In front of True Martial Mountain.

Terrifying lightning bolts descended from the sky, with a purplish-black hue. Initially, the sword embryo had already formed, but after Ning Qi had invested all the flesh and blood of two Martial Saints, it transformed again. For this purpose, Ning himself personally used the Heavenly Thunder Technique to summon the lightning.

He had just stepped into the Martial Saint Realm, but from previously observing the heavenly thunder tempering the sword embryo, he had already gained some insight. Now, naturally, he took the Heavenly Thunder Technique a step further.

Boom!

During the tempering by heavenly thunder, the aura of the sword embryo became increasingly sharp.

Taoist Baishan felt a bit envious, as this kind of Spiritual Treasure not only surpassed the opportunity he gained this time, but even his True Profound Seal could not compare.

Meanwhile, the three Thunderstorm Martial Saints watched, both excited and apprehensive, fearing that Ning Qi would not be satisfied and grab them to fuse with the Spirit Sword too, in which case they would be truly helpless.

Time passed.

The heavenly thunder ceased.

The Spirit Sword finally took shape.

The treasures around it grew increasingly radiant, with sword light weaving through, tearing minute cracks in the surrounding void. Even just by relying on the power of the Spirit Sword, such feats were achievable, demonstrating its might.

Ning Qi looked satisfied.

When the radiant glow faded.

The Spirit Sword was fully revealed.

Everyone instinctively looked; the Spirit Sword was entirely silver-white, only three fingers in width, shrouded in a layer of hazy sword light, with sword energy intermittently flickering from the tip. Its might was so impressive that even the Blade Demon felt uneasy.

Ning Qi reached out and beckoned, and the Spirit Sword stopped before him. He sensed the uniqueness of the Spirit Sword, resonating with it, and his expression grew more pleased.

"An innate Five Elements Perfection Spiritual Treasure, Ning, you're truly fortunate!" Taoist Baishan couldn't help but exclaim.

Martial Saint Secret Treasures naturally also have levels of classification.

Generally, they are classified according to the variety and amount of Five Elements Qi contained within.

For example, the Yu King Pearl and Great Sun Compass each only contain one type of Five Elements Qi.

Of course.

At their peak, these two Secret Treasures were more than this, but as time passed, they only retain the initial Spiritual Treasure source of the Five Elements Qi.

His True Profound Seal, although it also achieved Five Elements Perfection postnatally, reached its limit, whereas this Spirit Sword boasts innate Five Elements Perfection, able to continue growing, incomparable.

Furthermore.

Back then, he expended endless effort to forge the True Profound Seal, yet Ning Qi achieved it effortlessly.

Truly vexing when compared.

Ning Qi chuckled lightly.

With just simple attempts, he already knew that this Spirit Sword possessed extraordinary might. Its body alone had the sharpness to tear through the void, and when paired with his Innate Divine Sword Qi, could further strengthen it. Moreover, the Five Elements source within the Spirit Sword could provide him inspiration.

Additionally, the Spirit Sword harbored mysteries, to be explored slowly afterwards.

"Congratulations."

Everyone gathered around sincerely offering their congratulations, genuinely delighted for Ning Qi acquiring such a powerful Spirit Sword.

"Does this Spirit Sword have a name yet, Jiu, have you decided?" Luo Wentian asked with a smile.

Ning Qi didn't think for long:

"Since it was a fortuitous chance descending upon True Martial Mountain, let it be named True Martial Sword."

Although he felt the Spirit Sword could continue to grow, he didn't know how long it would stay with him, and perhaps in the future, it might remain with the True Martial Sect, becoming part of its heritage.

Everyone smiled.

In this way, the spiritual awakening ushered a perfect ending to True Martial Mountain. Now remained some territorial issues requiring handling, since the world expanded over tenfold, a domain originally covering only two prefectures quickly compared to an entire original province, plenty of matters needed closing.

"Congratulations Heavenly Sword Martial Saint on acquiring this Spirit Sword, may your martial journey ascend to the heavens!" Three ill-timed voices interrupted.

This side was harmonious.

The three Thunderstorm Martial Saints were however restless.

Neither staying nor leaving felt right.

In the end, they decided to steel themselves and approach; otherwise, leaving like that would completely offend a powerful Martial Saint.

The three forced smiles, attempting to appease as they congratulated.

Everyone looked, expressions odd.

The previously imposing Ancient Saints now in such a posture drew attention, but thinking back to Ning Qi's astonishing display earlier did invite understanding.

Ning Qi said nothing, merely regarding the three calmly.

Although they hadn't acted, ultimately they were merely deterred. Given a chance, they likely wouldn't have shown mercy, constituting 'attempted robbery,' and thus he didn't offer warmth. Were it not for concerns over Heaven-Slaying Martial Saint, Ning Qi might have dealt with them.

After contemplation, he decided against it.

Red Sun Martial Saint and Martial Saint Ziyue had actively attacked, retaliating and slaying them had justification, but to further dispatch these three would risk thoroughly offending Heaven-Slaying Martial Saint.

The three Thunderstorm Martial Saints felt tense, aware that without presenting an attitude, today's events might be difficult to pass.

"This time it was our fault, please forgive us, Heavenly Sword Martial Saint. Next time, we will prepare generous gifts and come to apologize!"

All three spoke earnestly, ready for significant compensation.

They closely watched Ning Qi.

Finally.

Ning Qi spoke:

"Enough, you may leave."

The three felt as if pardoned, backs drenched in sweat, dealing with such a fierce young Taoist, slaying Fourth Realm Martial Saints as chickens and easily dispatching Fifth Realm Martial Saints; this strength must be among the few able to equalize worldwide.

"Thank you! Thank you!"

The trio prepared to depart eagerly, wishing for wings.

Taoist Baishan's cheerful voice rang out:

"The three should see clearly, this matter involved Red Sun Martial Saint and Martial Saint Ziyue coming to seize treasures and slaughter True Martial Mountain, forcing Taoist Friend Tianjian to fight back and slay the two."
