Chapter 442: Chapter 227 Evolution of Ten Thousand Paths_2

He had known True Monarch Ziyun for ten thousand years, understanding each other thoroughly. Now, as True Monarch Ziyun spoke, he immediately knew what the other had guessed, but he remained emotionless and said:

”It’s just a small world, I can handle it alone. Junior Sister Ziyun, just wait in the sect for Senior Brother’s good news.”

True Monarch Ziyun smiled faintly and said:

”Senior Brother, your words are too formal. Little sister just wants to contribute to the sect~~”

Black Demon True Monarch stared at the two, his eyes somewhat deep, pondering over something unknown. After a moment, he smiled and said:

”Alright, since it’s rare for the two Junior Brothers and Sisters to want to share my burdens, let’s do it this way. This expedition, Junior Brother Black Flame will be the Grand Commander, and Junior Sister Ziyun will be the Second Commander to lead the army on the campaign! As for the others, stay in the sect to prevent some unwise people from acting recklessly!”

The Mountain and Sea Realm is not entirely peaceful, and the competition within the world is not small either, so the Black Demon Sect cannot send all its forces to conquer the small world.

If something goes wrong, they’ll be doomed if their home gets stolen.

”Yes, Sect Master Senior Brother!” everyone replied in unison.

The powerful voice of Black Demon True Monarch echoed through the sky:

”One month from now, disciples who have obtained expedition slots gather at Black Demon Cliff!”

The entire Black Demon Sect was completely boiling.

To conquer a small world, this was an event that rarely occurs in hundreds of years, and it was something they encountered.

Everyone was eager, swearing to seize the opportunity for a great task!

...

Meanwhile.

Martial Realm.

All Saints looked expectantly at Ning Qi, and Martial Saint of Great Yan couldn’t help but ask:

”Dare I ask Celestial Sword Martial Saint, is there another method to try?”

One by one, eyes filled with hope.

Ning Qi said calmly:

”By merging myself with the world, I become the Master of the Martial Realm, thereby unleashing the full power of the Martial Realm to resist the invasion from the Mountain and Sea Realm.”

As his words fell.

Everyone was stunned.

The Master of the Martial Realm?

This idea was simply astonishing. They had never considered it before. Perhaps someone had once thought about it, but upon perceiving the vast and majestic power of the Martial Realm’s will, an irresistible belief would arise, discouraging thoughts of replacement.

They stared blankly at Ning Qi, their hearts pounding more violently.

But surprisingly, no one refuted.

If someone proposed becoming the Master of the Martial Realm, ruling over everyone, when hope was still alive, many Martial Saints would probably feel uncomfortable.

But now.

After experiencing the betrayal of Heaven-Slaying Martial Saint and others, the Martial Realm had almost reached its end. Ning Qi proposing it now, the resistance in everyone’s hearts was nearly non-existent because this was an effort to save the Martial Realm.

Not to mention, Ning Qi had just saved them.

This was one of the reasons Ning Qi proposed it in public. Instead of secretly merging with the Martial Realm, it was better to announce it openly, saving future time on consolidating the Martial Realm’s power.

Now, everyone had only one question in their hearts.

Can it succeed?

Even the usually confident Taoist Baishan couldn’t help but ask:

”Ning Qi, how certain are you?”

The corner of Ning Qi’s mouth curved slightly:

”Ninety-eight percent.”

Everyone stirred.

Especially Taoist Longshan, who understood Ning Qi well, couldn’t help but lift the corners of his mouth. He knew that Ning Qi’s ninety-eight percent was actually a hundred percent, but his disciple never liked to speak too confidently.

All Saints became excited, and Thunderstorm Martial Saint laughed heartily and said:

”If that’s the case, why doesn’t Celestial Sword Martial Saint give it a try? We can guard you!”

He had once clashed with Ning Qi but was ultimately won over by Ning Qi’s formidable strength. Having witnessed Ning Qi’s recent victory over three Absolute Strong Persons, his respect and admiration grew even more. In his view, having an additional Martial Realm Master made no difference, as long as it could change the destiny of the Martial Realm, what did it matter?

This is now the thought of most Martial Saints.

Perhaps a few felt uncomfortable, but the general trend couldn’t be changed.

Martial Saint of Great Yan took a deep breath and said:

”Please, Celestial Sword Martial Saint, save the Martial Realm again!”

He bowed deeply.

All Saints bowed in unison and said:

”Please, Celestial Sword Martial Saint, save the Martial Realm again!”

Ning Qi gazed at everyone before him, feeling a sense of responsibility surging in his heart. In some ways, he and the Saints before him were already a community of destiny, sharing both glory and loss.

”Rest assured, the Martial Realm will not only survive but will also flourish!”

He felt an inexplicable surge of heroism, then turned to face the world will separated by the Thunderous Celestial Curtain.

”Everyone, please wait.”

As he finished speaking.

Ning Qi tore open the Thunderous Celestial Curtain, facing the Martial Realm will alone.

Everyone watched that transcendent silhouette, their eyes filled with daze. This scene would be engraved in their minds for a lifetime.

Ning Qi certainly didn’t need them to guard him.

The Thunderous Celestial Curtain closed again, and everyone could only watch that figure move slowly and resolutely toward the will of the Martial Realm.

The Martial Realm’s will, which had been roaring for a long time, finally couldn’t help but unleash its anger, and its instinct made it fear the youth before it.

In an instant.

Countless visions manifested.

There was heavenly fire descending, transforming into red lotuses, enveloping Ning Qi. At the same time, spiritual waters turned into seas, waves surging with terrifying power, intending to tear Ning Qi apart, and a frightening fierce wind, formless and invisible, rushed in with a trajectory of ripping through the void...

The Martial Realm’s will could mobilize the power of the Martial Realm, manipulating Heaven and Earth Origin at its fingertips, with power beyond the limits of the Martial Saint Realm.

All Saints were astounded, breaking out in cold sweat.

But Ning Qi remained calm.

He smiled.

For a long time, he had always confronted enemies with the Sword Dao, yet the world didn’t know he was equally versed in all paths, unmatched in none.

Ning Qi stood with his hands behind his back, facing the myriad visions alone.

With a casual wave, boundless flames arose; that spiritual fire pure, scorching the void. The heavenly fire red lotuses fell into this boundless sea of fire, gradually being refined. Martial Saint of Great Yan was full of astonishment, himself a peerless expert in the Fire Path, yet witnessing Ning Qi conjure this with ease, he couldn’t help but feel ashamed.

”This, this... Isn’t Celestial Sword Martial Saint most skilled in Sword Dao? Even the Fire Path has reached such a realm!”

But more astonishing was yet to come.

The spiritual sea surged forward, yet in front of Ning Qi, a Heaven-Reaching Water Dragon materialized, the True Dragon Devouring Sea, suppressing each wave.

Then a gentle spring breeze blew, and the fierce piercing wind melted like spring snow, disappearing without a trace.

...

All Saints were in a daze.

Everything before them was too astonishing.

No matter what power the will of the Martial Realm used, Ning Qi countered with the same force, and even better, the Saints shockingly discovered that it incorporated many paths they were adept at, far surpassing them.

Heaven fire, spiritual water, fierce wind, thunder, sword light, blade beam... all kinds of forces were encompassed within.

Making them almost unable to believe their eyes.

”Mastering all paths, each reaching the Transformation Realm, is this truly humanly possible?” Martial Saint of Great Yan genuinely exclaimed, looking at that youth as if looking at a deity.

The other Martial Saints felt the same.

Even the always confident old Profound Turtle found himself underestimating Ning Qi. Based on the little True Martial inheritance he had acquired, not even Daoists of the True Martial Immortal Sect could achieve this level.

Ning Qi strolled leisurely, inspecting his myriad powers.

This was what he had gleaned from comprehending Heaven and Earth over time, also digesting what he had obtained from the True Martial inheritance.

His evolution of myriad paths wasn’t to impress the crowd.

But to enhance his harmony with the will of the Martial Realm, which he deduced as the first step towards the Realm Lord Realm.

At this moment.

It was evident.

After Ning Qi’s evolution of myriad paths, the will of the Martial Realm seemed stalled, seemingly unable to comprehend why the being before it could match itself, even surpassing it.

Especially since the aura of paths emitted by the being before it was somewhat similar to its own.

The myriad paths made way for Ning Qi.

Marching forward, Ning Qi reached the will of the Martial Realm. Gazing at that ineffable presence before him, a fervor ignited in his eyes.

Finally, he had reached this step.
