In the void, the pagoda formed by the thousand-word divine text collapsed, and the figure of the Holy Ancestor reappeared.
Compared to Shanzu's condition, his condition is even worse.
Everyone only saw a huge scar running diagonally across the Saint Ancestor's upper body. The wound was torn so deep that the bone was visible, but no blood flowed out.
The Holy Ancestor's body emitted golden light, and although it was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye, for someone at his level, the speed was extremely slow.
Ning Qi observed particularly carefully.
At this point in the battle between the two ancestors, it was obvious that the Mountain Ancestor had the upper hand.
His eyes fell on Shanzu.
The Mountain Ancestor stood in the air, his eyes bloodshot, his thick eyebrows raised, and his whole body exuded a murderous and bloody aura that was almost tangible.
I don’t know whether his current state was caused by the Divine Text Pagoda of Shanzu before, or by the magical power he just displayed?
Ning Qi did not see what happened inside the Shenwen Pagoda.
Amidst the divine sound of Zen chanting and Taoism, only the two words "Zhu Xian" containing the ultimate murderous intent were heard, and the Mountain Ancestor shattered the divine text pagoda that suppressed him and rushed out of it.
"Since you haven't achieved immortality yet, how can you talk about killing the immortal?"
The Holy Ancestor sighed lightly, lowered his head to look at the injuries on his body, and all the golden light on his body rushed towards the injuries.
The golden light is like water, and it is also energy, constantly washing away the scars and expelling the power left by the Mountain Ancestor.
Suddenly, everyone saw that his recovery speed increased, and he actually closed his eyes in the blink of an eye, seemingly no longer in danger.
But Ning Qi sensed something different.
The Holy Ancestor used the power of the rules of time again, but this time he used it to recover from his injuries.
It would be more accurate to say that the injury was not healed so much as it was achieved by rewriting the speed of time rules.
Ning Qi was extremely excited. Even he coveted the power of the rules of time.
Seeing that the Holy Ancestor had recovered from his injuries, the blood-red color in the eyes of the Mountain Ancestor became more intense, and there was a hint of fear in his expression.
No one knew what he had just experienced when he was trapped in the Holy Ancestor's Divine Script Pagoda. All they could see was that the Mountain Ancestor's current aura was obviously inconsistent with his previous condescending state.
Shanzu was obviously impatient with Shengzu's words.
"Old man, the immortal path is right before your eyes, can't you see it?"
At this moment, the Holy Ancestor actually glanced in Ning Qi's direction before answering:
"I had the same idea as you, but a certain little fellow helped me wake up from my dream."
Obviously, based on the direction of his eyes, everyone realized who the little guy mentioned by the Holy Ancestor was.
Ning Qi's heart moved.
He knew that the three ancestors all had further ideas, to transcend the current shackles, and this was the reason for the outbreak of this spiritual war.
But the Holy Ancestor said that he was influenced by him and woke up a little from his dream, which obviously had a hidden meaning.
Ning Qi really wanted to shut the Holy Ancestor's mouth.
Just shut up!
This old guy has been fighting with Shanzu for a long time, but he is not good at anything else but he is good at shifting the blame to others.
He didn't want to be taken seriously by the three ancestors now. The Holy Ancestor was obviously saying that he, Ning Qi, could have some influence on their future.
Fortunately, the Saint Ancestor briefly mentioned it, his eyes passed over the Sea Ancestor, and he looked directly at the Mountain Ancestor before continuing:
"My Divine Script Pagoda happens to possess some power to see into the past and the future..."
If someone had said this in front of the Mountain Ancestor or the Sea Ancestor before, they would have slapped them to death.
But they are extremely interested in what the Holy Ancestor says, even if he is an enemy, as he can influence the slightest rules of time.
"Tell me, what did you see?" Shanzu replied.
The Holy Ancestor smiled slightly.
"The Divine Text Pagoda can see through the three worlds: past, present, and future. I also clearly sensed everything you just experienced there, and therefore, I also understand your ambitions and what you are carrying..."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
This kind of magical power is simply unheard of and unseen!
Even Ning Qi was very curious. Could it be that the Holy Ancestor could really see into a person's past, present and future through his magical powers?
After defeating and controlling the enemy, these monks can use the soul-searching technique to see a person's past, but lack the present and future.
The other party is dead, so where is the present and future?
The Holy Ancestor's divine pagoda only trapped the Mountain Ancestor for a moment. Can it really see into a person's past, present and future with just this moment?
If the trapped person was a cultivator of a lower realm, it might be possible, but the other party was the strongest person in the Mountain and Sea Realm like Shanzu, so everyone was skeptical.
The reason why it is a suspicion rather than a complete denial is also related to the fact that the Holy Ancestor can exert some subtle time rules.
Shanzu snorted lightly, showing disdain.
Instead, a glimmer of inquiry appeared in Hai Zu's eyes, with a hint of something difficult to describe.
Shan Zu said nothing, but Hai Zu asked, "Is what you said true?"
The Holy Ancestor said, "I will tell you the name of a person, and you will know whether it is true or false."
Hai Zu suddenly became silent.
Shanzu stared at the two of them, frowning slightly.
The Holy Ancestor continued, "I wonder if you still remember Elder Qiming?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of Mountain Ancestor and Sea Ancestor changed at the same time.
Obviously, they were not unfamiliar with the old man Qiming mentioned by the Holy Ancestor, but were very familiar with him.
Hai Zu gnashed her silver teeth with a clattering sound, and she flew straight out and landed next to the Holy Ancestor.
At this moment, a hint of madness appeared on her beautiful face again.
"How do you know Elder Qiming? Did you really see Master Qiming in Haoshan's memory?"
Hai Zu's tone was unusually cold, and his entire body exuded a chilling aura like ten-thousand-year-old black ice.
The temperature in the entire war realm suddenly dropped, and white floating objects appeared in the void. They gradually grew larger and turned into snowflakes, floating down.
Some cultivators at a lower level felt an inexplicable chill invading them, chilling them to the bone.
However, they finally understood who the old man Qiming mentioned by the Holy Ancestor was. It turned out that he was the former mentor of the two ancestors.
But if he is really the ancestor's mentor, why would Hai Zu's reaction be so strong when he mentioned the other party, so strong that it was like snow in June?
Ning Qi was also puzzled by this.
He realized that no matter whether the Holy Ancestor really had insight into something or not, this move would lead to an old event, which might involve the truth of the rift between the Mountain Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor in the past.
"Fellow Daoist Ning, that old man Qiming has another identity."
Suddenly, Ning Qi received a voice transmission in his mind.
He immediately looked in the direction of the voice transmission, and it was Zhao Yujun, the leader of Yuehai Immortal Sect, who was transmitting the message to him.
Zhao Yujun blinked her beautiful eyes at Ning Qi.
As the first person under Hai Zu, Hai Zu handed over the Yuehai Xianzong, which he founded, to Zhao Yujun to manage. It seems that Zhao Yujun must have followed Hai Zu for many years and is deeply trusted by Hai Zu.
At this moment, perhaps seeing the pain on Hai Zu's face, and seeing that Shan Zu, whom they had always opposed, had the upper hand, Zhao Yujun actually revealed some secrets to Ning Qi.
Ning Qi didn't understand why Zhao Yujun told him this, but since he had free gossip to listen to, how could he let it go?
Then, Ning Qi also sent a message to Zhao Yujun:
"Fellow Daoist Zhao, could you please elaborate on what Elder Qiming's other identity is? I know very little about the two ancestors. If I could be of any use to you later, I would be deeply grateful."
Zhao Yujun paused for a moment before replying, "Elder Qiming was the master of the two ancestors when they were young, and he was also Hai Zu's biological father."
"Hmm?" Ning Qi hummed, waiting for Zhao Yujun's next words.
"Shan Zu once went to a small world in search of treasure, but became trapped there. Later, Hai Zu learned of the situation and, worried about her safety, ignored her father's advice and forcibly entered the small world. As a result, both were trapped."
"Later, their master, Elder Qiming, also entered the small world to save the two. However, although he saved the two ancestors, he also died there."
"I don't know the details of what happened."
Zhao Yujun turned his head and stared at Ning Qi. "I only learned about this when Hai Zu went mad during his cultivation. I hope Fellow Daoist Ning won't spread it to others."
Ning Qi nodded slightly.
"Are you saying that the relationship between the two ancestors began to break down from that time? The Sea Ancestor blamed the Mountain Ancestor for her father's death, which led to the subsequent situation in the Mountain and Sea Realm?"
Zhao Yujun said, "There's one thing wrong. Hai Zu didn't blame Shan Zu, but she felt that Shan Zu was the one who killed her father!"
Ning Qi: “…”
Ning Qi's slightly changed expression seemed natural to Zhao Yujun. When she first learned the truth, her heart was also turned upside down, and she finally understood all the reasons.
No wonder the two ancestors were obviously brothers and sisters, and had a very close relationship at first, but later became enemies.
Zhao Yujun added, "However, when Hai Zu's father, Elder Qiming, died, Hai Zu briefly lost consciousness, so she didn't see Shan Zu kill her father with her own eyes. This has always lacked crucial evidence."
Ning Qi nodded in thanks.
After Zhao Yujun's description, he finally understood why the two ancestors were so incompatible.
If it is really as Hai Zu expected, then it is inevitable that the two ancestors will become enemies.
Ning Qi looked at the three ancestors in front of him.
He exclaimed in his heart, Wow! The Holy Ancestor had brought up an old matter. This was to sow discord between the two ancestors and turn the tables!
But Ning Qi happened to like this.
He always felt that the war between the three was not chaotic enough. It was the Saint Ancestor who had been fighting the Sea Ancestor and the Mountain Ancestor alone. If this continued, it would be hard to say whether the Saint Ancestor and the Haoran Realm could hold on. The situation would be very bad for him.
The Holy Ancestor looked at the Sea Ancestor who was flying close to him, and then glanced at the Mountain Ancestor.
His eyes shifted between the two, as if he was considering what to say.
"Should I tell you alone, or should I just be frank?"
Finally, Shengzu asked Haizu.
Haizu's body seemed to be trembling. She also looked at Shanzu and was about to speak.
However, Shan Zu said to Sheng Zu, "You and I have reached this state, where everything is at our will and we are not bound by material things. Why should we act in secret? Speak frankly. I want to hear whether you can truly see into the past and the future."
The Holy Ancestor then asked the Sea Ancestor, "What do you think?"
Hai Zu's chest rose and fell like surging waves, her face ferocious to the extreme. She said in hatred, "Speak!"
The Holy Ancestor looked at her with pity and said, "Okay!"
"I saw from his past that he killed Elder Qiming with his own hands, sacrificing his life to open the seal of the treasure in that small world you were traveling to, and obtained the inheritance within!"
Hai Zu's long hair moved without wind and stood up.
In addition to emitting a hint of cold aura, there was also a circle of gray energy around her.
The energy twisted in an evil way, giving people a sense of foreboding at first glance.
Seeing this, the Holy Ancestor and the Mountain Ancestor were both stunned.
"The power of the sea!"
Ning Qi also opened his eyes wide, slightly shocked.
This was the first time that Hai Zu displayed the power of the sea of boundaries in front of everyone without any scruples.
No wonder Hai Zu had told him before that they both possessed the power of the sea boundary. It turned out that Hai Zu also cultivated his own forbidden method!
However, for the current situation, this is secondary. What is more important is what the Holy Ancestor said.
"Haoshan, is what he said true?"
Hai Zu's beautiful face was now covered with a layer of sadness and hatred, mixed with a touch of madness. She questioned Shan Zu coldly.
A paper fan appeared in the hands of the Holy Ancestor at some point.
He opened the paper fan and fanned it slightly.
But what was speechless was that a ball of fire actually appeared on the paper fan, and he blew out hot wind, as if to fight against the coldness of Hai Zu beside him.
The burly Mountain Ancestor stared at the two of them, finally settling on the Holy Ancestor.
For so many tens of thousands of years, Hai Zu would ask this question every time he fought with him, but he never told Hai Zu the truth.
But now, with a powerful enemy from another world nearby, he had to speak out.
Shanzu took a deep breath, then retracted his gaze and looked at the shadow of Mount Buzhou behind him.
Looking at the phantom of the sacred mountain that had no top in sight and connected to the earth below, a hint of fanaticism emerged on his face.
He started talking to himself.
"I am the peak when I reach the top of the mountain. There is only one person standing at the highest point in this world. Whether it's the mortal world or the immortal world, whether it's beasts or humans, which group do you see that isn't like this?"
Haizu and Shengzu continued to listen, and so did the other cultivators present.
Some monks even looked miserable.
They understood human nature and felt that they would not be able to escape death after hearing such a secret.
"In order to become the one standing at the top, I simply did what all living beings should do! As for friendship, that's something the number one person should give up considering!"
After these words were spoken, Shanzu tacitly acknowledged that what Shengzu said was true.
The Holy Ancestor suddenly put away his paper fan because he felt a burning heat from the Sea Ancestor who was not far away from him.
It was the Dao Fire that was spawned by extreme anger, and it seemed to have completely ignited Hai Zu.
He took a quick glance and saw that Hai Zu was covered in a layer of gray steaming flames.
As soon as this nameless flame appeared, Hai Zu's figure disappeared from his sight.
Rumble!
The war realm shook, the space became unstable, and all the energy in the void surged like a tsunami, making the cultivators unable to stand steadily.
The Sea Ancestor attacked the Mountain Ancestor with immense rage, only to see her approaching and waving her bare hands, condensing countless water blades covered with a layer of grey flames, which slashed towards the Mountain Ancestor.
When the Mountain Ancestor saw this, a small phantom of a sacred mountain automatically appeared on his body.
"Qinghai, my good junior sister, you have endured all these years, why are you attacking me now? Don't you care about the overall situation of the Mountain and Sea Realm?"
"Fuck the situation!" Hai Zu said furiously. (End of this chapter)
