Chapter 149: Immortal Sects Shaken! Ji Qing Prepares To Open Heavenly Gate With Saber Technique!
Spiritual Energy Revival, Immortal Sects emerging, the world had already greatly changed.
Jianghu had long since become a Jianghu tailored for “Martial Artists,” a circle belonging to a small group of Martial Artists, no longer the mainstream of the world.
An Yang City, Listen to the Wind Tower.
Shopkeeper Yu received the news at the first moment, even receiving specific intelligence along with it.
She stared at the intelligence in her hand and suddenly smiled.
She laughed freely.
She laughed heartily.
Perhaps Ji Qing still could not change the pattern of the world.
Perhaps the Immortal Path still dominated the world.
But at least Ji Qing could let those high-and-mighty Cultivators know that a Martial Artist’s fury could also splatter blood for ten steps!
Martial Artists could also kill Immortal Dao Cultivators!
……
Jade Pool Sect, Fengluan Immortal saw a piece of intelligence in her hand, her eyes suddenly narrowing sharply.
This intelligence was too shocking.
“Long-bearded Old Man… should be Green Wood Immortal Sect’s Elder Mu Yi, he was already a Peak Qi Practitioner a thousand years ago, his status in Green Wood Immortal Sect second only to the Sect Master and Foundation Establishment Old Ancestor.”
“Elder Mu Yi was actually slain by Ji Qing? Even along with Green Wood Immortal Sect’s Late Qi Condensation Cultivators, all slain together?”
Fengluan Immortal was very shocked.
After all, she was merely a Peak Qi Practitioner herself.
In true strength, she was about the same as Elder Mu Yi.
Even, Elder Mu Yi had richer experience, perhaps she was slightly inferior.
Yet a Cultivator as powerful as that was actually slain by Ji Qing, this was truly too inconceivable.
Fengluan Immortal could still recall Ji Qing’s appearance when he came to Jade Pool Sect back then.
In her eyes, Ji Qing even as a Grandmaster was merely a mere Martial Artist, in the future he and Ji Yao would be people from two different worlds.
But now, Fengluan Immortal was somewhat shaken.
No matter how arrogant she was, if Ji Qing could slay Elder Mu Yi, that meant Ji Qing could also kill her.
“Forget it, pass this news to Ji Yao…”
Fengluan Immortal eventually came before Ji Yao.
“Yao’er, there is news of your brother.”
“News of my brother?”
Ji Yao was slightly stunned.
She was somewhat surprised.
Although her age was still young, she actually knew everything in her heart.
She knew her Master did not like Ji Qing much.
Nor did she like her having any contact with Ji Qing.
She even wanted to sever her this segment of “Mortal Connection.”
She had not expected her Master to proactively give her news of Ji Qing now?
“Yes, your brother has done a great deed… um, an extraordinary great deed…”
Fengluan Immortal told Ji Yao the news of Ji Qing’s Saber Slash killing ten Qi Condensation Cultivators of Green Wood Immortal Sect.
Ji Yao’s heart also stirred up Stormy Seas.
She felt extremely shocked.
However, besides the shock, there was even more excitement and thrill.
She felt sincerely proud.
After all, that was her own brother!
“Master, will Green Wood Immortal Sect send out Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators?”
Ji Yao said softly.
Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator.
This was currently the topmost combat power among the Immortal Sects.
As for Golden Core?
It only existed in Rumor.
Perhaps still in slumber.
Perhaps the news was sealed off.
In any case, even Ji Yao in Jade Pool Sect had not heard news of Golden Core.
So far, the strongest combat power shown by the Immortal Sects was Foundation Establishment!
Fengluan Immortal was silent for a while, then said: “Not likely in a short time, that Foundation Establishment Old Ancestor of Green Wood Immortal Sect probably has not fully awakened yet, or after awakening has not fully recovered his strength. However, if more time passes, then it is not certain…”
Ji Yao breathed a sigh of relief.
She was very confident in Ji Qing, smiling as she said: “If more time passes, my brother can improve again, perhaps by then he will rival Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators!”
Looking at Ji Yao’s confident appearance, Fengluan Immortal did not say words to discourage her.
Improve again, rival Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators?
That was simply impossible.
As far as Fengluan Immortal knew, for a Martial Artist Grandmaster to advance further, they must Open Heavenly Gate, thereby forging Dao Foundation.
This step was ten times more difficult than a Qi Condensation Cultivator achieving Foundation Establishment!
Ji Qing wanting to forge Dao Foundation in a short time was simply impossible.
“Forget it, if Ji Qing truly meets with misfortune…”
Fengluan Immortal shook her head.
If Ji Qing died, for Ji Yao it might not necessarily be a bad thing.
Only by severing “Mortal Connection” could one walk further on the Immortal Path!
……
Demon Slayer Family Chen Family.
With Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy Revival, Demon Slayer Families also welcomed their “spring.”
Demon Slayers were originally descendants of Cultivators.
Moreover, descendants of the legendary “Golden Core.”
Because only offspring born of “Golden Core” could inherit certain unique abilities.
For example, Demon Slayers, even in the Dharma-Ending Age, could have a trace of special Bloodline passed down.
Even special Bloodline could exorcise Demons, and even cast certain Magic.
However, in the Dharma-Ending Age, Demon Slayer Families had hard days, not even daring to step into Jianghu.
But now with Spiritual Energy Revival, good days had come for Demon Slayer Families.
Awakened “Bloodline” Demon Slayers were all exceptionally talented, now able to openly Cultivate.
Therefore, Chen Luo and Chen Lin had both stepped onto the Cultivation path.
Even their Cultivation path was extraordinarily smooth, worthy of being a thousand miles in a day.
In a short year, the brother and sister Chen Luo had both stepped into the fourth layer of Qi Refining.
Absolutely considered Immortal Path geniuses!
On this day, brother and sister Chen Luo received news from Ling Xiao Pavilion.
The two looked at each other, both able to see the shock in the other’s eyes.
Especially Chen Luo, who could not help but smile bitterly: “Chen Lin, I thought with Spiritual Energy Revival, we brother and sister stepping onto the Cultivation path, we could finally hold our heads high before Third Brother. But now looking at it, what are our mere fourth layer Qi Refining? Third Brother can even slay Peak Qi Condensation Cultivators…”
Chen Luo was also young, how could he have no ambition?
In the Dharma-Ending Age it was fine, Ji Qing was the topmost Martial Artist, Chen Luo had no thoughts of comparison.
But now Spiritual Energy Revival had come.
Martial Artists had become third-rate.
While Chen Luo had become a high-and-mighty, bright-future Cultivator.
Cultivation all the way smooth sailing.
He felt he could finally surpass Ji Qing.
As a result now looking, before Ji Qing, he was still “not worth a strike.”
Far too inferior!
Chen Lin smiled and said: “Brother, didn’t you see the ancient records in the family? Martial Way was originally not weaker than Immortal Path, and Martial Artists can also forge Dao Foundation, with combat power fiercer than ordinary Foundation Establishment.”
“Perhaps in a few more days, we will hear news of Third Brother forging Dao Foundation and slaying Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators…”
“Uh…”
Chen Luo originally wanted to say it was absolutely impossible.
How could Ji Qing slay Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators?
But thinking of the various inconceivable things Ji Qing did in the former Dharma-Ending Age, an absurd thought actually arose in Chen Luo’s mind.
Could Ji Qing really not slay Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators?
If Ji Qing forged Dao Foundation, so what of Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators?
“Perhaps, Third Brother really can create a miracle… However, that Foundation Establishment Old Ancestor of Green Wood Immortal Sect will probably be furious…”
Chen Luo let out a long sigh.
For battles of this level, he also could not help.
He could only wish Ji Qing good luck.
……
Ling Xiao Pavilion Martial Arts Library, Ji Qing sat cross-legged on the ground.
Three full months had passed since he slew ten Qi Condensation Cultivators of Green Wood Immortal Sect.
These three months, Ling Xiao Pavilion had been extraordinarily calm.
Green Wood Immortal Sect surprisingly said not a word.
Nor did they send anyone.
As if suddenly gone silent.
However, the more silent Green Wood Immortal Sect was, the less movement, the more Ji Qing knew Green Wood Immortal Sect was “gathering strength.”
Perhaps, just waiting for that “Foundation Establishment Old Ancestor” of Green Wood Immortal Sect to fully recover strength, then they would act against Ling Xiao Pavilion.
As for Ji Qing?
Although he was not a person of Ling Xiao Pavilion, it was he who acted to slay Green Wood Immortal Sect Cultivators.
How could that Foundation Establishment Old Ancestor of Green Wood Immortal Sect let him go?
Therefore, Ji Qing now seized every day to Cultivate ordinary Saber Techniques.
The reason for Cultivating ordinary Saber Techniques was very simple.
Ordinary Saber Techniques consumed very few Origin Points.
From Major Accomplishment to Perfection, only one Origin Point was needed.
If it were second-rate or even first-rate Saber Techniques.
One was that there might not be that many Saber Techniques.
And they would require consuming a large amount of Origin Points.
Ji Qing’s purpose in Cultivating Saber Techniques was merely to accumulate Saber Technique Foundation, thereby creating the most suitable Innate Level Saber Technique for himself.
Therefore, Cultivating ordinary Saber Techniques was sufficient.
With Ji Qing’s current Saber Technique attainment.
He basically maintained Cultivating two Saber Techniques every day.
Bringing the two Saber Techniques to Major Accomplishment, then using Origin Points to elevate to Perfection.
Thereby increasing Saber Technique Foundation.
Fully three months, consuming 180 Origin Points.
Fortunately in three months, some Grandmasters captured Demons alive and exchanged Spirit Stones with Ji Qing.
Now Ji Qing’s Origin Points had not decreased but increased, surprisingly left with fully 200 points.
On the Origin Points front, Ji Qing had no worries at all.
The Grandmasters would think of every way to capture Demons alive for him.
And on the Saber Technique accumulation front.
In the recent days, Ji Qing had clearly felt his Saber Technique Foundation was extraordinarily deep.
Even, his mind constantly burst with countless ingenious ideas about Saber Techniques, especially combined with his Astonishing Swan Saber.
Ji Qing could clearly feel.
He was already very close to creating the most suitable Innate Level Saber Technique for himself.
Just short of a flash of inspiration.
Or just short of a trace of Opportunity.
Ji Qing closed his eyes, his mind flashing with scenes like a lantern show.
Even, his hands began to demonstrate one Saber Technique after another.
These Saber Techniques were all at Perfection.
Ji Qing demonstrating them was as if using an arm, completely superb, unrestrained by form.
Often in one Saber Slash, perhaps containing three to five Saber Techniques.
Ji Qing’s demonstrated Saber Techniques grew faster and faster.
He did not use any Innate True Qi.
Completely pure Saber Technique moves.
Blade Light grew faster and faster, more and more dazzling.
Ji Qing was already nearly instinctively displaying one Saber Technique after another.
And among his Saber Techniques, commonalities grew more and more.
Finally, there was nothing earth-shattering.
A flash of inspiration passed through Ji Qing’s mind.
As if Inspiration Strikes, gaining a trace of comprehension.
Ten thousand Saber Techniques, at this moment converged in his heart into one move.
“Whoosh.”
This saber was brilliant, dazzling.
Ji Qing clearly did not use Innate True Qi, yet after this saber slashed out, it naturally drove Innate True Qi, merging into the Blade Light.
Immediately, the Blade Light’s Might surged.
But this trace of Blade Light was extremely condensed.
The Void seemed to appear with streaks of black lines.
As the Blade Light slashed down, within the Blade Light, as if a piece of Heaven and Earth boomed and exploded.
“Pa.”
Ji Qing sheathed his saber.
Ji Qing stood in place for a long time, as if still savoring that saber just now.
This saber, not only speed fast to the extreme, but also incorporated Saber Intent, with the saber emerging Innate True Qi naturally driven, one saber slashed out, as if carrying a piece of Heaven and Earth.
Even more with countless Saber Technique Changes contained within.
It could be said, this was not the fastest saber.
After all, no matter how fast, how could it be faster than Flying Sword?
Flying Sword had no hilt, no need to urge with hands, speed naturally faster.
But Martial Artist Saber Techniques also had advantages.
Ji Qing’s this saber integrated Innate True Qi, Saber Intent, Saber Technique, all into one.
Moreover, extremely harmonious between them, mutually promoting, instead able to erupt even stronger Might.
“This saber is named ‘Blade One.'”
Ji Qing created a unique Innate Saber Technique belonging to himself.
He also gave the Saber Technique a name.
Blade One!
Although only one move, it was countless Saber Technique moves fused into one.
Perhaps not the strongest Innate Saber Technique, but the most suitable Innate Saber Technique for Ji Qing.
Able to fuse Ji Qing’s Saber Intent, Innate Five Elements Destruction True Qi, and countless Saber Techniques into one.
Only Ji Qing spending several months, Cultivating nearly two hundred Saber Techniques, could possibly create it.
This was almost the limit of Innate Level Saber Technique.
Ji Qing vaguely felt, after “Blade One” there might be “Saber Two” or “Saber Three,” but with his current Saber Technique accumulation, he could not derive “Saber Two” or “Saber Three” and other even more profound Saber Techniques.
Moreover, “Saber Two” or “Saber Three,” those were matters for later.
Ji Qing opened the Demon Record, checking his own situation.
Ji Qing: Innate Martial Artist(Perfection)
Blade One: Perfection(Innate Saber Technique)
Saber Intent: Major Accomplishment(60%)
Origin Points: 200 points
Three months time, besides self-creating “Blade One,” Ji Qing’s Origin Points had simply increased a lot.
The rest had no changes.
For Ji Qing, Saber Intent not reaching Perfection was a bit regrettable.
However, it was already unimportant.
He raised his head, as if able to see above his head in the hazy distance a massive “Martial Dao Gate.”
That was Heavenly Gate!
Martial Artists could only sense Heavenly Gate with sufficient Martial Dao Accumulation.
At Ji Qing’s current Cultivation, if he still wanted to advance further, there was only one way.
Push Open Martial Dao Gate, forge Dao Foundation!
Three months ago, Ji Qing still needed to wait.
He did not have full confidence to completely Push Open Martial Dao Gate.
But now, Ji Qing already had confidence.
His self-created Saber Technique was complete, everything was prepared.
However, a Martial Artist Pushing Open Heavenly Gate was a major event.
Almost the grand occasion for all Martial Artists.
Pushing Open Heavenly Gate was different from other realms.
Only needed to Push Open Heavenly Gate, Dao Foundation immediately formed!
No dangers along the way.
Moreover, others could observe.
If able to personally observe a Martial Artist “Open Heavenly Gate,” perhaps there would be some Comprehension, thereby greatly advancing Martial Dao Cultivation.
Therefore, a thousand years ago, almost every Grandmaster, if confident in “Open Heavenly Gate,” would basically publicly invite many fellow daoists to observe, a true Martial Dao grand event.
Now Martial Dao was declining.
Ji Qing felt such an opportunity could not be missed.
He had already experienced the benefits of others helping him capture Demons alive.
Sitting unmoving in Ling Xiao Pavilion Martial Arts Library, there were still endless Origin Points.
If there were more Innate Martial Artists.
Even, unifying all the world’s Martial Artists, would that not gain even more Origin Points?
Ji Qing had some ideas in his heart.
Thus, he stood up, pushed the door out, and left the Martial Arts Library.
“Mister Ji!”
Outside the Martial Arts Library, Ling Xiao Pavilion Disciples were guarding.
Ji Qing directly asked: “Where is Elder Crane?”
“Elder Crane is in Ling Xiao Pavilion Great Hall, currently receiving some Martial Artists, recently because of Mister Ji, many Martial Artists have come to Ling Xiao Pavilion…”
Ji Qing nodded: “Take me to the Great Hall.”
Thus, the guards immediately took Ji Qing to the Great Hall.
When Ji Qing stepped into the Great Hall, he discovered many Grandmasters were in the Great Hall.
Seemingly discussing some major matters.
“Swish.”
One after another gazes instantly fell on Ji Qing.
“Mister Ji?”
“This is the ‘Heavenly Saber’ Mister Ji?”
Some who had not seen Ji Qing showed surprise in their eyes.
Elder Crane even directly stood up and asked: “Mister Ji, you have come out of seclusion?”
Ji Qing nodded and said: “Yes, out of seclusion. What is this?”
“Mister Ji, you were in seclusion, so we did not disturb you. In this period, more and more Martial Artists, admiring your prestige, have come to Ling Xiao Pavilion one after another, among them not lacking some First-Rank Martial Artists, even recently breakthrough Grandmasters.”
“We were also discussing whether to establish Martial Arts Alliance? To unite all the world’s Martial Artist power together, to cope with the current increasingly complex and changeable situation.”
Ji Qing was pensive.
“Martial Arts Alliance” was not a particularly novel proposal.
Elder Crane had mentioned it before, but there was no response.
Ji Qing actually agreed in his heart to establish Martial Arts Alliance.
However, not a loose alliance, but must become a sect-like system.
After all, Ji Qing needed a large number of Demons, could not rely on him alone.
He also had to build a force.
If relying on him alone to rebuild a force, it was somewhat difficult.
But since Ling Xiao Pavilion had this idea, it was easy.
“The current situation is indeed complex and changeable, Martial Artists can no longer be scattered sand. However, just a loose alliance actually has little effect, and may even cause internal friction.”
“Ji Mou feels, better to establish a Sect, or Martial Dao Holy Land, existing in Sect form. What do you all think?”
Ji Qing’s words made everyone slightly stunned.
“Sect?”
Elder Crane had not expected Ji Qing to be even more radical than him?
Ling Xiao Pavilion only dared propose establishing Martial Arts Alliance, fearing being too radical would make many Martial Artists opposed.
But Ji Qing?
Opened mouth directly establishing a Sect.
This was to sweep all the world’s Martial Dao Sects in one net?
This difficulty was too high.
“Mister Ji, establishing a Sect all at once is not realistic, must take it step by step…”
Elder Crane said tactfully.
Actually just tactfully reminding Ji Qing.
Perhaps much later a Sect could be established.
But now still had to first establish Martial Arts Alliance, steps could not be too big, easy to have problems.
Ji Qing of course knew what Elder Crane and others were worried about.
He smiled slightly: “No harm, whether to establish Martial Arts Alliance or Sect, deciding in ten days is not late.”
“Ten days?”
Elder Crane keenly sensed something.
“Correct, ten days!”
“Moreover, must trouble Ling Xiao Pavilion everyone to widely invite world’s Martial Artists, as long as Martial Artists, all can come to Ling Xiao Pavilion in ten days, to personally observe Ji Mou ‘Open Heavenly Gate, forge Dao Foundation’.”
“Boom.”
Ji Qing’s words just fell, the entire Great Hall instantly silent.
Everyone’s eyes widened, minds booming violently, blank.
