Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 1132 - 495: Luring the Tiger Away from the Mountain (Part 2)

Ning Qi watched the guard’s distant figure and couldn’t help but smile.

Indeed, he had found the right person.

Not long after, that guard returned.

He walked to the front of Ning Qi’s flying boat and said, "Our Palace Master has something to ask you, come with me."

Ning Qi sneered internally, but still followed up, "I will follow you, sir."

The guard nodded with satisfaction and turned to lead the way.

Ning Qi followed him, heading towards that flying boat.

The guard brought Ning Qi to the front of the flying boat, where two more solid-looking guards were already stationed.

They saw Ning Qi but did not stop him.

Ning Qi followed the guard onto the flying boat’s deck.

Several cultivators were methodically busy repairing their array to protect the area from any intrusion.

Looking at the flying boat, Ning Qi realized it was just a private vessel.

In the center of the entire flying boat, a residence was specially built.

Though it seemed like a residence, it had a hint of a palace aura.

Finally, the guard brought Ning Qi to an assembly hall’s entrance.

The door was engraved with dragon and phoenix patterns, which inspired awe.

The entire hall had flying eaves and golden resplendence.

"Wait here."

The guard reminded Ning Qi.

Then he walked ahead alone, "Reporting to the Palace Master, the person has been brought."

"Enter."

A commanding voice quickly responded.

"The Palace Master calls you in. Once inside, answer questions honestly. Don’t ask what you shouldn’t, don’t look where you shouldn’t!"

The guard gave Ning Qi a serious reminder.

"Alright."

Ning Qi agreed and entered the grand hall.

Looking up, he saw a figure sitting on the high seat deep within the hall.

He wore a brocade robe, evidently made from immortal materials.

Ning Qi calmed his mind and respectfully said, "Humble servant greets the Palace Master."

Dao Bujin on the high platform finally opened his eyes slightly, looking at Ning Qi.

"You have some strength."

Dao Bujin assessed Ning Qi while speaking.

"Palace Master, you overpraise."

Ning Qi responded with a smile.

Dao Bujin continued, "Just heard from the guard, do you know about those three people who can summon the Immortal Door?"

"Humble servant... humble servant indeed heard a few words."

Ning Qi did not conceal and responded directly.

"Oh?"

Dao Bujin’s face changed slightly, then he asked, "When did you hear it? What did they say?"

"There were many people and mixed noise there. Humble servant inadvertently overheard a few cultivators at the next table discussing."

"One of them mentioned this matter."

He deliberately paused, pretending to ponder, "They said it was deep in the Fifteenth District, like it was somewhere on the fringe of a realm."

"But I drank too much then, hardly recall the exact place."

"I only remember them saying those three somehow indeed summoned the Immortal Door."

"Oh, yes, like it was in one of the nearest realms to the Black Water Zone, just around there."

"Black Water Region..."

Dao Bujin squinted his eyes, revealing a hint of brilliance.

"Did they mention where those three people are now?"

He asked after a while.

"That I don’t know, just somewhere in that area."

Ning Qi shook his head and added, "If I had known the Master was looking for these people, I would have listened more carefully."

"So, you don’t know the exact whereabouts of those three and the location of the Immortal Door?"

Dao Bujin showed some disappointment.

Upon hearing this, Ning Qi quickly shook his head, "Humble servant truly doesn’t know, but they mentioned that these people seemed to head east."

"East? Towards Black Water?"

Dao Bujin frowned slightly.

This is the border area, indeed leading out to the Black Water Area.

"Yes, they pointed towards Black Water Area at the time."

Ning Qi agreed again.

Dao Bujin fell into contemplation.

The Black Water Area is one of the hazardous zones in the Sea of Realms.

Perpetually shrouded by Gang Feng and black mist, not only are there many twisted creatures, but there are also numerous spatial rifts.

Even the teams from the Immortal Pavilion dare not venture in easily.

If those three who could summon the Immortal Door really hid in Black Water Area, it would be hard to find them.

"Alright."

Dao Bujin returned to his senses and slowly spoke, "Your information might be useful."

"You may leave! For your initiative, this will be your reward."

With one sentence, a storage bag floated in front of Ning Qi.

"Thank you, Palace Master, for the reward!"

Ning Qi said and then took his leave, "Humble servant takes his leave."

"Go."

Dao Bujin no longer looked at him, but beckoned to a shadowy spot behind him.

"Come with me."

By this time, Ning Qi had already left the hall.

Returning to the deck area.

The guard who brought him called him over.

"Alright!"

Ning Qi then followed the guard, continuing to walk out.

"Leave, do not linger here."

The guard issued an eviction order.

"I will depart now."

Ning Qi agreed, then boarded his flying boat.

Directly steering the flying boat, he departed from the Immortal Pavilion’s fleet in the direction he came from.

"Phew!"

Ning Qi wiped the sweat away, looking ahead, "Now, the True Martial Spirit Realm is temporarily safe."

He immediately changed the flying boat’s course.

"Marked on Lin Chen’s map of the Sea of Realms, the nearest wormhole route from here leads to the Fourteenth District."

Ning Qi took out the spirit stone’s sea realm projection and examined it closely, "From here, take the wormhole anew, reaching this area before them."

"Put on a good show, making sure we are deemed to be here."

Quickly deciding, Ning Qi delayed no further, propelling the flying boat with full force.

After an indeterminate period of speed, a dock-like place appeared in view.

On the dock, there were only a few guards dressed in black armor.

Their cultivation level wasn’t particularly high, but their gazes were extremely fierce.

Ning Qi docked the flying boat.

"Halt!"

Immediately, two guards noticed him and stepped forward, "What’s your business here?"

Ning Qi raised his head, showing a smile.

"You all have been working hard."

He cupped his hands with a friendly smile, then said, "I am here to use the wormhole, heading somewhere."

"Since you want to use the wormhole, you know the rules, right?"

One of them looked at Ning Qi.

"I surely know."

Ning Qi took out a storage bag and handed it over, "This is something small for your hard work. I hope you can make things easier, brothers."

The guard opened the storage bag and found spirit marrow liquid inside.

Instantly, he revealed a grin.

"You’re sensible."

The guard accepted the storage bag, his tone changed, "There’s also a passage fee!"

"The wormhole can’t be used for free."

"Thank you for the reminder."

Ning Qi knew they were deliberately making things difficult, but didn’t react.

After all, he needed the wormhole, and having found a dock, abandoning it wasn’t an option.

Another guard stepped forward, produced a token, and waved it over Ning Qi back and forth.

Clearly doing an inspection.

"Alright, no problem."

That guard put away the token and said to another guard.

"If that’s the case, proceed to the wormhole, but let me remind you, be careful."

The guard again warned Ning Qi.

"Thank you!"

Ning Qi thanked them again, and then looked at the other guard.

"Follow me."

The guard spoke and began leading Ning Qi towards the wormhole above.

"Here it is, be cautious inside. If you mess it up, you can’t afford it."

That person gave Ning Qi a few more instructions.

"Yes, sir."

Ning Qi agreed, then cupped his hands in salute.

And the guard ignored it, instead opened the spirit marrow liquid given by Ning Qi.

Thus, Ning Qi, controlling his flying boat, began traveling within the wormhole.

Sitting on the deck of the flying boat, he started admiring the Sea of Realms area here.

With the wormhole, it’s really helpful, many twisted monsters couldn’t breach the array restriction’s defense of the wormhole.

"Spending money really makes a difference!"

Ning Qi watched the situation outside and couldn’t help but sigh.

In his considerations, he suddenly felt, in front of this wormhole, a team of people appeared.

Among them, he directly saw an old man surrounded by the crowd approaching.
