Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

A faint shadow.

The figure that immediately mastered the Blade Intent of his Demon Blade began to overlap completely with the young Daoist in front of him.

Blade Demon's eyes were filled with astonishment.

After that, joy followed.

The stronger Ning Qi was, the greater the possibility of deducing the Martial Saint Technique.

However, he also understood that Ning Qi's unexpected revelation today likely indicated an extraordinary event.

"Taoist Friend Tianjian, has something happened? If you need my assistance, feel free to say the word," he said solemnly, as he had previously promised to guard True Martial Mountain for Ning Qi for ten years, and he would not break his word.

Ning Qi waved his hand and smiled:

"Indeed, there is a great matter, but it does not require your intervention. Let me tell you the whole story, and you can consider it after hearing it."

Blade Demon felt a jolt of spirit.

Ning Qi began to speak slowly.

He revealed everything he could about his encounters this time coming down the mountain and also spoke about his desire to deduce the Martial Saint Technique, needing Blade Demon to cooperate in the experiments. Of course, Ning Qi did not conceal the unforeseen changes in the power of heaven and earth, all potential risks included.

Treating me with sincerity, I shall reciprocate with sincerity.

Blade Demon listened, his eyes glowing brighter, ending in a burst of hearty laughter, full of vigor.

"The Ancient Saints return, and Spiritual Awakening! How fortunate am I, Blade Demon, to witness such a great era! Exciting! Exciting!"

His hair and beard flew in the wind, expressing his genuine excitement.

Afterwards.

He addressed Ning Qi with a solemn tone:

"Taoist Friend Tianjian, tell me how to cooperate with you!"

Ning Qi replied seriously:

"Have you really thought this through? Even if you choose not to, I will still share the Martial Saint Technique with you in the future, and once Spiritual Awakening is complete, it's possible that the Ancient Saints will also release the Martial Saint Technique."

This was not an attempt to deceive Blade Demon but rather a inference Ning Qi made from Taoist Baishan's words, suggesting that when the timing is right, various Martial Saint Techniques will resurface.

Blade Demon laughed and shook his head:

"If that's the case, I would miss the great opportunity of Spiritual Awakening!"

His eyes shone brightly.

"If I cannot seize this chance to soar to great heights, how can I find a place in this grand era, let alone compete with the Ancient Saints!"

"Moreover, Taoist Friend Tianjian, you mentioned the changes between heaven and earth have not been resolved even by the Ancient Saints. If I can assist you in solving it, that would also be a great achievement, perhaps even surpassing the Ancient Saints! Only such a Martial Saint Technique could be the strongest!"

Blade Demon's eyes were filled with trust; after learning that Ning Qi was merely a youth, his trust in Ning Qi grew, eager to witness the birth of these unprecedented achievements personally. To participate in them was a blessing.

Blade Demon had never lacked a streak of madness.

He understood that if Ning Qi wanted to kill him, he wouldn't have needed such a method; simply refraining from saving him earlier would have resulted in his spontaneous detonation and death.

Feeling that trust, Ning Qi smiled.

"Alright! Together, let's uncover the root of these changes in heaven and earth!"

He already had ideas in mind.

Now that Blade Demon nodded, it further strengthened his confidence.

"According to the words of Taoist Baishan, the power of heaven and earth lacks Spirit, making it impossible to reach the Martial Saint Realm. However, I don't need Blade Demon to reach the Martial Saint Realm right now; it's only about studying the consequences of absorbing the power of heaven and earth, and some Spirit is naturally sufficient."

"Where does this Spirit come from? Naturally, it's the Yu King Pearl!"

"I extract the Spirit from it and merge it with the power of heaven and earth, naturally transforming it into complete Spiritual Qi. It may not be enough to create a Martial Saint, but ample for deduction at least!"

Ning Qi had long since devised a plan in his mind.

Before having deep conversations with Taoist Baishan, he had no idea what Spirit was, nor any concept of it. But after careful study, he vaguely understood its nature. Previously, when the Yu King Pearl was gathering Spiritual Power, he sensed its uniqueness.

Later on the way back.

He tried multiple times, finally acquiring the ability to temporarily draw out a part of it from the Yu King Pearl.

Furthermore.

Ning Qi successfully fused the Spirit with the existing power of heaven and earth during experiments, achieving the optimal ratio and successfully obtaining his own blended Spiritual Qi.

Thinking of this.

Ning Qi couldn't help but smile.

Under the entire heavens, those who can achieve what he did must be few and far between; even among the Ancient Saints, most probably cannot accomplish this, as it requires an extremely strong understanding of Spiritual Qi and Spiritual Power, something at least Buddha Baoshu cannot do.

"Friend, focus your mind!" Ning Qi instructed.

The two sat cross-legged on the stone platform at the back of the mountain.

Blade Demon closed his eyes, emptying his mind, and soon heard Ning Qi's voice, containing profound mystique, encompassing the secrets of the Three Flowers of Heaven, Earth, and Human. It served as a foundation, expanding further, producing numerous variations through the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top.

Blade Demon listened, admiring with sincerity.

This was a supreme secret technique for absorbing the power of heaven and earth; he could clearly see traces of his previous experiences in this secret technique, yet it was vastly different, with much more profound content, which would likely remain beyond his grasp even if he pondered for a thousand years.

He realized the significant difference between himself and Ning Qi.

This, of course, was the Dharma Method that Ning Qi had realized by meditating on the condensation of Spiritual Power by the Yu King Pearl.

Time passed.

Moonlight poured down, showering their bodies.

Blade Demon spoke deeply:

"Friend, I have comprehended this method, please proceed!"

Though feeling some degree of nervousness was inevitable, he remained calm. He led a solitary life, without any attachments, driven by the singular desire to explore the greater pinnacle of the Martial Path. Now, having the fortune of being part of it, he simply felt joy.

Ning Qi nodded.

He was equally focused.

Blade Demon trusted him, so both emotionally and rationally, he was responsible for Blade Demon's safety.

"Rather slow down than be overly aggressive."

Ning Qi thought intently.

The Yu King Pearl instantly floated before the two of them.
