Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Too fierce!

The situation changed too quickly.

In just a moment, only the Primordial Core Realm Blademan was left fighting alone, but he was also being crushed by Luo Wentian. Strikes of thunder pierced through the void and fell on him, his whole body already starting to numb, while his Blade Gang couldn't break through Luo Wentian's thunder light.

This was simply unwinnable.

And at this moment, witnessing the sudden appearance of the sixteen-foot White Ape made him even more alarmed.

He gritted his teeth, making a desperate move, with his blade like a flying dragon breaking through the air, then forcibly retreated using his left arm to bear a Thunder Light Palm as a cost. This was a risky move, and if unsuccessful, he would end up gravely injured, falling into a catastrophic situation.

The Blademan coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Retreating rapidly.

Luo Wentian was initially startled, his lack of combat experience between Gang Essence Realm warriors was evident, but he quickly calmed down, showing an approving smile in his eyes.

In the distance stood the waiting White Ape.

In its eyes gleamed a golden light, enough to see the trajectory of power movements, easily discerning the Primordial Core Blademan's intentions.

Waiting patiently.

The Giant Ape kicked its leg, as if to shatter mountains, with a momentum of wind and thunder, stomping on the middle-aged Blademan. Even as a Primordial Core Realm adept, he couldn't withstand such immense force, flying back even faster.

Luo Wentian delivered a palm strike, thunder light flooded the sky, deciding the outcome.

The Primordial Core Blademan spat blood continuously, nearly dying.

Xiong Shi personally captured him.

In a blink of an eye, the turmoil subsided.

Inside the Bright Martial Pavilion.

Ning Qi and Taoist Longshan both had smiles on their faces.

The True Martial disciples handled the situation with composure, completely controlling the spies, leaving them quite satisfied.

Taoist Longshan exclaimed:

"Tiansheng, this young monkey has unknowingly grown so strong?"

Previously, he was only vaguely aware, but did not know Yuan Tiancheng's limits had reached such a level, almost becoming the third strongest in the True Martial Sect!

Ning Qi smiled and said:

"Tiansheng has a strong bloodline, coupled with both perseverance and insight, with a resolute Dao heart. It's not surprising he possesses such strength, as he has rapidly awakened his bloodline and also practices Martial Path."

Taoist Longshan was surprised:

"Martial Path?"

Earlier, although Yuan Tiancheng did not display much, he could vaguely perceive something peculiar.

Ning Qi nodded:

"I incorporated the Martial Path of the Human Race to create the Ape King Stance, Ape King Strength, and Ape King True Gang for him, which successfully awakened his bloodline. However, the more I observe, the more I realize that the path of exotic beasts awakening their bloodlines may ultimately converge with Martial Path, not as mystical as previously imagined."

Taoist Longshan's eyes widened with amazement.

Creating a Martial Path for an exotic beast, such a groundbreaking thing was stated so nonchalantly by his little apprentice.

But this was indeed Ning Qi's thought.

Currently, in the composition of the White Ape's strength, its bloodline power accounts for much. Otherwise, relying solely on its Inner Essence Realm level wouldn't suffice to achieve such strength. Of course, Ning Qi's teachings in various martial arts were also crucial, with the secret technique of the Ape King's true form, in some ways, being akin to the White Ape's bloodline abilities.

But he also discovered that the Martial Path has two major roles for exotic beasts: providing ordinary-bloodline beasts a chance for growth and breakthrough, and aiding in exotic beasts' bloodline awakening.

Taoist Longshan could only sigh with emotion.

Silently, his little apprentice accomplished so much.

He then sensed carefully and asked:

"Jiu, have you sensed any Celestial Being's involvement?"

Ning Qi shook his head slightly:

"Not yet. If a Celestial Being were to appear, the True Martial Sword Stele would sense it."

After advancing to the Primordial Core Realm, he reinforced the Sword Intent within the True Martial Sword Stele, which could be used for comprehension and, at critical moments, could also face enemies.

"It's normal they haven't appeared. Southern Border people are always cautious. Previously, the woman of the Primordial Core Realm who attacked late at night was the same. These spies are probably an attempt, and if successful, could probe the sect's situation. If not, they'd be abandoned."

Taoist Longshan nodded in agreement.

His gaze gradually became stern:

"Several forces have placed spies within our True Martial Sect. It's partly due to the visible success, but the Southern Border Alliance may indeed suspect us because of prior incidents."

"Later, we must remind disciples to be cautious when training outside, lest they fall into targeted schemes."

Ning Qi nodded slightly.

He pondered on how to respond.

Currently, it's not possible to eliminate the Demon Sect and the Southern Border Alliance, so the only thing that can be done is to strengthen the disciples' abilities as much as possible.

...

In True Martial City.

In a guest room of an inn.

Qin Yun and the Southern Border Saintess were quietly sipping tea, surrounded by the occasional heated conversations about the True Martial examination.

"Heaven-Ascending Ladder, Mechanical Being Array, Heart Inquiry Platform?" The Southern Border Saintess listened to the news, her eyes flickering.

The first two had already been detailed.

Their miraculous nature surprised her, as this True Martial Sect, established less than a few decades ago, continuously introduced such incredible things.

"Saint Heir Qin, have you heard of these before in the True Martial Sect?" she asked curiously.

Qin Yun shook his head silently.

He had left the True Martial Sect just four or five years ago, yet the changes now were greater than in the over twenty years he had been there, leaving him with mixed feelings.

He didn't know where this change originated.

However.

The Southern Border Saintess's words clearly made him uncomfortable, and he replied coldly:

"Saintess, if you're interested in Qin, you might be more concerned with the upcoming Heart Inquiry Platform. My intuition tells me it's going to be a major issue."

Judging by the timing, those pieces had likely already begun their Heart Inquiry Platform tests.
