Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 766 - 323: The Langya Domain Army Submits (Part 2)

The trio shook their heads vigorously.

Zhu Yanchuan explained, "Right now, cultivators from our Mountain and Sea Realm have advanced into the War Realm as the frontline force to strike at the Vast Realm, with the intent to capture the War Realm's nodes and establish a foothold for the assault on the Vast Realm’s core territory."

"To tell the truth, the power of our Spirit Domain ranks fairly low among the Mountain and Sea Realm. We can hardly think of claiming lands; just keeping our forces alive is a massive struggle, which is why the three of us aim simply for endurance."

"Should Domain Master Ning guide us through survival, I’m certain the sect’s elders would go along with it, particularly because Domain Master Ning, in the role of Domain Master, outshines a typical Unity Realm expert."

This earnest declaration appeared genuine, and the pair next to him nodded along in support.

Observing that, Ning Qi sensed these three carried more honesty than Qi Keqing.

Their plan focused on staying alive above all. Regarding the command role, even if it fell to the Immortal Sect’s Unity Realm Ancestor for independence, what good was that title if they perished before the War Realm’s Unity Realm powerhouses arrived?

Hope filled the eyes of the three as they gazed at Ning Qi, truly hoping he would direct the cultivators from Langya Domain.

Furthermore, the forces clashing below remained locked in combat, and while the Langya Domain troops held the advantage, whether they could fully overpower the Hundred Beasts Realm cultivators stayed unclear, with no telling how much time or casualties it might demand.

Should Ning Qi step up to lead the troops and intervene, triumph would come swiftly!

In response to their expectant stares, Ning Qi shook his head and replied:

"Apologies, I hold no desire to command your forces; I’ve even handed over the commander spot in the Profound Truth Realm to the sect’s elders."

At those words, Zhu Yanchuan and his companions froze in disbelief.

It dawned on them then that the commander’s rank, which they viewed as prestigious, meant little to Ning Qi at all.

Their recently calmed minds plunged into despair like dropping into a deep shaft, leaving them clueless on how to retain Ning Qi.

Ning Qi continued, "However, have no worries; though I won’t serve as your commander, I can still guide you toward the proper path."

The three promptly bowed their heads and urged, "We implore Senior Ning to offer your wisdom!"

Ning Qi considered the matter.

In truth, the Langya Domain forces weren’t under his direct control, and blending them with the Profound Truth Realm army proved unfeasible.

Yet, seeing Zhu Yanchuan and the rest fully ready to obey his directives, Ning Qi decided to absorb the Langya Domain army and assign them greater tasks in his service.

Thinking along those lines, Ning Qi declared, "Very well, once you defeat the Hundred Beasts Realm forces, link up with the Profound Truth Realm army, and proceed to claim nearby nodes. After securing every node in this realm, I’ll lead you all to capture nodes in additional realms!"

"What?"

Ning Qi’s bold declaration made the three’s pulses race wildly.

Survival alone was their modest target; they’d never pondered grabbing a specific number of nodes.

Yet Ning Qi directed them to not just take all nodes here but push onward to snag nodes in further war realms.

That ambition lay far beyond what they could envision, leaving them utterly dumbfounded.

"Do you refuse?" Ning Qi inquired calmly.

The three jolted awake, bowing deeply as they affirmed with resolute tones: "We accept!"

In all seriousness, if Ning Qi could pull this off, how could they decline?

It was common knowledge that the War Realm brimmed with peril, yet it also promised chances for advancement.

Still, going it alone carried immense risk, so they merely aimed to endure.

But given an opening to grow stronger, they’d grasp it fiercely.

Ning Qi responded, "Excellent, then follow my instructions. Start by allowing the Mountain and Sea Realm Will to descend completely."

"Yes!"

The three held back from aiding the troops below. With Ning Qi set on erecting an altar to bind this spot fully under the Mountain and Sea Realm Will, the Langya Domain army’s restrained power would restore entirely, as though they stood back in the Mountain and Sea Realm, swinging the battle even more decisively their way.

Thus, their inaction posed no issue.

They lingered near Ning Qi, eager to witness his method.

Unlike the Spirit and Fuyao Domains, theirs lacked a Domain Master like Ning Qi. They’d only caught rumors about Domain Masters, so they grasped little of his true might.

What’s more, this was a major node. From what they knew, even a single domain’s forces would require a mighty array and much effort to summon the Mountain and Sea Realm Will fully.

Ning Qi extended a massive, rainbow-hued palm, slamming it straight down onto the earth.

The soil twisted and an altar rose up immediately.

At once, everyone detected energies from the Sea of Realms and Vast Realm rushing swiftly to the altar.

Within moments, a stellar ray linked the Heavenly Star to the Earth Star, its core forces shifting between Yin and Yang, as a majestic will settled over the area!

"That’s it?"

Zhu Yanchuan and his two companions traded looks, their minds reeling in astonishment.

Down below, the clash between the armies altered dramatically.

The Langya Domain forces’ power swelled even more, their spirits lifting sky-high.

The Hundred Beasts Realm troops faced another thirty percent suppression of their strength, their expressions ashen, thoughts of withdrawal brewing, as they battled while pulling back.

With the Mountain and Sea Realm Will now present, it granted prizes for claiming this node.

Just like the previous major node Ning Qi had taken, he gladly received the boon.

Zhu Yanchuan and the others raised no objection; Ning Qi had claimed this node. Their army’s turnaround from loss to win already owed to his aid—what right had they to eye the Mountain and Sea Realm Will’s gift?

That would be like "an old fool chasing immortality swallowing poison; he’s outlived his welcome!"

After claiming the Mountain and Sea Realm’s prize, Ning Qi produced an object and handed it to the trio.

"This is the Soul-Searching Plate, useful for pinpointing node locations. I’ve indicated the Profound Truth Realm army’s spot for you, so once you’ve dealt with the Hundred Beasts Realm cultivators completely, make your way there first."
