Full level of enlightenment: I achieved Daozu by ascending to the lower realm

Chapter 405 handed over to Ning Qi
The phantom image of Mount Buzhou stood within the war zone.

Rather than being a seated object, it is more like a towering sword standing within the realm of war.

Only then did it reveal its true power, piercing a large hole in the top of the war domain and shattering the divine power unleashed by the Sea Ancestor.

The crescent moon hung atop the illusory shadow of Mount Buzhou, looking extremely eerie.

The crescent moon shattered, and gray energy emanating from within was absorbed by it.

Even more terrifying, a jet-black light burst forth from the phantom of Mount Buzhou, directly devouring the gray energy.

Ning Qi, Hai Zu, and Sheng Zu were all shocked when they saw this scene.

They had all been in contact with the Boundary Sea and knew that the pitch-black light was the chaotic energy from the deeper part of the Boundary Sea.

Unexpectedly, this phantom of Mount Buzhou also contained such terrifying energy, which was of much higher quality than the gray energy that the Sea Ancestor had integrated into himself.

The Holy Ancestor suddenly murmured, "That's right. Legend has it that after Mount Buzhou collapsed, its remains were scattered throughout the Boundary Sea. Since he can summon the phantom of Mount Buzhou, it is only natural that it contains the energy of the Boundary Sea."

Upon hearing this, Hai Zu's expression turned pale instantly.

In that case, wasn't her supernatural power that she just unleashed a complete waste of time?

She now realizes that she may have made a mistake from the very beginning.

Ning Qi, Zhao Yujun, and the others have been further forced into the war zone, closer to the Haoran Realm.

If the phantom of the divine mountain previously occupied half of the war realm, it now occupies four-fifths of the area.

In other words, the war domain that the two realms had spent more than half a year to condense was occupied by the phantom of Buzhou Mountain in a very short time, occupying four-fifths of the space.

Now only one-fifth of the area remains for Ning Qi and the others to retreat.

Ning Qi stared ahead.

Now, both Haizu and Shengzu are completely enveloped by the suddenly enlarged phantom of the divine mountain.

Looking at the surging black light within, Ning Qi estimated that its energy was at least the same as that of the turbulent area of ​​the Boundary Sea that the black donkey he encountered in the Boundary Sea had mentioned.

Ning Qi couldn't help but sigh inwardly; the Mountain Ancestor was indeed terrifyingly strong.

Of course, it's not so much that the Mountain Ancestor was terrifying, but rather that the inheritance he received was terrifying.

Judging from the current situation, it's impossible to know just how magnificent and powerful Mount Buzhou was back then.

Even the illusory image of Mount Buzhou summoned by the Mountain Ancestor is so powerful now. How majestic would it be in its prime?
The Sea Ancestor and the Holy Ancestor were caught off guard and tricked by the Mountain Ancestor, who also dragged them into the phantom of the divine mountain.

The two realized what was happening and quickly retreated backward, trying to escape the illusory image of the divine mountain.

Shan Zu ignored their actions, merely curling his lips into a slight smile, as if watching a show.

Bang bang!

The two retreated at top speed, but crashed into an invisible barrier, bounced back, and made two loud impact sounds.

The Holy Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor finally regained their footing and looked back again.

The two discovered that the illusory image of the sacred mountain could be considered a special space!

In ordinary spaces, one needs to find an entrance and exit passage, let alone such a vast shadow of a sacred mountain.

The Holy Ancestor couldn't help but compare it to the Peach Blossom Spring he had summoned before.

Peach Blossom Spring is simply a unique pictorial world he created by integrating painting into space.

Compared to the special space formed by the phantom of Buzhou Mountain, it is simply unattainable.

Because the phantom of Buzhou Mountain has a physical existence, the phantom in front of us is a projection of its physical form. Coupled with its mysterious and ancient legends, it is clear that this is a unique space that is almost comparable to the entire Mountain and Sea Realm and the Vast Realm.

The reason why it cannot catch up with the Mountain and Sea Realm and the Vast Realm is that the two great spiritual realms have been born in the Boundary Sea for countless tens of thousands of years.

However, if this phantom of the divine mountain is allowed to continue to encroach on the space of the war realm and devour the power of the two great spirit realms, it will definitely become an existence that surpasses the two great spirit realms.

Thinking of this, the Holy Ancestor suddenly understood what the Mountain Ancestor was going to do.

He immediately said to Hai Zu, "This is bad. This person is a wolf in sheep's clothing. He probably wants to not only sacrifice all the living beings in the two realms, but also devour the War Realm and the two great spirit realms, so that he can become an immortal."

Upon hearing this, Hai Zu's heart sank, but a sharp light flashed in her icy eyes.

"Stop him! We must stop him no matter what, even if it means our deaths! We cannot let him succeed!"

The war between the two realms has developed to this point, and the Sea Ancestor is filled with regret.

She had always wanted to defeat the Mountain Ancestor, but she had never found an opportunity until the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm acted as an intermediary to convey the Mountain Ancestor's proposal to attack the Vast Realm.

Therefore, after communicating with the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm for a long time, the Sea Ancestor finally agreed to the Mountain Ancestor's proposal.

She was also looking for an opportunity, perhaps launching a war abroad, which would allow her to advance further, and then she might have a chance.

Moreover, she and Shanzu discovered some other things back then.

Because of that thing, the two of them seized the power of the Mountain and Sea Realm and jointly suppressed its will, making the entire Mountain and Sea Realm no longer governed by its own will, but by a three-way agreement.

It could even be said that the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm was powerless against them, and it would be reasonable to say that she and the Mountain Ancestor were deciding the direction of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

The will of the Mountain and Sea Realm was sealed somewhere by the power of the two of them, allowing it to nurture something special.

Therefore, this war in the spirit world is the result of the accumulation of various factors that has led to this point.

But now, it is clear that the situation that seems to be that the two ancestors jointly govern the Mountain and Sea Realm and decide its direction is nothing more than the Sea Ancestor's wishful thinking.

Everything was actually under the control of the Mountain Ancestor!

Hai Zu's mind raced, and he instantly understood everything.

She glanced at the Holy Ancestor not far away, her exquisite face seemingly revealing a hint of apology.

"I'm sorry, it's no use saying anything now, but please, you must help me defeat him, otherwise, both worlds will cease to exist."

The Holy Ancestor said, "I understand. You and I should try again to see if we can break through this illusion of Mount Buzhou. I have a feeling that he probably wants to sacrifice and refine us together. If we can combine our power, he will definitely be able to break through!"

The two exchanged words for only a moment before unleashing their most powerful attacks, attempting to shatter the illusory mountain and break free.

"Crescent Moon Wave Blade!"

"Divine Script Secret Sword!"

Ning Qi and the others immediately saw that inside the phantom of the divine mountain, two dazzling attacks erupted with terrifying energy fluctuations, attacking the surrounding area of ​​the phantom of the divine mountain.

They attacked not only the outer wall of the phantom of the sacred mountain, but also the terrifying, dark, palm-shaped hand that was climbing towards them from within, and even the figure of the Mountain Ancestor floating above the two of them.

Hai Zu's attack resembled a crescent moon, dreamlike and illusory, like a phantom in the sea.

Countless crescent moons attacked in all directions, shattering the countless climbing black hands.

Meanwhile, the Holy Ancestor conjured a divine sword made of thousands of golden divine runes. He held the sword with both hands, raised it high above his head, and shouted, "Slash!"

The Divine Sword, existing between reality and illusion, shimmered with golden light, like a golden lightning bolt, as it swung out in a wide arc.

The golden light was broad yet extremely thin, and incomparably sharp.

Even a glimpse from afar gave people a chilling feeling that they would be cleaved in two and destroyed, along with their physical body and soul, let alone the place where it was actually used.

But the next second, everyone was stunned.

The attacks of the two ancestors may have shattered many of the dark hands, and even destroyed a lot of space within the phantom of the divine mountain, but when their attacks landed on the wall of the divine mountain, they shattered with a bang.

Countless strikes shattered, transforming into wisps of energy that were absorbed by the mountain's walls.

High in the sky, all the attacks aimed at the Mountain Ancestor stopped at his feet.

"I'd like to admit that you two are indeed worthy of being ranked alongside me as Ancestors in the Spirit Realm, but there are still differences between Ancestors!"

The Mountain Ancestor said disdainfully.

“You are merely on the earth, but I am on the summit.”

The Holy Ancestor snorted, "Alright, I've had enough of your narcissistic talk. If you really want to be narcissistic, then please kill us all first." The Mountain Ancestor's words came to an abrupt end.

He hated anyone who interrupted him, he hated weak people who dared to interrupt him, and he hated an old man lecturing him even more.

The Mountain Ancestor stomped his right foot hard, "Then you can die first!"

The moment the foot landed, the entire sacred mountain trembled, along with the war realm outside it and the two spirit realms connected to it.

The Holy Ancestor was below him, and his entire body plummeted downwards like a cannonball, crashing heavily onto the ground.

The rising dust completely obscured his figure, and his presence seemed to vanish instantly; no one knew whether he was alive or dead.

Within the two great spirit realms, all living beings felt the world tremble.

They all looked toward the direction of the war zone, their eyes filled with a mixture of fear and worry.

As for the one-fifth of the War Zone that was the only one not occupied, Ning Qi and his group were like mosquitoes flying in the air.

Suddenly, it felt like an elephant was walking by, its four hooves trampling, and the shock it caused was enough to make many people vomit blood.

Ning Qi's army was far superior to the cultivators under Zhao Yujun and other Sea Ancestors.

Regardless of their cultivation level, no one vomited blood; at most, they only experienced slight dizziness.

Their bones throbbed in unison, and wisps of lightning crackled from within them.

Everyone immediately realized that this was all thanks to the tribulation Ning Qi had helped them overcome earlier.

If it weren't for that heavenly calamity, they would definitely have ended up like Zhao Yujun and the others.

Although the Sword Ancestor and the others were delighted by this power, they were also filled with despair at the scene before them.

If neither the Sea Ancestor nor the Holy Ancestor can stop the Mountain Ancestor's ambition, then they are nothing more than morning dew on grass, destined to vanish sooner or later.

Zhao Yujun managed to fend off some of the impact for her subordinates. She stopped, a trickle of blood already spilling from the corner of her mouth.

Zhao Yujun's azure eyes reflected Ning Qi's tall, straight back not far away. She asked, "Fellow Daoist Ning, what should we do now?"

As the sect leader of the Moon Sea Immortal Sect, Zhao Yujun was used to deciding all the major matters concerning the forces under the Sea Ancestor.

But the current situation is beyond her control, and she has no direction, only confusion.

She felt a little regretful right after asking the question.

Why would she ask someone so much younger than her? She was so much older and had no solution, let alone the young Ning Qi.

However, a rather calm voice came from ahead.

"Fellow Daoist Zhao, prepare to lead your men into the Vast Realm!"

"Hmm?" Zhao Yujun hummed in response, then immediately exclaimed in surprise, "Fellow Daoist Ning, what did you say?"

Ning Qi turned around and glanced at all the cultivators.

From Zhao Yujun to Sword Ancestor Qi Keqing, and to those who have followed him all the way to the present.

"Don't blame me for being honest, but you can no longer interfere in the battle that follows. I have already contacted the wills of both realms, and they will open a spatial passage in the Vast Realm for you to take refuge."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked dejected and somewhat at a loss.

They naturally understood what Ning Qi was saying. They also knew that if they stayed in the War Zone while the Three Ancestors were fighting, they would only be cannon fodder swept away by the aftermath of the battle and would not serve any other purpose.

But... they are cultivators from the Mountain and Sea Realm!
The cultivators from the Mountain and Sea Realm entered the Vast Realm, but there were still many of the battle-fighting cultivators who had previously retreated inside. If they went in, wouldn't it be like enemies meeting again, their eyes blazing with hatred, and they would probably start killing each other again?

However, some people think it's better than dying in the war zone.

Ning Qi opened and closed his eyes and said, "I know what you're thinking. Don't worry, with the will of the Vast Realm and the decree of the Holy Ancestor, the cultivators of the Vast Realm won't do anything to you."

After he finished speaking, although everyone felt that the protection of the enemy's ancestor and the Realm Lord seemed rather strange, they also believed what Ning Qi said.

Sword Ancestor stepped forward, about to say something.

But Zhao Yujun spoke first, staring at Ning Qi: "Fellow Daoist Ning, aren't you coming along?"

Ning Qi smiled slightly and pointed ahead, "If I don't seize such a good opportunity, I'd be the biggest fool in the world."

He spoke so lightly that even the worried crowd laughed.

But no one dared to stay behind in the war zone like him.

Zhao Yujun wanted to say something more.

Ning Qi said, "Sect Leader Zhao, we'll leave them under your protection for now."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yujun paused for a moment, then nodded sharply.

"Yu Jun will definitely fight with all his might!"

Sword Ancestor opened his mouth, but found that he didn't know what to say.

Should Ning Qi go with them, or should Ning Qi be told to be careful?
Ning Qi gave them a deep look. "Don't worry, you're just going to rest for now. I'll still need you!"

Immediately afterwards, Ning Qi snapped his fingers.

Instantly, a spatial passage opened up in the Vast Realm behind them.

The spatial passage, like a vortex, quickly sucked everyone in before immediately closing.

It's as if staying even a second longer would be dangerous.

Ning Qi withdrew his gaze, and a figure landed beside him.

"Ning Qi, your teacher and I have agreed to your terms. The rest is up to you!"

Ning Qi sighed, “What do you mean by ‘handing it over to me’? I can only help out at most. The Mountain Ancestor still needs the Holy Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor to continue carrying the load.”

The imposing figure of the Vast Realm's will glanced at Ning Qi but said nothing more.

"I will help the teacher carry it."

After saying that, he disappeared in front of Ning Qi.

……

Beneath the illusory image of the sacred mountain.

The illusory image of the will of the Vast Realm appeared here, its expression extremely solemn.

He looked at the Holy Ancestor lying on the ground in front of him and said, "Teacher, do we really have to believe Ning Qi?"

“If this continues, I’m afraid my entire Vast Realm will be completely absorbed by this divine mountain. Why don’t we hurry back to the Vast Realm and work together to control it to leave this sea of ​​boundaries as soon as possible?”

Upon hearing this, the Holy Ancestor turned over.

“Zhili, do you really think we can escape? That guy has even sacrificed his own people. He must have planned everything.”

Upon hearing this, the will of the Vast Realm frowned deeply.

After the Holy Ancestor finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed.

"Oh no! Quickly sense if anything else is happening within the Vast Realm!"

The will of the Vast Realm immediately closed its eyes and reconnected with the main will of the Vast Realm.

The main force quickly scanned the situation within the Vast Realm and seemed to find nothing unusual.

"Teacher, everything is fine within the Haoran Realm."

The Holy Ancestor seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

He had just realized that since the Mountain Ancestor had thought of everything, then perhaps that guy in the Vast Realm had also made plans all along.

The Sea Ancestor had just passed on a secret to him. If they really obtained that thing, then entering the Vast Realm would be extremely easy!
