Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 950: Chapter 407: Sea Ancestor’s Cultivation Grounds 2

At the top are Exotic Beasts of the early Integration stage, but towards the bottom, their power has reached the Realm of Perfection.

Among them, there are several Exotic Beasts with extraordinary talents, and the aura emanating from them clearly surpasses the Realm of Perfection.

Ning Qi even discovered a twisted monster, but compared to those summoned by the Saint Ancestor in the War Realm, its level of distortion is relatively mild, far from being as hideously terrifying.

It seems to be at the initial stage of becoming a twisted monster, with only its flesh and bones folding and flipping.

Ning Qi was truly curious, how long did the Sea Ancestor take to construct this space, and how did she capture these Exotic Beasts of the Sea of Realms?

The variety of Fierce Beasts here totals at least a thousand.

With so many high-level, high-cultivation Fierce Beasts, Ning Qi would have definitely thought that the Sea Ancestor had captured Fierce Beasts from outside the Boundary Wall of the Mountain and Sea Realm if he hadn’t entered the Sea of Realms.

But having visited the Sea of Realms, Ning Qi knew that the regions adjacent to worlds like the Mountain and Sea Realm or the Vast Realm are the Gray Mist Area.

The Gray Mist Area simply cannot have so many powerful Exotic Beasts of the Sea of Realms!

Then, where on earth did the Sea Ancestor capture these Exotic Beasts of the Sea of Realms?

Ning Qi was puzzled, as he and the Mountain and Sea Realm Will had descended to the central bottom of the space.

The entire space felt like an inverted bowl, with faint light undulating at the bottom, as if a huge starfish pattern was engraved below.

No, it was not an engraved starfish, but a living giant starfish lying at the bottom, only appearing flat like a pattern due to the light.

Ning Qi felt this space was quite dark.

If the Sea Ancestor had been cultivating here for years, with the strong integration of the Sea of Realms power into herself, insanity would seem unavoidable.

Ning Qi looked towards the Mountain and Sea Realm Will’s phantom.

It seemed not intended to linger.

He stepped heavily onto the starfish below, and instantly, the starfish seemed to awaken, waving its limbs wildly.

No matter how it moved, it could not break through into this space.

Suddenly, its five starfish arms stabbed into five specific positions according to a certain pattern.

Immediately, Ning Qi felt the space quake violently, as if the outside seawater was about to breach this place.

And the Exotic Beasts of the Sea of Realms in the surrounding water prisons emitted painful shrieks, their internal powers constantly flowing away, rushing towards Ning Qi and the Mountain and Sea Realm Will underfoot.

Ning Qi sensed that not only the power of the Sea of Realms was present, but also the extremely yin and gentle power as mentioned by the Mountain and Sea Realm Will earlier.

This was the Sea Ancestor’s power, which assimilated the powers of Exotic Beasts of the Sea of Realms through extreme yin and gentleness.

Water benefits all things and does not contend, therefore it is close to Dao, thus nothing in the world can contend with it.

Words from the Sea Ancestor’s legacy suddenly surfaced in Ning Qi’s mind.

The scene before seemed to confirm all this.

Ning Qi looked again beneath his feet.

The giant starfish beneath him, like the skeletons at the bottom of the sea, seems also a kind of mechanism trigger method.

The power gathered from all the Exotic Beasts of the Sea of Realms gradually condensed into a black-gray lotus bud pattern underfoot.

Pop!

The Mountain and Sea Realm Will snapped its fingers.

Instantly, a whiff of fragrance filled the nose, the lotus bud opened, and bizarrely, the entire bottom space suddenly shone brightly, generating an overpowering suction that absorbed Ning Qi and the Mountain and Sea Realm Will.

After a whirlwind rotation, the two felt as though they were sucked away, or perhaps teleported, not knowing how much time had passed, they felt themselves being ejected.

Ning Qi mobilized the force within and floated in the void.

The Mountain and Sea Realm Will’s phantom also floated beside him.

To Ning Qi’s surprise, they had reached another space.

This place was completely different from the previous space, at the edge of sight, birds chirping, flowers fragrant, sunny and bright, a lush field, they seemed to have arrived in a new world.

”Hmm?”

Ning Qi wanted to descend, but a complex array pattern ahead suddenly bounced him back.

The Mountain and Sea Realm Will’s phantom watched from the side, not obstructing.

Ning Qi glanced at him, sensing no intention to explain, he just coughed a bit, his eyes seemed encouraging.

Ning Qi immediately tried to descend again.

This time, he became cautious, pausing his descent just as the array pattern began to manifest.

Ning Qi’s eyes flashed gold, the Golden Pupil of Illusion-breaking was activated.

Golden light glistened, scanning the complex array patterns below.

At first glance, Ning Qi was captivated, as if witnessing the most beautiful and mesmerizing thing in the world.

Moments later, Ning Qi’s whole body quivered.

”What exactly is this array, I’ve never even heard of it, let alone seen it!”

Ning Qi felt he had reached the highest level on the array path in the Two Realms, yet the array patterns before him were beyond his comprehension.

Even if he stared at one spot without blinking, it would change instantaneously, truly terrifying.

Momentarily, Ning Qi seemed unable to discern several array pattern models, but in the next instant, he seemed to think he had seen wrong, the changes incomprehensible.

With his perception, whatever appears before him should not be beyond his understanding.

Ning Qi was certain, such array patterns should never appear in the world.

This doesn’t resemble something of this world!

Upon arriving here, the Mountain and Sea Realm Will seemed a bit revitalized, he coughed again, his face a bit flushed, saying: ”Do you feel that these array patterns don’t seem to belong to this world at all?”

Ning Qi nodded slightly.

”Realm Venerable, please enlighten me.”

The Mountain and Sea Realm suddenly laughed: ”Haha, even you make mistakes, have you ever thought that this might not be an array pattern at all?”

”Hmm?”

Ning Qi was startled.

Not an array pattern?

He had never imagined such a possibility!

Since arriving at the Moon Sea Immortal Sect, having traversed through various realms, finally reaching a seemingly peaceful world.

A complex array pattern appeared before, halting his descent, and then the Mountain and Sea Realm Will revealed it wasn’t an array pattern?

Ning Qi was completely unable to accept this!

However, he adapted exceptionally well, immediately observing again.

The Golden Pupil of Illusion-breaking was pushed to the extreme, even utilizing the Divine Text Eye left by the Saint Ancestor, activating a trace of Immortal Dao Aura.

This time, below, the array patterns surged, still kaleidoscopically changing in Ning Qi’s eyes.

But, using the answer given by the Mountain and Sea Realm Will to examine, it seemed these array patterns were indeed not artificially laid out, they possessed a natural kind of capability.

Among them countless paths intertwine, easily misunderstood as array patterns.

If they are not array patterns, then what are they, that could form such patterns?

Ning Qi’s heart raced, sensing he was on the verge of uncovering the Mountain and Sea Realm’s true secret.

This secret relates to the Mountain Ancestor, Sea Ancestor, and the Mountain and Sea Realm Will.

Why was the Mountain and Sea Realm Will sealed by the Two Ancestors, and previously it seemed the Sea Ancestor had told the Saint Ancestor that they had obtained something.

All secrets lie right ahead!

Ning Qi believed, once the mystery here is unraveled, everything will be revealed.

Ning Qi subtly shifted his internal force at his feet, lightly touching the pattern-like markings.

True Martial Realm Power, Mountain and Sea Realm Power, Vast Realm Power, the Power of Three Realms rotated, but upon contact, Ning Qi immediately felt his own power seemed to be absorbed by it.

If he had not withdrawn quickly, if he hadn’t severed decisively, possibly all the power within him would have been extracted and devoured by these patterns.

Ning Qi stared at the constantly color-changing and shape-shifting patterns beneath his feet, switching his internal force to Realm Power of the Sea.

Ning Qi split off a strand, flying towards the pattern barrier.

That strand of Realm Power of the Sea, thin as a hair, slowly made contact with the patterns.

At the moment of contact, Ning Qi’s eyes spotted the patterns as if they came alive, inhaling aggressively.

But in the next instant, the patterns disgustedly rejected, actually spitting out the Realm Power of the Sea.

Witnessing this, a strange feeling arose in Ning Qi’s heart.

Not knowing why, the previous space reappeared in his mind, the place where the Sea Ancestor imprisoned Exotic Beasts of the Sea of Realms, cultivating Realm Power of the Sea.

He believed, the spaces traversed are not incidental settings, but interconnected.

However, Ning Qi had not yet grasped the intricacies within.

He didn’t understand why these eerie patterns would reject the Realm Power of the Sea.

Beside him, the Mountain and Sea Realm Will’s phantom spoke again: ”Try using the key from the Sea Ancestor’s legacy.”
