Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 1428: Power of Incense (Part 2)

“But if we do that, we’ll be exposed again and attract the attention of the Immortal Race.”

“Yeah, what should we do?”

The Medicine Spirit looked troubled: “We can’t go back again, can we?”

“Then all our efforts would be for nothing.”

Their words made Shi Xiaokun fall silent.

Obviously, he was pondering some issues but hadn’t come up with a solution yet.

“In that case, let’s wait a bit and then leave from here later!”

Ning Qi thought for a moment and said solemnly, “It’s going to get dark soon.”

“Let’s wait and see. Acting when it’s dark won’t be too late.”

“Master, are we really going back then?”

The Medicine Spirit couldn’t help but ask eagerly upon hearing this.

“Yes, only by going back can we safely leave here.”

“Otherwise, we won’t be able to go anywhere.”

Ning Qi nodded and continued, “If we fight again, it’ll just be a waste of effort.”

“You’re right, Master. We should leave the same way we came.”

“They may not keep watching here all the time. We’ll leave when it gets dark; it should be fine!”

Shi Xiaokun nodded, agreeing.

“Alright then, let’s give it a try.”

The Medicine Spirit saw that both of them agreed and felt no need to continue debating.

“Let’s go back to the mountain gate and act when it gets dark.”

With that, Ning Qi headed back toward their mountain gate.

“Master, why don’t we wait for two days?”

The Medicine Spirit suddenly thought of something and proposed.

“No use; tonight is the only chance.”

Ning Qi shook his head: “They’re at their most lax only during these few hours. After tomorrow, they’ll be watching closely.”

“Right, we cannot delay any longer!”

Shi Xiaokun added.

“Let’s go back to the mountain gate!”

Ning Qi said no more, and after a brief call, sped off toward the mountain gate.

Shi Xiaokun hurriedly followed.

“The fierce beasts here must be being bred by someone.”

The Medicine Spirit perched on Ning Qi’s shoulder, analyzing.

“Indeed.”

Shi Xiaokun agreed.

“Yes, quite so.”

Ning Qi responded in agreement and then asked, “By the way, have our people appeared yet?”

He suddenly recalled this matter.

“Master, the first batch has already emerged.”

“I directly created a dreamscape for them, evolving here over hundreds of years.”

“They’ve already gained strength of the Inner Realm from the Outer Realm.”

Shi Xiaokun said, “Several tribes have already appeared, and some have established cities.”

“After evolving for hundreds more years, cultivators will start to appear.”

“Alright, I’ll leave it to you.”

“If there’s Incense Fire Qi, my strength will also advance rapidly, right?”

Ning Qi nodded in satisfaction, then asked.

“That’s correct, plus your Dharma Body will rise too.”

“Reaching the Golden Immortal level relies heavily on the support of the Dharma Body.”

Shi Xiaokun stated seriously.

“That’s good.”

Ning Qi said no more.

Afterward, they returned to the mountain gate together.

Ning Qi found a pavilion and began to meditate with crossed knees.

The night gradually passed.

In the middle of the night, Ning Qi woke from his sleep.

Upon arriving at the mountain gate, he saw Shi Xiaokun was already there.

“Master!”

Seeing Ning Qi arrive, he greeted respectfully.

“Still able to find the exit you used yesterday?”

Ning Qi asked.

“Yes, shall we head out now?”

Shi Xiaokun asked solemnly.

“Yes, there’s now only one more two-hour to daybreak, and now is when they’re most lax.”

Ning Qi looked ahead: “Let’s go, lead the way, we’re departing.”

“Yes!”

Shi Xiaokun accepted the order and began leading the way.

After flying for a while, he stopped.

Ning Qi saw from afar the bodies of two wolves on the ground, clearly where they’d exited before.

“Master, shall we head out now?”

Once Shi Xiaokun stopped, he asked.

“Yes, open it up; we’re heading out!”

Ning Qi nodded and commanded.

“Alright!”

Shi Xiaokun didn’t hesitate; he agreed immediately and opened up the exit.

“Whoosh!”

A gust of wind blew inside.

Ning Qi and he quickly slipped out.

They returned to the place where he previously escaped to.

The night was thick here, and the surroundings reeked of blood.

More notably, the area smelled of being scorched by Chaos Flame, as the forest here had been destroyed.

Ning Qi and Shi Xiaokun stood here gazing out into the distance.

“Master, there are no fierce beasts here, they must have divided territories!”

Shi Xiaokun looked around for a while and then said, “Can’t sense any signs of people; this timing is perfect for us.”

“Okay, let’s go and see how to cross this river!”

After Ning Qi agreed, he continued ahead.

Soon they arrived at the river, and Ning Qi frowned at the sight.

The river looked very turbulent, the earlier rumbling sound was emanating from here.

“Master, crossing this might be tricky; I see a Restriction Array on the river.”

Shi Xiaokun squinted to take a quick look and confirmed the complexity of the river.

“Yes, but no worries, it’s just a river; it won’t impede us.”

Ning Qi scoffed, “Let’s go!”

“Master, crossing like this, won’t they discover us?”

The Medicine Spirit was a bit worried and asked accordingly.

“If they discover, so what? At worst, I’ll use my Immortal Race identity.”

“Remember, my Immortal Race bloodline is purer than that of the Demon Race.”

Ning Qi laughed and said, “I am recognized by Emperor Xi.”

“Right, I almost forgot.”

The Medicine Spirit realized: “We were in the Demon Race before, almost forgot about our identity.”

“Let’s go, see what’s on the other side.”

Ning Qi said no more and focused his gaze ahead.

The river had Restrictions, but it’s no challenge for him.

While speaking, he activated the Dao Pattern and surged forward directly.

In an instant, he broke open the Restrictions here.

But he didn’t destroy them, just enough to let him pass.

Avoiding alerting the enemy, to prevent unnecessary trouble.

After breaking the Restrictions, Ning Qi accelerated suddenly, crossing to the opposite side of the river in the blink of an eye.

Once there, he immediately concealed his aura.

“Whish!”

A gust of wind blew through, setting the air in motion here.

“Nothing much here.”

The Medicine Spirit observed for a while and found nothing unusual, then smiled.

“Don’t be careless; this is Immortal Race territory now.”

After reminding, Ning Qi continued observing the area: “There are fierce beasts here too; getting discovered would be troublesome.”

“Master, should we revert to our original appearances?”

The Medicine Spirit noticed Ning Qi still looked like Thunder Mountain and reminded him.

“Hmm, thanks for reminding me.”

“Let’s revert to my original appearance for now.”

Only then did Ning Qi realize, and quickly changed back to his true form.

Ever since disguising himself as Thunder Mountain, he had forgotten he was in disguise.

“Looks better this way!”

The Medicine Spirit commented in amazement.

“Whoosh!”

Ning Qi exhaled deeply, simultaneously altering his aura.

Restraining Demonic Qi, Immortal Qi surged, the immortal power instantaneously enveloped his whole body.

“Master, what kind of fierce beasts do you think are here?”

“Hopefully not a pack of fierce beasts, that’d be problematic.”

“If we meet fierce beasts here, we can head in a direction towards the Inner Realm, eventually leaving this place.”

The Medicine Spirit began analyzing extensively.

“No rush, we’ll take our time.”

Ning Qi wasn’t worried.

Now he was a person of the Immortal Race.

The soldiers here were numerous; blending in seemed quite feasible.

However, it is best to find a suitable opportunity, otherwise easy to be discovered, which would be troublesome.

“Should we scout ahead or wait for the right time?”

The Medicine Spirit still worried and asked.

“Wait, we act at daybreak!”

“But first, find a safe place.”

Ning Qi looked ahead, speaking in a serious tone.
