Chapter 194: Ancient Heavenly Sword Sage
The black tortoise carries the Zhenwu Palace on its back.
The whole body was wrapped in white mist, mysterious and unpredictable, like a strange beast from ancient history. Everyone held their breath. The invisible feeling of oppression made them dare not act recklessly, especially since someone had previously proposed to blow up the White Mist Island. Now they were even more trembling with fear.
The Martial Saint Zhan Tian's gaze fell on the giant turtle, seeming a little unhappy. If the giant turtle had not suddenly pulled him into the white mist, the dispute would have ended long ago.
but.
He looked at the giant turtle's vague intention to protect Ning Qi, and suddenly understood something in his heart.
"Long time no see." A vicissitudes of life voice sounded, "You don't seem to be in good condition."
The blind old man frowned. He could sense that the giant turtle's vitality was not as vigorous as before. This was not reasonable. He looked at Ning Qi thoughtfully.
The giant turtle raised his head:
"Fortunately, I won't die."
Ning Qi was silent.
The two big guys were talking, and the others didn't dare to interrupt. Martial Saint Chiyang wanted to speak several times, but he held it back.
The giant turtle didn't even look at him.
This time, it appeared only to support Ning Qi. It was enough for the Heaven-Slaying Martial Saint to understand. The giant turtle said a few words, and its huge pupils gradually closed, and it was about to fall asleep. Its voice was low:
"Sleep for a while longer. If there's anything urgent, just call me."
The white mist covering his body was glowing, and the fairy beast on his back became more hazy and full of beauty, which made people yearn for it.
The huge body sank again, causing huge waves.
In just a few breaths, the originally huge body completely disappeared above the sea surface. The black sand sea that originally had the wonder of white fog became ordinary again. Everyone looked at it in confusion and finally became convinced that the Zhenwu Palace was actually carried by a huge turtle.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed it.
Ning Qi felt grateful in his heart, but his expression remained calm. There was a hint of smirk in the giant turtle's eyes before he left.
Martial Saint Chiyang was about to speak.
The Heaven-Slaying Martial Saint said first:
"Well, let's end it here."
The words were calm and powerful and could not be refuted.
Ning Qi bowed slightly, showing respect to the peerless strong man.
The pupils of Chiyang Wusheng kept shrinking, his face turned pale and blue, and finally he snorted coldly, looking at Ning Qi viciously:
"Some things, if you take them by force, be careful not to break your hand!"
This is the ancient saint's natal secret treasure, with many marks inside. If an outsider uses it forcefully, he may suffer backlash.
Ning Qi was too lazy to pay attention.
The Martial Saint Zhan Tian shook his head slightly and walked away.
The Martial Saint Chiyang snorted coldly and also broke through the air and flew away. Several Heavenly Realm warriors who were carrying the golden sedan chair hurriedly followed him in a panic, fearing that if they left a little too late, they would be killed by the young Taoist with a single sword. Even the ancient sage had fallen, so they did not dare to be presumptuous.
Many eyes turned to Ning Qi in awe.
Today's battle was truly unprecedented.
The two ancient saints fought a fierce battle, burning the sky and boiling the sea, it was terrifying beyond belief.
Ning Qi's identity especially amazed them. It turned out that the real identity of the world-famous Tianjian Zhenren was actually an ancient saint, and he was still a teenager. This completely overturned everyone's cognition.
And then the true appearance of the Zhenwu Palace inheritance island was revealed, which made them amazed.
Each and every one of these things made everyone scream with excitement.
Ning Qi ignored those glances.
He landed beside Taoist Longshan and whispered:
"Master, I am incompetent and failed to kill Chi Yang. When I find an opportunity in the future, I will definitely avenge you today."
Taoist Longshan just smiled and waved his hand.
If we really want to find out, Martial Saint Chiyang is much more miserable than him. It's worth exchanging one for one with an ancient saint!
"Don't be impulsive. You have a bright future ahead of you. A little impatience can ruin a big plan. You have done well enough. I am very pleased with you."
Ning Qi was silent.
But deep down in his heart, he had already sentenced Martial Saint Chiyang to death.
When Taoist Longshan saw that Ning Qi was silent, he knew what he was thinking. He shook his head helplessly and said nothing more. He glanced at the awe-filled eyes around him and knew that this was not a place to stay for long.
"Let's go back."
Ning Qi nodded and waved his hand. The majestic power of heaven and earth enveloped everyone and they flew away at high speed, disappearing on the black sand sea.
The originally quiet atmosphere gradually became noisy.
Excited discussions echoed throughout the sea. Some people were discussing what had just happened and expressing their own opinions, while others were quietly diving into the sea to search, trying to see if there were any useful things left on the Heritage Island.
And as everything that happened here spread.
The world was shaken again.
This time.
The battle between the two ancient saints became the focus, but it was basically a one-sided defeat. The Martial Saint Chiyang became a background board, while Ning Qi became famous.
Some call him the Ancient Sage of Heavenly Sword, while others call him the Ancient Sage of White Dragon.
all in all.
The reputation of the Zhenwu sect was once again greatly enhanced. Originally, in the era when the ancient sages reappeared, the power of the Zhenwu sect had been greatly weakened. But now, another ancient sage has emerged in the Zhenwu sect, which amazed everyone.
Some people also talked about the inheritance of Zhenwu Temple.
Some people think that the ancient giant turtle just did it casually and left because it felt noisy, while others think otherwise and that the inheritance must have been taken away by someone.
Some careful observers, based on the giant turtle's vague actions of supporting Ning Qi, concluded that the Zhenwu School must have inherited the Zhenwu Palace's legacy.
There's just no evidence.
There are many rumors, but no one dares to verify them.
…
Mingwu Pavilion.
Many core members of the Zhenwu Sect gathered together, each with an excited look on their faces. They had heard about how Ning Qi had used his divine power to beat up the Ancient Saint Chiyang, and their blood was boiling.
Ning Qi smiled and said, facing everyone's expectant gazes:
"The Zhenwu inheritance is in hand."
Hearing this.
Everyone burst into cheers.
Taoist Longshan also laughed and stroked his beard. This was his wish and obsession, and now it was finally fulfilled by his disciple.
Ning Qi waved.
Books poured out like flowing water, and in an instant they filled the empty space in Mingwu Pavilion.
"This is only part of it. We need to expand the Sutra Repository again, and it would be best to divide it into different levels," Ning Qi suggested.
These are the foundation of the Zhenwu School.
With these martial arts classics, the path that Zhenwu disciples can take will be much broader and their upper limit will be higher.
Luo Wentian nodded repeatedly.
Ning Qi said again:
"This is the secret technique of 'Nine Heavenly Beings Fighting the Martial Saint', called Nine Three Returning to One. Brothers, you can study it more."
Everyone was filled with emotion, their eyes looking back at the past.
Once upon a time, this rumor was the goal of several fellow disciples, and now, it has finally come true before their eyes.
From the Nine Postures of Zhenwu to the Three Yuan Secret Records, they are passed down from generation to generation, and finally with the help of the technique of Nine Threes Returning to One, the perfect power of the nine celestial beings is merged into one and greatly amplified. This secret technique has high requirements and requires mutual communication and long-term tacit understanding.
Ning Qi has evaluated it and found that it is indeed possible to barely rival a Martial Saint, and this is not an exaggeration.
When he makes some further improvements in the future, perhaps he can continue to raise the upper limit and lower the requirements.
Ning Qi took out a few more books:
"This is the method of the Martial Saint. Master and Eighth Senior Brother can also familiarize themselves with it in advance."
Everyone was shocked again.
Martial Saint Method!
It was actually obtained by Ning Qi.
Ning Qi just chuckled.
He has not yet used the secret technique of the ancient saints to weaken the life poison. It will not be too late to use it when the two of them reach the perfection of heaven and man. They cannot access it now, but by that time, he should have deduced a method to filter out the life poison.
He handed over many classic books to Luo Wentian to deal with the aftermath.
Ning Qi felt relieved and at ease. The Zhenwu inheritance he obtained this time contained many classics and scriptures that were helpful to him. He could just read them slowly later.
He chatted with his fellow disciples about what they had seen and heard during the test, which attracted rounds of amazement, and then he left.
Stroll into the Tao Temple.
A familiar feeling came over me.
After all, it is not as comfortable as being in your own home when running around outside.
He glanced at the lush and leafy Wudao tea tree, smiled slightly, and injected three Heavenly Blood Pills, which came from the three Luofu Sword Masters. It could be considered a way of reusing waste and could accelerate the growth of the tea tree.
Ning Qi sat upright under the tea tree, concentrating his mind and adjusting his state.
After an incense stick of time, he slowly opened his eyes.
Now, he has one more important thing to do.
Big sun compass.
There was some anticipation in his eyes.
He snatched the Great Sun Compass from the hands of the Martial Saint Chiyang, firstly to vent his anger, and secondly because he was somewhat curious about the secret treasures of the ancient saints. It seemed to have some similarities with the Yu Wang Pearl, but also some differences.
The True Mysterious Seal of Taoist Baishan, the Glazed Buddha Tree of Buddha Baoshu, and the Great Sun Compass of Martial Saint Chiyang all have their own characteristics, and can provide inspiration for them to unleash the combat power of the Martial Saint realm in this era when inspiration has not yet revived.
"According to the records of the Martial Saint inheritance obtained this time, the combat power displayed by the ancient saints at this stage is at most the level of the first-level Martial Saint. But now it seems that there are three people who may be more than that, the Martial Saint Zhan Tian, the Martial Saint Da Yan, and Senior Xuangui."
Ning Qi's eyes flickered slightly.
He is no longer completely ignorant of the Martial Saint Realm.
There are five realms of Martial Saint, and each realm has a huge gap.
"When a martial saint cultivates the five elements of qi, his magic power gradually reaches perfection. However, there is no fixed order for cultivating the five elements of qi. For example, some people are attracted to water qi, and in the first stage they will store their magic power in their kidneys."
"The Martial Saint Chiyang is named after Chiyang. I don't know what level of Martial Saint he is at, but the first level he cultivates should be the energy of fire."
"Now that I think about it, these secret treasures also have attribute tendencies. If I'm not mistaken, the Yuwang Pearl is of the water attribute, and the Great Sun Compass is of the fire attribute. If I can use the Great Sun Compass for my own benefit, when my spiritual power is revived, I will have enough foundation, and perhaps I can break through two realms at once!"
Many thoughts ran through Ning Qi's mind.
He is already making plans for the revival of his spirit.
Compared to those ancient saints, his foundation is shallower, so naturally he has to spend more time on it. These days, he is not only studying with the Sword Demon on how to filter out the life poison, but he is also thinking about how to make rapid progress after becoming a Martial Saint.
Now, after receiving the inheritance from the Martial Saint of Zhenwu Temple, the direction became completely clear.
But everything still depends on whether the guess about the Sun Compass in front of us is correct.
Ning Qi senses the Yu Wang Pearl.
As the repressive force was released, the Great Sun Compass inside suddenly rushed out like a wild horse, trying to break through the air and leave, but Ning Qi was prepared. The vast power of heaven and earth gathered and turned into invisible chains, which contained the mysterious repressive power of the Small Zhenwu Seal.
The Great Sun Compass kept shaking, and its range of movement was shrinking smaller and smaller.
Ning Qi smiled slightly, with spiritual power wrapped around his fingertips, and slowly held the Big Sun Compass in his hand.
He looked at the slightly collapsed space inside the Yu Wang Pearl with some emotion.
"When I put the compass into the Yu Wang Pearl in the Black Sand Sea, I felt a little reluctant. As expected, this is completely different from putting it into ordinary things. If I hadn't been prepared, I'm afraid it would have escaped."
"Let me see what magic you have!"
Ning Qi became more and more interested.
He suppressed the Great Sun Compass with his spiritual power, and then began to explore carefully.
The compass was red in color with a hint of gold, like a large sun. Various exotic beasts were engraved on it, including a golden crow, a fire lion, and a fire crow. Some of the patterns were blurry, and some of them were vaguely stronger than the Golden Crow.
Ning Qi was a little frightened.
Obviously, the cultivation level of Martial Saint Chiyang has not yet recovered to its peak, and part of the power of this secret treasure has not yet been exerted.
There is a fiery force gathering within it.
Compared with Yu Wangzhu, this secret treasure has stronger killing power.
He continued to go deeper, and then was slightly stunned:
"brand?"
Ning Qi smiled.
This doesn't bother him.
Divine will poured out, and under the influence of spiritual power, he began to carefully explore the structure. With flashes of inspiration in his mind, he began to deconstruct the power in the middle.
…
at the same time.
Chiyang Sect.
Ever since the return of Martial Saint Chiyang, the entire sect has been in a depressing atmosphere. Everyone knows that the Martial Saint was humiliated outside and is extremely angry. Every warrior walks carefully and even subconsciously slows down their breathing to avoid incurring the wrath of Thunder.
But a moment later.
The terrifying sun's light still illuminated the entire land, and the uncontrollable roar of anger resounded through the sky, making everyone tremble:
"You bastard Tianjian, you are bullying me too much!!"
The eyes of Martial Saint Chiyang were wide open, and blood was flowing from the corners of his mouth.
Just now.
He sensed that the imprint of spiritual power he left in the Great Sun Compass was actually being dissolved by a force!
This means that he has temporarily lost all control over the Great Sun Compass.
Before, he was still sneering, thinking that Ning Qi was ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, and actually dared to covet the life secret treasure of an ancient saint. However, he did not expect that he would be slapped in the face in just a short moment. While he was angry, there was an incredible look in his eyes.
"How is this possible? This brand cannot be removed by ordinary people!"
"Could it be that the Heaven-Slaying Martial Saint, or that old turtle, took action?"
The face of Martial Saint Chiyang was uncertain.
He was a little anxious.
Without the Great Sun Compass, he would not be doomed, but he would still suffer heavy losses, which would affect his recovery of strength.
"Damn it, this guy's background is unknown, and that old turtle is backing him up. For now, I can only endure it."
Martial Saint Chiyang gritted his teeth.
"Wait a little longer until sister Ziyue returns. Then we can take advantage of her spiritual energy to kill her together and avenge her! By then, Zhan Tian Wusheng will also be transforming and will have no time to take care of other things. This is the best opportunity!"
He took a few deep breaths to suppress his violent temper.
He finally decided.
Keep a low profile during this period.
…
Seek Taoism.
There was joy in Ning Qi's eyes.
He played with the Big Sun Compass, which had shrunk to the size of a palm. After removing the brand, the Big Sun Compass had become extremely docile, allowing Ning Qi to rub it. He sensed it carefully and found that it indeed contained abundant fire power.
If he were allowed to use it, the power he would unleash would be stronger than that of the Red Sun Martial Saint.
"This Chiyang Martial Saint is really a waste. He has lived in vain for so many years. No wonder his character is so bad." Ning Qi was a little disdainful.
But it’s okay, it’s a good deal for him.
He already has an idea.
At that time, you can use this Great Sun Compass as a step for your promotion.
"Unfortunately, there are too few such opportunities. First, the other ancient saints are not simple people. Second, there is Martial Saint Zhan Tian here. If it weren't for Senior Black Turtle's face this time, I'm afraid the Great Sun Compass would not be able to be preserved." Ning Qi felt a little unsatisfied.
He played with it for a moment longer.
Finally, the compass was put away.
In this way, his means became more diverse and his endurance was greatly improved.
In the present and in the future.
These are all extremely good things.
After putting this matter to rest, Ning Qi breathed a sigh of relief.
The next step is to go all out to create a method to filter out the life-threatening poison. This time, with the technique of eliminating life-threatening poison created by the ancient saints, the problem of how to locate the life-threatening poison has been solved. With this secret technique as the foundation, Ning Qi is confident that he can create it before his spiritual inspiration revives.
but.
He had a hunch that this secret technique might be extremely difficult and no one except him might be able to learn it.
"The poison of rules involves the power of a higher dimension. If I want to filter it out within my current capabilities, I'm afraid there will be too many prerequisites."
He planned to go to the back mountain first.
Take a step forward.
Ning Qi's figure had disappeared from the spot.
The sword demon came over, his eyes full of anticipation:
"Fellow Daoist Tianjian, what did you gain from this trip?"
Ning Qi smiled and said:
"I have lived up to your trust and have inherited the legacy of the Martial Saint. You can take a look at it first."
The Sword Demon was overjoyed.
Ning Qi waved his hand, and several volumes of Martial Arts and the method to weaken the life poison that he had prepared long ago appeared in front of the Sword Demon. The Sword Demon sat cross-legged on the ground without any hesitation and began to watch eagerly.
The sun sets and the moon rises, neither stops.
He uttered exclamations from time to time, as if something suddenly dawned on him.
It was a long time before he stopped.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Tianjian!" Dao Mo bowed deeply and surrendered with a happy heart.
If anyone else had obtained the Martial Saint's inheritance, they would probably not have had enough time to hide it, let alone share it with others. However, Ning Qi did not hold back at all, which made him extremely grateful.
And besides.
He was amazed at Ning Qi's amazing wisdom.
It was because there was no difference at all between the Martial Saint Method he was watching now and the direction that Ning Qi had deduced before. But the problem was that the former was the wisdom of generations of sages, while Ning Qi was alone.
The Sword Demon knew clearly that he was just a bystander cheering, and Ning Qi could deduce the outcome with or without him. The role he played was so small that it could be ignored.
His greatest use is to test the abnormal things in the world.
“With this secret method, when your spiritual power is revived, you can use it to step into the realm of Martial Saint.” Ning Qi said with a smile.
The sword demon's eyes lit up, and then he shook his head and said:
"But the work is not yet done. Your ambitions are not limited to this."
Ning Qi said solemnly:
"To be honest, it is true, but I am afraid that the next more advanced secret method will not be of any benefit to you, so you don't need to risk your life to try it."
Simply put, even if the method to filter out the life poison was created, the Sword Demon would not be able to learn it, and Ning Qi did not want to take advantage of him.
The Sword Demon waved his hand decisively, his voice proud:
"Fellow Daoist Tian Jian has underestimated me! How could I not see the power of this secret technique over these days? Even now I am amazed. Once it is truly formed, it will definitely be beyond my reach. But it is precisely because of this that being able to participate in it is the blessing of my life!"
His dark pupils were glowing with light, a sign of his determination to accomplish a great feat.
Ning Qi was silent.
Then he bowed to the Sword Demon.
This salute is a tribute to the heroism of the Sword Demon.
Ning Qi said seriously:
"Once the secret method is accomplished, I will try my best to deduce a simplified version."
The sword demon just smiled and nodded.
He doesn’t mind whether he can learn or not, what he cares about is that he is involved in it.
Furthermore.
With the Martial Saint Method brought back by Ning Qi, he already has a path to becoming a Martial Saint. This is a huge help, and it is reasonable for him to repay Ning Qi.
Ning Qi is not pretentious.
"In that case, let's get started."
With this secret method, he already knew how to locate the life-threatening poison. The next step was to keep trying to filter it out.
Ning Qi skillfully synthesized wisps of spiritual energy, which were then absorbed into the body of the Sword Demon.
The difference is.
This time, Ning Qi could clearly sense the existence of the life-threatening poison. Compared to before, this was already a qualitative breakthrough.
His eyes lit up and his mind raced as he thought of various options.
"If three flowers are not enough, then we can use many roads to assist. Perhaps, using ten thousand roads to eliminate it is a feasible idea..."
The back mountain of Zhenwu.
No one knew that a shocking secret technique was brewing.
…
Time passes slowly.
The turmoil in the Zhenwu Temple continued to spread, and the Zhenwu Sect once again became the focus of the world.
As more and more ancient saints appeared in the world, they also became interested in the Zhenwu Sect. As they continued to investigate the history of the rise of the Zhenwu Sect, they were surprised to find that this ancient saint of Tianjian seemed a little strange. When they thought about the fact that Ning Qi could enter the Zhenwu Temple before, they had to link him with the ancient black tortoise.
Some ancient sages believed that this was an advance arrangement made by the Black Turtle of the Zhenwu Palace.
After all, the ancient saints would never be able to enter the Zhenwu Palace to inherit the legacy.
For a while.
The attitude of the ancient saints towards the Zhenwu Sect became somewhat ambiguous. Several invitation letters were even sent to Zhenwu Mountain, but Ning Qi declined them all on the grounds that he was in seclusion.
But only Taoist Baishan knew that Ning Qi was a pure monster!
After knowing that Ning Qi had beaten up the Chiyang Martial Saint and snatched the Great Sun Compass, he was a little stunned. Although the Chiyang Martial Saint was not the strongest one, he was almost the same as the Treasure Tree Buddha. But now he was suppressed by Ning Qi. It was even said that if the Zhantian Martial Saint had not intervened, the Chiyang Martial Saint would have been forced to burn most of his spiritual blood.
"This guy has become stronger than when he was in Zhenxuan Mountain. It's outrageous!" He was secretly amazed.
Ning Qi seemed to have no upper limit.
Such existence is somewhat unreasonable.
"Could it be possible that Ning Qi could become that variable? Someone once proposed training new people as an alternative plan, but it was rejected. Now it seems that we may have taken the wrong path?"
The Taoist priest from Baishan sighed.
The old guys buried their inspiration, and then revived it in the present world, of course, not just to survive the ruthless years.
"Maybe I should go to Zhenwu Mountain."
His eyes gradually became firm.
