Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 714 - 308: Testing the Vast Realm Will

Chanting without pause, the cultivators from the White Crane Immortal Sect shaped spells with their hands. Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures got refined before soaring ahead in an ordered pattern, building up the altar.

Hidden within the void, Ning Qi lurked just ten meters from the altar now.

His gaze dropped below, revealing more than twenty Integration Realm cultivators gathered at the heart of the zone.

That altar under construction by them was on the verge of completion.

Two among the group radiated auras far more potent than the rest of those Integration Realm experts. Ning Qi recognized them right away as Extreme Venerables, merely one stride from entering the Unity Realm.

Ning Qi caught the words of one, "Senior Brother Su, we’re just missing the crystal Spirit Jade for the last step."

Su Haoran turned to Wu Feiyu and warned, "I don’t know when the enemy will come, Junior Brother Wu. We must be extremely careful with this last step!"

Wu Feiyu gave a nod before abruptly launching himself skyward.

The Profound Truth Realm forces spotted a figure emerging from the White Crane Immortal Sect's formation, hovering aloft while surveying the area around.

All of them grasped the reason for his ascent; the altar-building process of the White Crane Immortal Sect had hit a vital phase.

Discovery didn't trouble them, since the hiding array laid down by the Alliance Hierarch had proven effective against two squads from the White Crane Immortal Sect already.

If the White Crane Immortal Sect hadn't captured the Node Pearl and turned it into a Heavenly Star, drawing in the Vast Realm Will, the Alliance Hierarch would have charged in with them much earlier.

Members of the Profound Truth Realm worried over their Alliance Hierarch, Ning Qi.

At present, not even they could pinpoint Ning Qi’s position, yet with the altar's construction at such a tense stage, the Alliance Hierarch had to be close by.

Regrettably, locating Ning Qi eluded them, and they hesitated to probe with Spiritual Sense.

Disrupting the scheme would spell big problems.

On the opposite side, Sword Ancestor Sword Shocking floated in wait.

As soon as he saw someone rise into the sky, he held his breath, focusing intently.

His right hand clutched the Spirit Sword bestowed by Ning Qi, while his left grasped the Jade Token from Ning Qi, readying himself in silence.

The pivotal instant was upon them; though unaware of Ning Qi’s whereabouts, he trusted that Ning Qi’s nature would soon unleash chaos.

Ning Qi eyed Wu Feiyu, positioned merely a meter distant.

The other's breath was even detectable, so Ning Qi stayed perfectly still to prevent any slip-ups.

Discovery wouldn't truly scare him, yet Ning Qi aimed to gauge the perception of the Spirit Realm Will, vital for the impending clash between the True Martial Realm and the Mountain and Sea Realm.

While he held no fear, Wei Wuya inside the ring on his finger brimmed with intense anxiety.

As Fu Chen’s former teacher, Wei Wuya had no more lessons for Fu Chen once he swore loyalty to Ning Qi.

He surrendered a thread of his Primordial Spirit Power to Ning Qi too, placing his fate entirely in Ning Qi’s hands.

In this way, Wei Wuya accepted Ning Qi as his overlord.

Still, Ning Qi deemed him too aged and forbade the title of "master," insisting he keep using Domain Master.

Wei Wuya pondered whether Ning Qi genuinely disliked the master label or was simply easing his embarrassment.

Drawing on his deep experience of the world, Wei Wuya leaned toward the second option, stirring a touch of thankfulness for Ning Qi.

Afterward, Ning Qi aided the recovery of his lingering soul's power straight from Void Path Realm up to early Integration Realm; for that, Wei Wuya chose to serve Ning Qi loyally.

Ning Qi accepted without protest, given Wei Wuya's past attainment of Unity Realm in his prime and his status now as one of the wisest in Ning Qi’s followers, offering valuable insights.

From the time Wei Wuya joined Ning Qi, their bond of lord and servant meant Ning Qi shared nearly every secret with him.

This allowed Wei Wuya to grasp just how fearsome Ning Qi’s true power truly was.

What Ning Qi showed to the Profound Truth Realm group was merely a fraction of his might.

Suddenly, Wei Wuya thought that yielding to him brought no shame.

Rather, he glimpsed a path to restoration via Ning Qi, perhaps even climbing to loftier peaks.

Sticking with Fu Chen would have made revival look almost hopeless.

Yet aligning with Ning Qi sparked real possibility.

Hence, when stepping into this war domain, Ning Qi of course included him.

Within the Profound Truth Realm, scarce few knew of Wei Wuya’s being there.

Besides Fu Chen, just Niu Man—who first brought Fu Chen to Ning Qi—and Sword Shocking were in on it; the rest remained oblivious.

Trailing Ning Qi, Wei Wuya watched as Ning Qi casually quelled mid-tier nodes, filling him with delight.

He was convinced this battlefield would hasten Ning Qi’s advancement.

But once they got here, Wei Wuya found himself baffled.

His lord appeared to be constantly testing some kind of experiment?

Solo delving into the Vast Realm’s hazy will zone, shrinking the gap from ten thousand meters down to ten meters presently.

At each key range, Ning Qi would stretch out his fingers for a test, leaving Wei Wuya baffled.

To wreck the altar, Ning Qi’s strength could handle it from hundreds of meters off, so why chance approaching the core so boldly?

Overall, Wei Wuya stayed perplexed but held his tongue, afraid to question.

There had to be a purpose behind Ning Qi’s methods!

At this point, with Ning Qi a mere ten meters from the altar's heart, Wei Wuya's nerves were on edge.

Wu Feiyu of the White Crane Immortal Sect, positioned only a meter from Ning Qi, scanned thoroughly for a good while.

Neither his direct view nor his Spiritual Sense picked up the slightest hint of foes anywhere.
