Meeting

In the True Martial Spirit World, a divine voice resounded throughout the entire realm.

"The Holy Venerable has already ascended to immortality within this realm, becoming the first immortal in our True Martial Spirit World!"

The Dharma teachings resonated in everyone's minds, and instantly everyone knew them.

Everyone was shocked upon hearing this.

"What, the first immortal?"

"The Holy Venerable One ascended to immortality so quickly?"

Everyone looked toward the location of Wanzun Mountain in the center of the True Martial Spirit World, where three figures appeared in the sky above Wanzun Mountain: Ning Qi, Saint Venerable, and Sea Venerable.

People's attention was quickly drawn to the golden figure standing next to Ning Qi.

The other party was radiating Golden Immortal light, like a rising sun radiating countless rays of light, inexhaustible for eternity.

Although the True Martial Spirit World is vast, its immortal light can be seen everywhere.

The Holy Ancestor said softly to Ning Qi, "Isn't this a bit too high-profile?"

Ning Qi replied, "You've already become an immortal, and you'll have to tell them sooner or later anyway. Why not tell them sooner so everyone knows and it can inspire more people to aspire to become immortals."

"All right."

The Holy Venerable immediately proclaimed with his Immortal Power: "My ascension to immortality was achieved with the assistance of the Realm Venerable and the Sea Venerable. I believe that as long as everyone is wholeheartedly devoted to the Dao, even more immortals will emerge in the True Martial Spirit World in the future!"

His Immortal Power amplified his voice, allowing all beings within the True Martial Spirit World to hear it, but it still paled in comparison to Ning Qi's power as a realm lord.

Upon hearing this, the crowd immediately erupted in commotion.

After embarking on the path of cultivation, they heard countless legends of immortals, but never actually saw a real immortal in their entire lives.

During this time, they finally met a living immortal.

First, the Mountain Ancestor who threatened their survival had been killed by the Realm Lord; second, there was the Saint Venerable who had ascended to the Immortal realm before them.

For a moment, everyone felt a sense of longing, as if the True Martial Spirit World had reached an even higher level.

The native inhabitants of the True Martial Spirit World greatly admired this foreign saint, while the cultivators who migrated from the Vast Realm were even more excited.

Ning Qi said, "You should all focus on your cultivation. From now on, the True Martial Spirit World will enter the era of immortals. I will build the True Martial Spirit World into a paradise-like place."

Beside them, Hai Zu and Sheng Zu looked at Ning Qi, both of them startled by Ning Qi's casual remark.

Ning Qi had never said this before; at most, he had said that he was opening up a new path to immortality.

However, Ning Qi now wants to transform the entire True Martial Spirit World into a fairyland, which...

The two exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of belief in each other's surprised eyes.

They felt that transforming the True Martial Spirit World into a celestial realm was easier than creating a new path to immortality.

After all, Wanzun Mountain is located in the center of the True Martial Spirit World, where immortal herbs and trees grow, making it a small fairyland.

However, Ning Qi's ambitions made the two of them feel somewhat ashamed.

They had thought about becoming immortals themselves, and perhaps even going to a fairyland, but they never imagined transforming their original world into a fairyland and leading their followers to ascend together.

Ning Qi clearly had a different idea from them; Ning Qi not only kept talking about it, but he also kept doing it!

Next, Ning Qi had the Holy Ancestor hold a Dao Discussion Conference within the Ten Thousand Venerable Mountain, allowing all the promising cultivators from the True Martial Spirit World to attend.

Everyone benefited greatly.

On this day, Mount Wanzun suddenly emitted a beam of light that shot into the sky, attracting the attention of all living beings in the True Martial Spirit World.

They didn't find anything unusual; they simply assumed that the three realm lords inside were discussing cultivation again.

Ning Qi and the other two were still in the Enlightenment Plaza when they were suddenly jolted awake from their meditative state.

What happened?

The Holy Ancestor immediately stood up and looked towards the solitary peak in the center.

The commotion they felt was far greater than that felt by the beings outside Wanzun Mountain.

The Enlightenment Plaza is located on the central peak of Wanzun Mountain, which resembles a broken tower reaching to the heavens.

Ning Qi had always been curious about the function of this solitary peak within Mount Buzhou, but he had never been able to find the answer.

However, overall, the remnant of Mount Buzhou that he obtained seems to be more like the original, complete area of Mount Buzhou where immortal herbs and trees were planted.

At this moment, the solitary peak trembled, and the Immortal Power within it seeped outwards.

Immortal Power, like mist, lingers around the solitary peak.

Ning Qi and his companions flew far away and observed the solitary peak, discovering that the Immortal Power emanating from it seemed to be guiding something.

The Holy Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor were puzzled and both looked at Ning Qi, who had completely taken control of Ten Thousand Venerable Mountain.

Ning Qi narrowed his eyes slightly, releasing his boundary power to sense the state of the entire Ten Thousand Venerable Mountain from the inside out and from the outside in.

A thought suddenly struck him, and he said to the two of them:

"What's been waiting for has finally arrived."

The two still didn't understand.

Ning Qi laughed and said, "As I said before, Wanzun Mountain is not complete; it is a fragment of Mount Buzhou after its collapse. Now, it senses the location of another fragment, which is why it is shaking so much."

"You mean..." The two patriarchs instantly realized, "The one who possesses the remaining fragments of Mount Buzhou has arrived?"

Ning Qi nodded slightly.

"That's right."

He suddenly flew close to the solitary peak again, touched it with his hand, and his spiritual consciousness merged with it.

In an instant, Ning Qi's spiritual sense extended out through the peak.

Ning Qi's spiritual sense spread out, flying out of Wanzun Mountain, exploring the True Martial Spirit World, and entering the boundless Boundary Sea.

As a realm lord, with the dual blessing, he could perceive even more distant places in the Boundary Sea.

In an instant, Ning Qi sensed a power very similar to that of Wanzun Mountain, which was approaching the location of the True Martial Spirit World from a certain direction.

Judging from the distance and their speed of advance, it will probably take them another half a day to reach us.

Ning Qi addressed the two of them.

The Holy Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor immediately went on high alert, realizing that danger was imminent.

Ning Qi had already informed the two of the necessary matters, and their arduous training during this period was also in preparation for the approaching enemy.

"Do you know their strength or how many people they have?"

Ning Qi shook his head.

"The various fragments of Mount Buzhou resonated with each other, and it was through this resonant force that I sensed their presence."

"Therefore, we cannot know the opponent's strength for the time being, but since they were able to cross the Boundary Sea, they are by no means weaker than the Mountain Ancestor back then."

The two men looked solemn.

"Fortunately, we have all improved during this time, and the Holy Venerable has also become an immortal. Even if the opponent is also an immortal, we still have the strength to fight." Hai Zu's icy eyes flashed.

Ning Qi continued, "The enemy doesn't know our strength either, so we have half a day to make more preparations for our battle."

Ning Qi directly used his spatial teleportation Divine Ability to bring the two of them to the outside of the Boundary Sea.

He pointed west and said, "The enemy will come from the west."

What Ning Qi didn't say was that after learning about the situation from the Mountain Ancestor, he released the barrier that the Boundary Tree used to shield the True Martial Spirit World, allowing the other party to sense the aura of the remnant of Mount Buzhou.

Since Ning Qi restored Wanzun Mountain to its former glory, it has become a suitable place for immortals to reside in the True Martial Spirit World. He now intends to gather the remaining parts of Mount Buzhou.

Next, Ning Qi and the Holy Ancestor Hai Zu went into hiding in the Boundary Sea near the True Martial Spirit World, waiting for the enemy to arrive.

Of course, Ning Qi also notified the Sword Ancestor and others in the True Martial Spirit World.

If the enemy forces are numerous, Sword Ancestor and his companions will also have a chance to step in and slay the attackers.

About two hours later.

Deep within the Boundary Sea, a five-colored treasure ship swept past Boundary Sea turbulent whirlpools, getting much closer to Ning Qi's location.

On the treasure ship, Wei Xian and Lin Chen still sat at the bow and stern respectively.

The Boundary Sea is teeming with monsters, and this method they employ is an effective defense against their attacks.

Wei Xian suddenly said, "Brother Lin, I can clearly sense the existence of the remnants of Mount Buzhou. I think we'll be there soon."

Lin Chen's eyes held both anticipation and an indescribable expression.

"Brother Wei, I wonder if the other side has sensed us?"

Wei Xian, "The other side has only just obtained the remnant of Mount Buzhou, so they shouldn't be able to master it so quickly. We, on the other hand, have possessed it for a thousand years. I'm afraid they won't even realize it until we're completely close."

He wasn't arrogant; he was simply judging things by common sense.

Lin Chen nodded.

Hopefully, the other party will be more sensible.

The two of them pushed the five-colored treasure boat with all their might, and the five-colored treasure boat flew through the Boundary Sea like a flying sword, sailing even faster into the distance.

Time flew by as they felt a mixture of impatience and anticipation. Finally, the two arrived at the Boundary Sea, which was outside the True Martial Spirit World.

The two men escaped the turbulent waters of the Boundary Sea by boat and settled in the Blackwater area.

They stood at the bow of the ship, their celestial eyes gazing at the vast spirit realm in the distant gray mist.

The energy of the spirit realm, stretching out from the Boundary Sea, was three times the size of a typical spirit realm, which startled him.

"Such a powerful spirit realm exists here?" Lin Chen exclaimed in surprise.

"It seems we came to the right place," Wei Xian. "The more powerful the spirit realm, the more living beings it can nurture, and its resources are incredibly abundant. Even you and I have needs within it."

"Is that guy inside this spirit realm?" Lin Chen asked.

Wei Xian laughed and said, "If he hasn't left the Spirit Realm yet, then it will be much easier for us to take down the remnants of Mount Buzhou!"

Lin Chen carefully observed his surroundings; all was silent.

Only occasionally would the energy waves of the Boundary Sea surge and crash towards the five-colored treasure boat beneath their feet.

The treasure ship automatically emitted light, blocking and dissolving the disturbance, and everything returned to calm.

Neither of them had any idea that someone was already waiting for them.

Within the Blackwater Zone of the Boundary Sea where the two were located, Ning Qi and his two companions lay in ambush in three different locations.

They waited for a long time, and finally the person arrived.

While the other party was observing the True Martial Spirit World, Ning Qi and his companions were also subtly observing them.

Looking at the two figures on the five-colored treasure boat, Ning Qi and the other two were also slightly surprised.

They expected a large army to arrive, but they only saw two people.

Even though the two possessed extremely strong auras, they weren't enough to frighten them.

"Boy, should we launch a sneak attack?" the Holy Ancestor whispered.

Ning Qi replied, "Let's wait and see what they do next."

And so, the three of them fell silent again for the time being.

The two people on the five-colored treasure boat, the leader of them, suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a gray shadow.

The gray shadow spun around in front of him, then gradually came to a stop; it was the shadow of a small mountain.

Ning Qi and the other two immediately realized that what the other party had spat out was the remains of Mount Buzhou.

Back then, the Mountain Ancestor also took in the remains of Mount Buzhou in the same way.

However, the remnant of Mount Buzhou was not completely black; it was only light gray.

Clearly, the other party was also removing the Boundary Sea energy from the remnants of Mount Buzhou, but not as thoroughly as Ning Qi.

The man Wei Xian formed hand seals and cast spells at the mountain shadow floating in front of him.

"Unresonant resonance!"

He let out a low shout, and the mountain shadow instantly doubled in size, emitting a beam of azure light that pointed towards the distant True Martial Spirit World.

"The remains are indeed within this spirit realm," Wei Xian. "But is the other party so oblivious that they haven't sensed us yet?"

Lin Chen then asked, "If they won't come out, then we'll enter the Spirit Realm."

Wei Xian shook his head.

"Forget it, with our combined strength, if we were to fight within the Spirit Realm, we'd only cause countless bloodshed. Let's lure them out instead."

Their conversation reached the ears of Ning Qi and the other two, which slightly changed their opinion of the two.

At least these two don't seem to be indiscriminately killing innocent people; as strong individuals, they still possess compassion for the weak.

The next second, Wei Xian continued to activate the remnant of Mount Buzhou, and streams of great power spread out, seemingly calling out to something.

In the distant True Martial Spirit World, a burst of azure light also erupted.

Ning Qi watched all of this quietly, witnessing how the other party had tracked down their location.

Now that we've seen it all, let's move the True Martial Spirit World away. Otherwise, even if the Battlefield isn't within the True Martial Spirit World, it might still cause damage if it's nearby.

Destruction may be repaired, but if it harms the beings within, then it is not good.

The ability to teleport the entire True Martial Spirit World is one that Ning Qi has recently learned.

With the support of Immortal Power and Boundless Evil Qi, and a physical body baptized by Golden Immortal light, plus the fact that the Boundary Sea did not reject him at all, Ning Qi directly used his spatial teleportation Divine Ability to move the True Martial Spirit World to a more distant place and activated the Boundary Tree's ability to shield him from external perception.

Thus, the True Martial Spirit World, which had just been emitting a blue light, vanished into the Boundary Sea in an instant.

"Um?"

Wei Xian and Lin Chen watched in disbelief as the True Martial Spirit World Realm vanished before their eyes.

"What happened? How could such a vast spirit realm just disappear like that?"

To Wei Xian's even greater surprise, the aura of the remnant of Mount Buzhou that he had just sensed also vanished.

This change left the two completely bewildered; they had never seen anything so bizarre before.

Could it be that someone is using the remains of Mount Buzhou as bait to lure them here?

The two stood on the five-colored treasure boat, at the bow and stern respectively, looking around with extreme vigilance.

"Where is this fellow Daoist nearby? Why don't you show yourself?"

Ning Qi and his two companions did not choose to launch a sneak attack, but instead appeared directly in front of them.

Looking at the three people who suddenly surrounded the five-colored treasure boat, Wei Xian and Lin Chen quickly scanned the three people, silently sensing their strength.

Finally, their gaze settled on the Holy Ancestor, who was radiating Golden Immortal light.

Wei Xian asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

To their surprise, the Holy Ancestor, despite appearing to be the strongest, did not seem to be the leader.

The leader was actually the youngest of the three.

Ning Qi said, "Aren't you looking for the remains of Mount Buzhou? Why are you asking us who we are? Shouldn't we be the ones asking you?"

Wei Xian and Lin Chen were secretly exchanging messages.

"Brother Wei, shall we make a move? Their strength doesn't seem very high; one has just achieved True Immortal, and two are close to Immortal."

Wei Xian gave Ning Qi a deep look, recalling the vast spirit realm that had suddenly disappeared earlier.

Such a vast spirit realm, even for True Immortal like him, destruction might be easy, but he couldn't make it disappear silently, or even sense its presence.

These three guys in front of me are definitely not as simple as they seem!

"Don't fight yet, try communicating first. If communication fails, then you can resort to violence."
