Chapter 930: Chapter 398: Buzhou Mountain Legacy

From obtaining the legacy of Buzhou Mountain from the Mountain Ancestor to establishing the Zhou Mountain Immortal Sect.

An estrangement formed between the Sea Ancestor and the Mountain Ancestor, and subsequently, an event caused a complete rupture between them, shattering their relationship as sect siblings and turning them into enemies, resulting in the current division of the Mountain and Sea Realm into one mountain and one sea.

Regrettably, the Sea Ancestor always longed to defeat the Mountain Ancestor, but no matter how hard she tried, she ultimately couldn’t achieve it.

It seemed as if the mountain would always remain above the sea, and the sea could never engulf Zhou Mountain.

Within the realm of war.

The grand illusion of the Divine Mountain extended indefinitely, reaching from sky to the earth.

The Sea Ancestor, Saint Ancestor, Ning Qi, and everyone else gazed silently at the apparition of the Divine Mountain.

Along with Gong Tiandao and other cultivators under the Mountain Ancestor, they had followed the Mountain Ancestor for a long time, and many had witnessed the Mountain Ancestor display this Divine Technique, but never as magnificent and vast as now.

Previously, when the two Ancestors contested in the Mountain and Sea Realm, perhaps considering the beings within, the Mountain Ancestor had never fully unleashed this Divine Technique. At most, it was only half the size of the current Divine Mountain Illusion.

But now, watching the continually expanding Divine Mountain Illusion, everyone couldn’t help but feel a sense of awe.

If there were a mountain in the world, this would undoubtedly be the largest and tallest mountain in all existence!

This world was neither a small world nor the Spirit Realm but encompassed the entire Sea of Realms.

The Saint Ancestor murmured, ”Could it be the legendary mountain?”

He had seen related descriptions in the Ancient Road Sacred Map, and immediately connected them to the apparition of the Divine Mountain before them.

The Divine Mountain Illusion summoned by the Mountain Ancestor was not a mere illusion, or rather, only formed by the rules within the war realm.

The majestic aura felt more like a true summoning of the legendary Buzhou Mountain Illusion.

Legend has it that after Buzhou Mountain’s fall, it never completely disappeared; its true form still lays within the Sea of Realms, though no one knows exactly where.

Before this oppressive mountain preventing everyone from ascending to the Immortal Realm, everyone felt a speechless suffocation.

Among them, the Sea Ancestor and Saint Ancestor, cultivators closest to the Immortal Dao, were particularly sensitive to this oppressive sensation.

It seemed to weigh on their hearts, block their chests, making it impossible to breathe.

In contrast, Ning Qi, Zhao Yujun, Gong Tiandao, and other cultivators didn’t feel it as intensely.

”I understand why you can’t defeat him.”

The Saint Ancestor suddenly spoke to the Sea Ancestor behind him, still having the leisure to converse with her.

The Sea Ancestor, upon hearing this, bit her silver teeth hard, an expression of madness appearing on her face as she looked at the Divine Mountain Illusion.

She had never been able to defeat the Mountain Ancestor, and this matter constantly weighed on her heart, her greatest lifelong pain!

The Saint Ancestor continued:

”Do you still insist on aligning with him just to protect the Mountain and Sea Realm?”

”Ha, are you truly protecting the Mountain and Sea Realm? I tell you, even if this Spirit Realm war ends with our victory, I will not invade your Mountain and Sea Realm!”

”As for you, now that you finally have an external enemy like me to contend with that guy, if you persist in your principles, when the Vast Realm is defeated, he is likely to break through the realm, do you think you will still have a chance to defeat him?”

The Saint Ancestor spoke calmly and quickly.

There was no manipulation or deception in his words, but rather extreme honesty.

Ning Qi looked over and saw the intensifying struggle on the Sea Ancestor’s beautiful face, seemingly caught in a moral dilemma.

Ning Qi instantly realized that the Sea Ancestor seemed moved by the Saint Ancestor’s words, but due to her position, she was extremely conflicted, teetering on the edge.

Being the Sea Ancestor of the Mountain and Sea Realm, she was bound to oppose the Saint Ancestor of the Vast Realm, yet she immensely desired to defeat the Mountain Ancestor.

Which was more important, she seemed unable to decide.

Ning Qi instantly noticed that the Sea Ancestor had a strong self-restraint.

She seemed bound by her own principles, making her decision difficult. To put it simply, her moral baseline was too high and not flexible enough.

Ning Qi felt it necessary to fan the flames a little.

Without the three Ancestors fighting in chaos, where would he have the chance to win easily?

Presently, the Mountain Ancestor’s power was indeed formidable, more crucially, he was extremely cold-hearted, showing no regard for the lives of his subordinates.

From his arrival until now, he had not inquired about the safety of Gong Tiandao and many other cultivators under him, as if they were merely sacrificial pawns on the battlefield.

Before everyone’s eyes, the Divine Mountain Illusion grew larger and larger, almost filling the entire world.

The Mountain Ancestor hovered within, overlooking all like a deity.

The Divine Mountain Illusion’s atmosphere was becoming increasingly substantial, now exuding wisps of breathtaking aura.

As soon as that aura appeared, both Saint Ancestor and Sea Ancestor turned pale, and even Ning Qi felt his heart pounding.

It wasn’t an aura belonging to the war realm or the Spirit Realm, seeming to emanate from a higher plane.

Ning Qi narrowed his eyes slightly.

”Is this the Immortal Dao Aura?”

Seeing the change in the faces of the Saint Ancestor and Sea Ancestor, Ning Qi thought that only the Immortal Dao Aura could cause both of them to simultaneously change color.

Ning Qi’s gaze moved back to the Mountain Ancestor and the Divine Mountain Illusion.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Ning Qi realized the Mountain Ancestor was using the Divine Mountain Illusion to block most of the war realm, completely sealing off the space connecting the Mountain and Sea Realm to the war realm.

In other words, he blocked the path for many cultivators of the Mountain and Sea Realm to retreat back to the Mountain and Sea Realm.

As the Divine Mountain Illusion blocked the space, they even had to retreat towards the direction of the Vast Realm.

Ning Qi, Zhao Yujun, and Gong Tiandao, while protecting their cultivators, were continually forced to retreat.
