Many thoughts flashed through Ning Qi's mind, yet the process of converting the power of heaven and earth became increasingly smooth.

The whole process gradually stabilized, as the once surging power of heaven and earth found a vent, no longer converging and clogging together, but orderly absorbed into the Yu King Pearl, transforming into a more powerful Martial Saint power. However, in the process, a 'vacuum belt' of heaven and earth power inevitably formed.

Several experts in the Celestial Human Realm, who were comprehending at the True Martial sword monument, looked doubtfully and uncertainly towards the depths of the True Martial Sect, only now becoming aware.

"Could it be that True Man Tianjian has had another breakthrough, or possibly comprehended some unparalleled secret technique?"

Everyone felt even more reverence in their hearts.

Nowadays, many believe True Man Tianjian has the strength to strike for the first on the Celestial Being List. If another breakthrough has been achieved, this news, once spread, will surely cause a stir.

A smile appeared at the corner of Taoist Longshan's mouth.

His cultivation is also advancing by leaps and bounds, just waiting for the medicinal power of the Heaven-Reaching Pill to be refined, then he will naturally step into the Celestial Being Perfection Realm. At that time, with the secret techniques like the Bridge of Celestial Being taught by Ning Qi, his power will also become exceptionally formidable.

"Jiu's capabilities are unprecedented throughout the ages; this world cannot confine him."

He sighed in his heart.

Now he also knew many secrets of the Martial Saint Realm, but he firmly believed that Ning Qi could forge ahead fearlessly. As for himself, as long as he doesn't hold his disciple back, it would suffice. He recalled eleven years ago, as if seeing those flames illuminating his pupils.

Taoist Longshan thought, rather than saying he saved Ning Qi, it might be more accurate to say Ning Qi chose him. This would be something he prided himself on for a lifetime.

At this moment, the most excited one was the Blade Demon in the back mountain.

He looked around, constantly gazing in the direction of the Seeking Tao Institute.

Feeling the increasingly steady power of heaven and earth, he was restless, even scratching his ears and cheeks as if compared to the day he broke through, the elements weren't the same. Having personally experienced such a breakthrough, he could clearly perceive the differences.

"Could it be that Taoist Friend Tianjian succeeded?" he wondered.

An instinct urged him to go see it, but at last, he took several deep breaths to quell such impulse.

"If Taoist Friend Tianjian succeeded, he wouldn't hide it from me, no need to be anxious at this moment."

He trusted in True Man Tianjian's promise.

Yet he couldn't help but look forward more, as if he had already seen the gate to the peak of the Martial Path gradually opening before him.

Everyone's thoughts were different.

But Ning Qi was unaware of this, having already shielded those disturbances as much as possible. However, the fluctuations from condensing Martial Saint power somewhat exceeded his expectations, but fortunately, it was harmless.

At this moment.

Ning Qi was holding the lustrous Treasure Pearl, exceedingly delighted.

The Yu King Pearl was already saturated.

"Now, the amount of Martial Saint power within the Yu King Pearl is at least three times what it was before! Not only that, its quality has also surpassed."

In other words.

If Ning Qi now manipulated the Yu King Pearl, it could unleash even greater power. With a wave of his hand, a lustrous slash streaked through the air, transforming into a five-clawed White Dragon amidst a formless roar, majestic and awe-inspiring. Perhaps because Ning Qi himself personally gathered this power, he found it more flexible to control.

Ning Qi was thoroughly enjoying himself.

After a long while.

He finally stopped, somewhat reluctant to end.

"Just controlling the Martial Saint power condensed by the Yu King Pearl is already like this. I wonder how it would feel if I condensed Martial Saint power within myself?"

Ning Qi felt a bit eager.

The feeling of reaching a realm through external force and doing so personally were entirely different.

Just like back then, although he could touch the power of the Celestial Human Realm with the Thunder Beast Fake Pill, it couldn't compare to reaching the Celestial Human Realm himself.

"However, until I understand what kind of change has occurred in heaven and earth, the Yu King Pearl is a very good substitute so that my power doesn't stagnate entirely."

"Now that Martial Saint power is no longer exhaustible, I should study more on how to use it to unleash greater power."

Ning Qi put away the Yu King Pearl, gradually calming his joy.

The way forward on the Martial Path is unknown, and the task heavy with a long way to go.

He had already prepared for the worst. If the path of heaven and earth power was not viable, he might try to develop another path, to see if he could bypass heaven and earth power, though that would necessarily consume a lot of time; he wouldn't do so unless absolutely necessary.

Currently, the best direction is still to explore the anomalies in the power of heaven and earth.

"If after the Eighth Senior Brother wakes up, there is still no gain, perhaps... it's time to go down the mountain to have a look around," Ning Qi thought in his heart. Currently, his power was almost invincible, and going down might yield unexpected gains.

...

Time passed.

Qin Yun had not yet awakened.

But this year's True Martial Peach Assembly arrived.

The Seeking Tao Institute was bustling as ever.

This year saw several new members: Luo Nianchu, Lu Mang, and Ouyang Yuxuan, as they were currently the only disciples of Luo Wentian, Xiong Shi, and Ye Qinghe respectively, naturally being brought along.

The three little fellows were somewhat apprehensive.

Watching the junior and senior uncles laugh and talk, they felt immense longing in their hearts.

Looking at the casually piled True Martial Peach Fruit, they couldn't help but swallow their saliva, realizing only now that the exotic fruit which could boost one's foundation was actually cultivated by that Ninth Master Uncle, leaving them utterly shocked and rendering them too scared to speak out of turn.

Fortunately, Zhuang Chen and Li Ling weren't actually much older than them, so the three were not completely bored. With the addition of a White Ape, the six little ones gathered as a group.
