Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 685 - 299: Return to Peak Glory (Part 3)

High upon the central seat, Ning Qi perched with his Dharma Eye gently downcast, gazing toward Luo Feiyu.

"Sect Leader Luo, I'll speak plainly upfront. Setting up the teleportation array means falling under the sway of our Infinite Sword Sect. Are you truly certain about this?"

Solemnly, Luo Feiyu replied:

"The Alliance Hierarch's renowned exploits are well-known to me. Throughout, the Alliance Hierarch has behaved with utmost righteousness, whether clashing against foes or engaging in conflicts with rival sects, often purely in defense or to champion justice against wickedness."

"Although my Luotian Upper Sect rarely crosses paths with the Infinite Sword Sect, right now, we've received immense favor from the Alliance Hierarch's benevolence—such profound gratitude defies full recompense. Even after returning to mend our void spiritual veins, the debt remains."

"Thus, I place my faith in the Alliance Hierarch and consent to installing a teleportation array inside our sect. I merely ask if the Alliance Hierarch might grace us with a visit?"

Ning Qi cast a quick look at Zhuang Chen trailing behind him.

Zhuang Chen winked furtively, seemingly urging, "Senior Brother Ning, make haste!"

Ning Qi kept his face impassive, though inwardly he found it amusing.

With gravity, he declared, "As Sect Leader Luo invites me personally, I accept your request."

At this sight, representatives from the other sects swiftly returned, expressing their heartfelt pleas, each begging Ning Qi to visit their domains and erect teleportation arrays.

This spectacle left the Infinite Sword Sect's disciples stunned.

Beside Ning Qi, the Sword Ancestor sat with eyes shining brightly in delight, brimming over with joy.

The Infinite Sword Sect's ascent to this height owed everything to Ning Qi's dominant guidance. The Sword Ancestor felt elated yet thankful to the heavens, appreciative of that young Lu Ziyue who had drawn Ning Qi into the Infinite Sword Sect.

Had another sect claimed Ning Qi in those days, the Infinite Sword Sect's fate would unfold far differently today.

Witnessing every sect eager to install lopsided teleportation arrays right in their territories, even Ning Qi felt a surge of surprise.

He furrowed his brow faintly, scanning the assembly, then abruptly announced:

"Over the last century, your sects have each nurtured promising geniuses. How about this: I'll impart some array construction methods to them, and then our sect's array masters can collaborate with yours to build the teleportation arrays across every sect?"

The sects realized it was unfeasible for all to host the Alliance Hierarch individually.

Besides, Ning Qi's offer to instruct their rising stars in array-building skills struck everyone as an even superior arrangement.

With their own members participating, a deeper sense of assurance would follow once the teleportation arrays stood complete.

In unison, they nearly chorused, "Alliance Hierarch, we'll follow this approach."

Without delay, Ning Qi picked out the promising youths from each sect, sharing array construction knowledge with them and bestowing activation tokens for the teleportation arrays.

Those youths stared at Ning Qi, their gazes burning with profound admiration.

Zhuang Chen numbered among them. He marveled at how Senior Brother Ning's strategies linked seamlessly, every chosen one a True Martial Realm reincarnation in disguise.

The sects viewed these youths as their prized assets, yet truly, they belonged to Ning Qi.

Still, amid the sects' current loyalty, no opposition challenged Ning Qi, so the reincarnations grudgingly played their roles as sect prodigies. After all, years had fostered some genuine bonds.

The sect leaders watched their own prodigies accepted by Ning Qi, all wearing pleased grins.

Gaining proximity to a legendary powerhouse like the Alliance Hierarch convinced them this step was wise, though their insights pierced only the surface.

Continuing, Ning Qi added, "With all sect leaders gathered here, to hasten the teleportation arrays' setup, why not provide your sect coordinates now? I'll create one-way teleportation arrays to whisk you back home."

Astonishment rippled through the crowd. Could such a feat truly occur?

They wasted no time. Since teleportation arrays would soon grace their sects anyway, sharing spatial coordinates was inevitable.

Next, drawing on the coordinates supplied by each sect, Ning Qi conjured dozens of one-way teleportation portals right in the square.

From those portals, illusory visions of the sects flickered into view.

Once again, awe gripped everyone.

This technique allowed the Alliance Hierarch to direct them into battles across vast distances; with coordinates in hand, no place lay beyond reach.

Envisioning the looming Spirit Realm conflicts, employing such prowess would mean triumphing against the odds under the Alliance Hierarch!

Ning Qi called forth the array cultivators from within the portals, assigning them anew to six teams.

Initially, they would accompany six sects home to aid in forging the teleportation arrays.

Lacking enough hands for every sect at once, rotations proved necessary.

Fortuitously, after arrays took shape in one sect, the team could teleport back and move to the next, ensuring swift progress.

This outshone the earlier frenzy of inviting Ning Qi to journey by flight to each distant sect.

Thus, the leaders entered their respective portals, vanishing from sight.

Realizing they'd returned to their sects in mere breaths, they yielded anew to the Alliance Hierarch's mastery.

As the crowds dispersed, Ning Qi directed the portal teams to finalize the void spiritual veins close to the Infinite Sword Sect.

He then tasked another squad with raising the Profound Truth Alliance's central base beyond the sect's borders.

Such routine tasks fell to trusted aides as needed; Ning Qi turned his attention to grander schemes and personal cultivation.

At last, the affair drew to its end.

With the teams executing Ning Qi's orders on the void spiritual veins, Spiritual Qi flooded the Infinite Sword Sect's region once more.

Suddenly, boundless crimson glows painted the heavens, while spiritual energy erupted like cascading springs.

The entire Infinite Sword Sect's surroundings transformed noticeably for the better.

…

In a flash, three more years slipped by.

During those three years, teleportation arrays rose in every sect, and they dispatched envoys to garrison the Profound Truth Alliance headquarters next to the Infinite Sword Sect, poised to heed the Alliance Hierarch's commands whenever called.
