Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 728: Chapter 311: Old Acquaintance from the Profound Lady Sect (Part 4)

Aside from this, Ning Qi also sensed other things from the beehive.

Within the beehive, there was a faint but vigorous life force emanating, suggesting the presence of a terrifying entity inside.

Ning Qi’s gaze swept over the swarms of bees fighting against the Vast Realm cultivators, as well as the occasional demon bee squads emerging from the hive.

Suddenly, Ning Qi understood that there must be a queen bee inside the hive.

That queen bee was continuously producing demon bees to join the battle against the Vast Realm cultivators.

Seeing this, Ning Qi couldn’t help but smile.

No wonder the Vast Realm cultivators have taken so long to capture this node; they were facing a fearsome swarm.

He extended his spiritual sense toward the Vast Realm cultivators.

The Vast Realm cultivators’ army still couldn’t match the Profound Truth Realm’s army in numbers, only amounting to a third of the Profound Truth Realm’s forces.

It was exactly as Ning Qi had learned from the White Crane Immortal Sect earlier.

The Vast Realm cultivators likely believed that the enemies they faced in this war domain, originating from the Mountain and Sea Realm, were insignificant Spirit Domain cultivators and not worth worrying about.

Thus, they separated their sects to attack each node separately.

Ning Qi’s gaze swept over the fiery, exquisite attire of the Vast Realm cultivators, comparing it with the information obtained from the White Crane Immortal Sect, quickly identifying the origin of the Vast Realm cultivators.

These cultivators also hailed from the Spirit Bird Domain, belonging to the Vermilion Bird Immortal Sect.

The Vermilion Bird Immortal Sect was stronger than the White Crane Immortal Sect and was the hegemon of the Spirit Bird Domain.

The Spirit Bird Domain Master was also a person of the Vermilion Bird Immortal Sect.

Ning Qi silently observed the people of the Vermilion Bird Immortal Sect, noting that their ranks did not include the Spirit Bird Domain Master.

For a unique presence like a Domain Master, Ning Qi could easily perceive them, a special sense shared among domain masters.

Moreover, being the True Martial Realm Master, Ning Qi had an exceptionally keen sense for domain masters.

Not encountering the Spirit Bird Domain Master was somewhat disappointing, but continuing to search would eventually lead to a meeting.

Ning Qi focused on the Vermilion Bird Immortal Sect cultivators ahead.

With a sweep of his spiritual sense, he instantly assessed their strength.

The cultivators were indeed powerful, with thirty at the Integration Realm, three Extreme Venerables, five top-tier Venerables, ten ordinary Venerables, and many elite cultivators beneath them.

Facing the demon bees from the Sea of Realms, adept at group attacks and bolstered by an array, they managed to suppress the bee swarms.

On the surface, their strength appeared slightly superior to the Profound Truth Realm’s army.

After all, the Profound Truth Realm’s army didn’t even have a single Integration Venerable.

Upon grasping the situation, Ning Qi pondered slightly.

Both sides were not weak; continuing this battle could take an unknown amount of time before one side was completely defeated.

If he intervened, it would require effort; perhaps he should check where the next node was and return after both sides had suffered more losses?

Ning Qi glanced at the Soul-Searching Plate in his hand, urging it to locate the next node.

Before long, the Soul-Searching Plate responded.

Its pointer wobbled in the northeast direction, indicating that the node was very distant, as even the pointer was uncertain of its location.

The power inside Ning Qi surged into the Soul-Searching Plate, causing spiritual qi to gather at its pointer, unexpectedly revealing a number.

"Ten thousand three hundred twenty-four."

This was a new feature Ning Qi added to the Soul-Searching Plate, allowing it to detect an approximate distance to the nearest node, measured in li.

The next node was ten thousand three hundred twenty-four li away from his current position, quite far indeed.

The functionality of this Soul-Searching Plate was not yet perfect, as it couldn’t detect the size of the next node or multiple nodes.

Only after Ning Qi captured more nodes could he gradually improve the device based on the existing data.

For now, Ning Qi had only two choices: capture the node here or head to the one ten thousand li away.

But would there be no other people at the node ten thousand li away?

So, Ning Qi looked ahead and finally decided to seize the node here first.
