Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 924 - 395: Ancient Road Sacred Map

Gong Tiandao sadly realized that his humility before Ning Qi was growing exponentially. When they first crossed paths, he, as the Sect Leader of the Zhou Mountain Immortal Sect, held a position of great prestige and paid little mind to a burgeoning genius like Ning Qi. Back then, he even dared to ridicule Ning Qi on occasion! Had it not been for Zhao Yujun's presence and the imminent major conflict against the cultivators from the Vast Realm, Gong Tiandao would have certainly endeavored to teach Ning Qi a lesson about respecting his betters. But now, even if the opportunity presented itself, he would not dare to act. He felt such profound humility that the idea of currying favor with Ning Qi crossed his mind. After all, he had come to the stark realization that no matter his efforts, he could never surpass Ning Qi. This truly solidified the ancient saying: when the gulf between individuals is minor, they incur hatred and animosity; however, once that gulf becomes vast, flattery ensues. This phenomenon is particularly pronounced in the world of cultivation, where strength dictates all. Gong Tiandao would occasionally cast furtive glances at Ning Qi, yet Ning Qi remained completely oblivious to his attention. This realization stirred dissatisfaction within Gong Tiandao, though he was compelled to suppress it. Ning Qi’s gaze was fixed intently on the war domain. The confrontation between Saint Ancestor and Sea Ancestor unfolded with breathtaking speed. Cultivators residing in the Primordial Spirit Realm could not even perceive the fleeting forms of Saint Ancestor and Sea Ancestor, detecting only overwhelming vibrational forces and the cacophony of clashing sounds that permeated the arena. Cultivators in the Void Path Realm, who had begun to grasp the Power of Rules, could sense the chaotic regulations swirling within the war domain, causing them immense discomfort, yet they too were incapable of spotting Saint Ancestor and Sea Ancestor. Only those in the Integration Realm could dimly discern a few glimpses of the combatants' movements, but these ephemeral visions vanished swiftly, leaving behind only fragmented images. As for those at the Unity Realm, they could observe the maneuvers of Saint Ancestor and Sea Ancestor, albeit with significant effort. This difficulty arose because the battle between the two Ancestors had already transcended the Unity Realm, ascending to the very level of the Great Dao. Although termed Unity Realm cultivators, they had merely achieved harmony with the established rules of the Spirit Realm, effectively akin to being granted partial dominion over the Power of Rules by the Spirit Realm itself. Legend dictates that every exceptional individual aspiring to break through the Unity Realm never settles for this; instead, they embark on a perilous journey to forge their own Great Dao! Yet, for the vast majority, this remains entirely beyond their comprehension, and even for the select few harboring such ambition, the undertaking is insurmountably arduous! Consequently, they fall into greater confusion, submerged in a disorienting bewilderment. They question their capacity to surpass the Ancestors and struggle to access a more expansive world. Even Zhao Yujun and Gong Tiandao found themselves confined by these limitations. Ning Qi, however, was the sole individual within the war domain who could perceive every minute detail of the intense battle between Saint Ancestor and Sea Ancestor! Saint Ancestor and Sea Ancestor utilized the entirety of the war domain as their colossal battlefield, occasionally shifting their combat from the periphery near the Vast Realm towards the entrance bordering the Mountain and Sea Realm. Their clash was so devastatingly potent that any shockwave that impinged upon the observing cultivators would result in instantaneous demise for those at the Integration Stage and below, without the slightest chance of survival. Unity Realm cultivators endured marginally better but still needed to solidify their internal rules and exert their utmost strength to resist. Only sect leaders like Zhao Yujun and Gong Tiandao, who were subordinates of the Ancestors, could withstand the onslaught for a slightly longer duration. Ning Qi, however, stood apart; now possessing a myriad of powers, although he still couldn't equal the might of the two Ancestors, his progress towards their level was remarkably swift. In his perception, Saint Ancestor resembled a monk reciting sacred scriptures, with characters forged from Divine Intent continuously emanating from his lips. Each Divine Text represented a distinct Great Dao! For instance, the 'Light' Divine Text. The moment it manifested, it blazed with the brilliance of a blinding flashbang, momentarily incapacitating the vision of numerous observing cultivators and illuminating the entire war domain. This dazzling effect extended beyond mere visual impairment, affecting Spiritual Sense perception as well. In that very instant, the majority of cultivators were deprived of multiple senses, rendering them no different than ordinary mortals. And this was not even primarily directed at them; one could only imagine the intensity Sea Ancestor was enduring! Ning Qi, however, remained unaffected; he perceived even more within that character of 'Light.' Within it were fused the Great Dao powers of 'Sun,' 'Moon,' and 'Star,' embodying varying interpretations of sacred luminescence and scorching caustic intensity, even incorporating multiple supportive methodologies to augment control. The character of light began to dance, descending with forceful suppression towards Sea Ancestor. Sea Ancestor promptly raised her elegant hand.

In the blink of an eye, an immense expanse of Dao Principles formed above her head, effectively blocking the radiant character descending from the outside.

The moment light passed through this boundless sea of Dao Principles, it was fragmented and distorted, becoming mottled and broken.

From Ning Qi's vantage point, Sea Ancestor appeared like countless fish hidden within the ocean; no matter how formidable the incoming light was, a thick layer of seawater would render it harmless.

Boom!

In the subsequent second, the sea of Dao Principles inexplicably surged upwards, as if intending to overpower and push back the 'Light' character.

However, in that instant, the light character fractured into numerous smaller characters, which began to rotate and orbit around the main form.

Just as Ning Qi had foreseen, the Divine Texts associated with 'Sun,' 'Moon,' 'Star,' 'Caustic,' and others detached themselves from the primary light character.

These coalesced into a formidable cluster of Divine Texts, their collective power amplified more than tenfold!

The ascending ocean of Dao Principles was immediately overwhelmed and driven back, exerting a joint downward pressure upon Sea Ancestor.

"Old fellow, do you truly believe you can suppress me with merely that?"

Sea Ancestor's ruby lips curved into a faint smirk as a divine power suddenly erupted from the center of her immaculate white forehead, immediately surging into the churning seawater.
