Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

"The first is that it can only occur within the Martial Realm, the second is that with each reincarnation, upon awakening the memories of the previous life, the two have actually blended. After multiple reincarnations, it's uncertain if one is still the original person. The current Ancient Saints each carry their former titles, but they may not necessarily be those same people."

He sighed somewhat.

Ning Qi was enlightened; the possession by a Primordial Spirit Realm True Monarch is a complete possession, where the consciousness of the guest does not influence the host. Comparatively, the Primordial Spirit Realm is superior. Ning Qi certainly wouldn't want to reincarnate, in the end uncertain about whether he still remained himself, as that would have no meaning.

"Apart from the Reincarnation Technique, there are many other Dharma Methods to avoid the world, such as freezing oneself or through bloodline inheritance."

At this point.

The old Profound Turtle's gaze paused slightly:

"The Bloodline Inheritance Method has high requirements and contains different branches. The two most representative figures are the Heaven-Slaying Martial Saint and Li Yanwu."

Ning Qi's spirits lifted; this involves two current half-step Divine Power Realm figures, and then he heard the old Profound Turtle continue:

"The Heaven-Slaying Martial Saint is a tragic figure. At his peak, he was recognized as the strongest in the Martial Realm, but he wasn't willing to reincarnate. At that time, after the Saints set the plan, a supervisor was needed, so this responsibility fell to the Heaven-Slaying Martial Saint."

"The current Heaven-Slaying Martial Saint is only inheriting the title and is not the original Heaven-Slaying Martial Saint. Back then, he took the route of bloodline inheritance, choosing to pass on his power through his bloodline, while letting go of his consciousness."

Ning Qi furrowed his brows and said:

"So, it's passing on only the power, and not the memory?"

The old Profound Turtle nodded:

"That's right. Generation after generation, the Heaven-Slaying Martial Saints are like this. Earlier, I said the Heaven-Slaying Martial Saint is a tragic figure; more precisely, the Heaven-Slaying lineage is all tragic."

"How could there not be any side effects when passing down such powerful forces under the Life Poison? The Heaven-Slaying lineage is passed down singly through generations. They may walk the earth as Martial Saints, but the price is they overcome both heaven and earth, and themselves. Every Heaven-Slaying descendant is destined to lose their mother at birth, is naturally blind, and lives a solitary existence."

His eyes held respect.

The successful implementation of the Saints' agreement was due much to the Heaven-Slaying lineage, as many complications were smoothed over by them.

Ning Qi also sighed, recognizing the substantial sacrifices this lineage has made for the fate of the Martial Realm.

"And apart from the Bloodline Inheritance Method of the Heaven-Slaying lineage is Li Yanwu, who, in contrast to the Heaven-Slaying Martial Saint only passing power and not memory, chooses to retain self-awareness, believing it's the most useful way."

"As for his method, it's about selecting the most compatible descendants in each generation and transferring all his cultivation and consciousness, changing bodies to endure the Life Poison corrosion. He also carries Martial Saint power and later founded the Great Yan dynasty."

"His original name wasn't this one; it's estimated that this particular body change was the Flame Martial Grand General Li Yanwu of the Great Yan dynasty. Due to some thoughts, he altered his name to Li Yanwu."

The old Profound Turtle narrated these secrets of the Martial Realm, known to very few.

Ning Qi was somewhat astonished.

But he did not comment on whether the choices of the Heaven-Slaying Martial Saint or Flame Martial Grand General were right or wrong.

These individuals are outstanding talents. If able to ascend to the Spirit Realm, they'd surely become powerful individuals, especially now, as their potentials are being infinitely amplified. If able to endure till the end, becoming a giant in the future is certainly possible.

The old Profound Turtle's gaze was profound, seemingly recalling past events, and he sighed:

"That era was indeed tumultuous and magnificent, with the emergence of each prodigy, and everyone was united in their endeavors for the future of the Martial Realm. Yet after so much time, it's uncertain how many can retain their original intentions."

Ning Qi's heart shuddered:

"You mean..."

"Indeed, there might be individuals who have already betrayed, wishing to sell out the Martial Realm for a chance at survival. Therefore... Hall Master, you must act discreetly in the future, even if possessing absolute strength, it's best not to reveal it." The old Profound Turtle's expression was earnest; after much preamble, he finally expressed his true concern.

Ning Qi nodded solemnly:

"I understand."

He recalled the Gu God incident, someone clearly using the Gu God as an experiment, trying something, which also had elements of the Bloodline Inheritance Method.

Names inevitably surfaced in Ning Qi's mind: Flame Martial Grand General and Heaven-Slaying Martial Saint.

He agreed with the old Profound Turtle.

When reaching the Fifth Realm Martial Saint level, he should not rashly expose himself; quietly accumulating strength is crucial.

Through their conversation, Ning Qi thoroughly understood the current situation of the Martial Realm.

He also clearly set his goals.

Achieve breakthrough to the Fifth Realm soon!

Perfect the "The World is Me" Dharma Method, and ideally, cross the Thunderous Forbidden Zone before the Martial Saint Assembly convenes.

Especially after knowing there might be an insider in the Martial Realm, he felt a growing urgency.

"Fortunately, with the True Martial Hall now in hand, my speed in breaking through to the Fifth Realm Martial Saint will greatly increase, eliminating the need to venture to the High Heaven. The abilities of True Martial Hall are enough to provide powerful forces for spiritual power training, and also offer tenfold time acceleration."

With this realization.

Ning Qi couldn't help but want to start cultivating immediately.

"Profound Turtle Senior, would you accompany me back to True Martial Mountain?"

The old Profound Turtle laughed:

"Naturally, I will follow the Hall Master; wherever the Hall Master is, there I will be."

Ning Qi smiled.

He didn't tarry.

He soared upward.

At this moment, the massive Profound Turtle was still floating above the ocean, resembling a floating island, while above it, white mist billowed, revealing a glimpse of the Immortal Palace.
