Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 989 - 425: Belief Power of All Living Beings (Part 2)

"What, we are to migrate to a new Spirit Realm?"

"The Saint Ancestor seems to have said that we are going to Ning Qi’s world, right? Isn’t Ning Qi a cultivator from the Mountain and Sea Realm?"

If the same transmission was received by others, such as Sword Ancestor Qi Keqing, Zhao Yujun, and other cultivators of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Upon hearing the news, their expressions were no better than the beings of the Vast Realm.

Sword Ancestor felt as if his Sword Heart was about to leap from his chest, and other cultivators of the Profound Truth Realm felt the same.

The once Top Ten True Inheritance of the Infinite Sword Sect looked at each other in disbelief.

"Did we hear wrong?"

"What are they saying, that Senior Brother Ning is the sovereign of a realm?"

Jiang Yingxue looked at Qin Minghao with her charming eyes, and said, "Junior Brother Qin, you were the first to follow Senior Brother Ning. Is what they say true?"

Qin Minghao, as one of the earliest locals in the Mountain and Sea Realm to follow Ning Qi, naturally knew Ning Qi’s background. He smiled slightly and said, "Senior Sister Jiang, you will know soon enough."

"Keeping secrets from us?"

Qin Minghao said, "Since Senior Brother Ning did not mention it himself, I will absolutely not reveal his true circumstances. I hope you all understand."

Upon hearing his words, the other True Inheritors no longer inquired further.

Since Qin Minghao spoke in this way, it must involve a secret of Senior Brother Ning, and they were unwilling to expose it.

Though Qin Minghao did not disclose Ning Qi’s true identity, his gaze swept across the crowd, noting their bewildered expressions.

Feeling he should do something for Ning Qi, he stepped forward and spoke up:

"Why be panicked or confused? Since following Senior Brother Ning, when has he ever mistreated us?"

"Never!"

Numerous voices echoed at once.

"That settles it. Regardless of where we are going, is it really a problem for us? I believe we all know that above all else, we just want to continue following Senior Brother Ning!"

"Yes!"

With Qin Minghao speaking up, the confusion among the crowd instantly dissipated, and their gazes became incredibly passionate.

In the ranks of the Profound Truth Realm, many cultivators silently observed the expressions of the crowd, all of whom had reincarnated into the Mountain and Sea Realm from the True Martial Realm.

Ye Qinghe and Taoist Longshan were not far apart.

Ye Qinghe suddenly transmitted his voice, saying, "Master, it seems like we are finally going home?"

Taoist Longshan nodded, saying, "Indeed, after entering the Mountain and Sea Realm for so many years, it feels like an eternity. We will finally reunite."

"Unexpectedly, the cultivators of the entire Mountain and Sea Realm did not need us to intervene. Junior Brother Ning Qi’s charisma alone has won them over."

Taoist Longshan remained silent, still watching the projection on the Vast Realm’s sky.

"Unfortunately, we cannot assist him!"

The cultivators under Sea Ancestor Zhao Yujun glanced at each other.

Someone asked aloud, "Sect Leader Zhao, what should we do?"

Zhao Yujun looked towards the direction of the phantasm of Buzhou Mountain as if seeing Sea Ancestor trapped within.

She said, "We will join them in entering that new Spirit Realm."

"But what about the elder Sea Ancestor..."

"No buts. If we stay, do you think we can assist Sea Ancestor, or would we instead make her worry about us? You know, Sea Ancestor has always valued personal ties greatly."

"....We understand!"

...

Inside the cave space.

The withered yellow branch was transformed by Mountain Ancestor into a black Divine Sword grasped in his hand.

The blade swept across, aiming to slash at Ning Qi.

Though not yet reached, it had already carved a terrifying crack in the cave space.

Ka-cha!

The entire space, sliced by the sword as a horizontal section, instantly split into a dislocated mismatch.

In front, Ning Qi watched this terrifying sword without any intention of dodging.

His right hand, like that of a lutist, softly reached into the space, withdrawing with a fresh, green, and glowing branch in hand.

Ning Qi had his main body break off a branch from the Enlightenment Realm Tree and deliver it through the Storage Space.

Mountain Ancestor’s pupils involuntarily contracted at the sight.

He thought, "Is this a branch broken from the Seed of Jianmu? Interesting, to think using the same material as a weapon against me, humph, such arrogance!"

The black Divine Sword in his hand swung even faster, its edge nearly reaching Ning Qi.

Gripping the green branch, Ning Qi’s whole demeanor transformed instantly.

The essence of an extreme Sword Cultivator emanated, and the green branch immediately turned into a green light, seeming to transform into a Divine Sword.

Ding!

The black Divine Sword clashed against the green light. Ning Qi, later yet arrived first; the sword-shaped green light in his hand successfully blocked the black Divine Sword.

Upon collision, both felt the power within each other.

Ning Qi perceived the sword in Mountain Ancestor’s hand was filled with the aura of death, intent on destroying everything, but also embodied Mountain Ancestor’s pure strength and masculine energy!

Mountain Ancestor perceived the green light sword Ning Qi held was teeming with endless vitality and life force, further exuding Ning Qi’s extreme Sword Intent!

Though not a Sword Cultivator, Mountain Ancestor’s martial method was supremely masculine, allowing him to wield a sword without being much weaker than Ning Qi.

In the next instant, both simultaneously wielded their respective weapons.

From slow to fast, fusing various Divine Techniques into their Sword Artifacts.

Ding ding ding ding ding!

Their figures reached an unimaginable speed; the people outside could only see two afterimages clashing within the cave space.

Their dazed eyes watched the projection cast upon the Vast Realm’s sky.

The entire cave space was a realm of one side’s destruction and the other’s rebirth!

The space on Mountain Ancestor’s side was completely shattered, his figure appearing within an even larger space, precisely the hidden dwelling of the Saint Ancestor.

The previous cave space and the Saint Ancestor’s dwelling were like two layers of an egg.

The cave space was the yolk, and the dwelling was the egg white.

Mountain Ancestor’s battle power soared, thoroughly smashing his side of the yolk, emerging in an even larger yolk area.

Meanwhile, the space where Ning Qi stood remained intact; where he was, peace ensued, impervious to all laws.

Outside observers gazed at the sky wholeheartedly, entranced, their unease quelled.

In the distance, Spirit Domains began to autonomously detach from the Vast Realm and fly swiftly towards a location unseen to them.

They were heading to a place of safety, all relying on Ning Qi’s shoulders alone.

Whether it was beings of the Vast Realm or people like Sword Ancestor, watching Ning Qi battle Mountain Ancestor, they all silently blessed and prayed for Ning Qi.

Unseen, a pure belief arose within everyone’s heart and body, silently dispersing, flying towards where Ning Qi was, unbeknownst even to Ning Qi himself.

Ning Qi continued combating the scarred Mountain Ancestor.

Another clash of sword light, the black Sword Qi, and green sword light scattered into the void like fireflies in the night.

The two figures separated upon impact, each retreating backward.

"Hoo hoo~"

The space was half on the brink of void; half remained unscathed, the scene appeared eerily bizarre.

Both breathed lightly.

Mountain Ancestor gazed at Ning Qi opposite, his eyes revealed an increasingly strange color.

He couldn’t believe that Ning Qi was capable of fighting him for so long, yet he had no choice but to believe.

What unsettled him further was that Ning Qi appeared to be enjoying the fight immensely, as if entirely immersed.

In an uncanny feeling, Mountain Ancestor sensed Ning Qi’s power continuously growing!

Be it his foundational power, sword moves, Divine Techniques, or understanding of the Dao, all appeared to enhance rapidly under Mountain Ancestor’s perception!

"Damn it, what’s going on?"

At their level, becoming stronger was no simple matter.

Like a struggling student striving to improve grades, initially achieving progress is easy, but upon reaching higher levels, further improvements become exceedingly tough.

Yet, astonishingly, Ning Qi defied this rule, his strength kept increasing!

Mountain Ancestor discerned one thing: Ning Qi seemed to continuously comprehend new concepts through their duel!

"This boy’s talent is unprecedented in my lifetime, even comparing the ancient times and Buzhou Mountain’s inherited geniuses, none compare. Could he be the reincarnation of a True Immortal?"

While comprehending Divine Techniques relies on inherent talent, why would Ning Qi’s power also follow suit in enhancement?

This point baffled Mountain Ancestor!

Suddenly, a cold voice echoed within his heart.

"What are you dawdling for, can you not even resolve a mere young junior?"

Mountain Ancestor’s heart instantly chilled, it was the phantasm of Buzhou Mountain’s voice transmitting.

Outsiders were unaware of their relationship, mistaking them as just body and shadow, but that wasn’t the case.

When Mountain Ancestor first acquired the Buzhou Mountain heritage, it wasn’t nearly as simple as assumed.
