Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Ning Qi smiled faintly, comforting Luo Wentian:

"Senior brother, do not worry. When soldiers come, we'll counter them with generals, when water arrives, we'll handle it with earth."

Two or three months passed.

Ning Qi's strength had further progressed, and he was drawing even closer to the Celestial Human Realm.

Now, he could indeed claim invincibility in the Celestial Human Realm.

As long as the Blade Demon remained in the Celestial Human Realm, he was unafraid.

If the Blade Demon's actions were slower, and he reached the Celestial Human Realm before being challenged again, there would be even less suspense.

However.

He was somewhat anticipating meeting this Blade Demon, perhaps it could provide some enlightenment for himself.

Luo Wentian, hearing this.

The worry on his face gradually dissipated. He was somewhat amazed, gaining a further understanding of Ning Qi's strength. Since his ninth junior brother spoke this way, he must be confident.

"Since that's the case, I'm relieved. I will keep an eye on the Blade Demon's movements and inform you immediately if there is any news," Luo Wentian said.

Ning Qi nodded:

"Senior brother, how have the operations against the Demon Sect and Southern Border been progressing?"

Luo Wentian thought for a moment and said:

"Recently, our True Martial Sect disciples have started to retreat, most of them are cultivating on True Martial Mountain, while a few elite disciples are sent out to participate in the Imperial Court's operations. In a few months, there have indeed been some gains."

"Several strongholds in the Southern Border have been secretly destroyed, but with the assistance of the Demon Sect, the Southern Border has also become alert, and no trace of the Blood King Gu has been found."

"As for the Demon Sect, the Imperial Court followed the thread of the inner cores of exotic beasts, using channels such as black market auctions to trace back to a few Demon Sect strongholds. It's almost certain that the Demon Sect's achievement of the Martial Saint Technique is related to this, but the Demon Sect is very cautious. Most of the exotic beast inner cores might have already been transferred from the Hundred Thousand Mountains."

Ning Qi pondered.

The results could be considered neither good nor bad. To some extent, it delayed the progress of both forces, but there were no critical gains.

However.

He had already guessed.

The Demon Sect has been plotting for a thousand years and must be extremely cautious. Moreover, they have been entangled with the Great Yan for many years; it's not easy to deal with.

"The Demon Sect is difficult to handle; perhaps we can focus more on the Southern Border, and if possible, get hold of one or two Blood King Gu," Ning Qi said softly.

He thought.

If he could obtain another Blood King Gu, whether he could use it to sense the positions of other Blood King Gu, and trace them to capture the Southern Border in one strike.

Previously, he had obtained two Blood King Gu, but at that time, due to insufficient strength, he feared being confronted by the Southern Border, so he chose to refine them quickly. But now, he hopes to find the place where the Southern Border nurtures Blood Emperor Gu.

Reversal of offense and defense is nothing at all.

The best defense is a good offense.

But no matter how strong, if he couldn't find the enemy, it would be like punching in the air.

Luo Wentian nodded solemnly:

"Alright, I will inform Divine Feather Grand General and the others about this matter."

He didn't ask why Ning Qi needed it. Since Ning Qi mentioned it, it must be useful, and he chose to trust him.

Not disturbing Ning Qi further, Luo Wentian talked about the recent situation and then left.

He knew that everything the True Martial Sect was doing now was merely supporting Ning Qi; the real key lay with Ning Qi.

Ning Qi watched Luo Wentian's back and slightly shook his head, putting aside this small episode.

The matter of the Blade Demon was indeed lively, but even if it really came to True Martial Mountain, it wouldn't affect him.

The current urgent task was still to advance to the Celestial Human Realm as soon as possible.

Ning Qi operated the Celestial Being Unity Secret Technique, instantly resonating with the Power of Heaven and Earth, forming the Great Refining Spirit.

To this day.

The Celestial Being Unity Secret Technique was as simple as breathing and drinking water for Ning Qi. Since stepping into the Primordial Core Realm and starting to refine his spirit, he had discovered that the stronger his 'spirit' was, the more potent the Power of Heaven and Earth he could mobilize through the Celestial Being Unity Secret Technique. This is why Ning Qi's strength has been constantly growing.

Ning Qi refined his spirit while contemplating cultivation after reaching the Celestial Human Realm.

If he wanted to maintain his ability to surpass realms just like now after stepping into the Celestial Human Realm, it wouldn't be simple and would require considerable effort.

"The reason my strength can far surpass those in the same realm and easily defeat Celestial Beings is firstly because my foundation is excessively solid, whether it be the physical body or Gang Qi, reaching a level unattainable by ordinary people. The second key point lies in the Celestial Being Unity Secret Technique, which allows me to control part of the power of the Celestial Human Realm in advance, thereby partially leveling with it."

"But once I advance to the Celestial Human Realm, things will be different. The Celestial Being Unity Secret Technique will no longer be an advantage. I can only rely on my extremely robust foundation and powerful secret techniques."

"But then, can I, as someone in the Celestial Human Realm, contend with Martial Saints or even slay a Martial Saint?"

Ning Qi temporarily left a question mark in his mind.

Undoubtedly, after advancing to the Celestial Human Realm, with his foundation, the Power of Heaven and Earth he resonates with will be unimaginable, causing his battle strength to surge. Yet, whether this can bridge the gap between the Celestial Human Realm and the Martial Saint Realm remains uncertain.

"A Martial Saint refines the Power of Heaven and Earth for personal use, an absolute leap in the nature of power. To compensate for the qualitative gap, it must be filled with quantity."

"Therefore, my approach should be to allow myself to control as much of the Power of Heaven and Earth as possible. If I can surpass the Power of Heaven and Earth controlled even by Celestial Being Realm Perfection tenfold, a hundredfold, or even a thousandfold, why worry about not being able to overwhelm it with sheer quantity?"
