Chapter 146: Blade Demon and Sword King, The Great Terror in the Nether_3
The Sun Chasing Sword King's eyes glinted: "Good, I will come to watch the battle then."
The exchange between the two powerful figures sent waves of shock in the hearts of all present, as the previous mystery was finally unraveled. The Blade Demon had indeed visited the True Martial Mountain first, and with the Sun Chasing Sword King's announcement to witness the battle, it heightened the anticipation to the extreme.
The Blade Demon nodded.
And stepped away into the air.
The words the Sun Chasing Sword King intended to say were swallowed back.
Originally, he wanted to ask if there was an even stronger strike from the Blade Demon, as he sensed something unfulfilled in the previous Heavenly Demon Blade, but ultimately he did not voice it. Despite a sense of mutual admiration between them, such matters ultimately pertain to personal secrets.
Furthermore.
If there was a stronger stroke, perhaps it would soon be seen.
From the Blade Demon's words earlier, it wasn't hard to detect that even after witnessing his strongest sword, the Blade Demon still considered True Man Tianjian to be stronger than himself.
He wasn't upset by this; he was merely more curious about the True Man Tianjian whom he had never met.
As he watched the Blade Demon leave.
The events of today quickly spread across the world like a whirlwind.
The Sun Chasing Sword King was defeated, and the Blade Demon won again!
At this moment.
The Blade Demon's power was unparalleled, and some even thought that the Flame Martial Grand General and the Wind-listening Old Man might not be able to best him.
The more the Blade Demon fought, the stronger he became, with only one opponent remaining.
True Man Tianjian.
This equally extraordinary figure who emerged out of nowhere, if his previous battle achievements were dazzling, they paled in comparison to the Blade Demon's now. The Blade Demon had challenged nearly half of the Celestial Being List, including several of the top ten fighters.
This final battle.
Was immensely anticipated.
Countless people flocked to True Martial Mountain, with even the once-flaming Imperial Court, Demon Sect, and Southern Border forces casting their gaze there. This was almost the strongest battle beneath the Martial Saint level. Although such figures did not have the final say like a Martial Saint, they still held significant influence.
In view of the three major powers, each had only two or three such strong figures.
...
Amidst this frenzy.
The disciples of the True Martial Sect were overwhelmed with stress, just coping with the martial artists flooding into True Martial City every day consumed much energy, but their hearts swelled with pride because all these people came for True Man Tianjian. This was their honor.
All external affairs were entrusted to Luo Wentian.
While Ning Qi remained unruffled.
He only needed to consider one thing, how much strength to use to defeat the Blade Demon.
"The situation with the Great Yan Martial Saint is unclear, it's best not to be too conspicuous, a victory is needed, but not a crushing one, just showcasing the Sword Intent Realm will suffice." The content on the silver page obtained from Wu Jianghe made Ning Qi somewhat wary.
The soon-to-emerge Martial Saints of the Demon Sect and Southern Border were certainly enemies, but the Great Yan Martial Saint might not be any better. If he was indeed the one who eliminated the Martial Saint Technique from the world, then approaching too much would be giving oneself away.
If his nearing Martial Saint combat power was prematurely exposed, it would bring unnecessary trouble.
Ning Qi felt that it was still most appropriate to use his power before breaking through to the Celestial Human Realm.
He slightly shook his head, casting off distractions, he did not continue to waste his mind on this issue but instead thought about his own cultivation.
After entering the Celestial Human Realm.
To continue growing, naturally, one needs to condense the Three Flowers of Essence, Qi, and Spirit.
"To condense the Three Flowers of Essence, Qi, and Spirit means refining the flesh to condense the Flower of Essence, refining Gang Qi to condense the Flower of Qi, and refining Divine Intent to condense the Divine Flower."
"How to refine them? By resonating with the Power of Heaven and Earth, similarly to my previously created Heaven and Earth Grinding Wheel Quenching Gang Technique and Refining Spirit Technique, only not as exquisite as before."
"But cultivating all three flowers at once is no easy feat. That's precisely why many people stick to a single realm. Even so, it takes ten to several dozens of years to make some progress. I have the foundation of the Heaven and Earth Grinding Wheel Secret Technique, so my progress is naturally incomparable to ordinary people, but it is still very slow."
"With this trend, when can I achieve Three Flowers Perfection?"
Ning Qi slightly frowned.
In recent times, besides sublimating the Unity of Heaven and Man Secret Technique, he was trying to cultivate in the Celestial Human Realm. He improved the Heaven and Earth Grinding Wheel Technique, enabling him to simultaneously refine Essence, Qi, and Spirit, but the progress remained sluggish.
If this continues.
It might take seven or eight years to reach Celestial Being Perfection.
This speed is naturally dozens of times faster compared to others, but for Ning Qi, it is still too slow. The crisis in the Southern Border and Demon Sect is still unresolved, and he needs to improve his strength as much as possible in a short time.
"Previously in the Gang Essence Realm, my Heaven and Earth Grinding Wheel Quenching Gang Technique and Refining Spirit Technique were able to progress by leaps and bounds because I had access to a higher level of power in advance. Now using the Power of Heaven and Earth to refine the three flowers naturally doesn't have the same effect."
"In other words, do I need a stronger 'drive'?"
Ning Qi's mind filled with flashes of Spiritual Light and fleeting thoughts, and after stepping into the Celestial Human Realm, his insight had improved further, and in a blink, he already had a target.
"Heavenly Thunder Technique!"
"Previously, by comprehending the Heavenly Thunder Blade, I discovered the Heavenly Thunder Technique, which can channel the heavenly thunder for my use. The power of the heavenly thunder is strong and domineering; if I can fully control it to refine the Essence, Qi, and Spirit, the effect will be outstanding. But ordinary heavenly thunder may not exceed too much in effect, to be efficient, I have to go to High Heaven!"
Ning Qi exhaled a soft breath.
"The Thunderous Forbidden Zone in High Heaven is very terrifying, but if only drawing thunder from the edges without venturing inside, it should be fine, after all, my current strength is far greater than before."
The more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed to Ning Qi.
He made up his mind.
After the Unity of Heaven and Man Secret Technique sublimates and his strength advances further, he will attempt to channel the heavenly thunder to refine Essence, Qi, and Spirit.
Thinking this, he inexplicably felt relieved.
Lately, as he stepped into the Celestial Human Realm, the more he perceived the Power of Heaven and Earth, the more he sensed a great unnameable terror hidden within. This situation has never been recorded in any other Celestial Human Realm-related scriptures, nor was it felt before when using the Unity of Heaven and Man Secret Technique to control the Power of Heaven and Earth.
Ning Qi did not know whether it was because his perception was too keen or because his current control over the Power of Heaven and Earth greatly exceeded that of other Celestial Human Realms, which allowed him to detect it.
But he knew that it was definitely not an illusion.
"If those in the Celestial Human Realm cannot perceive it, then the Martial Saints should be able to. Is there some connection between this great hidden terror and the Martial Saint Realm?"
Ning Qi couldn't discern the answer.
But he thought he must grow powerful quickly.
