Formless Gang Body, the Heaven-Human Ranking Updates (Two-in-One)

The matter of dao companion was quickly glossed over, after all, there were still two "little Daoists" present: Ning Qi and Zhuang Chen.

The second disciple Xiong Shi, brought up another matter:

"Senior Brother, when is the next ranking of all Daoist sects in the world? How are the preparations going?"

All eyes turned to them.

Although the True Martial Sect has now received a Daoist jade plaque bestowed by the Great Flame Dynasty, if it wants to gain recognition from all over the world and become a top Daoist sect renowned throughout the land, it still has to enter the ranking of Daoist sects.

The world's top Daoist sects only adopt the number nine.

Countless Daoist sects covet this position, and many have strived generation after generation to gain entry into it, including the True Martial Sect.

But this is difficult; even the ninth-ranked candidate needs sufficient foundation.

If we include the Heavenly Sword Real Person, the True Martial Sect currently has enough top-tier combat power, but in terms of foundation, it is slightly lacking. After all, it has only been established for a few decades. If anyone wants to join, they have to make up for it from other sources. After all, the Daoist sects that are already in it don't want to be squeezed out, so there will inevitably be friction.

In fact.

Over the years, very few top Daoist sects have been squeezed out.

Luo Wentian:

"The specific time hasn't been determined yet; it depends on the intentions of those nine Daoist sects. With the foundation of our True Martial Sect, we can now give it a shot, but it's just an attempt. After the True Martial Peach Gathering, I will go to Daozhou to communicate with the Zhenxuan Sect and see how things are going."

Everyone raised their glasses to toast Luo Wentian.

Over the years, Luo Wentian has sacrificed a lot for the development of the True Martial Sect. Recently, Daoist Longshan has been discussing with Luo Wentian about passing on his position to him, but Luo Wentian is still hesitant. He is worried that his cultivation level is not high enough and he will disgrace the prestige of the True Martial Sect.

However, everyone knows that Luo Wentian taking over the position is only a matter of time.

He was the most qualified person in the entire True Martial Sect.

Ning Qi was aware of this matter. He had considered some ways to help Luo Wentian break through quickly, but there were not many shortcuts in martial arts. He could only try his best to make Luo Wentian's cultivation smoother and faster, but he couldn't make a big breakthrough in a short period of time.

I heard about the True Mystery Sect.

Ning Qi's heart stirred, and he remembered the old Daoist from Bai Shan.

He laughed:

"If you ever reach the True Profound Sect, please check on Daoist Bai Shan. Is he getting closer and closer to the Celestial Person Realm?"

Everyone laughed. They had also heard the rumors about the old Daoist priest from Bai Shan harassing their junior brother at True Martial Mountain. When White Ape heard about the shameless old Daoist priest, he couldn't help but roll his eyes. He was still resentful that the old Daoist priest had tried to abduct him.

The group then began discussing the various preparations needed for the Daoist order.

Inevitably, the Heavenly Sword Real Person will be mentioned.

The fourth disciple, He Yan, thought for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up:

"Judging by the time, the Great Flame Heaven-Human Ranking, which is updated every three years, should be up soon. If Senior Tianjian can make the list, our chances of entering the Daoist ranking will be much greater."

Everyone looked excited.

"That makes sense. I hope that Senior Tianjian can be included on the list."

He only ranked thirty-sixth on the Great Flame Heaven-Human Ranking.

Sometimes, the strength of those ranked 36th and 37th may not differ much, but the world only remembers the strong on the Celestial Person Ranking, whose fame is much lower.

Ning Qi smiled, but felt somewhat helpless inside.

If he could, he really wouldn't want to be on this list of Celestial Person, as it would bring unnecessary trouble, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Everyone eagerly awaited the update of the Celestial Person Ranking.

During this time, Zhuang Chen also expressed his admiration for Heavenly Sword Real Person, and even said without hesitation that he would take Heavenly Sword Real Person as his goal and become such an unparalleled swordsman in the future.

They all nodded with smiles.

Zhuang Chen's talent is evident to all, especially in Sword Dao.

He spontaneously demonstrated a set of Swordsmanship with great flair. Although it was the same Swordsmanship, it had a unique charm. At such a young age, he already possessed the demeanor of a master. This amazed Luo Wentian and the others, who praised his Innate Sword Bone as truly extraordinary.

Ning Qi chuckled softly.

If Zhuang Chen perseveres, reaching the Celestial Person Realm will be a natural progression. With such talent, becoming a Sword Saint is not impossible, especially after his sword bones are broken and rebuilt.

Happy times are always fleeting.

Many fellow disciples stayed until late at night before reluctantly leaving.

Ning Qi saw him off, pointing to the young tea tree seedling that was already as tall as his calves:

"If everything goes smoothly next year, perhaps I can drink the Enlightenment Tea."

Everyone's eyes lit up, filled with anticipation.

"Don't worry, Little Nine, for the sake of this cup of Enlightenment Tea, we'll do our best to find out as many secrets about the Martial Saint as possible!" Everyone patted their chests and promised, all eager to get started.

Ye Qinghe also said:

"I'll go back to that town again and see if I can get any more information from that blind old man."

Ning Qi did not try to stop him; he couldn't very well say that he had already been to the town and that the old man might have already passed away.

He just smiled and nodded.

Zhuang Chen listened, secretly keeping this in mind. He would immediately tell Ning Qi if he had any relevant information in the future, as he would always remember Ning Qi's kindness to him.

Watching everyone leave, Ning Qi smiled, feeling at peace. Spending time with his senior brothers and sisters always made him feel more relaxed.

The slight impact of the recent series of killings has completely vanished.

After the True Martial Peach Gathering.

Several True Disciple went down the mountain one after another to gain experience, which gradually became their habit. Jiang Baishan, in particular, was the first to go down the mountain, which made him the subject of much teasing from the crowd.

Ning Qi's life, on the other hand, continued to return to its previous routine.

Cultivating oneself step by step, reading scriptures and seeking enlightenment, and watering the Enlightenment Tea Tree while watching the seedling grow day by day is a unique kind of enjoyment.

Ning Qi also gained a lot of inspiration during this process.

But now...

He devoted a large part of his energy to creating the secret technique of condensing Gang Qi clones.

After Ning Qi broke through to the Jade Liquid Realm and sensed a greater degree of spirituality within his Gang Qi, he had already begun to have this idea. In fact, Ning Qi's current Gang Qi clone was already quite strong.

now.

Ning Qi pointed his finger, and his inner Gang Qi poured out, instantly condensing into a ferocious thunder tiger with wings on its ribs. The thunder tiger was crackling with electricity, and its wings were like blades. It looked just like the real thunder tiger beast king, except that it was not as agile as the real beast king.

Even the most spiritually potent Gang Qi still has its limitations.

If it's only for combat, this level of capability is certainly sufficient.

But Ning Qi was not satisfied.

"There are quite a few forces eyeing True Martial Mountain now. The Demon Sect and the Southern Frontier Alliance are both behemoths. Even if they only spare a little attention, we have to be careful. Heavenly Sword Real Person is hiding in the shadows, but sooner or later he will be forced to come out."

"Although I can disguise myself and take his place, it's not entirely foolproof. If there were situations where both ' Heavenly Sword Real Person ' and I were required to be present, it would be an admission of guilt."

Ning Qi was very clear-headed.

In particular, He Yan's recent mention of the upcoming update to the Celestial Person Ranking reminded him that if Heavenly Sword Real Person were to be listed, it might cause trouble.

"Currently, if the Gang Qi clones are merely simulating Mutant Beast, it's fine. However, if they are to solidify into human form and exist indistinguishably for a period of time, we still need to continue our efforts."

A constant stream of inspiration flowed through Ning Qi's mind, like a rushing river.

With a flick of his finger, half of the surface of the Jade Liquid Sea collapsed.

An incredibly powerful Gang Qi condensed into a ball in the void, then stretched continuously until it took on a human shape. It then rapidly changed, condensing facial features and other human characteristics. With Ning Qi's mastery of the Form-Shifting and Bone-Transforming Technique, this was not difficult; he could even simulate human skin and bones with his Gang Qi.

Looking at the elderly man in front of him, dressed in a Daoist robe and exuding an air of otherworldly grace, Ning Qi fell into deep thought.

The old man's pupils were indifferent, showing little emotion, but most importantly, he was merely putting on a show for himself; a fierce battle might cause him to collapse.

"Perhaps, it lacks a core element."

Ning Qi's eyes lit up.

He manipulated his Gang Qi, and a Yuan Pill instantly condensed within the "old man's" body. With his prior experience in the Virtual Sword Core Disintegration Technique, this was even easier for Ning Qi.

Ning Qi carefully perceived it.

It was obvious that after the Yuan Pill was formed, the Gang Qi clone became much more solid.

"It seems there's still a slight deficiency, but it's not a big problem. If we use the Azure Profound Body Protection Technique to lock in the Gang Qi, it will not only provide a defensive effect but also eliminate the worry about the clone disintegrating!"

Ning Qi sat beside the Enlightenment Tea Tree, his mind constantly sparking new inspiration.

All the secret techniques he had created in the past surfaced in his mind, and he continuously absorbed their essence. The Daoist scriptures he had read in the past also provided inspiration. Ning Qi constantly corrected the shortcomings of his Gang Qi clone, and the aura of his Gang Qi clone became more and more powerful and stable.

"Based on the spirituality of Gang Qi, using the form-shifting and bone-changing technique, taking the Virtual Sword Pill Disintegration Technique as the core, and then using Qingxuan Body Protection Technique to stabilize its state, this formless Gang Body is complete!"

Ning Qi was overjoyed.

An elderly man with white hair, dressed in a Daoist robe, sat opposite him without saying a word. If someone were to see him from a distance, they would think that someone was playing chess with Ning Qi.

"Greetings, fellow Daoist!" Ning Qi laughed and bowed.

But the old man remained silent, his eyes utterly indifferent.

Ning Qi wasn't surprised; he hadn't expected a response anyway.

This Gang Qi clone is merely a condensation of Gang Qi; it's not a truly intelligent clone. It was just Ning Qi playing around with it.

"The experiment just now showed that the Formless Body requires at least 20% of my Gang Qi to condense, and at most 80 Gang Qi. The strength varies from person to person, but even 20 Gang Qi is far beyond what other martial artists can achieve."

Without a doubt.

This is another secret technique that only Ning Qi can use. No one else has such a vast amount of Gang Qi, not even those at the Yuan Pill Realm.

Ning Qi waved gently.

The clone of his Gang Qi shot off into the distance. He carefully sensed it, and through the connection between the Gang Qi, he was able to fully perceive the clone's specific situation and control it. Even sitting in the Dao-Seeking Courtyard, Ning Qi could secretly control the clone of his Gang Qi to use various secret techniques such as the Heavenly Sword Technique.

This is the wonder of the Gang Qi clone; it can share the power of heaven and earth controlled by Ning Qi.

A moment later.

Ning Qi 'Gang Qi clone returned to the Dao-Seeking Courtyard, and he finally received the answer.

"If my clones are more than ten miles away from me, they will become uncontrollable and dissipate. The optimal distance is five miles."

Ning Qi smiled and dissipated his Gang Qi clone.

Although the clone cannot possess his full strength, if he expends more of his internal Gang Qi, it is enough to unleash most of his power, which is sufficient for the time being.

After all, if it really came down to a life-or-death situation, he wouldn't care about being exposed or not.

I'll take care of it myself then.

Having solved a difficult problem, Ning Qi breathed a sigh of relief, feeling somewhat satisfied. He lay back in his rattan chair and happily began to peruse another Daoist scripture.

Time passed.

In the sweltering summer heat, Ning Qi had already consumed his third Blood Jade Pill, further enhancing his strength.

Under the combined effects of the Blood Jade Pill and the Great Tempering Technique of Heaven and Earth, his cultivation speed increased by leaps and bounds. His Jade Liquid Sea expanded every moment, becoming deeper and more solid. Once it reached its peak, it would begin to condense the Yuan Pill.

Even Ning Qi himself was somewhat looking forward to how powerful he would become after stepping into the Yuan Pill Realm; perhaps few in the Celestial Person Realm would be his match.

While cultivating, Ning Qi also kept an eye on the movements of the Blood Rain Tower and other organizations. There were still some minor figures he had overlooked, but in order not to expose Ning Qi did not completely eliminate them. Leaving them around could be used to deduce the movements of the Southern Frontier Alliance.

But what puzzled him was...

Several months have passed, and there has been no action from the Southern Xinjiang Alliance.

It's unclear whether they didn't realize the fat and thin elders were dead, or if they did but temporarily went into hiding.

Ning Qi simply advised Daoist Longshan to be more cautious, and to let things take their course. Actively investigating would only be an admission of guilt, and the other party might be waiting for him to walk right into their trap.

The better option now is to remain inactive; all that's needed is to be more vigilant.

Speaking of Daoist Longshan...

I've been quite busy lately.

He wasn't busy with his own cultivation; after all, progress in the Celestial Person Realm is very slow, and even with Daoist Longshan's exceptional talent, he still needed time to accumulate experience.

Daoist Longshan was busy instructing Zhuang Chen.

He finally understood the joy of teaching geniuses. They grasped concepts instantly and could apply them to other situations. The exhilaration was indescribable. More importantly, he could maintain his authority as a teacher, which made him feel incredibly proud.

This reminded him of when he was teaching Ning Qi.

That was something I absolutely didn't want to recall.

Back then, he suffered repeated setbacks under Ning Qi's command, and within a short period of time, he was already overwhelmed and felt completely drained. In the end, he could only do as much logistical work as possible.

Ning Qi isn't just a genius, he's a prodigy.

Sometimes it's not good if a disciple's talent is too low, as teaching them can be incredibly frustrating. But having too much talent isn't pleasant either, as it brings no sense of accomplishment. Zhuang Chen's talent is just right.

Ning Qi once visited his master and saw his enthusiastic expression, which made him smile.

He knew that his master had been holding back for years, and now that he had gained a bright disciple, he naturally wanted to impart all his knowledge to him.

Life on True Martial Mountain was peaceful and comfortable.

If possible, Ning Qi hoped to continue like this until he became invincible.

Unfortunately, things are always changing and don't always go as planned.

The fourth disciple He Yan, rushed back to True Martial Mountain overnight, bringing back some major news.

The Great Flame Heaven-Human Ranking has been updated!
