Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 813: Chapter 343: Mountain and Sea Secrets (Part 2)

The Mountain and Sea Realm Will snorted coldly, seemingly expressing displeasure.

The Sea of Emotions referred to by it was actually the name of the Sea Ancestor.

The Mountain Ancestor laughed and said: ”Realm Venerable, you exaggerate our power too much. Are you sure that even if we don’t seize your power, you can still ascend to the Supreme Immortal Realm? I don’t believe it!”

The Mountain and Sea Realm Will choked, then collected its emotions.

”Depending on me to protect Ning Qi is impossible. You also know that my power only works within the node radiation range in the spiritual realm war, and only if our cultivators occupy the nodes.”

”However, if you and the Sea of Emotions could release your hold on me, then I could absolutely ensure his safety.”

The Mountain Ancestor replied: ”Realm Venerable, stop joking. The balance between us has been maintained until now and is difficult to break. Even if it’s possible, even if I agree, does the Sea of Emotions agree? If you can convince her, I naturally agree.”

”Haoshan you...”

The emotional shadow of the Mountain and Sea Realm Will was pressed down but seemed to become agitated again.

As the will born from the Mountain and Sea Realm, it was originally the realm’s venerable presence, but when spiritual sense was born, it was discovered by the Mountain Ancestor and Sea Ancestor, who jointly extracted its power for their own use.

Thus, its status as Realm Venerable was presumably no more than reputation!

So, previously when it appeared in front of the Domain Masters under the Mountain Ancestor’s command in the Celestial Fire Realm, the other party outwardly respected it but actually didn’t take it seriously.

Currently, the entire Mountain and Sea Realm is jointly governed by the Mountain Ancestor, Sea Ancestor, and it over this vast Spirit Realm.

And the Mountain Ancestor and Sea Ancestor have completely imprisoned its true body, only allowing it to roam outside as a shadow will, which is also helpless.

If it were not for its shadow’s power being useful to both, the Mountain and Sea Realm Will even feels that they would completely shut out its right to roam outside, making it possibly the most miserable realm will across the Sea of Realms.

As for initiating the spiritual realm war, apart from having the intention to ascend, wasn’t its hope also to exchange with the other spiritual realms and break free from this situation, a risky move.

Fortunately, since then, the Mountain Ancestor and Sea Ancestor have been at odds with each other, not as intimate as initially, giving it an opportunity.

The Mountain Ancestor said: ”That Ning Qi is an indispensable fierce general for our ascension, and must be protected well. Since the power you can exert is limited, I will arrange it.”

He spoke and his head turned, looking at the servant behind.

”Summon those few up.”

”Yes!”

At this moment, the servant dared to straighten up.

He shouted: ”Announcing the Celestial Fire Realm, Earth Gold Realm, Vine Wood Realm three Domain Masters to come.”

The voice was vast, generating endless echo, spreading down Heaven-Reaching Peak.

Below Heaven-Reaching Peak.

There was a jade white Heavenly Ladder, winding straight down to the lowest place.

It was a square called Immortal Peak.

There were two cultivators with an uncertain aura guarding this ladder to ascend immortality, preventing anyone from getting close.

At this moment, Fan City, Jin Guanghua, Mu Qingtian, the three Domain Masters, were respectfully standing in the square, awaiting the Mountain Ancestor’s summons.

Without the Mountain Ancestor’s command, they dared not ascend the ladder.

Otherwise, the two guards would definitely not let them step up alive.

As the announcement from Heaven-Reaching Peak descended, the faces of the three instantly lit up with joy.

One of the guards said: ”Please, sirs!”

Only then did Fan City and the trio proceed gingerly up the ladder.

Legend has it that this white jade Heavenly Ladder is also a Spiritual Treasure with enormous power.

There is further rumor that it is the dragon vein of the mountains in the Mountain and Sea Realm, transformed by the Mountain Ancestor using great magical power into this Heavenly Ladder.

When all three ascended the Heavenly Ladder, except for Fan City, Jin Guanghua and Mu Qingtian were ascending for the first time.

Fan City had been up before, but how many years had passed he couldn’t quite remember; it had been so long.

The three moved quickly up the steps.

Fan City in front, the two behind.

The more they ascended, the more they felt it was an endless road, as if it would never end.

The three were shocked.

Especially Fan City, becoming extremely solemn.

The last time he came, the feeling wasn’t terrifying like this.

It seems, the Mountain Ancestor’s strength has frighteningly advanced again.

Who knows how much time passed, clearly ascended together, the three surprisingly separated.

They were seated at various points along the Heavenly Ladder, unable to proceed upward, their whole bodies drenched as if fished out from water.

The three were drenched in sweat, rolling down along the skin, what couldn’t flow down steamed up in a burst of hot vapor.

Above, suddenly a smoke-like, mist-like giant hand reached down, transforming into three palms, carrying the three swiftly to the peak.

Before long, the three were ferried to the highest section of Heaven-Reaching Peak.

The three stood below ten steps, looking respectful, bowing deeply.

”Subordinates pay respects to the Mountain Ancestor!”

”No need for courtesy.”

The three then straightened their posture.

Looking towards the peak, they could only see a vast, boundless back.

At the top, who represents the peak? Only the Mountain Ancestor!

And behind was a slightly hunched figure, wearing a dragon-shaped mask, a servant in black.

”What brings you here?”

The black-robed servant inquired.

Upon inquiry about the purpose here, the three immediately displayed a sorrowful expression.

”Mountain Ancestor, we came for each of our sons.”

The black-robed servant upon hearing glanced at the Mountain Ancestor, saw that the Mountain Ancestor had no intention to turn around.

So he inquired again: ”Mountain Ancestor oversees sun and moon, managing myriad affairs, should your sons’ affairs also bother the Mountain Ancestor?”

His tone carried a hint of reprimand.

The dragon-shaped mask had an open-eyed position, seemingly emitting a gloomy light, locking eyes on the three.

The three felt a chill to the bone, as if their physical body or primordial spirit was possessed by something, filled with dread!

The Domain Masters of Earth Gold and Vine Wood Realms, Jin Guanghua and Mu Qingtian dared not speak.

Only Fan City could still speak, after all, he ranked top fifty among generals under the Mountain Ancestor’s command.

”Subordinate dares not!”

Fan City’s forehead was filled with cold sweat, even not daring to wipe.

Fear struck his heart; the dragon-faced servant’s cultivation advanced to an unbeatable level?

Back then, visiting the Mountain Ancestor, the dragon-faced servant didn’t exert such pressure!

Fan City momentarily regretted, knowing ahead, wouldn’t trouble the Mountain Ancestor like this.

But, quite emotional; although unfriendly towards subordinates, held dear his child above all else.

Plus with two sworn younger brothers, the three’s only sons simultaneously perished, he couldn’t contain it, intent on seeking the Mountain Ancestor, requesting a resurrection divine artifact.

Also, eager to exact vengeance against Ning Qi soon.

”Let them continue.”

Suddenly, the Mountain Ancestor spoke.

”Yes!” The dragon-faced servant complied, ”Continue.”

The three felt as if they were granted amnesty, the pressure from the dragon-faced servant vanished instantly.

Jin Guanghua and Mu Qingtian still dared not speak, waiting for Fan City to speak for them.

Fan City dared not delay further, immediately said: ”Mountain Ancestor eternal, subordinate came to request the Divine Artifact for resuscitating our three deceased sons.”

The dragon-faced servant coldly said: ”Explain everything clearly!”

”Yes!”

Thus, Fan City embellished a tragic tale.

He mentioned the sons of the three ventured bravely into the spiritual realm war for the sake of Mountain and Sea Realm, striving to early secure victory for the spirit realm war by any means.

However, encountering an individual called Ning Qi, a humble genius.

That Ning Qi ignored nobility, not only failed to notify their sons beforehand for cross-realm combat, but also caused their sons to be killed by Vast Realm’s three grand armies, and one captured and two kidnapped.

All intelligence gathered from Mountain and Sea Realm Will.

Strangely, the Mountain and Sea Realm Will did not obscure anything but disclosed all real circumstances to the three.

Thus, Fan City gritted his teeth recounting how Ning Qi plainly had the capability to save their captured sons but directly obliterated them in front of Vast Realm cultivators with one palm.

He narrated emotionally, tears flowing, beside him the two elder cried uncontrollable.

”Subordinate beseeches Mountain Ancestor, grant the Divine Artifact so we can revive our sons. Additionally, hoping Mountain Ancestor can reprimand the disrespectful Ning Qi!”
