Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Ning Qi stood before the Spirit Jade Coffin.

He manipulated the immortal power within the Immortal Body, constantly trying out various Cultivation Techniques.

Ning Qi first circulated once through the method cultivated by the Mountain Ancestor.

The method cultivated by the Mountain Ancestor was obtained from the inheritance of Buzhou Mountain; it was a Cultivation Technique called the Complete Heaven Immortal Guide Scripture.

This Cultivation Technique was rather mystical; it lowered the entry threshold for a cultivator to an extremely low level—Cultivators of the Primordial Spirit Realm could already begin cultivating it, and it was enough for them to cultivate all the way to the Immortal Realm.

From its name alone, one could tell this Cultivation Technique was broad and profound.

Its intent lay in the complete heavens, using Immortals as the guide; it was truly filled with yearning for the Immortal Realm.

But this was no surprise, for Buzhou Mountain was, after all, the only path from the ancient mortal world to the Celestial Realm.

No matter what kind of Cultivator, if they wished to become an Immortal, they had to make a trip to Buzhou Mountain.

Because of this, Buzhou Mountain was the most flourishing force in the mortal world; they controlled the gate leading to the Celestial Realm.

And they had an even more overbearing rule: any Cultivator passing through Buzhou Mountain had to leave behind their own proudest Cultivation Technique.

Thus, there was that cliff-face engraved with all kinds of Cultivation Techniques that Ning Qi had seen inside the remains of Buzhou Mountain.

From just this corner, Ning Qi realized that Buzhou Mountain back then was probably no benevolent existence either.

They were like emperors among the Cultivators of the mortal world.

Emperors ruled the land and conquered the common people, making the people offer up their wealth to nourish themselves and their dogs of war, wishing to establish a foundation of ten thousand years.

And Buzhou Mountain was the emperor among mortal Cultivators; any Cultivator who wished to pass through their territory had to leave something behind.

Everyone had no way to deal with them yet had no choice but to pass, and could only leave behind the crystallization of their life’s painstaking efforts.

Of course, this was not absolute either.

Ning Qi had flipped to an entry in the records.

According to legend, there were a few people born with extraordinary talent and innate defiance, who directly fought their way up Buzhou Mountain, forcibly blasted open the Gate to the Celestial Realm, and entered the Celestial Realm on their own.

Reading this, Ning Qi only felt incomparably satisfied in his heart, but people like that were ultimately only a minority.

This Complete Heaven Immortal Guide Scripture was the Cultivation Technique cultivated by the core Cultivators of Buzhou Mountain; it was said to have received quite a bit of guidance from people of the Immortal Realm, hence the words ”Immortal Guide”.

Ning Qi had long since comprehended it once already, and now, running it with the Mountain Ancestor Immortal Body, he had some particularly new sensations.

For some reason, Ning Qi always felt this Cultivation Technique had some sort of flaw, as if it was not complete.

However, Ning Qi did not care; he was only using it for reference and would not take it as his own Cultivation method.

Among this Cultivation Technique, there was one Divine Technique that particularly drew Ning Qi’s attention—the Dual-faced Body Technique of the Immortal!

This could not help but make Ning Qi think of those two Mountain Ancestor bodies from before. The Mountain Ancestor had cultivated a Dual-faced Dharma Body, yet he had actually destroyed half of his own Dharma Body; this point had always left Ning Qi quite puzzled.

Only after seeing the method cultivated by the Mountain Ancestor did Ning Qi finally understand the marvel of this Secret Technique.

This method was not that simple; after cultivating it, the Mountain Ancestor condensed a Dual-faced Dharma Body.

One Dharma Body represented the past, and one Dharma Body represented the future.

When past and future intersect, there is the present!

The past Dharma Body was him at the time he was cultivating this method, while the future Dharma Body was a complete projection of his own future condensed from within himself.

After experiencing eighty-one days of unceasingly using the Secret Technique, condensing this projection with the strength of his own mind, it would then be born.

It was the ”me” of the past pinning his hopes on the me of the future, and also the ”me” he wished to become!

But there was a trap within this Divine Technique, namely that only the future Dharma Body could truly master the Complete Heaven Immortal Guide Scripture.

In other words, the Complete Heaven Immortal Guide Scripture was not prepared for the past self, but for the future Dharma Body.

And before the future self became an Immortal, it would completely slay the past me and turn into a brand new ”me”!

Ning Qi narrowed his eyes. This Divine Technique carried a few traces of eeriness, making him feel there was definitely something fishy within.

Unfortunately, as for what exactly was within, aside from the Mountain Ancestor who personally practiced it, no one could see through.

In any case, the inheritance of Buzhou Mountain always made Ning Qi feel there was something a bit odd about it.

Ning Qi once again studied the Cultivation Techniques engraved on the cliff-face inside the remains of Buzhou Mountain.

Even that final Six Paths Immortal Wheel of the Mountain Ancestor gave Ning Qi a strange feeling of incompleteness.

”Could it be my illusion?”

If someone without any foundation came into contact with those Cultivation Techniques, they would surely be ecstatic and would not be able to see any abnormalities.

But to a savage like Ning Qi, who could create a Realm Lord system on his own, it was very easy to sense the strangeness within.

Ning Qi added a bit of his own understanding, and using the Mountain Ancestor’s Immortal Body as an experiment, he caused a burst of upheaval inside the Immortal Body, followed by a billow of black smoke.

Although it failed, Ning Qi still felt that the Mountain Ancestor’s Immortal Body was incredibly useful.

His comprehension was heaven-defying, but every time he created a Cultivation Technique, he would consider all aspects and would not allow himself to make even the slightest mistake.

Now that he had the Mountain Ancestor’s Immortal Body, he could completely treat it as a Magic Body for experimenting with Cultivation Techniques, no longer needing to be so cautious.

What was there to fear in making mistakes?

After all, this Immortal Body was undying and indestructible; he could act as he pleased, having no fear of side effects, energy clashes, or even deviation into madness.

On top of that, the immortal power circulating within it was the most perfect and pure power, which made it even less likely for problems to occur.

To the side, the Sea Ancestor and the Saint Ancestor watched Ning Qi’s operations and could not help but be impressed to the point of prostrating in admiration.

It still had to be this lord; he could always bring them some new tricks.

Seeing the two awaken from their comprehension of immortal power, Ning Qi said, ”I’ve slightly modified this Immortal Body; even you two can use it now.”

He swept his gaze over the two of them, the corner of his mouth lifting slightly as he said, ”How about giving it a try?”
