Chapter 488: Chapter 245 True Inheritor Follows, Release Task

Five Elements Peak.

Multicolored clouds hung in the sky, with waterfalls cascading straight down.

A group of powerful Inner Sect Disciples respectfully made their way up the mountain.

Through the years, Ning Qi was certainly not alone; he had suppressed many fellow talented disciples along the way, earning admiration and gaining followers.

Now, having achieved True Disciple status, these followers naturally ascended together in his success.

The most prodigious genius in the history of the Infinite Sword Sect!

The Immortal Species designated by the Supreme Elder!

Such titles continually added to Ning Qi’s reputation, plunging the Infinite Sword Sect into prolonged tremors, with disciples secretly discussing this phenomenal dark horse.

For the True Disciples.

Ning Qi was a rival.

But most of them knew that Ning Qi surpassing them was just a matter of time, though a few discontented True Disciples refused to accept this; what are True Inheritors? The position of Sect Leader is selected from among the True Inheritors, and now Ning Qi is just showing exceptional talent, making it impossible for them to give up.

The current generation of True Disciples also includes many prodigious individuals, especially the current top True Disciple, Ye Chen, naturally possessing the Wind Thunder Sword Body. Before Ning Qi appeared, his reputation was immensely high, known as someone destined to become a Giant.

He is currently in secluded cultivation, but upon learning of Ning Qi’s presence upon emerging, there will surely be a fierce battle.

Of course.

Most True Disciples are willing to befriend Ning Qi.

Some have even begun to place bets in advance...

For instance, at this moment.

A handsome cultivator in blue attire came to visit Ning Qi.

Eyes of surprise turned to the sky, and the sword light descended on Five Elements Peak, seemingly with some kind of permission, before slowly settling down. Subsequently, everyone was shocked into speechlessness by a sincere voice:

”Qin Minghao wishes to follow Senior Brother Ning, beseeching his favor!”

This was a veteran True Disciple, although ranked near the bottom among True Disciples, still a True Disciple. Now, he voluntarily pledged allegiance, which clearly held significant meaning. Although he was many times Ning Qi’s age, he respectfully referred to him as Senior Brother, showing no hesitation.

Qin Minghao thought simply.

Enhancing the beautiful doesn’t compare to helping with urgent needs. His talent was mediocre; the Primordial Spirit Realm might be the end of his path. Given this, why not take a gamble? Now, he served Ning Qi diligently, hoping that once Ning Qi excelled in the future, he might advance further!

Atop Five Elements Peak, a strikingly composed young man in white emerged, personally ushering Qin Minghao inside, Ning Qi smiled and said:

”What you say, Junior Brother Qin, is mistaken; in the future, if you don’t mind, let’s discuss the Dao together.”

Having a True Disciple become part of his retinue, Ning Qi’s prestige grew even further.

Many ordinary True Disciples were tempted but still observing, while only a few of exceptional strength sneered at the notion.

Regardless of what True Disciples think, numerous Inner Sect Disciples and Outer Sect Disciples, upon hearing this news, became even more fervent. True Disciples are exceedingly proud; only a few like the Top Ten True Inheritance have the chance to earn allegiance from others.

Yet now, with Ning Qi just becoming a True Disciple, another has already chosen to follow him.

This carries an unmistakable significance.

Suddenly.

Potential members within the Inner and Outer Sect scrambled to join Five Elements Peak.

Ning Qi’s achievement as True Disciple offered three hundred Inner Sect slots; aside from previous followers, many remained vacant.

Now, numerous Purple Mansion Realm True Men rushed to follow, instantly expanding his influence within the Infinite Sword Sect.

In the Upper Sect.

Every powerful True Disciple often represents a formidable faction, some even comparable to external Sects.

Ning Qi’s influence gradually expanded.

With numerous loyal and powerful followers, many tasks became easier to execute.

For instance, probing the movements of Heavenly Gang Sect.

Another is contacting reincarnated beings in the True Martial Realm within the Beixuan Domain.

Or finding Spiritual Treasures hiding the Power of Rules.

...

Bright Heart Hall.

Ning Qi sat cross-legged, a three-foot golden sword floating in front of his chest, its edge flickering as if to tear through the void, a pure form of Sword Rules, though quite limited.

Threadlike strands of Primordial Spirit Power wound around it, delving into its mysteries.

Rays of Spiritual Light rose in his mind, and Ning Qi easily deciphered the wonders contained within.

”What is the Power of Rules? In essence, it is the deeper layer of the world origin. In the boundless Sea of Realms, various Rule Origins are hidden. Should any world manage to incorporate portions, it becomes the Spirit Realm.”

”As for small worlds like the True Martial Realm, it lacks the Power of Rules, hence, even as it transforms, without the crucial element, it cannot host Void Path Realm cultivators, at most, permitting Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators to emerge.”

”If I wish to step into the Rule Realm, at least I must integrate enough Rule Origin.”

”Naturally, there exists Rule Origin within the Sea of Realms, yet it is deep and chaotic, shrouded within. Capturing it relies on chance. Waiting for the True Martial Realm to fortuitously gather Rule Origin might take untold time, so... why not extract pre-existing, orderly Rule Origin, and then use it as a foundation to respond to Rule Origin in the Sea, completing the power.”

This is the method Ning Qi devised to ascend.

Where can one find ready Rule Origin?

The Spirit Realm, of course.

His gaze settled on the Golden Sun Sword before him, a hint of a smile appearing.

”Unexpectedly smooth, having just reached Primordial Spirit Realm, acquiring such a Spiritual Treasure. Enhancing the reincarnation body’s combat power is secondary; the key is aiding the path of Realm Lord.”
