"A demon?"
When the topic of the human demon was mentioned, Wei Xianlin's expression became noticeably unnatural.
"What would you do if I said yes?" Ning Qi asked playfully.
Wei Xian and Lin Chen exchanged a glance, and Wei Xian said:
"If you are truly a demon, this pool is too deep for us to join you."
Although the two have not yet seen the Human Demon, they are very familiar with its name.
The Human Demon is a celestial being transformed into a demon; those in the celestial realm who encounter it will surely kill it.
There's no other reason than that the demons and humans seem to have caused the collapse of the immortal realm in the past, and now they also threaten the existence of the immortal realm.
Ning Qi said:
"Since you are all demons, why don't you attack me together?"
Wei Xian gazed at him and replied:
"You jest. I observe that although you possess boundless evil energy, your actions do not resemble those of a demon."
Of course, they had just fought Ning Qi and both were defeated. How could they possibly turn the tide if they attacked again?
"Besides, we two have seen too much evil in the world. Evil is just a tool, like a sword. If it is in the hands of a good person, it will be to the good person's advantage."
Wei Xian's statement was not an attempt to curry favor with Ning Qi.
He was doing the same thing; he had previously manipulated the energy of the Boundary Sea to deal with Ning Qi.
Both the energy of the Boundary Sea and the evil energy are hated by immortals; the difference between the two is not significant.
Ning Qi stopped probing the two and nodded, saying:
“I completely agree with what you said. I am not a human demon, but the master of the True Martial Spirit Realm. As for this evil aura, it is a product of the fusion I had to undergo during my last battle with an immortal who wanted to sacrifice all living beings.”
"The Lord of the True Martial Spirit Realm, sacrificing all living beings to merge with evil energy?"
Upon hearing this, the two were stunned.
Regardless, the things about this guy in front of them made the two of them very eager to explore.
The two men's expressions relaxed.
"In that case, we will keep our promise and join you."
"You won't regret it," the Holy Ancestor comforted him.
Ning Qi held the light gray remains of Mount Buzhou in his hands.
"Come with me. Since you two are willing to join, come and take a look at our world."
After saying that, Ning Qi used his spatial teleportation technique to move everyone into the True Martial Spirit Realm.
The world changed, and the world before everyone's eyes alternated between darkness and light in the blink of an eye.
Within the True Martial Spirit Realm.
Originally, Ning Qi had uprooted Wanzun Mountain to make way for the previous bet, causing the central continent of the True Martial Spirit Realm to become empty.
The beings within the realm were naturally astonished by this.
Only the Sword Ancestor and others had an understanding.
Ning Qi had previously informed some of them that enemies would be coming to the Boundary Sea, and that they should prepare for battle.
Sword Ancestor and the others sharpened their swords, and the disappearance of Ten Thousand Venerable Mountain meant that an enemy had appeared. They silently awaited Ning Qi's summons.
But Ning Qi did not summon them, no matter how long they waited. Fortunately, they trusted Ning Qi, otherwise they would not have been able to sit down in peace.
At that very moment, the Wanzun Mountain, which had just disappeared, returned to the center of the True Martial Spirit Realm, as if it had never vanished.
Sword Ancestor and the others immediately took to the air and looked toward the center.
Ning Qi had returned, and to their surprise, two figures appeared beside him.
"Have they captured them? Those two...could they also be immortals...?"
Filled with doubt, the group flew rapidly toward Ning Qi and his companions.
Ning Qi and four others were suspended high in the air.
Wei Xian and Lin Chen said nothing, but instead looked down at the True Martial Spirit Realm.
The two men's eyes were filled with the image of ninety-nine vast mountain and water dragon veins that stretched across the entire continent, causing their pupils to dizzy with shock.
This world is extraordinary; they have never seen such a perfect world before!
The rest of the world is a creation of nature, a landscape of natural beauty.
However, the existence of various powerful beings, including cultivators, will cause many problems for the world.
For example, some places are suitable for living, while others are riddled with holes...
Some blessed lands are occupied by the strong, and the weak cannot approach them. In other places, there are desolate areas where many people are unable to escape and struggle to survive.
The world doesn't automatically fix everything, but Wei Xian and his companion have now witnessed a perfectly formed world, suitable for everyone to live in.
This is terrifying!
To achieve this, it would at least mean that Ning Qi has the ability to create worlds, something even immortals cannot do.
After all, creation is one thing, destruction is another.
Immortals may be able to destroy the world, but they cannot create it.
The two were deeply shaken as they examined the entire structure and then observed the other features within the boundary.
They are not yet able to walk freely, but their appearance leaves traces, from which many things can be deduced.
No matter how well Ning Qi and the other two spoke before, they still had to see for themselves how the creatures in the spirit world were living.
Because the living conditions of the weak can completely expose the flaws in Ning Qi's flowery words.
Even if the world is perfect, if the people under Ning Qi's command live a miserable life, then Ning Qi is definitely not telling the truth and is not someone to be followed.
If someone is this cruel to their own people, then no matter how well they disguise themselves, you still have to be wary of them.
Wei Xianlin Chen had been venturing into the Boundary Sea for a long time and had witnessed many injustices. He found that bad people who were good at disguising themselves were more disgusting than those who were purely evil.
Before Ning Qi could speak, the Holy Ancestor introduced the two of them:
“The True Martial Spirit Realm was originally a small world beneath the Spirit Realm. The reason it is so large now is because it has merged with two other Spirit Realms.”
"It has merged with two other spirit realms?" Wei Xian immediately became interested.
This means that there are now three realms of beings within the True Martial Spirit Realm.
The Three Realms represent three major powers, making them prone to conflict and friction.
If there is constant friction among the beings of the Three Realms, and Ning Qi's excessive favoritism towards the natives reveals how Ning Qi treats outsiders.
Although Wei Xianlin Chen was determined to join Ning Qi's camp, he still wanted to know what kind of person Ning Qi was and whether he was worth following.
The Sea Ancestor, who had remained silent until now, parted his lips slightly and said, "One is the Vast Realm led by the Holy Venerable, and the other is the Mountain and Sea Realm where I reside."
The two nodded slightly upon hearing this.
"When did you two join the True Martial Spirit Realm?"
Wei Xian inquired.
Seeing the three of them so close, he and Lin Chen always assumed they were friends of many years.
Hai Zu smiled and said, "It will probably be a little over a month. After all, our two worlds spent a lot of time in the previous war. If it weren't for Ning Qi, both worlds would have been destroyed."
Her icy eyes, which held a hint of coldness, turned to Ning Qi with a touch of warmth.
"He is the hero who saved both worlds!"
Wei Xianlin was even more curious.
If what the two people said is true, that the great war had just occurred and the three realms had just merged, then that would be even better, as the state of the beings within would be extremely realistic.
Just then, Sword Ancestor and many other people Ning Qi knew flew to this place.
They were already within the Zhenwu Immortal Sect.
Since Ning Qi placed Wanzun Mountain on the Zhenwu Spirit Realm Continent, Wanzun Mountain has become the center of the Zhenwu Spirit Realm Continent.
Ning Qi then dispersed the True Martial Immortal Sect, which was originally suspended high in the sky, around Mount Wanzun to show respect for the Holy Ancestor Haizu who resided within Mount Wanzun.
From then on, the True Martial Immortal Sect was no longer the center of the True Martial Spirit Realm; Ten Thousand Venerable Mountain was.
Sword Ancestor and the others turned their gazes and stared at Wei Xian and Lin Chen, but remained silent.
Seeing this, Ning Qi explained:
"You need not worry. From now on, the True Martial Spirit Realm will welcome two more True Immortals."
Upon hearing this, the Sword Ancestor and the others were all shaken.
Everyone concealed their surprise, even though their hearts were filled with turmoil.
"Two more True Immortals? Is the Realm Lord a succubus? That's incredible. He just went out for a bit, and they've already joined us?"
They naturally knew that things would not be so simple, and that another great battle between immortal cultivators would surely follow.
Ning Qi introduced the two of them:
"This one is True Immortal Wei Xian, and the other one is True Immortal Lin Chen."
"Greetings to the two True Immortals!" the crowd said, bowing.
Wei Xianlin returned the greeting with a cupped hand, showing no airs whatsoever.
This scene naturally put everyone at ease and made them feel much more comfortable.
Of course, Wei Xianlin was also observing everyone.
Seeing Ning Qi treat everyone so kindly, they felt no fear of him, their emotions were natural, and they increasingly believed what Ning Qi said.
Ning Qi said, "Since you're here, you can come along."
Everyone nodded quickly.
Ning Qi continued, "We'll go into Wanzun Mountain now and fuse the two pieces of the body together."
A layer of radiant light emanated from him, enveloping everyone present, who then vanished into thin air.
Inside Wanzun Mountain.
Flowers and trees are planted in rows, and paths crisscross the fields.
Patches of celestial herbs and flowers are covered with dew formed from celestial energy, and the ancient trees are lush and verdant, creating a picturesque scene.
Sword Ancestor and the others wore expressions of enjoyment.
Life is revived within Wanzun Mountain, and immortal energy is circulating. These cultivators from the immortal realm seem to feel every cell in their body rejoice with every breath they take.
It's like a starving person suddenly having a table full of delicacies placed in front of them; the sense of satisfaction is indescribable.
Wei Xian and Lin Chen were deeply moved as they gazed at the vibrant scene within Wanzun Mountain.
"Isn't this place absolutely heavenly?"
Look at them, and then look at themselves.
Both of them possess the remnants of Buzhou Mountain. Ning Qi only recently obtained them, while Wei Xian and the other two have had them for over a thousand years.
For thousands of years, Wei Xian had never been able to develop the world within Buzhou Mountain into such a magnificent sight, nor had he been able to completely dispel the energy of the boundary sea within it.
Wei Xian felt quite ashamed about this, as if the remains of Buzhou Mountain in his hands were nothing more than a precious sword in the hands of a mediocre person, suffering injustice.
Ning Qi, holding the light gray remains of Buzhou Mountain that Wei Xian had lost to him, said to Wei Xian and Ning Qi with a meaningful expression:
"Afterwards, you will be able to stay and cultivate within it, just like the Holy Venerable and the Sea Venerable. Before you merge with the mountain, I would like to ask if there are any of your belongings left in the mountain world?"
Wei Xian and the other person exchanged a glance and both shook their heads.
"Don't worry, I've already removed the important parts."
He understood what Ning Qi was trying to say: he renamed the remains of Buzhou Mountain to Linglong Mountain because he placed the remains of his beloved there.
In their previous battle, Wei Xian used the power of the Seven Emotions Dao Fruit to make Ning Qi experience a Wei Xian illusion, which made him realize that Linglong was his beloved, so he deliberately asked her about it.
Seeing this, Ning Qi nodded slightly.
Two forces from his body were released from his palm, forming a small Yin-Yang diagram.
Instantly, the light gray remnant of Mount Buzhou began to spin rapidly in his palm.
The powerful immortal energy and centrifugal force permeated the remains of Mount Buzhou, and all the remaining energy of the Boundary Sea within it was absorbed into the Yin-Yang Dao Diagram.
Finally, the light gray remains of Mount Buzhou were restored to their original state, showing no signs of decay.
Ning Qi flicked his wrist and tossed the remains away. In an instant, the mangled remains flew out and grew larger and larger in front of everyone.
It emitted a blue light that flickered, seemingly echoing and responding to Wanzun Mountain.
The entire Wanzun Mountain also erupted with boundless light, echoing its response.
"melt!"
Ning Qi gave a soft shout.
Suddenly, a powerful spatial fluctuation emanated from the remains, flying towards the center of Wanzun Mountain.
It rests atop the central peak, casting down hazy ripples of space.
The entire Wanzun Mountain began to rumble and shake.
As everyone hovered high in the sky, they saw that Wanzun Mountain seemed to have its own life and suddenly came to life.
The mountains are growing, and the grasslands, plains, and rivers are expanding. An extremely rich immortal power emanates from the central peak and spreads in all directions.
Originally, there were no buildings inside, but now everyone saw houses appearing on the plains, mountains, and riverbanks, with a rather ancient style.
Many of the houses, buildings, and pavilions are somewhat dilapidated.
Ning Qi's power surged, and he used the power of the world to repair all the dilapidated houses, buildings, and palaces one by one.
The Holy Ancestor couldn't help but ask, "Is this what the body of Fellow Daoist Wei looks like?"
Wei Xian replied, "That's right, but compared to before, Fellow Daoist Ning has now been able to repair it and restore its ancient appearance!"
Lin Chen watched as the pavilion rose and the willows along the lake shore swayed gently.
Ning Qi even restored the smallest details, such as the stone steps and landscape of the plaza, so that the former disciples' quarters, alchemy pavilion, and weapon-refining workshop of Buzhou Mountain could be restored one by one.
As they walked along, they watched the spectacle, exclaiming in amazement.
"As expected of the legendary Buzhou Mountain, its previous remains were no different from a small world. Now that the two remains have been merged, it is probably worthy of being called a spirit world."
"Another spirit realm? Does that mean my True Martial Spirit Realm has merged with three worlds?"
Sword Ancestor and the others ignored Ning Qi and the others' presence and continued their discussion.
"None of these matter. Isn't the most important thing the illusion and immortal power within it?"
"What are these small worlds and spirit realms? How can they contain so many celestial objects and so much celestial power? The environment within them is the most important factor!"
"Not only can immortals reside here, but those of us who have not yet become immortals can also benefit greatly."
Clearly, the existence of this Wanzun Mountain must be the residence of the immortals of the True Martial Spirit Realm, and also a place for Dao-merging cultivators to further their studies.
Many people flew down from the clouds and entered the palaces and pavilions inside, instantly making Wanzun Mountain more lively.
"Having lived for so long, to be able to witness the relics left behind by the ancient times, I can say that my life has not been in vain."
Jiang Ruhai, a former elder of the Wuji Sword Sect, stroked his beard and said.
Vice Sect Master Cang Wanhe nodded in agreement, "As long as we survive, we'll see even more in the future. It's the Sect Master who has broadened the horizons of us old folks!"
Everyone laughed.
Ning Qi and his group also entered the ancient palace.
Observe the layout of each house and the function of each pavilion.
Fang Ningqi wasn't particularly interested in these former disciples of Buzhou Mountain, but he was quite interested in the alchemy pavilion, the weapon-refining workshop, and one of the scripture pavilions.
Wei Xian instructed:
"The cultivation methods we both practice are in the Scripture Pavilion. Fellow Daoist Ning, you are welcome to take a look. As for the items in the Alchemy Pavilion and Weapon Forging Workshop, we've wrecked quite a bit of them over the years, and almost nothing remains. However, there are still some sealed places that we are unable to open." (End of Chapter)
