Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 844 - 357: Refining the Realm Power of Two Worlds

Undoubtedly, Ning Qi, now incarnated as Hao Dongyang, got chosen for the expedition squad heading to the Northern Domain.

Standing beside Ning Qi was Wu Shu, someone he had just encountered.

Right then, Wu Shu spoke to him, "Dongyang, this mission is truly excellent. After we Harmonize and step into the Northern Domain, we’ll hold the advantage effortlessly."

Ning Qi responded, "Don’t get overly confident. The Mountain and Sea Realm launching a war against our Vast Realm shows they’ve prepared thoroughly."

Wu Shu nodded, agreeing fully.

"You’re right, so shall we team up later?"

Ning Qi refused outright.

He was only kidding; as a lone operator, how could he join forces with anyone?

Shortly afterward, the group reached the Boundary Wall.

The Vast Realm’s Will unleashed its Realm Power, creating a passage into the Northern Domain on the Boundary Wall.

"Move fast and eliminate the Vast Realm cultivators inside."

"Yes!"

The team dashed through the gateway without delay.

In a flash, as their sight dimmed then cleared, they arrived in the Northern Domain.

Ning Qi sensed right away that the space here felt unstable after entry, yet it held without crumbling.

The Vast Realm’s Will was truly taking a bold gamble.

All faces shifted in shock instantly.

The leader pulled out a Compass, checking the map that projected the positions of this domain’s cultivators.

He pointed north decisively, declaring, "The foes lie northward—let’s end this fight quickly!"

Currently, thirty early Harmonization stage cultivators from the Vast Realm, Ning Qi included, had breached the Northern Domain.

Ning Qi trailed them, speeding northward through the skies.

No further talk was required; swords and blades gleamed as they bolstered the domain’s fierce counteroffensive.

With that, the Northern Domain fell under Vast Realm control.

Across the whole war domain, the balance of power between the sides evened out abruptly.

As a fighter in the fray, Ning Qi felt thrilled by the result.

Soon, the Vast Realm’s Will shadow appeared in the Northern Domain, rapidly steadying the local space.

"Excellent work—you’ve delivered a win back to the Vast Realm."

The shadow gestured, showering rewards before Ning Qi and his comrades.

Staring at the ten three-foot strands, half-transparent and half-tangible, hovering ahead, Ning Qi’s gaze ignited fiercely.

These were strands of the Vast Realm’s Realm Power!

Ning Qi claimed his rewards, just like the rest.

Joy surged in his heart; possessing this Vast Realm Power would deepen his grasp of the Vast Realm’s Will.

Having already fathomed half the Mountain and Sea Realm Power, delving into Vast Realm Power alongside it would surely boost his studies.

After all, as mighty Spirit Realms, both outstripped the True Martial Realm by far.

Probing the forces of these realms would strengthen him personally and aid the True Martial Realm’s future rise.

For now, he played both sides, reaping maximum benefits for Ning Qi.

The Vast Realm’s Will seized the momentum, commanding all, "Before the Mountain and Sea Realm can respond, seize the Northwest Domain!"

The group shouted their assent.

Thus, Ning Qi tagged along with the Harmonization cultivators toward the Northwest Domain.

Following the same pattern, they aided the Vast Realm in claiming the Northwest Domain.

Ning Qi earned another batch of Realm Power from the Vast Realm’s Will—ten additional strands this round.

He swiftly transported them back to the True Martial Realm.

...

In the True Martial Realm.

Realm Lord Ning Qi sat cross-legged amid the void.

His hands lay on his knees, palms upturned.

Floating in his palms hovered the powers from both realms.

Ning Qi pondered them together, contrasting against the True Martial Realm’s own Power.

"A Spirit Realm lives up to its name—its power stands uniquely apart."

Abruptly, flame burst to life in his left palm.

Cyan and blue hues danced in the blaze, shaped by Ning Qi’s control over the True Martial Realm’s core rules to mimic the Mountain and Sea Realm Power’s essence.

He acted like a researcher now, probing the two realms’ powers with matching traits to break them down.

Inside the cyan-blue inferno, the Mountain and Sea Realm Power twisted wildly, resisting fiercely still.

Its core might surpassed the True Martial Realm; despite Ning Qi’s near-perfect mimicry to fool it, it detected the disparity.

"In my True Martial Realm, you won’t rampage!"

Ning Qi bellowed coldly.

Then, the cyan-blue flames in his grasp exploded outward, consuming the Mountain and Sea Realm Power completely.

Ning Qi’s mind stayed crystal clear, a flawless mirror.

Countless insights peeled from the purified Mountain and Sea Realm Power, flooding into his consciousness.

Ning Qi envisioned the Mountain and Sea Realm’s origin, expansion, and empowerment—swallowing nearby small worlds step by step until emerging as a Spirit Realm.

Naturally, one strand yielded only fragments; full mastery demanded ongoing refinement.

Once refined, Ning Qi halted briefly.

A vast aura of mountains and seas erupted from his form.

Suddenly, a spectral vista materialized behind him.

In murky chaos, a speck of dust or grain of sand embodied a world.

From that grain rose majestic peaks and flowing waters, birthing a realm gradually.

This vision stemmed from the Mountain and Sea Realm’s insights.

Ning Qi turned his profound eyes to the Vast Realm Power in his right hand.

Likewise, he refined it.

A scholarly air enveloped Ning Qi entirely, reminiscent of vintage wine, as if bridging eras from timeless depths.

From formless chaos to ordered renewal to grasping heavenly dao—this charted the Vast Realm’s evolution.

Another scroll unfurled behind Ning Qi.

On the scroll gleamed a pristine sheet, alive with flickering black script.

Every character embodied a Rule Power, weaving together into a thousand-character treatise.
