Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 669 - 295: Star Fusion Radiance Technique (Part 2)

Concerned for the Infinite Sword Sect's destiny, yet far more anxious about Ning Qi's well-being.

At last, she let out a deep breath of relief, her gaze fixed on Ning Qi as her eyes fluttered quickly.

Ning Qi noticed her look and responded with a warm smile.

The assembled Great Powers occupied seats in the majestic hall, fully aware that Ning Qi's summons went beyond merely sharing this update.

This announcement secured their alliance with the Niu Mo Upper Sect, and with protection in place, the pending matters could now proceed without delay.

Sure enough, moments later, a transmission arrived from Niu Dingtian of the Niu Mo Upper Sect.

"Younger Brother Ning, since that Sikong Qing refuses to show up, shall we press on with wiping out the Celestial Star Upper Sect? If you agree, just reply, and I'll rally the forces to head out right away."

Ning Qi fired off his response.

"Affirmative, we'll teleport straight to your Niu Mo Upper Sect."

Within the Niu Mo Upper Sect, the trio of Integration Realm Ancestors—Niu Dingtian, Hu Xiaotian, and Kong Caichen—huddled closely.

They watched the message-transmitting Jade Scroll with evident tension.

Upon reading Ning Qi's answer, the three Great Demons reacted with stunned surprise.

Of course, the teleportation portal Ning Qi had set up for them previously allowed him to send people across in reverse!

Still, the three demons had already pledged their loyalty to Ning Qi in prior discussions, so their minds harbored no reservations.

The demons felt even deeper gratitude for aligning with Ning Qi in time.

Without that, the impending merger of the Northern and Southern Domains into the Profound Truth Realm would leave only their two sects with Integration Realms in the unified territory, compelling all rivals to submit.

Niu Dingtian promptly called together the sect's great demons and True Disciples, drawing the entire demon assembly to the Niu Mo Upper Sect's teleportation portal, ready for the Infinite Sword Sect's arrivals.

Ning Qi briefed the Infinite Sword Sect members on the Niu Mo Upper Sect's situation.

No sooner had he wrapped up than Vice Sect Leader Cang Wanhe grinned and declared, "Sect Leader, don't exclude this old fellow this round."

Ning Qi shot him a look and gave a subtle nod.

Cang Wanhe's weathered features lit up with a grin, resembling a delighted kid.

The rest of the Great Powers chimed in eagerly, vowing to accompany Ning Qi to the Southern True Domain.

Ning Qi chose Qin Minghao and his group, True Man Zi Yang, Cang Wanhe, Lu Ziyue, plus two fresh Great Powers who hadn't joined before, and picked thirty True Disciples to form the strike force.

On this occasion, Jiang Ruhai stayed back to oversee the Infinite Sword Sect.

Jiang Ruhai bowed in acceptance, displaying no trace of discontent but instead a cheerful expression.

Before, Cang Wanhe had always been the one left to protect the sect, a sign of Ning Qi's profound faith in him.

Now that Jiang Ruhai took that role, it clearly showed Ning Qi's trust extended to him as well.

The ex-Sect Leader Jiang Baichuan had ventured out with Ning Qi once previously, so remaining this time, he held back any complaints.

It stemmed from his failure to back Ning Qi promptly in the past and even opposing him then.

Luckily, Ning Qi included him last time, effectively settling that old score.

At the same time, Ning Qi fostered a sect atmosphere where his strongest supporters received greater opportunities.

Take Qin Minghao and the other Top Ten True Inheritances—Ning Qi consistently brought them along and reserved two slots for additional Great Powers to promote equity.

Lu Ziyue quietly admired Ning Qi's leadership, astonished at how masterfully he managed the sect's people.

She reflected inwardly with wonder, realizing that after decades since escorting Ning Qi back without a single joint mission, this chance had finally arisen.

Next, Ning Qi guided the group to the sect's teleportation array.

He poured in a hefty amount of Spirit Stones, powering the array to its peak.

Misty Spiritual Qi swirled about, faintly unveiling the Niu Mo Upper Sect's interior at the target location.

Ning Qi ushered everyone into the array alongside him.

In a flash, their visions brightened, and they vanished entirely.

The disciples watching nearby the teleportation array marveled yet again at the Sect Leader's setup.

Though it had activated once before for Ning Qi's return last time, this marked its debut for crossing to another sect, leaving all in awe.

Niu Mo Upper Sect.

The demons kept their eyes glued to the teleportation array crafted by Ning Qi.

Abruptly, the massive array flared wide, and a mirror-like shield materialized over it.

Through this shield, the demons glimpsed those crossing the void array.

As Ning Qi and his companions' silhouettes showed on the shield, every demon caught their breath.

With an array this formidable, Ning Qi could whisk people across two domains in moments—utterly daunting.

The instant after, Ning Qi in his snow-white robes, followed by his entourage, stepped fully out of the mirror.

Mighty auras swept into the Niu Mo Upper Sect, spurring all demons to stand and greet them.

Earlier, Niu Dingtian, Niu Man, and fellow demons had shared tales of Ning Qi with their Niu Mo Upper Sect kin, painting him as a mythic figure.

Niu Dingtian chuckled and remarked, "Younger Brother Ning, I only now grasp the ease of your teleportation array. Just twenty breaths after our exchange, and you're here in the Niu Mo Upper Sect."

Ning Qi answered, "Brother Niu, enough chit-chat—time presses, so let's head straight to the Celestial Star Upper Sect."

The Peacock King Kong Caichen eyed Hu Xiaotian briefly.

Hu Xiaotian caught on instantly and sent a private message, "Brother Kong, take this trip yourself. I'll hold the fort here, so you can behold Sect Leader Ning's divine might firsthand."

Kong Caichen gave a nod.

With that, the disciples from both sects soared from the Niu Mo Upper Sect, advancing in splendid formation toward the Celestial Star Upper Sect.

Celestial Star Upper Sect.

The three Integration Realm Ancestors gathered in the sect leader's hall. Though Xia Tianhe hadn't returned, his report had come through.

Sikong Qing of the Unity Realm stayed hidden in seclusion, refusing to emerge, sealing the Celestial Star Upper Sect's grim fate.
