Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 1052 - 456: Immortal Plants Everywhere, Chaotic Flora (Part 2)

The Sea Ancestor’s ice-blue eyes flickered with a strange light.

”This is truly mystical.”

Usually, when a cultivator undergoes a tribulation, no one can assist them; it all depends on themselves.

Yet, this Lei Peach substitute tribulation wood has such an effect, it’s simply unbelievable.

The three of them wandered through the internal world, admiring the flora and immortal wood, their hearts filled with joy and surprise.

”Realm Venerable, with this Ten Thousand Venerable Mountain, for the cultivators of the True Martial Spirit Realm, the immortal path is promising.”

”Indeed, back in the day, we couldn’t have enjoyed so many good things. Now, immortal grass spreads far and wide, immortal wood forms peaks. As long as the spiritual power of the True Martial Spirit Realm is enough, and if the Ten Thousand Venerable Mountain fully recovers, there will be an inexhaustible supply of immortal material.”

Sea Ancestor and Saint Ancestor sighed respectively.

Ning Qi nodded slightly, a smile appearing on his face.

The products within this Ten Thousand Venerable Mountain were also an unexpected pleasure for him.

Such a large amount of immortal material, whether in a small world or the Spirit Realm, could not be found at all.

Unexpectedly, so many seeds were preserved within the Ten Thousand Venerable Mountain, and now with the improved environment, they have sprouted anew.

Ning Qi calculated in his heart, the combined value of these immortal materials was likely more precious than all the materials gained from the entire Spirit Realm war.

Finally, the three of them stopped at the center of the world.

A solitary peak stood tall before them, far more towering and precipitous than any peak they had seen.

At the foot of the solitary peak, there appeared even more immortal materials. However, these plants were more bizarre and rare than those seen before, nearly stunning the three of them.

The flora in front of them was half black, half green, constantly changing colors, as if night and day were alternating.

”This place must be where the energies of the Sea of Realms and the Immortal Dao aura clash most intensely, thus causing the mutation of the plants here,” the Sea Ancestor murmured.

Ning Qi had removed the Sea of Realms energy within, but inevitably, some plants that have continuously undergone mutations under the clash of the two energies.

Now that they have regenerated, they have changed appearance.

”What a pity, so much immortal material is contaminated by the Sea of Realms energy, truly a waste!” the Saint Ancestor sighed.

Ning Qi gazed at these mutated plants, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

He suddenly said, ”That’s not necessarily true!”

The two were immediately puzzled, ”What do you mean by this?”

Ning Qi slowly said, ”The plants here mutated due to the clash of the two energies, yet they survived; doesn’t that show their value?”

The Saint Ancestor frowned, ”You mean?”

The Sea Ancestor, on the other hand, seemed to understand; she reached out to pick a leaf, feeling its energy.

”In this plant, immortal power and the power of the Sea of Realms coexist, strangely fused together. For ordinary cultivators, these plants may be useless, but for someone like me, they’re like treasures!”

”Hmm?” The Saint Ancestor was momentarily confused before he caught on, ”I understand now!”

Since these plants can neutralize the two energies, they are naturally invaluable exotic treasures.

The Saint Ancestor couldn’t help but recall Ning Qi’s previous words and the scene of the Mountain Ancestor becoming immortal.

Few places can escape the invasion of the Sea of Realms, and if one day the world is completely invaded by the Sea of Realms, those immortals from the Immortal Realm who once transcended the Sea of Realms might find survival difficult.

And these plants, perhaps, could help them...

However, all of this would have to wait to be seen.

At least for now, these plants, mixed with both energies, are beneficial not only to Ning Qi but also to the Sea Ancestor who has integrated the Sea of Realms energy.

The Sea Ancestor hadn’t forgotten Ning Qi’s words about exploring a new path to immortality, perhaps even when the world is invaded by the Sea of Realms, one could still achieve immortality.

The Sea Ancestor even felt vaguely that if Ning Qi succeeded in this exploration, it would affect all creatures within the Sea of Realms.

”These plants are neither immortal materials nor materials of the Sea of Realms. What should we call them?”

The Saint Ancestor frowned.

Ning Qi sensed something, and softly said, ”Let’s call them Chaos Grass and Chaos Wood.”

”That’s a good idea!”

The three of them no longer dwelled on these mutated immortal grass and wood, their gazes turned to the solitary peak further beyond.

Even with the eyes of immortals, facing this peak, it seemed they couldn’t see the top.

The solitary peak was like a remnant of a Heaven-Reaching Tower, standing upon the earth, reaching the Celestial Court above. Just one look gave a special feeling.

As if this mountain could only be climbed, not flown over!

As they approached this peak, the peak emitted a dense Immortal Dao aura.

It seemed the entire mountain was not of the mortal world but an immortal peak that had fallen from above the nine heavens!

Feeling the intoxicating Immortal Dao aura, the Saint Ancestor felt light and airy as if truly ascending to the Immortal Realm.

”After so many years, this solitary peak still holds so much immortal power.”

The immortal power above this peak far exceeded the immortal power within the Mountain Ancestor Immortal Body.

No wonder that in prior battles, after devouring Buzhou Mountain, the Mountain Ancestor produced so much immortal power within himself; it all originated here.

If this immortal power hadn’t been constantly battling the intruding Sea of Realms energy, the Mountain Ancestor might have drawn even more immortal power from it, making the outcome of the previous war uncertain.

The Sea Ancestor’s crimson lips curled into a mischievous smile, ”If Haoshan knew about all this, he’d regret it to death.”

”Don’t worry, he can see it now!” Ning Qi responded.

Ning Qi had released part of the restriction on the Mountain Ancestor’s spirit, allowing him to better perceive everything outside.

Undoubtedly, the Mountain Ancestor, who had only felt it vaguely before, was now enraged to the point his immortal soul nearly ignited.

”Damn it, damn it, all of this should have been mine!”

He no longer dared to offend Ning Qi, only venting his frustration in such a subdued manner.

”A mountain within a mountain, a realm within a realm; truly remarkable as the former Buzhou Mountain!” The Saint Ancestor praised.

Ning Qi moved forward, forming a hand seal.

”Open!”

In an instant, the peak resembling a Heaven-Reaching Tower released a layer of defensive shroud.

Even denser immortal power emanated from the solitary peak, like the sun shining upon the earth.

In a flash, the Chaos Grass and Chaos Wood at the mountain’s foot shimmered with glimmers of light under the immortal power.

The few of them glanced around, awestruck once more.

Then Ning Qi turned to the others, ”Though this mountain is incomplete, it is quite mystical. Before, I explored part of it; on one side, there’s a cliff face with carvings worth studying, comparable to the inheritances the Mountain Ancestor obtained.”

The Saint Ancestor, who appreciated calligraphy and painting, felt intrigued and expectant.

”Well, this is unusual!”

Ning Qi led the two of them flying toward the cliff face on the other side.

With the Sea of Realms energy gone, the immortal power within the peak fully emerged, making the cliff face more vivid than when Ning Qi had previously explored it.

The three paused before the cliff face, observing it from a distance.

”Six Paths Immortal Wheel? Isn’t this the divine technique used by the Mountain Ancestor at the end, now inscribed on the cliff?”

”Complete Heaven Immortal Guide Scripture...” The Sea Ancestor murmured, ”This is also the cultivation technique of Haoshan, isn’t it?”

The two were deeply engrossed in the murals, their focus entirely on them.

Ning Qi, having seen these before, thought for a moment and took out the Saint Ancestor’s Ancient Road Sacred Map.

”Go!”

With a soft command, the Ancient Road Sacred Map flew onto a blank space on the cliff face.

”Let this map also remain here,” Ning Qi’s gaze shifted to the two, ”Are you satisfied with this world?”

Ning Qi’s voice roused the two.

They recalled Ning Qi’s previous words.

Ning Qi had mentioned making this mountain their residence, and allowing certain numbers from the True Martial Spirit Realm to enter and listen to their teachings.

They readily accepted the idea of teaching, for they considered themselves part of the True Martial Spirit Realm and wanted to contribute positively.

As for this mountain becoming their residence... they couldn’t be happier!

For a moment, they felt as other cultivators from the two realms did; this place was like the Immortal Realm for their cultivation.

If someone were to tell them to go elsewhere, they’d be genuinely unwilling to leave.

”Realm Venerable, we gratefully accept!”

Thus, both expressed their gratitude to Ning Qi with a bow.

”Alright, since you wish to stay, I’ll tell you something else.”

Ning Qi suddenly wore a playful smile.

The two felt an uneasy shiver at his expression.

”What is it?”
