Chapter 72: An Ant Sees The Blue Sky
“Master, can you let me feel the Heaven and Earth Power again?” Ning Qi’s words interrupted Dragon Mountain Daoist’s thoughts.
Ning Qi’s eyes were filled with curiosity.
Just now it was testing strength, but now he wanted to feel the Heaven and Earth Power up close again. He had wanted to do this before, but Dragon Mountain Daoist had been too busy and they never found the opportunity.
A smile appeared on Dragon Mountain Daoist’s face, rarely showing some eagerness to try.
Sometimes a disciple being too much of a prodigy was both a joyful and painful thing.
Dragon Mountain Daoist recalled that besides the opportunity to preach martial arts reason when Ning Qi first came into contact with the martial way, afterward he could no longer find any sense of achievement from Ning Qi, and even felt frustration.
No matter what was taught, Ning Qi learned it very quickly, and even if one wasn’t careful, he would use it better than you.
Who could withstand that.
But now.
The opportunity had come.
You surely wouldn’t know the things of the Heavenly Human Realm yet, right?
A smile appeared on Dragon Mountain Daoist’s face.
“Of course, this is perfect for your master to explain the Way of the Heavenly Human to you, letting you familiarize yourself with it in advance.”
Ning Qi nodded repeatedly.
Master and disciple sat quietly by the cliffside.
Although the cold wind was biting, for the two of them it was no different from a gentle breeze.
“The so-called Heavenly Human Realm emphasizes using human power to leverage the Heaven and Earth Power. Human power is finite, but Heaven and Earth Power is infinite. By merging the divine with the Core Elixir, resonating with the Heaven and Earth Will in the void…”
Dragon Mountain Daoist explained patiently, his voice gentle. He held nothing back, revealing all his comprehensions from this period.
As he spoke, strands of Heaven and Earth Power gathered, swirling around Ning Qi’s side.
Although far less active than during the initial breakthrough, it was extremely gentle, not as violent as before.
As Ning Qi listened, one spiritual insight after another rose in his mind.
Compared to when Dragon Mountain Daoist advanced to Heavenly Human, his comprehension had improved greatly, and his realm was higher, immediately giving him different insights.
Unknowingly, Ning Qi had closed his eyes.
The Unity of Heaven and Man Secret Technique operated unconsciously. He entered a wondrous state, and the Heaven and Earth Power around him became even clearer.
“Heaven and Earth Power is a mystical power filling heaven and earth. But before stepping into the Heavenly Human Realm, one cannot perceive it at all, let alone control it in advance.”
“Human power is finite, heavenly power infinite. The reason I can now barely spar with Heavenly Human Realm experts is because my Gang Qi is overly vast. But if I could control some Heaven and Earth Power in advance? Perhaps the gap could be made even smaller.”
“Divine merges with Core Elixir, but I don’t have a Core Elixir yet. Can something else substitute?”
…
Ideas continuously rose in Ning Qi’s mind, spiritual insights like a waterfall. He had already fallen into a wondrous enlightenment state.
As Dragon Mountain Daoist spoke, he noticed something was off.
His beard couldn’t help but tremble.
“Little Nine… this is… enlightenment?”
“And the power swirling around him is… Heaven and Earth Power?!”
Dragon Mountain Daoist couldn’t help sucking in a cold breath inwardly.
When Ning Qi displayed strength not inferior to the Core Elixir Realm, he wasn’t this shocked. But now, when Ning Qi showed the ability to control Heaven and Earth Power, he was truly stunned!
Advancing to Heavenly Human Realm?
Impossible.
That would mean Ning Qi could resonate with Heaven and Earth Power before reaching the Heavenly Human Realm.
This was unheard of.
Dragon Mountain Daoist’s heart surged with waves, his voice unconsciously lowered, afraid to disturb Ning Qi’s enlightenment.
He didn’t know how much time passed.
The sky gradually brightened.
Only then did Ning Qi slowly open his eyes.
His eyes were filled with joy.
This lecture from Dragon Mountain Daoist had brought him great gains!
Not only did it let him further understand the path to advancement for Heavenly Human Realm experts, but he also created this trump card secret technique.
Heavenly Sword Technique.
This sword dao secret technique was the result of Ning Qi attempting to control Heaven and Earth Power.
Only by first entering the Unity of Heaven and Man state could he draw some Heaven and Earth Power, then condense it with his body’s Gang Qi into a Heavenly Sword.
Ning Qi felt that even Heavenly Human Realm experts would have to avoid its sharpness.
Facing the gradually rising sun, Ning Qi respectfully bowed to Dragon Mountain Daoist:
“Disciple thanks Master for preaching the Dao!”
Dragon Mountain Daoist smiled bitterly inwardly. He originally thought he could use the Heavenly Human Realm to suppress and show off a bit in front of his little disciple, but he was struck hard again.
But he still couldn’t help asking:
“Qi’er, what was that around you just now…”
Ning Qi suddenly realized and naturally took out a secret manual he had prepared long ago from his bosom.
“I almost forgot to tell Master. This is the Unity of Heaven and Man Secret Technique that Disciple comprehended from watching Master’s breakthrough to Heavenly Human Realm. I was just preparing to give it to Master.”
The Heavenly Sword Technique was unique to prodigies like Ning Qi, who were in the Gang Yuan Realm yet could use Heaven and Earth Power, so he didn’t give it to Dragon Mountain Daoist.
But the Unity of Heaven and Man Secret Technique was fine. Dragon Mountain Daoist could also use it, and it might greatly help him.
“Unity of Heaven and Man Secret Technique?” Dragon Mountain Daoist was slightly stunned. He originally wanted to refuse, but his hands had already subconsciously taken it.
He took a light breath and slowly opened the booklet.
“The bone structure of man already hides the mysteries of heaven and earth.”
The first sentence struck him like lightning, spiritual insight flashing.
Dragon Mountain Daoist flipped through the pages hungrily, completely immersed in it.
He didn’t know how much time passed.
Only then did he blankly lift his head from the book, his eyes filled with shock.
The words “stunning genius” were no longer enough to describe this secret technique. Such ingenious ideas, even if given him centuries, he couldn’t touch a fraction of it. He felt an absurd sense like an ant gazing at the blue sky.
A trace of embarrassment involuntarily appeared on his face, after all, the creator of this secret technique was his own little disciple.
Seeing that the surroundings were empty and Ning Qi had already left, Dragon Mountain Daoist then let out a breath.
He gazed at the distant green mountains and couldn’t help laughing loudly.
He felt that taking Ning Qi as a disciple was perhaps the most correct decision of his life.
…
After obtaining the Unity of Heaven and Man Secret Technique, Dragon Mountain Daoist began to diligently study it.
This secret technique made it much easier for him to comprehend Heaven and Earth Power, and even his combat power improved greatly. He felt that if he faced the Wang Family Old Ancestor again, he could handle it much more easily.
Until one month before the Heavenly Human Ceremony.
Dragon Mountain Daoist set off down the mountain.
The Heavenly Human Ceremony also required inviting several Heavenly Human experts, so he naturally had to go personally. With his speed, it wouldn’t take too long.
And at this moment, as True Martial Disciples who went down the mountain to deliver invitations returned one by one, the martial world of Qingzhou became increasingly heated. People kept arriving early, and the newly expanded True Martial City became even more bustling.
Countless gazes fell on True Martial Mountain, awaiting the arrival of the Heavenly Human Ceremony.
True Martial Mountain had already become the focus of all attention.
