Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 861 - 365: Crossing the Nine Tribulations, Part 2

The will of the Mountain and Sea Realm gazed at the other with scorn, completely unshaken.

The will of the Vast Realm failed to comprehend the other's plan, but the very moment he acted, something strange dawned on him.

Unlike outside, he couldn't manipulate the Power of Rules in this place at all, much less launch attacks on the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm or Ning Qi.

A soft chuckle then came from the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

"Don't bother wasting your strength. I've tested it myself. Even as wills of the two realms, beneath this Heavenly Tribulation, we're utterly powerless!"

How could the will of the Vast Realm possibly trust his claim?

He attempted time and again, but no matter his efforts, he couldn't summon the slightest power here.

Finally, the will of the Vast Realm had to face this bitter truth.

He turned to the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm and questioned, "What's happening here?"

"You question me? Who am I supposed to question?" the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm retorted.

Due to the extraordinary domain created by Ning Qi's tribulation crossing, the wills of the two mighty Spirit Realms were exchanging words here for the first time ever.

Outside, they opposed each other like water and fire, yet in this powerless space, they could share a brief conversation.

"Mountain and Sea, our clash draws near. I'll force you to see the grave error of invading my Vast Realm!"

"Bluster all you want. History belongs to the victors, after all. How else do we advance further if not this way?"

These words left the will of the Vast Realm momentarily taken aback.

Did the Vast Realm not yearn to elevate itself higher?

Yet, shaped over time by the Saint Ancestor, the will of the Vast Realm now valued its people's survival above all, leaving ascension to fate.

The will of the Vast Realm wasn't sure if this shift proved beneficial or harmful, but deep down, it felt like the proper course.

Offering little response to the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm, he instead shifted to the location where Ning Qi had confined the Vast Realm's cultivators.

Mi Hui, the gray-robed Sword Cultivator, and the rest beheld the arriving will of the Vast Realm, speechless yet their eyes alight with elation.

The will of the Vast Realm produced the talisman bestowed by the Saint Ancestor.

In an instant, the talisman shot forth, unfolding and radiating brilliant golden light.

A golden character "Decipher" adorned its surface.

As it activated, the "Decipher" character unleashed a glow that swept toward every Harmonization cultivator.

Countless bindings on the Harmonization cultivators unraveled at rapid speed!

The will of the Mountain and Sea Realm didn't stand idle, promptly calling out to Ning Qi, who was still restoring his fleshly body, "Kid, aren't you stopping him?"

Ning Qi was rendered speechless.

What did the wills of these two Spirit Realms take this for, treating him like some circus monkey? Flocking to his grand formation just to spectate?

His only relief came from the two realms' Heavenly Tribulation he invoked, which neutralized their wills' actions, as it blended both realms' powers.

Still, expelling them outright would suit him far better!

Ning Qi's physical body had fully mended.

After surviving the first Heavenly Tribulation, despite the excruciating agony in his chest, Ning Qi sensed his Rule Body had grown far denser!

Even better, this Rule Body integrated the blended rules from both realms.

This evolution bolstered Ning Qi's confidence, even without his main body's backing.

Upon attaining Harmonization, he would transcend ties to either the Mountain and Sea Realm or the Vast Realm, standing as the unique Harmonization cultivator free of both.

Ning Qi had contemplated this long beforehand.

Condensing a Harmonized Body solely with the Mountain and Sea Realm's rules would bind him as its Harmonization vassal—something he always evaded.

His current windfall proved serendipitous, though he held several contingency plans.

Executing those plans meant ejecting the two realms' wills first, or risk exposing his True Martial Realm origins.

But timing wasn't right yet. With the Heavenly Tribulation already curbing the two wills, let it rage even fiercer!

As for the Vast Realm's will deploying the Saint Ancestor's Deciphering Talisman to free the Harmonizations, Ning Qi naturally opposed it.

He stared into the sky, summoning the Heavenly Tribulation once more.

Crack!

A shadowy cloud burst apart, unleashing a far more imposing Thunder Dragon.

If the first tribulation's Thunder Dragon was barrel-thick, this one rivaled a water vat.

Its mere appearance unleashed pressure that halted everyone below.

The will of the Vast Realm involuntarily retreated half a step, its projection withdrawing in sync.

The Thunder Dragon's advent stalled the Saint Ancestor's Deciphering Talisman too.

Immediately, the worldly rules nearly undone on Harmonization cultivators like Mi Hui snapped shut again, nullifying the talisman's prior efforts.

Rumble!

True to form, the instant the Thunder Dragon materialized, it spewed boundless thunderbolts, pummeling those beneath.

This swath of heaven and earth morphed into a vast thunder sea.

Ning Qi took the initial hits, vat-thick lightning surging through his newly formed Harmonization body.

Not an inch from head to toe escaped the onslaught.

Teeth gritted, resolve burned in his eyes.

Ning Qi abruptly realized the merits of classic cultivation paths, and why most cultivators honed a single rule.

During Harmonization tribulation, Heavenly Tribulation's might varied by the count of rules one wielded!

Each of the two recent Heavenly Tribulations packed three hundred varieties of Power of Rules he had cultivated.

More alarmingly, the Heavenly Tribulation's genesis power seamlessly fused those three hundred Powers of Rules into one cohesive force.
