Chapter 1095: Chapter 477: Multi-Storey Immortal Tower

Wei Immortal wasted no words, immediately swearing an oath upon the Immortal Path, seeking a battle with Ning Qi.

The outcome of this battle would decide the ownership of the divine mountain remnants each of them held, and would also stake their respective freedom.

This was a high‑stakes gamble; the loser would lose everything!

Without doubt, both he and Ning Qi were filled with absolute confidence in themselves.

Ning Qi gazed deeply at the handsome man before him.

The reason he had agreed to that outrageous demand from Lin Chen was precisely because he did not particularly dislike these two; one could even say he felt a sliver of admiration for them.

Ning Qi knew that in order to forge the True Martial Spirit Realm into an Immortal Realm, he needed more divine mountain remnants.

Yet to become an Immortal Realm, he also needed more Immortals.

If he relied only on the cultivators within the True Martial Spirit Realm and waited for them to become Immortals, who knew how many ages it would take; Ning Qi could not afford to wait.

Thus, Ning Qi had always intended to recruit more talents for the True Martial Spirit Realm.

And these two before him—at least judging from their behavior so far—still held empathy for the weak, and that was a rare quality among cultivators.

If the two of them had been like the Mountain Ancestor—willing to sacrifice all living beings for the sake of his own ascension—Ning Qi would never have entertained this thought.

“Your turn!”

Lin Chen said unhappily.

His Wei had already sworn, yet Ning Qi remained unmoved, which made him slightly displeased.

Ning Qi smiled faintly, raised his right hand high, pointing straight to the heavens, symbolically toward the former Immortal Realm.

“I, Ning Qi, by oath upon the Immortal Path, set this wager: if I lose to the other side, I will hand over the Ten Thousand Venerable Mountain to them, and bring the True Martial Spirit Realm to join them as well.”

As the two of them finished their oaths, somewhere in the dark, a bolt of lightning flashed across the Sea of Realms and struck between them.

The lightning transformed into a mass of thunderfire, blazing as if it absorbed the oaths they had sworn, then split into two rays of lightning that shot toward the two of them.

The two did not move at all and were struck by the lightning.

Yet the lightning did not harm them; it was as though an invisible eye had been added, constantly watching over the two.

This was Ning Qi’s first time swearing upon the Immortal Path; he looked toward the sky, inwardly moved.

The Immortal Realm had collapsed, yet the rules once laid down by the Immortal Realm to blanket the Three Realms still lingered, and continued to exert their effect.

Whether it was the Immortal Doors condensed by those achieving Immortality, or this Immortal Path oath before him, both revealed how terrifying the former Immortal Realm had been.

“What, are you afraid now? The oath upon the Immortal Path has been made; if you try to go back on it, it will automatically judge you the loser.”

Lin Chen reminded him in what seemed to be a kindly tone.

“Go back on it? I never do such a thing.”

Ning Qi said firmly. The hand supporting the Ten Thousand Venerable Mountain flipped, and he put it away again.

Given his goal, even if he did repent, what could this Immortal Path oath do to him?

No entry into Immortal Doors, no step into the Immortal Realm, and even the immortal power in his body stripped away?

Ning Qi simply did not care about these punishments. He had never intended to walk the old road to become an Immortal, so he had no fear.

Opposite him, Wei Immortal also recalled the Linglong Mountain. He took one step off the Five‑Colored Treasure Ship, entering the Sea of Realms, standing face to face with Ning Qi.

The Saint Ancestor and Sea Ancestor automatically scattered, giving the two some space.

Lin Chen piloted the Treasure Ship, flying off to the other side.

“Come.”

Wei Immortal beckoned to Ning Qi; he believed himself stronger than Ning Qi, and wanted Ning Qi to strike first.

Ning Qi did not stand on ceremony. Immortal power surged around him, tinged with strands of golden hue.

Gold Immortal radiance flared forth, automatically pushing aside the Sea of Realms’ energy and forming a barrier of immortal power.

Seeing the golden hue on Ning Qi’s body, both Wei Immortal opposite him and Lin Chen on the distant Five‑Colored Treasure Ship narrowed their pupils.

Another Gold Immortal?

The True Martial Spirit Realm had produced three Gold Immortals?

Even if the True Martial Spirit Realm was indeed larger than ordinary Spirit Realms, this was still far too shocking.

Whoosh!

Ning Qi became a streak of golden lightning, crossing the Sea of Realms in an instant, his fist smashing toward Wei Immortal’s face.

Facing this lightning‑fast punch, Wei Immortal slapped out with his palm.

Pa!

Fist and palm collided, immortal power roiled, and the surrounding Sea of Realms’ energy shuddered as though a boulder had been hurled into a lake, sending out vast ripples.

Along with the shockwave, Ning Qi and Wei Immortal both shook, each retreating several steps, almost exactly equal.

This first exchange was a probing test; both wanted to gauge the other’s true strength.

Ning Qi’s eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at Wei Immortal opposite him.

Immortal radiance spilled from Wei Immortal’s body, rippling with a glow that Ning Qi and the others found familiar.

Bright as a full moon, immortal radiance like silver—Full Moon Immortal Body.

Ning Qi’s heart stirred.

Could it be that his cultivation method was also a legacy from Buzhou Mountain? He could distinctly feel an aura similar to the Mountain Ancestor’s from the other party.

However, since the other had yet to employ any Divine Techniques, Ning Qi could only judge from his outer manifestations. Comparing pure physical energy alone, the other should be on par with him.

That was astonishing!

One had to know that although Ning Qi had not become an Immortal, his fleshly body had been tempered by Gold Immortal radiance, and he was a Realm Lord to begin with, his foundation incomparably deep.

Even the Saint Ancestor did not dare claim to surpass Ning Qi in raw physical body.

Yet Wei Immortal could stand equal to Ning Qi; that meant his realm likely far surpassed that of the Saint Ancestor.

He was definitely not True Immortal First Grade—perhaps Second Grade, or even Third Grade.

Wei Immortal likewise looked at Ning Qi, a strange light flashing in his gray eyes.

“Interesting. Of all those I have met until now, you are the first who can clash with my flesh head‑on.”

After speaking, Wei Immortal actually took the initiative to charge at Ning Qi.

The distance between the two shrank; Wei Immortal’s fists danced like a raging storm, striking out in an unbroken barrage.

At the same time, the silvery moon‑like Immortal radiance around him grew ever more condensed, wrapping only around his body without spilling out, displaying his profound control over immortal power.
