Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 431: Chapter 222: World Will_2

”It seems that Taoist Friend Tianjian isn’t very welcoming to me, and perhaps has some misunderstanding.”

Ning Qi shook his head and said:

”Divine Nun, you misunderstand. I just happened to encounter a challenge in my cultivation that I’m about to resolve, and don’t wish to be interrupted.”

The South Sea Divine Nun showed a look of admiration:

”I see, no wonder your strength is so astonishing. I truly admire your dedication to the Dao from the depths of my heart, feeling inferior myself.”

She paused and continued:

”Then I shall be brief. I’ve come today to remind you of something; the Black Blood Demon Monarch may have already secretly allied with the Mountain and Sea Realm!”

Although her voice was low, what she said was earth-shattering.

Ning Qi’s eyes narrowed.

”What do you mean by this, Divine Nun? Although I’ve had conflicts with the Black Blood Demon Monarch, with the external threats present, I don’t wish to falsely accuse anyone.”

The South Sea Divine Nun sighed:

”You may not know, but that wretch of a Black Blood Demon Monarch was a notorious villain in the ancient era. He wantonly slaughtered mortals, using their souls and blood to forge the Black Blood Demon Banner. If it weren’t for the Martial Realm needing people at that time, I’m afraid everyone would have joined forces to suppress him!”

”During the great decisive battle that followed, he almost escaped the battlefield. Although he valiantly killed many from the Mountain and Sea Realm after the manifestation of world will, his previous actions linger like a thorn in our hearts.”

”Today, during his battle with you, I observed from the shadows. The Black Blood Demon Monarch seemed to be beaten quite miserably by you, but he wasn’t going all out, seemingly hiding something.”

”Now that the invasion of the Mountain and Sea Realm is imminent, we must unite and prevent the destruction of our home. However, others may not think the same. Some selfish individuals might already be seeking to offer the Martial Realm in exchange for a chance of survival!”

Her words carried a tone of earnest sincerity.

Ning Qi’s heart was moved.

Indeed, there was one thing the South Sea Divine Nun was not wrong about.

During the battle in broad daylight, although Ning Qi had certainly not used his full strength, he also sensed that the Black Blood Demon Monarch had held back.

Ning Qi gazed at the South Sea Divine Nun, a faint golden light flickered in his eyes, but the South Sea Divine Nun appeared to be open and unguarded.

”Today’s matter is something you should keep to yourself, Taoist Friend. Be cautious, and it would be best not to mention it to others. Frankly, I don’t even know whom to trust within the Martial Realm anymore.”

She sighed softly and then departed.

But within her eyes there was a trace of melancholy and despair.

Ning Qi watched her back calmly.

”Interesting.”

He chuckled.

He truly couldn’t judge the truth in the South Sea Divine Nun’s words.

However.

There was one thing the South Sea Divine Nun did not know; his relationship with the old Profound Turtle was anything but ordinary, and they could completely trust each other. With a thought, Ning Qi summoned the old Profound Turtle through the True Martial Hall’s seal.

”Hall Master, what are your orders?” Ever since Ning Qi became the master of the True Martial Hall, the old Profound Turtle had always been very respectful, even insisting that Ning Qi not call him senior. Despite having told Ning Qi it wasn’t necessary, the old Profound Turtle persisted, and over time Ning Qi let it be.

Ning Qi also learned the old Profound Turtle’s name.

Gui Changqing.

”Changqing, what do you think of the South Sea Divine Nun?” he asked, and then relayed the sudden visit from the South Sea Divine Nun in detail.

Gui Changqing furrowed his brow:

”She speaks the truth. The Black Blood Demon Monarch is indeed arrogant and does wicked deeds. If it weren’t for these special times, he would have been attacked together long ago, but whether he has joined the Mountain and Sea Realm cannot be determined.”

”As for the South Sea Divine Nun, she has a good reputation. Although she lives in seclusion overseas, whenever she appears in the world, she always does good deeds, showing compassion. It makes sense for her to warn the Hall Master.”

”However...it all seems a bit odd somehow.”

Ning Qi nodded slowly:

”It seems that this awakening of the world will not be so simple.”

”Very well, Changqing, I want you to pay more attention to the South Sea Divine Nun. As for me, I’ll keep a close watch on the Black Blood Demon Monarch to prevent them from causing any disturbances. It’s best to eliminate all inside traitors this time.”

”Yes, Hall Master!”

They discussed further details.

Ultimately, they decided that being cautious cannot be overstressed.

...

Time passed slowly.

Apart from the South Sea Divine Nun’s initial visit, no one else came by over the following days except for acquaintances like Taoist Baishan, leaving Ning Qi with some peace and quiet.

His efforts in progressing through the Realm Lord Realm went exceedingly well.

Unfortunately.

The final step remained elusive.

And today.

Is the day everyone sets out for High Heaven.

Ning Qi could distinctly sense that the world seemed to have undergone a subtle transformation, as if what used to be somewhat lifeless was now more vibrant.

The saints gathered once again in the void above Heavenly Peak Mountain.

The Heaven-Slaying Martial Saint appeared slightly excited:

”Ladies and gentlemen, the world will has already begun to awaken. Today is the best time for us to awaken the world will!”

All the saints were extremely excited.

Especially the new saints, who were full of aspirations. They had never seen the world will before, but from the ancient saints, they had learned something about its immense power.

”Let’s go!”

With those words.

The Heaven-Slaying Martial Saint took the lead, soaring into the void.

Several absolute strong persons followed closely.

The saints collectively unleashed their spiritual power, ascending towards the heavens.

The scene was spectacular, with the spiritual power of a hundred saints shining in multicolored brilliance, with no attempt to conceal their presence, creating what looked like a vibrant rainbow bridge of spiritual energy stretching above Heavenly Peak Mountain.

Continuously ascending.

Soon they reached the Thunderous Forbidden Zone. For some, it was their first time witnessing such a sight, and they couldn’t help but be awestruck; they had not expected the world to contain such a formidable forbidden zone.
