Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 1103: Chapter 481: Meeting Ning Qi Is Like Seeing the Great Dao

Lin Chen unleashed his most proficient assassination technique, the Immortal-Slaying Art!

He didn’t mind being the villain if it meant reclaiming the remnants of Buzhou Mountain, their hope and freedom.

Ning Qi and Wei Immortal both swore a divine oath on the Immortal Path, and Wei Immortal had already conceded.

But Lin Chen was not convinced.

He hadn’t sworn the divine oath, so even though Wei Immortal had to concede, he still had a chance to change it all.

Lin Chen’s body completely faded, no trace of him could be found in the Sea of Realms.

A formidable spiritual sense condensed into a blade with the intent to slay immortals, aimed instantly toward the three distracted by the remnants of Buzhou Mountain.

What is called spiritual sense naturally is the consciousness born of a cultivator after becoming an immortal.

A cultivator below immortals possesses spiritual sense, while immortals possess the divine sense.

Once a cultivator becomes immortal, not only does the body transform into an immortal body, but the soul also undergoes a complete change into divine sense.

Only a faint mark flashed across the Sea of Realms.

The powerful killing intent was restrained yet ready to strike, not targeting the Sea of Realms but heading towards Ning Qi and his companions.

“No!”

Lin Chen heard the sound of Wei Immortal’s objection from behind.

But he had already made his move; how could he return empty-handed?

Once action is taken, there’s no turning back—a lesson learned from the ghosts that murdered his family!

The remnants of Buzhou Mountain continued to drift toward Ning Qi, but the blade of intent formed by the divine sense was faster, surging toward Ning Qi at the front like lightning.

Ning Qi felt as if a shadowy cloud was binding his body, but these restraints only limited his physical form, as the true deadly move had already reached his soul.

Ning Qi tightly closed his eyes.

Behind him, the Saint Ancestor and Sea Ancestor reacted immediately, preparing to attack Wei Immortal.

Opposite, Wei Immortal didn’t move and gestured apologetically:

“I conceded, I won’t make another move. You can capture me if you wish, it’s just that…”

He looked at Ning Qi, a plea appearing on his slightly haggard face.

“Ning Qi, if you can still hear me, please don’t kill him. He’s the last brother I have in this world.”

Ning Qi kept his eyes shut, his temple throbbing, indicating the turmoil in his mind.

In this boundless sea of consciousness, Lin Chen had already broken in.

His divine sense, honed like an Immortal Blade, appeared in Ning Qi’s consciousness, cleaving straight toward the core.

As long as Ning Qi’s consciousness is extinguished, he could alter everything.

To Lin Chen’s surprise, upon entering Ning Qi’s consciousness, he discovered something terrifying.

For Ning Qi’s consciousness was not divine sense, but spiritual sense!

Lin Chen clearly distinguished the difference between divine sense and spiritual sense; the disparity is vast.

Divine sense inherently carries mighty immortal power, transcending the world, lofty and inviolable.

Spiritual sense, in quality, is inferior, akin to raw iron compared to aetherium steel.

This realization made Lin Chen suddenly aware of an issue: it seemed Ning Qi had not become an immortal.

But how could that be possible?

If Ning Qi hadn’t become immortal, then where did the immortal power surrounding him come from?

The golden immortal radiance, the golden body, clearly indicated the manifestation of opening the Immortal Door.

Lin Chen was a bit confused; he didn’t have time to ponder more.

If Ning Qi hadn’t become immortal, all the better; divine sense against spiritual sense is like a higher evolutionary being overpowering a lower one, ensuring his victory!

Lin Chen sped through Ning Qi’s sea of consciousness, heading for the core.

“Heh, I’ve been in his sea of spiritual sense for at least ten moments, and he hasn’t moved to defend it yet?”

Lin Chen thought disdainfully.

He dashed forward, expecting a fierce battle with Ning Qi in the sea of consciousness, but surprisingly, after such a long time, Ning Qi hadn’t appeared at all.

Forget cultivators, even mortals, upon sensing something amiss in their mind, have a vigilant curiosity about the source.

The mortal world is rife with seductions, some weak in magical power, follow dark paths, cultivating through devouring vital energy.

The methods involve entering the mortal’s sea of consciousness.

Either they use beauty to confuse, or transform into horrors to disrupt intent, all to make mortals lose alertness toward their consciousness, thus facilitating their actions.

Seductions treat mortals this way, as do cultivators using spiritual sense power against others.

They usually encounter opposition returning defense, yet Lin Chen, after sprinting a long while, didn’t see Ning Qi defending, feeling something was amiss.

Luckily, he seemed to reach the core of Ning Qi’s sea of consciousness, a black spot vaguely visible ahead.

Lin Chen speeded up unconsciously, divine sense swift as wind and lightning, ready to cleave it.

But as the black spot grew larger, Lin Chen had to slow down, halting before it.

Staring dumbstruck ahead, this wasn’t a black spot, nor the core of a sea of consciousness, but a prison.

Inside the prison, an immortal soul was confined.

The soul gazed at him eagerly, softly pleading, “Save me!”

“Who are you?”

Lin Chen’s divine sense reformed his figure, now extremely cautious after discovering such a prison deep in Ning Qi’s sea of consciousness.

The immortal soul was none other than the Mountain Ancestor, trapped by Ning Qi in the cosmic prison; he hadn’t expected someone to break into Ning Qi’s sea of consciousness—could it be a chance to escape?

His immortal body remained; if the immortal soul could escape, he might be resurrected.

“Help me!”

Lin Chen took a step back, scrutinizing the other and the prison.

Upon the prison, two starkly different forces emanated, subtly unnerving him.

Yet, if he exerted all his power, he could probably break the prison and release whoever was inside.
