Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 691 - 301: Three Matters

The linkage of the realms has fully bridged the Mountain and Sea Realm to the Vast Realm.

Although the fresh boundary zone stays unstable for now, its enormous expanse and turbulent energies are plainly visible already.

It emerges uniquely from the fusion of realm forces and the Sea of Realms' essence.

In a hazy vision, all witnessed mighty sea creatures from the Sea of Realms gliding through these zones, having risen straight from the ocean depths.

Their power levels differ widely, some rivaling the might of Void Path Realm Great Powers, while others carry the aura of Integration Giants.

Far surpassing any savage beasts from foreign worlds, these have endured for ages in the Sea of Realms.

Everyone grasped that this spot serves as the arena where fighters from both realms will clash over their Spirit Realms.

The faction that seizes control in the boundary zone will hold sway in the conflict and boost their odds of triumph.

As Domain Master, Ning Qi harmonized with the surroundings and perceived deeper truths than fellow Profound Truth Realm experts.

This emerging boundary zone isn't alone; additional links will arise in time between the Mountain and Sea Realm and the Vast Realm, spawning further chaotic war zones.

From Ning Qi's perspective, the present boundary zone can merely host powerhouses up to the Integration Realm.

And what of the countless Unity Realm cultivators? Surely they won't join the fray? Yet they form the true backbone that will tip the scales in the clash between the realms!

Thus, steadier boundary zones will take shape, able to support Unity Realm experts and even mightier entities!

That's when the true showdown between the realms will ignite.

As the visions in their thoughts faded, the Mountain and Sea Realm Will's voice resounded in their minds once more.

"All domains, make your preparations. Every sect has to dispatch eighty percent of cultivators at Primordial Spirit Realm and higher to join the Spirit Realm war! Loose cultivators are compelled to take part too!"

"Any sect or loose cultivator that refuses will face the Spirit Realm's heavenly retribution as a stark warning!"

"More forces will be drafted if needed. Full cooperation is demanded!"

Three proclamations from the Mountain and Sea Realm Will spread to every cultivator at Primordial Spirit Realm and beyond across the realm.

Upon hearing this, countless faces drained of color.

Particularly among those from minor sects and independent loose cultivators!

Major sects possess vast numbers of experts, letting them retain twenty percent of their elite to defend home, but tiny sects often count just a handful of Primordial Spirit Realm members.

With their sway already feeble, diving into the war could spell total ruin if none survive, dooming the sect!

As for loose cultivators, a heavy silence fell. The Mountain and Sea Realm Will now summons them to battle, and rebellion would bring dire fallout.

Hence, various small sects and loose cultivators gear up to band with reliable major sects, seeking strength in alliance over solitary stands!

After years in hiding, Fu Chen stirred awake atop a Spirit Mountain in the Fuyao Realm, where Wei Wuya waited nearby.

Both had caught the Mountain and Sea Realm Will's command. Their faces hardened as they shared a look.

Even loose cultivators must battle!

The Mountain and Sea Realm Will shows no mercy to independents, pulling them into the boundary front against the Vast Realm.

Fu Chen and Wei Wuya saw their days of quiet isolation and hidden growth were over!

Over those decades, Fu Chen's power had climbed to the late Void Path Realm stage at last.

But no trace of arrogance lit his features.

Ever since reports surfaced of Ning Qi's swift ascent to lead the Infinite Sword Sect, crushing the Blood Demon Upper Sect and consolidating the Beixuan Domain in mere decades.

As a peerless talent of his era, Fu Chen understood that even with Wei Wuya's tutelage, outpacing Ning Qi lay beyond his reach.

Especially amid the brewing storms in the Northern and Southern Domains, where premier Upper Sects edged toward all-out strife.

It was on Wei Wuya's counsel that he abandoned the Southern True Domain.

"Teacher, what course should we take now?" Fu Chen inquired.

Thanks to Fu Chen's boosted cultivation, Wei Wuya's spectral form solidified further, and he let out a heavy breath.

"Xiao Chen, you may need to shed your loose cultivator ways. With the Spirit Realm war upon us, evasion is impossible!"

"Still, your gifts will open doors to an Immortal Sect easily, so think on it. The Fuyao Realm hosts two Immortal Sects; pick one to join."

Fu Chen creased his forehead and pressed, "Teacher, is the boundary zone really so deadly? No way out for loose cultivators?"

Wei Wuya answered, "Why did we flee to this place from the Southern True Domain? The brewing clash among those three elite Upper Sects could crush us without effort. If three groups in a single realm, capped at Integration Realm power, already loomed so large over us, just picture the horrors of the Spirit Realm war?"

Fu Chen paused briefly, then said, "Very well."

Wei Wuya offered comfort, "I get that you cherish your freedom and solitude, hating any chains, but times have shifted, and you must bend to them."

"Besides, the Spirit Realm war brings not just peril but chances too. If you aim to rise swiftly to Integration Giant status, the battlefield offers the quickest path. True cultivators forge their Dao through blazing ordeals!"

Fu Chen inclined his head, adding, "Teacher, which sect would you recommend?"

Wei Wuya mulled it over briefly.

"Go with the Cyan Profound Immortal Sect. Newly elevated, they crave new talent and will welcome someone like you with open arms."

Fu Chen's tension eased, as if accepting Wei Wuya's plan.

Yet abruptly, he said, "Teacher, hold on. Let me first scan the latest news from the Southern True Domain."

Wei Wuya gave a faint nod.

Since hearing of Ning Qi's meteoric progress, after all these years, he too yearned to gauge the state of affairs in the Northern and Southern Domains.
