Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 496: Chapter 248: The Twelve Sects Attack the True Martial Realm

All eyes were on the Heavenly Gang Sect, and even Wind Thunder True Monarch and others felt heavy-hearted. They were unaware of the incident where disciples of the Infinite Sword Sect died at the Heavenly Gang Sect; they simply thought this True Inheritor of the Infinite Sword Sect, Ning Qi, had come for the small world coordinates.

Everyone inwardly cursed the Heavenly Gang Sect; if a treasure was placed in the Chu Kingdom’s Immortal Cultivation Realm, it would have been assimilated quietly, and yet they carelessly attracted a supreme being.

Simultaneously, they also secretly cursed Ning Qi; as a true inheritor of an upper sect, was there any divine technique or treasure he did not possess? Why insist on competing with them for such insignificant scraps?

Jiang Chenghuan trembled and, along with many disciples of the Heavenly Gang Sect, stepped forward:

"We have met True Inheritor Ning!"

His attitude was exceptionally respectful.

At this moment, he could only face it head-on, holding onto a sliver of hope that perhaps the other party was unaware of the matter.

Ning Qi said nothing, but Qin Minghao was already furious, his gaze like a sword, seemingly piercing through the Sect Protection Array:

"Audacious! Senior Brother Ning is present, how dare you not open the Sect Protection Array promptly to respond!"

The true disciples all exuded aura, glaring angrily at the Heavenly Gang Sect; such behavior was tantamount to blasphemy, causing colors to change among those of the Heavenly Gang Sect and others.

Jiang Chenghuan hesitated slightly, and Qin Minghao had already bowed and said:

"Senior Brother Ning, may this junior borrow the Spirit Sword for a moment!"

His cultivation was commendable, but single-handedly cleaving open the great array was still a difficult task; however, with the Spirit Sword’s reinforcement, things would be different.

Ning Qi raised an eyebrow:

"Granted."

With a wave of his hand, a dazzling Spirit Sword, as radiant as a golden sun, hovered in mid-air, garnering both envy and awe from the many True Monarchs in the Primordial Spirit Realm. This was the true inheritor of an upper sect, casually lending a spiritual treasure some loose cultivator great powers would not have access to.

The sword’s edge was sharp, its blade exhaling frosty brilliance.

The heads of Heavenly Gang Sect felt numb, and Jiang Chenghuan hurriedly gestured:

"Quickly open the array!"

Li Linghe dared not hesitate, forming spells with his hands, causing the previously layered clouds to gradually dissipate, revealing the full view of the Heavenly Gang Sect. Bereft of the Sect Protection Array’s shelter, the individuals of the Heavenly Gang Sect bore the pressure of those True Monarchs in the Primordial Spirit Realm, their bodies taut and their magical power slightly stagnant.

But the oppressive feeling brought by Ning Qi was overwhelming.

Jiang Chenghuan dared not delay, otherwise, there would be no turning back in this matter.

He stepped forward, bowing and explaining urgently:

"Please quell your anger, True Inheritor Ning, it was not disrespect but a necessity; they gathered here at the Heavenly Gang Sect, intending to break in and attack the sect, forcing me to be more cautious. I hope True Inheritor Ning understands!"

Wind Thunder True Monarch cursed inwardly.

Qin Minghao snorted coldly, retreating respectfully behind Ning Qi.

Ning Qi cast his gaze downward, looking at Jiang Chenghuan calmly:

"Do you know why I’ve come to your Heavenly Gang Sect?"

The few True Monarchs of the Heavenly Gang Sect felt their scalps tingle, their bodies stiffening in an instant, with their Primordial Spirits ready to launch a devastating strike.

Jiang Chenghuan bore the brunt, feeling like a mountain was pressing on him.

Yet, at this critical moment, a series of images flashed through his mind, recalling the abrupt arrival of the four Infinite Sword Sect disciples; the timing of this True Inheritor Ning’s appearance was impeccably orchestrated.

His intuition was clear, and a Treasure Pearl emitting a faint glow appeared in his hand.

"Forgive me, True Inheritor Ning! I accidentally came across small world coordinates and intended to offer them to you. Troubling you to come in person is my fault!"

His attitude was overwhelmingly humble.

Sweat covered his palms.

At this moment, he recalled so much, the myriad disturbances in the Chu Kingdom’s Immortal Cultivation Realm over recent years, and inexplicably, much intelligence fell into others’ hands, case after case, event after event. In reflection, it was chilling to realize; the True Inheritor Ning seemed to transform into a supreme giant, gazing down upon the Chu Kingdom’s Immortal Cultivation Realm.

His inner heart brimmed with reverence, merely holding up the Treasure Pearl respectfully with both hands, raising it above his head.

Every gaze was fixed, confirming that the small world coordinates, which led to the Black Demon Sect’s demise, were indeed in the Heavenly Gang Sect’s hands. Yet as this thought arose, Wind Thunder True Monarch and others wore grim expressions, knowing the arrival of Ning Qi, this supreme being, was unlikely to end without loss.

An Infinite Sword Sect true inheritor snorted:

"Mere small world coordinates, do you think our Senior Brother Ning is that kind of person?"

His gaze, like a sword, severed inappropriate emotions.

Jiang Chenghuan grew anxious and, facing Ning Qi’s calm gaze, explained urgently:

"Please quell your anger, True Inheritor Ning, these small world coordinates are not simple. In the Chu Kingdom’s Immortal Cultivation Realm, two sects, the Golden Spirit Sect and Black Demon Sect, have been annihilated trying to conquer this small world. These sects are not weak, each with about ten True Monarchs in the Primordial Spirit Realm."

"Oh?" Ning Qi’s gaze flickered.

Hou Minghao and others also developed interest.

Even being from an upper sect, they were aware that such deeply rooted sects readily conquering a small world was expected, but the emerging issues suggested that this small world was unusual, potentially harboring opportunities!

Jiang Chenghuan steadied his heart, continuing to explain:

"From our deductions, the world’s consciousness in this small world likely gained intelligence, prompting the Black Demon Sect to desperately sacrifice themselves in blood to enter, only for an unforeseen twist to lead to their total demise. However, with True Inheritor Ning here now, victory is all but assured!"

Everyone breathed rapidly.

A world’s consciousness gaining intelligence; sacrificing such a small world could be worth a hundred ordinary ones.

Even several true inheritors of the Infinite Sword Sect couldn’t hide the glint in their eyes.

"Congratulations, Senior Brother Ning!" they humbly called out in low voices.

Qin Minghao felt a wave within, recalling Ning Qi’s request years ago for information about the Chu Kingdom’s Immortal Cultivation Realm. He knew that Senior Brother Ning likely knew everything, and his heart swelled with utmost reverence. The closer he stayed by Ning Qi’s side, the more he realized his unfathomable depth.
