Invitation

Black Sand Sea.

This is a coastal area of Great Flame.

A small Small Island, shrouded in mist and towering over the sea, suddenly appeared in the ocean. The first to discover it were a group of fishermen who made their living in this area year-round and knew the situation best. They never expected such a strange Small Island to suddenly appear.

At first, they were somewhat apprehensive, but after an old man suggested that it might be High Antiquity Ruins, everyone became excited.

The exploration begins.

However, they discovered that no matter what methods they used, they could not get close to this foggy area; as soon as they went a little deeper, they would inexplicably leave in another direction.

As time went by, some people lost patience and eventually decided to sell the information for profit.

A martial arts sect discovered this place.

After a struggle for interests, news of the misty Small Island finally spread.

The Canghai Sword Sect, located near the coast, arrived immediately.

Although he was defeated by the Blade Demon, he was still a top expert at the peak of the Three Flowers Perfection, ranked sixth on the Celestial Person Ranking, and not far from the ultimate realm of Sword Dao. Although an ancient saint has returned, in the eyes of most martial artists, he is still seen with regret. The Canghai Sword Sect rushed into the misty area and finally landed on the Small Island. Everyone thought that the Canghai Sword Sect would be the first to take the plunge.

but.

To everyone's surprise, just half an hour later, the Canghai Sword Sect withdrew from the Small Island, and even appeared somewhat disheveled.

His gaze was complex, seemingly a mixture of resentment and amazement, clearly indicating a complicated situation.

Someone couldn't help but muster the courage to ask:

"May I ask, Lord Sword Sect Master, what is contained within?"

"True Martial Hall."

After leaving these words, the Canghai Sword Sect hurriedly departed.

The rest of the people were all startled, sensing that the name exuded a certain aura.

Some of the more established sects began searching through Ancient Books overnight, trying to find out which High Antiquity sect the True Martial Hall was related to, so they could find some way to break the spell. Soon, they made some progress.

"True Martial Sect!"

According to Ancient Books records, the True Martial Hall was the core hall for the Inheritance of the High Antiquity True Martial Sect. Could it be that the High Antiquity True Martial Inheritance is hidden within it?

"The High Antiquity True Martial Sect was extremely powerful, and it is said that it produced several extraordinary Martial Saint were famous throughout the world. Later, for some unknown reason, it disappeared into the long river of history, but now it has actually reappeared!"

This news came out.

Everyone was in a frenzy, and the news spread throughout the world.

Naturally.

Some people have drawn parallels to the True Martial Sect of today.

"What is the relationship between the High Antiquity True Martial Sect and the current True Martial Sect? It is rumored that the previous sect leader of the True Martial Sect, Real Person Dragon Mountain, received the High Antiquity Inheritance. Could it be the Inheritance the True Martial Hall?"

Some people instinctively wanted to hide the news.

But there are so many people in the world, so naturally some people want to use this opportunity to befriend the True Martial Sect. After all, compared to a ethereal True Martial Hall, it is more important to build a good relationship with the True Martial Sect, which is at its peak. Anyone with eyes can see that with Heavenly Sword Real Person, Real Person Dragon Mountain, and a group of outstanding talents, it is only a matter of time before the True Martial Sect becomes a behemoth.

Dao-Seeking Courtyard.

Ning Qi was pondering how to solve the problem he had recently encountered.

"The poisonous substance within the Spiritual Qi is somewhat ethereal. I was almost able to capture it twice, but it vanished immediately. This substance is neither tangible nor intangible; it exists in some form between the two."

He played with a wisp of Spiritual Qi at his fingertips, lost in thought.

To find a way to filter it out, one must first understand the nature of this toxic substance; otherwise, if one cannot even grasp what it looks like, how can one talk about filtering it out?

While pondering.

Luo Wentian strode into the Dao-Seeking Courtyard.

The first sentence gave Ning Qi a jolt:

"Little Nine, the True Martial Hall you mentioned before has appeared!"

Ning Qi got up and, with Luo Wentian, instantly flew to the Mingwu Pavilion, where they indeed saw that Daoist Longshan was already there.

Ning Qi and Daoist Longshan exchanged a glance, both seeing the certainty in each other's eyes.

Daoist Longshan slowly said:

"According to rumors, the True Martial Hall should be the True Martial Palace that I encountered back then, or rather, the True Martial Underground Palace is part of the True Martial Hall!"

Ning Qi instantly recalled the scene from years ago when he went down the mountain to search for him.

It seemed as if some enormous creature had departed from underground.

Looking at it now...

That's the Small Island.

Luo Wentian's eyes were solemn:

"The best course of action now is for us to get there immediately. The True Martial Hall is the source of our True Martial Sect's Inheritance, giving us a natural advantage. If we can obtain the Martial Saint's Inheritance from there, we will surely be able to seize the opportunity during the upcoming Spirituality revival!"

He is now increasingly righteous in his role as the leader of the sect, and every word and action he takes is for the future of the True Martial Sect.

Daoist Longshan nodded slowly.

Not obtaining the complete True Martial Inheritance back then has always been a regret in his heart. Now that the opportunity has come, he naturally cannot miss it. Of course, he will not make grand pronouncements that the True Martial Hall must belong to the True Martial Sect and that others cannot touch it.

Ultimately, this was ownerless property; everyone just used different methods to acquire it.

Both of them looked at Ning Qi.

Ning Qi smiled slightly:

"Of course I'll go."

Previously, the old Daoist from Baishan had told Ning Qi that he could not give Ning Qi the Martial Saint's Method in advance, but obtaining it from the True Martial Inheritance would not be a problem. However, Ning Qi did not expect that the True Martial Inheritance would appear in this way.

"If I could obtain the Martial Saint's method, it would be helpful for my subsequent deductions. Even if the ancient sages didn't completely find a way to filter out poisonous substances, they must have had some insights."

Both were delighted to receive Ning Qi's response.

Luo Wentian stood up and said:

"There's no time to lose; we need to set off immediately. True Martial Mountain is quite far away."

He acted swiftly and decisively, immediately going down to make arrangements.

final.

Led by Ning Qi and Daoist Longshan, along with Ye Qinghe and several outstanding third-generation disciples, the trip will broaden their horizons and provide them with valuable experience. As for True Martial Mountain, with Dao Mo, Qin Yun, Luo Wentian, and others in charge, there's no need to worry.

Ning Qi did not change his appearance. Now that the ancient saints have been reborn, as long as he doesn't say it, people will only think that he is also a returned ancient saint.

The reason why Bai Shan Lao Dao was able to detect him at Zhen Xuan Mountain was because there was a peculiar aura and mark among the ancient saints. After Ning Qi noticed it, he created a method of disguise. Now, if he were discovered by other ancient saints, they would at most think that he was one of their own.

Above the sky.

Ning Qi mobilized the power of heaven and earth.

The group soared through the air at incredible speed, eliciting excitement and astonishment from the disciples.

Black Sand Sea.

Warships and large ships are scattered around the Misty Small Island, with some people already prepared for a long battle. They are exploring the conditions for entering the Misty Small Island. So far, apart from the Canghai Sword Sect, only a very few people with low cultivation have set foot there.

As soon as these people came out, they were "invited" away by the powerful forces that had arrived ahead of time.

Unfortunately, they themselves couldn't explain why they were able to get in. In the end, they only talked about their experiences and gains inside. Nevertheless, it made the eyes of these powerful forces light up, and they gladly took these lucky people into their sects, which could be considered a "win-win" situation.

certainly.

Of course, some people are unwilling to submit, and those people will not fare well.

More and more powerful individuals are arriving.

At first, a single Gang Essence Realm expert was enough to suppress the entire scene. Next, it had to be a Celestial Person Realm expert, and then the Celestial Person Ranking experts. As time passed, most of the attention of the entire Celestial Person was drawn to them.

now.

Around the misty area, a figure stumbled out. He first looked around in confusion, disbelief in his eyes, followed by ecstasy. However, he quickly recovered, his eyes returned to confusion, and he sighed as he fled away.

This kind of scenario is very common.

Entering the Misty Small Island is not dangerous, so many people try it.

However, the middle-aged man was stopped by someone.

The group clasped their hands in a cheerful greeting, their eyes filled with fervor.

"Brother Jin Dao, others may not know, but we do. You've been inside for over half an hour. Anyone who's been inside for more than half an hour has definitely entered the True Martial Hall. How about cooperating with our White Cloud Sect?"

Liu Jindao's expression changed, and he forced a smile:

"You must be mistaken. I, Liu, only went in a quarter of an hour ago. But that other person, I think, went in much earlier than me."

His eyes darted around, and he casually pointed to another martial artist who had just emerged from the mist, trying to divert the trouble. However, one of the White Cloud Sect martial artists happened to see this and was secretly recording it, so how could he be mistaken? The leader smiled and stepped forward, vaguely forming an encirclement, preparing to invite Liu Jindao aside. They didn't want to make too much of a commotion, otherwise others would come and get a share of the spoils.

Liu Jindao cursed under his breath, then suddenly let out a sharp whistle. A raptor flew down from the sky, and with a few quick taps of his toes, he landed on the bird's back, cursing angrily:

"Fuck your White Cloud Sect!"

If it were any other sect, it might be a good place to go. But the White Cloud Sect is hypocritical and infamous. If it falls into their hands, it will probably not end well.

The members of the White Cloud Sect were furious.

They pursued them relentlessly.

In an instant.

The sea was filled with Gang Qi, and Liu Jindao was quite capable. Not only did he have a strange flying bird by his side, but his own Movement Method were also superb. He moved on the sea as if it were flat ground, and the Baiyun Sect did not capture him immediately.

The commotion quickly attracted the attention of other people.

The entire sea was boiling again.

Liu Jindao suddenly became a hot commodity.

All forces employed various tactics to vie for Liu Jindao, resulting in a fierce battle between the Celestial Person Realm. The sea surged and roared, with even powerful figures from the Celestial Person Ranking making their moves, creating an extremely chaotic scene.

When the True Martial Sect members arrived, they witnessed this scene.

The seawater was tinged with blood, and corpses floated on the surface before slowly sinking to the bottom of the sea.

The two powerful figures on the Celestial Person Ranking were not giving an inch and were already fighting fiercely. A burst of heaven and earth power tore Liu Jindao's flying bird in two and made it fall from the sky. As for Liu Jindao, he was also torn into bloody dust in despair and turned into a cloud of blood mist.

The world was completely still.

Everyone watched the scene unfold in silence. Their initial fervor gradually dissipated. Liu Jindao was dead; there was no point in continuing the fight.

The bloody scene before them made many third-generation disciples of the True Martial Sect turn slightly pale. They realized that the outside world was not so kind, and without the protection of the True Martial Sect, they would just be fish on a chopping board.

Some disciples' eyes gradually hardened, and they secretly resolved to cultivate diligently so that their sect would not suffer the same fate.

Daoist Longshan nodded slightly; this was the meaning of bringing his disciples out for training.

Broadening one's horizons will strengthen one's martial arts will, gradually raising one's potential. While innate martial arts Root Bone is one aspect, acquired growth is even more important.

He lingered for a moment, then prepared to lead his disciples to rush towards the misty Small Island.

They had done their homework before they arrived.

To know the general situation.

But the arrival of the group immediately attracted the attention of some people, whose pupils shrank as they saw the apprehension in the other's eyes.

"True Martial Sect!"

Which sect is the one that everyone least wants to see?

That must be the True Martial Sect without a doubt.

It's not because the True Martial Sect is powerful, but because, in the context of the newly established True Martial Hall, the True Martial Sect holds a "legitimate" position to some extent. No one can say for sure whether the True Martial Sect would wipe them all out if they entered. If that were the case, wouldn't everyone have worked for nothing?

All eyes turned to Daoist Longshan.

The atmosphere gradually became eerie.

Two camps have already formed without anyone noticing.

On one side were the people of the True Martial Sect, and on the other side were other sects. These people, who were originally fighting each other, had vaguely formed an alliance after the arrival of the True Martial Sect members.

Ning Qi raised his eyes slightly but remained silent.

"This must be Real Person Dragon Mountain. I've heard so much about you."

"The True Martial Sect is renowned throughout the land; seeing it today, it truly is a place teeming with talented individuals!"

Daoist Longshan frowned slightly as he looked at the two people blocking his way. They were the two experts on the Celestial Person Ranking who had just fought, both ranked between 20th and 30th. One was a swordsman, and the other was skilled in fist techniques.

He smiled calmly and said:

"Your praise is undeserved; it's merely the world's high praise. I am not worthy of such accolades."

The black-robed swordsman laughed:

"The reputation of Heavenly Sword Real Person is absolutely genuine, but it is a bit of a pity that I was unable to see the old master in person this time."

Upon hearing this,

The atmosphere grew increasingly strange.

If Heavenly Sword Real Person hadn't come, I'm afraid the Daoist Longshan alone wouldn't have been enough. After all, there are quite a few experts on the Celestial Person Ranking here, and some people have been observing carefully but haven't found the number one swordsman in the world.

Another elderly man with white eyebrows extended a warm invitation:

"Meeting you today, I feel an extraordinary sense of kinship with True Person. Why don't you come and sit on my warship for a while? It would be a good opportunity to share our recent discoveries and experiences with True Person. We can recharge our energy before exploring the Small Island, which would be more efficient."

The black-robed swordsman also extended an invitation.

The two men had friendly expressions.

But the smile on Daoist Longshan's face gradually disappeared. Even the young disciples could tell that these two old fogies were spouting nonsense, and anger rose in their eyes.

The blatant invitation was clearly a ploy to prevent the True Martial Sect members from taking all the Inheritance from the True Martial Hall once they entered!

The eyes of all the martial artists narrowed, awaiting the reply from Daoist Longshan.

I was just discharged from the hospital this afternoon, I'm so sorry to have kept you all waiting. I'll resume regular updates as soon as I've adjusted. Here's one chapter for today! Thank you everyone!
