Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 881: Chapter 374: Contempt_2

Damn it, if you had discovered Ning Qi a bit earlier, would he have ended up in the hands of the Sea Ancestor?

It was one thing not to discover Ning Qi beforehand, but afterwards, letting the Profound Truth Realm be seized by the Sea Ancestor.

Even Ning Qi’s weakness has fallen into the hands of the Sea Ancestor, how could he possibly be persuaded?

Actually, Gong Tiandao considered forcibly taking Ning Qi away.

But with a momentary glance at Zhao Yujun, who was staring at him meaningfully, with this crazy woman around, he wouldn’t stand a chance.

Moreover, Ning Qi’s strength is not weak now.

Ultimately, Gong Tiandao could only sigh inwardly and abandon the idea of bringing Ning Qi back under the Mountain Ancestor’s command.

He then strategically withdrew, saying, ”Taoist Friend Ning is a free man, he can stay wherever he wishes, how could I forcibly recruit him?”

After speaking, Gong Tiandao turned north and continued, ”I think we should discuss the upcoming strategy; I fear both sides will soon lift this boundary wall.”

He acted as if he truly wasn’t here to recruit Ning Qi, though everyone could see it, no one mentioned it further.

Zhao Yujun observed, gesturing to Ning Qi.

”Taoist Friend Ning, now you are qualified to participate in the strategic planning of this war, please come with me.”

Ning Qi then flew forward alongside them.

They flew to the boundary wall formed by the rules of the two realms.

The boundary wall separated north and south.

Gong Tiandao activated his Divine Eye again, suddenly turning his head and asking, ”Can Taoist Friend Ning see the situation on the other side clearly?”

”No problem!”

Ning Qi’s eyes automatically transformed into the Golden Pupil of Illusion-breaking.

Truthfully, whether he activated the Golden Pupil of Illusion-breaking or not, he could easily view the entire Central Domain now, but in front of the two Sect Leaders, better to be modest.

Zhao Yujun’s pair of blue, water-like eyes seemed to stir like a vortex, clearly, she too possessed a type of Divine Eye that could discern reality.

The three of them gazed north through the boundary wall.

Gong Tiandao proactively said, ”Thanks to Taoist Friend Ning’s presence, over a thousand Harmonization cultivators were extinguished during the tribulation, and now they have fewer Harmonization cultivators in the Central Domain compared to us.”

”It was just a casual effort,” Ning Qi humbly replied.

Zhao Yujun’s eyes half closed, as if searching for something.

”Within the Vast Realm, the Vast Immortal Sect reigns supreme, their Sect Leader is called Jiang Yingchu, can you perceive his location?”

Gong Tiandao shook his head slightly, ”I can’t see his exact position, but I can vaguely sense where he might be based on his cultivation.”

”Is it there?” Zhao Yujun pointed to a location northeast.

Gong Tiandao nodded slightly.

”Exactly, can Taoist Friend Ning perceive it?”

Upon hearing this, Ning Qi immediately understood the scope of their vision.

These two fellows’ sight seems far inferior to his own.

However, being able to detect the situation beyond the boundary wall is already commendable, fitting their position as Sect Leaders.

Ning Qi also pointed northeast, saying, ”Jiang Yingchu should be seventeen miles northeast of us.”

Hearing Ning Qi speak of such a specific location, both were slightly astonished.

Good heavens, is Ning Qi’s vision stronger than theirs?

Gong Tiandao tentatively asked, ”Brother Ning, can you actually see Jiang Yingchu?”

Ning Qi nodded.

”Not only can I see him, but I can also see he’s rallying his subordinates, seemingly sketching some kind of array on the ground.”

Ning Qi withheld some details, but upon hearing this, both were stunned, ripples rising within their hearts.

Ning Qi spoke so precisely, even though they had doubts, they didn’t question much.

Zhao Yujun smiled faintly.

”It seems although this battle has not yet begun, Taoist Friend Ning has already made a contribution. Jiang Yingchu’s vision should be similar to ours, he doesn’t know what we’re doing; however, we know what he’s doing, which adds a bit more to our chances.”

Zhao Yujun shifted her tone, looking at Ning Qi and Gong Tiandao.

”Should we also imprint arrays on the ground?”

Gong Tiandao furrowed his brows slightly.

Both sects have traditionally been opposed, each cultivating and learning conflicting practices.

Before Ning Qi’s involvement, the two had no intention of communication, each occupying a side, ready to confront the enemy.

Now Zhao Yujun mentioned also wishing to sketch arrays like Jiang Yingchu on the ground, this...

Gong Tiandao spoke frankly, ”Forgive my candor, our sects’ arrays have always clashed like fire and water; if we imprint arrays on the ground, I believe it would not only be ineffective but might even cause unnecessary conflict.”

Zhao Yujun didn’t respond.

Her brows furrowed slightly, clearly agreeing with Gong Tiandao’s rationale.

Ning Qi’s heart stirred, thinking, ”Imprinting arrays? I’ve already engraved a grand array encircling the entire war realm, but within the Central Domain, it can be repaired and strengthened further, while also gaining insight into their sects’ arrays within the Mountain and Sea Realm.”

Thinking this, Ning Qi promptly said, ”I may be inexperienced, but I’ve made some breakthroughs in the Array Path, perhaps I can mediate the conflicts you’re concerned about.”

Both of them focused their gaze on him.

Zhao Yujun sincerely advised, ”Taoist Friend Ning, this matter is of great importance, you mustn’t get involved lightly.”

Knowing Ning Qi’s remarkable talent, but the Array Path of the Moon Sea Immortal Sect and Zhou Mountain Immortal Sect has accumulated over countless millennia.

She believed Ning Qi might not be aware of this, hence the friendly reminder.

Gong Tiandao’s eyes flashed with a trace of disdain but quickly concealed it.

However, he said, ”Sect Leader Zhao, what if Taoist Friend Ning speaks the truth?”

Zhao Yujun shot him a glance, already knowing what Gong Tiandao was thinking.

Faced with the intimidating gaze of this vicious woman, Gong Tiandao’s neck visibly shrank.

Nevertheless, he didn’t give up, saying, ”Sect Leader Zhao, the matter of imprinting arrays is crucial, even if there’s a slight hope, we ought to seize it; otherwise, if the Vast Immortal Sect is prepared, we’ll fall behind in this aspect.”

Zhao Yujun understood this reasoning.

”Alright, if we do decide to imprint, our two armies should be ten miles apart, each imprinting half. Even if not as complete as the Vast Immortal Sect’s grand array, it’s certainly not too bad.”

Ning Qi touched his nose, volunteering, ”You two may not trust me, but you could test my method with one or two small arrays, couldn’t you?”

Zhao Yujun’s chest heaved, nearly gasping in frustration.

She had said so much, all to prevent Ning Qi from making a mistake, yet Ning Qi persistently insisted on moving forward.

Zhao Yujun knew the gravity; if Ning Qi made a mistake here, she and Gong Tiandao wouldn’t be affected, but the two Ancestors behind them would be different.

The two Ancestors and the Mountain and Sea Realm Will attacked the Vast Realm with the determination to invade the Vast Realm.

Some situations, Zhao Yujun and Gong Tiandao understood completely.

The two Ancestors had explained that if they could attack the Vast Realm, even if it meant sacrificing ninety-five percent of the cultivators within the Mountain and Sea Realm, they wouldn’t hesitate!

This shows the two Ancestors’ thirst for victory, willing to nearly sacrifice ninety-five percent of the Mountain and Sea Realm’s lives to succeed.

As their disciples, though they felt some pity for the lives within the Mountain and Sea Realm, they couldn’t help but execute the orders.

Thus, Zhao Yujun repeatedly discouraged Ning Qi from getting involved.

Gong Tiandao’s eyes again flashed with greater disdain.

In truth, even if Ning Qi intended to imprint arrays, he wouldn’t agree; but since Ning Qi proposed it, he had to see Ning Qi fail once.

This kid’s talent is terrifying, making Gong Tiandao uneasy, especially since it seems the two Ancestors highly value Ning Qi, which further dissatisfied him.

He chuckled and said to Zhao Yujun, ”Sect Leader Zhao, why not let Taoist Friend Ning try? Who knows, he might really succeed! Even if he doesn’t, at least he would know when to retreat, which is also good for him.”

Zhao Yujun stared at Ning Qi’s face.

Ning Qi’s face was clean and handsome, beyond his exceptional appearance, there was more confidence and transcendence.

Seeing Ning Qi’s confidence, she finally agreed.

”Alright then.”

After speaking, the two suddenly leaped back a step.

The two raised fingers like swords, the power of rules within them gathering at the tips.

Swish, swish, swish!

Soon, both had sketched a complex small array on the ground before them.

Ning Qi lowered his head, gazing at the ground array, momentarily seeming dazed.

Seeing Ning Qi’s dazed look, Gong Tiandao’s lips subtly twitched, thinking Ning Qi must be stumped.

”Taoist Friend Ning, is this array too difficult for you? This is merely the shallowest array of our two sects.”
