Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 1022 - 442: Full Moon Immortal Body

When it came to the twisted monsters, many among those present had experienced that battle back in the day.

They thought of those twisted monsters and still couldn’t help but feel a tingling on their scalps and break out in goosebumps, showing an instinctual fear they instilled in living beings.

The terror of the twisted monsters lay not only in their dreadful appearance but in their persistence unto death.

Even if one could kill the encountered twisted monster, upon its death, it would leave behind a mysterious curse, undetectable to others.

Consequently, their group would track along the curse, eventually turning the other party into a twisted creature!

The Saint Ancestor once read about a true story in an ancient book.

It was about a cultivator from a small world who inadvertently killed a weak twisted monster drifting from the Sea of Realms, only to summon a host of twisted monsters for vengeance afterward.

The army of twisted monsters not only killed and transformed the man into one of their own.

Similarly, the world in which the man lived and all the creatures within were devoured and converted by the twisted monsters.

Ning Qi looked at the Saint Ancestor’s avatar and Zhili, not particularly fearful of the twisted monsters, but rather curious about another keyword the two mentioned.

Immediately, a faint wisp of black smoke emerged from his fingertips, and he said to the two:

”You mentioned the Infinite Evil Qi just now, is this what you mean?”

The Saint Ancestor’s avatar gazed at the evil qi in Ning Qi’s hand.

The evil qi was just a tiny wisp, but as soon as it appeared, it seemed to possess a self-conscious will, writhing rapidly at Ning Qi’s fingertips, eager to escape his control.

Its twisting movements were like that of a king cobra, silent, yet the crowd seemed to hear its hiss.

The Saint Ancestor’s avatar nodded and said:

”I didn’t expect you could control this qi. Zhili and I once speculated that this qi might be the Infinite Evil Qi existing in the Sea of Realms, but we were never sure. Would you allow us to observe it under your control?”

They were also very curious about how Ning Qi managed to obliterate the group of twisted monsters with this qi.

Aside from the Infinite Evil Qi, the two couldn’t think of anything else that could target the twisted monsters.

Then Ning Qi restrained this strand of evil qi and sent it towards the Saint Ancestor’s avatar.

The Saint Ancestor’s avatar and Zhili’s eyes shone with brilliant light, each channeling a trace of energy towards the struggling evil qi in the air.

The two strands of golden energy were the same size as the evil qi, their internal energy nearly equal, encapsulating both of their Dao Rules.

The moment the golden light touched the evil qi, the evil qi writhed more joyfully, like a hungry predator sensing the scent of meat.

Ning Qi relaxed his grip on the evil qi slightly.

Hiss! Hiss!

The next second, the evil qi stood upright, lunging forward to attack the two strands of golden light actively.

The two strands of golden light also erupted with dazzling brilliance, as blinding as the midday sun.

But frighteningly, the evil qi instantly devoured the two strands of golden light into its abdomen.

The Saint Ancestor’s avatar and Zhili couldn’t help but step back.

The two exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing astonishment.

The crowd was stunned, wondering why the reaction was so intense from just the energy being consumed?

”This must definitely be the Infinite Evil Qi!” Zhili said.

The Saint Ancestor’s avatar saw everyone wearing expressions of deep curiosity and explained:

”Just now, those two strands of golden light contained both our Dao and power of heart and mind, so its consumption by the evil qi caused us to lose composure like that.”

Upon hearing this, everyone understood.

Cultivators rarely invest power of heart and mind into combat because once it is invested, if unable to defeat the opponent, one would suffer an immediate powerful backlash.

Thus, the Infinite Evil Qi’s consumption of the golden light directed by heart and mind explains the pair’s retreat.

Everyone couldn’t help but turn their gaze toward the Infinite Evil Qi.

The wisp of evil qi continued to writhe in the air like a snake just fed meat, with a nature akin to a serpent, greedy enough to swallow an elephant.

The crowd perceived that after consuming the two strands of golden light, the evil qi instantly doubled in size, completely converting both strands of golden light into its power!

Seeing this, everyone changed in color!

Even the evil arts cultivated by evil cultivators, involving sacrificial soul extraction and such heinous deeds, couldn’t achieve a conversion rate like this.

”What exactly is the Infinite Evil Qi?” Ning Qi asked aloud.

The Saint Ancestor’s avatar snapped back to reality and slowly said:

”Within the Sea of Realms, there lies great fortune and great danger. Amongst this, there exists a particularly bizarre evil qi, referred to as the Infinite Evil Qi by predecessors.”

”This evil qi is innately endowed with terrifying destructive power, capable even of threatening the existence of all worlds within the Sea of Realms.”

”What is meant by infinite?

Firstly, this evil qi can continuously devour various energies on its own to increase and strengthen itself.

Secondly, once it has become a force to be reckoned with, it can never be destroyed!”

Hearing this, everyone was once again shocked in their hearts.

The Saint Ancestor’s avatar looked at Ning Qi, smiling bitterly as he said:

”I am now certain it is the Infinite Evil Qi. No wonder you could use it to annihilate the twisted monsters, but even more curious is how you can suppress it.”

Ning Qi gently tapped his fingers, recalling the evil qi and resealing it before speaking: ”Just a stroke of luck.”

This evil qi was suppressed by a golden key that he unconsciously obtained.

Before, the golden key had reacted when the Golden Immortal Sect appeared, letting Ning Qi know its connection with becoming immortal.

Therefore, regarding the matter of the golden key, he would keep it hidden if possible.

The Saint Ancestor’s avatar, being wise and experienced, naturally detected the hidden meaning in Ning Qi’s words.

He skipped over this topic and added: ”With this evil qi, no matter how many twisted monsters come from the Sea of Realms, we needn’t worry anymore. You could even try using this to deal with the Mountain Ancestor...”
