Mountain Ancestor Enters the Field

Ning Qi has always been very confident in his comprehension and memory.

The two complement each other.

But at this moment, he had a slight doubt, because the four words "Ancient Path Sacred Map" were fading from his memory.

Ning Qi's consciousness was operating at an alarming speed, but no matter what he did, he couldn't stop the fading of his memories; at most, he could only delay it for a few seconds.

For example, he unearthed all sorts of heavenly materials and earthly treasures and engraved four characters on them, but the four characters seemed to possess some kind of terrifying Demonic Power, erasing themselves.

Ning Qi then tried another method; for example, he scrambled four characters and put them together to form a sentence.

For example, he used homophones or acrostic poems to conduct rapid experiments.

But to Ning Qi's surprise, those four words still faded from his memory.

Ning Qi had a premonition that even if he could record it in the form of an acrostic or a homophone, he would eventually forget it completely.

Even if I see those four characters, I can't remember them at all.

Ning Qi even went so far as to use his will as a knife to inscribe four characters on his own consciousness and even his spiritual sense, but once inscribed, they would fade away even faster than the inscription itself.

Ning Qi suddenly closed his eyes; this was the first time he had encountered such a bizarre situation.

He sensed that his remaining memories were only enough for him to imprint once!

"On what should it be engraved so that it won't fade?"

Suddenly, Ning Qi took out a tattered leaf, the first rare treasure the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm had given him.

Ning Qi never knew what kind of tree the leaves came from, but it was true that they could block the perception of the spirit world's will.

If it can block the perception of the world's will, then blocking other things shouldn't be a problem either, right?

Before his memories faded, Ning Qi finally managed to engrave the four characters "Ancient Path Sacred Map" onto the withered leaf treasure.

Ning Qi stared at the rare treasure on the withered leaf. The four characters on it were meticulously engraved by him on the still intact leaf, extremely small.

This time, the four characters still undergo changes that resolve themselves.

But as soon as that change occurred, the withered leaf treasure moved, whether it was the wind that blew it, Ning Qi that was holding it moved, or it moved on its own.

Those four characters suddenly stopped fading away on their own.

Ning Qi was still afraid that it would disappear from his mind. Even staring at the four words on the leaf, he could only remember one word.

Just as Ning Qi was about to completely forget the four words, he was surprised to find that his memories were increasing and recovering at an extremely rapid pace.

"Got it?"

Ning Qi held the withered leaf in his hand, hardly believing it.

He discovered a new function in this withered leaf—it was even better than his memory!

Bah, I should say he's better at remembering unusual things than anyone else.

Ning Qi put away the withered leaf, wanting to see if anything would change if it wasn't in his possession.

But even after waiting a while, he still hadn't forgotten.

Ning Qi finally felt relieved.

He gazed at the sky, and suddenly Haizu asked Shengzu, "What did you just tell me?"

The Holy Ancestor frankly said, "If I tell you, you won't remember. Your memory is worse than an old person's, so don't ask any more questions!"

Haizu frowned, but then forgot the question she had just asked.

She reached out her jade-like hand and touched her forehead, but her mind was in a daze, and she didn't understand what had happened.

"Have I fallen into the trap of using the power of the Boundary Sea again?" she wondered to herself.

Ning Qi was also startled when he saw this scene.

Even Hai Zu can't remember? She's a powerhouse on par with the Holy Ancestor.

Ning Qi's gaze then fell on the Holy Ancestor.

The ancient scroll in the Holy Ancestor's hands had long since disappeared; he had hidden it away.

Ning Qi felt that the Holy Ancestor did not seem to be affected by the fading of this memory.

Could it be because he was the one who possessed the scroll?

Regardless, Ning Qi kept a close eye on it. He wanted to get his hands on it, but chose to remain inactive.

The Holy Ancestor's storage space isn't so easy to open.

At that moment, the Holy Ancestor also glanced at Ning Qi.

Ning Qi's furrowed brows pleased the Holy Ancestor immensely.

Kid, there are things you can't remember?

Ning Qi naturally noticed the Holy Ancestor's gaze and understood what he was doing.

"Hmph, old man, I'll lull you into a false sense of security first. I hope you'll still be laughing last when the war is over."

Within the boundaries of war.

Because the Holy Ancestor took out that ancient Daoist sacred map, the two who had just fought fell into an eerie silence, and neither of them had any intention of starting another war.

Haizu continued pressing his forehead, while Shengzu scanned the entire scene.

He had been waiting, waiting for the Mountain Ancestor of the Mountain and Sea Realm to enter.

After such a long war between the two realms and having witnessed so many cultivators from the Mountain and Sea Realm, the Holy Ancestor felt that he had already seen through the truth of this war.

The Sea Ancestor before them had very little desire to invade the Vast Realm.

As for Ning Qi, the Holy Ancestor had already divined Ning Qi future, and he believed he had a 70-80% accurate prediction.

The Holy Ancestor originally believed that he was still able to predict things with 100% accuracy, just like other people. However, considering Ning Qi's terrifying growth along the way, he added 20% more fluctuation to his divination.

Ning Qi would never want to attack the Vast Realm.

Therefore, the only one who could truly ignite the war in the spirit world was the Mountain Ancestor, who had yet to appear.

The funny thing is, according to the Holy Ancestor's own deduction, the guy who most wanted to attack the Vast Realm hasn't even made it to the scene yet. What kind of logic is that?

The Holy Ancestor glanced at everyone remaining in the War Realm with a hint of pity, including the Sea Ancestor and Ning Qi.

It seems they were all manipulated by that Mountain Ancestor!

Suddenly, the Holy Ancestor transmitted a message to Ning Qi.

"Kid, how much longer are you going to stay idle? Do you still want to reap the biggest rewards in this war?"

Ning Qi was speechless; this guy was trying to persuade him again.

At the same time, the Holy Ancestor seemed to be discussing something with the Sea Ancestor, who was pressing his forehead.

For the first time, Haizu displayed terrifying anger.

"Say one more word, and I will kill you at all costs!"

The two people the Holy Ancestor most wanted to persuade ignored him, leaving him quite embarrassed.

"Are these pig-brains really that loyal to the Mountain and Sea Realm? Can't they think outside the box and help my Vast Realm win?"

It's unclear whether he was referring to Ning Qi or Hai Zu.

Within the boundaries of mountains and seas.

On the summit of Jietian Peak.

The mountain peak stands tall, unmoved by wind, lightning, frost, or scorching heat.

He gazed at the face of the man from the War Frontier, which was sculpted with a sharp, three-dimensional physique, suggesting he must have been a handsome man in his youth.

Just as the Holy Ancestor took out the Ancient Dao Sacred Map, the Mountain Ancestor suddenly said, "It tells me that the old fellow took that thing out."

"Then why aren't you leaving?"

A voice came from behind the Mountain Ancestor. It was a dragon-faced attendant standing on the steps of the Heavenly Peak, wearing a dragon-shaped mask.

He, who usually only dared to act according to the laws of the Mountain Ancestor, actually spoke up on his own initiative, and there seemed to be a hint of urging in his tone.

Upon hearing this, the mountain ancestor in front also said, "Then why aren't you setting off?"

The two were saying the exact same thing, which instantly made Jietian Peak seem eerie.

"If you set off, then I'll set off too!"

"How about we play rock-paper-scissors to decide who goes where? That would be fairer."

Do we really need to distinguish between you and me so clearly?

"Can't you just not distinguish between them?"

If you can't tell them apart, how can others possibly do so?

"..."

In the end, the two voices became exactly the same; if anyone else had heard them, they would have been terrified to death.

However, the Mountain and Sea Realm is now like an empty shell, as the true powerhouses have long since entered the War Realm.

Call!

A gust of wind swept across the Heavenly Peak, and when it passed, there was no trace left, and no trace left either!

The two people on the summit vanished simultaneously.

Within the boundaries of war.

The Holy Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor still stood facing each other.

At this moment, Haizu, for reasons unknown, did not launch another attack on Shengzu.

She seemed to be humming a nameless and indistinct tune, with an occasional ethereal note reaching Ning Qi's ears.

Ning Qi recognized it as a widely circulated children's song, one that even people in their True Martial hummed.

What's going on?

Ning Qi didn't quite understand the current situation.

Hai Zu hummed a children's song, but Sheng Zu did not take this opportunity to attack Hai Zu.

The two ancestral enemies remained unmoved, and we remained unmoved, falling into an eerie silence.

The numerous cultivators from the Mountain and Sea Realm exchanged glances, quite pleased with themselves.

Finally, the two patriarchs stopped, and they were no longer bound by the torrents generated by their battle.

Among them, the happiest were naturally the cultivators under the Mountain Ancestor, led by Gong Heavenly Dao.

They almost knelt down and cried out, "Heaven has eyes, it protects the virtuous!"

Suddenly, the earth trembled, the Spiritual Qi of the entire war realm surged, and the power of the rules erupted once again.

The Heavenly Dao who were just happy now looked as if they had swallowed a whole raw bitter melon with seeds on. Their faces were as ugly as could be.

"God, you have no eyes!"

They only dared to curse in their hearts, but their eyes were all fixed on the direction of the Holy Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor.

However, to their surprise, the two remained in the same position, completely still.

However, both of them now turned their gazes toward the direction behind them.

"Could it be that..."

Gong Heavenly Dao immediately turned around to look.

All the cultivators under the Mountain Ancestor turned their heads one by one.

Where the War Realm meets the Mountain and Sea Realm, terrifying forces continuously vibrate, reaching their location and stirring up a great deal of dust along the way.

As if in response to their expectations, the boundary wall there was bulging outwards in waves, as if someone was beating a drum!

"Is this how all the ancestors of your Mountain and Sea Realm treat the Spirit Realm's boundary?"

The Holy Ancestor asked in a doubtful voice.

Hai Zu, who had just been humming a nursery rhyme, immediately regained his senses and stared in the direction of the Mountain and Sea Boundary.

The earth was still trembling, drawing everyone's attention.

Finally, a large hole was broken through the boundary wall between the mountains and the sea, and an incomparably burly figure stepped out from it.

He took each step with great force, and each step was exactly the same length, without the slightest difference.

The imposing figure was still on the horizon, but Gong Heavenly Dao had already taken the lead in shouting:

Your subordinate respectfully welcomes the Mountain Ancestor!

"Welcome, Mountain Ancestor!"

"Welcome, Mountain Ancestor!"

One shout followed another, each louder than the last, stirring up the crowd.

Ning Qi observed the other people at the scene.

A hint of disdain flashed across Zhao Yujun's pretty face, who was not far away, as if she was extremely annoyed by Gong Heavenly Dao and the others' actions.

Most of the cultivators under her command were the same.

Both the Sea Ancestor and the Holy Ancestor were watching the approaching, imposing figure.

Ning Qi also turned around and looked back.

The Mountain Ancestor has finally shown himself. Judging by his imposing presence, this must be his true form.

Ning Qi didn't know why he chose this moment to appear, but since the other party had appeared, his opportunity had arrived.

The Mountain Ancestor's arrival in the War Realm means there are no more Ancestor-level beings left in the Mountain and Sea Realm?

Ning Qi contacted the main body directly, preparing to go to the Mountain and Sea Realm to scout the location.

He can't easily use his reincarnation claim; he has to stay here. He'll just have to act as a humanoid radar camera.

The burly figure approached at a terrifying speed; he neither flew nor ran, but moved with a steady, unhurried pace.

But it was precisely this pace that made him faster and faster, and brought him closer and closer to the crowd.

"Shrinking the earth to an inch?"

After becoming a cultivator, especially after gaining the ability to fly on a sword, few cultivators still travel on foot.

That burly man was truly unique.

He strode forward, eventually stopping five miles away from the Holy Ancestor Haizu.

With his hands behind his back, the Mountain Ancestor seemed to stand atop a mountain range even while standing on the ground, his gaze carrying a sense of looking down.

"I stand atop the mountain, the peak is mine"—this phrase perfectly encapsulates the spirit of the mountain ancestor.

"Bring it on!"

His voice was loud and clear, like a bell, and he had no intention of delaying. He stared directly at the Holy Ancestor with a piercing gaze!

"Haoshan!"

Before the Holy Ancestor could speak, it was the Sea Ancestor who shrieked.

You know what time it is, you know I'm not here to see you.

Haoshan is the name of the Mountain Ancestor, and only a powerful figure of the same level as the Sea Ancestor would address him in this way.

Upon hearing this, Haizu's chest heaved.

Her face showed a hint of inner turmoil and struggle, but she quickly suppressed it.

"You always say the same thing to me, you always..."

"Enough!" the Mountain Ancestor shouted coldly. "If you really want to fight me here, then come at me together with that guy!"

Ning Qi saw Hai Zu clenching her fists tightly, her teeth grinding together, but in the end she still didn't make a move.

The Holy Ancestor also walked out step by step. As he passed by the Sea Ancestor, he gave her a meaningful wink.

Haizu saw it all, but remained unmoved.

The Holy Ancestor then whispered in Ning Qi's ear.

"Young man, I've decided to pass on my skills to you without reservation. Why don't you come at me together?"

Even now, the old man still wants to drag him down with him, to which Ning Qi simply rolls his eyes.

After thinking for a moment, he replied telepathically:

"Old man, the conditions you're offering are too insulting. I received invitations from those two to become my disciples when I was still in the Integration Realm."

Upon hearing this, the Holy Ancestor replied, "Are they sincere? What have they taught you so far?"

Before Ning Qi could respond, he added, "I'm different. I'll immediately teach you the Light-Character Divine Rune Array I just used!"

After the Holy Ancestor, he indeed transmitted a method for casting the Light Character Divine Script Array to Ning Qi.

To everyone's surprise, Ning Qi picked at his ear.

"I'm sorry, but I already learned this technique when you used it."

The Holy Ancestor paused in his steps.

He really wanted to slap Ning Qi ten thousand times to teach him a lesson for being arrogant, for being so cocky, and for being so cocky!
