"Where did this information co from?"
"I don’t know, it just suddenly started circulating in the Martial Realm. The Great Yan Imperial Court suppressed many martial artists for this, and although it stopped large-scale spreading, those in the know are aware of it."
Ning Qi nodded.
In that case, it wouldn’t be good to continue investigating.
After discussing for a mont, the two decided unanimously that it would be best not to wade into troubled waters. True Martial Sect has many treasures Ning Qi brought back from the Demon Sect’s headquarters. The most important thing now is to develop quietly without making any other moves.
After all, with the True Martial Sword Monunt and Tower of Ten Thousand Paths around, even if True Martial Sect disciples don’t go down the mountain, its reputation won’t be lost. Instead, it will continue to grow, and more people will feel indebted to True Martial Sect and give it face.
Ning Qi watched Luo Wentian leave.
Thinking to himself:
"If the Great Yan Martial Saint truly isn’t as formidable as before, then perhaps this could be seen as a breakthrough point for resolving the Power of Heaven and Earth issue?"
He had previously considered this direction, but the Great Yan Martial Saint’s dominance over the world for so many years probably wouldn’t be easily overco, so it’s only now that he can consider it.
He then shook his head.
Unless absolutely necessary, he didn’t intend to go down this path; the risk was too great.
Concentrating spirit and calming the mind.
Ning Qi took out the Yu King Pearl again for careful comprehension.
The blood-red color of the Yu King pearl had faded so much that it was almost restored to its original jade-like gloss.
"Today should be the day it succeeds!" Ning Qi’s eyes held so anticipation.
The days of deduction weren’t in vain; Ning Qi’s control over the Yu King Pearl was now vastly different compared to before. If the Demon Sect Grand Elder were resurrected, he would surely be astounded, having only scratched the surface of the Secret Treasure after centuries of sacrifices.
With a single thought, a blood-colored band of energy imdiately swirled around Ning Qi.
As Ning Qi’s intentions shifted, the band transford endlessly—sotis into a Heavenly Blade, sotis into a Divine Sword, sotis converging into a mountain, sotis galloping like a river. Moreover, it continued to evolve into various Exotic Beasts with diverse powers.
The intricacy of it might be beyond what the Demon Sect Grand Elder could aspire to even after a thousand years of enlightennt.
Ning Qi was quite satisfied.
He was not only studying the Dharma thod of Martial Saint power condensation but was also deducing the application of Martial Saint power. The sa Secret Treasure wielded by different hands yields drastically different potency. The other day, when the Grand Elder wielded Martial Saint power, it was a reckless, shaless explosion, very rigid, nowhere near the agility and fluidity of Ning Qi’s control. The difference in power could be several-fold.
After maneuvering for a while, Ning Qi felt a bit reluctant.
If used sparingly, this Martial Saint power could at least be wielded against the enemy a few more tis.
But without risk, there’s no reward.
His gaze gradually fird up as he began to fully activate the Yu King Pearl.
Strands of Martial Saint power surged out; the blood-colored band grew increasingly dense. Then, with a thought, he let it disperse. In an instant, the band began to collapse, turning into smoke and mist, transforming into the purest Power of Heaven and Earth, no longer retaining its previous agility until it vanished completely.
By now, the Yu King Pearl had recovered to its original Bright Jade Treasure Pearl form, emitting a gentle and soft glow.
"Breaking to establish a foundation! If not dispersed, the Martial Saint power condensed through Great Yu’s bloodline would repel the Martial Saint power condensed through my Dharma thod!"
"This attempt not only further explores the Yu King Pearl but is also an experint on the path of the Martial Saint!"
Without ample confidence, he wouldn’t have acted so decisively.
In Ning Qi’s mind, streaks of Spiritual Light flashed continuously, with the essence interweaving.
With all his might, he channelled himself, and his body began to radiate light.
In an instant.
The Three Flowers of Essence, Qi, and Spirit gathered at the top!
The energy within the Seeking Tao Institute was multiple tis more abundant.
"Power of Heaven and Earth, gather!"
Ning Qi murmured inwardly.
He recalled the Blade Demon’s realm-breaking experience, the silver pages Wu Jianghe left behind, and all his recent thoughts. Without any hesitation, a turbulent swirl of Power of Heaven and Earth converged, making the Seeking Tao Institute the vortex’s center.
In the Bright Martial Pavilion, Taoist Longshan, who was absorbing Heaven-Reaching Pill’s potency, imdiately awoke and turned towards the Seeking Tao Institute.
In the back mountain, the Blade Demon, who was in seclusion, also noticed the sudden fluctuation of the Power of Heaven and Earth and paid attention. His expression shifted, and he felt a bit excited because he sensed a fluctuation similar to that from the day he tried to break into the Martial Saint Realm.
"Could it be that Taoist Friend Tianjian has already begun his attempt?" He couldn’t help but stand up and gaze in that direction.
Fortunately, Ning Qi had prepared in advance, so the Celestial Human Realm experts studying near the True Martial Sword Monunt and Tower of Ten Thousand Paths were unaware.
Ning Qi focused intently.
The Three Flowers gathered at the top, forming a peculiar ’funnel,’ not significantly different from the one Blade Demon had gathered back then, but much stronger.
Power of Heaven and Earth stread through the ’funnel,’ seemingly ’filtered’ slightly.
Ning Qi’s Divine Intent carried a sense of oppression.
He was restraining the flow of Power of Heaven and Earth.
Despite the overwhelming urge to refine the Power of Heaven and Earth into his body, the terrifying sensation in the void warned him that the ’funnel’s ’filter’ likely wouldn’t have much effect. He commanded inwardly, and all connections instantly transferred to the Yu King Pearl in front of him.
This was precisely Ning Qi’s plan.
According to normal thinking, the next step should be refining the Power of Heaven and Earth into the body and then converging it into Martial Saint power. However, aware of the abnormalities in the Power of Heaven and Earth, he certainly wouldn’t dare; thus, he took a different approach, conveniently combining it with the Yu King Pearl.
In so respects, this was similar to the Outer Core Technique.
The inspiration indeed ca from this thod, yet the difficulty was vastly higher, even Ning Qi himself was only ninety percent confident.
Ning Qi dared not relax.
His Divine Intent continued to communicate with the Yu King Pearl, which glowed brilliantly, gentle yet powerful. Its internal special pattern began operating, strands of Power of Heaven and Earth being drawn in. Ning Qi then split his focus, starting to resonate the Power of Heaven and Earth at a particular frequency.
The Yu King Pearl’s light grew increasingly intense, akin to a small sun.
Inside the Seeking Tao Institute.
A shocking, monstrous wave.
Wave after wave of Power of Heaven and Earth converged, but without a vent, Ning Qi’s pressure mounted, fine sweat beading his forehead.
Fortunately, this deadlock didn’t last long.
All the previous deductions Ning Qi made weren’t in vain; amidst his constant adjustnts, the Yu King Pearl finally began to change!
"Buzz!"
Invisible waves spread to all corners.
The Power of Heaven and Earth pouring into the Yu King Pearl finally began to transmute and compress astronomically. Ning Qi’s spirit was invigorated, earnestly perceiving the changes, realizing that after operating special patterns inside the Yu King Pearl, so material lded in, then the vast Power of Heaven and Earth transford into strands of extraordinary Martial Saint power!
Strands of shining white power condensed within, completely distinct from the previous blood-colored band.
"It’s a success! Indeed, purely using the Power of Heaven and Earth to condense Martial Saint power differs from the Grand Elder’s use of secret techniques, consolidating the power now is more moderate and balanced. Perhaps this is the right path, simply because the Grand Elder and others couldn’t grasp it before."
"Yes, Martial Saint Secret Treasures are ant to be wielded by Martial Saints; apart from myself, others could only leverage so tricky secret techniques to provoke certain potentials, even if now I haven’t fully harnessed this Secret Treasure."
Thoughts flashed instantly, Ning Qi felt imnse joy.
Undoubtedly.
This was a milestone breakthrough.
It ant that he independently condensed Power of Heaven and Earth into Martial Saint power for the first ti, even if aided by the Secret Treasure’s power, it was still comndable.
From now on.
The Yu King Pearl is no longer a rootless wandering object, not requiring the consuming Martial Saint power bit by bit. This will greatly enhance Ning Qi’s combat ability. But most crucially, Ning Qi can unapologetically deduce and study Martial Saint power. Just by understanding the mystery of Yu King Pearl’s condensation of Martial Saint power thoroughly, the Martial Saint Realm is nearly open to him.
All he needs to do is resolve the Power of Heaven and Earth’s anomaly, then smoothly step into the Martial Saint Realm.
