Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 961 - 412: Mountain and Sea Fuse with True Martial (Part 2)

Was the connection between the two realms predestined, or was there another reason? The Will of the Mountain and Sea Realm, however, instantly perceived the Realm Power emanating from the Vast Realm... This... It made him even more apprehensive! Why did the True Martial Realm possess the Realm Power of the Vast Realm? Was the True Martial Realm not a minor world situated beneath the Mountain and Sea Realm? Sensing the power within it caused him, as the will of the higher Spirit Realm, to feel a tremor of panic. Previously, when the Will of the Mountain and Sea Realm detected Ning Qi's true identity, it remained concerned about him. Despite Ning Qi having saved him, the Will still doubted Ning Qi's ability to handle the impending catastrophe, but now... The Will of the Mountain and Sea Realm genuinely believed that Ning Qi might possess the capability to alter the outcome! Ning Qi had not revealed his identity out of desperation, but had meticulously prepared long ago, hence the various forces present within the True Martial Realm. As the nexus between the True Martial and Mountain and Sea Realms materialized, Ning Qi retracted his right hand. The vine-like spatial passage that linked the two realms was no longer required. With a subtle exertion of Ning Qi's will, the junction rapidly expanded, forging a more expansive passage for the amalgamation of the two realms. Suddenly, Ning Qi extended his left hand, directing it towards the Profound Truth Realm situated below. "Realm Venerable, lend me your aid this time. I intend to draw a portion of the Spirit Domain into the True Martial Realm first, to prevent an overly significant disturbance that might incite the Mountain Ancestor's retribution." The Will of the Mountain and Sea Realm snapped back to full awareness, immediately grasping the task at hand. As the Will of the Mountain and Sea Realm, it might be unable to directly interfere within Ning Qi's True Martial Realm, but with its current strength, it could relocate one domain's land from within the Mountain and Sea Realm. Without delay, it reached out towards the Profound Truth Realm beneath. Both exerted their might simultaneously! Under the astonished gazes of everyone within the Profound Truth Realm, the entire domain began to detach from the Endless Sea. Rumble! Seawater surged violently, crashing in all directions. The Profound Truth Realm ascended steadily, resembling a colossal Immortal Island gracefully drifting towards the heavens. Within the Profound Truth Realm, the remaining cultivators stared in utter shock, speechless. What spectacle had they just witnessed? Their Domain Master possessed abilities akin to the ancient Sea Ancestor, capable of moving the entire Profound Truth Realm; this was an entire Spirit Domain! But more crucially, it appeared their Domain Master intended to transport them and the entirety of the Profound Truth Realm to another world. What was transpiring? Ning Qi seemed to perceive their bewilderment and sent a silent telepathic message: "Do not be alarmed; I shall soon transport you to the True Martial Realm. I have never revealed my true identity to you; I am the True Martial Realm Master, and the True Martial Realm is my domain!" "What?" The inhabitants of the Profound Truth Realm stood frozen, their minds reeling from the revelation, verging on paralysis. Their Domain Master is the True Martial Realm Master? They swallowed nervously, finding the revelation difficult to fully comprehend. After all, to their knowledge, Ning Qi had been the Sect Leader of the Infinite Sword Sect merely a few years prior and had only ascended to the esteemed position of Domain Master after unifying the Profound Truth Realm. Now, Ning Qi had become a Realm Lord; how could they not be astonished? How could they not be stunned? The magnitude of this transformation was so profound that even those who had known Ning Qi the longest from the Infinite Sword Sect struggled to process it. After providing the explanation, Ning Qi understood that while they might initially struggle to accept it, they would not become lost. He remained their Domain Master, and once they integrated into the True Martial Realm, they would find stability. As the entirety of the Profound Truth Realm dislodged from the Endless Sea, its acceleration increased, propelling it towards the spatial passage leading to the heavens. Whoosh! Fueled by the combined might of Ning Qi and the Will of the Mountain and Sea Realm, the Profound Truth Realm blazed directly into the True Martial Realm. Within the True Martial Realm. Countless beings turned their gazes towards the direction of the Mountain and Sea Realm, their eyes wide as they observed a Spirit Domain continent descending from above. All this time, they had understood from their Realm Lord that the Mountain and Sea Realm posed a significant threat to the True Martial Realm. Unexpectedly, their Realm Lord could now seize a Spirit Domain from the Mountain and Sea Realm. Every being offered fervent worship and loudly proclaimed the Realm Lord's invincibility, making the newly arrived individuals from the Profound Truth Realm feel as though they were adrift in a dream. It was real; they were not dreaming! Their Domain Master was indeed the sovereign of this realm, revered by all its inhabitants. The Profound Truth Realm cast a vast shadow within the True Martial Realm but landed with remarkable smoothness. Ultimately, it integrated seamlessly with the True Martial Immortal Sect situated above.

For Ning Qi, the Profound Truth Realm was a Spirit Domain he had personally forged after venturing into the Mountain and Sea Realm, holding deep personal significance, thus he directly integrated it into the True Martial Immortal Sect.

Shifting our focus back to within the Mountain and Sea Realm.

The tremendous disturbance caused by the Profound Truth Realm’s severing from the Endless Sea did not go unnoticed by the neighboring Moon Sea Immortal Sect.

Numerous female cultivators from the Moon Sea Immortal Sect witnessed the Profound Truth Realm’s departure from the Endless Sea. With the exception of those responsible for maintaining the sect's ongoing affairs, all ascended into the sky.

"What in the world is happening?"

"Why has the Profound Truth Realm detached itself from the Endless Sea?"

While some were querying the Profound Truth Realm's actions, the majority directed their gaze toward the heavens.

"What is that, a newly formed Spirit Realm?"

"Sisters, I believe I spot Ning Qi down there."

"We see him too!"

"Ning Qi has actually moved the Profound Truth Realm into that new Spirit Realm! How could he possibly wield such immense power?"

"The people of the Profound Truth Realm are saved!"

The astonished murmurs continued without pause, as every female cultivator of the Moon Sea Immortal Sect fixed their eyes on Ning Qi's receding figure, deeply moved.

They even dared to think that, at this very moment, Ning Qi stood as an equal to their own peerless Sea Ancestor.

Naturally, a greater number pondered if Ning Qi would extend his aid to them as well, considering the prevailing circumstances.

Ever since Ning Qi’s departure, the situation within the Mountain and Sea Realm had grown increasingly dire; without the Sea Ancestor, they were left without a crucial pillar of support.

It became starkly apparent that if the Mountain and Sea Realm continued its downward spiral, remaining within the Moon Sea Immortal Sect would offer no true protection against the encroaching catastrophe befalling this Spirit Realm.

Their deliverance would either materialize with the Sea Ancestor's return or through the intervention of the Ning Qi now before them.

"Will he come to our rescue?"

Someone uttered the collective hope harbored by all.

As the Profound Truth Realm completed its departure, Ning Qi’s gaze swept over towards them.

A palpable thrumming resonated within the chests of all the female cultivators from the Moon Sea Immortal Sect.

Ning Qi was looking at them!

They had dedicated their lives to the path of cultivation, yet had never experienced such an electrifying moment, nor yearned so intensely for salvation, particularly from a man.

"Are you experiencing hesitation?" The Will of the Mountain and Sea Realm addressed Ning Qi.

Ning Qi responded with a shake of his head, "It is not hesitation, but rather a reluctance to obliterate the forces the Sea Ancestor painstakingly established."

Despite the limited interactions he had with the Sea Ancestor, he had indeed received guidance from him.

The Sea Ancestor had diverged from the Mountain Ancestor, confronted the lineage of Buzhou Mountain, and single-handedly forged a rival power.

Now, facing the dire calamity of the Mountain and Sea Realm, Ning Qi found himself compelled to dismantle the very forces the Sea Ancestor had built, a prospect that brought a sense of regret.

After all, this represented the culmination of the Sea Ancestor’s life's work.

If circumstances had permitted, Ning Qi would have preferred to maintain the existing order rather than absorb the Sea Ancestor’s influence into the True Martial Realm.

However, there was no other recourse at present!

Ning Qi directed his attention towards the members of the Moon Sea Immortal Sect and proclaimed his decree through Tao Sound.

"Are you willing to enter another Spirit Realm?"

Within the Moon Sea Immortal Sect, a wave of exchanged glances swept through the crowd.

Their hearts yearned to assent, yet they lacked the courage to voice it.

This stemmed solely from the Sea Ancestor’s explicit instruction for them to guard the Moon Sea Immortal Sect; they were bound by their duty and could not depart.

Ning Qi, perceiving their inner thoughts and concerns, continued his address:

"Fear not, the Sea Ancestor shall indeed return. However, with the calamity in the Mountain and Sea Realm intensifying, should you tarry further, you may never have the chance to see the Sea Ancestor again!"

The female cultivators of the Moon Sea Immortal Sect remained fixed upon Ning Qi, their silence profound.

Ning Qi then declared, "I shall make a special exception for your situation, acting on behalf of the Sea Ancestor as well. You and the entirety of the Moon Sea Immortal Sect shall remain as you are, integrating into the True Martial Realm!"

A collective murmur of agreement rippled through the assembled cultivators.

The power of Ning Qi and the Will of the Mountain and Sea Realm surged around them.

A cascade of Realm Powers emanated outward, reaching towards the Moon Sea Immortal Sect.

The myriad islands constituting the heart of the Moon Sea Immortal Sect, which had been adrift in the Endless Sea, began to tremble in unison.

Subsequently, they coalesced into a singular, unified mass, ascending towards Ning Qi's position.

These islands, resembling colossal fleets, traversed the vast expanse of the sky.

Across the Endless Sea, remnants of other Spirit Domains and distant continents, home to the remaining cultivators, observed this spectacle with envious eyes, their gazes sparkling with longing.
