After a moment of shock, everyone came to a realization. Everyone, including the pavilion master of Chao Yin Pavilion, finally understood why Ning Qi was able to advance to the Karma Realm! The cultivators who left the Forsaken Land of the Gods were marked with some sort of mark. If they triggered the Tribulation Lightning, they would definitely be suppressed by the Holy Council. However, they knew that dark cultivators did not need the Holy Council's approval to advance.
Instead, they had to go through another existence similar to the Holy Council.
The Dark Council!
"This is no longer the Forsaken Land of the Gods, but the aura of the Forsaken Land of the Gods still remains on your bodies. Therefore, the Dark Council is the most suitable place for you."
Ning Qi smiled.
He paused for a moment. "If anyone is unwilling to become a dark cultivator, you can speak now. I will send them out in a moment."
Everyone exchanged glances. No one said anything. In their situation, being able to join the Dark Council was already the best outcome. No one would be unwilling to become a dark cultivator!
"It seems like you all agree. Then, I will bring you to Lord True Spirit. This place is under his jurisdiction."
Ning Qi smiled.
Not long after, the pavilion master of Chao Yin Pavilion and the others followed Ning Qi into the city. Ning Qi was an influential figure in the fifth district, so his appearance immediately attracted the attention of various forces, especially the Nangong family!
Nangong family.
Nangong Yuanqing's wife sat expressionlessly at the head of the table. The rest of the elders of the Nangong family sat on either side. In the middle of the group, a cultivator half-knelt on the ground.
"That brat really came back?"
Nangong Yuanqing's wife said calmly. "Madam, this lowly one saw it with his own eyes. There are many unfamiliar cultivators who came with him to the fifth district. Judging from their auras, they don't seem to be dark cultivators. They are currently following that person to the parliament building.
They are most likely requesting to meet Lord True Spirit! "
The cultivator who was half-kneeling on the ground said with a respectful expression.
"There has been no news of my husband for more than a hundred years. This brat definitely knows where he is. Continue to keep an eye on him. When he leaves the parliament building, invite him to our Nangong family."
"Yes, madam!"
…
The parliament building. Normal cultivators had to get permission to enter, let alone bring a stranger in. However, as soon as the cultivators guarding the gate saw Ning Qi, they let him in without any hesitation. They didn't even ask about the origins of the Chao Yin Pavilion's master and the others.
There was no way any cultivator would be able to cause trouble in the council building. Since the Chao Yin Pavilion Master and the others were brought here by Ning Qi, they were naturally trustworthy.
Even if something went wrong, Ning Qi would be the one to take responsibility. It had nothing to do with them. Who asked Ning Qi to be in the limelight more than a hundred years ago?
Before Ning Qi could see the True Spirit, he ran into Jiu Kun. Jiu Kun was startled when he saw the Chao Yin Pavilion Master and the others.
"Little Brother Ning, they are?"
Jiu Kun smiled.
"Senior Jiu Kun, they came from the Forsaken Land of the Gods. I plan to bring them to meet Lord True Spirit and settle them down in the fifth region."
Ning Qi smiled.
"Forsaken Land of the Gods?"
Jiu Kun was stunned. He said with some surprise, "You actually managed to leave the Forsaken Land of the Gods? What kind of method did you use?" As soon as his voice fell, Jiu Kun seemed to react. "Forget it, this method must be a secret, so I won't ask about it. Little Brother Ning, unfortunately, Lord True Spirit has gone to the headquarters, so you won't be able to see him for the time being.
I'll do it. "
"Lord True Spirit isn't here?"
Ning Qi frowned, then smiled. "Thank you, Senior Jiu Kun."
"There's no need to be so polite."
Jiu Kun smiled.
The next day.
After Jiu Kun's arrangement, the Chao Yin Pavilion Master and the others were sent to various training camps. This was the rule of becoming a dark cultivator that could not be broken, not even with Ning Qi's guarantee.
However, Ning Qi had personally escorted them to the training camps, so the leaders of the training camps knew that the Chao Yin Pavilion Master and the others were close to Ning Qi. If anything were to happen, the Chao Yin Pavilion Master and the others would probably lend a hand.
After sending off the last person, Ning Qi turned around and headed to Jiu Kun's cave. Since the True Spirit wasn't here, he could only ask Jiu Kun how to obtain the qualification to advance from the Karma State to the Fate State.
"Brother Ning, our Master's wife would like to see you."
When he was about to reach Jiu Kun's cave, several cultivators appeared out of nowhere and blocked Ning Qi's path. They looked at Ning Qi cautiously!
"Who is your Master's wife?"
Ning Qi asked calmly.
As he spoke, he glanced at the group's attributes. Before they could speak, he smiled and said, "Oh, the Nangong family. The Master's wife must be Nangong Yuanqing's cultivation partner."
"That's right."
They answered while looking at Ning Qi. Before they knew it, their palms were covered in cold sweat.
"Go back and tell your Master's wife that I'll go to the Nangong family, but not now. She must want to know where Nangong Yuanqing is, right? If she really wants to know, she can come and find me in person. "
Ning Qi smiled.
"But …"
"There's no buts."
Ning Qi smiled and walked past them, heading toward Jiu Kun's cave. As for the other cultivators, they exchanged looks but didn't dare to stop him.
…
"Senior Jiu Kun, sorry to bother you again."
Ning Qi cupped his hands at Jiu Kun with a smile.
Jiu Kun was wearing a loose robe, and his expression was much gentler than when he was outside. Perhaps it was because he was in the cave, but he was more relaxed.
"Don't be so polite. May I know why you're here today, Brother Ning?"
Jiu Kun smiled.
A few Daoist children served tea to the two of them in a practiced manner before retreating to the side and standing there.
"Lord True Spirit gave me a Burning Karma Fruit some time ago, and I received two more later. I think it should be enough to cleanse my karma. So, I want to know how I can become qualified to advance to the Fate State."
Ning Qi smiled.
He felt that it was the right time to ask Jiu Kun about this. Jiu Kun was at the Fate State, so he must know how he was qualified.
"You've collected three Burning Karma Fruits so quickly?"
Jiu Kun looked at Ning Qi in surprise.
He then nodded. "Indeed, with your ability in stone gambling, the Burning Karma Fruit won't be a problem for you." An ordinary cultivator at the Karma State wouldn't be able to collect three Burning Karma Fruits without spending thousands or even tens of thousands of years. However, Ning Qi was an exception. Jiu Kun knew that Ning Qi was very good at stone gambling, which meant that his wealth couldn't be measured by ordinary karma.
In the Shenluo World, as long as one could afford it, it wasn't too difficult to find something like the Burning Karma Fruit.
"Since you've collected all the Burning Karma Fruits, you're indeed qualified to advance to the Fate State. However, you'll need some battle merits before the Parliament will send down the Thunder Tribulation for you."
Jiu Kun said.
"Battle merits?"
Ning Qi was stunned.
