Core Sky Tomb

Several days passed.

On this day, the remaining three True Disciple of the Wuji Sword Sect finally arrived at Ning Qi's group of six.

It was Mo Zangluo, who had fought in the True Disciple rankings, and Huo Mingguang, the fourth True Disciple.

Mo Zang and Luo Zhan teamed up and didn't encounter any difficult situations along the way.

However, Huo Mingguang, the fourth True Disciple, was injured, and the injury was quite serious.

The group quickly asked him what had happened.

It turned out that in the past few days, despite the news that Chu Xiaotian had sent someone to challenge him to a duel, Ning Qi had not responded.

He even personally led his True Disciple to the place of the duel and stayed there for a day.

Many True Disciple and Rogue Cultivator from nearby sects went to observe.

Ning Qi did not go, and there wasn't even a messenger to deliver the message.

After waiting all day, Chu Xiaotian laughed and left.

"The title 'Immortal Seed 'Ning Qi is undeserved!"

Before he left, he specifically assigned someone to stay in that area.

"I will leave someone behind to wait for three days. If no one from the Boundless Sword Sect comes, then everyone can confirm this statement!"

Three days have clearly passed by now.

Therefore, the people of the Northern Profound Sect immediately made a statement.

"Immortal Seed Ning Qi forces back the prodigy Fu Chen, Ning Qi fears to fight Chu Xiaotian!"

Rumors have spread throughout the entire Mysterious Realm.

Upon hearing this, everyone naturally agreed with the statement.

Ning Qi was not as carefree as Fu Chen. Fu Chen was Rogue Cultivator, without the constraints of a sect or fellow disciples.

Therefore, Fu Chen was able to escape, while Ning Qi, as the number one True Disciple of the Wuji Sword Sect, represented the face of the entire Wuji Sword Sect.

He didn't go to these public challenges, and none of the other disciples of the Wuji Sword Sect went either, so naturally everyone would think he was afraid of fighting.

Therefore, not only Ning Qi, but all the other disciples of the Wuji Sword Sect were also looked down upon by all the True Disciple in the Xuanzhen Secret Realm.

Thus, Huo Mingguang, the fourth True Disciple, encountered three disciples from a sect in the Southern True Domain on his way there.

They found that Huo Mingguang was a disciple of the Wuji Sword Sect and was traveling alone.

His words and actions immediately revealed his contempt, mocking Ning Qi on one hand and the entire Wuji Sword Sect on the other.

Huo Mingguang was furious and fought with the three men, which is why he came injured.

He looked at Ning Qi and said:

"Senior Brother Ning, I know you don't want to waste your time on someone like Chu Xiaotian, but I just can't stand them mocking you and our Wuji Sword Sect."

After hearing Huo Mingguang's story, Ning Qi patted him on the shoulder and said calmly:

"Junior Brother Huo, we will encounter the people from the Northern Profound Sect sooner or later, and then the outcome will be clear!"

He casually took out a bottle of pills and handed it to Huo Mingguang.

"Junior brother is fighting for me and for the sect's reputation; he should not be injured."

Huo Mingguang was deeply moved and expressed his gratitude repeatedly.

The other disciples True Disciple at Ning Qi and felt even more that he was kind and benevolent, no wonder Qin Minghao and Wang Ye followed him.

The three newcomers were unaware that Jiang Qingxue and the other two had already developed a desire to follow Ning Qi after spending a few days with Ning Qi.

The disciples of the Wuji Sword Sect gathered together, and then, led by Ning Qi, they successively broke through several bronze tombs and silver tombs.

They advanced with unstoppable momentum, encountering almost no obstacles along the way.

Even if True Disciple another sect encounters a bronze tomb, they must proceed with extreme caution, wary of any traps within.

But they have Senior Brother Ning!

Even with numerous dangers ahead, and even the eight people besides Ning Qi feeling that if they were to face them alone, they would only face certain death.

But their Senior Brother Ning always manages to sweep away evil spirits and demons!

The group reaped a great harvest. Ning Qi obtained a full fifty pieces of Rule Jade, and the number of spiritual treasures they seized also exceeded seventy.

Among them were eleven incomplete mid-grade spiritual treasures. Each of the nine of them received one, and there were still some left over. There were also three complete mid-grade spiritual treasures!

The rest are all low-grade spiritual treasures.

As for Law Treasure of the next lower tier, there were over two hundred of them.

And the number of elixirs, Cultivation Method, and heavenly materials and earthly treasures is countless.

All the True Disciple wore expressions of joy, their hearts pounding wildly with excitement at their many gains.

After all, in the past, when the Xuanzhen Secret Realm opened, the most they ever gained in the history of the Wuji Sword Sect was only one complete mid-grade spiritual treasure, two incomplete mid-grade spiritual treasures, and ten pieces of rule jade.

Now, following Senior Brother Ning, even though the Xuanzhen Secret Realm is still far from closing, we have already gained so much.

They had already envisioned what it would be like to return to their sect.

How shocked the sect leader and elders will be, exclaiming that the sect is about to rise to prominence!

Even Ning Qi was not immune to this.

The Mysterious Realm is truly a wonderful place. In both the North and South regions, it would be difficult to find another place that yields so many rewards.

Ning Qi led the group to continue their looting. Since they had entered a treasure mountain, wouldn't it be a wasted trip if they didn't empty it out completely?

Somewhere in the Mysterious Realm.

Fu Chen held an ancient-looking Compass Law Artifact in his hand.

Unlike others, he could always easily find the various tombs.

Even though it didn't emit any light, Fu Chen could still detect its presence.

He's like someone with a perfectly clear treasure map, always able to find the treasure before anyone else.

If it weren't for the numerous traps, mechanisms, and tomb-guarding demons within those tombs that hindered his treasure hunt, he wouldn't have been able to excavate the treasure so quickly.

Fu Chen believed that he was definitely the one who gained the most from the Xuanzhen Secret Realm.

So far, he has acquired one mid-grade spiritual treasure, two incomplete mid-grade spiritual treasures, five low-grade spiritual treasures, and nine pieces of rule jade!

There was nothing he could do; after all, he had the Primordial Spirit of a Dao Integration Realm ancestor by his side.

Another bronze tomb was breached, and Fu Chen flew out from it, asking other Rogue Cultivator for information along the way.

The Rogue Cultivator have many eyes and ears, and when the True Disciple of the major sects band together to attack the tombs, the scale of the attack is often earth-shattering, so news of it always gets out.

Fu Chen learned that even the luckiest among the top sects had only about the same haul as him.

Keep in mind that they had combined the power of an entire sect, while he was just one person!

Fu Chen had also inquired about the Wuji Sword Sect, but since the Wuji Sword Sect was not considered a top-tier sect, few people paid attention to its activities.

The Rogue Cultivator speculated that Ning Qi, the Ning Qi seed, feared Chu Xiaotian and had led his True Disciple into hiding, rarely showing themselves.

Few people have encountered them, so no accurate information has been reported back.

Of course, this was also partly due to Ning Qi and the others dealing with some of the people they encountered.

Although no information was heard about the Wuji Sword Sect's gains, it was said that Ning Qi was afraid to fight Chu Xiaotian, and Chu Xiaotian overpowered Ning Qi, naturally also overpowering Fu Chen, whom Ning Qi had forced back.

Everyone ranked Chu Xiaotian as the top of the five prodigies.

Fu Chen snorted coldly.

That Chu Xiaotian was truly arrogant beyond belief, completely unaware that there are always people more capable than oneself!

Fu Chen was the one who knew Ning Qi's background best; other geniuses were no match for Ning Qi.

It can be said that Ning Qi is the strongest person in this Xuanzhen Secret Realm!

Fu Chen was somewhat puzzled and muttered to himself:

"Could it be that Chu Xiaotian is an idiot? Ning Qi is probably rushing to break through the tomb, and Chu Xiaotian actually spent a whole day waiting for Ning Qi, and even made his junior brother stay behind for three days?"

Fu Chen was speechless. He had finally entered this Xuanzhen Secret Realm, which was like a treasure mountain, but instead of seizing the time to plunder its wealth, he was wasting his time on empty fame. He found it utterly despicable.

Of course, Fu Chen was unaware that the Wuji Sword Sect was currently threatening the status of the Beixuan Upper Sect.

The Northern Profound Sect instructed Chu Xiaotian to seize the opportunity in the Profound True Secret Realm to eliminate Ning Qi and his group, determined to eradicate the threat.

Let them be arrogant for a while longer!

Fu Chen looked at the Compass in his hand, poured Spiritual Qi into it, and used his Primordial Spirit power to capture that faint sense of the Unseen.

He was no longer satisfied with bronze tombs and silver tombs. After all, no matter how many magical treasures he obtained, he was alone and had no sect or school to follow, so he couldn't use them all.

Fu Chen looked in the direction the pointer was pointing, and his whole body transformed into a streak of blood-red light, quickly flying towards that not-so-distant place.

With Compass in hand, he had chosen his direction of travel, so he had already planned his route in advance.

Now he wants to seize the greatest treasure in the Xuanzhen Secret Realm!

However, in just one day, Fu Chen found himself in a deep ravine shrouded in mist.

He took out a broken stone tablet, stared into the depths where nothing could be seen, and his eyes shot out two beams of golden light, as if he had attracted something.

Within the deep ravine, the mist gradually dissipated, revealing a cave entrance.

Beside Fu Chen, Wei Wuyai appeared, looking at the cave entrance before him, and asked:

"Chen'er, have you thought it through? This Heavenly Tomb before us is the core of the Xuanzhen Secret Realm. Once it opens, the restrictions on the Xuanzhen Secret Realm will gradually be lifted, and at that time, even the powerful figures of Ningyu City will be able to enter."

Fu Chen replied firmly:

"Teacher, apart from the Heavenly Tomb before us, I have no interest in the other tombs. Besides, even after the restrictions on the Mysterious Realm are lifted, it will open slowly."

"Even if those powerful beings can enter the Profound Truth Secret Realm, there is still a terrifying restrictive force within ten thousand feet of this core Heavenly Tomb, keeping them out."

Wei Wuyai nodded slightly.

"Alright, then go ahead and do it. As the one who opens it, you'll gain a significant advantage. Once you obtain the core treasure, you can use the teleportation array to leave without worry."

"Yes!"

Without further hesitation, Fu Chen suddenly threw the tablet in his hand toward the cave entrance ahead.

The monument spun around, and as it approached the cave entrance, an invisible force froze it in place!

Immediately, the tablet melted, and large, secret characters seeped out from it and seeped into the hole.

Rumble!

At the bottom of this deep ravine, it was as if an earthquake had struck, as if boundless power was erupting.

A terrifying Spiritual Qi gathered at this place, causing the entire ravine to rise rapidly.

If someone were to look at this place from a distance, they would see that the entire terrain is rising up, piercing straight into the sky!

Boom!

The entire Xuanzhen Secret Realm seemed to tremble, and everyone within it couldn't help but look in the direction from which the tremor originated.

The sacred mountain, which had just risen from the ground, had a dark crack in its center, resembling a black dragon!

Suddenly, the black dragon broke away from the sacred mountain, absorbed the Spiritual Qi from the surrounding area, and coiled in the air.

With the next breath, it let out a deafening dragon roar towards the sky, then its body thrashed and crashed straight into the sacred mountain below!

The greatest sound is silent; no one heard any sound, but it was as if rolling stones were vibrating in their ears, shaking their minds.

Looking closer, the sacred mountain was actually split in two by the black dragon, falling to the left and right.

Amidst the swirling dust and mist, a ray of golden light suddenly emerged, followed by an endless shower of golden radiance that, like the sun, illuminated the entire Xuanzhen Secret Realm.

"Golden light shines forth; the tomb of the Dao Integration Realm ancestor has appeared!"

Countless people gasped in surprise!

Above the sky, figures flew in one direction like locusts.

Suddenly, many people bumped into each other.

One of them exclaimed as they flew, "My God, we're so lucky!"

Someone nearby, puzzled, asked, "Why do you say that?"

Upon seeing that the other party was Rogue Cultivator, the man explained in high spirits:

"Since the Xuanzhen Secret Realm came into existence, every time it opened, the sects of both the North and South regions kept records, but there has never been a record of golden light illuminating the entire Xuanzhen Secret Realm!"

Not far away, a disciple from another sect expressed his agreement.

"Yes, before entering the Xuanzhen Secret Realm, the sect showed us all the records. Among them was a record of golden light appearing in the world, but at most it only illuminated an area of a hundred miles, nothing like the scene we see now."

The Rogue Cultivator immediately understood.

"Could it be that this massive tomb that has just appeared far surpasses all the previous golden tombs?"

The disciple from the sect before had a look of longing on his face.

"No, this tomb is probably the core of the Xuanzhen Secret Realm, the only one of its kind in the entire Xuanzhen Secret Realm!"

"I don't know what will happen when it comes into existence, but I understand that if I miss it, it may never happen again!"

"Even if we manage to snatch just a scrap, it will be enough to sustain us for a lifetime!"

Another disciple of the True Disciple nodded in agreement.

"This is absolutely the greatest fortuitous opportunity we've ever encountered in our lives! Even the elders and powerful figures of Ningyu City outside, I dare say, could never have had fortuitous opportunity as great as this!"

"That's natural. Think about it, even the top sects in the North and South regions only have Nascent Soul Realm experts in charge, but the golden tomb right now represents Dao Integration Realm ancestor!"

"Moreover, he is absolutely the most powerful among all the Dao Integration Realm ancestors in the Xuanzhen Secret Realm, and is probably only one step away from the Immortal Realm!"

The Rogue Cultivator was dumbfounded.

"What, the Immortal Realm? We'd better hurry!"

The two sect disciples who had spoken to him suddenly smiled and simultaneously attacked, killing him.

"The fewer competitors we have, the better! Although you're Rogue Cultivator and pose little threat to us, there have always been those who got lucky throughout history!"

The two glanced at each other again. They were not from the same clan, but after assessing each other's strength, they figured they were evenly matched.

The two did not make a move, but instead turned around and flew back to their respective sects.

Right now, let alone being alone, even if the two sects gathered all their members and met, if one side was weaker, the other side would probably make the first move in order to seize the fortuitous opportunity.

It's not that they're narrow-minded, but rather it's human nature; besides, eliminating the weaker party also allows them to seize the fortuitous opportunity the other side has gained over the past few days.

Everyone knows that with the emergence of the greatest fortuitous opportunity in the history of the Xuanzhen Secret Realm, the Xuanzhen Secret Realm will surely become a battlefield, where the law of the jungle will be played out to the fullest extent.

But no one backed down!

Ning Qi and his nine companions gathered together, all gazing at the distant golden light, their faces filled with intense longing.

"Senior Brother Ning, should we set off immediately?" Wang Ye asked.

Ning Qi glanced at everyone, smiled casually, and joked:

"If I say I'm not going, are you eight going to gang up on me and force me to go?"

The eight men stared at him, and it seemed that all of them shared the same thought!

Suddenly, eight low-grade spiritual swords appeared around Ning Qi, hovering in front of the eight people.

He said, "Get in, let's go!"

The eight people exchanged glances, all deeply shocked. They hadn't expected that Senior Brother Ning would carry them all there at top speed.

"Senior Brother Ning, you absolutely mustn't!" Jiang Qingxue immediately advised.

Apart from Qin Minghao, the other seven people also offered repeated advice.

The fortuitous opportunity is good, but the situation is also extremely perilous!

If Senior Brother Ning expends too much energy and encounters other top sects, things will go badly.

They knew that only Ning Qi could deal with the powerful opponents, so they were unwilling to deplete Ning Qi's strength at the moment.

Ning Qi waved his hand and laughed:

"Fellow junior brothers and sisters, I know what I'm doing. Hurry up and get your swords, or you'll miss out on even the soup!"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked helpless.

They estimated it would take them about a day to get to the location of the Golden Heavenly Tomb, so they really couldn't afford to delay!

The eight spirit swords enlarged, and the group instantly sat on them.

Ning Qi led the way, followed closely by eight swords arranged side by side, slicing across the sky!

Fu Chen, who had opened the Golden Heavenly Tomb, had already entered it.

Before long, the two arrived together!

Unlike Ning Qi, who single-handedly took on all his junior brothers and sisters without abandoning any of them.

In order to gain an advantage, some sects have their ordinary True Disciple travel together, while their sect's top True Disciple goes first.

The two who arrived were Ren Zong from the Tianchen Upper Sect and Wu Dao.

Ren Zong had the demeanor of a senior disciple, taking great care of the other True Disciple and almost always being by their side.

But now he has separated from his fellow disciples in the sect. Presumably, everyone is afraid of dragging him down, so for the sake of the bigger picture, they want him to seize the initiative.

Wu Dao, who came from a small sect, possessed unparalleled talent in array formations and was naturally not burdened by the sect.

The two were suspended in mid-air, exchanging a glance.

Instead of a fight, they nodded in greeting.

"Brother Wu, we each have our strengths, how about we cooperate?" Ren Zong cupped his hands in greeting.

Numerous miniature Formation seemed to flash within Wu Dao's eyes.

He asked, "How should the spoils be distributed?"

Ren Zong laughed heartily, "Fifty-fifty split!"

"OK!"

Then, the two used their Primordial Spirit power to communicate with the Heavenly Dao and swear an unbreakable agreement before stepping into the golden light together.

Not long after they entered, figures began to arrive from time to time.

Whether alone or in groups, some, like Ren Zongwu, swore an oath to explore the Heavenly Dao together, while others, before even entering, engaged in fierce battles, fighting to the death, and only entered the tomb after achieving victory.

Some cautious individuals, having witnessed various situations, waited outside the Golden Tomb for the right opportunity.

Time passed, and Chu Xiaotian approached, riding the Gale.

He was about to step inside when he suddenly stopped.

Just because he saw a familiar white-clad figure behind him, he swiftly closed the distance.

Chu Xiaotian turned around and looked at Ning Qi, who was getting closer and closer, a strange light flashing in his eyes!

Ning Qi was incredibly fast; not only that, he brought all the True Disciple the Wuji Sword Sect with him on their journey.

Such self-destructive behavior is truly unwise!

At the same time, Chu Xiaotian couldn't help but be amazed by Ning Qi's speed and profound Law Power.

Of course, after comparing himself to Ning Qi, Chu Xiaotian figured he could do it too, so he didn't pay much attention.

A number of people nearby witnessed the two prodigies meeting.

Immediately, some people abandoned their plans to enter the Heavenly Tomb and instead adopted a look of anticipation, as if they were watching a good show.

These two exceptional talents have long been rivals, and a battle between them is likely inevitable!

They won't mind wasting a little time; they might even be able to pick up some bargains.

"Ning Qi, we've finally met here in the Xuanzhen Secret Realm!"

Chu Xiaotian was clad in silver armor and was tall and imposing. Just by standing there, he exuded a terrifying aura that seemed to suppress mountains and rivers.

The expressions of the onlookers changed. No wonder this person was listed as one of the five great prodigies, or even called the leader of the five great prodigies. He did indeed have that wild and arrogant aura of "I have the world under my control".

In contrast, they looked at Ning Qi.

Ning Qi, leading eight True Disciple, stopped ten feet away from Chu Xiaotian.

His gaze towards Chu Xiaotian seemed completely unmoved.

While no one noticed the same domineering aura as Chu Xiaotian from Ning Qi, they did sense a transcendent air emanating from Ning Qi, as if he were an immortal descending to earth.

Many onlookers began to whisper among themselves.

"Who do you think is stronger?"

"Chu Xiaotian is so domineering; he had already challenged Ning Qi to a duel, and Ning Qi didn't keep his promise, putting him at a disadvantage in terms of momentum. Therefore, I favor Chu Xiaotian!"

"But Chu Xiaotian is alone, while Ning Qi has led all the True Disciple of the Wuji Sword Sect together. If it's eight against one, then no matter how strong Chu Xiaotian is, he'll probably have to admit defeat!"

"Hmph, the Wuji Sword Sect is merely a top-tier sect. Only Ning Qi barely makes it into the top five prodigies. As for the rest, relying on numbers is useless when facing the first True Disciple of a top-tier sect."

"I think Ning Qi is somewhat unfathomable. Chu Xiaotian is indeed domineering, but his emotions are too strong, while Ning Qi remains detached. Judging from his emotions, Chu Xiaotian seems to have lost."

"Stop arguing! They're about to fight, and the outcome will be clear then. Why don't we take this opportunity to open a betting pool?"

"Wow, bro, you're really something. Tell me, what are the odds for the two of them?"

The person who announced the opening of the betting market glanced at the two men and suddenly said:

"Chu Xiaotian bets two to one, Ning Qi bets one to two. If all nine members of the Wuji Sword Sect make a move, then Chu Xiaotian bets five to one, Ning Qi bets one to five!"

"Goodness, you're completely on Chu Xiaotian's side now, but I'll bet on it!"

In an instant, many people joined in.

Ning Qi and Chu Xiaotian naturally heard what everyone was saying.

Chu Xiaotian's gaze seemed to solidify, like a sword, as he stared at the person who opened the betting pool.

That person was also the top True Disciple of a minor sect, yet he seemed frozen in place under Chu Xiaotian's gaze.

He trembled all over, looked at Chu Xiaotian, and hurriedly asked, "Does Chu Tianjiao have any orders?"

Chu Xiaotian snorted coldly, "How dare you use me as a bet right in front of me? Do you think you're using me as a tool?"

The man's teeth seemed to be chattering as he cried out in fear, "I was wrong! I shouldn't have gambled on Chu Tianjiao! I'll withdraw my bet right now!"

Chu Xiaotian said sternly, "Who told you to withdraw the betting?"

"So, what does Chu Tianjiao mean?"

"I can let you open the market, but I'll take 80% of the profits you make!"

"Eighty percent?" The man looked dejected, but there was nothing he could do. "Fine, eighty percent it is. If I can get to know Chu Tianjiao, I'll be willing even if it's ninety percent."

"Hmph, you think I'd even look at the stuff you poor wretches have? I'm just teaching you a lesson!"

Chu Xiaotian turned his gaze back to Ning Qi, his hands clasped together, his knuckles cracking and popping incessantly.

"Alright, everyone else has already opened for trading, I think it's time for our battle to begin."

Behind Ning Qi, the eight people had different expressions on their faces.

However, most of them were optimistic. They had followed Ning Qi all the way and were deeply aware of Ning Qi strength, so they were not worried that Ning Qi would be defeated by Chu Xiaotian.

However, some people still have concerns, fearing that if the two fight, some injuries will inevitably occur, and that they might be affected after entering the Golden Tomb.

Ning Qi turned around and said calmly, "You all step back. We can go in in ten breaths at most."

"Ten breaths?"

Upon hearing this, all eight people, except for Qin Minghao, were taken aback.

The onlookers were all shocked to hear Ning Qi make such a boastful statement.

How dare he?

Chu Xiaotian and Ning Qi met, but only for a few breaths.

Based on the performances of the two players, the crowd was already leaning towards Chu Xiaotian winning.

After all, Chu Xiaotian's previous performance was too domineering; he even interfered with their betting odds on the outcome of their match!

Even if people are dissatisfied, the strong are the strong, and it is the instinct of all living beings to favor the strong.

"Ten breaths? Haha!"

Chu Xiaotian seemed to have heard the funniest thing in the world. He raised his thick eyebrows as if a heavenly sword were slicing through the air.

"Ning Qi, you're saying you lost in ten breaths, right? You should at least have some self-awareness about that!"

Ning Qi didn't waste any words. His white robes swept across the sky as he directly struck Chu Xiaotian with a palm.

If he hadn't had some reservations, he could have sent Chu Xiaotian down to negotiate with the King of Hell in less than ten breaths, let alone one.

Chu Xiaotian let out a wild roar that shook the mountains and rivers!

The area within a ten-zhang radius centered on him seemed to be trembling.

This is the Mysterious Realm, a special space constructed from countless rules of power. For those at the Primordial Spirit Realm, the space is incredibly stable.

This shows just how terrifying Chu Xiaotian is.

Before his roar had even faded, it seemed that all the Spiritual Qi around him was converging on him, and he even borrowed a lot of power from the golden heavenly tomb behind him.

This guy is indeed extraordinary. He has been at the limit of the Primordial Spirit Realm for a hundred years. If it weren't for the Xuanzhen Secret Realm, he would have broken into the Void Dao Realm long ago.

In the the Unseen, a lion's shadow materialized from Chu Xiaotian's roar, directly biting at the approaching Ning Qi.

The lion's shadow was as large as a mountain, shaking the void and creating layers of clouds, all dyed golden.

Even if a mountain stood in its way, it would probably be shattered by its roar!

However, when Ning Qi struck out with his palm, a giant hand of five-colored divine light appeared, even larger and more refined than the lion shadow, with even the fingerprints on it lifelike.

This palm strike was like the collapse of heaven and earth, and the flood of seawater.

The onlookers were all horrified!

One cannot help but feel a sense of insignificance in the face of heaven and earth, like a lone boat adrift in the vast ocean, destined for utter destruction at the slightest change in the weather.

Chu Xiaotian was also taken aback.

His roar transformed into a lion's shadow, seemingly simple, but in fact not.

This strike condensed his Spiritual Qi and Primordial Spirit power, blending essence, energy, and spirit together, and his conviction even triggered a trace of the rules of sound in the the Unseen.

Ordinary True Disciple can only be avoided, not resisted!

Even among the top geniuses of the elite sects, Chu Xiaotian had once fought one of them, and it took the opponent using all his strength to break through.

Ning Qi, however, with just a casual palm strike, unleashed a power that surpassed even his own attack.

Although there was no power of rules involved, Chu Xiaotian knew that Ning Qi could definitely break through it.

Sure enough, that awe-inspiring lion shadow, though capable of roaring across mountains and rivers, was as fragile as paper under the giant hand.

Chu Xiaotian's eyes suddenly became incredibly deep.

Two beams of blue light shot from his eyes, each ten feet long, slicing through the void.

The giant palm that Ning Qi attacked shattered the lion's shadow, but it did not dissipate. Instead, it was completely disintegrated by his two gazes.

But then, Ning Qi's figure slowly approached.

He opened and closed his mouth, uttering a single word that reached everyone's ears with perfect clarity.

"One breath!"

One breath is one respiration, Ning Qi is counting.

The onlookers were instantly filled with excitement, their hearts brimming with countless words they wanted to express, yet they were afraid of affecting this earth-shattering battle in the slightest.

They stared intently at the two, afraid of missing any detail.

Ning Qi remained as usual, but Chu Xiaotian on the other side was not as relaxed as before.

Ten beams of blue light shot from his eyes, forming a burst that trapped and killed Ning Qi.

The ten beams of light, though without any physical form, tore through the void, revealing black spatial rifts.

Ning Qi, standing at the center, was dressed in pristine white.

A light emanated from behind his body, a hazy five-colored rainbow-like light that automatically arranged itself into halos of light that rippled outwards into the void.

The ten Primordial Spirit slashing blades released by Chu Xiaotian with his Dharma Eye shrank even further, as if they were about to collapse the entire void where Ning Qi was located.

The black spatial rift completely isolated Ning Qi from the world inside and outside.

However, when the ten Primordial Spirit slashing blades struck the five-colored rainbow light emanating from behind Ning Qi, the hazy, almost ethereal halo proved to be more reliable than any defense in the world.

Instead of shattering, it chipped Chu Xiaotian's Primordial Spirit slashing blade with gaps!

Behind them, Jiang Qingxue gazed at the rainbow light emanating from Ning Qi, lightly covering her lips, and murmured, "Could this be...?"

Qin Minghao nodded and said, "That's right, Senior Brother Ning should have used the Cultivation Method he obtained from that silver tomb before—the Jade Warmth and Smoke Technique!"

"But Senior Brother Ning only received it a few days ago, didn't he?" Xie Chaolu's pretty face showed an expression of disbelief and shock.

The onlookers didn't understand, but since they had been following Ning Qi, they naturally knew what kind of technique Ning Qi was using.

Wang Ye sighed, "Alas, you're not from the Five Elements Peak, so you don't understand just how strong Senior Brother Ning's comprehension is! Don't even mention a few days, I even think that when Senior Brother Ning first got the Jade Warmth and Smoke Technique, he mastered it after just one glance!"

"Aren't you exaggerating a bit?"

Song Qingxiao is a down-to-earth person who dislikes others exaggerating or flattering.

However, his use of the word "exaggeration" to question it is clearly not in line with his usual temperament, suggesting that he has been convinced by Ning Qi along the way.

"Ha, am I exaggerating? I've only been with Senior Brother Ning for ten years. Qin Minghao actually understands Senior Brother Ning the most."

Seeing that Wang Ye had shifted the topic to himself, Qin Minghao shook his head but said nothing.

He did know the truth about Senior Brother Ning, far more than anyone else, and in far more astonishing than what they said, but he couldn't tell.

Ahead.

The Jade Warmth and Smoke Technique, a Cultivation Method primarily focused on offense and defense, displayed astonishing power the first time Ning Qi used it.

The five-colored rainbow light spread out like a rainbow, and the ten Primordial Spirit slashing blades that came in formation actually made a cracking sound and broke into several pieces!

The rainbow light swept across, then completely annihilated it.

Chu Xiaotian suddenly let out a terrible scream. His mind was focused on the ten Primordial Spirit Slashing Blades), and they were bound together for glory and destruction.

It has already suffered a severe blow.

A sudden, unprecedented fear rose within him.

Is this child truly at the Primordial Spirit Realm?
