Ning Qi had already taken a step forward the moment Gong Tiandao's formation pattern appeared.
The array pattern also appeared under his feet.
The floating light and shadow disrupted the formation pattern used by Gong Tiandao.
In the end, only Gong Tiandao and the cultivators under his command, as well as some of Hai Zu's subordinates who were close to them, disappeared from everyone's sight.
When everyone came to their senses, they found that they had fallen into the shadow of the sacred mountain and were sitting at the foot of the mountain ancestor.
The sudden change in the scene startled everyone present.
Jian Zu, Qi Keqing and others were still in fear. They didn't know what kind of situation they would face if they were teleported away by the formation set up by Gong Tiandao.
Zhao Yujun of Yuehai Immortal Sect and other cultivators under Haizu also showed a hint of fear on their faces.
They were not afraid of Gong Tiandao, but they were afraid that they would be teleported into the shadow of Buzhou Mountain and fall into the hands of the Mountain Ancestor.
Who knows what fate they will face if they fall into the hands of the Mountain Ancestor, it will definitely not be a good thing.
Zhao Yujun and others looked at Ning Qi with gratitude.
If it weren't for Ning Qi, who had extremely high attainments in formation, I'm afraid all of them would have been teleported away by Gong Tiandao.
And because of Ning Qi's presence, only about one-tenth of them were teleported away.
"Fellow Daoist Ning, thank you very much!"
There was a hint of anxiety on Zhao Yujun's pretty face, but she still smiled at Ning Qi.
Ning Qi shook his head slightly.
"There's no need to thank me between you and me. Besides, I didn't save all of you."
Zhao Yujun said, "Fellow Daoist Ning, please don't say that. I think besides us, Hai Zu will also be very grateful to you. Without you, Hai Zu would probably face even greater trouble!"
This was absolutely correct, but Ning Qi didn't respond. Instead, he said, "Let's withdraw some of our men and continue watching."
So, he and Zhao Yujun directly led the monks under their command and retreated a considerable distance towards the Haoran Realm.
At this moment, everyone felt that the war had developed to a point that they could not understand.
It was fine before, as they only had to fight against the monks from the other world.
But now, after the arrival of the three ancestors, things have become extremely strange.
Sometimes it was the Sea Ancestor and the Mountain Ancestor fighting against the Saint Ancestor, but now it has become the Sea Ancestor, the Saint Ancestor and the Mountain Ancestor fighting together.
How will this...spiritual war end?
Not only did they have this question in their minds, but they also doubted their own safety.
Damn, I finally managed to survive until the end of the war. I don’t want to die when it’s almost over. That would be too frustrating!
Everyone continued to stare at the shadow of Mount Buzhou in the distance.
The Holy Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor saw that Gong Tiandao had used the teleportation array to teleport many cultivators to the Mountain Ancestor's phantom of Mount Buzhou.
They were both shocked.
Only by blessing the eyes with the aura of immortality can the phantom of Mount Buzhou see some invisible things.
Now that the Mountain Ancestor has summoned all the monks in, what exactly is he planning to do?
The Holy Ancestor was extremely grateful that he had previously sent many cultivators from the Haoran Realm back to the Haoran Realm.
Unlike the Mountain and Sea Realm, the two ancestors did not allow the cultivators to return to the Mountain and Sea Realm. The Mountain Ancestor even deliberately used the huge phantom of Mount Buzhou to block the passage back to the Mountain and Sea Realm.
"Haoshan, release my people!"
Hai Zu's long hair stood upside down, and he looked extremely evil. A layer of gray boundary sea energy surrounded his body, and his increasingly crazy expression gave people a terrifying feeling.
However, the Mountain Ancestor who entered the vast shadow of Mount Buzhou did not take this kind of horror seriously at all.
Perhaps, for the current Mountain Ancestor, not only the Sea Ancestor, but even the Saint Ancestor, he doesn't care much.
The only thing that made him a little unhappy was that Gong Tiandao did not teleport all the cultivators from the Mountain and Sea Realm who were near him before, which would have some impact on the magic he was going to cast next.
It’s all the fault of that talented kid!
Shanzu stared at Ning Qi in the distance.
A pair of sharp eyes, which seemed to depict the birth and death of the universe.
At just one glance, Ning Qi felt a terrifying sensation, like a mortal being stared at by a ferocious beast.
Ning Qi hasn't felt this way for a long time.
Even when facing the Sea Ancestor and the Saint Ancestor, he did not feel this way. The previous Mountain Ancestor also did not give him this kind of oppressive feeling, but the current Mountain Ancestor gave him this feeling.
Fortunately, Shanzu's current focus is not on Ning Qi. Ning Qi is at best just a cultivator with some talent.
What about surviving thirty-six heavenly tribulations, what about surpassing everyone in the history of the two worlds, all these will no longer exist in the future.
The Mountain Ancestor was suspended in the shadow of Mount Buzhou and flew to a high place. He was always looking down at the Sea Ancestor and the Saint Ancestor.
"Qinghai, why are you still so naive?"
With a faint smile on his face, he continued, "If you had dared to borrow the power of the sea boundary earlier and fight me to the death, this situation wouldn't have developed to this day."
"Do you know why you always lose to me?"
Hai Zu asked coldly, "Why?"
Shan Zu shook his head in disdain, "Because even though you've become a Sea Zu who can seemingly rival me, you still lack the mentality of a truly powerful person, the one who's number one!"
"You've always been constrained by your own limitations, living in your emotions, and dwelling on the past. Humph, with so many constraints, how can you become the number one?"
Even the aqua-blue eyebrows on Haizu's beautiful face stood up.
She said, "I don't know what you gained from the inheritance. I only know that you weren't that kind of person before. Is becoming the number one really that important? So important that you'd abandon everything? So important that you'd even do something as inhumane as killing your master?"
Shan Zu shook his head and said, "You still don't understand. Why don't you ask the well-read old fellow beside you? He should have read the history books of immortals, right?"
Hai Zu couldn't help but look at Sheng Zu, his pair of icy eyes seemed to be longing for an answer.
The Holy Ancestor glanced at the two of them and did not respond to the Sea Ancestor's answer first. Instead, he said to the Mountain Ancestor:
"Each generation has its own talented people, and the Yangtze River's waves behind push the waves ahead. I can say that my life has not been lived in vain to meet someone as ambitious as you. I want to ask you first, you no longer care about the alliance between me and your junior sister, right?"
The Mountain Ancestor glanced at Gong Tiandao and the other cultivators below him, then glanced at the expanding shadow of Mount Buzhou before responding, "You can say that."
"It seems that you are the main driving force behind this great war in the spirit world. Are you absolutely sure that you can achieve a breakthrough through this?"
Shan Zu sneered, "You're not that stupid. At least you haven't read that many books."
"Okay, I understand."
The Holy Ancestor seemed to sigh, "Unfortunately, you will never be the true winner."
"Whatever you say, ideals are ultimately worthless in the face of true strength."
Shengzu turned and stared at Haizu, saying, "Now I understand why he has come to this point, and why he said that you will never be the number one."
Hai Zu asked, "Why exactly?"
The Holy Ancestor said, "You are able to forcibly integrate the energy of the sea of boundaries into your body. Not only me, but even he feels a little shocked. But this only proves one thing, that you are very cruel to yourself!"
"But if you want to be number one, being ruthless to yourself isn't enough..."
Hai Zu asked, "Does it really mean I have to be like him and not hesitate to kill my master?"
"Killing his master is merely the most normal part of his behavior. His essence is to be ruthless to others! I've practiced for so many thousands of years and have met many people. Clearly, he's the closest to the strongest people described in history books."
"If you read real history books, you'll find that the most powerful people all share one characteristic: to gain the highest position, they're willing to kill their parents, brothers, and even their own children. So what is a teacher to these blood relatives?"
Hai Zu's breathing was a little heavy, and her emotions were once again aroused by Sheng Zu's words.
She has always been sentimental, otherwise she would never have fought against the Mountain Ancestor for so many years because of her father's death. She has been insisting on finding the truth and even went so far as to integrate the power of the Sea of Bounds into herself.
Therefore, she actually always felt unable to understand her senior brother Shanzu.
The worldviews of two people are completely different. How can one understand another person's different world with one's own world?
However, the words of the Holy Ancestor reminded her of the stories of the most powerful people in the history books of the immortal way.
Hai Zu has always disliked and rejected these historical books, believing that they were all fabricated and deliberately written by later generations to discredit those most powerful people. It is impossible for such people with ruthless temperaments to exist.
That's why she only now completely connected her senior brother with those people.
Hai Zu seemed to understand everything, yet seemed to understand nothing.
She raised her beautiful face, revealing a hint of sadness.
"Is this the only way to become a truly powerful person?"
The Holy Ancestor sighed and did not answer her.
In other words, he is the same type of person as Haizu.
Since he took charge of the Haoran Realm, he has even guided the will of the Haoran Realm onto the right track, allowing all living beings in the Haoran Realm to achieve good development.
However, no matter how good his wishes are or how well he develops, once he encounters an attack from a powerful and ambitious person like Shanzu, all the good things he has built before will face the challenge of being shattered.
This made the Holy Ancestor feel quite depressed.
He had read the history books of immortality countless times, but he still believed that the world needed to develop in a better direction, otherwise everything would be destroyed.
However, just like the most powerful people recorded in the history books of immortals, the benevolent and wise kings among them are often not respected by people. Instead, the most powerful people who caused seas of blood and mountains of corpses are the most remembered. Many people fantasize that they are also such a powerful person, who can be invincible and make the world bow down with just one word.
The Holy Ancestor even suspected that the world was heading towards destruction.
Otherwise, why is it that every time there is good development, there always appears a powerful person who is above all living beings, steps on the heads of all living beings, forces them to submit, and forces all living beings to suffer.
He even wondered if these powerful people were specifically out to promote the destruction of the world?
For a moment, the Holy Ancestor also felt that the world he saw was too small, even though he had read a lot of books and had reached such a level of cultivation.
But the spiritual world is still too small compared to the entire sea of worlds.
"Alright, you two guys, stop feeling sorry for yourselves. Let me show you what a truly strong person is and what the true way of heaven is."
"Heaven and earth are unkind, treating all things as straw dogs. All living beings are ignorant, and they need strong people to keep the world in order!"
A vast and mighty sound of the Tao came out of the Mountain Ancestor’s mouth.
In an instant, all kinds of energy in the void, including the void itself, seemed to be in harmony with his voice.
The entire war realm was shaking, and even the mountain and sea realm behind it was shaking, as if echoing the voice of the Mountain Ancestor.
Many cultivators were shaking, and even felt that the power in their bodies was rapidly draining away, and the direction of the drain was exactly where the Mountain Ancestor was, flowing towards the phantom of Mount Buzhou.
Ning Qi's expression changed slightly.
His pair of golden eyes that had been infused with the aura of immortality could clearly see that all the energy in this world was pouring into the shadow of Mount Buzhou and into the body of the Mountain Ancestor.
He looked to his side and saw Zhao Yujun and other cultivators under Hai Zu's command, all of whom looked terrified!
Ning Qi looked behind him again and found that the strength of the two domain armies, including Sword Ancestor Qi Keqing, was also being lost.
Ning Qi immediately sensed himself and found that the power in his body was also overflowing weakly.
However, he quickly moved his mind, activating the four-directional power he gained after overcoming the tribulation in his body, and immediately stopped the overflow of energy.
"Quick, use the Jiesheng Wandao Jue that I taught you when I helped you overcome the tribulation."
Upon hearing this, Sword Ancestor and others immediately started practicing the Art of Tribulation and the Thousand Daos.
Suddenly, the loss of energy in their bodies stopped instantly, and everyone was delighted.
They all looked at Ning Qi, not knowing what to say.
Could it be that the Domain Lord had anticipated everything? Why could this Tribulation-Born Ten Thousand Dao Art resist the power of the Buzhou Mountain phantom?
If Ning Qi knew what they were thinking, he could only smile bitterly.
How could he predict everything in advance? He just knew from his own world master system that creatures born into the world would have defects.
For cultivators like Sword Ancestor Qi Keqing who came from the Mountain and Sea Realm, all the cultivation they acquired, even after they mastered the power of rules and achieved the state of Hedao, was nothing more than the energy of the Mountain and Sea Realm.
The Mountain and Sea Realm has its own will. What if it wants to take back all this?
So can they fight back? Obviously not!
Therefore, after Ning Qicai passed the tribulation himself, he immediately helped Jian Zu and others to pass the tribulation, allowing them to break away from the control of the Mountain and Sea Realm and prepare for his own rebellion against the Mountain and Sea Realm later.
I didn't expect that I would use it unintentionally to resist the power of the Mountain Ancestor.
Ning Qi, Jian Zu and others looked at Zhao Yujun and other cultivators under Hai Zu beside them, and found that after just a short while, one tenth of the strength in their bodies had been lost!
This is simply amazing!
Fortunately, they all closed their eyes, clenched their teeth, and began to practice the secret method passed down by the Sea Ancestor to resist the power of the Mountain Ancestor and Mount Buzhou.
But the effect was obviously not as ideal as the skills of Sword Ancestor and others, it just reduced the rate of loss.
Ning Qi was powerless to do anything about this. This involved the original power, and he couldn't help even if he wanted to.
Ning Qi looked at the shadow of the Mountain Ancestor and Mount Buzhou again.
Suddenly, blood flowers bloomed in Mount Buzhou and turned into blood-red flying snow.
When Shengzu and Haizu saw this, their eyes were bloodshot!
Those blood flowers were none other than Gong Tiandao and other cultivators from the Mountain and Sea Realm who had just been teleported in.
Shanzu actually sacrificed them in front of everyone, sacrificed his subordinates, and sacrificed those who followed him.
Gong Tiandao has the strongest cultivation among them, and he still has a head left.
His head was flying and shaking, looking at the Mountain Ancestor above his head.
"Shanzu..."
However, a great force descended from the Mountain Ancestor's body, directly smashing his head and sending his soul flying out.
He blew again, blowing it away.
"As my subordinate, you must sacrifice your life for me when needed. You should have known this from the beginning!" (End of this chapter)
