This Child Is Quite Monstrous

Ning Qi observed carefully, his eyes growing increasingly astonished. Unconsciously, a golden light appeared in his eyes. Looking at the strange mountain in the clouds, he seemed to see cranes taking flight, as if they were about to ascend to heaven.

He had previously used his Golden Eyes of Truth to observe the aura of True Martial Mountain, which resembled a divine sword descending from the sky, but it paled in comparison to the ascension of the crane before him.

"This is truly a mysterious mountain... its grandeur is extraordinary!" he praised in a low voice.

The closer you get, the more you can see its extraordinary qualities.

The saying that mountains and rivers nourish people is not without merit. Some places are blessed with natural beauty and natural wonders, and staying there year-round can bring immense benefits.

Li Ling nodded in agreement:

"The scenery of Zhenxuan Mountain is indeed beautiful; there are very few places in the Great Flame region that can compare with it."

The group was all somewhat amazed.

This is the significance of going out to broaden one's horizons; otherwise, if one remained confined to True Martial Mountain, one would be unaware of the vastness of the world.

The Daoist Longshan smiled and stroked his beard:

This involves a rumor.

Everyone turned to look at him, and Zhuang Chen hurriedly said:

"Master, what rumors are you talking about?"

The Daoist Longshan looked around at everyone and gently commented:

"Since you've already decided to come to the True Profound Sect, how can you not learn about its various aspects beforehand? You should all reflect on this."

Everyone felt ashamed.

Only Ning Qi wore a smile.

"Little Nine, why don't you talk to them?"

Ning Qi said:

"As you all know, the True Mystery Sect was founded by True Mystery True Lord. There are many Daoist sects in the world, but if we trace their Inheritance, I'm afraid none can surpass the True Mystery Sect. Although it may seem to rank only fifth among all Daoist sects, in terms of the longevity of its Inheritance, it is far inferior to even the Yin-Yang Sect, which is considered the number one Daoist sect."

"However, according to legend, the establishment of the True Mystery True Lord's sect on True Mystery Mountain was fraught with difficulties."

Everyone's curiosity was piqued.

The sound of the rolling cart had a certain rhythm.

A loud laugh came from afar:

"I didn't expect that young Ning Qi would be so knowledgeable about the history of our True Profound Sect."

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.

Then a group of white-robed Daoists with flowing cloud and gold patterns on their sleeves came along. The one in the lead was none other than True Person Baihe.

The Daoist Longshan quickly performed a Daoist bow:

"I have met True Person Baihe and many other fellow Daoists."

True Person Baihe quickly returned the greeting:

"Real Person Dragon Mountain has come from afar, and I am deeply grateful. My senior brother is currently bathing, changing clothes, burning incense, and concentrating his mind; please excuse him."

Everyone smiled, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

In recent years, the relationship between the True Martial Sect and the Zhenxuan Sect has been very harmonious, with frequent interactions between their disciples.

True Person Baihe glanced at Ning Qi discreetly. He recalled what Daoist Baishan had said a few days ago and was still somewhat shocked. This boy had already reached the White Mist Realm three years ago, but now he wondered what realm he had reached. Could he have already reached the Jade Liquid Realm or even the Yuan Pill Realm?

But to his surprise, no matter how he investigated, he couldn't see through the truth.

Meeting Ning Qi's gentle gaze, he smiled back, inwardly marveling.

This boy is indeed extraordinary!

Walking side by side with Daoist Longshan, True Person Baihe continued the topic that Ning Qi had not finished:

"When the Ancestral Master True Lord established the Zhenxuan Sect, there were indeed some twists and turns. To be precise, the Zhenxuan Mountain was something the Ancestral Master True Lord seized."

He wore a mocking smile.

"Back then, when True Lord discovered Zhenxuan Mountain, he wasn't alone; he had a companion, a Buddha. The two were originally friends, but they had a falling out when they passed through Zhenxuan Mountain."

"At that time, Mount Zhenxuan nurtured a wondrous tree that bore fruit only once every hundred years. Logically, it should have been shared between the two of them. However, the Buddha claimed that he was destined to have this fruit and hoped that the True Lord would give it to him."

"The True Lord was originally a carefree person, but when the Buddha said that, he became unwilling to give in. The two argued endlessly and eventually came to blows."

"Of course, this Buddha was no match for the True Lord. He was driven away by the True Lord, True Lord became increasingly angry. To prevent the Buddha from secretly finding him again, the True Lord simply named the mountain True Mystery Mountain and established the True Mystery Sect there!"

Everyone smiled knowingly.

This True Mysterious True Lord is quite a remarkable person.

I can give it to you, but you can't ask for it. Otherwise, I won't give it to you even if you feed it to a dog.

Ning Qi chuckled, somewhat surprised. He only knew that Zhenxuan Mountain had been snatched from someone else, but he didn't know that the other opponent was a Buddha. A Buddha is Martial Saint in Buddhism, equally powerful.

However, in the current Great Flame, Daoism is flourishing, while Buddhism is somewhat weak.

Throughout the long river of history.

Daoism and Buddhism have always been rivals. Sometimes Daoism flourishes, sometimes Buddhism shines, and sometimes both Buddhism and Daoism coexist. Such times often lead to conflicts between Daoism and Buddhism.

True Person Baihe continued:

"After the True Lord established the True Mystery Sect here, that wondrous tree became the sect's most treasured artifact. Unfortunately... as time passed and later generations proved incompetent, the wondrous tree was lost in a certain generation."

He felt somewhat regretful.

Daoist Longshan comforted him, saying:

"The True Mystery Inheritance has such a long history that some setbacks are to be expected. The important thing is that the Inheritance has not been interrupted, and that is enough to be worthy of our founder."

He remembered the True Martial Inheritance.

In the past, the True Martial Inheritance must have been extremely glorious, but it also fell into disrepair. The current reconstruction of the True Martial Sect can only be described as a continuation, but strictly speaking, it has no connection with the original True Martial Sect anymore.

True Person Baihe waved his hand with a smile.

He began to earnestly introduce the various scenic spots of Zhenxuan Mountain to everyone.

Keep moving forward.

The numerous Daoist palaces rise and fall, exuding a restrained charm, their splendor lying within.

The disciples were filled with awe. What they saw and heard demonstrated the profound strength of the True Profound Sect. Only then did they realize that no martial arts sect in the world could be underestimated. With this thought, their slight restlessness gradually subsided, and they felt ashamed.

Daoist Longshan nodded secretly.

During this period, the True Martial Sect developed extremely rapidly. Coupled with the renowned reputation of Heavenly Sword Real Person, many True Martial Sect disciples inevitably developed arrogance and complacency. Some even believed that everyone else in the world was nothing special, and that the True Martial Sect could perhaps already be called the number one sect in the world.

However, it should be understood that no matter how powerful Heavenly Sword Real Person is, it is only his own power. Even though the True Martial Sect has infinite potential, it is still accumulating strength.

Witnessing the true strength of the Zhenxuan Sect this time is enough to make many disciples introspect, and it is a good thing that they will bring what they have seen and heard back to True Martial Mountain.

This is the significance of experience.

But Ning Qi's focus was clearly not on that. After entering Zhenxuan Mountain, he carefully sensed the atmosphere and momentum within, and his heart grew increasingly solemn. He vaguely sensed that the crane's momentum was truly as if it had come to life!

"The True Mystery Sect has unparalleled experts!" Ning Qi said with certainty.

This phenomenon is a result of human effort merging with the heavens, unknowingly altering one's destiny, and will become increasingly apparent over time.

They are at least at the level of a sword demon, and perhaps even more.

However, Ning Qi had no intention of investigating further.

Everyone has their own secrets; there's no need to search for everything.

soon.

We arrived at the inn, whose buildings and palaces were quite impressive.

True Person Baihe had just exchanged a few pleasantries with Daoist Longshan when a disciple immediately came to report.

True Person Baihe apologized:

"Fellow Daoist Longshan, the grand ceremony begins the day after tomorrow. Please feel free to do as you please these next two days. If you wish to wander around, just tell Qingling, and he will show you the way."

The young Daoist priest beside him quickly performed a Daoist bow.

Daoist Longshan understood perfectly. He had organized the Celestial Person Ceremony before and knew the extent of the effort involved. Moreover, the True Martial Sect Celestial Person Realm was not well-known at that time, and there were not many Celestial Realm experts who came to support them. Given the current activities of the Zhenxuan Sect, there were probably a dozen or twenty Celestial Person Realm experts. Baihe True Person's hasty departure clearly indicated that another Celestial Person Realm expert had arrived.

He felt a surge of emotion, as if his own Celestial Person Ceremony had just taken place yesterday.

The disciples of the True Martial Sect put down their luggage and chatted in hushed tones, their words filled with anticipation for the Celestial Person Ceremony in two days.

After tidying up, they traveled together, guided by a disciple of Zhenxuan, to tour the area.

Only Ning Qi and Daoist Longshan remained at the inn.

Ning Qi held the Daoist scripture in his hands, his thoughts wandering.

The different environment gave him a different State of Mind. On this journey, although he seemed to be focused on the Daoist scriptures, he was actually more aware of the surrounding situation than others. He gained a lot and felt that his mind had been greatly broadened.

"Read ten thousand books and travel ten thousand miles; this is indeed the way to go."

He continued to ponder the power of the Martial Saint, but did not take out the Yu King Pearl to study it carefully. After all, this was someone else's territory, and it was more appropriate to keep a low profile.

I don't know how much time has passed.

Ning Qi felt a slight jolt, snapping him out of his state of enlightenment.

He raised an eyebrow, then regained his composure.

Not long after.

A somewhat shifty-eyed old Daoist priest in purple robes crept in furtively. He grinned, silently slipped behind Ning Qi, and then gently patted him on the back.

"Little one, you still really enjoy reading Daoist scriptures."

Ning Qi pretended to be startled, and instinctively swung the Daoist scripture behind him, causing the smiling old Daoist to take a solid hit.

"Oh dear, you little brat, you have no respect for elders!" He pointed at Ning Qi with a bitter face, unsure whether to scold him or not, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

Ning Qi smiled and said:

"So it's you, old Daoist priest. I thought a petty thief had entered your True Mystery Sect. Please forgive me."

Daoist Baishan so angry he wanted to grind his teeth.

He always felt that Ning Qi was doing it on purpose, but he couldn't produce any evidence.

"You little rascal!" He pointed at Ning Qi with his finger, and finally laughed.

The Daoist Baishan reached out and took a snow pear from the table, then began to eat it with gusto.

Ning Qi laughed:

"True Person Baihe said you were bathing, changing clothes, burning incense, and calming your mind. How did you end up here?"

Daoist Baishan curled his lip:

"All these tedious rules are bullshit! I heard you were coming, so I immediately slipped out. Where's the little White Ape? You little brat, are you afraid I'll steal the little White Ape? You didn't even bring him along for such a fun activity!"

Ning Qi merely glanced at him sideways, focusing intently on the Daoist scripture in his hands.

However, deep down, he let out a surprised exclamation.

It's just because... the Daoist Baishan from Baishan in front of me is a bit strange.

He simply couldn't see through it.

Logically speaking, with his current strength, a mere newly promoted Celestial Person Realm cultivator shouldn't be able to escape his discerning eyes. However, the aura of the Daoist Baishan was somewhat strange, resembling that of the Celestial Person Realm, yet not quite.

"This old Daoist is indeed quite peculiar." He recalled the old Daoist's joking remark, something about entering the Celestial Person, directly pointing to the Martial Saint, and becoming invincible in the world just around the corner. However, he didn't want to investigate further; it was someone else's secret.

But Ning Qi was unaware of this.

The old Daoist priest opposite him was equally surprised.

Because he couldn't see through Ning Qi in front of him.

"This little brat is incredibly cunning! Three years ago, I could tell he was only at the White Mist Realm, how did he become so unfathomable after three years? He's a demon, truly a demon!" He clicked his tongue in amazement.

After all, he is not the same as before. He has not only awakened his innate wisdom, but he has also begun to awaken his power level. However, he can no longer figure out Ning Qi's true strength.

This truly surprised him.

However, he was magnanimous by nature, and after secretly praising him, he didn't take it to heart. What he valued most about Ning Qi was not his cultivation level, but his Dao Emulates Own Inherent Spontaneity demeanor. Only Ning Qi dared to give him attitude like this and do whatever he wanted, which made him very happy.

Seeing that Ning Qi was ignoring him and focusing all his attention on the Daoist scriptures, he realized that Ning Qi was ignoring him and focusing on the scriptures.

The old Daoist priest from Bai Shan chuckled and said:

"Young one, now that this old Daoist has reached the Celestial Person Realm, do you regret misjudging me?"

He was quite smug.

Ning Qi simply responded with a curt "oh."

The old Daoist priest from Bai Shan immediately became anxious.

"This is the Celestial Person Realm Celestial Person Realm! One in a billion! If you say a few nice words to me, I'll protect you and guarantee you'll be able to run rampant throughout the world!"

Ning Qi turned two pages of the Daoist scripture and slowly said:

"Your breakthrough to the Celestial Person Realm brings me no benefit, so what does it matter to me whether you reach the Celestial Person Realm or not?"

The old Daoist priest from Bai Shan was stunned.

It seems... that's the logic?

He immediately shook his head and said:

"No, how is this none of your business? Have you forgotten our agreement? Once I reach the Celestial Person Realm, I'll take you to plunder all the Daoist sects in the world, and we'll split the spoils! After the Celestial Person Ceremony, we'll be..."

Ning Qi used the Daoist scripture this round.

He smiled faintly:

"I don't want the flatbread."

The old Daoist priest from Bai Shan is getting anxious again:

"Who's making empty promises to you? I'm seriously discussing a grand undertaking with you! A grand undertaking, do you understand? What, you don't believe in my strength? Let me tell you, even though I've just stepped into the Celestial Person Realm, the vast majority of the Celestial Person Realm in the world can't beat me."

He said this with a hint of pride.

But Ning Qi just looked at him calmly, as if watching his performance.

The old Daoist priest from Bai Shan was so anxious that he scratched his head and cheeks.

"No, why don't you believe me?"

Ning Qi was about to open the Daoist scriptures again.

The old Daoist priest from Bai Shan quickly closed the box.

"Tell me, what will it take for you to believe me?"

Ning Qi said calmly:

"Since you're going to take me to plunder all the Daoist sects in the world, then the True Mystery Sect is also among them. What do you mean?"

The old Daoist priest from Bai Shan was stunned.

What a unique angle!

But then he laughed.

"That makes sense. Come on, I'll take you to the True Mystery Sect's Scripture Repository right now!"

"Really going?"

This time, Ning Qi was stunned. He had only meant to tease the old Daoist priest, but had he actually gone for it?

The old Daoist priest from Bai Shan felt a sense of pride and satisfaction.

"I'll go right now! Would I lie to you?"

As he spoke, he grabbed Ning Qi's sleeve and sneaked out.

A moment later.

The two sneaked into the scripture library, and the old Daoist priest from Bai Shan waved his hand, causing several Daoist priests guarding the library in the shadows to fall into a deep sleep.

Ning Qi's eyes lit up as he looked at the vast collection of scriptures inside.

Good heavens, the True Mystery Sect is truly wealthy!
