Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 706 - 305: Vast Realm Coordinates_3

Shu Lingyu's gaze captured the fierce clash between the two warriors, but he quickly looked away, refusing to witness it further.

Turning his eyes to Ning Qi, he dashed forward once again, roaring in anger, "I don't have the habit of waiting to be slaughtered!"

Shifting back into the shape of an Immortal Crane, he embodied a celestial entity of the Immortal Path, slicing through the emptiness to materialize right before Ning Qi.

His elongated crane legs lashed out with swift kicks and claws, carving dark voids in the air that lingered without closing from every blow.

While Shu Lingyu pressed his assault, Ning Qi simply stretched out a broad palm, swiping lightly.

Smack!

The enormous crane leg collided with the slender white hand; no dark claw void formed, and even as it battered Ning Qi's apparently fragile palm, it stood firm without a tremor.

Ning Qi's palm resembled an unyielding Sacred Peak, with Shu Lingyu slamming into it, failing to wound his foe while suffering wounds of his own!

Unable to hold back, Shu Lingyu coughed up a gush of blood, pulling back to mend half his shattered bones, his eyes bulging in shock as he stared at Ning Qi.

Earlier, the Sword Ancestor's mighty blow had repelled their joint two-headed Immortal Crane Slash, but they saw no issue with that.

After all, the Sword Ancestor had already grasped the basics of the Unity Realm; his power made sense.

Yet Ning Qi's palm appeared as plain as that of an ordinary mortal!

Shu Lingyu detected no trace of formidable energy.

After pondering deeply for a moment, he abruptly whispered, "Could you be the Domain Master of the Spirit Domain, an Integration Realm Domain Master?"

Ning Qi felt a brief surprise, not anticipating that his adversary knew of Domain Masters.

Noticing Ning Qi's lack of denial, Shu Lingyu's blood-smeared face twisted into deeper bitterness.

"No wonder they all follow your lead; so you're the Domain Master!"

Ning Qi cut off any more words from him, reaching out with his slender hand once again, pinning Shu Lingyu down with one grip, as though seizing a shadowy serpent.

Shu Lingyu thrashed wildly in resistance, but even activating the Immortal Crane Blood-Burning Technique failed to free him from Ning Qi's hold.

He dwindled like a coiling black serpent, finally shrinking to the size of a thumb, seized firmly by Ning Qi.

Ning Qi glanced toward the Sword Ancestor's position, where the Sword Ancestor continued honing his blade on Hao Qiuran, who remained trapped no matter what tricks he tried.

Even efforts to self-explode were undone by a lone strike from the Sword Ancestor, restoring his true form.

Hao Qiuran, who had endured endless ages, was on the verge of weeping.

"Sword Ancestor, seize him; reinforcements are approaching from the opposite direction," Ning Qi instructed.

At these words, the Sword Ancestor halted for a second, then promptly ensnared Hao Qiuran and returned with him.

He unleashed his Primordial Spirit Power, yet despite his utmost efforts, he sensed nothing of the approaching threat, only admiring Ning Qi's far greater Primordial Spirit Power.

Down below, the surviving members of the White Crane Immortal Sect had been completely wiped out.

Witnessing their Alliance Hierarch and the Sword Ancestor apprehend the enemy's Venerable, fresh waves of respect surged within them.

The Hierarch's effortless domination of an Extreme Venerable ensured their journey through the war realm felt utterly safe, free from any signs of Unity Realm might.

Though utterly crushed, Shu Lingyu and Hao Qiuran displayed no desire to plead.

"No matter your strength, you can't stand against the cultivators of the Spirit Bird Domain!" Hao Qiuran glared coldly at Ning Qi.

"Our White Crane Immortal Sect has three more squads of equal might, and the Spirit Bird Domain holds far more than just our kind," Shu Lingyu sneered as well.

Their warnings drifted by like idle breezes, stirring no one.

This indifference nearly drove the pair to fury-induced collapse!

Shu Lingyu tossed out another revelation, bellowing, "You're not the only Domain Master!"

The intimidation brought little effect, with only the Sword Ancestor and Wei Wuya among Ning Qi's group privy to the Domain Master secrets, knowing they could harness Spirit Realm Power.

Their faces subtly shifted.

But Ning Qi experienced a spark of joy, inquiring, "Is the Domain Master of the Spirit Bird Domain truly present as well?"

Shu Lingyu simply couldn't fathom why the youth facing him displayed such delight.

Ning Qi was thrilled for good reason; should the Spirit Bird Domain's Domain Master have ventured into the war realm, his future rewards would abound.

Still, by logic, the Spirit Bird Domain ranked as a mid-tier Spirit Domain, and the White Crane Immortal Sect as an Immortal Sect, so its Domain Master ought to be a Unity Realm cultivator.

Didn't that mean Unity Realm experts were barred from the war realm at present?

Faced with Ning Qi's odd response, Shu Lingyu clamped his mouth shut.

Suddenly, Ning Qi commanded, "Form the formation!"

The cultivators moved in unison without a word, assembling the array in mere moments.

Next, Ning Qi activated a hiding grand formation.

Soon after, a handful of unknown cultivators soared into view, coming into sight for all.

Ning Qi's brow furrowed faintly.

Shouldn't the White Crane Immortal Sect have three additional teams; why had just a few arrived?

After a quick reflection, Ning Qi pieced it together.

The White Crane Immortal Sect's other three teams must have gotten urgent alerts from Shu Lingyu and Hao Qiuran, but they weren't gathered together.

For now, only one team had reached the spot, deeming their numbers too small, so they dispatched merely a scout party to assess things.

With a gesture, Ning Qi signaled to seize them, pry out the team's position, and launch another strike.

Yet prior to departing, Ning Qi retrieved the realm node.

Energy swirled around him, channeling into the Node Pearl, and instantly, the sky and land shifted hues.

An unseen force converged, burrowing into the Node Pearl.

The Node Pearl swelled then, turning into a beam of radiance, ascending to the heavens and settling as a steadfast star atop the war realm.

Those from the Profound Truth Realm sensed a wave of relief coursing through their forms.

Evidently, with the Mountain and Sea Realm Will claiming this area, the oppressive force upon them had lessened by a third.

Afterward, Ning Qi applied interrogation techniques.

In the end, from Shu Lingyu and Hao Qiuran, he drew out the spatial coordinates of the Spirit Bird Domain, plus details on its Domain Master.

As it happened, within the Vast Realm, the Vast Immortal Sect reigned supreme.

The Spirit Realm Masters beneath them were all granted by the Vast Immortal Sect, inheritable by kin, differing from the Mountain and Sea Realm side where most rose via personal prowess.

Grasping this, Ning Qi brimmed with satisfaction; clearly, the Spirit Bird Domain's Domain Master had stepped into the war realm bearing only Integration Realm power!

The lingering doubt was whether that foe could summon Spirit Realm Power inside the war realm?
