The Holy Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor stared at Ning Qi, their pupils slightly contracting.

Ning Qi grew rapidly and was able to learn their skills quickly, which shows that his talent far surpasses that of the two of them.

But learning is one thing, creating and modifying techniques is another.

At this moment, Ning Qi actually said he wanted to decipher the divine abilities in the Immortal Scripture and modify them so that everyone could use them. This was simply too disrespectful to the Immortal Scripture.

If Ning Qi were to modify the cultivation techniques or supernatural abilities of cultivators at or below the Dao Integration Realm, the two of them would not doubt it.

However, to modify a celestial scripture, especially one that leads directly to the realm of celestial immortals, is...

The two of them really didn't know what to say.

Ning Qi saw the look in their eyes and naturally understood what they were thinking.

Ning Qi pointed to the branches of the Enlightenment Realm tree in the square, and the branches swayed slightly, casting a green shade.

"It seems you've underestimated the power of my Enlightenment Tree?"

After Ning Qi finished speaking, he gently closed his eyes.

Just now, the Sea Ancestor released nine streams of immortal power, and then, based on the immortal power, formed an extremely complex immortal talisman array.

Although Ning Qi had never seen that rune array before, and even felt that he couldn't understand it, he memorized it completely.

At this moment, Ning Qi's mind and body were both in a state of clarity and enlightenment.

Recalling the formation of the rune array, the parts that were unclear gradually became clear with the help of the wisdom light's analysis.

Suddenly, he pointed at the immortal body of the mountain ancestor in the spirit jade coffin.

Nine streams of immortal power were immediately drawn out from within the immortal body, and then the talisman array began to condense in the same way that the Sea Ancestor had done before.

The Holy Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor stood to the side, their eyes twitching.

The Holy Ancestor thought to himself, "Could it be that he could memorize and recreate such a complex immortal array at a glance?"

Hai Zu was more sensitive to the power of the Enlightenment Tree mentioned in Ning Qi's words.

"This tree is too magical. Being enveloped by its power makes it easy to enter a profound state of enlightenment. The previous talisman array was something I would never have been able to successfully execute on the first try, given my temperament. But it was precisely because of the power of this tree that my mind was calmer than ever before, which allowed me to succeed on the first try."

Unlike Hai Zu, Ning Qi did not use the immortal power generated within his own body, but instead directly used the power within the Mountain Ancestor's immortal body.

Firstly, using his own power would be too wasteful; secondly, he wanted to create a supernatural power that everyone could use, so whether or not he used his own immortal power would be irrelevant.

Nine silvery-white immortal powers intertwined in the void, gradually taking shape.

Hai Zu had personally tested it once, so she was very clear about whether Ning Qi's talisman array had any errors.

Several times, she sensed that Ning Qi was about to make a mistake, but Ning Qi corrected it.

Time passed quietly, and Ning Qi found that using the mountain ancestor's immortal power was indeed much less strenuous.

Just as Ning Qi was about to perfectly replicate the Sea Ancestor's rune array, the nine strands of immortal power suddenly became unstable and exploded into a burst of fireworks.

Ning Qi's first attempt to form an array using immortal power failed.

"So, it really requires a specific technique to use?"

The Holy Ancestor frowned.

Ning Qi's expression remained unchanged. It was just one failure; what was the big deal?

He silently closed his eyes, reviewing all the previous steps in his mind, and murmured:

"Immortal talisman arrays are a technique that combines talismans and formations. Apart from being based on immortal power, in theory, they should be no different from the talisman arrays used by cultivators in the lower realms. So where does the problem lie..."

A flash of insight struck him as he continuously compared the differences between his own and Haizu's spellcasting.

"No cultivation technique or supernatural power is without roots; all have traceable origins..."

Ning Qi couldn't help but think of the divine script and supernatural powers that the Holy Ancestor had previously demonstrated to the public.

In fact, the rune array and the divine script and supernatural power of the Holy Ancestor are similar in that they can be stacked and disassembled, and the two have something in common.

With that in mind, Ning Qi did not immediately attempt a second time.

Instead, he began to study the contents of the Taiyin Flying Immortal Scripture obtained by Haizu.

He used the void as a wall, constantly inscribing rune arrays on it.

The Holy Ancestor, standing to the side, felt that the rune array Ning Qi had drawn subtly absorbed the essence of his unique divine runes and supernatural powers.

"This kid... he's truly terrifying from the bottom of my heart! With his comprehension, he could probably start deciphering anyone's spells and supernatural abilities after just one exchange. If he were to inherit their skills, he could learn them immediately, and even benefit from their spellcasting, thus quickly surpassing them..."

One after another, the array of runes continued to extend and expand in the void, making Ning Qi seem like a Taoist master who had inscribed the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

These rune arrays contain everything he has mastered so far; they are both a summary and a way to innovate upon the old.

Ning Qi used the divine script technique of the Holy Ancestor to disassemble and recombine these runes once again.

Previously, although his method of talisman arrays had reached a level of detailed subdivision and even allowed for arbitrary combinations, it had not achieved the complete freedom of control, like the divine runes of the Holy Ancestor.

Now, taking advantage of the opportunity to crack the immortal talisman array, he is also rebuilding his own talisman array system.

The void served as a barrier, from which countless runes and divine inscriptions of the Great Dao condensed.

The two, the Holy Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor, had already emptied their minds, their gazes following Ning Qi's deductions and descriptions.

They seemed to be captivated by what Ning Qi was depicting, and couldn't help but fall into a state of contemplation.

Soon, the rune array filled the void, shining brightly.

Ning Qi followed behind, his eyes gleaming.

He has reconstructed his own talisman array system. Legend has it that whether you are a master of array formations or a master of talismans, once you reach the pinnacle, you can create an array (transform talisman) with a single thought!

This standard is not as simple as it sounds. Ning Qi could do it before, but he could only generate an array or talisman with a thought.

Now, he can generate ever-changing rune arrays at will with a single thought, and can disassemble, combine, add or subtract from them all with a single thought.

This is the true creation of an array (talisman) in a single thought!

Ning Qi gazed at the array of runes that filled the void ahead, with a blank frame at the center of the array.

Within that framework, Ning Qi was using his own power to construct the immortal talisman array that the Sea Ancestor had previously condensed. Nine immortal powers were intertwined within it, but he was still just a little short of succeeding.

Ning Qi frowned slightly.

"It's still not right. Why do I always feel like something's missing?"

Ning Qi's words temporarily brought the Holy Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor, who were immersed in observing the Dao, back to their senses.

They all understood what Ning Qi wanted to do.

"Lord of the Realm, is it because of the immortal power?" the Sea Ancestor reminded him.

"Immortal power?" Ning Qi was slightly taken aback. "If it is immortal power, I have already used the immortal power within the Mountain Ancestor's body to condense that immortal talisman array, and it should have succeeded by now?"

Hai Zu said, "That's not what I meant. I was referring to the difference between the power of rules and the power of immortality."

These words instantly enlightened Ning Qi, as if a lightning bolt had flashed through his mind, shattering the darkness and fog ahead.

"you mean……"

"Lord of the Realm, you have always been using the power of rules. Even when you borrow the immortal power from the Mountain Ancestor, you are using it in the way of the power of rules, not in the way of the operation of immortal power!"

Haizu reminded him again.

With the Holy Ancestor by his side, he also understood something at this moment.

"You mean you want to use the power of the Great Dao?"

Haizu gently touched her chin.

Ning Qi refocused his gaze on the rune array in front of him.

"The power of the Great Dao, I finally understand..."

With a flick of his finger, the Yin-Yang Dao Diagram within his soul flew out and into the talisman array ahead.

Yin and Yang rotate, the Great Dao resonates, and all the power of the rules converges, surging like fire.

As the flames roared, a new power gradually coalesced and emerged...

At the center of that void rune array, the rune array that was previously unable to coalesce finally succeeded in gathering, and a brand new rune array was born at the center.

A ring appears, the immortal gate solidifies...

"Success?" The Holy Ancestor's mouth gaped open, his chin seemingly about to hit the ground.

A small, hazy immortal gate condensed across time and space from the center of the rune array.

Earth tones, bronze, silver...

Similar to the immortal gate that Hai Zu had previously condensed, this immortal gate seemed to begin testing the power of the person who condensed it once it reached the level of a silver immortal gate.

"You're here?"

Ning Qi's heart stirred slightly.

He quietly grabbed something from his storage space—the golden key he had obtained.

The golden key had an unusual reaction when the mountain ancestor first condensed the golden immortal gate at the moment of his ascension to immortality, which made Ning Qi always feel that the golden key was related to the immortal gate.

Ning Qi had never forgotten this matter, so at this moment, he picked up the golden key without hesitation.

In an instant, the golden key seemed to emit a golden light, revealing Ning Qi's storage space and echoing the small immortal gate that had been formed.

The Silver Immortal Sect, which had just been preparing to check the purity of Ning Qi's power, suddenly moved and abandoned the check, continuing to transform into a golden color.

In just a moment, a small golden immortal gate appeared within the immortal talisman array.

It is so magnificent that just looking at it gives one a sense of eternity and immortality.

"A Golden Immortal Gate? You actually managed to condense a Golden Immortal Gate, and it didn't even detect your energy..."

The Holy Ancestor was so startled that he almost ripped off his gray-white goatee.

Hai Zu was also shocked.

You should know that she had just demonstrated it once, and it was only thanks to the Taiyin Flying Immortal Scripture, which can cultivate to the level of a Celestial Immortal, that she was able to condense the Silver Immortal Gate.

However, because she possessed a large amount of Boundary Sea energy within her body and her constitution was impure, she caused the Silver Immortal Sect to disappear.

In any case, at least she could detect that if she followed the traditional path to immortality and dissolved the energy of the Boundary Sea within her body, she could at least condense a Silver Immortal Gate, and like the Mountain Ancestor, receive the baptism of the Immortal Gate and thus obtain the Full Moon Immortal Body.

Now, Ning Qi has directly broken the immortal talisman array unique to the Taiyin Immortal Sect, summoning a golden immortal sect in his own way.

The Golden Immortal Sect is immortal and shows no signs of dissipating.

This is enough to show that if Ning Qi had followed the traditional path to immortality, he would definitely have been stronger than the Mountain Ancestor.

Ning Qi gazed at the gleaming golden gate and suddenly severed the connection between the golden key in his storage space and the gate.

Instantly, the small golden immortal gate shook and vanished in front of the three of them.

Thousands of rune arrays continued to shimmer in the void, their light reflecting off Ning Qi and adding a touch of mystery to him.

"I think I've broken through that supernatural power..."

Ning Qi turned around and looked at the two Holy Ancestors.

The two men met his gaze, their expressions stiff, as if they were getting to know Ning Qi all over again.

"Young man, can you please stop scaring me like that... I really can't take any more frights."

The Holy Ancestor smiled wryly.

Hai Zu said, "You old man, shouldn't you be happy? With the help of the Realm Lord to break the Immortal Dao talisman array, you will be able to use this technique as well."

The Holy Ancestor nodded.

"That's true, but since one of you can condense a Silver Immortal Gate and the other can condense a Gold Immortal Gate, I'm having second thoughts about doing this. After all, if I were to condense a Bronze Immortal Gate, wouldn't that be too embarrassing?"

The two of them immediately smiled.

Ning Qi said firmly, "Don't think too much about it. I said I would help you condense a Golden Immortal Gate!"

The Holy Ancestor met his gaze. He wanted to deny it subconsciously, but when he thought about what Ning Qi had just done, the old man couldn't bring himself to express his doubts about the young man.

"Okay, I believe you, alright?"

After saying that, he rubbed his hands together, looking excited.

"I can also condense a Golden Immortal Gate? That would put me ahead of the Mountain Ancestor!"

Ning Qihaizu was helpless. The more he talked to this old man, the more he noticed that the refined and scholarly aura on him was disappearing.

"I have to thank Hai Zun for reminding me. I've been using the Dao Integration Realm method to break the Immortal Dao talisman array, and I never thought that my method was wrong."

Hai Zu chuckled and said, "Isn't this a case of 'even the wisest can make a mistake'?"

All three of them burst into laughter.

The rune array in the void did not fade and continued to shine, as if recording all of Ning Qi's insights.

"Your mastery of talisman arrays has probably reached a new level, hasn't it?" the Holy Ancestor asked curiously.

Ning Qi raised an eyebrow. "I suppose so. I never imagined that I could construct a rune array with power that transcends the rules. This is just like us cultivators from the lower realms being like frogs in a well."

After he finished speaking, he suddenly flicked his sleeve.

The rotating Yin-Yang diagram suddenly enlarged, covering the entire void.

Strands of the power of the Great Dao spread out, and instantly, all the rune arrays inscribed in the void were transformed by the power of the Great Dao.

They were originally formed from the power of rules, but at this moment, they were changed by Ning Qi's hazy power of the Great Dao.

It was as if each talisman array had acquired the dual nature of Yin and Yang, which are born from the Dao.

The Tao gives birth to One, One gives birth to Two, Two gives birth to Three, Three gives birth to all things...

The branches of the Enlightenment Realm tree above swayed slightly, and the rune array in the entire void shimmered with yin and yang colors.

The next second, they naturally converged towards the center.

The entire void was like a painting, as if the ink splashed by Ning Qi had been gathered back up at this moment.

This change surprised not only the Holy Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor, but also Ning Qi.

The three looked over and were astonished to find that all the rune arrays eventually converged into one, with the Dao faintly emerging, as if a rune array fruit had been formed.

The Holy Ancestor couldn't help but swallow hard.

The Sea Ancestor's icy eyes reflected the talismanic fruit, her delicate hand covering her lips, "Could this be...?"

Ning Qi stared blankly at the fruit-like rune array, as if touching it would instantly grant him an extremely high level of existence.

Ning Qi couldn't help but reach out and touch it.

The instant he touched it, the entire rune array fruit suddenly transformed into a stream of water, which flowed down his arm and into his body.

Ning Qi's body trembled.

"Boy, what exactly is that?" the Holy Ancestor asked hastily.

Ning Qi slowly felt the addition of a rune fruit within his body.

It changed because of the Yin-Yang Dao, and was formed because of the Yin-Yang Dao, seemingly completely free from the constraints of rules...

"The Great Dao Talisman Array Fruit..."

Ning Qi murmured. (End of Chapter)
