Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 683 - 299: Return to Glory

Standing amid the emptiness, Ning Qi lifted his hand with grace and aimed it toward the shrunken Infinite Sword Sect from a distance, declaring in a resonant tone, "Descend!"

The immense Infinite Sword Sect promptly initiated its downward motion.

The landscape below had already been smoothed out by the group, allowing the Infinite Sword Sect's contours to fit seamlessly onto it.

Rumble!

Amid the thunderous roar of its lowering, the Infinite Sword Sect's foundation finally touched down.

It had now transformed into a perfected artifact, blending effortlessly with the earth beneath.

At the same time, guided by Ning Qi’s command, the Infinite Sword Sect's domain stretched to triple its prior extent, leaving a subtle void inside.

Yet its grand formation emitted brilliant rays, hungrily drawing in the Spiritual Qi and principles from the surrounding area.

This spot served as the core of the Profound Truth Realm's transformation, brimming with dense Spiritual Qi that felt almost solid to the touch.

Amid the sweeping shifts of the world, laws arose on their own, carrying the essence of genesis, slowly replenishing the gap formed by the Infinite Sword Sect's growth.

Mountains, rivers, fields, and ridges materialized at a pace the eye could follow.

The onlookers, trailing behind, marveled at the awesome might of the Infinite Sword Sect’s formation; its rate of pulling in Spiritual Qi and laws proved staggeringly fierce.

However, at the heart of this worldly upheaval, the Spiritual Qi and laws appeared boundless, showing no signs of waning.

Thus, fueled by this endless flow of Spiritual Qi, the Infinite Sword Sect grew ever more unassailable.

The assembly gazed upon the transformed Infinite Sword Sect, and after a quick assessment, realized that even uniting every sect in the Profound Truth Realm couldn't rival it.

This held true for its positioning, its scale, and its protective array.

Soon enough, the Infinite Sword Sect's grand formation ceased its activity, much like a satisfied diner after a feast.

The shining barrier faded into obscurity, exposing all but a few restricted zones to the viewers' eyes.

Grand halls, lofty spires, sacred peaks, and divine springs dotted the landscape, each pulsing with the rhythm of the Dao.

The Infinite Sword Sect's disciples beamed with delight at their revitalized home.

Ever since the Sect Leader assumed command, guiding them from a mere Upper Sect to dominance over the Profound Truth Realm, none could predict his next destination, yet all sensed this was far from the sect's ultimate potential.

They turned their eyes to Ning Qi, silent but eager for his words.

Ning Qi swept his gaze across the crowd and chuckled, "Why linger out here? Come inside the sect, everyone."

"As you command, Sect Leader!"

Ning Qi gave a nod, then turned to the representatives from other sects, "You should join us too; I have tasks to delegate."

Hearing his invitation, they swiftly replied, "Understood, Alliance Hierarch!"

Thanks to their role in shifting the Infinite Sword Sect, these cultivators had reaped huge gains, solidifying Ning Qi’s role as Alliance Hierarch in their minds.

Even now, if Ning Qi tried to step down from being Alliance Hierarch, they wouldn't allow it.

Ning Qi soared to the freshly built central plaza of the Infinite Sword Sect and settled into the primary seat.

The others trailed after him and found their places.

Niu Dingtian was the first to clasp his fists and inquire, "Alliance Hierarch, we'll always remember this favor. Are there further orders? We'll exert ourselves fully to carry them out."

Ning Qi tilted his head skyward, watching as Spiritual Qi surged through the upper atmosphere, stirring the clouds into dramatic waves.

He remarked, "Everyone understands that the upheavals in Profound Truth Realm are only starting. To bring it back to its golden era, how much time do you estimate it'll require?"

Niu Dingtian paused for a moment.

At his side, Luo Feiyu, Sect Leader of Luotian Upper Sect, spoke up, "To Alliance Hierarch: Our Luotian Upper Sect specializes in tracking heavenly shifts. I predict the Profound Truth Realm's changes will persist for a full century more before reaching its past heights."

"A century?" Numerous voices echoed in astonishment.

They shared uneasy looks, faces etched with pressing concern.

The revival of Profound Truth Realm was undoubtedly positive, aiding every sect inside it.

Yet with Spirit Realm Warfare potentially erupting anytime, enduring a century felt impossible.

Through Ning Qi's efforts to merge all Profound Truth Realm's powers into the Profound Truth Alliance, he'd provided a vital shield for the sects.

His earlier act of moving the sect had also elevated their cultivation bases, boosting chances of enduring the Spirit Realm Warfare.

Should Profound Truth Realm reclaim its zenith prior to the Spirit Realm Warfare's onset, their assurance would soar!

After deep reflection, the gathering felt at a loss for solutions.

A few sharp minds abruptly grasped the intent behind Ning Qi's query; he must possess an answer.

Thus, Xia Xing, Sect Leader of Celestial Star Upper Sect, rose and declared, "Alliance Hierarch, have you discovered a method to hasten Profound Truth Realm's evolution?"

His statement promptly jogged the thoughts of those assembled.

All eyes fixed on Ning Qi with hopeful intensity.

Ning Qi cast an approving look at Xia Xing; as expected, folks from True Martial Realm grasped his ideas quickest.

Then Ning Qi announced, "Over these last two years, I've orchestrated three major initiatives, each geared toward readying us for Spirit Realm Warfare."

"To begin with, given your acknowledgment of me as Profound Truth's Domain Master, I'm setting up the Profound Truth Alliance to consolidate every force, thereby raising the odds of survival for our realm's cultivators amid Spirit Realm Warfare."

"Next, drawing you into the Infinite Sword Sect's relocation served two aims: first, to test your genuine backing of me as Domain Master and Alliance Hierarch, and second, to casually elevate your power levels."

He grinned while eyeing certain sect leaders there, adding, "A few of you proved masterful at grasping chances, rallying your whole sects to aid our move, even beyond what I'd anticipated at the outset."

Those sect leaders couldn't suppress their smiles.

True enough, they'd capitalized on the moment, and their entire sects had seen remarkable cultivation advances.
