Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 641: Chapter 288: The Two Ancestors (Part 2)

Only the larger Spirit Domains closest to where the Mountain Ancestor and Sea Ancestor reside have been occupied by the various Immortal Sects.

Each Immortal Sect has at least one Unity Realm cultivator stationed, and some even have several, or even a dozen.

And the sect where the Mountain Ancestor and Sea Ancestor reside, having been passed down to the present day, is naturally the strongest.

At this moment, everyone learned of the overall situation of the Mountain and Sea Realm from the words of the Realm Lord.

In this light, their Beixuan Domain seems quite weak in the vast Mountain and Sea Realm.

Fortunately, being weak has its advantages, at least the ceiling is extremely high.

Then, Ning Qi mentioned one more thing, pointing upwards, he said:

"This Spirit Realm war was initiated by the Mountain and Sea Realm, suspected to be that the Mountain Ancestor and Sea Ancestor wish to transcend limits and completely break through the Unity Realm, advancing to a higher realm."

Everyone looked at each other, all stunned by these words.

Many among them are still in the Primordial Spirit Realm, although there are also some in the Void Path Realm, and even Ning Qi, who is in the Integration Realm, but they have no understanding of realms beyond that.

The Unity Realm is far from them, let alone anything beyond it.

Zhuang Chen slightly frowned and said:

"Realm Lord, is the realm beyond the Unity Realm...?"

Ning Qi nodded, though he did not speak, everyone understood in their hearts.

In this light, the upper limit of Spirit Realm lives is the Unity Realm, just as their True Martial Realm’s limit was once the Martial Saint.

Until Ning Qi appeared and, after enduring countless hardships, raised the limit to the Void Path Realm.

So whether it’s the Mountain and Sea Realm, or the Mountain Ancestor and Sea Ancestor, wanting to climb higher, how easy can it be?

The Mountain Ancestor and Sea Ancestor have ruled the Mountain and Sea Realm for countless millennia, and even now they still try every means to completely transcend, doesn’t this prove its difficulty?

True Man Bai Shan realized a problem, he spoke up and asked:

"Realm Lord, the Mountain Ancestor and Sea Ancestor have not completely mastered the Mountain and Sea Realm like you, yet they seem to have influenced the Mountain and Sea Realm enough to initiate a Spirit Realm war."

Ning Qi replied:

"They should be in a cooperative relationship, all three have a desire to break through the current state, which is why they started the Spirit Realm war."

Everyone nodded, with this explanation, they understood.

The Spirit Realm wants to break through its own limits, and so do the Mountain Ancestor and Sea Ancestor, hence the three collaborated!

At this point, everyone couldn’t help but feel anxious.

These cultivators of the True Martial Realm, if it weren’t for Ning Qi’s rise, would have long perished along with the initial Black Demon Sect attack.

Now with both Spirit Realms preparing for war, the number of Unity Realm Ancestors is unknown, as is the intensity of the battle.

As a third party existing in the shadows, caught between two Spirit Realms, one slip, and they may face utter annihilation.

The only solace is that Ning Qi led everyone to ascend proactively to the Spirit Realm to fight their way up.

Otherwise, they would still be living absent-mindedly in the original True Martial Realm, unaware of their fate.

In the Mountain and Sea Realm, they are reincarnation bodies, even if they die, it does not affect the True Martial Realm’s main body.

As long as the True Martial Realm is not destroyed, and their lifespan has not expired, they will not die.

The difficulty lies in ensuring the True Martial Realm is not noticed by the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Fortunately, even when the Spirit Realm war really breaks out, there needs to be a long transition period.

Whether it’s the pre-war preparations or the stalemates during the war, they are generally measured in units of thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

The initial swallowing of the True Martial Realm by the Mountain and Sea Realm took a full 90,000 years.

And at the beginning of the Spirit Realm war, it won’t immediately escalate into total war, but will start with probing attempts and a few small-scale local conflicts.

In such wars, Unity Realm Ancestors generally do not take the field; the main force is composed of these Upper Sects.

At that time, the two realms will connect, and part of the small world will condense into a passage between the two realms, becoming the battlefield.

In the Gathering Immortals Tower, Ning Qi led everyone and calculated using all the available intelligence.

The Spirit Realm war would truly begin in as short as ten years, or as long as twenty years.

"Today, our gathering serves two purposes: one is to deliver this message, and the second is to inform you in advance that if the Beixuan Domain is summoned to battle, you and I shall be divided into a battalion, so you won’t panic when the time comes."

"The third thing..."

Ning Qi looked at everyone, his lips slightly curled up, and suddenly stood up.

Seeing his posture, everyone immediately understood.

The Realm Lord wants to test their strength!

Next, Ning Qi led everyone to a private sect leader’s land within the Infinite Sword Sect, where outsiders are not allowed to disturb.

First to test everyone’s strength, and secondly to impart some enlightenment to these subordinates from the True Martial Realm.

Although they now have the blessing of the Enlightenment Realm Tree, greatly enhancing their comprehension, Ning Qi knows, surpassing ordinary people is comparatively easy for them.

Now scattered everywhere, if they do not exchange insights with others who have similar wisdom, even with great comprehension, their progress would be limited among a group of ordinary cultivators.

In the end, everyone left satisfied.

Ning Qi returned to the main hall of the sect leader, pondering lightly.

He considered that while the initiation of the Spirit Realm war is naturally a disaster for the ordinary sects of the Mountain and Sea Realm, it is also an opportunity for the True Martial Realm.

Crisis breeds opportunity; as Realm Lord, he needs to find opportunities for the rise of the True Martial Realm amidst these dangers.

Ning Qi has already instructed the reincarnators embedded in the Immortal Sect to use every means to obtain the coordinates of the Vast Realm.

They all hold considerable positions in the Immortal Sect, and before the Spirit Realm war begins, there is a great chance of learning the location of the Vast Realm in advance.

Then, when they send the coordinates back, Ning Qi will immediately select a group of beings from the True Martial Realm to reincarnate there, taking the lead.

When the Spirit Realm war truly breaks out, with two realms contending, Ning Qi is bound to profit from it, and by taking a substantial share, he might enable the rapid growth of the True Martial Realm into the Spirit Realm.
