Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 689 - 300: Spirit Realm War (3)

Simultaneously, a faint awareness stirred within him regarding the Power of Rules he had yet to fully comprehend.

Ning Qi felt a surge of joy right away.

The Spirit Realm Power indeed earned its reputation as the essence of the Spirit Realm. Unlike it, the True Martial Realm Power forced him, the Realm Lord, to labor endlessly and build it up through his personal endeavors.

Yet this Spirit Realm Power enabled him to swiftly refine and balance the diverse energies coursing through his body.

Ning Qi wasted no time and drew out another thread of Realm Power from the Spirit Domain.

He paused to think, remembering that the Mountain and Sea Realm Will hadn't detailed the exact length or thickness for each strand of Realm Power, so Ning Qi pushed to his limits and pulled forth a strand stretching one meter, slender as a strand of hair.

Given his present capabilities, extracting just one meter seemed to be the cap, likely imposed by some limit from the Mountain and Sea Realm Will.

Regardless, as he gazed at this writhing Spirit Realm Power resembling a ray of light, Ning Qi realized the first strand had been a waste.

He had merely experimented earlier by drawing a short ten-centimeter thread without full effort, and it turned out to be completely squandered.

After that, Ning Qi kept drawing the other eight strands, lining up all nine threads of Spirit Realm Power in front of him neatly.

Ning Qi fused another strand into himself once more, sensing an immediate boost in his power.

Next, Ning Qi wisely avoided merging every bit of Realm Power all at once; instead, he kept contrasting it against the True Martial Realm Power, aiming to detect key distinctions between them.

Time flew by swiftly, and before he knew it, a full decade had elapsed.

During those ten years, Ning Qi pulled out a total of one hundred strands of Spirit Realm Power and absorbed them all. Combined with his ongoing cultivation, his level had advanced to the late stage of the Integration Realm.

Even though his cultivation only climbed by one rank, Ning Qi's overall might had soared dramatically.

For instance, the Five Elements Divine Chain he had set in the Sea of Realms used to form just one Rule Origin for the True Martial Realm each year.

These days, it could produce two within a year and a half, boosting its effectiveness by fifty percent.

In the same way, the potency of Ning Qi's assorted cultivation methods and divine techniques had also risen by fifty percent.

Across the ten-year span, sixteen fresh Rule Origins had appeared in the True Martial Realm.

The Five Elements Divine Chain generated ten of them from the Sea of Realms, while the remaining five typically arose from Ning Qi's sudden realizations during the absorption of Spirit Realm Power.

Among these, one Rule Origin stood out as especially vital: the Space Rule, which Ning Qi intuitively seized without much struggle.

This came naturally because Ning Qi could forge space passages linking the realms, possessed remarkable aptitude for arrays, and had delved deeply into Spirit Realm Power throughout the past decade, leading him to effortlessly understand the elusive and valuable Space Rule.

The Space Rule, paired with the Time Rule, has long been classified among the mythical god-tier rules.

In a single realm teeming with billions upon trillions of beings, scarcely any manage to grasp it on their own.

Even for races innately gifted with minor space divine techniques, such abilities stem not from personal insight but from endowments by their progenitors.

As a result, Ning Qi devised a divine technique named "Grand Void Boundlessness."

This technique lets him instantly carve out a personal space domain at his location, pulling foes inside to confine and obliterate them.

It further allows Ning Qi to retreat into that space alongside companions, evading hunters, rendering it a highly adaptable divine technique.

Concurrently, Ning Qi's array of other skills advanced markedly once he commanded the Space Rule.

For example, opening teleportation portals before demanded vast amounts of energy and materials from him.

However, things had simplified now. Empowered by the Space Rule, Ning Qi could swiftly establish a more robust teleportation gate using far less energy and resources.

Furthermore, his enhanced grasp of space permitted him to halt teleportation mid-journey and adjust the destination anew.

Concerning space-oriented offensive divine techniques, such as Space Slash, Ning Qi picked them up with natural ease; these weren't deemed exclusive divine techniques.

Nevertheless, blending them with his command over other forces rendered each assault unpredictable and tough for adversaries to counter.

Spanning those ten years.

The Profound Truth Alliance had stabilized fully, and every sect across the Profound Truth Realm discarded their old rivalries and suspicions, uniting as one.

Thanks to the Profound Truth Alliance headquarters, designed to host members from every sect, numerous individuals arrived yearly from various groups to share knowledge, draw from one another's strengths, and collaborate effectively.

Among these, the Infinite Sword Sect once more stunned the assembled sects.

Though Ning Qi stayed absent, the recently elevated disciples had already outshone the veterans in prowess.

They excelled in inter-sect competitions, and their profound understandings consistently astonished participants from other sects, who wondered in awe how the Infinite Sword Sect had amassed eighty percent of the realm's prodigies.

In reply, Infinite Sword Sect members simply shook their heads modestly and stated, "We too were largely ordinary in the past, but under the Sect Leader's tutelage, we've reached this level."

Consequently, respect for Domain Master Ning Qi deepened among the sects.

The Infinite Sword Sect itself experienced explosive growth during these ten years.

It started with over twenty Great Powers at the Void Path Realm, but that number has now doubled.

Cultivators at every lower tier have likewise doubled in count.

All Top Ten True Inheritances progressed to the Void Path Realm's peak, with the most talented even touching the Half-step Integration Realm boundary.

The elder members advanced too, as many attained Void Path Realm perfection, and two additional ones hit Half-step Integration Realm—one Vice Sect Leader Cang Wanhe, the other ex-Sect Leader Jiang Baichuan.

True Man Ziyang ascended to early Integration Realm, marking him as the Infinite Sword Sect's third member at that stage.

Jiang Ruhai hasn't broken through yet, lingering at Half-step Integration Realm.

Strength surges in other sects have reshaped the entire Profound Truth Realm, infusing it with fresh vitality.

…

Inside the Profound Truth Alliance lies a spiritual garden where spiritual herbs dance and sparkle, while assorted immortal trees whisper in the soft wind's embrace.
