Chapter 255: Chapter 151 Cherish the Ones Before You, Discussing the Dao with the Blade Demon_3

A faint voice had already started to emerge: True Man Tianjian might become the next Martial Saint.

However.

No matter how noisy the outside world was, it had nothing to do with Ning Qi.

Since the day he made a ten-year agreement with Blade Demon, he returned to True Martial Mountain and resumed his previous routine life.

Blade Demon was arranged to stay at the Forbidden Land in the back mountain, known only to Taoist Longshan and Luo Wentian.

Of course.

Blade Demon was unaware that the so-called True Man Tianjian was merely a young boy of eleven.

Perhaps one day Ning Qi would face Blade Demon with his true appearance, but that day was not today.

Inside the Seeking Tao Institute.

Ning Qi was contemplating the silver page he had previously obtained from Wu Jianghe, which contained insights and speculations regarding the utilization of absorbing the Power of Heaven and Earth, somewhat similar to Blade Demon. Years ago, when Wu Jianghe’s Sword Dao reached the Ultimate Realm, he also attempted to break into the Martial Saint Realm but failed.

Therefore, Ning Qi did not hold high hopes for Blade Demon, and indeed it turned out to be so. ”However, their methods of breakthrough differ somewhat; Blade Demon uses Ultimate Realm Blade Intent to command the Three Flowers, thereby introducing the Power of Heaven and Earth into the body, whereas Wu Jianghe combines Sword Intent with the Three Flowers. Both have some semblance but failed at the next step.” ”Introducing the Power of Heaven and Earth into the body is already challenging, so how can one refine the Power of Heaven and Earth?” ”If one were to use their own body as a furnace, it requires an extremely powerful physical strength, even the strength of Flower of Essence at Perfection isn’t sufficient. Had I not intervened that day, Blade Demon would have perished. Perhaps other factors are required as well?”

Ning Qi pondered silently, his brows slightly furrowed, as he deduced various possibilities, yet he hadn’t reached that stage himself to try.

Then, he let out a long breath.

Regardless, the Martial Saint Realm was now unfolding its veil before him, no longer as unknown as it was before.

Suddenly.

His eyes moved, looking towards the direction of the back mountain, he sensed an intangible Blade Intent spreading. Only those whose Martial Path Intent had reached the Ultimate Realm could perceive it; Blade Demon was calling him.

Ning Qi’s mind stirred.

A Black Robed Taoist appeared, and then headed towards the back mountain.

After a short while.

Blade Demon’s figure appeared before Ning Qi, he said calmly: ”Blade Demon brother, why did you call for me?”

Since Blade Demon ascended the mountain, he had been calm, but today he suddenly showed a change.

Blade Demon turned around, his gaze somewhat astonished.

He had been keenly sensing the surroundings, yet he still couldn’t find out where True Man Tianjian came from; only when close could he sense it. He admired True Man Tianjian secretly.

Blade Demon’s voice was slightly hoarse: ”Recently, I’ve been nurturing my injuries and eliminating the Heart Demon, and now that it’s done, I wish to share my experiences of breaking into the Martial Saint Realm that day with the True Man.”

Ning Qi looked.

Though Blade Demon’s left arm was empty, his Essence, Qi, and Spirit were even stronger. At their level, losing an arm was indeed not a big deal and did not affect power.

Seeing Blade Demon speak thus, Ning Qi felt anticipation in his heart. ”I am willing to hear your experiences.” He expressed with a slightly solemn demeanor.

The two didn’t bother with formalities and directly sat cross-legged on the ground, an intangible momentum immediately spread around.

Blade Demon recalled for a moment, then slowly spoke: ”That day, with the aid of Tianjian brother’s hand reaching the Blade Path Transformation Realm, I had the thought of breaking the realm, after hundreds of years of deduction; the Martial Path Intent reached the Ultimate Realm can connect Three Flowers, further drawing the Power of Heaven and Earth into the body.” ”Everything happened as I deduced, nothing went wrong, but...there is something to this day that I find unfathomable.”

At this point, a barely noticeable fear appeared in Blade Demon’s eyes.

Ning Qi’s spirit was startled, asking: ”What aspect?”

Blade Demon adjusted his breath, continued: ”That day, when I commanded the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top with my Blade Intent, I reached the lifelong limit of control over the Power of Heaven and Earth. At that moment, I vaguely sensed a suppressive feeling, and as the Power of Heaven and Earth poured into the body, the suppressive feeling intensified tenfold, a hundredfold, with a great terror seemingly enveloping my heart, as if great calamity was about to befall.” ”Were it not for the fixation on reaching the Martial Saint Realm being my obsession for hundreds of years, I truly had the thought of giving up on the spot; considering it now, the emergence of the Heart Demon after my failure in breaking the realm was related to this, otherwise, I would not have succumbed.”

His will was resolute, generally not easily succumbing to Heart Demon obsession.

Ning Qi’s pupils narrowed sharply. ”Could it be that you sensed a great terror hidden within the Power of Heaven and Earth?”

Blade Demon froze, squinting his brows: ”Earlier, I hadn’t thought deeply, only felt that this great terror came from the oppression of Heaven and Earth, not allowing us to achieve Martial Saint. Now, hearing Tianjian brother’s words, it might actually come from the Power of Heaven and Earth itself? Tianjian brother saying so, could it be you also...”

Ning Qi nodded slightly: ”To not conceal from Blade Demon brother, since I reached the Celestial Human Realm, I often sensed a fearful feeling from the Power of Heaven and Earth. Initially, I thought only I had this perception, even once doubting if I was mistaken, but now Blade Demon brother felt the same, it mustn’t be mistaken.”

Both unconsciously glanced at the sky, faintly feeling a sense of fear. ”If it truly is so, does that imply, there’s a problem with the Power of Heaven and Earth? That’s causing us to fail in achieving Martial Saint?” ”Or maybe that has been the case throughout ages, and we must overcome this great terror to reach the Martial Saint Realm.”

Blade Demon remained silent.

With the Martial Saint inheritance severed, everything had to be explored oneself, which was indeed challenging.
