Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 1356 - 607: Special Mission (Part 2)
Previously on Cultivating with Top Enlightenment...
The Medicine Spirit in Ning Qi’s Dantian watched the situation unfolding before him and couldn’t help but exclaim.
Who would’ve thought that the team they mentioned would have so many people?
"Indeed, it’s too many."
"And their strength isn’t weak. If they were to fight against me and manage to trap me, I might not make it out of here."
Looking at the small squad before him, Ning Qi couldn’t help but say.
Is this the strength of the Demon Race? To them, such a large army of people is merely a squad.
"This squad has three commanders."
"Grand Commander Wang Haoran, Second Commander is Xue Xiaotian, Third Commander is Lu Wantian."
"Under each of their commands, there are fifty thousand troops."
Zhao Zhirou introduced them to Ning Qi.
"Fifty thousand troops?"
Ning Qi felt like he had misheard.
He had thought the people here would be about fifty or sixty thousand at least.
But to his surprise, there were three sets of fifty to sixty thousand troops.
If this small squad were to go to the True Martial Spirit Realm, even if they couldn’t sweep through, they could turn it into an abandoned Lower Realm.
"Master, why do you think they have so many people but don’t directly act to destroy this realm?"
The Medicine Spirit curiously asked.
"This realm is very strong, which is something I only found out last night."
"Here, our strength can’t run rampant as their magical treasures are countless."
"Moreover, there are many troops here."
"Princess Xiangxiang alone commands a million troops, and their overall strength is stronger than our True Martial Spirit Realm."
"Don’t even mention those other sects."
Ning Qi sighed and said, "Our True Martial Spirit Realm still has a long way to go."
"Indeed, the gap is too great."
The Medicine Spirit wholeheartedly agreed.
"Let’s go too."
Zhao Zhirou saw the squad in front had already assembled, so she called Ning Qi to follow.
"Alright!"
Ning Qi snapped back to reality and quickly followed.
"Master, you said the teams here are so strong, what kind of battlefield would it be at the Sea Boundary Battlefield?"
The Medicine Spirit suddenly thought of a question from Ning Qi’s Dantian.
"You’ll know once we get there."
Ning Qi didn’t say much, but followed Zhao Zhirou forward.
Soon, they arrived on a flying boat.
This flying boat was as large as a small town, but among these flying wheels, it was one of the smallest.
"Brother Ning, let me introduce you!"
Zhao Tianlei brought people over and said with a smile, "This is our Wang Haoran, Commander Wang!"
"This is our Commander Xue and Commander Lu."
He introduced them to Ning Qi again.
"Commander Wang, Commander Lu, Commander Xue!"
Ning Qi clasped his fists and greeted them one by one.
"Master Ning!"
"..."
The several people also politely clasped their fists in response.
The two sides thus became acquainted.
"Commander Wang, let’s set off with the team!"
"Let’s travel slowly first, and once out of this passage, at the Sea of Realms, we’ll speed up!"
Zhao Tianlei looked at Wang Haoran and arranged with a solemn tone.
"Yes!"
Wang Haoran agreed, then called two people to leave.
Clearly, they went to make arrangements.
"Master Ning, let’s stay on this flying boat!"
Zhao Tianlei looked around, then spoke to Ning Qi.
"Alright, are we setting off now too?"
Ning Qi nodded and then asked.
"Yes, we’re moving out!"
After Zhao Tianlei agreed, he instructed the several helmsmen in the distance.
"Yes!"
"..."
They responded one after another and then moved to the cabin.
"How long do we need to reach the Sea Boundary battlefield?"
Ning Qi walked over and asked curiously.
"It should take about ten days, though we’ll have matters to handle in between."
"It should take around fifteen days to arrive!"
Zhao Tianlei thought seriously before responding.
"Alright, nothing will be missed."
Ning Qi nodded and followed up.
"Right, indeed!"
Zhao Tianlei looked ahead, "It’s been a long time since leaving here, this time out we must wreak havoc to let them know the might of our Celestial Demon race."
"Big brother, we can’t be careless."
Zhao Zhirou heard and came to remind, "There are mountains beyond mountains, and skies beyond skies!"
"Yes, you’re right, this time we need to be cautious!"
Zhao Tianlei nodded, not refuting her words.
"Set off."
It was then someone called out.
Their flying boat began to slowly start.
"Whew!"
Amidst a series of humming sounds, the flying boat began to fly forward.
The speed wasn’t fast, but due to its enormous size, it caused the surrounding void to tremble along.
"This passage we have cleared."
"So it’s not as sturdy as the external Sea of Realms!"
Zhao Tianlei explained to Ning Qi, "Thus, we need to regularly repair this passage."
"Otherwise if it collapses next time, we will be exposed."
"I see."
Ning Qi heard this and nodded understandingly.
Only then did he comprehend what’s going on.
"The team has boarded."
Zhao Tianlei glanced back with a smile, "We’ve set off."
Ning Qi also looked back and found that their team had indeed departed.
Afterward, the flying boat sailed forward for a two-hour time span, Ning Qi saw the passage ahead reaching its end.
"Whew!"
"Buzz!"
After a short wait, their flying boat accelerated suddenly, darting out directly.
After charging out, the flying boat finally arrived at the space of the Sea of Realms.
At this time, Ning Qi realized the space here was more solid.
Even if the flying boat collided head-on, the space here wouldn’t develop cracks, nor creak.
"We’ve come out, now we can plan our next move."
Zhao Tianlei sighed and waved to someone, "Go, call the three commanders over."
"Yes!"
The guard obeyed, then quickly withdrew.
After the guard left, Zhao Tianlei took another glance backward.
"Brother Zhao, what mission are we undertaking?"
Ning Qi had always been curious, but just hadn’t had the chance to ask before.
Now they’re evidently preparing their deployment, so it seems natural to inquire about the situation.
After all, he was to move with them and better to be prepared.
"We’re heading to an asteroid region."
"There are matters to handle here."
Zhao Tianlei turned to speak, "Previously here, we left some resources and our weapons and armor."
"Worried about being discovered here, we hid them in a desolate place."
"This time we are going to find these items and bring them to the battlefield!"
"Oh, then why not have the main force retrieve them?"
Ning Qi asked puzzled.
Isn’t this redundant?
Originally I thought it’d be something challenging, but it turns out to be such a simple task.
"Because we have yet to fully control this area."
Zhao Zhirou came over and said, "There are array restrictions here, we have never been able to break through them."
"This time, we’ve prepared sufficient resources to break through these restriction arrays and thus we come to retrieve our resources."
"I see."
Ning Qi understood then.
It wasn’t that they didn’t want to take it but this isn’t truly theirs yet.
This time then, it’s apparent they’re coming prepared.
"Master, I sense there must be danger there."
"Otherwise why would they bring so many people?"
The Medicine Spirit curiously said within his Dantian.
"I sense it too, but don’t know exactly what."
"This task definitely isn’t as simple as they claim!"
Ning Qi also looked ahead, secretly discussing with the Medicine Spirit.
"Young Master!"
"..."
Just then, Wang Haoran, Xue Xiaotian, and others arrived one after the other.
Each wore a solemn expression, evidently aware of what needed to be done this trip.
