Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 707 - 306: Rewards

Inside the war zone, Ning Qi found himself barred from unleashing his Domain Master strength.

The Will of the Mountain and Sea Realm decreed that such Domain Masters were permitted to wield it exclusively inside the Spirit Domain.

Fundamentally, the Spirit Realm Power draws its source from the Mountain and Sea Realm itself, and its application remains under the control of the Mountain and Sea Realm Will.

Should a Vast Realm Domain Master manage to invoke Spirit Realm Power in the opposing war zone, catastrophe would surely follow for their foes.

Naturally, the Mountain and Sea Realm Will wouldn't commit such a grave error.

As the realm node morphed into the Heavenly Star, now anchored high above the war zone, the formidable Mountain and Sea Realm Will seized even greater tactical dominance in this region.

Yet simply converting the node to the Heavenly Star lacks full stability; an underground altar linked to it must be erected as well.

Only through the synergy of heaven and earth could the Mountain and Sea Realm Will fully subjugate this territory, thwarting any assaults from Vast Realm cultivators.

The method for building the altar had been relayed long ago by the Mountain and Sea Realm Will, prompting Ning Qi to command his cultivators to execute the task.

At once, a group of array specialists rose from the ranks of the Profound Truth Realm forces.

They cast a quick look at the Heavenly Star overhead before pinpointing a spot directly below it.

The assembly clustered around the selected site, forming hand seals as streams of Spiritual Qi and Rule Divine Chains poured forth from their forms, etching the altar's base onto the soil.

Buzz!

Spectators sensed an extraordinarily intricate and arcane formation taking shape through their efforts.

Next, they produced an array of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to erect the altar formation atop the groundwork.

Soon enough, a six-pointed star formation glowed with pure white radiance, its core piled high with Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures arranged like building blocks via exquisite array methods.

Before long, a grand and flawless altar stood fully formed.

Crowning the altar sat a crystal Spirit Jade the size of a human head, its interior swirling with shifting mists that mirrored the Earth Star.

The very moment the altar reached completion, a shaft of starlight plunged straight down from the Heavenly Star—born of the realm node—suspended in the heavens.

This starlight struck the crystal Spirit Jade at the altar's summit like a piercing bolt.

In that instant, the crystal Spirit Jade voraciously drew in the descending starlight, as the altar and formation beneath labored on, pulling vital forces from the ground and channeling them into the jade.

Suddenly, the Spiritual Qi mists inside burst into vivid activity; purity ascended while impurity sank, sending the whole array into wild vibrations.

Each cultivator involved in the altar's creation now bore sweat dripping from their brows, their expressions drained to the extreme.

A fresh glance into the crystal Spirit Jade revealed the pure and impure forces neatly divided, evolving into distinct powers that rotated at the top and bottom layers.

Though most cultivators grasped little of these deep arrays, the sight of the segregated energies sparked a realization deep within them.

Was this the clash between Sea of Realms and Vast Realm energies?

They lifted their eyes skyward, noting how vast swaths of cloudy essence had been siphoned away; downward, the land looked notably purified.

Still, the dual realm energies refused total submission, churning restlessly inside the crystal Spirit Jade.

And those cultivators upholding the altar appeared overwhelmed, unable to contain the surging power now gathered there!

Ning Qi intervened at the perfect juncture.

He arrived like a celestial being gracing the earthly plane, placing his foot upon the crystal Spirit Jade.

Abruptly, the turbulent pure and impure energies in the crystal Spirit Jade settled into perfect stillness before all eyes.

They murmured inwardly, "Truly deserving of the Alliance Hierarch!"

The strain weighing on the altar-manning cultivators lifted in a heartbeat.

"Gratitude to you, Alliance Hierarch!"

Ning Qi gave a faint nod, gracefully stepping off the crystal Spirit Jade back to solid earth.

With that motion, not only did the pure and impure energies in the crystal Spirit Jade quieten, but they started flowing between the upper and lower sections.

Resembling twin Yin and Yang fish, they orbited endlessly inside the crystal Spirit Jade, birthing a Taiji pattern.

Now, with both Heavenly Star and Earth Altar in harmony, all nearby energies from the Sea of Realms Vast Realm funneled straight into the crystal Spirit Jade.

The Mountain and Sea Realm Will asserted total command over this zone, seamlessly integrating it into the Mountain and Sea Realm's domain.

In this pivotal moment, the oppressive weight on all who ventured into the war zone vanished entirely, indirectly confirming the transformation.

Joy bloomed across their faces at securing a war zone node with such swiftness; they pondered the bounties the Mountain and Sea Realm Will might bestow.

For the time being, we'll hold off on the Mountain and Sea Realm Will's rewards.

Just then, Qin Minghao summoned a colossal magical palm to deliver the battlefield gains from wiping out the Vast Realm cultivators straight to Ning Qi.

All eyes locked onto the towering heap of assorted resources, brimming with diverse items.

It featured an assortment of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures—many hailing from the Vast Realm—alongside countless Magical Treasures and Spiritual Artifacts, elixirs suited for cultivators across realms, and of course, the Cultivation Techniques wielded by White Crane Immortal Sect disciples.

Ning Qi swept the entire trove of spoils into his Storage Space with effortless flair.

"These gains may seem plentiful, but handing them out one by one to everyone isn't feasible right now, so I'll hold onto them for the moment. Once we exit the war zone or if the need arises sooner, I'll share them with you all in advance!"

The group chorused in unison: "We'll follow the Alliance Hierarch's judgment."

This trust extended beyond the Infinite Sword Sect, Niu Mo Upper Sect, and Celestial Star Upper Sect members; even cultivators from other Profound Truth Realm sects had grown familiar with Ning Qi through the years.

Ning Qi proved himself no false promiser as Alliance Hierarch; his past actions had showered immense benefits on the sects, forging unbreakable faith in his assurances.

In that very instant, a soft gust of wind brushed across the gathering.

Garments rustled lightly, locks of hair danced in the breeze, as a voice they all recognized echoed softly in their minds.
