"In just a few centuries, the time within the Seal of Mountains and Rivers has passed. It seems I can incarnate as a ’Martial Master’ in this world to plan ahead, increase my foundation, and nurture more Martial Artists."

Ning Xunqiu contemplated silently.

"I can also open the Triple Gate in advance and become a Seventh Realm Divine Person."

His Sixth Realm True Gang lacked Divine Weapons, making him no match for a True Immortal. Yet, as a Seventh Realm Divine Person, he could rely solely on his flesh to overpower the Four Sea Dragon Kings.

The difference in realms within the Martial Dao is so vast that one’s combat power can leap across several levels, showcasing the true might of the Martial Dao.

As Ning Xunqiu pondered, his ears suddenly caught a rapid stream of information.

[Warning!]

[Warning!]

[The construction process of the Void Celestial Gate across the All Heavens and Myriads of Realms is irreversible. The gate to the next unknown world will be completed in five hundred years. Within this period, Martial Masters must attain the Dao and cultivate Great Divine Techniques to face all creatures of that unknown world.]

"Randomly opening an unknown world?! The Void Celestial Gate is irreversible?!"

Ning Xunqiu’s scalp tingled as he felt a surge of terror in his heart.

With his current strength, how could he stand against the creatures of an entire realm?

This Void Celestial Gate seems to be a deadly trap. If it randomly opens an unknown world with numerous powerful divinities, what should he do then?

Could it be that once inside, he would have to awkwardly smile at the realm’s creatures and divinities, claiming that he accidentally entered without any ill intent?

Who would believe such a lame excuse?

Most likely, the moment he spoke, those external divinities would obliterate him to dust, leaving no trace.

"I!"

Ning Xunqiu opened his mouth to speak, sensing something within, and suddenly lifted his gaze to the sun of the Seal of Mountains and Rivers.

The heavens and earth thrummed with sound!

Within the Great Sun, countless Martial Artists’ heroic figures emerged, fighting fiercely with blood, discussing the Dao while seated, and traversing mountains and rivers, conquering the defiance of nature and understanding the essence of the Martial Dao.

Boom!!

Under the wash of the Martial Dao.

The will representing Duan Hong instantly perished within the Seal of Mountains and Rivers!

In this moment, all the essence of the Martial Dao, like rivers flowing into the sea, surged from the future of the Mountain and River Realm, flooding madly into the depths of Ning Xunqiu’s mind.

"Qingfeng Sword Technique"

"Celestial Eagle’s Ground-Scraping Hand"

"Innate Skill: Mixed Element Skill"

...

"Sumeru Dragon Elephant"

"Infinite Heaven-Flipping Seal"

Everything, everything, ultimately converged into that supreme Martial Dao—"Ten Thousand Species Struggle for Freedom in the Frosty Sky"!

In this instant, all weapons return to the root, resonating with heaven and earth.

The "Lifebound Character: Martial Saint" was reduced to just one character—"Wu"!

[Martial Dao Incarnation: Martial Master]

Throughout the age of Qingxu Realm, all the insights and Martial Arts of the Martial Artists would merge into the source of the Martial Dao "Ten Thousand Species Struggle for Freedom in the Frosty Sky"!

Every "Martial Hero" or "Seventh Realm Divine Person" in Qingxu Realm is an embodiment of your Great Dao.

...

Ning Xunqiu attained the full arcane secrets of "Ten Thousand Species Struggle for Freedom in the Frosty Sky".

The First Gate, the Gate of Limits!

The Second Gate, the Door of Wisdom!

The Third Gate, the Gate of Evolution!

The Triple Gate opened instantly!

Bathed in the blazing sunlight, Ning Xunqiu’s flesh body seemed to traverse through billions of years, experiencing endless evolution. His Qi surged wildly, his flesh became indestructible, and then transformed into an immaculate body, finally achieving a Divine Being’s physique.

Seventh Realm Martial Artist—Divine Being!!

Martial Arts Innate Divine—Martial Master, born at this moment!

Hoo!

In just one breath, the heavens and earth suddenly dimmed.

Ning Xunqiu only felt an even stronger hunger within his body. He naturally broke free from the earth’s constraints, his body seemingly transforming into an invisible black hole, collapsing everything around him into brilliant colored lines, continuously absorbing into his body.

"Not good!"

Ning Xunqiu suddenly realized the seriousness of the situation, his figure instantly shot up, steadying atop a small evolving celestial body outside the Mountain and River Realm.

In just ten days, the entire celestial body gradually disintegrated, turning into splendid colorful lines, devoured completely by Ning Xunqiu’s seemingly insatiable body.

"Whether energy or matter, under the arcane secrets of ’Ten Thousand Species Struggle for Freedom in the Frosty Sky’, all will inevitably be consumed."

Ning Xunqiu gently clenched his fist, relishing an unprecedented ease within his body.

"With my flesh alone, I can kill a Four Sea Dragon King and be counted as a Great Divine Power User in the Qingxu Realm!"

However, this majestic body has one flaw: it cannot approach mortals.

He furrowed his brows, concentrated his mind to withdraw "Ten Thousand Species Struggle for Freedom in the Frosty Sky", the Triple Gate closed, and the divine phenomena on his body gradually dissipated. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"Excellent, excellent."

Ning Xunqiu nodded with satisfaction.

Then he gazed upon the azure planet beneath him, "The Seal of Mountains and Rivers is the Ancestral Vein of the Martial Dao; I should be the master of the Mountain and River Realm!"

He paused slightly, his eyes turned towards the unending Cyan Mountain, yet he discovered with regret that there was not a single familiar face among them. In the outside world, mere decades had passed, while this realm had endured centuries of vicissitudes.

His master, younger sister, fellow students Zhao Ping, Zhang Han, Jingtian, had long turned to dust, no longer existing.

"This realm can serve for my future conquests of the Ten Thousand Realms, requiring careful planning and prudent management."

Ning Xunqiu’s gaze seemed to see the distant future, foreseeing the relentless rise of Qin Country in five thousand years of fiery turmoil, nurturing this prosperous era of Martial Dao.

This is the inevitable hardship for the progress of the Seal of Mountains and Rivers, even though Duan Hong has fallen, it will still happen as planned.

"The Mountain and River Realm is still in its budding stage, the gathering of Spiritual Qi will take time. If I act hastily and forcibly intervene in its developmental course, it might backfire."

"It would be better to place the ’Heart Fire Igniting Technique’ and ’Sumeru Dragon Elephant’ in it to increase the foundation."

Ning Xunqiu pondered to this point in his heart.

He then lightly sighed.

The myriad creatures of the Mountain and River Realm will face countless hardships and dangers, during which many lives will fade away.

But life and death have always been destined.

After all, he himself has just five hundred years of Dao Practice, yet to attain Dao, still struggling to find the path to longevity, what ability does he have to save others?

Even if he extends a helping hand, it would only let them linger a century more in this world, ultimately unable to escape the fate of turning into a handful of yellow earth.

Moreover, at this time, there are many Cyan Mountain Saints emerging, and the people of the Mountain and River Realm live in peace and contentment.

"Forget it."

Ning Xunqiu sighed softly, "I will leave a portal here in Cyan Mountain, if any beings of this realm are destined to step through this portal, I will give them guidance."

Ning Xunqiu descended into Cyan Mountain, placing the entrance to the ’Void Celestial Gate’ within Purple Mist Peak.

He then passed through the Void Celestial Gate, returning to Cyan Mountain Heaven and Earth.

Purple Mist Courtyard.

The first thing Ning Xunqiu did was pull Gao Fei Xue tightly into his embrace, burying his face deeply into her soft hair, breathing greedily.

"Junior Sister, you smell so good."

The warm breath from his words made Gao Fei Xue’s cheeks instantly blush a charming red.

"Senior Brother, stop, it’s ticklish." Gao Fei Xue gently pushed him lightly.

Seeing this, Ning Xunqiu became even more tempted.

The sky darkened.
