Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 794: Chapter 334: Calm Before the Storm (Part 2)

The three compasses transformed into streams of light and returned to the hands of the three Sword Ancestors.

Antique base, streamlined and lustrous exterior, transparent crystal Spirit Jade cover above the compass.

Ning Qi designed the Soul-Searching Plate in the style of a pocket watch, so it looked no different from a work of art.

The three Sword Ancestors stared at the new compasses in their hands, gently injecting spiritual power.

In an instant, besides indicating the position of the nearest node to them, the compass also refracted a panoramic map of Central Domain nodes on the surface of the crystal.

Looking at this clear panoramic map of nodes, the faces of the three Sword Ancestors suddenly revealed an extremely excited expression.

They never imagined Ning Qi’s abilities had become so formidable.

Just entering the Central Domain, he already understood the entire node distribution of Central Domain.

Sword Ancestor praised, ”With this visible map of the whole, it’s really advantageous for us!”

Qi Keqing and Zhu Yanchuan both nodded heavily.

The more they followed Ning Qi, the more they found themselves reliant on Ning Qi.

As they gazed at Ning Qi, they increasingly realized the importance of following him.

Even without mentioning Ning Qi’s help to them, just the function of this compass alone, they were reluctant to sever ties with Ning Qi!

If asked to give up this compass at this moment, like when they first entered the war realm and sent cultivators exploring blindly, they’d go mad!

The saying goes, ”Going from frugal to lavish is easy, from lavish back to frugal is hard,” they absolutely refused to return to such a bewildered state!

Therefore, Qi Keqing and Zhu Yanchuan strengthened their resolve once more, to lead their armies in pursuit of Ning Qi no matter what!

Even if Unity Realm were able to enter the war realm, when their sect ancestors arrived, they would never stop following Ning Qi!

The two said nothing, just a hint of admiration from the depths of their hearts showed in the way they looked at Ning Qi.

And this admiration would not fade, but rather grow stronger the longer they followed Ning Qi.

Perhaps they never had such eyes for their sect ancestors!

Sword Ancestor looked at the map, surprised, ”Why are the Vast Realm’s Three Domains cultivators rapidly moving toward the upper region?”

Qi Keqing replied, ”They must have learned of our cross-domain arrival.”

Zhu Yanchuan looked up, seemed to sense the situation here as he then spoke:

”This place can also feel the energy of the Vast Realm, it should be that the Vast Realm Will sensed everything and alerted the Three Domains army.”

The Sword Ancestor and others nodded in agreement.

Zhu Yanchuan looked at Ning Qi and said, ”Domain Master Ning, I have a bad speculation, would Domain Master Ning care to hear?”

”Speak.” Ning Qi said calmly.

Zhu Yanchuan furrowed his brows slightly, his gaze swept across everyone’s face before speaking:

”Since the Vast Realm Will detected our presence, I believe that as our enemy, they won’t just watch us cross domains and cause imbalance between the Central Domain’s two realms. So, what worries me is that they might specifically act against you, Domain Master Ning!”

Zhu Yanchuan didn’t mention the influence of the Three Domains cultivators because he understands, they can cross domains not due to themselves, but because of Ning Qi’s existence.

Of course, the Vast Realm Will is also aware of this.

Upon hearing this, the expression of Sword Ancestor and Qi Keqing changed slightly, becoming a bit heavier.

What Zhu Yanchuan said was reasonable, if they were the Vast Realm, they would never sit idly by and would surely plot against Ning Qi.

Unconsciously, they looked at Ning Qi with concern.

But Ning Qi saw through their thoughts and smiled, saying:

”You need not worry, even if they wish to target me, they would need time to send people in. Otherwise, with the cultivators in this realm of the Vast Realm, even if the Three Domains army united, they wouldn’t harm me a bit. Moreover, they need to find me first!”

Ning Qi’s calm expression eased the heavy looks of the three.

Ning Qi then said to them, ”Now that things here are done, I’ve given you everything you need, the rest is for the three of you to lead your armies and decide what to do!”

The three came to their senses, discovering that Ning Qi had vanished from before them, not even a shadow remained, exchanging helpless smiles.

Clearly they all wanted Ning Qi to be the leader, but Ning Qi insisted on letting the three of them be in charge.

Ning Qi, in taking this hands-off approach to leadership of the three armies, does everything he’s supposed to do, yet he is not with them.

However, the three understood Ning Qi’s well-intentioned strategy; one purpose is to prevent them from relying too heavily on him, allowing them to grow quickly, and the other is that Ning Qi is doing this to protect them.

If they continued to stay together with Ning Qi, then any subsequent plots by the Vast Realm against Ning Qi would come flooding toward them all, and the armies would not escape casualties.

Sword Ancestor’s sword-like eyebrows slightly furrowed as he said to the two:

”Let us three discuss first, the Three Domains army is under our command, and we can’t let him handle everything alone, we should also share some of the pressure for him.”

Qi Keqing accepted, ”My Fuyao Realm is willing to fight for Domain Master Ning!”

”Our Langya Domain is the same!”

...

Ning Qi, like a lone wolf, once again traveled alone in the Central Domain.

He did not immediately seek trouble with the Vast Realm cultivators, he did not care for the struggle between the Mountain and Sea Realm and the Vast Realm even if the earth crumbles, as long as it didn’t interfere with the survival of Ning Qi and the True Martial Realm.

Ning Qi surely chooses to seize those six nodes first, to further strengthen the True Martial Realm, this is where his confidence comes from.
