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...
The dark sea has calmed down.
Amidst the turbulent currents, Ning Qi reached out and touched the remains of Mount Buzhou.
In an instant, the dark mountain spun around and shrank, eventually turning into a small tower-like remnant that landed in Ning Qi's palm.
Ning Qi observed it silently with his spiritual sense.
He had only seen the phantom image of Mount Buzhou condensed by the Mountain Ancestor before, and had never actually seen its physical form.
It must be said that the mere illusory image of Mount Buzhou that the Mountain Ancestor condensed was enough to suppress the Holy Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor, almost causing them to perish within it.
This remains are the legendary true remains of Mount Buzhou, passed down from ancient times to the present, and contain many secrets.
The mountain was originally a ruin, but the Mountain Ancestor refined it and recast it into a mountain shape, which is convenient for Ning Qi now, so he doesn't have to do it himself.
Ning Qi's spiritual sense penetrated into the mountain and swept across its interior.
In just a short while, he got a general idea of what was inside; it was a hidden world.
If you were to truly magnify it, it would be enough to become a small world.
The interior of the mountain features all the common landforms such as plains, deserts, and swamps, but it is mainly dominated by towering mountains and ridges, and the whole area looks desolate.
Sparse black weeds were scattered across the grassland, and several black tree trunks stood bare in the mountains and forests, creating an atmosphere of utter desolation and barrenness.
No living beings survived within it; all things perished.
At the very center, there is a solitary peak, which is quite unique.
It resembles a broken Tower of Babel, towering in the center of the earth, exuding a sense of mystery at first glance.
On one side, there was a cliff face. Ning Qi went closer to take a look and found that there were many inscriptions on the cliff face.
The inscriptions are carved on the cliff face, some entirely in text, some entirely in pictures, and some in both ways.
It is easy to see that these were not carved by one person.
At a glance, Ning Qi's face immediately lit up with joy.
This mural with inscriptions is entirely about cultivation methods and various supernatural powers, as well as biographical records of certain figures.
The Six Paths Immortal Wheel Divine Power that the Mountain Ancestor had previously used was among them.
Ning Qi wasn't in a hurry to admire the scenery when suddenly, he heard the sound of turbulent waves in the Boundary Sea.
Ning Qi looked back at the Boundary Sea and discovered that the Mountain Ancestor's immortal body had split into two parts, head and body, which were sinking into the turbulent currents.
"trouble!"
Ning Qi shook his head and sighed.
If we leave this guy's body alone, it will probably be completely swallowed up by the turbulent vortex of the Boundary Sea and then swept away to who knows where.
Ning Qi even felt that he might be swept into the deeper part of the Boundary Sea, and might even become one of the twisted monsters.
Ning Qi would not allow that to happen.
He can still defeat the twisted monsters he has encountered so far, but Ning Qi cannot be sure if the twisted monster is transformed from the body of an immortal like the Mountain Ancestor.
Therefore, in order to avoid encountering a potentially powerful monster, Ning Qi naturally had to help Shan Zu collect his corpse.
Ning Qi casually sent the remains of Buzhou Mountain into his storage space and took out a huge spirit stone vein from it.
Swish, swish, swish!
In the blink of an eye, a spirit stone coffin appeared in front of Ning Qi under the carving of his spiritual sense.
After placing the severed head and body of the Mountain Ancestor into the jade coffin, Ning Qi casually touched the Mountain Ancestor's bosom.
"Hmm, there isn't any?"
Ning Qi then pulled up the sleeves of Shan Zu's hands, and thankfully found an ancient-looking ring on his right hand.
"The Holy Ancestor's Ancient Dao Sacred Map was put away by him, and it should be in this storage ring."
Ning Qi had not forgotten that ancient sacred map.
Even someone like Lian Shanzu, who received the inheritance of Buzhou Mountain, would fight over such a map, so its value is naturally considerable.
Ning Qi gripped the storage ring and probed it with his spiritual sense, only to find that he couldn't open it for the time being.
"It seems we'll have to find some time to crack it, but there's no rush."
The Mountain Ancestor has dominated the Mountain and Sea Realm for hundreds of thousands of years, accumulating countless treasures. With the inheritance of Buzhou Mountain, Ning Qi has made a fortune this time.
Of course, the immortal body of the Mountain Ancestor is also very useful.
For Ning Qi, and even for the Holy Ancestor and Sea Ancestor who had joined the True Martial Spirit Realm, this body was a very valuable reference for their master.
Both wanted to become immortals, and Ning Qi naturally wanted to as well.
Therefore, the immortal body of the Mountain Ancestor is worthy of their joint study.
After sealing the Mountain Ancestor in a jade coffin and sending it into his storage space, Ning Qi looked at the turbulent sea of the boundary.
The pitch-black sea had long since erased any trace of their battle, as if nothing had ever happened.
Ning Qi cast his gaze into the deeper reaches of the Boundary Sea, where a vaster world awaited his exploration, along with endless dangers.
"Fairyland, twisted monsters, boundless evil energy... everything is a target for me to explore."
Ning Qi frowned slightly, deeply concerned about the Mountain Ancestor's last words.
"They'll come looking for me, but who are they?"
Ning Qi muttered to himself and vanished instantly into the Boundary Sea.
...
True Martial Spirit Realm.
After the Mountain Ancestor was defeated by Ning Qi, the Spirit Realm stopped its journey into the depths of the Boundary Sea.
The crisis has been resolved, and there is no need to continue traveling to unknown territories, as that would only endanger all living beings in the spirit world.
The Enlightenment Tree, having merged with the seedling of the Jianmu tree, possesses the ability to shield the world, and Ning Qi had already activated it.
Now, he casually chose a safe place by the sea and settled down.
The vast True Martial Spirit Realm continues to absorb the energy of the Mountain and Sea Realm and the Vast Realm; its transformation has not yet stopped.
Whether they are beings from the True Martial Spirit Realm or beings from the Mountain and Sea Vast Realms, they all need to recuperate and adapt to each other.
Ning Qi's main body did not return, but the clone that remained inside projected the battle in the Boundary Sea to some people in the Spirit Realm for them to watch.
Among them were most of the cultivators from the True Martial Immortal Sect, as well as important cultivators from the other two realms.
Among them, the Holy Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor were the most prominent.
Using the nameplate given to them by Ning Qi, the two were transported to the True Martial Spirit Realm after the Mountain Ancestor became an immortal.
The Holy Ancestor was alright, after all, his clone had already browsed the True Martial Spirit Realm.
This was Hai Zu's first time visiting the True Martial Spirit Realm.
Fortunately, Zhao Yujun, the sect leader of the Moon Sea Immortal Sect under her command, was there, so the Sea Ancestor was not too unfamiliar with her.
Seeing that Zhao Yujun and the others were still alive, that most of the spirit domains under her command were still there, and that the spirit domains were still under her command under Ning Qi's arrangement, Hai Zu felt a warmth in his heart.
She hadn't forgotten how she had forcibly seized the Xuanzhen Domain from the Mountain Ancestor and tried to force Ning Qi to acknowledge her as his master.
Now, Hai Zu dared not say anything about Ning Qi acknowledging a master again.
In a short period of time, after just one war in the spirit world, Ning Qi has grown to the point where she can only look up to him.
Gazing at the vast True Martial Spirit Realm, and learning Ning Qi's true identity from Zhao Yujun, Hai Zu was filled with shock, awe, and more awe!
It turns out that Ning Qi was just a cultivator from a small world below the Mountain and Sea Realm. Faced with the arrogance of the cultivators from the Mountain and Sea Realm, he stood up, fought back, and broke into the Mountain and Sea Realm.
In just a few hundred years, Ning Qi, all alone, integrated the entire Mountain and Sea Realm into the True Martial Spirit Realm.
For Hai Zu and Shan Zu, this period of time was but a blink of an eye, but Ning Qi created a terrifying miracle!
Hai Zu then toured the True Martial Spirit Realm with Zhao Yujun.
Within the True Martial Spirit Realm, ninety-nine dragon veins coexist with water veins.
Every part of the area was meticulously laid out, making it the most suitable place for cultivators to practice, which broadened Hai Zu's horizons once again.
"This world is too perfect..." Haizu murmured.
Beside him, Zhao Yujun smiled and said, "Lord Haizu, we now call it the Perfect World. Cultivating in this world, one day is equivalent to a hundred days in the Mountain and Sea Realm."
Haizu continued on his way.
During this time, he encountered many of the cultivators who had served under him in the past, and the Sea Ancestor would ask them for their thoughts one by one.
They naturally maintained their respect for Haizu as always.
"How are you all feeling? Are you adjusting well?"
When this matter is mentioned, everyone can't help but smile happily, which makes Haizu a little jealous.
adapt?
They were indeed not used to it at first. Of course, their discomfort was not due to not being used to the environment, but rather because they were too damn used to it!
How come they have such a good environment for spiritual practice? What kind of suffering did they endure in the past?
"Lord Haizu, it is thanks to you that you seized the Xuanzhen Domain that Ning Qi was able to take us into the True Martial Spirit Realm immediately. Otherwise, we would have been destroyed by the Mountain Ancestor."
Seeing the genuine smiles on their faces, Haizu couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
Along the way, he saw that the cultivators of the three realms had begun to merge, which made Hai Zu feel Ning Qi's power more and more.
Perhaps she, the Mountain Ancestor, and the Holy Ancestor are all called Ancestors, but their strength is only due to their own power.
Ning Qi's strength is only reflected in his own power; he even managed to make the entire True Martial Spirit Realm stronger.
The beings within it, whether they are native inhabitants of the True Martial Spirit Realm or outsiders like them, are treated equally.
This magnanimous spirit also made Haizu realize what kind of person Ning Qin was.
Perhaps having someone like that to lead the entire True Martial Spirit Realm is the best choice!
Hai Zu has experienced too much darkness: the death of her father, the sacrifice of her senior brother Shan Zu to all living beings. What she most wants to become is someone like Ning Qi.
Unfortunately, everything was beyond her control; an orange grown south of the Huai River is an orange.
She could only do her best to resist all the darkness in the Mountain and Sea Realm. To this end, she did not hesitate to merge with the energy of the Realm Sea, and became a madwoman.
Fortunately, arriving at the True Martial Spirit Realm allowed Hai Zu to experience a long-lost sense of relaxation.
...
Standing on the True Martial Immortal Sect's plaza, Hai Zu witnessed firsthand the end of the battle between Ning Qi and Shan Zu as projected onto the screen.
Her body trembled slightly, unable to conceal the turmoil in her heart.
The square was already bustling with noise and cheers.
Their realm lord has won, and all threats have been eliminated.
For the people of the True Martial Realm, this has been a series of events, from the lingering poison of the True Martial Realm before, to facing the invasion of powerful cultivators from the Mountain and Sea Realm, and finally to becoming enemies of the entire Mountain and Sea Realm.
Everyone was on edge, not daring to relax for a moment.
Now, it's all finally over!
Amid cheers from the crowd, Ning Qi's true form returned.
Ning Qi descended from the sky and landed automatically beside his clone. Then, the two bodies merged into one.
The square fell silent instantly, everyone staring intently at him.
Ning Qi laughed and said, "What, is there something on my face?"
Longshan Daoist, as the true teacher, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.
"Xiao Jiu, you did it!"
His eyes even welled up with tears, as he thought of Ning Qi's hardships.
Seeing this scene, Qin Yun, Ye Qinghe, and their former fellow disciples were deeply moved, and their eyes welled up with tears.
As for the people of the Xuanzhen Domain within the Mountain and Sea Realm, and Qi Keqing and others who followed Ning Qi afterward, they also felt something.
Ning Qi was also their sect leader, domain lord, and friend...
Sword Ancestor stood upright in the crowd. He was usually a stern sword cultivator, but now he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
Originally, he only wanted to revitalize the Wuji Sword Sect, but he never expected that such a terrifying immortal seed would emerge from within the sect.
Many people are still a bit dazed by the ten true teachings of the past, and at one point even doubted whether they were dreaming.
Jiang Yingxue's fair face was flushed, and she looked at Ning Qi with a dazzling light in her eyes.
She sighed inwardly. It seemed like just yesterday the two of them were true disciples competing against each other, but now, Ning Qi had even killed the strongest ancestor in the Mountain and Sea Realm!
Jiang Yingxue's eyes darted around, scanning the crowd.
She discovered that almost all the female cultivators' beautiful eyes were tinged with the same color as hers.
Some people are destined to be admired but never approached, yet they still flock to them like moths to a flame.
Ning Qi looked at the excited crowd in the square, waved his hand, and continued:
"A grand banquet for the entire world, three days of feasting, no one leaves until they're completely drunk!"
Immediately, a series of shouts rose and fell, spreading throughout the True Martial Immortal Sect.
"Sect Master is mighty!"
"Lord of the Realm, I love you!"
"Lord of the Realm, why the hell am I a man?"
Someone nearby looked at the person with a surprised expression. "Huh?"
"What are you looking at? If I were a woman, I'd go straight up to the Realm Lord and give him a sweet kiss!"
"Pah, shameless!"
Many of the female cultivators immediately scolded her, their cheeks turning red again.
The excited shouts did not stop within the True Martial Immortal Sect; they were like a vibrant cry, echoing down towards the True Martial Spirit Realm below.
Instantly, even more cries ignited throughout the True Martial Spirit Realm.
All beings rejoice, all beings are intoxicated!
...
Three days later.
Ning Qi and the Holy Ancestor Hai Zu reunited in the inner world.
The three-day feast not only cost Ning Qi a lot of money, but also the Holy Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor. They brought out many of their treasures from over the years to give to everyone for a celebration.
Now, three days have passed, and life has returned to normal.
The relationship between Haizu Shengzu and Ning Qi has become much closer.
During this period, Ning Qi conferred the title of Supreme Ruler of the Four Seas upon Hai Zu of the True Martial Spirit Realm, helping him to control the entire water system of the True Martial Spirit Realm.
Haizu gladly accepted the title.
With the addition of the Holy Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor, the True Martial Spirit Realm has become even more powerful, with two more near-immortals.
"Lord of the Realm, did you really kill him?"
Unable to contain his doubts, Hai Zu finally asked Ning Qi.
Ning Qi glanced at the two of them and smiled, "You mean the Mountain Ancestor?"
Haizu nodded.
Upon hearing this, the Holy Ancestor also showed a curious expression.
In their eyes, the Mountain Ancestor had already become an immortal, and his immortal body was immortal and indestructible.
Although they saw Ning Qi behead the Mountain Ancestor in the projection, they did not know whether the Mountain Ancestor was really dead.
"He's not completely dead yet?" Ning Qi said calmly.
The Holy Ancestor Haizu was taken aback.
The two exchanged a glance, and the Holy Ancestor frowned, saying, "You mean he's still alive?"
Ning Qi waved his right hand.
A jade coffin of emerald green flew out instantly and gently landed in front of the two of them.
The two immediately looked into the coffin.
The lid of the jade coffin slowly moved, revealing the body of the Mountain Ancestor. (End of Chapter)
