The Limitless Sword Sect's Strongest Genius in History
Beixuan Territory.
Ningjiazhai.
Ning Qi slowly opened his eyes, but instead of being embraced and surrounded by warm arms as he had imagined, he was lying in swaddling clothes just like when he crossed over to the True Martial.
Listening to the occasional commotion outside, such as "Search carefully, see if any women are hiding," and "Move everything back to the mountains," even though he was now the ruler of a realm, he couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.
Could it be that I am truly a cursed lone star?
This start was even worse than the last time. Last time, at least I vaguely saw my relatives, but this time I didn't even see them.
He subtly sensed his surroundings.
The cause and effect were immediately clear.
This small village called Ningjiazhai was massacred by bandits, leaving no survivors. This time, the parents are likely dead as well.
Ning Qi sighed softly.
Although he didn't want to have too many worries, if he could have arrived sooner, he might have been able to save these people. As for now, he could only sigh.
Unlike the last time when he was isolated and helpless and could only wait for Daoist Longshan, this time, Ning Qi had the ability to protect himself.
His current realm is incredibly high, and he possesses numerous methods. Even before he has begun cultivating, he can use Secret Method to resonate with spiritual Spiritual Qi simply by relying on his powerful spiritual soul. Dealing with cultivators below the Law Power Realm is not a big problem for him. The bandits outside are merely at the Acquired Realm and Perception Realm.
"Very well, at least I'm free of worries. After dealing with these bandits, I can find a wealthy family to grow up in, and then slowly make my plans. It would be best to join the Northern Profound Upper Sect, the overlord of the Northern Profound Domain, which would make things easier for my future actions."
Ning Qi secretly made a plan.
He could sense that some power imprints were echoing on the Northern Xuan Region side. Once his reincarnated body reached the Primordial Spirit Realm, he would be able to learn about the various details that happened to the Black Demon Sect through these power imprints.
"Then we'll know where the coordinates of the True Martial lie."
Ning Qi, showing no sign of tension even as the bandits outside drew ever closer.
There's nothing to fear.
He resonated with the descending wisps of Spiritual Qi, which were about to erupt.
But suddenly.
A powerful aura swept in from the distant horizon, its icy shout carrying a palpable killing intent:
"A bunch of beasts! They didn't even spare the old, weak, women, and children! They deserve to die!"
A horrified cry for mercy rang out.
That cold, harsh voice rang out again:
"Remember, I am the Purple Sword True Person of the Wuji Sword Sect!"
In an instant.
Thousands of sharp Sword Qi fell, and screams rose and fell, but they subsided completely in just a few breaths.
Ning Qi's heart skipped a beat.
"The Wuji Sword Sect is another prestigious sect in the Northern Xuan Region. This Purple Sword True Person is probably just an inner disciple of the Wuji Sword Sect who happened to be passing by."
In ordinary sects, True Person at the Purple Mansion Realm can be considered True Disciple, but in superior sects, such a level can only be attained by inner disciple.
In an instant.
He didn't know if he was lucky or unlucky, but someone came to his rescue in his moment of crisis, and the person in question was quite influential.
With a thought, Ning Qi used invisible Spiritual Qi to stir up the charcoal beside him and write the two characters "Ning Qi" on his undergarments.
soon.
A figure opened the cellar door and appeared in front of Ning Qi.
With a graceful figure, flowing purple robes, and sword-like brows, she was a truly sharp and proud female sword cultivator. Lu Ziyue looked at the only survivor before her, sighed softly, and picked her up.
"Poor little fellow, if True Person arrived even half a moment earlier, you wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable state."
She smiled gently, lightly teasing Ning Qi's wrinkled face, looking at the crooked characters "Ning Qi" on Ning Qi's swaddling clothes.
"Little Ning Qi? After I complete my mission, I'll find you a wealthy family, so that our fate won't have been in vain."
Ning Qi looked at the female sword cultivator in front of him and smiled brightly.
Lu Ziyue felt inexplicably happy. Then, her expression changed, and she carefully sensed that there was still residual Spiritual Qi around Ning Qi. She couldn't help but laugh with joy:
"A Tiansheng body! This is an exceptionally fine seedling of immortality. It seems we are destined to meet. In that case, let me take you back to the Boundless Sword Sect!"
Bringing back a promising young talent would bring a reward from the sect, and it would also give Ning Qi a good place to go. It was a win-win situation, so she was naturally happy.
Lu Ziyue carried Ning Qi and stepped into the air, disappearing into the distance.
Once he was safe, Ning Qi gradually drifted into a light sleep.
Although I didn't join the Northern Profound Sect as planned, the Boundless Sword Sect is still pretty good. It's a sect of considerable power, so it's a decent start.
He communicated with his true self, sensing it deeply.
It has been discovered that reincarnated beings from the martial world have perished.
"It seems there are still some variables in reincarnation as an infant. Even if the reincarnated ones are extraordinary, they will still encounter uncontrollable forces. In the future, we still need to find ways to continue to improve this method and try to retain a portion of our cultivation from the beginning."
but.
Only a very small minority perished; after all, most had a normal start.
Ning Qi observed the surroundings as he went, while recalling the information about the Wuji Sword Sect that he had obtained from the three Black True Lord.
"There are ten major sects in the Northern Profound Domain. The Northern Profound Sect is undoubtedly the number one among them, and it is even rumored to have a giant in the Integration Realm. However, the other major sects also have their own strengths and should not be underestimated. The majority of the members of the Boundless Sword Sect are sword cultivators, and their offensive and defensive skills are unparalleled. It is said that the strongest sword cultivator in the sect is powerful enough to make even giants slightly wary."
"Thinking about it that way, the Boundless Sword Sect isn't so bad after all."
"I wonder how the others are doing now. There are dozens of people who have been reincarnated in the Northern Xuan Region. What are their current situations? But even if we meet again soon, it will probably be decades later."
"Enough of thinking about it. The most important thing right now is to recover my cultivation as soon as possible. I need to reach the Primordial Spirit Realm to have any room for planning. I don't expect that even if the coordinates of the True Martial are in the hands of another sect, they won't appear anytime soon."
Ning Qi set his goal and then carefully observed the Mountain and Sea Realm from Lu Ziyue's arms.
Everywhere there are endless, vast mountain ranges, and occasionally plains carved out by the power of cultivators, with kingdoms nestled within them.
"The Mountain and Sea Realm is indeed vast, with abundant Spiritual Qi and extremely stable space. The destructive power of the same cultivation level is completely different in the lower realm and the spirit realm. For example, a cultivator at the Perception Realm can burn mountains and boil seas in the lower realm, but in the spirit realm, they are far less powerful."
"As for the world's will... it's hard to say for now; we'll deal with it gradually in the future."
Among the various realm systems, Ning Qi's primary focus is naturally on the Mountain and Sea Realm itself.
He meticulously recorded all the differences, and insights began to rise within him. He was already eager to improve his strength.
However, Lu Ziyue did not immediately return to the Wuji Sword Sect. This time, she went down the mountain to complete a mission. She led Ning Qi through the mountains, searching for clues and spending several months to finally kill a Devil Cultivator at the Purple Mansion Realm. This fully demonstrated the strength of the sect's disciples and drew countless exclamations.
Then it made a strong comeback.
Before the Mountain Gate the Wuji Sword Sect, Lu Ziyue let out a soft breath, somewhat relieved:
"I'm finally back!"
Ning Qi looked at the immortal sect before him with some surprise in his eyes. One after another, sword peaks soared into the sky, their sharpness endless, and various colors of immortal light adorned them. The waterfalls and starry rivers were dazzling. Moreover, there were sword peaks suspended in the middle, draped in the glow of the sunset and dyed with rainbows. What a magnificent immortal paradise!
Among them were cultivators, each with a powerful aura hidden within, including some that even Ning Qi himself feared.
Seeing Lu Ziyue looking over, Ning Qi immediately burst into laughter, gesturing wildly.
Lu Ziyue smiled and said:
"You little rascal are quite perceptive, aren't you? Knowing you're about to join the Wuji Sword Sect, you must be very happy, right?"
During this time, she was repeatedly amazed by Ning Qi's intelligence and spirituality.
In addition, with a Tiansheng body and an affinity for Spiritual Qi, such aptitude would certainly qualify one to join a sect.
He tossed his inner disciple's waist token over, and the inner disciple guarding the mountain immediately bowed respectfully.
"Greetings, Senior Sister Lu Ziyue!"
In the cultivation Immortal Realm, strength is paramount. Today you are strong, you are the senior sister; tomorrow he will be strong, he will be the senior brother.
Lu Ziyue resumed her icy demeanor, flew to the mission peak on her sword to hand in the mission, and then took Ning Qi to the Transmission Peak. For infants like Ning Qi, the Wuji Sword Sect had a special place to house them.
A disciple specifically in charge of this matter received him, conducted a thorough examination, and then smiled and said:
"Congratulations, Senior Sister! This child Tiansheng body. You have gained a great deal this time. You can go to the front peak to collect your reward later. As for this child, he can stay here. When he reaches the right age, an elder will begin to teach him cultivation. There is no need to worry."
Lu Ziyue nodded slowly. Bringing Ning Qi back was partly for the reward, but more importantly, she wanted to give Ning Qi a place to go.
"Little Ning Qi, you stay here and behave yourself. I'll come see you again in a while!"
Ning Qi responded with a smile.
After spending several months together, he learned that although this Purple Sword True Person was a bit too murderous, he was actually a pretty good person. Although the True Martial and the Mountain and Sea Realm were destined to be enemies, he didn't think that everyone in the Mountain and Sea Realm deserved to die.
Watching Lu Ziyue depart, the disciple clicked his tongue in amazement, glanced at Ning Qi, and murmured:
"It's rare to see Senior Sister Lu so gentle. Could this boy be her illegitimate son? The Ning family? There is a Ning Lineage in Chiyunchuan. I wonder if his father is from there?"
Ning Qi was stunned when he heard this person's rambling gossip.
They were immediately left speechless, unsure whether to laugh or cry.
However, this was only human nature, so he ignored his disciple's teasing and went into a light sleep.
The disciple cheerfully escorted Ning Qi to the infant care center. Instantly, a deafening cacophony of cries erupted, sending chills down Ning Qi's spine.
But no matter what.
Ning Qi then stayed there.
He became a member of the Wuji Sword Sect.
Time passed.
Ning Qi grew up day by day, and Lu Ziyue kept her promise and came to see him every now and then. Although True Person of the Purple Mansion Realm sometimes went into seclusion for a long time, it was better than nothing. Thanks to Lu Ziyue's care, Ning Qi received more preferential treatment than other babies.
In the blink of an eye, he was already five years old.
At this age, he was old enough to begin cultivation, and Ning Qi began cultivating along with many other disciples of the same batch.
These infants, picked up by the inner disciple, are different from those who join the sect after reaching adulthood. They generally have much better aptitude and therefore receive more resources. However, there are also requirements: if they cannot reach the Law Power realm and become outer disciples before the age of thirty, they will be sent out to serve the sect.
Of course, this requirement is not difficult; many powerful individuals can reach the Law Power Realm upon reaching adulthood.
At the age of five, Ning Qi began his cultivation and immediately displayed extraordinary talent.
In just one year, he reached the Perfection of the Acquired Realm and stepped into the Perception Realm, causing quite a stir on the Transmission Peak.
Lu Ziyue came upon hearing the news, her eyes filled with joy as she looked at him.
It's true that the two have a good relationship, but if Ning Qi doesn't strive for progress, this relationship will naturally fade away. Now, however, it's taken a step further. Lu Ziyue left with a smile, offering some encouragement and leaving behind some elixirs. Most importantly, she told Ning Qi to call her "Senior Sister" from now on.
Lu Ziyue felt that Ning Qi extraordinary and could be on par with her in the future, or even surpass her.
Three years later, Ning Qi turned nine. He naturally stepped into the Law Power Realm and became an outer disciple ahead of time, amidst the envious and awe-inspiring gazes of his fellow cultivators.
Ning Qi caused an even bigger sensation.
Some people knew that a talented disciple had emerged from among the orphans adopted by Chuan Gong Peak, and came to befriend him. However, the stronger individuals paid no attention, because the mere Law Power Realm was not worth their attention. Becoming Purple Mansion Realm expert was the beginning of becoming a strong person. In the early stages, they made rapid progress by taking spirit medicine and elixirs, but there were many examples of them fading into obscurity afterward.
Lu Ziyue was even more delighted. She was certain that Ning Qi was extraordinary and had a limitless future. She even spent some time teaching him about immortal cultivation. Although Ning Qi didn't need it, he was very grateful. In return, he intentionally or unintentionally infused Lu Ziyue with some spiritual light from the Primordial Spirit Realm, which often brought her great benefits.
Five years have passed again.
Ning Qi was fourteen years old. He Perfection of his Law Power realm and then broke through to the next realm, becoming a True Person of the Purple Mansion Realm and being promoted to inner disciple.
From that moment on, Ning Qi's name truly resounded throughout the Wuji Sword Sect. Many True Disciple turned their attention to him, wanting to recruit him, but Ning Qi politely declined them all. Originally, some True Disciple wanted to secretly teach Ning Qi a lesson, but the summons from the Wuji Sword Sect's vice sect master made them give up some inappropriate thoughts.
Ning Qi performed well in front of this powerful expert, receiving many rewards and admiring glances.
But he knew that from the moment he stepped into the Wuji Palace, many eyes were constantly scanning him, and the light of spiritual treasures was faintly shining on him. This was the Wuji Sword Sect testing everything about him, lest he be possessed by some old monster.
Fortunately, Ning Qi overcame the crisis without serious injury, earning praise from many powerful figures and further enhancing his prestige.
This was the cultivation speed he had calculated long ago, which was just right at the threshold of being a prodigy. He was just letting the Wuji Sword Sect routinely test it.
Otherwise, if he had gone all out, how could it have taken him nine years to reach the Purple Mansion Realm?
But it's unnecessary to do it too fast. If someone reaches the Purple Mansion Realm in just a few years, they wouldn't be a prodigy. They would probably attract a lot of scrutiny from all sides to see if there's anything strange about it.
This speed is just right.
This would both prevent the Wuji Sword Sect from eyeing the weaker members when they were weak, and also avoid being too unusual and provoking the malice of the Mountain and Sea Realm's will.
Once you reach the Primordial Spirit Realm and condense your Primordial Spirit, there will be no more problems.
despite this.
As his cultivation deepened, Ning Qi also earned the reputation of being the number one prodigy of the inner sect.
Lu Ziyue was stunned. She had witnessed Ning Qi grow from a helpless infant to this level, far exceeding her imagination. Now, his cultivation was almost catching up with hers.
This day.
Lu Ziyue arrived under the starry night to meet Ning Qi. After a moment of reflection, she left with mixed feelings.
"Junior Brother Ning, now that you're leaving, I'll be going into seclusion to break through to the Primordial Spirit Realm. I hope your path to immortality will be smooth sailing from now on."
She felt a sense of crisis deep down.
She felt that Ning Qi was about to overtake her, and the thought of having to call Ning Qi" senior brother" made her feel inexplicably awkward.
Ning Qi simply shook his head and chuckled.
With his subtle influence, it shouldn't be difficult for Lu Ziyue to break through to the Primordial Spirit Realm, but how long it will take is hard to say. He understood Lu Ziyue's meaning: she would not leave seclusion until she reached the Primordial Spirit Realm. For this reason, he spent some time buying merit points to avoid not having to go out and take on missions for the next few decades.
He had a premonition that he probably wouldn't see them for a while.
In the blink of an eye, another ten years have passed.
That year, Ning Qi was already twenty-four years old. He was not only the number one prodigy of the inner sect, but also the number one strongest member of the inner sect.
He was revered by countless disciples, and even the True Disciple respected him.
Many people are speculating when Ning Qi will be able to master the True Disciple, perhaps making him the most powerful genius in the history of the Wuji Sword Sect.
That year, Lu Ziyue had been in seclusion for ten years and had not yet emerged.
Ning Qi, on the other hand, is about to become True Lord of the Primordial Spirit Realm.
