Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 702: Chapter 304: Saint Ancestor (2)

At this moment, the Saint Ancestor still lingered atop an independent Immortal Peak within the sect.

This Immortal Peak did not possess the otherworldly aura, shrouded in clouds and mist, like the other peaks within the Vast Immortal Sect.

It resembled an ordinary, yet beautiful, mountain peak; a winding stone path led from the base to the mid-mountain.

There was a large flat ground at mid-mountain.

On the far left, there was a cloud pavilion suspended in the air, offering a view of the vast blue sky and leisurely drifting clouds.

To the right, a waterfall cascaded down the mountain gully between lush bamboo, and the mist it raised shimmered with a rainbow of colors under the sunlight.

In the center was a modest courtyard.

In front of the courtyard was a broad wooden table, upon which the Four Treasures of the Study were displayed.

Behind the table sat an old man with white hair and beard, his hair tied with a band, adorned with a simple wooden hairpin.

He wore robes of gray and white, exuding the presence of a down-and-out scholar.

Yet this old man was revered as the Saint Ancestor of the entire Vast Realm.

The old man seemed more composed compared to the two Ancestors of the Mountain and Sea Realm; he picked up a brush and continued to write leisurely, indifferent to the happenings within the War Realm.

Only the Sect Leader of the Vast Immortal Sect and the Will of the Vast Realm paid close attention, occasionally exchanging words, but they did not dare to disturb the old man.

...

Currently, the War Realm was not limited to a single location; overall, it could be divided into nine areas.

The four cardinal directions, along with the southeast, southwest, northeast, and northwest, plus the central land, added up to a total of nine War Realms.

Each War Realm corresponded to a specific Spirit Domain within the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Cultivators from multiple Spirit Domains would venture into the corresponding War Realm, and the Profound Truth Realm where Ning Qi and others belonged corresponded to the Southeast War Realm.

But from the perspective of the Vast Realm, there were naturally also nine War Realms.

However, the correspondence of Spirit Domains’ locations within the realm differed from those in the Mountain and Sea Realm.

The two realms were exactly opposite in position.

For example, the Southeast War Realm where Ning Qi and others were located corresponded not to the southeast of the Vast Realm, but to the northwest.

In the Mountain and Sea Realm, the Profound Truth Realm was relatively marginal, but it corresponded to the mid-tier Spirit Domain in the northwest of the Vast Realm.

Therefore, in the War Realm where Ning Qi and the others were, the Vast Realm had an overall advantage!

Ning Qi and the group were heading toward the realm node.

At this moment, a great battle was raging at that realm node!

Arriving on this scene was the White Crane Immortal Sect from the Aerial Beasts Spirit Domain of the Vast Realm.

The White Crane Immortal Sect boasted a history of over five hundred thousand years.

Within the White Crane Immortal Sect, two Perfection Venerables were in conversation.

Extreme Venerable Shu Lingyu glanced at several Integration Realm cultivators battling a Black Jiao, noticing they were slowly gaining the upper hand over the fierce Jiao, he paid no more attention.

He spoke to another top-tier Venerable beside him:

"Junior Brother Hao, based on the results inferred by the Divination of the Vast Immortal Sect, the realm we’re facing belongs to the lesser forces within the Mountain and Sea Realm’s Spirit Domains, so this should be an easy task."

Hao Qiuran nodded in agreement and replied, "Senior Brother Shu, you’re absolutely right, that’s why the sect decided to deploy four teams to explore this realm."

He smiled and added, "In my opinion, even if we split into eight teams, we could still crush the opponents from their Spirit Domain. With so many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures here, dividing into four teams actually slows down the domain exploration."

Shu Lingyu shook his head and motioned toward the Black Jiao with his mouth.

"Junior Brother Hao, don’t forget, within the realm, there are not only cultivators from the Mountain and Sea Realm but also fierce beasts from the Sea of Realms. If our people spread too thin, they might encounter danger."

Hao Qiuran squinted, acknowledging the truth of those words.

They gazed at the Black Jiao.

Aside from them, their subordinate cultivators were all engaged in battle with that Black Jiao.

The Integration Realm cultivators were at the forefront, the Void Path Realm in the middle, and the Primordial Spirit Realm at the rear, completely surrounding the Black Jiao.

Yet the Black Jiao remained ferocious; its entire body was covered in black scales, glistening like obsidian, spanning a range of a thousand zhang.

With every claw strike, it tore through the void, creating difficult-to-heal black holes.

Every tail swing seemed capable of overturning the heavens, with an overwhelming momentum.

Unfortunately, the Black Jiao was merely a fierce beast that had just stepped into the Integration Realm.

Confronted by nine Integration Realm cultivators, along with a hundred Void Path Realm and a thousand Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators, its every attack was blocked!

Its massive, twisting body, spanning a thousand zhang, was being continuously compressed and shrunk, as terrifying surges of magical techniques poured toward it.

In the void, Rule Divine Chains emerged, forming an inescapable net, pressing down on the Black Jiao!

The Black Jiao’s eyes were blood-red, releasing waves of furious roars, yet it was helpless.

Suddenly, from its maw filled with sharp teeth, it spewed forth black flames; the Black Flame clouded around its body.

As soon as it appeared, it incinerated most of the netting, even collapsing half of the void.

The cultivators of the White Crane Immortal Sect were startled, their hearts suddenly filled with fury.

Despite their numbers, they had yet to subdue a single Sea of Realms Black Jiao; it was truly a bit disgraceful.

Immediately, the nine Integration Realm cultivators at the forefront formed into three groups, creating a Three-Star Great Formation.

One star for the sun, its light radiant; one star for the moon, its light gentle; one star for the star, its light cascading down!

The light from the stars separated from the nine and pressed down toward the Black Jiao in the center.

The Black Jiao continued to spew Black Flame, which had previously collapsed the void and incinerated Spiritual Energy Rules, but now seemed to have encountered a higher existence.
