CHAPTER 193: CHAPTER 130: 300 SAPLINGS, A BIG RACKET_2

This time, the True Martial Sect has truly shown extraordinary depth.

The Heaven-Ascending Ladder, the Mechanical Being, the Heart Inquiry Platform, each of them could serve as a cornerstone for any sect, yet the True Martial Sect brought out three in quick succession.

What left everyone truly stunned was that so many spies from various factions surfaced during the True Martial Sect’s recruitment.

Demon Sect!

Southern Border!

Inquiring Sword Pavilion!

Formless Sect!

...

Each of these forces carries significant weight, especially the Demon Sect and Southern Border, which are shrouded in mystery. No one expected them all to attempt to plant spies into the True Martial Sect, leading to widespread speculation.

However, the rest of the True Martial Sect also bolstered its reputation with their performance.

The True Martial Sect was originally famous worldwide, primarily backed by True Man Tianjian and Taoist Longshan. The general evaluation in the Martial Realm was that the True Martial Sect’s top-tier combat strength was formidable, but its middle tier was lacking.

But this time, Luo Wentian and Xiong Shi’s actions shattered everyone’s perceptions.

"That Sect Leader Luo is no ordinary man. It seems the True Martial Sect has a secret technique that can greatly enhance the sect leader’s power in a short period. This may be the unparalleled secret technique within the True Martial heritage!"

"And then there’s that White Ape, which is said to still be quite young but can already punch into the Jade Liquid Realm and kick through the Primordial Core Realm with incredible ferocity. In the future, it may reach a level comparable to the Flood Dragon Monarch of Hundred Rivers Lake or the Demon Bull King of Cloud Dream Mountain."

"The depth of the True Martial Sect is indeed extraordinary!"

Exclamations of astonishment echoed everywhere.

If one’s strength is weak, as was the case with Taoist Longshan before entering the Celestial Human Realm, many would have attempted night raids due to coveting the True Martial heritage. But now that the strength is immense, others will only praise the depth of the True Martial Sect, without any hint of greed.

This is the difference.

Strength invokes awe, while weakness invites envy.

Not all reactions were of awe and admiration; some held malicious thoughts. They felt that the numerous factions infiltrating the True Martial Sect was due to the sect’s excessive prominence, fearing it would not enjoy its moment for long.

Especially the Demon Sect, a behemoth capable of opposing the Great Yan Imperial Court, and a mysterious Southern Border, which has gradually come into some people’s view in recent years.

These individuals believed that this matter might have follow-up consequences.

The factions that inserted spies so openly might not easily let the matter rest.

On True Martial Mountain.

The disciples were equally exhilarated.

They were still savoring the battle from that day.

The prowess of Xiong Shi and Ye Qinghe was expected, but Luo Wentian’s performance far exceeded expectations, even astonishing figures like Xiong Shi and Jiang Baishan. Suddenly, the senior brother possessed such formidable combat strength?

They couldn’t help but ask Luo Wentian.

But Luo Wentian merely pointed towards the Bright Martial Pavilion and smiled without speaking.

The group exchanged puzzled glances, feeling slightly doubtful. It wasn’t that they didn’t trust their master, but they felt if their master had such means, he would have demonstrated them earlier. Instead, a different figure emerged in their minds.

Ning Qi!

Yes, it was Ning Qi.

Nowadays, Ning Qi wasn’t as secretive in his actions as before. As his strength grew, he gradually revealed some traces before his fellow disciples, not to boast, but rather naturally.

For instance, they knew the Heaven-Ascending Ladder and other foundations were crafted by Ning Qi.

Adding Luo Wentian seemed reasonable?

But then they thought, if Ning Qi himself could forge an existence like Luo Wentian capable of overwhelming the average Primordial Core Realm, then how powerful must Ning Qi be?

They found this notion a bit exaggerated and chose not to dwell on it.

The other True Martial disciples were also curious about the low-key and mysterious Ninth Master Uncle.

They weren’t intrigued by Luo Wentian.

But rather by the White Ape.

After six years of hard cultivation without notice, a single display of power made him known worldwide.

A White Ape Taoist Child under him being so formidable undoubtedly added a layer of mystery to Ning Qi. Especially in recent years, Taoist Longshan and Luo Wentian have continuously obscured Ning Qi’s age, so much so that many disciples now have no idea how old Ning Qi is.

They only knew that this Ninth Master Uncle enjoyed studying scriptures, trained hard alone, and only appeared during major events, making him the most mysterious among the previous true disciples.

Some True Martial disciples speculated that the Ninth Master Uncle might be a hidden master.

However, some senior disciples merely chuckled, having an approximate understanding of Ning Qi’s age. They felt that no matter how strong he was, he wouldn’t be extraordinarily strong, but they wouldn’t expose him, choosing instead to leave the newcomers a figure to look up to.

True Martial Mountain became increasingly lively.

With the addition of three hundred excellent seedlings, it grew even more vibrant.

For these newly entered outer sect disciples.

Luo Wentian had naturally long prepared corresponding cultivation plans, with a differentiation in resources based on their performance in the entry test, followed by allocation of martial arts and resources according to the annual competition.

These matters proceeded orderly under the arrangements of Skill-Transferring Elder Sun Chuanhai, who was appointed for his reserved and fair nature.

...

Inside the Bright Martial Pavilion.

Spirit Concentration Incense rose gently, with Luo Wentian, Taoist Longshan, and Ning Qi seated apart.

"Master, Jiu, Second Junior Brother has already interrogated the spies from the entry test," Luo Wentian’s eyes carried a trace of anger. "The results on the Heart Inquiry Platform matched those of the heart inquiry, and even those eliminated included ones from the Demon Sect and Southern Border Alliance."
