Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 628 - 285: Killing the Chicken to Warn the Monkey

After three decades of closed-door cultivation, Ning Qi’s reincarnation body has finally reached the Integration Realm, establishing him as the most powerful figure in the Beixuan Domain.

Initial projections suggested it would take a full century of effort to achieve this level of Cultivation.

The timeline was drastically shortened because of the Five Elements Divine Chain, which can independently refine Rule Origin from the Sea of Realms, accelerating his main body's progress.

As a result, this reincarnation body reaped the rewards of the main body's growth, gaining a total understanding of thirty-one rule powers within just thirty years.

Furthermore, the external environment had become increasingly volatile; a war in the Spirit Realm was looming, and the Mountain and Sea Realm Will was pushing Sects to invade smaller worlds, all while hidden agendas swirled through the Northern and Southern Domains.

Following the downfall of the Beixuan Upper Sect, the Feather Transformation Upper Sect from the Southern True Domain had begun making clandestine moves within the Beixuan Domain.

Ancestor Niu Dingtian of the Niu Mo Upper Sect, an Integration Realm powerhouse, had pledged to help obstruct the Feather Transformation and Celestial Star Upper Sects, but Ning Qi knew that relying on outsiders was not enough to keep all rivals at bay.

Consequently, it was vital for Ning Qi to reveal his overwhelming power as the leader of his Sect.

At the Infinite Sword Sect.

The atmosphere shifted violently as a rainbow-colored mist rose from the ground and various divine rule lights flashed across the heavens before flowing into Ning Qi.

Standing high above the sky, he appeared to be the sole source of radiance in the universe.

The Integration Realm involves merging rule powers directly into the physical form, allowing every movement to manifest as a profound divine technique.

Ning Qi’s five internal organs glowed most brilliantly; having mastered the Five Elements Rules, he fused them into his anatomy.

Lungs of metal, liver of wood, kidneys of water, heart of fire, and spleen of earth—as he internalized the Five Elements, the resonance of the Great Dao echoed through the air.

Using the Five Elements Rules as his core Foundation, he could command all other rules to function in harmony.

With a single breath, Ning Qi was now capable of triggering diverse divine techniques, including the Three-Fire, Five Elements Divine Lei, and Lung Metal Sword Qi.

Upon entering the Integration Realm, combat is no longer the tedious process found in the Primordial Spirit Realm, where one must commune with the world to draw out rules for battle.

Rules now live within him, controlled entirely by his physical body, effectively turning him into a miniature world of rules.

Just as he had previously utilized the power of his main body to fight Zhou Tianzi of the Beixuan Upper Sect, his future combat style would focus heavily on his physical strength.

This meant all the body-tempering cultivation techniques he had mastered would finally reach their true potential in the Integration Realm!

The true inheritance Elders of the Infinite Sword Sect hurried toward Ning Qi’s location.

Since the Sect leader was finishing his seclusion, there was a chance he might provide another lecture.

They gazed at his immortal-like silhouette, their hearts filled with a mixture of awe and joy.

In its hundreds of thousands of years of history, the Infinite Sword Sect had finally produced an Integration Realm titan, and a remarkably young one at that.

The Sect was incredibly lucky to have birthed such an Immortal Species!

They felt privileged to exist in the same generation as Ning Qi.

An aged Elder named Peng Duoshuo wept with happiness; though his life was nearing its end, he had lived to see the Infinite Sword Sect rise to the status of a top Upper Sect.

He realized this was not the conclusion of their journey, but a fresh beginning.

His faith in Ning Qi was absolute!

During the previous teaching session, Ning Qi’s guidance allowed Peng Duoshuo to surpass his limits and extend his life; now, he felt as though he might never face death.

Ning Qi entered a transcendent state where his mind and body were perfectly clear.

He did not need his eyes or his divine sense to see; through pure perception, he could track every movement within the Infinite Sword Sect.

The disciples and elders flew toward him like birds seeking an audience with their king.

Ning Qi regained his focus and whispered, "So this is the Integration Realm?"

His main body followed the path of a Realm Lord, which was unique; therefore, he relied on this reincarnation body to experience the traditional path of a cultivator.

By comparison, Ning Qi found the standard Integration Realm path to be quite fascinating.

His main body could sense everything in the True Martial Realm because as a Realm Lord, he and the world were one.

Now that his reincarnation body had reached the Integration Realm, he felt his physical form had become its own small world, possessing distinct world-like capabilities.

Normally, those in the Integration Realm are limited by the Spirit Realm's laws and the Spirit Realm Will.

He faced no such restrictions, however, as he possessed the true Dao and was only using the Spirit Realm's path as a disguise.

Even though he had just attained the Integration Realm, his combat prowess was likely superior to those at the Perfection Integration Realm.

Ning Qi’s form descended gracefully onto the plaza of the Central Peak.

Every elder and true inheritor gathered there, taking their seats in an orderly fashion around him.

"We congratulate the Sect leader on reaching the Integration Realm!"

The greeting was shouted in perfect unison.

Ning Qi gave a small nod, his perception reflecting everyone's current state like a clear mirror.

In the thirty years that had passed, everyone’s Cultivation had improved significantly.

Those with close ties to him had all advanced by at least one minor realm.

Ziyang, Jiang Ruhai, and Cang Wanhe had reached the peak of the Void Path and were now attempting to anchor rules to their bodies to reach the half-step Integration Realm.

“I have previously shown you the path from the Primordial Spirit to the peak of the Void Path; now, I shall transmit the method of Integration into your minds.”

Once more, Ning Qi utilized the Primordial Spirit Embryo Technique to project rule shadows into the air, illustrating the transition from the Void Path to the Integration Realm.

The Elders watched the shadows intently, holding their breath as they synchronized their Primordial Spirit power with the projections to gain firsthand experience.

While they already knew the theory of advancement from their own techniques, theoretical knowledge was different from practical application, which often led to mistakes.

It was clear that the specialized guidance from their Sect leader was far more effective than any manual.
