Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 786 - 330: Great Success in the Rule Realm (2)

Previously on Cultivating with Top Enlightenment...
Ning Qi examined the nodes within the war zone, discovering thirty-six points including six hidden ones that he could exploit for integrating space into the True Martial Realm. He crushed a Node Pearl and channeled his true form's will to occupy the area, then severed a kilometer-wide space cube with precise Sword Qis. Using the Great Five Elements Divine Light, he transported the cube through a spatial channel to the True Martial Realm, where it dissolved and expanded the realm's boundaries. Beings across the True Martial Realm witnessed the event in awe, bowing in reverence to the Realm Lord's divine miracle as larger cubes followed, accelerating the realm's growth.

Soon enough, the spatial passage abruptly shut down, bringing the transformations in the True Martial Realm to a sudden end.

This unexpected halt baffled every creature present.

Yet, shortly afterward, another spatial passage materialized high in the heavens, steadily delivering chunks of void territories downward.

It was revealed that within the War Domain, Ning Qi had thoroughly isolated the majority of space around that particular nexus.

He preserved only the sections close to neighboring nexuses, preventing any detection from the wills of the two realms beyond the connections.

Ning Qi surveyed the vast expanse he had almost entirely emptied, a satisfied grin spreading across his features.

In no time, this emptied territory would be crushed by surrounding areas much like a void in the depths of the sea, vanishing entirely and erasing all traces!

Next, Ning Qi retrieved his compass, swiftly activating the teleportation portal, and relocated to the subsequent concealed nexus site.

Ahead lay yet another substantial nexus, much like the last one, overlooked by the wills of the two realms, and devoid of any savage beasts from the Sea of Realms.

Unlike Sikong Lan and his companions who had revealed the prior nexus, Ning Qi set straight to slicing through the space, channeling it directly into the True Martial Realm.

As a result, the inhabitants of the True Martial Realm witnessed that earlier interruption in the spectacle.

Having isolated two spatial areas, Ning Qi teleported once more to the following hidden nexus.

He detached nexus after nexus, funneling every bit of it into the True Martial Realm.

It required roughly half a day before Ning Qi reached the final hidden nexus.

Among the six hidden nexuses, there were exactly two of each size: large, medium, and small.

Gazing at the nexus in front of him, Ning Qi assessed the condition of the True Martial Realm.

His form instantly relayed the True Martial Realm's current state.

Right then, the True Martial Realm exhibited ninety-eight hues, resembling a vibrant rainbow or a glowing aurora, blanketing the entire firmament densely.

At the same time, the True Martial Realm kept on expanding.

Built upon the foundation of the Five Elements cycle, the True Martial Realm's growth proceeded with remarkable ease.

Even as the ground quaked fiercely, it caused no disruption to the inhabitants; even as ocean waves crashed wildly, they inflicted no harm on lives.

Every creature in the True Martial Realm, beholding this celestial marvel, rejoiced and celebrated wildly.

Earlier, they had been clueless about the purpose of the void territories descending from above; now, clarity dawned that these served as vital sustenance for the True Martial Realm's evolution, paving the way for its imminent ascension once more!

Only two additional colors were needed in the sky to reach a full hundred, triggering a monumental shift in the True Martial Realm!

"Merely two more?" Ning Qi whispered to himself.

The presence of ninety-eight colors signified that the True Martial Realm possessed ninety-eight Rule Origins.

The spaces extracted from the earlier five hidden nexuses had rapidly bolstered the True Martial Realm with dozens of Rule Origins at an astonishing rate.

After all, Ning Qi’s Five Elements Rule Divine Chain, when deployed in the Sea of Realms, could merely aid him in forming two Rule Origins over a year and a half.

Hence, to accelerate the True Martial Realm's advancement, plundering from the Mountain and Sea Realm and Vast Realm became essential!

Ning Qi promptly started stripping the space from the final nexus area.

The space he extracted wasn't isolated Rule Origins, but rather a fusion of diverse rules.

Consequently, the two lacking Rule Origins in the True Martial Realm weren't truly missing, merely present in inadequate amounts.

Inside the True Martial Realm, the void territories plummeted one after another.

Slowly, two further colors emerged across the True Martial Realm's sky.

These two colors shifted from faint to intense, eventually aligning perfectly with the rest.

Realm Lord Ning Qi manifested within the True Martial Realm, witnessing the convergence of a hundred colors; a subtle smile graced his lips.

"Having forged a hundred Rule Origins, I shall advance to the Great Success stage of the Rule Realm as well!"

In an instant, the hundred-hued radiant clouds over the True Martial Realm's sky started swirling toward a single point.

Concurrently, the blue glow warped, forming a swirling vortex that spanned the entire sky.

A deep thunderous roar echoed in the ears of all life forms, but no one experienced unease; rather, a surge of vitality filled everyone, sharpening their thoughts.

Certain wounded creatures detected Spiritual Qi flowing ceaselessly into their forms, mending their wounds.

Others, whose vital years had run out and lay dying, suddenly saw vapors rising from the soil, seeping into them; their health rapidly recovered.

Abruptly, they pressed up with their palms and rose from their beds.

Numerous common folk observed their gray locks darkening, as every creature's lifespan extended anew.

At the same time, countless cultivators felt their stalled progress in cultivation surge forward, past bottlenecks dissolving as if granted sudden insight.

Many creatures achieved breakthroughs in their realms right away; this evolution surpassed all prior ones in magnitude!

All creatures shed tears of thanks, falling prostrate to the earth, proclaiming loudly, "We thank the Realm Lord for this bountiful blessing!"

However, Ning Qi’s form had no moment to acknowledge the creatures, for his own metamorphosis was no less profound!

The radiant clouds, woven from the hundred Rule Origins, whirled like a maelstrom and surged into him, fully absorbed by his body.

Ning Qi sensed an endless surge of might building within him without cease.

Having previously entered the Rule Realm and gained a significant power boost had been arduous enough, yet this overwhelming climb felt akin to ascending to the pinnacle of immortality.

Ning Qi emitted a pleased sigh, murmuring, "Could this be the Great Success of the Rule Realm?"

A robe of a hundred colors spontaneously draped over his frame, entirely crafted from Rule Origins.

As Ning Qi felt it, he marveled at the Sky-Craft Robe’s formidable defenses; even if he stood defenseless against Unity Realm Ancestors from the Mountain and Sea Realm or Vast Realm as they unleashed frenzied assaults, no mark would appear.

Ning Qi examined his physique, where the hundred Origins had fused into one, unbreakable bond, gleaming like an Immortal Heart, casting light over myriad peaks and streams!

...

In the Mountain and Sea Realm and Vast Realm.

While the wills of the two realms could penetrate the War Domain, the Ancestors and Unity Realm experts could not.

Still, the ancestors from both realms vigilantly oversaw the events unfolding inside the War Domain.

Precisely as Ning Qi alone dismantled the six hidden nexuses, his forces from the Three Domains eradicated the leftover cultivators of the Divine Wind Domain in that area.

Following that, the three forces divided to seize the remaining nexuses.

The nexuses in the Lower Realm of the Southeast War Domain fell rapidly into their grasp, catching the notice of both realms.

Within the Mountain and Sea Realm, the Mountain and Sea Ancestors, who had been eyeing one another warily, abruptly directed their Dharma Eyes toward the War Domain.

They widened their gazes slightly, inquiring of those nearby in unison:

"In the Lower Realm of the Southeast War Domain, which Spirit Domain forces from the Mountain and Sea Realm have invaded?"

"Answering the Mountain Ancestor (Sea Ancestor), it was only recently uncovered that three Spirit Domain armies have penetrated the Southeast War Domain: Langya Domain, Fuyao Domain, and Profound Truth Realm, with Langya Domain holding the greatest strength!"

Upon hearing this report, the two ancestors were momentarily taken aback.

They lifted their sights once more to scan the whole War Domain.

Nine directions exist, encompassing nine War Domains, each segmented into upper, middle, and lower realms.

In finer terms, the War Domains divide into twenty-seven minor realms.

Yet presently, of those twenty-seven minor realms, solely the Lower Realm in the Southeast War Domain glowed with activity, signaling that Mountain and Sea Realm cultivators were seizing nodes with swift efficiency.

The other twenty-six realms displayed no such haste.

Witnessing this, both ancestors were profoundly shocked. They probed further, "Does this imply that our Mountain and Sea Realm forces have utterly dominated the Vast Realm forces in this domain?"

"This..."

The attendants to the two ancestors paused briefly, then swiftly formed hand seals to divine the truth.

Before long, their fingers ceased their motions as the incantations concluded, their faces twisting into bizarre expressions.

"What is the matter?"

They responded at once, "To the Mountain Ancestor (Sea Ancestor), the Vast Realm cultivators in that War Domain hail from a mid-level Spirit Domain, whereas our Mountain and Sea Realm cultivators originate from a low-level Spirit Domain!"

Mountain Ancestor (Sea Ancestor): "..."

"Are you certain there was no error in the divination?"

"Despite the incredulity, we stake our lives on it—the facts stand exactly as stated!"

Divine radiance exploded from the eyes of both ancestors, as if a long-still ocean had unleashed colossal waves in a frenzy.
