Encountering the Sage Ancestor Again

The stone shield fragments magnified, transforming into meteors that streaked across the sky, pressing down on the twenty who had severed their Dao Integration.

The vast army of the Vast Realm stared in awe at the fierce figure in white, utterly shocked and dumbfounded.

They never expected Ning Qi to launch a preemptive attack, showing absolutely no fear!

Those were their predecessors, twenty Dao Integration Ancestors in the Vast Realm, including a disciple personally taken in by the Holy Ancestor Blood Slayer!

For the entire war realm at present, twenty self-severed Dao-merging cultivators can almost sweep across all realms, and no one can rival them.

But it is precisely because of this that Ning Qi's strength is highlighted.

Faced with the approaching meteor, Xue Shidi and his companions continued to flee the area while simultaneously putting up a fight.

This time, a total of ten people made a move.

Blade energy, Sword-Ray, wind blades, spear shadows, and various other rule-based attacks slashed towards each shooting star.

Rumble!

A deafening roar shook the heavens, and dust filled the sky, almost enveloping everyone and obscuring their vision.

Ning Qi flicked his long sleeves, and a gust of divine wind swept by, instantly revealing everyone's figures again.

The expressions of the twenty Dao Integration Realm cultivators grew even more grim. The more they interacted with Ning Qi, the more they realized just how terrifying Ning Qi was.

At this moment, everyone had only one question in their minds: Just who is this guy?

Could they be descendants of the legendary Mountain Ancestor and Sea Ancestor from the Mountain and Sea Realm?

That's all they could think of. After all, considering Ning Qi's age and talent, the fact that he could still overpower them meant that such an amazing genius was definitely not an ordinary person!

Dressed in scholar's robes, Wu Xu frowned and stared at Ning Qi, saying, "Damn it, if it weren't for the interference of the Mountain and Sea Realm's will, which forcibly suppressed our cultivation, how could we be in such a sorry state?"

Sun Lei also transmitted his voice, "You guys go first, I'll stay here and hold him off!"

Before the two could make a move, Xue Shidi suddenly stepped forward and transmitted his voice to the crowd, "Don't move! Listen to me!"

"Brother Xue, you..."

Blood Slayer continued, "You must unleash your full power and break free from the shackles of the Mountain and Sea Realm's will as soon as possible!"

His massive, pagoda-like body flew to the back of the group to deal with Ning Qi.

Upon seeing this, everyone's pupils contracted slightly.

"Brother Xue, are you going to use that thing?" Sun Lei asked.

"We can't afford to delay any longer!"

Bloodthirsty Enemy's eyes were bloodshot, and his aura continued to rise.

Ning Qi's five-colored giant palm slammed down on them, like a giant wave in the sea, crashing towards the sailboat that everyone was fleeing.

Blood Killer pulled a small scroll from his robes.

The scroll was small, even narrower than his palm, indicating that it contained very little content.

Next, Blood Killer poured his Law Power into it, and the scroll opened on its own, unfurling in his large hand.

Ning Qi's five-colored giant hand landed right in front of him.

At that moment, the five-colored giant hand seemed to be frozen in place by the scroll in the opponent's hand, unable to advance even an inch further!

Ning Qi paused for a moment, then looked at the scroll in his hand, as if he understood something.

Previously, when he fought Kuang Shanqing, the other party also took out a scroll of the Wind God Diagram. It seems that Xue Shidi must have something bestowed by the Holy Ancestor.

The scroll had been unrolled; this time it wasn't a painting, but a calligraphy copybook.

It bears a gleaming golden character for "town"!

Bloodthirsty Enemy, holding the calligraphy scroll, stared at Ning Qi and said:

"This is a talisman bestowed by our Holy Ancestor. Ning Qi, I originally didn't intend to use the Holy Ancestor's gift against you, but now you've forced me to!"

The Zhen copybook suddenly burst into flames, shining brightly. The copybook carrying it was burned out in an instant, leaving only an illusory word "Zhen" in the void.

Ning Qi thought this was the same as the previous Wind God Diagram, containing a hidden attack from the Holy Ancestor, and he had prepared countermeasures.

But what he didn't expect was that the golden word "Zhen" suddenly enlarged, and every stroke seemed to turn into a huge mountain, and like a cage, suppressing him.

At this moment, even the will of the nearby Mountain and Sea Realm seemed to be suppressed, and quickly retreated from this place.

The Bloodthirsty Enemy group then rushed outside.

Ning Qi faced the imposing characters alone, a slight ripple appearing in his usually calm eyes.

This marks his second indirect encounter with the Holy Ancestor of the Vast Realm.

Knowing full well that he had deciphered the previous Wind God Diagram, the other party still sent someone to bring this Zhenzi Scroll. What kind of power is hidden within it?

Ning Qi was very curious. His whole body was dyed with golden light. He didn't know whether it was the light released by Zhenzi or the halo released from his own body.

Ning Qi felt as if his entire being was being suppressed!

Not only his physical body and Primordial Spirit, but also the space around him was the same.

The word "Zhen" was stroked one by one, and finally landed next to him. Each stroke seemed to turn into a pillar of heaven, trapping Ning Qi inside it.

What's even more strange is that at this moment, tiny Zhen characters appear on it, like black lines of spells, rushing towards him, crawling along his skin, as if to completely tie him down and suppress him!

"Interesting!"

Two sharp glints flashed in Ning Qi's eyes.

The Holy Ancestor of the Vast Realm is indeed different; he can bring him a different experience every time.

Ning Qi didn't take his opponent seriously, not even those like Xue Shidi who had reached the Dao Integration Realm.

Because Ning Qi himself knew almost all of the rules of power cultivated by Xue Shidi and the other twenty people, he could easily understand them at a glance, given his extraordinary comprehension.

But the Holy Ancestor was different; his opponent was proficient in both calligraphy and painting, and seemed to possess considerable power of rules as well.

The last time, he contained his own beliefs in the Wind God painting, while also integrating the rules of wind into the painting.

This time, they actually suppressed him with just one word!

Ning Qi sensed the meaning his Holy Ancestor was trying to convey. It seemed that the other party was also extremely curious about him, and therefore prepared to use this word to suppress and bind him, intending to take him back to the Vast Realm.

Blood Killer and the others had retreated quite a distance. As they charged forward, they looked back at Ning Qi.

The Holy Ancestor has used all his methods, so there shouldn't be any problems, right?

Blood Slayer recalled the words the sect leader of the Haoran Immortal Sect had said to him when he left the Haoran Realm.

"Slay the Enemy! This time, the Holy Ancestor sent you there for two reasons: first, to reverse the disadvantage in the war zone and prevent the Mountain and Sea Realm from establishing a bridgehead first; second, it would be best to capture Ning Qi, as the Holy Ancestor is very interested in him!"

When Xue Shidi heard this, he didn't pay much attention.

It's not that I'm refuting the Holy Ancestor, but if Ning Qi can't get past them and dies at their hands, then there's no need to capture him!

But now, after truly fighting Ning Qi, Xue Shidi finally understood why the Holy Ancestor wanted to capture this guy.

In terms of talent, they were no match for Ning Qi; in terms of strength, the twenty of them were still no match for Ning Qi. Considering Ning Qi's previous unpredictable appearance and his instantaneous capture of three nodes to summon the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm, even a cultivator from the Vast Realm like Xue Shidi had to admire him!

Right now, the most important thing for them is whether they can capture Ning Qi!

Blood Killer and others even felt that even if Ning Qi later joined the war between the two realms, he would probably still be able to shine brightly.

Their spiritual senses remained focused on Ning Qi, wanting to see if Ning Qi would be suppressed.

At this moment, Ning Qi's white clothes were covered with black spells, which were all chains of Zhen characters of different sizes.

Ning Qi's aura also subsided.

The huge Zhenzi sealed the surrounding void. If Ning Qi didn't have the ability to break the Saint Ancestor's attack, he would never be able to escape.

They immediately thought their mission was accomplished.

Ning Qi hovered in the void, and contrary to what outsiders might expect, he gently closed his eyes.

In the realm of the mind, the phantom of an old man appeared.

Ning Qi stared at the old man. Although it was the first time he had seen the old man's appearance, Ning Qi still recognized him.

"So you are the Holy Ancestor of the Vast Realm?"

The old man, who looked as simple and unassuming as a scholar, also looked at Ning Qi and nodded slightly.

"Few can withstand my suppression, yet you can speak so calmly. What a pity, it seems I still cannot subdue you this time."

Ning Qi understood his implied meaning and immediately asked, "This time? Were you able to sense it last time too?"

The Holy Ancestor smiled, and his figure suddenly enlarged, filling Ning Qi's entire spiritual world, completely enveloping it like a celestial canopy.

"You said last time that I had a low perspective, right?"

Ning Qi was taken aback.

Last time, he was trapped by the Wind God Diagram, and the Wind God wanted to trample him underfoot so that he could become an immortal Golden Immortal.

With his stronger will, Ning Qi flipped the opponent over and trampled him under his feet.

He muttered something to himself at the time, roughly meaning that the Holy Ancestor's heart was not big enough, and he was still trapped in the spiritual realm of achieving the immortal Golden Immortal.

After all, that's what the Wind God Diagram meant: the Holy Ancestor was still confused about the path ahead because he had not yet broken through to the Dao Integration stage and truly entered the Immortal Realm to become Golden Immortal.

Therefore, his goals could only be so limited, which can only be considered as having a very narrow vision.

Ning Qi's true form is that of a Realm Lord, who created his own cultivation path for Realm Lords, integrating all the paths of the world into himself. He had long seen the road ahead.

Golden Immortal is not what he seeks; it is merely scenery along the way.

Ning Qi was surprised that the Holy Ancestor had actually sensed it, and this time he was testing him in a different way.

Ning Qi looked up at the overwhelming figure of the Holy Ancestor that had appeared in his spiritual world.

He was wondering why the other person would do that.

Did he enlighten the other person?

However, the Holy Ancestor should not know his specific thoughts, but because he broke his Wind God Diagram last time and suppressed the Wind God representing his will under him, it should be because of this that he aroused the other party's interest.

"Do you really think you can defeat me in my mental world?" Ning Qi said calmly.

The Holy Ancestor looked down at him, "You are quite confident. Nowadays, those who have the confidence to challenge me are almost extinct!"

"That's because you are the Holy Ancestor of the Vast Realm, and naturally everyone in the Vast Realm is inferior to you. But to say that those who challenge you have disappeared is too absolute. Aren't the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm, the Mountain Ancestor, and the Sea Ancestor all waiting to fight you?"

The Holy Ancestor seemed to turn his head to glance outside, then smiled and said:

"They're no match for me. The will of the Mountain and Sea Realm, the Mountain Ancestor, and the Sea Ancestor are all scheming against each other, constantly restraining one another. How could they possibly fight me?"

After saying that, his gaze returned to Ning Qi, and he said, "As for you, I think you have a chance."

"Yeah?"

Ning Qi's eyes suddenly emitted two different lights, one yin and one yang. His left eye was like the moon, and his right eye was like the sun, making him appear extremely mysterious.

"You..."

Upon seeing Ning Qi's change, the Holy Ancestor's will was momentarily stunned.

He saw the yin and yang in Ning Qi's eyes constantly changing, as if he were creating everything, or as if he were returning to the beginning, the origin of everything.

Upon closer inspection, everything had vanished.

However, their perspectives changed.

For the first time, the Holy Ancestor's face showed a blank expression, because he realized that he seemed to have become Ning Qi, while Ning Qi had become him.

He was the one standing below, while Ning Qi became the one who enveloped his entire mental world!

The Holy Ancestor was somewhat confused for a moment.

"Did I become Ning Qi, or did Ning Qi become me?"

Within the Haoran Immortal Sect.

The Holy Ancestor who was painting stood there for a moment. When he came back to his senses, he found that he had lost contact with the word "Zhen".

"..."

The Holy Ancestor gazed at the war zone and murmured, "Amazing!"

And within the realm of war.

Ning Qi has fully recovered from being suppressed.

Within the black runes covering its body, a two-colored light seemed to emerge.

One light, golden and one dark; the golden light dispelled the black runes, while the dark light followed, engulfing and absorbing all the black runes.

Similarly, the word Zhen itself, which looked like a pillar of heaven on the outside, also poured into Ning Qi's body stroke by stroke.

Ning Qi let out a soft groan of pleasure.

This scene was as if time had reversed; two-colored light flowed around the white-clad figure, making him appear like Gods and Devils from the ruins, impervious to all magic.

Upon seeing this, everyone's newly raised hopes vanished instantly, and everyone gaped in disbelief.

The calligraphy scroll bestowed by the Holy Ancestor has actually been deciphered!

This place was filled with cultivators from the Vast Realm. Like Kuang Shanqing whom Ning Qi had defeated before, their faces were pale, as if their lifelong beliefs had been shattered.

"This can't be real!"

Some people shook their heads, unwilling to believe it.

"How could this be...?"

Someone exclaimed.

Many more remained silent.

Now that Ning Qi, what will become of their fate?

Ning Qi stretched comfortably.

He turned and gazed at Xue Shidi and the others who were about to escape the range of the Mountain and Sea Realm's will, and pointed directly with a finger.

The void trembled, and the will of the surrounding Mountain and Sea Realm seemed to become more active, instantly condensing into an invisible wall on the outer perimeter, completely sealing off their escape route.

Blood Killer and the others' expressions changed several times.

Ning Qi snapped his fingers.

Suddenly, three teleportation gates opened behind him.

The images of the armies from the Xuanzhen Domain, Fuyou Domain, and Langya Domain were reflected on it, and in a short while, they actually emerged.

The three armies lined up behind him, all saying, "Domain Lord!"

"Go, take care of them!"

"Yes!"

Ning Qi left behind the three commanders of the army, namely Jian Zu, Qi Keqing, and Zhu Yanchuan.

"Go and fight them yourselves."

Ning Qi pointed at Xue Shidi and the others, "They are from the Haoran Realm who severed their own Dao Integration. It's not easy to find such opponents; we must not miss this opportunity!"

Upon hearing this, Sword Ancestor and the others were all taken aback.

Twenty self-severing cultivators who attained Dao?

Before they could make any further moves, another phantom emerged from the ring on Ning Qi's finger.
