Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 638 - 286: Five Elements Sword Venerate, Beixuan Wushuang_3

A blinding flash of sword light tore through the ranks of the Feather Transformation and Blood Demon Sects, causing the very fabric of space to buckle. An enormous black hole manifested in the void, swallowing every last member of the two sects and burying them in the abyss!

Rumble, rumble!

A significant amount of time passed before the spatial rift mended itself. Once the black hole vanished, nothing remained of the enemies.

In the airspace belonging to the Infinite Sword Sect, the disciples and elders floated, their breathing heavy from the exertion.

Despite their fatigue, a sense of overwhelming exhilaration filled them—they had succeeded! Through the benevolence of their Sect Leader and years of grueling Cultivation, their sudden ascent had left the entire world in awe!

The spectators watching the void restore itself were drenched in a cold sweat. The Infinite Sword Sect possessed a level of power that far exceeded their wildest imaginations and most daring predictions.

When this conflict between the three sects began, many had predicted that the Infinite Sword Sect would suffer heavy losses even if they managed to hold their ground. Even that was considered a generous estimation.

Now, however, it was clear to everyone that the Infinite Sword Sect was not merely capable of resisting the combined might of two great sects; they could completely annihilate their foes without losing a single man!

"Has a joint battle array of such terrifying power ever been seen before?" someone whispered in disbelief.

The crowd could only shake their heads in response. The array had been executed by cultivators across two different realms, weaving together various elemental attributes into a single strike. Had someone claimed it was a secret formation passed down by Immortals, no one would have doubted it.

"We all knew what the Infinite Sword Sect was capable of before, and the original Infinite Sword Scripture couldn't possibly produce such results. How could their transformation be this radical?" One observer scratched his head, desperate to find the secret behind their growth.

"Is there even a need to ask? This must be the work of Sect Leader Ning. For hundreds of thousands of years, the Infinite Sword Sect remained stagnant, yet they reached these terrifying heights the moment Sect Leader Ning emerged!"

Faced with this logic, the crowd found no room for argument and accepted it as the undeniable truth.

Their collective gaze shifted once more toward the white-clad figure standing with his hands clasped behind his back. As the sunlight descended from the heavens, his white robes shimmered with a transcendental glow, making him appear like an Immortal who had descended into the mortal world.

One had to wonder: was the man standing before them truly an Immortal?

The eyes of the onlookers flickered with a storm of complex emotions. They realized that under the brilliance of that man, they could only look up at the Infinite Sword Sect in reverence.

Even those sects that had no previous grievances with the Infinite Sword Sect felt a sense of profound awe. Among the Five Sects that had originally clashed with them, the cultivators who had apologized early wiped the perspiration from their brows, feeling a wave of relief. They were fortunate to have mended their ties with the Infinite Sword Sect at the very beginning.

In contrast, the members of the Infinite Sect—who had only surrendered after three days of hesitation—were visibly trembling. They had come perilously close to sharing the same gruesome fate as the Blood Demon Sect!

It was a mercy that their Sect Leader had personally intervened to resolve the crisis before it was too late. Now that the Blood Demon Sect was erased and the reinforcements from the Feather Transformation Upper Sect were slain, the dust had finally settled.

Ning Qi turned abruptly, his cold, indifferent eyes scanning the assembled crowd. Everywhere his gaze landed, people instinctively lowered their heads in submission.

Eventually, Ning Qi’s eyes locked onto the disciples from the Infinite Sect. Under the sheer pressure of his gaze, several cultivators could no longer maintain their flight and tumbled to the ground.

Scrambling to their feet, they cried out in unison: "Five Elements Sword Venerate, Beixuan Wushuang! Our Infinite Sect willingly submits to your authority!"

The crowd was momentarily stunned by the title. Generally, a cultivator is called a Giant upon entering the Integration Realm, but the title of 'Venerate' is reserved for those who have reached the stage of Perfection. Although Ning Qi was only in the early stage of the Integration Realm, the fact that he had effortlessly crushed the late-stage Ye Wuxin made the title of 'Sword Venerate' feel entirely appropriate!

No one dared to raise an objection. A few quick-witted individuals began to chant the name as well, and soon, the entire crowd was united in hailing Ning Qi as the Five Elements Sword Venerate.

The members of the Infinite Sword Sect felt a surge of pride and motivation.

"It is good that you understand your place," Ning Qi remarked tonelessly. He withdrew his gaze and looked toward his own disciples. "Let us return to the sect."

"Yes, Sect Leader!"

In a heartbeat, the members of the Infinite Sword Sect vanished, turning into streaks of sword-light that shot toward the north. The onlookers waited until they were completely out of sight before they dared to depart.

News of the battle’s outcome swept through the Beixuan Domain like wildfire. Detailed accounts of Ning Qi’s power and the strength of his true inheritors were recorded in every corner of the region. The impact of the event continued to grow, sending shockwaves through the entire domain.

Every sect understood that a new era had begun—one dominated by the undisputed power of the Infinite Sword Sect.

However, a few remained skeptical about the sect's long-term future. Given the proximity of the Southern True Domain, some felt it was reckless of Ning Qi to so decisively slaughter the members of the Feather Transformation Upper Sect. That sect still boasted two Integration Realm experts—one at the late stage and one Perfected Venerate—making them even more formidable than the former Beixuan Upper Sect.

Furthermore, the Southern True Domain housed the Celestial Star Upper Sect and the Niu Mo Upper Sect, with the former having recently formed a close alliance with the Feather Transformation Upper Sect.

Nevertheless, the majority of people believed that as long as Ning Qi remained, it was only a matter of time before they eclipsed the Southern True Domain. For too long, the sects of the Beixuan Domain had been looked down upon; the emergence of an 'Immortal Species' like Ning Qi naturally drew their loyalty and hope.

By this time, the original ten upper sects of the Beixuan Domain had been whittled down to eight. As the echoes of the great battle resonated, seven of the remaining upper sects and countless smaller factions traveled to the Infinite Sword Sect to offer their collective congratulations.
