Chapter 485: Chapter 243: Infinite Sword Sect, The Strongest Genius in History_3

Another three years passed, Ning Qi turned nine years old. He naturally advanced to the Magic Realm, and under the envious and respectful gazes of his fellow cultivators, he prematurely became an Outer Sect disciple.

The commotion caused by Ning Qi was even greater.

Some people learned that an orphan with exceptional talent had emerged from the Skill-Transferring Peak and came to make connections. However, the stronger figures were not attentive since the Magic Realm was not enough to capture their attention; reaching the Purple Mansion Realm was the true beginning of strength. There were many examples of quick progress due to the consumption of Spirit Medicine and Marvelous Pill, only to become ordinary later.

Lu Ziyue was even more delighted. She determined that Ning Qi was extraordinary, with limitless potential for the future. She dedicated some time to impart immortal path experiences to him. Although Ning Qi did not need it, he was quite grateful, reciprocating by imparting some Spiritual Light from the Primordial Spirit Realm to Lu Ziyue, allowing her to gain substantial benefits.

Five more years passed.

At fourteen, Ning Qi perfected the Magic Realm and then broke through to achieve the status of a True Man in the Purple Mansion Realm, and was thus promoted to Inner Sect disciple.

From this moment on, Ning Qi’s name truly resounded throughout the Infinite Sword Sect. Many True Disciples set their eyes on recruiting him, but he politely declined all of them. Some True Disciples wanted to secretly teach Ning Qi a lesson, but the summons from the Vice Sect Leader of the Infinite Sword Sect dispelled those inappropriate thoughts.

Ning Qi, confronting this powerful figure, performed well and received numerous rewards, along with many appreciative glances.

He understood that from the moment he stepped into the Wuji Hall, many gazes were constantly scanning him, with faint glimmers of Spiritual Treasure light. This was the Infinite Sword Sect examining his entirety, to prevent any possession by an old monstrous spirit.

Fortunately, Ning Qi passed the ordeal without danger, gaining the approval of many strong individuals, and his prestige rose further.

This was his calculated cultivation speed, neatly aligning with the boundary of genius, merely subjecting the Infinite Sword Sect to its routine inspections.

If he were to go all out, how could it take nine years to reach the Purple Mansion Realm?

But advancing too quickly would be unnecessary; achieving the Purple Mansion Realm in just a few years would not be considered merely genius, but would attract scrutiny inside and out, to verify if anything peculiar was involved.

This pace was just right.

It could both avoid the scrutiny of stronger beings in his weak state and prevent attracting malice from the Will of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Once he stepped onto the Primordial Spirit Realm and condensed his Primordial Spirit, there would no longer be any issues.

Despite that.

As his cultivation deepened, Ning Qi also earned the reputation of being the first prodigy of the Inner Sect.

Lu Ziyue was stunned. She witnessed Ning Qi’s growth from a powerless infant to reaching this stage, far beyond her imagination. Now, his cultivation was soon to surpass her own.

On this day.

Lu Ziyue came at night to meet Ning Qi, expressed her emotions, and then left with complex feelings.

”Junior Brother Ning, as I depart this time, I am going to seclude myself to break through to the Primordial Spirit Realm. I hope your path to immortality will be smooth.”

She felt a sense of crisis deep within.

Feeling that Ning Qi was about to surpass her, the thought of calling him Senior Brother made her feel indescribably awkward.

Ning Qi could only shake his head and smile.

Thanks to his subtle influence, it should not be difficult for Lu Ziyue to break through to the Primordial Spirit Realm, but how long it would take was uncertain. He understood Lu Ziyue’s intention: not to emerge from seclusion until achieving the Primordial Spirit Realm. For this, she spent time purchasing merits to avoid having to accept tasks for decades.

He had a premonition that it might be some time before he saw her again.

In the blink of an eye, another ten years passed.

This year, Ning Qi was already twenty-four years old. Not only was he the foremost prodigy of the Inner Sect, but also the foremost powerhouse.

Countless disciples admired him, and even True Disciples respected him.

Many people speculated when Ning Qi would become a True Disciple, perhaps the strongest genius in the history of the Infinite Sword Sect.

That year, Lu Ziyue had been in seclusion for ten years and had not emerged.

And Ning Qi was about to achieve the status of a True Monarch in the Primordial Spirit Realm.
