Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 789 - 332: Everyone Wants Me as Their Disciple?

Upon receiving this news, Ning Qi felt a surge of emotion right away.

He quickly gleaned numerous insights from the Mountain and Sea Realm Will's statements.

First off, the Mountain Ancestor and Sea Ancestor clearly possess methods to monitor events inside the War domain and grasp what he's gone through there, leaving Ning Qi inwardly on guard.

Normally, the War domain arises from the wills of two realms, so only those wills ought to sense what's happening inside.

For instance, in the True Martial Realm, just Ning Qi as the Realm Lord can probe any location at will, while other entities in the True Martial Realm lack such power!

Still, these two ancestors, being cultivators in the realm, manage to sense external happenings, suggesting their cultivation reaches frightening heights, their bond with the Mountain and Sea Realm Will holds special closeness, or perhaps both are true.

No matter the case, it's unfavorable for Ning Qi.

Next, their desire to accept him as a disciple shows they grasp not just his War domain experiences but also his entire history in the Mountain and Sea Realm.

These two ancestors stand as mythical powerhouses, with no one knowing how long it's been since they took on any apprentices.

Undertaking something as weighty as disciple selection, they'd never proceed without full knowledge of the candidate.

In under two centuries, Ning Qi reached Integration Perfection—a feat unmatched by anyone else across the whole Mountain and Sea Realm. He pondered whether the two ancestors might question his swift rise.

Besides, are their intentions purely to mentor him, or is there something more? These aspects stay shrouded in mystery.

Finally, if the Mountain and Sea Realm's ancestors can track his actions, then surely the Vast Realm's Saint Ancestor can detect his War domain activities too?

This adds yet another danger for Ning Qi, urging him to stay alert, uncertain what actions the Saint Ancestor might unleash against him.

Ning Qi feigned excitement and addressed the Mountain and Sea Realm Will, "Realm Venerable, are you certain the Mountain Ancestor and Sea Ancestor spoke those words?"

The Mountain and Sea Realm Will replied, "I came here myself to relay that wish; do you doubt its authenticity?"

Ning Qi responded, "I don't doubt it, but the announcement feels so abrupt. I'm genuinely shocked that the two ancestors have taken notice of me. Did the Realm Venerable perhaps share details of my circumstances with them?"

With this question, he aimed to test the extent of the two ancestors' capabilities.

The Mountain and Sea Realm Will shifted into a vague, ethereal form, its facial traits utterly impossible to discern.

Manifesting in front of Ning Qi, it appeared to fix its gaze upon him.

"That's correct—even without my notification, they could have uncovered your affairs anyway."

The Mountain and Sea Realm Will offered an uncommon explanation.

Ning Qi grasped the truth in an instant.

Good heavens, the Mountain Ancestor and Sea Ancestor's abilities truly surpass the ordinary. Is it possible for them to watch over the War domain without involving the Mountain and Sea Realm Will?

Ning Qi grew intensely intrigued by the connection between the two ancestors and the Mountain and Sea Realm Will.

In typical scenarios, despite being top-tier existences in the Mountain and Sea Realm, the two ancestors ought to bow to the Mountain and Sea Realm Will.

However, they differ from Ning Qi, who completely wiped out the True Martial Realm Will to claim his position as True Martial Realm Lord.

"Realm Venerable, with both ancestors seeking me as a disciple, I can't pick them both. As you're the messenger, might I seek your guidance on which one to select?"

The Mountain and Sea Realm Will cleared its throat then stated, "I recommend opting for the Sea Ancestor as your teacher. She's declared that if she can't have you, she'll annihilate you rather than let anyone else claim you!"

Ning Qi's brows knit together.

These are some ruthless declarations! Might the Sea Ancestor harbor a volatile temperament?

After pondering briefly, Ning Qi pressed further, "Realm Venerable, as Domain Master of the Profound Truth Realm, that domain falls under the Mountain Ancestor's domain in principle. Choosing the Sea Ancestor—wouldn't that provoke the Mountain Ancestor...?"

The Mountain and Sea Realm Will chuckled, "You've thought this through well. The Mountain Ancestor tends to be overbearing, so if he learns you picked the Sea Ancestor, what do you suppose he'd do?"

Ning Qi found himself at a loss for words.

What other choice would he have except to obliterate the Profound Truth Realm?

Without delay, he declared, "In that case, never mind. Might the Realm Venerable please convey my regrets to the two ancestors? I appreciate their interest, but as a mere Integration cultivator, I'm simply not worthy to serve as their disciple."

Ning Qi had no desire to get entangled in the rivalry between the Mountain Ancestor and Sea Ancestor, turning into their battleground.

One slip could expose his reincarnation mission in the Mountain and Sea Realm to the two ancestors, derailing all his efforts.

On top of that, their true motives remain unclear. Plus, Ning Qi stands as a being forged by the heavens and earth—why bow to another?

The two ancestors may view it as granting him a great honor, yet if Ning Qi aims to eradicate both the Mountain and Sea Realm and the Vast Realm, what significance do these ancestors hold?

That said, unable to assess their strength fully, even with the True Martial Realm amassing hundreds of paths, it falls short against the Two Spirit Realms, compelling Ning Qi to build up his power steadily before making his bold move.

Hearing Ning Qi's refusal, the Mountain and Sea Realm Will felt real astonishment.

The opportunity to study under the ancestors is a dream no cultivator in the Mountain and Sea Realm would reject, but here Ning Qi sought to turn them both down.

The Mountain and Sea Realm Will found itself esteeming Ning Qi even more.

It abruptly proposed, "Refusing the two ancestors like this is a rare feat. Why not take me as your master instead?"

"Hmm?"

Ning Qi froze in surprise.

His thoughts raced wildly, unsure of the full picture or the reason behind the Mountain and Sea Realm Will's sudden interest in mentoring him.

"Well..." Ning Qi paused, "Should the Realm Venerable desire me as a disciple, I'd gladly accept, but how will the Mountain Ancestor and Sea Ancestor react?"
