Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 623 - 283: Ten Years (Part 4)

Building upon his existing reserves, he utilized the newly acquired resources to condense four additional rules in rapid succession, following the Rule Origin of Wood.

The rules of Darkness and Ice were especially prominent among them, offering immense support to the stability of the entire True Martial Realm.

During this period, numerous reincarnators gathered a vast array of Spiritual Treasures for Ning Qi. These were funneled into the True Martial Realm, allowing him to forge yet another Rule Origin.

Having previously mastered eight Rule Origins, he had now birthed six more, bringing his grand total to fourteen Rule Origins.

Following these achievements, Ning Qi entered a state of deep, secluded meditation.

Within the mountains, time flowed by unnoticed; the seasons cycled through the growth of summer, the harvest of autumn, the storage of winter, and the return of spring.

A decade passed in what felt like the blink of an eye.

Finally, Ning Qi emerged from his long seclusion.

Deep within his Inner World.

Countless beams of divine light erupted as Ning Qi stirred. When his eyes snapped open, two celestial rays cut through the boundaries of the True Martial Realm, piercing directly into the Sea of Realms.

The vast Sea of Realms reacted instantly, as if a massive boulder had been tossed into its depths—a feat Ning Qi was incapable of achieving in the past.

With a single step, he manifested at the Boundary Wall.

Ning Qi suddenly moved his fingers into a sword gesture, slicing a dustpan-sized mass of chaotic clouds from the Sea of Realms. He pulled the essence into the True Martial Realm, where it was seamlessly integrated.

Through ten years of intense contemplation, Ning Qi had gained a total mastery over the teachings of the Sword Ancestor.

Whether it was the path of One Sword Breaks Ten Thousand Techniques or the concept of Sword Dao Controls Ten Thousand Paths, Ning Qi’s understanding had now eclipsed that of the Sword Ancestor.

The only thing he could not yet replicate was the Sword Ancestor’s ten-kilometer-long Sword Dao Rule Divine Chain, though every rule Ning Qi controlled now stretched for thousands of meters.

The True Martial Realm had undergone another metamorphosis over these ten years.

As the Realm Lord, Ning Qi had supplemented the world with various rules, causing the True Martial Realm to double in size compared to its previous state.

The population of sentient beings within the realm had also doubled during this decade.

The same rapid growth applied to the cultivators residing there.

The realm now boasted five Void Path Realm experts and a thousand Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators, with countless others at various stages below them.

Meanwhile, inside the Infinite Sword Sect.

As his true body stirred, Ning Qi’s reincarnation body awakened at the exact same moment.

Fourteen distinct Rule Divine Chains manifested naturally in the void, casting Ning Qi in an aura that was simultaneously godlike and demonic.

The Sect Leader’s private residence suddenly buckled and collapsed, unable to endure the sheer pressure of the energy radiating from Ning Qi’s form.

The Sword Ancestor was the first to notice the disturbance, followed shortly by the Elders and the nearby True Inheritors.

The crowd rushed to the scene, but upon seeing Ning Qi, they were so overwhelmed with shock that they nearly tumbled from the clouds.

Even though the residence the Sect Leader had used for tens of thousands of years lay in ruins, not a single person felt anger.

After a decade of absence, their Sect Leader appeared even more transcendent than before, radiating an aura that made everyone feel an instinctive urge to bow in worship.

Fourteen Rule Divine Chains of varying colors blazed in the air, coiling like celestial dragons through the void, while Ning Qi stood at the center like a god-king commanding ten thousand dragons.

Suddenly, the Rule Divine Dragons snapped inward, shrinking with the speed of a mustard seed containing an elephant, until they attached themselves directly to the surface of Ning Qi’s body.

An Elder whispered in awe, "Is this truly..."

With eyes flashing with envy, the Sword Ancestor explained to the onlookers, "This marks the start of Rule Attachment; he has stepped into the Half-step Integration Realm!"

The crowd was struck with disbelief!

In a mere ten years, their Sect Leader had moved past the Perfection stage of the Void Path and begun his ascent toward the Unity Realm.

Although the rules were only just beginning to attach to his body, everyone understood the weight of this development.

It was highly likely that Ning Qi could now slay early-stage Integration Realm giants and even contend with mid-stage powerhouses of that realm!

After all, even before his seclusion, Ning Qi was capable of killing unparalleled Great Powers and had fought hundreds of rounds against Niu Dingtian, the perfected Integration Realm giant of the Niu Mo Upper Sect.

Ning Qi shifted his gaze toward the gathered crowd.

"Since you have all assembled, the timing is perfect for me to transmit the insights I have gathered over the last ten years."

The hum of Tao Sound filled the atmosphere, and ethereal lotus flowers began to bloom in every corner.

Feeling their minds and bodies being washed clean of impurities, everyone quickly sat down to listen to the sacred Tao Sound.

Even the Sword Ancestor took a seat nearby, watching Ning Qi with a gaze full of intense curiosity and anticipation.
