Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 480: Chapter 241: The Infinite Flow Main God? Arranging the Mountain and Sea Realm_2

However.

All this is still somewhat distant, one step at a time.

Carefully sensing the mark left in the Black Demon Sect at the time, and finding still no movement, Ning Qi calmed his mind.

”In a few days, I’ll continue to go into seclusion; once those marks are activated, I can start laying out plans in the Mountain and Sea Realm.”

In the days to follow.

The Enlightenment Realm Tree became the hottest topic in the entire True Martial Realm.

Countless beings began to experiment, and in a very short time developed many new applications that could be combined with the path of cultivation, or for some cultivators whose qualifications were truly lacking, merged it with the Hundred Skills of Immortal Cultivation. Many ordinary practitioners applied it to different fields.

In summary.

Various aspects of the True Martial Realm began to develop at an astonishing speed.

And Ning Qi, gathered with his master and many senior and junior brothers, besides guiding them, he observed the operation of the Enlightenment Realm Tree, making some corrections along the way.

Several months passed in this manner.

Once everything was on track, Ning Qi went into seclusion again.

He now had a long lifespan, spending decades in seclusion was quite ordinary; in fact, a Magic Realm cultivator already had a lifespan of three thousand years, and a deep seclusion could easily take decades, let alone Ning Qi, whose longevity was measured in epochs.

The march of time knows no pause.

Since the establishment of the Enlightenment Realm Tree, the True Martial Realm entered a true era of explosive growth.

Magic Realm cultivators sprang up like bamboo shoots after rain, Purple Mansion True Men were no longer rare, and numerous Immortal Doors rose from the ground, each blooming in its own way.

...

Mountain and Sea Realm.

Half mountain, half sea, with hundreds of Immortal Domains, differing in size; those with Immortal Sects stationed are called Great Domains, otherwise known as Small Domains. One such Small Domain is called Beixuan, with its overlord being the Beixuan Upper Sect, a standout among Upper Sects, rumored to have an Integration Realm giant stationed there.

And the Black Demon Sect was precisely situated in this domain.

Even though it’s only a Small Domain, its area is extremely vast, much larger than the current True Martial Realm.

The Black Demon Sect is a relatively famous Demon Sect in the Beixuan Domain, and especially its head, Black Demon True Monarch, had a significant reputation. Many speculated he was about to step into the Void Path Realm, become a Great Power, and hence elevate the Black Demon Sect to an Upper Sect.

But ever since the Black Demon Sect sealed its mountain for decades, some eyes in the Beixuan Domain’s Immortal Cultivation Realm turned towards it.

Reportedly.

The Black Demon Sect was making concerted efforts to conquer a small world, and once succeeded, it would receive the Baptism of the Mountain and Sea Realm’s will.

This made many Immortal Cultivation Sects envious.

Promotion to an Upper Sect is the dream of countless sects, and many coveted eyes seemed to wish to take advantage of this opportunity to cause trouble, but the Black Demon Sect’s defenses were tight, with the Sect Protection Array activated and the mountain gates closed, giving no chance and leaving people sighing with longing.

But recently, many rumors have emerged.

”The Black Demon Sect’s invasion of the small world may have encountered some kind of mishap, as their Sect Protection Array has weakened significantly, with no replenishment of Spiritual Sense!”

”This was personally stated by the Array Path Master, True Monarch Li, who went there himself to observe.”

”Hehe, not just True Monarch Li, but several cultivators left outside Black Demon Sect have said the same. Initially, when Black Demon Sect sealed the mountain, some cultivators out training didn’t make it back in time, so now they’ve defected.”

Numerous similar voices emerged.

Why call it defecting?

It is, of course, in order to have a righteous cause.

The Black Demon Sect is a Demon Sect, most fond of refining Magical Treasures and cultivating Demon Skill with the souls, Spirit Blood, and mortal bodies of cultivators. In the past, when it was strong, no one dared to provoke it, but now with problems, naturally, many eyes filled with desire have turned their gaze.

Many cultivators remember that the rapid rise of the Black Demon Sect happened after it destroyed the Golden Spirit Sect.

Abundant resources are the foundation.

As for being a Demon Sect or not, in the Mountain and Sea Realm, it’s a joke.

In the Mountain and Sea Realm, fists are the truth, and which Immortal Path sect hasn’t slaughtered small worlds, it’s just some sects would sing their own praises to justify their righteousness, saying things like it’s for the promotion of their home realm and the weak lower realms should accept their fate.

Silently.

Under the leadership of the Ten Great Sects including the Red Sun Sect, Thousand Mechanism Sect, and Wind Thunder Hall, the Demon Suppression Alliance was established.

On this day.

In front of Black Demon Mountain.

A million cultivators gathered in the skies.

Led by twenty Primordial Spirit Realm True Monarchs.

Powerful auras suppressed the void, as the True Monarchs exchanged glances and then turned to a trembling cultivator, formerly a True Disciple who left on a training mission from the Black Demon Sect, and currently the strongest they had found.

”Is what you say true?” asked a True Monarch shrouded in purple light, the aura filled with oppression.

The Black Demon Sect disciple swallowed nervously:

”Honorable True Monarchs, I assure you I am not lying; this Black Demon Array now looks intact but is actually on the verge of collapse, it’s a paper tiger. The True Monarchs should try for themselves.”

”Get out of the way!” yelled a Body Refining True Monarch with explosive muscles.

In an instant, his body swelled, becoming a Heaven-Reaching giant, and with a flash, a giant axe appeared in his hands. Without hesitation, he swung the axe with overwhelming force.

Bang!

A resounding crash echoed through the void.

The originally dense obsidian black magic cloud quivered violently, instantly breaking up into streams, slithering around like water.

Numerous Primordial Spirit Realm True Monarchs are no easy opponents.

Upon seeing the situation, they immediately realized that the Black Demon Sect’s Sect Protection Array was indeed a paper tiger. Moreover, with such an attack, and no one from Black Demon Sect coming out to intervene, something significant must have occurred.

The True Monarchs unleashed their methods.

Manifesting their Primordial Spirit Dharma Aspects or summoning powerful Magical Treasures, waves of terrifying attacks rained down on the great array.

Within mere breaths.

The once seemingly formidable Black Demon Array was fragmented.

The sound of cracking echoed constantly, and eventually, with a bang, it shattered completely.

”Kill!!”

”Exterminate demons and protect the path! Destroy the Black Demon Sect and avenge countless wronged cultivators!”

The air was filled with shouts and killing cries, the momentum of a million cultivators was unstoppable as they readied for battle.

The rolling demon cloud retreated.

All the cultivators were stunned by what they saw, a sight of ruins and rubble, and it was deadly silent, like a Death Realm. Not even a single Black Demon Sect cultivator or any ordinary being was found, only the pungent smell of blood permeating the air.

”What... happened?”

Everyone was shaken, somewhat horrified.

This appeared as though a once-flourishing Immortal Path sect had been wiped out in an instant, chilling them to the bone.

All eyes turned to the Black Demon Sect True Disciple, but even he was terrified and couldn’t believe his eyes. It was just a matter of going out for training, and the next time he returned, it had turned into such devastation.

”Could it be that the Black Demon Sect offended some Great Power or Giant and was silently erased?” speculated a True Monarch.

An elderly man with white beard observed with furrowed brows, after a while, this True Monarch Li said solemnly:

”This seems like... a blood sacrifice!”

”The Black Demon Sect conducted a blood sacrifice! Weren’t they previously attacking a small world, could it be related to this?”

He was skilled in the Array Path and gradually saw something unusual.

Although there were traces of struggle everywhere, it was evident that the center was the Black Demon Cliff, where there was no sign of any conflict, which indicated that the Black Demon Sect might not have been forced by external powers; instead, it might have been a voluntary decision by the Black Demon True Monarch.

While they were speculating.

Waves of battle came from a distance, followed by angry shouts:

”Get lost! This True Monarch found it first!”

Eyes turned towards the commotion to see two True Monarchs striking out in anger, and below, streams of dazzling light soared into the sky.

Supreme Treasure, Spirit Medicine, Divine Techniques... everything was available.

The treasure vault of the Black Demon Sect... intact!

In an instant.

All the cultivators’ eyes turned greedy.

A strong sect nearing Upper Sect level with all its foundation intact, without any obstructions, what would be the outcome?

Without the external threat of the Black Demon Sect, how could this hastily formed Demon Suppression Alliance possibly be united?

Many Primordial Spirit Realm True Monarchs answered with their actions.

Bang!!

An earth-shattering battle erupted.

...

True Martial Realm.

Ning Qi opened his eyes in the void, his gaze deep, filled with anticipation and joy.

”The Black Demon Sect’s array... has finally been opened!”
