Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 934: Chapter 400: Killing the Master

In the void, the pagoda formed by the Divine Text of a thousand words crumbled, and the figure of the Saint Ancestor reappeared.

Compared to the condition of the Mountain Ancestor, his condition was even worse.

Everyone saw a huge scar slanting across the upper body of the Saint Ancestor, the wound torn open, deep enough to reveal bone, yet no blood flowed.

The Saint Ancestor’s flesh emitted golden light, recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye, but for someone at his level, the speed was considered extremely slow.

Ning Qi observed with great care.

The battle between the two Ancestors had reached this point, and it was evident that the Mountain Ancestor had a slight edge.

His gaze fell on the Mountain Ancestor.

The Mountain Ancestor stood in the void, his eyes blood-red, thick eyebrows bristling, his entire body exuding a killing intent and a murderous aura nearly tangible.

It was unclear whether his current state was due to the pressure from the Saint Ancestor’s Divine Text Pagoda or from the recently performed Divine Techniques.

Ning Qi did not witness what happened inside the Divine Text Pagoda.

Amidst the divine sound of Zen chant and Taoist hymn, he only heard the words "Exterminate Immortal" filled with ultimate killing intent, after which the Mountain Ancestor shattered the pagoda suppressing him and charged out.

"Who speaks of exterminating Immortals without having become one?"

The Saint Ancestor sighed softly, looking down at his injuries, all the golden light on his body pouring into the wound.

The golden light, like water, was energy, constantly washing over the scar, driving out the power left by the Mountain Ancestor.

Immediately, everyone saw his recovery speed increase, the wound seemingly healed in the blink of an eye, appearing unscathed.

However, Ning Qi perceived something different.

The Saint Ancestor had used the power of Time Rule again, but this time he applied it to healing his injuries.

Rather than being healed, it was more accurate to say that the speed was rewritten through the Time Rule to achieve healing.

Ning Qi was incredibly moved, for the power of Time Rule was something even he coveted greatly.

Seeing the Saint Ancestor recover his injuries, the blood-red in the Mountain Ancestor’s eyes intensified, and there was clearly a hint of apprehension in his expression.

No one knew what the Mountain Ancestor experienced when trapped by the Saint Ancestor’s Divine Text Pagoda, but it was evident that his momentum now was conspicuously different from his previous commanding presence.

The Mountain Ancestor was clearly impatient with the Saint Ancestor’s words.

"Old man, the Immortal Path is right in front of you, can’t you see it?"

At this moment, the Saint Ancestor actually glanced in Ning Qi’s direction before responding:

"I once shared your thoughts, but some little fellow woke me from the Immortal dream."

Evidently, judging by his gaze, everyone realized who the Saint Ancestor referred to as the little fellow.

Ning Qi’s heart stirred.

He knew that the three ancestors all harbored ambitions to further transcend their current limitations, which was also the reason behind launching the spiritual war.

But the Saint Ancestor mentioned having been influenced by him, waking somewhat from the Immortal dream, which clearly carried a specific implication.

Ning Qi wanted to stop the Saint Ancestor from talking.

You should shut up!

This old guy engaged with the Mountain Ancestor all day, doesn’t accomplish much besides expertly shifting blame.

He didn’t want to draw attention from the three ancestors now, the Saint Ancestor was clearly hinting that Ning Qi could have some influence over their futures.

Fortunately, the Saint Ancestor just briefly mentioned it, his gaze brushed past the Sea Ancestor, directly staring at the Mountain Ancestor, and continued speaking:

"My Divine Text Pagoda happens to possess some power to gain insight into past and future..."

If someone had previously said this in front of the Mountain Ancestor or the Sea Ancestor, they would have been slapped to extinction.

But for the Saint Ancestor, who can influence slight Time Rules, even as an enemy, his words piqued their interest tremendously.

"Why don’t you tell what you saw?" the Mountain Ancestor asked.

The Saint Ancestor smiled slightly.

"The Divine Text Pagoda can see through three lifetimes, past, present, and future. Everything you just experienced within it, I am equally clear about, and thus gained insight into your ambitions and what you bear..."

Upon hearing this, everyone was momentarily stunned.

This kind of Divine Technique was simply unheard of and never seen before!

Even Ning Qi felt extremely curious, could the Saint Ancestor truly foresee someone’s past, present, and future through Divine Techniques?

As cultivators, after defeating and controlling an enemy, they could use Soul Search to glimpse a person’s past affairs, but lacked sight into the present and future.

Once the opponent is dead, how could there be a present and future?

And yet the Saint Ancestor’s Divine Text Pagoda only trapped the Mountain Ancestor for a moment, could it truly discern a person’s past, present, and future in just that instant?

If it were a low-realm cultivator being trapped, it might be possible, but facing someone like the Mountain Ancestor, the strongest in the Mountain and Sea Realm, everyone harbored doubts.

It was doubt instead of outright denial, the reason being the Saint Ancestor’s ability to perform slight Time Rules.

The Mountain Ancestor snorted, full of disdain.

However, in the eyes of the Sea Ancestor appeared a trace of inquisitive light, with a hint of indistinct color.

The Mountain Ancestor said nothing, but the Sea Ancestor asked, "Is what you claim true?"

The Saint Ancestor said, "I’ll mention a name and you will understand its validity."

The Sea Ancestor suddenly grew silent.

While the Mountain Ancestor stared at the two, frowning slightly.

The Saint Ancestor continued, "Do you still remember Elder Qiming?"

Upon these words, both the Mountain Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor turned pale simultaneously.

Evidently, the Elder Qiming mentioned by the Saint Ancestor was not unfamiliar to them, but rather quite well-known.

The Sea Ancestor bit her silvery teeth, producing a cracking sound, and flew straight to the Saint Ancestor’s side.

In that instant, the expression on her exceptionally beautiful face once again revealed a hint of madness.

"How do you know about Elder Qiming, did you really see the esteemed teacher Qiming in Haoshan’s memory?"
