Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 687 - 300: Spirit Realm War

The Profound Truth Realm had fully integrated the Northern and Southern Domains, restoring it to its utmost glory.

At the same time, the Infinite Sword Sect took hold of the Profound Truth Realm's core position, overseeing all sects in the area and harmonizing the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi rules across the domain.

Thanks to these foundations, Ning Qi emerged as the unchallenged Domain Master of Profound Truth.

Deep inside his consciousness, a sudden awareness stirred.

Similar to how a Sect Leader governs their sect's territory, or a king rules over the lands under his sovereign authority.

Right then, Ning Qi felt an odd sensation, as if he now held a sliver of dominion over the whole Profound Truth Realm.

Without depending on managing sects to oversee every part of the Profound Truth Realm, but through a unique sense of upholding heavenly principles.

Ning Qi shot up into the air and abruptly reached out his hand, as though grasping the skies themselves.

In a flash, thick layers of gloomy clouds gathered overhead, stacking like fluffy masses, and swiftly blanketing everything visible to the eye.

Such a shift naturally drew out numerous members from the Infinite Sword Sect.

Witnessing their Sect Leader simply wave his hand to alter the weather, the onlookers felt stunned and bewildered by the event.

These cultivators, once their cultivation advanced further, could indeed impact Heavenly Phenomena, yet they needed to draw on their personal strength to influence the surroundings.

Yet with the Sect Leader, no traces of energy stirred, and nothing emanated from the skies above. That was what left them so amazed.

All they could do was watch the Sect Leader in stunned silence, afraid to disturb him.

It was clear to them that the Sect Leader was testing something out.

Ning Qi's outstretched hand flipped over suddenly, and the gloomy clouds blanketing the sky vanished instantly, unveiling a clear azure expanse.

Rays of sunlight bathed him, creating an image among the watchers that made him resemble a true Immortal.

It felt as if Ning Qi had risen to a level far beyond their grasp, entering a realm they could merely admire from afar.

Despite standing right there in plain view, he seemed impossibly distant and unapproachable.

The crowd grappled with this strange vibe, unable to grasp what had transformed in their Sect Leader.

High up in the heavens, Ning Qi hovered while rubbing his chin, lost in deep thought about numerous matters.

The Mountain and Sea Realm's will appeared to bestow certain privileges on him, letting him wield broad authority over the entire Profound Truth Realm.

In the Profound Truth Realm, he now stood as a unique figure, like a "Lord of the World" or "Spirit Realm Master," with the status to invoke Spirit Realm Power against foes.

To put it another way, the force at his command was the domain's very own Spirit Realm Power!

Unlike the techniques of cultivators or the diverse rule-based forces, this was a supreme overarching power that surpassed them all.

Just as Ning Qi's core had blended with the True Martial Realm's Realm Power, his current form received the Profound Truth Realm's Spirit Realm Power from the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Naturally, unlike the core's inherent Realm Power, this Spirit Realm Power was just a bestowed right from the Mountain and Sea Realm, not something Ning Qi owned outright, though it empowered him to fully dominate the entire Profound Truth Realm.

Henceforth, intruders from other spirit realms in the Mountain and Sea Realm would find themselves powerless against Ning Qi's grasp on the Spirit Realm Power.

Only if the foe could muster strength matching the whole Profound Truth Realm might they stand a chance!

In any case, Ning Qi's might had surged dramatically by proxy, so even if Sikong Qing from the neighboring Fuyao Realm's Cyan Profound Immortal Sect returned, Ning Qi could crush or eradicate him without restraint.

Ning Qi descended into the Sect Leader's hall, settling down to meditate.

The Sword Ancestor stepped inside, took a seat across from Ning Qi, and inquired: "Boy, what was that power you used before?"

Ning Qi raised his gaze and answered: "Sword Ancestor, have you ever heard of the Mountain and Sea Realm's will bestowing power on domain masters in its spirit realms?"

The Sword Ancestor paused in surprise; even as an ancient expert spanning countless years with exceptional gifts, he had never come across such hidden knowledge about domains or realms.

So, he shook his head candidly, remarking with a wry tone: "It looks like I can't help you anymore. You've climbed to a level beyond my understanding."

Ning Qi reassured him: "It's really not that big a deal; likely it's a mechanism established by the Mountain and Sea Realm's will in its spirit realms. Whoever fully commands a single domain gains matching privileges from the Mountain and Sea Realm, earning the right to call forth that domain's power."

At these words, the Sword Ancestor grasped the nature of the power Ning Qi had just demonstrated.

He comprehended: "So you're saying that across the Mountain and Sea Realm's numerous spirit realms, its will empowers anyone who conquers a domain?"

"Exactly, which makes me think other domains might have the same setup."

The Sword Ancestor pressed: "Does the Fuyao Realm have someone like you who can command its Spirit Realm?"

Ning Qi guessed: "I doubt the Fuyao Realm has such a figure, since I only earned the Mountain and Sea Realm's will's approval after fully seizing the Profound Truth Realm. Here, every sect follows my lead, and all acknowledge me as Alliance Hierarch and Domain Master."

"Thus, folks like me are probably few and far between, though not nonexistent, given how seldom anyone truly dominates a whole domain in any realm."

The Sword Ancestor nodded, getting it, and continued:

"If the Fuyao Realm truly had someone who'd reached that point, they surely wouldn't settle for just the Fuyao Realm. They'd have targeted the old Beixuan Domain and Southern True Domain ages ago, instead of letting those two linger separately for hundreds of thousands of years."

These remarks sparked a sudden insight for them both.

They shared a look, and the Sword Ancestor questioned: "Does that mean you could claim the Fuyao Realm before any domain master emerges there?"

Ning Qi pondered briefly, then affirmed: "Yes, it's possible, but there's a limit; Spirit Realm Power only works inside the Profound Truth Realm. To take over the Fuyao Realm and battle across domains, I couldn't rely on this domain's power!"
