Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

This time, no countless Divine Texts emerged. Instead, a hazy mist was born from within the Saint Ancestor’s body.

Immortal Dao Aura gathered and took shape, and the Saint Ancestor continuously spat out nine strands of immortal power from his mouth.

The nine strands of immortal power immediately began, following the method constructed by Ning Qi, to build a symbol formation in the void before him.

The Saint Ancestor had a foundation in constructing Divine Texts, so forming a symbol formation was not unfamiliar to him.

The only difficult point was: what exactly was his Dao?

Every Immortal Cultivator, especially those from the Lower Realm, who could walk to this step, without exception were outstanding talents.

He might not be able to do as Ning Qi did and condense a nascent shape of the Great Dao, and was even somewhat vague on what kind of Dao he himself should walk, but he still faintly had a blurred direction.

Time quietly slipped by, and a slight sheen of sweat appeared on the Saint Ancestor’s forehead.

At last, the symbol formation condensed in the void was quietly tinged with a trace of golden color—that was the vague shadow of the Dao in his heart.

With the addition of that blurred Dao-shadow, the entire symbol formation finally condensed successfully.

The moment the symbol formation was completed, it rapidly began to rotate in the void, and in the blink of an eye turned into a ring.

Within the ring, immortal power linked time and space, and a small Immortal Door was gradually summoned forth.

The Immortal Door was initially earthen in color, but kept strengthening.

Compared to the Immortal Doors summoned by Ning Qi and the Sea Ancestor, there was a slight difference.

The Immortal Door summoned by the Saint Ancestor also seemed as if Divine Texts were engraved upon it.

He continuously poured the power of the Immortal Dao symbol formation into it, and that earthen-colored Immortal Door finally revealed a trace of Bronze hue.

The Bronze Immortal Sect, with Divine Texts carved upon it, was like an ancient Bronze Artifact that had crossed time and space, giving an overall impression of splendor.

Ning Qi and the Sea Ancestor fixed their gazes on the bronze Divine Text Immortal Door, slightly surprised.

It seemed that the Immortal Door each Immortal condensed would take on different forms, and was not fixed.

It appeared to change depending on the Cultivation Technique primarily cultivated by the Immortal.

Comparing the Immortal Door the Mountain Ancestor had condensed before, as well as those Ning Qi and the Sea Ancestor had just now condensed, to the one now before the Saint Ancestor...

The Mountain Ancestor cultivated the Buzhou Mountain Divine Techniques, and his Immortal Door likewise seemed as heavy and imposing as a Divine Mountain.

As for the Immortal Door condensed by the Sea Ancestor, because it was her first attempt, and was still a Divine Technique to pre-test Immortal Door grade, the external appearance of the Immortal Door did not change much.

But there were still some differences overall; its lines seemed just like the Water Moon Rule she mainly cultivated, filled with softness yet possessing beauty.

The Golden Immortal Sect that Ning Qi had condensed had, to a great extent, been heavily influenced by that golden key; thinking it through carefully, it truly resembled the gate of a treasure vault.

The Saint Ancestor’s entire set of Cultivation Techniques already belonged to an odd path, taking Divine Texts as its main body, so his Immortal Door manifested as the most peculiar.

However, no matter how the Immortal Door’s form changed, the color upon it seemed to have fixed gradations.

Even after the Saint Ancestor exhausted the power of the Immortal Dao symbol formation, he only managed to make the bronze color of the Immortal Door more intense; it did not transform toward Silver.

A moment later, the testing Immortal Door dispersed before the three of them.

The Saint Ancestor’s old face flushed slightly as he said, ”I’ve made you laugh. It seems this old man can only condense a Bronze Immortal Sect.”

The three of them were all testing their Immortal Door grade for the first time; he hadn’t expected himself to fall so far behind, not even a trace of silver appearing.

Ning Qi and the Sea Ancestor exchanged a glance.

The Sea Ancestor consoled, ”This Immortal Door was condensed merely by using the Immortal Dao symbol formation to make an initial test of the Immortal Door’s grade; it doesn’t count as the final verdict.”

Ning Qi also said, ”I already told you I’d help you condense a Golden Immortal Sect. Do you not believe me?”

The Saint Ancestor looked toward the two, and in the end his gaze landed on Ning Qi.

He inevitably felt a bit dejected, for this was the proof of all his life’s cultivation.

But on second thought, if he hadn’t known these things before, he would likely have muddle-headedly become Immortal, and wouldn’t even be counting what grade of Immortal Door he had condensed.

Besides, with a monster like Ning Qi here, everything was possible.

”I believe!”

”Good that you do.”

Ning Qi didn’t give the Saint Ancestor the slightest chance to relax, but once again took the void as a wall, and began carving all sorts of Divine Texts upon it.

Watching those Divine Texts, both the Sea Ancestor and the Saint Ancestor were stunned.

Because these Divine Texts were precisely the ones the Saint Ancestor had previously condensed; they didn’t know what Ning Qi intended to do by inscribing them.

However, the two then saw Ning Qi move those inscribed Divine Texts aside, and once more begin carving various Cultivation Techniques in the void.

”What is he doing?”

The Saint Ancestor had a guess in his heart, but didn’t dare think in that direction.

The Sea Ancestor reacted the same way.

Not long after, what Ning Qi inscribed gradually began to line up with what they had been imagining.

Because what was carved in the void were exactly the Cultivation Techniques they cultivated!

At first the two only felt they were particularly familiar, but gradually, as Ning Qi continued to inscribe, those Cultivation Techniques, under Ning Qi’s hand, endlessly evolved and advanced, being pushed toward a more perfect state.

The two of them had already read the Complete Heaven Immortal Guide Scripture cultivated by the Mountain Ancestor, as well as the Taiyin Flying Immortal Scripture they had just obtained.

At this moment, they clearly saw the shadows of those two Cultivation Techniques within the evolving techniques.

Ning Qi was using those two Cultivation Techniques, and combining them with their own, and even with the Cultivation Technique Ning Qi himself cultivated, to perfect an even more flawless Immortal Realm Cultivation Technique.

Of course, this new Cultivation Technique was primarily Divine Text–based. Ning Qi was clearly helping the Saint Ancestor, intending first to help him forge a Cultivation Technique capable of condensing a Golden Immortal Sect.

High above the square, the shadow of the Enlightenment Realm Tree swayed, and more power drooped down, making the minds of the three grow ever more clear and empty, with inspiration surging forth unendingly.

”Don’t just stand there watching, you two—join in.”

Ning Qi suddenly spoke, startling the other two out of their daze.

”We’re joining as well?”

The Sea Ancestor stared at the constantly revised and deduced Cultivation Technique, uncertain.

”Of course. Human strength has its limits. No matter how many ideas I have alone, I can’t make it absolutely flawless. You two are also Cultivators who can become Immortal; in what you’ve comprehended, there must be places that surpass a youngster like me.”

Hearing this, the two knew Ning Qi was speaking with modesty.

To modify and perfect, on the spot, a Cultivation Technique that could lead to becoming Immortal—this...

Such a thing, they had never heard of, never seen, and had never even dared to imagine.

”With the strength of the three of us, plus the Complete Heaven Immortal Guide Scripture of the Mountain Ancestor, and the Taiyin Flying Immortal Scripture, and so many Cultivation Techniques upon the cliff face here, I’m confident we can create a perfect Cultivation Technique suited to the Saint Ancestor.”

Ning Qi’s hand never stopped moving as he continuously guided the two.

In truth, what he was doing appeared somewhat reckless in their eyes.

After all, they were merely Lower Realm cultivators; just obtaining a single Cultivation Technique that could be cultivated up to the Immortal Realm was already great fortune.

And yet they still wanted, with their shallow experience, to alter an Immortal Realm Cultivation Technique, to further perfect it—this truly was somewhat overestimating themselves.

However, Ning Qi, as someone who had self-created a Realm Lord cultivation system, had always been working hard to perfect his own Cultivation Technique.

He was not trying to single-handedly create a completely different Immortal Dao Technique from scratch, but to perfect an Immortal Dao Technique with existing foundations and references; for him, this was not that difficult.

Ning Qi actually had no intention of showing off his skills; it was just that if he wanted his own Realm Lord cultivation system to break through to the Rule Realm, then undoubtedly using existing Immortal Realm Cultivation Techniques for deduction and creation right now would be beneficial for the next step of his self-created Realm Lord cultivation system.

The Sea Ancestor and the Saint Ancestor stared at the Divine Text Cultivation Technique Ning Qi was inscribing.

The Sea Ancestor’s icy eyes flickered. With her own level of insight, she found she simply could not see any flaws in the Cultivation Technique as altered by Ning Qi.

At the very least, this meant that the Cultivation Technique Ning Qi had modified was feasible.

”Saint Venerable, I’ve examined the Cultivation Technique you cultivated. From what I see, there doesn’t appear to be any problem with the modifications made by the Realm Venerable, but in the end only you, who have personally cultivated it, can truly confirm that.”

The Saint Ancestor stood to the side; his hand had been stroking his beard, but had actually frozen there for a long time.

He said weakly, ”From what I see, there doesn’t seem to be any mistake either. However, there are indeed some areas that need my personal involvement to become even better.”

With that said, the Saint Ancestor actually responded to Ning Qi’s call, took a step forward, and joined Ning Qi in the experiment of perfecting the Immortal Dao Technique.

”Kid, if we refine it like this here, what do you think?”

The Saint Ancestor spoke up.

The Sea Ancestor could clearly hear a tone of seeking instruction from Ning Qi in his voice.

”Interesting. Is this not, in itself, a discussion of the Dao?”

The Sea Ancestor laughed softly and joined in as well, voicing the areas where she felt improvements could be made.
