Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 516: Chapter 258: Bestowing the Dharma, True Inheritor Ranking

The former first True Disciple, Ye Chen, was confined outside the Five Elements Peak, and this news once again secretly spread throughout the Infinite Sword Sect.

Everyone always harbored a sense of disdain towards Ye Chen.

Previously, when Ye Chen was the first True Disciple, everyone didn’t notice many flaws in him.

Even if there were, they would be automatically beautified.

But now, the Immortal Species Ning Qi effortlessly confined him, defeating him twice like cutting down grass with a sword.

Only then did everyone realize that the first True Disciple should have been someone like Ning Qi all along.

Compared to Ye Chen, Ning Qi always gave everyone a feeling of transcendent grace.

In dealing with the Elders and the Sect Leader, he was neither servile nor overbearing, and towards those beneath him, he was as gentle as the wind, always striving to protect them.

If in the future, the Infinite Sword Sect’s Sect Leader is chosen from the Top Ten True Inheritance, everyone would naturally prefer someone like Ning Qi to be selected.

After all, no one would want a Sect Leader like Ye Chen, who treated someone like Wang Ye, ranked ninth among the True Disciples, as a dog; one can only imagine how he treated others.

Of course, the Sect Leader’s position, which they regarded as unattainably high, might not even concern Ning Qi, as his vision had already transcended the structure of the Infinite Sword Sect.

He wasn’t competing for the Sect Leader position as Ye Chen and others thought, they were merely troubling themselves needlessly.

As for Wang Ye leaving Wind Thunder Peak, aside from the Ye Family members, everyone else felt he was exceptionally decisive.

His actions even prompted more people to consider following Ning Qi and joining his Five Elements Peak.

...

After incorporating Wang Ye into the Five Elements Peak, Ning Qi left all affairs to Qin Minghao and went into seclusion again.

Gazing at the purple and cyan Spirit Swords floating before him, Ning Qi’s eyes shone with golden light, and his Primordial Spirit Power penetrated the swords, meticulously comprehending the traces of Power of Rules contained within them.

This pair of Spirit Swords was a lower-grade Spiritual Treasure that the Ye Family had painstakingly acquired for Ye Chen, highly compatible with Ye Chen’s Wind Thunder Sword Body.

The Ye Family played a good hand, but now they have fallen into Ning Qi’s possession.

Ye Chen probably couldn’t comprehend the Power of Rules within to ascend to the Void Path Realm, but Ning Qi might take the lead, leaving Ye Chen feeling frustrated again.

Ning Qi’s Primordial Spirit Power and the Spiritual Qi within him surged into the Purple and Cyan Twin Swords, instantly causing sword Qi to burst forth, piercing into the sky.

The Wind Thunder Power contained within was simultaneously unleashed, with blue and purple reflecting each other, making the chamber appear as if attending to a heavenly transformation.

The sound of wind and thunder grew loud, and the fierce aura seemed capable of slicing through the void.

"Good swords!"

Ning Qi’s eyes gleamed as he praised them.

What he valued wasn’t the swords’ momentum, but the Power of Rules within them.

With wind and thunder enhancing each other, both excel at attack, valuing speed, and if they cooperate, or even fuse, the power unleashed would be unimaginable.

The Five Elements Power that Ning Qi showcased could cycle in mutual generation and restriction.

Ning Qi thought that, in time, upon obtaining the Rule Origin of the Sword, incorporating it into the True Martial Realm could ensure balance within rules.

But it didn’t mean Ning Qi was satisfied; he needed the Wind Thunder Rules as well.

The myriad of rules is essential for the advancement of the True Martial Realm.

By understanding various Powers of Rules sooner, Ning Qi could choose the easiest rule to grasp.

With the help of insight, once understanding one rule, it would be like opening a path through the boundless wilderness of rules, paving the way for advancement, making the others easily accessible.

Ning Qi calmed his mind, attaining a state of emptiness in body and mind, immersing himself in comprehending the Power of Rules upon the Purple and Cyan Twin Swords.

He even released the Golden Sun Sword gifted by Cang Wanhe for comparison and analysis together.

For quite a long time, nobody knew how much time had passed.

Ning Qi’s eyes reflected three colors, which slowly dissipated.

Under the powerful insights and the aid of the Enlightenment Realm Tree, Ning Qi created several more Divine Techniques.

One was the Golden Sun Breaking Dawn, an advancement upon the Yin Yang Sword Path he taught Qin Minghao.

Qin Minghao currently only mastered the Yin and Yang Sword Path of black and white energies, but Ning Qi’s created Divine Technique trended toward Tao Principles, a sword strike manifesting as daybreak, with black and white switching places.

This truly echoed the saying: the marvel of creation manifests divine wonder, dividing yin and yang, splitting dusk and dawn.

Another was the Wind Wings and Thunder Feathers, a rare Divine Technique created by Ning Qi that combines speed with offense and defense.

...

Finally, Ning Qi thought of Wang Ye, who joined the Five Elements Peak.

Being the ninth True Disciple, Wang Ye voluntarily defected from Wind Thunder Peak, offending Ye Chen and the Ye family to seek refuge with him, displaying a do-or-die resolve.

Regardless, Ning Qi had to offer something in return, ensuring this ninth True Disciple gains something significant, unlike Ye Chen who merely painted a pie in the sky.

Perhaps, in the future, it will cause others within the Top Ten True Inheritance to be impatient, seeking refuge in his Five Elements Peak.

Wang Ye’s desire was merely to perfect the Three-headed Six-armed Soldier Fiend Body, which was not difficult at all.

Ning Qi not only easily perfected Wang Ye’s Three-headed Six-armed Soldier Fiend Body but also prepared future versions.

Three heads and six arms not enough?

How about ten arms, if ten arms are not enough, then a hundred arms, Ning Qi even already decided on the final form, a thousand arms!

...

After Wang Ye joined the Five Elements Peak, the atmosphere there surprised him.

Unlike Ye Chen’s Wind Thunder Peak, the True Disciples on the Five Elements Peak, besides their own cultivation times, frequently pulled individuals for sparring as soon as they met them.

For example:

"Senior Brother Li, don’t leave, I recently had a revelation, spar with me for a few moves."

"Heh, I also just made a breakthrough, why don’t we confirm each other’s insights!"

"Hey, Junior Brother Sha, you’re leaving in such a hurry, are you looking for someone to cultivate with?"

"Recently, I’ve gained insights, Senior Brother Zhang, do you share similar intentions?"
