Six Paths Immortal Wheel

In the past, there was a cultivator who severed the path to immortality by forcibly assimilating Boundless Evil Qi in order to achieve rapid advancement.

However, he was instead bewitched and manipulated by Boundless Evil Qi, leaving him to wander the world and the Boundary Sea.

Such Evil Cultivator are called "human demons," and they can even defeat immortals!

The Inheritance of the Mountain Ancestor includes the following account.

However, this account is very vague and is not the original Inheritance of Mount Buzhou, but rather something added by later generations.

After the High Antiquity Mount Buzhou collapsed, some cultivators survived on some of its remains until they were completely wiped out by some unknown catastrophe.

That description was added by later cultivators, and it vaguely reveals that the Twisted Monsters in the Boundary Sea are also related to humans and demons.

This information flashed through Shan Zu's mind. He never expected that the human demon would appear before his eyes.

He even witnessed the birth of a human demon!

"Capable of reversing the fate of immortals..."

The Mountain Ancestor stared intently at Ning Qi, the last paragraph of text replaying in his mind.

His expression changed abruptly, and he was unable to calm down.

The Mountain Ancestor even felt a pang of regret; why had he forced Ning Qi into demonic possession?

Ahead, Ning Qi stood amidst the turbulent currents of the Boundary Sea, his body enveloped in a swirling vortex of Yin and Yang energies.

Within the yin-yang diagram, two fish, one bright and one dark, chase each other head to tail, as if they are playing and competing.

Originally, in this Yin-Yang Daoist diagram, which evolved from the various powers that Ning Qi had comprehended, the two swimming fish were presented in distinct black and white.

The two interact with each other, giving rise to all the myriad paths in the world, and even spontaneously giving rise to wisps of immortal aura.

The spontaneous generation of Ning Qi's cultivation level, according to the conventional cultivation system, has reached the limit of the Dao Integration Realm.

He has already stood before the Immortal Gate. If he continues to hone his skills, he will be able to summon the Immortal Gate with his immortal aura. Once he gains the Immortal Gate's approval, he can ascend to immortality in one step.

However, now, a strange change has occurred in these two magical fish.

As Ning Qi crushed that Boundless Evil Qi and merged it into the Yin-Yang Dao Diagram, the immortal aura that naturally arose within it was actually squeezed into the black fish's body.

In an instant, the black fish swung its tail, causing the yin-yang diagram to spin faster as it chased after the celestial energy and crashed head-on into it.

The ethereal energy, finding nowhere to escape, transformed into two twinkling stars, adorning the blackfish's eyes, instantly giving the fish a sense of life.

The Boundless Evil Qi was drawn into the white fish's side, and the white fish leaped up and swallowed it whole.

Boundless Evil Qi twisted and struggled within the white fish's body, unwilling to be absorbed, and desperately tried to penetrate outwards.

The white fish rotates its body, forcefully swallows the food, and eventually absorbs it.

Strands of black light flew from its body toward its head, adding a touch of liveliness to its white body.

A fish with yang eyes has yin eyes, and a fish with yin eyes has yang eyes; such is the mystery of creation.

The two fish continued to chase and play, giving the original Yin-Yang diagram a special Dao Resonance and spirituality!

Ning Qi was taken aback as he sensed the changes in the Yin-Yang diagram.

In his original plan, he intended for the immortal energy to permeate the white fish, Boundless Evil Qi to permeate the black fish.

But the two French fish spontaneously leaped, changing everything.

Immortal energy intertwined with Boundless Evil Qi, and a special power was transmitted into Ning Qi's body through the Dao diagram.

Ning Qi felt that all the powers within his body had completely merged into one at this moment, achieving a strange balance.

His heart was calm and undisturbed, neither sad nor happy, as if he had entered a profound state of enlightenment.

Ning Qi raised his eyes and looked towards the distant Mountain Ancestor.

He was indeed weaker than the Mountain Ancestor in terms of power when they clashed palms before, but now...

Their eyes met, their gazes locked, a sharp clash of wits, their auras completely locked together.

"You..."

The mountain ancestor was deeply shocked and didn't know what to say.

The demonic possession he had imagined did not happen to Ning Qi, which relieved him.

If Ning Qi were to truly transform into a demon and be controlled by Evil Qi, and given the turbulent currents of the Boundary Sea, what terrifying things might happen? Even the Mountain Ancestor dared not imagine.

But compared to becoming a demon, Ning Qi's failure to become a human-demon was even more terrifying to the Mountain Ancestor.

He had already experienced the terrifying power of that Boundless Evil Qi once. If he hadn't already become an immortal, the Mountain Ancestor believed that if he were at the Dao Integration Realm, he would definitely have been transformed by it.

Ning Qi, however, remained conscious, further enhanced by the Dao diagram manifesting around him...

The Mountain Ancestor was shocked to find that his sharp immortal eyes could no longer see through Ning Qi.

"Didn't you say my strength level couldn't match yours? Let's try again now?"

Ning Qi smiled, revealing his teeth, and clenched his fist.

He moved swiftly, instantly teleporting to the front of the Mountain Ancestor.

"Take this palm strike, the Myriad Manifestations Hand!"

In an instant, all things in the world seemed to emerge from chaos, and all spirits roared, their cries like thunder.

Ning Qi struck at the Mountain Ancestor with a palm strike.

The Mountain Ancestor regained his senses and struck out with his own palm.

"Severing Immortal Lotus Palm!"

The two palms collided, almost identical to the previous scene.

The turbulent currents of the Boundary Sea are clouded with dark clouds, yet they are even more expansive than before.

Endless lightning bolts surged through the dark clouds, each capable of killing a Dao Integration Realm cultivator.

Rumble!

The thunder continued for a long time, and finally, both figures were simultaneously repelled by the other.

Between the two, the dark clouds were gradually swallowed up by the turbulent currents of the Boundary Sea, as if nothing had ever happened.

Let's look at the two of them again.

The Mountain Ancestor's hands trembled slightly, and he felt a numbness in his immortal body.

He looked at Ning Qi across from him. Ning Qi flexed his wrists as if nothing had happened, staring intently at him with a hint of excitement in his eyes.

"How is this possible?"

The Mountain Ancestor thought to himself in disbelief.

He underwent a baptism by the immortal sect, and both his spiritual power and physical body were greatly enhanced.

It can be said that after becoming an immortal, life is completely different from before.

However, now, he was actually struck by a Dao Integration cultivator, causing his immortal body to go numb, while the other party was completely unaffected!

"Again!"

Ning Qi let out a low shout, and the Yin-Yang diagram swirled, connecting with the turbulent Boundary Sea, automatically injecting a large amount of energy into his body.

Without stopping, he charged towards the Mountain Ancestor again.

The Mountain Ancestor felt his Immortal Power being increasingly depleted, and he had no words to express his suffering.

He can't keep dragging this out any longer; otherwise, he won't be able to handle what happens next.

Although the Mountain Ancestor opened the gate to immortality and obtained an immortal body, this was not yet a true success.

Ever since he received the Inheritance Mount Buzhou, the mountain ancestor has been plotting to become an immortal.

His plan included becoming the ancestor of a realm, utilizing the Sea Ancestor, instigating a war in the spirit realm, and sacrificing both realms.

This was all part of his plan, but the plan wasn't finished yet.

After completing all the preceding steps, he can become an immortal. After becoming an immortal, he will still have to deal with some extremely troublesome matters.

This is because his Inheritance Mount Buzhou is incomplete, and summoning the remnants of Mount Buzhou will trigger some unpredictable events, and he will also have to cross the Boundary Sea!

Thinking of this, Shan Zu felt quite anxious; he really couldn't afford to waste any more time.

The Mountain Ancestor's gaze swept over Ning Qi, and he said coldly:

"It's all because of your appearance that all my plans have been disrupted. You must pay the price."

Upon hearing this, Ning Qi almost laughed out of anger.

What do you mean by saying that because he disrupted the plan, everything has to go according to the mountain ancestor's idea?

These high and mighty people always have a kind of compulsive disorder that makes everything in the world have to revolve around them, and they will blame others if there is the slightest deviation.

"Further discussion is pointless."

A sword suddenly flew out from beside Ning Qi, and he grabbed the hilt.

Ning Qi ran his left hand over the blade; it had been a long time since he had used a physical sword.

With a sword in hand, Ning Qi exuded the focused aura unique to sword cultivators.

"One sword can shatter all laws!"

With a single sword strike, a vast Sword Qi, as boundless as a rainbow, instantly pierced through the turbulent currents of the Boundary Sea and slashed towards the opponent's Mountain Ancestor.

The Mountain Ancestor frowned. He had originally planned to use his immortal hand to capture the Sword Qi, but at the last moment, he had a sudden inspiration and actually shifted his body to avoid the Sword-Ray.

The Sword Qi swept across the Boundary Sea, instantly tearing apart countless Boundary Sea vortexes.

The power of this sword strike was so great that even a spirit realm being in front of it would be easily pierced through; its sharpness was extreme.

The Mountain Ancestor's eyelids twitched, and he couldn't help but secretly rejoice that he hadn't used his immortal body to withstand the sword strike.

After Ning Qi merged with the Boundless Evil Qi, his attacks underwent a qualitative change, becoming so powerful that even he had to avoid its edge.

A sense of shame welled up in Shanzu's heart, but he quickly suppressed it.

The change in the immortal's heart made the mountain ancestor even more vigilant.

If he continues to entangle with Ning Qi, he fears he won't even be able to maintain his immortal heart.

Cultivators in the Immortal Realm are extremely rare, even among billions of cultivators.

Even if there is success, it does not mean there will be no setbacks.

Doubting oneself leads to the loss of one's immortal heart; the events recorded in the Mount Buzhou Inheritance flashed through the Mountain Ancestor's mind.

His ethereal eyes, opening and closing, reflected Ning Qi's image.

"Six Paths Immortal Wheel!"

"The mountain ancestor said softly."

The pure, ethereal radiance emanating from him gradually became hazy.

The ethereal energy intertwined, forming six indistinct celestial wheels in a hazy mist.

Each of the celestial wheels is like a small world, surrounding the Mountain Ancestor in the center and revolving around it.

"May your soul return!"

As the Mountain Ancestor uttered a Dharma word, countless ghostly souls instantly flew out of his body, roaring as they fell into the six celestial wheels.

Ning Qi's expression changed upon seeing this.

He had seen those ghosts more than once; they were the cultivators sacrificed by the Mountain Ancestor.

Even after they die, their souls remain detained by the Mountain Ancestor and can be used at will.

Although the Mountain Ancestor has become an immortal, how can he be called an immortal if he uses such methods?

Inside the Six Paths Immortal Wheel, countless ghostly souls faced the Mountain Ancestor and knelt in worship.

As they worshipped, their souls emitted wisps of Soul Power, which flowed into the Six Paths Immortal Wheel, making it even more powerful.

The mountain ancestor's imposing immortal body became somewhat hazy, which only accentuated his extraordinary and otherworldly appearance.

"Sink into the six realms of existence, Ning Qi!"

The Mountain Ancestor slowly pointed a finger at Ning Qi.

Using this move seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and a fine layer of sweat appeared on his face.

In an instant, the Six Paths Immortal Wheel detached from his immortal body, resembling six worlds linked together, or a wheel of wind and fire, crashing towards Ning Qi.

The farther it moves from the mountain ancestor, the faster it moves and the larger it becomes.

It swept across the turbulent waters of the Boundary Sea Boundary Sea, which instantly calmed down, becoming as still as a lake without a ripple in the breeze.

Ning Qi gazed at the Six Paths Immortal Wheel, knowing that this was probably the Mountain Ancestor's strongest Divine Ability.

The yin-yang symbol rotated on his body, and the turbulent vortex of the Boundary Sea behind him also squeezed out a large amount of the Boundary Sea energy, which was injected into the yin-yang diagram.

"Not enough!"

Ning Qi blinked, and in the next instant, his eyelids and pupils turned gold.

He retrieved the golden drop of water from the Enlightenment Tree in the True Martial Spirit World.

The water droplet was formed from the faith of all living beings and was extremely precious, but at this moment, Ning Qi did not hesitate to integrate it into his body.

Ahead, the Six Paths Immortal Wheel rolled in, releasing unparalleled pressure, enough to destroy the world and reshape the cycle of reincarnation.

However, Ning Qi stood suspended in the turbulent Boundary Sea, his Yin-Yang robes fluttering in the wind.

He held a spirit sword, which turned golden.

The next second, Ning Qi swung his sword and thrust it towards the Six Paths Immortal Wheel.

"Boundless Yin-Yang Sword!"

Suddenly, the Yin-Yang Dao diagram surrounding Ning Qi flew out with the Sword-Ray light and crashed into the Six Paths Immortal Wheel.

Yin and Yang swirled, and in the blink of an eye, it grew to the same size as the Six Paths Immortal Wheel.

The Six Paths Immortal Wheel resembles six enormous millstones, within which countless ghostly spirits utter mournful howls.

Within the Yin-Yang diagram, life and death flow, and it contains the faith power of all living beings. In addition to the two colors of Yin and Yang, the dividing line in the middle suddenly turned into pure gold.

The two collided, and the entire Boundary Sea seemed to fall silent.

The greatest sound is silent, the greatest form is formless.

All that could be seen was the pitch-black Boundary Sea, where day and night alternated in turn.

Both Ning Qi and Shan Zu exerted all their strength, pouring their power into their Divine Ability.

Gradually, the turbulent currents in the Boundary Sea around them were all calmed down. Even the turbulent currents in the Boundary Sea where Ning Qi had previously laid out array patterns were smoothed out, and the array patterns completely disappeared.

Whoosh!

A figure moved with lightning speed, tearing through the chaos of Yin and Yang, as if even time and space were slowed down by half a beat.

Ning Qi held his sword to the Mountain Ancestor's throat and said coldly, "You've lost!"

The Mountain Ancestor's eyes widened suddenly, as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing.

"No... How could this Immortal Venerable lose to you? My Six Paths Immortal Wheel... Ah!"

Before the Mountain Ancestor could finish speaking, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of seven-colored immortal blood, and immediately became extremely weak. His burly immortal body shrank considerably, like a deflated balloon.

"My Six Paths Immortal Wheel Divine Ability..."

The mountain ancestor trembled all over, pointing shakily at Ning Qi, still unwilling to believe that he would fail.

Ning Qi looked down at him and said:

"You shouldn't have done that, of all things, you shouldn't have used the souls of all living beings against me..."

"Why?" the mountain ancestor asked, bewildered.

"Because behind me are countless beings, whose pure faith is enough to purify those ghosts you command!"

The Mountain Ancestor's immortal eyes flickered, then seemed to dim considerably in an instant.

But the next second, a fierce glint flashed across his face.

"If anyone's going to die, it'll be you who dies first!"

Suddenly, the Mountain Ancestor opened his mouth wide, and a Black Shadow flew out of his mouth, crashing into Ning Qi in front of him.

Ning Qi's empty hand struck directly at the Black Shadow.

Boom!

After the loud bang, Ning Qi remained motionless.

The Black Shadow then slammed into Shan Zu in the opposite direction, sending him flying into the gradually recovering turbulent vortex.

The Black Shadow descended, its gray-black energy transforming into a small mountain that suppressed the Mountain Ancestor beneath it.

It turned out that the Black Shadow was the remnant of Mount Buzhou the Mountain Ancestor had swallowed. He spat it out again, intending to ambush Ning Qi, but to his surprise, Ning Qi seemed to be prepared.

The Mountain Ancestor's perfect immortal body suffered multiple fractures, and he no longer even had the power to recover.

He revealed half of his immortal body, staring blankly at Ning Qi in the distance.

Ning Qi strolled closer.

"Why would the remnants of Mount Buzhou betray me?" the Mountain Ancestor asked, puzzled.

Ning Qi said calmly:

"Do you still remember that Boundless Evil Qi that you cleaved apart with the Demon-Slaying Immortal Sword? I gave up suppressing it at the last moment, so it seemed to have disappeared, but it actually just hid away."

"And the remnant of Mount Buzhou within you finds it a good place to reside."

The Mountain Ancestor was silent for a moment, but then continued to ask, "Why can you still control it?"

Ning Qi raised his right hand and took a look.

"Ha, it's all thanks to you. If you hadn't forced me to merge with Boundless Evil Qi, how would I have discovered that I could control Boundless Evil Qi at will?"

Upon hearing this, the Mountain Ancestor was so enraged that he spat out another mouthful of blood and coughed incessantly.

"Cough cough..."

He felt his vision blur and his Immortal Power was rapidly draining away.

Having been severely injured by Ning Qi, lost the thousands of Divine Soul connected to him, and been forced to reveal the remnants of Mount Buzhou that had been bound to him with their lives, the Mountain Ancestor was weaker than ever before.

"I'm not reconciled to losing to a mere mortal like you..."

"If you're not happy about it, get up. I'll make you unhappy a few more times."

The Mountain Ancestor coughed up several mouthfuls of immortal blood again, looking up at Ning Qi nearby.

Ning Qi's robes were destroyed by the impact, revealing his half-naked upper body.

The Mountain Ancestor saw that on the left side of Ning Qi's upper body, there were black patterns, like rising flames, branded on his body.

On the upper right side, wisps of immortal cloud patterns clashed with the black flame patterns on the upper half of the body.

Suddenly, the mountain ancestor laughed, a strange smile spreading across his pale face.

Even if you defeat me, so what? You have severed your own path to immortality, and the immortal gates will never open for you.

Ning Qi looked down at the Dao Patterns that had spontaneously appeared on his upper body.

He took a deep breath to calm his internal energy.

In an instant, all those Dao Patterns vanished.

Ning Qi said dismissively, "Hmph, why should someone aspiring to become an immortal need someone else to open the gate for me? If I wish to become an immortal, no one can stop me!"

Shanzu couldn't help but shudder.

"You're utterly adorably naive! Since the establishment of the Immortal Realm, all those who aspire to become immortals must pass through the Immortal Gate, even those from my Mount Buzhou lineage!"

Ning Qi, too lazy to continue the conversation, asked, "Are you done?"

With a swift movement, the sword fell, and a head flew off.

"You'll regret this. Even if you kill me, they'll still come after you, hahaha..."
