Chapter 598: Chapter 277: Approaching_3 Above, thunder roared and lightning surged, the winds and clouds shifted, water and fire merged, sharp and fierce yet with a heavy presence! The Dragon Spear pierced through the void, striking toward the Sword Dao Divine Dragon. Once they met, the spiritual energy extinguished and the void shattered, and the entire central mountain range of the Infinite Sword Sect seemed to be engulfed in a meteor storm. Rumble! At first, the onlookers could still catch glimpses of the battle and hear some sounds. However, soon they could see nothing and hear nothing, their five senses were deprived. Like weak people falling into an abyss, neither heaven above nor earth below, only a faint spiritual flame remained, aware that they were still alive. After a few breaths. The Sword Dao Divine Dragon suddenly collapsed, and the Dragon Spear shattered as well. The void they were in was flooded with endless spiritual energy and rules, light returned, and sound reappeared. The onlooking great powers looked at the two. They saw Ning Qi seemed to have been pushed back ten feet in the air, yet his white clothes remained untainted, calm and composed. Whereas Sword Ancestor Sword Shocking’s figure was as upright as when they first met, like a divine sword. Only Ning Qi saw from the front that a trace of blood oozed from Sword Shocking’s mouth, which he wiped away in an instant. Ning Qi’s eyes flickered, he couldn’t help but think that earlier Sword Shocking mentioned his situation was somewhat special, the Sword Ancestor decided to hide some important matters! But now was not the time to inquire about these. Ning Qi descended onto the square, taking the initiative to say, "The ancestor’s skill attains miraculous insight, this junior pales in comparison." Sword Shocking coughed lightly again, also landing in the field. He stared at Ning Qi, incredibly shocked in his heart. The sword dao rule of ten thousand feet was something he conjured at the cost of a Dao injury, though it could only be sustained for a moment, it could still cut down even a typical Integration Realm cultivator. Initially, Sword Shocking didn’t want to use such a move, but seeing a talent like Ning Qi, a rare sight in a million years, he eventually used it. If before transmitting his teachings, Ning Qi hadn’t had any enlightenment, he naturally wouldn’t use it. But after several exchanges, Sword Shocking found that Ning Qi’s intuition was shockingly extraordinary; within a few exchanges, Ning Qi had already comprehended seventy to eighty percent of his sword dao. Thus, he used it. Unexpectedly, even when his later strength was insufficient, Ning Qi could withstand it, even... Sword Shocking pursed his thin lips, Ning Qi was able to defeat him! "You kid, there’s no need to flatter me, we sword cultivators act with direct hearts, one is one, two is two." He sighed lightly, saying, "In the end, I’m old, I’m not your equal, my talent is not yours, and my future is even less than yours!" Ning Qi was taken aback, the Sword Ancestor’s frankness made him feel a sense of admiration. And the onlooking great powers, one by one, hearing this, felt as if struck by the sword dao. What did the Sword Ancestor just say? Before Ning Qi appeared, the most extraordinary person in the Infinite Sword Sect admitted that he was not as good as Ning Qi, he lost? All the great powers arduously turned their heads, moving their gaze from the Sword Ancestor to Ning Qi. Their pupils seemed to quake as they beheld that figure in white, a fervor growing in their eyes. Even the Sword Ancestor admitted he was not as good, how fortunate is the Infinite Sword Sect, how honored they as elders are to witness this. The desolate aura on Jiang Baichuan suddenly disappeared, he finally felt relieved. Ning Qi becoming the Sect Leader of the Infinite Sword Sect is truly fortunate, had he continued causing trouble, it would undoubtedly have slowed the sect’s future. "I have passed on the teachings, now you all go and study them." The Sword Ancestor waved his broad sleeve. The crowd respectfully saluted, "Thank you, Sword Ancestor, for the teachings." "Ning Qi, stay." Ning Qi’s just-extended step halted instantly, then he followed the Sword Ancestor back to the Mingxin Hall. The two sat down, Ning Qi took out a tea set, personally brewing a pot of Enlightenment Tea. In a moment, the fragrance of the Enlightenment Tea filled the Mingxin Hall, the tea soup was clear, with lingering spiritual qi rising. "Sword Ancestor, please have some tea." Sword Shocking, absorbed in the sword, unbothered by other matters, curiously glanced at Ning Qi, saying: "You also know tea ceremony?" 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎 "I occasionally brew it." Sword Shocking nodded, accepting the teacup for a light sip. A sip of teacup, even at his level, Sword Shocking felt his Dao heart become clearer, the primordial spirit more lucid. "Hmm, what kind of tea is this, it has such an effect?" Ning Qi smiled, replying, "This is Enlightenment Tea, which I found in the Profound Truth Secret Realm." "You truly have abundant fortune." After the two finished their tea, Ning Qi proactively asked: "I noticed the Sword Ancestor seems to be injured? If it weren’t for that injury, this disciple wouldn’t be your match." Sword Shocking glanced sideways, "You noticed?" "Yes, I’m not sure if the Sword Ancestor trusts me, if so, please tell me a bit. I’m willing to make an effort to help the Sword Ancestor recover from the injury soon." Sword Shocking replied nonchalantly, "The Sect Leader’s position has been given to you, what is there not to trust?" Then, he slowly revealed: Ten thousand years ago, Sword Shocking also ventured into the Profound Truth Secret Realm. It was he who brought out the Infinite Sword Scripture from it for the Infinite Sword Sect. However, that time was similar to this occasion with Ning Qi, the Beixuan Upper Sect, upon discovering such a formidable genius as Sword Shocking from the Infinite Sword Sect, intended to eliminate him in the Profound Truth Secret Realm. But they were later killed by him instead. However, their true inheritor retrieved an evil object from the Profound Truth Secret Realm, probably held by the side that caused the Profound Truth Realm’s division back then. The opponent used this object on Sword Shocking, and from then on, he bore the injury of the Dao, only able to reach the Void Path Realm, unable to progress further. Thus, he went into seclusion for ten thousand years, choosing to forge another path, walking the way of "One Sword Breaks Ten Thousand Techniques," condensing the rule divine chain of a ten-thousand-foot sword dao.
