Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 1037 - 449: Spoils of War After the Battle

The pitch-black Sea of Realms, the storm has subsided.

Amidst the chaos, Ning Qi reached out towards the remnants of Buzhou Mountain.

In an instant, the pitch-black mountain spun rapidly, continuously shrinking, until it transformed into a small tower-like remnant, falling into Ning Qi’s palm.

Ning Qi silently observed it with his Spiritual Sense.

Previously, he had only seen the shadow of Buzhou Mountain condensed by the Mountain Ancestor, and had never truly seen its entity.

It must be said that just the shadow of Buzhou Mountain condensed by the Mountain Ancestor was enough to suppress the Saint Ancestor and Sea Ancestor, nearly causing their demise.

And this remnant, is rumored to be the true body of Buzhou Mountain, passed down from ancient times, containing countless secrets.

The mountain body was originally ruins; the Mountain Ancestor refined it, reforging it into a mountain shape, which now happens to benefit Ning Qi, saving him the trouble of doing it himself.

Ning Qi’s Spiritual Sense penetrated into the mountain body, scanning its interior.

In just a moment, he had a general understanding; inside, it was extraordinary.

If truly enlarged, it could become a small world.

Inside the mountain body, plains, deserts, swamps, and other common terrains were all present, but mainly consisted of rugged mountain ranges, overall looking desolate.

Sparse black weeds dotted the grasslands, and several black tree trunks stood bare in the forests, bleak and barren.

No living beings existed inside, all things had perished.

At the very center stood a solitary peak, particularly unique.

It appeared as a wrecked Heaven-Reaching Tower, towering in the center of the land, exuding a mysterious aura at first glance.

On one side, there was a cliff face, Ning Qi approached to observe, discovering numerous inscriptions.

The inscriptions were scattered across the cliff, sometimes entirely textual, sometimes pictorial, sometimes both.

It was clear that these were not carved by a single person.

Upon closer look, Ning Qi’s expression turned joyful.

This wall of inscriptions was entirely composed of cultivation methods and various Divine Techniques, along with the chronicles of certain individuals.

The Six Paths Immortal Wheel Divine Technique previously used by the Mountain Ancestor was prominently included.

Ning Qi did not hurry to examine further; suddenly, he heard the sound of chaotic waves in the Sea of Realms.

Ning Qi looked towards the Sea of Realms and found the Mountain Ancestor’s Immortal Body split in two, head and torso, sinking into the chaos.

"Troublesome!"

Ning Qi shook his head and sighed.

If he ignored this guy’s corpse, it would completely be swallowed by the whirlpools of the Sea of Realms, and then who knows where it would be swept away.

Indeed, Ning Qi thought it might be drawn deeper into the Sea of Realms, potentially becoming one of the twisted monsters.

Ning Qi would not let that happen.

The twisted monsters he had encountered so far could be defeated, but if a twisted monster formed from the Immortal Body of someone like the Mountain Ancestor appeared, Ning Qi could not be certain.

Therefore, to prevent the potential creation of a powerful monster, Ning Qi naturally had to help gather the Mountain Ancestor’s corpse.

Casually placing the remnant of Buzhou Mountain into his Storage Space, Ning Qi withdrew a massive Spirit Stone vein.

With a swift motion!

In the blink of an eye, under Ning Qi’s Spiritual Sense sculpting, a Spirit Stone jade coffin appeared before him.

Placing the severed head and body of the Mountain Ancestor into the jade coffin, Ning Qi touched the Mountain Ancestor’s chest.

"Hmm, surprisingly nothing?"

Ning Qi raised the sleeves of the Mountain Ancestor’s hands, happily seeing an ancient ring on the right hand.

"The Saint Ancestor’s Ancient Road Sacred Map was collected by him; it should be in this Storage Ring."

Ning Qi had not forgotten the Ancient Road Sacred Map.

Even one like the Mountain Ancestor, inheritor of Buzhou Mountain, tried to seize the map, indicating its immense value.

Ning Qi held the Storage Ring, his Spiritual Sense probing inside, but was momentarily unable to open it.

"Seems I’ll need some time to crack it; it’s not urgent."

Having dominated the Mountain and Sea Realm for hundreds of thousands of years, the Mountain Ancestor accumulated countless treasures, and combined with Buzhou Mountain’s legacy, Ning Qi had truly struck it rich.

Indeed, the Mountain Ancestor’s Immortal Body was also extremely useful.

To Ning Qi, as well as the Saint Ancestor and Sea Ancestor who had joined the True Martial Spirit Realm, it was a valuable source of study.

All three desired to become Immortal, as did Ning Qi.

Thus, the Mountain Ancestor’s Immortal Body was worth their shared research.

Sealing the Mountain Ancestor in the jade coffin, he sent it into the Storage Space, and Ning Qi looked at the chaotic Sea of Realms.

The pitch-black Sea of Realms had already erased the traces of their battle, as if nothing had ever happened.

Ning Qi’s gaze turned to the deeper Sea of Realms, where a broader world awaited his exploration, along with endless dangers.

"Immortal Realm, twisted monsters, Infinite Evil Qi... all are my exploration targets."

Ning Qi frowned slightly, the last words of the Mountain Ancestor deeply concerned him.

"They will come for me; who are they?"

Ning Qi muttered to himself, disappearing in an instant into the Sea of Realms.

...

True Martial Spirit Realm.

After the Mountain Ancestor was defeated by Ning Qi, the Spirit Realm ceased its advance into the deeper Sea of Realms.

The crisis was resolved, so there was no need to venture into unknown territories, which would only place all living beings in the Spirit Realm in danger.

The Enlightenment Realm Tree had merged with the Seed of Jianmu, granting it the ability to shield the world, and Ning Qi had already activated it.

Now, he leisurely selected a safe area of the Sea of Realms and settled down.

The vast True Martial Spirit Realm continued to absorb the energy of the Mountain and Sea Realm and Vast Realm; its transformation was not yet complete.

Whether the beings of the True Martial Spirit Realm or those of the Mountain and Sea and Vast Realms, they all needed to recuperate and harmonize with each other.

Ning Qi’s original body had not returned, but his avatar remained within, displaying the Sea of Realms battle through projection for some in the Spirit Realm to watch.
