Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 882: Chapter 375: Near-Immortal

The floating blood mist in the air was sometimes concentrated, sometimes faint, resembling dandelions at times and fragments of withered flowers at others.

As one gets closer to the center of the Central Domain, such peculiar phenomena become more abundant.

They seem like apparitions condensed from the blood of fallen cultivators, constantly drifting within the Central Domain, narrating the ruthlessness of war.

At the unnoticed border, clusters of blood mist quietly merged onto the array long inscribed by Ning Qi.

No one perceived this scene, not even the will of the two realms paid attention.

Ning Qi, Zhao Yujun, and Gong Tiandao stood before the southern barrier of the Central Domain.

Zhao Yujun and Gong Tiandao, the two Sect Leaders, each inscribed a complex small array on the ground.

The two arrays were some distance apart, and notably shallow.

It’s unknown whether they feared the arrays might cause a conflict or were afraid of attracting something.

Ning Qi gazed intently at the arrays on the ground.

For Ning Qi’s convenience, both arrays had been activated.

The array inscribed by Zhao Yujun was a small formation in the shape of a sea anemone.

Only the array constantly flowed with water light, and staying nearby seemed to let one hear the sound of the ocean in their ears.

The superficial appearance of this formation was like this, but Ning Qi noticed multiple hidden changes within.

The sea anemone shape could transform freely into other sea demon beasts, with at least thirty-six variations.

Each transformation was a sea demon, with its hidden special abilities.

Ning Qi understood that once fully activated, the power of the sea demon within would be completely consolidated, and the terrifying aspect of this formation would truly reveal itself.

Diverse abilities would be unleashed against enemies, becoming exceedingly fearsome.

Ning Qi then looked at the array inscribed by Gong Tiandao on the right.

Its superficial appearance was a mini array resembling the character "mountain".

The mountain character lay on the ground, yet although clearly a flat surface and viewed from above, it created a confusing perception.

It was like this mountain-character array could rise instantly, erecting a peak that reached for the heavens, invoking awe.

Ning Qi discerned beyond its surface, finding additional shadows beneath the mountain-character array.

Some resembled peaks, others humans, some hills, others deserts, encompassing various transformations of the earth and harnessing the earth’s power.

After observing both arrays, even Ning Qi had to acknowledge them as worthy of being from the strongest two Immortal Sects in the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Accumulated over countless millennia, their profound foundations would leave even a genius in the Array Path in awe, let alone surpass them.

Regrettably, he was not among them.

"Taoist Friend Ning, have you thought of a way to harmonize the two arrays?" Gong Tiandao asked.

Ning Qi temporarily ignored him, attempting to see the combination of both arrays.

One sea and one mountain array, despite being some distance apart, surprised Ning Qi by emitting a force of repulsion between them.

Clearly not intersecting, yet automatically starting to gather power and strike at each other.

In the next moment, both arrays began transforming, simultaneously absorbing the surrounding rule spiritual power.

The sound of waves and the sound of mountain woods crashed against each other.

Crack!

The ground between them seemed unable to withstand the impact, crawling with web-like cracks and breaking apart in response.

If not for the separation, what kind of collision might occur if they truly came together?

Ning Qi pondered slightly.

Why are the two arrays so conflicting? Normally, even if two forces repelled, such a situation shouldn’t occur.

However...

Ning Qi glanced at Zhao Yujun and Gong Tiandao.

Both were focusing on him.

Zhao Yujun’s pretty face held a hint of charm, subtly signaling him.

Gong Tiandao slightly curved his lips, eyes carrying some amusement.

Ning Qi discovered a frightening matter: The forces of both individuals were not entirely of their own, both bore the mark of the Mountain and Sea Ancestors.

Precisely because they harbored the mark of the Mountain and Sea Ancestors within, the arrays they laid down were in conflict and repulsion.

Ning Qi mused internally, "Could the Ancestors have used them as mere tools?"

No time to think further, Gong Tiandao urged:

"Taoist Friend Ning, can you resolve this? If not, we should quickly plan, otherwise the enemy won’t grant us extra time."

Ning Qi replied with a smile, "Of course I can!"

"Failure is also human nature, but Taoist Friend Ning must refrain from boasting in the future." Gong Tiandao dusted off his clothes.

Zhao Yujun looked at him in surprise.

"Ning Qi said he can!"

"Oh?"

Gong Tiandao was taken aback, immediately blushing.

"What? Can?"

Gong Tiandao stared dumbfounded at Ning Qi.

Ning Qi was uninterested in further chatter, directly approached the center between the two arrays.

After studying both arrays, through Ning Qi’s insight, he had entirely deconstructed both arrays within his mind.

With the power he now possessed, not only did he understand the Array Path, but even if he didn’t, Ning Qi could harmonize the two arrays using the power within him that combined the Mountain and Sea, Vast Realm, True Martial of the Sea of Realms, and the Four Symbols of the World.

Ning Qi stood between the two arrays, under his feet, the power of rules surged, automatically inscribing a new grand array at his will.

Tai Chi gives rise to two forces, two forces give rise to four symbols!

A Tai Chi array diagram encompassed them both.

He himself practiced the Tai Yin Sun God Technique, his internal forces interbalanced, harmonizing this small array was nothing but a casual move.

Zhao Yujun and Gong Tiandao watched as he created an array with his steps, immediately connecting their formations, and both widened their eyes.

The previously clashing formations now flowed along the grand array inscribed by Ning Qi.

Two forces were perfectly merged and began circulating in a specific manner.

Not only that, Ning Qi seemed to have given them a lever, the forces within the two arrays undulated together, transitioning from repulsion to creation.
