Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 994 - 428: Three Realms Merge, Perfect World
Previously on Cultivating with Top Enlightenment...
Within the boundless Sea of Realms, great masses of gray mist surged, faintly revealing a colossal peak.
In the distance, a faint ripple appeared in the gray mist, and Ning Qi emerged in that area of the Sea of Realms, gazing at the giant peak.
Before the immense mountain, he seemed as insignificant as a mere speck of dust.
However, several figures atop the giant peak quickly cast glances in his direction.
Despite Ning Qi's minuscule appearance, at this moment, his presence could not be overlooked by them.
This was because Ning Qi's performance was truly astonishing, so dazzling that these Ancestors, who stood at the pinnacle of the Two Realms, found themselves captivated by his brilliance.
The Sea Ancestor and the Saint Ancestor were confined within the giant peak, yet the Mountain Ancestor graciously permitted them to observe all unfolding events within the Vast Realm.
The Mountain Ancestor had initially intended to subjugate the Vast Realm and sacrifice its inhabitants, but unexpectedly, Ning Qi appeared out of nowhere, completely frustrating his plans.
Consequently, the Sea Ancestor and the Saint Ancestor now grasped the magnitude of Ning Qi's capabilities.
The gaze of the once slightly erratic Sea Ancestor had surprisingly regained a measure of clarity.
Her stunning visage, at some point, had already assumed an expression of profound awe.
"Hehe, Ning Qi..."
She murmured unconsciously, as if struggling to articulate the amazement that had been accumulating within her.
The Sea Ancestor had never conceived that her previous confrontation with the Mountain Ancestor would inadvertently draw in a young cultivator as radiant as the sun.
Flashing through her mind were various past events, and though currently imprisoned, she couldn't help but emit a soft chuckle.
Firstly, witnessing Ning Qi's ability to foil the Mountain Ancestor brought her immense satisfaction, and secondly, she felt gratitude and joy for a past decision she had made.
Back when the Spirit Realm War commenced, she had recognized Ning Qi's exceptional talent and, through forceful means, seized the entire Profound Truth Realm from the Mountain Ancestor’s grasp.
The Sea Ancestor had even dispatched a message via the Mountain and Sea Realm Will to Ning Qi, intending to personally accept him as a disciple, asserting that what she desired, no one else would attain!
Reflecting now, the Sea Ancestor only felt a warmth spread across her cheeks.
Given Ning Qi's current formidable strength, it appeared he had already surpassed both her and the Saint Ancestor, directly challenging the Mountain Ancestor.
Were it not for the Mountain Ancestor’s possession of the formidable Buzhou Mountain inheritance, Ning Qi would likely have even outmatched him.
However, the Sea Ancestor momentarily considered that she had bestowed her own inheritance upon Ning Qi, making her at least a half-master to him.
In a certain sense, Ning Qi was partially her disciple; if she couldn't confront the Mountain Ancestor, but her disciple could, then she, as the fortunate master, could consider herself accomplished.
"Haoshan, you surely never anticipated that this exceptionally gifted young man would surpass us and become the one to ultimately thwart your ambitions, hehe!"
Opposite her, the Mountain Ancestor, his face marred by scars, had retreated into the illusory shadow of Buzhou Mountain.
He landed facing the Saint Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor, his expression darkening, radiating a terrifying killing intent.
"Hmph, Sea of Emotions, your naivety is astounding; no one can impede me. Even if a True Immortal stood in my path, I would tear him apart and press onward!"
The Saint Ancestor shook his head, scoffing, "Such utter arrogance."
The doppelganger he had stationed within the Vast Realm had thoroughly comprehended Ning Qi's situation, and thus, his main body held the same understanding, though he didn't vocalize it.
Even at this very moment, the strength Ning Qi displayed was far from ordinary.
Not to mention, Ning Qi, as the sovereign of the True Martial Spirit Realm, had assimilated the energies from both the Mountain and Sea Realm and the Vast Realm into his own dominion.
The convergence and amalgamation of energies from these Three Realms resulted in an unimaginably immense power.
Yet, presently, the True Martial Spirit Realm, having expanded to far exceed the dimensions of both the Vast Realm and the Mountain and Sea Realm, remained entirely undetectable outside the Sea of Realms – a fact that was itself terrifying.
That young fellow had mastered the art of concealment to an extreme degree!
Therefore, the Saint Ancestor increasingly felt that all events were unfolding precisely as his divinations had predicted.
Ning Qi would undoubtedly alter the course of everything!
Whatever the Mountain Ancestor proclaimed was mere bluster, for his own heart was already succumbing to darkness.
"Whether it is arrogance or not cannot be settled by mere words. You, as the Saint Ancestor of the Vast Realm, have now become my captive. Do you not comprehend your current true standing?"
The Mountain Ancestor spoke with icy indifference.
With that, he terminated his conversation with the other two and ascended into the sky.
With a fierce clap, the Mountain Ancestor brought his palms together. A dark radiance surged forth from his grasp. "Buzhou Heaven!" he declared. Instantly, the entirety of Buzhou Mountain began to swell at an astonishing rate. Moreover, the inner dimension that held the Saint Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor captive contracted with even greater speed. Within this space, a celestial veil seemed to descend, extinguishing all light. Illusory tendrils, reminiscent of gnarled tree roots, silently sprouted from Buzhou Mountain’s spectral form, lashing out with immense power towards the two Ancestors. Simultaneously, a cacophony of rustling sounds arose as countless insects and serpents, their wings beating or shells scraping, tore through the void to manifest within the confined area. Apparitions, spectral figures cloaked in white, drifted down like phantoms. Adding to the terror, myriad creatures resembling skeletal forms or reanimated zombies churned the very earth, advancing upon the Saint Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor. The inner expanse of Buzhou Mountain transformed into a self-contained dimension, teeming with lurking entities, an assembled legion now fully unveiled. The Saint Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor recoiled in shock. The Saint Ancestor’s brow knitted in deep consternation. How could the fabled Sacred Mountain, Buzhou Mountain, harbor such an array of uncanny denizens? He couldn't help but question the efficacy of the Mountain Ancestor's claim to the Buzhou Mountain inheritance. After all, the current spectral manifestation of Buzhou Mountain bore no resemblance to a Sacred Mountain.
