Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 37: Chapter 33: The Great Dream of 9 Deaths, Advancement to Inner Essence (Two-in-One)_2
...

The autumn gradually faded away, and the cold winds were biting.

There was a chill on True Martial Mountain, and the commotion of the Divine Sword Sect’s visit gradually subsided. That day, when Ning Qi easily subdued the chubby Zhuang Chen, it attracted quite a bit of attention within the True Martial Sect. Many people gained a clear understanding of Ning Qi’s talent as the ninth true inheritor for the first time.

A few curious disciples would inevitably find excuses to visit the Scripture Pavilion to get a closer look at Ning Qi.

However.

Ning Qi had always been mysterious and rarely interacted with other disciples. Gradually, the heat died down, and the Scripture Pavilion became quiet again.

After all, most disciples focused on the improvement of their own cultivation.

But the third senior sister Ye Qinghe and fifth senior brother Jiang Baishan visited one after the other to see how Ning Qi was doing. After teasing the White Ape for a bit, Ye Qinghe told Ning Qi some news.

Ye Qinghe told Ning Qi.

After descending from the Divine Sword Sect, Qin Yun was ordered by Taoist Longshan to go down the mountain for training.

Ning Qi could only sigh lightly.

Qin Yun had not been to the Seeking Tao Institute for a long time.

He felt helpless about this.

Ning Qi still remembered Qin Yun telling him that he wanted to become the number one in the world and restore True Martial Sect to the pinnacle of Taoism in the world.

But today.

There was no one to disturb him in the Seeking Tao Institute, not even the White Ape. While diligently practicing stance skills, the White Ape sometimes went to play with young disciples, and occasionally Ye Qinghe would take it for a stroll. The White Ape held quite a good position in the True Martial Sect.

It was rare for Ning Qi to sit cross-legged on his bed.

He had his five hearts facing the heaven, with a solemn expression, and carried some expectation.

Inside his body.

A startling change was occurring.

The robust foundation of his physical body generated a vast amount of Inner Strength within Ning Qi, probably ten times more than that of an average person.

At this moment.

The Inner Strength generated by his body was about to completely form a ’fruit.’

Ning Qi could feel that his dantian seemed to be filled with an invisible substance, presenting a mixed primordial state. "Gather!"

In that instant.

The last trace of ’sweet dew’ was extracted from his body, and the Inner Strength was completely condensed into a fruit. Ning Qi felt a surge of spirit, and his entire state sublimated.

In his dantian, the Inner Strength could be freely extracted, concentrated on his right arm, making it feel like he could smash mountains, an illusion brought by the massive increase in power.

The Inner Strength, enhancing his physical body, could erupt with far greater force than his body alone.

The current Ning Qi was frighteningly powerful.

Originally, his physical body surpassed others by far, and now with the more abundant Inner Strength augmenting it, he was beyond his past self. Although he just broke through to the Inner Essence Realm, he feared that even typical Sixfold or Sevenfold Realm experts might not be able to rival him.

What delighted Ning Qi the most.

Was the mysterious sublimation of his body.

After condensing the Inner Strength fruit, his lifespan increased again, now reaching two hundred years.

Now, Ning Qi was only five years old, meaning he could live for a full one hundred and ninety-five more years, or even more. His body was so strong, reaching a preeminent state that his lifespan might surpass ordinary people.

At this moment.

His spirit rejuvenated, his body at ease.

Ning Qi felt his thought processes speed up once more, with occasional spiritual enlightenment, surpassing before. "Is this the Inner Essence Realm? It’s truly marvelous."

Ning Qi smiled slightly.

Cultivation indeed was an interesting thing, the feeling of climbing towards the peak step by step fascinated him. Now, he was one step closer to immortality.

After a moment of reflection.

Ning Qi began to try the Great Dream Nine Deaths Strength.

Instantly entering a state of cultivation, Ning Qi swiftly found his footing, which for others at this stage would take quite some time.

Ning Qi controlled the Inner Strength fruit, step by step establishing a deeper bond with his body.
