Ning Qi lowered his head and stared at the strange patterns below that blocked their progress.
These patterns will only partially appear when he touches a certain area below.
It was like a part of some huge barrier, full of fresh vitality. Ning Qi speculated based on its strength that even if all the cultivators under Hai Zu came forward, they would be able to keep them all out.
However, this space is obviously the deepest and most secret place in the Mountain and Sea Realm. So far, only Hai Zu has actually entered here.
But since the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm mentioned the key to the Sea Ancestor's inheritance, Ning Qi knew that even if the Sea Ancestor wanted to enter here, he would have to use the "key" to open the door.
When Ning Qi thought of this, he immediately recalled the method of opening the door in the inheritance scroll given to him by Hai Zu.
Ning Qi suddenly stretched out his right hand, and the power in his body surged and operated in a certain way.
I saw his fingertips flying, quickly pointing in front of him.
After a while, he compressed the small space in front of him into the shape of a key the same size as him.
Then, all kinds of energy were injected into it, and this rule key began to shine and illuminate the void.
But that's not all. Ning Qi made a hand gesture and the key suddenly turned into a sharp sword, hovering above his head and stabbing in the direction they had just come from.
Rumble!
A huge noise was heard behind Ning Qi and the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm.
Immediately afterwards, the Endless Sea gathered terrifying energy towards this place.
The energies seemed to be moving rhythmically according to some kind of pattern, attacking fiercely like a tide.
Suddenly, a white full moon appeared at the bottom of the endless sea.
The full moon is flawless, and the moonlight spreads out, illuminating the world.
The bright moon rises under the sea!
Ning Qi never expected that this key would trigger such a dreamlike vision.
After the full moon and moonlight appeared, the barrier pattern below immediately appeared.
Dense patterns emerged in the void. They twisted and changed, like flowers blooming, animals migrating, and so on, forming all kinds of strange patterns.
Ning Qi felt an extremely yin and gentle force emanating from the bright moon, so gentle that it almost softened the will of him and the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm.
He seemed to have returned to the womb, feeling unusually peaceful and stable.
The most yin and soft power was then injected into the key the size of a person. It rotated in the air and absorbed it all.
Buzz!
Suddenly, the key automatically flew towards the pattern below and inserted into a critical place.
Suddenly, with that place as the center, the twisting patterns gradually receded, and a portal opened.
Ning Qi looked at the newly appeared portal and glanced at the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm.
The expression of the Mountain and Sea Realm Will became somewhat solemn. He also looked at Ning Qi and said to him:
"Kid, if you go any further you won't be able to turn back. Are you sure you want to go in?"
Ning Qi smiled and replied, "Jiezun, didn't I tell you in the war realm that I would rescue you?"
He answered with a question, and the sincerity of keeping his promise on his face made the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm slightly stunned.
The will of the mountain and sea world is the will of the spiritual world itself, but after truly awakening, no one he met has ever treated him like this.
Both the Mountain Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor used him as a tool to steal power from him. He had never experienced true love.
Perhaps, for the will of the spiritual world, having emotions is unnecessary.
However, since the war in the spiritual world began, the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm encountered the similar will of the Haoran Realm and sensed the other's living conditions, which made him feel a little envious.
He envied the fact that Haoran Realm's will could get along so well with the Holy Ancestor, unlike him and the Two Ancestors of Shanhai, who were mostly wary of each other.
Ever since the war realm connected the two realms, the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm has also sensed the state of the Haoran Realm.
The entire Haoran Realm is developing prosperously, and the surrounding small worlds are also developing along with the Haoran Realm, coexisting in mutual benefit.
Unlike him, ever since he was kidnapped by the Mountain Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor, he has been forced by them to devour the small worlds around him that were born dependent on him to strengthen himself, just to be able to get promoted quickly.
The will of the mountain and sea world thought of many things at once and felt quite emotional.
Although the Ning Qi in front of him made him feel a little unfamiliar, he was still the same person.
He flew towards the door, but stopped before it, blocking it with his hands, and then said, "Since you are willing to help me, then I will not hide anything from you."
The two of them hovered in front of the portal.
Ning Qi listened quietly, wanting to know what the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm wanted to tell him.
The shadow of the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm pointed at the portal and continued, "Inside is the world where I was sealed away by the two of Shan and Hai."
Ning Qi nodded. He had already realized this, but it was obvious that things were not that simple.
As expected, I only heard the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm continue:
"But besides my own will, there are other things inside."
Ning Qi looked serious, "What on earth is this?"
The will of the Mountain and Sea Realm glanced at Ning Qi's chest, as if sensing something, but he did not sense what he wanted to obtain.
He vaguely confirmed that the Ning Qi in front of him was not the Ning Qi in the war realm.
In addition, after arriving here, his true will was within the portal at the back, and his perception of Ning Qi became clearer.
The feeling of being a kindred spirit that Ning Qi gave him became deeper and deeper.
A hint of caution crept into the expression of the Will of the Mountain and Sea Realm, and he said, "Remember those two rare leaf treasures I gave you? You don't seem to have them with you in this clone."
When Ning Qi saw the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm looking at his chest, he realized something and connected the world in front of him with it.
He suddenly opened the storage space and took out a broken dead leaf from it.
Ning Qi pinched the broken dead leaf between his two fingers, "The rare treasure is still there!"
At the beginning, the will of the mountain and sea world gave him two leaves, one was broken and the other was intact, but both were like leaves that fell in autumn and winter, one was withered and yellow.
In the war realm, they helped Ning Qi block the perception of Haoran Realm's will, allowing Ning Qi to seize many hidden node spaces and integrate into the Zhenwu Realm. They even came and went freely in the territory controlled by Haoran Realm.
However, Ning Qi did not find any other functions of the two leaves except for blocking the perception of the spiritual world's will.
Any force injected into it is like nothing.
He had previously sent his clone out of the sea of boundaries to explore the Haoran Realm, and had given the complete leaf to the clone to prevent it from being noticed by the will of the Haoran Realm when it entered the Haoran Realm.
Therefore, Ning Qi now only has this piece of rare treasure in his hand.
The will of the Mountain and Sea Realm stared at the broken leaf in Ning Qi's hand, and the caution hidden in his expression seemed to have diminished a lot.
He finally said, "Inside the portal below, besides my true will, there is also a treasure, which is the true form of the leaf I gave you."
Ning Qi was slightly moved.
Good heavens, the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm told it before that this leaf was discovered from a small world and was presented to it as a tribute by the cultivators below. It didn't know if it had any other uses.
But now, after he had discovered the secrets of the mountain and sea world, he was told that the real body of the leaves was also in the world below.
Obviously, the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm did not tell him the truth before.
The Will of the Mountain and Sea Realm noticed Ning Qi's expression and tried to explain:
"I didn't tell you the truth back then, but I think you should understand. Given your situation back then, it's best not to know too much."
Ning Qi nodded.
He naturally understood that one sees the world according to one's identity.
"I made the mistake of informing Shan Hai and the others, which is why I was backstabbed and blocked by them. This lesson is too great for me!"
The voice of the Will of the Mountain and Sea Realm was slightly low, and it mentioned something from the past.
Ning Qi pinched the remaining leaf and watched it sway in his hand.
With this broken leaf in his hand, Ning Qi had never noticed its other uses or strangeness before, but now that he was here, it seemed as if he could feel a faint call from it.
At this moment, there was a very subtle force on the broken leaves in Ning Qi's hand, pulling him, as if telling him to go inside.
The force was so weak that even Ning Qi couldn't sense it without careful observation.
Ning Qi glanced down and saw that the patterns of the surrounding barrier had condensed into the shape of leaves at some point.
Some are big, some are small, some are thick, some are thin, some are green, some are yellow, and some are withered, as if showing the leaf shapes of all trees and plants in the world.
Ning Qi asked in confusion, "What kind of tree's leaves are these that could allow the Second Patriarch of Shanhai to seal Jie Zunli here and steal your power?"
The shadow of the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm replied, "If you really want to know, and you're not afraid of being sealed inside, then follow me into the portal."
Ning Qi really didn't understand why he couldn't turn back after entering the space in front of him, and he might even be sealed.
To be on the safe side, he still asked, "Jie Zun, before I enter, I have a question that I would like you to answer."
"you say."
"I have the key inherited from the Sea Ancestor. Since the key can open the portal, can't it also be opened when exiting? Since the Sea Ancestor created this key, she must have entered and exited more than once. Why did you, Jiezun, say that I can't turn back after entering?"
The will of the Mountain and Sea Realm looked deeply at Ning Qi and said:
"I used to think you were a genius born in the Mountain and Sea Realm, rare even in a million years, an immortal who surpassed both the Mountain Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor. But now, I'm not so sure you're still the you I know."
Ning Qi suddenly realized that even though the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm was already weakened, it had not lost its vigilance.
Obviously, the other party may have realized Ning Qi's identity, but has not yet confirmed it.
"I sensed a kindred spirit from you. If this is true, then you are different from Shan Hai and the others. Once you enter, there is no turning back!"
Ning Qi's heart moved, and he realized something from the words of the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm.
The Mountain Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor can enter the world below with the keys they made, but he can't, because he is the same kind as the Mountain and Sea Realm!
He is also the world and the will of the world!
Since the true body of the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm was sealed here by the two ancestors, then Ning Qi, as the will of the world, would most likely be sealed after he entered!
Ning Qi stared at the broken leaf in his hand and the leaf-shaped pattern on the barrier below.
Inside the portal ahead, there is not only huge danger, but also the biggest secret of the Mountain and Sea Realm.
Even though the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm told him that he would not be able to get out once he entered, and might even be sealed inside, Ning Qi still decided to give it a try!
A brave man will never be afraid of danger, but will go to the mountain where there is a tiger even after making sufficient preparations.
The current situation of the two worlds also means that Ning Qi has no way out.
The Mountain Ancestor is so powerful that he can suppress the combined forces of the Saint Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor. Although Ning Qi himself has become invincible, he is still no match for the Mountain Ancestor who inherits the Buzhou Mountain and exudes the aura of immortality.
But Ning Qi believed that as long as time was on his side, and with his understanding, he could dig out the final treasure, and then he would be able to pacify the two worlds of Shanhai Haoran.
The shadow of the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm watched the changes in Ning Qi's expression.
Ning Qi's expression was calm yet firm.
"Let's go, Jiezun, I want to see what's inside, I want to see the methods of the two ancestors, and I want to fulfill my promise to you!"
Ning Qi actually passed through the shadow of the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm in an instant, and there was no physical feeling of collision between the two bodies.
Ning Qi was the first to dive into the portal below.
Behind him, the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm stared at Ning Qi's back, his face showing shock.
"He turned out to be my subordinate..."
The touch just now made him truly sense Ning Qi's identity, but because of this reality, the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm was extremely shocked.
Looking at Ning Qi's determined figure moving forward, the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm felt a variety of emotions in his heart.
He stood there for a moment before following the door into the room.
Maybe, he can really escape!
After all, it is logically impossible for a guy like Ning Qi to get to this point.
But he had come to the Mountain and Sea Realm, concealed it from everyone, even made friends with me, walked right in front of me, and even came to this space where his original body existed...
As soon as the two entered, the door on the portal disappeared instantly.
Ning Qi was in front, and he didn't feel any fear in his heart.
The will of the mountain and sea world noticed his identity and knew that he was also the will of the world, so he thought that he would be suppressed.
However, the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm forgot one thing.
Ning Qi is not only the will of the world, but also a human cultivator, no different from the Mountain Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor!
The feeling of crossing the world boundary wall is extremely long. The portal on the barrier seems to be only a thin layer, but when you actually break into the portal, it is extremely thick.
It was so thick that Ning Qi felt it lasted longer than when his clone first walked out of the sea of boundaries.
Finally, the two walked out of the boundary wall and landed in another space.
Behind him, the patterns on the barrier were still twisting, but the world in front was bright.
Ning Qi did not observe the entire space, but was attracted by a certain place as soon as he appeared!
The whole world is full of vitality, but there is a place in the center that is full of decadence and desolation.
The surrounding area is covered with green grass and sunny, but the center looks like a ruin, a site.
A young sapling was planted in the center, no more than half a meter tall.
It is sickly, half of the tree is yellow and half of it is green, forming a gradual transition.
Ning Qi and the Will of the Mountain and Sea Realm quickly flew towards the center of the world, but as soon as they got ten miles closer to the sapling, a barrier appeared ahead, stopping them both. (End of this chapter)
