The World Gazes in Awe, Three Saints Offer Their Treasures

The Martial Saint who had slain the Heavens descended the mountain and departed.

But the True Martial disciples were still reeling from the shock of their previous clash.

Their adoration for Ning Qi was simply beyond measure.

after all.

That was the unparalleled Martial Saint could dominate the world. Before his Spirituality was revived, he was ranked first on the Celestial Person Ranking, mysterious and unpredictable. After his Spirituality was revived, he suppressed all the ancient saints so much that they could not raise their heads.

And now.

Ning Qi was able to hold his own against the Martial Saint Tian, and although it was only one strike, it was still incredibly powerful.

It's not just the disciples of True Martial.

This scene was also witnessed by many martial artists in True Martial City.

When Zhan Tian Martial Saint arrived, he made no attempt to conceal his presence, which naturally alerted some of the powerful figures in True Martial City. Since the revival of Spirituality, True Martial City's reputation has soared, attracting many people who come from afar. These people also seem to have the intention of becoming peripheral forces of the True Martial Sect, although Luo Wentian is still considering the specific management details.

now.

The whole city was in an uproar.

All eyes, filled with awe and wonder, were fixed on the towering True Martial Mountain.

Many people are even determined to cling tightly to True Martial Mountain, this powerful and influential mountain.

Nobody's a fool.

With the reappearance of ancient sages and the revival of Spirituality, martial arts are flourishing like never before. However, this flourishing will inevitably be followed by unrest. At such a crucial turning point, clinging to a powerful ally may be more important than anything else.

then.

The news that Zhan Tian Martial Saint had fought to a standstill with Tian Jian Martial Saint on True Martial Mountain spread throughout the world at an astonishing speed.

Although the world is now much larger, many Yuan Pill Realm martial artists also took advantage of the fortuitous opportunity to step into the Celestial Person Realm on the day the Spirituality was restored. The overall strength of the martial artists has increased significantly. As a result, the speed of news transmission has not decreased but increased.

In an instant.

The world is watching with awe.

Numerous discussions arose across the country.

True Martial Mountain has become the focus of attention in a short period of time, attracting countless exclamations.

"Was the Heaven-Slaying Martial Saint because of the previous incidents involving the Crimson Sun Martial Saint and the Purple Moon Martial Saint?"

"I never expected the Heavenly Martial Saint to be so powerful, even the Heaven-Slaying Martial Saint couldn't do anything to him? Doesn't that mean the Crimson Sun Martial Saint and the other two died in vain?"

"It is said that the Heavenly Sword Martial Saint is not a reincarnation of an ancient saint, but is that true?"

"Impossible... If it weren't for an ancient saint, how could someone possess such overwhelming strength? In the present world, it's already extremely remarkable for someone to reach the Martial Saint; to compare oneself to an ancient saint is far too difficult."

"However, there's a rumor that the Heavenly Martial Saint is now a Fourth-Realm Martial Saint..."

Almost everyone's attention was focused on Ning Qi.

Some say that the Heavenly Sword Ancient Saint is actually under twenty years old and is a person from the present world, but no one believes it and thinks it's nonsense.

Some say that the Heavenly Sword Martial Saint is only at the fourth realm, which is met with disdain by others who wonder how a fourth-realm Martial Saint could be so powerful.

In response to this...

Ning Qi simply smiled slightly.

Sometimes, truths that are too outrageous are not believed by the public; people only believe what they already know.

The Heavenly Sword Ancient Saint, not even twenty years old?

Others would just think he was joking.

This is one of the reasons why Ning Qi stopped deliberately hiding his identity as the Heavenly Sword Martial Saint after revealing it: firstly, there was no need to, and secondly, others wouldn't believe him anyway.

Now that they have learned about the current situation of the martial world from the Martial Saint Zhan Tian, there is even less need to hide anything.

Now we're all in the same boat; anyone with a brain wouldn't choose to be hostile towards Ning Qi.

The world is in turmoil.

Thanks to two battles in a short period of time, the name of the Heavenly Martial Saint has become renowned throughout the world.

But three people were particularly restless.

Thunder Martial Saint, Martial Saint, and Black Martial Saint.

The three of them were already worried about what kind of apology gift would be appropriate, but they never expected to be hit with such a bolt from the blue. This person could even fight against Martial Saint who could slay the Heavens. If the gift was too meager, this matter would probably not be so easy to let go of.

The thought of being secretly watched by a powerful figure at the level of a Heaven-Slaying Martial Saint sent chills down their spines.

late at night.

Three furtive figures gathered in the nameless valley.

Seeing the sorrow on each other's faces, the three fell silent.

"What should we do now?" Kurosawa Martial Saint asked.

The Thunder Martial Saint glared fiercely.

"Damn it, if you hadn't said to wait a few more days, perhaps the Martial Saint would have settled this matter, and we would have just given a token gesture, would things have ended up like this?"

He wished he could strike that unlucky thing dead with a bolt of lightning.

Martial Saint with a pained expression.

I was already planning to give a gift, but this remark delayed it for a few more days. Now, they're even more confident. If I don't spend money, I might get into trouble. Nobody dares to gamble on that possibility.

The thought that what should have been a minor hemorrhage had now turned into a major one was heartbreaking for the three of them.

Kurosawa Martial Saint said with a wronged tone:

"We made the decision together that day, so how did it become my problem?"

The three remained silent.

final.

The Thunder Martial Saint said dejectedly:

"Forget it, there's no use talking about it now. Let's think about what would be more appropriate to give. Only a heartfelt apology can appease the Heavenly Sword Martial Saint's anger. Don't take any chances; he's probably watching us closely."

Black Swamp Martial Saint and Martial Saint nodded repeatedly.

"Perhaps... we can send some spiritual treasures rich in earth element!" Martial Saint Spirituality.

Kurosawa Martial Saint immediately realized:

"Brilliant! The Heavenly Martial Saint's cultivation level that day was that of a fourth-realm Martial Saint. If I'm not mistaken, what he lacked was the earth element of his spleen. Giving him an earth-attribute spiritual treasure will surely please the Heavenly Martial Saint, and he should no longer hold this against us."

The Martial Saint of Thunder readily agreed. His cultivation was slightly higher than the other two, but his reckless actions were far less agile than theirs. After his initial delight, he slapped his forehead in frustration and said:

"Damn it, I don't have a decent earth-attribute spiritual treasure right now!"

Kurosawa Martial Saint laughed:

"Don't worry, Brother Kuang Lei, I have two more items on hand, I'll sell them together."

The Thunder Martial Saint was overjoyed:

"Good brother, don't worry, I definitely won't take your spiritual item for nothing. I'll exchange it for other spiritual items!"

All three smiled.

They discussed the gift-giving details for a long time, and unexpectedly, the more they talked, the more they clicked. The Thunder Martial Saint slapped his thigh and shouted:

"Both of you brothers are men of strong character. If you don't mind my rough and uncouth nature, how about we become sworn brothers?"

Both the Black Martial Saint and the Martial Saint wore excited smiles.

That's exactly what I was thinking!

In an unnamed valley, the three men swore brotherhood on the spot.

"Big brother!"

"Second brother!"

"Third brother!"

The eldest brother is Kuang Lei Martial Saint, followed by Bai Yun and Hei Ze.

The three laughed heartily, and then, full of pride, they stepped into the air and departed.

If someone were unaware of the inside story, they would think the three were about to do something earth-shattering.

The next day.

True Martial Mountain.

The three Martial Saint and Martial Saint, arrived together, their attitude extremely respectful. Mad Martial Saint stood in front of his two sworn brothers, showing great loyalty, and cautiously began to speak:

"Sword Dao, we apologize for any offense we may have caused. This is just a small token of our appreciation."

Opposite them was Ning Qi, holding a Daoist scripture. He possessed an otherworldly air, sitting under the Enlightenment Tea Tree like a banished immortal, making the three members of the Mad Thunder Martial Saint even more restrained.

Ning Qi glanced at the three items that had been delivered, then calmly raised his eyes:

"That's enough, let's turn the page."

After learning the whole story from Zhan Tian Martial Saint, he became more tolerant of the other Martial Saint. However, even without this incident, he had no intention of doing anything to the three Martial Saint and Kuang Lei, as he was not the kind of person who craved blood.

The other party has paid a price, demonstrating their attitude and sincerity, and that's enough.

However, Ning Qi was somewhat surprised. These three were strangers before, so how did they suddenly become so close?

The three, including the Martial Saint of Thunder, exchanged glances, their hearts filled with joy, as if they had been granted a pardon.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist!"

The three bowed respectfully and then prepared to leave.

"Wait." Ning Qi's calm voice came, causing the three overjoyed people to freeze in their tracks.

The Martial Saint Thunder turned his head and forced a smile:

"Sword Dao, is there anything else you would like to instruct me on?"

Ning Qi smiled faintly:

"Guests are always welcome. Please have a cup of tea before you leave, lest others say I don't know how to treat guests."

As soon as he finished speaking, three cups of Enlightenment Tea, exuding a rich and fragrant aroma, floated in front of the three of them. Ning Qi chuckled, and the three of them were all taken aback for a moment, before smiles bloomed on their faces:

"Thank you very much, Sword Dao!"

This time, the gratitude should be more heartfelt.

The three drank the Enlightenment Tea in one gulp and entered a state of enlightenment. They only woke up after a full incense stick had burned. The three had gained a lot, and a trace of gratitude and respect appeared in their eyes. This time, the three did not speak, but simply bowed to Ning Qi and then slowly left.

Ning Qi smiled and shook his head.

He just did it on a whim.

Turning his gaze to the items brought by the three Martial Saint, a slow smile crept onto his lips.

That shows thoughtfulness.

He could naturally tell that these three spiritual treasures were all earth-attribute spiritual objects.

Two of them are a lava crystal core and an earth marrow, which are similar to the earth vein essence stone given to Ning Qi by the Martial Saint. They will be helpful to Ning Qi's cultivation and can help him break through to the fifth realm of Martial Saint more quickly.

The other spiritual item was a spiritual fruit.

Diyuan fruit.

Ning Qi reached out and the fist-sized, pale yellow spiritual fruit landed in his hand. He raised an eyebrow as he sensed the rich earth-attribute spiritual energy emanating from it.

immediately.

His gaze fell upon the True Martial peach tree outside the courtyard.

On the day of the Spirituality revival, thanks to the transformation of the Enlightenment Tea Tree, the True Martial Peach Tree also made a significant improvement, but Ning Qi wanted to take them to the next level.

"With this Earthly Element Fruit, we can conduct thorough divination and experimentation, and then set up an array to enhance the cultivation of the True Martial Peach Tree, transforming it into a true spiritual tree!"

Although the threat from the Mountain and Sea Realm is imminent.

But Ning Qi believes that the problem will be solved one day, and he does not intend to give up on some long-term plans.

Furthermore...

The environment is much better than before, especially with the appearance of some spiritual objects, which gives martial artists hope for rapid improvement. He also plans to collect a batch of precious herbs spirit medicine to refine into suitable pills to help Luo Wentian improve their strength, so that they can protect themselves as much as possible in the upcoming battle.

For example, when it came to the Tongtian Pill, Ning Qi had him collect the raw materials.

certainly.

All of this was left to Luo Wentian and the others to handle. Ning Qi only needed to spend a little time on the deduction and refining without affecting himself.

He was very clear-headed.

Right now, one's own strength is the most important thing; otherwise, even if Luo Wentian and the others were forcibly promoted to the Martial Saint, it wouldn't be of much use.

Put away the three spiritual items.

Ning Qi then soared into the sky and disappeared.

Target.

Pointing straight to the heavens.

This was Ning Qi's first trip to the High Heavens since reaching the Martial Saint. He hadn't been here for a long time before, since he no longer needed to cultivate here after reaching the Celestial Person Perfection.

Now, returning to this place, he immediately sensed that something was amiss.

The Spiritual Qi also filled this place, although it wasn't as dense as the area below, it was still quite good. Therefore, it was visibly noticeable that the already terrifying Thunder Forbidden Zone had become even more terrifying, with bolts of lightning seemingly coming to life and unleashing their power without restraint.

Fortunately, Ning Qi improved even more.

The wood element flowed around his body, and the Azure Profound Body Protection Technique he created had become more resilient after its sublimation. He hadn't been idle these past few days; he had been sublimating all his past secret techniques and constantly deepening his foundation.

now.

He stood with his hands behind his back, stepping alone into the Thunder's restricted area.

Boom!!

Lightning flashed like rain, and endless roars echoed in Ning Qi's ears as bolts of lightning crashed down, engulfing him.

But Ning Qi remained unfazed.

The bolts of purple lightning couldn't get close at all.

Ning Qi raised his eyes, golden light swirling within them, and saw once again the scene he had witnessed before.

Deeper into the Thunder Forbidden Zone, streaks of lightning of various colors filled the area.

Purple-black lightning, black lightning, black-red lightning, blood-red lightning...

The deeper you go, the more terrifying it becomes.

Ning Qi strolled leisurely.

He finally stopped in the area of black lightning. He could have continued forward, but the crimson lightning made him wary and even gave him a strong sense of crisis. The best way to temper his spiritual power was with black and red lightning.

He had no intention of continuing to explore the deepest parts, but instead chose to sit cross-legged.

A series of black lightning bolts struck, but they only shattered into streaks of lightning.

Ning Qi summoned the True Martial Sword, its astonishing sharpness radiating outwards, instantly creating a safe vacuum zone. Then, the three spiritual objects—the Earth Vein Essence Stone, the Lava Crystal Core, and the Earth Marrow—rushed out, swirling around Ning Qi Ning Qi and transforming into the Three Powers, pouring earth energy into him.

Then bursts of spiritual energy erupted, drawing down black and red lightning.

Boom!

In an instant.

A powerful surge of lightning energy coursed through Ning Qi's body, with even his hair crackling with lightning bolts.

Ning Qi's five internal organs were glowing, and the power of the other four organs was resonating with that of the spleen.

He was in a good mood and could clearly feel that his cultivation had accelerated considerably.

If this trend continues, there is a chance that Ning Qi will reach the fifth level of Martial Saint before the Martial Saint Tournament. At that time, Ning Qi's strength will be even greater.

Ning Qi did not stay on True Martial Mountain to cultivate indefinitely.

After the turmoil of stabilizing his realm and the resurgence of his Spirituality energy gradually subsided, he descended the mountain.

Along the way.

He was somewhat surprised.

The resurgence of Spirituality has had a profound impact on the world. Many places have become unfamiliar. Mountains that were once rare to see, some thousands of feet high, are now everywhere, like small mounds scattered around. Even towering mountains are occasionally seen.

The ecology has changed significantly.

Black Sand Sea.

It is also different from the past.

In just a short time, this near-sea area had become much wider and deeper, with islands appearing out of nowhere. He sighed and, without hesitation, followed the fluctuations of the True Martial Mark.

soon.

Ning Qi stopped in a completely unfamiliar sea area. He took a deep breath, and his voice rippled outwards with his spiritual energy:

"Ning Qi, Elder Xuan Turtle!"

Amidst the turbulent waves, a sense of calm prevails.

Ning Qi waited silently. After a moment, his eyes lit up as he sensed an immense wave emanating from the seabed. Then, columns of water shot into the sky, and a colossal creature emerged from the sea surface, with streams of water cascading down its edges like waterfalls.

Looking at the Xuan Turtle in front of him, whose size had obviously increased significantly, Ning Qi was amazed.

As for the True Martial Palace on the back of the Xuanwu Turtle, it was still shrouded in White Mist.

"Ning, it's been a long time."

The old black tortoise's large pupils held a gentle smile as it looked Ning Qi over, its eyes clearly showing amazement.

"You've crossed four realms in one step, you're quite something, kid."

Ning Qi laughed:

"It was just luck."

The old tortoise chuckled and said:

"Come on up."

As the White Mist dissipated, Ning Qi saw the True Martial Hall, which resembled a celestial palace, once again. He had only thought it was extraordinary before, but now, from his perspective, he felt it was even more unfathomable, which stirred up waves in his heart.

Stepping into the True Martial Hall, the familiar hunchbacked old man was already waiting there.

Ning Qi was not surprised. He had once created a secret technique called the Formless Body Technique, which he had now further refined. He could use spiritual power to construct an avatar, making it much more powerful and flexible than before. The technique before him was probably similar.

"Greetings, Senior Xuan Gui." He bowed respectfully.

He was still very grateful to the old Xuan Turtle. If it hadn't been for the old Xuan Turtle stopping Zhan Tian Martial Saint back in the Black Sand Sea, he probably would have been able to watch Chi Yang Martial Saint leave.

Of course, the Crimson Sun Martial Saint is now a corpse.

The black tortoise waved its hand, looking at Ning Qi in amazement:

You certainly didn't disappoint me.

A closer look at Ning Qi made him realize the young Daoist's strength, which was far better than he had expected.

An unprecedented hope welled up in his heart.

Ning Qi said solemnly:

"I have come here as promised to seek your guidance, senior."

After receiving the True Martial Inheritance last time, the Xuan Turtle asked him to come back again after reaching the Martial Saint.

He originally wanted to find out everything behind this, but he didn't expect that the Martial Saint Zhan Tian would reveal everything first. However, he felt that the old Xuan Turtle might know something different.

The two walked slowly through the palace complex.

Every now and then, the cries of cranes could be heard. Ning Qi looked over and immediately realized that it was not a strange phenomenon at all, but a real crane. His pupils shrank, and he clearly sensed an aura of Martial Saint from the crane.

In the outside world, this is the Beast King!

And it wasn't just one, there were seven or eight.

In addition, several Spirit Beast that Ning Qi did not recognize appeared, all of which were extremely powerful. They quietly observed Ning Qi before disappearing into the White Mist.

Ning Qi was deeply disturbed. Upon re-entering the True Martial Hall, what he saw and heard was even more shocking than the last time.

Such profound knowledge seems out of place in this world.

"Don't be surprised, they can't leave this True Martial Hall," the Xuan Turtle said calmly. "I know you have many questions. Now that you've reached the Martial Saint, I won't hide anything from you that I know."

Ning Qi nodded, and then asked:

"Senior, are you familiar with the Mountain and Sea Boundary?"

The old tortoise was somewhat surprised:

"It seems you already know quite a lot."

"That's what Zhan Tian Martial Saint told me a few days ago." Ning Qi didn't hide anything and recounted everything Zhan Tian Martial Saint had told him. Instinctively, he was more willing to believe the old Xuan Turtle.

The old tortoise slowly nodded:

"He's right, but do you know where the core method for awakening the world's will by concealing Spirituality comes from?"

Ning Qi's heart skipped a beat as he looked at the main hall before him.

The old tortoise laughed:

"It originated from the True Martial Hall."
