Ning Qi smiled faintly, somewhat expectant.

Ever since seeing that scene from the depths of the White Ape bloodline, he has been wondering if the deepest parts of Zhuang Chen's Innate Sword Bone would have a similar scene.

Now, Zhuang Chen has finally achieved success.

"Come over, Shi." He waved, and the White Ape instantly showed an immensely sympathetic look. During these days, he experienced pain mixed with joy, as each resonance enhanced the degree of bloodline development significantly, despite the unpleasant sour and refreshing sensation.

Watching Zhuang Chen about to follow in his footsteps, he couldn't help but grin and laugh.

Zhuang Chen thought the White Ape was teasing him and returned a playful face.

Though Zhuang Chen was a few years older than Ning Qi, he wasn't taller. He had a chubby figure and a plump face. After Ning Qi improved the Dreaming Gluttony Secret Technique for him, such side effects stopped, but he remained fat due to his gluttony.

"Ninth Senior Brother, how should I cooperate with you this time?" Zhuang Chen asked expectantly.

Ning Qi laughed and said:

"Same as before, but this time you'll need to keep the Resonance Secret Technique running without interruption unless you pass out. If successful, I'll teach you a Secret Technique even stronger than the Innate Sword Body."

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Chen's eyes lit up, completely missing the White Ape's sneaky smile.

He thumped his chest with a thunderous sound, cheerfully saying:

"Bring it on, Senior Brother, I am ready!"

Ning Qi chuckled softly and then said solemnly:

"Close your eyes, adjust your breath, and operate the Secret Technique!"

Zhuang Chen became serious, starting to resonate with his internal Innate Sword Bone. He couldn't help but let out a low roar, as the sound of swords echoed from within, as if a Divine Sword was being unsheathed. It remarkably resembled the White Ape's involuntary manifestation of the Ape King's true form.

Ning Qi was slightly astonished.

Then he manipulated the vast Power of Heaven and Earth to gather around. He felt more at ease than before, as his Sword Dao had already reached an exceedingly high realm.

The surrounding area seemed to resonate with thousands of Divine Swords.

Zhuang Chen's face abruptly twisted, with the White Ape rejoicing in his misery, as he realized resonating internally and externally wasn't as easy as he assumed. Struggling, Zhuang Chen let out a low shout, feeling like countless ants were gently tearing his flesh, a torment even more terrifying than the pain of rebuilding after the Sword Bone's fracture.

But Ning Qi wasn't worried. Zhuang Chen's nature was far more resilient than before.

He gathered his Divine Intent and, along with the gentle Gang Qi, probed Zhuang Chen's Sword Bone.

Buzz!

After a strange buzzing sound, Ning Qi's spirit trembled. Soon he found himself in a Void Space.

Various Sword Intent floated in the Void Space, stronger than any Sword Intent Ning Qi had ever seen. Even his own Sword Intent seemed insignificant here. Unfortunately, these Sword Intent were quite blurry, as if separated by layers of time and space, preventing detailed perception of their mysteries.

Ning Qi only knew of their strength, but could not investigate what made them strong. He regretted that if he could fully absorb these Sword Intent nutrients, it was unimaginable what heights his Sword Dao could reach.

Meanwhile, he gradually realized:

"Could it be…that these are the Sword Intent of various Innate Sword Bone possessors?"

Just as this thought arose.

The Void Space underwent inexplicable changes.

Various Sword Intent floated back and forth, then displayed similar scenes. The cries of newborn babies sounded, and Ning Qi saw an incredible power from Heaven and Earth entering the bodies of babies being formed in the wombs.

"Is this the truth behind the formation of Innate Sword Bone? Originally, I thought the Innate Sword Bone, like the Heavenly Beast bloodline, might originate from some extremely powerful Sword Dao ancestor from ancient times. But now, it appears not to be so; it's purely of natural and earthly nurturing!"

"From this, it is highly likely that Innate Blade Bone and Innate Spear Bone also exist, just not yet discovered by me."

Ripples arose in Ning Qi's heart.

He surmised that the power entering the infants must be some kind of force related to the Sword Path Origin and the Power of Heaven and Earth, something he could not currently comprehend.

As he continued watching.

His heart was shaken.

He saw from some blurred scenes newborn babies actually absorbing the Power of Heaven and Earth!

"Newly born and able to control the Power of Heaven and Earth? This is precisely what a 'Celestial Being' is! So not only are there naturally favored Heavenly Beasts, but similar existences also reside among the Human Race. Innate Sword Bone possessors are one such, and possibly all humans with special constitutions are like this."

Ning Qi's pupils slightly dilated.

He discovered an incredible secret.

Then he couldn't help but wonder:

"But why isn't Shi like this at all? If he naturally could absorb the Power of Heaven and Earth, he wouldn't possess only this level of power."

Ning Qi was puzzled.

Thoughts continuously flashed through his mind, operating at maximum speed, with various information flowing within. Suddenly, a terrifying speculation arose within him:

"Could it be…some changes occurred in the world preventing the later-born Innate Sword Bone from possessing the ability to absorb the Power of Heaven and Earth, leaving only a Sword Dao enhancement?"

This explanation seemed most reasonable.

Ning Qi recalled the great terror perceived by both him and the Blade Demon, exhaling deeply.

The truth was getting closer.

The disappearance of Heavenly Beasts, the changes in Innate Sword Bone, a great terror from the world itself, all three must be linked somehow.

"What exactly has changed?"

Ning Qi continued watching.

The Void Space calmed down again, and unlike the Resonating White Ape Bloodline experience, he wasn't forcibly 'ejected', which surprised him. Perhaps this was due to their differing origins, but this was beneficial. When the Void Space settled, a peculiar wave gradually emanated.

Ning Qi carefully sensed it, gradually feeling delight.

This peculiar wave indeed contained the innate abilities of the Innate Sword Bone.

"Innate Divine Sword Qi? This is the powerful capability contained within the Innate Sword Bone, comparable to the natural Golden Pupil of Illusion-breaking, yet to transform it into a controllable Secret Technique requires effort."

However, Ning Qi had confidence. For him, it wasn't too difficult, especially with nearly a ready-made template.

He needed to turn an innate talent into an acquirable Secret Technique, a task tiresome for others but doable for Ning Qi.

In the midst of comprehension.

The Void Space shook, ending Ning Qi's resonance state.

It wasn't that his Divine Intent gave way, but rather Zhuang Chen fell into unconsciousness.

Ning Qi chuckled.

After checking Zhuang Chen's body and confirming nothing was wrong, he relaxed. To Zhuang Chen, it was advantageous, as each resonance increased control over his Innate Sword Bone.

Moreover, once Ning Qi developed the Innate Divine Sword Qi Secret Technique, Zhuang Chen could awaken his Sword Bone's innate ability early, exceeding the White Ape, who had long mastered the Golden Pupil of Illusion-breaking.

After having the White Ape settle Zhuang Chen, Ning Qi pondered carefully on the Golden Pupil of Illusion-breaking and Innate Divine Sword Qi, these two innate abilities.

He made a decision.

After converting these two innate talents into controllable Secret Techniques, he would go down the mountain to pursue enemies.

The Demon Sect and Southern Border had deep reserves, unknown if they possessed methods surpassing the Celestial Human Realm; naturally, enhancing his strength was the safest route, lest he fall into the enemy's trap.

Time slowly passed.

Another half month went by.

Ning Qi's progress in researching the two innate abilities was encouraging, especially with the Innate Divine Sword Qi. Due to his Divine Intent's endurance, it succeeded first.

Today, with the Golden Pupil of Illusion-breaking Secret Technique also successfully created.

Ning Qi's goal was finally achieved.
