Bestowing the Dharma, True Disciple Ranking

The news that Ye Chen, the former number one True Disciple, was imprisoned outside the Five Elements Peak has once again secretly spread throughout the entire Wuji Sword Sect.

Everyone felt an unprecedented level of contempt for Ye Chen.

When Ye Chen was the first True Disciple, no one noticed many of his shortcomings.

Even if it exists, it will be automatically beautified.

Now, the immortal Ning Qi easily trapped him, defeating him twice as easily as sweeping away weeds with a sword.

Only then did everyone realize that the position of the first True Disciple should have been filled by someone like Ning Qi.

Compared to Ye Chen, Ning Qi always gave people the impression of having a superior demeanor.

He was neither servile nor arrogant towards the sect elders and sect leaders, and he was even more gentle and kind to those under his command, doing his best to protect them.

If the future sect leader of the Wuji Sword Sect is to be chosen from among the ten True Disciple, then everyone would naturally prefer someone like Ning Qi to be elected.

After all, no one wants their sect leader to be like Ye Chen, who treats even a ninth-ranked True Disciple like Wang Ye like a dog. One can only imagine how he treats the others.

Of course, Ning Qi may never have cared about the sect leader position that they considered unattainable; his vision had long since transcended the scope of the Wuji Sword Sect.

Contrary to Ye Chen and the others' assumptions, there was no new candidate for sect leader; they were simply worrying unnecessarily.

As for Wang Ye's departure from Fenglei Peak, everyone except the Ye Household felt that he was exceptionally decisive.

His actions even inspired more people to follow Ning Qi and join his Five Elements Peak.

After taking Wang Ye into the Five Elements Peak, Ning Qi left everything to Qin Minghao and went into seclusion again.

Gazing at the two spirit swords, one blue and one purple, floating before him, Ning Qi's eyes gleamed with golden light. He channeled his Primordial Spirit spirit into the two swords, carefully comprehending the subtle power of the rules contained within them.

These two spirit swords were low-grade spirit treasures that the Ye Household found specifically for Ye Chen, and they took a lot of effort to find them. They were extremely well-suited to Ye Chen's Wind and Thunder Sword Body.

The Ye Household had made a clever plan, but now it has fallen into Ning Qi's hands.

Ye Chen probably won't have enough time to comprehend the power of the rules and advance to the Void Dao Realm. Ning Qi will likely get there first, and Ye Chen will be incredibly frustrated then.

Ning Qi's Primordial Spirit power and spiritual Spiritual Qi surged into the Purple and Green Swords, instantly causing the Sword Qi in this secluded cultivation place to soar into the sky.

The power of wind and thunder contained within was also released at the same time, with the two colors of blue and purple reflecting each other, making the secret chamber seem as if the sky had changed.

The sounds of wind and thunder were deafening, and the sheer force of the wind seemed capable of cleaving through the void.

"What a fine sword!"

Ning Qi's gaze was intense, and he gave a thumbs-up.

What he valued was not the imposing presence of the two swords, but the power of the rules they embodied.

Wind and thunder complement each other; both are adept at attack and emphasize speed. If the two are combined or even integrated, the power they unleash is unimaginable.

The five elements that Ning Qi is currently displaying are mutually reinforcing and restraining, forming a self-contained cycle.

Ning Qi's idea was that by obtaining the Origin of the sword's rules and integrating it into the True Martial, he could ensure the balance of the rules.

But that doesn't mean Ning Qi is satisfied; he also needs the Wind and Thunder rules.

The myriad rules are essential for the advancement of the True Martial.

By comprehending the power of various rules earlier, Ning Qi will be able to choose which rule is easier to master.

With the blessing of enlightenment, once one understands a single principle, it's as if a path has been carved out in an endless forest of rules, allowing one to move forward, and everything else becomes within reach.

Ning Qi calmed his mind and spirit, clearing his mind and body, and focused his attention on the Purple and Green Twin Swords, carefully comprehending the power of their rules.

He even released the Golden Sun Sword, a gift from Cang Wanhe, for comparison and analysis.

A long, long time passed, and I don't know how many days went by.

Three colors were reflected in Ning Qi's eyes, then slowly faded away.

With his exceptional comprehension and the blessing of the Enlightenment Tree, Ning Qi created several more Divine Ability.

The first is "Golden Sun Breaks the Dawn," which is the version of Yin-Yang Sword Dao that Ning Qi instructed Qin Minghao on.

Qin Minghao's current mastery of the Yin-Yang Sword Dao is nothing more than the two energies of black and white, while Ning Qi's divine Divine Ability tends towards the Dao principles. With a single sword strike, it is like the breaking of dawn and dusk, the transformation of black and white.

It truly lives up to the saying: Nature bestows its most wondrous beauty, dividing day and night with yin and yang.

One is Wind Wing Thunder Feather, a rare Divine Ability created by Ning Qi that combines speed and attack.

Finally, Ning Qi thought of joining Wang Ye of the Five Elements Peak.

As the ninth True Disciple, Wang Ye took the initiative to betray Fenglei Peak, offending Ye Chen and the Ye Household, and came to join him, which can be described as making a do-or-die decision.

No matter what, Ning Qi should at least offer something to ensure that this ninth True Disciple gains something, instead of just making empty promises like Ye Chen did.

Perhaps in the future, other members of the Ten True Disciple will also be unable to resist joining his Five Elements Peak.

Wang Ye's only desire was to perfect the Three-Headed, Six- Military Sha's Body—what's so difficult about that?

Ning Qi not only easily perfected Wang Ye's three-headed, six- Military Sha body, but also prepared a follow-up version.

Three heads and six arms aren't enough?

Ten arms are enough? If ten arms aren't enough, then a hundred arms will do. Ning Qi has even decided on his final form: a thousand arms!

After Wang Ye joined Five Elements Peak, the atmosphere inside was beyond his expectations.

Unlike Ye Chen's Wind and Thunder Peak, the True Disciple on Five Elements Peak, aside from their own cultivation time, would pull anyone they met into a sparring match.

for example:

"Senior Brother Li, don't go! I've recently had some enlightenment; practice a few moves with me."

"Ah, I've also recently had a breakthrough, why don't we verify each other's findings!"

"Hey, Junior Brother Sha, you're leaving in such a hurry. Are you looking for someone to cultivate with?"

"I've recently made some progress; does Senior Brother Zhang also have this in mind?"

"Exactly, then let's have a chat."

At first, Wang Ye thought it was just a coincidence when he saw this scene, but the longer he stayed on the Five Elements Peak, the more he saw the same scene.

Wang Ye's eyes instantly turned red.

On one hand, she hated herself for being so blind, wasting so many years on Ye Chen and squandering her time.

On the other hand, there was a sense of longing. What a wonderful atmosphere! Senior Brother Ning Qi's Five Elements Peak was simply the most promising place for the Wuji Sword Sect.

Wang Ye was also dragged along to practice a few times, and the more he practiced with the disciples of Five Elements Peak, the more jealous he became.

Why do the people on Five Elements Peak always have new ideas after a few days?

His comprehension is just too incredible.

Compared to these people, Wang Ye suddenly realized that he was as naive as a wild man who had just left his hermitage and whose mind had not yet been enlightened.

He remembered being dragged into practice three times by someone, and each time the other person made progress; the speed of their improvement was simply astonishing!

Wang Ye couldn't figure it out, so he told Qin Minghao what he was thinking.

Qin Minghao gave him a meaningful look, then said:

"Senior Brother Wang, you are the ninth True Disciple, and your talent surpasses all of ours. However, we have been following Senior Brother Ning for a long time and have been influenced by him, so it's normal for our inspiration to flow like a spring."

"Once Senior Brother Ning emerges from seclusion, you will definitely gain something, unlike what you experienced with Ye Chen!"

Wang Ye looked hopefully at Qin Minghao and said, "My judgment is not as good as yours, nor is my courage."

Qin Minghao smiled; what he said was true.

The best thing he ever did was to side with Senior Brother Ning Qi.

Then, Qin Minghao dragged Wang Ye to spar a few times.

Every time Wang Ye lost, it was fair and square, leaving no room for argument!

From then on, Wang Ye lost his pride as the Ninth True Disciple and became increasingly humble.

Furthermore, he fully integrated into life at Five Elements Peak and actively participated in various activities.

Of course, Wang Ye also had a hidden worry.

He betrayed Fenglei Peak a few days ago, and Ye Chen and the Ye Household will definitely not let him go.

However, given Senior Brother Ning's prestige, Ye Chen and the others probably wouldn't dare to cause trouble within the sect. But once they left the sect, it was hard to say.

Wang Ye would go to Ning Shixiong's secluded place almost every day, stand in the distance and gaze at it for a while, without fail.

He looked forward to Senior Brother Ning's emergence from seclusion, and to becoming like the others on Five Elements Peak.

On this day, the sky was cloudless, and Wang Ye once again arrived at Ning Qi's secluded retreat location.

Just as he was about to leave, the door suddenly swung open.

Wang Ye couldn't help but look over, and saw blue and purple light shining out, as if the sky had changed.

Amidst the raging wind and thunder, the wind then receded and returned to its source, revealing a figure resembling a white cloud.

Wang Ye's eyelids twitched wildly; he had seen such momentum from Ye Chen before.

Ye Chen possesses the Wind and Thunder Spirit Body, but Senior Brother Ning does not!

As Wang Ye watched the approaching figure, he suddenly felt much shorter, as if he were looking up at a giant.

It hasn't been long, and Senior Brother Ning has already learned Ye Chen's signature move!

Ning Qi's eyes opened and closed, and within them seemed to be the birth and death of a world.

"Since you're here, come with me."

A moment later, Wang Ye, filled with excitement, followed Ning Qi into the main hall.

The two sat down, and a Jade Slip automatically flew out from Ning Qi's body, hovering in front of Wang Ye.

Wang Ye was somewhat confused, not knowing what Ning Qi meant.

"Have a look?"

Wang Ye's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something. His eyes lit up, and a single sentence made Wang Ye lose all his restraint. He excitedly grabbed the Jade Slip and probed it with his Law Power.

Ning Qi smiled but didn't say anything.

At this moment, Lu Ziyue received news that Ning Qi had emerged from seclusion and also rushed here.

"Senior Brother Ning!"

Lu Ziyue called Ning Qi" Senior Brother" again, her tone now more natural and less hesitant than before.

She and Wang Ye entered the Five Elements Peak around the same time, so Lu Ziyue was well aware of the changes on the peak.

Lu Ziyue looked at Ning Qi with her pretty eyes, her heart churning with turbulent emotions.

What kind of existence did she pick up back then?

Ning Qi's own talent was hailed as a divine seed, and he also managed the entire Five Elements Peak in an orderly and prosperous manner, with each of his followers making great progress.

It has formed its own unique style, reminiscent of the scene of renewal at the beginning of time.

Before Lu Ziyue could think further, Ning Qi said:

"Zi Yue, I've also prepared a set of Cultivation Method for you."

Lu Ziyue was pulled back to reality by Ning Qi's words.

"Senior Brother Ning, Ziyue truly doesn't know how to thank you enough."

She still remembers that she benefited greatly from every conversation she had with Ning Qi.

Now that she has finally broken through to the Primordial Spirit Realm, Ning Qi is already as bright as the sun in the sky, and she can only look up at his brilliance.

Unexpectedly Ning Qi had paved the way for her and prepared everything, as if he had pulled her out of the mortal world and sent her to the heavens.

She was aware of her own talent, which was only average even among those True Disciple.

Nowadays, countless True Disciple are desperate to join the Five Elements Peak.

Glancing at Wang Ye sitting upright beside him, it was clear that even a ninth True Disciple like Wang Ye had abandoned Ye Chen to come here, which was enough to demonstrate the status of Five Elements Peak among the True Disciple.

Lu Ziyue knew that countless people in the sect were jealous of her, but fate had been so kind to her.

There's no need for thanks between us.

Ning Qi smiled faintly, his face as bright as the rising sun, his radiance as warm as the morning sun.

Lu Ziyue was straightforward by nature; her eyebrows furrowed slightly, then relaxed again.

She took the Jade Slip from Ning Qi and said:

"Now I have no choice but to cultivate desperately, otherwise, there will always be people like Ye Chen who will use me to target you, and I don't want to give them the satisfaction."

Ning Qi's smile suddenly vanished, and he said domineeringly:

"Believe me, you'll soon be looking down on Ye Chen."

Lu Ziyue suddenly smiled and said, "I believe you."

Just as the two were talking, Wang Ye's spiritual sense slowly returned.

Those at the Primordial Spirit Realm possess incredibly powerful spiritual senses; they can grasp the entire picture in the blink of an eye by reading the Jade Slip.

But at this moment, Wang Ye felt as if he were in a dream. He couldn't believe that he had obtained the complete version of the Three-Headed, Six- Military Sha so easily.

He even scanned the Cultivation Method within the Jade Slip several times, each time bringing him profound enlightenment, like drinking sweet dew.

What alarmed Wang Ye even more was that the version Ning Shixiong gave him was several times better than the original complete version of the Three-Headed Six- Military Sha's Body.

As a practitioner who had been immersed in this method for many years, he not only made his own speculations about the complete version, but he also asked Ye Chen and the elders in the sect to see it.

Everyone came to the same conclusion: the complete version of the Three-Headed, Six-Armed Military Sha's Body Technique could at most increase Wang Ye's current strength by five times, and he would barely have a chance to glimpse the Void Dao Realm beyond.

But Ning Qi's version of the path pointed him in the right direction, making it absolutely certain that he could enter the Void Realm, and he could even get a glimpse of the subsequent realms.

Wang Ye's mind was blank. He scanned the contents of the Jade Slip several times, and some of the contents seemed to contain profound meanings, which he could not understand.

So he sat respectfully to the side, his forehead covered in cold sweat, his heart as heavy as a boulder thrown into a lake.

When Ning Qi and Lu Ziyue saw Wang Ye wake up, they both looked at him.

Lu Ziyue, with her keen observation, noticed Wang Ye's reaction perfectly. She was extremely curious about what Senior Brother Ning had given Wang Ye that could shock the Ninth True Disciple to such an extent.

"Wang Ye, now that you've joined my Five Elements Peak, there's no need to be so reserved. But is there a problem with the Jade Slip?"

Wang Ye's tall frame seemed to shrink into a ball, his head bowed as if performing the gesture of a disciple, before he spoke:

"Senior Brother Ning, the Jade Slip you mentioned, asking me to choose between heavy military force or heavy legal force, this seemingly simple yet profound statement has resonated deeply with me. It has dispelled my confusion and shown me the path ahead."

He paused, then continued:

"But I've fallen into an even deeper confusion, not knowing what this sentence means. Please enlighten me."

Lu Ziyue lightly covered her lips, her eyes sparkling as she gazed at Ning Qi, waiting for Ning Qi to speak.

As one of the ten True Disciple, Wang Ye naturally knew about this matter. She knew that Wang Ye followed Ye Chen because of the incomplete body of the Three-Headed Six- Military Sha, but had never been able to get what he wanted.

Ning Qi, however, easily pointed out the path of cultivation to Wang Ye.

The difference is truly as vast as the moon and the firefly.

Ning Qi said:

Let me explain in detail.

"Zhong Bing, your main focus is on body cultivation, using your own physical body as a weapon, paired with Law Treasure —it's incredibly crude."

Wang Ye felt ashamed and waited for Ning Qi to continue.

"The Law Treasure you're currently using are nothing more than swords, spears, and halberds. If you're going to take the path of heavy weaponry, why not gather a complete set of matching Law Treasure, coordinate them together, and become invincible in battle?"

Wang Ye was excited and seemed to have a sudden realization. He quickly asked, "Brother Ning, what about the heavy method?"

Ning Qi spoke calmly.

"So what if you have six arms and three heads, each wielding a Secret Method? When all those Secret Method are unleashed, who can rival you?"

"Although you primarily cultivate body refinement, if you wish to enter the Void Dao Realm, you must learn Secret Method. Moreover, gathering the necessary magical Law Treasure on your own is definitely too slow and too reliant on Law Treasure. It would be better to focus on techniques; if you want techniques, I have plenty here."

Images seemed to flicker in Wang Ye's eyes as he used his spiritual sense at the Primordial Spirit Realm to calculate the method Ning Qi had described.

Without a doubt, you could tell how excited he was just by looking at his expression.

In one scene, his hundred-foot-tall avatar wields matching magical Law Treasure, forming an array of enemies single-handedly, slaying them all beneath the Law Treasure.

In another scene, his hundred-foot-tall body, with its three heads and six arms, each unleashes Secret Method, moving forth like dragons, and regardless of the type of enemy, all are governed by its laws!

"But no matter which path you choose, be sure to remember these six words."

Ning Qi's voice, loud and clear, timely interrupted Wang Ye's daydreams.

Wang Ye's expression turned serious, and he said, "Please enlighten me, Senior Brother Ning."

"Attack speed, defense, and crowd control—all six elements combined!"

These few simple words once again broadened Wang Ye's horizons.

"If you possess a three-headed, six-armed body and master all methods, who can be your enemy?"

"If you had a defensive shield or corresponding magic on that day, could Qin Minghao have defeated you? If you had the ability to trap people or the speed to do so, others wouldn't even be able to escape. Even against a strong enemy, if you had the power to limit or weaken them, the outcome would be uncertain."

Then, another image appeared in Wang Ye's mind.

If he had had a shield and activated a defensive barrier during his battle with Qin Minghao that day, the opponent's black and white Sword Qi would have been virtually impenetrable.

If he had a Binding Immortal Rope, the opponent wouldn't be able to escape. If he also had Law Treasure artifacts or techniques to limit or weaken others' abilities, then it would be even more impossible.

If he had the corresponding techniques, and he collected a complete set, he could probably beat Ye Chen up right now!

After the group finished their discussion, they concluded their conversation.

Wang Ye looked at Ning Qi with gratitude in his eyes, and at the same time, there was an indelible sense of awe in his eyes.

The man before him casually pointed out his future, and his transcendent demeanor particularly impressed him.

If Ye Chen had given him such great help, Wang Ye was certain that Ye Chen or the Ye Household would want the whole world to know, so that he could continue to serve them as their lackeys for the rest of his life.

But Senior Brother Ning is like the only bright sun in the sky; a single ray of light shining on him is enough to benefit him for a lifetime!

Wang Yexin and Dao were of the same mind, and he secretly swore an oath to follow Ning Qi and be devoted to him to the death.

Wang Ye and Lu Ziyue left one after another, both entering seclusion.

A year then passed quietly.

Over the past year, Five Elements Peak has become increasingly prosperous, and its strength has grown day by day, like a great river flowing into the sea.

Twenty more True Disciple have joined his ranks, each one selected from the best of the best.

Talent aside, his character is impeccable.

As everyone could see, Five Elements Peak seemed to be gathering all the best talents from the Sword Sect.

One year later.

The re-establishment of the True Disciple within the sect caused an uproar throughout the Wuji Sword Sect.

Disciples from all the peaks rushed to the central peaks.

Those with slightly worse conditions rode streaks of sword light of various colors across the sky, while the disciples of Dafeng made their appearance collectively aboard various rare treasures.

At the center of the Wuji Sword Sect's central mountain range, there was an incredibly vast plaza where most of the sect's members had gathered.

A series of celestial steps rise along the edge of the plaza, and celestial platforms are also arranged, like ascension platforms, ascending step by step through the void.

The central high-altitude position naturally belongs to the sect leader, Jiang Baichuan.

Below them, on one side sat the Vice Sect Master Cang Wanhe, and on the other side sat the Supreme Elder Ziyang and Ye Qingtian, among others.

Then come the Ten True Disciple.

The ten most True Disciple of the past are seated atop the ten thrones, suspended in the sky. Ye Chen is first, Jiang Qingxue is second, and so on.

As for the True Disciple outside the Ten True Disciple, sorry, they are not qualified to sit on the Immortal Platform; they can only sit on the Immortal Steps at the edge of the plaza.

Logically, Ning Qi should also be seated here.

However, Wang Ye, the ninth True Disciple, voluntarily stepped down, preferring to sit on the steps himself rather than let Ning Qi be condescended to sit below him.

Ning Qi didn't care about these things, but since Wang Ye insisted, he went along with it.

They won't be staying in their current positions for long anyway!

When the appointed time arrived, Vice Sect Master Cang Wanhe stood up and announced loudly:

"Over the years, my Wuji Sword Sect has produced a wealth of talented individuals who have made rapid progress. Today, we are re-establishing the ranking of our True Disciple."

"The first True Disciple will be rewarded with ten Void Path Purple Gold Pills, one low-grade spiritual treasure, and a Void Path Cultivation Method of their choice."

"The second True Disciple will be rewarded with five Void Path Purple Gold Pills, one high-grade Law Treasure, and a Void Path Cultivation Method of his own choosing."

"The third True Disciple will be rewarded with one Void Path Purple Gold Pill, one high-grade Law Treasure, and a Void Path Cultivation Method of his own choosing."

"The Fourth and Fifth True Disciple..."

Cang Wanhe didn't waste any words and directly gave out the rewards for the True Disciple disciples after the rearrangement.

The rewards for the top three were the envy of many disciples, as they were given in accordance with the treatment for advancing to the Void Dao Realm.

The Void Path Purple Gold Pill takes ten years to refine a single batch. It is usually consumed by Void Path Realm experts to increase their cultivation and comprehend the power of the rules.

Spiritual treasures are extremely precious, and among the True Disciple, apart from Ning Qi, Jiang Qingxue, and Ye Chen, probably no one else possesses one.

"Furthermore, the ten newly True Disciple Sect as they journey to the Xuanzhen Secret Realm. You are all aware of the fortuitous opportunity there, so I will not elaborate."

After Cang Wanhe finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Baichuan, the sect leader, who was in the main seat.

Jiang Baichuan nodded and said directly:

"The battle for the ranking of True Disciple has officially begun!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the square below erupted in cheers.

Forget about the rewards, the mere temptation of entering the Xuanzhen Secret Realm was enough to make all the True Disciple present so excited that their eyes turned red.

The disciples immediately turned their gazes toward He Tian, who was seated on the tenth throne.

He Tian sat upright, facing the intense gazes of the crowd, undaunted and fearless.

However, his true feelings were not like that. A year ago, Qin Minghao of Five Elements Peak defeated Wang Ye, the ninth True Disciple, and he felt a sense of crisis at that time. In this ranking of True Disciple, he was the most likely to be eliminated!

Therefore, he has never rested for the past year and has been diligently cultivating himself in order to cope with today's crisis.

On the plaza, figures flew out one after another, landing on the plaza. Without exception, all of them were challenging He Tian!

He Tian had no choice but to do his best, displaying the immense magical Law Power of one of the Ten True Disciple, hoping to scare away more people.

Fortunately, his hard work this year did not go to waste. In more than a dozen battles, He Tian still stood proudly on the square, showing no signs of defeat!

But then a figure suddenly appeared in the air above the plaza, making his eyelids twitch – it was Qin Minghao!

Qin Minghao glanced at the somewhat astonished He Tian, smiled slightly, then shifted his gaze to the eighth True Disciple, Luo Zhan, and pointed his sword horizontally!

"Senior Brother Luo, I hope to have the honor of a duel with you!"

He Tian sat back on his throne, a light sweat on his forehead.

His feelings were incredibly complex. He was both dissatisfied that Qin Minghao had ignored him and relieved that Qin Minghao hadn't chosen to fight him.

With these complex emotions in mind, He Tian glanced at the plaza steps. Countless eyes were still scanning him, clearly indicating that those guys had not given up.

His mind raced; even his True Disciple hadn't given up, so he couldn't let this opportunity slip by!

Luo Zhan took a step forward and appeared opposite Qin Minghao.

A sword flew out from behind him and hovered in the air.

The sword was entirely covered in a black glow, with an exceptionally long blade and no edge, only a tip.

It resembles both a spear and a lance; one wonders which master swordsmith crafted it.

Luo Zhan felt much the same way as He Tian that year. With Qin Minghao's rise and the sudden emergence of the immortal seed Ning Qi, he also felt a strong sense of crisis.

"Bring it on!"

After speaking, Luo Zhan made the first move.

He reached out and grabbed the spear and sword, and instantly thousands of sword shadows shot out, each one appearing to be a solid entity, making it impossible to distinguish between reality and illusion.

He himself seemed to have already merged into the sword shadows, leaving no trace whatsoever.

Qin Minghao reacted quickly, drawing his sword the instant Luo Zhan made his move.

Black and white Sword Qi crisscrossed, forming a huge cross-shaped sword Sword Qi that slashed towards the countless black sword shadows in the sky.

The moment the two made their move, it immediately drew the attention and astonishment of everyone in the square.

"As expected of one of the Ten True Disciple, their mere move told us we couldn't withstand them!"

"We already know Luo Zhan's strength, but Qin Minghao is the most astonishing. He was once one of us, yet now he's fighting the Eighth True Disciple to a standstill."

In the arena, the sword shadows of the two clashed, instantly creating a surging wave of Spiritual Qi.

Intertwined within this were clashes of Primordial Spirit power and individual understandings of Cultivation Method paths.

Qin Minghao's black and white Sword Qi crisscrossed, forcefully cutting a cross-shaped gap in Luo Zhan's sky full of sword shadows, the shadows still showing residual power.

Luo Zhan's myriad sword shadows suddenly retracted, condensing into a gigantic sword shadow carrying incredibly solid Primordial Spirit Law Power, seemingly stabbing and crashing towards Qin Minghao.

Qin Minghao narrowed his eyes slightly. Having followed Senior Brother Ning for so many years, he had already seen through Luo Zhan's changes.

The seemingly unified sword shadows burst forth with unparalleled power, yet they appeared to have merged into one, offering an opportunity to dodge.

But Qin Minghao knew he had nowhere to hide!

Because Luo Zhan's sword shadows had already reached a level where they could be released and withdrawn at will, if he tried to dodge, he would inevitably be attacked again by the enormous sword shadows, which would then transform into countless swords that would block all directions, trapping him like a sword trapped in a jar!

Qin Minghao swung his sword down, as easily as a knife cleaving through rotten wood!

The Sword Qi formed by the intertwining of black and white energies crisscrossed, emitting a hazy light, as if at dawn or dusk.

The square seemed to plunge into darkness for a moment.

By the time everyone could see clearly, Qin Minghao's sword was already positioned in front of Luo Zhan's neck.

"Clatter!"

Luo Zhan's spear and sword fell to the ground in the square.

Luo Zhan's face turned pale, and he simply said, "I lost!"

These three simple words, like a boulder thrown into a lake, once again sparked a flurry of discussion among the crowd in the square.

Some were incredulous, some were shocked, and some were envious and jealous...

Qin Minghao surprised everyone far too much; is this the growth that comes after following the Immortal Seed?

Last year he defeated Wang Ye, the ninth True Disciple, and this year he defeated Luo Zhan, the eighth True Disciple. If this continues, wouldn't it be...?

Even the powerful figures on the High Platform glanced at him. They suddenly felt that Ning Qi should not be the True Disciple, but rather the teacher who imparts knowledge and instructs students within the sect.

If everyone could receive guidance from Ning Qi, wouldn't all the second-rate True Disciple like Qin Minghao be able to reach the strength of the top ten True Disciple?

Only Ye Chen couldn't keep his composure; his face was as black as if it had been smeared with soot.

Regardless of what others thought, Qin Minghao showed no arrogance, displaying the dignified demeanor of the Five Elements Peak, and then sat down on Luo Zhan's eighth seat.

Luo Zhan then sheathed his spear and sword and stood at one side of the edge of the square.

His gaze swept quickly over He Tian and Wang Ye, the meaning of which was self-evident.

He Tian's expression changed, but he didn't say anything.

Instead, Wang Ye stepped out of the air and landed on the square.

Luo Zhan remained silent and did not make a move immediately, because he saw that Wang Ye's gaze was directed at Mo Zang, the sixth True Disciple!

Mo Zang narrowed his eyes, and like a Fierce Beasts awakened from its trance, he instantly teleported to the square.

"Very well, you actually chose me!"

"Senior Brother Mo, please enlighten me!"

Mo Zang, as the sixth True Disciple, is also an anomaly in the Wuji Sword Sect.

This person always gives off a dangerous feeling, with a fierce glint in his eyes, making people feel that he is not actually human, but a reincarnation of Fierce Beasts.

A surge of primordial Primordial Spirit power and Spiritual Qi was released without any concealment, faintly showing a blood-red color, and even carrying a pungent, fishy smell.

Immediately, the power of his Primordial Spirit and Spiritual Qi enveloped his body, causing Mo Zang's body to swell up like an inflating balloon.

At the same time, several strange swords appeared one by one, some like nails, some like fangs, some like claws, and some like sharp blades.

Those unfamiliar with Mo Zang gasped upon seeing this.

These are truly disciples of the Boundless Sword Sect. Where is the sword now? Only the boundless sword remains!

Before he could even be surprised, those strange swords, like armor, appeared one by one on Mo Zang's body, as if they were an extension of him.

Mo Zang suddenly resembled a beast king standing upright, his entire body radiating sharpness.

It has horns on its head, a mouth full of fangs, sharp blades at the tips of its elbows, and claws on its hands and feet.

Wang Ye's body followed closely behind Mo Zang, swelling upwards towards the sky.

Suddenly, two oddballs appeared in the square.

On the left is Mo Zang, who appears to have transformed into a beast; on the right is a giant with three heads and six arms, standing a hundred feet tall.

Although Mo Zang's power was exceptionally fierce, its height was only ten zhang.

Of course, height doesn't mean everything!

Mo Zang leaped into the air, and a blood-red mist suddenly appeared between his four claws, making it impossible to tell whether he was controlling his qi or his sword.

The person resembled a giant tiger demon, riding the clouds as it pounced out, biting down on Wang Ye's thick thigh.

However, the response to his lunge was a dull, resonant impact.

"Clang!"

Mo Zang was thrown back by the force of the impact, landing on the plaza and shaking his head.

His fierce eyes widened in disbelief. When did Wang Ye develop such a strong defense?

Wasn't Wang Ye always exceptionally confident in hand-to-hand combat because he was a body cultivator?

What is he holding in his giant hand?

It emitted a bluish-green light, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a tortoise shell.

Wang Ye actually used a tortoise shell as a shield, placing it in the direction Mo Zang was about to attack.

In addition, a hexagonal defensive barrier composed of primordial Primordial Spirit Spiritual Qi mixed with vast spiritual energy also burst forth from the tortoise shell, blocking Wang Ye's hundred-foot-tall figure.

Mo Zang was momentarily stunned. He paced cautiously across the square, like a predator searching for the right angle during a hunt.

But Wang Ye didn't give him much of a chance. A silver whip appeared out of nowhere from the six giant hands.

In an instant, the whip flashed across the sky, striking straight down like a club, stirring up the clouds and leaving a white mark!

Mo Zang suddenly opened his massive maw, and a terrifying roar resounded throughout the arena, shaking the heavens.

A crimson shockwave rose against the sky, displaying his indignation, accompanied by his mouthful of fangs.

The fangs, arranged in a defensive formation, seemed to form a unique, beastly biting force against the air currents, determined to gnaw through Wang Ye's whip shadow.

"Clang!"

Then, the tortoise shell that blocked his path just happened to stop Mo Zang's attack, leaving him speechless.

He had no choice but to ride the four-clawed crimson cloud, frantically dodging the descending whip shadows.

However, as if on purpose, the whip shadow changed shape as it fell, twisting and turning before landing beside him.

Worse still, the whip's shadow instantly bristled, transforming into countless strands that clung to his body, binding him like a dumpling, before he fell to the ground.

As the battle progressed, Mo Zang felt like a wild beast caught in a hunter's trap, with everything under Wang Ye's control.

He unleashed the strange sword shadows emanating from his entire body, attempting to break free of the cage.

But then a strange, subtle fragrance wafted into his nostrils, and Mo Zang instantly felt his body go limp, as if the Spiritual Qi and Primordial Spirit power within him were loosening.

He managed to peek out from under the ropes, only to see a hundred-foot-tall giant looking down at him, its three enormous heads staring intently at him.

The giant mouth of the head directly in front of him was slightly open, and wisps of Dao Fire Seeds, driven by Primordial Spirit Spiritual Qi, were faintly visible within its mouth.

I surrender!

Only then did Wang Ye release him from the cage.

Mo Zang, panting heavily, stared at Wang Ye with lingering fear, then glanced at Ning Qi in white sitting in Wang Ye's seat.

In just one year, Wang Ye has grown so rapidly, a world of difference from before. It goes without saying that it's all thanks to that immortal seed!

Wang Ye withdrew his three-headed, six- Military Sha body and returned to its original state.

Today's battle made him even more convinced that Senior Brother Ning's guidance was absolutely correct.

He defeated the sixth True Disciple, Mo Zang, with ease, which was completely unexpected.

It turns out that Senior Brother Ning's improved Three-Headed Six- Military Sha Body is terrifyingly powerful!

The crowd in the square was instantly filled with excitement.

Some people were so shocked they almost dropped their jaws, but what they all had in common was that their eyes shone like two lanterns, constantly scanning back and forth between Wang Ye and Ning Qi.

One year!

In just one year, Wang Ye followed the immortal Ning Qi, and such a qualitative change occurred. Who wouldn't be excited?

Unfortunately, the Five Elements Peak is now far too strict in accepting followers, making it extremely difficult for them to enter.

But even difficulties are better than no opportunities at all!

High in the air, Ye Chen nearly bit off his tongue. He clenched his fists and his eyes blazed with Spiritual Qi.

Wang Ye has really turned his life around!

Before there was time to think further, suddenly, a chorus of exclamations erupted in the square.

A figure soared into the sky like a celestial cloud, transforming into the sole blazing sun in the heavens.

Ning Qi looked down at Ye Chen, who sat on the throne of the First True Disciple, and said calmly:

"Get out of here."
