Chapter 264: Rule Jade
“Is the First True Disciple of the Northern Profound Upper Sect only capable of barking like a wild dog?”
Ning Qi calmly responded to Fang Lieqi’s arrogance.
He descended from the sky, like a white cloud landing on the ground.
Upon hearing this, Fang Lieqi became enraged.
Liu Quan, the disciple beside him who had alerted him to Ning Qi’s arrival, immediately stepped forward and shouted:
“It’s already showing you considerable respect to tell you to leave, to avoid being beaten like a dog and begging for mercy by the people of our Northern Profound Upper Sect. Since you refuse to leave, you’ll have to leave your life here!”
As soon as he finished speaking, two wings instantly sprouted from behind Liu Quan.
The grey wings unfurled, and Liu Quan seemed to transform into an immortal sparrow. Two Mid-grade Spirit Treasures flew out and attached themselves to his feet, resembling sharp claws that shimmered with sharpness.
Then, he vigorously flapped his grey wings, instantly transforming into a streak of light and attacking Ning Qi.
Liu Quan intended to regain face for his own First True Disciple, and he held nothing back, aiming to tear Ning Qi apart from the start.
He wanted to bathe in Ning Qi’s blood and win Fang Lieqi’s favor.
Liu Quan retracted his wings, his feet danced, creating a tornado, and the claw-shaped Spirit Treasures on his feet seemed to tear through the void.
If his feet were to land on mountain stone, even a tall mountain would be pierced!
However, before the fierce assault could approach Ning Qi, a circle of Five-Colored Divine Light spontaneously appeared on Ning Qi’s body.
Wherever the divine light shone, all methods were ineffective!
Liu Quan was like he had collided with the legendary Mount Buzhou. His tornado and sharp claws had no effect whatsoever; instead, they were repelled by the divine light and flew back even faster than they had arrived.
Swish!
Liu Quan’s neck was twisted to the side at this moment, clearly having been temporarily knocked unconscious. The direction he flew was precisely where Fang Lieqi was located.
A flicker of surprise flashed across Fang Lieqi’s face. Liu Quan’s strength ranked seventh among their Northern Profound Upper Sect’s Top Ten True Disciples, and even he couldn’t have repelled and knocked him unconscious as effortlessly as Ning Qi.
Fang Lieqi immediately used his Mana to form a large hand and grabbed the flying Liu Quan.
However, the force transmitted from him made even Fang Lieqi’s entire body tremble!
Fang Lieqi’s outward expression remained unchanged, but a hint of shock welled up in his heart, followed closely by intense jealousy and unwillingness.
The True Disciples of their Northern Profound Upper Sect generation were often reprimanded by the sect elders for not working hard enough, and for not being able to catch up to the True Disciples of the Ox Demon Upper Sect and Heavenly Star Upper Sect.
And now, Fang Lieqi even discovered that the True Disciple of an Upper Sect from the Northern Xuan Region, which was not the strongest, seemed to have surpassed them.
“Damn it, the Northern Xuan Region is weak. Apart from Chu Xiaotian, it’s impossible for such a fierce fellow to appear. He must be using a Spiritual Treasure!”
“Yes, he must have an Incomplete Mid-grade Spiritual Treasure on him!”
Fang Lieqi’s thoughts raced. Fueled by his inner jealousy, he became fixated on this idea, and the more he thought about it, the more convinced he became.
“Seeing that there are seven of us from our Northern Profound Upper Sect here, he’s afraid we’ll capture him, so he deliberately and quietly used his Spiritual Treasure, pretending to be unfazed to lull us into a false sense of security. It must be like this!”
Fang Lieqi stopped Liu Quan’s momentum and woke him up.
Liu Quan instantly regained consciousness, a hint of shame appearing on his face, which quickly vanished.
Fang Lieqi didn’t blame him but turned his head and instructed the remaining five True Disciples:
“Everyone, let the tomb-guarding Demon Rhinoceros go for now. Let’s take down Ning Qi together. He has an Incomplete Mid-grade Spiritual Treasure!”
Upon hearing Fang Lieqi’s words, the congregation immediately stopped attacking the Demon Rhinoceros and gathered around Fang Lieqi, facing Ning Qi directly.
Although the Demon Rhinoceros lacked spiritual intelligence, it didn’t pursue them and retreated to the entrance of the Great Power’s tomb.
The seven True Disciples of the Northern Profound Upper Sect immediately spread out, with Ning Qi at the center.
“Senior Brother Fang, does he really have an Incomplete Mid-grade Spiritual Treasure on him?” someone asked.
“Of course, otherwise how could I have been repelled so easily!”
Before Fang Lieqi could speak, Liu Quan spoke first, trying to save some face for himself.
The others, upon hearing this, had their eyes gleam, staring at Ning Qi as if he were another Great Power’s tomb.
After all, among the disciples of their Northern Profound Upper Sect, they only possessed one Low-grade Spirit Treasure and one Incomplete Mid-grade Spirit Treasure.
And that Great Power’s tomb, under the bronze light, might only have one Incomplete Mid-grade Spirit Treasure.
Therefore, Ning Qi, who was alone at this moment, was no different in value than the Great Power’s tomb.
Moreover, because Ning Qi was alone, and they had seven people, everyone had ulterior motives.
What’s more, once inside the Profound True Secret Realm, they couldn’t transmit messages to each other, nor could they send messages outside. If Ning Qi died, he died.
If they captured him now, not only could they obtain an Incomplete Mid-grade Spirit Treasure, but they could also eliminate a competitor. Why not?
Thus, the seven disciples of the Northern Profound Upper Sect spoke one after another.
“Kid, hand over the Spiritual Treasure obediently, and then help us kill that Demon Rhinoceros to clear the dangers of the Great Power’s tomb. Perhaps we’ll spare your life.”
“Yes, you should have heard of the principle of ‘possessing a treasure invites trouble.’ Since you are alone and carelessly revealed your wealth, you can’t blame us.”
The seven exchanged glances and couldn’t help but laugh.
They knew what they were laughing about, and Ning Qi also knew what they were laughing about.
“It’s just that you’re not a True Disciple of an Upper Sect like us, and you’re from the Northern Xuan Region. So, accept your fate.”
Fang Lieqi suddenly shouted sternly, “Everyone, stop wasting words with him. Attack with all your might to prevent any unforeseen changes and avoid attracting others.”
The congregation dispersed, surrounding Ning Qi in the center.
In front of them, various Magic Treasures were released, and their entire bodies’ Spiritual Energy and Nascent Soul Power surged like flames.
The Northern Profound Upper Sect was one of the top three sects in the Southern True Domain, and the spells they practiced and the Spirit Treasures they used were also related to the word “Feathered.”
Liu Quan’s earlier transformation into an immortal sparrow was just the most common type.
Five of them unleashed similar attacks, each displaying different anomalies, and directed them at Ning Qi.
However, there were differences among the seven. The sixth person suddenly soared upwards.
The Spiritual Energy enveloping his body intertwined, weaving into a golden feathered robe. The entire person resembled a roc, looking down upon the surroundings.
Before him, there was a Golden Low-grade Spiritual Sword, which he gripped in his hand and shouted, “Golden Roc Spiritual Sword!”
With a single sword strike, the feathered robe on his body detached and merged into the Spiritual Sword. Instantly, golden rocs let out earth-shattering cries, their wings spread, continuously shooting towards Ning Qi in the center.
As for Fang Lieqi, the First True Disciple, he was even more exceptional.
The word “Feathered” was no longer just a mere character; a white cloud supported his body, and a rainbow light appeared behind his physical form.
The rainbow light illuminated, and a shadowy image seemed to trail from the surface of his body, reaching a full ten zhang in height.
The face of the shadowy image was unclear, but it gave off a dreamlike feeling of an immortal descending.
“Feathered ascension to immortality, destroy the enemy before you!”
An Incomplete Mid-grade Spirit Treasure Fly Whisk was held in the shadowy image’s hand, and it ferociously swept down towards Ning Qi below.
As the fly whisk’s filaments swept out, each one unfurled, forming a spiderweb-like pattern amplified by Spiritual Energy and Nascent Soul Power, as if an immortal sword was slashing down, covering Ning Qi’s surroundings in all directions.
Seven attacks came from seven directions.
The disciples of the Northern Profound Upper Sect looked at Ning Qi in the center, believing he had been scared stupid by their combined attacks, remaining motionless in place.
“Is this the Immortal Seed of the Northern Xuan Region? Truly an overstatement!”
Unexpectedly, the Five-Colored Divine Light that Ning Qi had retracted reappeared. It only extended a zhang in range, yet it easily blocked all seven of their attacks.
Whether it was the various colored anomalies, the Golden Roc illusory image, or the sweeping thousand-sword fly whisk filaments, all were blocked by the Five-Colored Divine Light.
“How is this possible!”
The same look of shock appeared on everyone’s faces.
“Senior Brother Fang, does Ning Qi possess an Incomplete Mid-grade Spirit Treasure specifically for defense?”
Someone asked incredulously.
It wasn’t that they were surprised; in their opinion, their combined attack of seven people, even against Niu Man of the Ox Demon Upper Sect or Ren Zong of the Heavenly Star Upper Sect with the Star Spiritual Body, could not achieve what Ning Qi was doing now.
“Perhaps more than that, could it be a complete Mid-grade Spirit Treasure?”
No one could tell them exactly what was happening; they could only perceive Ning Qi based on their existing knowledge.
It was known that ten years ago, Ning Qi had blocked Ye Chen’s Chaos Thunder Cloud with his Five-Colored Divine Light, and even used the Azure Dragon attack after activating the Incomplete Mid-grade Spirit Treasure Wind Dragon Scale Armor.
Ten years later, what was it to block them now?
“Are you done talking?” Ning Qi, at the center, rose into the air and said calmly.
His expression remained placid, his body unstained by the mundane world. His white robes seemed to always be enveloped by a wisp of immortal Qi.
Fang Lieqi’s Adam’s apple bobbed, and he said:
“Everyone, continue attacking. Let’s see how long he can hold on. If it’s truly a complete Mid-grade Spirit Treasure, with his current Mana, he won’t be able to withstand our full-force attacks many times!”
The other six nodded upon hearing this.
Everyone launched their attacks again. For a time, various colored lights intermingled, like waves crashing, and the void around Ning Qi seemed to shatter under the assault.
Unfortunately, Ning Qi remained like a steadfast divine needle, standing proudly in the void, impervious to all attacks.
Suddenly, two wings sprouted from Ning Qi’s back, soaring upwards like clouds that obscured the sky.
Even Fang Lieqi’s ten-zhang illusory image seemed small in front of Ning Qi’s released two-colored wings.
One person’s teeth chattered, “How does he know our Northern Profound Upper Sect’s methods?”
This was because Ning Qi’s Wind Wings Thunder Feathers had one wing with green as bone, emitting a wind aura, and purple as feathers, giving birth to thunder; the other wing was the opposite, with thunder as bone and green wind as feathers.
This form caused the disciples of the Northern Profound Upper Sect to misidentify it.
However, no one answered him. Regardless of whether it was their technique or not, the magical power fluctuations emanating from the two-colored wings, which resembled clouds obscuring the sky, silenced everyone.
They didn’t even have time to continue their attacks. Ning Qi’s wings simply flapped once.
Everyone surrounding him was hit by the sky-obscuring clouds and then rapidly fell towards the ground.
Rumble!
A series of sounds of the ground cracking echoed throughout the area.
Ning Qi retracted his Mana and calmly landed in a spot.
It was no different from swatting away mosquitoes to eliminate these people, but one person at that spot was surprisingly still alive.
Ning Qi landed before the deep pit that had been smashed into the ground.
After a while, a person in tattered clothes, covered in blood, crawled out.
This person’s hair was disheveled, and their entire body was covered in dirt; it was Fang Lieqi.
When he crawled out and saw Ning Qi, his entire body trembled.
He turned his neck with difficulty, looking at the places where the others had fallen, and there was no longer any movement!
Fang Lieqi knew that all of them had been annihilated by Ning Qi in one move.
Fang Lieqi’s expression twitched, and various emotions flashed across his face. He spat out a mouthful of blood and then said to Ning Qi:
“You’re finished. You killed so many disciples of our Northern Profound Upper Sect, and our Northern Profound Upper Sect will pursue you to the ends of the earth and never let you go!”
There was deep hatred in his eyes, completely forgetting that they were the ones who had attacked first, intending to kill Ning Qi and seize his treasure.
“Is that all?” Ning Qi looked down at Fang Lieqi, as if watching an ant threaten a giant elephant.
“Don’t think you’re in the clear just because you killed me. I practice the Feathered Return to Truth Marvelous Canon of the Northern Profound Upper Sect. Even if I die here, I can be reborn in the outside world!”
There was no fluctuation on Ning Qi’s face; he simply watched calmly.
If they possessed such a marvelous canon, the Northern Profound Upper Sect would likely have become an Immortal Sect long ago, unifying the Southern True Domain and the Northern Xuan Region.
Fang Lieqi’s face instantly turned pale. His body, which had managed to stand up, suddenly collapsed with a “thud” to its knees.
“Don’t… don’t kill me! I’ll give you everything I have. I’ll tell you all the secrets of the Northern Profound Upper Sect, I…”
However, a Five-Colored Giant Hand split from Ning Qi’s body and directly smote Fang Lieqi a hundred meters into the ground, instantly killing him!
Ning Qi looked at the Great Power’s tomb, which resembled a pyramid not far away, and then suddenly swept his gaze to three hundred zhang behind.
As his gaze fell upon that spot, two beams of light instantly ascended and fled in different directions.
Ning Qi summoned the Purple Green Twin Swords. The two swords shattered the void, instantly catching up to the two, piercing their bodies, and bringing them back.
Judging by the clothing on the two, they were disciples of the Northern Profound Upper Sect.
They had hidden three hundred zhang away and had witnessed the entire battle clearly.
Ning Qi naturally wouldn’t let them go, as he needed to maintain a low profile for now to prevent information from leaking.
If the Northern Profound Upper Sect knew that their disciples had been annihilated by him, it would be another sect’s trouble.
As for Fang Lieqi’s claim that the Feathered Return to Truth Marvelous Canon could allow rebirth outside, Ning Qi did not believe that someone in the Nascent Soul Realm could achieve it.
……
Ningyu City.
After the Profound True Secret Realm opened, all the Great Powers of the sects remained on the plaza before the secret realm.
At the moment Fang Lieqi and the others perished, Fang Yu, a Great Power of the Northern Profound Upper Sect, suddenly changed expression!
A glazed divine lamp appeared out of thin air in his hand, and of the ten Life Fires within the lamp, seven were extinguished consecutively!
Seeing the situation within the glazed lamp, Fang Yu’s expression turned furious, and boundless killing intent surged around him, as if to tear apart the sky.
What exactly happened in the Profound True Secret Realm that caused almost all the disciples of their Northern Profound Upper Sect to be annihilated?
The other Great Powers around, seeing Fang Yu’s drastic change, couldn’t help but become curious.
Luo He, a Great Power from the Heavenly Star Upper Sect, glanced at Fang Yu and said playfully:
“Fang Yu, it seems your Northern Profound Upper Sect has had an unfavorable start this time!”
Fang Yu glared at Luo He resentfully. Their Northern Profound Upper Sect already had numerous conflicts with the Heavenly Star Upper Sect, and they usually met with mutual attacks.
Now that his disciples had died, he could no longer restrain himself and unleashed a palm strike.
Luo He was prepared and waved his sleeve, dissolving all his attacks into nothingness, and said:
“Fang Yu, have you forgotten where we are? Don’t forget the city rules jointly formulated by all the sects of our northern and southern regions. Try to make a move again!”
At this moment, all the Great Powers looked towards Fang Yu.
When he had taken out the glazed Life Fire Lamp, everyone naturally understood what had happened, but they were unsure how many people from the Northern Profound Upper Sect had perished.
Moreover, Fang Yu’s earlier impulsive palm strike was too fast, so no one bothered to argue with him. However, if he were to make another move now, it would be against everyone’s wishes.
The many sects were already in a competitive relationship, and if there was an excuse, they wouldn’t mind joining forces to target a specific sect.
Fang Yu looked at the bright eyes of the Great Powers around him, then heavily lowered his raised hand, his old teeth almost shattering!
He said resentfully, “Very good! If I find out who attacked our True Disciples, I will spare no expense, even if it means starting a sect war!”
Although this generation of disciples was mediocre, lacking any prodigies, and could not compare to the inheritors of the Ox Demon Upper Sect and Heavenly Star Upper Sect.
However, those ten disciples were the most powerful among the current generation of disciples of their Northern Profound Upper Sect.
To have so many wiped out at once was equivalent to the sect’s seeds being destroyed, which directly shook the future of their Northern Profound Upper Sect!
Not far away, Wang Zhanqiu, a Great Power from the Northern Profound Upper Sect, seemed to speak in comfort:
“Elder Fang Yu, there’s no need to get so angry. Perhaps they haven’t perished but have entered some special region!”
However, concerning the Profound True Secret Realm, who among these Great Powers present doesn’t understand the situation? Where could such a place exist?
Wang Zhanqiu’s seemingly comforting words were nothing more than rubbing salt in the wound.
Fang Yu’s old eyes turned red with anger, crisscrossed with bloodshot veins.
He said again, “Very good, you dare touch the reverse scale of my Feathered Ascension Upper Sect, Northern Profound Upper Sect?”
Who knew Wang Zhanqiu would sneer and say:
“Fang Yu, watch your words before you have evidence. Others might fear your Feathered Ascension Upper Sect, but we Northern Profound Upper Sect are not afraid!”
Who knew that as soon as his words fell.
Suddenly, Wang Zhanqiu’s expression also changed.
He took out a soul lamp, different in style from Fang Yu’s, and two life fires within it had been extinguished!
Fang Yu saw clearly.
Their sect’s disciples were just wiped out, and two disciples of the Northern Profound Upper Sect also perished. Could it be that…
Wang Zhanqiu had not yet recovered his senses when he heard Fang Yu’s cold snort.
“Very good, now we’ve finally confirmed who attacked the disciples of my Feathered Ascension Upper Sect!”
Wang Zhanqiu heard this and also became enraged.
However, he still had reason. Only two true disciples of the Northern Profound Upper Sect had died, which was much better than the Feathered Ascension Upper Sect.
Even if their Northern Profound Upper Sect’s and Feathered Ascension Upper Sect’s true disciples really fought, he would absolutely not admit it at this moment!
Although they weren’t afraid of the Feathered Ascension Upper Sect, since they had gained an advantage, they had to minimize the danger.
Then, Wang Zhanqiu, his face ashen, shouted:
“Fang Yu, I understand how you feel, but the death times of the two sects’ true disciples clearly don’t match. Don’t even think about blaming us!”
Who knew Fang Yu didn’t believe him at all.
170 “The methods of our Feathered Ascension Upper Sect inherently emphasize subsequent explosive power. If your disciples are struck by them, it should be about the right time.”
Moreover, if it weren’t for the Upper Sects that had heavenly prodigies, how could other Sects have had the strength to simultaneously wipe out so many people from our Feathered Ascension Upper Sect?
Wang Zhanqiu was stumped, “You…”
Fang Yu shot him an indignant glance, then looked at the others.
He wanted to see how many Great Powers were targeting their Feathered Ascension Upper Sect.
Although it might not be accurate, they would all be listed as suspects. However, the Northern Profound Upper Sect is definitely in the first tier!
176 His gaze fell on Ma Long, the leader and Great Power of the Ox Demon Upper Sect.
The Ox Demon Upper Sect is entirely demonic beasts; this Great Power is naturally one as well.
He was a horse demon, with a knife scar slanting across his horse face, splitting into the bone and adding a hint of ferocity.
However, at this moment, Ma Long sat cross-legged on the plaza, cultivating silently with his eyes closed, completely ignoring everything happening in the plaza.
Then Fang Yu’s gaze fell on the people from the Boundless Sword Sect again.
True Person Ziyang and Jiang Ruhai’s expressions were natural; they never imagined that a True Disciple from their own Sect might have done it.
However, seeing the possibility of a conflict between the Northern Profound Upper Sect and the Feathered Ascension Upper Sect, the two elders felt a surge of secret delight in their hearts!
Fang Yu scanned the faces of the Great Powers from other sects.
Other sects remained silent.
Compared to the Feathered Ascension Upper Sect, who would dare provoke them, aside from the few Upper Sects that also had Body Integration Realm Giants stationed there?
Seeing Fang Yu’s great anger, various emotions surged in their hearts for a moment.
The Profound True Secret Realm is so dangerous, with even a True Disciple from an Upper Sect like the Feathered Ascension Upper Sect dying not long after entering, wouldn’t their disciples be even more at risk?
Of course, one should always look on the bright side.
Some people also thought that the people from the Feathered Ascension Upper Sect had very bad luck.
Thus, these Great Powers would worry about the people in their own Sects on the one hand, and secretly rejoice on the other.
The future of the Feathered Ascension Upper Sect seems to be obstructed. It would be best if they fought to the death with the Northern Profound Upper Sect!
……
After Ning Qi dealt with seven true disciples from the Feathered Ascension Upper Sect and two true disciples from the Northern Profound Upper Sect, he collected their relics.
Among them, one low-grade Spirit Treasure, the Golden Roc Sword, and one incomplete Mid-grade Spirit Treasure, was precisely the Fly Whisk in Fang Lieqi’s hand.
Besides this, there were also seven more top-grade magic treasures, and quite a few heavenly materials, earthly treasures, and pills. Ning Qi paid them no mind and collected them into his bag.
He took a step and arrived before the great power’s tomb, which was still emitting a bronze glow.
The Demon Rhinoceros, whose defense was astonishing and whose two horns and four hooves on its forehead emitted earthy energy, immediately snorted white mist from its nose and mouth, charging like a mountain.
Ning Qi merely extended a fair palm, as if raising an insurmountable wall in front.
Boom!
Smoke and dust filled the sky. A gust of wind blew past, revealing the scene within.
Only to see the Demon Rhinoceros being smashed into a large meat patty, lying on its side.
Ning Qi ignored it and walked closer to the front of the pyramid tomb.
One of the stone gates sealed the entrance to the tomb below.
Ning Qi pushed open the stone door, a rumbling sound echoed, and then he entered the tomb.
This tomb was as large as a city to begin with, with intersecting paths inside, seemingly having different functional areas.
If others were to enter, they would tread with extreme caution at every step, but Ning Qi paid no mind to this level of tomb.
Five-Colored Divine Light surged from his body, illuminating the scenery along the way.
The formations, mechanisms, fierce beasts, and other dangers that others needed to cautiously deal with were all either broken, blocked, or extinguished by the Five-Colored Divine Light.
In the end, Ning Qi walked to the depths of the tomb mound, where a pile of white bones sat cross-legged on the ground.
Before him lay two Low-grade Spiritual Treasures, one a Demon Subduing Pestle, the other a Dao Bell.
Ning Qi put it away and looked towards the top of the white bone.
Above the white bones, in the void, a tetrahedron-shaped Rule Jade flickered with flowing light. Although it was only the size of a fist, it seemed to be the core of this tomb world.
Ning Qi showcased his Nascent Soul’s great hand and grabbed it with one palm strike.
With his current strength, it took him quite some effort to take it down.
When Ning Qi got it back into his hands, this Great Power’s tomb instantly turned into flying ash, as if it had never existed.
Ning Qi’s eyes flashed with a strange color.
It seems that in the great tombs of the Profound True Secret Realm, the Rule Jade is their energy core. As long as it is taken by someone, the corresponding tomb will vanish into thin air.
Ning Qi brought the first Rule Jade he obtained to his eyes and observed it closely.
Only the tetrahedron formed by this Rule Jade was seen, with each side having a different color.
Ning Qi looked at them one by one, their colors being brown, blue, red, and green, corresponding to the rules of earth, water, fire, and wind respectively.
Clutched in his palm, Ning Qi felt as if he were holding a small world!
This strange feeling immediately piqued Ning Qi’s interest. He couldn’t help but inject his spiritual power and primordial spirit power into it. The Rule Jade immediately emitted a more dazzling radiance, illuminating a distance of ten zhang around Ning Qi.
Ning Qi felt as if his entire being had fallen into an ocean of rules, shining in four colors. At this moment, he comprehended the rules of earth, water, fire, and wind with unparalleled clarity, directly pointing to their origins.
Ning Qi was immediately delighted; this Rule Jade was truly magical.
It can be called the substantive form of the Rule Origin, extremely suitable for his Main Body’s promotion in the True Martial Realm.
If not used for comprehending rules, it could directly integrate into a world, supplementing the missing rules for worlds without any existence of rules.
Of course, the Rule Jade in Ning Qi’s hand is only the size of a fist. Even if it is integrated into the world, it cannot create rules out of thin air.
At most, it could only be considered a drop of ink in the ocean. You say it exists? It indeed does!
What impact do you think you’ve had on the world? It’s practically negligible!
However, even so, Ning Qi looked at the Profound True Secret Realm, and his eyes flickered with heat. This place was simply his treasure land!
As long as enough Rule Jade is collected, not to mention directly adding world rules to the True Martial Realm, even if it’s used to deduce with his heaven-defying comprehension, it would be an absolute secret treasure!
Afterwards, Ning Qi perceived the locations of the other True Disciples of the Boundless Sword Sect and immediately flew rapidly towards another direction.
He hunted as he traveled.
In the blink of an eye, several days had passed.
A great power’s tomb, emitting a slightly dimmer bronze light, appeared not far away. No other true disciples were present around it.
Therefore, Ning Qi easily resolved the tomb-guarding fierce beast and took away its relics.
This time, he obtained a low-grade Spirit Treasure saber, and a rare spherical Rule Jade, though it was only the size of an apricot and presented in black and white.
This Rule Jade is much purer. This shows that there are likely single-colored Rule Jades as well.
But according to intelligence, monochromatic Rule Jade is truly difficult to encounter.
Because within the Profound True Secret Realm, the rules are in utter chaos.
Generating a Rule Jade with multiple aggregated rules is easy, but the chance of generating a monochromatic one is truly too slim.
Monochromatic Rule Jade is extremely suitable for comprehension, while multi-colored Rule Jade is troublesome to comprehend!
After all, the formation of the Rule Jade must maintain the balance of rules within it.
Borrowing the Rule Jade to comprehend rules, but one must also maintain the rule balance within it.
If the rules within become unbalanced due to comprehension, the Rule Jade will explode and dissipate into heaven and earth.
Therefore, many cultivators have mixed feelings of love and hate towards it.
With great difficulty he obtained one, but he was only particularly talented in certain rules. However, to cultivate with the Rule Jade, one must maintain the balance of the rules, and the expenditure of energy required would be immense, wouldn’t it?
But this was for others; for Ning Qi and all beings in the True Martial Realm who possessed the Enlightenment Realm Tree, it was not a problem at all!
Under the enhancement of heaven-defying comprehension, comprehending rules is simply effortless.
As for maintaining the balance of rules, Ning Qi had an idea. He possessed the power of a World Lord, so perhaps when he integrated the Rule Jade into the world, he could separate out all sorts of rules from it one by one!
Ning Qi accepted the Rule Jade and set off again.
During this period, he finally encountered a few True Disciples. Ning Qi recognized them as Rogue Cultivators. Upon seeing Ning Qi, they directly avoided him from afar, being extremely cautious.
Ning Qi did not pay attention.
In his perception, the disciples of the Boundless Sword Sect were getting closer and closer to him, and the light spots of several people even seemed to have gathered together, probably because others had met up first.
This is good too. Ning Qi was actually quite worried about his junior brothers and sisters. If they encountered some true disciples from top-tier Upper Sects, it might be a little dangerous.
Now that several people have gathered, Ning Qi worries a little less.
Ning Qi immediately fled towards the direction where the few people were gathered.
After another two days, a shield light streaked across the sky ahead, creating sonic booms, appearing particularly anxious.
Even before reaching a hundred thousand feet away, Ning Qi had already seen the approaching person.
This was indeed the Boundless Sword Sect’s tenth True Disciple this time, a female disciple named Xie Chaolu. The original tenth True Disciple, He Tian, was ultimately unable to remain, even with considerable effort, due to Qin Minghao and Ning Qi entering the top ten True Disciples’ ranks.
Seeing the approaching person, Ning Qi was startled and immediately went to meet him.
Xie Chaolu’s chest rose and fell unevenly after seeing Ning Qi, and she panted heavily.
“Senior Brother Ning… Senior Brother Ning!”
Ning Qi saw that sweat was constantly seeping from her temples. He reached out and pressed her shoulder, sending over a strand of pure mana to replenish her depletion and calm her down.
“Chaolu, Upper Sword, let’s talk as we walk!”
Ning Qi waved his hand, and the Green Sword enlarged, transforming into a sword artifact that could accommodate a person to sit on.
267 Xie Chaolu’s face turned slightly red, her body twisting as she sat on it sideways.
The figures of the two people immediately streaked across the sky.
Xie Chaolu calmed her emotions before saying:
“Senior Brother Ning, Senior Brother Qin Minghao, Senior Brother Wang Ye, and Senior Sister Jiang Qingxue have discovered the tomb of a Body Integration Realm Giant ahead. They are guarding it, awaiting the tomb’s emergence, and sent me to inform you.”
Ning Qi, hearing this, showed a rare smile on his face.
Xie Chaolu saw his smile was like a clear summer breeze, and a bright light couldn’t help but flash in her beautiful eyes. She immediately felt her fatigue from the long journey vanish completely.
“Good, good, good, Chaolu, besides you, there are four others who stayed there, right?”
Xie Chaolu lightly tucked her hair, saying, “Yes, Senior Brother Ning. Besides Qin Minghao, Wang Ye, and Jiang Qingxue, Senior Brother Wu Qingxiao, the Fifth True Disciple, is also here.”
“Alright, when you came, were there any true disciples from other sects around them?”
Xie Chaolu replied, “When I left, there were no disciples from other sects. However, that great tomb was emitting a silver light. I think it’s likely attracted people from other sects by now!”
Ning Qi nodded slightly.
“Then sit tight, I’ll speed up a bit more.”
Xie Chaolu didn’t see Ning Qi make any moves either; it was just that the sword under him suddenly accelerated, its speed actually doubling from before.
Xie Chaolu was secretly shocked, and she didn’t know how Senior Brother Ning managed to do it.
One day passed.
Ning Qi finally brought Xie Chaolu to the territory she mentioned.
Before even getting close, Ning Qi saw from afar a towering silver light, like lonely smoke in the desert, lying between heaven and earth.
Ning Qi accelerated again, leaving trails of cloud marks behind him.
Subsequently, the great tomb grew larger and larger in their eyes, a hundred kilometers, fifty kilometers, ten kilometers…
It didn’t take long before he finally saw the great tomb below.
Under the silver radiance, the great tomb lay like a mountain beside a vast lake.
The lake also reflected its silvery light, making that territory shine even brighter.
At this moment, Qin Minghao, Wang Ye, and Jiang Qingxue stood above the vast lake, waves surging. The three of them, fighting together against one person, were actually at a disadvantage!
