Stepping into the Martial Saint Realm

A surge of Spiritual Qi descended from the void, and at that moment, the entire world seemed to transform into a vast, turbulent ocean.

No one dared to make a move.

From ancient sages to mortals, no one dared to make any move before the Spiritual Qi calmed down, lest they be torn to shreds by this terrifying tide of Spiritual Qi.

Ning Qi observed this once-in-a-millennium spectacle, flashes of inspiration kept rising in his mind.

There was amazement in his eyes.

It was as if I had glimpsed a part of the Origin of the world.

Around the world, ordinary people knelt down in worship, tears streaming down their faces. The Spiritual Qi from the heavens continued to descend, filling the space between heaven and earth, and its benefits were gradually becoming apparent. Although there was some deadly poison mixed in with the Spiritual Qi energy, there was no problem as long as it was not refined into the body.

However, the powerful activity of Spiritual Qi has already begun to show signs.

Ordinary people, immersed in the Spiritual Qi, felt a warm current flowing through their limbs and bones. The terminally ill were shocked to find that they were gradually able to move again, and those who had been overworked for years found their bodies feeling more comfortable than ever before...

Miracles are happening in various places.

This event deeply moved and excited countless ordinary people, with citizens in every city of the Great Flame kneeling on the ground in gratitude to Heaven.

And this is just the beginning.

Boom!

Then came a series of deafening explosions that shook the heavens and the earth.

This was not the Dao sound of before, but a vortex formed by the pure surge of Spiritual Qi.

When the Spiritual Qi flowing into heaven and earth becomes concentrated to a certain degree...

The mutation has finally begun!

The earth's veins, infused with Spiritual Qi, are also a sign of awakening.

Rumble!!

The deafening roars echoed through the land, and people were shocked to discover that the earth was being torn apart. However, the tears were not bottomless, dark fissures, but rather the emergence of even wider expanses of land.

Each city was shrouded in a mysterious light, all of which avoided being directly torn apart, but were inevitably shifted in position by the rapidly rising earth.

Everyone was shocked by what they saw.

In the distance, the mountain ranges were also growing wildly, with small hills rising from the ground to become towering peaks that reached into the clouds. The already precipitous famous mountains became even more exaggerated, rushing into the sky at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Spiritual Qi began to swirl around it, and mysterious changes began to occur.

That's True Martial Mountain is like right now.

Ning Qi could clearly feel the ground beneath his feet trembling, as streams of Spiritual Qi and earth vein energy converged. Then, True Martial Mountain began to grow wildly, towering into the clouds. Not only that, True Martial Mountain also became more majestic, and the vegetation on the mountain also began to grow wildly.

This breathtaking scene left everyone holding their breath.

"Is this the revival of Spirituality and the surge in earth veins?" Ning Qi murmured.

The scene he witnessed today shocked him and gave him many insights. It was almost as if the Origin of heaven and earth had been presented to him. Perhaps he could not understand some of the deeper things now, but in time, these would become his solid foundation.

Such strange changes are happening everywhere in the world.

The roaring sound was incessant.

Everyone was stunned into unprecedented shock, even the ancient sages who had planned for millennia. They had only made predictions back then, and only now had they witnessed such a wondrous sight.

The land grew ever wider.

The mountain range rises sharply.

Large rivers resemble seas.

Ancient trees, exotic flowers, and even wild grasses that were previously ignored are all growing wildly. The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi shows no favoritism and equally blesses every living being.

And in that distant sea, astonishing changes were also taking place.

The Spiritual Qi flowed into the sea, causing the sea level to rise dramatically and the seabed to become even deeper, making the already mysterious and enigmatic ocean even more unfathomable.

This is a miracle of the world.

It is undergoing a complete transformation.

It has not only been restored to its High Antiquity glory, but is even better than before.

However, there were also some tragic scenes.

Many creatures in the world died silently and tragically, such as Human Race. Some were engulfed in flames, while others were surrounded by the sound of swords clashing... They all seemed to be awakening some special constitution, but the vast majority suddenly aged and died. The scene was horrifying, and those who did not understand it thought that it was the jealousy of the heavens.

Deep in the mountains, many Mutant Beast are the same.

They grew to enormous size and Divine Ability various innate abilities, but they also suddenly collapsed and died.

Only the ancient sages knew that this was not due to divine jealousy, but rather to the poison of fate.

These Human Race, Mutant Beast, and other beings were originally chosen ones, destined to awaken extraordinary physical abilities and advance triumphantly. However, due to the life-threatening poison, they perished before even beginning their journey, with only a very few lucky ones surviving.

True Martial Mountain.

The same applies to Zhuang Chen and the White Ape.

An incredibly rich Spiritual Qi descended.

It didn't even need to be pulled; it had already begun to burrow into the bodies of the human and the ape.

Roar!

The White Ape manifested its true form, already nine zhang tall. Unable to control the boiling blood within its body, it looked pained. Around Zhuang Chen, sword chants rang out, and Sword Qi qi phantoms rose and fell continuously. He sat cross-legged on the ground, his brows furrowed.

This strange phenomenon immediately startled Daoist Longshan and the others.

But Ning Qi was prepared.

"Hurry up and activate the Secret Method!" The voice was like a booming bell, striking straight to the soul. At the same time, wisps of Spiritual Qi began to vibrate in a special way, swirling around the man and the ape.

The two, who had been in pain, immediately calmed down, and their auras grew stronger at a visible speed. The Spiritual Qi made their physiques more perfect, which indirectly enhanced their strength.

Seeing that the man and the ape were on the right track, everyone was immediately relieved.

After focusing some of his attention on them, Ning Qi continued to observe the changes in the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

He saw it.

The surging Spiritual Qi gradually calmed down, and after it evenly filled the world, the original tide was gradually receding.

His eyes began to burn with fervor; this was the initial stage of his Spirituality revival. Once things had completely stabilized, it would be time for him to break through to the next realm.

He could already sense the incredibly rich and vibrant Spiritual Qi energy in the world.

That's where the fortuitous opportunity lies.

With such astonishing vitality, the bottleneck is weakened to the maximum extent. Once the Spiritual Qi stabilizes completely and the vitality disappears, it will no longer be possible to ascend to the heavens in one step.

But it's not over yet.

A dazzling golden light rose in Ning Qi's eyes as he looked into the depths of the void, where a massive, incredibly dense power was gathering.

He already had a vague suspicion.

Before he could think about it any further.

Boom!

Another loud bang, unlike the continuous rumbling sound before, was accompanied by a sharp buzzing sound. Ning Qi then "saw" that the large mass of dense power suddenly dispersed and flew away in all directions.

Those conspicuous streaks of power were like a grand firework display, or like shooting stars falling. These "shooting stars" varied in size and brightness.

Ning Qi stood in mid-air for the first time.

He could sense that there was something he longed for among those "shooting stars".

"Most of the meteors scattered in directions that couldn't avoid those ancient saints. It seems that the ancient saints' choice of private territories was also deliberate." Ning Qi suddenly realized that this must be the manifestation of the extraordinary treasure that the old Daoist Bai Shan had mentioned.

"It looks like a large meteor streaked past in the direction of Zhenxuan Mountain."

The moment this thought crossed Ning Qi's mind, a look of joy appeared on his face.

Two dense masses of energy were seen falling from the sky towards True Martial Mountain at an extremely fast speed. In just a dozen breaths, they were already close by. Everyone stared wide-eyed as the "meteors" fell.

Boom!

A burst of intense light erupted, and everyone instinctively closed their eyes.

Only Ning Qi was observing the essence of it all.

"This is a purer essence of power, and not only that, it also contains traces of other Origin."

Ning Qi originally thought these were ready-made rare treasures, but now it seems that this is not the case; they are the Origin power, which needs a vessel.

Both Origin power originated from True Martial Mountain.

The larger clump merged directly into the mountain, where it began to nurture some kind of rare treasure, while the slightly smaller clump landed on the Enlightenment Tea Tree.

In an instant.

On the Enlightenment Tea Tree, a rich life force began to circulate.

A burst of brilliant green light shot straight into the sky.

In the very beginning of the Spirituality revival, the Enlightenment Tea Tree had already grown dramatically, covering the entire Dao-Seeking Courtyard. Now, it's even more exaggerated.

Roots penetrate deep into True Martial Mountain, drawing power from the earth's veins.

Under the blessing of that Origin of power, the Enlightenment Tea Tree began to grow at an alarming rate.

Ten zhang!

Twenty zhang!

It eventually stopped at the magical height of ninety-nine zhang.

The Enlightenment Tea Tree now stands tall, not upright, but winding and twisting, its main trunk gnarled and twisted like a writhing dragon. All the disciples of the True Martial Sect can clearly see that behind each tea leaf flows a misty vitality, with a peculiar aura rising, instinctively arousing desire in people.

Their eyes were filled with amazement and shock.

They already knew that it was Ning Qi's residence.

With the identity of the Ancient Saint of Heavenly Sword as a foundation, it's not surprising that even the most miraculous things happen.

Daoist Longshan and the others witnessed this change and were all amazed. They knew best the wonder of the Enlightenment Tea Tree. Now, it had grown rapidly overnight. In the future, the True Martial Sect would truly not lack Enlightenment Tea. Although the effects of most of the tea leaves would be diluted, the effects of the most essential part of the tea leaves would be enhanced.

Ning Qi was filled with joy.

He could clearly sense that, after accumulating a large amount of Spiritual Qi, the life essence of the Enlightenment Tea Tree had reached a new level.

Perhaps it can be called a rare treasure of heaven and earth.

He had a premonition that the most exquisite tea leaves for enlightenment would also have some effect on him, not in enhancing his comprehension, but in saving him time and allowing him to spend more time in a state of true Enlightenment.

But his delight didn't stop there.

"An incredibly rich wood element! Perhaps... I can use the Enlightenment Tea Tree to condense wood energy!" Ning Qi's eyes gleamed.

This was a truly unexpected and delightful surprise.

He already possessed three precious items: the Yu King Pearl, the Great Sun Compass, and the Geng Metal Spirit Remains. Now, with the addition of an Enlightenment Tea Tree with such a strong wood attribute, he now possesses the four major attributes of metal, wood, water, and fire.

In other words...

Ning Qi might be able to try and break through to the Fourth Realm Martial Saint!

He was filled with emotion.

With golden light swirling in his eyes, Ning Qi looked into True Martial Mountain. After the even greater Origin of energy entered it, it was brewing something, something that wouldn't be accomplished in a short time. Ning Qi felt a sense of anticipation before withdrawing his gaze.

He sensed the changes in the Spiritual Qi in the void.

After those clusters of Origin power dispersed, the changes in the world were nearing their end. The earth settled, the mountains stopped trembling, and the fluctuations of Spiritual Qi became nearly stable.

Ning Qi sensed the opportune moment.

At a certain moment.

As the fluctuations in Spiritual Qi reached a certain limit, Ning Qi shouted:

"The fortuitous opportunity is now! Why don't you break through to a higher realm!"

The sound of the news True Martial Mountain, and each disciple felt a tremor in their heart. Then they sat cross-legged on the ground and began to cultivate earnestly.

Ning Qi seized the perfect moment, just as the Spiritual Qi had calmed down to a level that everyone could handle, while Spiritual Qi activity was at its peak.

Those disciples whose cultivation was still shallow could do as best they could to enhance their foundation amidst this surge of Spiritual Qi.

For example, martial artists like Luo Wentian in the Gang Essence Realm can sense the fluctuations and activity of Spiritual Qi in advance, laying a solid foundation for resonating with Spiritual Qi when they reach the Celestial Person Realm in the future, which will make their efforts twice as effective in the future.

The biggest beneficiaries are the martial artists at the Celestial Person Realm, whose cultivation of the Three Flowers Realm is incredibly rapid in this environment rich in Spiritual Qi.

But the most crucial ones are Ning Qi and the other three martial artists who have reached the Perfection Celestial Person Realm.

This is their fortuitous opportunity to break through their current limitations.

Ning Qi finished speaking.

Dao Mo, Daoist Longshan, and Qin Yun had already soared into the sky, landing in three different locations. Their eyes were filled with fervor. Then, they condensed the Three Flowers and began to circulate the Martial Saint Technique, which they had been familiar with for a long time, in preparation for a breakthrough.

A surge of Spiritual Qi erupted forth, resembling three long dragons.

It's only because the Spiritual Qi is so abundant right now that it could withstand the strain on the three of them as they advance to Martial Saint.

As you can see.

The rich Spiritual Qi was refined by the three flowers and entered their bodies. All three showed varying degrees of pain on their faces. Their Secret Method was only to temporarily suppress and weaken the life poison, which would only erupt after they reached the Martial Saint.

Ning Qi took a deep breath and did not hesitate.

He sat cross-legged atop the Enlightenment Tea Tree.

With the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top and the Myriad Paths of Nirvana in motion, an invisible flame descended upon the head.

Ning Qi made a hand Method Formula.

"Spiritual Qi, gather!"

He had already rehearsed the scenario countless times in his mind, and now he was in complete control. Streams of Spiritual Qi poured in, and instead of competing with the other three for the Spiritual Qi, he drew it in from an even higher place, making the scene even more spectacular.

From a distance.

It's like the Milky Way flowing backwards.

The Nirvana Flame burned fiercely, purifying the Spiritual Qi. Ning Qi had no more worries and absorbed it into his body. He activated the Myriad Manifestations Scripture, which he had already deduced, and the Spiritual Qi instantly transformed into incomparably pure spiritual power.

Ning Qi's background is truly astonishing.

His Three Flowers represent his martial arts foundation. At this moment, the spiritual power he has refined is like a river converging and surging endlessly. Compared to him, the three Sword Demons are simply not on the same level.

"The first of the five elements is the element of metal!"

Ning Qi had already prepared a plan.

He has mastered all paths, but his strongest path is still the Sword Dao. The metal element, being the sharpest, complements the Sword Dao perfectly. Naturally, it would be even better to use the metal element as the first element of the Five Elements Qi to be condensed.

In an instant.

A vast ocean of spiritual energy flowed into the lungs and condensed there. Then, strands of incomparably sharp aura gradually emerged. This was the metal energy in the lungs being stimulated by the spiritual energy, influencing each other, making the spiritual energy even more full of killing power.

On True Martial Mountain.

A thunderous roar echoed through the heavens and earth, seemingly celebrating Ning Qi's victory.

Ning Qi's breakthrough came naturally.

He has already reached the realm of Martial Saint.

Feeling the unprecedented power emanating from his body, Ning Qi felt incredibly satisfied. After pursuing the Martial Saint realm for so long, he had finally succeeded. Even though it was only the first level of Martial Saint, he felt much, much stronger than before!

At this very moment.

He felt that the essence of his life was constantly being sublimated, and his physical body was becoming more terrifying under the influence of spiritual power.

And their comprehension also increased further.

Perhaps Ning Qi is the only Martial Saint currently unaffected by the Life Poison.

But Ning Qi was clearly not satisfied with this.
