Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 169: Chapter 123: The Town North King’s Confidential Letter, the Successor Sect Leader (Combined Chapter)_2
"In this world, there is no Martial Saint Technique... Does this mean all Martial Saint Techniques have been severed? Why would they be severed? Were they erased by someone, or is there another reason?"

Taoist Longshan murmured to himself, unable to remain calm.

There are Martial Saints in the world.

The Martial Saint of Great Yan is proof, yet the Town North King said that to become a Martial Saint, one must forge a new path for themselves. "Is the path of the Martial Saint of Great Yan impassable? Or is it that someone doesn’t want others to ascend to Martial Saint, thus deliberately destroying all Martial Saint Techniques?"

Taoist Longshan’s eyes narrowed slightly.

In his heart, he had an even more shocking guess but didn’t voice it. The Martial Saint of Great Yan has dominated the world for two thousand years; perhaps he intends to monopolize the universe, preventing others from reaching Martial Saint?

Ning Qi, merely seeing the look in his master’s eyes, already knew what he was thinking.

In fact, his initial thoughts were the same as Taoist Longshan’s.

But soon, he thought more deeply.

Previously, when he received the Cyan Blade Sword Saint’s legacy from Zhuang Chen, the Martial Saint part of the legacy was missing, as if it had been erased by someone. But there was an additional note saying that to become a Martial Saint, one must absorb the power of heaven and earth for their own use. "If it was the doing of the Martial Saint of Great Yan, does he have the ability to erase the Martial Saint part from all Martial Saint legacies throughout history? Why not simply destroy the entire legacy, and why add such an unnecessary note?" "Moreover, if the Martial Saint of Great Yan wants to monopolize the world, he could secretly eliminate those at the Celestial Being Perfection realm. Why allow them to continue growing and seeking the path ahead?"

Ning Qi found it somewhat illogical. "But if these weren’t the actions of the Martial Saint of Great Yan, then who erased these Martial Saint Techniques?"

He voiced these speculations.

Taoist Longshan fell silent. "Hearing you say this, I suddenly feel that the True Martial legacy I received back then might not be incomplete. Perhaps even the Martial Saint Techniques in the True Martial legacy were erased by someone!" He voiced a shocking thought, but then shook his head.

This was just his speculation. Perhaps the True Martial legacy is one of the few well-preserved Martial Saint Techniques? "But... why?"

Both were puzzled.

After all, whether or not there is a Cultivation Technique to rely on is a different matter.

For instance, the Celestial Human Realm.

If someone cultivates to the Gang Essence Realm but doesn’t have the Celestial Being Secret Record to aid in cultivation, they might exhaust their life without breaking through, as it would mean blindly exploring a breakthrough method.

Now there are no Martial Saint Techniques in the world.

Which means those at the Celestial Being Perfection level need to explore the path forward themselves, forcibly creating a breakthrough method to reach the Martial Saint Realm. This is almost equivalent to pioneering the next realm of the Martial Path, retracing the path of the Human Race, just knowing in advance that the next realm is named Martial Saint.

The difficulty is imaginable.

Ning Qi didn’t know how long it took for the initial Human Race to explore the Martial Saint Realm, but it couldn’t have been short.

Even with Martial Saint Techniques, breaking through from the Celestial Human Realm to Martial Saint is extremely difficult, with one not emerging even in a few centuries.

Now, without Martial Saint Techniques, it’s even more hellishly difficult. "No wonder there has been no new Martial Saint for two thousand years." Taoist Longshan understood the reason.

Ning Qi’s eyes flickered: "Perhaps this matter wasn’t done by one person, but by ’a certain group,’ or perhaps another force?"

He recalled the blind old man he met in the small town before, who subtly reminded him not to delve too deeply into Martial Saint matters, as if warning him that Martial Saints were ominous.

He felt he was getting closer to the truth. "Fortunately, it’s just lacking the ’Techniques’." Ning Qi smiled.

In terms of comprehension, he wasn’t afraid of anyone.
