Nine Suns Traverse the Sky

Within the Peach Blossom Spring, the battle between the Holy Ancestor's avatar and Ning Qi has temporarily ceased.

"Do you really think I'm your ally, and not your enemy?"

Ning Qi asked curiously.

The Holy Ancestor's avatar stared intently at him and slowly said:

"I began learning the art of divination at the age of one hundred. Before the age of one thousand, I was often half right and half wrong. By the age of ten thousand, I was able to maintain a nine-to-one accuracy."

"When I turned 30,000, I made a mistake, but it was ultimately proven that I was not wrong. Now, countless millennia have passed since I turned 30,000. Do you think I would make a mistake in my divination?"

"If you can really make a mistake, it means you must possess a secret that even someone at my level finds difficult to uncover."

Ning Qi frowned slightly.

Running into a fortune teller is troublesome, but he really doesn't believe this old guy can predict everything about him. Ning Qi doesn't believe in fate!

Not only did Ning Qi not believe in fate, but if someone embarking on the path of cultivation truly believed in fate, then what was the point of cultivating immortality?

The Holy Ancestor's avatar kept a close eye on Ning Qi's expression and saw that his gaze was firm and he was not swayed by his words.

Upon hearing this, the Holy Ancestor once again held Ning Qi in higher regard.

What is his identity?

As the only ancestor in the Vast Realm, the strongest cultivator, and a near-immortal, his words could be said to be law within the Vast Realm.

They can decide your life or your death!

As long as he makes his word, no one in the Haoran Realm will dare not obey, let alone those who do not believe him.

It was precisely because of this that Ning Qi's courage to question him to his face earned him a glance from the Holy Ancestor's avatar.

This shows the courage of a young person to surpass their predecessors. Only with this ambition can one avoid living in the shadow of their predecessors.

Clearly, such a person does not exist in the Vast Realm!

In the Mountain and Sea Realm, according to the Holy Ancestor's observation, the two sect leaders he had just encountered, Zhao Yujun and Gong Heavenly Dao, were the strongest cultivators under the Mountain Ancestor and Sea Ancestor of the Mountain and Sea Realm. However, both of them showed solemn expressions when they saw him.

This alone proves Ning Qi's difference.

He possesses a mindset that surpasses everyone else's; he will never be deterred by the strength of his predecessors, nor will he ever yield to them.

Regardless of who the predecessors were, whether they were the sect leader of the strongest immortal sect, the will of a realm, or even the ancestor of a realm!

That's why the Holy Ancestor thought Ning Qi was a promising talent after Ning Qi previous indirect encounter.

Therefore, he sent his clone first, partly for the cultivators of the Vast Realm, partly for Ning Qi, and also related to the divination he obtained.

Ning Qi stared directly at the Holy Ancestor's avatar, and still couldn't help but ask, "Although I don't believe in fate, I still want to know in what way you consider me to be an asset to you?"

He said this to test what the Holy Ancestor had actually foreseen about him.

The Holy Ancestor laughed and said, "It seems you don't believe in fate, but you can't help being curious, can you?"

You could say that.

The Holy Ancestor glanced at the Peach Blossom Spring space, as if he could see the outside scene through the space.

In his perception, the battle situation outside had completely shifted towards the Mountain and Sea Realm.

"Boy, you're clearly not one to stay subservient to others for long. If you're this 'rude' to me, I imagine you'll treat your Mountain Ancestor and Sea Ancestor of your Mountain and Sea Realm the same way."

"Now that the two worlds are at war, isn't this a tremendous opportunity for true trendsetters?"

"Don't be fooled by those two idiots starting the war; who will ultimately have the last laugh remains to be seen."

"So, I won't hide it from you. The divination I performed shows that you are the biggest variable in this war in the spirit world!"

After the Holy Ancestor finished speaking, he continued to observe Ning Qi's expression.

Ning Qi's expression remained unchanged, but a sense of vigilance crept in from the depths of his heart.

He continued to probe, "Even if that's all you've figured out? Who knows if you're lying to me? If I really believe you, I'll have nowhere to go."

Just kidding, even if what this old man said is true, he would still have to deny it outright.

Otherwise, if they actually admitted it, wouldn't they be giving this old man a handle to use against them?

The old face of the Holy Ancestor's avatar now showed a more solemn expression.

"Young man, in this paradise space, we can shield ourselves from external perception. Why don't you share your thoughts?"

"I'm telling you, you son of a bitch!"

Ning Qi cursed inwardly.

Seeing that Ning Qi remained silent, even the Holy Ancestor's avatar was taken aback.

Although this young man is young, he is extremely experienced, and he remains unmoved no matter what you say.

He had once read a story from the Three Kingdoms period, in which all the generals, whether they were grand generals or Commander of various states, were easily persuaded.

Ning Qi is young and ambitious, with extraordinary talent, so how come his mentality is still so stable? It's simply outrageous!

The Holy Ancestor's avatar had no choice but to say, "Fine, you don't have to say it. Anyway, I can't stay here with you any longer. If you want to gain the most from this Spirit Realm War, then you can't let my Vast Realm lose so easily, otherwise..."

Ning Qi rolled his eyes at him before solemnly declaring, "I am from the Mountain and Sea Realm. I can't control others, but if you harm my people, I will not forgive you!"

"Um?"

The Holy Ancestor was taken aback.

He suddenly smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then it's settled!"

Ning Qi retorted, "What do you mean it's settled? I didn't say anything. But what are you planning to do?"

The Holy Ancestor looked beyond the Peach Blossom Spring space, "What else can we do?"

Ning Qi suddenly charged directly at him, "I promised Zhao Yujun, the sect leader of the Moon Sea Immortal Sect, that I would deal with you. How can I let you leave so easily?"

At this moment, countless Dao Sword Particles once again appeared around Ning Qi.

Various rule-based sword pellets rained down on the Holy Ancestor, who nearly cursed. Had all his previous explanation been for nothing?

Did this kid even listen to what he said, or was he deliberately trying to fool himself?

At this moment, the Holy Ancestor had absolutely no idea what Ning Qi meant.

However, the countless sword pellets of the Great Dao caused the Holy Ancestor's expression to change slightly.

These sword pellets are no longer the same as before; divine runes now flash across their surfaces.

Ning Qi had actually managed to steal his Hundred Word Divine Ability so quickly, and even applied it in other ways, completely integrating it into his own Great Dao Sword Pill.

This child is absolutely terrifying!

In an instant, the Holy Ancestor's avatar suddenly shouted, "Nine-Syllable Mantra for Subduing Demons!"

Suddenly, nine gleaming, unique golden characters flew out of his mouth.

Each word shone with a golden luster, and as soon as it flew out, it transformed into a large sphere, like the sun.

The nine characters linked together truly resemble the nine suns moving through the sky, as if returning to the era of mythology.

As the sword beam swept across the sky, all of Ning Qi's sword pellets collided with it, and in just an instant, a significant portion of them were melted.

Immediately afterwards, Ning Qi saw nine great suns in the sky, their golden light shining down.

Within the nine golden suns, countless illusory figures were being conceived.

At this moment, it seemed as if the entire space was filled with the chanting of the Dao and the resounding of Zen, uttering grand and majestic Dharma words.

And every ray of light they cast, falling into the void, would reveal the same tiny characters.

Once this Divine Ability was unleashed, Ning Qi's Great Dao Sword Pellet seemed to be frozen in space, unable to advance any further.

Seeing this, Ning Qi also shouted angrily.

"Ten Thousand Swords Open Lotus!"

Instantly, all the remaining sword pellets he possessed transformed into a lotus-like form.

Bathed in the light of the Holy Ancestor's Nine-Syllable Mantra for Subduing Demons, all the lotus flowers rapidly absorbed the power of the mantra, much like plants in nature undergo photosynthesis.

In an instant, golden lotuses bloomed in the void, filling the air with a unique fragrance.

This idyllic space became dreamlike and ethereal at this moment, like a fairyland.

This scene prompted the Holy Ancestor to clap his hands in admiration.

He never expected Ning Qi's adaptability to be so remarkable.

He was certain that this move was something Ning Qi had grasped on the spot, not Divine Ability he had learned in ordinary times!

Even his Nine-Character Mantra for Subduing Demons wasn't something he comprehended himself; rather, he learned it from a fragment of ancient bronze that fell out of a book he had read extensively in his early years.

Even he spent a hundred years practicing this Divine Ability before he could truly master it.

The Holy Ancestor was certain that it was impossible for anyone in either realm to have seen this before.

But now...

In the void, hundreds of golden lotuses bloomed, quickly and perfectly adapting to his Divine Ability, turning a disadvantage into an advantage!

The next second, all the golden lotuses shot out boundless Sword Qi and bloomed with mantras, shooting towards the Holy Ancestor.

The Holy Ancestor immediately pressed down, and instantly, a golden sun fell from the sky, blocking his way.

Ning Qi's attack landed on the golden sun.

Pfft! Pfft!

The halo resembled a calm water surface, splashing out countless points of light, and also rippled outwards like water waves.

Ning Qi followed and rushed in, at this moment he was completely unafraid of the golden sun in the sky.

He was surrounded by golden lotuses, like a handsome young man passing through a garden of flowers without a single petal clinging to him.

Suddenly, he pointed at the Holy Ancestor.

All the golden lotuses merged into one, forming a giant sword that crashed down on the Holy Ancestor.

Rumble!

The remaining eight golden suns in the sky also fell towards Ning Qi, their grandeur resembling falling stars.

At this moment, the entire Peach Blossom Spring space was shaking violently, and it was beginning to falter under the strain of the two's battle.

As all the golden suns crashed down and Ning Qi's golden lotus attack finished, the Peach Blossom Spring space, like a torn painting, shattered completely with a crack.

It was already stretched to its limit by the enormous serpent, and now, with the two fighting so fiercely, how could it possibly hold on any longer?

Ouch!

With a scream, a figure fell out as the Peach Blossom Spring space shattered.

Within the Central Region.

All the fighting cultivators looked over and saw Ning Qi being thrown out.

Above the void, an old man stood suspended in mid-air, his face filled with astonishment.

The Holy Ancestor's avatar stared at Ning Qi, who had flown out, with a mixture of surprise and doubt.

"That kid..."

His magic was absolutely incapable of making Ning Qi let out a miserable scream.

He frowned slightly, seemingly understanding Ning Qi's thoughts.

Recalling their previous conversation, the kid must have done it on purpose; he probably agreed to my suggestion.

Ning Qi tumbled through the air like a cannonball, landing not far from Zhao Yujun.

The three sect leaders were locked in a fierce battle, but Jiang Yingchu was not someone to be trifled with. Even now, Zhao Yujun and Gong Heavenly Dao had not yet managed to subdue him.

It could be said that he was essentially a smaller version of the Holy Ancestor, with all his knowledge bearing the shadow of the Holy Ancestor.

Are you alright?

Zhao Yujun cast a concerned look at Ning Qi and transmitted her voice.

Ning Qi stopped, patted off non-existent dust from his body, and wiped the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, seemingly removing a trace of blood.

"Never mind me, I said I'd deal with the Holy Ancestor's avatar!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yujun felt a surge of admiration.

Although Ning Qi is excessively young, he is at least full of masculinity, much better than Gong Heavenly Dao!

Gong Heavenly Dao, who was fighting Jiang Yingchu, naturally saw this scene as well, and he was also shocked.

Although Ning Qi annoyed him, at least he was somewhat reliable.

The Holy Ancestor's avatar gazed intently at Ning Qi's performance, his eyes deep and unfathomable.

His eyes seemed to say: Kid, it's a waste of your acting skills if you don't go into opera!

However, now that the Peach Blossom Spring space has shattered, he doesn't have much power left.

The Holy Ancestor's gaze swept across the entire audience.

Instead of taking this opportunity to summon the Dao-merging phantom, he prepared to use his remaining power to summon something else.

Ning Qi was considering whether to attack the Holy Ancestor again when suddenly he saw the Holy Ancestor's avatar glowing brightly and flying straight towards the Heavenly Realm Wall of the Central Region.

What exactly is this guy trying to do?

Next, everyone saw that the Holy Ancestor's avatar seemed to have ascended to immortality.

His clones transformed into specks of light, passing through the boundary wall of the Central Region.

The entire Central Region seemed to be shaken by his actions.

Suddenly, the illusory image of the will of the Vast Realm appeared beside him, and the illusory image of the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm also appeared in the Central Region.

"What is that?" the illusory figure of the Mountain and Sea Realm asked in surprise and uncertainty.

The illusory image of the Vast Realm's will continuously gathered energy from the Central Region and channeled it towards the point of light that the Holy Ancestor had transformed into.

The next moment.

The group then discovered that the boundary wall seemed to have opened up a dark spatial passage.

The spatial passage was initially no bigger than a fist, but it was then rapidly enlarged, expanding to a range of three miles in the blink of an eye.

However, it only lasted for a fleeting moment.

However, in that very instant, hundreds of terrifying beings descended from the dark spatial passage.

They are neither human nor cultivators; they vary in appearance, but all exhibit ferocity.

Hundreds of monsters, resembling Fierce Beasts, demon kings, and even twisted humans, drooled from their mouths and stared with blood-red eyes at the cultivators of the Mountain and Sea Realm in the Central Region.

"Could this be a monster of exile?"

The illusory image of the Mountain and Sea Realm's will suddenly trembled.

"Oh no, that guy actually summoned something like this! I have to notify Haoshan Qinghai right away. I didn't expect to encounter something like this during this Spirit Realm War!"

He did not leave, but instantly communicated with his main body's will and sent out an avatar within the Mountain and Sea Realm to communicate with the Two Ancestors of Mountain and Sea.

Then, the illusory image of the Mountain and Sea Realm's will looked at the cultivators of the Mountain and Sea Realm, mainly at Ning Qi.

"Kid, this monster is incredibly terrifying. You're probably the only one who can handle it. You'll have to work hard!"

Ning Qi heard his telepathic message and was quite speechless.

Why were we given such a tricky task again?

As the master of the True Martial Realm, he sensed the commotion within the Boundary Sea when the Holy Ancestor's avatar constructed the spatial passage.

The Holy Ancestor's avatar seemed to have used its remaining energy as bait to summon these terrifying monsters.

Even Ning Qi felt a little troubled when he saw these guys.

Because these were different from the Boundary Sea Fierce Beasts that had previously entered the Boundary Sea, Ning Qi clearly sensed a power emanating from them that even he found somewhat unsettling.
