Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Black Sand Sea.

This is a coastal region of the Great Yan.

A small island shrouded in mist, a thousand feet high, suddenly appeared in the sea. It was first discovered by a group of fishermen who had been making their living in this area for years and were most familiar with the situation here, yet they never expected such a peculiar island to suddenly emerge.

Initially, they were somewhat fearful, but when an old man suggested that it might be an ancient relic, everyone became excited.

Exploration began.

However, they discovered that no matter what methods they used, they could not approach the misty area. As soon as they went a little deeper, they would inexplicably exit from another direction.

As time went by, some people lost their patience and eventually decided to sell the information in exchange for benefits.

Some martial sects discovered this place.

After a series of conflicts of interest, the news about the misty island finally spread out.

The Vast Sea Sword Sect, located in the coastal area, was the first to arrive.

Although he was defeated by the Blade Demon, he was also a top expert with Three Flowers Perfection. He ranked sixth on the Celestial Being List, and was not far from the Sword Path Ultimate Realm. Even though Ancient Saints had now returned, in the eyes of the majority of martial artists, he was still someone of great significance. Amidst the gaze of some others, the Vast Sea Sword Sect rushed into the misty area and eventually reached the small island. Everyone believed that the Vast Sea Sword Sect would be the first to seize the opportunity.

However.

To everyone's amazement, just half a two-hour period later, the Vast Sea Sword Sect retreated from the island, even seeming somewhat disheveled.

His gaze was somewhat complicated, appearing a mix of reluctance and wonder, indicating some intricacies within.

Someone couldn't help but boldly ask:

"May I ask, Lord of the Sword Sect, what exactly is inside?"

"True Martial Hall."

After leaving these few words, the Vast Sea Sword Sect hurried away.

The remaining people were all visibly shaken, feeling that this name exuded a certain aura.

Some sects with deep foundations began to search ancient texts overnight, wanting to know which ancient sect the True Martial Hall was associated with, to find a way to break through it. Soon, they found results.

"True Martial Sect!"

"According to ancient records, the True Martial Hall was the core inheritance hall of the ancient True Martial Sect. Could it be that ancient True Martial inheritance is contained within?"

"The ancient True Martial Sect was incredibly powerful, reportedly producing several remarkable Martial Saints, renowned across the world. Later, for unknown reasons, it disappeared in the long river of history, yet now it has reemerged!"

As soon as this news came out.

Everyone was in an uproar, spreading across the land.

Naturally.

People began to associate it with the current True Martial Sect.

"What is the relationship between the ancient True Martial Sect and the current True Martial Sect? Rumor has it that the former Sect Leader of the True Martial Sect, True Man Longshan, obtained ancient inheritance. Could it be the True Martial Hall's inheritance?"

Some people instinctively wanted to conceal this information.

But with so many people in the world, there were naturally some who wanted to use this opportunity to form a good relationship with the True Martial Sect. After all, compared to an elusive True Martial Hall, it was more important to establish a connection with the flourishing True Martial Sect. Anyone with foresight could see that with True Man Tianjian, True Man Longshan, and a group of promising talents, the True Martial Sect becoming a giant force was only a matter of time.

...

Seeking Tao Institute.

Ning Qi was contemplating how to solve the recent problem he encountered.

"The toxic substance in the spiritual qi is somewhat elusive; clearly, I've almost captured it these past two times, but it vanished immediately. This material is not tangible, yet not intangible, existing between the two."

He fiddled with a wisp of spiritual qi at his fingertips, lost in thought.

To find a filtering method, he naturally had to first understand the essence of this toxic substance. Otherwise, he wouldn't even know what it looked like, let alone how to filter it out.

While pondering.

Luo Wentian strode into the Seeking Tao Institute.

The first sentence made Ning Qi's spirit tremble:

"Jiu, the True Martial Hall you mentioned before has appeared!"

Ning Qi stood up and, along with Luo Wentian, instantly sped to the Bright Martial Pavilion. Sure enough, he saw Taoist Longshan already there.

Ning Qi and Taoist Longshan exchanged glances, both seeing a firm determination in each other's eyes.

Taoist Longshan slowly said:

"According to rumors in the world, that True Martial Hall should be the True Martial Underground Palace I encountered back then, or rather, the True Martial Underground Palace is part of that True Martial Hall!"

Ning Qi instantly recalled the scene when he had gone down the mountain in pursuit all those years ago.

Underground, it seemed as if some huge entity was leaving.

Now it appeared.

It was that small island.

Luo Wentian's eyes were grave:

"At this point, we must hurry over immediately; the True Martial Hall is the source of our True Martial Sect's heritage, giving us an innate closeness. If we can obtain the Martial Saint inheritance within, we will surely be able to rise prominently in the impending Spiritual Awakening!"

Now, as the Sect Leader, he was taking his identity more seriously, and everything he said and did was for the future of the True Martial Sect.

Taoist Longshan also nodded slowly.

Not obtaining the complete True Martial inheritance had always been his regret, and now that the opportunity had arisen, he naturally couldn't miss it. Of course, he wouldn't pretentiously claim that the True Martial Hall definitely belonged to the True Martial Sect and that others shouldn't interfere.

After all, it was ownerless, and it would depend on one's capabilities.

Both of their eyes turned to Ning Qi.

Ning Qi smiled slightly:

"Of course, we must go."

Previously, Taoist Baishan had told Ning Qi that he couldn't pass the Martial Saint Technique to Ning Qi ahead of time, but obtaining it from the True Martial inheritance was fine. Ning Qi just didn't expect the True Martial inheritance to appear in such a manner.

"If I can obtain the Martial Saint Technique, it will certainly be a reference for my upcoming deductions. Even if the Ancient Saints hadn't found a complete method to filter out the toxic substance, they surely had some insights."
