Chapter 188 Martial Saint Turtle
The closer they got to it,
the more everyone felt that the True Martial Hall before their eyes was incomparably magnificent, infinitely towering, bringing about a sense of insignificance, and a feeling of awe rose in their hearts.
As if in response to them, the originally tightly-closed hall doors opened with a rumbling sound.
Gentle light poured out, engulfing everyone; even Ning Qi's heart instinctively skipped a beat, and the Yu King Pearl was already in an activated state.
The group stepped in slowly.
Once the light completely receded, everything before their eyes emerged, and the scene left everyone stunned. The vast hall was almost empty, with only three towering doors emanating different glows, and their auras were distinct.
Almost immediately, everyone reacted.
"This bronze door corresponds to martial artists below the Celestial Human Realm, this silver door corresponds to Celestial Human Realm martial artists, then doesn't this gold door correspond to... above Celestial Human Realm?"
Everyone was mentally shaken, their breaths somewhat stifled.
Though rumors outside had always suggested that the True Martial Hall housed a Martial Saint's inheritance, these were half-truths. Only upon arriving here did they truly understand the magnitude of the place.
"Even Martial Saints must undergo trials here; what is the origin of this True Martial Hall anyway?"
Ning Qi felt that this True Martial inheritance was far from simple.
Initially, from what Taoist Baishan had said, he thought this True Martial inheritance was founded by a powerful Ancient Saint, but what he saw and heard now made him realize it might not be so.
The group paused in front of the three doors.
Ye Qinghe stepped forward:
"Master, should I give it a try first?"
As she was the highest-ranking person besides Taoist Longshan, it was her responsibility to take the lead; since the road ahead was unknown, probing it was a good idea.
Taoist Longshan nodded slowly.
Under the expectant gazes of everyone, Ye Qinghe walked toward the bronze door.
Suddenly.
A strong light flashed, startling everyone, only to see Ye Qinghe being directly sucked in, disappearing completely.
Taoist Longshan said in a deep voice:
"Quickly go in together; if any situation arises, you can support each other."
He Yan and others promptly affirmed, then each disciple rushed into the bronze door without hesitation.
Instantly, only Ning Qi and Taoist Longshan remained in the hall.
"Master, let's go together," Ning Qi smiled.
Taoist Longshan's eyes showed expectation, and the two walked side by side, then were together sucked into the silver door.
The previously bustling True Martial Hall fell quiet once more, with only the three doors standing silently, a faint, lingering sigh echoing before disappearing.
...
Taoist Longshan opened his eyes again to find Ning Qi no longer by his side.
"It seems that once you enter and accept the trials, you'll be separated." He was somewhat helpless, but given that it's an inheritance, there shouldn't be any danger, especially since the True Martial Sect shares a connection with the True Martial Hall. At least there's no need to overly worry about the disciples' safety.
Putting aside his concerns, he began to survey his surroundings.
This was a quiet chamber.
Empty, with only a single bookshelf, and on the shelf, there were just two items: a book and an hourglass, with all the sand gathered in the lower part.
Directly opposite him.
Was another door.
Taoist Longshan attempted to push it, but it wouldn't budge. He tried communicating with the Power of Heaven and Earth, but even using the power of a Celestial Being, the door remained as stable as Mount Tai, causing him to gain insight.
"It seems that only by passing the test here can I leave."
He took a deep breath and slowly approached the bookshelf.
The three characters 'Yin Yang Fist' on the book immediately caught his eye, and as he flipped it open, amazement rose in his eyes; it turned out to be a Celestial martial arts manual, enough to incite life-and-death struggles among countless martial artists in the Martial Realm.
Meanwhile.
The hourglass also showed movement. As Taoist Longshan picked up the Yin Yang Fist manual, the sand that had settled in the bottom half began to rise and reverse into the top half.
Taoist Longshan suddenly understood.
"To pass the test, I must comprehend this Yin Yang Fist to a certain extent before the hourglass runs out, only then will the door open!" His eagerness surged.
Having once obtained the True Martial inheritance and founded the True Martial Sect, Taoist Longshan naturally had no lack of talent and insight.
He meticulously studied the fist manual, occasionally practicing a move or two, with his eyes gradually turning serious.
"The Yin Yang Fist contains the Path of Yin and Yang, a profound Celestial martial arts. If I had ample time, I could naturally comprehend it, but now, at most, I have just one two-hour period... it's rather challenging." He exhaled lightly, feeling somewhat defiant, not believing he couldn't even pass the first stage.
Focused all his efforts to comprehend.
He felt hopeful.
Meanwhile.
In another quiet chamber.
Ning Qi also opened the Yin Yang Fist manual.
He raised an eyebrow, glanced at the running hourglass, then flipped through the fist manual. After just a dozen breaths, he stood before the door.
Clenched his fist, struck out.
In one seamless motion.
The Power of Heaven and Earth gathered, transforming into the energies of yin and yang, two fist seals, one yin and one yang, each with mysteries, then merged into one, the potency skyrocketing.
With a buzzing sound, the once impregnable door shattered and scattered.
For Ning Qi, what would stump countless geniuses about this Celestial martial arts was astoundingly simple. His extraordinary comprehension was one aspect, and his profound foundation was another. With the myriad paths as his goal, the Path of Yin and Yang was naturally included, and his expertise was not low. Now comprehending this Yin Yang Fist was like a dimensional reduction attack, accomplished with casual ease.
