Chapter 242: Infinite Flow Main God? Plotting In The Mountains And Seas Realm
Above the High Heavens.
Ning Qi overlooked the world.
At this moment, the entire True Martial Realm had already fallen into boiling fervor, with billions of beings beginning to communicate with the Enlightenment Realm Tree. They marveled in shock at the wonders within, constantly sighing over the World Lord’s greatness.
In a short moment.
Ning Qi had already sensed countless ideas and ingenious ideas converging, which after screening by the Enlightenment Realm Tree’s will, took their essence and transformed it into provisions.
That was the wisdom of all beings, which could greatly enhance his foundation.
Every moment, there was tremendous growth.
Beyond the Sea of Realms, spiritual energy surged like tides, purified and sorted before integrating into the True Martial Realm. In the future, every day the True Martial Realm would have new heavens and earth appear, until the limit.
It could be said.
The True Martial Realm’s potential had already undergone metamorphosis. Apart from its upper limit still not matching the Spirit Realm, cultivators below the Nascent Soul Realm even surpassed a Spirit Realm!
This was absolutely not Ning Qi being arrogant.
The amplification brought by the Enlightenment Realm Tree was simply too great.
Cultivation difficulty was greatly reduced, and breakthroughs came with divine assistance.
However.
The amplification each person received was not the same, but depended on their compatibility with the Enlightenment Realm Tree. The higher the compatibility, the greater the amplification received.
It could be foreseen.
Perhaps a hundred years later, the True Martial Realm’s landscape would undergo tremendous change.
Now the Eight Great Immortal Sects hung high above, but under the Enlightenment Realm Tree’s influence, there would inevitably be peerless prodigies rising suddenly, even overtaking the predecessors.
Ning Qi sensed carefully and had already discovered quite a few prodigy figures.
“Perhaps… in the future, a value system can be formed, allowing the True Martial Realm’s beings to exchange for compatibility with the Enlightenment Realm Tree, or even various ingenious ideas, profound arts, supernatural powers, and breakthrough insights.”
In an instant, many ideas surged in his mind.
If wisdom could be shared, it was hard to imagine what brilliant radiance the True Martial Realm would burst forth.
As the creator of the Enlightenment Realm Tree, Ning Qi naturally had this ability. He could decide who received greater amplification, which was like the administrator cheating. For example, at this moment on True Profound Mountain, White Mountain Old Daoist would smile knowingly, and the many senior brothers of the True Martial Immortal Sect were the same.
But for others, a strict system was needed to operate it.
“The merit system might be a good idea, but currently within the True Martial Realm, there’s not much way to acquire merit, at most helping the True Martial Realm absorb essence Realm Sea spiritual energy. The real channels to gain merit should be external.”
Ning Qi’s gaze flashed.
This was also what he would do next.
The True Martial Realm’s foundation was established, and World Lord perfection was just a matter of time. Then he needed to further plan for rule origin matters.
Only with sufficient rule origin could Ning Qi step into the Second Realm’s Rule Realm; otherwise, he would remain stuck at the bottleneck.
“The Mountain Sea Realm is a good choice.”
“According to Black Demon True Lord, the Mountain Sea Realm has already incorporated several Spirit Realm origins, including the former True Martial Realm. It likely will advance further, and perhaps one day it will truly sacrifice all subordinate small worlds as he said to complete the leap.”
“Since that’s the case, we can’t just sit and wait for death.”
“Instead of slowly seizing rule origin in the Sea of Realms over tens of thousands of years, better to go to the Mountain Sea Realm and see if there’s a chance to obtain ready-made ones.”
During the twenty years of closed-door cultivation, this was also a major issue he had been pondering.
The future path could not stop.
And he already had ideas.
“To go to the Mountain Sea Realm undetected requires a native mark of the Mountain Sea Realm. No need to worry about this; previously, nearly a hundred thousand Black Demon Sect cultivators invaded and fell here, their marks all stripped by me. For now, that’s enough.”
“With this, True Martial Realm beings can infiltrate the Mountain Sea Realm undetected, acquiring all useful resources for me, such as various supreme treasures containing rule origin. In exchange, they get merit, which they can use to redeem what they need.”
Of course.
Reincarnation to the Mountain Sea Realm was not that simple; it required special methods. Ning Qi had spent considerable time solving the difficulties.
Before this closed-door cultivation, Ning Qi had already exchanged reincarnation methods with many ancient saints, deriving them during that time, finally creating a method for True Martial Realm beings to reincarnate to the Mountain Sea Realm. It just lacked the final step: after activating the many marks Ning Qi had left in the Black Demon Sect, they could resonate remotely to complete it.
“Twenty years have passed; the Black Demon Sect’s sect protecting grand formation’s energy reserves should be nearly depleted.”
“At that time, I myself can reincarnate an incarnation to the Mountain Sea Realm to set up layout. Given time, there will surely be gains. After all, even reincarnated True Martial Realm beings can borrow the Enlightenment Realm Tree’s power, growing extremely fast. In a sense, they are traversers each carrying a ‘small golden finger’.”
Ning Qi’s gaze was somewhat peculiar.
“By this calculation, my current role is somewhat similar to the main god in certain infinite flow novels from my previous life.”
“The only limitation is that for now, we can only go to the Mountain Sea Realm, but that’s not a big issue. When my abilities grow stronger in the future, the billions of Spirit Realms and infinite small worlds in the Sea of Realms can all become targets for True Martial Realm beings.”
“At that time, countless True Martial Realm beings collecting resources and seizing origins for me across myriad realms—then the Great Dao is within reach!”
Ning Qi’s lips curved into a smile.
His thoughts and concerns were interlinked; the Enlightenment Realm Tree was merely the first link.
The subsequent layout in the Mountain Sea Realm was the next step.
The ultimate goal was to lay hands on the myriad realms.
However.
All this was still somewhat distant; one must eat rice one bite at a time.
Sensing the marks left in the Black Demon Sect at that time carefully and finding no movement, Ning Qi settled his mind.
“In some time, continue closed-door cultivation. Once those marks are activated, we can proceed with the Mountain Sea Realm layout.”
In the following days.
The Enlightenment Realm Tree became the hottest topic in the entire True Martial Realm.
Countless beings began attempting it and in an extremely short time developed many new applications, which could combine with the path of cultivation. Or for cultivators with truly unsatisfactory aptitude, they combined it with the hundred arts of cultivation. There were also countless ordinary practitioners applying it to other fields.
In short.
All aspects of the True Martial Realm began developing at an astonishing speed.
Meanwhile, Ning Qi gathered with his master and many senior brothers. During this time, besides guiding them, he observed the Enlightenment Realm Tree’s operation and corrected some parts.
After several months like this.
Once everything entered the right track, Ning Qi began closed-door cultivation again.
His lifespan was now extremely long; a closed-door cultivation lasting decades was perfectly normal. In fact, Mana Realm cultivators already had a lifespan of three thousand years; a deep closed-door cultivation could easily take decades, let alone Ning Qi’s lifespan measured in epochs.
Time flowed on.
After establishing the Enlightenment Realm Tree, the True Martial Realm entered a true big bang period.
Mana Realm cultivators sprang up like mushrooms after rain, Purple Mansion Realm true persons were no longer rare, and immortal sects rose from the ground, blooming in a hundred flowers.
…
Mountain Sea Realm.
Half mountains half seas, hundreds of Immortal Domains large and small. Those with immortal sects presiding were called great domains; otherwise, small domains. One small domain was named Northern Xuan, whose overlord was the Northern Profound Upper Sect, an outstanding upper sect. Rumor had it that a Body Integration Realm giant presided there.
And the Black Demon Sect was located in this domain.
Even as a small domain, the territory was extremely vast, much larger than the current True Martial Realm.
The Black Demon Sect was a relatively famous demon sect in the Northern Xuan Region, especially its helm Black Demon True Lord, who had considerable renown. Many speculated he would step into the Void Dao Realm, becoming a great power and thereby promoting the Black Demon Sect to upper sect.
But since the Black Demon Sect sealed the mountain decades ago, part of the Northern Xuan Region’s cultivation world had turned their gaze there.
It was said.
The Black Demon Sect was fully attacking a small world, and upon success would receive baptism from the Mountain Sea Realm Will.
This made many cultivation sects envious.
Promotion to upper sect was the dream of countless sects. Originally, many covetous gazes wanted to stir trouble at this opportunity, but the Black Demon Sect’s defenses were tight. With the sect protecting grand formation up and mountain gate sealed, no opportunities were given, leaving people to sigh in vain.
But recently, many rumors had risen.
“The Black Demon Sect’s invasion of the small world likely encountered some mishap; its sect protecting grand formation has weakened greatly, with no one replenishing spiritual sense!”
“This was personally stated by Formation Way grandmaster True Lord Li; he came here himself to see.”
“Heh heh, not just True Lord Li; several Black Demon Sect cultivators outside have said the same. When the Black Demon Sect sealed the mountain, some out on experience didn’t make it back in time and have now abandoned darkness for light.”
Countless similar voices appeared.
Why call it abandoning darkness for light?
Naturally, to have a righteous cause.
The Black Demon Sect was a demon sect, most fond of using cultivators’ souls, spiritual blood, fleshly bodies, and such materials to refine magic treasures and cultivate demonic arts. When strong in the past, naturally no one dared touch that jinx, but now with problems arisen, covetous gazes naturally locked on.
Many cultivators remembered that the Black Demon Sect had risen rapidly after exterminating the Golden Spirit Sect.
Abundant resources were the root.
As for demon sect or not, that was a joke in the Mountain Sea Realm.
In the Mountain Sea Realm, fist was truth. Which immortal path sect hadn’t slaughtered small worlds? Big brother wouldn’t laugh at second brother; some sects just self-consolated to show their justice, like everything for the mother realm’s promotion, weak lower realms should accept their fate, and so on.
Silently.
Under the lead of top ten sects like Chiyang Sect, Thousand Mechanisms Gate, Wind Thunder Hall, and others, the Demon Slaying Alliance was formed.
This day.
Before Black Demon Mountain.
A million cultivators appeared in the sky, gathering here.
Twenty Nascent Soul Realm true monarchs led them.
Powerful auras suppressed the void. The true monarchs exchanged glances, then fell on a trembling cultivator—this was a true disciple of the Black Demon Sect who had been out on experience, and currently the strongest one found.
“What you said is true?” A true monarch shrouded entirely in purple light asked, his aura full of sense of oppression.
The Black Demon Sect disciple swallowed saliva:
“Esteemed true monarchs, this one speaks not a word of falsehood. The Black Demon grand formation now looks intact, but is actually on the verge of collapse—a paper tiger. Esteemed true monarchs, why not try?”
“Get lost!” A body refining true monarch with exploding muscles roared.
In an instant, his body swelled, turning into a giant reaching the heavens. With a flash of flowing light in his hand, a giant axe appeared. Without hesitation, the giant axe brought heaven-shaking aura smashing down in fury.
Boom!
Earth-shattering sound reverberated through the void.
The originally condensed substantial black demonic clouds suffered great shock, instantly turning into flowing water constantly swirling.
How could the many Nascent Soul Realm true monarchs be easy opponents.
Seeing this situation, they immediately knew the Black Demon Sect’s sect protecting grand formation was indeed a paper tiger. Moreover, with such an attack, no one from the Black Demon Sect came to stop it, meaning a great mishap had occurred.
The true monarchs unleashed their means.
Some manifested nascent soul dharma idols, others sacrificed powerful magic treasures. One after another terrifying attacks bombarded the grand formation.
In mere breaths.
The originally seeming powerfully defensive Black Demon grand formation shattered into pieces.
Crack crack sounds rang incessantly, finally bursting with a bang, thoroughly shattering.
“Kill!!”
“Exterminate demons and guard the dao! Destroy Black Demon Sect, seek justice for countless wrongly dead cultivators!”
The sky was filled with roaring battle cries; the million cultivators’ aura was rainbow-like, already prepared for battle.
The rolling demonic clouds dispersed.
All cultivators were stunned in place. What entered their eyes were ruins and broken walls, deathly silent like a dead domain. Not to mention a single Black Demon Sect cultivator—even an ordinary being couldn’t be found, and a pungent bloody smell filled the air.
“This is… what happened?”
All hearts shook, somewhat horrified.
It looked like a flourishing immortal path sect had been wiped out in an instant, sending chills down spines.
Gazes turned to that Black Demon Sect true disciple, but at this moment he had also scared himself into wetting his pants. He couldn’t believe his eyes—just one trip out on experience, and returning to the sect, it had become this devastated sight.
“Could it be that the Black Demon Sect offended some great power or magnate and was silently wiped out?” A true monarch guessed.
A white-bearded elder frowned in scrutiny. Moments later, this True Lord Li said gravely:
“This seems a bit like… blood sacrifice!”
“The Black Demon Sect held a blood sacrifice! Wasn’t he previously attacking a small world? Could it be related?”
He was skilled in formation way and gradually saw the unusual.
Though struggle marks were everywhere, it was clear the center was at Black Demon Cliff, where there was no fighting at all. This meant the Black Demon Sect’s encounter was not forced by external power, but possibly chosen by that Black Demon True Lord himself.
While speculating.
Battle fluctuations came from afar, followed by angry shouts:
“Scram! This true lord found it first!”
Gazes looked over, seeing two true monarchs angrily striking, and below, brilliant lights soaring to the sky one after another.
Supreme treasures, spiritual medicines, supernatural powers… all present.
The Black Demon Sect’s treasury… intact!
In an instant.
All cultivators’ gazes turned greedy.
The entire foundation of a sect extremely close to upper sect was here, and without obstruction—what would be the consequence?
Without the Black Demon Sect as common enemy, how could this hastily assembled Demon Slaying Alliance stay united.
The many Nascent Soul Realm true monarchs used actions to illustrate the answer.
Boom!!
Earth-shattering great battle instantly erupted.
…
True Martial Realm.
Ning Qi opened his eyes in the void, his gaze deep, filled with anticipation and joy.
“The Black Demon Sect grand formation… finally opened!”
