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

The trio shook their heads vigorously.

Zhu Yanchuan explained, "At present, cultivators from the Mountain and Sea Realm have advanced into the War Realm as the frontline force to assault the Vast Realm, intending to capture the War Realm's nodes as a foothold for the assault on the Vast Realm’s core territory."

"To tell the truth, the power of our Spirit Domain remains quite feeble among the Mountain and Sea Realm. Setting aside claims of territory conquest, simply guiding our forces to endure is a daunting ordeal, hence the objective we've established, the three of us, centers on mere survival."

"Should Domain Master Ning guide us to endure, I trust the sect's elders would approve, particularly given that Domain Master Ning, in his role as Domain Master, outstrips a typical Unity Realm cultivator."

This sincere declaration appeared genuine, with the two companions at his side nodding affirmatively too.

Observing this, Ning Qi perceived these three as far more earnest compared to Qi Keqing.

Survival stood as their primary plan. Regarding the commander's role, even if it fell to the Immortal Sect’s Unity Realm Ancestor for independent control, should they perish prior to the War Realm's Unity Realm experts arriving, of what value would the commander's post be?

Hope filled the eyes of the three as they gazed at Ning Qi, earnestly desiring him to direct the cultivators of their Langya Domain.

Furthermore, the forces clashing below continued their fierce combat, where despite the Langya Domain forces holding the advantage, completely overpowering the Hundred Beasts Realm cultivators remained unpredictable, with no clue on the duration or the casualties it might incur.

Should Ning Qi consent to direct the troops and intervene personally, triumph would arrive swiftly!

In response to the eager stares from the trio, Ning Qi refused with a shake of his head, declaring:

"Apologies, I hold no desire to command your forces; in fact, I yielded the commander's spot in the Profound Truth Realm to the sect elders."

Zhu Yanchuan along with the other pair stood dumbfounded upon these words.

It dawned on them then that the commander's rank, which they viewed as prestigious, held no rarity whatsoever for Ning Qi.

Hearts that had barely calmed plunged into despair once more, leaving them at a loss on retaining Ning Qi's involvement.

Ning Qi continued, "Yet, have no fears, though I won't serve as your commander, I remain able to guide you toward the proper path."

The trio promptly bowed their heads, uttering, "We beseech Senior Ning for your guidance!"

Ning Qi contemplated the matter.

Indeed, the Langya Domain forces lacked his direct leadership, rendering a fusion with the Profound Truth Realm forces unfeasible.

Nevertheless, with Zhu Yanchuan and his companions fully committed to obeying his directives, Ning Qi felt inclined to integrate the Langya Domain forces and assign them greater tasks in his service.

Harboring this thought, Ning Qi announced, "Very well, once you've defeated the Hundred Beasts Realm forces, rendezvous with the Profound Truth Realm army, then press on to claim nearby nodes. After securing every node within this realm, I'll lead you all to capture nodes across additional realms!"

"What?"

The trio's pulses raced at Ning Qi's bold declaration.

Survival alone marked their aim, without ever pondering the quantity of nodes to claim.

Yet Ning Qi directed them to not just dominate all nodes here but to extend their conquests to nodes in further war realms.

This vision exceeded their wildest thoughts, leaving them utterly astonished in place.

"Do you refuse?" Ning Qi inquired calmly.

The three recovered swiftly, offering deep bows with resolute tones: "We agree!"

In all seriousness, if Ning Qi could indeed fulfill this, how could they decline?

All understood that the War Realm brimmed with peril yet also promised avenues for advancement.

Still, depending solely on their own efforts posed immense risks, limiting them to survival aspirations.

Yet, presented with an opportunity to grow in power, they would grasp it fiercely without hesitation.

Ning Qi responded, "Excellent, then proceed according to my instructions. Begin by allowing the Mountain and Sea Realm Will to fully manifest."

"Understood!"

The three refrained from aiding the troops below. With Ning Qi intent on erecting an altar to bind this site utterly to the Mountain and Sea Realm Will.

At that point, the Langya Domain forces' restrained might would restore completely, akin to battling within the Mountain and Sea Realm itself, thereby shifting the battle decisively in their favor.

Thus, their inaction posed no issue.

They remained close to Ning Qi, eager to witness his method of accomplishment.

In contrast to the Spirit and Fuyao Domains, they lacked a Domain Master of Ning Qi's caliber. Mere legends of Domain Masters reached their ears, leaving Ning Qi's capabilities a mystery to them.

Additionally, this constituted a major node. From their perspective, even a single domain's full army required erecting a mighty array and investing substantial effort to wholly summon the Mountain and Sea Realm Will.

A enormous, rainbow-hued palm extended from Ning Qi, slamming straight down onto the terrain beneath.

The earth twisted and buckled, birthing an altar right away.

The influx of essence from the Sea of Realms and Vast Realm toward the altar surged palpably to all present.

Within mere instants, a stellar ray linked the Heavenly Star to the Earth Star, Yin and Yang energies interchanging inside, as a majestic will settled over the area!

"Is that all?"

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

The clash between the armies below underwent an immediate change.

The Langya Domain forces' power intensified dramatically, spirits lifting sky-high.

The Hundred Beasts Realm forces faced an additional thirty percent suppression of their prowess, pallor washing over their features, thoughts of withdrawal dominating as they battled in retreat.

As the Mountain and Sea Realm Will arrived, it proffered prizes for claiming this node.

Much like the prior major node under Ning Qi's conquest, he graciously received it.

Zhu Yanchuan and companions harbored no objections; Ning Qi had claimed this node. Their forces' reversal from loss to win already owed to his aid—what right had they to eye the Mountain and Sea Realm Will’s bounty?

Such greed would mirror the proverb of an elder desperate for long life swallowing poison, dooming themselves utterly!

Having claimed the Mountain and Sea Realm's boon, Ning Qi produced an object and handed it over to the trio.

"This artifact is the Soul-Searching Plate, capable of pinpointing node locations. I've indicated the Profound Truth Realm army's position on it for you, so once you've fully dealt with the Hundred Beasts Realm cultivators, proceed there without delay."
