Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Ning Qi transformed into the gray mist of the Sea of Realms, flowing to the side of the shadow of Buzhou Mountain.

He initially intended to disguise himself as Sea of Realms energy and sneak into the shadow of Buzhou Mountain, but found that the mountain’s wall blocked the flow of Sea of Realms energy.

Ning Qi felt slightly surprised.

This shadow of Buzhou Mountain is not a world.

Within a world, there are many living beings, so the world needs to keep Sea of Realms energy outside to prevent it from eroding all things.

But inside Buzhou Mountain, there are only the Mountain Ancestor, Saint Ancestor, and Sea Ancestor. Why would the Mountain Ancestor also forbid the inflow of Sea of Realms energy?

However, when Ning Qi thought of everything he had encountered after entering the Sea of Realms previously, he was relieved.

Perhaps, even the Mountain Ancestor is extremely repulsive of Sea of Realms energy and does not want to be affected by it.

Touching the mountain’s wall, Ning Qi thought to himself, ”Fortunately, I merged the Seed of Jianmu from the Enlightenment Realm Tree, which also has the ability of the Seed of Jianmu, allowing me to easily pass through the world’s wall. This shadow of Buzhou Mountain is no different from a world.”

A small branch quietly emerged from the gray mist, instantly penetrating the mountain’s wall of Buzhou Mountain.

Ning Qi glanced at the Mountain Ancestor standing atop Buzhou Mountain.

Since the Mountain Ancestor summoned the shadow of Buzhou Mountain, he has almost always stayed there, never leaving.

It’s uncertain if he needs to maintain the existence of the shadow of Buzhou Mountain, so he has to stay there all the time.

Ning Qi noticed that the Mountain Ancestor seemingly hadn’t discovered his use of the branch from the Enlightenment Realm Tree to penetrate the mountain’s wall of Buzhou Mountain, so he concealed all his aura and energy, quietly sneaking into the shadow of Buzhou Mountain.

Within the shadow of Buzhou Mountain, it was a world on its own, resembling night, where one couldn’t see their own fingers.

As Ning Qi appeared inside, he heard innumerable terrifying sounds.

He opened his eyes, relying on his Eye of Truth, naturally able to see the scene inside clearly.

The first thing that caught his eye was a tall and sturdy figure, floating in the air as if casting spells and releasing Divine Techniques.

It was the Mountain Ancestor, his face covered in scars, who had previously fought Ning Qi.

Ning Qi was drawn to his actions of casting spells, because he was chanting incomprehensible syllables unevenly, and, more noticeably, the Mountain Ancestor used an ordinary little knife from time to time to stab his palm.

Gradually, drops of fresh blood fell to the ground like beads, shattered into blood flowers, and vanished without a trace.

Upon careful observation, Ning Qi found that each time the Mountain Ancestor forced ten drops of fresh blood from his body.

On the ground below him, an eerie army emerged continuously from space.

They were either zombies, an army of skeletons, or various monsters, rodents, insects, already beasts.

This army seemed tireless, never truly dying, relentlessly attacking the center.

At the central area, a golden glowing barrier was stretched open, forming a huge defensive sphere.

The army, like ants, continued to assault while stacking high like a human pyramid, almost covering the entire shield!

Above the internal sky, countless dark tendrils fell down, aiming to stab into the shield.

Ning Qi watched this scene, sensing the strength of this army.

They were indeed as strong as the cultivators from two realms during the past Spirit Realm war!

This was terrifying, because they seemed never-ending, death didn’t seem to exist.

Ning Qi increasingly felt that the inheritance of the shadow of Buzhou Mountain was exceptionally sinister; is this Buzhou Mountain of legend?

Those tendrils made him somewhat suspect whether they were remnants of the Seed of Jianmu from the past?

However, this was, after all, just a shadow of Buzhou Mountain, so Ning Qi couldn’t be sure.

Suddenly, Ning Qi’s gaze paused in a certain direction, where some troops made him feel somewhat familiar.

”Hmm?”

Ning Qi quietly moved closer to observe.

Upon closer look, even Ning Qi felt a chill in his heart.

Because among the troops below, he indeed recognized some individuals, surprisingly the Sect Leader Gong Tiandao of Zhou Mountain Immortal Sect and his accompanying cultivators.

But the Mountain Ancestor clearly sacrificed them earlier, didn’t he?

How could they still appear?

Ning Qi’s gaze fell upon them, noticing that at this moment, they were just like zombies, continuously attacking the Saint Ancestor and Sea Ancestor at the center.

The only difference was, although their appearance had turned into zombies, they still retained some intelligence, so what they used in combat were the techniques and Divine Techniques they had learned over time, each move incredibly powerful.

Ning Qi’s heart sank.

The Mountain Ancestor truly disregarded others, not even treating them as humans.

How many years did Gong Tiandao and these people follow the Mountain Ancestor?

In life, they existed to maintain the Mountain Ancestor’s power, but once the Mountain Ancestor didn’t need them, he mercilessly sacrificed them.

Now, even after death, they could still be summoned by the Mountain Ancestor to become zombies and attack his enemies.

The Mountain Ancestor truly used these people to their extreme!

Alive as his slaves, even in death, they cannot escape, continuing to be enslaved, continuing to aid the Mountain Ancestor in fighting his adversaries.

Ning Qi could only say, thank goodness the Mountain Ancestor didn’t swallow both the Mountain and Sea Realm and the Vast Realm entirely, otherwise, wouldn’t the fate of people from both realms be the same?

If both realms were swallowed, Ning Qi was unsure whether his True Martial Spirit Realm would remain safe!

Ning Qi’s eyes suddenly cooled, a deep murderous intent passing through them.

Just as he prepared to attack the Mountain Ancestor, suddenly, a beam of infinite light erupted from the central region, illuminating the entire Buzhou Mountain interior anew.

Ning Qi and the Mountain Ancestor both looked towards the central region.
