Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 80: Chapter 74: Arriving as Promised

In front.

Senior Brother Dong He of the Divine Sword Sect, who was chatting with Luo Wentian, suddenly turned around and realized that his junior disciple was missing, and he was immediately startled.

Luo Wentian, however, smiled and held him back, saying: ”Don’t worry, it should be my junior disciple who took him to play, no need to worry.”

Dong He immediately felt relieved.

He looked at Luo Wentian in front of him with some envy, even a bit of jealousy. He had heard that Taoist Longshan had made a great show of power at the Wang Family in Qing State, and in the end, the Wang Family even offered a Gang Condensing Pill as a gift, allowing Luo Wentian to successfully step into the Gang Essence Realm.

He is also now at the Realm of Perfection in the Inner Essence Realm, and if he had a Gang Condensing Pill, stepping into the Gang Essence Realm would not be difficult.

Unfortunately, he didn’t have the opportunity, as Gang Condensing Pills are incredibly precious.

He felt somewhat conflicted inside. ”Brother Dong? Brother Dong?” ”Rest assured, with my junior disciple there, there won’t be any problems.”

Luo Wentian just assumed the other was worried about Zhuang Chen.

Dong He quickly waved his hand. ”Brother Luo, you worry too much. My junior disciple has been mentioning Ning Qi for the past three years, and now that they meet suddenly, being a bit close is normal, after all, they are just kids.”

A smile appeared on his face. ...

At the Seeking Tao Institute at the moment.

Zhuang Chen was trembling.

Earlier, when Ning Qi suggested taking him to play at the Seeking Tao Institute, his eyes lit up, and he agreed without hesitation.

But at this moment.

Seeing Ning Qi’s smiling eyes, he felt a bit flustered, sensing a chilly aura. ”Ning... Ning Qi, what are you going to do?”

Ning Qi, seeing Zhuang Chen’s expression, couldn’t help but go speechless, as if he was going to do something weird.

He slapped Zhuang Chen on the forehead, speaking angrily: ”Teach you a secret technique related to the sword, do you want it?”

Zhuang Chen’s eyes suddenly lit up. ”Really?”

Three years ago, the sword technique Ning Qi taught him was treated as a treasure, and he had comprehended the Overbearing Sword Intent through it. Now hearing that Ning Qi was going to teach him a new Sword Path Secret Technique, he couldn’t help but rub his hands excitedly. ”How could I lie to you, but these few days, you need to cooperate with me for some research, and don’t tell anyone else. I promise this secret technique is much stronger than the previous sword I taught you.”

Ning Qi really wasn’t lying to him.

Previously, exploring the physique of the White Ape, he created the powerful secret technique of the Ape King True Form. This time, by exploring Zhuang Chen’s physique, even if he can’t fully understand it, there will definitely be some gains.

If he really created a secret technique as strong as the Ape King True Form, Ning Qi wouldn’t be selfish to hide it.

Zhuang Chen was even more excited and nodded.

Beside them, Yuan Tiancheng was watching with a smirk. Although the Ape King True Form was great, the process was somewhat torturous. ”Sit tight.”

Ning Qi said, slowly raising his hand and placing it on Zhuang Chen’s back.

The next moment.

Strands of Gang Qi surged from Ning Qi’s palm, infiltrating Zhuang Chen’s body. Gang Qi was metamorphosed from Inner Strength, naturally having the same effects, but Ning Qi once probed the White Ape’s body with Gang Qi and found it powerless against the essence of bloodlines, so he temporarily gave up.

However, now touching the surface was no problem. ”Ah!”

Zhuang Chen let out a cry, his whole body trembling, instinctively wanting to break free. Fortunately, Ning Qi’s power suppressed him, making him unable to move an inch.

Zhuang Chen immediately realized and held still despite it.

A strange sensation arose from his body, unbearably itchy and slightly sore and weak. When Ning Qi was probing, the Gang Qi would constantly vibrate within the flesh and meridians, creating a somewhat sour sensation.

Zhuang Chen looked at the schadenfreude White Ape, feeling miserable, but the promise of the Sword Path Secret Technique was alluring enough for him to endure.

He didn’t know how much time had passed.

Zhuang Chen was already drenched in sweat, just about to reach his limit.

Ning Qi finally withdrew his right hand.

Before Zhuang Chen could ask anything, Ning Qi had already sat cross-legged and slowly closed his eyes. ”Innate Sword Bone... basically, it’s a special physique among humans. People with this physique have remarkable sensitivity towards the Sword Dao, and even possess an extra boost when using Sword Dao Ultimate Skills.” ”This always seemed somewhat similar to the bloodline of Heavenly Beasts. Could it be that the Human Race once had ’those favored by the heavens,’ similar to ’Celestial Beings’? Extraordinary innate talents? But if so, every Human Race should have such a powerful bloodline, so why so rare?” ”However, a physique sensitive to the Sword Dao also feels like it might be acquired postnatal. Could it be that among Zhuang Chen’s ancestors, there was a Heaven-Reaching powerhouse who cultivated to an unprecedented realm and even altered their own bloodline?”

Ning Qi found the Innate Sword Bone intriguing, not quite understanding it, mainly due to too little information.

He had various guesses in his heart, but eventually abandoned them. ”Forget it, let’s first comprehend this Innate Sword Bone. Upon probing, Zhuang Chen’s physique is indeed different from ordinary people, especially near the bones, there are peculiar fluctuations that resonate with the tendons and flesh. This might be one of the reasons for the mystical manifestation of the Innate Sword Bone.”

Ning Qi’s mind was constantly sparked with inspiration.

He had previously contemplated creating a secret technique to cultivate Postnatal Sword Bone, but now it seems too distant. First, understand these peculiar fluctuations, then it won’t be hard to create a powerful Sword Path Secret Technique.

Time flowed by.

Zhuang Chen’s stomach had long started growling with hunger, but he dared not disturb Ning Qi.

Finally.

Ning Qi opened his eyes, with Zhuang Chen eagerly asking: ”How is it?”

Ning Qi smiled: ”I have some clues, but you’ll need to cooperate with me a few more times.”

With the experience of the Ape King True Form behind him, Ning Qi was much more familiar this time, even to the extent that if not for worrying about Zhuang Chen’s body, he could continue probing with Gang Qi. After all, his current Gang Qi strength compared to the previous Inner Essence Realm is vastly different.

Zhuang Chen immediately showed a bitter face.

But thinking that if he gave up halfway, the Sword Path Secret Technique would be ruined, he could only grit his teeth and agree. ”Come on, let’s eat.” Ning Qi said, hearing Zhuang Chen’s stomach growl, and laughed.

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Chen eagerly followed. ...

Disciples of the Divine Sword Sect were accommodated in the guest quarters.

For the following three days.

Ning Qi would take Zhuang Chen to the Seeking Tao Institute every day for a two-hour study. Zhuang Chen was both in pain and joy, with a chicken leg dangling in front of him, he had to grit his teeth and endure.

Ning Qi estimated that another one or two days would be enough. He planned to find an excuse for Zhuang Chen to stay a few more days on True Martial Mountain after the Celestial Being Grand Ceremony ended.

He felt that this Sword Path Secret Technique was extremely suitable for a Swordsman, capable of greatly amplifying Sword Dao Ultimate Skills, and was somewhat looking forward to it.

And during these three days.

One renowned force after another from Qing State also arrived successively, and normally rare to see Gang Essence Realm powerhouses were now everywhere, with quite a few Primordial Core Realm experts as well.

Those invited were either prominent figures, righteous figures with widespread good reputation, or at least from influential forces, where the elders would bring some disciples to broaden their horizons.

Meanwhile, some Martial Artists who, due to various reasons, couldn’t ascend the mountain gathered in True Martial City.

They waited eagerly, as they could hear news passed down from the mountain in real-time here.

The eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Arrived as promised.
