Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 627 - 284: Integration Realm (Part 4)
Previously on Cultivating with Top Enlightenment...
Deep within the True Martial Realm.
Realm Lord Ning Qi arrived once more at the boundary wall.
He cast a colossal divine chain of the five elements out toward the Sea of Realms.
Within the murky, grey expanse of the Sea of Realms, the five-colored divine radiance shimmered softly. Like a fishing vessel braving the open ocean, the five-element divine chain struggled through the Sea of Realms to harvest fragments of the power of rules, delivering them instantly back to the True Martial Realm.
Ning Qi utilized the five-element divine chain primarily to siphon rule origin from the Sea of Realms, rather than just using it as a seal. He had invested immense effort into perfecting this dharma method, and its maiden voyage was already yielding promising results.
As Ning Qi monitored the influx of rule power, he calculated that the five-element divine chain would take roughly one year to independently synthesize a rule origin for the True Martial Realm.
From this point forward, he was no longer dependent on consuming rule jade or spiritual treasures to advance his cultivation; his hands were finally free, much like owning an automated blood-producing machine. Furthermore, at this pace, he—having already mastered fourteen rules—would be able to manifest a hundred powers of rules for the True Martial Realm in just a few decades!
By condensing a hundred rule origins, the Realm Lord himself could attain the small success realm of rules!
Once he reached small success, Ning Qi would be peerless within the Unity Realm. Even now, with so much power of rules gathered, Ning Qi’s physical body likely possessed the strength required to challenge the Unity Realm.
...
Time flowed on, and thirty years vanished in the blink of an eye.
Inside the Infinite Sword Sect.
Utilizing his heaven-defying enlightenment, Ning Qi developed numerous dharma methods and bestowed further treasures upon the Sword Sect. He created diverse individual combat techniques and various coordinated battle formations, ensuring that Sword Sect disciples possessed the power to fight whether they were alone or in groups, even when facing formidable foes.
Simultaneously, Ning Qi carved out alternative paths for those disciples who lacked a talent for direct combat. Alchemy, artifact refining, and the art of formations began to take root and flourish within the Infinite Sword Sect. Any disciple who showed excellence in these fields was granted the same status and treatment as the true inheritors.
As a result, the Infinite Sword Sect witnessed a golden age across multiple disciplines over those thirty years. Ning Qi built a comprehensive ecosystem for both elders and true inheritors, fostering cooperation and mutual growth, which significantly fortified the foundation of the Infinite Sword Sect.
Due to the systems Ning Qi established, the number of true inheritors in the Inner Essence Realm suddenly exploded, multiplying several times over. Naturally, more than ten new powerhouses emerged at the Void Path Realm as well.
The total foundation of the Infinite Sword Sect had already eclipsed the former Beixuan Upper Sect and even surpassed the three premier Upper Sects of the Southern True Domain.
As for Ning Qi himself.
On this particular day, the Infinite Sword Sect began to shake.
Every member of the sect turned their gaze toward a single location—the secluded cultivation dwelling of their revered Sect Leader. Though that dwelling had been leveled by the Sect Leader’s previous breakthrough and subsequently rebuilt, the current tremors were so violent that it was clear the Sect Leader had reached another monumental milestone.
Eyes shining with anticipation, the disciples took to the sky, racing toward the source while watching from a distance. Those who arrived first were met with a stunning sight.
On the ground, the spiritual Qi of the sect seemed to be drawn toward a single point, swirling like a multicolored mist across the earth. In the heavens above, a multitude of rule divine chains manifested; upon closer inspection, each one measured three thousand feet in length.
When the observers tried to count the different types of rules present, they were struck with awe—there were approximately forty-five. The number was uncertain because some appeared only as faint silhouettes.
The crowd stared at the dense, vibrant net of rule divine chains that draped across the sky like a celestial web; the figures of those flying nearby seemed like mere sparrows in comparison. Even though Sect Leader Ning Qi had yet to emerge, the sheer scale of the phenomenon made everyone’s hearts pound!
Judging by this display, the Sect Leader was likely on the verge of breaking through to the Integration Realm!
Suddenly, the doors of the seclusion chamber burst open, and Ning Qi’s form soared directly into the firmament. In the sky, the countless rule divine chains rushed back toward him, appearing to merge with his very flesh and bone as they were absorbed into his body.
His physique appeared as the most flawless vessel in existence, an exquisite masterpiece seemingly forged by the heavens and earth themselves. In that instant, Ning Qi became entirely translucent, standing as the singular, most vital presence within the Infinite Sword Sect.
He was the focal point of the cosmos; his every breath resonated with the pulse of the universe.
The Integration Realm had been achieved!
