Twelve Sects' Expedition Against the True Martial World
All eyes turned to the Heavenly Gang Sect. Feng Lei True Lord and the others also felt heavy-hearted. They were unaware that the Wuji Sword Sect disciple had died in the Heavenly Gang Sect. They only thought that the current Wuji Sword Sect disciple, Ning True Disciple, had come for the coordinates of the small world.
Everyone cursed the Heavenly Gang Sect in their hearts. Why didn't they just leave such a treasure to the cultivation Immortal Realm of Chu Kingdom to digest? Instead, they were so careless as to attract such a powerful figure.
At the same time, they were secretly cursing Ning Qi. As True Disciple of a prestigious sect, what Divine Ability powers and treasures could he not have? Why did he have to compete with them for such insignificant little things?
Jiang Chenghuan shuddered and led many Heavenly Gang Sect disciples forward:
"We have met True Disciple Ning!"
He was very respectful.
At this point, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and proceed, secretly hoping that the other party might not know about it.
Ning Qi remained silent, but Qin Minghao was enraged first. His gaze was like a sword, seemingly piercing through the sect's protective formation.
"How dare you! Senior Brother Ning is here in person, why don't you immediately activate the sect's protective formation and answer him!"
Each of the True Disciple unleashed their auras, glaring angrily at the Heavenly Gang Sect. Such behavior was nothing short of blasphemy, causing the Heavenly Gang Sect members to change color.
Jiang Chenghuan hesitated for a moment, but Qin Minghao had already bowed and said:
"Senior Brother Ning, could I please lend you my spirit sword?"
His cultivation level was good, but he couldn't break through the formation so decisively on his own. However, with the support of the spirit sword, it would be a different story.
Ning Qi raised an eyebrow:
"Can."
With a wave of his hand, a spirit sword as dazzling as a golden sun appeared in the void. Many Primordial Spirit Realm True Lord were both envious and in awe. This was the True Disciple of the upper sect. Even some powerful Rogue Cultivator could not produce such a spiritual treasure, yet he lent it to his subordinates at will.
The sword's edge gleams, its blade emitting a frosty radiance.
The members of the Heavenly Gang Sect felt their scalps tingle, and Jiang Chenghuan quickly waved his hand:
"Activate the great formation immediately!"
Li Linghe dared not hesitate. He formed a hand Method Formula, and the layers of colorful clouds that had been surrounding them gradually dissipated, revealing the entire Heavenly Gang Sect to everyone. Without the protection of the sect's protective formation, the Heavenly Gang Sect members, under the pressure of the Primordial Spirit Realm True Lord, had tense bodies and their Law Power was somewhat stagnant.
But Ning Qi's presence was too oppressive.
Jiang Chenghuan dared not hesitate at all, otherwise there would be no turning back.
He stepped forward, bowed, and hurriedly explained:
"True Disciple Ning, please calm your anger. I meant no disrespect, but they have gathered at the Heavenly Gang Sect with the intention of attacking and destroying our sect. I had to be cautious. I hope Master Ning True Disciple understand!"
True Person True Lord Fenglei cursed inwardly.
Qin Minghao snorted coldly and respectfully stepped back behind Ning Qi.
Ning Qi lowered his gaze and calmly looked at Jiang Chenghuan:
Do you know why we've come to find your Heavenly Gang Sect?
Several Nascent Primordial Spirit Realm True Lord from the Heavenly Gang Sect felt their scalps tingle and their bodies stiffened instantly. Their Primordial Spirit were poised to unleash a devastating attack at any moment.
Jiang Chenghuan was the first to bear the brunt, and felt an immense pressure, like that of a mountain.
But at this critical moment, various images flashed through his mind: the four disciples of the Wuji Sword Sect who had suddenly attacked earlier, and now the timing of this True Disciple Ning's appearance was just right.
A sudden inspiration struck him, and a precious pearl emitting a faint light appeared in his hand.
"True Disciple Ning, please forgive me! I happened to obtain the coordinates of a small world, which I intended to offer to True Disciple. I have troubled True Disciple to come in person; it is my fault!"
He was incredibly humble.
My palms were sweaty.
At this moment, he recalled many things, including the various disturbances in the cultivation Immortal Realm of Chu Kingdom in recent years, and the many pieces of information that inexplicably appeared in the hands of others. Each and every one of them was chilling to think about. Ning True Disciple in front of him seemed to have transformed into an unparalleled giant, looking down on the cultivation Immortal Realm of Chu Kingdom.
He was filled with awe, and simply presented the precious pearl with both hands, holding it above his head.
All eyes were fixed on them. The coordinates of the small world that led to the destruction of the Black Demon Sect were indeed in the hands of the Heavenly Gang Sect. But as soon as this thought crossed their minds, the faces of True Lord Feng Lei and the others turned grim. Now that Ning Qi, this great Buddha, had arrived, it was no wonder that they would be bitten off a piece of flesh.
A True Disciple the Wuji Sword Sect sneered:
"Just some coordinates from a small world, what do you take our Senior Brother Ning for?"
His gaze was like a sword, severing any inappropriate emotions.
Jiang Chenghuan panicked. Meeting Ning Qi's calm gaze, he hurriedly explained:
"True Disciple Ning, please calm down. The coordinates of this small world are not simple. In the cultivation Immortal Realm of Chu, two sects, the Golden Spirit Sect and the Black Demon Sect, were destroyed for conquering this small world. These two sects were not weak, each with about ten Nascent Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators."
"Oh?" Ning Qi's eyes flickered.
Hou Minghao and the others also became interested.
Even though they came from a powerful sect, they knew that a sect with such a foundation could easily conquer a small world. The fact that a problem had arisen meant that this small world was not simple and might contain fortuitous opportunity!
Jiang Chenghuan felt reassured and continued to explain:
"According to our deductions, the world's will in this small world most likely developed intelligence, which is why the Black Demon Sect went to such lengths, even resorting to blood sacrifice. However, some unforeseen event occurred, leading to their complete annihilation. But now, with True Disciple Ning here, everything is practically guaranteed!"
Everyone was breathing heavily.
The world's will to give birth to wisdom is so powerful that sacrificing one such small world is equivalent to sacrificing a hundred small worlds.
Even the True Disciple of the Wuji Sword Sect couldn't help but have a glint in their eyes.
"Congratulations, Senior Brother Ning!" the group greeted respectfully in a low voice.
Qin Minghao's heart was filled with turmoil. He recalled that a few years ago, Ning Qi had asked him to investigate the cultivation Immortal Realm of Chu Kingdom. He knew that Senior Brother Ning probably already knew everything, and he felt even more awe and respect. The more he spent with Ning Qi, the more he realized how unfathomable he was.
Feng Lei True Lord gritted his teeth, wishing he could strangle Jiang Chenghuan to death.
But Jiang Chenghuan simply held up the precious pearl respectfully.
The atmosphere was somewhat tense.
Ning Qi was observing the precious pearl.
"Is this the world coordinate system?" he wondered to himself, clearly sensing a familiar aura.
Where do the coordinates of the small world in the Mountain and Sea Realm come from?
Some of them were formed spontaneously by the Mountain and Sea Realm and landed in various parts of the world.
A portion of them came from cultivators who ascended from smaller worlds.
Some people, after ascending from smaller worlds, gradually realize the cruelty of the immortal path and begin to plot against their homelands. In a sense, this is the "start-up capital" they carry with them after their ascension.
The coordinates of the True Martial originate from the autonomous condensation of the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm.
As for those ancestors who ascended to heaven, eight or nine out of ten are already dead.
The spirit realm is vast, and most of the powerful beings who ascend from smaller worlds do not achieve great things.
"These world coordinates, autonomously condensed by the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm, can only exist once at a time. If I were to destroy them, and they were to be condensed again someday and scattered in other places, it would be undesirable. The best way is to keep them in my hands for safekeeping."
"Of course, before that, we need to make the best use of these people."
With that thought in mind, a wisp of spiritual energy wrapped around the pearl amidst the complex gazes of the crowd, and landed in Ning Qi's hand.
Ning Qi's lips curved slightly:
"Not bad."
Upon hearing this...
The entire Heavenly Gang Sect felt a sense of relief, a mixture of helplessness and sorrow.
But what can they do? Even if they know it's very likely a trap set by the other party, they can only put on a smiling face and go along with it, even praising it, swallowing their pride and grievances.
Feng Lei True Lord and the others exchanged bewildered glances, also feeling aggrieved.
Just when we were about to reap the rewards, someone stole the peaches halfway through.
"This Jiang fellow is utterly spineless. He was yelling at us fiercely just now, but now he's as meek as a dog in front of the Wuji Sword Sect disciples."
The True Lord cursed inwardly.
Leaving is not an option, nor is staying.
They were reluctant to leave, but if they didn't, and this True Disciple Ning thought they were still coveting the pearl, they would be in big trouble. The previous Giant Axe True Lord was a cautionary tale.
Hesitantly.
Ning Qi tossed the precious pearl in his hand and said casually:
"Sect Leader Jiang, you just said that the Golden Spirit Sect and the Black Demon Sect were destroyed because they tried to wipe out this small world?"
Jiang Chenghuan quickly said:
"Exactly! However, there are some differences. The Golden Spirit Sect was greatly weakened and then ambushed and destroyed by the Black Demon Sect. After that, the coordinates of the small world fell into the hands of the Black Demon Sect, while the Black Demon Sect was completely wiped out within the small world. Everything about the small world is just my speculation, and I don't know the specifics."
He carefully observed Ning Qi's expression, and after noticing the number of disciples standing on the three-colored treasure boat, his heart skipped a beat, and a trace of excitement rose within him.
"If True Disciple Ning is willing, our Heavenly Gang Sect is ready to be the vanguard!"
He simply couldn't accept missing out on this fortuitous opportunity; he'd rather have had some soup.
Feng Lei True Lord and the others also realized what was happening, cursing Jiang Chenghuan as an old fox while also speaking out:
"True Disciple, my Wind and Thunder Hall and Crimson Sun Sect... are willing to serve you like dogs and horses!"
One by one, the sect leaders bowed their heads before Ning Qi.
The scene stirred the hearts of everyone present. When had the many cultivators in the Chu Immortal Realm ever seen such a sight? They were all deeply shocked. This was not only due to Ning Qi's power, but also because of the power of the Wuji Sword Sect, one of the overlords of the Northern Xuan Region!
Of course, if it were any other True Disciple, they would never be so humble.
Ning Qi's title of "Immortal Seed" is also key.
These are destined to be powerful figures in the future, and there will be many more.
Ning Qi gazed at the various sect leaders, a slight smile appearing on his face:
"Wouldn't it be inconvenient to trouble you sect leaders?"
Everyone quickly shook their heads:
"True Disciple Ning, you're too True Disciple. It's our honor to serve you!"
They were eagerly waiting, and no one could force Ning Qi to agree.
Ning Qi remained silent, seemingly deep in thought.
Everyone felt tense.
After a moment, Ning Qi smiled:
"Very well, it just so happens that I didn't gather the Sword Sect disciples on this trip, and it would be troublesome to return to the Sword Sect. Since all the sect leaders are so enthusiastic, I would like to trouble you all to lend me a hand. How about this, I will go to the small world myself, and each of your sects will send five disciples at the Nascent Primordial Spirit Realm and fifty thousand disciples at the Law Power Realm or above, which will save me a lot of trouble."
"Of course, I'm not stingy. I'll take 50% of the profits from conquering the smaller worlds, and you can divide the rest equally according to your contributions."
Ning Qi spoke slowly and deliberately, yet with an air of superiority that commanded no dissent.
The sect leaders all felt a chill run down their spines.
He immediately began to ponder it carefully.
If 50% of the profits are distributed among each sect, it's probably equivalent to conquering four or five small worlds. This is a great deal!
Jiang Chenghuan spoke first:
"Master Ning's righteousness is True Disciple admirable! All the Heavenly Gang Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators of our Heavenly Gang Sect are willing to go there en masse!"
Everyone was initially taken aback, but after a moment's thought, they couldn't help but curse Jiang Chenghuan as an old fox. This move seemed dangerous, but it was actually very safe. Just imagine, with the Wuji Sword Sect, a prestigious immortal sect, leading the charge, and twelve sects joining forces, what small world couldn't they conquer?
The entire clan went there.
In this way, they can both demonstrate their loyalty and secure a larger share of the market.
Ning Qi chuckled, his gaze towards Jiang Chenghuan softening even more. This guy is a good person.
The others were even more restless.
"Our Wind and Thunder Palace is also willing to send the entire sect there!"
"My Crimson Sun Sect is no exception!"
Everyone went crazy.
Contributing more effort now means receiving more benefits later. At this crucial moment, even those sects that have always acted cautiously decided to gather the majority of their forces to go, lest they regret it later.
Ning Qi nodded with a smile:
"In that case, we'll meet at the Heavenly Gang Sect. You'll have half a month; otherwise, we won't wait."
Everyone felt a chill run down their spines.
They knew that time was limited, as they needed to gather cultivators within the sect and prepare resources for the world passage, but no one dared to utter a single word of objection.
Are you kidding me?
It's already a favor that they're willing to take you out; to be so picky shows a lack of self-awareness.
"We will obey Ning True Disciple's orders!"
The sect leaders bowed and retreated, streaks of light piercing the sky. The previously noisy Heavenly Gang Mountain gradually quieted down. Jiang Chenghuan cautiously said:
"Then for the next two weeks, we would be grateful if Master Ning would True Disciple our humble sect with his presence."
Ning Qi waved his hand casually:
"Master Jiang, you're too kind."
Both of them tacitly avoided mentioning the previous four disciples of the Wuji Sword Sect, as if it had never happened.
Half a month passed in a flash.
The entire cultivation Immortal Realm of Chu sensed an unusual aura.
Although I don't know what happened at the Heavenly Gang Sect that day.
But prices don't lie.
The large-scale purchase of elixirs, Law Artifact, and talismans has caused the prices of these items to rise by 10% to 20%, and has even affected the surrounding cultivation Immortal Realm. Fortunately, the impact is short-lived, so it has not yet attracted much attention.
Only the native cultivators of the Chu Kingdom's cultivation Immortal Realm had a rough idea of what was going on.
This day.
Streaks of light pierced the sky and landed at the Heavenly Gang Sect.
Layer upon layer, vast and mighty.
They were arranged in an orderly fashion above the Heavenly Gang Sect, each wearing spiritual armor and holding a magic Law Artifact. The lowest level of cultivation was the Law Power Realm, and there were quite a few at the Purple Mansion Realm.
A True Disciple, Wei Feng, watched the battle from afar, marveling at it.
"These people are really crazy. They're probably betting everything they have to gain a bigger share."
Qin Minghao glanced at him and said:
"That's only part of the reason. More than that, they just want to make a good impression on Senior Brother Ning. In fact, for them, being valued by Senior Brother Ning is an even greater fortuitous opportunity!"
Wei Feng paused for a moment, then nodded:
"That's right, if they could even have some connection with Senior Brother Ning, it would benefit them immensely!"
The True Disciple of the Wuji Sword Sect around him all nodded in agreement.
During the conversation.
More and more cultivators gathered in the sky, like dark clouds that stretched as far as the eye could see.
There are twelve sects, forming twelve square formations, clearly distinct from each other.
There are approximately one million cultivators in total, among whom there are a total of eighty-two at the Primordial Spirit Realm.
Everyone was excited.
Such a spectacle had not appeared in the cultivation Immortal Realm of Chu for many years. The last time was when it was summoned by the upper sect to start a local war in the spirit realm. Now it has reappeared because of that young man.
All eyes were drawn to the white-clad youth, shrouded in golden light and exuding an extraordinary aura.
Li Linghe and other array masters were already prepared. They formed hand Method Formula, and with a loud boom, a huge world passage appeared before everyone.
Ning Qi looked down at everyone, his gaze calm:
"Set off!"
