Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 621 - 283: Ten Years (Part 2)

By this time, Niu Dingtian was certain that Ning Qi’s natural talent had surpassed that of Sword Shocking.

After all, while Sword Shocking was a legendary figure from over ten millennia ago, Ning Qi was still remarkably youthful.

Upon verification, he realized that Ning Qi’s Void Path Realm foundation was incredibly stable. It was no mystery why the Infinite Sword Sect had appointed him as their Sect Leader.

This decision wasn't born from a lack of talent within the sect, but rather because Ning Qi’s prowess had truly eclipsed the others.

Consequently, Niu Dingtian’s approval of Niu Man grew; befriending someone like Ning Qi was likely the greatest stroke of luck in Niu Man’s entire life.

Niu Dingtian had intended to stop there, but he noticed Ning Qi watching him with a playful glint in his eyes.

Why had this Integration Realm giant opted for the Qiu Niu Divine Form?

It was worth noting that Ning Qi had recently transformed into Lord Zhanxuan, utilizing the Nine Sons of the Dragon Divine Form—which included the Qiu Niu—to obliterate Zhou Tianzi, a master at the Integration Realm Perfection.

“Senior Niu, there is one more technique I would like to exchange with you,” Ning Qi remarked with composure.

Niu Dingtian was startled, “Oh?”

He had assumed that the previous sword strike was Ning Qi’s ultimate move, never imagining the youth still held a trump card in reserve.

The crowd of onlookers erupted in hushed exclamations.

Even the Sword Ancestor felt a flicker of doubt. Having sparred with Ning Qi himself, he was certain that the One Sword Breaks Ten Thousand Techniques he had imparted was the boy's strongest attack.

How could Ning Qi possess another technique now?

He was secretly stunned—had this youngster achieved a new level of enlightenment so rapidly once again?

“Then allow me to witness it,” Niu Dingtian said, retreating to his starting position.

Ning Qi inhaled deeply, his gaze radiating a divine brilliance.

In his current reincarnation body, he could only reign supreme within the Void Path Realm; he was unable to draw upon the Realm Power of his original body from the Beixuan Upper Sect to face Niu Dingtian.

However, since Niu Dingtian had manifested the Qiu Niu Divine Form, Ning Qi felt compelled to test his own boundaries.

Ning Qi’s Primordial Spirit Power surged violently. One after another, Rule Divine Chains materialized in the air, shimmering with a kaleidoscope of lights.

Niu Man and the other monsters watched in awe as so many lengthy Rule Divine Chains appeared.

Even Niu Dingtian’s pupils narrowed involuntarily. Heavens, it appeared this youth had been hiding his true depth; it was a mistake to believe the One Sword Breaks Ten Thousand Techniques was his limit.

Using his Primordial Spirit Power to manipulate the Rule Divine Chains, Ning Qi suddenly seemed to merge his Primordial Spirit with the chains themselves.

This was an evolution of the Void Divine Spirit Refining True Technique from the Beixuan Upper Sect—the Primordial Spirit Embryo Technique, which only those in the Void Path Realm could execute!

Most Cultivators viewed this as a possession method, used to hijack another’s body if their own physical form was destroyed while the Primordial Spirit survived.

Yet, Ning Qi had refined the technique further, enabling him to seize not just flesh, but the very rules of heaven and earth.

Before the eyes of the crowd, the Rule Divine Chains in the void began to weave together a spectral shape.

The figure gradually became solid, manifesting clearly to the spectators.

Rules of Gold, Lightning, and Wind transformed into its talons and teeth, while the Rule of Earth solidified its massive frame.

A Qiu Niu manifested from the emptiness, staring down at the onlookers with a gaze that commanded absolute authority.

Niu Man and the other monsters gasped, unable to believe what they were seeing. Why did Ning Qi’s manifested Qiu Niu Divine Form appear even more authentic than their Ancestor’s? It possessed a genuine Qiu Niu Divine Intent!

Niu Dingtian was stunned once more, sharing the same realization as the others.

Since breaking into the Integration Realm, he had tirelessly refined the rules within his own body, eventually choosing the Qiu Niu as his primary divine technique.

To this day, Niu Dingtian’s Qiu Niu possessed the correct shape, but its divine intent always felt slightly hollow.

The Qiu Niu summoned by Ning Qi lunged at Niu Dingtian, every strike filled with terrifying ferocity!

Unlike the One Sword Breaks Ten Thousand Techniques, it did not tear the void into black holes. Instead, it felt as though the entire atmosphere revolved around the creature, exerting a crushing pressure on Niu Dingtian.

Niu Dingtian refused to remain passive. He also shifted into his Qiu Niu form, and the two divine beasts collided mid-air.

Their battle raged from the heavens down to the earth, pulverizing the stone square, before ascending back into the clouds. Thunder crashed incessantly, drowned out only by roars that caused the mountains to tremble. Moo!

The longer Niu Dingtian fought, the more his shock intensified.

He was currently exerting twenty-five percent of his Integration Realm strength, yet he had failed to instantly overwhelm Ning Qi.

On the contrary, he found himself being pushed back. It was as if Ning Qi’s Qiu Niu Divine Form was the true original, completely dominating Niu Dingtian’s version through sheer bloodline divine intent.

What unsettled Niu Dingtian most was a growing seed of fear in his heart—a truly bizarre sensation.

Finally, after hundreds of clashes, Niu Dingtian was forced to use thirty percent of his power to finally shatter Ning Qi’s Qiu Niu Divine Form.

The turbulence subsided. Niu Dingtian landed on the ruined square, facing Ning Qi.

Because Ning Qi had used the Primordial Spirit Embryo Technique to inhabit the rules, his physical body had remained stationary, sitting cross-legged in a corner during the fight.

Now, Ning Qi’s eyes fluttered open. He stood and walked until he was only three feet from Niu Dingtian.

Bowing with clasped hands, he said, “Senior Niu, your Cultivation is truly vast. I am no match for you.”

A wide, beaming grin broke across Niu Dingtian’s bovine face. He produced a Jade Scroll and offered it to Ning Qi.

“Young friend, your talent is a rarity in this world. Within this scroll is the method to refine the Qiu Niu form for an Integration Realm body, along with the insights of my life’s work. Why shouldn't I gift it to you?”

At this sight, the jaws of the onlookers practically hit the floor.

Niu Man and the other monsters traded looks, realizing that while the Ancestor had started by testing Ning Qi, he was now being incredibly forward in his attempts to befriend him. He was even addressing him as 'young friend'!

Sword Ancestor Sword Shocking felt the most irritated. Dammit—calling him 'Swordsman' while calling Ning Qi 'young friend' made it feel like his seniority had just been demoted!
