Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 599: Chapter 277: Approaching (Part 4)

Sword Shocking originally intended to completely eliminate the Great Dao’s injury within his body through this.

However, the evil thing attached to his Primordial Spirit and flesh, even after secluding himself for ten thousand years, he couldn’t remove it, and the injury instead worsened.

In his previous full fight with Ning Qi, he could only maintain that ten-thousand-meter Rule Divine Chain for a few breaths. If not for the thrill of the hunt, he wouldn’t have used it at all.

Upon hearing this, Ning Qi frowned slightly.

It turns out there’s such a story behind Sword Ancestor.

”Can Sword Ancestor force out a bit of that evil, for the young one to observe, so I may seek solutions for Sword Ancestor in the future?”

Sword Shocking placed his hand on the Dantian and then closed his eyes.

He seemed to tremble slightly, with all his Primordial Spirit and Spiritual Qi gathering towards the Dantian.

Before long, Sword Shocking used Sword Dao Rules to seal a wisp of black Qi, enclosed it in jade, and handed it to Ning Qi, his face pale, with a hint of sweat on his forehead.

A person like him, even in death, would never utter a single complaint.

Yet merely forcing out a trace of evil Qi felt like falling ill.

Sword Shocking said, ”Don’t hold too much hope, your talent surpasses mine, don’t waste time on me, I can still endure.”

Ning Qi carefully accepted it.

”Rest assured, Sword Ancestor, I will not act rashly.”

He did not examine the evil Qi immediately but asked, ”Why did Sword Ancestor leave only me behind?”

Sword Shocking unexpectedly took out another Jade Scroll and handed it to Ning Qi.

”I have spent ten thousand years observing Tianxing Dao to gain such insights, there are three among them.”

”First, is the true understanding of ’One Sword Breaks Ten Thousand Techniques.’

”Second, is the art of Sword Dao controlling all Daos.”

”Third, although I am not skilled, I vaguely sensed some things from the heavens and earth.”

Sword Ancestor pondered for a moment, looking towards the void, his sword-like eyes seemed to penetrate the rooftop, seeing through the void, directly reaching the Spirit Realm.

”This Spirit Realm seems incomplete, if we continue cultivating in the old ways, there might be great issues. By coincidence, I realized new methods, a blessing in disguise. However, my path, perhaps only you in the whole sect can continue it, so now I completely teach it to you.”

Ning Qi carefully accepted, admiring Sword Ancestor’s insight immensely.

As the True Martial Realm Master, things he could see, Sword Ancestor also saw.

Then Sword Shocking suddenly showed a solemn expression and continued:

”What I mentioned earlier is too distant, right now there’s something important, urgent, that I need to tell you.”

”Please instruct, Sword Ancestor.”

Sword Shocking nodded slightly.

”As Sect Leader, are you aware that the Spirit Realm we inhabit also possesses its own consciousness?”

Ning Qi nodded, ”Is Sword Ancestor talking about the Spirit Realm War?”

”Indeed, it’s unexpected that you already know.”

”Supreme Elder Ziyang mentioned a few things to me.”

Sword Shocking understood, ”That’s good then. The Spirit Realm War is most perilous. Even if both of us in the sect enter Integration Realm, and the subsequent Unity Realm, if the Spirit Realm War fully breaks out, it may be difficult to preserve life, much less protect the sect.”

Ning Qi said, ”Sword Ancestor, since the Spirit Realm War is so perilous, don’t we have any retreat?”

Sword Shocking replied, ”We are but an Upper Sect in the Beixuan Domain, and the Spirit Realm War is warfare between realms. As members of a realm, naturally there’s no retreat; the saying goes ’one glory, all glory; one loss, all loss.’”

He paused slightly, ”Fortunately, even if the Spirit Realm War breaks out, unless absolutely necessary, typically it’s soldier against soldier, general against general.”

”My emergence from seclusion was not only due to the disturbance within the sect, but also because I sensed the imminent arrival of the Spirit Realm War. And our Infinite Sword Sect will surely be summoned there, so I hope you can lead the Infinite Sword Sect through the crisis.”

”Danger also breeds opportunity. With you as Sect Leader now, judging by your leadership performance in the Profound Truth Secret Realm, I believe you can surely lead the Infinite Sword Sect through the crisis and turn danger into opportunity.”

Ning Qi followed Sword Shocking’s gaze.

His sight, too, penetrated the rooftop, reaching into the void beyond the Spirit Realm.

Perhaps other sects are worried about the Spirit Realm War, but only Ning Qi himself understands how crucial the Spirit Realm War is to him.

If the True Martial Realm wants to escape being devoured by the Mountain and Sea Realm, one solution is to assimilate more rules and elevate to Spirit Realm, to resist it.

The second solution is for him to actively participate in the Spirit Realm War, reaping the benefits as others struggle.

Ning Qi must pursue both simultaneously!
