Chapter 474 Discomfort After Becoming an Immortal
The Holy Ancestor chuckled; now that he had become an immortal, he was overjoyed.
Ning Qi and the other man could casually criticize him, and he listened with pleasure.
Compared to the Mountain Ancestor who had previously become an immortal, the Holy Ancestor did not have the arrogant demeanor of an immortal who looked down on those inferior to him as ants.
He knew that without Ning Qi and Hai Zu helping him perfect his immortal cultivation techniques, he would at most only be able to condense a bronze immortal gate.
As for the Golden Immortal Sect? Don't even think about it!
"How are you feeling?" Ning Qi asked.
Haizu was also very curious.
The Holy Ancestor waved his hand and said frankly, "I feel that I am now incredibly strong. If I were to encounter the Mountain Ancestor in his prime again, I would be able to defeat him without any effort."
The two smiled.
Hai Zu laughed and said, "Don't forget that Hao Shan still has the remains of Buzhou Mountain."
This left the Holy Ancestor speechless.
He muttered, "Eliminate all powerful external support."
The two laughed again.
After chatting for a while, the three of them sat around in the void.
The Holy Ancestor voluntarily condensed two strands of immortal power and handed them to Ning Qi and the other person.
They practiced the path of immortality together, and this bond had long since made them inseparable.
No one else would ever so unreservedly share their power with another for them to comprehend.
Because it posed too great a threat to him.
Ning Qihai took it and carefully sensed the Holy Ancestor's current power.
To make a comparison, Ning Qi also extracted three strands of immortal power from the Mountain Ancestor's body and distributed them to the three people.
Immortal power is the most perfect power, without any impurities. Immortals can use it to condense the fruit of the Great Dao.
However, there are still differences between different types of immortal power.
There are differences in the methods of cultivation, and differences in the understanding of the rules that lead to the Great Dao.
Undoubtedly, the Holy Ancestor's golden immortal power was a level higher in quality than the Mountain Ancestor's silver immortal power.
Although the Mountain Ancestor cultivated the legacy of Buzhou Mountain, his legacy was incomplete.
He was not merely inheriting powerful techniques from the past, but creating something entirely new.
The laws cultivated by the Holy Ancestor were different. He had poured all his accumulated knowledge into them, and Ning Qi and Hai Zu had helped him perfect them by referring to many immortal cultivation methods.
Moreover, it is extremely compatible with everything that the Holy Ancestor cultivated before. Therefore, whether in terms of cultivation techniques or the rules and principles he comprehended, the Holy Ancestor has already surpassed the Mountain Ancestor of the past.
His golden immortal power landed in Ning Qi's palm, like a ray of sunshine, full of vitality.
Ning Qi used his Immortal Eye to examine the power closely and discovered that within the immortal power, there were extremely fine divine runes flowing within it.
This is the biggest difference between the Holy Ancestor's immortal power and that of the Mountain Ancestor. The Holy Ancestor's immortal power is not just immortal power; it also includes the Holy Ancestor's divine script.
"Have you found your own path?"
Ning Qi looked up at the Holy Ancestor.
The Holy Ancestor also looked at him and said, "Thanks to the two of you for helping me improve my cultivation technique, although I still have some confusion, I am confident that I will continue to follow my path of divine script."
The Sea Ancestor also felt the Holy Ancestor's golden immortal power, and his heart trembled slightly.
She was of similar strength to the Holy Ancestor before, but she never expected that the Holy Ancestor would change so much.
It's all because of Ning Qi!
It was because of Ning Qi's ingenious ideas and his actions of defying the world by targeting the immortal sects that the Holy Ancestor was able to transform so quickly.
As the Holy Ancestor had said before, if he were to follow his own plan to become an immortal, he would be lucky to even be able to condense the Bronze Immortal Gate.
Hai Zu was somewhat tempted, because her cultivation technique had also been improved by Ning Qi and the other two.
If she were to become an immortal, she should be able to reach the level of the Holy Ancestor.
However, Haizu looked at the young man beside him who was seriously comparing the two kinds of immortal power.
If this guy doesn't want to take that path, she doesn't want to either. She wants to follow him on another path, a fairy path that no one has ever walked before.
After comparing the immortal power, Ning Qi gained a deeper understanding of immortals.
"Let's go back to Wanzun Mountain."
With a wave of his hand, Ning Qi caused the space created specifically for the Holy Ancestor to become an immortal to vanish instantly.
"Hold on!"
The Holy Ancestor suddenly spoke up.
Ning Qi and the other looked over and saw the Holy Ancestor gazing at the Boundary Sea, involuntarily covering his nose with his hand, a look of disgust on his face.
"I understand how that guy feels now. Once you become an immortal, the Boundary Sea is indeed unbearable."
Ning Qi and Hai Zu exchanged a glance.
Ning Qi said, "Even after the Mountain Ancestor became an immortal, he acted in the same way. Could it be that the energy of the Boundary Sea really makes immortals so uncomfortable?"
The Holy Ancestor silently sensed everything within the Boundary Sea.
He even restrained his immortal power and stepped into the Boundary Sea.
"vomit!"
The Holy Ancestor immediately released golden immortal light, shielding the energy of the Boundary Sea from the outside.
"No, my body seems to be naturally resistant to the energy of the Boundary Sea. As soon as I come into contact with it, I feel nauseous and want to vomit, as if..."
“As if what?” Haizu asked.
The Holy Ancestor said, "It's like being with a corpse, filled with the stench of decay and death."
Ning Qi and Hai Zu both frowned.
They also absorbed the golden immortal light, but neither of them became immortals. As a result, they were completely unaware of the energy of the Boundary Sea and were not as averse to it as the Holy Ancestor.
The two even flew separately to the distant Boundary Sea, yet they still did not feel any discomfort.
The two looked at the Holy Ancestor again and found that he was giving them a look of disapproval.
"What? Do you feel that way about us too?"
The Holy Ancestor nodded and then shook his head, saying:
"There is a slight difference, but since your bodies have been baptized by the golden immortal light, it is not very noticeable, as long as you do not intentionally release the energy of the Boundary Sea within your bodies."
Ning Qi and the other person returned to his side.
Ning Qi condensed a gray-black energy at his fingertips and said quite seriously, "Then what about the boundless evil energy?"
The energy he condensed in his hand was boundless evil energy, which was far superior to the energy of the Boundary Sea.
As the Holy Ancestor gazed at the boundless evil energy approaching from Ning Qi's fingertips, his pupils trembled slightly, and golden immortal light erupted from his body, completely enveloping him.
He subconsciously raised his hand, as if he wanted to attack Ning Qi.
But the Holy Ancestor quickly realized something was wrong and stopped the impulse.
"Kid, don't bring this kind of thing near me. For some reason, as soon as I sense this energy, it's as if I'm facing the most evil thing in the world, and I have a desire to completely destroy it."
Seeing this, Ning Qi frowned even more deeply.
He had not forgotten what the Mountain Ancestor Immortal Soul had told him.
It is said that once the immortals discover that Ning Qi possesses boundless evil energy within him, they will surely regard him as a demon and fight him to the death.
Ning Qi originally thought that the Mountain Ancestor was just threatening him, but seeing the Holy Ancestor's reaction, Ning Qi felt that it was probably true.
The Holy Ancestor had a very close relationship with him and would never lay a hand on him.
But the Holy Ancestor's subconscious reaction made Ning Qi realize that probably all the immortals in the entire Immortal Realm would do the same.
This is not because they have a deep-seated hatred for each other, but because of the repulsion between the two energies.
Ning Qi withdrew his boundless evil energy, gazed at the entire Boundary Sea, and thought of many things in an instant.
"Don't worry, we will always stand by your side!"
Hai Zu spoke softly from the side, his tone incredibly firm.
Upon seeing Ning Qi's expression, the Holy Ancestor realized the impact of his previous actions on Ning Qi.
"Kid, don't worry. Even if the entire fairyland attacks you, I will still fight them."
Both of them knew exactly where the boundless evil energy in Ning Qi's body came from. Ning Qi fused with the boundless evil energy in order to save the two realms and completely stop the Mountain Ancestor.
Whatever power you have, if you use it to save others, then it is a good thing!
Like knives, spears, and halberds, bad people use them to bully the weak, while good people use them to uphold justice.
Ning Qi surveyed the entire Boundary Sea and smiled:
"I'm not that fragile. So what if the whole world is against me? I'm just thinking about one thing."
The Holy Ancestor asked curiously, "What is it?"
"It is said that the birth of the Boundary Sea led to the disintegration of the Immortal Realm. Now the Boundary Sea is boundless. Whether it is our world or the lofty Immortal Realm, they are all within the Boundary Sea and face its invasion."
"The immortals above despise the energy of the Boundary Sea so much, yet for countless millennia they have never found a way to resolve it. What do you think will happen if the Boundary Sea continues to develop as it is?"
Hai Zu gazed at the Boundary Sea with icy eyes and said in a deep voice:
"I'm afraid the fairyland will shrink more and more, until there is no space left for immortals to live."
The Holy Ancestor's heart stirred; the joy of having just become an immortal was replaced by a heavy sense of unease.
He couldn't help but think of the scene when he was examined in front of the Immortal Gate. Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer cultivators who can become immortals, and the Upper Immortal Realm is still so strict.
If the immortals are truly fighting against the evil beings existing in the Boundary Sea, the Immortal Realm will certainly not be unscathed.
The Holy Ancestor not only saw the evil beings that existed in the Boundary Sea, but even summoned them to deal with the attack from the Mountain and Sea Realm.
Those twisted monsters were no longer individual life forms, but rather the product of the combined remains of deceased creatures.
With one side gaining and the other losing, it's really hard to say what the future holds for the fairyland and those immortals.
"Alright, let's go back to the True Martial Spirit Realm first."
Ning Qi used his spatial teleportation ability to simultaneously cover the two people, and the three figures instantly disappeared into the Boundary Sea.
Inside Wanzun Mountain.
Ning Qi and his two companions reappeared in the Enlightenment Plaza.
After becoming an immortal, the Holy Ancestor passed through the Boundary Sea and then the True Martial Spirit Realm. His obsessive-compulsive disorder about cleanliness had noticeably improved after becoming an immortal.
Once inside Wanzun Mountain, he had fully recovered.
"This place is so much better; all the discomfort I felt before has completely disappeared."
The Holy Ancestor sighed.
"Fortunately, the Realm Lord transformed the remains of Mount Buzhou into Mount Wanzun, where the immortal herbs and trees regained their vitality, making this place almost like a fairyland. Otherwise, I think you, Holy Lord, would still feel uncomfortable."
Haizu joked.
The Holy Ancestor did not deny that becoming an immortal was good, but troubles would also follow.
No wonder all those who become immortals leave the world and go to the fairyland; otherwise, the environment alone would be too much for even immortals to endure.
Fortunately, Ning Qi's True Martial Spirit Realm was powerful enough, and after absorbing the remnants of Buzhou Mountain, he created a fairyland-like place, which allowed the Holy Ancestor to settle down.
The Holy Ancestor's worries subsided slightly, but another thought popped into his head. After thinking for a moment, he still asked:
"Boy, we've caused such a huge mess, will the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm hold us accountable?"
Even after becoming an immortal, the Holy Ancestor still wanted to consult Ning Qi on matters of the future, and to have him as the primary decision-maker.
There's no way around it, Ning Qi is just too good at causing trouble!
The Holy Ancestor felt that he was like a green recruit in front of him and had no choice but to submit.
Ning Qi remained calm.
"We'll meet force with force and water with earth. What's there to be afraid of? But did they tell you the location of the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm in the end?"
Ning Qi was quite interested in where the Great Wilderness Wonderland was located in the Boundary Sea.
Now, thanks to his previous spying at the Immortal Gate, he has finally gained some valuable information about the Boundary Sea.
The two True Immortals behind the Immortal Gate said that the area they were in was the Fifteenth District of the Far Eastern Boundary Sea, and Ning Qi finally had a true location for the True Martial Spirit Realm.
The Holy Ancestor shook his head.
"After the Immortal Gate was fully opened, they discovered your existence and became wary of me. They didn't tell me the route to the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm at all."
Ning Qi frowned slightly; this was not a good situation.
The Holy Ancestor then asked, "What exactly was that key you took out back then?"
The Holy Ancestor will probably never forget what happened in front of the Immortal Gate.
That golden key could plunder the energy behind the immortal gate, causing that pavilion in the upper realm to collapse as a result.
Ning Qi took it out of his storage space and showed it to the two of them.
"This item is a treasure I obtained when I was exploring the Xuanzhen Domain of the Mountain and Sea Realm. It can suppress boundless evil energy. I never expected that it would also seem to be related to the Upper Realm."
The key floated in the void, and as if released by Ning Qi, it automatically shone with golden light.
It is no longer as aloof and mysterious as before, but has clearly gained a more lively feel.
The Holy Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor were examining the golden key. Before the Sea Ancestor could say anything, the Holy Ancestor suddenly spoke:
"For some reason, when I look at this object now, I always feel a deep sense of reverence, as if its origin is quite noble..."
Ning Qi was taken aback.
Have you ever felt this way before?
The Holy Ancestor shook his head, his expression extremely solemn, and said, "I didn't have this feeling before, but only after becoming an immortal did I experience this strange sensation."
"After becoming an immortal?" Ning Qi recalled the last words left by the golden key and asked the two, "Have you ever heard of the Golden Immortal Clan?"
"The Golden Immortal Clan?"
Both the Holy Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor were clearly hearing this for the first time, and they all shook their heads.
"Is it some kind of race from the upper realm?"
Seeing that neither of them knew, Ning Qi became even more curious about the words "Golden Immortal Clan".
Suddenly, the Holy Ancestor pointed to the cliff face next to the Enlightenment Square, which was carved with many martial arts techniques.
"Let's see if there is any relevant information left on the cliff of Buzhou Mountain."
So the three of them unleashed their spiritual senses and began to search, leaving no corner of the cliff face unchecked.
Even after examining all the inscriptions and paintings on the cliff face, the three of them did not find any mention of the Golden Immortal Clan.
"Unfortunately, these four characters seem to have a very important origin, but they have probably been lost in the long river of history."
Ning Qi collected the golden key.
At that moment, the golden key trembled in his hand, suddenly shooting out a ray of golden immortal light, and then engraving a line of words in the void.
"The location of the Great Wilderness Wonderland."
The moment those words revealed their meaning, they abruptly transformed into a map of the boundary sea, appearing in the void.
Ning Qi and the other two quickly looked over and instantly discerned the direction leading to the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm.
"What...what does it mean?"
The Holy Ancestor Haizu was surprised.
Ning Qi looked at the golden key in his hand, feeling its slight vibration, and seemed to understand its meaning.
"This guy is hungry again and wants us to go to the Great Wilderness Wonderland to get more immortal power for him."
Hai Zu frowned and said, "This thing is too strange. I think you should be careful, Realm Lord."
Ning Qi nodded.
"Don't worry, given the power it has shown before, it would be easy for it to deal with us. Keeping it alive is actually more advantageous for us at the moment."
After the golden key released its signal, all was calm.
Ning Qi pinched it several times, but it pretended to be dead and ignored him completely.
Ning Qi had no choice but to put it back into his storage space.
The Holy Ancestor carefully examined the map that had not yet dissipated in the void and said:
"It probably already noted down the coordinates of the other party when it plundered the immortal power of the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm. This has helped us find the answer to the question we wanted to know."
The two True Immortals who monitored the Immortal Sect in the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm had not told him how to get there, but now he did.
However, even just by looking at it, the Holy Ancestor frowned, as it was far too far.
"No wonder the Mountain Ancestor once said that after becoming an immortal, one will face even more problems."
