mystery..."
"The power of the Martial Saint is extraordinary and spiritual. It can kill without parallel, burn mountains and boil seas. It can also be passed down from generation to generation and remain immortal for thousands of years."
“…”
Unconsciously.
He fell into enlightenment.
He read it very carefully, and stopped from time to time to think carefully.
I don’t know how much time has passed.
After finishing flipping through the last ancient book, Ning Qi subconsciously continued flipping through the pages, only to find that he had reached the last page. His eyes were filled with a sense of unsatisfied desire.
"Is that all?" He sighed and said subconsciously.
The Taoist priest Baishan beside him had woken up at some point. He smiled and said:
“These are good enough!”
Ning Qi nodded slowly.
This was true. Indeed, having these was already quite good. It was no exaggeration to say that these ancient books were more than the total of all the ones he had obtained before, and they were more detailed. However, Ning Qi still felt a little itchy.
Really.
These ancient books all come to an abrupt end, often disappearing at the most critical moment, or only touching upon the surface and substance.
For example, some ancient books mention that the power of heaven and earth is called spiritual energy, and the key to becoming a martial saint is to refine spiritual energy, but how to refine spiritual energy is not detailed.
For example, some ancient books mentioned how terrifying the fighting power of the Martial Saint was, and even described the battle scenes, but some specific core descriptions of the Martial Saint realm were omitted, or replaced with some other irrelevant words.
This made Ning Qi feel a little bit like scratching an itch.
Ning Qi looked at the Taoist priest Bai Shan:
"Why do I feel that the authors of these ancient books did this on purpose? They had to make it so vague and unclear. Why is that?"
He felt more and more that Taoist Baishan was not a simple person and might know some secrets.
But the Taoist priest Baishan just spread his hands:
"How should I know? These books have been around for a long time. Maybe you will know when you reach that level. I told you long ago that it is not a good thing to spy on this level in advance, so as to avoid being hit and having wild thoughts."
Ning Qi smiled and said:
"You have just entered the Heavenly Man Realm, and you are still a long way from the Martial Saint Realm. You must have read these books more than once."
The Taoist priest Baishan turned over and sat up:
"That's different. I, the old Taoist, have accumulated a lot of experience and may soon reach the realm of Martial Saint. What do you think? If you change your sect and come to my Zhenxuan Sect now, you still have a last chance to get on board!"
He looked at Ning Qi expectantly.
Ning Qi burst out laughing.
He just shook his head slightly, and looked at the ancient books in his hands. For the sake of these ancient books, he did not say anything to criticize her.
I have to say.
These ancient books are quite useful.
Although they all have a sense of abrupt ending, and may only be used to broaden the horizons of others, but with Ning Qi's understanding, he can deduce useful things even from the slightest clue.
"The power of the Martial Saint is extraordinary in spirituality. This is definitely not a characteristic of the power of the Martial Saint, but the spiritual energy itself has such characteristics. However, when I sense the spiritual energy now, I don't find anything. Does this mean that the changes in the world have weakened the spirituality of the spiritual energy?"
"Since it can be weakened, can the spirituality in the aura be extracted separately?"
Ning Qi thought of another direction.
He gradually fell into deep thought.
"In addition, the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head refers to the Heavenly Man Realm. What is the Five Qis Returning to the Origin mentioned in one of the ancient books? Could it be the mystery of the Martial Saint Realm?"
Taoist Bai Shan was a little angry when he saw Ning Qi ignored him, but he was secretly surprised to see Ning Qi was so obsessed. He was naturally very familiar with these ancient books. Ordinary people might not even be able to understand them after reading them, but Ning Qi was seriously comprehending them.
"This Ning kid is more complicated than I thought!" He gradually became concerned.
His curiosity grew stronger, and for the first time he tried his best to understand Ning Qi's background.
In an instant.
The clouds parted.
But what shocked him was that what was revealed was not a mountain peak, but a series of mountains. He couldn't tell clearly which mountain was Ning Qi's true appearance.
"This..." Taoist Baishan gradually became cautious.
Although his innate wisdom has only been awakened for a short time and his strength has not yet fully recovered, he is definitely at the top of the world. But now, he can't even see through an eleven-year-old kid. Before, he could sense it casually, but now he is using all his strength, and the meaning is completely different.
"Could it be that some old monster is deliberately making fun of me?" he couldn't help but think.
But then he shook his head.
People like them have a similar aura that they absolutely cannot hide.
"Could it be the plan of that old turtle?" Taoist Baishan thought of another possibility.
Only he knew that the Zhenwu inheritance was not that simple.
When he invited Ning Qi and Taoist Longshan before, there was one thing he did not tell Zhenren Baihe and the others, and that was that the Zhenwu inheritance was actually older than the Zhenxuan Sect if one traced back in time, but the inheritance was interrupted in the middle.
After awakening his innate wisdom, he intercepted some intelligence from the Zhenwu Sect and realized that his guess was correct.
This time, inviting Ning Qi and the other two to come was also intended to observe secretly.
However, he originally thought that Taoist Longshan only obtained part of the Zhenwu inheritance by chance. After all, Taoist Longshan's performance was not too outstanding.
But what he sensed from Ning Qi now was not simple, which made him overturn his previous speculation.
"That old turtle has lived for too long. No one knows what he is planning. Maybe Taoist Longshan is not the successor he chose, but Ning Qi is? But that shouldn't be the case... If Ning Qi is the successor he chose, then he should have a certain understanding of the Martial Saint realm..."
For a moment, Taoist Baishan had no idea where Ning Qi came from.
He plans to observe for a while longer.
Seeing Ning Qi close the ancient book, he hurried over with a shy face:
"Ning boy, do you want to read more ancient Taoist scriptures?"
Ning Qi nodded.
"Well, after my Heavenly Ceremony is over, shall we go visit other Taoist sects?" Taoist Baishan winked.
Ning Qi pondered for a while and then nodded slowly.
He is not the mastermind, and if anything really happens, he will go to Taoist Baishan to find someone to support him. If the sky falls, there will be someone tall to hold it up. This time, he got a lot of information about the realm of Martial Saint from the collection of Zhenxuan Sect. He also wants to see if the collections of other Taoist sects are as rich in content.
However, the most important thing is to see the background of Baishan Taoist.
This was the first time in a long time that he couldn't see through someone.
Seeing Ning Qi agreed, the Taoist priest Baishan was so delighted that he did several somersaults.
"Then it's a deal!"
Ning Qi couldn't help but laugh.
…
The next two days.
Under the guidance of Taoist Master Baishan, Ning Qi visited all the forbidden areas of the Zhenxuan Sect.
Sutra Library, Treasure Pavilion, Magic Weaponry, Magic Medicine Garden...
During this time, Ning Qi indeed saw a lot of good things, which made him admire the profoundness of Zhenxuan Sect. At the same time, he couldn't help but feel strange. This Taoist Baishan really did things without any taboos. Sometimes he wondered if Taoist Baishan did this on purpose, just to show off the profoundness of Zhenxuan Sect in front of him, so as to make him tempted to "abandon the dark and join the light".
besides.
Ning Qi mentioned the True Lord Zhenxuan several times and was somewhat curious about him, but Taoist Baishan didn't take it seriously and there was no sign of respect in his words, which made Ning Qi even more surprised at Taoist Baishan's identity.
This person might not be the living ancestor of Zhenxuan Sect, which is why he can do whatever he wants.
After all, he had been quite ostentatious these past two days, and it was impossible that the higher-ups of the Zhenxuan Sect hadn't noticed anything.
He seemed to be thinking about something.
But there's no rush.
In two days.
More and more martial arts sects arrived, including many top Taoist sects. They sent powerful people from the celestial realm to show support. Zhenxuan Mountain became more and more lively. Even Taoist Longshan restrained his disciples from causing trouble.
Fortunately, with the Zhenxuan Sect mediating, there were no major problems.
Instead, many people took the initiative to find the guest house of the Zhenwu Sect and came to make friends, and their words were full of respect for Master Tianjian.
This day.
The Heavenly Ceremony was finally held as scheduled.
Such a grand event also stirred up countless storms in Daozhou, especially since the Zhenxuan Sect had no intention of keeping a low profile this time. Therefore, a large number of warriors also gathered at the foot of Zhenxuan Mountain. However, the foundation of Zhenxuan Mountain is much deeper than that of the original Zhenwu Sect, and it is enough to accommodate many warriors.
There were crowds of people on Zhenxuan Mountain.
There was a powerful aura everywhere, and there were many powerful Heavenly Man Realm masters, nearly thirty in total. Unlike the previous Heavenly Man Ceremony of Taoist Longshan, where several Heavenly Man Realm masters were the last to appear, now these Heavenly Man Realm masters were all seated in an orderly manner in advance.
The people from the Zhenwu Sect sat in the front row, and the disciples were all amazed. Such a grand event was extremely rare.
Wait until everyone is seated.
Then he saw the head of Zhenxuan Sect, Master Bai Ye, standing in the air, smiling and bowing:
"You all came from afar to attend the Heavenly Ceremony of my senior brother Baishan Zhenren. Zhenxuan Sect is extremely grateful!"
Everyone responded with a smile.
The Taoist priest from Baishan sat in the main seat.
Today's Taoist Baishan was completely different from the one Ning Qi usually saw. He looked majestic in his purple Taoist robe, and his demeanor was even a little ethereal. The three Taoist masters Baixiang, Baiye and Baihe beside him were completely outshined by him, which amazed everyone.
But Ning Qi was speechless, because the look in the eyes of Taoist Baishan that occasionally looked at him always revealed a sense of vulgarity, which made his elegant demeanor disappear instantly.
"The Heavenly Ceremony has officially begun!"
As Master Bai Ye finished speaking.
Disciples of the Zhenxuan Sect came out one after another, with swords flying in the air and an outstanding demeanor.
This is a gift for Master Baishan.
Many guests watched carefully and were amazed. The Zhenxuan Sect has always been low-key, but they did not expect the disciples to be so powerful. Many disciples from other sects secretly wanted to compete with them.
As each process went by, people applauded from time to time.
Both the host and the guests enjoyed themselves.
Then came the gift-giving part.
Ning Qi sighed slightly. Three years ago, when his master held the Tianren Ceremony, there were many gifts. At that time, he thought it was quite impressive. But today, when he saw the Tianren Ceremony held by Taoist Baishan, he realized what it meant to be a small fry compared to a big fry. Those gifts were truly dazzling.
The difference in background was fully displayed at this moment.
Things like the Millennium Jade King Ginseng and Deep Sea Cold Iron are all rare treasures.
soon.
Then he arrived at the Zhenwu Sect.
Taoist Longshan presented a gift with a smile.
It is a piece of enlightenment tea and a set of precious tea sets obtained from the treasure house of the Demon Sect.
It immediately attracted many surprised looks.
They thought that although the Zhenwu Sect had been very popular recently, it lacked foundation after all. They did not expect that it would produce such a rare treasure as the Wudao Tea. For a moment, everyone looked up to the Zhenwu Sect even more.
Master Baihe seemed to be thinking about something.
He vaguely remembered that during the Longshan Taoist Heavenly Ceremony, the ancestor Wang Quanwang gave him a tea tree seed for enlightenment.
"Could it be that it is alive? I remember that it was almost a dead seed." He was a little shocked, and he knew even more about its value. If the Zhenwu sect really had a living enlightenment tea tree, it would truly be the sect's foundation.
He looked at Taoist Longshan with even more kindness.
Various sects sent gifts.
But not much.
Those who are qualified to present gifts on such occasions must be at the Tianren Realm. The other Gangyuan Realm powerhouses are not qualified to show up at all.
Wait until the last person in the Heaven Realm has delivered his gift.
White Elephant Zhenren slowly stood up, he smiled and bowed:
"Thank you all for your gifts. I have no way to repay you, so please listen to my views on the way of heaven and man!"
With the Zhenxuan Sect's current momentum, it is naturally not just Taoist Baishan who is preaching, but several other real people are there too. This is a strong momentum. Many other people in the celestial realm are also coming for Real Man Baixiang, who is extremely powerful.
Everyone is looking forward to it.
But just as White Elephant True Man finished speaking, a loud voice rang out from a distance:
"Don't worry, Master Baixiang. There are still gifts that have not been delivered to Dajue Temple!"
Everyone's expressions became strange.
Dajue Temple?
Isn't that a Buddhist force? Why did they suddenly appear at the Heavenly Ceremony of the Zhenxuan Sect?
