Chapter 43: Myriad Phenomena Chapter
Qin Yun’s matter caused quite a stir in the True Martial Sect, leaving the various True Disciples somewhat frustrated.
Ning Qi gradually returned to his previous cultivation state, but while perusing the classics left behind by Qin Yun, he couldn’t help but think of this former Eighth Senior Brother, wondering what the scene would be like the next time they met.
But time could heal everything.
The True Martial Sect gradually returned to its former state.
Everyone, from top to bottom, was united in preparing for the upcoming Heavenly Human Ceremony.
Perhaps influenced by Qin Yun’s matter, Dragon Mountain Daoist entered closed-door cultivation, and once he emerged, he would surely have reached the Heavenly Human Realm!
Another year, and the peach blossoms were in full bloom.
This year, the peach blossoms outside the Seeker’s Courtyard bloomed even more vibrantly and beautifully.
Ye Qinghe picked some again to make peach blossom wine. She secretly resolved that she must succeed in brewing the wine this time, but she didn’t publicize it widely and decided to work quietly and then astonish everyone.
Ning Qi chuckled inwardly.
White Ape had already told him that Ye Qinghe had quietly found White Ape, using threats and inducements to make White Ape quietly brew a batch as well.
If hers succeeded, she would use her own; if not, she would use White Ape’s.
Ning Qi fetched a rattan chair and lay under the peach blossom tree.
Utterly relaxed.
He was now over six years old, but he looked no different from a youth around ten, dressed in a Daoist robe, with calm eyes and a naturally extraordinary demeanor.
He was pondering the strength transformation method of the Great Dream Nine Deaths Strength.
“The so-called strength transformation is to imbue inner strength with different characteristics. Some characteristics don’t require external objects, like Heaven Shaking Strength, Earth Shaking Strength, and Sea Covering Strength—these three.”
“But some characteristics do require external objects, like Ice Silkworm Strength. It mentions that it’s best to cultivate it with an extremely cold treasure to make the inner strength more powerful, but actually, it can be done without external objects, just with less power.”
“What I pursue is not just one kind of characteristic, but to encompass all things, just like the Myriad Manifestations Origin Stance back then.”
Ning Qi was gradually comprehending his own path.
With his max level comprehension, he was destined to be different from ordinary people.
Refining the myriad daos might help him achieve the supreme, allowing him to walk further on the path.
“In these days, I’ve read many inner strength cultivation methods, some from the Scripture Depository and some left by Eighth Senior Brother. The so-called inner strength characteristics are essentially forming different trajectories within the body, creating various characteristics.”
“If that’s the case, as long as I make the trajectories variable, I can switch them freely at any time.”
Ning Qi looked up as a peach blossom petal slowly drifted down.
He casually caught it and smiled.
He had studied ninety-two strength transformation methods, comprehending the essence of strength transformation, and observed the myriad manifestations of heaven and earth, experimenting with various trajectories.
At this moment, he finally understood.
Within his body.
The inner strength, already extremely condensed, constantly rotated, transforming into various special trajectories with his thoughts.
A bit of inner strength erupted along Ning Qi’s palm, bringing a fiery red scorching heat. The originally vibrant peach blossom petal spontaneously ignited without wind.
But it wasn’t over yet.
The inner strength trajectory in his body changed; the fiery scorching intent vanished, turning into extreme cold. Crackling sounds came as the burning flame petal instantly froze, becoming an ice sculpture, exquisitely beautiful.
Ning Qi thought again.
His fingers didn’t change as a strand of inner strength emerged, vibrating slightly.
The ice sculpture turned into fine powder, sparkling like fine sand, slipping through Ning Qi’s fingers.
Ning Qi’s eyes held joy.
“Inner strength transforms freely, characteristics switch at will, encompassing all things—this is the Myriad Manifestations Chapter of the Great Dream Nine Deaths Strength, also the strength transformation method of the Great Dream Nine Deaths Strength.”
“My inner strength can be extremely hot or extremely cold, it can ‘vibrate’ or ‘rotate,’ it can even carry baleful poison, capture the heart and soul like a divine tiger or ancient eagle, and not only that, it can layer characteristics, having both extreme cold and vibration.”
This was Ning Qi’s harvest over this period.
Achieving this wasn’t easy. Others’ inner strength trajectories became fixed after transformation, but Ning Qi’s were variable, requiring an extremely high physical body—this was only possible with Ning Qi’s such robust physical foundation.
For anyone else, their body would likely collapse and perish in minutes.
“However, to truly encompass all things in the Myriad Manifestations Chapter, there’s still some way to go.”
It wasn’t that Ning Qi’s comprehension was insufficient; there were simply too few existing strength transformation methods, only ninety-two. Ning Qi had created many inner strength characteristics on this foundation, but it wasn’t enough yet. In the future, if he collected new strength transformation methods, he could incorporate them.
“With the Myriad Manifestations Chapter, my strength has become even greater.”
Inner strength with added characteristics had power beyond plain inner strength.
For example, now if Ning Qi struck with one palm strike, he could freeze someone into an ice sculpture; before, he could at most kill with raw power.
“Next is to focus single-mindedly on impacting Inner Yuan Major Accomplishment. With my inner strength’s condensation, at that time I can extend inner strength outside the body.”
Ning Qi was quite looking forward to this.
The laser sword from his previous life’s films had always fascinated him, and the effect of extending inner strength outside the body was basically equivalent to a laser sword, just unable to detach and shoot.
With a goal.
Ning Qi’s cultivation was even more motivated.
With the Great Dream Nine Deaths Strength, his cultivation speed had always been very fast.
In just over a year, he had reached the fifth layer of Inner Yuan, and now he was nearing major accomplishment of the sixth layer.
In the Seeker’s Courtyard.
Peach blossoms blazed. With Ning Qi’s perception, he could tell that recently more disciples were coming and going to the Scripture Depository than before.
The news of Qin Yun defecting from the True Martial Sect had spread through the outer and inner sects. Some were angry, some regretful, but some were glad, because without Qin Yun, it meant Dragon Mountain Daoist might take another disciple. Some disciples wanted to seize this opportunity to soar.
Ning Qi didn’t see any problem with it; it was human nature.
People strive for higher places.
He just cultivated silently.
During this time, it seemed because of Qin Yun’s matter, the senior brothers and senior sisters came more frequently and were very concerned about Ning Qi.
They feared that one day Ning Qi might also develop an inner demon; they didn’t want to go through that pain a second time.
Ning Qi wasn’t impatient.
He gradually felt that pursuing longevity wasn’t about turning oneself into an emotionless, cold cultivation machine. Before, he might have thought to hope for more solitude, more time to grow, but now he felt he should cherish the people before him.
When senior brothers and senior sisters came, he would chat with them cheerfully; it didn’t actually waste much time.
Just like that.
At the time when the peach blossoms were in their most brilliant bloom.
Ning Qi welcomed the opportunity for his fifth feigned death.
His inner strength and body had fully connected; he just needed the fifth feigned death to promote to the Sixth Layer Realm, and then he could try the thrill of the ‘laser sword.’
But just as he prepared to go to the treasury to get some resources for the feigned death.
Luo Wentian brought an extremely exciting piece of news, causing Ning Qi to temporarily halt his steps.
Fifth Disciple Jiang Baishan had broken through to the Gang Yuan Realm!
Monthly ticket at the start of the month!!
