Many Secrets

The old Daoist priest of Bai Shan could never understand it.

How did Ning Qi manage to reach the Perfection the Celestial Person Realm at the age of eleven? Not only that, he can also control the Martial Saint's Secret Treasure and use spiritual power with such superb skill that he is no less than these old guys.

He had no doubt that once his Spirituality was restored and he had the right method, Ning Qi would be able to easily enter the realm of Martial Saint.

"Never before in history has such a monstrous talent been seen. It's a pity and a shame. If he had appeared sooner, perhaps everything would have changed." He sighed inwardly.

Ning Qi nodded slowly, a look of realization in his eyes.

"I see. So what you want to eliminate are Martial Saint who are born through their own cultivation, not those Martial Saint are born with the help of external forces. In other words, Martial Saint who are born with the help of external forces cannot pose any threat to you?" Ning Qi turned his head to look.

The old Daoist priest from Bai Shan gave a wry smile:

"You little rascal, you're trying to trick me into talking again."

Ning Qi pouted:

"Fine, I won't ask anymore. But can't you just tell me when this so-called Spirituality resurgence is?"

The old Daoist priest of Bai Shan breathed a sigh of relief:

"That's not a problem. In about a year, the Spirituality will fully recover and erupt, and then it will reach its peak for a period of time. At that time, many miraculous changes will occur in the world. It will be a rare and precious fortuitous opportunity."

"If you could obtain the Martial Saint's Method beforehand, you could seize the opportunity to directly enter the Martial Saint realm. Due to some agreements, I cannot directly give you the Martial Saint's Method, but someone can."

Ning Qi's eyes flashed slightly:

Who is it?

The old Daoist priest from Bai Shan laughed and said:

"Your True Martial Inheritance."

Ning Qi's spirits lifted, and in an instant, many thoughts came to mind. Daoist Longshan had once told him about the location of the underground palace where he obtained the True Martial Inheritance, and he had even gone to see it in person, but he had only discovered some traces.

The old Daoist priest from Bai Shan continued:

"Your True Martial Inheritance is extraordinary. If you can establish a solid foundation with such Martial Saint techniques and seize the fortuitous opportunity of Spirituality revival, you might have a chance to soar to great heights."

There was a certain expectation in his eyes.

After Ning Qi made his move, he was already certain that Ning Qi was not a hidden trick planted by that old tortoise, but simply a lucky break. This made him somewhat jealous. This was truly a stroke of incredible luck. If he were to reincarnate and find that the True Profound Sect had such an unparalleled genius, he would probably be grinning from ear to ear.

Ning Qi asked:

Where?

The old Daoist priest of Bai Shan looked out of the mountain:

"We don't know for now, but the old tortoise will be born soon. Since your master obtained part of the True Martial Inheritance back then, he must know the location of the True Martial Hall. The True Martial Hall will definitely reappear before the Spirituality is revived. You can go there as soon as possible when that time comes."

Ning Qi nodded seriously. He didn't know who the old tortoise that the old Daoist from Bai Shan was talking about was, but he figured it was probably an ancient sage who was the source of the True Martial Inheritance, or something related to it.

He was somewhat expectant.

Although he was absolutely confident that he could create his own method to break through to the Martial Saint level, it would be better to have a reference. However, he would not place all his hopes on this. He secretly made up his mind to devote himself to studying the Martial Saint method after returning to the mountain this time.

He had originally planned to travel down the mountain to investigate the secrets behind the changes in the world, but judging from the old Bai Shan priest's attitude, it seemed that he had virtually no way to obtain the truth.

The only way is for me to reach the Martial Saint myself.

"The revival of Spirituality is a crucial turning point. Those ancient saints will likely seize this opportunity to soar to new heights and gradually recover their former realms, making them far superior to ordinary Martial Saint. If I want to catch up with them or even surpass them, I need to continuously strengthen my foundation before the revival of Spirituality." A surge of ambition rose in Ning Qi's heart.

Seeing the vastness of the world, one realizes one's own insignificance.

"Thank you very much," Ning Qi said earnestly.

The old Daoist priest from Bai Shan immediately grinned, looking refreshed and invigorated.

"It's really not easy to hear those words from you, kid. It wasn't for nothing that I had to go through all that trouble."

Ning Qi merely glanced at it sideways.

However, although we now know many secrets, the most fundamental problem has not yet been solved. We do not know what the source of the great terror hidden in the world is. From the old Daoist of Bai Shan's vague attitude, we can see that it may not affect the advancement to Martial Saint, but it may also pose some kind of hidden danger.

If possible, Ning Qi still wants to resolve this issue.

However, he did not continue to discuss the matter, but only planned to try it out secretly on his own.

The two had unknowingly stepped out of the library.

far away.

Many guests have already begun to bid farewell to the three True Person of the True Mystery Sect.

What they experienced today truly shattered their worldview. Only now did they realize that so many ancient saints had not ascended to heaven, but had survived to the present world through various means. Today's battle between several ancient saints might just be the beginning. It is foreseeable that a new era is about to arrive, and the world is about to be shaken.

They are eager to relay what happened today back to their families.

The old Daoist priest of Bai Shan stood with his hands behind his back, gazing into the distance, somewhat wistful:

"From this day forward, the world will change."

Ning Qi remained silent.

The return of the ancient sages, regardless of their purpose, will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among some of them, leading to disputes and a redistribution of interests.

He asked:

"You previously said that the lifespan of Martial Saint is only three thousand years, so how did you manage to live to this day?"

The old Daoist priest from Bai Shan remained silent for a while, his gaze slightly complicated. After a long silence, he sighed and said:

"Each has its own methods, such as reincarnation, self-sealing, or bloodline Inheritance, and perhaps other methods as well, but these three are the mainstream."

"But no matter what method you use, it has its flaws. If you're not forced to, who would be willing to do this? True mystery is not true mystery, Bai Shan is not Bai Shan, and who knows who I am now?"

That soft sigh made Ning Qi's heart sink.

He sensed a hint of confusion in their voices, and he also understood the potential dangers they might pose.

Ning Qi solemnly said:

"Whether it's Zhenxuan or Bai Shan, as long as they haven't forgotten their original intentions, that's enough."

The fact that the old Daoist priest from Bai Shan was willing to tell him so much clearly indicated his intention to mentor him, and he had some guesses as to why.

The old Daoist priest from Bai Shan was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter:

"That's right, staying true to one's original aspiration is the essence of truth."

He continued:

"The old Daoist priest and I, the bald monk Baoshu, use the method of reincarnation. We reincarnate every so often, and when our cultivation reaches the Celestial Person Realm, we regain all our memories. When our lifespan is about to end, we reincarnate again, and so on, struggling through the river of time step by step."

Ning Qi's pupils contracted.

He thought of himself.

For a moment, he wondered if he might also be a reincarnation of an ancient saint, only that he hadn't yet regained his memories. But then he shook his head. That wasn't right. He clearly remembered his past life, which was from Earth.

"What if one perishes during the reincarnation process?" Ning Qi asked.

The old Daoist priest of Bai Shan smiled nonchalantly:

"Then it's a true demise. Even if you had extraordinary abilities before, there's no chance of you reviving. However, the stronger the person, the stronger the luck and talent of their reincarnated body, so the possibility of them falling is not that great."

"Of course, there are always some unlucky ones. There were quite a few old guys back then, but those who have survived to this day need luck."

"Moreover, how could multiple reincarnations have no impact whatsoever? The memories of each life will affect one, and some people may even experience drastic personality changes and go insane."

He spoke casually, but Ning Qi was well aware of the danger involved.

"The advantage of the reincarnation method is that you awaken earlier. As for the self-sealing method, they vary. For example, that Barbarian Emperor sealed himself through his luck after falling from the Martial Saint, so he can be considered one of the earliest to awaken."

"The bloodline Inheritance method is the most dangerous, and the price to pay is enormous; it is not something ordinary people can use."

At this point, Ning Qi could clearly sense the seriousness in the old Bai Shan's eyes.

"For example, the one who appeared today is someone who has continued to this day through bloodline Inheritance, so he has been able to walk in the world and maintain his powerful strength. But the hardships he has endured are probably beyond what outsiders can understand." The old Bai Shan shook his head, his eyes filled with admiration.

Ning Qi said softly:

"The lineage of the Heaven-Slaying Martial Saint?"

The old Daoist priest from Bai Shan was astonished:

"You know?"

Ning Qi nodded:

"We met once before, and this old man seemed to be subtly or overtly giving me pointers, but at the time I knew very little and didn't realize it. When I stopped the Buddha of the Precious Tree just now, he must have recognized me."

"I see." The old Daoist priest Bai Shan suddenly understood. "Strictly speaking, he cannot be considered a Heaven-Slaying Martial Saint, but in some ways, he is a continuation of the Heaven-Slaying Martial Saint. You will understand later."

Ning Qi nodded slightly, understanding that this must involve that unspeakable secret again, and immediately did not ask any further questions.

The two strolled leisurely into the sky, looking down at the layers of clouds.

After they stopped hiding their identities, they became even more open and could speak freely. Ning Qi felt a long-lost sense of ease, as this was the first time he had completely revealed his strength in front of outsiders.

The two continued chatting, but it was mostly Ning Qi asking questions and the old Daoist priest from Bai Shan answering.

Before he knew it, the sun had set, and Ning Qi let out a long breath, feeling that he had benefited greatly.

I've always been groping my way forward in the dark, but now that someone is guiding me, the feeling is naturally different. Many fogs have been cleared away, and the road ahead has suddenly become much clearer.

"Thank you," Ning Qi said softly.

The old Daoist priest from Bai Shan didn't laugh or joke; he simply nodded slightly and patted Ning Qi on the shoulder.

"Work hard, I have high hopes for you. If those old guys knew you existed, they'd be shocked."

As he spoke, he chuckled again.

Ning Qi simply chuckled, and then said:

"So, all you're going to do next is wait for the Spirituality to revive at Zhenxuan Mountain?"

The old Daoist priest from Bai Shan simply shook his head.

"Originally, the purpose of holding this Celestial Person Ceremony was to see if any old friends would come. I didn't expect to see that old bald monk Baoshu instead. It's really unlucky. But it doesn't matter. I'll just have to start this new era myself. There are some things I still need to do."

Ning Qi did not press further.

"If you need any help from me, please feel free to write to me."

The old Daoist priest from Bai Shan nodded with a smile. It's hard to say what will happen in the future, but Ning Qi's current combat power is comparable to that of an ancient saint. If something really happens, he would indeed be a valuable asset.

Ning Qi strode away.

The voice of the old Daoist priest from Bai Shan came from behind:

"Young Ning, I'll have those Daoist sects send you some Daoist scriptures later."

Ning Qi's lips slowly curved into a smile. They had agreed to plunder all the Daoist sects in the world together. Now that the old Daoist of Bai Shan's identity had been exposed, he only needed to give a slight hint, and those Daoist sects would naturally offer up their Daoist scriptures. He waved his hand behind him without looking back.

A moment later.

Ning Qi met the anxious members of the True Martial Sect.

They were preparing to leave when they discovered that Ning Qi was missing.

However, Daoist Longshan remained relatively calm. He had already guessed some of the reason, and Ning Qi gave him a look, at which point he immediately understood. He waved his hand to stop the crowd from asking further questions.

"Now that Little Nine is back, let's go back."

The group walked out.

True Person Baiye and the others immediately came forward. Their attitude was extremely friendly, even more so than when they first came up the mountain. They looked at Daoist Longshan with a hint of amazement, because Daoist Longshan had demonstrated great strength and protected many guests when dealing with the aftermath of the ancient saints' battle.

"I was busy today and couldn't properly entertain you, True Person. Please forgive me. Why don't you stay a few more days?" Master Bai True Person urged him to stay. He had a feeling that Daoist Longshan might surpass him before long, which made him a little uneasy. After all, Daoist Longshan had only been in the Celestial Person Realm for a few years, and his talent was terrifying.

Daoist Longshan simply waved his hand and laughed:

"We have already troubled you for several days. Now that the True Lord has returned, there will likely be great changes in the world. Longshan can only return to True Martial Mountain to prepare for the future. We will come to consult with the True Lord in person when we have time!"

The members of the True Mystery Sect hurriedly returned the greeting.

After exchanging pleasantries, the Zhenxuan Sect members watched the True Martial Sect group descend the mountain.

True Person Baihe couldn't help but sigh:

"A few years ago, I attended Real Person Dragon Mountain's Celestial Person Ceremony, but I never imagined that he would have improved so much in such a short time. It's truly shameful. In my opinion, he already possesses the strength of the Celestial Person Ranking. Such a speed of improvement is truly terrifying!"

The others nodded in agreement.

A voice said calmly:

"He's not just at the Celestial Person Ranking level; it probably won't be long before he reaches the Celestial Person Perfection."

The True Person present were all stunned and stood there dumbfounded.

Perfection Celestial Person?

This goes beyond mere talent; to transform from the initial stage of the Celestial Person Realm to the Perfection Celestial Person in just a few years—what kind of extraordinary fortuitous opportunity would that require?

Then everyone immediately realized:

"Greetings, True Lord!"

The one who spoke was naturally the old Daoist from Bai Shan. He glanced at the True Martial Sect members and casually waved his hand.

"The True Martial Sect is not simple. We must cultivate good relations with them in the future and not take advantage of my existence to act superior."

All three True Person felt a chill run down their spines:

"Yes, True Lord!"

They had many guesses in their hearts and were secretly shocked. The True Lord's attitude could not be just because of Daoist Longshan. It could only mean that there was someone in the True Martial Sect who was more important to the True Lord. A name appeared in their minds at the same time.

Heavenly Sword Real Person.

The old Daoist priest from Bai Shan sighed softly again:

"You should all cultivate diligently over the next year. I will go out and seek out some fortuitous opportunity for you. If any of you can reach the realm of Celestial Person Perfection within a year, I will bestow upon them a great fortune."

All three were burning with passion.
