Chapter 300: Return To Peak Prosperity
Ning Qi stood in the void, slightly raising his hand, pointing at the entire Boundless Sword Sect which had shrunk in size, and said in a deep voice, “Descend!”
The vast Boundless Sword Sect immediately began to descend.
The original territory below had already been leveled by the congregation, so the territory of the Boundless Sword Sect could perfectly land on it.
Rumble!
Amidst the grand sound of landing, the territory of the Boundless Sword Sect finally touched down.
It had now completely become an artifact that had been refined, and in the blink of an eye, it merged with the territory below.
At the same time, under Ning Qi’s control, the territory of the Boundless Sword Sect was enlarged to three times its original size, making it appear somewhat empty.
But the great formation on it glowed, desperately absorbing the spiritual energy and rules of this place.
This place was the center of the Xuanzhen Domain’s anomaly; the spiritual energy was vast, almost tangible.
Under the great change in heaven and earth, rules were born, possessing the power of creation, and were slowly filling the emptiness of the enlarged Boundless Sword Sect.
The mountains, the waters, the plains, and the hills were all replenished at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The congregation followed along, having witnessed the power of the Boundless Sword Sect’s great formation; its speed in absorbing spiritual energy and rules was extremely terrifying.
However, at the center of this heaven and earth anomaly, the spiritual energy and rules seemed to be inexhaustible and were not completely depleted by absorption.
Therefore, with the supply of countless spiritual energy, the Boundless Sword Sect became increasingly impregnable.
The congregation looked at the Boundless Sword Sect as it was now, and after comparison, they found that even all the sects in the Xuanzhen Domain combined could not compare to it.
Whether it was the location of the sect, the size of the sect, or the formation of the sect.
Before long, the great formation of the Boundless Sword Sect finally stopped, like a person who had eaten their fill.
The glowing formation gradually dimmed, and except for some special areas, other places were clearly visible to the congregation.
Pavilions and towers, immortal mountains and spirit springs; every part possessed Dao Rhyme.
Everyone from the Boundless Sword Sect looked at their sect with joy.
Since the succession of the Sect Leader, they had led them from an ordinary Upper Sect to here, becoming the Lord of the Xuanzhen Domain. Where they would be led in the future, they did not know, but everyone knew that this was not the limit of the Boundless Sword Sect.
They looked at Ning Qi, not a single person spoke, but everyone was waiting for Ning Qi to speak.
Ning Qi swept his gaze over the congregation and said with a smile, “What are you all still standing around for? Enter the sect.”
“Sect Leader, please go first!”
Ning Qi nodded, he glanced at the people from other sects and said, “You all come in too, I have something to assign to you.”
Upon hearing this, the congregation immediately responded, “Yes, Alliance Leader!”
After helping the Boundless Sword Sect with the relocation earlier, these people had also benefited greatly, and Ning Qi’s position as Alliance Leader had become deeply ingrained in their hearts.
Even if Ning Qi didn’t want to be the Alliance Leader now, they would force him to be.
Ning Qi flew towards the new central plaza of the Boundless Sword Sect and landed on the main seat.
The congregation followed and took their seats together.
Niu Ding Tian was the first to cup his fists and ask, “Alliance Leader, we will never forget the creation this time. Do you have any further instructions? We will do our utmost to achieve them.”
Ning Qi looked up at the sky, watching the spiritual energy wash over the high heavens, instantly causing clouds to gather and disperse.
He said, “As you all know, the changes in the Xuanzhen Domain have only just begun. If we were to truly recover to its peak period, how long do you think it would take?”
Niu Ding Tian hesitated slightly.
Luo Feiyu, the Sect Leader of Luo Tian Upper Sect, said from the side, “Reporting to the Alliance Leader, my Luo Tian Upper Sect is skilled at observing the trends of heaven and earth. I predict that the changes in the Xuanzhen Domain will continue for another century before it can truly recover to its past peak period.”
“A century?” Many people exclaimed in astonishment.
They looked at each other, a sense of anxiety on their faces.
The reappearance of the Xuanzhen Domain was a good thing, and all the sects in the Xuanzhen Domain would benefit from it.
However, with the Spirit Realm War potentially erupting at any moment, they truly could not afford to wait a hundred years.
Now that Ning Qi had unified all the forces of the Xuanzhen Domain and established the Xuanzhen Alliance, it provided an additional layer of security for all the sects.
Previously, by helping the sects relocate and also increasing everyone’s cultivation, it undoubtedly increased the survival rate of the congregation in the Spirit Realm War.
If the Xuanzhen Domain could recover to its peak before the Spirit Realm War began, they would have even more confidence in the Spirit Realm War!
The congregation thought about it again and again, but they didn’t know what to do.
Among them were also shrewd individuals who suddenly realized why Ning Qi had asked this question; Ning Qi must have a solution.
Thus, Xia Xing, the Sect Leader of Heavenly Star Upper Sect, stood up and said, “Alliance Leader, do you have a way to make the Xuanzhen Domain undergo metamorphosis early?”
As soon as he spoke, he naturally reminded the congregation present.
Everyone turned their gaze to Ning Qi, their eyes filled with anticipation.
Ning Qi showed Xia Xing a look of appreciation. As expected, people from the True Martial Realm understood him best.
Then, Ning Qi said, “For the past two years, I have been planning three matters, all in preparation for the Spirit Realm War.”
“Firstly, since you all respect me as the Lord of the Xuanzhen Domain, I plan to establish the Xuanzhen Alliance, to unite all forces as much as possible, so that we can increase the survival rate of all cultivators in the Xuanzhen Domain during the Spirit Realm War.”
“Secondly, it was to relocate the Boundless Sword Sect and invite you all to participate. Firstly, to see if you sincerely regard me as the Domain Lord and Alliance Leader, and secondly, to incidentally improve your strength.”
He smiled and looked at the Sect Leaders of several sects present, saying, “Some of you are very adept at seizing opportunities, allowing your entire sect to come and help us relocate, something I didn’t even expect at the beginning.”
Those Sect Leaders couldn’t help but grin.
They had indeed seized the opportunity, allowing everyone in their sect to improve their cultivation by a large margin.
However, they also knew that this was an opportunity completely bestowed upon them by Ning Qi.
So they said in unison, “This is all the opportunity given by you, Alliance Leader, and we will follow you to the death.”
“Those who can seize opportunities and are loyal, I will always give them opportunities,” Ning Qi replied indifferently.
Hearing this, the congregation understood in their hearts that the Alliance Leader was subtly reminding them that they must be loyal to him, otherwise, he might take back the opportunities given to them.
Ning Qi continued, “The third matter is to make the Xuanzhen Domain recover to its peak period in advance.”
The congregation was stunned for a moment.
As expected, everything was within the Alliance Leader’s plans.
The Alliance Leader planned three matters; the first two had been fully realized, and this third one would definitely succeed.
The congregation’s spirits soared, and they all pricked up their ears, appearing like obedient students seriously listening.
“For the past two years, I have been deducing the Qi of the Spirit Realm, and have been venturing out from time to time, finding numerous spiritual energy nodes, thereby comprehending a Void Spirit Vein Completion Technique, which can restore the Xuanzhen Domain to its peak a hundred years in advance.”
The eyes of the congregation lit up.
The Alliance Leader kept them to discuss this matter and also mentioned the newly comprehended Void Spirit Vein Completion Technique, and the congregation already had a guess in their hearts.
Niu Ding Tian stepped forward again and asked, “May I ask the Alliance Leader, do we need to work together to perform this Spirit Vein Art of the Void?”
Ning Qi said, “Precisely!”
Generally speaking, for such matters that require one to expend their own strength to benefit others, most people would refuse.
But after the matter of relocating sects and improving cultivation earlier, everyone was eager to be the first to step forward, determined to put in their utmost effort.
“Alliance Leader, my Luo Tian Upper Sect specializes in the changes of heaven and earth, and is a perfect match for the Void Spirit Vein Completion Technique you created. We are willing to undertake this task!”
“Alliance Leader, my Heavenly Star Upper Sect can draw upon the power of the stars, and can also undertake this task!”
“Alliance Leader, my Qing Xia Upper Sect…”
One sect after another spoke up. Niu Ding Tian was so anxious he was scratching his head and ears. Their Ox Demon Upper Sect was not skilled in this area, so what should they do?
Ning Qi raised his hand and pressed down, and the congregation immediately fell silent.
The entire plaza was silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop, showing Ning Qi’s current status in the hearts of the congregation.
“You don’t need to rush, don’t forget that we are now a whole, and all sects have a part.”
The congregation rejoiced once more.
Ning Qi also said, “Your sects are distributed throughout the Xuanzhen Domain. If you want the Xuanzhen Domain to recover as soon as possible, you all need to participate.”
“I am now bestowing upon you the Void Spirit Vein Completion Technique. After you return to your sects, you only need to replenish the spirit veins in your respective territories and nearby areas without any sects, and the Xuanzhen Domain will recover very quickly.”
He immediately imparted the Dharma to the congregation.
After all their Nascent Souls received it, the congregation was once again astonished.
This technique, like the Ghost Axe Mountain Moving Art before it, contained various Great Daos and was a profound spell.
However, anything produced by Ning Qi was a fine product, and any part of it was written in an extremely simple and easy-to-understand manner.
As long as the congregation followed the instructions, there would be no mistakes.
To incentivize the congregation to work diligently, Ning Qi said:
“This technique is similar to the Ghost Axe Mountain Moving Art. You can also gain improvements while replenishing the spirit veins.”
Hearing this, the hearts of the congregation became extremely fervent once more, wishing they could return to their sects immediately.
But the Alliance Leader had not finished speaking, and they saw Ning Qi point in a direction outside the sect.
“I will send people there to build the headquarters of the Xuanzhen Alliance. From now on, you can send one representative from your sect to station there.”
“Yes!”
“If there is nothing else for you, you should return to your sects as soon as possible to replenish the Void Spirit Veins and allow the Xuanzhen Domain to recover to its peak period at an early date.”
The congregation bowed and withdrew.
However, before bidding farewell to the Alliance Leader, they each took out many valuable items and placed them on the plaza as gifts for the relocation of the Boundless Sword Sect.
In the blink of an eye, various spiritual items were piled up like mountains on the plaza of the Boundless Sword Sect.
The people of the Boundless Sword Sect saw this and felt proud again.
Their Sect Leader, without any effort, was able to get all the sects to produce so many resources.
Next, the people from the Ox Demon Upper Sect and the Heavenly Star Upper Sect were the most swift in their actions.
Led by the disciples of the Boundless Sword Sect, they directly took the Teleportation Array within the Boundless Sword Sect and quickly returned to their sects, beginning to replenish the Void Spirit Veins within their sect’s territories.
Seeing this, the figures of other sects that were about to fly out of the Boundless Sword Sect immediately stopped.
The Sect Leaders of the various sects looked at each other.
They had indeed investigated the situations in the Ox Demon Upper Sect and the Heavenly Star Upper Sect over the past two years. Alliance Leader Ning Qi had established Teleportation Arrays in their sects.
The two sects could use Ning Qi’s tokens to send a few people to the Boundless Sword Sect at any time.
However, in contrast, Ning Qi could use the Teleportation Arrays he had set up to teleport back as many people as he wanted.
In other words, the Ox Demon Upper Sect and the Heavenly Star Upper Sect had completely submitted to Ning Qi, trusted Ning Qi, and followed the lead of the Boundless Sword Sect.
When the congregation first heard this news, they were still lamenting that after tens of thousands of years, the two sects had abandoned their independence, which was a disgrace to both the northern and southern domains.
And now, seeing that the surrounding sects had also stopped, and all of them were staring at the figures of the Ox Demon and Heavenly Star sects leaving the Boundless Sword Sect via the Teleportation Array, the Sect Leaders also felt a surge of impulse.
In the Luo Tian Upper Sect’s group.
Zhuang Chen, also known as Luo Feiwo, telepathically communicated with his father, Sect Leader Luo Feiyu, saying, “Old man, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and get the first spot, and you can leave a good impression on the Alliance Leader!”
Luo Feiyu glanced at his son with dissatisfaction. This brat was so disrespectful, which made him extremely helpless.
But he still had to listen to him!
He quickly scanned the congregation and flew back to the plaza first, bowing to Ning Qi and saying, “Alliance Leader, may I ask if you could also establish a Teleportation Array in my Luo Tian Upper Sect?”
Ning Qi sat high on the main seat, his pháp nhãn lowered, looking at Luo Feiyu.
“Sect Leader Luo, let’s be clear from the start, establishing a Teleportation Array means being under the control of my Boundless Sword Sect. Have you really considered it?”
Luo Feiyu said in a deep voice:
“I am already very familiar with the deeds of the Alliance Leader. The Alliance Leader has always acted righteously, and even when fighting with others or engaging in battles with other sects, it has mostly been for self-preservation, with righteousness defeating evil.”
“Although my Luo Tian Upper Sect has had little interaction with the Boundless Sword Sect, we have now received your immense kindness. Such great kindness is beyond repayment. Even if we return to our sect to replenish the Void Spirit Veins, it is still receiving your grace.”
“Therefore, I believe in the Alliance Leader and am willing to establish a Teleportation Array in my sect. I just don’t know if the Alliance Leader would deign to visit?”
Ning Qi glanced at Zhuang Chen, who was following behind him.
Zhuang Chen was secretly winking at him, as if to say, “Senior Brother Ning, hurry up!”
Ning Qi’s expression remained unchanged, but he smiled inwardly.
He said in a deep voice, “Since Sect Leader Luo has personally requested it, I will agree to your request.”
Seeing this, people from other sects also immediately flew back, expressing their sincere feelings and all requesting Ning Qi to visit their sects to establish Teleportation Arrays.
This scene made the disciples of the Boundless Sword Sect tremble with astonishment.
The Sword Ancestor sat next to Ning Qi, the relief in his sword-like eyes almost overflowing.
For the Boundless Sword Sect to reach this point, he knew that Ning Qi had played an absolutely leading role. While the Sword Ancestor felt gratified, he also couldn’t help but thank heaven and thank that junior named Lu Ziyue for bringing Ning Qi to the Boundless Sword Sect.
If Ning Qi had been snatched away by another sect back then, the Boundless Sword Sect would be facing a different scene now.
Seeing that all the sects were willing to set up unequal Teleportation Arrays in their own sects, even Ning Qi was taken aback.
He frowned slightly, looked at everyone, and suddenly said:
“Your sects have all had prodigies over the past hundred years. How about this: I will teach them some methods for building formations, and then, my sect’s Formation Masters will work with them to establish Teleportation Arrays in each of your sects.”
The sects also understood that with dozens of sects, it was unrealistic to invite the Alliance Leader to each of them.
Coupled with Ning Qi’s offer to teach their new prodigies formation-building methods, everyone felt this was even better.
After all, with their own people involved, they would be more at ease once the Teleportation Arrays were established.
Therefore, they agreed almost simultaneously, “Alliance Leader, let it be done according to this method.”
Ning Qi immediately selected the prodigies from each sect, then taught them the formation-building methods, and granted them tokens to activate the Teleportation Arrays.
Those prodigies stared at Ning Qi with burning eyes, their pupils shimmering with reverence.
Zhuang Chen was among them. He was truly convinced. Senior Brother Ning’s plan was a series of interconnected steps, and all the people chosen were reincarnated from the True Martial Realm.
These sects thought these prodigies were their own people, but in reality, they were the true allies of Ning Qi.
However, now that the sects had submitted, there was no power left to oppose Ning Qi, so they reluctantly continued to play the role of sect prodigies. After all, over the decades, some bonds had been formed.
Seeing their own prodigies being received by Ning Qi, the Sect Leaders of each sect couldn’t help but smile.
They felt that forming a good relationship with a prodigy like the Alliance Leader was a good move, but with their limited understanding, they could only see the first layer of it.
Afterward, Ning Qi said again, “Since all the Sect Leaders are here, to establish the Teleportation Arrays as quickly as possible, you might as well leave your sect coordinates. I will now activate one-way Teleportation Arrays to send you back to your sects.”
The congregation looked on with shock. Could it be done like this?
They did not hesitate, as they were going to establish Teleportation Arrays in their sects anyway, and they would have to provide their spatial coordinates sooner or later.
Thus, Ning Qi, based on the spatial coordinates left by each sect, established dozens of one-way Teleportation Gates on the plaza.
On each Teleportation Gate, an illusory image of each sect appeared.
The congregation couldn’t help but be shocked once more.
With this method, the Alliance Leader could completely lead them to conquer various places. As long as they knew the spatial coordinates, they could go wherever they wanted.
They thought about the upcoming Spirit Realm War. If this method could be used there, then following the Alliance Leader would be incredibly advantageous!
Ning Qi summoned the formation masters from within the sect and divided them into six groups again.
First, I followed the six sects back to their respective sects to help them establish Teleportation Arrays.
Currently, there are not enough people, so it is impossible to serve all sects at the same time, so we have to take turns.
Fortunately, once the Great Formations are built in each sect, they can Teleport back at any time and go to other sects again, and the efficiency is extremely high.
It’s much better than before when everyone wanted to invite Ning Qi to fly to each sect.
Thus, everyone stepped into their respective sect’s Teleportation Gates, and their figures disappeared.
When they saw that they had truly returned to their sect in a few breaths, they were once again impressed by the Alliance Leader’s abilities.
After everyone left, Ning Qi also instructed the people in the sect to complete the Void Spirit Veins near the Boundless Sword Sect.
Then, he assigned a group of people to establish the Xuanzhen Alliance Headquarters outside the sect.
These trivial matters should be handed over to subordinates. Now Ning Qi only focuses on the planning of the overall situation and his own cultivation.
The matters have finally come to an end.
As the subordinates replenished the Void Spirit Veins according to Ning Qi’s instructions, the Spiritual Energy in the area where the Boundless Sword Sect was located surged again.
In an instant, endless auspicious clouds appeared in the sky, and the Spiritual Energy gushed from the ground like a fountain.
The environment of the entire Boundless Sword Sect has been visibly improved again.
……
In the blink of an eye, another three years passed.
In the past three years, Teleportation Arrays have been established in each sect, and they have also sent people to station at the Xuanzhen Alliance Headquarters next to the Boundless Sword Sect, ready to obey the laws issued by the Alliance Leader at any time.
In three years, they used the power of their entire sect to replenish the Spiritual Energy in their respective sect’s areas according to the Void Spirit Vein Completion Technique.
On this day.
The entire Xuanzhen Domain trembled once again.
In the vastness of space, everyone had a feeling that Heaven and Earth seemed to have become more complete.
Spiritual Energy circulated between Heaven and Earth, and the Rules were like rivers, flowing endlessly.
The entire Xuanzhen Domain was bathed in a rain of Spiritual Energy, and everyone in it had a happy expression on their faces.
They understood that this was a sign of the Xuanzhen Domain returning to its Peak Period.
In three years, all the sects worked together and finally perfected the Xuanzhen Domain in advance, before the Spirit Realm War.
In these past few years, there have been more and more Prodigies in various sects, and today many people have broken through bottlenecks on the spot.
All the sects were overjoyed, feeling that the Strength of each sect, like the Xuanzhen Domain, had reached an unprecedented Peak Period.
And the source of all this, everyone knew clearly, was bestowed by the Alliance Leader who was stationed at the Center of Xuanzhen Domain.
Since the Alliance Leader became the World Lord of the Xuanzhen Domain, there have been few conflicts between the sects. Now, three years after all sects joined the Xuanzhen Alliance, not only have conflicts with other sects disappeared, but even internal strife within the sects has quietly vanished.
Everyone was immersed in this general trend where their cultivation would increase as long as they followed Ning Qi, feeling that these three years were the most comfortable days of their lives.
Thus, Ning Qi’s prestige also soared invisibly again.
Both the status of Alliance Leader and Domain Lord have deeply penetrated into the hearts of everyone in the Xuanzhen Domain, unshakable like an Immortal Mountain.
The reincarnated individuals from the True Martial Realm in the various sects were also happy to see this situation.
The World Lord didn’t need to raise an army, and all the sects submitted willingly, reducing many wars, which also made them much more relaxed.
If this continues subtly, in a hundred or several hundred years, when they are in power, the Xuanzhen Alliance may completely become an Existence like a Sect.
Can this be considered that the True Martial Realm has directly occupied a territory in the Mountain Sea Realm!
……
Qingxuan Immortal Sect.
Old Ancestor Si Kong Qing had been in closed-door cultivation since he was almost killed by Zhan Xuan Shang Jun last time.
Even though the adjacent Northern and Southern Regions merged and became the Xuanzhen Domain again, Si Kong Qing had no intention of coming out of seclusion.
After all, in his opinion, it would take at least a hundred years for the Xuanzhen Domain to truly return to its peak. After he recovered from his injuries, he would still have a chance.
But today, the scouts he sent out suddenly brought news that the Xuanzhen Domain had fully recovered its Peak Period.
Si Kong Qing, who was in closed-door cultivation to recover from his injuries, was instantly startled and flew out of the Qingxuan Immortal Sect, looking towards the Territory of the Xuanzhen Domain.
With his Dao Integration ability, upon careful Perception, even across a Domain, he could sense the Change within the Xuanzhen Domain.
Seeing that the Xuanzhen Domain had truly recovered, Si Kong Qing’s eyes widened in disbelief. How was this possible?
In just a few years, the Xuanzhen Domain had recovered?
He frowned, always feeling that there seemed to be a pair of invisible hands manipulating everything behind it.
The more he thought about it, the more fearful Si Kong Qing became.
Thinking of the Hatred from killing the four Venerables of his sect by the Boundless Sword Sect, Si Kong Qing suddenly felt that if he delayed any longer, he might not have a chance.
In the past two years, he had also sent people to collect intelligence on Zhan Xuan Shang Jun.
But after two years, he had only collected information from two places.
One was the Northern Profound Upper Sect in the Northern Xuan Region, which was destroyed by him.
The other was when he, Si Kong Qing, went to settle accounts with the Boundless Sword Sect, but he accidentally encountered Zhan Xuan Shang Jun and was almost beaten to death!
The whereabouts of Zhan Xuan Shang Jun were erratic. He had only made two moves, but each time, it seemed to be related to the Boundless Sword Sect.
Si Kong Qing thought of this and couldn’t help but guess in his heart, could it be that Ning Qi had an Immortal Sect power behind him to make a Layout?
Thinking of this, Si Kong Qing felt it was better to be cautious.
He couldn’t go to the Boundless Sword Sect for revenge now, so he would wait until the Spirit Realm War began.
He didn’t believe that their influence could still reach into the Spirit Realm battlefield!
