Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 878 - 373: Moon Sea Immortal Sect (Part 2)

"Did you really think none of this happened?"

Zhou Hanshan stood speechless before Gu Qingyan's relentless verbal assault.

At last, Zhou Hanshan shot a bitter glare at Gu Qingyan. When his gaze shifted back to Ning Qi, he noticed the chilling stares from Ning Qi, Leng Qingao, and every cultivator in their ranks.

Clearly, nothing he said could stop Ning Qi from marching toward their Zhou Mountain Immortal Sect.

Furthermore, Gu Qingyan's sharp words had struck a chord deep in everyone's hearts.

Zhou Hanshan turned and departed swiftly, refusing to linger under the crowd's disdainful eyes.

Ning Qi's gaze dropped slightly.

Though Gu Qingyan's retort targeted Zhou Hanshan, it subtly pointed out a key detail.

The Profound Truth Realm was now relocated by the Sea Ancestor close to the Moon Sea Immortal Sect.

Ning Qi couldn't determine if this move by the Sea Ancestor showed favor toward him or served as a warning.

"Let’s go, Taoist Friend Ning. I suspect their Zhou Mountain Immortal Sect will dispatch harassers after you. It's wiser to reach my Moon Sea Immortal Sect sooner."

Ning Qi responded calmly, "Alright!"

Guided by Gu Qingyan, the group hastened toward the Moon Sea Immortal Sect's position.

Ning Qi discreetly probed the Central Domain's conditions.

His spiritual sense pierced through the blood mists without hindrance.

He had already surveyed the entire Central Domain upon entry before, and now, after surviving the Harmonization Tribulation, it was even clearer.

The blood mist restricted cultivators based on their power levels; Ning Qi stood out as a clear exception.

Ning Qi figured the blood mist likely failed to block spiritual senses of top sect leaders like those from the three great sects, while lesser cultivators perceived only up to their cultivation limits.

Trailing Ning Qi, Leng Qingao and their cultivators brimmed with wonder about the Central Domain's interior.

They had battled intensely in the Outer Domain—why had tranquility descended upon reaching the Central Domain?

Soon, Ning Qi and Leng Qingao neared the Central Domain's core, offset slightly leftward.

A lone figure waited silently ahead, her elegant form shimmering like liquid water, with no one daring to approach within ten meters.

Farther out, beyond ten meters, stood a disciplined formation of troops, one that Ning Qi instantly identified.

It was the Tidal Wave Layer Array!

This array excelled at layering cultivators' powers, merging their might to unleash relentless, surging assaults.

The number of layers and amplification multiples hinged on the collective strength of the participants and their commander's skill.

Sensing Ning Qi's group arrive,

the stunning silhouette, who had been staring at the central barrier, whirled around.

Her sea-blue eyes held a soft, profound allure, capable of pulling anyone into their vast oceanic depths, ensnaring them utterly.

"Taoist Friend Ning."

Zhao Yujun, leader of the Moon Sea Immortal Sect established by the Sea Ancestor, ranked just beneath the Sea Ancestor in prowess.

Her presence carried a subtle yet transcendent air, much like Ning Qi's own.

By calling him Taoist Friend, Zhao Yujun showed clear respect, viewing him as a peer.

A gentle smile bloomed on her face, revealing charming dimples, as she reached out her hand first.

Ning Qi descended to her side and clasped the offered hand.

"Daoist Zhao."

Mutual probes laced their handshake.

Ning Qi sensed his right hand engulfed by profound ocean depths, yet no suffocation followed.

From her aura, he grasped a hint of Zhao Yujun's unyielding faith.

This fluid, water-like woman harbored a conviction as resilient as the highest virtue—like water, it persisted, endured, and pierced stone without fail.

For the first time, Ning Qi encountered such powerful resolve from a Mountain and Sea Realm cultivator.

Opposite him, Zhao Yujun's lithe body quivered faintly.

She stared at her jade-like palm, now released from Ning Qi's grip.

Shock rippled through her azure eyes!

Ning Qi had slipped free from her hold with surprising ease, a feat Zhao Yujun could scarcely credit.

Her mastered great Dao, she thought, could trap anyone in the Mountain and Sea Realm except the Mountain Ancestor and Sea Ancestor—even Zhou Mountain Immortal Sect's leader Gong Tiandao couldn't break loose so swiftly!

Zhao Yujun drew back her hand, her sleeve draping over it.

With a smile, she said, "Taoist Friend Ning truly lives up to being a cultivator who has overcome the Thirty-Sixfold Tribulation; Yujun is impressed."

Ning Qi responded courteously, "Having met Daoist Zhao today, Ning finally realizes how high the heavens are and how deep the sea is."

Zhao Yujun, as Moon Sea Immortal Sect's leader, hadn't met a worthy conversational equal in ages.

Ning Qi filled that void ideally.

Her demeanor grew more genuine.

The Moon Sea Immortal Sect cultivators behind her froze in shock at seeing their sect leader smile repeatedly.

Sect Leader Zhao, though female, embodied the Sea Ancestor's fierce spirit fully—mistaking her for fragile or lenient spelled disaster.

In the Mountain and Sea Realm, amid the grudge between Sea Ancestor and Mountain Ancestor,

after the Sea Ancestor's past defeat by the Mountain Ancestor, their sects clashed endlessly.

Yet Sect Leader Zhao had outmatched Zhou Mountain Immortal Sect's Gong Tiandao repeatedly, securing victories for Moon Sea Immortal Sect time and again.

This revealed the terrifying strength hidden beneath Zhao Yujun's mild exterior!

Ning Qi knew none of this.

No grudges lingered in Ning Qi's mind after their hands separated.

"Sect Leader Zhao, now that we meet here, does the Sea Ancestor have any instructions?"

Even after entering Harmonization, Ning Qi stuck to his habit of prudent caution.
