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

Chapter 411 Ultimate Yin and Ultimate Yang
As the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm recounted everything, Ning Qi had completely uncovered all the secrets of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Why did the two patriarchs of the Mountain and Sea break up, and why was the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm sealed by the two of them?

Among the most valuable pieces of information, one was about the small tree that was half green and half withered. Ning Qi was really curious about what kind of tree it was, that it could have such terrifying power.

Secondly, the legacy of the Mountain Ancestor, Mount Buzhou, is even more terrifying than previously revealed.

The Mountain Ancestor was able to stabilize the world's will with wooden spikes, a method that was not manifested in the War Realm.

Ning Qi guessed that the Mountain Ancestor would probably use such methods to deal with the will of the Vast Realm in the future.

Ning Qi looked at the small tree in front of him and asked the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm, "What kind of tree is this?"

"I don't know either. It should be a strange tree species left behind by the inheritance of Buzhou Mountain," the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm replied.

Ning Qi pondered for a moment.

Previously, when he was facing the threat from the Mountain and Sea Realm in the True Martial Realm, he only thought about solving the problem of the survival of the True Martial Realm. At that time, he thought that solving the Mountain and Sea Realm would be enough.

But now, Ning Qi realizes that what he needs to solve is not the Mountain and Sea Realm, but the Mountain Ancestor and this little tree.

Ning Qi gazed at the half-withered, half-flourishing sapling and suddenly asked, "Lord of the Realm, why has this tree become like this? Has it always been in this state?"

The will of the Mountain and Sea Realm replied:
"Of course not. It drew strength from me before, took root and sprouted from a seed, and grew into a sapling. It was just like a normal tree species, full of vitality."

"It's just that one day, Haoshan started stealing my power while also stealing the power of this little tree, which is why it turned out like this."

Ning Qi pointed to the missing branch on the opposite side of the small tree.

When did the branch on that side go missing?

"Just recently, when Haoshan left the Mountain and Sea Realm!"

Ning Qi was taken aback.

He obtained the withered leaves from this small tree, which helped him shield himself from the perception of the spirit world's will.

If the leaves of this sapling have such effects, then what is the function of its branches and trunk?
"Why was its branch broken off by the Mountain Ancestor? I think the Mountain Ancestor would not have done anything useless before leaving the Mountain and Sea Realm."

The will of the Mountain and Sea Realm stared at Ning Qi.

"As you might have guessed, this little tree is quite magical. It can hold my spiritual will at its level. Its leaves can shield the perception of spiritual will, while its branches can..."

"Can what?"

"By simply holding its branch, one can easily cross the world barrier!"

"Ok?"

Ning Qi was startled. He suddenly realized that the Mountain Ancestor probably had other plans, but he had kept them from the Holy Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor.

Ning Qi immediately stood up and said firmly, "Let's hurry up and enter this core area. I'm afraid something might happen if we stay too long."

The will of the Mountain and Sea Realm also rose up.

However, he still said, "This is the last barrier. Do you really want to enter? You have seen the current state of my original will. You are the same kind as me. If you enter, you may be instantly impaled by that small tree. It will also absorb your power as nourishment for its growth!"

Ning Qi did not answer, but instead reached out and touched the last barrier.

rustle!

He had just touched the barrier in front of him when the small tree in the inner world swayed slightly, its leaves rustling.

In an instant, a barrier automatically appeared at the edge of the inner world with a radius of ten miles, like an inverted bowl, blocking Ning Qi from entering.

Countless patterns sprouted on the barrier, some in the shape of leaves of various sizes, others intertwined to form tree roots that danced like octopus tentacles, constantly changing shape and looking quite frightening.

Ning Qi's pair of piercing golden eyes stared intently at the barrier.

He suddenly had a strange feeling that perhaps the barrier wasn't preventing him from entering, but rather protecting him.

Ning Qi did not linger and once again condensed the key from the Sea Ancestor's inheritance to open the barrier.

A giant key appeared above Ning Qi, who pointed ahead.

Suddenly, the key flew out and landed automatically somewhere.

In an instant, the patterns flashing on the barrier paused, creating a portal in front of Ning Qi.

Ning Qi stepped inside.

But this time, the illusory image of the Mountain and Sea Realm's will did not follow.

He remained rooted to the spot, staring blankly at Ning Qi's resolute figure moving forward, without fear.

The main body of the Mountain and Sea Realm's will has been nailed to its inner dome, so there is no need for his clone to enter it.

If he were given another choice, to go back to the moment when Shan and Hai offered him this seed, he would never have touched this seed or this sapling.

But Ning Qi, after listening to his explanation, still chose to move forward.

At that moment, even the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm couldn't help but admire Ning Qi.

While admiring him, I couldn't help but feel a sense of worry.

Can Ning Qi withstand the attack from the sapling?
Now, Ning Qi is no longer someone who is insignificant to him. Ning Qi's success or failure is related to whether he can break free from the seal of the little tree, and even to the survival of the entire Mountain and Sea Realm, and the final development of the Spirit Realm War.

Within the war zone, the Holy Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor were also trapped within the phantom of Mount Buzhou by the Mountain Ancestor, and were constantly being refined by the Mountain Ancestor.

Compared to the Mountain Ancestor's victory, the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm hoped that Ning Qi would win, especially after sensing that Ning Qi was his kind and the world will of the small world below him!

The portal that had opened through the barrier slammed shut as Ning Qi entered.

As soon as Ning Qi entered this core area, he felt an unparalleled pressure.

His feet touched the ground, but it felt soft and yielding, as if there was no point of support at all.

From the outside, this core area looked like a flat piece of land, but once Ning Qi entered, he found himself as if he had entered the cosmos.

In the center, the small trees bobbed up and down.

The side facing Ning Qi was bathed in green light, brimming with vibrant life.

On the other side, the darkness of the universe gave off a sense of deathly stillness.

Swish!

Suddenly, several thorns shot towards Ning Qi's feet.

It appeared ordinary, but its speed was extremely fast, like a whip of lightning lashing, stabbing, and entangling Ning Qi.

Ning Qi clenched his fingers like a sword, shouting, "One sword can break all laws!"

They typically leap into the air quickly to dodge attacks from the roots.

This sapling can stabilize the powerful will of the Mountain and Sea Realm. He dares not confront it head-on before understanding its true nature, lest he repeat the mistake of having the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm sealed away.

Several sword beams struck the rising roots with unparalleled precision. However, the sword energy, which had always been indestructible and capable of cutting through anything, only managed to leave a shallow mark on the roots before shattering them completely.

He then slashed at Ning Qi at an even faster speed!

Ning Qi's figure flashed several times, leaving behind several afterimages in the air.

His afterimage had barely appeared when it was torn apart and shredded by the tree roots.

The tree roots continued to burrow towards Ning Qi, who was trying to evade. At the same time, several phantom images of tree roots seemed to rise in the void, spreading across the void, trying to capture Ning Qi.

Even more frightening, the small tree suspended in the center swayed.

On both sides of its withered and flourishing branches, leaves fell and transformed into terrifying divine powers that slashed towards Ning Qi.

There are sword qi divine abilities similar to Ning Qi's, there is the Sea Ancestor's "Bright Moon Rising from the Seabed", and there is the Mountain Ancestor's "Thousand Mountains and Ten Thousand Fathoms" divine ability, and so on.

Each leaf displays different supernatural powers of the two ancestors. It's unclear why it embodies the power of the two ancestors of the Mountain and Sea.
Ning Qi frowned slightly.

Could it be that the two ancestral masters of mountains and seas also influenced this tree?

Ning Qi's figure landed at the boundary between light and darkness in this small world.

A barrage of attacks came relentlessly at him, filling the entire space, and he seemed to have no way out.

Above the dome, the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm rippled like clouds. At this moment, it seemed that because of Ning Qi's appearance, the small tree's suppression of it had loosened slightly.

Whoosh whoosh!
Swish swish!
All sorts of supernatural abilities and roots were aimed at Ning Qi.

The will of the Mountain and Sea Realm was on tenterhooks, fearing that Ning Qi would also be defeated in an instant and be nailed to this place like him.

However, the area covered by the attack suddenly shifted between yin and yang colors.

Ning Qi was enveloped in a rich aura of yin and yang energy, which transformed into two yin-yang fish that protected him within.

"That is……"

The will of the mountain and sea world was shocked.

Ning Qi remained suspended in the air, and a Tai Chi diagram automatically appeared around him, continuously enlarging.

The two colors of yin and yang rotated, and Ning Qi was within them, as if he were a deity.

The constantly rotating yin and yang fish seemed to possess unfathomable power, and also seemed to contain the ultimate truth of heaven and earth, and actually resisted all the attacks of the small tree!

As the Yin and Yang energies continued to expand, Ning Qi seemed to have taken the lead. He was the center of this core area, not the small tree, nor the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm fixed in the sky.

Even Ning Qi was confused about his current state.

He didn't intentionally activate the Taiyin Sun God Technique he had created; he was just subconsciously mobilizing the power within his body.

Unexpectedly, the Yin-Yang diagram appeared on its own.

The yin-yang diagram rotates, and in each previous cycle it always appeared distinctly light and dark, and it never stopped turning.

It seems that the environment here is particularly in line with its principles, which is why it was automatically activated.

The black area represents darkness, representing the ultimate yin and softness, while the white area represents light, representing the ultimate yang and strength.

rustle!

After Ning Qi's Yin-Yang diagram appeared, the energy within the entire space seemed to rotate along with the Yin-Yang energies surrounding Ning Qi.

All of Xiaoshu's previous attacks landed on Ning Qi's Yin-Yang diagram and vanished silently.

What was clearly a physical attack was transformed into two states, Yin and Yang, upon encountering the Yin-Yang diagram and absorbed into it.

In the center, the sapling shook even more violently.

It seemed unable to believe that its power would be absorbed by Ning Qi!

It clearly sensed the power of the world's will from Ning Qi. It was originally meant to restrain the world, but now it was being restrained by Ning Qi instead.

Suddenly, countless thorns sprouted from the sapling.

They shimmered with an eerie light, constantly emerging from the bark of the sapling, growing longer and sharper, becoming increasingly pointed and razor-sharp.

The main body of the Mountain and Sea Realm above the dome, as well as its avatar, both trembled.

Those wooden spikes are precisely what hold its will in place.

Zheng!
The spikes shot out with a sound like a dragon's roar, and their flight resembled a swarm of bees, mercilessly piercing Ning Qi.

They appear and disappear in the air, seemingly real yet illusory, each seemingly possessing the power of ten thousand paths, moving at the fastest speed in the world, easily traversing space.

However, Ning Qi also realized something at this moment.

In his mind, flashes of the various tribulations he had overcome before flashed by, flashes of the various supernatural powers he cultivated by fusing the myriad paths under the tribulations flashed by, flashes of the inheritance of the Holy Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor flashed by, flashes of the various supernatural powers after the battle of the three ancestors flashed by...

Above Ning Qi's pair of piercing golden eyes, the divine runes bestowed upon him by the Holy Ancestor were superimposed.

But at this moment, the two powers in his eyes were dissolving and flowing into Ning Qi's pupils.

Ning Qi's eyes became incredibly clear, and the black and white of his eyes became distinct.

From his current perspective, this world contains no saplings, no rules or will of the Mountain and Sea Realm, only the Great Dao...

Yin and Yang, hardness and softness, water and fire, withering and flourishing, light and darkness, life and death...

A series of insights came to him, and Ning Qi opened and closed his eyes repeatedly.

Suddenly, his figure seemed to vanish, leaving only the Yin-Yang diagram behind.

The rotation of Yin and Yang energies drives the operation of the Great Dao in this core world.

The space, which was originally clearly divided into light and darkness, and the small trees that were half green and half withered, were now covered by the yin and yang energies, or rather, they had become part of the yin-yang diagram.

The will of the Mountain and Sea Realm was dumbfounded upon seeing this scene.

The entire space seemed to have transformed into a rotating Tai Chi symbol.

And the small tree at the very center is undergoing a terrible change.

Just moments ago, the tree was half new green and half withered yellow, but now, the new green and withered yellow are alternating, with the new green turning into withered yellow and the withered yellow turning into new green.

Ning Qi had already disappeared.

The changes on the sapling occurred three times in total, with a terrifying force erupting from it.

The will of the Mountain and Sea Realm instantly felt a sense of dread, as if it had no choice but to submit.

"Woo!"

The will of the Mountain and Sea Realm suddenly let out a miserable scream.

It was visible on the dome that its size had shrunk by more than half.

It turned out that an even stronger suction force had emerged from the sapling, instantly seizing most of the power from the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

The will of the Mountain and Sea Realm was on the verge of collapse; how could it have turned out like this?

He clearly saw that Ning Qi seemed to have the upper hand, so why did that little tree instantly take away most of his strength?

"Ning boy..." he shouted, "Rather than be devoured by this divine tree, I'd rather grant your wish!"

Ning Qi finally showed up.

His figure appeared beside the sapling.

He just felt a sense of merging into the entire world, a feeling even more comfortable than when he merged into the True Martial Realm before.

He had even merged into the sapling, making it resonate with him and seemingly restoring its withered state.

However, Ning Qi also sensed the will on it, as well as what was residing on it.

It contains the primordial spirit power of the Mountain Ancestor!

It was precisely because it disturbed the primordial spirit power left behind by the Mountain Ancestor that the little tree suddenly erupted, managing to seize most of the power from the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Ning Qi looked towards the dome.

They discovered that the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm had been sucked down from the dome and was being continuously devoured by the small tree.

Ning Qi pointed to the sapling.

Yin and Yang energies emanated from his fingertips, carrying the power of life and death, which actually stopped the little tree from devouring the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm.
