Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 639: Chapter 286: Five Elements Sword Venerate, Beixuan Wushuang (Part 4)

They came to pledge allegiance, willing to recognize the Infinite Sword Sect as the Beixuan Dominator, viewing Ning Qi as the leader of the Beixuan Domain.

Meanwhile, the various sects also brought a multitude of gifts.

Be it spiritual veins, land, the harvest of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, or various industries.

Ning Qi had Vice Sect Leader Cang Wanhe handle the matter, who accepted the responsibility with a smile and simply organized a grand celebration where both hosts and guests enjoyed themselves thoroughly.

Gathering Immortals Tower.

Once the property of the Beixuan Upper Sect, it has now passed into the hands of the Infinite Sword Sect.

On this day, Ning Qi left the Infinite Sword Sect and returned to the Gathering Immortals Tower.

The interior of the Gathering Immortals Tower was brilliantly lit, even more bustling than before.

With the Infinite Sword Sect backing it, no one in the Beixuan Domain dared to cause trouble inside.

In the largest private room, many had already gathered, waiting for Ning Qi to arrive.

Pushing open the door to the room, Ning Qi stepped inside, then glanced at everyone.

This gathering included people born in the True Martial Realm within the Beixuan Domain, and Ning Qi had selected those who had reached the Void Path Realm to attend.

Among them, two figures stood out most prominently.

One was the son of the Sect Leader of the Luotian Upper Sect, namely Zhuang Chen.

Zhuang Chen had an ethereal aura and appeared increasingly graceful, plump and seemingly harmless, yet exuding a distinctly authoritative presence.

If his father commanded eighty percent of the Luotian Upper Sect, he commanded seventy percent.

The other was the array master of the Cyan Mist Upper Sect, True Man Baishan.

This Taoist Baishan was now living an exceedingly carefree life. In his haste to arrive, he apparently left a lipstick mark on his face.

However, no one mentioned it.

They wanted to wait for Ning Qi to arrive so he could witness it as well.

As expected, Ning Qi looked at True Man Baishan and teased, "Taoist Baishan, is this the rejuvenation of withered wood?"

True Man Baishan was momentarily stunned, not understanding what Ning Qi meant.

The room erupted with continuous laughter, as everyone finally unleashed the laughter they had been holding back.

It was only then that True Man Baishan realized what everyone was laughing at. He extended his right hand to wipe his face and look at it closely.

Instantly, he saw a bright red mark in his palm, extremely eye-catching.

Even though he now looked like a somewhat sleazy young man in plain clothes, he couldn’t help blushing and spat:

"Oh, you all let me walk around with such a bright mark until the Realm Lord came without saying a word. Do you have any conscience?"

Everyone continued to laugh.

Ning Qi quipped, "Why, having such a joyous occasion and not informing us? We’d certainly visit to congratulate you on your marriage."

True Man Baishan lamented in agony, only to reply:

"Ah, stop teasing me, I’ve had enough of our Cyan Mist Upper Sect’s Sect Leader and his daughter."

"Oh, do tell."

True Man Baishan continued:

"Damn it, the Sect Leader noticed my extraordinary talent, and his daughter fell in love with me. He insisted I become his son-in-law."

"I refused, but the Sect Leader secretly coached his daughter, advising her that if she couldn’t win me over, she should drug me. I was so annoyed by the two of them."

Upon hearing this, everyone laughed even more boisterously.

"Why not just accept it?"

"Accept your uncle’s offer, she’s as fat as a pig. Didn’t you see how big and thick the lipstick mark was? I would rather end my life than submit."

"What’s so difficult? We cultivators can change our form and appearance easily. Just have the Sect Leader’s daughter change her appearance, and it would be fine."

True Man Baishan shook his head like a rattle drum.

"No way, the Sect Leader mourns his late wife, saying his daughter resembles her greatly, so he forbids her to alter her appearance. Moreover, everyone in the sect has deceived her into believing she is as beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal, and she believes them, insisting I have no taste!"

True Man Baishan clutched Ning Qi’s hand, refusing to let go, pleading:

"Ning, you must attack quickly. I will open the Sect Protection Array for you. Anyway, the Luotian Upper Sect now respects you like a deity, more obedient than to their Ancestor."

Ning Qi chuckled.

Everyone engaged in leisurely chatter, discussing much gossip similar to True Man Baishan’s, and talked about Ning Qi’s various titles now.

Immortal Species, True Inheritor Ning, Ning Integration, Ning One Sword, Five Elements Sword Venerate...

After many years apart, everyone mocked each other, and the banter from the Otherworld made them feel exceptionally close.

Eventually, they turned back to the main topic.

They discussed the war in the Spirit Realm, as all sects were preparing for battle.

Among those present, one belonged to a sect extremely adept at gathering intelligence and brought news unknown to the others.

"Realm Lord, we’ve identified the adversarial world of the Mountain and Sea Realm."

Everyone looked at him.

Ning Qi smiled and said, "We’ve been drinking through three rounds and tasting five courses. My Gathering Immortals Tower is almost eaten up, and still, you’re keeping secrets?"

Everyone laughed again.

The person finally said, "It is named the Vast Realm, comparable in strength to the Mountain and Sea Realm, but its internal world seems more stable."
