Chapter 266: Core Great Tomb
Several days passed.
On this day, the remaining three True Disciples of the Boundless Sword Sect finally arrived where Ning Qi and his six companions were.
It was Mo Cang, Luo Zhan who had fought in the True Disciple ranking, and the Fourth True Disciple, Huo Mingguang.
Mo Cang and Luo Zhan teamed up and encountered no difficult situations along the way.
However, the Fourth True Disciple, Huo Mingguang, was injured, and not lightly.
The group quickly inquired what had happened.
It turned out that these past few days, with the news of Chu Xiaotian sending out a challenge spreading, Ning Qi had not responded.
He had even personally led his True Disciples to the agreed-upon location and waited for a day.
Many True Disciples and rogue cultivators in the vicinity had gone to observe.
Ning Qi did not go, and not even a messenger was sent.
After waiting for a day, Chu Xiaotian laughed and left.
“Immortal Seed Ning Qi is not living up to his name!”
Before he left, he specifically sent someone to remain in that area.
“I will leave someone here to wait for three days. If no one from the Boundless Sword Sect still comes, then everyone can confirm this statement!”
Clearly, three days had long since passed.
Therefore, the people of the Northern Profound Upper Sect immediately spread word.
“Immortal Seed Ning Qi forced Heavenly Pride Fu Chen to retreat, Ning Qi fears battle with Chu Xiaotian!”
The rumors had already spread throughout the Profound True Secret Realm.
Upon hearing this, everyone naturally agreed with the statement.
After all, Ning Qi was not as free and unfettered as Fu Chen. Fu Chen was a rogue cultivator, unbound by a sect and without fellow disciples.
Therefore, Fu Chen could escape, but Ning Qi, as the First True Disciple of the Boundless Sword Sect, represented the reputation of the entire Boundless Sword Sect.
Since he did not attend this kind of public challenge, and none of the other disciples of the Boundless Sword Sect did either, naturally everyone would assume he feared battle.
Thus, not only Ning Qi, but all other disciples of the Boundless Sword Sect were disdained by all the True Disciples in the Profound True Secret Realm.
Therefore, on the way, Huo Mingguang, the Fourth True Disciple, encountered three disciples from a sect in the Southern True Domain.
They saw that Huo Mingguang was a disciple of the Boundless Sword Sect and was traveling alone.
Their words and actions immediately revealed their disdain, as they mocked Ning Qi and the entire Boundless Sword Sect.
Huo Mingguang became enraged and fought the three in anger, which is why he arrived injured.
He looked at Ning Qi and said:
“Senior Brother Ning, I know you don’t want to waste time on people like Chu Xiaotian, but I just can’t stand them mocking you and our Boundless Sword Sect.”
After hearing Huo Mingguang’s experience, Ning Qi patted his shoulder and said calmly:
“Junior Brother Huo, we will eventually encounter people from the Northern Profound Upper Sect, and there will be a result then!”
He casually took out a bottle of pills and handed it to Huo Mingguang.
“Since Junior Brother fought for my and the sect’s reputation, you should not be injured.”
Huo Mingguang was filled with emotion and thanked him repeatedly.
The other True Disciples looked at Ning Qi, finding him increasingly benevolent and virtuous, no wonder Qin Minghao and Wang Ye followed him.
The three newcomers were unaware, but Jiang Qingxue and her two companions, after spending a few days with Ning Qi, had already developed a desire to follow him.
The disciples of the Boundless Sword Sect gathered, and then under Ning Qi’s leadership, they successively broke open several more Bronze Tombs and Silver Great Tombs.
They advanced like a broken bamboo, with almost no obstruction.
Even when other sect’s True Disciples encountered a Bronze Tomb, they had to proceed cautiously, guarding against the traps within.
But they had Senior Brother Ning!
Even when faced with many dangers, and even if the eight people besides Ning Qi felt they would have no chance of survival if they faced it alone.
But their Senior Brother Ning could always sweep away all evil, and demons would retreat!
The group had a bountiful harvest. Ning Qi obtained a full fifty Rule Jades, and the confiscated Spiritual Treasures exceeded seventy.
Among them were eleven Incomplete Mid-grade Spirit Treasures; each of the nine of them would get one with some left over, and there were also three complete Mid-grade Spirit Treasures!
The rest were all Low-grade Spirit Treasures.
As for Magic Treasures, which were a rank lower, there were over two hundred.
And Pills, Cultivation Methods, and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures were countless.
All the True Disciples showed expressions of joy, their hearts seemed to be pounding wildly with the “thump-thump-thump” from such a large harvest.
After all, in the history of the Boundless Sword Sect’s greatest harvest during previous Profound True Secret Realm openings, they had only obtained one complete Mid-grade Spirit Treasure, two Incomplete Mid-grade Spirit Treasures, and ten Rule Jades.
And now, following Senior Brother Ning, with plenty of time left before the Profound True Secret Realm closed, they had already reaped such a substantial harvest.
They could already picture in their minds what it would be like upon returning to the sect.
How astonished the Sect Leader and Elders would be, exclaiming that the sect was about to prosper!
Even Ning Qi could not escape this feeling.
The Profound True Secret Realm was truly a good place. In the North and South Regions, it was hard to find another place with such abundant harvests.
Ning Qi led the group to continue their plundering. Since they had entered a Treasure Mountain, if they didn’t Empty Out the Treasure Mountain, wouldn’t it be a wasted trip?
…
Somewhere in the Profound True Secret Realm.
Fu Chen held an ancient Compass Magic Tool in his hand.
Unlike others, he could always easily find various tombs.
Even if they did not emit any light, Fu Chen could detect their Existence.
He was like someone with an extremely clear treasure map, always one step ahead, digging up the Treasures within.
If not for the many mechanisms, traps, and tomb-guarding demons within those tombs, which hindered his treasure-excavating speed.
Fu Chen believed that he was definitely the one with the most harvests in the Profound True Secret Realm.
So far, he had obtained one Mid-grade Spirit Treasure, two Incomplete Mid-grade Spirit Treasures, five Low-grade Spirit Treasures, and nine Rule Jades!
It was unavoidable, after all, he had the Nascent Soul of a Dao Integration Realm Old Ancestor accompanying him.
After breaking open another Bronze Tomb, Fu Chen emerged from it. On the way, he inquired for news from other rogue cultivators.
Rogue cultivators had many ears and eyes. When the True Disciples of the major sects joined forces to attack tombs, their movements often caused a great stir, so news would always leak out.
Fu Chen learned that even the lucky ones among the top Upper Sects had harvests comparable to his.
One had to consider that they had pooled the strength of an entire sect, while he was alone!
Fu Chen also asked about the Boundless Sword Sect’s situation, but for sects like the Boundless Sword Sect, which were not top Upper Sects, few people paid attention to their movements.
That rogue cultivator speculated that Immortal Seed Ning Qi feared battle with Chu Xiaotian and seemed to have hidden with his True Disciples, rarely showing themselves.
Few people encountered them, so no real situation was reported back.
Of course, this was also partly because Ning Qi and his group had dealt with some of the people they encountered.
Although he hadn’t heard about the Boundless Sword Sect’s harvest, upon hearing that Ning Qi feared battle with Chu Xiaotian, and that Chu Xiaotian had suppressed Ning Qi, it naturally meant he had also suppressed Fu Chen, who Ning Qi had forced to retreat.
Everyone further ranked Chu Xiaotian as the foremost among the Five Great Heavenly Prides.
Fu Chen snorted coldly.
That Chu Xiaotian was truly excessively arrogant; he had no idea that there were people stronger than him and heavens beyond the heavens!
He, Fu Chen, was the one who knew Ning Qi’s true capabilities best. The other Heavenly Prides were no match for Ning Qi.
It could be said that the strongest person in this Profound True Secret Realm would definitely be Ning Qi!
Fu Chen was a bit puzzled and muttered to himself:
“Could Chu Xiaotian be an idiot? Ning Qi is probably busy breaking through tombs, yet Chu Xiaotian actually spent a whole day waiting for Ning Qi and even left a Junior Brother to stand guard for three days?”
Fu Chen was speechless. He had finally entered this Profound True Secret Realm, which was like a Treasure Mountain, and instead of diligently plundering wealth, he was wasting time on empty fame, which he found utterly contemptible.
Of course, Fu Chen did not know that the Boundless Sword Sect was currently threatening the status of the Northern Profound Upper Sect.
The Northern Profound Upper Sect had tasked Chu Xiaotian with seizing the opportunity in the Profound True Secret Realm to eliminate Ning Qi and his group, intending to eradicate the threat.
“Let them be arrogant for a while longer!”
Fu Chen looked at the Compass in his hand, injected spiritual energy into it, and supplemented it with Primordial Spirit Power to capture that faint sensing from the unseen.
He was no longer satisfied with Bronze Tombs and Silver Great Tombs. After all, no matter how many Spiritual Treasures he obtained, being without a sect and alone, he couldn’t use them all.
Fu Chen looked in the direction the pointer was pointing, and his entire being transformed into a blood-red stream of light, rapidly flying towards the nearby Territory.
With the Compass in hand, the direction he traveled was carefully chosen, so he had already set his route.
Now he intended to go directly for the greatest Treasure in the Profound True Secret Realm!
In just one day, Fu Chen landed in a deep ravine shrouded in mist.
He took out a broken Tablet and looked into the depths ahead where nothing could be seen. Two beams of Golden Light shot from his eyes, seemingly activating something.
Inside the deep ravine, the misty fog gradually receded, revealing a cave entrance.
Beside Fu Chen, Wei Wu Ya appeared and looked at the cave entrance ahead, asking:
“Chen’er, have you thought it through? The Heavenly Tomb before us is the Core Land of the Profound True Secret Realm. Once it is opened, the Profound True Secret Realm will gradually lift its restrictions, and then Great Powers from Ningyu City will also be able to enter.”
Fu Chen replied firmly:
“Teacher, apart from the Heavenly Tomb before us, I have no interest in any other tombs. Moreover, the lifting of the Profound True Secret Realm’s restrictions will be gradual.”
“Even if those Great Powers can enter the Profound True Secret Realm, within ten thousand feet of this core Heavenly Tomb, there will still be terrifying restrictive forces blocking them.”
Wei Wu Ya nodded slightly.
“Alright, then you proceed. As the opener, you will also gain considerable advantage. Afterward, obtain the core Secret Treasure within, and then use the Teleportation Array to leave. You can rest assured.”
“Yes!”
Fu Chen no longer hesitated and suddenly threw the Tablet in his hand towards the cave entrance ahead.
The Tablet spun, and as it neared the cave entrance, an invisible force stabilized it!
Immediately, the Tablet melted, and from it, large runes emerged, drilling into the cave.
Rumble!
The bottom of this deep ravine seemed to shake as if an infinite power erupted.
Terrifying Spiritual Energy gathered towards this place, and the entire deep ravine rapidly ascended.
If someone were to look at this place from afar, they would see the entire terrain rising, piercing the sky!
Boom!
The entire Profound True Secret Realm seemed to tremble, and everyone within involuntarily looked towards the direction of the tremor.
They saw that in the center of the Divine Mountain that had just risen from the ground, there was a dark crack, like a Black Dragon!
Suddenly, the Black Dragon broke free from the Divine Mountain, absorbing the Spiritual Energy of the surrounding ten thousand miles, and coiled in the air.
The next moment, it let out a world-shattering dragon roar towards the Sky, then its body writhed and directly slammed down onto the Divine Mountain below!
The greatest sound is silent; everyone heard no sound, yet their ears felt as if rolling stones, shaking their minds.
Looking inside again, the Divine Mountain was split open by the Black Dragon, falling into two halves to the left and right.
Amidst the sky-filling dust, a ray of Golden Light suddenly emerged from the dust, followed by infinite Golden Light scattering down, like the Sun, illuminating the entire Profound True Secret Realm.
“Golden Light shines, a Dao Integration Realm Old Ancestor’s Great Tomb has appeared!”
Countless people exclaimed in shock!
In the Sky, figures flew like locusts, all heading in one direction.
In an instant, many people collided with each other.
As someone flew, they said, “My heavens, we are too lucky!”
Someone beside them, not understanding, asked: “Why do you say that?”
Seeing that the other person was a rogue cultivator, the first person, in a good mood, explained:
“Since the Profound True Secret Realm first opened, sects from both the North and South Regions have kept records, but there has never been a record of Golden Light illuminating the entire Profound True Secret Realm!”
Not far away, another sect’s disciple expressed agreement.
“Yes, before entering the Profound True Secret Realm, the sect showed us all the records. Among them, there was a record of Golden Light appearing, but it only illuminated an area of at most a hundred miles. How could it be like this now?”
The rogue cultivator immediately understood.
“Could it be that this Great Tomb appearing now far surpasses all previous Golden Tombs?”
The sect disciple’s face was filled with longing.
“No, this tomb is probably the core of the Profound True Secret Realm, the only Existence in the entire Profound True Secret Realm!”
“I don’t know what will happen when it appears, but I understand that if we miss it, it will be gone forever!”
“Even if we manage to snatch a bit of its dregs, it will be enough for us to benefit our entire lives!”
Another True Disciple from a sect nodded in agreement.
“This is absolutely the greatest Opportunity we will encounter in this lifetime! Even the Great Powers and Elders from Ningyu City outside, I dare to guarantee, any Opportunity they encounter in their lives cannot compare to this!”
“Naturally. Think about it, in the North and South Regions, the top Upper Sects only have Body Integration Realm Magnates presiding over them, but the current Golden Tomb represents a Dao Integration Realm Old Ancestor!”
“And it is definitely the most powerful existence among all Dao Integration Realm Old Ancestors in the Profound True Secret Realm, perhaps only one step away from the realm of Immortals!”
The rogue cultivator listened, dumbfounded.
“What, Immortal realm? Then we must hurry!”
The two sect disciples who were conversing suddenly smiled and attacked him simultaneously, killing him.
“One less competitor is one less! Although you are a rogue cultivator and pose little threat to us, throughout history, there have been those who got lucky!”
The two glanced at each other again. They were not from the same sect, and after assessing each other’s strength, they deemed them to be roughly equal.
The two did not fight; instead, they turned and flew back to their respective sects first.
Now, let alone being alone, even if two sects gathered all their members and met, if one side was weaker, the other side would likely attack first to contend for the Opportunity.
It was not that they had narrow minds, but rather human nature. Moreover, by eliminating the weaker party, they could also seize the Opportunities the other party had gained during this time.
Everyone knew that with the appearance of the greatest Opportunity in the history of the Profound True Secret Realm, the realm would become like an Asura’s battlefield, where the Law of the Jungle would be played out to the fullest.
But no one retreated!
…
Ning Qi and his nine companions were gathered, and everyone looked towards the distant Golden Light, their faces filled with intense longing.
“Senior Brother Ning, should we set off immediately?” Wang Ye asked.
Ning Qi scanned everyone and gave a casual smile, joking:
“If I say I won’t go, will the eight of you gang up and drag me there?”
The eight people stared at him, and their gazes seemed to confirm this intention!
Ning Qi’s body suddenly emitted eight low-grade Spirit Swords, each suspended before the eight people.
He said, “Sit on it, and let’s go!”
The eight people looked at each other, all deeply shocked, not expecting Senior Brother Ning to take them eight with his extreme speed.
“Senior Brother Ning, you absolutely must not!” Jiang Qingxue immediately advised.
Besides Qin Minghao, the other seven also repeatedly advised.
Although the current opportunity is good, the situation is also extremely perilous!
If Senior Brother Ning expends too much energy, encountering the other top-tier Upper Sects would be disadvantageous.
They knew well that only Ning Qi could deal with the many powers, so they were unwilling to deplete Ning Qi’s strength at this moment.
Ning Qi waved his hand and said with a smile:
“All junior brothers and sisters, I have a plan. Hurry onto your swords, or if we’re late, we won’t even get a sip of the soup!”
The congregation heard this and showed helpless expressions.
They were probably a day’s journey away from the Golden Heavenly Tomb, so they really couldn’t delay!
The eight spiritual swords enlarged, and the few people instantly sat on them.
Ning Qi in front, eight swords side-by-side, closely following, cutting across the sky!
…
Fu Chen, who opened the Golden Heavenly Tomb, has entered it.
Before long, the two arrived together!
Unlike Ning Qi, he carried his junior brother and junior sister, not abandoning any of them.
Some sects, to seize the initiative, had their ordinary true disciples proceed together, while their sect’s First True Disciple took a step ahead.
These two who arrived are Ren Zong and Wu Dao from the Heavenly Star Upper Sect.
Ren Zong possessed the demeanor of a Senior Disciple Brother, he usually took great care of other True Disciples, and they were almost inseparable.
But now, his junior brothers and sisters who had left the sect, it seems everyone was afraid of dragging him down, so for the sake of the overall situation, they let him seize the initiative.
And Wu Dao, who came from a Minor Sect and possessed peerless talent in the Formation Way, would naturally not be burdened by his sect.
The two hung in the air, exchanging a glance.
did not fight, but nodded in greeting instead.
“Brother Wu, you and I each have our strengths, how about we cooperate?” Ren Zong cupped his hands.
Within Wu Dao’s eyes, numerous miniature formations seemed to flash.
He said, “How should we distribute what we’ve obtained?”
Ren Zong laughed heartily, “Fifty-fifty split!”
“Alright!”
Afterward, the two even used the power of their nascent souls to communicate with the Heavenly Dao and swear an oath, constructing an unbreakable agreement before stepping into the golden light together.
Not long after they entered, Daoists arrived one after another.
Either one person, or multiple people, or like Ren Zong and Wu Dao, making a Heavenly Dao oath to explore together, or before even entering, they would fight fiercely, a life-and-death struggle, and only after winning would they enter the tomb.
Some cautious individuals, witnessing numerous scenes, waited outside the Golden Heavenly Tomb for a suitable opportunity.
Time passed, and Chu Xiaotian approached, riding the gale.
He was about to step in when he suddenly stopped.
Just because he saw a familiar figure in white clothes behind him, rapidly closing in through the air.
Chu Xiaotian turned around, looking at Ning Qi who was getting closer, and a strange light flashed in his eyes!
This Ning Qi’s speed was extremely fast. Not only that, he was actually leading all the True Disciples of the Boundless Sword Sect to travel together.
To deplete oneself like this is truly unwise!
At the same time, Chu Xiaotian couldn’t help but be surprised by Ning Qi’s speed and profound mana.
Of course, he compared himself to Ning Qi and Chu Xiaotian felt he could also do it, so he didn’t pay it any mind.
Around them, many people suddenly saw two heavenly prides meet.
Immediately, someone abandoned their intention of entering the Heavenly Tomb, showing a look of someone watching a good show.
Heavenly Prides encounter each other, these two have long been at each other’s throats, I’m afraid a battle is inevitable!
They were not lacking this bit of time for delay, and might even be able to pick up some bargains.
“Ning Qi, we’ve finally met in this Profound True Secret Realm!”
Chu Xiaotian, clad in silver armor, was tall and imposing. Merely standing there gave him a terrifying aura that seemed to suppress mountains and rivers.
The expressions of the onlookers changed. No wonder this person was listed as one of the Five Great Heavenly Pride, even called the foremost among them. He truly possessed that wild aura of having the world in his grasp.
And they, in turn, looked at Ning Qi.
Ning Qi led eight True Disciples and stopped ten zhang away from Chu Xiaotian.
His gaze at Chu Xiaotian seemed completely unmoved.
The congregation did not perceive the overbearing aura from Ning Qi as they did from Chu Xiaotian, but they also sensed a transcendent demeanor from Ning Qi, like an immortal descending to the mortal world.
Many onlookers began to whisper amongst themselves.
“Who do you think is weaker and who is stronger among them?”
“Chu Xiaotian was so domineering and had long challenged Ning Qi to a battle. Since Ning Qi never accepted the challenge, he had already lost a bit in terms of momentum. Therefore, I am optimistic about Chu Xiaotian!”
“But Chu Xiaotian is alone, while Ning Qi has led all the true disciples of the Boundless Sword Sect to come together. If it’s eight to one, no matter how strong Chu Xiaotian is, he’ll likely have to admit defeat!”
“Hmph, the Boundless Sword Sect is merely an Upper Sect, and only Ning Qi barely ranks among the five Heavenly Prides. The rest are useless against the First True Disciple of a top-tier Upper Sect, no matter how many of them there are.”
“I actually feel that Ning Qi is somewhat unfathomable. Chu Xiaotian is indeed domineering, but his emotions are too strong. Ning Qi, on the other hand, is always detached. Emotionally speaking, Chu Xiaotian seems to have lost.”
“Stop arguing! They are about to battle, and the outcome will reveal itself soon. Why don’t we set up some bets!”
“Hiss, brother, you’re really something. Tell me, what are the odds for the two of them?”
The person who announced the opening, his gaze swept across the two, and suddenly said:
“Chu Xiaotian is 2 to 1, Ning Qi is 1 to 2. If all nine from the Boundless Sword Sect attack, Chu Xiaotian is 5 to 1, and Ning Qi is 1 to 5!”
“Good heavens, you’re completely siding with Chu Xiaotian, but I’m placing my bet!”
In an instant, many people participated.
Ning Qi and Chu Xiaotian naturally also heard everyone’s words.
Chu Xiaotian’s gaze seemed to solidify, like swords and blades, looking towards the person who opened the market.
That person was also a minor sect’s First True Disciple, yet under Chu Xiaotian’s gaze, they were as if frozen.
He shivered all over, looked at Chu Xiaotian, and quickly said, “What are your orders, Chu Tianjiao?”
Chu Xiaotian snorted coldly, “How audacious! You dare to make a bet using me right in front of my face. Do you consider me a tool?”
The person’s teeth seemed to be chattering, and he said in fear, “I was wrong, I shouldn’t have gambled with Chu Tianjiao. I’ll withdraw my bet right now!”
Chu Xiaotian said sternly, “Who told you to withdraw the compass?”
“What does that Chu Tianjiao mean?”
“I can let you open the shop, but I’ll take eighty percent of the profits you gain!”
“Eighty percent?” The person cried with a mournful face, but there was no other way. “Alright, eighty percent, just eighty percent. To be acquainted with Chu Tianjiao, I’d willingly agree to ninety percent.”
“Hmph, do you think I’d care about the meager belongings of you poor wretches? This is merely a lesson for you!”
Chu Xiaotian turned his gaze back, falling upon Ning Qi. He clasped his hands together, his knuckles cracking incessantly.
“Alright, since they’ve started the match, I suppose our battle should begin as well.”
Behind Ning Qi, the eight people had various expressions on their faces.
But most leaned towards the positive, following Ning Qi all the way. They deeply felt Ning Qi’s power and weren’t worried that he would be defeated by Chu Xiaotian.
However, some still harbored worries, fearing that if the two engaged in battle, there might be some damage, which could potentially affect them after entering the Golden Heavenly Tomb.
Ning Qi looked back and said lightly, “You all retreat. We’ll be able to enter in ten breaths at most.”
“Ten breaths?”
Upon hearing this, all eight people, except for Qin Minghao, couldn’t help but be stunned.
And the onlookers, hearing Ning Qi utter such a bold statement, were all shocked.
How dare he?
Chu Xiaotian and Ning Qi encountered each other, but it only took a few breaths.
But based on the performance of the two, everyone already leaned towards Chu Xiaotian winning in their hearts.
After all, Chu Xiaotian’s performance before was too domineering, even interfering with their betting on the outcome of the two’s battle!
Even though everyone was dissatisfied in their hearts, the strong are the strong, and it is the instinct of all living beings to lean towards the strong.
“Ten breaths? Hahaha!”
Chu Xiaotian acted as if he had heard the funniest thing in the world. His thick eyebrows twitched, like heavenly swords cleaving the void.
“Ning Qi, you said you lost within ten breaths, you do have some self-awareness!”
Ning Qi wasted no words; his white robes swept across the sky as he directly struck out a palm towards Chu Xiaotian.
If not for his reservations, let alone ten breaths, he wouldn’t even need one breath to send Chu Xiaotian to negotiate with the King of Hell.
Chu Xiaotian let out a wild roar, shaking mountains and rivers!
Within ten zhang of him, it seemed as if everything was shaking.
You must know that this is the Profound True Secret Realm, a special space constructed by countless powers of rules, and for them, who are in the Nascent Soul Realm, the space is incredibly stable.
From this, one can see how terrifying Chu Xiaotian is.
His roaring sound had not yet ended, and it seemed all the spiritual energy around him was converging towards him. He even borrowed a lot of power from the Golden Heavenly Tomb behind him.
This fellow is indeed extraordinary; he has been at the limit of the Nascent Soul Realm for a century. If it weren’t for the Profound True Secret Realm, he would have broken through to the Void Dao Realm long ago.
In the darkness, a lion shadow condensed from Chu Xiaotian’s roar, directly biting at the attacking Ning Qi.
The lion shadow was as vast as a mountain, shaking the void, creating layers of clouds, all dyed golden.
Even if a mountain stood before it, I’m afraid it would be shattered by its roar!
However, Ning Qi struck out with a palm, a five-colored divine light giant hand, vaster than the lion’s shadow, incomparably condensed, with even the fingerprints lifelike.
This palm strike pushed forward, as if heaven and earth were overturned and the seas poured in.
The onlookers were all horrified!
I couldn’t help but feel a sense of insignificance when facing heaven and earth, like a lone boat fallen into the vast ocean, able to only drift with the waves. Any slight change in the heavens would lead to eternal damnation.
Chu Xiaotian was also startled.
His roar transformed into a lion’s shadow, seemingly simple, but it was not.
This strike condensed his spiritual energy and Primordial Spirit Power, blending Essence, Qi, and Spirit. His belief even drew upon a trace of the rule of sound from the netherworld.
Ordinary true disciples can only flee and evade, not resist head-on!
Even among the heavenly prides of top-tier Upper Sects, Chu Xiaotian had once fought one of them, and only by using his full strength could he break through.
And Ning Qi, with just a casual palm strike, the aura he unleashed already surpassed his attack.
Although there was no power of rules within, Chu Xiaotian knew that Ning Qi could definitely break it open.
As expected, that sky-shaking lion phantom, though it could roar and move mountains and rivers, was like paper under the giant palm.
Chu Xiaotian’s eyes suddenly became incredibly deep and profound.
Two beams of blue light shot from his eyes, ten zhang long, cutting through the void.
Ning Qi’s attacking giant palm shattered the lion shadow. It did not dissipate but was decomposed and vanished by his two gazes.
But afterwards, Ning Qi’s figure attacked unhurriedly.
He opened and closed his mouth, spitting out a word that fell into everyone’s ears, crystal clear.
“One breath!”
One breath is one cycle, Ning Qi was counting.
The onlookers suddenly felt a surge of excitement, their hearts filled with myriad words they wanted to speak, yet they feared even the slightest bit of interference with this earth-shattering battle.
They stared intently, watching the two people, afraid of missing any detail.
Ning Qi remained as usual, but Chu Xiaotian, who was opposite him, was not as relaxed as before.
Ten blue rays of light shot from his eyes, turning into a formation to trap and kill Ning Qi.
Ten streaks of spectral light, though formless, severed even the void, revealing black spatial rifts.
Ning Qi, at the center, was clad in snow-white robes.
Light was born behind his body, a layer of hazy five-colored rainbow light, like a rainbow, automatically arranged, forming light wheels that spread towards the four directions of the void.
The ten Nascent Soul Slash Blades released by Chu Xiaotian’s pháp nhãn were contracting more and more, as if about to collapse the entire void where Ning Qi was located.
The black spatial rift completely isolated Ning Qi’s world from the outside.
However, when the ten Primordial Spirit Slash Blades struck the five-colored rainbow light emitted from behind Ning Qi, the halo, which was as vague as virtual smoke, was more reliable than any defense in the world.
Not only did it not shatter, it instead caused the Nascent Soul Slash Blade of Chu Xiaotian to develop many nicks!
Behind him, Jiang Qingxue gazed at the rainbow light Ning Qi was displaying, lightly covering her lips as she murmured, “Could this be…”
Qin Minghao nodded and said, “That’s right, Senior Brother Ning’s cultivation method should be the Jade Warm Smoke Art, which he obtained from the silver Heavenly Tomb earlier!”
“But Senior Brother Ning only got it a few days ago?” Xie Chaolu’s pretty face showed disbelief and shock.
Those onlookers didn’t understand, but they, having followed Ning Qi for a long time, naturally knew what spell Ning Qi was using.
Wang Ye sighed and said, “Alas, you are not from the Five Elements Peak, so you don’t understand how strong Senior Brother Ning’s comprehension is! Forget a few days, I even feel that Senior Brother Ning learned the Jade Warm Smoke Art just by glancing at it when he first got it!”
“Isn’t what you’re saying a bit exaggerated?”
Song Qingxiao was down-to-earth and disliked people exaggerating or flattering him the most.
But he only questioned it with the word “exaggerated,” which clearly did not fit his usual temperament. It seemed Ning Qi had convinced him along the way.
“Heh, you think I’m exaggerating? I’ve only been with Senior Brother Ning for ten years. Qin Minghao actually understands Senior Brother Ning the best.”
Seeing Wang Ye shift the topic to himself, Qin Minghao shook his head but said nothing.
He indeed knew Senior Brother Ning’s true situation, far more than others, and far more astonishing than what they said, but he couldn’t speak of it.
Ahead.
The Jade Warm Smoke Art, a cultivation method that primarily focused on offense and defense, displayed astonishing power upon its first use by Ning Qi.
The five-colored divine light spread out like a rainbow, and the ten Nascent Soul Slash Blades that attacked in formation actually emitted a cracking sound and broke apart segment by segment!
The rainbow light swept past, subsequently annihilating them all.
Chu Xiaotian suddenly let out a terrifying scream. His mind was tied to the ten Nascent Soul Slash Blades; they prospered together and were damaged together.
He had already suffered severe injuries.
An unprecedented Fear rose within his heart.
This brat, is he truly in the Nascent Soul Realm?
