At this moment, True Martial Mountain was already in an uproar.

With the departure of True Man Tianjian, everyone finally began to unleash the excitement that had been suppressed for so long. The disciples of the True Martial Sect were all fervent, as this battle truly made their blood boil.

The strength of the Blade Demon already left them with lingering fear, such a Demon Blade seemed beyond the mortal realm, but True Man Tianjian was even a step higher.

Especially the many new seedlings in the sect, each secretly resolved to become as strong as True Man Tianjian in the future.

Sometimes.

Martial path talent is not the most critical.

Once you have talent, perseverance and mindset are even more important. A good goal and role model can benefit one for a lifetime, providing strength when encountering difficulties, and now, True Man Tianjian has undoubtedly become such an existence in the hearts of many True Martial disciples.

Luo Wentian was full of emotions.

He exchanged a silent glance with his master, both seeing the astonishment in each other's eyes.

Only the two of them knew that the esteemed True Man Tianjian was merely eleven years old now.

Their trust in Ning Qi became even firmer.

Besides the many disciples of the True Martial Sect, those martial artists who had come from afar to watch the battle were also thrilled, feeling that this journey was worthwhile, not wasting the long wait they endured.

"It's truly unimaginable that True Man Tianjian is so powerful. We initially thought the True Martial Sect would benefit from the Prince's influence, but now it seems that one day, the Prince might benefit from the True Martial Sect." Chen Xing and Chen Yue sighed.

True Man Tianjian repeatedly refreshed their understanding, and they were genuinely happy that their Crown Prince could find such a good sect.

Sun Chasing Sword King whispered to a few disciples of the Sunset Sword Sect around him:

"You go back first. I will stay in True Martial City for a while."

After witnessing such unparalleled swordsmanship from True Man Tianjian with his own eyes, he was eager to stay and contemplate the Sword Stele for a while.

The people of the Sunset Sword Sect looked concerned:

"Ancestor, this..."

Sun Chasing Sword King frowned and scolded:

"What? Do I not even have the freedom to act?"

Everyone quickly responded in fear:

"Ancestor, we dare not, it's just... we also want to stay here a while longer..."

Sun Chasing Sword King was astonished, then smiled and waved his hand.

Such scenes could be seen everywhere.

Many unparalleled powerhouses, perhaps disguised or openly, mostly intended to stay near True Martial City for a while. Whether it was the True Martial Sword Stele or the Tower of Ten Thousand Paths, they were all about to witness a climactic surge.

Everyone sighed:

"Upon arriving, who could have expected True Man Tianjian to win so decisively, the strength of the Blade Demon was without any fluff, but True Man Tianjian was simply stronger. Perhaps he's already the strongest below the Martial Saint, with such strength, even the Wind-listening Old Man at the top of the Celestial Being List might not be his match."

"Though the Blade Demon was defeated, it's an honorable defeat. Although he failed to break through to the Martial Saint Realm, he gave those who follow a direction. Such existence has been extremely rare for so long."

"I wonder if after being defeated by True Man Tianjian this time, the Blade Demon will disappear. That would indeed be a tremendous loss to the Martial Realm."

Amid the lively discussions.

Ning Qi was calm and composed, yet he also felt it would be a pity if the Blade Demon, like twenty years ago, vanished from the scene. His eyes flickered as he made a decision.

...

A disheveled old man walked barefoot through the mountains and forests.

The Blade Demon left True Martial Mountain, wandering aimlessly, looking up at the sky, with a trace of confusion in his pitch-black pupils.

Failing to break through, with only about a hundred years of life left, where to go next?

For a moment, he lost his aim.

Having reached the Ultimate Realm in the Blade Path, further progress would require a similarly long accumulation of time. Its difficulty was no less than reaching the Martial Saint Realm.

With only a hundred years remaining, he found himself at a loss as to what to do.

Or rather, whatever he did seemed to lose its meaning.

Because success seemed destined to be out of reach.

Even with the Blade Demon's mindset, he felt despair, as this failed breakthrough made him doubt and question his martial path.

"Perhaps... I should have perished in the previous breakthrough, what use is this broken body?" the Blade Demon muttered, stopping in his tracks.

A detached voice rang out:

"If so, would you be content?"

The Blade Demon's body trembled, and he turned around. A Black Robed Taoist had appeared behind him at some unknown time. He hoarsely asked:

"What guidance does the True Man have?"

This 'True Man Tianjian' was not using the Formless Gang Body, but rather Ning Qi in disguise and transformation.

Ning Qi looked at the somewhat despondent Blade Demon, shaking his head in disappointment:

"If your mindset is only this, I truly shouldn't have just saved you."

The Blade Demon's pupils contracted, and he remained silent.

Ning Qi stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the sky, his words indifferent yet filled with an incomprehensible domineering aura:

"Is a hundred years a short time?"

He genuinely thought so, as since he embarked on the martial path, it had merely been eleven years. He could hardly imagine what heights he could reach if given a hundred years.

The Blade Demon was stunned.

It was as if thunder exploded in his mind.

Why not continue fighting for a path in those hundred years?

He looked back on his life, beginning with sword training, advancing boldly, then mastering both sword and blade, beyond the reach of ordinary people. Later, he abandoned the sword for the blade, focusing solely on the blade, reaching the Transformation Realm in the Blade Path. Along this journey, he encountered numerous difficulties, but when had he ever given up?
