Obtaining an Immortal Treasure, World is Me

"The third level has been passed as well."

The thought crossed Ning Qi's mind, but he wasn't overly excited.

This is the cycle of nine lifetimes.

The next eight lifetimes were all from the perspective of an observer, but in the first lifetime, he was immersed in it for a full twenty-five years, experiencing a "virtual" life.

At this moment, he had completely put aside the True Martial Hall's assessment.

He was thinking about another problem.

"Why was I trapped in it in my first life, only waking up when I was about to die, while I was perfectly clear-headed in the next eight lives? If that ray of light that gave me the heaven-defying comprehension had always been there, there would never have been this difference, and I probably would never have had a single moment of self-doubt from beginning to end." Ning Qi was absolutely certain of this; he had great confidence in his comprehension.

"This is actually similar to my first life, where that ray of light dimmed on its own, forcing me to experience it and struggle out on my own? That's why I was trapped in it for twenty-five years."

Ning Qi had pondered the origin of his extraordinary comprehension more than once.

But it's quite obvious.

He couldn't figure it out.

This might not even be a field he can currently access.

And now.

He seemed to have vaguely grasped a connection.

Reincarnation!

"This ray of light seems to really like reincarnating me. When I awakened before, it was because I reincarnated a hundred times that I finally fully awakened my heaven-defying comprehension! And now, the reincarnation in the True Martial Hall is not a simple illusion. To be honest, it's almost no different from a real reincarnation."

After learning of the existence of the spirit world and the Immortal Realm.

Ning Qi felt that the source of his extraordinary enlightenment might have come from the Immortal Realm!

He took a deep breath and finally stopped thinking about the problem.

Overthinking is pointless.

Since we lack the strength right now, instead of worrying unnecessarily, we should focus our energy on improving our strength. Once we have the strength, everything will naturally fall into place.

now.

Beams of light shone from all directions, and the boundless darkness slowly receded.

Ning Qi found himself in a tea room filled with the gentle fragrance of incense.

An elderly man with a long beard that reached the ground sat smiling across the chessboard.

"Young man, congratulations on successfully passing the True Martial Hall's assessment. May I ask your name?"

"Ning Qi greets Senior." Ning Qi said respectfully. Although the old man didn't say it, he could sense that this old man was probably the blurry figure on the other side of the first level, and he even had some similarities in temperament to the True Martial Ancestor in the previous Spirit Realm War scene.

He sat opposite him.

Seemingly knowing what Ning Qi was thinking, the old man chuckled and said:

"Let me introduce myself. I am the remnant spirit left behind by the True Martial Ancestor, the protector of the True Martial Sect, and also the artifact spirit of the True Martial Hall."

Ning Qi suddenly realized.

"You don't need to worry about my existence. After we meet, I will completely disappear, and you will then have complete control of the True Martial True Martial master. The reason I appeared was simply to see what kind of extraordinary talent this genius who passed so perfectly truly possessed."

He was clearly very satisfied with Ning Qi.

The evaluation for the first and third stages was above Grade A, and the evaluation for the second stage was slightly lower, but it was still Grade A.

Even at the height of the True Martial Sect's power, it would have been incredibly difficult to produce such a peerless genius. Now that the Inheritance was almost extinct, they had unexpectedly discovered such a prodigy. He was overjoyed.

Ning Qi was slightly startled. The artifact spirit was about to dissipate?

"This is the unique characteristic of celestial treasures; their spirits are all reborn from a wisp of the master's consciousness, ensuring complete control over the treasure. With your performance, you naturally deserve complete control of the True Martial Hall."

"Are you willing to accept the True Martial Inheritance?" the old man asked solemnly, staring intently into Ning Qi's eyes. "The Inheritance contains all the techniques and Divine Ability from the Acquired Realm to the Dao Integration Realm. Unfortunately, almost all the treasures were used to repair the True Martial Hall's damage. Apart from that, there's only the True Martial Hall itself. Although it's incomplete now, it was a celestial treasure at its peak, obtained by the original owner from a Immortal Abode Ruins in the Boundary Sea. Even among celestial treasures, it was considered a powerful existence. If one day you can completely repair it, it can regain its glory."

Ning Qi already understood.

The most precious things in the True Martial Inheritance are two things.

Both are laws, ranging from the Acquired Realm to the Dao Integration Realm, and both are the True Martial Hall itself; even an incomplete immortal treasure is still an immortal treasure, with many wonderful uses.

Ning Qi took a deep breath and asked:

"May I ask what your conditions are, senior?"

The old man sighed leisurely:

"If you have the opportunity in the future, you can find a spirit realm to rebuild the True Martial Sect. As for the rest, let nature take its course."

Without a doubt, the condition is very simple.

The True Martial only wanted to continue its lineage; as for revenge, they never even considered it.

That makes sense.

Even at its peak, the True Martial was destroyed by the Mountain and Sea Realm, let alone the True Martial, which was rebuilt after who knows how long.

But Ning Qi frowned:

"Senior, to be honest, rebuilding the True Martial is not difficult. My True Martial Sect is a legacy of the True Martial Sect. However, finding a spirit realm might be a bit difficult."

immediately.

Ning Qi then slowly recounted the current crisis in the martial arts world.

The old man was immediately taken aback.

He had been asleep to conserve the energy of the True Martial Hall. He only knew that the True Martial Hall had fallen into a small world when its energy was exhausted, but he was unaware of the current situation outside. By a twist of fate, he encountered the invasion of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

"It's all about timing and fate," he sighed softly.

"So be it. Perhaps this is the fate of the True Martial. Back then, our ancestor didn't choose to devour the world's Origin to ascend to the True Martial, but instead chose to explore another path. Perhaps this outcome was predetermined long ago."

The old man seemed somewhat disheartened.

"It would be quite good if we could rebuild the True Martial Inheritance."

Ning Qi, however, was unwilling to give up.

"Senior, don't you have any other ideas?"

The old man shook his head and said:

"If the True Martial Hall were intact, there would naturally be a way to transport you to other spirit realms. But now the True Martial Hall is damaged, and your strength is insufficient, so you have far fewer abilities available. The only useful function might be to shield your martial world, which could buy you some breathing room."

"But this method... should not be used lightly."

Ning Qi asked:

Why?

"The True Martial Hall is a celestial treasure. If it were exposed, it would inevitably attract countless covetous eyes. At that time, the enemies your martial arts realm will face will be far more numerous than they are now."

Ning Qi was slightly taken aback.

"Isn't the Mountain and Sea Realm our current enemy?"

The spirit of the True Martial Hall shook its head and chuckled.

"How could that be? Your mere little world is not worth the effort of the true powerhouses of the Mountain and Sea Realm. Their goal is the same: the Spirit Realm. If I am not mistaken, devouring the Martial Realm is just a task for a certain sect in the Mountain and Sea Realm. They devour the Martial Realm, and the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm will naturally reward them. This is one of the reasons why they are so fanatical."

"There are many, many sects like this. The strongest among them is probably only True Lord in the Primordial Spirit Realm, or at most a Great Power in the Void Dao Realm."

"But if the True Martial Hall is exposed, I'm afraid even Dao Integration Realm elders will swarm here."

Ning Qi immediately understood the key point.

The True Martial Hall should not be used unless absolutely necessary. In other words, the Martial World is currently just a somewhat special small world in the eyes of the sects of the Mountain and Sea Realm. However, if the matter of the True Martial Hall is exposed, it will probably come into the sight of the real big shots in the Mountain and Sea Realm.

That level of skill is far beyond what Ning Qi can currently achieve.

"I understand." Ning Qi's mood was slightly heavy. He had originally thought that the True Martial Hall's celestial treasure might be of great use, but now it seemed that it could only be used as a temporary measure in desperate situations.

The old spirit pondered:

"It's not entirely hopeless. You mentioned earlier that the world will of your martial world has awakened, right? Perhaps we could try the methods explored by our ancestors within the Inheritance: merging the body with the world, and the world becoming me."

Ning Qi's eyes narrowed.

The spirit's eyes already held a mixture of pride and regret:

"Back then, our ancestor was kind-hearted and disdained to harm countless living beings in order to devour the world and raise the upper limit of the True Martial. He was an exceptionally talented man who secluded himself for hundreds of thousands of years to explore this path, but he never expected that he would be invaded by the Mountain and Sea Realm just when he was about to succeed."

"Although this method is not yet fully formed, it is still perfectly capable of being used to merge small worlds."

"After fusion, you become one with the world. With the world as your foundation, you will know how terrifying combat power of the same level can be. What's even more wonderful is that the world is me, and I am the world. In this way, even if your strength exceeds the world's limit, you will not be rejected."

The old spirit's eyes grew brighter as he spoke, and he couldn't help but slap his thigh in admiration.

"In this way, you will have the strength to resist the invasion of the Mountain and Sea Realm. If you accumulate enough energy in the future to activate the True Martial Hall's travel function, you will have a chance to survive!"

"Although the methods established by our ancestor have extremely high requirements, with your level of comprehension, you should have no problem mastering them."

He burst into laughter, feeling as if the situation had taken a dramatic turn for the better.

Ning Qi listened, his eyes also brightening.

Just listening to the spirit's explanation, he felt that this was an unparalleled method, and he felt a great spirit rushing towards him. The world is me, and I am the world. This True Martial Ancestor is truly amazing. If the Immortal Realm had not been lost, he would probably have already ascended to the Immortal Realm and become True Immortal.

"Thank you for your guidance, Senior Spirit." Ning Qi said respectfully.

Finally, we have a feasible solution, instead of being like headless flies.

The spirit waved its hand and said:

"It's a pity we won't see the True Martial rebuilt under your leadership. I only hope that your Dao Path enlightenment will be smooth and that you will break through the blockade of the Mountain and Sea Realm as soon as possible."

Ning Qi couldn't help but say:

"Does it have to be this way, senior?"

The spirit's eyes held a hint of sadness.

"I should have gone long ago, I should have gone the day the ancestor fell, but the True Martial Inheritance cannot be severed. I have lived on in ignominy for so long, that's enough."

He smiled and waved his hand again:

"Furthermore, my presence will prevent you from fully controlling the True Martial Hall. Don't worry, you will have your own spirit weapon."

As he spoke.

With a flick of his finger, a beam of profound light shot into Ning Qi's mind, containing various information about the True Martial Hall.

Ning Qi remained silent for a while. Although they had only spent a short time together, he could sense that the spirit in front of him was gentle and extremely protective of its juniors.

Spots of light gradually appeared.

"Don't grieve for me, I'm just following in the footsteps of my ancestor." The old spirit laughed, and then with a bang, it turned into countless points of light.

Ning Qi whispered:

"Farewell, Spirit Master."

For the first time, he experienced what Inheritance, and he also had a different feeling towards the True Martial, which he had never met before.

Strictly speaking

The True Martial Sect, founded by Daoist Longshan, was originally the seed of the True Martial Sect.

Ning Qi can also be considered a member of the True Martial.

A delicate fragrance filled the quiet room. He remained silent for a moment, then composed himself and began to examine the information the artifact spirit had left him.

first.

The goal is to condense a new spirit within the artifact. Only in this way can he completely control the True Martial Hall, easily utilize every plant and tree within it, and activate its corresponding functions.

Ning Qi sat cross-legged.

He mobilized his spiritual sense and used Secret Method to separate a wisp of it. A slight stinging pain came from his mind, but this little bit did not affect him.

then.

Ning Qi responded attentively to everything around him. Points of light began to emerge all around the quiet room, and with Ning Qi's wisp of spiritual consciousness as the core, the points of light began to condense, and after a moment, they transformed into a human figure.

This was a young Daoist priest whose face bore a five or six-point resemblance to Ning Qi, except that Ning Qi wore a white robe while he wore a black robe.

This is the new artifact spirit.

"Greetings, Master." The newborn artifact spirit's eyes were filled with reverence and admiration for Ning Qi; its core was a wisp of Ning Qi's spiritual consciousness.

Ning Qi somewhat surprised.

As expected of a celestial treasure, its methods are truly profound.

"No need to be so polite, let's just call each other fellow Daoists," Ning Qi said with a smile. "My Ning Qi, if you don't mind, how about I call you Ning Xuan from now on?"

He could feel that he had absolute control over the artifact spirit, and at the same time, he could also sense that although the artifact spirit was centered on his consciousness and absolutely dependent on him, it also had its own unique consciousness.

The old spirit of the artifact had probably spent countless years with the True Martial Ancestor. Although they were not master and servant, they were old friends. That is why the artifact spirit did not hesitate to follow the True Martial Ancestor and die for his cause after finding Inheritance.

With such a gem preceding him, he would naturally respect the existence of the artifact's spirit.

It's a good thing for both of us.

The spirit was clearly very happy:

"I will follow your instructions, fellow Daoist."

He was very satisfied with his name.

"Fellow Daoist Ning Xuan, tell me about the current situation of the True Martial Hall?" Ning Qi's expression turned serious.

The two sat upright.

Ning Xuan slowly said:

"The True Martial Hall is a celestial treasure of the Immortal Abode type, and it mainly has the following functions."

"Firstly, it has the effect of containing Mount Sumeru within a mustard seed; its inner world is vast and self-contained, capable of holding even a small world."

Secondly, they possess the ability to traverse the Boundary Sea, treating world barriers as nothing, and can even survive alone within the Boundary Sea.

"Thirdly, it can be unleashed to fight enemies, its size adjustable; the largest can be as vast as the world itself, with overwhelming power, while the smallest can be as invisible as a particle."

"Fourth, it can shield perception. Combined with the miraculous effect of shrinking to the size of a particle, this two-pronged approach can easily evade the perception of the Dao Integration Realm ancestor, unless the opponent possesses a special Secret Method."

Fifthly, there is the inner sanctum where we are now, which can control the flow of time. Of course, the stronger one is, the less effective it will be.
