Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 991 - 426: Seizing the Mountain Ancestor’s Sword (Part 2)

Mountain Ancestor tightly gripped the sword hilt, trying hard to pull the sword outward.

But no matter how much force he used, the sword in his hand seemed to have forever departed from his control, no longer belonging to him or being subject to his command.

Ning Qi swung his empty left palm fiercely.

Mountain Ancestor’s hands were forcibly shaken open by a powerful force, and he received a solid slap from Ning Qi.

Boom boom boom!

Mountain Ancestor clutched his chest, retreating repeatedly in the void afterwards.

A perplexed color appeared in his eyes, as he looked at the sword sheath in Ning Qi’s hand, completely unable to understand what had happened.

”This is impossible!”

Ning Qi stood firm with the sword, facing Mountain Ancestor directly, and said calmly, ”Nothing is impossible!”

As the black Divine Sword disappeared, the previously shriveled space instantly expanded again, regaining vitality.

Moreover, the space on Mountain Ancestor’s side, which was originally damaged, was being repaired at a terrifying speed.

Only the shadows of trees appeared in the void, with different types of leaves connecting together, mending the void.

Just like when Ning Qi used the Seed of Jianmu to mend the holes of the Mountain and Sea Realm in the past, but this time the speed was much faster, almost completed in the blink of an eye!

The space was perfectly repaired, faintly flashing a brilliance, becoming seamless.

Mountain Ancestor suddenly felt a sense of impending danger.

As if the entire space had completely become a sealed space, confining him inside.

Seeing this, Mountain Ancestor’s scarred face gradually calmed down.

He looked at Ning Qi, his eyes filled with curiosity, as if discovering an astonishing treasure.

Mountain Ancestor murmured, ”The Seed of Jianmu indeed has the function of mending worlds, but both you and I have branches of the Seed of Jianmu, and I have related inheritances to match, why can you take away the branch in my hand?”

At this moment, even if he was slow, he realized something was wrong.

After all, Ning Qi previously took the Dragon Scales formed by leaves of the Seed of Jianmu from the World-Devouring Roaming Dragon, which he could understand as Ning Qi snatching the body of the Seed of Jianmu, hence having such abilities.

But later, he used the Secret Technique of Buzhou Mountain to transform that dead branch into a Divine Sword.

With the inheritance of Buzhou Mountain, and his understanding of the interconnected Seed of Jianmu, Mountain Ancestor was confident that in this world, no one could take the branch away from him again.

On the contrary, as long as Ning Qi produced the body of the Seed of Jianmu, he could snatch it back in reverse.

However, the development of events completely differed from what Mountain Ancestor imagined; he even questioned whether he had remembered his inheritance incorrectly!

The inheritance would naturally not be wrong; otherwise, he wouldn’t have reached his current status as the strongest cultivator of two realms, almost offering sacrifices to both realms if Ning Qi hadn’t appeared.

Therefore, everything hinges on Ning Qi.

Mountain Ancestor didn’t believe Ning Qi had such great ability; although now he felt Ning Qi’s strength was still growing, it wasn’t enough to catch up to him.

Therefore, the only explanation was that Ning Qi must possess a treasure of tremendous value!

Linking to Ning Qi’s sudden rise, Mountain Ancestor immediately thought of many possibilities; perhaps Ning Qi, like him, had obtained some inheritance, and even that inheritance’s strength surpassed the inheritance of Buzhou Mountain.

Ning Qi calmly said, ”Do you really want to know?”

Mountain Ancestor squinted slightly, ”Are you willing to say? Anyway, there’s only the two of us here, you might as well say it.”

”Haha, defeat me, and I’ll tell you!”

Ning Qi spun a flourish with his sword and then tossed it into the Storage Space.

At the other end, Ning Qi’s true form took out from the Storage Space and then tossed it into the sky above the True Martial Spirit Realm.

The Enlightenment Realm Tree automatically hung down a branchlet, curling up the Sword Body.

The Sword Body instantly transformed back into a tree branch, landing on the Enlightenment Realm Tree, becoming a new branch.

The tree shadows swayed, seeming pleased, as if thanking Ning Qi.

Ning Qi’s true form smiled faintly, continuing to relocate the entire Vast Realm.

...

Inside the cave space.

Ning Qi used the Enlightenment Realm Tree to restore the cave space, imprisoning himself and Mountain Ancestor inside.

Mountain Ancestor strolled leisurely.

Previously, he was somewhat anxious, but now he wasn’t anxious at all.

Even if the outside Vast Realm disappeared like the Mountain and Sea Realm, he wasn’t worried.

As long as Ning Qi was there, even if he took away part of the Vast Realm, so what?

After killing Ning Qi, everything would naturally return to his hands.

Mountain Ancestor’s attention was now solely focused on Ning Qi across from him; Ning Qi’s appearance undoubtedly surprised him.

Initially, he thought his obstacles on the path to immortality were Sea Ancestor and Saint Ancestor, but both were easily trapped within the shadow of Buzhou Mountain; Ning Qi’s sudden emergence became the greatest obstacle on his path to immortality.

Mountain Ancestor only felt fate was unpredictable.

Ning Qi’s appearance, for him, was nothing short of a better opportunity, comparable to Saint Ancestor’s Ancient Path Sacred Map True Copy!

”Very well, it’s been a long time since anyone provoked me like this; should I say you’re fearless like a newborn calf or do you truly have corresponding strength?”

Mountain Ancestor reached out to grab the void; an ancient scroll was pulled out from the void by him.

Ning Qi looked at the Ancient Path Sacred Map in his hand, his eyes flickering.

”Let me subdue you with Saint Ancestor’s treasure!” Mountain Ancestor suddenly laughed.

He divided a thread of Immortal Dao Aura in his body, injecting it into the Ancient Path Sacred Map True Copy.

Immediately, the Ancient Path Sacred Map automatically opened, floating above Mountain Ancestor’s head.

A shadow of an Ancient Saint fell, followed by strands of Immortal Dao Power like raindrops, injected into Mountain Ancestor’s body.

Mountain Ancestor’s naturally robust physique instantly expanded a bit more; even more terrifying was the Immortal Dao Power within him suddenly surged.

A faint trace of Immortal Qi surrounded his whole body, seeming to ascend effortlessly.

Ning Qi saw this and glanced at the Ancient Path Sacred Map True Copy open above Mountain Ancestor’s head.

However, Mountain Ancestor wouldn’t allow him time to appreciate it, stepping instantly to Ning Qi’s back.

At this moment, his figure seemed detached from the mortal world, transcending time and space, unhindered by all!

His speed was even faster to the extreme, affecting the rules of time and space.

Swish!

His sturdy long leg cleaved down like a giant axe, smashing into Ning Qi’s back.

Seeing that Ning Qi had no intention of turning around, he seemed about to be struck by Mountain Ancestor’s kick.

But what surprised Mountain Ancestor was Ning Qi’s silhouette also seemed like flowing light, countering the time and space.

Bam!

The long leg like an axe was caught by Ning Qi with one hand.

His youthful face revealed a smile.

”Forgot to tell you, Saint Ancestor has passed all his life’s studies to me, so...”

Ning Qi grabbed Mountain Ancestor’s hand, and fiercely threw him.

In an instant, Mountain Ancestor’s figure flew out.

Mountain Ancestor’s large body, like a stubborn stone, smashed towards the wall of space.

But a second before hitting, Mountain Ancestor suddenly halted his flying body, slowly standing up.

Ning Qi’s figure appeared in front of him, equally sweeping out a leg, like a huge whip coming.

Snap!

Saint Ancestor’s arm extended, blocking that kick from Ning Qi.

Immediately afterward, the two quickly engaged in hand-to-hand combat in the void.

This time, their fight differed from before; it was filled with eeriness, as if both had transcended time and space!

At times, their figures were everywhere in space; at times, their remains formed into a picture of them, traversing past, present, and future.

Time was unknowingly passing by, and they punched each other again.

A violent blast of fierce wind erupted in the void, within the entire space, all their remains instantly unified; space and time were also unified.

”You and that old scholar have only known each other for days; even if he passed his heritage to you, you have at most a few two-hour sessions to comprehend, remarkable, remarkable!”

Mountain Ancestor exclaimed consecutively.

His eyes were increasingly filled with delight, evaluating Ning Qi as if assessing the value of a treasure.

Undoubtedly, Ning Qi’s value in Mountain Ancestor’s eyes was once again elevated.

”Before, when I fought that old scholar, he also used time rule techniques, but never expected, your understanding of time rules has already surpassed him; tell me, how should I view you? Aren’t you truly a True Immortal reincarnated?”

Ning Qi was too lazy to respond.

His battle with Mountain Ancestor seemed more like syncing to verify his own learning; Mountain Ancestor was a great opponent for him, especially since the other was also performing similar Divine Techniques, Time Rules!

After battling Ning Qi for so long, Mountain Ancestor clearly understood Ning Qi’s methods too.

He smiled slightly, the scars on his face appearing particularly ferocious.

”I won’t fall for it anymore, being your free teacher!”

After he finished speaking, above him, the Ancient Path Sacred Map True Copy projected another shadow, drilling into his body!
