Old Grandpa

Waves surged across the vast lake.

The silver light emanating from the nearby tomb of a Nascent Soul Realm expert shone on the combatants.

Qin Minghao and his two companions were seen besieging one person on the giant lake, but the figure wielded a large sword and defended himself with an impenetrable defense!

Ning Qi looked over and recognized the person as Fu Chen, the mysterious Rogue Cultivator that Niu Man had mentioned.

Ning Qi had seen him once when he entered the Xuanzhen Secret Realm.

Fu Chen's physique was as solid as a rock, outstanding and extraordinary. He wore a blue cloak and his messy hair was casually draped over his shoulders.

The blood-red broadsword he carried on his back was now gripped with both hands, and he swung it down relentlessly.

With each slash, a crimson blade of energy would appear and disappear into the sky!

These blood-red sword energies were three zhang wide and ten zhang long, incredibly solid, and seemed to have blood and fire burning on them.

From a distance, it appears as if streaks of red clouds have emerged from its silvery-white hue.

Meanwhile, Qin Minghao, Jiang Qingxue, and Wang Ye, who were facing him, were giving it their all to deal with Fu Chen's attacks.

Qin Minghao wielded his sword, unleashing both black and white energy.

The white mist blocked the incoming crimson blade energy, while the black energy shot towards Fu Chen like a flying arrow.

However, Fu Chen made no attempt to defend himself.

His physical strength and foundation far surpassed the three of them, allowing him to unleash his blade energy much faster and extinguish Qin Minghao's Sword Qi.

Wang Ye stood to the west, and the three-headed, six- Military Sha, a hundred feet tall, had already been unleashed.

Even though he used all sorts of Law Treasure to attack, combining them into a formation, he still couldn't defeat this person.

Neither his binding techniques nor the Primordial Spirit fire he spoke of could get close to Fu Chen's true form each time he unleashed them.

Jiang Qingxue's two jade-like feet stepped into the air, and the lake below automatically formed a water bridge, allowing her to walk on the waves.

She actually has the advantage in places with water. Every move she makes can stir up the water in the lake, turning it into giant waves or icebergs, which then crash down on Fu Chen.

But just like Qin Minghao and Wang Ye's attacks, they were all neutralized before they even got close.

Ning Qi noticed the problem from the side.

Fu Chen's foundation is indeed deeper than the three of them. Whether it is his Law Power, Primordial Spirit power, spells, physique, speed, or the spiritual treasures he uses, he surpasses the three of them.

He too reached the limit of the Primordial Spirit Realm, just one step away from stepping into the Void Dao Realm.

However, Qin Minghao and his two companions have clearly not reached that stage yet.

The more Jiang Qingxue attacked, the more shocked she became, and a sense of defeat crept into her heart.

First, she sensed that Qin Minghao and Wang Ye beside her had surpassed her in cultivation, and she immediately felt that her progress over the past ten years had been too small.

Secondly, even so, the three of them combined were still suppressed by Fu Chen.

They all knew about Fu Chen's situation; Rogue Cultivator without any sect or faction, yet he was so powerful.

One can only sigh that there are simply too many geniuses in the world of mountains and seas; there are always people more capable than oneself, and heavens beyond heavens.

Jiang Qingxue was truly unwilling. The image of Ning Qi flashed through her mind. Perhaps only Ning Qi was like an immortal descending to earth, could suppress Fu Chen.

As for Fu Chen, he was secretly alarmed by the three men's performance.

Wasn't it said that the Northern Profound Domain was weak, with only one top-tier sect? How come the disciples of the Boundless Sword Sect are so fierce?

He had the right to say this, because he single-handedly challenged all the sects in the Southern True Domain except for those with a Nascent Soul Realm expert in charge, and the top True Disciple of those sects all fell to his blade.

These three from the Wuji Sword Sect were all comparable to, or even slightly surpassed, the top True Disciple of the sects he had defeated, which was truly unbelievable.

Fu Chen was also helpless. He only wanted to force everyone back and explore the silver tomb ahead, but he didn't expect the two sides to be deadlocked for so long.

Even though his strength surpassed everyone else's, he dared not kill them. After all, he was Rogue Cultivator, and if he offended the upper sect, the consequences would be dire.

The two sides have been fighting for a long time and both know that continuing the war will only benefit the other side.

Suddenly, Jiang Qingxue stood in the void, her left fingertips holding a hexagonal ice crystal, a flawed mid-grade spiritual treasure used during the ranking of True Disciple, which she was about to press against her brow.

However, at this moment, Ning Qi's arrival was finally noticed by the fighting group.

Qin Minghao and the other two were all delighted. Jiang Qingxue breathed a sigh of relief and put away the hexagonal ice crystal in her hand.

Fu Chen naturally noticed Ning Qi as well.

For some reason, seeing Ning Qi's approaching speed, the hairs on the back of his head stood on end. In all his years of wandering the Southern True Domain, this was the first time he had ever felt this way.

An aged voice also sounded in my mind at just the right time.

"This is bad! The newcomer is probably close to the Void Dao Realm! Chen'er, run!"

Upon hearing this, Fu Chen dared not say another word and acted decisively.

His Blood Qi surged, and he used a secret treasure, instantly transforming into a blood rainbow. He broke through the encirclement of the three, startling Jiang Qingxue and the other two!

When Ning Qi saw Fu Chen fleeing, a hint of surprise appeared on his face.

His Primordial Spirit power covered a range far exceeding that of everyone present.

When Fu Chen fled earlier, he clearly sensed an unusual fluctuation from Fu Chen.

After a moment's thought, Ning Qi recalled what Niu Man had mentioned about Fu Chen, which must be related to the mysterious Inheritance he had received.

Ning Qi, carrying Xie Chaolu, instantly appeared in front of everyone.

"Senior Brother Ning, you've finally arrived!" Jiang Qingxue's beautiful eyes lit up with joy.

"Senior Brother Ning is truly amazing; he scared Fu Chen away as soon as he arrived." Wang Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

Qin Minghao shook his head, seemingly quite regretful, and said, "It's a pity that Fu Chen is quite strong, but we didn't see Senior Brother Ning suppress him."

Ning Qi smiled and asked, "Where is Junior Brother Qingxiao?"

Jiang Qingxue replied, "Junior Brother Qingxiao was injured by Fu Chen, so we let him rest in front of the tomb."

Ning Qi nodded slightly.

"By the way, Senior Brother Ning, are we going to pursue Fu Chen?"

Ning Qi said calmly, "Since he's so sensible, let's not pursue him. The most important thing now is to open the giant's tomb."

Ning Qi's gaze suddenly swept to three corners in the distance. Apart from the few people present, the commotion had already attracted the attention of disciples from other sects.

However, when they saw Fu Chen earlier, they did not approach him, but instead observed from a distance, waiting for an opportunity.

Now that Ning Qi was looking at them, those people suddenly felt like ordinary people being stared at by tigers and wolves.

Furthermore, since Fu Chen was frightened away by Ning Qi's sudden appearance, they dared not stay and immediately activated their Law Treasure to flee.

Seeing this, Qin Minghao and the other two admired Ning Qi even more.

A person's name, a tree's shadow.

The name of Ning Qi, the Immortal Seed, is known throughout the North and South, but most people don't really care about it. There are even many people like the Feathered Ascension Sect that Ning Qi destroyed, who simply don't take him seriously.

But Fu Chen, who was just on par with the top True Disciple of the elite sect, fled quickly upon seeing Ning Qi.

This immediately gave those onlookers who knew nothing about Ning Qi a very profound understanding!

Ning Qi led the group to the giant's tomb.

The fifth True Disciple, Wu Qingxiao, immediately clutched his chest and rose to greet him.

"Senior Brother Ning!"

"Qingxiao."

Ning Qi took a close look at him and discovered that his sternum was completely fractured and showed no signs of recovery.

You must understand that as long as cultivators at the Primordial Spirit Realm can still absorb Spiritual Qi and utilize their Primordial Spirit power, there is absolutely no possibility of them suffering physical injuries.

If there are still injuries, it must be from someone of a higher level.

A blood-red palm print remained on Wu Qingxiao's chest, demonstrating Fu Chen's formidable power.

Ning Qi immediately stretched out a palm and brushed it across Wu Ning Qi's chest, instantly drawing away the remaining blood fire Law Power on it.

Ning Qi carefully sensed the power within. Sure enough, Fu Chen had reached the limit of the Primordial Spirit Realm. Through his Law Power, he could sense that Fu Chen was only one step away from generating the power of rules.

Returning to his senses, Ning Qi handed Wu Qingxiao a bottle of healing medicine he had collected, saying, "Take this first, so you can recover quickly and continue fighting."

Wu Qingxiao was excited. Ning Qi had relieved his pain as soon as he arrived. How fortunate he was to have such a senior brother!

"Thank you, Senior Brother Ning!"

Then, Ning Qi looked at the colossal tomb mound, which resembled a small mountain.

Compared to the bronze tombs encountered before, the tomb of the Nascent Soul Realm expert had a stronger Dao Resonance, seemingly connected to the surrounding terrain, forming a unified whole.

The entrance to the tomb was a cave, emitting a dense, silvery-white light, making it impossible to see what was inside.

Have you dealt with the Fierce Beasts guarding the tomb?

Qin Minghao replied, "Senior Brother Ning, that Fierce Beasts was a water snake with two horns on its head, coiled up in the giant lake ahead. It was killed by Fu Chen earlier."

Ning Qi nodded, "Alright, that saves us the trouble of doing anything. Let's go in and take a look, see what's hidden in the giant's tomb!"

At the entrance to the cave, a thick, transparent barrier blocked the way.

A five-colored hand rose from Ning Qi's body and tore them apart, leaving the others speechless.

They had already tried, exerting all their strength to break through the obstacle, but to no avail.

Let's go!

Fu Chen fled, leaving a trail of blood behind him, within which wisps of smoke could be seen.

He fled for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before finally letting out a sigh of relief when he saw that no one was chasing him from behind, and then landed on the plains below.

Fu Chen sat on the grass, picked up a bright yellow gourd from his waist, and took a big gulp of wine.

Then he muttered to himself, "Teacher, is Ning Qi really that scary? Could you be mistaken?"

Suddenly, a phantom made entirely of Spiritual Qi emerged from the gourd in his hand, yet it was also clearly angular.

The illusory figure was a slightly hunched old man with a receding hairline and a mustache, giving him a somewhat comical appearance.

The old man sat cross-legged beside Fu Chen. He pointed at the gourd, and a wisp of Spiritual Qi emerged from it, which Fu Chen then consumed.

"Chen'er, I've followed you for so many years, experiencing so many dangers. Have I ever made a mistake in reporting anything?"

Fu Chen stared at the illusory figure and honestly shook his head. "No."

His teacher appeared suddenly one day after he dug up this gourd from the mud when he was burying his parents as a child.

With this gourd, Fu Chen would always have strange dreams after falling asleep each night. In his dreams, a hazy figure would teach him the method of cultivation.

Thus, Fu Chen made rapid progress and embarked on the path to immortality.

He asked his teacher about his background, and the teacher explained that his name was Wei Wuyai, and he was a Dao Integration Realm ancestor of a major immortal sect before the destruction of the Xuanzhen Domain.

"That's right. Why are you starting to doubt my teachings now?" Wei Wuyai said with displeasure.

Fu Chen smiled, "That Ning Qi is known as a Celestial Seed, but I think he's only at the level of the top True Disciple of a top sect. At most, he could be the top True Disciple of two domains. I really can't understand what's so scary about him that makes you treat him like this, Teacher."

Wei Wuyai gave a bitter smile.

"Boy, you can't sense the strangeness about him, but let me tell you, you're no match for him. Why bother trying to compete with him now?"

"Your most important task right now is to obtain the complete Inheritance of the Bloodfire Immortal Sect. You can get your revenge later."

Fu Chen frowned. Even when his teacher Wei Wuyai met Niu Man, Ren Zong, and Chu Xiaotian, who were among the top sects, he had never said these words to him. He was quite shocked and also felt a little resentful.

"Teacher, Ning Qi has only risen to prominence in a few years. Do you think he might also have someone behind him, just like you?" Fu Chen suddenly asked.

Wei Wuyai was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Anything in this world is possible. Since you have had such an extraordinary encounter, perhaps Ning Qi really is just like you."

Fu Chen stroked his chin. "If he's really like me, doesn't that mean his teacher is even more capable than you?"

"Are you looking for a beating?"

Fu Chen chuckled and stopped provoking the old man, but he chose to obey his teacher and decided to do as he was told.

Before entering the giant's tomb, Ning Qi six companions sensed the locations of the remaining three True Disciple of their Wuji Sword Sect.

They discovered that two of them had already gathered together, but all three were still quite far from their current location, and it would probably take several days for them to reunite.

Ning Qi was the first to enter the tomb.

His body radiated a five-colored divine light that stretched three zhang (approximately 10 meters), enveloping all five people behind him.

Qin Minghao and the others were enveloped in that warm light, and they felt a sense of security they had never felt before.

Inside the tomb, a winding mountain path took about fifteen minutes for the group to reach its end.

Ahead was a spacious cavern nestled in the mountainside.

Illuminated by Ning Qi's five-colored divine light, even the finest dust within was clearly visible.

The group looked at the earthen wall in front of them, where there were nine holes.

If you get a little closer, you can see that the wind speed coming from each of the cave entrances is different, suggesting that they lead to different places.

"Senior Brother Ning, what should we do?" Wang Ye asked.

Jiang Qingxue frowned slightly and said, "How about we split up? But there are six of us in total, so even if we split up, we won't be able to get through all of them. There are still three cave entrances we'll miss."

"If we're unlucky, we might have to turn back and choose again."

Her words reflected the thoughts of the others.

No one knows where these openings lead or what dangers lurk within.

Apart from Ning Qi, none of the others were truly confident, since this was not the tomb of a powerful being radiating bronze light, but rather the tomb of a giant at the Integration Realm radiating silver light.

The dangers hidden within are immense. They are only at the Primordial Spirit stage, and if they were to encounter them alone, it would be extremely perilous. If they were unlucky, they might even perish.

Ning Qi stood in front of them and said calmly:

"No need for all that trouble, just come with me!"

"Huh?" The group exclaimed in surprise.

"Senior Brother Ning, if we do it this way, trying each cave entrance one by one, it will take too long. What if people from other sects come later and get there first? That would be terrible!"

Ning Qi smiled.

"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, no one can get in!"

He spoke without any arrogance, as if he were simply announcing a fact.

Apart from Qin Minghao, the other four were momentarily shocked.

Ning Qi summoned a purple sword and casually swung it towards the path he had come from. A purple Sword Qi, crackling with lightning, instantly cleaved the road behind him.

At the same time, the Sword Qi did not dissipate, but instead emitted the True Intention of thunder, with purple lightning flashing in all directions.

Upon seeing this, the group was once again alarmed.

They rarely saw Ning Qi make a move. The last time they saw him was ten years ago during the sect's ranking of True Disciple. But back then, the techniques Ning Senior Brother displayed were just a matter of releasing and withdrawing, and the opponent definitely couldn't withstand them.

Now, seeing Ning Qi's lingering Sword Intent, the group felt a sense of unease.

They knew they would never dare to step into that Sword Intent, even if they attacked from a distance to neutralize its energy, they feared they would exhaust all their strength and still be unable to shake it.

The group was immediately convinced.

"Alright, let's move on."

Ning Qi chose the central entrance and entered, with the others immediately following behind.

The road was sloping, and everyone could feel that it was heading towards the mountainside.

Before long, a roar suddenly came from ahead, the sound like ten thousand fingertips scraping against glass, extremely eerie.

The two True Disciple in the group immediately felt a chill run down their spines.

Jiang Qingxue and Xie Chaolu held hands, their faces slightly pale, but when they saw the fearless figure in front of them, their fear vanished instantly.

As the eerie sound drew closer, Ning Qi quickened his pace.

Finally, they found themselves deep in the mountains.

Its inner earthen walls are extremely smooth; upon closer inspection, one can see that the surrounding earthen walls appear to have been scratched out entirely by fingernails.

As they entered the space, the eerie sound vanished without a trace, and the entire space became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Only the sound of everyone's footsteps reached my ears.

Suddenly, everyone clearly heard that there seemed to be an extra footstep among their footsteps.

Listen carefully to where it comes from; it seems to be coming from behind you.

When I turned around, it seemed like I had fallen behind me again.

Jiang Qingxue and Xie Chaolu even stood back to back looking at each other, but what terrified them was that the voice still appeared behind them.

As for Wu Qingxiao and Wang Ye, they were also feeling a chill run down their spines.

The most terrifying enemy is the one you can't see!

If they hadn't been enveloped by Ning Qi's five-colored divine light, it's likely that the group would have found it extremely difficult to remain calm.

They couldn't help but turn their gaze to Ning Qi ahead.

How will Senior Brother Ning deal with these strange footsteps? Will he be able to find the enemy?

Ning Qi suddenly stepped to the left and thrust his sword straight into the earthen wall.

Blue blood was flowing from that earthen wall, and it smelled extremely foul.

Ning Qi drew his sword, bringing with him some soil and a terrifying creature that was neither human nor ghost.

The creature was already dead, its eight limbs white and wrapped in human skin, yet twisted and scattered like spider legs.

Its body resembled a gluttonous ghost, twisted from back to front, its neck twisted several times, its yellow hair standing on end, two horns on its forehead, and a blue face with fangs.

"Could this be the legendary demon?"

Jiang Qingxue said.

Wang Ye's Adam's apple bobbed. "Whatever it is, its appearance is truly disgusting."

"You'd better hold back, because there's still one more." Ning Qi's voice came calmly.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately took precautions to guard their surroundings, but they still couldn't find him.

Even though the power of his Primordial Spirit penetrated several feet into the earthen wall, he did not detect any fluctuations in life.

Everyone felt uneasy when Ning Qi suddenly took out the Golden Sun Spirit Sword given to him by True Person Ziyang.

He formed Sword Art with his hands, channeling his spiritual Spiritual Qi and Primordial Spirit spirit into the Golden Sun Sword. Instantly, the Golden Sun Sword burst forth with blazing light, resembling a sun!

Ning Qi pointed to a certain spot, and the sun transformed from the Golden Sun Spirit Sword instantly sliced through it, leaving a large hole several meters long, wide, and deep in the earthen wall.

"Walk!"

Ning Qi led the group into the cave in an instant.

After they rushed into the large hole, the space they had been in was thrown upside down and left and right by the earth and rocks, just like an earthquake, and a thousand miserable cries echoed throughout.

Everyone turned to look.

The area they had come from had completely changed color, from brown to deathly white, and a colossal creature appeared.

The group's eyelids twitched wildly; it turned out that what they had just been walking on wasn't a road, but rather traversing inside a living being.

Without a doubt, that creature was an enlarged version of the one Ning Qi had previously assassinated!

Judging by its size alone, it probably occupies one-tenth of the volume of this colossal tomb.

Everyone felt a wave of fear wash over them; even the male disciples like Qin Minghao and Wang Ye broke out in a cold sweat.

The enlarged version of the demon thrashed a few times before dying.

Everyone looked at Ning Qi with burning eyes.

"Senior Brother Ning, did you already see it?" Jiang Qingxue asked.

Ning Qi retrieved the Golden Sun Spirit Sword.

"Yes, I discovered it before the nine entrances."

Xie Chaolu suddenly hugged her arms tightly and said, "Senior Brother Ning, could it be that all nine cave entrances are a maze set up by this ghost demon?"

"I suppose so. Actually, the patterns engraved on the tomb entrance tell you what's inside, but you probably didn't notice them."

"Huh?" Everyone exclaimed in surprise.

They recalled that there were indeed patterns engraved at the entrance of the tomb, but they simply regarded them as decorative patterns.

Senior Brother Ning not only memorized it all, but he also deduced the layout of the cave from it. This...

Is the difference between people really that great?

"Let's go. With that giant demon present, I'm afraid no creature inside the tomb will survive. Let's continue."

Everyone felt dizzy and quickly followed.

Just as Ning Qi had predicted, there were no more demons or monsters blocking the way inside the tomb.

Although there were Formation, mechanisms, and traps, Ning Qi walked straight ahead as if on flat ground.

Finally, the six arrived at the largest space in the heart of the mountain.

In the center of the room was a jade platform, upon which lay a skeleton.

As the crowd drew closer, about to examine the bones more closely, they turned into bone dust and vanished from the jade platform.

On the jade platform, two doors opened like cabinets, displaying the tycoon's entire collection.

One of the jade burial suits was intact, its surface shimmering with starlight, clearly indicating its extraordinary value.

Everyone's hearts pounded; this was actually a complete mid-grade spiritual treasure. The giant's tomb had indeed yielded a rich harvest.

That's a complete mid-grade spiritual treasure, the Jade Embroidered Robe, its value is equivalent to ten low-grade spiritual treasures.

Judging from its material, it is probably much better than the complete Wind Dragon Scale Armor that Ye Chen used before.

Besides these, there were also five low-grade spiritual treasures in the jade cabinet: three swords, one saber, and one spear.

A Jade Slip containing a set of Cultivation Method techniques, specifically the "Jade Warmth and Smoke Generation Technique"!

The cultivation method mainly describes treating both the physical body Primordial Spirit as jade for cultivation. When the time is right, one can place jade armor on the physical body and the Primordial Spirit to defend against all attacks.

This is a rare defensive martial Cultivation Method!

In addition, fifty Void Dao Purple Gold Pills and ten Heaven and Earth Unity Pills were also found. These Heaven and Earth Unity Pills are the pills used by the Integration Realm, making it a truly fruitful haul.

"I will value all these gains and then divide them equally once we return to the sect, how about that?" Ning Qi said.

Although money is tempting, the group did not compete for it, but instead said:

"Senior Brother Ning, this giant's tomb is almost entirely your achievement. We almost couldn't even stop Fu Chen, so we shouldn't share the profits," Jiang Qingxue said.

The others exchanged glances, sharing the same thought.

"We'll see about that later. In any case, I won't let you suffer any losses."

Then, the group looked up into the space above.

Above their heads, various lights radiated out, each vying for brilliance, but those lights all came from the three pieces of jade of rules.

The three jade pieces of the Rule were embedded in the earthen wall above, faintly forming a vortex.

It represents heaven, earth, and humanity; the sun, moon, and stars!

One of them was as big as a football, its surface shimmering with seven-colored light. But as soon as the seven-colored light was released, it merged into white light, which was truly amazing.

The smaller pieces, about the size of a sesame seed cake, are painted in eight colors, and the smallest piece even has a hundred colors!

Ning Qi extended a large Primordial Spirit hand and grabbed at the three pieces of jade of rules.

But to everyone's surprise, his Primordial Spirit hand was blocked outside.

Finally, with all ten hands moving simultaneously, the entire giant's tomb seemed to shake, Ning Qi barely managed to seize the three pieces of the Rule Jade.

The moment it was taken down, the tomb mound, like the bronze tomb mounds encountered before, lost its support and collapsed with a roar.

After resting for a while, the group caught some spirit fish in the giant lake, grilled them, and ate them before continuing their journey.

Several days passed in the blink of an eye.

The True Disciple who had entered the Mysterious Realm gathered together.

The disciples from various sects, having reunited, also brought with them information about their experiences along the way.

Among them, two are the most widely circulated.

One of them is: Fu Chen, the prodigy of the Southern True Domain, encountered Ning Qi, the immortal seed of the Northern Profound Domain, and actually abandoned the tomb of the Nascent Soul Realm giant to escape!

The other one is that only three people remain in the Feathered Ascension Sect!

Ning Qi's reputation soared instantly, resounding throughout the entire Xuanzhen Secret Realm.

If everyone knew that Ning Qi had killed the seven members of the Feathered Ascension Sect, his reputation would probably rise even higher.

Of course, such a dilapidated building is better off without!

"Damn, I used to consider myself a person from the Southern True Domain and looked down on that Immortal Seed Ning Qi, but I didn't expect that my Southern True Domain's prodigy Fu Chen would run away as soon as he saw him." One of the Rogue Cultivator said.

A Rogue Cultivator from the Northern Xuan Region chuckled in response, "That's called having self-awareness. Luckily, you didn't show your emotions to my face, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?"

"Hey," the Rogue Cultivator from the Northern Xuan Region rubbed his nose and continued, "Ning Qi once slaughtered a million cultivators from twelve sects!"

"Holy crap, that's brutal?"

"That's right, so if you see him in the future, run as fast as you can, and don't hesitate."

After entering the Xuanzhen Secret Realm, these independent Rogue Cultivator formed their own teams, without distinguishing between the Northern and Southern Regions.

Although there is a possibility of encountering bad people, the risk will actually decrease as long as you pull in enough people.

After all, the True Disciple of those sects have all started to band together. If these Rogue Cultivator don't band together soon, they'll really become cannon fodder!

This news naturally spread throughout the Xuanzhen Secret Realm in no time.

Some people even went so far as to say that Fu Chen's title of prodigy should be transferred to Ning Qi, and everyone immediately echoed their agreement.

As for why Ning Qi wasn't Ning Qi to the original five prodigies, making it six, there was, of course, a hidden agenda.

They knew that every prodigy cared deeply about their reputation, so how could Fu Chen be happy if his name was tarnished?

They either need to get it back from Ning Qi, or they need to find the other four.

Anyway, everyone was happy to watch the show.

At this moment, the eight True Disciple of the Northern Profound Sect have gathered together.

The death of two True Disciple of the Northern Profound Sect was known not only to the powerful figures outside, but also to the other eight who naturally understood it through sensing the light spots.

"Senior Brother Chu, you must avenge our two deceased senior brothers!"

Chu Xiaotian nodded, "Don't worry, fellow disciples, I will definitely not let them get away with this."

Another person said, "Senior Brother Chu, those disciples from the Feathered Ascension Sect killed seven people. I think this is definitely not a coincidence."

"Yes, among so many disciples from major sects, only they and we lost our True Disciple. It's likely that the people from the Feathered Ascension Sect encountered our two junior brothers and wanted to attack them en masse, weakening our Northern Profound Sect's strength first."

Chu Xiaotian's eyes flashed with divine light.

Not only him, but the other seven people also strongly agreed with this conclusion.

"This time, we must wipe out the other three members of the Feathered Ascension Sect, leaving none alive!"

"Senior Brother Chu, and that Boundless Sword Sect, recently their Immortal Seed Ning Qi actually squeezed out Fu Chen and is listed alongside you as a peerless genius. Does he even deserve it?"

Chu Xiaotian scoffed disdainfully:

"Everyone says that Fu Chen is incredibly powerful, but I think it's because the Southern True Domain has no one left, that they even praise a Rogue Cultivator so highly."

"And now that he has encountered Ning Qi's escape, it proves that he is all talk and no action!"

All the True Disciple burst into laughter.

"It's a pity we haven't encountered a single True Disciple of the Wuji Sword Sect along the way; otherwise, we would have known where Ning Qi was."

Chu Xiaotian pondered for a moment, then suddenly said:

"Junior Brother Zhao, go and spread the word that I 'Ning Qi to a duel beneath the largest star of rules in the central celestial dome, to see who is truly the number one prodigy of the Northern Xuan Region."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Fei instantly understood.

"Senior Brother Chu, this is a good idea! It will save us from searching everywhere for the Wuji Sword Sect. If we just spread the word, all their disciples will come, and we can wipe them out in one fell swoop!"

Chu Xiaotian nodded slightly.

"Junior Brother Zhao understands best. Then you should go quickly."

"Yes!"

Not long after.

As expected, news of Chu Xiaotian's challenge spread throughout the entire Xuanzhen Secret Realm.

At this time, Ning Qi and his group captured three bronze tombs and one large silver tomb, reaping a considerable harvest.

His true form is getting closer and closer to the Rule Realm. He only needs to integrate the rule imprints in these spiritual treasures and rule jades into the True Martial before he can leap forward and sublimate!

These days.

The members of the Wuji Sword Sect did not stay together all the time; instead, they would separate according to location every now and then, heading to different areas to search for tombs.

Then they should reunite at the agreed time to exchange information, so as to obtain the greatest benefit in the Mysterious Realm.

The news of Chu Xiaotian's challenge first reached Wu Qingxiao's ears.

Wu Qingxiao informed everyone, and the news naturally reached Ning Qi's ears as well.

Qin Minghao and the others were naturally indignant, but Ning Qi just smiled calmly.

He knew exactly what Chu Xiaotian was planning.

Unfortunately, time is precious within the Xuanzhen Secret Realm, and unless they meet naturally, he simply cannot afford to waste time on him right now.

Jiang Qingxue looked at Ning Qi, her beautiful eyes blinking, her gaze revealing a hidden emotion that seemed to be concealed.

Ning Qi overcame numerous dangers along the way, with Qin Minghao and Wang Ye accompanying him. The three of them worked together seamlessly, as if it were a match made in heaven.

Jiang Qingxue and the other two were deeply moved by what they saw.

Previously, these True Disciple had never cultivated together. Now that they were working with Ning Qi and the other two from the Five Elements Peak, they realized the gap between them.

The three from Five Elements Peak seemed to possess terrifyingly high comprehension.

Although Wang Ye is slightly inferior, he is still better than them.

You should know that Wang Ye is a body cultivator!

After a short rest, Qin Minghao and Wang Ye would verify each other's strength, which would then rise at a visible rate once again.

Although Ning Qi did not participate in their sparring, the two would ask Ning Qi for advice.

Ning Qi's every word hit the nail on the head Origin of the problem, and he made improvements for the two of them that far exceeded their expectations.

Not only did Qin Minghao and Wang Ye benefit greatly, but Jiang Qingxue, Xie Chaolu, and Wu Qingxiao, who were merely listening in, also gained insights and were deeply moved.

As a result, Jiang Qingxue's mindset changed.

No wonder Qin Minghao, despite being at the bottom of the Wuji Sword Sect's True Disciple, entered the top ten True Disciple in the blink of an eye; no wonder Wang Ye was willing to betray Ye Chen's Fenglei Peak to join the Five Elements Peak!

In just ten years, Jiang Qingxue is now completely certain that the two of them have surpassed her.

Looking at Ning Qi, Jiang Qingxue couldn't help but feel a slight urge to follow him!

She glanced at Xie Chaolu and Wu Qingxiao beside her. The three of them exchanged knowing glances and understood what the other meant.
