Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 715 - 308: Testing the Vast Realm Will (Part 2)

Thus, Wu Feiyu gazed downward toward Su Haoran and declared, "Senior Brother Su, everything is good!"

Hearing those words, Su Haoran swiftly retrieved a crystal Spirit Jade as large as a person's head and stated, "Junior Brother Wu, descend here, and we'll ignite the altar as one. When the altar fully awakens, the Vast Realm Will will arrive, banishing all our fears."

Wu Feiyu soared downward next, settling back into his prior position, while offering Su Haoran a firm nod.

Su Haoran hurled the crystal Spirit Jade from his grasp, and it embedded flawlessly atop the altar's peak.

This Earth Star aligned with the Heavenly Star, and once the Earth Star locked into position, the altar sprang to life without delay.

High overhead, the Heavenly Star crafted from the realm node unleashed a pillar of piercing starlight straight downward.

Like a swift arrow, the starlight pierced the crystal Spirit Jade crowning the altar.

In that instant, the crystal Spirit Jade voraciously drew in the starlight cascading from above.

The altar beneath and the White Crane Immortal Sect members poured forth their efforts, relentlessly pulling vital forces from the ground and channeling them into the crystal Spirit Jade as well.

A veil of Spiritual Qi mist began to swirl upward from within the crystal Spirit Jade, resembling the fog draping misty peaks after days of steady downpour.

The clear ascends, the turbid descends!

The ground quaked fiercely, with every White Crane Immortal Sect cultivator planted steadfastly like ancient tree roots, unyielding as towering peaks.

As the White Crane Immortal Sect cultivators triggered the altar's power, a wave of unease swept through the Profound Truth Realm cultivators.

When would the Alliance Hierarch finally make his move?

In that very moment, Ning Qi grasped the chance amid the White Crane Immortal Sect folk's fixation on the altar below, slipping boldly into the ten-meter perimeter of the starlight.

The aura of Wei Wuya clinging to Ning Qi's form left his spirit nearly leaping in dread, as if it had a physical heart to race.

The Heavenly Star released that shaft of starlight, brilliant as a searing beam, now hardened into tangible form.

Earlier, the starlight had diffused broadly across a wide expanse, yet the Vast Realm Will's awareness lingered in a foggy state, not fully manifested.

However, this focused ray of solid starlight signaled that the Vast Realm Will had indeed gathered a fragment of its essence right here.

It propelled the Earth Star forward, seeking total command over this earthly territory.

Ning Qi hovered just nine meters from that radiant starlight pillar, his eyes fixed on the crystal Spirit Jade atop the altar, tongue flicking across his lips.

"Excellent, the Vast Realm Will hasn't sensed me yet!"

Ning Qi pressed onward, closing to eight meters, then six, then four...

The nearer he drew to the Vast Realm Will, the heavier the immense force bore down on him like an endless mountain, its burden mounting relentlessly.

The prior scorching heat surged to a fiercer level.

Wei Wuya sensed the strain on Ning Qi indirectly too, and even concealed in the ring, a shiver of fear gripped him.

He pondered quietly—what if it were another soul in his place?

A Primordial Spirit Realm expert would find themselves utterly crushed inside the ten-meter zone, frozen in place.

A Void Path Realm powerhouse might barely push to the eight-meter mark at best.

An average Integration Realm titan could only advance to five meters.

Just as Wei Wuya wrapped up his grim assessment, he abruptly sensed Ning Qi surging ahead once more.

Wei Wuya almost broke into tears—what madness drove this young master?

Even for shattering the altar, wouldn't five meters suffice? Worse, with the Vast Realm Will so near, he dreaded that one more step might scatter his lingering soul to oblivion.

Ning Qi paid no heed to Wei Wuya's inner turmoil, steadfastly advancing regardless.

Three meters, two meters, one meter...

He now stood a mere meter from the starlight shaft forged by the Vast Realm Will!

Ning Qi's breaths came ragged in that tense instant, though he endured, while Wei Wuya reeled with vertigo, as though struck by a brutal affliction.

Maybe the ring's subtle tremor alerted Ning Qi to his distress, for Ning Qi promptly infused a strand of Spiritual Qi, which revived Wei Wuya like a plunge from blistering sun into refreshing chill, savoring juicy melon.

Ning Qi cast a glance below; the White Crane Immortal Sect cultivators strained mightily too.

All of them toiled furiously in harmony with the incoming Vast Realm Will, enabling the crystal Spirit Jade to soak up the Sea of Realms energy and Mountain and Sea Realm energy permeating this earthly domain.

Perspiration streamed along their faces and dripped onto the soil, splintering upon impact, yet no one spared a second to brush it off.

Ning Qi eyed the crystal Spirit Jade once again.

Thankfully, past encounters guided him; the pure and impure forces inside the crystal Spirit Jade commenced their division, inching toward opposite poles.

The pure and impure forces embodied the Mountain and Sea Realm energy and Sea of Realms energy, in that order.

Pure stood for Mountain and Sea Realm energy, impure for Sea of Realms energy.

The crystal Spirit Jade served as the vessel that contained and sealed both.

Merely drawing in those energies fell short; they required precise separation.

Failing that, their blend could trigger a devastating blast, wasting every ounce of labor.

Only through isolation, shaping them into a balanced Yin-Yang fish pattern where each checked the other, could true containment hold.

Ning Qi had timed his strike meticulously: await the full parting of pure and impure forces!

At that peak, be it the sliver of focused awareness from the Vast Realm Will or the dual squads of White Crane Immortal Sect members, all would face utmost restriction to stabilize the Yin-Yang equilibrium of energies within the crystal Spirit Jade.

Ning Qi extended a single finger, easing it into the one-meter boundary of the starlight.

His digit felt like sinking into searing liquid metal, thick and clinging, akin to trudging through marshy depths with a constant pull.

Yet, to his relief, retraction remained possible.

With that in mind, Ning Qi inched nearer deliberately, penetrating the half-meter threshold.

The Vast Realm Will continued oblivious to him, letting Ning Qi exhale in quiet gratitude.

Witnessing this daring test, Wei Wuya found himself speechless in sheer astonishment.
