Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

"Oh? Are you going with me?"

"Didn’t you mention, aren’t there also your master or senior brothers here?"

Ning Qi suddenly became curious upon hearing her say this.

"Yes, my master and senior uncles are here, just up ahead."

"I felt bored, so I came to the end first."

Xu Qingqiu nodded, then sighed with relief, "It’s really nice to be free from the constraints of elders!"

"I think you’ve escaped, haven’t you?"

Ning Qi looked at her carefree appearance, showing he understood her quite well.

"Let’s stop talking about that, will you come with me?"

"Or shall we go separately?"

Xu Qingqiu was reluctant to discuss the matter, waved her hand, and prepared to set off.

"Let’s move together."

"Then there’s someone to talk to!"

Seeing that she was leaving, Ning Qi followed up, "Please!"

"Great!"

Although Xu Qingqiu didn’t show it, she was delighted inside.

Having someone to talk to, who is also very polite, to cooperate with.

Anyone would be willing to work together.

The two of them left this mountain gate, heading towards another mountain gate.

Soon, they arrived at the entrance of another mountain gate.

Ning Qi stopped and looked at the mountain gate ahead.

"This is much simpler, no array restrictions, nor a mountain protection array!"

Xu Qingqiu also came over, carefully observed for a while, then said to Ning Qi, "Let’s go see what else is there."

"Alright, let’s go!"

Ning Qi agreed promptly, and continued up the mountain with Xu Qingqiu.

Along the stone steps of this mountain gate, they occasionally saw skeletons.

This was the most tragic mountain gate they had encountered.

Many of these skeletons had severed limbs, and some were crushed to bones.

In short, one sentence: it’s too tragic.

"What kind of mountain gate is this, whom did they offend to make others use such harsh methods against them."

Xu Qingqiu couldn’t bear to look, commenting angrily as she walked.

"Usually, there are two possibilities."

"They possessed a supreme treasure they couldn’t protect."

"Or, they offended someone they shouldn’t have."

Ning Qi continued upwards while analyzing with Xu Qingqiu.

"You have a point."

Xu Qingqiu sighed, looking at the mountainside where there were likewise many corpses.

Some bodies were mixed together, indistinguishable from each other.

Evidently, all the people here were killed and handled collectively.

"Let’s go, nothing much to see. I’m kind of hoping they had an unprotectable supreme treasure."

"That way, the treasure might end up in our hands!"

Ning Qi was eagerly anticipating, quickening his pace towards the mountain peak.

There, their main hall was located.

"Let’s hope so."

Xu Qingqiu responded, closely following.

Soon, they reached the mountain peak, where there were only two halls.

"I’ll go to this one."

Xu Qingqiu picked one and walked directly towards it.

"Alright, send me a sound transmission if anything comes up!"

Ning Qi nodded in agreement, heading towards the hall she didn’t enter.

Upon entering, he found this hall was well preserved.

However, the things inside were similarly vandalized.

No longer the grandeur of past years.

He came to the center, looked around, and found nothing of value.

Then chose to leave directly.

When he came outside, he saw a flash of bright light in the hall where Xu Qingqiu was.

Curious, Ning Qi suddenly rushed towards that hall.

Soon, he arrived inside the hall.

Saw Xu Qingqiu studying a golden pillar supporting the hall.

This immediately piqued his curiosity.

"What are you looking at?"

Curiously watching Xu Qingqiu, he asked.

"Use your strongest weapon, attack this pillar and see!"

Without explaining, Xu Qingqiu instructed Ning Qi to attack the golden pillar she was examining.

"Alright, I’ll give it a try."

Ning Qi, unsure of what was occurring, nevertheless decided to try since she said so.

Maybe, he might discover some secret.

He then directly took out his Chaos Sword.

After charging up, with a gust of wind, the Chaos Sword slashed towards the golden pillar with unmatched momentum.

"Clang!"

A heavy collision sound ensued, instantly forcing Ning Qi a few steps back.

The strong recoil numbed his palm.

Blood flowed from his wrist.

Looking at his Chaos Sword, though undamaged, attacking such a firm golden pillar caused the sword to vibrate continuously.

Clearly releasing its force.

"Quite strong, not only undamaged, not even a sword mark!"

Seeing Ning Qi’s surprise, Xu Qingqiu laughed, pointed at the spot he slashed, and remarked.

"What is this, why is it so hard?"

Ning Qi walked up, attentively examined the spot he just slashed.

Really not leaving a trace.

He couldn’t believe his eyes.

Even deliberately reached out his hand to touch the spot he just slashed.

Indeed, no damage at all.

"If weapons can be forged from this, they’d be incredible."

"But I also have no idea what this is."

Xu Qingqiu sighed lightly, then looked at Ning Qi, "But we can’t take them with us."

"So hard, we definitely can’t manage to move them."

"That’s not necessarily true!"

Ning Qi eyed the golden pillar, pondered earnestly, and said, "We can directly take them along with whatever’s bigger, isn’t that doable?"

"Huh? I hadn’t thought of that."

"But is that feasible?"

Xu Qingqiu looked at Ning Qi, hearing his bold idea, instantly showing doubt.

"If it were someone else, they might really not have the chance."

"But I’m different, I’m the Realm Lord!"

"And the Lord of Three Realms, I have control over three Lower Realms!"

"My absorption ability isn’t comparable to ordinary people!"

Ning Qi laughed heartily, boasting of his resources.

Yet, he clearly didn’t mind revealing it to Xu Qingqiu.

"Huh? You’re actually Realm Venerable!"

Xu Qingqiu, listening to Ning Qi, couldn’t help surveying Ning Qi in front of her.

Never expected that Ning Qi turned out to be Realm Venerable.

"Come, let’s go out, let me see if it can be done!"

"If I succeed, when I retrieve it later, find a way to refine these golden pillars, I’ll let you know!"

With that, Ning Qi walked outside.

Xu Qingqiu didn’t hesitate, directly followed him outside.

Soon, they went outside to the plaza.

"I’m starting now!"

Ning Qi composed himself, then activated the powers of all three Lower Realms.

Suddenly, fierce winds surged all around.

Invisible forces began converging on the hall ahead.

Initially, the hall remained motionless.

But as Ning Qi exercised his Realm Venerable power, it gradually levitated under his control to the void above.

Although only over a yard high, Xu Qingqiu already found it incredible.

After all, she couldn’t even budge a single pillar before.

Now, seeing Ning Qi able to lift it, she was utterly amazed.

Is this the power of Realm Venerable?

She marveled in her heart, continuing to watch Ning Qi as he collected the palace.

"Shrink for me!"

After suspending the hall, Ning Qi began launching the Water Pattern of Three Thousand Waters.

Then invisible pressures began compressing the hall, shrinking at a visible rate.

Eventually transforming into a stream of light, controlled by Ning Qi’s palm.

With a flash, it was completely subdued.

Looking again at the location of the hall, it was now an empty space.

No one knew a hall ever stood here.

"You’re amazing, so easily you subdued it!"

Xu Qingqiu finally came to her senses, praising repeatedly.

"Someone’s coming!"

Ning Qi turned his gaze to the position at the foot of the mountain.
