Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 944 - 404: Leave It to Ning Qi_3

"To be direct, this impending confrontation is far beyond your capacity to engage with. I have already established contact with the consciousnesses of both realms; they will facilitate a dimensional gateway to the Vast Realm for your safe passage."

Upon absorbing this information, a somber and perplexed mood settled over everyone present.

They understood the gravity of Ning Qi's pronouncement. It was clear that in the face of a conflict between the Three Ancestors, remaining within the war-torn realm would only result in them being insignificant casualties, swept away by the chaotic currents of battle.

However... they were cultivators hailing from the Mountain and Sea Realm!

The prospect of cultivators from the Mountain and Sea Realm venturing into the Vast Realm, a territory already populated by numerous cultivators seeking refuge from prior conflicts, was fraught with peril. Such an influx would inevitably ignite animosity and reignite old feuds, potentially escalating into further turmoil.

Nevertheless, for some, escaping to a different realm seemed preferable to perishing in the current one.

Ning Qi observed their reactions, then stated, "I comprehend your apprehensions; rest assured, with the backing of the Vast Realm's will and the mandate of the Saint Ancestor, the inhabitants of the Vast Realm will pose no threat to you."

Though they found the protection offered by the opposing Ancestor and Realm Venerable somewhat unusual, the group found it within themselves to trust Ning Qi's assurance.

The Sword Ancestor stepped forward, prepared to voice his thoughts.

However, Zhao Yujun spoke before him, her gaze fixed on Ning Qi: "Fellow Daoist Ning, will you not accompany us?"

A faint smile touched Ning Qi's lips as he gestured forward, "Such a monumental opportunity—to forgo it would be the height of foolishness."

His lighthearted response even managed to elicit a few chuckles from the anxious assembly.

Yet, the others, unlike Ning Qi, did not dare to remain in the war realm.

Zhao Yujun seemed poised to continue her inquiry.

But Ning Qi interjected, "Sect Leader Zhao, I entrust them to your care for the time being."

Hearing this, Zhao Yujun paused briefly before nodding with firm resolve.

"This Jade Monarch pledges their utmost effort!"

The Sword Ancestor opened his mouth, but found himself at a loss for words.

Should he urge Ning Qi to depart with them, or simply advise him to exercise caution?

Ning Qi looked at them with a profound gaze, stating, "Fear not, your departure is merely a temporary respite; I shall have need of you again!"

With a sharp snap of his fingers, Ning Qi initiated the next sequence of events.

Instantly, the Vast Realm opened a swirling portal.

This gateway, resembling a maelstrom, swiftly drew the departing group into its depths before sealing shut, leaving no trace.

It was as if lingering even a moment longer would have invited immediate peril.

Ning Qi retracted his gaze as a figure materialized beside him.

"Ning Qi, my master and I have reached an accord with your terms; the rest is now in your hands!"

Ning Qi massaged his forehead, replying, "What precisely do you mean by 'in my hands'? At best, I can offer assistance; the Mountain Ancestor will still require the Saint Ancestor and Sea Ancestor to bear the brunt of the engagement."

The imposing figure representing the Vast Realm's will cast a silent glance at Ning Qi.

"I shall also aid my master in shouldering this burden."

Having spoken, he vanished from Ning Qi's immediate vicinity.

...

At the foot of the Divine Mountain Illusion.

The spectral form of the Vast Realm's will appeared, his demeanor etched with deep concern.

He addressed the Saint Ancestor, who lay prone on the ground before him, asking, "Master, can we truly place our trust in Ning Qi?"

"If this course of action persists, I fear our Vast Realm risks complete absorption by this Divine Mountain. Should we not make haste to return to the Vast Realm, where united, we might devise a strategy to escape this Sea of Realms?"

The Saint Ancestor heard the question and turned over.

"Zhili, do you genuinely believe escape is within our grasp? That individual is now making sacrifices of his own kin; his calculations are undeniably precise."

Upon hearing this, the Vast Realm's will knitted his brows.

Following the Saint Ancestor's statement, his expression abruptly shifted.

"Trouble—investigate swiftly to ascertain if any anomalies are occurring within the Vast Realm!"

The Vast Realm's will immediately closed his eyes, establishing a connection with the central consciousness of the Vast Realm.

The Main Will promptly surveyed the situation within the Vast Realm, detecting no irregularities.

"Master, there appear to be no disturbances within the Vast Realm."

The Saint Ancestor seemed to exhale in relief.

He had just entertained the possibility that if the Mountain Ancestor orchestrated the entire affair, then the interior of the Vast Realm might also be subject to that individual's machinations.

Mere moments prior, the Sea Ancestor had conveyed a clandestine message, implying that should they successfully acquire the coveted item, infiltrating the Vast Realm would become astonishingly simple!
