Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 783 - 329: Six Hidden Nodes

Ning Qi has already eliminated all three Domain Lords from the Vast Realm.

By chance, the Fuyao Realm forces under Qi Keqing's command appeared during each of those encounters, observing the events from afar.

With the arrival of the Profound Truth Realm troops and the Langya Domain forces, they concluded that within this war realm, merely three cultivators from both the Mountain and Sea Realm and the Vast Realm had entered.

As a result, by wiping out the three Domain Lords, Ning Qi stands as the supreme figure in this combat domain without question.

Elder Li Chikui's proposal to allocate three-tenths of their gains to Ning Qi stemmed from acknowledging this fact.

Upon reflection, Qi Keqing grasped the reason behind Li Chikui's sudden shift in attitude.

Earlier, she had offered two-tenths of the Fuyao Realm army's spoils to Ning Qi on multiple occasions, and now she proposed an additional tenth as gratitude for Domain Master Ning's repeated rescues.

"Do you all agree?" Qi Keqing inquired of the Fuyao Realm members.

All of them gazed at her and nodded in agreement.

Qi Keqing beamed and declared, "Showing gratitude for favors received is the true essence of Fuyao Realm cultivators!"

Soon after, the combined forces of the three armies drew near to Ning Qi.

In the emptiness of space, the three armies arranged themselves in formation, with every individual's gaze brimming with respect toward Ning Qi.

Qi Keqing led the address, "Domain Master Ning, once more you have rescued our Fuyao Realm army; words fail to convey our thanks, so please receive our salute!"

Positioned at the forefront, she had the Fuyao Realm cultivators trailing her, everyone performing a profound bow toward Ning Qi.

Observing this display, the Langya Domain army felt a stir in their hearts, realizing their fortune in encountering Domain Master Ning within this war realm as they beheld the composed Ning Qi.

Neither Zhu Yanchuan nor his two companions were naive; they clearly recognized Ning Qi's elevated position now.

Within a war realm devoid of any Unity Realm cultivators, Ning Qi reigned as utterly unbeatable!

They involuntarily remembered Ning Qi's earlier words about subjugating additional war realms; back then, the idea seemed utterly implausible, yet now it loomed as an imminent reality.

Meanwhile, the Profound Truth Realm army members held their heads high and chests out, each one swelling with pride that their Domain Master and Sect Leader earned such reverence from cultivators of other realms.

Ning Qi gave a faint nod, graciously receiving the formal tribute from the Fuyao Realm forces.

Qi Keqing and her group gradually straightened up, and she continued, "Earlier, Keqing suggested combining our armies under Domain Master Ning's command, yet to facilitate a seamless handover of authority to the sect's Unity Realm elders, we ultimately held off on that agreement with Domain Master Ning."

She inclined in another bow to Ning Qi, "At present, after Domain Master Ning has saved us yet again, we would surely have met our end without your aid, thus Keqing now freely surrenders the commander's role, earnestly requesting that Domain Master Ning grant this plea!"

This revelation caught Ning Qi off guard.

Considering Qi Keqing's fierce and self-reliant nature, her readiness to yield command in this instant was striking.

However, circumstances had evolved since then, and Ning Qi felt less inclined to oversee the three armies.

His gaze shifted to Zhu Yanchuan and the Langya Domain associates, who were fixed on him as well; upon meeting his eyes, their expressions lit up with grins as they bowed incessantly.

Qi Keqing, perplexed by Ning Qi's silence and his glance toward the Langya Domain heads, furrowed her brow in confusion.

Ning Qi finally spoke, "Qi Keqing, they too implored me to take charge of the Langya Domain army, yet I turned them down!"

Qi Keqing recoiled in surprise, uttering an "ah".

From parting ways with Ning Qi until reuniting now, barely two points of time had passed.

She could scarcely believe that in that brief interval, Ning Qi had not only connected with the Langya Domain but also guided the two armies here, delivering salvation to her group.

The trio from Langya Domain proved shrewder than she had been, promptly offering to cede control.

Still, Ning Qi had declined!

Qi Keqing struggled to comprehend the events of that period, particularly since accepting her offer would elevate Ning Qi to supreme commander over the three armies, guiding the cultivators from the Mountain and Sea Realm's three domains.

An authority of such magnitude was a fantasy for Qi Keqing; in her place, she would seize it without hesitation.

Yet Ning Qi remained unaltered in his resolve.

"Domain Master Ning, whatever thoughts occupy your mind, know that Keqing's offer comes from the heart, and I trust the Langya Domain cultivators share this sentiment."

Zhu Yanchuan grinned and added, "We truly align with that view, having sworn a Heavenly Path Oath to boot, though Domain Master Ning possesses a superior plan for claiming the war realms."

Ning Qi gestured toward the ground and announced, "We'll talk about this down there!"

The group chorused, "Understood!"

Consequently, the three armies alighted upon the earth, arranging in a semicircular array.

Organized by their cultivation levels, the scarcer and more potent experts positioned nearer to Ning Qi, as the less powerful ones occupied the rear.

Upon witnessing Ning Qi settle onto the soil and motion for all to join him, they complied by taking seats.

Before the preeminent authority of the war realm, their faces mirrored those of dutiful pupils, eagerly anticipating his words.

Ning Qi swept his view across the assembly before declaring:

"With the three armies now united, I'll proceed to elaborate on the matter I raised earlier."

Qi Keqing and the rest sharpened their focus, aware that Ning Qi's topic tied directly to his rejection of leading the three armies.

Sure enough, Ning Qi went on, "I have eliminated every major threat from the Vast Realm in this domain; solely the Divine Wind Domain forces under Kuang Shanqing linger, and henceforth, they fall to you to handle."

"Domain Master, have no worries; since you've dispatched the mightiest three Domain Lords, the leftovers are ours to claim with these three armies."

Ning Qi inclined his head in approval.
