The breeze was invisible, the exotic fragrance of the Enlightenment Tea Tree lingered around.

Ning Qi concentrated his spirit and calmed his mind, the slight agitation in his heart gradually settling.

Ideas flashed through his mind, and he began to carefully consider the connections behind this information.

"Perhaps... the situation isn't as bad as I imagined."

"I must admit, the tragic scene of the Giant Ape seen deep within the Tiansheng bloodline had a great impact on me, but thinking about it carefully, is it still the same now? The time when that scene occurred is unknown, but it must be a very long time ago, would the Power of Heaven and Earth now still be as terrifying as before given such a long passage of time?"

Ning Qi felt that probably not.

"Even if there are anomalies in the Power of Heaven and Earth, the intensity may have diminished."

"Proof is that there still exist Martial Saints today! After all, the path of the Martial Saint is precisely to refine the Power of Heaven and Earth into the body."

His eyes gradually brightened, slowly finding his direction.

"Firstly, there's the Great Yan Martial Saint! Since he could survive for so long, perhaps he found a way to cope, which indicates that the change in the Power of Heaven and Earth is not without solution."

"Secondly, the Secret Techniques of the Demon Sect and the Southern Border Martial Saints, according to the Grand Elder of the Demon Sect, the Demon Sect previously used the Holy Pill Technique to create Martial Saints, but they were destroyed by the Great Yan Martial Saint. Does this indicate that the horror contained in the Power of Heaven and Earth isn't as extreme as I imagined?"

"Lastly, the Yu King Pearl. The Yu King Pearl contains the condensed power of the Martial Saint, or rather, the refined Power of Heaven and Earth, yet nothing else terrifying happened. Could it be said that the changes in the Power of Heaven and Earth only affect living entities?"

Ning Qi pondered.

These are the three angles he could explore.

But the challenges vary.

The attitude of the Great Yan Martial Saint is unclear, he's likely the one who eliminated the Martial Saint Technique, rashly approaching him might bring great trouble.

Meanwhile, the Demon Sect now only has the Sect Leader struggling to survive, whereabouts unknown, only the Blood Emperor Gu's technique from the Southern Border might hold some hope.

"The most accessible is still the Yu King Pearl. By thoroughly researching the Martial Saint power within the Yu King Pearl, perhaps I can unravel some reasons. As for the Southern Border... could there be any information obtained from Lan Yiyi?"

Thinking of this, Ning Qi felt somewhat guilty.

No matter what, Lan Yiyi came to save Qin Yun, if she is unwilling to disclose anything about the Southern Border, Ning Qi would definitely not force her, he'll just think of other methods later.

"It's better to focus wholeheartedly on the Yu King Pearl first."

Ning Qi took a deep breath, deciding the direction for his subsequent cultivation.

Now his cultivation has reached Celestial Being Perfection.

There's no higher realm to progress.

The only thing he can do is to enhance his combat power as much as possible, whether by delving into Secret Techniques or honing Martial Intent, or other methods, these are his goals for continued effort. Of course, finding the problem with the Power of Heaven and Earth is the most crucial, for no matter how strong one is within the same realm, it ultimately falls short of the advantages brought by elevating one's realm, this is the essence of life's difference.

After a moment's thought.

The White Ape had slowly awakened.

He did not know what had happened, only felt that his bloodline seemed to have suddenly developed greatly, strands of power continuously emerged, needing just some time to digest these gains, he was confident he could even contend with Celestial Human Realm martial artists, by then, his Martial Path realm would also improve accordingly.

The White Ape was indescribably delighted.

"Thank you, Master!" He bowed respectfully.

Ning Qi merely smiled and waved his hand, after a pause, he again recalled the miserable fate of the previously seen Silver Giant Ape and couldn't help but advise:

"Tiansheng, should your bloodline have any mutations in the future, inform me immediately, especially concerning changes related to the Power of Heaven and Earth, don't be careless!"

Seeing Ning Qi's seriousness, Yuan Tiancheng felt somewhat terrified, hastily nodded in acknowledgment.

Ning Qi suddenly thought.

Perhaps the Beast Emperor within the Hundred Thousand Mountains could also be a direction for exploration.

"The Beast Emperor is an existence on the same level as a Martial Saint, it is even highly possible the Beast Emperor is indeed the descendant of a Heavenly Beast bloodline awakened and developed to a certain realm, maybe someday there will be an opportunity to visit the Hundred Thousand Mountains."

He let go of miscellaneous thoughts, turned to look outside the courtyard.

In the distance, two figures approached together.

It was Zhuang Chen and Li Ling.

Since Ning Qi's identity was revealed, they would come every half month to seek guidance in Sword Dao, Ning Qi would also impart teachings to both without bias.

Although Li Ling's Sword Dao talent wasn't as powerful as Zhuang Chen's Innate Sword Bone, his sincere dedication was equally commendable, Ning Qi taught him the Innate Sword Body Secret Technique, using it to research whether postnatal cultivation could forge a 'Innate Sword Bone' special physique.

"Ninth Senior Brother!" The two of them greeted him courteously, their eyes full of admiration.

Ning Qi smiled and nodded.

Things were already much better for them now; previously, when they had just learned of his identity, they were extremely reserved every time they came to seek Sword Dao guidance, unlike their previously carefree demeanor, for the prestige of True Man Tianjian was indeed too overwhelming, even affecting them.

However, as they slowly grew accustomed, they realized that Ning Qi remained the same calm Ninth Senior Brother, gradually returning to normal, but their admiration and respect intensified.

Unbeknownst to the, Ning Qi had already become their target.

"Come and sit cross-legged."

He planned to examine Zhuang Chen's Innate Sword Bone again, to see if any new changes appeared after he reached Celestial Being Perfection.

The two respectfully complied.
