Chapter 72: Chapter 66: Consecutive Breakthroughs (Seeking Follow-up Reads)

Having gone through so many fake deaths, Ning Qi was already well-versed in the process; he could now enter a state of ’tranquility’ with his eyes closed.

His breathing was so faint as to be inaudible.

Eventually disappeared completely.

Ning Qi’s incredibly formidable physical body became desolate. ...

Unexpectedly.

When Ning Qi woke up, it wasn’t like the previous two instances where half a month had passed; this time, twenty days had gone by. ”It seems that Inner Essence Realm Perfection is somewhat different.”

Ning Qi’s eyes shone with divine light.

He felt his state was unprecedentedly good, his Essence Yuan was abundant, and his body felt comfortable.

With eight consecutive fake deaths, Ning Qi’s body was now nine times stronger than when he first reached Body Tempering Realm Perfection!

This was exceedingly exaggerated.

One must know that Ning Qi had originally forged a Supreme foundation, now enhanced to nine times the original, it’s unimaginable how strong his body truly was. It wasn’t just about physical power; this strength represented an all-encompassing fortitude, profound in depth. ”Perhaps I could even match the physical body of a Celestial Human Realm expert who focuses on the Flower of Essence. I wonder how my body compares with the Wang Family Ancestor’s.”

The details of the battle between the Wang Family Ancestor and Taoist Longshan spread throughout Qing State, and Ning Qi was naturally aware that Ancestor Wang had reversed vitality, transforming decay into miraculous, earning accolades from many.

Ning Qi thought that perhaps he could also achieve this step now.

If he didn’t conceal the vitality in his body, it would be enough to outshine the entire True Martial Mountain.

Of course.

Even if his physical body could rival Ancestor Wang’s, it didn’t mean Ning Qi could fight against him. Ancestor Wang’s formidable physical body was only a vessel; the Power of Heaven and Earth was his true strength. ”Besides, there’s the matter of lifespan; I feel my lifespan is possibly double that of an ordinary Inner Essence Realm!” ”My comprehension has improved again!”

Ning Qi slightly moved his body, with a crystalline sheen covering his physique, he calmly focused, beginning to comprehend this most significant breakthrough.

With Inner Essence Realm Perfection, the biggest change was naturally in Inner Strength.

For a typical Inner Essence Realm Perfection, Inner Strength is almost tangible, able to extend nearly a yard outside the body, just waiting for the final transformation to condense into Gang Qi, to completely solidify it, and kill from a distance.

But Ning Qi long ago, when at the Eightfold Realm, could extend his Inner Strength ten yards.

And now...

Ning Qi stood in the courtyard, lightly pointed.

An invisible, formless Inner Strength shot out like a thread, and a peach tree branch thirty yards away quietly slid down, the cut incredibly smooth, Ning Qi then mentally commanded it, causing the peach tree branch to hover and spin back, slowly landing in Ning Qi’s hand.

Ning Qi’s mouth revealed a smile. ”If I recall correctly, the fifth senior brother’s Gang Qi could only shoot thirty yards, if it went beyond that, its power greatly diminished.” ”And now, my Inner Strength can extend as far as thirty yards, even surpassing the going but never returning effect of Gang Qi, and now I can also allow my Inner Strength to leave my body!”

Ning Qi flicked his finger lightly, waves of Sword Qi and Blade Qi shot towards the sky.

Nearly achieving an effect similar to Gang Qi, even the power was much greater than Gang Qi, Ning Qi’s Myriad Phenomena Chapter could make his shot-out Inner Strength possess various magical effects.

It’s incredibly intimidating. ”It’s a pity that the essence hasn’t undergone the final transformation, otherwise it wouldn’t require such huge expenditure.”

Ning Qi shook his head with a smile; even though his Inner Strength within his body was amazingly vast, it couldn’t sustain such expenditure. His ability to let Inner Strength leave his body relied entirely on recklessly stacking it up, equivalent to having a faucet wildly unleashing Inner Strength while fighting.

Only Ning Qi could afford such consumption.

However, to him.

The most reasonable way to fight was still wielding the thirty-yard long ’Inner Strength Great Cleaver’ to slay enemies; if Ning Qi were placed on the battlefield, he could mow them down like grass. ”My current combat strength, if unleashed completely, maybe I could battle a Primordial Core Realm?”

This was not him overestimating himself, but a conclusion drawn from several battles with Gang Essence Realm experts; he had estimated conservatively, most recently realized Ape King True Form and Unity of Heaven and Man, two great Secret Techniques, could greatly enhance his combat strength.

Ning Qi felt joyful.

Unknowingly, he had already reached such heights; looking around the world, he could be considered a strong individual.

Yet, he needed to continue settling.

Combat strength is only to protect the Dao, one’s own realm is the foundation. ”Next, it’s all about preparing for the last fake death with full force, achieving Great Dream Nine Deaths Strength Perfection, naturally advancing to Gang Essence Realm!”

Ning Qi was somewhat expectant.

The typical Gang Essence Realm has a lifespan of four hundred years; he would only be stronger.

There was still a long time before autumn and winter; he felt it wasn’t an issue to advance to Gang Essence Realm before his master emerged from seclusion. ...

Time flows gently, summer was lush.

Ning Qi’s cultivation was steadily progressing; for him, Gang Essence Realm posed no bottlenecks; it just required accumulation, then it would naturally break through.

Meanwhile, the True Martial Sect also welcomed good news successively.

True Disciples continuously broke through.

With Ning Qi’s Sleep Dream Skill and Sleep Dream Pill, a group of True Disciples at Inner Essence Realm mostly advanced a small realm; after all, the initial effects were the best, especially Ye Qinghe, who even used this to break through to Inner Essence Realm Perfection, though time was needed for consolidation, unable to rise to Gang Essence seamlessly.

Thankfully.

The first disciple Luo Wentian and second disciple Xiong Shi did not disappoint everyone.

With Gang Condensing Pill assisting, coupled with both cultivating Stacking Strength Skill, their foundation was solid, breaking through with no surprises.

Luo Wentian first broke through to Gang Essence Realm.

And ten days later.

Xiong Shi closely followed, stepping into Gang Essence Realm.

At once.

The True Martial Sect was rapturous.

From now on, aside from Taoist Longshan the Celestial Human Realm unparalleled expert, the True Martial Sect had as many as three Gang Essence Realm members, although all were at White Mist Realm, it was enough to present well, holding the fort at the Celestial Being Grand Ceremony.

Coincidentally, the three happened to cultivate each one of the Heaven-shaking True Gang, Earth-shaking True Gang, and Sea-covering True Gang, forming a joint strike technique, showing a glimpse of ’Nine Great Celestial Beings versus Martial Saint’.

As a sect established merely decades ago, such growth speed was already exceedingly remarkable.

It was foreseeable.

Once these True Disciples completely mature, the future True Martial Sect would surely be a giant dominant force.

Following that, Jiang Baishan, Luo Wentian, and Xiong Shi had a few sparring sessions, those battle scenes made True Martial Sect disciples dazzled, each aspiring in heart, yet unsurprisingly, Jiang Baishan was still the strongest.

After all, he was the first to step into White Mist Realm and had the highest aptitude.

Ning Qi felt the joyous atmosphere within the sect and couldn’t help but feel delighted, cultivating was more smooth than before.

But.

He still devoted most of his energy to his own matters.

Reading classic texts, cultivating, creating techniques, growing trees, practicing alchemy, teaching the White Ape...

Ning Qi was content.

The Celestial Being Grand Ceremony was an event for the True Martial Sect; Ning Qi was attentive, but he felt in the long future, such occurrences would be plentiful, thus he needed to seek inner peace amid the noise, getting accustomed early.

Anyway, whatever needed to be done, Ning Qi was doing.

And when it was time to exert effort, he wouldn’t shy away.
