Chapter 964 - 414: Seed of Jianmu

The Seed of Jianmu swayed in Ning Qi’s palm.

It was entirely emerald green, brimming with boundless vitality, no longer the half-withered, half-fresh appearance it had before.

Since being subdued by Ning Qi, it now obeyed him like a domesticated pet, following his commands.

When Ning Qi first encountered it, it was over half a meter tall.

Later, Ning Qi comprehended the Path of Yin and Yang, generated Immortal Dao Qi, and further nourished the Seed of Jianmu, causing it to grow an additional ten centimeters in height.

Understand that for it to reach half a meter in height, it absorbed the Mountain and Sea Realm’s power for hundreds of thousands of years.

Of course, it’s not just the Mountain and Sea Realm; to be precise, it includes those small worlds beneath it!

The True Martial Realm was once one of the small worlds under the Mountain and Sea Realm. If it weren’t for a genius like Ning Qi turning everything around, it couldn’t have escaped the fate of being devoured either.

Previously, Ning Qi thought these small worlds were devoured by the Mountain and Sea Realm, only to learn later that it was actually the Seed of Jianmu in his hand doing the devouring.

The Seed of Jianmu, a mythical tree accompanying Buzhou Mountain, was said to serve as a road connecting to the Celestial Realm.

After the collapse of Buzhou Mountain, Jianmu also perished, unexpectedly leaving behind such a seed.

Due to the Mountain Ancestor acquiring the inheritance of Buzhou Mountain, Jianmu was resurrected.

But it was also controlled by the Mountain Ancestor, using it to seal the essence of the Mountain and Sea Realm and providing power to the Mountain Ancestor.

Every bite and sip is predetermined.

In conclusion, this Seed of Jianmu has an incredible origin and is extraordinarily miraculous.

It even uses the Spirit Realm as nourishment, relying on devouring World Power to grow.

Beside him, the Mountain and Sea Realm Will stared blankly at the shadow of the tree in Ning Qi’s hand, its heart nearly numb.

It still didn’t have an answer as to why, being a World Will itself, this damned tree sealed it but not Ning Qi?

Instead, Ning Qi had subdued the Jianmu.

The Mountain and Sea Realm Will finally couldn’t hold back and asked, ”How exactly did you subdue it?”

Ning Qi was, however, surprised and glanced at the Mountain and Sea Realm Will.

”You truly don’t know?”

”If you don’t tell me, how would I know?”

Ning Qi chuckled, saying, ”I’ll first use its power to stabilize the energy flowing from the Mountain and Sea Realm to Buzhou Mountain, then tell you.”

The heart of the Mountain and Sea Realm Will was itching with curiosity.

Ning Qi’s words suddenly made it feel that the answer might not be so complicated, but it truly couldn’t understand, yet had no choice but to wait now.

Ning Qi suddenly blew a breath.

The Seed of Jianmu remained in his hand, but projected a massive tree shadow forward.

The tree shadow continued to expand until it stood as a towering pillar, blocking the breach in the Boundary Wall of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Beneath the tree shadow, endless roots stirred, instantly embedding themselves into the ruptured part of the Boundary Wall below.

Above the tree shadow, the leaves shook, and root-like tendrils emerged, climbing the shattered Boundary Wall, intertwining within it immediately.

The tree shadow moved both up and down, like the world’s finest tailor, completely stitching and sealing the broken Boundary Wall of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

In an instant, the energy flowing towards the shadow of Buzhou Mountain from the Mountain and Sea Realm noticeably paused.

The calamity within the entire Mountain and Sea Realm suddenly came to a halt.

The Mountain and Sea Realm Will was stunned once again.

The entire Mountain and Sea Realm, being his physical body, felt a sense of tranquility, making him feel very comfortable.

However, he didn’t focus on the Mountain and Sea Realm but instead stared at the tree shadow.

He never imagined that the mysterious little tree, which was born by devouring his power, could actually help him.

”What kind of tree species is this?”

The Mountain and Sea Realm Will inquired.

To this day, it still didn’t know its name. Seeing Ning Qi seemingly exploring more of its abilities, it couldn’t help but ask.

Ning Qi responded, ”It’s called Jianmu, meaning construction or building, and it has such abilities.”

”Oh?”

Upon hearing the name, the Mountain and Sea Realm Will’s face turned bitter, sighing helplessly:

”This tree, named Jianmu, almost cost me my life.”

The shadow of Jianmu temporarily repaired the breach in the Mountain and Sea Realm, and Ning Qi clearly perceived a tremendous spiritual power surveying them.

That spiritual power was imbued with Immortal Dao Aura, extremely rigid and masculine, simultaneously exuding a confident and assertive will!

It seems that within the shadow of Buzhou Mountain, the Mountain Ancestor had noticed the anomaly on this side.

Within the War Domain.

The shadow of Buzhou Mountain had already completely touched the Boundary Wall of the War Domain, devouring it at the pace of silkworms eating leaves.

The War Domain no longer existed. One could say that only the shadow of Buzhou Mountain hovered between the Mountain and Sea Realm and the Vast Realm, connecting the two realms.

Once it had completely devoured the Boundary Wall of the War Domain, it would automatically link to the Boundary Walls of the two realms, beginning to truly devour them.

The Mountain and Sea Realm was already being devoured, so precisely speaking, once it truly linked the two realms, Buzhou Mountain would begin to devour the Vast Realm!

And now, the disturbance from within the Mountain and Sea Realm halted the shadow of Buzhou Mountain from continuing to devour the Mountain and Sea Realm, immediately alerting the three Ancestors within it.

Below, the Saint Ancestor was drenched in sweat, having long lost his scholarly demeanor.

Steam, golden in color, emanated from his body, resisting the phantoms attacking him from all sides.

Those phantoms were the worshipping shadows once revealed on Buzhou Mountain, some from the past, others recent shadows of cultivators under the Mountain Ancestor who had been sacrificed. They were now involved in the assault against the Saint and Sea Ancestors.

What left the Saint and Sea Ancestors helpless was that these phantoms were not strong in life, but as the shadow of Buzhou Mountain grew, their strength increased rapidly.

Even more terrifying is that they were immortal; even if the two used Great Magical Power to destroy them, they would be reborn on Buzhou Mountain.
