Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 524: Chapter 259 Chief_3

It’s because Ning Qi is truly a prodigy!

Ning Qi took a blow from Ye Chen, who was using the dragon scale, without injury, merely being knocked a distance away.

He looked at Ye Chen with interest, speculating about the middle-grade spiritual treasure he used— what kind of existence that scale armor was meant for, and what it would be like if it were complete.

Ye Chen dared not waste time; using this piece of spiritual treasure, every breath felt like it was burning his life force.

Transformed into a giant cyan dragon, he was surrounded by wind; had he not been a Wind Thunder Spirit Body himself, he would not have qualified to use it.

Raising his head, he roared once more, and the thirty-zhang long cyan dragon swept across the sky. In the blink of an eye, it enclosed Ning Qi within its vast body.

Simultaneously, the cyan dragon opened its huge mouth to bite at Ning Qi in the center, its four claws also making a move, slicing through the void with ease.

That was not all; the massive body of the cyan dragon tightened and compressed, its tail like a mountain, sweeping horizontally toward Ning Qi.

Even more terrifying was that many people seemed to perceive a hint of the Wind Rule amidst it, though it had not truly formed.

This scene was enough to be fearsome; the dragon body stirring— even one of the central peaks of the Infinite Sword Sect would be completely annihilated facing this blow.

The true disciples below watched in shock, just wanting to know how Ning Qi would respond.

As all of the cyan dragon’s attacks were about to fall upon Ning Qi, changes finally appeared on Ning Qi’s body.

Two more colors suddenly emerged in his surrounding Five-Colored Divine Light, one cyan and one purple.

In the blink of an eye, they drilled out from his back, transforming into a pair of massive wings!

The wings were interwoven with cyan and purple hues, yet they were different from each other.

One wing had a cyan bone, with wind essence, and purple feathers, generating thunder; the other wing was the opposite, with thunder as the bone and cyan wind as the feathers.

It was the Divine Technique he comprehended a year ago— Wind Wings and Thunder Feathers!

The wings towered like clouds, soaring skyward the moment they emerged from Ning Qi’s body.

With a flap of the dual wings, like a pair of sharp scissors, they sliced the approaching cyan dragon into many segments, dispersing them into the void.

Ye Chen’s silhouette fell out of the cyan dragon, plummeting straight down.

With eyes wide in unwillingness, Ye Chen stared at Ning Qi, never expecting this outcome.

He had used every means at his disposal, including the incomplete middle-grade spiritual treasure, yet he was defeated even faster!

Why?

What frustrated him even more was Ning Qi’s final move!

Ning Qi looked down upon him, and the residual bodies of the cyan dragon transformed into strands of spiritual qi gathering on his Wind Wings and Thunder Feathers.

Everyone present was astonished. What did they witness?

"Isn’t Senior Brother Ning known as the Five Elements Sword Monarch? Why didn’t we see him use the Five Elements Sword Qi?" someone asked in confusion.

Another replied bitterly, "Does it matter now? Didn’t you see Senior Brother Ning using Wind Thunder Power?"

"Indeed, using Wind Thunder Power to defeat the Wind Thunder Spirit Body, this.... I almost want to cry for Ye Chen!"

"Senior Brother Ning is too much of a prodigy. Now I understand why Supreme Elder Ziyang said he was an immortal species."

True Man Ziyang, Cang Wanhe, and other great powers exchanged glances, a hint of excitement in their eyes.

The Infinite Sword Sect producing a disciple like Ning Qi meant there would be great rewards in the Profound Truth Secret Realm this time.

Ye Chen slammed onto the plaza below, instantly piercing a large pit.

Lying at the bottom of the pit, he continued to gaze at Ning Qi, seeing him withdraw his magical power and sit on the First True Inheritor’s throne that rightfully belonged to him.

At this moment, Ye Chen felt as if he were in a dream.

"Damn it, what are you doing? Are you going to bring disgrace to the Ye Family? If you lose the first, there’s still the second!"

The cold voice of Supreme Elder Ye Qingtian rang in Ye Chen’s mind. Ye Chen squinted, as if the blazing sun in the sky stung his eyes.

A mist covered his eyes, disappearing in the blink of an eye, and he rose into the air, taking a deep breath.

Ye Chen looked at Jiang Qingxue seated on the Second True Inheritor’s position, his face somber, and then he spoke:

"Junior Sister Jiang, please enlighten me!"

Ye Chen’s voice was much lower; before the battle with Ning Qi, the face and the Ye Family he mentioned seemed to have been completely forgotten, leaving only the heavy word in his heart: defeat.

Jiang Qingxue didn’t say much, directly rising into the air, standing opposite Ye Chen.

A chill emanated from her body, a layer of ice armor forming on her surface, her spirit sword hanging in air, emanating white frost.

Ye Chen looked down at the dragon scale on his chest, once again channeling all his power into it.

Having lost to Ning Qi, he could not afford to lose again!

He aimed to vent all his frustration from the defeat onto Jiang Qingxue.

The Cyan Dragon appeared once again, and Ye Chen didn’t know if he should be grateful to Ning Qi.

After all, Ning Qi had defeated him swiftly, allowing him to still have the strength to use this scale.

Ye Chen did not hesitate, as the Cyan Dragon moved across the sky around his body, attacking Jiang Qingxue with the same technique.

At the center, Jiang Qingxue sighed softly, the Spirit Sword exuding white frost suspended in front of her was clasped in her right hand.

From her left hand, a slender white finger suddenly held a piece of Hexagonal Frost.

Jiang Qingxue placed the Hexagonal Frost against the center of her forehead, and waves of Frost Power surged from within her, rushing up like a great ocean, while also spreading out flatly.

Vaguely, it seemed as if a Frost Giant Sword pierced the sky and froze the void.

The open giant mouth of the cyan dragon, its swinging claws, and its swinging tail were all frozen and shattered by the Frost Giant Sword!

If it weren’t for the scale armor covering Ye Chen, he might not have escaped severe injury.

With one sword strike, Ye Chen was defeated once again, his rank in the True Disciple list dropped to the third position!

Ye Chen was so angry he almost spat blood, but he was helpless.

He never expected Jiang Qingxue also had a damaged mid-grade Spiritual Treasure.

His mentality was already unstable, and two consecutive defeats dealt a heavy blow to Ye Chen.

Fortunately, none of the other members of the Top Ten True Inheritance had any thoughts of challenging him.

After all, Ye Chen had not lost his combat power, whether it was Ning Qi or Jiang Qingxue, both finished him off quickly and stopped after one defeat.

Adding the damaged mid-grade Spiritual Treasure in his hand, no one would challenge him, and besides, he had the backing of the Ye Family.

To challenge him now, even if unsuccessful, would likely plant a seed of vengeance in his heart.

However, with no one challenging, people’s thoughts became more active inwardly.

Ye Chen and Supreme Elder Ye Qingtian remained silent, their faces as dark as they could be, not even looking at the crowd.

Probably knowing that many were secretly mocking them.

Then, some disciples continued to challenge the True Disciples, and the lower-ranked True Disciples had their battles too.

By the time the sun was setting over the mountains, the order of Infinite Sword Sect’s True Disciples had finally settled.

Ning Qi became the undisputed top True Disciple, the youngest and most powerful number one in Infinite Sword Sect’s history.

Now, he had become the senior brother to all the Infinite Sword Sect disciples, his prestige reaching new heights.

All Five Elements Peak disciples present were especially proud, standing with their chests particularly high.

The True Disciples scanned the Top Ten True Inheritance, with Five Elements Peak occupying three spots, especially seeing Qin Minghao at eighth place, many who once mocked him regretted deeply.

Qin Minghao earned a reputation for being sharp-sighted and clear-minded as a result.

Afterward, Sect Leader Jiang Baichuan personally awarded the ten True Disciples.

The Void Path Purple Gold Pill was handed out on the spot, then the top three True Disciples went to the Infinite Sword Sect’s treasury to select their sect rewards of Magical Treasures or Spiritual Treasures.

This was led by Vice Sect Leader Cang Wanhe.

Ning Qi, as the top True Disciple, was rewarded with a lower-grade Spiritual Treasure.

Jiang Qingxue and Ye Chen followed, their rewards for second and third place were a grade lower Magical Treasure, neither of them was very concerned, after all, during the battle, even the damaged mid-grade Spiritual Treasure was used.

The two casually chose one and left straight away.

Before Jiang Qingxue left, she congratulated Ning Qi and mentioned she would visit Five Elements Peak to exchange ideas in the future, to which Ning Qi agreed.

Ye Chen became truly silent and ignored everyone.

Thus only Cang Wanhe and Ning Qi were left in the treasury.

"Congratulations, Ning Qi, this battle of yours has probably excited many of the old folks."

"Why does the Vice Sect Leader say so?"

"Of course, your performance makes them feel there might be great gains in the upcoming Profound Truth Secret Realm."

Ning Qi remained neither humble nor overbearing, saying, "I will do my best."

Cang Wanhe patted him on the shoulder, smiling, "The Sect Leader said that for the Spiritual Treasure reward, I’ll help you choose the best one. Do you have anything in mind? It’s best if it can be used in the Profound Truth Secret Realm."

Ning Qi’s eyes flashed with thought.

With his comprehension, ordinary lower-grade Spiritual Treasures wouldn’t enhance his strength much, so it was better to choose a Spirit Sword, preferably the one with the most concentrated Sword Rules imprint, as that would be more beneficial to his body.
