Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 723: Chapter 310: Jade Light Immortal Sect (Part 2)

This space seemed like a separate void carved out from the War Realm, and Ning Qi was drawn into it.

Looking around, Ning Qi saw that this space was only the size of a room, and in all six directions—up, down, north, south, east, and west—there were illusionary walls that rippled like water, constantly creating wave-like patterns.

”Is the Mountain and Sea Realm Will going to manifest before me?” Ning Qi thought to himself.

The ripples on the wall in front of him gradually slowed and eventually calmed.

The wall slowly became like a transparent block of ice, and a faint, indistinct human shadow appeared on it.

”Do you have the confidence to continue seizing the half-enemy realm and the enemy realm?”

The indistinct shadow spoke.

Ning Qi responded, ”As long as the Realm Venerable bestows me with enough Realm Power, I have the confidence!”

The indistinct shadow fell silent for a moment again and then said:

”How much is enough? The Venerable here has to take care of the Nine Great War Realms. If everyone wants the Venerable to allocate enough Realm Power to them, then what would the Venerable need you for? Might as well have the Venerable enter the field themselves!”

Ning Qi quietly perceived the indistinct shadow on the wall.

Compared to the previously imposing will, this shadow seemed a bit more real and a bit more human.

However, was this the illusionary projection of the Mountain and Sea Realm Will?

Ning Qi said, ”I would like to ask you a question.”

”Speak freely.”

”Previously, I learned from a Vast Realm cultivator that their Domain Masters have also entered the War Realm. If they also carry the Realm Power bestowed by the Vast Realm Will, how should we respond?”

These situations were not disclosed by the Mountain and Sea Realm Will before the initiation of the Spirit Realm War.

It only issued a system of rewards and penalties without detailing how many situations could be encountered.

It seemed that it doesn’t care about ordinary cultivators.

Only Domain Masters like Ning Qi could communicate with it, and when the time was right, the Mountain and Sea Realm Will might then clearly inform them of the situation.

But evidently, even though Ning Qi was the Domain Master of the Profound Truth Realm, his importance to the Mountain and Sea Realm Will was not significant.

After all, the Profound Truth Realm was only a marginal Spirit Domain within the Mountain and Sea Realm.

The indistinct shadow did not answer Ning Qi’s question but said, ”Any other questions you have, ask them.”

Ning Qi didn’t mind this and then asked two more questions in succession.

”If the opposing Domain Master can exert Spirit Realm Power within the War Realm, then the dozens of Realm Powers given by the Realm Venerable will certainly be inferior to the opposition. How should we break through?”

”There are several hundred Spirit Domains within the Realm Venerable. How many Mountain and Sea Spirit Domains are there in the War Realm where my Profound Truth Realm is located?”

The indistinct shadow seemed to be scrutinizing Ning Qi closely.

The questions a person asks can decide what they’re thinking, measuring their farsightedness and the breadth of their mind.

Of course, this also requires corresponding strength; otherwise, it would be like commoners discussing national affairs, speaking eloquently and logically, yet cannot participate, leading to nothing but air.

Ning Qi was different; by capturing half of the enemy realm, he earned some favor from the Mountain and Sea Realm Will, which is why he had this space for private communication.

The indistinct shadow said:

”The Venerable will respond to your last question: in the Southeast War Realm, a total of nine Spirit Domains have been allocated here.”

”But you may not necessarily meet each other because the Southeast War Realm is also divided into upper, middle, and lower regions.”

”Your Profound Truth Realm is in the Lower Realm, and the neighboring Fuyao Realm and Langya Domain are also in this region.”

Hearing this, Ning Qi’s mind turned over various thoughts.

He now clearly understood the situation within the War Realm.

It turned out the War Realm was also divided into three regions.

Their Profound Truth Realm was indeed in the Lower Realm, no wonder the Mountain and Sea Realm Will didn’t pay much attention.

If he wasn’t the Domain Master and hadn’t seized half of the enemy realm, the Mountain and Sea Realm Will probably wouldn’t even bother with him.

After all, the Mountain and Sea Realm is vast, with hundreds of Spirit Domains, and within each Spirit Domain, there are dozens of Sects.

In the eyes of the Mountain and Sea Realm Will, most Sect cultivators are mere cannon fodder to consume the number of Vast Realm people, so it naturally wouldn’t disclose more information to the cannon fodder.

The indistinct shadow said again, ”The other questions you asked, the Venerable will not respond to for now. Once you have enough strength and have captured more nodes in the War Realm, the Venerable will consider informing you depending on the situation.”

”However, if you truly have a heart for capturing half-enemy and enemy realms, the Venerable can grant you an item that will allow you to contact the Venerable at any time, and then I will consider lending you more power!”

Looking towards the wall in front of him, Ning Qi saw that the indistinct shadow disappeared right after saying this.

However, a circular mark was left on the wall.

Ning Qi stepped forward, pulling it off and examining it closely.

This round mark was made of unknown material, neither metal nor wood.

On it was carved a pattern, with mountains above and water below, harmoniously blended to form the two images of mountain and sea.

Click!

A crisp sound seemed to remind Ning Qi that he had returned to reality.

He looked towards the army of the Profound Truth Realm and saw that they maintained their previous posture.

Seeing this scene, Ning Qi immediately understood that the communication with the Mountain and Sea Realm Will just now took place in a single instant, with almost no time elapsed.

He lightly tossed the Sea and Mountain Mark in his hand, which spun several times in the air before he caught it again.

Ning Qi’s expression at this moment held a hint of mysteriousness.

Very well, he was a step closer to truly contacting the Mountain and Sea Realm Will!

Looking at the Profound Truth Realm army waiting for his orders, Ning Qi took out the Soul-Searching Plate and infused it with spiritual power.

The needle within, made of spirit sword, immediately rang with a ”clang” and began to rotate continuously within the plate.
