Chapter 937: Chapter 401: Divine Mountain Mutation (Part 2)

After a little more time, finally, the damage caused to that space was quickly repaired by the will of the two realms maintaining the existence of the war realm.

As the space was restored to its original state, everyone widened their eyes in disbelief, staring at that location.

Their Mountain Ancestor appeared unscathed.

Only the smaller Divine Mountain Illusion he summoned on the surface was slightly damaged!

”...”

The Sea Ancestor’s breathing became a bit heavier.

Within the smaller Divine Mountain Illusion, the Mountain Ancestor seemed to glance at the Sea Ancestor with a hint of pity, but his expression was extremely stern and confident.

”Sea of Emotions, I knew this day would come sooner or later. I’ve told you long before, not to pursue the truth, the past is the past, we are still senior brother and sister, but you never listened. If you insist on pursuing it to the end, then this is the result you achieve, you will only find yourself becoming more and more powerless!”

The Sea Ancestor gazed at him, completely unharmed, her icy eyes quivering, her red lips trembling, in a state of disbelief.

”This is impossible! It can’t be like this!”

She clawed at her hair, her fingertips seemingly digging deeply into her flesh, unwilling to accept the truth before her eyes.

Even with the power of the Sea of Realms at her disposal, why did the Mountain Ancestor, compared to before, instead become stronger?

The Sea Ancestor simply couldn’t accept this reality.

Ning Qi gazed at the two, his attention inevitably falling on the Divine Mountain Illusion initially summoned by the Mountain Ancestor.

He noticed something strange.

Ever since the Mountain Ancestor summoned that gigantic Buzhou Mountain Illusion, whether in attack or defense, he became extremely conservative.

Even when breaking the Saint Ancestor’s Divine Text Tower, the Mountain Ancestor unleashed a Divine Technique to slay immortals, and didn’t employ any other means, which was exceedingly odd.

However, between the Buzhou Mountain Illusion and the Mountain Ancestor, there was no energy being transferred, meaning the Mountain Ancestor hadn’t used his own Magical Power to support the Buzhou Mountain Illusion.

But why hadn’t the Mountain Ancestor used other means to deal with the Saint Ancestor and Sea Ancestor?

Ning Qi couldn’t figure it out for the moment, only feeling that the Mountain Ancestor was surely scheming something unknown to him.

The Sea Ancestor seemed to become even more frenzied.

Her face bore disbelief, filled with intense hatred, sorrow, and all manner of negative emotions, except joy.

Seeing this, the Saint Ancestor suddenly appeared beside the Sea Ancestor, chanting the nine-word magic spell to subdue demons.

From his mouth, golden Divine Texts flew out, drifting toward the Sea Ancestor.

The Sea Ancestor, like being illuminated by sunlight, obviously calmed down significantly.

”Don’t let emotions influence you, take a closer look at his state!”

After speaking, the Saint Ancestor formed a sword seal with his fingers and drew a charm resembling two eyes in the void.

The charm, also composed of Divine Texts, flew toward the Sea Ancestor’s eyes.

The Sea Ancestor’s body trembled slightly, her eyes opening and closing a few times.

This time, she seemed to truly see the Mountain Ancestor’s current state clearly.

”What is that?”

The Saint Ancestor said, ”The legendary Buzhou Mountain is the closest place to the Celestial Realm. Those cultivating in the Lower Realm, regardless of who they are, must pass through Buzhou Mountain to ascend to the Celestial Realm, thus, Buzhou Mountain is not a land of joy, but contains many dirges.”

Hearing the words of the two Ancestors, Ning Qi was taken aback.

He immediately activated the Golden Pupil of Illusion-breaking, looking at the current Mountain Ancestor and the Buzhou Mountain Illusion, but saw nothing different.

Could something exist that even he couldn’t see?

Ning Qi thought for a moment, choosing not to use his own body’s power, but instead directly transmitted a message to the Saint Ancestor:

”Old man, what exactly did you see, let me take a look too.”

The Saint Ancestor replied, ”Is this how you ask for a favor?”

Ning Qi retorted, ”Will you or won’t you do it? If you do, maybe I’ll consider your proposal.”

The Saint Ancestor squinted, no longer responding to Ning Qi’s words.

With one hand, he drew in the void and once again carved out a Divine Text Eye, sending it toward Ning Qi.

The Divine Text Eye floated before Ning Qi.

Ning Qi reached out to touch it, and the Divine Text Eye immediately shattered like golden light, illuminating his Golden Pupil of Illusion-breaking.

In an instant, Ning Qi felt as if his eyes were imbued with a power so strong, even he was in awe.

It was the power of Immortal Dao Aura!

Ning Qi hadn’t expected that the Saint Ancestor would grant him a trace of Immortal Dao Aura; does this mean that only those with Immortal Dao Aura can see the state of the Mountain Ancestor?

Feeling the changes in his eyes, Ning Qi silently memorized the sensation, capturing a subtle portion of the Immortal Dao Aura for secret study.

He opened his eyes again, looking at the Mountain Ancestor.

This time, what he saw was indeed different!

He still saw the Mountain Ancestor suspended in front of the Buzhou Mountain Illusion, with little change in his body.

However, the vast Buzhou Mountain Illusion behind him had altered.

Unexpectedly, numerous dense shadows of living beings appeared on it.

They were not entirely of the Human Race; instead, they encompassed many creature types. Those beings were like specters, floating above the Buzhou Mountain Illusion, silently bowing and worshipping the Mountain Ancestor!

Seeing this scene, Ning Qi felt a chill within his heart.

What on earth is happening?

Why are there so many spectral beings on the Buzhou Mountain Illusion summoned by the Mountain Ancestor?

Could they be the beings from the Ancient Era that passed through Buzhou Mountain? Or are they the beings that died when Buzhou Mountain toppled? Or perhaps something else entirely?

Ning Qi felt he had touched upon another secret, a terrifying tale surely hidden behind this secret.

Suddenly, the Sea Ancestor exclaimed, ”Father?”

She glanced over the numerous specters on the Buzhou Mountain Illusion, seemingly recognizing a familiar figure among them.

”Don’t watch those that resemble the beings from your memory, or you’ll eventually be drawn in too. They are all fake!” the Saint Ancestor advised.

Awakened by his words, the Sea Ancestor snapped out of it.

”Then, my recent attack...”

The Saint Ancestor understood what she meant to ask, ”I don’t know the specifics either, but it must be related to this eerie legacy. Even if he’s stronger than us, he couldn’t be unharmed after so many hits.”

The Sea Ancestor nodded in understanding.

The Mountain Ancestor gradually approached the massive Buzhou Mountain Illusion.

He gazed at the Saint Ancestor, coldly saying, ”I didn’t expect you, old bastard, to know so much. If I’d known, I should have killed you at the first opportunity!”

The Saint Ancestor chuckled, ”Humph, it’s uncertain who will kill whom.”

At this moment, the Sea Ancestor unexpectedly lunged at the Mountain Ancestor without a word.

Seeing this, the Saint Ancestor also followed the Sea Ancestor’s lead in attacking the Mountain Ancestor.

Watching the two come at him together, the Mountain Ancestor laughed frenziedly as he flew towards the Buzhou Mountain Illusion.

”Haha, didn’t I say from the start to attack me at the same time? Why wait until now!”

”Quickly intercept him!”

The Sea Ancestor and the Saint Ancestor launched their attacks simultaneously.

Countless Divine Texts and gray flame water blades filled the void, instantly surrounding the Mountain Ancestor.

But the Mountain Ancestor seemed oblivious, his figure turning transparent, swiftly slipping through all the attacks, directly entering the Buzhou Mountain Illusion.

”I will show you who the strongest among the two realms truly is, who can truly ascend and achieve that immortal True Immortal status.”

Upon entering the vast Buzhou Mountain Illusion, the Mountain Master made bold declarations, exuding an overwhelming presence.

He no longer looked at the two but gazed toward Ning Qi, Gong Tiandao, and the others.

”Gong Tiandao, why are you hesitating? Bring them to me now.”

Upon hearing this, Gong Tiandao’s eyes swiftly swept over everyone present.

”Yes!”

As soon as he spoke, a peculiar array pattern emerged beneath his feet, abruptly expanding to envelop everyone.

Even Zhao Yujun and the cultivators under the Sea Ancestor, as well as Ning Qi’s Sword Ancestor and others, were all included.

Ning Qi naturally focused on Gong Tiandao, immediately understanding his intent.

The array pattern was a Teleportation Array; clearly, he intended to teleport everyone nearby.

Ning Qi had already taken a step forward the moment Gong Tiandao’s array pattern emerged.

Under his feet, an array pattern also appeared.

Light and shadows fluctuated, disrupting the array pattern utilized by Gong Tiandao.

In the end, only Gong Tiandao, along with his cultivators and some under the Sea Ancestor who were closest to him, vanished from everyone’s sight.

When the others regained their senses, they found themselves inside the Divine Mountain Illusion, standing at the foot of the Mountain Ancestor.
