True Disciples Follow, Tasks Issued

Five Elements Peak.

Colorful clouds hang in the sky, and waterfalls cascade down.

One by one, powerful inner disciple walked up the mountain with utmost respect.

Over the years, Ning Qi has certainly not been alone. Along the way, he has suppressed many talented fellow disciples, and at the same time, he has earned the respect of many people who are willing to follow him.

Now that the True Disciple have been established, these followers will naturally rise to prominence along with them.

The most monstrous genius in the history of the Wuji Sword Sect!

The immortal seed personally selected by the Supreme Elder!

Such titles were constantly bestowed upon Ning Qi, causing a prolonged upheaval within the Wuji Sword Sect. Disciples privately discussed this extraordinary dark horse who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

For True Disciple...

Ning Qi is an opponent.

Most people knew that it was only a matter of time before Ning Qi surpassed them, but a few True Disciple were unwilling to accept it. What is True Disciple? The position of sect leader is selected from among the True Disciple. Ning Qi had only shown extraordinary talent, and it was impossible for them to give up.

Among this generation of True Disciple, there are many prodigies, especially the current number one True Disciple, Ye Chen, who is Tiansheng and Thunder Sword Body. Before Ning Qi appeared, he had a very high reputation and was known as a potential giant.

Although he is currently in seclusion and cultivating diligently, it is likely that once he emerges and learns of Ning Qi's whereabouts, a fierce battle will ensue.

certainly.

Most of the True Disciple disciples were willing to befriend Ning Qi.

Some of the True Disciple have even started placing bets ahead of time.

For example, right now.

A handsome monk in blue robes came to visit Ning Qi.

Astonished gazes turned to the sky. The sword light landed on Five Elements Peak, seemingly receiving some kind of permission before slowly descending. Then, everyone was stunned speechless by a sincere voice:

"Qin Minghao wishes to follow Senior Brother Ning; I humbly request Senior Brother Ning's mercy!"

This is a veteran True Disciple, though he ranks last among the True Disciple, he is still True Disciple. Now he has taken the initiative to surrender, which is definitely not ordinary. He is very humble. Although he is dozens of times older than Ning Qi, he calls him senior brother without any hesitation.

Qin Minghao's thinking was very simple.

It's better to offer help in times of need than to add flowers to brocade. His talent is average, and the Primordial Spirit Realm might be his limit. Since that's the case, why not take a gamble? Now, he can serve Ning Qi faithfully, and perhaps he can advance further when Ning Qi grows up!

At the summit of Five Elements Peak, a white-robed youth with unparalleled bearing stepped out and personally welcomed Qin Minghao inside. Ning Qi smiled and said:

"Junior Brother Qin, you are mistaken. If you don't mind, we can discuss the Dao together in the future."

With a True Disciple under his tutelage, Ning Qi's prestige soared even higher.

Many True Disciple of average talent were tempted but remained hesitant, while a few exceptionally talented ones disdained it.

Regardless of what the True Disciple thought, many inner disciple and outer disciples became even more fervent after learning the news. True Disciple were extremely proud, and only the best, like the top ten True Disciple, could possibly gain the loyalty of the other True Disciple.

But now, Ning Qi has just become True Disciple, and another True Disciple is already following him.

The implications are self-evident.

In an instant.

Those with potential, both within and outside the inner sect, are scrambling to join the Five Elements Peak.

Ning Qi has achieved True Disciple and has 300 inner disciple slots. Apart from his previous followers, most of the slots are still vacant.

Now, many Purple Mansion True Person are vying to follow him, which has instantly increased his influence within the Boundless Sword Sect.

In the upper ancestral temple.

Each powerful True Disciple often represents a formidable force, some even rivaling the sects outside.

Ning Qi's power gradually grew.

With many loyal and powerful followers, some things become much easier to do.

For example, to find out the movements of the Heavenly Gang Sect.

For example, try to contact the beings who have been reincarnated from the True Martial Realm in the Northern Xuan Region.

For example, finding out the whereabouts of some magical treasures that contain the power of rules.

Mingxin Hall.

Ning Qi sat cross-legged, a three-foot-long golden sword slowly rising and falling in front of his chest, its sharp edge flickering as if it were about to tear through the void. That was pure sword law, but very rare.

Strands of Primordial Spirit power entwined around it, as it tried to comprehend its mysteries.

A series of flashes of inspiration rose from his mind, and Ning Qi easily deciphered the magic contained within them.

"What is the power of rules? In reality, it is the deeper Origin of the world. Within the boundless Boundary Sea, there are various Origin rules. If a world is fortunate enough to absorb a portion of these origins and merge into it, it becomes a spirit realm."

"As for small worlds like the True Martial, they lack the power of rules. Therefore, even though the True Martial has undergone a transformation, it lacks the most crucial element and cannot accommodate cultivators at the Void Dao Realm. At most, it can only allow the birth of cultivators at the Primordial Spirit Realm."

"If I want to step into the Rule Realm, I must first integrate a sufficient amount of the Origin rules."

"There are naturally some within the Boundary Sea, but the Boundary Sea is deep and disordered, and the Origin of its rules is obscure. It all depends on luck. By the time the True Martial manages to capture a portion of the Origin rules, countless years will have passed. Therefore... it would be better to intercept an existing, orderly Origin of rules and use it as a foundation to complement and complete the Origin of rules within the Boundary Sea."

This is the path to promotion that Ning Qi came up with.

Where can we find readily available Origin rules?

It's nothing more than the spirit world.

His gaze fell on the Golden Sun Sword before him, and a slight smile appeared on his face.

"I didn't expect things to go so smoothly. I've only just stepped into the Primordial Spirit Realm, and I already have such a spiritual treasure. Amplifying the killing power of my reincarnated body is secondary; the key is that it's beneficial to my original body's path to becoming a Realm Lord."

"Now I know that for someone in the Primordial Spirit Realm to step into the Void Dao Realm, they must comprehend the power of rules through their Primordial Spirit, thereby inscribing a rule imprint on their Primordial Spirit. This allows them to resonate with the power of rules and possess great power. And every spiritual treasure must also have a rule imprint. For example, the Golden Sun Sword contains a sword rule imprint."

"Whether it's the rule imprints of cultivators above the Void Dao Realm or the rule imprints within spiritual treasures, they no longer belong to the Mountain and Sea Realm, meaning they can be taken away completely."

"If I refine it into the True Martial, it will allow the True Martial to condense the Origin its rules!"

"However, one low-grade spiritual treasure is not enough. A few dozen such spiritual swords would be enough for me to condense a sword rule Origin. Of course, refining a Void Dao Realm cultivator who has comprehended the sword rule would also work, as would a more powerful mid-grade or even high-grade spiritual sword."

Ning Qi was in a good mood.

Once you have a goal, things become much easier.

With a thought, a new task appeared in the minds of many reincarnated beings from the True Martial.

[Obtain the treasure containing the Sword's Rule Mark.]

He planned to use the rules of the sword as the first Origin of his power, since being in the Wuji Sword Sect made it easier to obtain the Origin of the rules of the sword.

For the past twenty-four years, Ning Qi has rarely used this method to issue missions or contact others. After all, this is the Mountain and Sea Realm, and if this ability is used too frequently, it will be bad if the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm notices it. He can only use it occasionally at critical moments.

"Over the past twenty years, nearly 100,000 beings from the martial world have been deployed. With the help of innate wisdom and 'miniature cheat codes,' although they have not yet advanced to the Primordial Spirit Realm, quite a few have stepped into the Purple Mansion Realm, and some lucky ones with good innate physiques are even close to the Perfection the Purple Mansion Realm."

"Their chances of obtaining spiritual treasures are small, but not impossible. Moreover, once their cultivation level is higher, it will be inevitable."

Ning Qi stood up, put his hands behind his back, and put his spirit sword into his Purple Mansion.

His own strength is fundamental; he would never put the cart before the horse.

"Now that the opportunity to break through to the Rule Realm has been found, the next step is to focus on advancing to the Perfection Realm of World Lord."

"Given the current development speed of the True Martial, twenty or thirty years will be enough. By then, my true form will be invincible at the Void Dao Realm, and may even become stronger within the world!"

"However... there might still be an opportunity to speed things up a bit more."

Ning Qi's eyes flickered as he recalled the Black Demon Sect from back then.

The fall of 100,000 cultivators from the Black Demon Sect has brought great benefits to the True Martial. If another few hundred thousand cultivators were to fall in the True Martial, then reaching the Perfection Realm Lord Realm would be a natural outcome.

"Speaking of which... we've almost used up all the 100,000 Mountain and Sea Realm Marks we had back then, and we need to replenish them."

Ning Qi's gaze grew increasingly profound.

A respectful voice sounded from outside the hall:

"Senior Brother Ning, there's news about the matter you instructed us to handle earlier."

It's Qin Minghao.

Ning Qi laughed; it was truly a case of "when you're sleepy, a pillow comes to your door."

Ning Qi walked out of the main hall.

His white robes fluttered like a banished immortal, and the wisps of sharpness he exuded were not yet fully concealed, making him somewhat intimidating. Qin Minghao greeted him with even greater respect.

Having spent half a year with this immortal seed senior brother Ning, he felt increasingly fortunate about his decision. He knew that many True Disciple in the sect looked down on him, feeling that he had lost the dignity and face of True Disciple. Even if Ning Qi was an immortal seed, he should only surrender after Ning Qi's cultivation reached a certain level.

But he scoffed at it.

"If they knew how powerful Senior Brother Ning was, they'd probably be even more frantic than I am."

at first.

Qin Minghao did indeed want to place his bet early on Ning Qi's talent, but after spending time with him, he realized how wrong he was.

For example, at this moment, the wisps of Sword Dao sharpness and Divine Ability aura made him somewhat horrified. He was certain that if he fought Ning Qi, he would not escape being killed. But how long had Ning Qi been in the Nascent Primordial Spirit Realm, and how long had he been in the Nascent Primordial Spirit Realm himself?

The difference is too great.

"Senior Brother Ning is a true prodigy! Not only is his cultivation speed unparalleled, but his combat strength is also unmatched among those of the same realm! Not to mention, Senior Brother Ning occasionally gives me a few pointers, which have actually allowed my cultivation, which had stagnated for many years, to show signs of continuing to advance. How could others possibly understand such unparalleled talent?"

When others mocked his humility, he scoffed at their blindness.

In the blink of an eye.

Qin Minghao spoke respectfully:

"Senior Brother Ning, you previously asked me to investigate the movements of various sects in the Chu Kingdom's cultivation Immortal Realm, and now I have the information."

In the Northern Xuan Region, there are many kingdoms, each very large. The royal family is merely a steward who helps cultivators manage their kingdoms and provides resources. The cultivation Immortal Realm of the Chu Kingdom is the very place where the Black Demon Sect was located.

Ning Qi nodded slowly, and Qin Minghao continued:

"There are hundreds of sects of all sizes in the Chu Kingdom's cultivation Immortal Realm. Leaving aside the minor, insignificant sects, there are more than twenty sects with Primordial Spirit Realm experts in charge."

"The region has been peaceful for the past few years, but more than twenty years ago, a major event occurred. One of its sects, the Black Demon Sect, was said to have been wiped out by a powerful cultivator. Its remaining resources were divided up by the Demon-Slaying Alliance formed by the ten major sects, which led to fierce competition."

"The ten major sects include the Wind and Heavenly Gang Hall, the Heavenly Gang Sect, the Crimson Sun Sect, the Thousand Machines Sect, and so on. This great battle resulted in the deaths and injuries of hundreds of thousands of cultivators, including several True Lord at the Primordial Spirit Realm."

"For the next two decades, there was considerable conflict, which only gradually subsided in recent years."

His words carried a hint of disdain. Born into a prestigious sect and a True Disciple, he might not even look down on the sect leaders of other sects.

immediately.

He then recounted in great detail the changes and developments of each sect over the past twenty years, demonstrating that he had taken Ning Qi's instructions to heart and had not been perfunctory.

Seeing that Ning Qi's expression remained unchanged, Qin Minghao's heart tightened, and he continued:

"The Wind and Thunder Palace seems to have obtained a broken spiritual treasure from the Black Demon Sect and has been keeping it hidden. Besides that, there's the Heavenly Gang Sect. This sect is particularly skilled in array formations. Since participating in the war that destroyed the Black Demon Sect more than twenty years ago, they have kept a low profile and haven't made any major moves."

"Junior brother has investigated extensively and it's highly likely that the Heavenly Gang Sect obtained something even more precious than the broken spiritual treasure from the Black Demon Sect! A while ago, the Heavenly Gang Sect experienced internal strife, and a disciple named Hou Yuan, under a True Lord named Li Linghe, died. This person might have been True Disciple of the Black Demon Sect!"

He finished speaking in one breath, somewhat uneasy.

He was afraid that he might not do well on this first mission and upset Ning Qi.

Ning Qi's gentle voice rang out:

"Junior Brother Qin, you've worked hard."

Qin Minghao breathed a sigh of relief and repeatedly said he dared not.

True character is revealed in the details. Many of the details Qin Minghao recounted would not have been discovered without careful investigation. Ning Qi could tell that this True Disciple was determined to curry favor with him, and he, in turn, obtained the information he wanted.

The Heavenly Gang Sect has maintained a low profile and hasn't made any major moves, which means they have no immediate plans to attack the True Martial. They are most likely waiting for things to calm down before proceeding.

This plan was excellent, but Ning Qi didn't want to wait that long.

He didn't trust that the coordinates of the True Martial were in someone else's hands.

"Since you don't want to fight, I'll help you out." Ning Qi already had a plan in mind.

Qin Minghao prepared to leave.

He wisely refrained from asking further questions. Every True Disciple has their own secrets, and someone like Ning Qi, a seed of immortality, is blessed with great fortune. Since Ning Qi has set his sights on the cultivation Immortal Realm of Chu, even if there are immense fortuitous opportunity within, he will not have any intention of getting involved.

After so many years of experience, he has a very clear understanding of himself.

Ning Qi smiled and tried to persuade him to stay:

"Junior Brother Qin, I've recently gained some insights into the Primordial Spirit Realm and would like to discuss them with you."

Qin Minghao was overjoyed.

This was a tacit form of guidance, and for a moment, he felt that all his hard work over the past few days had been completely worthwhile.

A few days later.

Qin Minghao left with a look of awe, feeling even more convinced and grateful for his decision.

Ning Qi looked up at the sky, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

Next, it's time to see some old friends.
