Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 993 - 427: Brute Force Falls Short of Insight_2

The Divine Sword can only unleash its greatest power in the hands of a swordsman.

Black holes and stars constantly chase Ning Qi, and Ning Qi always manages to teleport and evade them at critical moments, growing increasingly confident and relaxed.

Across from him, the Mountain Ancestor sees Ning Qi’s graceful posture and furrows his brow slightly.

”Do you really think I don’t exist, daring to attain enlightenment right in front of me?”

The Mountain Ancestor shoots another beam of starlight toward Ning Qi’s evasive location.

This time, the starlight is different, as if countless meteors and comets have gathered together, erupting in a blazing white light.

Whoosh!

A shadow of a star flashes through space, disappearing in an instant without a trace.

Ning Qi, trapped in a state of enlightenment, suddenly bursts into an endless divine light.

The 360 apertures around his body form cloud clusters resembling a nebula, spinning continuously.

Every aperture emits a terrifying attraction, vaguely connecting with the Ancient Road Sacred Map above the Mountain Ancestor’s head.

Whoosh!

At this moment, countless silent comets emerge from the space around Ning Qi, attempting to crush him.

The comets are terrifying, blocking out the sky and the sun, moving at extreme speed, hidden beneath dark spaces, assassinating their target stealthily.

But now, the 360 apertures around Ning Qi unleash a dreadful suction force, instantly devouring the approaching comet swarm.

From a distance, Ning Qi’s location is initially obscured by stars, but the next second it is suddenly empty.

Immediately after, the starlight first released by the Mountain Ancestor also arrives in pursuit.

Amidst it are black holes and stars; the apertures around Ning Qi again release Star Power.

Instantly, the starlight tornado is like a fierce dragon heading back to the sea, injected entirely into Ning Qi’s slim body.

The Mountain Ancestor witnesses this scene, his pupils shaking wildly, nearly biting his own tongue.

”Impossible, is he comprehending the Stellar Inheritance? How could it be so fast?”

The Mountain Ancestor is shaken to the core.

Even when he received the Buzhou Mountain’s inheritance, his emotions didn’t fluctuate as they do now.

He knew Ning Qi’s talent was extraordinary, surpassing him and the Sea Ancestor, evident from the unprecedented Celestial Tribulation; that’s one point.

Later, when confronting Ning Qi, Ning Qi could rapidly strengthen in battle with him; that’s another point.

But only now does the Mountain Ancestor truly see, how terrifying Ning Qi’s talent is!

Clearly, it was he who seized the Ancient Road Sacred Map, and it was hovering over his head, but now it feels as if Ning Qi has taken it away!

Even, the strong confidence within him wavers slightly.

”I don’t believe you can comprehend this quickly?”

The Mountain Ancestor’s scar-laden face seems more contorted, unintentionally revealing intense jealousy.

It feels as if something that belonged to him was taken by Ning Qi.

In the next second, he also charges toward Ning Qi.

”Fallen Star Hand!”

The Mountain Ancestor roars angrily.

The entire space shudders, and the light dims simultaneously.

Surrounded in darkness, impossible to see one’s fingers.

Ning Qi immediately feels his spiritual sense lost.

Not only visual deprivation, but spiritual sense, hearing, all completely taken away.

A gap quietly opens in the high expanse of space.

In the dark sky, like Hell opening up, countless dark giant claws hanging down, reaching toward Ning Qi below.

Ning Qi’s mind is crystal clear, emitting endless starlight from his body.

The starlight causes an ancient picture scroll in the darkness to emit star shine.

Both respond to one another, and the starlight within the scroll swiftly flies toward Ning Qi.

The two starlights merge into one!

Rumble!

Numerous shadowy dark giant claws reach for Ning Qi’s location, but the next second, as soon as they touch the starlight on Ning Qi, it’s as if snow meets the sun, darkness meets light.

A thousand-year dark room becomes bright with a single light!

In the darkness, only a startled, angry, and resentful voice is heard.

”This map is in my hands, the inheritance is also mine, why do you, insignificant Ancient Saint, choose to leave me?”

Ning Qi, clad in Yin and Yang robes, draped in endless starlight, illuminates the entire dark space, becoming the only light source therein.

Ning Qi looks toward a corner, seeing the Mountain Ancestor gnashing his teeth, grabbing the Ancient Road Sacred Map above his head with a cursing expression.

The Ancient Saint shadow previously attached to his body unexpectedly separates from the Mountain Ancestor’s body.

The Ancient Saint shadow glances one last time at the Ancient Road Sacred Map in the Mountain Ancestor’s hands, as if sighing heavily.

Then, he steps out, unexpectedly teleporting next to Ning Qi, and without Ning Qi’s permission, directly merges into Ning Qi’s body.

”Boy, you who receive my inheritance must visit the Star City within the Sea of Realms in the future! Otherwise, beneath the heavens, where stars illuminate, you shall be cursed!”

Ning Qi seems to hear a trace of lingering sound.

Then, in his mind, a wealth of information is transmitted, all methods of cultivation from the Master of Stars.

Ning Qi’s body shakes.

In the next second, he furrows his brow.

It seems he easily obtained all the inheritance from an Ancient Saint shadow within the Ancient Road Sacred Map, faster than his last attempt at the Saint Ancestor’s inheritance.

Ning Qi’s thoughts swirl, instantly understanding everything.

It turns out this Ancient Road Sacred Map True Copy, unlike the replica given by the Saint Ancestor previously, doesn’t require self-comprehension but merely establishing a connection with the Ancient Saint shadow within, grants its inheritance.

Ning Qi isn’t entirely sure if this is the case; that Ancient Saint shadow from the stars merged into the Mountain Ancestor’s body, yet suddenly chose him instead.

As for the lingering sound from the starry Ancient Saint just now, Ning Qi entirely ignores it.

”Star City within the Sea of Realms? Beneath the heavens, where stars illuminate, you shall be cursed?”

What nonsense, he currently lacks both the time and mood to deal with that.

In a corner of space.

The Mountain Ancestor still grasps the Ancient Road Sacred Map tightly, his gaze cast toward Ning Qi.

Now, Ning Qi is almost like the starry Ancient Saint shadow, with starlight flowing around him, each light trail seemingly containing endless cosmic mysteries.

Each starlight, upon close inspection, the starlight particles are miniature star reflections, collectively resembling the galaxy.

Ning Qi stands between numerous starry rivers, gazing through the endless starry sky, locking eyes with the Mountain Ancestor.

This phenomenon does not last long, disappearing without a trace shortly after, and Ning Qi remains that Ning Qi from before.

But the Mountain Ancestor dare not underestimate Ning Qi anymore.

Ning Qi has given him tremendous shock, and the Mountain Ancestor further realizes, currently the only thing barring him from becoming immortal is Ning Qi!

Ning Qi must die!

”Continue, can you still summon the saint shadow from the Ancient Road Sacred Map?”

Ning Qi says to the Mountain Ancestor nonchalantly.

He has a calm demeanor, yet his gaze reveals anticipation.

The Mountain Ancestor hears this and nearly spits out blood in fury.

This Ancient Road Sacred Map is indeed an incredibly rare treasure, something anyone would cherish infinitely.

Yet the Mountain Ancestor now wishes he could tear it apart entirely.

He pulls on it forcefully, but unfortunately, it’s unclear what kind of thread is woven into it, even with his Near-Immortal strength, he cannot destroy it!

The Mountain Ancestor glances at the Ancient Road Sacred Map, discovering it is missing one saint shadow.

His face turns ashen as he puts away the Ancient Road Sacred Map, looking at Ning Qi.

”It seems that to kill you, I still have to rely on my own strength!”

The Ancient Road Sacred Map spins in his hands, stored away in his Storage Space.

”Boy, if you want the Ancient Road Sacred Map and to save the Saint Ancestor and Sea Ancestor, come to Buzhou Mountain.”

Unsure of what technique he used, he spits out a beam of black light, tearing apart the space Ning Qi patched with the Seed of Jianmu.

In the next second, the Mountain Ancestor vanishes from the original spot.

Ning Qi’s gaze follows his departing figure, looking toward the direction of Buzhou Mountain’s shadow.

Within Buzhou Mountain’s shadow, two figures of the Mountain Ancestor appear.

One remains suspended at Buzhou’s peak, and one heads into the interior of Buzhou Mountain, advancing toward the Saint Ancestor and Sea Ancestor.

The Mountain Ancestor seemingly abandons the idea of suppressing Ning Qi alone temporarily, choosing to resolve matters with the Saint Ancestor and Sea Ancestor.

As the two Mountain Ancestors return to Buzhou Mountain, the mountain’s shadow expands again, emitting a fearsome and holy aura.

Ning Qi looks at the shadow of Buzhou Mountain, and he also instantly disappears into the space.

Viewed from within the Sea of Realms, this area shows a terrifying Divine Mountain floating within, while the former Mountain and Sea Realm and Vast Realm have vanished.
