Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 908 - 387: A Bright Moon in the Deep Sea
Previously on Cultivating with Top Enlightenment...
Ning Qi had no clue what the Saint Ancestor sent to the Sea Ancestor, yet the Sea Ancestor’s avatar abruptly shifted its decision, aiming to step into that Peach Blossom Spring Space.
That alone would have been acceptable, but it even summoned him to come along!
Ning Qi received no chance whatsoever to turn down the Sea Ancestor.
He wisely opted to stay composed and silent, offering no resistance.
He still aimed to glean insights from the clash between the two ancestors’ avatars and uncover precisely what the Saint Ancestor and Sea Ancestor plotted.
Thus, Ning Qi trailed after the Sea Ancestor, stepping into the Peach Blossom Spring Space alongside.
Meanwhile, the remaining cultivators in the Central Domain could merely exchange glances before diving back into combat.
Inside the Peach Blossom Spring Space.
Three successive ripples pulsed at the entrance, bringing three figures into view.
Ning Qi’s first look fell on the Sea Ancestor avatar nearby.
Right then, the Sea Ancestor avatar stood facing the distant Saint Ancestor avatar, its silhouette exuding arrogant pride and unyielding straightness.
Ning Qi scanned the full expanse of the Peach Blossom Spring Space.
Sure enough, the Peach Blossom Spring Space conjured this time by the Saint Ancestor’s avatar stood far stabler than the last, encompassing a much vaster domain.
It remained uncertain if the Saint Ancestor’s avatar sought to ensnare Ning Qi once more or had foreseen the Mountain and Sea Realm’s ancestor avatar arriving, hence the advance preparations.
Finally, Ning Qi turned his gaze to the Saint Ancestor’s avatar, realizing that the instant this old man entered the Peach Blossom Spring Space, his eyes had locked onto him too.
"You seem unusually focused on this junior?" he remarked to the Sea Ancestor avatar, as if offhandedly.
The Sea Ancestor avatar countered, "What, you interested in Ning Qi too?"
The Saint Ancestor avatar chuckled, "A prodigy whose potential eclipses even ours—even at our realm, it’s tough not to take notice, right?"
"Enough chit-chat, we haven’t truly clashed yet—let’s handle that first!"
Abruptly, the Sea Ancestor avatar blinked away in teleportation again.
This time, she restrained nothing, unleashing her full might.
From the sidelines, Ning Qi caught the roar of boundless ocean waves reverberating across the entire Peach Blossom Spring Space.
The Sea Ancestor avatar materialized before the Saint Ancestor avatar, launching the opening blow with her fist.
Upon her right fist, aqueous glow coalesced into a dragon’s head.
This dragon head formed a water dragon phantom, fluid in endless shifts, infused with the Sea Ancestor’s Daoist Will.
Ning Qi’s mind quaked; in that instant, the Water Vapor Spiritual Power Rules filling the Peach Blossom Spring Space all stirred under the Sea Ancestor’s punch.
Even more profoundly, a strange sensation enveloped Ning Qi, soft like quiet drizzle descending.
The Sea Ancestor avatar’s punch embodied the Ultimate Soft Power of the world’s Daoist Laws.
Unlike the Power of Rules grasped by Harmonization cultivators, this Daoist Law transcended it utterly.
With the Ultimate Soft Power, the Sea Ancestor avatar could overwhelm any opposing force!
The Saint Ancestor avatar’s aged eyes flashed with interest, plainly fascinated by the Sea Ancestor avatar’s strength too.
He made no move to dodge, simply thrusting his right hand forward swiftly.
A golden character sprang forth from the Saint Ancestor avatar’s palm without warning.
Tied to his consciousness, the golden character inscribed itself smoothly, forging a colossal "镇" (suppression) character.
"Suppress the Sea with One Word!"
The suppression character, upon manifesting, released a crushing suppressive might.
The very moment it solidified, the Sea Ancestor’s water dragon phantom slowed its charge, seemingly held back by the character’s brilliance.
Yet swiftly, it bared its maw, unleashing a thunderous dragon’s bellow!
"Roar!"
From the dragon head gushed torrents like ultra-high-pressure streams, smashing toward the radiant suppression character.
Boom!
They slammed into each other, the watery surge building wave over wave, each amplifying the force twofold, utterly drowning the suppression character.
Amid the deluge, the Saint Ancestor avatar’s suppression character erupted in infinite golden brilliance, revealing its arcane might!
Deadlocked in the emptiness, the two forces steadily gathered more power.
At length, their energies swelled together, detonating in fury!
Rumble!
The deafening blast resembled rolling thunder, flinging both figures back half a mile instantly, as the suppression character and water column alike dissolved in the same breath.
The avatar of the Sea Ancestor blinked its icy gaze.
"What a formidable Saint Ancestor, turning letters into chains that bind the laws of heaven and earth."
Her voice, like surging tides, held a hint of thrill.
Suddenly, her jade hand flipped over, forming a profound blue water drop in her palm.
In the instant that followed, she snapped her finger.
"Boundless Sea!"
The droplet shot through the air at the Saint Ancestor avatar, swelling swiftly en route until it became an enormous ocean.
This ocean took solid form, no mere phantom; infinitely expansive, it blended seamlessly with the spatial forces of the Peach Blossom Spring Space as soon as it emerged.
Even stranger, it grew fully transparent at last, as if shapeless and blank, dissolving completely into the void.
Ning Qi, spectating nearby, suddenly widened his eyes in shock.
Truly deserving of the Sea Ancestor title, commanding the Dao to this degree by merging perfectly with the space called forth by the Saint Ancestor’s avatar.
This move exploited the Saint Ancestor avatar’s own Peach Blossom Space against him.
How to describe it?
As the Art of War declares, water lacks fixed shape, excelling at using external forces!
The water currents fused entirely with the space, inseparable and silent, stealthily advancing on the Saint Ancestor avatar.
The Saint Ancestor avatar first regarded it lightly, yet upon seeing this sight, his face twisted dramatically; such an assault exposed the Sea Ancestor’s authentic might!
Should this power go unchecked, even his avatar would suffer corrosion from it, ultimately vanishing into nothingness.
"Hundred Character Divine Techniques!" the Saint Ancestor uttered softly.
