Cultivating with Top Enlightenment-Chapter 827 - 349: Withered Leaf Exotic Treasure (Part 2)
Just in time to gain some favor from the Sea Ancestor.
Thus, Ning Qi once again led his assembled forces on a journey.
Following the previous procedure, he completely conquered the entire southwestern War Realm.
During this, an unexpected incident occurred.
As they were occupying the last small domain, a door suddenly opened in the Western Boundary Wall.
It seemed to be trying to rescue the cultivators of the Vast Realm they were attacking.
So Ning Qi intentionally allowed a Domain Master who was dueling with Zhu Yanchuan to escape, and ingeniously made a Compass fall from Zhu Yanchuan, letting the other obtain it.
The Compass was actually remade by Ning Qi, with the method of its creation hidden on the back specially.
Of course, Ning Qi used concealment to fool everyone except for the Domain Master who thought he had snatched something significant at the last moment.
After thoroughly conquering the southwestern War Realm, Ning Qi was about to temporarily consolidate his forces.
The Mountain and Sea Realm Will’s shadow advised him to be cautious, saying that the Vast Realm Will and the Saint Ancestor had laid some kind of method within the Western Realm.
Meanwhile, the space stability of the Southern War Realm had also reached its final moment, and the first batch of Unity Realm cultivators was about to enter the War Realm.
...
Just as Ning Qi completely secured the southern and southwestern domains.
Within the Mountain and Sea Realm.
The Sea Ancestor eyed the War Realm with a rare trace of a smile.
She suddenly felt that seizing the Profound Truth Realm from the Mountain Ancestor, forcing Ning Qi to succumb, was truly a gainful move.
Indeed, Ning Qi directly helped her capture two domains and saved many of her subordinate cultivators inside.
If Ning Qi were still on the Mountain Ancestor’s side, wouldn’t those saved be under the Mountain Ancestor?
Overall, Ning Qi not only helped prevent damage to her subordinate cultivators but also indirectly weakened the Mountain Ancestor’s forces.
Now, the Mountain and Sea Realm Will had informed her that she could soon send Unity Realm cultivators into the Southern Domain.
With the addition of Unity Realm cultivators, the victory of the entire War Realm would tilt towards their side, so truly entering the Vast Realm would be imminent.
On Heaven-Reaching Peak, the Mountain Ancestor was likewise watching the situation within the War Realm. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
His expression now did not look pleasant, especially seeing the Northeastern War Realm completely taken by the Vast Realm Will.
Compared to the light blue domains of the southern and southwestern regions, it was particularly glaring.
He sighed, truly it’s talent that’s most important!
To secure future victories, the Mountain Ancestor even began dispatching Unity Realm cultivators into the War Realm.
However, he planned to send Self-Cutting Unity cultivators to realms not yet taken by the Mountain and Sea Realm Will or where his cultivators were at a disadvantage.
...
In the Vast Realm.
The Saint Ancestor, who had been leisurely staying in the shadows, writing and drawing, now had to return to the forefront.
He summoned the Domain Master of the Vast Immortal Sect and numerous Unity Realm cultivators.
"We can’t let the other side occupy more realms, Zhili, share the information you acquired."
The male figure, condensed from the Vast Realm Will, stood respectfully beside the Saint Ancestor, responding like a student, "Yes, Master."
However, when he turned to face the Sect Leader of the Vast Immortal Sect and the other Unity cultivators, he became exceptionally dignified and inviolable.
The teacher always said, leaders must behave as leaders, and maintain the dignity of the Realm Venerable before others!
When his consciousness was newly born, it was the Saint Ancestor who taught him everything step by step, so he was uniquely special to the Saint Ancestor alone.
And Zhili’s name was also given by the Saint Ancestor, hoping he would understand the way of heaven and earth, and kindly treat the beings within the Vast Realm.
Zhili glanced at everyone and said, "Currently in the War Realm’s nine major domains, the Mountain and Sea Realm has captured two, we have taken one, while the rest of the minor domains are at a disadvantage, at this rate, the Mountain and Sea Realm will surely attack our realm."
Those Unity Realm cultivators who cannot perceive the situation in the War Realm were startled upon hearing this.
"We kindly ask the Saint Ancestor and Realm Venerable to issue orders and reverse the situation!"
Zhili nodded.
He suddenly looked towards the War Realm, with a look of surprise on his face.
"What’s the matter?" the Saint Ancestor asked.
Zhili suddenly beckoned towards the War Realm, as if something flew across the space to him, landing in his hand.
"Master, look!"
Zhili handed the item to the Saint Ancestor.
"What is this?"
Zhili explained, "This is the Compass captured from Ning Qi’s army by the escaping Domain Master from the southwestern War Realm, it can pinpoint the location of all nodes and cultivators within the War Realm when spiritual power is infused, creating a map."
Upon examining the Compass, the Saint Ancestor immediately understood its usage and discovered the method of its creation on the back.
After inspecting it, the Saint Ancestor realized, saying, "No wonder the cultivators of the Mountain and Sea Realm suddenly became so fierce, I wondered what was going on, turns out such a divine artifact exists."
"It’s said this object was crafted by Ning Qi himself and then handed over to the Mountain and Sea Realm Will. The latter produced and distributed it in large quantities to all cultivators in the War Realm, which is why our forces have been increasingly losing ground!"
The Saint Ancestor gazed at the War Realm and sighed lightly.
"I never expected this thing was also made by Ning Qi, regrettably, we couldn’t capture him the first time, trying to catch him later, with the focus of the Mountain and Sea Realm Will, becomes exceedingly difficult."
Having sighed, he immediately instructed, "Summon a group of Artifact Cultivators, quickly produce this item and distribute it among our realm’s cultivators."
"Yes!"
An Integration Realm cultivator, specializing in Artifact Refining, took the Compass from the Saint Ancestor and retreated.
Subsequently, everyone began to discuss further.
"The Mountain and Sea Realm should soon send Unity Realm cultivators in, Master, should we also..."
The Saint Ancestor replied, "Naturally, we shall dispatch personnel as well, however, we must be vigilant of the two domains seized by the Mountain and Sea Realm."
"What do you mean?"
The Saint Ancestor said, "Prepare some Realm-Breaking Pills, hand them to the Integration Extremity Cultivators near those domains, if the enemy attacks, swallow them and break through for combat."
"Master, but the Integration Realm breakthrough will undergo Heavenly Tribulation; isn’t it too risky within the War Realm?" Zhili inquired.
The Saint Ancestor squinted and replied, "We can’t be concerned about that now, undergoing Heavenly Tribulation is better than losing lives. Moreover, if used well, Heavenly Tribulation can be a means of killing the enemy!"
"I understand!"
Everyone discussed a few more matters, then began to execute them.
The Integration Realm cultivators remaining in the two realms also faintly sensed the brewing storm.
...
Within the Mountain and Sea Realm.
In the Fuyao Domain, Si Kongxuan of the Cyan Profound Immortal Sect was filled with immense hatred.
In the Celestial Fire Realm, Domain Masters Fan City, Mu Qingtian, and Jin Guanghua had already used the Life Reviving Pills bestowed by the Mountain Ancestor to restore their sons using preserved soul fragments.
They learned of everything that happened in the War Realm from their sons.
Of course, these fellows naturally wept and accused Ning Qi of many unwarranted crimes.
Fan City and the other two shared a common vendetta, vowing to eradicate Ning Qi and his associates.
Just at this time, all the Unity Realm cultivators received the news that they would soon be able to enter the War Realm.
The Mountain Ancestor ultimately used Self-Cutting Unity cultivators in coordination with Ning Qi’s Compass to resolve a domain of Vast Realm cultivators, seizing a War Realm.
Otherwise, he would truly lose face.
Regarding the initial candidates, the Mountain Ancestor did not appoint anyone specifically but allowed the fifty Domain Masters of Spirit Domain to volunteer.
Among them, Si Kongxuan and the three from Fan City responded most enthusiastically.
...
Ning Qi remained in the southwestern War Realm, awaiting notification from the Mountain and Sea Realm Will.
During this period, he didn’t idle, using various resources gathered to elevate the Profound Truth Realm army’s strength.
Such extravagant methods naturally made Qi Keqing, Zhu Yanchuan, and the later joiners Ren Boping, Lang Yingying, Jiang Yuyue, and Qing Chulan envious.
They may have envied, but Ning Qi paid no heed.
Firstly, they weren’t truly his subordinates; he had no reason to waste resources on their advancement.
Secondly, as Unity cultivators prepared to enter, the Profound Truth Realm was his conquest, and he had control over its cultivators, but what of these fellows?
Many Immortal sect Unity cultivators backed these guys — was Ning Qi supposed to freely elevate those old guys’ subordinates?
Moreover, Ning Qi had already saved many people and shared plenty of resources from the War Realm with them, having truly reciprocated favor.
Of course, Ning Qi’s own gains far exceeded everyone else’s.
He obtained forty-eight locations of hidden nodes, and incorporating these spaces into the True Martial Realm had already allowed its Rule Origin to surpass two hundred!
Ning Qi’s main body’s strength naturally increased again, and his reincarnated form was poised for a breakthrough to Unity anytime.
However, these matters awaited until the stabilization of the War Realm space.
