Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 263 - 155: Crimson Thunder, Descending the Mountain

In the Seeking Tao Institute.Ning Qi was reviewing the two Secret Techniques he had just created.

The Enlightenment Tea Tree grew even more verdant, maintaining its vitality even in the cold winter snow. Sitting cross-legged under the tree, Ning Qi found it easier to enter a state of Enlightenment.

Strands of Power of Heaven and Earth swirled around him, forming a barrier at Ning Qi’s side.

But the more astonishing transformation was happening inside of Ning Qi.hough regretting that in this era, the Innate Sword Bone had already been lost.

He conducted an Inner Observation on himself, hiding deep the formidable Sword Qi nurtured within, as a trump card that would not be used easily.

Then.

He experimented with the other Secret Technique.

Golden Pupil of Illusion-breaking.

Its prowess was in no way inferior to the Innate Divine Sword Qi, but this Secret Technique wasn’t intended for combat.

"Like the Innate Divine Sword Qi, the Golden Pupil of Illusion-breaking actually requires the power of the Martial Saint to be fully activated. At present, I’m merely using Gang Qi as a clever substitute, yet it still yields impressive results."

With a thought, Ning Qi’s eyes began to emit faint golden light, exuding majesty.

Wherever his gaze shifted, everything seemed to slow down, the snowflakes drifted very slowly, and the howling of the wind drew out strangely. Looking at the Enlightenment Tea Tree, he could directly see the essence being nourished and transported within the roots and stems of the tree. Looking at the Power of Heaven and Earth, he could even see strands of magical veins permeating the air.

"The so-called illusion-breaking, means to break through illusion. With the Golden Pupil of Illusion-breaking, most things in the world have no secrets in front of me, which matches perfectly with my understanding and helps me better achieve Enlightenment."

"Moreover, it’s highly beneficial for combat, easily seeing through the enemy’s true state. Powers of Heaven and Earth, Sword Intent, and Blade Intent—all are revealed before me, and even... it might have some effect on the Martial Saint Realm as well."

Although Ning Qi had never seen the Martial Saint Realm, he had a strong intuition about this.

Mastery of the two major Secret Techniques had further advanced Ning Qi’s strength, making him feel more at ease.

He looked up at the sky, suddenly feeling curious.

"To use the Golden Pupil of Illusion-breaking to observe the Thunderous Forbidden Zone?"

Since he hadn’t completed his cultivation lessons for the day, he felt a bit moved.

Silently, Ning Qi rose into the sky, his speed was extremely fast, reaching High Heaven with familiar ease, where the Thunderous Forbidden Zone still raged and churned, like Thunder Dragons fighting fiercely within it.

Ning Qi’s eyes emitted golden light, gazing towards the Thunderous Forbidden Zone.

The originally raging thunder seemed to slow down, his gaze crossing space, peering deeper into the forbidden zone, where purple-black thunder, black thunder, black-red thunder, blood-colored thunder...

Countless terrifying thunders permeated within. The aura they emitted alone made Ning Qi’s soul tremble.

He wished to see even deeper, but a bloody light soared to the sky, bearing terrifying power, seemingly tracing his gaze back to him. Startled, his heart shouted, and he quickly dispelled the Golden Pupil of Illusion-breaking, still feeling a lingering fear.

"That blood-colored thunder is truly terrifying; it destroys not only the body but can also obliterate the spirit and will!"

Yet Ning Qi couldn’t help but feel a surge of curiosity.

"Who knows if, beyond the blood-colored thunder, there are even more terrifying thunders, or perhaps... some other entities?"
