Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

"A Martial Saint tournament? Both New Saints and Ancient Saints need to attend?"

When Ning Qi learned of this news, he instinctively frowned.

His first realm mastery was nearing completion, and he didn't want to venture out at such a critical moment.

Initially, he intended to refuse, especially since his current strength meant few could interfere with his will. But soon, he abandoned this plan.

Because he remembered one thing.

The insider threat.

"According to the previous words of Taoist Baishan and the Heaven-Slaying Martial Saint, this Martial Saint tournament will fully expose the affairs of the Mountain and Sea Realm, and is also tied to the allocation of world consciousness power afterwards, where everyone will gather their strength to awaken the world consciousness."

"If I were that insider, I might seize this opportunity to cause trouble."

Ning Qi considered the situation. The biggest obstacle to the Mountain and Sea Realm invading Martial Realm is nothing other than world consciousness. Without the support of world consciousness, the Martial Realm would be nearly powerless.

If so, then the most suitable action is to severely damage the world consciousness.

This was something Ning Qi could not accept.

The path he intended to take involves merging with world consciousness. Severely damaging it would mean weakening his future power and possibly affecting his chances of entering the Realm Lord realm, causing irreversible consequences.

After careful consideration.

He still decided to attend.

He could continue his mastery during this time, as it wouldn't delay things for too long.

He conveyed this news to others.

The True Martial Sect now had many Martial Saints as powerful entities.

Including the Spirit Beasts of the True Martial Hall, there are dozens of them, though the strength of these beasts is unknown to the Martial Realm, and Ning Qi intended to leave the Immortal Crane and a few others to guard the sect, avoiding any intrusion during their absence.

However, the old Profound Turtle and others were going together.

But Ning Qi had a plan, instructing the Profound Turtle not to reveal their relationship for the time being, letting him depart first, while Ning Qi, along with the Blade Demon and others, left later.

After making the decision, Ning Qi gradually calmed down.

His powerful strength gave him ample confidence. If something unexpected happened, he had the ability to stabilize the situation.

He had gradually seen the Martial Realm as his possession and would not allow anyone to destroy it.

Several days later.

Ning Qi and the others left.

The world had been abuzz because of the Martial Saint tournament—it was uncontainable news. Or rather, the Martial Saints didn't intend to hide it; they wanted to use this opportunity to make people aware of the formidable enemies beyond the world.

Debates were intense.

One powerful figure after another broke through the sky.

Hundreds of Saints gathered, the majestic scene filled the Martial Saints with admiration.

...

Heavenly Peak Mountain.

This is the highest mountain in the Martial Realm, reaching the sky's pinnacle, hence the name. After the great changes of heaven and earth, this mountain reached tens of thousands of feet, appearing from afar like a Divine Sword piercing the clouds.

On it.

Numerous magnificent classical palaces stood tall. For the Martial Saints, it was swift to summon a batch of Martial Artists from the Celestial Human Realm to construct palaces.

At this moment.

One powerful figure after another rushed in from the sky.

"Taoist Friend Heize, long time no see."

"Since the awakening, I've had no chance for a visit; now I've finally found the opportunity."

"Indeed, indeed."

The Ancient Saints all laughed and exchanged greetings.

The Ancient Saints had lived through long ages, having heard of each other's names and many even had significant relationships, so naturally, they were quite familiar now.

This made some of the New Saints feel awkward.

They had just stepped into the Martial Saint Realm; their strength and experience were far inferior to the Ancient Saints. However, most New Saints were raised by Ancient Saints to Celestial Being Realm Perfection and then took advantage of the Spiritual Awakening to directly enter the Martial Saint Realm. Only a handful relied on themselves to achieve Celestial Being Realm Perfection.

Overall.

The atmosphere was still quite good.

Some Martial Saints who arrived earlier were exchanging experiences and insights, or trading treasures, offering New Saints a surprising experience.

Gradually, more Martial Saints arrived.

Suddenly.

Martial Saint Heize's eyes brightened. He nudged Thunderstorm Martial Saint and White Cloud Martial Saint nearby, who followed his gaze and also brightened their eyes, then promptly stepped forward to greet.

"It's been a short while, yet Taoist Friend Tianjian's demeanor is even greater! Greeting to fellow Taoists."

The three greeted humbly.

The arrivals were Ning Qi and his party. Indeed, Thunderstorm Martial Saint and the others weren't flattering—they truly felt Ning Qi had undergone some changes that they couldn't perceive, the aura on the young Taoist was unfathomable, naturally eliciting their reverence.

One gaze after another looked over, sending a jolt through their hearts.

A man's name echoes like the majestic tree.

The name of Martial Saint Tianjian resounded like thunder.

It was said that although he hadn't reached the half-step Divine Power Realm, his combat strength was astonishing, qualifying to rival the likes of Heaven Slaying Martial Saint, and there was a rumor claiming Martial Saint Tianjian wasn't an Ancient Saint, but a contemporary man. However, many didn't believe this rumor; it seemed too extravagant that someone could reach such a realm in a short time.

At this moment.

As Thunderstorm Martial Saint and the others greeted, some Ancient Saints had a hint of envy in their eyes—after all, these are real big shots. They had heard before that Thunderstorm Martial Saint and the others had offended Martial Saint Tianjian, yet unexpectedly they benefited instead, since many Martial Saints have wanted to visit Ning Qi during this time but have all been politely declined.
