Seeing Ning Qi Was Like Seeing the Great Dao

Lin Chen unleashed his most proficient assassination technique, the Immortal Slaying Technique!

He was willing to be a bad guy in order to reclaim the remains of Mount Buzhou and regain their hope and freedom.

Ning Qi and Wei Xian made a vow to uphold the Dao, and Wei Xian has already admitted defeat.

But Lin Chen was not convinced.

He did not make a vow to become an immortal, so even if Wei Xian had to admit defeat, he still had a chance to change everything.

Lin Chen's body completely dissipated, and he could no longer be found in the Boundary Sea.

A powerful divine sense condensed into a blade capable of slaying immortals, instantly aimed at Ning Qi and his companions who were currently distracted by the remains of Mount Buzhou.

The so-called "divine consciousness" is the consciousness that arises from the Divine Soul of a cultivator after they become an immortal.

Cultivators below the level of immortals possess spiritual consciousness, while immortals possess immortal consciousness.

After a cultivator becomes an immortal, not only does their physical body transform into an immortal body, but their Divine Soul also undergoes a complete transformation, becoming immortal consciousness.

A faint trace flashed across the Boundary Sea.

The powerful killing intent was concealed, but the target of the attack was not Boundary Sea, but Ning Qi and his two companions in front of him.

"Don't want!"

Lin Chenning heard Wei Xian's shout of dissuasion coming from behind her.

But he has already made his move; how could he possibly return empty-handed?

If you're going to take action, then go all the way—that's what he learned from the evil spirits who killed his entire family!

The remains of Mount Buzhou were still floating in the air toward Ning Qi, but the blade of killing intent formed from immortal consciousness was even faster, striking Ning Qi, who was at the forefront, like lightning.

Ning Qi felt as if he were bound by a dark cloud, but these constraints only restricted his physical body; the real killing move had already appeared in his Divine Soul.

Ning Qi kept his eyes tightly closed.

Behind him, the Holy Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor reacted instantly and were about to attack Wei Xian.

Wei Xian, on the other side, did not make any move, but instead waved his hand apologetically and said:

"I have surrendered and will never strike again. You can arrest me if you want, but..."

He looked at Ning Qi, a pleading expression on his slightly haggard face.

"Ning Qi, if you can still hear me, I hope you won't kill him. He's my last brother in this world."

Ning Qi closed his eyes, his temples throbbing, revealing the turmoil in his mind.

Within this boundless Sea of Consciousness, Lin Chen had already broken in.

His divine sense was so refined that it resembled a divine blade. As soon as it appeared in Ning Qi's consciousness, it slashed horizontally towards the very core.

If he could destroy Ning Qi's consciousness, he would have turned everything around.

To Lin Chen's surprise, as soon as he entered Ning Qi's consciousness, he discovered something terrifying.

Because Ning Qi's consciousness was not divine consciousness, but spiritual consciousness!

Lin Chen could naturally distinguish between divine consciousness and spiritual consciousness; the difference between the two was enormous.

Immortal consciousness possesses boundless divine might, transcending the world, and is awe-inspiringly unassailable.

Spiritual awareness is far inferior in quality, like pig iron compared to black iron.

This discovery made Lin Chen suddenly realize a problem: Ning Qi did not seem to have become an immortal.

But isn't this just too unbelievable?

If Ning Qi didn't become an immortal, where did his Immortal Power come from?

That Golden Immortal light and the golden body were clearly signs of the baptism that occurred after the opening of the immortal gate.

Lin Chen was somewhat bewildered, and he didn't have time to think about anything else.

It's better that Ning Qi didn't become an immortal. Immortal consciousness versus spiritual consciousness is like a dimensional reduction attack from the evolution of life, so he would definitely win!

Lin Chen swiftly swept through Ning Qi's sea of consciousness, heading towards the very core.

"Hmph, I've been intruding into his Sea of Consciousness of consciousness for at least ten instants, and he still hasn't returned?"

Lin Chen thought dismissively.

He charged forward recklessly, expecting to have a great battle with Ning Qi in his Sea of Consciousness, but to his surprise, Ning Qi did not appear at all after so long.

Let alone cultivators, even ordinary people, if they sense something unusual in their minds, will be alert and want to find its source.

The mortal realm is full of alluring beauties, some of whom, with weak Law Power, practice Evil Dao, cultivating by devouring vital essence.

The methods they employ also involve this path, intruding into the sea of mortal consciousness.

They either use beauty to bewitch people or conjure up terror to make them lose their composure, all to make mortals lose their vigilance so that they can easily take action.

Just as a seductive enchantress deals with mortals in this way, a cultivator using spiritual power also deals with others in the same way.

They usually encounter the other side returning to defend, but at this moment, Lin Chen had been running for a long time and still hadn't seen Ning Qi return to defend, which made him feel slightly uneasy.

Fortunately, he seemed to have finally reached the core of Ning Qi's Sea of Consciousness, where a dark dot could be vaguely seen ahead.

Lin Chen quickened his pace, his divine sense moving like the wind and lightning, instantly slashing towards it.

As the black dot grew larger, Lin Chen had to slow down and finally stopped in front of it.

He stared blankly ahead. This wasn't a black dot, nor was it the core of his Sea of Consciousness; it was clearly a cage.

Inside the cage was a celestial soul.

The immortal soul stared at him expectantly and whispered, "Save me!"

"Who are you?"

Lin Chen's divine consciousness reconstituted his physical form. Upon discovering such a cage deep within Ning Qi Sea of Consciousness, Lin Chen naturally became extremely wary.

This immortal soul was none other than the Mountain Ancestor, whom Ning Qi had imprisoned in the Great Dao Cage. He hadn't expected anyone to intrude into Ning Qi's Sea of Consciousness. Did this mean he had a chance to escape?

His immortal body is still intact; as long as his immortal soul escapes, he can be resurrected.

"Help me!"

Lin Chen took a step back, carefully examining the other person and paying attention to their cage.

Two completely different powers emanated from the cage, making him feel a little fearful.

However, if he were to exert his full strength, he should be able to break through the cage and release the creature inside.

But on what grounds?

Lin Chen had not forgotten his purpose in coming here; he only wanted to kill Ning Qi's consciousness Divine Soul, but he still could not find the core.

"Where is his spiritual core? Tell me, and I will kill it, and you will be able to break free."

Lin Chen did not agree to the Mountain Ancestor's request, but instead chose to interrogate Ning Qi about his spiritual core.

The mountain ancestor dared not answer, but instead pointed to the sky.

He was terrified by Ning Qi's great cage, and before he could break free, he decided not to make any obvious moves to resist.

Of course, if he gets out of trouble, he can run as far as he wants.

Ning Qi is an incredibly wicked guy; he doesn't want to provoke him again. Being alive is a blessing.

Lin Chen followed the gesture of the Mountain Ancestor and looked up at the sky.

Suddenly, a magnificent face appeared in the previously empty sky; it was Ning Qi, who was indifferently looking down at the two of them.

"Ning Qi, you've finally shown up! Watch me sever your Divine Soul!"

Lin Chen's divine sense transformed into a divine blade, which he drew and thrust forward.

From afar, he resembled a crescent moon, slicing straight into the sky.

Whoosh!

However, before Lin Chen could strike, Ning Qi extended a giant palm and pressed down on the immortal blade that Lin Chen had transformed into.

"You're really brave, daring to intrude into my Sea of Consciousness..."

Ning Qi chuckled.

The immortal blade that Lin Chen had transformed into collided with the giant palm.

The immortal blade and severed palm that Lin Chen had imagined did not appear. It was as if he was using the sharpest knife in the world to cut through flowing water and soft cotton.

You can't cut water with a knife; no matter how sharp the knife is, it can't truly sever flowing water.

In an instant, Ning Qi's giant hand completely grasped the immortal blade, and a gentle force enveloped it, using softness to overcome hardness.

No matter how sharp the Immortal Blade became in his hand, it couldn't cause him any harm.

Next, the giant hand transformed into a Yin-Yang diagram, suppressing Lin Chen within it.

Lin Chen felt his divine consciousness instantly revert to its original form!

In order to achieve victory in one fell swoop, he used all his strength, and his entire Divine Soul rushed into Ning Qi's Sea of Consciousness.

Thus, he had no way out; the divine consciousness was him.

Lin Chen was trapped inside the Yin-Yang Dao Diagram, yet he remained unwilling to accept his fate.

He didn't understand why he had lost, and he still wanted to break through the suppression of the Yin-Yang Dao Diagram.

Lin Chen's talent is also extremely amazing, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to cultivate to such a level.

He carefully sensed his own state and felt as if he were enveloped by two great Daos.

Hardness and softness, speed and slowness, offense and defense, pain and pleasure, life and death, yin and yang...

Although they are two different paths, they seem to encompass all the paths in the world, and all of them have been bestowed upon him.

Lin Chen felt that this was the cruelest punishment in the world.

Even when killing someone, the head doesn't fall to the ground; even when beheading, the scar is only the size of a bowl.

However, he was trapped between two great paths. One moment he felt as if he were ascending to the immortal Immortal Realm, so exhilarated that his pores were spewing out immortal light. The next moment he was dragged down to the underworld to suffer torture, which tormented him endlessly.

Lin Chen was so tormented that he lost all his temper.

He was even horrified to discover that he seemed to see the very method he was practicing in this Yin-Yang diagram.

Lin Chen felt incredibly insignificant at this moment, like an ant before a giant elephant, like a mortal observing the universe, seeing Ning Qi as if seeing the Great Dao!

"So this is that guy's true strength... He possesses more than one Dao!"

"If he continues to cultivate in this way, who knows how many Dao Fruit he could accumulate?"

Lin Chen completely lost consciousness.

Ning Qi opened his eyes again.

It was so brief, as if he had just closed his eyes one second and opened them the next.

He suddenly shook his head, and his body shuddered.

A figure suddenly appeared in Ning Qi's hand, and Ning Qi held Lin Chen as if he were a chicken.

Upon seeing this, the Mountain Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor were naturally startled once again.

Good heavens, Lin Chen was defeated so quickly?

They had barely confronted Wei Xian when Lin Chen was captured; they didn't even know if he was dead or alive.

Across from him, Wei Xian stared at Ning Qi, and then at Lin Chen in Ning Qi's hand.

He could sense that Lin Chen was still breathing.

"Thank you so much!" Wei Xian said with deepest gratitude.

He understood that Ning Qi had heard his request and had not killed Lin Chen.

Ning Qi casually tossed it towards Wei Xian.

He truly had no intention of killing Lin Chen, even though Lin Chen harbored ill intentions and launched a sneak attack on him.

Firstly, Ning Qi had observed the two for so long, and had even searched Lin Chen's spiritual sense, knowing that these two were not vicious or evil people.

Lin Chen only attacked him because he valued the remnants of Mount Buzhou too much and his own goal too much.

Of course, Ning Qi could only forgive Lin Chen if he ambushed him.

If Lin Chen were to bully the weak and attempt to ambush Ning Qi's important people, strike at Ning Qi's weak points, or threaten Ning Qi's vulnerabilities, such as Master Daoist Longshan, Sword Ancestor, Senior Sister Ye Qinghe, etc., then Ning Qi would never let him go.

Secondly, Ning Qi intended to recruit the two to further strengthen the True Martial Spirit World.

One is True Immortal of the Third Rank, another is True Immortal of the Second Rank, and there are two True Immortal in total—how could Ning Qi let them go?

The two had previously stated that they had not joined the Immortal Realm, but were instead wandering cultivators from the Boundary Sea.

Wei Xian caught Lin Chen with both hands and immediately used his own Immortal Power to stimulate him, trying to awaken Lin Chen.

After a long while, Lin Chen's eyelids twitched, and he opened them wearily.

"Brother Wei?"

"Aren't you going to get up and thank them for sparing your life?" Wei Xian said sternly.

Lin Chen stood up unsteadily, finally regaining his senses.

He stared at Ning Qi, his eyes unconsciously glancing down, as if he dared not look him in the eye again.

Seeing Ning Qi is like seeing the Great Dao!

Lin Chen had previously acted as if he didn't care about anyone except Wei Xian.

But after being imprisoned by Ning Qi with the Great Dao, and especially after realizing how terrifying Ning Qi's Great Dao was, he shrank back like a partridge.

His actions are not difficult to understand.

Cultivators aim to become immortals, and after becoming immortals, they aim to attain the Dao.

Every immortal faces the difficulty of condensing the fruit of the Great Dao; without condensing the Dao Fruit the Great Dao, one cannot be called an immortal.

They all longed to witness the Great Way.

It is said that when the Immortal Realm still existed, there was a Sea of Dao. Any immortal who had made merit could visit the Sea of Dao and observe all the Daos, thus making it extremely easy to condense the fruit of the Great Dao.

However, after the Immortal Realm collapsed, the Dao Sea was no longer there, and all those who became immortals could only ponder the Great Dao on their own.

Lin Chen was clearly making unremitting efforts for this. He was skilled in assassination and had always wanted to condense a Dao Fruit of assassination, but he had never had the fortuitous opportunity.

Although Lin Chen was tortured half to death while trapped inside Ning Qi's Yin-Yang Dao Diagram, he seemed to have gained some insights.

That's why he reacted this way when he saw Ning Qi again.

A cultivator sees the Great Dao as if he has met a great teacher; he sees Ning Qi as if he has seen the Great Dao itself!

"Thank you for sparing my life!"

Lin Chen said weakly.

Both of them have completely admitted defeat.

Ning Qi reached out in the void, and the light gray remains of Mount Buzhou fell back into his hand.

Wei Xian didn't retrieve the object he had just thrown out. Even when Lin Chen launched his assassination attempt on Ning Qi, he simply placed it in front of Ning Qi.

Wei Xian and Lin Chen looked at the exquisite mountain that had fallen into Ning Qi's hands, and both of them showed expressions of great reluctance.

Linglong Mountain may have to be renamed!

They have sacrificed so much and given so much along the way.

Obtaining the remnant of Mount Buzhou allowed the two to become immortals and cultivate to this level.

The two wanted to obtain other fragments of Mount Buzhou to become stronger and resurrect their deceased loved ones.

But now that the mountain is gone, they have to Ning Qi Qi's camp.

Seeing their expressions, Ning Qi smiled faintly:

"Why do you have to do this? This mountain is in my hands, and I will not take it for myself. You can still benefit from it."

"Huh?" The two looked up at Ning Qi, their expressions quite surprised.

For a long time, everyone they encountered wanted to take advantage of them, kill them, steal their treasures, and enjoy everything for themselves.

Ning Qi actually said he wanted to share the remains of Mount Buzhou, is that true?

Behind Ning Qi, the Holy Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor exchanged a glance.

The Holy Ancestor coughed.

"You can rest assured, this kid is known for his generosity. We were still a long way from becoming immortals, but thanks to him sharing everything with us, we were able to advance so quickly."

Upon hearing this, Wei Xian Chen still harbored some doubts, but his expression softened considerably.

Wei Xian suddenly said, "A bet is a bet, and we will keep our promise, but there's something I need to clarify."

"What's up?"

"Your body contains Boundless Evil Qi that even immortals abhor; are you a human-demon?"
