Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 741: Chapter 315: Watching from the Sidelines

The Fuyao Realm army led by Qi Keqing witnessed Ning Qi and his followers vanish right before their eyes.

As they stared into the empty void ahead, their hearts were filled with countless emotions.

Especially those who had just questioned the array of the Profound Truth Realm army felt utterly humiliated.

They released their Spiritual Sense, scanning the surroundings, but detected nothing.

After a long while, everyone finally came back to their senses, feeling a sense of resignation.

As the strongest among them, Qi Keqing also couldn’t sense where Ning Qi had gone, so she asked the array cultivator, "Can you perceive where they are?"

The array cultivator shook his head and said, "Senior Sister Qi, I don’t mean to speak highly of others, but Ning Qi’s expertise in arrays far surpasses us. I cannot find any trace of them at all."

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked once again.

It was one thing for such a large army to disappear without a sound before them, but the fact that they couldn’t detect even a hint of the opponent’s presence was somewhat terrifying, wasn’t it?

Fortunately, that array cultivator finally said something that offered them a glimmer of hope.

"We don’t need to search for their traces. We just need to follow in the direction they were heading before, and maybe we’ll gain something."

In the crowd, an elder spoke up, "How do you know Ning Qi isn’t deliberately misleading us? What if he changed direction after going invisible?"

The array cultivator let out a slight snort, seemingly very dissatisfied with this remark.

"Elder Li, I can’t guarantee that what I say is completely correct, but if Senior Sister Qi still intends to pursue them, continuing forward presents the greatest possibility."

He looked at Qi Keqing and continued, "Senior Sister Qi, I’ve said all I can; what to do after this is all up to you."

Upon finishing, the array cultivator returned to his original position.

There was one thing he didn’t voice, which was that Ning Qi didn’t mind them following at all, openly heading in one direction.

Yet, upon reaching this point, Ning Qi and his followers suddenly disappeared.

This indicated that Ning Qi had approached his intended target location, which is why he suddenly went invisible.

As for Qi Keqing, gazing into the distance, she pondered over many things and finally said, "Continue forward!"

Ever since encountering Ning Qi, it hadn’t even been a whole two-hour period, but Qi Keqing felt he was shrouded in endless mysteries, constantly surprising her.

She wanted to find out if the compass in Ning Qi’s hand could truly locate the node.

Perhaps she wanted to uncover more things, which drove Qi Keqing to keep advancing.

Before long, the scene ahead changed.

The war domain formed by the condensation of realm power from two realms was not flat in terrain, yet it didn’t have particularly unique scenery either.

But at this moment, Qi Keqing sensed that a hundred miles away, there was an exceptionally distinctive place.

The Spiritual Qi in that area was vast like smoke, and from a distance, the entire region seemed shrouded in mist, connecting Heaven and Earth.

Even her Spiritual Sense couldn’t see it clearly.

Qi Keqing immediately said, "There seems to be a large node ahead; let’s proceed with caution."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately began to set up their own formations.

Even though they couldn’t completely conceal the entire army like Ning Qi, they could achieve half-concealment.

What is half-concealment? It means that unless the opponent seriously investigates, they won’t discover their presence.

But with a careful check, they would surely be spotted.

...

Under the guidance of the Soul-Searching Plate, Ning Qi led the Profound Truth Realm army to locate this large node.

By now, they were within a fifty-mile range of the large node.

This fifty-mile area was entirely shrouded in mist.

Concealed in the void, they took a light breath, feeling the Spiritual Qi like mist, refreshing their spirits.

They couldn’t help but marvel at how the remarkable energy of this large node was truly astounding.

Below, the sound of beasts roaring continuously emerged, and even in the sky, faint cries could be heard.

Ning Qi gazed ahead, where a beam of clear light appeared, but due to the spiritual mist, much was obscured and not clearly visible.

He quietly unleashed his Spiritual Sense, and all obfuscation could no longer block him, everything fully displayed before his perception.

This central node was not something he discovered for the first time.

Currently, there was a troop stationed at the center, hunting the fierce beasts of the Sea of Realms in this place.

Their actions were extremely covert, every attack meticulously controlled, as if fearing exposure would immediately attract enemies.

This army’s number exceeded even that of the Profound Truth Realm cultivators, judging from their attire, they all wore fiery red robes, clearly cultivators from the Vermilion Bird Immortal Sect of the Spirit Bird Domain of the Vast Realm.

Previously, Ning Qi had annihilated a squad of Vermilion Bird Immortal Sect cultivators. It seemed they had entered the war domain at this vast area.

So, it was natural for Ning Qi to encounter the people of the Vermilion Bird Immortal Sect repeatedly.

The previous Vermilion Bird Immortal Sect troop only matched a third of the Profound Truth Realm army in number, yet now they exceeded the people of the Profound Truth Realm.

Clearly, the cultivators of the Vermilion Bird Immortal Sect had gathered here!

It remained uncertain whether their presence was to claim this large node or if they had sensed their divided force being annihilated, causing them to gather together.

Ning Qi scanned all members of the Vermilion Bird Immortal Sect, quietly assessing their cultivation.

In merely a moment, he completely understood.

Within, there were nine Extreme Venerable cultivators at the Integration level, twenty top Venerable cultivators, fifty ordinary Venerable cultivators, and sixty other Integration Realm cultivators!

As for those below the Void Path Realm and Primordial Spirit Realm, they were roughly comparable to the Profound Truth Realm army.
