Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 787: Chapter 331: Kill Order

The Mountain Ancestor and Sea Ancestor, upon hearing the attendant’s report, their eternally unchanged expressions showed a noticeable alteration in their gaze.

Of the twenty-seven war domains, only the realm where Ning Qi resides was able to swiftly conquer the Vast Realm cultivators.

Previously, the Ancestors thought the Mountain and Sea Realm cultivators were stronger, yet the information received was quite the opposite.

"Interesting!"

The Mountain Ancestor rarely uttered praise.

The Three Spirit Realms—Profound Truth, Fuyao, and Langya Domains—are under the Mountain Ancestor’s jurisdiction within the Mountain and Sea Realm.

However, they are too remote, and the Mountain Ancestor seldom inquires.

Now, these three remote Spirit Domains have achieved remarkable feats within the war domain, making the Mountain Ancestor pay closer attention.

His Spiritual Sense immediately connected with the Mountain and Sea Realm Will to inquire about specific conditions in the Lower Realm of the Southeast War Domain.

His focus was on identifying who could lead the army to completely annihilate the Vast Realm cultivators.

Before long, he received a response from the Mountain and Sea Realm Will.

"This person is the newly appointed Profound Truth Domain Master, named Ning Qi, with extremely exceptional talent."

The Mountain Ancestor was slightly stunned and said: "You mean there’s a new Domain Master in Profound Truth Domain? I recall that Profound Truth Domain has always been in a state of division."

Mountain and Sea Realm Will replied: "You’ve been busy with cultivation, how could you pay attention to these matters."

It then changed its tone and said: "Profound Truth Domain has been revitalized because of Ning Qi, thus I’ve endowed him with the title of Domain Master."

The Mountain Ancestor nodded, suddenly curious: "Show me this person’s life and achievements; someone you call highly talented must be extraordinary."

Mountain and Sea Realm Will immediately shared Ning Qi’s life journey within the Profound Truth Domain to the Mountain Ancestor, including everything from his birth to his entry into the war domain.

Anyone born within the Mountain and Sea Realm can have their lives easily accessed by the Mountain and Sea Realm Will, just like Ning Qi’s origin in the True Martial Realm.

As for the intelligence of Ning Qi within the war domain, a place where two realm’s wills and three energy types mix, it can only explore areas covered by its will, thus it’s not as precise for Ning Qi’s movements within the Mountain and Sea Realm.

The Mountain Ancestor perused Ning Qi’s life with his Spiritual Sense.

What shocks more is the lack of surprise compared to what he discovers upon flipping through the records.

"Such talent do you still call exceptional? Why didn’t you inform me sooner of such a genius existing? Also, he’s already achieved Integration Perfection before reaching two hundred years of age?"

Usually indifferent to regular matters, the Mountain Ancestor asked thrice in a row, clearly very intrigued by Ning Qi’s life!

Mountain and Sea Realm Will rarely responded to him, as a Realm Venerable, do the records hold any falsehood?

Despite not receiving a response from the Mountain and Sea Realm Will, the Mountain Ancestor was not annoyed.

With his strength, reading the records provided by the Realm Venerable takes just a moment to complete.

But now he repeatedly scans the records, enjoying it immensely, meticulously as if discovering a treasure.

And a hint of a smile appears on the Mountain Ancestor’s normally iron-hard visage.

The cultivators serving him witness this, feeling immense waves of shock internally.

Unable to fathom what could happen that would evoke such an expression from the strongest figure in the Mountain and Sea Realm.

After leafing through the life record several times, the Mountain Ancestor finally set it down, and his Spiritual Sense continued communicating with the Mountain and Sea Realm Will:

"With such a genius in the Mountain and Sea Realm, it is worthy of the Immortal Species title. However, how can such a genius be left adrift?"

He pondered slightly and continued:

"Send word to Ning Qi, inform him that should he secure more land for us within the war domain, I will take him as my disciple!"

"You also want to take him as your disciple?" the Mountain and Sea Realm Will suddenly asked.

The Mountain Ancestor’s expression changed, "What do you mean by this, could it be..."

The Mountain and Sea Realm Will laughed, "Indeed, your junior sister has already asked me to tell Ning Qi first!"

Upon hearing this, the Mountain Ancestor expressed dissatisfaction: "Isn’t she messing around? Ning Qi hails from the Profound Truth Domain; cultivators from my jurisdiction, how can it be her turn to accept him as a disciple?"

The Mountain and Sea Realm Will responded again: "She said that if she can’t have him, she’d rather destroy Ning Qi than let you have him!"

The junior sister referenced by the Mountain and Sea Realm Will is the Sea Ancestor.

The Mountain Ancestor and Sea Ancestor both studied under the same teacher in their youth.

They were both exceptionally gifted individuals, and countless millennia later, they became the two Ancestors within the Mountain and Sea Realm.

They have never seen eye to eye and have always competed against each other in all matters.

The Mountain Ancestor resentfully said: "Crazy woman, I absolutely won’t let her succeed; we’ll see!"

Suddenly, he asked Mountain and Sea Realm Will: "Which side do you stand on?"

Mountain and Sea Realm Will coldly snorted, "Forget it, neither of you am I siding with. As long as it doesn’t affect the conquest of the Vast Realm, you may fight however you want."

...

The Mountain Ancestor’s Divine Eye suddenly pierced through the mountain and sea, gazing southward.

There, a similar gaze was directed at him.

Their gazes seemingly traversed countless spaces, once again meeting.

From each other’s gaze, they both saw a spark that would never extinguish.

It seemed as if both were saying, "Ning Qi is mine!"

...

After a glance, the Mountain Ancestor and Sea Ancestor once again lifted their gaze to survey the war domain.

Unlike others in the Mountain and Sea Realm, the two Ancestors have reached perfection in their skills, and their relationship with the Mountain and Sea Realm Will is equal.

They can use the power of the Mountain and Sea Realm Will to discern the broader situation of the entire war domain.

To other cultivators, the war domain is a battlefield of life and death, but to the two Ancestors, it’s merely a chessboard or a map.

When the Spirit Realm war commenced, this newly created map was a blank slate.

As the chess pieces entered, frantically battling and competing, the map was thereby imbued with color.

And the Southeast War Domain which Ning Qi and others were about to fully occupy was quietly painted with blue-green hues, indicating the Mountain and Sea Realm Will’s ongoing dominion over that realm.
