One day, after crossing over, Ning Qi sought only immortality.
With innate spiritual radiance bestowed upon him, he awakened full-level comprehension.
From that moment on.
Ning Qi...
Within the sea boundary.
A two-faced, four-armed, four-legged being, like a statue of a god, was crossing the sea in one direction.
However, what is strange is that the Mountain Ancestor made such a big move but did not cause any ripples in the boundary sea.
He was crossing towards the Zhenwu Spiritual Realm, but just as Shanzu had moved a short distance, he suddenly saw that the Zhenwu Spiritual Realm in the distance had also moved a distance within the sea of boundaries.
Shan Zu looked directly at the three people trapped in his hands, his blood-red eyes flickering.
"I forgot that the spirit world is controlled by the spirit world's will, but do you really think that world can escape from me?"
Ning Qi still sat cross-legged in the void, ignoring his thoughts.
The Holy Ancestor Haizu looked at the Zhenwu Spirit Realm revealed in the distance, his heart beating fast.
Shanzu snorted coldly, then stepped on the energy of the sea of boundaries with all four feet, and his speed instantly doubled than before.
He was like a huge human-shaped boat, and his four legs turned into giant oars that pushed the boat forward, moving quickly towards the location of the Zhenwu Spirit Realm.
In the blink of an eye, the location of Shanzu and Zhenwu Spirit Realm moved closer.
But this only lasted for a few seconds, and then the speed of the Zhenwu Spirit Realm moving in the sea of boundaries suddenly changed, again widening the distance with the Mountain Ancestor.
The vast Zhenwu spiritual world should have been extremely bulky, but at this moment it showed incredible flexibility.
Shanzu: "..."
This scene slowed down the pounding hearts of Saint Ancestor and Sea Ancestor.
Obviously, Ning Qi is still prepared, so it seems that they are not in a desperate situation yet.
If someone could observe this place from afar, they would find that the Zhenwu Spiritual Realm was like a huge bait thrown into the sea of boundaries, and the Mountain Ancestor had become a wild fish that was hooked and chasing the bait.
Shanzu obviously won't give up so easily.
He moved forward silently, with clouds and mist rising from under his four huge feet, and his speed doubled again.
The entire boundary sea is different from the world within. The energy of the boundary sea is extremely unbalanced and chaotic.
Even though the Mountain Ancestor seems to have calmed the fluctuations caused by the surrounding boundary sea, the nature of the energy flowing in the boundary sea will never change.
Therefore, Shanzu could only cross the boundary sea in this way.
Within the world, cultivators like them can easily tear the void and move through space, but when they reach the sea of boundaries, these methods are no longer effective.
Above the Zhenwu Spirit Realm, there was a vague figure sitting cross-legged.
That was the power Ning Qi left behind to control the Zhenwu Spiritual Realm.
The figure watched as the Mountain Ancestor increased his speed, and instantly, the Zhenwu Spirit Realm also increased its speed.
The entire Zhenwu spiritual world is obviously countless times larger than the shrunken Dharma image of the Mountain Ancestor, but it can move forward within the sea of the world without any resistance.
This scene once again left Shanzu speechless.
Every time the Mountain Ancestor increases his speed, he has to contend with the reaction force from within the sea of boundaries.
Moreover, he seemed to have been avoiding causing fluctuations in the boundary sea, and would calm it down with stronger force each time.
Therefore, when Shanzu saw that Zhenwu Spirit Realm was more flexible than him, he almost couldn't hold it anymore!
He originally thought that Ning Qi was difficult to deal with, but now he discovered that Ning Qi's world was the same.
Ning Qi's will has been observing the movements of the Mountain Ancestor.
Seeing that the Mountain Ancestor could calm the fluctuations in the boundary sea every time, Ning Qi immediately became curious.
"Why does he always try his best to calm the fluctuations in the boundary sea after increasing his speed? With his current strength, he shouldn't be afraid of countless beasts in this boundary sea, or even those twisted monsters that were formed by the aggregation of broken limbs."
Ning Qi always felt that this was extremely important.
Suddenly, just as Ning Qi was thinking, Shanzu's speed suddenly exploded several times again.
Ning Qi was careless and allowed Shan Zu to close the distance between them by half.
Ning Qi did not panic, but continued to control the Zhenwu Spirit Realm, adjusting its speed and gradually widening the distance between himself and the Mountain Ancestor's Dharma Image.
After he integrated the energy of the boundary sea, he also made the entire Zhenwu spiritual world be regarded as one by the boundary sea.
Therefore, he is not like the Mountain Ancestor, who needs to use his own energy to calm the fluctuations of the boundary sea every time.
Moreover, the power Ning Qi needed to move the Zhenwu Spirit Realm was almost negligible.
Because he can mobilize the energy of the sea of boundaries and let it propel itself forward.
This time, Ning Qi did not quickly widen the distance between the two, but like fishing, he kept the hope that Shan Zu would think that he could close the distance.
Looking at this scene, there seemed to be a hint of hope in the four blood-red eyes on the faces of the Mountain Ancestor.
Just when he was about to use the secret method to increase his speed, suddenly, Ning Qi's will in the Zhenwu Spiritual Realm directly controlled the energy of the sea of boundaries.
Suddenly, the entire sea of boundaries surged, forming a huge wave that rushed towards the mountain ancestor.
Shan Zu couldn't help but shrink his pupils when he saw this.
"What's going on?"
He had to use his own strength to calm the huge waves and restore peace.
After things calmed down, Shanzu went from being speechless to feeling uneasy.
His strength has been improved to the point of breaking through the limit, and he has used this double-sided Dharma image, but he still cannot catch up with a huge spiritual world.
Moreover, the spiritual world seemed to be able to manipulate the energy of the sea to prevent him from approaching, which was terrifying.
Obviously, this was a situation that Shanzu had not anticipated.
He thought this was enough to deal with Ning Qi, but he never expected that an accident would happen.
The Mountain Ancestor's Dharmakaya suddenly stopped in the sea of boundaries.
His eyes once again looked at Ning Qi and the other two who were trapped by the three palms.
"Very good, since you've been able to stop me from breaking through time and time again, I'll stop pursuing perfection!"
Ning Qi was still sitting cross-legged in the void, unaffected by the words of the Mountain Ancestor.
On the contrary, the expressions of Saint Ancestor and Sea Ancestor suddenly changed.
Shanzu's words about not pursuing perfection were like a terrible signal, shocking the hearts of the two.
Shanzu seems to be trying to break through by force!
The Saint Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor previously thought that they were at the same realm as the Mountain Ancestor and were only one step away from a breakthrough.
The start of the spiritual war, regardless of whether it is just or not, regardless of whether it is the party that started the war or the party that responded to the war, the Holy Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor felt that this might be an opportunity for them to break through.
However, by now, both worlds had disappeared, and the two men realized that Shanzu was closer to the limit than they were, and one foot had already stepped into the door of immortality.
The two of them might need a clear opportunity, or even greater hard work, to blast open the door to immortality, but Shan Zu was clearly confident of a breakthrough.
"Doesn't he want to wait any longer?" the Holy Ancestor whispered.
Hai Zu's breathing became much heavier, his pupils twitching, and he stared silently at Shan Zu through the gap in his giant palm.
She clenched her fists and found a layer of cold sweat on her palms.
"For millions of years, perhaps even tens of millions, no one has been able to achieve immortality. Can he really break through?"
The three ancestors were undoubtedly full of desire to become immortals, which was their lifelong wish.
For them, becoming an immortal is not just about reaching a higher realm, but about transcending from the spiritual world and entering the sea of boundaries, which is an unprecedented advancement in life.
They are the ancestors of one world, and everyone in both worlds respects them, but human desires are endless.
Just like the great emperors in human history, they unified vast territories and controlled the lives and deaths of hundreds of millions of people, but they were still not satisfied.
They also yearn for immortality!
For the three Shanzu, becoming an immortal is their only pursuit, rather than being satisfied with being the ancestor of a world.
The status of the ancestor, who seems to be respected by all living beings, is just a by-product of strength.
Perhaps everyone envied their status, but the three of them were actually tired of this kind of life.
The spirit world has trapped them for too long!
Their lifespan is not infinite. If they do not make a breakthrough, they will begin to decline halfway, and then it will become more difficult for them to become immortals.
Therefore, the war in the spiritual world began, and all three of them planned to use it to become immortals.
But now, the Holy Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor have been suppressed, and they are all saved by Ning Qi who suddenly appeared.
The two of them almost forgot their goals, and were almost defeated by Shanzu.
Needless to say, among the three, only Shanzu can take the opportunity to break through and take that step!
The Saint Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor's throats moved, and they couldn't remain calm at this moment, and they couldn't even take their eyes off the Mountain Ancestor.
On the one hand, they were afraid that Shanzu would really break through, but on the other hand, they wanted to see if Shanzu could really break through, because this could provide a reference for themselves in the future.
If they still have a future, if they can survive this time by chance.
After Shanzu finished speaking, the two-faced Dharma body no longer chased after the Zhenwu Spirit Realm, thinking of devouring the Zhenwu Spirit Realm and reaching perfection, but stopped.
His double-faced Dharmakaya image actually began to shrink, eventually changing from the size of a hill to ten feet in height.
The three giant palms were still stacked together, enough to trap Ning Qi and the other two.
The next second, the Mountain Ancestor exerted force with the palms of his three giant hands, and endless divine power surged out. The Buzhou Mountain entity in the other palm began to approach, as if to completely kill the three people.
The terrifying force suppressed the trunk of the boundary tree that was protecting the three people, causing it to creak and cracks to appear.
Seeing that it was about to break, Ning Qi, who was sitting cross-legged in the void, suddenly woke up from his meditation.
A golden light flashed in his eyes, and the golden light shot out and fell into the trunk of the boundary tree, instantly repairing the cracks on it.
Even Ning Qi felt a little pressure at this moment.
The speed at which he repaired was almost the same as the speed at which Shanzu destroyed it.
Fortunately, countless roots of the world trees penetrated into the giant palm of the Mountain Ancestor. Even if they could not penetrate it, they could still form enough supporting force to keep this space from being crushed by the Mountain Ancestor.
Moreover, the World Tree is also silently absorbing the power of the Mountain Ancestor.
The Mountain Ancestor felt Ning Qi's tenacity. His other hand was holding up the entity of Buzhou Mountain, which was emitting a bit of chaotic light and was about to be superimposed on the three giant palms.
Suddenly, the Mountain Ancestor's two-faced head tilted backwards, and two blood-red pupils looked into the depths of the boundary sea.
Several people clearly saw that his expression changed slightly, and seemed to have a hint of urgency.
“Huh~”
Shan Zu exhaled and said, "There's nothing else I can do. I'll spare your lives for now!"
Among the two sides, one side is like this.
The other side did not agree, but asked in surprise: "What did you feel? Why didn't I notice anything?"
"Nothing, just some things passed down from the past." The side that spoke earlier replied, "You must suppress them first and don't let them escape. I must draw some of my strength to deal with the crises that will come after becoming an immortal!"
The two faces of the Mountain Ancestor were talking to themselves and each other, almost leaving the three people surrounded by the giant palm stunned.
They simply couldn't understand why Shanzu was like a schizophrenia, like two different people.
On the other side, the Mountain Ancestor silently did as he was told and withdrew one of the three giant palms that trapped Ning Qi and the other two.
That giant palm actually reached out to the Buzhou Mountain entity in his other hand. The Buzhou Mountain entity floated up, and the two giant palms formed a mountain-shaped seal.
Suddenly, a terrifying force surged from the entity of Buzhou Mountain into the palms of the Mountain Ancestor.
Moreover, a force was drawn out from the two bodies of the Mountain Ancestor, which echoed with the Buzhou Mountain entity.
Both sides closed their eyes.
This sea boundary was still surprisingly calm, and the Mountain Ancestor seemed to be more cautious, trying his best to avoid causing fluctuations in the sea boundary.
"What are you doing?"
Suddenly, a sound of surprise came from the mouth of the Mountain Ancestor on the other side.
Ning Qi and the other two looked over there.
Only then did he realize that the Mountain Ancestor on that side had countless scars on his face. He was the Mountain Ancestor who had fought with Ning Qi in the Haoran Realm before.
Hai Zu frowned. She had always believed that that was the real Mountain Ancestor, but everything that happened before her eyes was obviously dominated by another Mountain Ancestor.
The scarred Mountain Ancestor had previously used the blood of all living beings to make the scars on his face disappear, but unexpectedly, they reappeared now.
"What are you yelling about? Aren't you going to become an immortal?"
On the other side, Shanzu scolded angrily.
Upon hearing the word "becoming an immortal", the Mountain Ancestor who had just spoken fell silent again, as if he was enduring the power being drained from his body.
"Um?"
Ning Qi, who was observing the two, raised his eyebrows, blinked his eyes, and sent a message to the Saint Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor behind him:
"Am I seeing things? Why does Shan Zu, with his scarred face, seem to be shrinking?"
Upon hearing this, Saint Ancestor Hai Zu also began to observe using secret methods.
"You're not mistaken, it seems to be true."
The Holy Ancestor echoed.
Hai Zu remained silent. She always felt that the scene before her was a little weird.
Time passed quietly, and the withdrawal of the giant palm by the Mountain Ancestor relieved Ning Qi and the others of much pressure.
However, the changes in his Dharma body became more and more obvious.
Later, one side of the scar shrank to half its size, and the surface showed signs of energy loss and drying up.
On the contrary, Shanzu's face, who was facing away, became even more rosy.
"Haoshan, your body..."
Hai Zu couldn't help but speak out.
The scarred Shanzu seemed to realize something when he heard the voice.
While enduring the energy extraction from his other half of the body, he was trapping Ning Qi and the other two, and he closed his eyes, so he did not notice the changes in himself.
At this moment, he opened his eyes and looked at his body.
This sight gave him a fright.
Ning Qi clearly felt that the two palms he used to trap the three people had become much weaker.
"I am the real body, are you weakening me?"
He asked again in surprise.
The Mountain Ancestor on the other side also opened his eyes, and blood light shot directly into the boundary sea.
"Hehe, you discovered it too late. When you inherited the legacy and gave me this future, you should have known that the future would destroy the past!"
After the Mountain Ancestor on that side finished speaking, the Mountain Ancestor on the other side, whose face was covered with scars, suddenly shrank like a withered flower.
"Are you really me..."
A few words that frightened Ning Qi and the other two also echoed quietly in the sea of boundaries. (End of this chapter)
