"So weak … But what happened to my right arm?"
Ning Qi scanned his body with his Divine Sense and found that his body was very weak. It had not been tempered at all. It was even weaker than when he had just stepped onto the path of cultivation!
However, his right arm was completely different from the other parts of his body. The strength of his right arm was even stronger than when he had opened the Nine Inner Hidden Gates!
"The bones of my right arm have turned golden. Are these golden bones?"
Ning Qi was slightly stunned.
Back then, only his pinky finger was golden, and it wasn't tempered by himself. But now, his entire right arm had turned golden.
"Could it be that the power of the stars has been used to temper the bones instead of the body?"
The more Ning Qi thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was correct. A hint of surprise surged in his heart. His right arm turning golden should be the unique characteristic of a cultivator at the fifth step that Gongsun Wufo had mentioned! He was only at the peak of the Fate Realm. He hadn't even reached the Reincarnation Realm, let alone the Undead Realm. Having the characteristics of the Undead Realm would obviously increase his combat strength. Ning Qi felt that if he opened the Nine Inner Hidden Gates, the power of his right arm would probably be able to rival an Undead Realm powerhouse!
To be able to exchange a few punches with an Undead powerhouse without being at a disadvantage!
Ning Qi originally thought that it would take a long time for his Ancient Star Body to return to the seventh rank. He didn't expect that it would only take a day for his Ancient Star Body to return to the first rank.
Ning Qi originally thought that it would take a long time for his Ancient Star Body to return to rank 7, but it only took a day for his Ancient Star Body to return to rank 1.
On the eighth day, his Ancient Star Body broke through to the third rank!
On the eighth day, his Ancient Star Body broke through to the fourth rank!
On the twentieth day, his Ancient Star Body broke through to the fourth rank!
Ning Qi stayed in the soil for a whole year. On the seventh month, his Ancient Star Body had recovered to the seventh rank. This speed surprised Ning Qi. The previous wave of star power hadn't been exhausted yet.
Ning Qi planned to continue his seclusion and try to break through to the eighth rank of the Ancient Star Body!
Even in the Ancient Star Pavilion, aside from the palace masters, vice palace masters, and elders, only the Chief Head Disciples and a small number of senior true disciples could reach this level!
When Ning Qi broke through to the 7th rank of the Ancient Star Body, he fell into a bottleneck and couldn't support the formation of the 8th rank Ancient Star Body.
But now, he found that his bottleneck had disappeared and his Ancient Star Body was moving toward rank 8!
The reason why the bottleneck had disappeared was probably due to the golden body transformation of his right arm!
"Just a little bit more." Ning Qi heaved a sigh of relief. His physical strength had recovered to its peak. Once his Ancient Star Body reached the eighth rank, he would definitely become the strongest Fate State cultivator in the Shenluo Realm. Even the disciples of the Great Emperors wouldn't stand a chance against him.
With just one punch, even a late stage Rebirth realm cultivator or a Perfect Rebirth realm cultivator would be reduced to ashes as long as he had the chance to land a punch!
…
"That outer sect disciple is still guarding No Regret Mountain?"
Gongsun Lu finally felt impatient after hearing the message from his subordinates. The other party was just an outer sect disciple who hadn't even formed a Celestial Palace, yet he dared to go against him after he gave the order?
"I want to see if you're going to leave or not."
Gongsun Lu grinned. The cauldron in front of him suddenly let out a dragon roar and a few round pills flew into Gongsun Lu's hand.
Gongsun Lu put away the pills and left the alchemy room. He flew toward the direction of No Regret Mountain. At the same time, some cultivators who had left earlier also returned.
No Regret Mountain. "Junior Brother Zhang, Revered Elder Ning won't be coming back, and this Mount No Regret has already declined. If you continue to guard this place, it won't do you any good. I've heard the deacons of my mountain range talk about it in private. Elder Gongsun is already impatient, and he will come to Mount No Regret sooner or later.
！”
"That's right. Today is the anniversary of Foreign Elder Ning's death. We came here to pay our respects and persuade Senior Brother Zhang Tao to leave No Regret Mountain! When you're under someone else's roof, you have to lower your head. Senior Brother Zhang, can't you see through this? "
"Zhang Tao, I remember that you're good at judging the situation. Why are you staying here?"
Seeing that Zhang Tao was still unmoved after the others finished persuading him, Zhang Zhilan suddenly spoke with a hint of doubt in her eyes.
"Senior Brothers, Senior Sisters, Junior Brothers, Junior Sisters, I, Zhang Tao, appreciate your kindness, but I have my reasons for staying here."
Zhang Tao sighed.
"What reasons are there that are more important than your life?"
Zhang Zhilan frowned.
Hearing this, everyone jumped in fright and hurriedly signaled Zhang Zhilan with their eyes.
"Junior Sister Zhilan, you're being too serious. No matter how domineering Elder Gongsun is, he wouldn't do anything to Junior Brother Zhang Tao, right?"
"Who knows!"
Zhang Zhilan sneered.
"That's right, it's my life. Back at the Fortune Peak, Foreign Elder Ning saved my life. Now, I'm guarding his grave and waiting for him to reform his body. It's my duty. Everyone, please don't try to persuade me."
Zhang Tao smiled bitterly.
"You went to the Fortune Peak with Foreign Elder Ning?"
Everyone stared at Zhang Tao with their mouths agape. They knew nothing about this.
"En, although Foreign Elder Ning was the one who dragged me up, the situation was dire and I was about to die. I don't have an immortal palace, so I'll definitely be thrown into the reincarnation cycle after I die. If it wasn't for Foreign Elder Ning, you guys wouldn't be able to see me now."
Zhang Tao smiled. Everyone came to a sudden realization. They finally understood why Zhang Tao had been guarding this place for all these years. If it was them, they would probably do the same. However, if they did that, it would affect their own cultivation, and they would also completely offend Gongsun Lu.
Zhang Tao would have no future in the Heavenly Grandmother Sect.
"How affectionate and loyal."
A mocking voice sounded above everyone's head.
Zhang Zhilan and the rest's expressions changed. How could they forget this voice!?
"So it's Elder Gongsun. We pay our respects to Elder Gongsun!"
When a few cultivators saw Gongsun Lu, they immediately revealed fawning expressions and bowed in greeting.
"We pay our respects to Elder Gongsun!"
Zhang Zhilan and the rest looked at each other, suppressed the anger in their hearts, and bowed to Gong Sun Lu.
"I can see that all of you want to devour me, but it doesn't matter. A mere third-step cultivator isn't worthy of my attention."
Gong Sun Lu smiled and looked at Zhang Tao. "Everyone in the No Regret Mountain has left, not even a dog. You're the only one here guarding that trash's grave? Do you think he dares to come back to the Heavenly Grandmother Sect? "
Zhang Tao forced a calm smile and did not speak. "This person is a body-tempering cultivator. His body was destroyed by my ancestor. Even if he reformed it, I'm afraid he won't be qualified to be a deacon. If he dares to return to the Heavenly Grandmother Sect, that flying sword of his will be mine. Unfortunately, he's as timid as a mouse.
He didn't give me such a chance. "
