Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 164: Chapter 122: Journey to High Heaven, Enlightenment on a Rainy Night (Two-in-One)

True Martial Mountain.

Many disciples gathered together, the atmosphere was lively as they conducted Li Ling’s initiation ceremony.

Li Ling knelt respectfully on the ground, bowing his head and then presented the tea for his master: ”Master, please have tea!”

Upon learning that he was about to be admitted into the True Martial Sect, he felt extremely joyful. Everything he had seen and heard recently made him admire the True Martial Sect greatly, especially the camaraderie among the true disciples, which he envied, as he was actually quite lonely in the Royal Mansion.

Those Royal Family members who were close to him did so more because of the identity of the Town North King.

Taoist Longshan took a sip of tea with a smile: ”Get up. From now on, you are the eleventh true disciple of the True Martial Sect. We have no rigid rules, just act with a clear conscience, and you must remember this.”

He was in a good mood as well.

Recently, he had accepted two disciples with excellent aptitude, and he felt the enthusiasm he had when teaching Ye Qinghe and others returning once more. ”I will engrave it in my heart!” Li Ling nodded earnestly.

Everyone laughed happily and offered their congratulations.

Li Ling greeted his senior brothers and sisters, and Ning Qi and others also smiled and presented gifts. Zhuang Chen was quite excited; he had originally hit it off with Li Ling, and unexpectedly, they turned into senior and junior brothers in no time. Life indeed had such wondrous twists.

The Town North King witnessed this scene and smiled reassuringly.

He felt that his choice was right.

After witnessing Li Ling’s initiation ceremony, he descended the mountain to leave, but before departing, he discussed with Taoist Longshan about exchanging insights on Sword Dao with True Man Tianjian, promising that only Li Ling would watch, and he himself would definitely not interfere.

Additionally, he told Taoist Longshan that he would arrange for several experts to be near the True Martial Sect, so if any assistance was needed, they could contact them freely, and the resources needed for Li Ling’s cultivation would also be prepared.

This left Taoist Longshan quite moved.

Several days later.

Taoist Longshan formally began teaching Li Ling the True Martial inheritance; he planned to teach Li Ling the Bian Stance.

In the Martial Arts Arena.

Luo Wentian and Xiong Shi were watching; witnessing the scenery, their hearts were filled with emotion. Six or seven years ago, Ning Qi had initially stepped onto the Martial Path, and Taoist Longshan taught him the Bian Stance here; now the scene reappeared, but the object of transmission had changed.

Li Ling was considered a genius, but he was far behind compared to Ning Qi’s remarkable talent.

The two exchanged a smile, both recalling their past awkwardness.

They were somewhat astonished by Taoist Longshan teaching Li Ling the Bian Stance, but then they became relieved.

Li Ling was quite excited.

He had heard Zhuang Chen mention the True Martial Nine Stances and the Nine Great Celestial Beings fighting the Martial Saint several times over the past few days, and originally thought he might not have the chance to learn the True Martial Nine Stances, but unexpectedly, his master was teaching him.

However, after the excitement, he couldn’t help but hesitantly ask: ”Master, isn’t Ninth Senior Brother cultivating the Bian Stance? If I practice this stance skill...”

He felt somewhat uncomfortable, as if he was taking something from Ninth Senior Brother, though it wasn’t clearly stated that the True Martial Nine Stances were limited to one stance per person, yet all the disciples thought so.

Taoist Longshan smiled and said: ”No problem, Jiu has his own path. If you later encounter things you don’t understand with the Bian Stance, you can consult him. Jiu’s Bian Stance is more formidable than mine.”

His choice to teach Li Ling the Bian Stance was not a sudden decision, but rather a thoughtfully considered plan.

The True Martial Nine Stances are the foundation of the True Martial inheritance. Initially, Qin Yun’s departure had distressed him, and he suffered a setback in this area, but later, Divine Sword Old Man entrusted Zhuang Chen to him on his deathbed, which instead broke his mental block.

Since that was the case, it was simply reassembling the Nine Stances.

Ning Qi is the True Martial Path Guardian, practicing the True Martial Stance, leaving the Bian Stance vacant.

Unless unexpected.

It was unlikely he would take on more disciples afterwards.

Li Ling was quite shocked; he hadn’t anticipated that Ninth Senior Brother would be so powerful. During this time, he had heard Zhuang Chen mention several peculiar abilities of Ninth Senior Brother, but hadn’t expected the Bian Stance to be practiced more profoundly than his master. ”Come, continue practicing.”

Taoist Longshan explained the essence of the Bian Stance, and Li Ling, truly the son of the Town North King, grasped it instantly, allowing Taoist Longshan to fully enjoy the pleasures of being a master.

A moment later.

He had Luo Wentian and Xiong Shi practice with Li Ling, while he himself walked towards the Seeking Tao Institute.

In the Seeking Tao Institute.

Ning Qi continued to comprehend the Heavenly Thunder Blade; ever since the Town North King descended the mountain, he relaxed considerably, not having to be so vigilant, frequently triggering Blade Intent, and wielding the Thunder Dragon Blade Qi, savoring its transformations. He was waiting for sufficiently fierce lightning storm weather, and if not feasible, planned to head to High Heaven for observation.

Of course, he cherished his life and would definitely not delve deeply.

When Taoist Longshan entered the Seeking Tao Institute, he saw Ning Qi swing a blade, with the Thunder Dragon roaring, and then extinguishing the void.

He was somewhat amazed.

Had Ning Qi not been standing there for real, he might have thought Thunder Shock Blade Venerate had arrived.

It was astonishing how, after an encounter, a person’s ultimate skill was learned, surprisingly.

Ning Qi turned around and smiled: ”Master.”

With a wave of his hand, the Heavenly Thunder Blade flew into the house. Had someone else arrived, the Heavenly Thunder Blade would have been put away long ago, but knowing it was Taoist Longshan, and having just experienced a new insight, he didn’t stop.

He invited Taoist Longshan to sit and then brewed tea.

Taoist Longshan took a sip, feeling refreshed and his thoughts brightened several degrees; his eyes lit up as he asked: ”This tea is good, where did it come from?”

Ning Qi pointed to the enlightenment tea tree beside him, already waist-high, and smiled: ”It’s not the tea leaves themselves at work; the enlightenment tea tree saplings gather dew every morning. I’ve had Tiansheng collect it. If Master wishes, I’ll have Tiansheng send some over to you in the future.”
