Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

”Is that so?” Ning Qi smiled slightly, ”One is not enough, how about two or three?”

Instantly, dozens of evil-sealing jade bottles appeared around Ning Qi, revolving continuously around him.

Each evil-sealing jade bottle trembled, emitting a crisp sound.

It was as if something inside was about to break free, as threads of gray-black smoke seeped out from the bottles.

Back then, Ning Qi managed to disperse and seal the evil energy, barely suppressing it.

Now, Ning Qi’s strength had increased several times over, and he believed he could suppress all the evil energy even if it merged into one.

Seeing as the Mountain Ancestor feared this evil energy, Ning Qi didn’t mind releasing it completely.

However, in reality, there were only eight portions of the evil energy left, not as many as the jade bottles encircling Ning Qi.

But to intimidate the Mountain Ancestor, Ning Qi naturally chose to mix truth and illusion.

Crack!

Suddenly, two of the jade bottle caps popped open, and two more wisps of evil energy flew out.

Including the one on Ning Qi’s fingertip, three wisps of evil energy twisted together, standing upright in front of Ning Qi.

The Mountain Ancestor’s mountain-like silhouette seemed to thicken slightly at this sight.

His voice turned dry, ”Do you think I would be afraid?”

”How would you know without trying? I am someone who likes empirical evidence.”

Ning Qi manipulated the three wisps of evil energy once again, launching them at the Mountain Ancestor’s silhouette.

The Mountain Ancestor surprisingly chose not to retaliate but focused entirely on defense.

Clang, clang, clang!

This time, the three strands of evil energy crisscrossed, producing one, then two, and then three, transforming into thousands of needles, continuously shooting at the Mountain Ancestor’s silhouette.

Sparks flew endlessly, yet the silhouette remained unbroken, as if it was an impeccable turtle shell, with its defenses fully maxed out!

All the while, the Mountain Ancestor maintained focus on defending the silhouette.

Seeing this, his immortal eyes seemed to brim with renewed confidence.

He was actually using this defensive secret technique for the first time and wasn’t very familiar with its strength.

And his opponent was the all-pervasive Infinite Evil Qi, which was a terrifying presence both in his heritage and in the intelligence shared by the Immortal Door, explaining why the Mountain Ancestor was so passively conservative, focusing on defense.

But witnessing this scene, the Mountain Ancestor was almost certain that even if Ning Qi had more of the evil energy, it wouldn’t be enough to breach the defenses of Buzhou Mountain’s silhouette.

He was even more convinced that Ning Qi’s Infinite Evil Qi was a much inferior version compared to the legendary one, of a lower grade, far from being as dreadful as the evil energy in his heritage and intelligence.

Just like the immortal qi he recently transformed within his newly immortal body, naturally inferior to those immortals who have long been immortal.

”Haha, Ning Qi, Ning Qi, I must admit, you really gave this Immortal Venerable a fright!”

The Mountain Ancestor laughed heartily, his demeanor completely restored.

But Ning Qi noticed that between his brows, there seemed to be an undispellable trace of worry.

The Mountain Ancestor’s stalwart immortal body stretched, grasping the Evil Extermination Immortal Sword.

The Immortal Sword was a Daoist Skill sword, heavily inscribed with runes that gleamed with immortal patterns.

The Mountain Ancestor thrust his sword towards the Infinite Evil Qi burning within the Immortal Fire.

That strand of evil energy had already absorbed a considerable amount of immortal power, and despite the gray-black smoke rising from the burning Immortal Fire, it hadn’t been incinerated completely.

Now, as the Mountain Ancestor’s sword struck out, the evil energy’s aura weakened significantly, but still didn’t vanish completely.

The Mountain Ancestor was momentarily stunned.

He could only say that this evil energy was indeed powerful. Even if it was an inferior version, it remained immensely strong, no wonder everyone in the Immortal Realm referred to it as the source of chaos in the Sea of Realms.

The Mountain Ancestor made another unsuccessful attempt with his sword and struck once more.

Ning Qi’s eyes flickered; at that moment, it seemed he had made a certain decision.

In an instant, Ning Qi severed his connection with that strand of evil energy, no longer controlling or suppressing it.

Ning Qi feared the evil energy would get out of control, and through suppression, he had limited its power.

But now, since the Mountain Ancestor had captured it and contained it within his silhouette, Ning Qi no longer worried that it would spiral out of control.

No matter how out of control it gets, the Mountain Ancestor would have to bear it!

The Mountain Ancestor was oblivious to all this and focused solely on striking with his sword, intent on eradicating that strand of evil energy first.

The sword’s strike seemed to disperse the evil energy.

The Mountain Ancestor laughed heartily, looking at Ning Qi.

”Seems like this thing isn’t that terrible after all!”

With his right hand wielding the sword and left hand fondly brushing over its body, his immortal eyes sparkled ever brighter.

The silver-white Immortal Radiance pierced through the silhouette, illuminating the Sea of Realms anew.

The Mountain Ancestor unleashed multiple consecutive sword slashes.

The three strands of evil energy attacking from the outside were similarly sliced into smoke and dust under the Immortal Sword, ultimately scattered and dissipated.

The Mountain Ancestor strolled leisurely through the Sea of Realms’ void, approaching Ning Qi.

”Release them all, let’s see how you’ll contend with this Immortal Venerable without your evil energy!”

Ning Qi’s expression shifted ever so slightly.

In the next moment, he unexpectedly retracted most of the evil-sealing bottles, keeping only one.

”What, realizing they are useless against me?” The Mountain Ancestor’s immortal eyes sharpened, speaking coldly, ”Then this Immortal Venerable shall capture you, trace your world through you, execute you before your world’s sentient beings, and then sacrifice them all to accompany you on your journey!”

The Mountain Ancestor’s face curled up in a sinister smile.

Immediately, he charged straight at Ning Qi.

Ning Qi’s various internal powers merged as one, even faintly coalescing a force similar to that within the Mountain Ancestor.

He had been analyzing the Mountain Ancestor’s power for a long time, almost perfectly replicating it by now.

Of course, the immortal power of the newly immortalized Mountain Ancestor was beyond replication.

Thus, the extra Mountain Ancestor power merged seamlessly with the other united forces within Ning Qi.

Ning Qi donned the Yin Yang Dao Garment, with a Yin Yang Diagram suddenly rising from his body.

The Mountain Ancestor was already fast approaching Ning Qi.

Ning Qi suddenly pinched an array formula, and his figure shifted, retreating through teleportation, while the original position surged with intricate array patterns!

”This is...”

The Mountain Ancestor’s forward-charging figure halted abruptly, sensing something amiss.

Tens of thousands of arrays emerged densely within the Sea of Realms, centering around the Mountain Ancestor, seemingly connecting the four corners of the Sea of Realms.

”Apart from an immortal’s array, who else in the Spirit Realm can trap me? Break!”

The Mountain Ancestor shouted vehemently.

The magical sword in his hand exploded with intense brilliance, expanding hugely, slashing at the arrays appearing in all directions.

The overlapping arrays, like illusionary existences, shattered with just one slash of the sword’s brilliance.

”Illusion Array?”

The Mountain Ancestor’s sword did not halt, continuing to unleash attacks.

Numerous array patterns manifested, intertwining throughout the entire Sea of Realms. Layer upon layer of various arrays, rooted in the Sea of Realms’ strength, appeared, illusionary arrays, trapping arrays, killing arrays, diminishing arrays, etc., constantly shattering and repairing.

Even though they couldn’t withstand attacks from the newly immortalized Mountain Ancestor, they still erupted with maximum power, striving to delay his progress.

Ning Qi’s figure appeared in the chaotic currents of the Sea of Realms, silently watching the Mountain Ancestor from afar.

He hadn’t forgotten the myriad powers he possessed, including the Array Path.

Array Masters can use heaven and earth as their board, and in the Sea of Realms, naturally, they can also lay arrays here.

The Sea of Realms is boundless, its inner power is infinite and chaotic. An average Array Master couldn’t manage it.

But for Ning Qi, there’s no place where arrays can’t be set. Moreover, his understanding of the Sea of Realms’ energy was profound; at most, it was just more troublesome to lay arrays here.

With the Mountain Ancestor’s relentless attacks, terrifying forces stirred across the entire Sea of Realms, as energies converged upon this place.

The area where he and the Mountain Ancestor initially were was the Black Water Area, and now, they were engulfed within the chaotic currents of the Sea of Realms.

Ning Qi’s eyes reflected the silhouette of Buzhou Mountain outside the Mountain Ancestor, fingers pinching an array formula.

”Utilize the Sea of Realms as the foundation, connect to the Buzhou Mountain silhouette, and awaken the array within Buzhou Mountain’s remnants!”

Ning Qi chanted the words of the Array Path.

The Mountain Ancestor had torn through all the great arrays, revealing his immortal form.

He saw himself in the chaotic currents of the Sea of Realms, momentarily unstable, but quickly regained stability, without excess surprise.

”So your array was intended to change the region of the Sea of Realms, but unfortunately, these chaotic currents have no effect on me!” The Mountain Ancestor said coldly.

Ning Qi didn’t respond but instead pointed at the Mountain Ancestor.

In an instant, around the Mountain Ancestor, amidst the swirling vortex of chaotic currents, unremarkable array patterns flew out, abruptly attaching themselves to the Buzhou Mountain silhouette on his body.

The array patterns connected into one, radiating radiant light, causing the Mountain Ancestor to squint.

He was about to speak again, but suddenly found a fierce tremor within his body!
