Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 543: Chapter 264 Grandpa_3

Wei Wuya was momentarily stunned and said, "The world is full of wonders. Since you’ve had such an encounter, maybe Ning Qi is truly like you."

Fu Chen stroked his chin, "If he’s really like me, does that mean his teacher is even more powerful than you?"

"Are you looking for a beating?"

Fu Chen chuckled and stopped provoking the old man, but he chose to heed his teacher’s words and decided to do as he said.

...

Before entering the Giant Tomb, Ning Qi and the other five first sensed the locations of the remaining three True Inheritors of the Infinite Sword Sect.

They discovered that two of them had already gathered together, and all three were still quite far from their current location, likely taking several days to converge.

Ning Qi took the lead and entered the tomb.

The Five-Colored Divine Light radiated three yards from his body, enveloping all five people behind him.

Qin Minghao and the others were wrapped in that warm glow, feeling unprecedented peace of mind.

Inside the tomb, a winding mountain path took about a quarter of an hour to traverse before the group reached the end.

Ahead lay a cavernous hollow within the mountain, quite spacious.

Under the illumination of Ning Qi’s Five-Colored Divine Light, every speck of dust inside became visible.

The group looked at the earth wall ahead, where there were a full nine cave openings.

Getting closer, they found the wind speeds from each opening varied, suggesting they led to different places.

"Senior Brother Ning, what should we do?" Wang Ye asked.

Jiang Qingxue frowned slightly and said, "Why don’t we split up? But there are six of us in total. Even if we divide, three openings would still be left unvisited."

"If we’re unlucky, we may all have to return and choose again."

Her words echoed the thoughts of the other members.

No one knew where these cave openings led or what dangers lay within.

Aside from Ning Qi, none of them held much confidence, as this was not a Primordial Spirit Realm Giant Tomb with bronze light but an Integration Realm Giant Tomb with silver light.

The hidden dangers within were daunting to those only in the Primordial Spirit Realm. Facing them alone could be extremely perilous and, if unlucky, potentially fatal.

Ning Qi stood in front and said calmly:

"No need to make it so complicated, just follow me!"

"Huh?" They were surprised.

"Senior Brother Ning, but if we do it this way, trying out each opening one by one, it’ll take too long. We might lose our chance if others from other sects arrive and move ahead of us!"

Ning Qi smiled.

"Don’t worry, as long as I’m here, no one can come through!"

He spoke without any arrogance, like announcing a simple fact.

Apart from Qin Minghao, the other four were momentarily stunned.

Ning Qi then summoned a purple sword, casually swung it toward the path they came from, and a purple Sword Qi with lightning swirled around it, instantly collapsing the road behind them.

Meanwhile, the Sword Qi didn’t dissipate but radiated the True Intent of Lightning, purple electricity crackling forth.

Seeing this, they were once again astonished.

They had rarely witnessed Ning Qi in action, the last time being during the sect’s True Inheritor ranking ten years ago. Back then, Senior Brother Ning’s spells were simple yet impossible to resist.

Now, seeing Ning Qi’s enduring Sword Intent, they were filled with awe.

They admitted they wouldn’t dare step into that Sword Intent. Even attacking from a distance to dispel the energy seemed beyond their capability, no matter how hard they tried.

The group instantly became convinced.

"Alright, let’s continue forward."

Ning Qi directly chose the middlemost opening and walked in, with the others immediately following behind.

This path sloped, giving everyone the feeling they were heading towards the mountainside.

Soon, a roar emanated from the front, like the sound of countless fingertips scraping across glass, extremely unsettling.

The two female True Inheritors in the group felt a chill run down their spines.

Jiang Qingxue and Xie Chaolu held hands, their faces slightly pale, but upon seeing the fearless figure ahead, their fear dissipated.

As the unsettling sound drew closer, Ning Qi’s pace quickened.

They finally emerged in another cavern within the mountain.

The surrounding earthen walls were very smooth, and upon closer inspection, it seemed these walls had been gouged out by nails.

As they entered this space, the disturbing sound vanished without a trace, leaving the entire area silent enough to hear a pin drop.

Only their footsteps echoed in the space.

Suddenly, they distinctly heard an additional set of footsteps mingled with their own.

As they listened intently to locate the source, it seemed to be behind them.

When they turned to look, the sound appeared to fall behind them again.

Jiang Qingxue and Xie Chaolu even stood back to back, but what frightened them was that the sound still seemed to come from behind them.

As for Wu Qingxiao and Wang Ye, they both felt a tingling sensation on their scalps at that moment.

A foe unseen is the most terrifying!

If not for Ning Qi’s Five-Colored Divine Light enveloping them, the group might have found it hard to remain calm.

Instinctively, they turned to look at Ning Qi ahead.

How would Senior Brother Ning deal with this eerie sound of footsteps, and could he find the enemy?

Ning Qi suddenly stepped aside and thrust his sword into the earthen wall.

A greenish blood trickled out of the wall, intensely foul-smelling.

Ning Qi withdrew his sword, pulling out some dirt along with a terrifying creature that seemed neither human nor ghostly.

The creature was already lifeless, with eight pale limbs wrapped in a human-like skin, yet bent like spider legs, splayed out.

Its body appeared like a starved ghost, with its back and front inverted, its neck twisted several times, its yellow hair bristling, two horns protruding from its forehead, and a blue face with fangs.

"Is this the legendary Ghost Demon?"
