Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 482: Chapter 242 Reincarnation, Born in Beixuan Domain_2

Hou Yuan pondered carefully, clutching the Treasure Pearl to his chest, his gaze filled with greed and fervor:

"This is the foundation of my path to enlightenment. If I can understand its essence, reaching the Primordial Spirit Realm in the future is not out of the question, and perhaps even the Realm of Great Power!"

He concealed his emotions and quietly retreated, his face full of frustration and anger from having gained nothing. As a loose cultivator like him, it was common not to arouse suspicion.

But just a thousand miles outside the Black Demon Sect.

Hou Yuan’s body froze in place, a powerful Primordial Spirit Power locking onto him. He turned his head with difficulty, only to see a smiling white-bearded elder watching him calmly, his gaze tinged with satisfaction.

"Li... True Monarch Li!" Hou Yuan stammered.

Li Linghe stroked his beard and said:

"True Monarch Li’s patience was well-founded. The traces inside the Black Demon Sect weren’t the slaughter of some Great Power, but rather the Black Demon True Monarch’s intentional use of a Blood Sacrifice Array to wage war on that small world. Am I correct?"

He was proficient in arrays. That day, after infiltrating the Black Demon Sect, he noticed something amiss, but he did not reveal it. Instead, he corroborated the claim of a Great Power wiping out the Black Demon Sect, and then through the cultivators’ battle, all traces were erased.

Afterward, he quietly lay in wait here.

He was secretly searching, observing numerous loose cultivators, hoping to use them to find the world coordinates.

And now.

Heaven does not miss those who work hard. There has finally been a harvest.

"Yet True Monarch did not expect it wasn’t some fortunate loose cultivator who discovered it, but rather you, the Black Demon Sect’s remnant."

Hou Yuan had a moment of inspiration and knelt down, shouting:

"True Monarch, you are indeed a divine prophet!"

"Within this Treasure Pearl are the coordinates of World 1673 Jiazi. Today, Hou Yuan offers this treasure to True Monarch. Please accept it with a smile. Often in the Black Demon Sect, I would hear the old Black Demon ghost talk about True Monarch’s array skills reaching the heavens. Today, I see it is true, only now do I understand that old ghost’s shallow insight. How could someone like True Monarch be criticized by him?"

"Having witnessed True Monarch’s prowess, Hou Yuan is utterly devoted and wishes to serve by True Monarch’s side in the future. Please, True Monarch, have mercy!"

He sobbed and offered the treasure.

Li Linghe looked at the cunning fox-like Hou Yuan with a smile. How could he not see through such petty thoughts? It was all just to save his life. But he had no intention of killing Hou Yuan. Casually, he implanted a restriction in Hou Yuan’s mind, and with a smile said:

"Very well, seeing your cleverness, you will be my sixteenth disciple from now on."

Hou Yuan was overjoyed:

"Disciple greets Master!"

He carefully stood up and asked:

"Master, when do you plan to conquer World 1673 Jiazi? Disciple suspects that this realm holds a great secret, which has since caused both the Golden Spirit Sect and the Black Demon Sect to falter. It’s not simple. If Master can gain its secrets, you will surely become an Ancestor of a region!"

Li Linghe glanced at him with a half-smile:

"Why rush? The current situation is turbulent; let’s wait until the storm passes to study it slowly. One who achieves great things must have patience. What’s waiting a few hundred years?"

Hou Yuan quickly bowed his head.

He felt despondent, realizing how cautious Li Linghe was, not giving any chance, making it likely he would be under control for life.

Li Linghe laughed heartily:

"Good disciple, come, let’s return to the Heavenly Gang Sect together!"

As they both departed, they failed to see a mark faintly flicker deep within Hou Yuan’s body.

...

True Martial Realm.

Ning Qi looked at the ten thousand cultivators before him and nodded with satisfaction. Among them were many familiar faces who participated in the great battle with Black Demon Mountain. Those ancient saints had almost all arrived, as well as many disciples of the True Martial Immortal Sect, including Taoist Longshan and Ye Qinghe. Only Luo Wentian was absent; he chose to guard the True Martial Immortal Sect to prevent any disturbances.

These people were carefully selected by Ning Qi and came voluntarily.

"Do you already know the purpose of this journey?" Ning Qi asked calmly.

All replied respectfully:

"We are fully aware. Please give us your instructions, Realm Lord!"

They were extremely excited, as reincarnating to the Mountain and Sea Realm was such a unique experience, and any achievements would bring immense benefits.

Ning Qi slowly nodded.

"If so, then enter the Enlightenment Realm Tree."

Upon hearing this, they all sat cross-legged without hesitation.

In an instant.

Streams of Realm Power wrapped around them, forming cocoons of light, merging with the invisible Enlightenment Realm Tree, and then the cocoons flew into the tree, hanging among its branches like fruits from afar.

Ning Qi’s authoritative voice echoed in their minds:

"Remember well, this time into the Mountain and Sea Realm is only a soul fragment journey. If you accidentally fall, though there will be some loss, the Enlightenment Realm Tree will replenish your origin, so there’s no need to worry. However, you won’t be able to return to the Mountain and Sea Realm again in a short time."

"Moreover, your reincarnated body’s cultivation in the Mountain and Sea Realm will be infused into your original body by the Realm Tree accordingly."

"The purpose of this journey is to expand your own strength at all costs while securing everything related to the Rule Origin for our True Martial Realm. You will be illuminated by the light of the Enlightenment Realm Tree, significantly enhancing your comprehension."

"Act cautiously and remember, do not reveal any information related to the True Martial Realm without my direct contact. Otherwise, there will be a punishment of spirit soul extinction."

Everyone felt a chill in their hearts:

"We will remember!"

They were well aware of the advantages and disadvantages of reincarnating into the Mountain and Sea Realm and had already prepared for it by coming here.

Ning Qi gently waved his hand, and a faint brilliance emerged from the Enlightenment Realm Tree, resonating with the Mountain and Sea Realm’s imprint.

"Soul fragmentation!"

The cultivators felt a tearing sensation, and their consciousness underwent a miraculous change. One part remained on the Enlightenment Realm Tree while another part ascended higher, with the Mountain and Sea Realm’s imprints integrating into it.

"This reincarnation starts from infancy, remember."

Anticipation rose within their hearts.

This was destined to be a marvelous journey, and they were filled with reverence for Ning Qi, whose formidable power seemed unbelievable.

Globes of light ascended into the sky, with special passages constructed, and then they surged into the Mountain and Sea Realm through the connection between the True Martial Realm and the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Wow!

Tens of thousands of light masses scattered across hundreds of Immortal Domains in the Mountain and Sea Realm.

To descend precisely in any particular area would require too much effort and was unnecessary. With the current layout in the Mountain and Sea Realm, it was natural to have an all-around approach. As for Beixuan Domain, some trails were left, and Ning Qi planned to go personally.

Watching all cultivators’ reincarnated soul fragments descend into the Mountain and Sea Realm, Ning Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

This reincarnation technique consumed a lot of energy, drawing from the Martial Saint’s reincarnation technique, the Enlightenment Realm Tree’s capabilities, and part of the Heaven-Reaching Mirror’s exquisite uses. Finally, by aligning the natural connection between the True Martial Realm and the Mountain and Sea Realm, success was achieved.

The choice to let the True Martial Realm’s entities start from infancy was to minimize hostility from the Mountain and Sea Realm’s will, as everyone was merely in disguise, not true Mountain and Sea Realm beings.

With experience, they could gradually allow True Martial Realm reincarnators to retain more of their cultivation in the future.

After carefully sensing and confirming no issues, Ning Qi’s smile slowly formed:

"From now on, you’ll be on your own with the wisdom and cultivation experience of living another life, and the Enlightenment Realm Tree’s comprehension boost. Unless luck is terrible at the outset, you’ll certainly rise."

"I wonder what it will be like to meet again in the Mountain and Sea Realm?"

He found it quite amusing.

Meeting again in another world was naturally a special experience. Before this journey, he laughed and made appointments with Ye Qinghe, Zhuang Chen, and others to see who would achieve greater accomplishments in the Mountain and Sea Realm upon meeting again.

In this, Ning Qi naturally had absolute confidence.

No matter how others could leverage the Enlightenment Realm Tree, it was a mere version of what he had, whereas Ning Qi was the complete, original version.

Not to mention, he had the achievements of the Realm Lord cultivation system, which from any perspective was a crushing victory.

With a slight smile, he brushed aside distracting thoughts.

In the inner world, Realm Power gathered around Ning Qi, enveloping him. In the next moment, light blossomed, and a fragment of his soul rose swiftly, much like others before, but for Ning Qi, it was much easier. His physical body walking the mortal world was a soul fragment after all; he was well-versed in this.

The soul fragment quickly reached the Mountain and Sea Realm, melting into invisibility like water into the sea in an instant.

The Beixuan Domain’s power imprint guided Ning Qi, leading him to descend rapidly in that direction.

An intent of the world descended, and Ning Qi’s consciousness gradually blurred.

When awareness returned, he found himself already reborn as an infant.

A faint smile appeared in his heart:

"Mountain and Sea Realm, Beixuan Domain, I, Ning Qi, have arrived!"
