Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 951: Chapter 408: Identity Exposed

Ning Qi released a thread, flying toward the patterned barrier.

That strand of Sea of Realms power, similar to a hair strand, slowly touched the pattern in the air.

At the moment of contact, Ning Qi’s eyes captured the pattern coming to life, suddenly drawing in the thread.

But in the next instant, as if disdainful, the pattern spat out the Sea of Realms power.

Upon seeing this, Ning Qi felt a strange sensation rise in his heart.

For some reason, the space where the Sea Ancestor imprisoned the fierce beast of the Sea of Realms and cultivated the power of the Sea of Realms surfaced in his mind.

He believed that the various spaces he traversed were not accidentally arranged but were interconnected.

However, Ning Qi had yet to unravel the mystery within them.

He also did not understand why the peculiar pattern before him repelled the Sea of Realms power.

Beside him, the Mountain and Sea Realm Will’s phantom spoke again: "Try using the key from the Sea Ancestor’s legacy."

At the mention of the Sea Ancestor’s legacy, Ning Qi looked intently at the mystical patterns blocking their path forward.

These patterns only revealed a part when he touched certain areas below.

They seemed to be part of an expansive barrier, teeming with vibrant life force, so strong that Ning Qi speculated that even all cultivators under the Sea Ancestor could be completely barred outside.

However, this space evidently belongs to the deepest, hidden part of the Mountain and Sea Realm, which only the Sea Ancestor had truly entered until now.

But since the Mountain and Sea Realm Will mentioned the key from the Sea Ancestor’s legacy, Ning Qi knew that even the Sea Ancestor would need to use the "key" to enter here.

With this in mind, Ning Qi recalled the door-opening method from the Sea Ancestor’s legacy.

Suddenly, Ning Qi stretched out his right hand, his inner power surging and circulating in a specific manner.

His fingertips flew as he swiftly transmuted methods before him.

Soon, the space before him was compressed into a key shape matching his size.

Then, various energies were injected into it, and the rule key began to shine and illuminate the void.

However, this was not the end. Ning Qi performed a spell, and the key suddenly transformed into a sword, hovering above his head and pointing in the direction they had just come.

Booming sounds echoed!

Behind Ning Qi and the Mountain and Sea Realm Will, a massive noise erupted.

Soon, terrifying energy from the Endless Sea converged here.

Those energies seemed to pulsate rhythmically, like an aggressive tide rushing in.

Suddenly, from the bottom of the Endless Sea, a pure white full moon appeared.

The flawless moonlight spread, illuminating this world.

Moonrise from the sea floor!

Ning Qi never expected this key to trigger such a dreamlike phenomenon.

As the full moon and moonlight emerged, the barrier’s patterns below immediately appeared.

Dense patterns floated in the void, twisting and transforming, like flowers blooming and animals migrating, constructing various mystical diagrams.

Ning Qi felt an ultimate yin and soft power emanating from the full moon, so gentle that both he and the Mountain and Sea Realm Will nearly melted.

He felt as though he returned to the womb, experiencing an extraordinary peace and stability.

The ultimate yin and soft power then infused into the person-sized key, which rotated in the air, absorbing it completely.

Buzz!

Suddenly, the key autonomously flew toward the patterned barrier below, inserting into a crucial spot.

Instantly, with that spot as the center, the twisting patterns gradually receded, opening a portal.

Ning Qi gazed at the newly appeared portal, glancing at the Mountain and Sea Realm Will.

The Mountain and Sea Realm Will’s expression grew somewhat serious, looking at Ning Qi, speaking:

"Young one, if you proceed further, there’s no turning back. Are you sure you want to enter?"

Ning Qi smiled, replying: "Realm Venerable, didn’t I say in the Battlefield Realm that I would rescue you?"

He answered with a question, the genuine commitment he expressed made the Mountain and Sea Realm Will slightly dazed.

The Mountain and Sea Realm Will is the self-formed will of the Spirit Realm, yet after truly awakening, he never encountered such treatment from anyone.

The Mountain Ancestor and Sea Ancestor used him as a tool to steal power, never letting him experience true emotions.

Perhaps, for the Spirit Realm Will, having emotions was unnecessary.

However, since the Spirit Realm War began, upon meeting the fellow Vast Realm Will, he perceived the other’s state of existence with a hint of envy.

Envious that the Vast Realm Will could coexist harmoniously with the Saint Ancestor, unlike his guarded relationship with the Mountain Ancestor and Sea Ancestor.

And since the Battlefield Realm connected the two realms, the Mountain and Sea Realm Will could sense the Vast Realm’s condition.

The entire Vast Realm thrived, with surrounding smaller worlds developing alongside it, mutually beneficial.

Unlike him, since the Mountain Ancestor and Sea Ancestor’s capture, he was forced to devour nearby, reliant small worlds to grow stronger, solely for rapid advancement.

The Mountain and Sea Realm Will pondered deeply, feeling quite emotional.

Though Ning Qi seemed somewhat alien to him, the person was still the same.

He flew to the portal but halted before it, blocking the entrance, saying: "Since you’re willing to help me, I won’t conceal anything from you."

The two suspended before the portal.

Ning Qi listened quietly, eager to know what the Mountain and Sea Realm Will wanted to reveal.

The Mountain and Sea Realm Will’s phantom pointed at the portal, continuing: "Inside is the world where I am sealed by the Mountain and Sea Ancestors."
