Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 343: Chapter 187 Array Road_2

No one dared to stop him anymore.

The gazes were extremely complex, with some jealousy and some amazement. ”The True Martial Sect already has a True Man Tianjian, and now there’s another True Man Longshan. If they obtain the inheritance of the True Martial Hall, they might become a holy land of martial arts in the future!”

The two Celestial Being List experts were helpless, and regret was evident in their eyes.

Not only did they fail to stop the True Martial Sect, but they also offended them, truly losing on both fronts.

If they could go back in time, they definitely wouldn’t act like this. ... ”Master, you were amazing!”

Ye Qinghe didn’t hold back her praise, and the other disciples felt the same.

Standing with hands behind his back, the originally calm and poised Taoist Longshan couldn’t help but glare at Ye Qinghe in exasperation, but Ye Qinghe just turned her head with a smile.

Taoist Longshan shook his head and chuckled, then looked towards the white mist ahead, with some gravity. ”Jiu, what do you think?”

Ning Qi’s eyes emitted a soft golden light, and after a moment, he spoke: ”It’s similar to a Qimen Array, but infused with spiritual power, making it much more flexible than a regular Qimen Array. Anyone who steps in would lose their way; although there’s no danger, it would still harm their Divine Intent. Even if we travel together, we might be separated.”

Everyone nodded.

This was already public information. Previously, a sect tried to measure the place using sheer numbers, and found out that even hundreds of people entering together would unknowingly end up alone.

He Yan quickly asked: ”Is there a way to break it?” ”Either have a high enough realm.” ”Like the Vast Sea Sword Sect?” ”Exactly.” ”Is there any other way?”

Seeing the eager eyes, Ning Qi observed carefully again and then said: ”Then you must meet some special conditions.” ”Let’s try our True Martial Sect’s exclusive martial arts.”

Besides the True Martial Nine Stances, the True Martial Sect also obtained some martial arts from the True Martial Underground Palace back in the day. Hearing this, everyone’s eyes lit up; if what Ning Qi said was true, then the True Martial Hall might have indeed opened a special path for them.

Ye Qinghe and others laughed excitedly, eager to try.

Taoist Longshan smiled and said: ”Then let’s try it together. If we lose our way and are transported out, gather on Jade Snake Island. If we reach Mist Island, do not act rashly. Wait for everyone to arrive before searching for the True Martial Hall.” ”Okay!”

After responding, everyone activated their body techniques and rushed forward.

Walking on waves was not difficult for them.

Ning Qi stayed at the back.

He smiled slightly, with anticipation in his eyes. Once all the disciples disappeared, he too sped inside.

Before him was a vast expanse of white.

Ning Qi paused in mid-air, with amazement in his eyes.

He could feel his perception was completely blocked, as if he were surrounded by confusion from all sides. A peculiar force attached to the white mist, generating various mystical powers. Trying to activate the True Martial Martial Arts, the white mist sensed it immediately, revealing a faint path within.

Thrilled by the sight, he activated the Golden Pupil of Illusion-breaking, and the white mist before him slowly thinned. Far ahead, thousands of feet away, a small island loomed in and out of view. Looking around, he could see silhouettes slowly moving within; there were disciples of the True Martial Sect as well as others attempting the same.

Entering the mist with True Martial Martial Arts was a method for others to enter, but with Ning Qi’s strength, going in alone wasn’t a problem.

Ning Qi felt assured, then sat down cross-legged in mid-air.

He began to intricately perceive the mysteries of the mist’s power. ”This white mist should be a combination of spiritual qi and a Qimen Array, used to confuse directions.” ”It seems more than that; if changed further, it could trap enemies.”

Ning Qi was somewhat amazed. ”Even ordinary Celestial Human Realm experts might not distinguish directions; even with someone beside them, they wouldn’t sense it. Such an array is truly formidable!” ”I didn’t expect the combination of a Qimen Array and spiritual power to produce such wondrous power; this is another direction.”

Ning Qi felt as if a new world was opening before him.

He continued to comprehend the mysteries contained in the white mist, with streams of spiritual light like a waterfall in his mind, gradually revealing a new path. It was then he realized his previous mastery of Qimen Arrays was far from exhaustive.

With the infusion of spiritual power, the mundane could transform into the miraculous.

About one two-hour later.

Ning Qi slowly stood up.

He took a long breath, appearing satisfied. Even without setting foot on the small island, the insights gained from the mist already made the trip worthwhile, making him even more eager for the upcoming True Martial Hall.

Ning Qi put his hands behind his back, strolling across the waves with an indescribable grace.

Without even using the Golden Pupil of Illusion-breaking, he still advanced unhindered, as the white mist withdrew to either side like opening a path for him.

Soon after.

The small island was in front of him.

Ning Qi slowly stepped in; the True Martial Sect members had been waiting at the edge for a long time, and were relieved to see his arrival. ”Jiu, did something unexpected happen?” Taoist Longshan asked, as he believed Ning Qi should have arrived much earlier.

Ning Qi shook his head with a smile: ”I was thrilled by the sight and spent some time understanding the white mist, which delayed me a bit.”

Seeing Ning Qi’s slightly delighted expression, Taoist Longshan, Ye Qinghe, and the others knew that the gains must have been considerable, secretly expressing awe in their hearts. ”Let’s go.” Taoist Longshan took the lead and the mist gradually receded.

Instinctively, everyone looked up and stood frozen in place.

In the distance, numerous immortal palaces loomed amidst the clouds and mist, with white cranes flying and spirit beasts calling, countless exotic flowers and herbs extending all the way to their feet. ”Is this really on Mist Island? Why is there no sign of it from the outside world?” ”I used to think the rumors were exaggerations, but now it seems those people were conservative. Such a scene might only exist in the Upper Realm where Martial Saints ascend to.”

The disciples were in awe.

Especially when they saw the towering True Martial Hall in the center.

The mere words of ”True Martial Hall” exuded various mystical auras, enough to inspire many insights at a glance.

Taoist Longshan’s eyes glistened with tears, filled with a pilgrim’s excitement. ”So... this is the True Martial Underground Palace I once saw! I was in the mountains, not seeing the true form; now I finally see it, a blessing across three lifetimes!”

Everyone’s emotions surged.

Ning Qi’s gaze fell on the words ”True Martial Hall,” with golden light flowing in his eyes, trying to glean the mysteries, but he immediately restrained his secret technique because he sensed a strange power obstructing his probe, feeling that continuing might lead to backlash.

He merely stared at those words, relying on his understanding to perceive their profoundness, with streams of spiritual light continually rising.

The simple three words revealed to him a towering immortal mountain, invisible in its entirety, majestic and ethereal, a power unimaginable to him. ”Is this the source of our inheritance?” A pride welled up in every disciple’s heart.

Continuing forward.

Entering the Immortal Palace.

It was then noticed that the previously seen immortal cranes and spirit beasts seemed to vanish like illusions, leaving only the still grandiose palaces filled with immortal charm. However, Ning Qi felt this might not be the case.

Each immortal palace, not like anything of this world, remained tightly closed, and everyone cautiously explored. ”Come take a look, everyone!” Ye Qinghe’s voice drew everyone’s attention.

She stood excitedly before the tallest, impossible-to-see-top True Martial Hall.

The crowd arrived, their gaze fell on the stone tablet in front of the True Martial Hall.

One line stood out. ”Enter the True Martial Hall, those who pass the test shall receive the True Martial inheritance.”

Eyes instantly turned to Taoist Longshan.

Taoist Longshan didn’t delay.

Suppressing his excitement, he took a deep breath and said: ”Opportunity is before you, seize it well!”

With that, he led the way towards the True Martial Hall.
