Two Mountains Merge

"A demon?"

When the topic of the human demon was mentioned, Wei Xian's expression became noticeably unnatural.

"What would you do if I said yes?" Ning Qi asked playfully.

Wei Xian and Lin Chen exchanged a glance, and Wei Xian:

"If you are truly a demon, this pool is far too deep for us to join."

Although the two have cultivated to their current level and have never seen a human demon, they have heard of the name of the human demon very well.

The Human Demon is a celestial being transformed into a demon; those in the celestial realm who encounter it will surely kill it.

The reason is simple: it seems that the demons once caused the collapse of the Immortal Realm, and now they also threaten the existence of the immortal realm.

Ning Qi said:

"Since you are all demons, why don't you all attack me together?"

Wei Xian gazed at him and replied:

"You jest, sir. Although I observe Boundless Evil Qi within you, your actions do not resemble those of a demon."

Of course, they had just fought Ning Qi and both were defeated. Could they possibly turn the tide and win again?

"Besides, we two have seen too much evil in the world. Evil Qi is merely a tool, like a sword. In the hands of a good person, it is advantageous to that person."

Wei Xian's statement was not an attempt to curry favor with Ning Qi.

He was doing the same thing; he had previously manipulated the energy of the Boundary Sea to deal with Ning Qi.

Both the energy of the Boundary Sea and the Evil Qi are abhorred by immortals; the difference between the two is not significant.

Ning Qi stopped probing the two and nodded, saying:

"I completely agree with what you say. I am not a demon, but the master of the True Martial Spirit World. As for this Evil Qi, it is a product of a forced fusion during my last battle with an immortal who wanted to sacrifice all living beings."

"True Martial Spirit World Realm Lord, sacrifice all living beings, merge with Evil Qi?"

Upon hearing this, the two were stunned.

Regardless, the things about this guy in front of them made the two of them extremely eager to explore.

The two men's expressions relaxed.

"In that case, we will keep our promise and join you."

"You won't regret it," the Holy Ancestor comforted him.

Ning Qi held the light gray remains of Mount Buzhou in his hands.

"Come with me. Since you two are willing to join, come and take a look at our world."

After saying that, Ning Qi used his spatial teleportation technique to move everyone into the True Martial Spirit World.

The world changed, and the world before everyone's eyes alternated between darkness and light in the blink of an eye.

Within the True Martial Spirit World.

Originally, Ning Qi uprooted Wanzun Mountain to make way for the previous bet, causing the central continent of the True Martial Spirit World Realm to become empty.

The beings within the realm were naturally astonished by this.

Only the Sword Ancestor and others had an understanding.

Ning Qi had previously informed some of them that enemies would be coming to the Boundary Sea, and that they should prepare for battle.

Sword Ancestor and the others sharpened their swords, and the disappearance of Ten Thousand Venerable Mountain meant that an enemy had appeared. They silently awaited Ning Qi's summons.

They waited and waited, but Ning Qi did not summon them. Fortunately, they trusted Ning Qi, otherwise they probably wouldn't have been able to sit down in peace.

At that very moment, the Wanzun Mountain, which had just disappeared, returned to the center of the True Martial Spirit World, as if it had never vanished.

Sword Ancestor and the others immediately took to the air and looked toward the center.

Ning Qi had returned, and to their surprise, two more figures appeared beside Ning Qi.

"Have they captured them? Those two... could they also be immortals...?"

Filled with doubt, the group flew rapidly toward Ning Qi and his companions.

Ning Qi and four others were suspended high in the air.

Wei Xian and Lin Chen said nothing, but instead looked down at the True Martial Spirit World.

The two men's eyes were suddenly struck by the sight of the ninety-nine vast mountain and water dragon veins that stretched across the entire continent.

This world is extraordinary; they have never seen such a perfect world before!

The rest of the world is a creation of nature, a landscape of natural beauty.

However, the existence of various powerful beings, including cultivators, will cause many problems for the world.

For example, some places are suitable for living, while others are riddled with holes...

Some blessed lands are occupied by the strong, and the weak cannot approach them; in other places, there are desolate areas where many people are unable to escape and struggle to survive.

The world doesn't automatically fix everything, but Wei Xian and his companion have now witnessed a perfectly formed world, suitable for everyone to live in.

This is terrifying!

To achieve this, it would at least mean that Ning Qi possesses the ability to create worlds, something even immortals cannot do.

After all, creation is one thing, destruction is another.

Immortals may be able to destroy the world, but they cannot create it.

The two were deeply shaken as they examined the entire structure and then observed the other features within the boundary.

They were not yet able to walk freely, but their appearance left traces, from which many things could be deduced.

No matter how well Ning Qi and the other two spoke before, they still had to see for themselves how the creatures in the spirit world were living.

Because the living conditions of the weak completely expose the flaws in Ning Qi's flowery words.

Even if the world is perfect, if the people under Ning Qi's command live in misery, then Ning Qi is definitely not telling the truth and is not someone to be followed.

If someone is this cruel to their own people, then no matter how well they disguise themselves, you still have to be wary of them.

Wei Xian Chen had been venturing into the Boundary Sea for a long time and had witnessed countless injustices. He found that bad people who were good at disguising themselves were more disgusting than those who were purely evil.

Before Ning Qi could speak, the Holy Ancestor introduced the two of them:

"The True Martial Spirit World was originally a small world beneath the Spirit Realm. The reason it appears so large now is because it has merged with two other Spirit Realms."

"It has merged with two other spirit realms?" Wei Xian immediately became interested.

This means that there are currently Three Realms of beings within the True Martial Spirit World.

The Three Realms represent three major powers, making them prone to conflict and friction.

If there is constant friction among the beings of the Three Realms, and Ning Qi's excessive favoritism towards the natives reveals how Ning Qi treats outsiders.

Although Wei Xian and Chen were determined to Ning Qi Qi's camp, they still wanted to understand what kind of person Ning Qi was and whether he was worth following.

The Sea Ancestor, who had remained silent until now, parted her lips slightly and said, "One is the Vast Realm led by the Holy Venerable, and the other is the Mountain and Sea Realm where I reside."

The two nodded slightly upon hearing this.

When did you two join the True Martial Spirit World?

Wei Xian inquired.

Seeing the three of them so close, he and Lin Chen had always assumed they were friends of many years.

Hai Zu smiled and said, "It will probably take a little over a month. After all, our war between the two realms took a lot of time. If it weren't for Ning Qi, both realms would have been destroyed."

Her icy eyes, which held a hint of coldness, looked at Ning Qi with a touch of warmth.

He is the hero who saved both worlds!

Wei Xian and Chen were even more curious.

If what the two people said is true, that the great war had just occurred and the Three Realms had just merged, then that would be even better, as the state of the beings within would be absolutely realistic.

Just then, Sword Ancestor and many other people Ning Qi knew flew to this place.

They were already within the True Martial.

Since Ning Qi placed Wanzun Mountain on the True Martial Spirit World Continent, Wanzun Mountain has become the center of the True Martial Spirit World Continent.

Ning Qi then dispersed the True Martial, which was originally suspended high in the sky, around Mount Wanzun to show respect for the Holy Ancestor Haizu who resided within Mount Wanzun.

From then on, the True Martial was no longer the center of the True Martial Spirit World; Ten Thousand Venerable Mountain was.

Sword Ancestor and the others turned their gazes, all staring at Wei Xian and Lin Chen, but remained silent.

Seeing this, Ning Qi explained:

"You need not worry. From now on, the True Martial Spirit World will welcome two more True Immortal."

Upon hearing this, Sword Ancestor and the others were all shaken.

Everyone concealed their surprise, even though their hearts were filled with turmoil.

"Two more True Immortal? Is the Realm Lord a succubus? That's incredible. He went out for a short while and they joined us?"

They naturally knew that things would not be so simple, and that another great battle between immortal cultivators would surely follow.

Ning Qi introduced the two of them, saying:

"This one is True Immortal Wei Xian, and the other is True Immortal Lin Chen."

"Greetings, two True Immortal!" the crowd greeted, bowing respectfully.

Wei Xian returned the greeting with a cupped-hand salute, showing no airs whatsoever.

This scene naturally put everyone at ease and made them feel much better.

Of course, Wei Xian Xianlin was also observing everyone.

Seeing Ning Qi treat everyone so kindly, they felt no fear of him, their emotions were natural, and they increasingly believed what Ning Qi said.

Ning Qi said, "Since you're here, you may come along."

Everyone nodded quickly.

Ning Qi continued, "We'll go into Wanzun Mountain now and fuse the two fragments together."

A layer of radiant light emanated from him, enveloping everyone present, who then vanished into thin air.

Inside Wanzun Mountain.

Flowers and trees are planted in rows, and paths crisscross the fields.

Patches of celestial herbs and flowers were adorned with dew formed from celestial energy, and the ancient trees were lush and verdant, creating a scene of abundance.

Sword Ancestor and the others wore expressions of enjoyment.

Life is revived within Wanzun Mountain, and immortal energy is circulating. These cultivators from the realm of immortals seem to feel every cell in their body rejoice with every breath they take.

It's like a starving person suddenly presented with a table full of delicacies; the feeling of satisfaction is indescribable.

Wei Xian and Lin Chen were deeply moved as they gazed at the vibrant scene within Wanzun Mountain.

"Isn't this place absolutely heavenly?"

Look at them, then look at themselves.

Both of them possessed fragments of Mount Buzhou. Ning Qi had only recently obtained them, while Wei Xian and the other had possessed Mount Buzhou for over a thousand years.

For thousands of years, Wei Xian had never been able to develop the world within Mount Buzhou into such a magnificent sight, nor had he been able to completely dispel the energy of the Boundary Sea within it.

Wei Xian felt quite ashamed about this, as if the remains of Mount Buzhou in his hands were nothing more than a precious sword in the hands of a mediocre person, suffering injustice.

Ning Qi, holding the light gray remains of Mount Buzhou that Wei Xian had lost to him, said to Wei Xian with a meaningful expression:

"Afterwards, you will be able to stay and cultivate within it, just like the Holy Venerable and the Sea Venerable. Before merging with the mountain, I would like to ask if there are any of your belongings left in the mountain world?"

Wei Xian and the other person exchanged a glance and both shook their heads.

"Don't worry, I've already removed the important parts."

He understood what Ning Qi was trying to say: he renamed the remains of Mount Buzhou to Linglong Mountain because he placed the remains of his beloved there.

In their previous battle, Wei Xian used the power of the Seven Dao Fruit to make Ning Qi experience a Wei Xian illusion, which made him realize that Linglong was his beloved, so he deliberately asked her about it.

Seeing this, Ning Qi nodded slightly.

Two forces emanated from his palm, forming a small Yin-Yang diagram.

Instantly, the light gray remnant of Mount Buzhou began to spin rapidly in his palm.

The powerful Immortal Power and centrifugal force permeated the remains of Mount Buzhou, and all the remaining energy of the Boundary Sea within it was absorbed into the Yin-Yang Dao Diagram.

Finally, the light gray remains of Mount Buzhou were restored to their original state, showing no signs of decay.

Ning Qi flicked his wrist and tossed the remains away; in an instant, the mangled pieces flew out, growing larger and larger in front of everyone.

It emitted a bluish light, flashing intermittently, seemingly echoing and responding to Wanzun Mountain.

The entire Wanzun Mountain also erupted with boundless light, echoing its response.

"Melt!"

Ning Qi gave a soft shout.

Instantly, a powerful spatial fluctuation emanated from the remains, which flew towards the center of Ten Thousand Venerable Mountain.

It rests atop the central peak, casting down misty ripples of space.

The entire Wanzun Mountain began to rumble and shake.

Suspended high in the sky, everyone saw that Wanzun Mountain seemed to have its own life and suddenly came to life.

The mountains are growing, and the grasslands, plains, and rivers are expanding. An extremely rich Immortal Power emanates from the central peak and spreads outwards in all directions.

Originally, there were no buildings inside, but now everyone saw houses appearing in the plains, mountains, and riverbanks, with a rather ancient style.

Many of the houses, buildings, and pavilions are somewhat dilapidated.

Ning Qi's power surged, and he used the power of the world to repair all the dilapidated houses, buildings, and palaces one by one.

The Holy Ancestor couldn't help but ask, "Is this what the body of Fellow Daoist Wei looks like?"

Wei Xian replied, "That's right, but compared to before, Fellow Daoist Ning has now been able to restore it, restoring its High Antiquity appearance!"

Lin Chen stood to the side, watching the pavilion rise and the willows sway gently along the lake shore.

Ning Qi even restored the smallest details, such as the stone steps and landscaping of the plaza, bringing back to life the former disciples' quarters, alchemy pavilion, and weapon-refining Alchemy Pavilion of Mount Buzhou.

As they walked along, they watched the spectacle, exclaiming in amazement.

"As expected of the legendary Mount Buzhou, its previous remains were already comparable to a small world. Now, after merging with the two remaining remains, it could probably be considered a spirit realm."

"Another spirit realm? Doesn't that mean my True Martial Spirit World has merged with three worlds?"

Sword Ancestor and the others ignored Ning Qi and the others' presence and continued their discussion.

"None of these matter. Isn't the most important thing the illusion and Immortal Power within it?"

"What kind of small world or spirit realm could contain so many celestial objects and so much Immortal Power? The environment within them is the most important factor!"

"Not only can immortals reside here, but those of us who have not yet become immortals can also benefit greatly."

Clearly, the existence of this Wanzun Mountain must be the residence of the immortals of the True Martial Spirit World, and also a place for Dao-merging cultivators to advance their studies.

Many people flew down from the clouds and entered the palaces and pavilions within, instantly making Wanzun Mountain more lively.

"Having lived so long, to actually witness the Ruins left behind by the High Antiquity, I can say that my life has not been in vain."

Jiang Ruhai, a former elder of the Wuji Sword Sect, stroked his beard and said.

Vice Sect Master Cang Wanhe nodded in agreement, "As long as we survive, we'll see even more things in the future. The Sect Master has truly broadened the horizons of us old folks!"

Everyone laughed.

Ning Qi and his companions also entered the High Antiquity palace.

Observe the layout of each house and examine the function of each pavilion.

Ning Qi Ning Qi wasn't particularly interested in these former disciples of Mount Buzhou, but he was quite interested in the Alchemy Pavilion weapon-refining workshop, and one of the scripture pavilions.

Wei Xian instructed:

"The cultivation methods we both practice are in the Scripture Pavilion. Fellow Daoist Ning, you are welcome to take a look. As for the items in the Alchemy Pavilion and Weapon Forging Workshop, we have wrecked quite a bit of them over the years, and almost nothing remains. However, there are still some sealed places that we are unable to open."
