Chapter 259: Granting Techniques, True Disciple Ranking
The former First True Disciple Ye Chen was confined by Draw a Circle to Confine outside Five Elements Peak. This news once again quietly spread throughout the entire Boundless Sword Sect.
All people felt unprecedented contempt for Ye Chen deep in their hearts.
When Ye Chen was previously the First True Disciple, the congregation had not noticed how many flaws he had.
Even if there were any, they would automatically beautify them.
Now, the Immortal Seed Ning Qi effortlessly trapped him, defeating him twice as easily as Sword Light sweeping away grass clippings.
Only then did the congregation realize that the First True Disciple should indeed be someone like Ning Qi.
Compared to Ye Chen, Ning Qi always gave the congregation a feeling of transcendent demeanor.
He treated Sect Elders and the Sect Leader without servility or arrogance, and to those below him, he was as warm as the wind, doing his utmost to protect them.
If the future Sect Leader of Boundless Sword Sect was to be selected from the Top Ten True Disciples, then naturally everyone would prefer someone like Ning Qi to be chosen.
After all, no one hoped their own Sect Leader would be like Ye Chen, treating even someone like Wang Ye, ranked ninth among the True Disciples, like a dog. One could imagine how he treated the rest.
Of course, the Sect Leader position that was unattainable in their eyes, Ning Qi perhaps had never taken it to heart. His vision had long since jumped out of the framework of Boundless Sword Sect.
It was not as Ye Chen and others thought, that with one more competitor for Sect Leader, they were just ordinary people worrying unnecessarily.
As for Wang Ye leaving Wind Thunder Peak, aside from the Ye Family people, no one else did not feel he was exceptionally decisive.
His actions even once again incited more people to want to follow Ning Qi and join his Five Elements Peak.
……
After taking Wang Ye into Five Elements Peak, Ning Qi let Qin Minghao manage everything, while he once again entered Closed-door Cultivation.
Gazing at the one green and one purple pair of Spiritual Swords floating before his eyes, Ning Qi’s eyes gleamed with Golden Light. Primordial Spirit Power seeped into the two swords, carefully comprehending the trace of Power of Rules contained within them.
This pair of Spiritual Swords was a Low-grade Spirit Treasure specially found for Ye Chen by the Ye Family, costing an unknown amount of effort, extremely compatible with Ye Chen’s Wind Thunder Sword Body.
The Ye Family had schemed well, but now it had fallen into Ning Qi’s hands.
Ye Chen probably wouldn’t have time to comprehend the Power of Rules within to advance to Void Dao Realm, but Ning Qi would seize the opportunity first. At that time, Ye Chen would not know how depressed he would be.
Ning Qi’s Primordial Spirit Power and the Spiritual Energy in his body surged into the Purple Green Twin Swords, instantly causing Sword Qi to rush to the heavens in this Closed-door Cultivation place.
The Wind and Thunder Power contained within was also released simultaneously. The green and purple colors intermingled brilliantly, illuminating the secret chamber as if the sky had changed.
The sound of Wind and Thunder boomed greatly. Just the revealed Sharpness seemed capable of tearing the Void.
“Good swords!”
Ning Qi’s gaze burned as he praised.
What he valued was not the momentum of the two swords, but the Power of Rules within them.
Wind and Thunder complemented each other, both excelling in offense and speed. If the two cooperated, or even fused, the power unleashed would be unimaginable.
The Five Elements Power Ning Qi currently displayed externally had Mutual Generation and Restraint, able to form a self-sustaining cycle.
What Ning Qi thought was that when he obtained the Origin of Sword Rules, incorporating it into True Martial Realm could also ensure balance of the rules.
But that did not mean Ning Qi was satisfied. He also needed the Wind and Thunder Rules.
The Rules of Ten Thousand Daos were essential for True Martial Realm’s advancement.
Comprehending various Power of Rules one step earlier allowed Ning Qi to select which Rule Power was easier to grasp.
Under the enhancement of his Comprehension, as long as he comprehended one Dao, it was like opening a path in the boundless Rules wilderness, allowing him to proceed, and the others would also be within reach.
Ning Qi calmed his mind and spirit, his body and mind empty and clear, immersing his Mind into the Purple Green Twin Swords, carefully studying the Power of Rules upon them.
He even released the Golden Sun Sword given by Cang Wanhe, comparing and analyzing them together.
A long, long time passed, who knows how many days.
Three colors reflected in Ning Qi’s eyes, slowly fading.
Under the powerful Comprehension and the enhancement of Enlightenment Realm Tree, Ning Qi created several more Supernatural Powers.
One was Golden Sun Dawn, a version above the Yin Yang Sword Dao that Ning Qi had instructed Qin Minghao in.
The Yin Yang Sword Dao currently mastered by Qin Minghao was merely black and white Qi. The Supernatural Power created by Ning Qi tended toward Dao principles: one sword strike like the break of dawn at morning and dusk, black and white transforming.
It truly matched that line: Creation favors divine splendor, Yin and Yang cleave dusk and dawn.
One was Wind Wings Thunder Feathers, a rare Supernatural Power created by Ning Qi that combined speed and offense.
……
Finally, Ning Qi thought of Wang Ye who had joined Five Elements Peak.
Wang Ye, as the Ninth True Disciple, had actively defected from Wind Thunder Peak, offending Ye Chen and the Ye Family to come to him. It could be said he had resolved to break the cauldrons and sink the boats.
No matter what, Ning Qi at least had to come up with something to give this Ninth True Disciple some gains, rather than painting pies like Ye Chen.
Perhaps in the future, others among the Top Ten True Disciples would not be able to hold back and come to his Five Elements Peak.
What Wang Ye sought was merely to perfect the Three Heads Six Arms Fiend Body. What was so difficult about that?
Not only did Ning Qi easily perfect Wang Ye’s Three Heads Six Arms Fiend Body, he even prepared subsequent versions.
Three heads and six arms not enough?
How about ten arms? Ten arms not enough, then a hundred arms. Even the final form Ning Qi had already decided: a thousand arms!
……
After Wang Ye joined Five Elements Peak, the atmosphere inside was beyond his expectations.
Unlike Ye Chen’s Wind Thunder Peak, on Five Elements Peak, aside from time for self-cultivation, the True Disciples would pull anyone they saw into Sparring.
For example:
“Senior Brother Li, don’t go. I’ve had some enlightenment recently. Spar with me a few moves.”
“Heh, I just had a Breakthrough recently too. How about we verify each other?”
“Hey, Junior Brother Sha, you’re in such a hurry. Are you going to find someone to cultivate together?”
“I’ve had some occasional gains recently. Senior Brother Zhang, do you have the same idea?”
“Exactly. Let’s exchange.”
Initially, when Wang Ye saw this scene, he thought it was just a coincidence. But as he spent more time on Five Elements Peak, he saw countless similar scenes.
Wang Ye’s eyes instantly reddened.
On one hand, he hated himself for being blind, wasting so many years with Ye Chen in vain, squandering his time.
On the other hand, he yearned for it. What a great atmosphere. Senior Brother Ning Qi’s Five Elements Peak was simply the most hopeful place in Boundless Sword Sect.
Wang Ye was also pulled to spar a few times. The more he cultivated with the disciples on Five Elements Peak, the more envious he felt.
Why did the people on Five Elements Peak always have new ideas every few days?
Their Comprehension was too heaven-defying.
Compared to these people, Wang Ye suddenly felt himself immature like a novice wild man whose mind had not yet opened.
He remembered being pulled by someone to spar three times, and each time the other had progressed, with astonishing growth speed!
Wang Ye could not figure it out and told his thoughts to Qin Minghao.
Qin Minghao gave him a meaningful look, then said:
“Senior Brother Wang, you are the Ninth True Disciple, with talent stronger than all of us. But we’ve followed Senior Brother Ning for so long, influenced by him, inspiration flowing like a spring is the norm.”
“After Senior Brother Ning comes out of seclusion, you will definitely gain something too. It absolutely won’t be like it was with Ye Chen!”
Wang Ye looked full of expectation, then gazed at Qin Minghao and said, “My discernment is not as good as yours, nor my courage.”
Qin Minghao smiled. That was true.
The most correct thing he had done in his life was to come to Senior Brother Ning Qi.
Then, Qin Minghao pulled Wang Ye to spar several times.
Each time, Wang Ye lost openly and fairly, with nothing to say!
From then on, Wang Ye no longer had the pride of the Ninth True Disciple and became increasingly humble.
Moreover, he fully integrated into life on Five Elements Peak, actively participating in all matters.
Of course, Wang Ye also had a hidden worry.
A few days ago, he had defected from Wind Thunder Peak. Ye Chen and the Ye Family people certainly would not let him go.
But due to Senior Brother Ning’s Aura, Ye Chen and others probably wouldn’t dare act recklessly in the Sect. But if outside the Sect, it was uncertain.
Wang Ye almost went to Senior Brother Ning’s Closed-door Cultivation place every day, standing far away and gazing for a while, never missing a day.
He anticipated Senior Brother Ning coming out of seclusion, anticipated himself becoming like the others on Five Elements Peak.
……
On this day, ten thousand miles without clouds, Wang Ye came again to Ning Qi’s Closed-door Cultivation location.
Just as he was about to leave, the door suddenly swung wide open.
Wang Ye couldn’t help looking. He saw green and purple lights shining out, as if the sky had changed.
Wind and Thunder intertwined, then contracted back to the source. A human figure like a white cloud floated out.
Wang Ye’s eyelids twitched wildly. He had seen such momentum on Ye Chen before.
But Ye Chen had Wind and Thunder Spirit Body, while Senior Brother Ning did not!
Wang Ye gazed at the approaching figure and suddenly felt himself much shorter, as if looking up at a Giant.
How long had it been? Senior Brother Ning had actually learned even Ye Chen’s signature ultimate technique!
Ning Qi’s eyes opened and closed, within them seeming to contain Worlds being born and destroyed.
“You’re just in time. Come with me.”
In mere moments, Wang Ye followed Ning Qi into the great hall with an excited mood.
The two sat down. A Jade Slip automatically flew out from Ning Qi’s body, floating before Wang Ye.
Wang Ye was somewhat dazed, not knowing what Ning Qi meant.
“Take a look?”
Wang Ye’s eyes lit up, as if thinking of something. His eyes brightened again. This sentence made Wang Ye lose all restraint. He excitedly grabbed the Jade Slip and probed it with Mana.
Ning Qi smiled without speaking.
At this time, Lu Ziyue received the news of Ning Qi coming out of seclusion and hurried here as well.
“Senior Brother Ning!”
Lu Ziyue called Ning Qi Senior Brother Ning again. The phrasing was already habitual, unlike the initial Entanglement.
She and Wang Ye had joined Five Elements Peak around the same time, so Lu Ziyue had seen the changes on Five Elements Peak clearly.
Lu Ziyue’s beautiful eyes gazed at Ning Qi, her heart surging with Giant Waves.
What kind of Existence had she picked up back then?
Ning Qi’s own talent being called Immortal Seed was one thing, but he had managed the entire Five Elements Peak in perfect order, thriving from top to bottom, with followers under him progressing one by one, greater than the last.
It had clearly formed its own faction, with the scene of all things renewed like the beginning of Creation.
Before Lu Ziyue could think more, Ning Qi said:
“Ziyue, I’ve also prepared a set of Cultivation Method for you.”
Lu Ziyue was pulled back to reality by Ning Qi’s words.
“Senior Brother Ning, Ziyue really doesn’t know how to thank you.”
She still remembered that every time she exchanged with Ning Qi before, she had gained immensely.
Now, having finally Broken through to Nascent Soul Realm with great difficulty, Ning Qi was already like the sun at noon, she could only look up at his brilliance.
Unexpectedly, Ning Qi had paved the road ahead for her, preparing everything, just like fishing her out of the mortal dust and placing her in the Nine Heavens.
She knew her own talent was merely average even among True Disciples.
Now, how many True Disciples were breaking their heads to join Five Elements Peak?
Glancing at Wang Ye sitting beside her, even the Ninth True Disciple like Wang Ye had abandoned Ye Chen to come. It was enough to show Five Elements Peak’s status among True Disciples.
Lu Ziyue knew that who knows how many in the Sect envied her, but Destiny had favored her so.
“What need is there for thanks between us?”
Ning Qi smiled faintly, his face like the rising sun, his countenance as warm as morning light.
Lu Ziyue’s personality was straightforward. Her willow brows furrowed slightly, then relaxed.
She took the Jade Slip handed by Ning Qi and said:
“Now I have no choice but to cultivate desperately too. Otherwise, there will always be people like Ye Chen using me to target you. I don’t want to let them have their way.”
The smile on Ning Qi’s face suddenly vanished as he said domineeringly:
“Believe me, you will soon look down on Ye Chen.”
Lu Ziyue suddenly smiled radiantly and said, “I believe you.”
While the two were exchanging, Wang Ye’s Spiritual Sense beside them slowly returned.
With their Nascent Soul Realm Spiritual Sense so powerful, reading the Jade Slip allowed them to scan the entire content in a blink.
But at this moment, Wang Ye felt as if in a dream. He simply dared not believe that the complete version of Three Heads Six Arms Fiend Body was obtained by him so easily.
Even, he scanned the Cultivation Method in the Jade Slip several times, each time bringing Enlightenment, like drinking sweet dew.
What shocked Wang Ye even more was that the version given by Senior Brother Ning was absolutely several times stronger than the original complete version of Three Heads Six Arms Fiend Body.
As someone who had practiced this method for many years, not only had he speculated on the complete version himself, he had also asked Ye Chen and the Elders in the Sect to look at it.
Everyone had concluded that the complete version of Three Heads Six Arms Fiend Body could at most increase Wang Ye’s current Strength fivefold, with hope of glimpsing the subsequent Void Dao Realm barely possible.
But the version given by Ning Qi simply pointed out a broad avenue for him. Stepping into Void Dao Realm was absolutely no problem, and even subsequent Realms could be glimpsed.
Wang Ye’s mind was dazed. He scanned the Jade Slip content several times, some parts seeming to contain profound meanings he could not comprehend.
Thus, he sat respectfully to the side, cold sweat beading on his forehead, his heart like a Boulder thrown into a lake.
Seeing Wang Ye awaken, Ning Qi and Lu Ziyue both looked toward him.
Lu Ziyue was perceptive and noticed Wang Ye’s Reaction completely, very curious in her heart about what Senior Brother Ning had given Wang Ye to shock the Ninth True Disciple so.
“Wang Ye, since you’ve joined my Five Elements Peak, no need to be reserved. Is there a problem with the Jade Slip?”
Wang Ye’s tall body seemed to shrink into a ball. He lowered his head like performing Disciple etiquette, then said:
“Senior Brother Ning, what you mentioned in the Jade Slip, having me choose Heavy Soldier or Heavy Law, that one sentence of profound meaning made me hear the Dao sound, my confusion gone, knowing the path ahead.”
He paused, then continued:
“But I have fallen into even deeper confusion, not knowing what that sentence truly means. Please resolve my doubts.”
Lu Ziyue lightly covered her red lips, her beautiful eyes shining, staring at Ning Qi, awaiting Ning Qi’s Speech.
As one of the Top Ten True Disciples, she naturally knew his affairs, knew Wang Ye had followed Ye Chen for the incomplete Three Heads Six Arms Fiend Body and never achieved his wish.
Now Ning Qi had easily pointed out Wang Ye’s Cultivation path.
The Gap between them was truly like bright moon and fireflies.
Ning Qi said:
“I’ll explain it to you in detail.”
“Heavy Soldier: you mainly practice Body Refining, using your own Dharma Body as soldiers, paired with Magic Treasures—extremely crude.”
Wang Ye felt ashamed and waited for Ning Qi to continue.
“The Magic Treasures you currently use are merely blades, spears, swords, halberds. If walking the Heavy Soldier Path, why not gather matching Magic Treasures, cooperating with each other, invincible in Formation Setting?”
Wang Ye’s face was full of excitement, vaguely enlightened, and hurriedly asked: “Please tell me, Senior Brother Ning, what about Heavy Law?”
Ning Qi spoke calmly.
“Heavy Law, heh. If your six arms and three heads each master a Secret Technique, when Secret Techniques are unleashed together, who can contend?”
“Though you mainly practice Body Refining, if you want to step into Void Dao Realm, you must learn Secret Techniques. Moreover, gathering matching Magic Treasures would be too slow relying on yourself alone, and too dependent on Magic Treasures. Better Heavy Law. If you want Methods, I have plenty here.”
Images flickered in Wang Ye’s eyes as he used his Nascent Soul Realm Spiritual Sense to simulate Ning Qi’s described Methods.
Without doubt, just from his expression, one could tell how excited he was.
In one scene, his hundred-zhang Dharma Body wielded matching Magic Treasures, one man forming an array, slaying enemy crowds under the Magic Treasures.
In another scene, on his hundred-zhang Dharma Body, three heads and six arms each cast Secret Techniques, unleashing together like dragons. No matter what enemies, all had countermeasures!
“But no matter which path you choose, remember these six characters.”
Ning Qi’s voice was like a great bell, timely interrupting Wang Ye’s imagination.
Wang Ye’s expression turned serious and said, “Please instruct me, Senior Brother Ning.”
“Attack, speed, defense, confinement, limit, weaken—six in one!”
Simple words once again broadened Wang Ye’s horizons.
“If you use the Three Heads Six Arms Dharma Body to master all-around means, who is your enemy?”
“If that day you had a defensive shield or corresponding Spell, could Qin Minghao have defeated you? If you had confinement ability and speed Methods, others couldn’t even escape. Even facing strong enemies, if you had limiting and weakening techniques, victory or defeat would be uncertain.”
Thus, another scene appeared in Wang Ye’s mind.
That day fighting Qin Minghao, if he had a shield activating a defensive Barrier, the opponent’s black and white Sword Qi would have almost no way in.
If he had a Binding Immortal Rope, the opponent couldn’t run. If there was also a Magic Treasure or Method to limit and weaken the opponent’s abilities, not to mention.
The same if corresponding Spells. Truly gathering a complete set, he could probably press Ye Chen and beat him now!
After the few exchanged and finished.
The gaze Wang Ye directed at Ning Qi was full of gratitude, and at the same time, a layer of indelible Reverence in his eyes.
This man before him had casually pointed out his future. That transcendent demeanor especially convinced him.
If Ye Chen had given him such great help, Wang Ye was sure Ye Chen or the Ye Family would want the whole world to know, making him continue as their dog for the rest of his life.
But Senior Brother Ning was like the only brilliant sun traveling in the heavens. Just one ray shining on him benefited him for life!
Wang Ye’s heart merged with the Dao, secretly vowing to follow Ning Qi, giving liver and brain for him.
Wang Ye and Lu Ziyue left one after another, both entering Closed-door Cultivation.
The subsequent year passed quietly.
In this year, Five Elements Peak became increasingly prosperous, its Strength like a great river entering the sea, growing daily.
Another twenty Boundless Sword Sect True Disciples joined under him, each the best of the best.
Talent aside, all had excellent character.
The congregation watched, Five Elements Peak having a trend of gathering all the fine talents and Jade beauties of Sword Sect.
……
On this day one year later.
The Sect reopened True Disciple ranking. Boundless Sword Sect from top to bottom boiled like the sea.
Disciples from each peak all rushed to the central group peaks.
Those with poorer conditions rode various colored Sword Lights across the high sky, while great peak disciples collectively rode various Exotic Treasures to arrive in full.
In the center of Boundless Sword Sect’s central group peaks, a Plaza was incomparably vast. Most of the Sect’s people had already gathered here.
Tiered Immortal platforms rose along the Plaza’s edges, with more Immortal Platforms arrayed like Ascension platforms, ascending level by level into the Void.
The central high air main seat was naturally Sect Leader Jiang Baichuan.
Below him on both sides, one side sat Vice Sect Master Cang Wanhe, the other side sat Grand Elder Ziyang and Ye Qingtian and others.
Then below them were the Top Ten True Disciples.
In the past, the Top Ten True Disciples sat atop the Ten Thrones floating in the sky, first was Ye Chen, second Jiang Qingxue, ranked downward.
As for True Disciples outside the Top Ten True Disciples, sorry, they had no qualification to sit on Immortal Platforms, only able to sit on the Immortal steps at the Plaza’s edges.
By rights, Ning Qi should also sit in this row.
However, the Ninth True Disciple, that is Wang Ye, had voluntarily yielded his seat, preferring to sit on the steps himself rather than let Ning Qi sit below.
Ning Qi originally didn’t care about these things, but since Wang Ye insisted, he went along with it.
Anyway, they wouldn’t stay in their current positions much longer!
When the time arrived, Vice Sect Master Cang Wanhe stood directly and said loudly:
“In recent years, talents have abounded under our Boundless Sword Sect, progressing swiftly. Today we specially reopen True Disciple ranking.”
“First True Disciple: reward of ten Void Dao Purple Gold Pills, one Low-grade Spirit Treasure, self-select Void Dao Cultivation Method.”
“Second True Disciple: reward of five Void Dao Purple Gold Pills, one High-grade Magic Treasure, self-select Void Dao Cultivation Method.”
“Third True Disciple: reward of one Void Dao Purple Gold Pill, one High-grade Magic Treasure, self-select Void Dao Cultivation Method.”
“Fourth and Fifth True Disciples…”
Cang Wanhe didn’t waste words, directly giving the rewards for the reranked True Disciple positions.
The rewards for the top three were enviable to the many disciples, completely at the level of treatment for advancing to Void Dao Realm.
Void Dao Purple Gold Pills took ten years to refine a batch, normally supplied to Void Dao Realm Experts for consumption, increasing Cultivation, comprehending Power of Rules.
Spirit Treasures were even rarer. Among current True Disciples, probably only Ning Qi, Jiang Qingxue, and Ye Chen possessed them.
“Additionally, the new Top Ten True Disciples will represent Boundless Sword Sect to go to Profound True Secret Realm. The Opportunity within, you all know, I won’t say more.”
After Cang Wanhe finished, he looked toward the main seat Sect Leader Jiang Baichuan.
Jiang Baichuan nodded and directly said:
“The True Disciple ranking battle officially begins!”
With one sentence, the Plaza below completely boiled over.
Not to mention the rewards, just the temptation of entering Profound True Secret Realm was enough to make all the listed True Disciples’ eyes redden with excitement.
The many disciples immediately swept their gazes toward He Tian sitting on the tenth Throne.
He Tian sat steadily above, facing the congregation’s fiery gazes, fearless.
But his heart was not so calm. One year ago, Five Elements Peak’s Qin Minghao defeated the Ninth True Disciple Wang Ye, and he had then felt a Sense of Crisis. In this True Disciple ranking, the most likely to be eliminated was him at the end!
So in this year, he never rested, always diligently cultivating to cope with today’s crisis.
On the Plaza, figures vied to fly out first, landing on the Plaza. Without exception, all challengers were targeting him, He Tian!
He Tian could only do his utmost, displaying the vast Mana worthy of a Top Ten True Disciple, hoping to deter more people.
Fortunately, his bitter cultivation this year had not been in vain. After more than a dozen battles in a row, He Tian still stood proudly on the Plaza, without the slightest sign of defeat!
But then a figure stepping through the air made his eyelids jump—it was actually Qin Minghao!
Qin Minghao glanced at the somewhat stunned He Tian and smiled faintly, then shifted his gaze to fall on the Eighth True Disciple Luo Zhan, pointing his sword horizontally!
“Senior Brother Luo, I hope to battle you!”
He Tian sat back on the Throne, a slight sweat on his forehead.
His emotions were extremely complex: dissatisfied that Qin Minghao had ignored him, yet relieved that Qin Minghao had not chosen to battle him.
With this complex mood, He Tian swept a glance at the Plaza steps. Countless gazes were still scanning him, clearly those guys had not given up.
His emotions tightened. Even the True Disciples below had not given up; he couldn’t miss this chance either!
Luo Zhan stepped out, already appearing opposite Qin Minghao.
Behind him, one sword flew out, hovering up.
This sword gleamed entirely with black light, the blade exceptionally long and without edges, only the Sword Tip.
Like a spear or gun, unknown from which famous sword forging master.
Luo Zhan this year had a mood similar to He Tian’s. With Qin Minghao’s rise and the Immortal Seed Ning Qi’s sudden emergence, he too had a strong Sense of Crisis.
“Come on!”
With words finished, Luo Zhan struck first.
Reaching out to grasp the Spear Sword, instantly countless Sword Shadows thrust out. Each Sword Shadow looked like an Entity, making it hard to distinguish real from fake.
And he himself seemed already fused into the Sword Shadows, impossible to find traces.
Qin Minghao’s Reaction was not slow. The moment Luo Zhan acted, the sword in his hand was also unsheathed.
Black and white Sword Qi crisscrossed, forming a huge cross Sword Qi that slashed toward the sky full of black Sword Shadows.
The two struck, immediately drawing admiring glances from the Plaza congregation.
“Worthily Top Ten True Disciples. One strike and we know we couldn’t block it!”
“We already knew Luo Zhan’s Strength, Qin Minghao is the most shocking. Clearly he was once one of us, but now he’s actually fighting evenly with the Eighth True Disciple.”
In the field, the two’s Sword Shadows collided, instantly stirring up towering Spiritual Energy waves.
Among them were also collisions of Primordial Spirit Power, and each’s understanding of their Cultivation Method paths.
Qin Minghao’s black and white Sword Qi crisscrossed, forcibly cleaving a matching cross gap in Luo Zhan’s sky full of Sword Shadows, piercing through with remaining power.
While Luo Zhan’s sky full of Sword Shadows suddenly retracted, actually condensing into a huge Sword Shadow carrying incomparably solid Primordial Spirit Mana, thrusting or colliding toward Qin Minghao.
Qin Minghao’s eyes narrowed slightly. Having followed Senior Brother Ning for so many years, he had already seen through Luo Zhan’s changes.
The seemingly unified Sword Shadow coming at him had peerless power, seemingly turning thousands into one, with room to dodge.
But Qin Minghao understood he had nowhere to avoid!
Because Luo Zhan’s Sword Shadows had already reached the level of retractable at will. If he dodged, he would inevitably be hit by the huge Sword Shadow turning back into ten thousand, sealing all directions in a Sword in a Jar!
Qin Minghao slashed down with one sword, like a knife splitting rotten wood!
The Sword Qi interwoven from black and white Qi actually emitted a hazy glow, like at morning or dusk.
The Plaza seemed to fall into momentary darkness.
When the congregation saw clearly, Qin Minghao’s sword was already horizontal before Luo Zhan’s neck.
“Pa da!”
Luo Zhan’s Spear Sword dropped to the Plaza at this moment.
Luo Zhan’s face paled, and he frankly said: “I lost!”
Simple three words, yet like a Boulder thrown into a lake, once again making the Plaza congregation discuss fervently.
Some incredulous, some shocked, some envious and jealous…
The surprise Qin Minghao brought to the congregation was too much. Was this the growth after following the Immortal Seed?
Last year defeating the Ninth True Disciple Wang Ye, this year defeating the Eighth True Disciple Luo Zhan. Continuing like this, wouldn’t it be…
Even the Great Powers on the high platform all turned to look one by one. They suddenly felt Ning Qi shouldn’t be a True Disciple but should be the Sect’s Preaching the Dao teacher.
If everyone could receive Ning Qi’s guidance, then all the lower True Disciples like Qin Minghao, wouldn’t they all reach Top Ten True Disciple Strength?
Only Ye Chen couldn’t stay calm at all, his face black like smeared with pot ash.
No matter what others thought, Qin Minghao showed no trace of pride, displaying Five Elements Peak’s good demeanor. He then sat on Luo Zhan’s eighth Throne.
Luo Zhan retracted his Spear Sword and stood at one side of the Plaza edge.
His gaze quickly swept over He Tian and Wang Ye, everything self-evident.
He Tian’s expression changed, but he didn’t say anything.
Instead, Wang Ye stepped through the air, landing on the Plaza.
Luo Zhan was silent and didn’t strike immediately, because he saw Wang Ye’s gaze directly targeting the Sixth True Disciple Mo Zang!
Mo Zang narrowed his eyes, his whole person like a startled Fierce Beast, Teleporting to the Plaza.
“Very good, you actually chose me!”
“Senior Brother Mo, please instruct me!”
Mo Zang, as the Sixth True Disciple, was also an anomaly in Boundless Sword Sect.
This person always gave a dangerous feeling, his eyes always revealing ferocity, making people feel he wasn’t human but a Fierce Beast Reincarnation.
A surging Primordial Spirit Power and Spiritual Energy released without restraint, faintly showing blood-red color, even carrying a compelling bloody stench.
Immediately, Primordial Spirit Power and Spiritual Energy covered his body. Mo Zang’s body inflated like a balloon.
At the same time, several peculiar swords emerged one by one: some like nails, some like fangs, some like claws, some like sharp blades.
Seeing this, those unfamiliar with Mo Zang couldn’t help sucking in cold air.
Was this really a disciple of their Boundless Sword Sect? Where was the shadow of Sword Dao? Only Boundless ferocity remained?
Before they could be surprised, those bizarre swords attached to Mo Zang’s body like armor, as if they originally belonged to him.
Mo Zang instantly became like an upright Beast King, his whole body emanating Sharpness.
Horns grew from his head, mouth full of fangs, elbows sharp as blades, hands and feet turned into claws.
Wang Ye’s body also expanded toward the sky following Mo Zang.
For a moment, the Plaza actually had two anomalies.
On the left, the beastified Mo Zang; on the right, the hundred-zhang Giant with three heads and six arms.
Although Mo Zang’s Aura was exceptionally ferocious, his height was only about ten zhang.
Of course, height didn’t represent everything!
Mo Zang leaped up, blood-colored mist suddenly arising between his four claws, unclear if he was controlling Qi or swords.
His whole person like a great Tiger Demon, riding the clouds to pounce, biting toward Wang Ye’s thick leg.
However, what responded to his pounce was a muffled impact tremor.
“Clang!”
Mo Zang was repelled back, landing on the Plaza, shaking his head.
Incredulity showed in his ferocious eyes. When did Wang Ye this guy have such strong defense?
Wasn’t Wang Ye always extremely confident in close combat relying on his Body Refining?
What was in one of his giant hands?
Emitting a clear greenish light, upon close look, it was actually a turtle shell.
Wang Ye actually used a turtle shell as a shield, positioned at the spot Mo Zang was attacking.
Besides that, on the turtle shell also burst a hexagonal defensive Barrier formed by Primordial Spirit Power mixed with vast Spiritual Energy, blocking before Wang Ye’s hundred-zhang body.
Mo Zang’s mind blanked for a moment. He cautiously paced on the Plaza like a beast hunting for the right angle.
But Wang Ye didn’t give him much time. In his six giant hands appeared, unknown when, a shiny silver whip.
In an instant, whip shadows filled the sky, actually like a club smashing straight down, stirring clouds, leaving a white trail!
Mo Zang suddenly opened his giant mouth, a terrifying roar resounding through the field, shaking the firmament.
Blood-colored Qi waves surged against the sky, showing his fury, accompanied by his mouth full of fangs.
Each fang arrayed like soldiers, with the Qi waves forming another beast-biting momentum, determined to gnaw through Wang Ye’s whip shadow.
“Clang!”
Then, the obstructing turtle shell perfectly blocked Mo Zang’s strike, leaving him deflated.
He could only ride his four claws’ blood-colored mist to dodge in panic the smashing whip shadow.
However, that whip shadow seemed intentional, changing form upon falling, twisting and turning, landing beside him.
Worse, the whip shadow instantly bristled like fur, turning into thousands of threads climbing his body, instantly binding him like a rice dumpling, dropping to the ground.
By now in the battle, Mo Zang felt like a wild beast fallen into a hunter’s trap—everything in Wang Ye’s control.
He urged his whole body’s peculiar Sword Shadows to break the cage and escape.
But a strange fragrance drilled into his nose. Mo Zang instantly felt his body soften, his internal Spiritual Energy and Primordial Spirit Power seeming to slacken.
He finally poked his head out from the bindings, only to see the hundred-zhang Giant bending down to look, three huge heads staring fixedly at him.
The head facing him had its giant mouth slightly open, wisps of Dao Fire Seeds urged by Primordial Spirit Spiritual Energy faintly visible inside.
“I concede!”
Only then did Wang Ye release him from the cage.
Mo Zang panted roughly, somewhat fearfully staring at Wang Ye, then glanced at the white-clothed Ning Qi sitting in Wang Ye’s position.
In just one year, Wang Ye had grown so fast, worlds apart from before. No need to ask, it was that Immortal Seed’s merit!
Wang Ye retracted his Three Heads Six Arms Fiend Body, returning to normal.
This battle made him even more convinced that Senior Brother Ning’s guidance was absolutely correct.
In this battle, he had defeated the Sixth True Disciple Mo Zang effortlessly, truly beyond his expectations.
The improved Three Heads Six Arms Fiend Body by Senior Brother Ning was so terrifying!
For a moment, the Plaza congregation was stirred to excitement.
Some shocked to nearly drop their jaws, but uniformly, everyone’s eyes shone like two lanterns, sweeping back and forth between Wang Ye and Ning Qi.
One year!
Merely one year following Immortal Seed Ning Qi, such qualitative change—who wouldn’t be tempted?
Unfortunately, Five Elements Peak was now extremely strict in accepting followers. Wanting to join now would be extremely difficult.
But difficult was better than no opportunity!
High in the air, Ye Chen nearly bit off his tongue, fists clenched tight, eyes spewing Spiritual Energy flames.
That guy Wang Ye had really turned over a new leaf!
Before more thoughts, suddenly the Plaza erupted in cries of alarm.
A figure like Immortal clouds Ascending, soared into the sky, becoming the only blazing sun in the air.
Ning Qi overlooked Ye Chen sitting on the First True Disciple Throne and said flatly:
“Get out of the way.”
