Chapter 577: Chapter 272: Void Path 2 Seeing the four-color mist appear out of thin air, everyone’s face showed shock. "Is this..." Xie Chaolu widened her beautiful eyes, not daring to continue speaking. Jiang Qingxue’s eyes, usually as emotionless as the bottom of a frozen lake, once again overflowed with disbelief. "Senior Brother Ning has just been in seclusion for a day, and he’s already stepped into the Void Path Realm!" She had lost count of how many times her heart, frozen for the path of cultivation, had been shattered by Ning Qi. "At Senior Brother Ning’s age, he is probably the earliest to step into the Void Path Realm in the history of the Northern and Southern Domains." "The youngest Great Power in the history of the Northern and Southern Domains has appeared!" All the True Disciples stood in place, as if struck by lightning, shaking from the inside out. "Once someone steps into the Void Path Realm, they would generate corresponding attribute mist by mastering the rules. Now that there is a four-color mist, could it mean that..." Wu Qingxiao reminded everyone. Everyone was once again shocked, almost forgetting this point. They looked at the four-color mist, clearly perceiving what attributes it contained. "Water, fire, thunder, sword—Senior Brother Ning is terrifying! Not only did he step into the Void Path Realm as easily as drinking water, but how could he master four rules at once?" "Indeed, we’ve considered ourselves to have good talent in the Infinite Sword Sect, but every time we witness Senior Brother Ning’s talent, I start doubting if I really have good talent!" Everyone, hearing this, couldn’t help but cry and smile; there was no good way to respond, it was simply too crushing to their confidence. They, at least, were among the most outstanding chosen from the hundreds of True Disciples in the Infinite Sword Sect. Before Senior Brother Ning appeared, each of them had their own pride, even if Ye Chen naturally had a Wind Thunder Spirit Body, they didn’t feel vastly inferior. But following Senior Brother Ning these days, with his changes every day, whatever little pride they had left was completely worn away. Qin Minghao and Wang Ye were relatively better, since they were the ones who had followed Senior Brother Ning the longest amongst the True Disciples, and had long since adapted. Pride and self-esteem? Sorry, they had none left; facing Senior Brother Ning, they only had deep humility, like fireflies facing a bright sun. "I wonder to what extent Senior Brother Ning will reach the Void Path Realm?" Qin Minghao suddenly said. "Huh?" Aside from Wang Ye, all other True Disciples were taken aback. "Minghao, what do you mean by that? Could it be that Senior Brother Ning can directly step into the mid-period of the Void Path Realm?" The person asking was Mo Cang, whom Wang Ye had defeated in the True Disciple sequence battle, a person full of wildness. Now, after following everyone, Mo Cang’s usual wildness had diminished significantly, only fully exposed during battles. Qin Minghao nodded. "Although I know this is hard to accept, facts should progress in that direction. Don’t you remember, when Senior Brother Ning stepped into the Primordial Spirit Realm, didn’t he also progress step by step from the early period to the late period like us?" Hearing this, everyone fell silent. "Is the Void Path Realm’s stage determined like this?" Xie Chaolu inquired, her knowledge on this limited since she hadn’t truly stepped into the Void Path Realm, so understanding it didn’t help. But now that Qin Minghao mentioned Senior Brother Ning might not just be entering the Void Path Realm, naturally, it was necessary to pay attention. Jiang Qingxue clarified for her: "The Void Path Realm is measured by the proficiency of mastered Power of Rules." "Typically, in the early period of the Void Path Realm, one can condense a one-foot Rule Divine Chain, and must do so within ten breaths." "In the mid-period of the Void Path Realm, one can use the Primordial Spirit to condense a three-yard Rule Divine Chain from between heaven and earth, a total of three chains, within three breaths." "And in the late-period of the Void Path Realm, one must condense a ten-yard-long Rule Divine Chain, at least five chains, within a single breath." Another True Disciple, Luo Zhan, couldn’t help but gulp. He had lost to Qin Minghao in the True Disciple sequence battle, now ranked ninth. Luo Zhan said, "Breaking through to the Void Path Realm feels much harder than ascending in the Primordial Spirit Realm." "Naturally, since once entering the Void Path Realm, one is called a Great Power. In the Northern and Southern Domains, the Elders and Sect Leaders of Upper Sects are all in the Void Path Realm." As everyone continued discussing, they kept watching the cave where Ning Qi was. Although the cave entrance was tightly shut, the four-color mist seeped through the mountain. The Spirit Mountain abounded in beautiful sights, harmonious with the water and mist. An endless stream of Spiritual Qi surged toward this place from the Spirit Mountain and its surroundings. Though they couldn’t see inside the cave, just the unusual colors outside the cave allowed them to infer a bit. They saw the water, fire, sword, and thunder colors expanding, in the blink of an eye engulfing half the Spirit Mountain. Immediately, they leaped into the air to avoid being enveloped by the mist. Even though they were all late-period cultivators of the Primordial Spirit Realm, they didn’t dare to stay amidst the four-color mist formed by Senior Brother Ning’s breakthrough. There was an awe-inspiring power inside, and though no rules were apparent, it exerted a terrifying pressure on everyone. Just as they left the Spirit Mountain, the four-color mist dyed the entire Spirit Mountain. From afar, it seemed as if an Exotic Treasure had been unearthed at the Spirit Mountain. Suddenly, in the distance, a sword glow approached, with a person riding it. Passing by, he noticed the Spirit Mountain shining in four colors, and immediately came to investigate, perhaps hoping for a fortuitous opportunity. But as soon as he approached, eight pairs of eyes locked onto him. He was startled, thinking to himself, he’s only mid-period in the Primordial Spirit Realm, why are there eight late-period cultivators here? "Sorry for the disturbance, I happened to be passing by and noticed something unusual with this mountain, so I came to take a look. If I’ve been offensive, please forgive me."
