Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 701 - 304: Saint Ancestor

Inside the War Domain.

The Profound Truth Realm's cultivators surged forward in unison, heading straight for the spotted realm node.

Even after traveling quite a distance, they hovered several hundred miles from the target.

At the same time, the scouts who departed ahead to secretly collect data—equipped with the Secret Techniques from Ning Qi—operated in complete stealth and relayed fresh reports.

Intelligence Chief Xia Xing, positioned close to Ning Qi amid the primary group, quickly updated him:

"Alliance Hierarch, a fierce battle is unfolding right at the node's position!"

Ning Qi turned to him and inquired, "Who’s locked in combat there?"

Xia Xing answered, "It’s the folks from the Vast Realm, clashing with the Fierce Beast guarding the node."

"That bunch from the Vast Realm packs serious power. From the reports, they’re headed by two Integration Venerables—one a peak-level Venerable, the other an Extreme Venerable. Trailing them are a handful of standard Integration Realmers, plus loads of Void Path Realm and Primordial Spirit Realm experts!"

Ning Qi gave a nod, "Have we run into Immortal Sect folks from the Vast Realm before?"

Xia Xing thought for a moment, "Probably, yes."

Their exchange rang out openly, so every cultivator in the Profound Truth Realm caught wind of it.

Hearing about Immortal Sect members from the Vast Realm, complete with elite Extreme Venerables, no one displayed even a hint of dread.

This held true even though their top figure, the Alliance Hierarch, only held late-stage Integration cultivation.

On top of that, Ning Qi had shared joint combat techniques with them, allowing Void Path cultivators to band together and take on Integration Venerables.

"They’ve brought such a massive force; how many Fierce Beasts guard that node?" Ning Qi questioned.

Xia Xing responded, "Just a single Fierce Beast—a dragon!"

Understanding dawned on Ning Qi.

"No surprise it’s holding off all those Immortal Sect assaults; these Sea of Realms Fierce Beasts are no joke."

Realm nodes come in three sizes: small, medium, and large.

The spots housing these nodes brim with Spiritual Qi, drawing Fierce Beasts to linger nearby.

Around each node, the count of Fierce Beasts differs wildly—from just one up to dozens or even hundreds.

All these realm Fierce Beasts hail from the Sea of Realms, infamous for their savage natures.

They often smash into world Boundary Walls, desperate to break through and wreak havoc inside.

Now, spilling from the wild Sea of Realms into the steadier War Domain, they settle in comfortably.

It required half a year for the Mountain and Sea Realm and Vast Realm to secure the War Domain linking their territories, and who knows how many Sea of Realms Fierce Beasts slipped through.

With a casual flick of his hand, Ning Qi subtly deployed a concealed Array over the whole Profound Truth Realm cultivator squad, ready to quietly mask their army’s presence as they neared the node.

Within this vast Array, folks sensed a unique energy flowing around them.

They vaguely felt the Array linking them all seamlessly, keeping everyone’s pace perfectly synced.

It was like riding an Array-powered vessel—truly impressive, leaving them in awe of the Alliance Hierarch’s strategies.

Once the Array activated, Ning Qi barked, "Pick up the pace!"

Suddenly, their forms were yanked forward, hurtling toward the node, but their rushing figures stayed hidden, emitting zero energy traces.

Ning Qi chose to rush in without delay.

If the Vast Realm cultivators seized that node first, his side would end up on the defensive.

Letting them build an altar there would empower the Vast Realm Will inside this War Domain, making things far messier.

…

As the War Domain’s gateway swung wide.

Not just the wills of the two realms kept tabs on the action, but the Sects from both sides—whose fates hung on the results—watched closely too.

The Mountain and Sea Realm Will swept its gaze over every corner of the War Domain.

Though the War Domain had just unlocked, intense fights had already broken out across numerous zones.

Be it showdowns with Vast Realm cultivators, scraps against Sea of Realms Fierce Beasts, or… clashes among Mountain and Sea Realm cultivators!

Eighty percent of the Mountain and Sea Realm’s cultivators got shipped to the War Domain, and naturally, some carried old vendettas.

Even with the Mountain and Sea Realm Will’s prior warnings against infighting in the Domain, certain hotheads couldn’t hold back their rage upon arrival.

The Mountain and Sea Realm Will wasted no time, summoning bolts of lightning in the War Domain to zap those shortsighted cultivators dead on the spot.

Right after, its will echoed once more in the minds of Mountain and Sea Realm cultivators.

"I warn you once more: the fools who dared mutual killing have been executed by my hand!"

This announcement left everyone briefly frozen.

Some among them harbored the same vengeful urges and now forced themselves to rein in those desires.

Even the patient types, who hadn’t fully dropped their grudges but bided their time for when the Mountain and Sea Realm Will might look away.

Besides, in the War Domain, wiping out foes didn’t demand doing it yourself.

Drawing in Fierce Beasts or borrowing Vast Realm cultivators’ blades worked just as well.

How could the Mountain and Sea Realm Will catch every sneaky move?

The Mountain Ancestor and Sea Ancestor stared into the boundless void, lost in contemplation, their minds a mystery.

At that instant, they pulled their attention from afar, channeling their awareness into the War Domain.

Their first concern fell on their own Sect’s people, of course.

Watching their Sect cultivators command forces and cut down Vast Realm opponents, their faces stayed neutral.

Over on the Vast Realm’s end.

Their Immortal Sect’s founding figure, whose true name eluded most, went by Saint Ancestor among all.
