Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 326: Chapter 181: Many Secrets

Taoist Baishan remained puzzled.

How did Ning Qi manage to achieve Celestial Being Perfection at the age of eleven and not only that, but also wield the Martial Saint Secret Treasure, using spiritual power with such mastery, rivaling us old folks.

He had no doubt that once Spiritual Awakening occurred and there was a Dharma Method, Ning Qi could effortlessly step into the Martial Saint Realm. ”Never in history have we seen someone so monstrous, it’s a pity and a lament; if only he had appeared earlier, perhaps everything would change.” He internally sighed.

Meanwhile, Ning Qi slowly nodded, a look of understanding in his eyes. ”I see, so you wish to prevent the emergence of Martial Saints born from personal cultivation, rather than those born from external forces. In other words, Martial Saints born from external forces pose no threat to you?” Ning Qi turned his head to inquire.

Taoist Baishan revealed a wry smile: ”You rascal, trying to trick me again.”

Ning Qi pursed his lips: ”Forget it, I won’t ask then. Can you at least tell me when this so-called Spiritual Awakening is supposed to happen?”

Taoist Baishan breathed a sigh of relief: ”That won’t be an issue. There’s about a year left before the Spiritual Awakening fully erupts, and then it will reach its peak for a period. At that time, many miraculous changes will occur between heaven and earth, it’s an opportunity you can’t find elsewhere.” ”If you can acquire the Martial Saint Technique beforehand, you’ll have the chance to enter the Martial Saint Realm directly. Due to certain agreements, I can’t give you the Martial Saint Technique directly, but someone can.”

Ning Qi’s eyes slightly shone: ”Who?”

Taoist Baishan smiled: ”Your True Martial inheritance.”

Ning Qi was invigorated, and instantly, he recalled many things. Once, Taoist Longshan mentioned the location of the Underground Palace where the True Martial inheritance lies. He even personally went to see it but only found some traces.

Taoist Baishan continued: ”Your True Martial inheritance is quite extraordinary. If you lay the foundation with it and encounter the opportunity of Spiritual Awakening, you might have the hope to soar to the heavens.”

He looked at Ning Qi with expectation.

After Ning Qi made his move, he was certain Ning Qi was not an afterthought laid down by that old turtle but simply lucky, which made him somewhat jealous. It was indeed sheer luck; if he were to reincarnate and find that the True Profound Sect had such an unparalleled prodigy, he’d likely smile from ear to ear.

Ning Qi asked: ”Where is it?”

Taoist Baishan looked towards the mountain: ”No one knows presently, but soon the old turtle will emerge. Since your master obtained some of the True Martial inheritance back then, he surely knows of the True Martial Hall’s location. Before Spiritual Awakening, the True Martial Hall will definitely reappear, then you may head there immediately.”

Ning Qi earnestly nodded; he didn’t know who Taoist Baishan’s ”old turtle” referred to, but he guessed it might be the Ancient Saint, the source of the True Martial inheritance, or related to it.

He felt a sense of anticipation.

Though he was confident in devising his own breakthrough into Martial Saint Technique, having a reference would naturally be better. Yet, he wouldn’t pin all his hopes on this; he secretly decided to fully research the Martial Saint Technique once he returned to the mountain.

Originally, he planned to travel downhill afterward to investigate the secrets behind the world’s changes. But judging from Taoist Baishan’s attitude now, it’s clear there are hardly any means to uncover the truth.

The only method is to step into the Martial Saint Realm himself. ”Spiritual Awakening is an important juncture; those Ancient Saints will likely seize the chance to soar to the heavens, gradually restoring their former realms, far beyond ordinary Martial Saints. If I want to catch up or even surpass them, I need to continuously strengthen my foundation before Spiritual Awakening.” A surge of determination arose in Ning Qi’s heart.

Seeing the vastness of the world, only then did he realize his insignificance. ”Thank you,” Ning Qi sincerely expressed gratitude.

Taoist Baishan suddenly beamed, feeling refreshed: ”Hearing those words from your mouth is truly not easy, it wasn’t in vain for me to exert so much effort.”

Ning Qi merely cast a sideways glance.

Although he had learned many secrets now, the fundamental question remained unresolved. The source of the great terror lurking in the world was still unknown. From Taoist Baishan’s subtle attitude, it could be seen, though it wouldn’t impact the promotion to Martial Saint, it might pose some hidden hazard.

If possible, Ning Qi still wished to resolve it.

However, he didn’t continue discussing it but planned to try it secretly himself.

Unknowingly, the two had already stepped out of the Scripture Repository.

In the distance.

Many guests had begun bidding farewell to the three True Men of the True Profound Sect.

They had experienced an event that truly refreshed their worldview; only now did they realize that many Ancient Saints hadn’t ascended but lived to this day through various means. Today’s skirmish among several Ancient Saints might just be a beginning. A new era is about to dawn, and heaven and earth are about to shake profoundly.

Eagerly, they couldn’t wait to convey today’s events back home.

Taoist Baishan, with hands clasped behind, gazed far away, feeling some sentiment: ”After today, the world will change.”

Ning Qi remained silent.

The return of the Ancient Saints, regardless of their intentions, at least for now, will displease some of them, inevitably leading to disputes, thereby re-dividing interests.

He asked: ”You mentioned before that the lifespan of a Martial Saint is only three thousand years, how did you live to the present age?”

Taoist Baishan was somewhat silent, his gaze slightly complex, and only after a while did he sigh and say: ”There are various means, such as reincarnation, self-sealing, or blood inheritance, and perhaps other methods. But these three are mainstream.”
