Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Ye Qinghe raised her eyebrows, grabbed Jiang Baishan's ear, and asked who was the bachelor, causing Jiang Baishan to quickly beg for mercy.

Everyone laughed even more happily.

In the end.

Luo Wentian waved his hand with a smile and then asked seriously:

"Fifth brother, since you've established your relationship with Miss Lin, why not take this opportunity to introduce her to our master and us? We can get to know your future wife better. Being so close to home, you should have brought her back; otherwise, the girl might think you have other intentions."

"As your senior brother, I must remind you, once you've chosen your Dao companion, you must be devoted and not abandon her midway!"

His tone became serious towards the end.

Knowing the story of Jiang Baishan's acquaintance with Miss Lin Ruhua, he recalled that initially, the girl almost chopped off his hand, yet they turned out to be a pair of rivals.

Jiang Baishan hurriedly protested:

"I absolutely don't have other intentions, but Ruhua may still have some concerns. I'll try to persuade her, and next year I'll bring her back to participate in the True Martial Peach Assembly!"

He vaguely sensed that Lin Ruhua's identity was not simple, but he believed as long as they loved each other, they could overcome any difficulty.

Everyone immediately gave him a thumbs up.

Ning Qi also smiled and encouraged: "Fifth Brother, keep it up."

They watched Jiang Baishan descend the mountain.

Afterward, several of their fellow apprentices went down the mountain for training, while others remained on the mountain for cultivation.

Ning Qi's Seeking Tao Institute returned to tranquility.

During the White Ape's cultivation, it often hung out with Zhuang Chen and Li Ling. If Ye Qinghe was around, they formed a trio with the ape, and they dominated True Martial Mountain and nearby areas, causing trouble for the nearby exotic beasts. The Iron-Armed Ape, for instance, was often targeted by the White Ape and its companions to get even for the past bullying.

Ning Qi was happy with this.

He quietly cultivated alone, finding enjoyment in solitude.

Currently, he had swallowed his fifth Blood Jade Pill, further improving his strength, and occasionally felt an indescribable tremor from the Jade Liquid Sea.

He was about to turn ten years old.

At this pace, advancing to the Primordial Core Realm next spring was likely inevitable.

Cultivating Breaking Realm required persistent effort, which he had expected, so Ning Qi wasn't worried.

Instead, he was eagerly awaiting Town North King's response; a few days ago, Taoist Longshan had someone send a letter.

…

Ning Qi was contemplating the Heavenly Thunder Blade.

Instead of receiving Town North King's reply, Thunder Shock Blade Venerate unexpectedly sent the Thunder Shock Secret Record first.

As an elite on the Celestial Being List, Thunder Shock Blade Venerate's Secret Record was indeed valuable, providing Ning Qi substantial insights. He secretly compared it to the Dragon Tiger Eagle Secret Record, feeling the new record was superior.

Ning Qi integrated it with the Heavenly Thunder Blade for comprehension.

Through these days of effort, he gained numerous insights, making noticeable progress on the Path of Thunderous. His Gang Qi, when converted to thunderous attributes, was extremely forceful and fierce, yet he hadn't found the key to deciphering the Heavenly Thunder Blade's secret of channeling heavenly thunder.

He hadn't yet encountered sufficiently intense thunderstorms.

Ning Qi decided to test his luck at High Heaven.

Late at night.

With no one noticing, Ning Qi suppressed his aura, distanced himself from the True Martial Sect, and then went skyward.

Typically, Celestial Human Realm experts didn't fly particularly high.

But now.

Ning Qi was attempting to break through upward.

Initially, it was manageable, but the higher he went, the greater the pressure, rapidly consuming his Gang Qi, as if being suppressed by a certain will.

Ning Qi's heart went cold.

In this world, it's commonly rumored that the heavens are round and the earth square.

He originally thought perhaps the people of this world hadn't grasped the truth.

After all, he had come from Blue Star in a previous life, knowing the concept of planets and the universe.

But now it seemed.

Perhaps he was too shallow; this world indeed has extraordinarily powerful martial artists, some perceptions might not be wrong.

He cleared his mind and focused upward, increasingly surrounded by emptiness, only the biting Gang wind.

Unknown how long had passed.

The Heavenly Thunder Blade on his back suddenly reacted, emitting a strong purple aura.

His attention snapped to it, and his heart skipped.

Above High Heaven, a glaring lightning bolt descended like a Thunder Dragon, charging towards him, its might incredibly terrifying, comparable to Thunder Shock Blade Venerate's strike.

Ning Qi's body shimmered with green light as the Cyan Profound Body Protection Technique instinctively activated to block this thunderous strike.

Leveraging the thunder's glow, Ning Qi looked around, feeling a bit shocked.

Above him, one terrifying lightning after another swirled within, resembling a deadly domain forbidding any life forms to traverse.

"The rumors are true, High Heaven indeed has a Thunderous Forbidden Zone!"

Before Ning Qi could react, an even more terrifying lightning surged, purple mixed with black, several times stronger than the previous one. Ning Qi was aghast and fully executed the Cyan Profound Body Protection Technique, barely defending against this lightning.

Without any hesitations.

Ning Qi burst into speed, diving downward.

The lightning above High Heaven was inherently chaotic; if he continued to linger, while the Heavenly Thunder Blade attracted even more terrifying thunders, he might meet his end.

"This realm is definitely not within my reach now!"

Once Ning Qi no longer perceived the thunderous fluctuations, he breathed a sigh of relief, the invisible sense of danger dissipating entirely.

He showed a hint of a bitter smile.

Perhaps due to his smooth sailing until now, coupled with easily overwhelming Thunder Shock Blade Venerate, he became somewhat 'complacent.' Now, he completely sobered up, realizing he still needed to grow, some places weren't within his reach yet.

Ning Qi gazed deeply at High Heaven.

Intuitively, it contained significant secrets, yet the Thunderous Forbidden Zone was too terrifying; he suspected even Martial Saints might not penetrate it.
