Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 1281 - 570: Ten Thousand Swords Sect

"If you want to take a master, you can go to the Ten Thousand Swords Sect."

"I plan to roam the world, to be without a fixed residence."

Ning Qi shook his head, "Moreover, I’m not from this realm; I will soon head to the Sea of Realms."

The simple reply served as a refusal to her request.

After hearing his words, the glimmer of hope in Li Fengrou’s eyes faded away.

In reality, she knew Ning Qi wouldn’t accept her as a disciple just casually.

Even so, she still wanted to try.

"However, if you wholeheartedly assist your imperial sister, she can teach you."

"Because I have already taught her some cultivation techniques."

Ning Qi glanced at her and further reminded, "You’d better not harbor any other thoughts; I’ve left a mark on her."

"If anyone intends harm to her, then not just Yue Country, but your entire realm, I will turn it into dust."

"Thank you for the reminder, Upper Immortal. I will no longer be a threat to my imperial sister."

Li Fengrou quickly nodded, her face full of sincerity.

"That’s good."

"Take care of yourselves."

Ning Qi showed a satisfied expression.

"Then I shall take my leave."

Li Fengrou stood up and respectfully departed.

"Master, that girl is somewhat sly, she actually still wants to become a disciple."

The Medicine Spirit watched her departing figure, commented in a murmuring manner.

"Able to adapt, she’s a fierce character."

"But it doesn’t matter, Li Xiangrou is no longer her former self, especially since she ascended the throne."

"I see her as if she has transformed into another person entirely."

Ning Qi squinted at the distance, "After experiencing certain things and gaining certain resources, a person will completely change."

"Yes, Master, look!"

"She is coming!"

The Medicine Spirit nodded, initially wanting to say more, but quickly pointed ahead.

It was precisely the direction Li Xiangrou was hurrying from.

Clearly, her errands for the day had concluded.

This was why she specifically rushed over to find Ning Qi.

"Yes, it’s time to leave."

Ning Qi had already noticed her arrival.

As he spoke, he also proceeded to move forward.

"Ning Qi."

Upon approaching, Li Xiangrou greeted.

She was now wearing imperial robes, exuding heroic vigor.

Truly possessed the aura of a ruler.

Yet as she approached, she revealed a rare feminine quality.

Ning Qi glanced once, feeling a pang of emotion.

With his departure this time, this essence would likely be permanently sealed within her.

What she must face in the future is the entire world.

And various forces, if Yue Country is to continue thriving, she must first fortify herself.

"Congratulations."

Returning to himself, Ning Qi simply uttered.

"Thank you."

Li Xiangrou expressed gratitude again, "I sensed your presence here; you have always been protecting me."

"Oh? You can sense it? Which means you’ve broken through to True Immortal strength."

Hearing her, Ning Qi immediately understood.

He hadn’t expected her breakthrough to come this swiftly.

"Yes, I didn’t expect it either."

Li Xiangrou nodded, showcasing a smile, "Upon reaching True Immortal strength, everything has changed."

"Indeed, your perception ability."

"Including your learning ability has become enhanced."

"Going forward in Yue Country, you shall be the strongest."

Ning Qi spoke earnestly, "However, now that you bear the mantle of a nation, you must protect it."

"Yes, I understand."

Li Xiangrou nodded again, eyes reflecting reluctance, "Are you... going to leave?"

"Yes, everything has been resolved here, so there is no longer any need for me to stay."

Ning Qi sighed, showing a trace of sentiment.

It was unexpected that he would have such an experience here.

"Can you stay a few more days? I can show you our Immortal Realm in Yue Country."

Li Xiangrou offered.

"You should focus on your state affairs instead."

Ning Qi shook his head with a smile, "I will come back if there is a chance in the future, but not now."

"But..."

Li Xiangrou wanted to say something more.

"Alright, I must bid farewell as well."

But Ning Qi had no inclination to hear further.

He clasped his fists in courtesy to her, slowly flying up into the void.

"Then, see you again."

Li Xiangrou also soared into the air to say goodbye to Ning Qi.

"Farewell."

Ning Qi waved his hand, then turned and flew toward the direction of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

"Master, could it be that girl fancies you!"

The Medicine Spirit glanced back and remarked.

"Don’t talk nonsense."

Ning Qi gave him a white look, "Let’s go, and bid farewell to Miss Xu, then we shall leave here."

"Alright."

The Medicine Spirit agreed, then also looked forward.

That was the direction of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

After the two departed, several powerful auras came exploring again.

However, they dared not probe too close to the Imperial City.

All knew well that a figure supported by an immortal would surely have safeguards left behind.

No one would risk their lives over this place.

They merely wanted to test the waters out of curiosity.

"Boom!"

"Bang!"

Yet, those bold enough had already explored the Imperial City boundaries.

But soon faced backlash, one exploded on the spot, his soul scattered.

Another barely escaped but lost his head.

"From now on, the Yue Imperial City forbids entry to those with True Immortal strength and above."

"Violators shall be executed without mercy."

The next moment, Ning Qi’s cold and merciless voice echoed.

Making those still coveting the place scatter in fear.

"Ning Qi, thank you!"
