Chapter 475: Chapter 239: Changes in the True Martial Realm, Eight Great Immortal Sects_2

However, the True Martial Immortal Sect indeed behaves this way, never intervening in worldly affairs. If their disciples appear, they are bound to act justly and without any personal desires.

”It’s a pity... The True Martial Immortal Sect has no fixed method for recruiting disciples, when fate descends, even a beggar or a common beast can join.” All three sighed lamentably.

If there is still a chance to touch the Eight Great Immortal Sects,

then the True Martial Immortal Sect is entirely an illusory existence.

The eldest brother patted the shoulders of the two and smiled:

”Why be troubled, seize the moment before us.”

The three hands clasped together, filled with enthusiasm and hope for the future.

This scene is merely a small reflection of the True Martial Realm.

Since Ning Qi imparted the Immortal Path twenty years ago, the entire True Martial Realm has undergone a transformative upheaval.

There has been a population explosion and a surge in cultivators; all five of the half-step Purple Mansion Realm cultivators have already reached the Purple Mansion Realm, True Man Baishan being the last. And nowadays, the Celestial Human Realm and Martial Saint levels have become things of the past. The number of cultivators at the Magical Power Realm, equivalent to the Martial Saint, is skyrocketing, increasing by dozens of times.

The True Martial Realm has expanded several times, with vast areas awaiting development. Resources are abundant, so conflicts are minimal. People have divided the True Martial Realm into nine states, Central State being one of them. Now, among these nine states, there are many dynasties, with the Eight Great Immortal Sects settled here, and the foundations of the Immortal Path initially established.

It can be foreseen.

As time passes, increasingly strong cultivators will emerge, and the entire True Martial Realm will become more prosperous.

Perhaps one day when the current resources are fully developed, there will be fierce internal struggles, but that is still a long way off, and the True Martial Realm is continuously growing.

...

True Profound Mountain.

Today is the grand ceremony of True Man Baishan, and also the day True Profound Sect becomes an Immortal Sect, a double blessing. Thousands of cultivators have traveled long distances, hoping to take the opportunity to join the Immortal Sect. Many powerful cultivators have gathered to offer their congratulations and observe the ceremony, including a few familiar True Men.

Besides that, only a select few are aware, even True Man Longshan from the True Martial Immortal Sect has arrived.

True Man Baishan greeted guests with a smile.

But his mind was elsewhere.

A handful of insiders shook their heads in disbelief:

”Reportedly, since the Realm Lord imparted the Immortal Path twenty years ago, he began his retreat, and it seems he still hasn’t emerged today.”

Soon, the grand ceremony concluded.

True Man Baishan returned to his quiet chamber alone, murmuring to himself:

”That Ning boy, not attending my grand ceremony, he’ll owe me some good stuff next time we meet!”

His expression turned fierce, but as he turned around, he froze. There, upon his meditation cushion, stood a figure in white, looking at him with an amused expression:

”Oh, you ragged old Taoist, so this is how you talk behind my back?”

Nowadays, Ning Qi seemed a few years older, appearing as a young man but still as graceful and otherworldly as ever. Even though True Man Baishan had reached the Purple Mansion Realm, Ning Qi seemed like a bright moon in the sky. He immediately smiled:

”Ah, the esteemed Realm Lord has graced us with his presence, I should have greeted you properly, forgive me.”

The old Taoist leaned lazily on the meditation cushion, feeling extremely pleased.

Ning Qi shook his head with a smile:

”Stop with the flattery.”

He felt a bit wistful.

After twenty years of seclusion, he originally meant to see True Man Longshan. Only upon exiting did he learn that old Taoist Baishan had reached the Purple Mansion Realm, so he decided to come and congratulate him, as among the few people who could hold Ning Qi’s interest, besides familiar ones from the True Martial Immortal Sect, old Taoist Baishan counts as one.

”I’ve prepared a little gift for you, cultivate well so you won’t die before me.” Ning Qi joked.

Old Taoist Baishan rolled his eyes.

A True Man at the Purple Mansion Realm could live a thousand years, truly lengthy, but who could live longer than Ning Qi, the Realm Lord?

He casually placed the gift aside, knowing without looking that it must be extremely precious. Still, what mattered most to him wasn’t the gift but Ning Qi’s unchanged attitude, which made him very happy.

As the Realm Lord, what supreme prestige.

Fortunately, everything remains the same.

They joyfully discussed the changes over the past twenty years in the True Martial Realm, with old Taoist Baishan doing most of the talking and Ning Qi listening, occasionally teasing, just like before.

Ning Qi was in good spirits too.

He pursued immortality and longevity, but he preferred not to cultivate a lonely height.

To follow one’s heart, having pleasant chats with close friends during leisure, is indeed a delightful experience.

”I plan to strive to one day reach the Primordial Spirit Realm, and live another twenty thousand years. As for anything higher, I’m afraid it would be impossible.” True Man Baishan knew his own capabilities, even the Primordial Spirit Realm would take all his strength and luck.

Ning Qi simply smiled:

”Not necessarily.”

These twenty years of seclusion were far from fruitless.

He not only successfully perfected the Second Realm of Rule Realm but also thoroughly refined the crucial element for his future path.

He intends to harness the power of all beings to carve out a path for himself.

A long time ago, before he had contact with the Immortal Path, Ning Qi had already tried it, like with the True Martial Sword Monument and the Tower of Ten Thousand Paths, and the results were quite favorable, though both were merely preliminary trials.

Now, Ning Qi wishes to truly create a path by combining the power of all beings with the path of a Realm Lord.

This way, he can both utilize his perceptiveness advantage and allow the achievements of all beings to nourish the world.

True Man Baishan’s eyes lit up:

”Are you planning to come up with another astonishing thing?”

Ning Qi laughed heartily, vanishing from sight, leaving only his voice echoing:

”You’ll know when the time comes.”

True Man Baishan felt unbearably curious, eager to know instantly, he angrily glared in the direction where Ning Qi disappeared, grumbling fiercely:
