Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 757 - 319: Unrivaled (3)

On the summit of the altar, the crystal jade aligned seamlessly with the Heavenly Star.

Starlight surged into the crystal jade, sealing the takeover of this location in a mere heartbeat.

This domain now fell completely under the Mountain and Sea Realm's command.

Following that, the massive shadow faded away, revealing only a serene white-robed figure poised steadily in the emptiness.

All at once, a majestic will descended over them, as the Mountain and Sea Realm's presence returned with full force.

It addressed Ning Qi first: "Excellent work—you've honored the realm power I granted you without fail!"

Witnessing how swiftly Ning Qi secured dominance here and eliminated the Vast Realm's Domain Master, the Mountain and Sea Realm's will brimmed with satisfaction toward him.

"I grant you thirty large rule fragments and three hundred miniature rule fragments as your reward!"

The void rippled dramatically, unleashing three hundred and thirty rule fragments that floated right before Ning Qi.

This marked the initial major stronghold seized by the Profound Truth Realm forces since stepping into the war domain.

What's more, by wiping out the Vermilion Bird Immortal Sect's forces in this spot and even felling their Domain Master, the Mountain and Sea Realm's will showered even richer prizes.

Gazing at those thirty large rule fragments ahead, each roughly the size of a person's head, even Ning Qi couldn't hide a flicker of delight.

Sending these rule fragments back to the True Martial Realm ought to propel his primary form to yet another breakthrough!

Soon after, the Mountain and Sea Realm's will didn't hang around, simply uttering, "Continue your strong efforts!" before vanishing entirely.

In secret, it slipped Ning Qi an extra fifty threads of realm power as a bonus.

This occasion skipped leaving behind a Mountain and Sea mark, given that Ning Qi required it no longer.

It also chose not to withdraw the realm power previously lent to Ning Qi.

As a result, Ning Qi retained his present condition, wielding Domain Master-level might within the war domain.

Suddenly, everyone detected the overarching will enveloping the entire realm pulling back.

The benefits from claiming this territory flowed back to them too, replenishing their energies to peak levels.

Ning Qi swept his hand out, drawing in the thirty large rule fragments.

In a stunning twist, the leftover three hundred miniature rule fragments burst apart, streaming straight toward the Profound Truth Realm troops.

Right away, every cultivator in the Profound Truth Realm forces felt their cultivation bases explode upward together, with numerous ones shattering barriers on the spot.

Nearby, the Fuyao Realm troops watched with burning jealousy.

Having Ning Qi as their Domain Master, the Profound Truth Realm seemed unstoppable in the war domain—unless several Vast Realm Domain Masters showed up!

Those joining the Spirit Realm conflict had hustled through all sorts of setups long before the war domain unlocked.

For most, snagging any loot inside the war domain wasn't even on the agenda; just surviving would count as a huge win!

However, with Ning Qi around, the Profound Truth Realm cultivators' survival looked rock-solid, marking their biggest triumph yet.

Even so, Ning Qi, in his role as Domain Master, went ahead and boosted the cultivation of everyone trailing him, stirring up massive envy.

Noticing the raw jealousy etched across the Fuyao Realm troops' faces, the Profound Truth Realm folks puffed up with pride, their spirits soaring high.

The Infinite Sword Sect members handled it with a bit more composure, but folks from other sects overflowed with elation, finally grasping the thrill that Infinite Sword Sect cultivators had known.

After all, prior to linking up with the Fuyao Realm troops, their own sects probably eyed them just like the Fuyao Realm troops did now.

"Could this be the might of a Domain Master?"

Qi Keqing whispered under her breath.

The Fuyao Realm lacked a Domain Master; they'd caught wind of the title before but had no clue it wielded such overwhelming strength.

She shook her head to snap out of her daze, advanced a pace, and declared, "My congratulations to Domain Master Ning on defeating the foe's Domain Master, seizing this territory, and rescuing the lives of our Fuyao Realm kin."

Those words jolted the Fuyao Realm troops into awareness.

They'd been so wrapped up in coveting the Profound Truth Realm troops that the prior events slipped their minds entirely.

They'd set out hunting the Profound Truth Realm troops, yet surprisingly, the Profound Truth Realm forces evaded detection by the Vermilion Bird Immortal Sect, while they—the pursuers—got spotted first.

The Vermilion Bird Immortal Sect cultivators' power outstripped theirs by more than twice; without Ning Qi rallying the Profound Truth Realm forces to strike, they'd probably never have made it back alive.

With that realization hitting, the whole group stepped forward as one, clasping hands toward Ning Qi:

"We thank Domain Master Ning for your life-saving grace."

In the midst of the throng, the Elder named Li—who'd clashed with Qi Keqing earlier—now flushed a mix of red and pale, joining the chorus with a booming voice of thanks.

Red for his embarrassment, pale for his lingering fear.

He'd once plotted to unmask the Profound Truth Realm forces and pull them into the mess, but thankfully Qi Keqing had shot down his idea, averting disaster.

Ning Qi cast a look over the Profound Truth Realm troops.

Through their combined assault on the Vermilion Bird Immortal Sect alongside the Fuyao Realm forces, a budding respect had formed between them.

Ning Qi turned to Qi Keqing, dipping his eyes a touch, and replied, "No thanks required—it was our forces' teamwork that claimed this node, so I couldn't stand by while you faced peril."

Hearing that, the Li Elder ducked his head even lower, mortified beyond words.

Ning Qi summoned fifty small rule fragments and dispatched them straight to Qi Keqing, adding, "We both poured effort into taking this node; I won't allow you to walk away empty-handed, so take these rule fragments."

Watching this unfold, the Fuyao Realm crowd stood stunned.

Was Ning Qi truly this open-handed?

Their admiration for Ning Qi skyrocketed in that moment.

Qi Keqing froze too, utterly unprepared for Ning Qi's gesture.

She figured that when forces from different realms plunged into the war domain, avoiding betrayal was already a feat, much less sharing out the spoils!

Sure, they did join the fight against the Vermilion Bird Immortal Sect, but as noted before, Ning Qi had pulled them from the brink too.
