Chapter 63: Dragon Tiger Eagle Secret Record
Three True Intent Diagrams.
One Overlord Tiger Descending the Mountain, one Sky Eagle Soaring in the Sky, one Mad Dragon Emerging from the Sea.
All were incredibly lifelike.
Especially after being cleansed by Dragon Mountain Daoist’s Heavenly Human power, they had fully restored the complete charm of the True Intent Diagrams. Previously, when peeling the True Intent Diagram from the Flying Eagle, there were inevitably some flaws, but now they had completely disappeared.
Ning Qi looked at them seriously.
With his prior experience in comprehending the Overlord Tiger True Intent Diagram, he quickly entered the state.
In an instant.
The three diagrams before his eyes all vanished, and Ning Qi felt himself entering a magical world, a vast expanse of white mist.
Suddenly.
The white mist parted, revealing a strange peak piercing the clouds, with a giant tiger coiled atop it, roaring toward the heavens. The fur on its body and its sharp teeth in its mouth were clearly visible, and every leap and breath was filled with a divine charm—this was a scene that the standalone Overlord Tiger True Intent Diagram had not allowed him to experience before.
Next, an ancient eagle that blotted out the sky parted the clouds, as if descending from the Nine Heavens, vast and majestic, its gaze overlooking everything. Its sharp cry tore through vast swathes of clouds, revealing an endless sea beneath.
The sea surged violently, accompanied by a deafening dragon’s roar, as a divine dragon burst out of the sea, its upper body coiling as it confronted the giant tiger and ancient eagle.
In an instant.
The originally desolate white mist space now had the dragon, tiger, and eagle three beasts facing off, each displaying their supernatural powers, with indescribable splendor.
Ning Qi’s mind was completely immersed in it.
Strands of insights flowed through his heart.
These three True Intent Diagrams seemed to surpass even his imagination.
He didn’t know how much time had passed when Ning Qi reopened his eyes, joy in his gaze.
“These three True Intent Diagrams represent three inheritances, or they can be seen as one inheritance!”
“The Overlord Tiger True Intent Diagram corresponds to the Overlord Tiger Stance, Overlord Tiger Strength, and Overlord Tiger True Gang, forming a continuous lineage from the Body Tempering Realm to the Gang Yuan Realm. The Sky Eagle True Intent Diagram and Mad Dragon True Intent Diagram are the same. Now that I have obtained these three major True Intent Diagrams and integrated them into the Myriad Manifestations Chapter, it takes my Myriad Manifestations Chapter to the next level.”
“Not only that, it has nearly fully formed the Myriad Manifestations True Gang that I have long been conceptualizing. I just need to perfect it a bit more, and my Gang Yuan Realm method will have no further worries.”
The Myriad Manifestations True Gang was also something Ning Qi placed great hopes on.
Comprehend the myriad phenomena, transform into the myriad phenomena.
Gang Qi changes with the heart, combines at will—this was a realm that ordinary people could not even conceive.
Ning Qi was in a joyful mood; this harvest was already immense.
“But this is not the most exquisite part of the three major True Intent Diagrams. The Iron Ridge Three Fiends were simply guarding Treasure Mountain without entering it. Previously, I thought it only contained a simple Heavenly Human Secret Technique, but who would have thought it was actually the complete Heavenly Human cultivation secret record!”
“Overlord Tiger Secret Record cultivates the tiger’s essence; Mad Dragon Secret Record cultivates the dragon’s qi; Sky Eagle Secret Record cultivates the eagle’s spirit. These three methods can all directly reach the Heavenly Human Perfection Realm, so they can be seen as three inheritances.”
“But if the three are combined, cultivating tiger essence, dragon qi, and eagle spirit, with Three Flowers Gathering at the Apex, it becomes a peerless inheritance directly pointing to the Martial Saint Realm!”
Ning Qi felt somewhat emotional.
The Iron Ridge Three Fiends coveted the True Martial Inheritance, yet they didn’t know that they themselves carried a Treasure Mountain no less than the True Martial Inheritance!
With these three secret records combined, compared to the True Martial Sect’s sole Heavenly Human cultivation method, the Three Yuan Secret Record, it was not much inferior. Both could reach Heavenly Human Perfection separately, and directly point to the Martial Saint Realm when combined—peerless cultivation methods.
Ever since the last time Dragon Mountain Daoist emerged from seclusion and Ning Qi borrowed the opportunity to create the Unity of Heaven and Man Secret Technique, he had gained a deeper understanding of Heavenly Human Realm cultivation.
The Heavenly Human Realm cultivates the Three Flowers of Essence, Qi, and Spirit.
This realm was rather special.
One could cultivate only one realm or two realms, which allowed relatively easy achievement of the Heavenly Human Perfection Realm, but breaking through to the next realm would be extremely difficult, with almost no hope.
If one wanted to achieve Martial Saint, they had to cultivate all three realms together, perfect the Three Flowers of Essence, Qi, and Spirit, and reach the realm of Three Flowers Gathering at the Apex.
For nearly a millennium, for some unknown reason, the hope of promotion to Martial Saint had been exceedingly slim. Many Heavenly Human Realm experts no longer pursued the path of Three Flowers Gathering at the Apex, as it allowed them to gain stronger combat power as quickly as possible within their limited lifespan.
For example, the previous Wang Family Old Ancestor had specialized in cultivating the Essence Flower, keeping essence and qi latent on ordinary days and fully erupting them in battle, which produced that miracle of vitality reversal and return to youth.
“Now with the Dragon Tiger Eagle Secret Record and the Three Yuan Secret Record, when I advance to the Heavenly Human Realm in the future, I will have more references, saving more time.”
Ning Qi had already begun considering his future cultivation.
For him.
The Inner Yuan Realm and even the Gang Yuan Realm held no great secrets.
Next was simply spending time to break through realms.
Naturally, he had to prepare early. The Unity of Heaven and Man Secret Technique had already given him the capital to peek into the Heavenly Human Realm ahead of time.
Casting aside stray thoughts.
Ning Qi began writing down the various cultivation methods he had comprehended, leaving them behind. The senior expert of this True Intent Diagram had hoped his inheritor would have superhuman comprehension and deliberately set difficult trials, but Ning Qi did not have this habit. He wrote them down, added his own understanding, and placed them in the Scripture Depository, also bolstering the True Martial Sect’s foundation.
Ning Qi estimated that this Dragon Tiger Eagle Secret Record would also be of considerable help to his master, allowing analogous insights.
As for the True Intent Diagrams, they could be used to assist in comprehending cultivation methods. Otherwise, with the Iron Ridge Three Fiends’ aptitude and comprehension, they probably couldn’t even comprehend an Inner Yuan Realm cultivation method, but Ning Qi didn’t need them and could use them later to reward other disciples.
…
The martial training atmosphere on True Martial Mountain was unprecedentedly fervent.
Everyone knew the Heavenly Human Ceremony was approaching, and many forces’ experts from Qingzhou would come to observe the ceremony. No one wanted to lose face for their sect, so even Ye Qinghe trained diligently.
This way.
The Seeker’s Courtyard became quiet instead.
Ning Qi was happy with this.
His daily life was incredibly fulfilling.
His own cultivation, creating secret techniques, reverse-engineering the Condensing Gang Pill Formula, reading classics in the Scripture Depository… each task required effort to complete.
Thus.
Ten days later.
Ning Qi had a sudden insight.
He first used the Great Dream Nine Deaths Strength as a foundation, attempting to simplify it and reduce the difficulty, ultimately creating the Sleep Dream Skill.
Then he studied pharmacology, experimenting continuously, and created the matching Sleep Dream Pill Formula.
The Sleep Dream Skill was the secret technique Ning Qi devised to accelerate Inner Strength cultivation. In a sense, it could be seen as a castrated version of a castrated version of the Great Dream Nine Deaths Strength. After others cultivated it, they could achieve faster Stacked Strength effects in their sleep and dreams.
It wasn’t that Ning Qi didn’t want to teach them better ones; the key was that they wouldn’t be able to learn them even if taught.
Even the Sleep Dream Skill was quite difficult.
For this, Ning Qi specially gave them a cheat.
With the Sleep Dream Pill, they didn’t need to comprehend that special artistic conception to succeed; they could directly enter the sleep dream cultivation state.
Ning Qi originally thought about whether to hand it directly to his senior brothers and senior sisters, but on second thought, he felt it improper. Since the Condensing Gang Pill Formula was nearly complete, he could hand it all over at once then, and say it was an incidental gain during the process of deducing the Condensing Gang Pill Formula.
Another half month passed.
Under Ning Qi’s constant attempts, the Condensing Gang Pill Formula was successfully deduced.
Double celebrations.
