Ning Qi renamed Buzhou Mountain to Wanzun Mountain.
Ning Qi does not intend to continue to regard it as the sacred mountain of the past, nor will he take pride in obtaining its inheritance or regard his status as its successor as the mountain ancestor did.
The identity of the successor of Buzhou Mountain is extremely valuable, and it still holds value even today.
Ning Qi witnessed this firsthand.
In the process of consolidating the immortal sect and becoming an immortal, the Mountain Ancestor used his identity as a successor of Buzhou Mountain to prevent the Silver Immortal Sect from continuing to retreat, and thus obtained the Full Moon Immortal Body.
Within Ning Qi's soul, the imprisoned Mountain Ancestor vaguely sensed what was happening outside.
Upon hearing that Ning Qi had stripped Buzhou Mountain of its name and renamed it Wanzun Mountain.
The immortal soul of the Mountain Ancestor couldn't help but mutter to itself within the Great Dao's cage:
"They've gone mad, truly gone mad. Mount Buzhou has a history spanning ancient and modern times, and the karma associated with it is incredibly heavy. Let alone a cultivator at the Dao Integration Realm, even a True Immortal or Celestial Immortal would probably not dare to erase its true name. Anyone who dares to change its name will surely suffer a terrible calamity."
However, considering that Ning Qi already had enemies all over the world and had no hope of becoming an immortal, he said helplessly:
"This kid was destined to die anyway, so it doesn't matter!"
Ning Qi was too lazy to pay him any attention.
He, along with the Holy Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor, entered the interior of Ten Thousand Venerable Mountain, suspended high in the sky, overlooking the entire world.
As Ning Qi extracted all the energy from the boundary sea within it, he then used the remaining life force from the True Martial Spirit Realm to nourish the mountain.
Previously, the entire interior was black.
The black, withered grass was scattered haphazardly across the grasslands and forests.
Within the mountains and forests, every tree, regardless of size, stood bare, appearing incredibly desolate and barren.
The rivers flowing through them resembled disgusting, stagnant water, creating an extremely unpleasant experience.
Inside the entire wrecked body, no living beings survived; all things were annihilated.
Now, thanks to Ning Qi's renovation, Wanzun Mountain has been transformed from a desolate place.
Grass sprouts, flowers bloom, and trees grow tall and majestic...
The black rivers have become clear again, and plains, hills, plateaus, and deserts have all regained their vitality.
What surprised the three even more was that many of the flowers, plants, and trees that had regrown inside Wanzun Mountain were legendary immortal herbs and trees.
"Could that be a lotus born from the true immortal...?"
The Holy Ancestor pointed to a golden lotus blooming in a pond below and exclaimed in surprise.
Ning Qi and Hai Zu looked in the direction he pointed.
All that could be seen was a pond with calm, clear water, and golden lotuses just beginning to bloom.
They have just emerged from the water, their lotus branches and leaves sprouting, the lotus flowers blooming in pairs, emitting a faint golden glow.
The golden light resembled a true immortal sitting cross-legged in a lotus flower, hence the name "True Immortal Lotus".
The Holy Ancestor had only seen an image of this object in the Ancient Sacred Map, never expecting it to appear in the Ten Thousand Venerable Mountain.
The three of them descended from the sky and landed by the pond.
Instantly, a sweet fragrance wafted into their nostrils, penetrating their very being. The three of them were instantly relieved of their fatigue from the past few days, and even their very souls were calmed by the fragrance.
Hai Zu benefited especially from this, since she was deeply influenced by the energy of the Boundary Sea and found it most difficult to calm her mind.
However, she instantly calmed down, as if she had returned to the state of mind she had when she was a young girl.
"The True Immortal Lotus is said to be a celestial product cultivated by a great master in the celestial realm who loves planting. A single flower can allow one to experience the state of mind of a true immortal, and a single lotus seed can wash away the inner demons on the path to immortality. It is extremely precious."
The Holy Ancestor spoke eloquently.
Ning Qi and Hai Zu listened very attentively.
The three of them then looked around.
The Holy Ancestor pointed to a large tree resembling a locust tree, with a trunk like the round belly of an Arhat, but leaves as red as blood, and said:
"Could that be the Blood-Stained Locust Tree of Rebirth?"
"What is the purpose of this item? Its name sounds quite extraordinary," Ning Qi inquired.
"Its trunk is like a belly, its leaves are like blood, and it blooms once every hundred years. The blood-red locust flowers produce a kind of immortal liquid called Blood Dew. A single drop can bring a dying person back to life and give them another life! Of course, this only works on cultivators below the Immortal Realm."
Upon hearing this, Ning Qi nodded.
"Indeed, it is thanks to your erudition that we two have been able to appreciate these divine objects."
Ning Qi was also puzzled.
This Wanzun Mountain was previously invaded by the energy of the Boundary Sea, and all life was extinguished. It had no idea that after all the energy of the Boundary Sea was extracted and the life force within it was restored, so many immortal herbs, immortal medicines and immortal trees would grow.
It must be said that these things alone show how glorious and powerful Buzhou Mountain was back then.
This is not a fairyland, but it still has rare and precious plants, which have now benefited Ning Qi and his group.
Upon seeing everything outside, the mountain ancestor within Ning Qi's soul couldn't help but feel a surge of frustration.
"All of this should have been mine, it should have been mine!"
But he forgot one thing: the remnant of Mount Buzhou had been eroded by the energy of the Boundary Sea for countless years, and even if it were still in his hands, he could not solve the problem.
Ning Qi and his two companions continued to explore the inner world of Wanzun Mountain, which had just been restored to life.
From the True Immortal Lotus just now to the Blood Locust Tree of Rebirth, and now to the tree in front of them that still has a black bark.
"What kind of tree is this?" Haizu asked.
The Holy Ancestor examined the trees before him for a long while before responding:
"The tree's bark is dark, but its leaves resemble those of a peach tree, and the fruits hanging between its leaves faintly shimmer with lightning..."
"If I'm not mistaken, it should be the Thunder Peach Substitute Wood."
The name immediately piqued the interest of both Ning Qi and Hai Zu.
"Substitute tribulation? Is it the substitute tribulation that we cultivators undergo when we undergo tribulation?"
"That's right. As long as you eat one of its lightning fruits beforehand and hold the pit in your mouth, it can protect you from a lightning tribulation at a critical moment!"
Haizu's icy blue eyes gleamed with an unusual light.
"This is too miraculous."
When cultivators undergo tribulations, no one can help them; they must rely entirely on themselves.
But it's simply unbelievable that this Lei Tao Ti Jie Mu (雷桃替劫木) has such effects.
The three of them explored the inner world, admiring all the flowers, plants, and magical trees, their hearts filled with delight.
"Lord of the Realm, with this Ten Thousand Venerable Mountain, the path to immortality is within reach for cultivators of the True Martial Spirit Realm."
"Yes, back then we never had so many good things to enjoy. Now, immortal herbs are everywhere and immortal trees form peaks. As long as the spiritual power of the True Martial Spirit Realm is sufficient and as long as Ten Thousand Venerable Mountain is fully restored, then there will be inexhaustible immortal resources."
Both Haizu and Shengzu sighed.
Ning Qi nodded slightly, a smile on his face.
The products found within the Ten Thousand Mountain were an unexpected delight for him.
So many celestial treasures could not be found in either the small world or the spirit world.
Unexpectedly, so many seeds were left in Wanzun Mountain. Now that the environment has improved, they have sprouted and grown again.
Ning Qi carefully calculated in his mind that the combined value of these immortal items was probably more precious than all the supplies obtained in the entire Spirit Realm War.
The three eventually stopped at the center of the world.
A solitary peak stood before them, far more majestic and imposing than any mountain they had ever seen.
At the foot of the solitary peak, numerous celestial objects appeared, but these plants were even more bizarre and rare than those they had seen before, leaving the three of them almost dumbfounded.
Before the three of them, the grass and trees were half black and half green, constantly changing colors, as if night and day were alternating.
"This place is probably where the energy of the Boundary Sea and the aura of immortals clash most intensely, which is why the plants and trees here have mutated," the Sea Ancestor murmured.
Although Ning Qi extracted the energy from the Boundary Sea within, some plants inevitably mutated due to the constant impact of the two energies in the past.
Now that they have been reborn, they have changed their appearance.
"It's a pity that so many immortal treasures have been corrupted by the energy of the Boundary Sea. What a waste!" the Holy Ancestor sighed.
Ning Qi stared at the mutated plants, his eyes filled with contemplation.
He suddenly said, "That's not necessarily true!"
The two looked surprised. "What do you mean by that?"
Ning Qi said slowly, "The plants and trees here mutated due to the impact of two types of energy, yet they still survived. Doesn't that prove their value?"
The Holy Ancestor frowned and said, "You mean?"
Haizu, on the contrary, understood immediately. She reached out and plucked a blade of grass, feeling the energy within it.
"This herb contains both immortal power and the power of the Boundary Sea, the two strangely fused together. For ordinary cultivators, these herbs may have no use, but for someone like me, they are like treasures!"
"Huh?" The Holy Ancestor paused for a moment before realizing what he meant. "I understand!"
Since these plants can neutralize two types of energy, they are naturally rare treasures.
The Holy Ancestor couldn't help but recall what Ning Qi had said before, as well as the scene of the Mountain Ancestor becoming an immortal.
Few places in this world can escape the invasion of the Boundary Sea. If one day the entire world is invaded by the Boundary Sea, then the immortals of the celestial realm who were once high above and free from the Boundary Sea will probably find it difficult to survive.
And these plants and trees might be able to help them...
However, we'll have to wait and see for now.
At least for now, these plants, which contain both types of energy, are not only helpful to Ning Qi, but also beneficial to Hai Zu, who has integrated the energy of the Boundary Sea.
Hai Zu did not forget Ning Qi's words that he wanted to explore a new path to immortality. Perhaps, even if he were invaded by the Boundary Sea in the future, he could still become an immortal.
Hai Zu even vaguely felt that if Ning Qi succeeded in his exploration, it would affect all living beings in the Boundary Sea.
"These plants are neither celestial beings nor creatures from the Boundary Sea, so what should we call them?"
The Holy Ancestor frowned.
Ning Qi felt a sense of unease and said softly, "Let's call them Chaos Grass and Chaos Wood."
"That's a wonderful idea!"
The three stopped worrying about the mutated immortal herbs and trees and turned their attention to the solitary peak further behind them.
Even though all three possessed the eyes of immortals, they seemed unable to see the top of him at a glance.
Dufeng Peak is like a broken Tower of Babel, standing on the earth below and reaching the heavens above. Just one glance at it gives people a special feeling.
It's as if this mountain can only be climbed, not flown over!
As the three approached the peak, a rich aura of immortality emanated from it.
It was as if the entire mountain peak was not of this world, but a celestial peak that had fallen from the heavens!
Feeling the intoxicating aura of immortality emanating from it, the Holy Ancestor felt as if he were floating on air, as if he had truly ascended to the celestial realm.
"After so many years, this solitary peak still retains so much immortal power."
The immortal power atop this immortal peak far surpasses the immortal power within the body of the Mountain Ancestor Immortal.
No wonder the Mountain Ancestor generated so much immortal power in his body after devouring Mount Buzhou during their previous battle; it all originated from this.
If it weren't for the constant struggle between these immortal powers and the invading energy of the Boundary Sea, the Mountain Ancestor might have been able to draw upon even more immortal power from it, making the outcome of the previous war uncertain.
Hai Zu Zhu's lips curled up, revealing a malicious smile. She said, "If Hao Shan knew everything that happened here, he would probably regret it so much he'd be dying inside!"
"Don't worry, he can see now!" Ning Qi replied.
Ning Qi released part of the restriction on the Mountain Ancestor's soul, allowing the Mountain Ancestor to see everything in the outside world more clearly.
Undoubtedly, the Mountain Ancestor, who had just been vaguely aware of the situation, was so angry that his immortal soul almost spontaneously combusted.
"Damn it, damn it, all of this should be mine!"
He dared not offend Ning Qi any further, and could only vent his frustration with a few shouts in such a humble manner.
"Mountains within mountains, boundaries within boundaries, truly worthy of being the former Buzhou Mountain, indeed remarkable!" The Holy Ancestor also praised it highly.
Ning Qi was in front, and he formed a hand seal.
"open!"
Instantly, a defensive shield was released from the mountain peak that resembled a tower reaching to the heavens.
An even richer aura of immortal power emanated from the solitary peak, spreading outwards like the sun shining upon the earth.
In an instant, the chaotic plants and trees at the foot of the surrounding mountains began to shimmer with light under the influence of immortal power.
The group glanced at it and exclaimed in surprise again.
Ning Qi then said to the two, "Although this mountain is incomplete, it is quite mysterious. I have explored it before. There is a cliff on one side with murals engraved on it, which are of great research value, no less than the inheritance that the mountain ancestor once received."
The Holy Ancestor was particularly fond of calligraphy and painting, finding them fascinating and expressing his longing for them.
"Wow, that's quite unusual!"
Ning Qi then led the two of them to the other side, the side with the cliff.
After the energy of the Boundary Sea disappeared, the immortal power within this peak was fully unleashed, and the cliff face became noticeably more vibrant than when Ning Qi had previously explored it.
The three of them stood before the cliff face, observing it from a distance.
"The Six Paths Immortal Wheel? Isn't that the divine power that the Mountain Ancestor used at the end? And it's just carved into the cliff face like that?"
“The Zhou Tian Immortal Guidance True Scripture…” Hai Zu murmured, gazing at another spot, “This must also be the cultivation method Hao Shan practiced.”
The two of them were completely absorbed in observing the murals.
Ning Qi had already seen it before. After thinking about it, he simply took out the Ancient Dao Sacred Diagram of the Holy Ancestor as well.
"go!"
With a soft shout, the ancient sacred map flew towards the cliff face and embedded itself in a blank section of the cliff.
“Let this map remain here,” Ning Qi said, his gaze sweeping over the two of them. “Are you two satisfied with this world?”
Ning Qi's voice startled the two of them awake.
The two then remembered what Ning Qi had said earlier.
Ning Qi said that he would make this mountain their residence and would give some places to the beings of the True Martial Spirit Realm to come in and listen to their teachings.
The two were naturally happy to spread the word, after all, they were also considered part of the True Martial Spirit Realm, and they should do something beneficial.
As for this mountain becoming their dwelling place... they would be more than happy to do so!
For a moment, the two of them also felt like other cultivators in their two realms; to them, this place was the immortal realm of cultivation.
They really don't want to leave if anyone tries to send them anywhere else.
"Lord of the Realm, we accept your kindness!"
The two then bowed to Ning Qi in thanks.
"Alright, since you're willing to stay here, I'll tell you one more thing."
Ning Qi suddenly revealed a playful smile.
Seeing his expression, the two of them felt a chill run down their spines.
"What is it?" (End of Chapter)
