CHAPTER 364: CHAPTER 194: TENFOLD HEAVEN AND EARTH

The world of Great Yan had already become exceedingly lively.

With the awakening of numerous Ancient Saints, the power structure of the entire world was reshuffled. Top sects that once held numerous resources fell from their high positions, and any faction lacking an Ancient Saint was no longer significant.

According to those with a keen interest.

Nearly twenty Ancient Saints have already appeared.

Including those who remained low-key and did not appear, the number is even more, and additional Ancient Saints continue to awaken.

Martial Artists marveled and gasped; a grand era has come.

However.

Though these Martial Saints seem numerous, when spread out over tens of thousands of years, it is not much at all. The vast majority have already been submerged in the long river of history; the reason they seem numerous now is merely because they have appeared all at once in the present world.

The True Martial Sect has also been keeping an eye on the movements of the Ancient Saints.

After considering the attitudes regarding invitation letters sent by several Ancient Saints, Luo Wentian had Taoist Longshan politely decline them in writing, to avoid displeasing the other party.

On this day.

Taoist Baishan quietly paid a visit.

Within the Seeking Tao Institute.

Ning Qi opened his eyes, somewhat irritably gazing at the sneaky old Taoist in the distance:

"True Monarch, since you’re here, why not come in?"

The old Taoist’s action of picking tea leaves paused momentarily, then he chuckled and, pretending nonchalance, picked a pinch of tea tips and stuffed them into his Taoist robe.

"Hehe, I knew I couldn’t hide from you, kid."

With a leap, he landed on the recliner next to Ning Qi, comfortably lying down with squinting eyes.

Ning Qi waved his hand, and the White Ape respectfully entered the room, shortly bringing out a pot of Enlightenment Tea. Before Ning Qi could speak, Taoist Baishan had already snatched it:

"Good tea! Little White Ape knows how to treat guests, that’s really great!"

The White Ape couldn’t help but roll its eyes.

Ning Qi laughed and said:

"Try my Enlightenment Tea. If you like it, take some back."

Taoist Baishan downed it in one go, giving a thumbs up:

"Magnificent!"

Though exaggerated, surprise flashed in his eyes. This Enlightenment Tea was far superior to what he had tasted before, causing him to turn and scrutinize the Enlightenment Tea tree with even more astonishment.

Ning Qi shook his head with a laugh; with all the help Taoist Baishan had given him, a bit of Enlightenment Tea he was still willing to be generous with.

"Didn’t you say you had matters to handle? How do you have time to come wandering around here?"

Taoist Baishan shook his head with satisfaction:

"I completed my tasks of course, though there were minor troubles, they were handled smoothly. I heard you made quite a name for yourself in the Black Sand Sea, so I came to have a look."

"Although old kid Red Sun is not the top-notch, he’s no weakling either, yet you defeated him so badly and even snatched the Great Sun Compass, didn’t you Ning kid? Seems you didn’t go all out on True Profound Mountain!"

He winked.

Ning Qi sipped his tea.

He only realized at the last moment when the Profound Turtle revealed its true form that the ’old turtle’ mentioned was not a metaphor but actually the source of the True Martial lineage, making him speechless at their riddles.

"I just made some progress, that’s all." he said lightly.

Taoist Baishan was momentarily choked.

"Hey, you kid are getting cocky, but later don’t say you need my help. I’m here to assist you; don’t assume the Great Sun Compass is easily taken, it might just knock your teeth out accidentally!" he retorted grumpily.

Then suddenly, he was stunned.

Unbeknownst to him, a crimson compass appeared in Ning Qi’s palm, casually being played with. Ning Qi glanced at him askew:

"Is this what you’re talking about?"

Taoist Baishan rubbed his eyes, then jumped up:

"You’ve removed the imprint from the Great Sun Compass?"

Ning Qi did not reply, merely pointed a finger. A small Fire Lion instantly leaped out, performing a dance before Taoist Baishan, leaving him stunned momentarily before regaining his senses:

"Awesome!"

A simple word expressed his current feelings.

Whether Ning Qi had someone else do it or did it himself, it was extremely difficult. The former showed his strong connections, while the latter was even more astonishing.

But immediately, Taoist Baishan showed a gloating smile:

"That old Red Sun just ran into you, such a freak, suffered great losses, he must be seething with rage at home."

"However, this makes you two mortal enemies, this is a hatred that blocks one’s path."

As he said this, his smile gradually faded, seriously reminding.

Ning Qi said mildly:

"It doesn’t matter, when the opportunity is right, I will slay him."

The grudge of insulting a master does not pass easily; now it’s just some interest collection.

Baishan’s heart tightened.

He did not dissuade but merely said:

"You need to be careful of one person, Martial Saint Ziyue!"

"Martial Saint Ziyue?"

"That’s right, this person’s strength is on par with mine, she is the pledged sister of Martial Saint Red Sun, their relationship is very close. If she learns that Martial Saint Red Sun was seriously injured by you, she will surely come to trouble you, be prepared."

Ning Qi slightly nodded.

This indeed was important information.

However, he was unafraid.

"For now, there’s no need to worry excessively, you probably know what happened a few days ago, Heaven-Slaying Martial Saint was furious; even the Ancient Saints are behaving themselves now. Even if Martial Saint Ziyue returns, she won’t come just yet."

As he spoke, Taoist Baishan laughed.

Ning Qi also chuckled.

With the return of the Ancient Saints, naturally, they weren’t behaving; some even had old grudges. Four Ancient Saints fought fiercely, and Heaven-Slaying Martial Saint arrived, ultimately deciding to make an example by suppressing four Ancient Saints and ordering them not to leave.

Only afterward did the Ancient Saints settle down.

"But Heaven-Slaying Martial Saint cannot watch over everything at all times, when the Spiritual Awakening day comes, he will need to close up, disputes might arise then."
