Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 814 - 344: A Piece Breaking Free from the Player
Previously on Cultivating with Top Enlightenment...
Fan City's declaration brimmed with intense animosity.
From their utterances, it was clear they yearned to tear Ning Qi apart and consume his flesh on the spot.
As Unity Realm Ancestors and Domain Masters from Fan City, these three stood at the apex of power in the entire Mountain and Sea Realm.
Were it not for their inability to access the War Realm at present, and their desire to bring their sons back to life, would they have to implore the Mountain Ancestor for aid?
Should entry into the War Realm be possible, they would swiftly rescue their offspring while simultaneously wiping Ning Qi from existence!
Once Fan City concluded his statement, the trio lifted their gazes toward the figure perched atop the summit.
Unbeknownst to them, the servant clad in black with the dragon-faced mask displayed a subtle spark in his eyes.
Prior to the trio's climb up Heaven-Reaching Peak, the black-clothed servant had overheard the Mountain Ancestor and the Realm Venerable conversing about Ning Qi's situation.
And here these three arrived, plotting to deal with Ning Qi—this development...
The black-clothed servant quietly directed a pitying look at the trio.
With hands clasped behind his back, the Mountain Ancestor stood tall, his expansive robe subtly outlining a robust arm.
Abruptly, he inquired, "Fan City, how many years have you served under me?"
Fan City paused briefly before answering, "To the Mountain Ancestor, I report that Fan City has followed you for almost one hundred thousand years."
"One hundred thousand years..."
A sigh escaped the Mountain Ancestor, and from his sleeve emerged a beam of light and shadow, settling into Fan City's grasp.
Fan City examined the object now in his possession.
It wasn't a Divine Artifact, but rather a verdant jade bottle.
Even though the jade bottle lacked transparency, he discerned three spherical Pills within.
These Pills appeared dark, yet their exteriors glowed with brilliant golden radiance.
"Mountain Ancestor, what is this..."
Fan City couldn't fathom the reason behind the Mountain Ancestor's gift of this Pill.
The Mountain Ancestor explained, "Crafted recently from Divine Artifacts, this serves as a Life Reviving Pill. Provided a remnant soul persists, it enables resurrection."
Overwhelming joy surged through Fan City.
Swiftly, the three conveyed their gratitude to the Mountain Ancestor, "We subordinates thank the Mountain Ancestor for bestowing the Pill."
Since they had preserved a fragment of their sons' Primordial Spirit, their primary objective was now fulfilled.
After securing these Pills, the three shared knowing looks, and Fan City voiced once more:
"Mountain Ancestor, may we proceed with punishing Ning Qi?"
Fan City wasn't naive; he recognized from the Mountain and Sea Realm's will that Ning Qi played a crucial role in the realm's conquests.
Nevertheless, they couldn't simply bury their grudge; as premier powers in the Mountain and Sea Realm, how could they tolerate defeat at the hands of a mere low-rank talent?
To him, such low-rank talents were tools to exploit, and upon exhaustion of their utility, they ought to be eliminated to vent the fury!
Fan City viewed himself as one of the top fifty powerhouses in the Mountain and Sea Realm, having loyally trailed the Mountain Ancestor for nearly one hundred thousand years.
Ning Qi, merely a rising star, would undoubtedly find the Mountain Ancestor favoring his side.
From the forefront, the Mountain Ancestor's voice resounded.
"Fan City, oversee the Spirit Domain diligently on my behalf; your involvement will be essential in the forthcoming Unity Realm conflict. Handle it as you deem appropriate when the moment arrives!"
Fan City and his companions grasped the implication in the Mountain Ancestor's statement.
It appeared the Mountain Ancestor consented to their plea, granting them freedom to act independently.
This outcome naturally delighted Fan City and the others.
True satisfaction in revenge comes from executing it with one's own hands!
"Our thanks to you, Mountain Ancestor!"
The Mountain Ancestor gestured dismissively with the hand concealed behind his back.
The dragon-faced servant promptly declared, "If no further matters remain, you may depart at your leisure, sirs."
Fan City and the trio offered profound bows to the Mountain Ancestor's distant form, "We subordinates bid farewell!"
With a lift and sweep of his hand, the dragon-faced servant unleashed a gray luminescence that instantly shrouded the three, causing them to disappear from view.
Regaining their bearings, Fan City and the trio realized they had descended from Heaven-Reaching Peak and now stood upon Immortal Peak's expansive plaza.
Shock registered in their expressions.
No need to elaborate on Jin Guanghua and Mu Qingtian, but even Fan City, positioned among the top fifty, found his eyes twitching uncontrollably.
The dragon-faced servant's prowess felt profoundly enigmatic to him!
"Big brother, let's make haste back to revive our sons, then interrogate them on the actual events in the War Realm!"
These words came from the third brother, Jin Guanghua. Despite the Mountain and Sea Realm's will detailing all occurrences inside, he harbored lingering doubts.
Fan City gave a nod.
At his side, Mu Qingtian interjected, "Big brother, third brother, awaiting full stabilization of the War Realm before venturing in to avenge ourselves against Ning Qi—doesn't that feel overly delayed?"
Fan City regarded him steadily, "What course of action do you propose?"
A sinister smile crept across Mu Qingtian's face as he murmured darkly, "Big brother, why not dispatch forces to ravage Ning Qi's Sect in the Profound Truth Realm, drench it in bloodshed, and seize all his key allies? Let him taste the agony we feel!"
Jin Guanghua added, "Big brother, I agree this approach is sound. For Ning Qi to injure our sons warrants a fate worse than death, like Lingchi execution. Mere death won't sate our rage!"
After contemplation, Fan City appeared swayed, a trace of savagery emerging on his features.
They had long dictated the destinies of inferiors; any defiance from below constituted a severe offense, especially atrocities against their progeny.
For offenders like that, exterminating their entire lineage was standard practice.
However, Fan City cast another glance toward Heaven-Reaching Peak, the savagery fading from his expression as he shook his head and stated:
"With the Spirit Realm war looming, any backlash from us could spark unnecessary rumors. Moreover, the Mountain Ancestor permitted vengeance solely against Ning Qi, not the wholesale ruin of the Profound Truth Realm. We must proceed with care."
Hearing this, Jin Guanghua and Mu Qingtian finally curbed their bloodthirsty urges.
"Very well, we'll adhere to big brother's guidance and return first to resurrect our children."
Without delay, the trio departed toward the Celestial Fire Realm.
