Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 62: Chapter 56: Settlement Begins ”Jiu, how was it?”

Everyone watched expectantly as Ning Qi opened his eyes.

Ning Qi nodded with a smile: ”I have gained some insights.”

It’s not that he’s withholding; it’s just that this secret technique, even if he taught it hand-in-hand, his fellow brothers probably wouldn’t be able to learn it. Many martial arts and secret techniques he created are only usable by himself, so he could only put some reduced versions in the Scripture Pavilion.

Everyone was delighted.

They knew Ning Qi’s character; since he said this, the gain must be considerable.

Finally, it wasn’t wasting the opportunity brought by the master’s breakthrough to the Celestial Human Realm.

Just as everyone was about to speak.

At this moment.

Taoist Longshan also opened his eyes, and the power of heaven and earth around him began to ’disperse’ and ’cool’ at a speed visible to the naked eye. His eyes carried a hint of regret, having tried his best to grasp this opportunity but ultimately made only a minor breakthrough.

In the years to come, it can only depend on his own hard work.

However.

Taoist Longshan was still extremely joyful.

Being less than a hundred years old, he had already stepped into the Celestial Human Realm, with more than seven hundred years of lifespan ahead, not daring to say he’d certainly break through to the Martial Saint Realm, but at least reaching the higher levels of the Celestial Human Realm would be no problem.

He laughed heartily, speeding like lightning before slowly landing in front of Ning Qi and the others.

He had long seen the many disciples.

Not seeing them for so long, he somewhat missed them.

The disciples all congratulated him: ”We congratulate Master on ascending to the Celestial Human Realm and from now on soaring on the wind, free in the heavens and earth!”

Luo Wentian and others had joy in their eyes.

For the True Martial Sect, this was simply a strong tonic.

From now on.

The True Martial Sect has a Celestial Human overseeing it, already ranked among the top martial sects!

The True Martial Sect is on the road to prosperity, with a Celestial Human overseeing it and a lifespan of eight hundred years. As long as strong people emerge generation after generation, it will continue to prosper.

On True Martial Mountain, all eyes were fervent, and now every disciple knew the news. The exuberant voices had already reached here, making the atmosphere even more enthusiastic than during the previous year-end. ”Rise, all of you.”

Taoist Longshan was in a very good mood. ”How have things been in the sect recently?”

He asked with a smile.

But soon, the smile gradually faded.

Because he had already detected a hint of trouble from the disciples’ difficult expressions.

Taoist Longshan calmly said: ”Come, talk to me slowly. With me here, I won’t let you suffer grievances.”

Luo Wentian and Jiang Baishan felt a sudden impulse to cry.

Only they knew the extent of the pressure during this time. ...

Bright Martial Pavilion.

Taoist Longshan sat at the head seat while the other disciples were seated on either side.

He listened carefully as Luo Wentian narrated the events of this period, his face staying calm, but those familiar with Taoist Longshan knew that his heart was most likely heavy with rage. ”So you mean, during my seclusion, the True Martial Sect has been under attack.” ”With the two waves of attacks from the Black Sand Poison Elder and Iron Ridge Three Fierce being the most severe?”

Luo Wentian nodded: ”Indeed, we managed to jointly repel the Black Sand Poison Elder, and the attack by Iron Ridge Three Fierce was the most dangerous. If not for our True Martial Foundation stepping in to kill the Flying Heaven Eagle, it might have disrupted your seclusion.”

He still felt a little frightened.

If that time forced Taoist Longshan to come out of seclusion, it would have affected the breakthrough to the Celestial Human Realm, possibly harming the source and forever preventing him from reaching the Celestial Human Realm.

Upon hearing.

Taoist Longshan was stunned, a strange look in his eyes.

Luo Wentian noticed Taoist Longshan’s odd expression, cautiously asking: ”Could it be... does our True Martial Sect not have any other Gang Essence Realm experts?”

Everyone was tense; if the one who killed the Flying Heaven Eagle that day was not the True Martial Foundation, it would be terrifying. In fact, during this period, they had wondered if someone else might have done it, but without an answer, they could only presume it was a hidden expert of the True Martial Sect.

Taoist Longshan glanced knowingly at Ning Qi, realizing instantly who the so-called True Martial Foundation was after a calm exchange of looks.

He slowly said: ”Don’t worry, it was a True Martial Sect expert.”

All the disciples were elated, having received Taoist Longshan’s affirmation, finally putting their minds at ease.

But they didn’t know that Taoist Longshan’s heart was far from calm.

The Iron Ridge Three Fierce were well-known.

All formidable in the White Mist Realm.

Yet his young disciple Ning Qi... actually killed the Flying Heaven Eagle?

He felt as if he were dreaming.

Just how old is his young disciple now?

Only seven years old, even less than seven at that time.

Yet he could already kill a Gang Essence Realm expert, simply absurd.

At this moment.

Taoist Longshan felt an urgent impulse to find out if Ning Qi had stepped into the Gang Essence Realm. Seven-year-old at Gang Essence Realm might seem excessively exaggerated, but not having reached the Gang Essence Realm and yet using Inner Essence Realm cultivation to kill Gang Essence? That seems even more exaggerated?

He felt troubled.

But mostly his heart was filled with joy and solace.

Every time he assumed Ning Qi had reached his limit, this monstrous young disciple would shock him again.

He hadn’t expected.

Ning Qi had grown so quickly, already showing signs of becoming a Path Guardian.

But soon after.

A killing intent began to rise in Taoist Longshan’s heart.

If not for Ning Qi being a variable, that day, the True Martial Sect might have been in for a disaster, and perhaps several disciples would have been killed or injured. With this thought, his anger grew further.

The joy of breaking through to the Celestial Human Realm was now completely gone.

At this moment, he only wanted to vent his anger for his disciples.

Taoist Longshan looked at the disciples, his words calm yet firm: ”Rest assured, True Martial Sect will not bear this grievance in vain.”

All the disciples were invigorated.

Taoist Longshan’s reputation was hard-earned through real combat; he was just and never lacked decisiveness. ”Iron Ridge Three Fierce, Black Sand Poison Elder, Purple River Sword Venerate, and those behind the scenes with sinister intentions, I will seek justice for you.”

Luo Wentian hesitated: ”Master, regarding the Celestial Being Grand Ceremony...”

Taoist Longshan waved his hand: ”Just the right opportunity to invite comrades from Qing State, lest others think our True Martial Sect is without anyone!”

His words were calm, yet full of killing intent. ”No time like the present; I will visit the Purple River Sword Sect today. You stay here and take care.”

Saying this.

Taoist Longshan had already stepped out of the Bright Martial Pavilion.

And then soared into the sky.

At the Celestial Human Realm, crossing through the air to reach the Purple River Sword Sect would take less than a day.

Everyone watched Taoist Longshan’s silhouette disappear into the horizon, all wearing wry smiles. Just after breaking through the seclusion, without time for a cup of tea, he was already off to the Purple River Sword Sect. Such decisive action left them dumbfounded.

Yet in their hearts, there was an incomparable sense of excitement and pride.

This was their master, Taoist Longshan.

The reckoning had begun!
