Chapter 955 - 410: Ultimate Yin and Yang
As the Mountain and Sea Realm Will explained everything, Ning Qi had thoroughly understood all the secrets of the Mountain and Sea Realm.
Why the Mountain and Sea Ancestors would break up, and why the Mountain and Sea Realm Will would be sealed by the two.
Among the most valuable information, firstly, is that half-green, half-withered small tree. Ning Qi is really curious about what kind of tree it is, to have such terrifying power.
Secondly, it is the legacy of Buzhou Mountain from the Mountain Ancestor, even more terrifying than previously revealed.
The Mountain Ancestor can actually use Wooden Thorns to restrain the World Will, a method that was not shown in the War Domain.
Ning Qi suspected that perhaps the Mountain Ancestor would later use such methods against the Vast Realm Will.
Ning Qi looked ahead at the small tree and asked the Mountain and Sea Realm Will: "What kind of tree is this?"
"I don’t know either. It should be an exotic tree species left by the legacy of Buzhou Mountain," replied the Mountain and Sea Realm Will.
Ning Qi pondered slightly.
Previously, when he was facing threats from the Mountain and Sea Realm in the True Martial Realm, he only thought about solving the existence issue of the True Martial Realm, and at that time, he only thought that solving the Mountain and Sea Realm would suffice.
But now, Ning Qi realized that what he had to solve was not the Mountain and Sea Realm, but the Mountain Ancestor and this small tree.
Staring at the half-withered, half-thriving small tree, Ning Qi suddenly asked: "Realm Venerable, why has this tree become like this? Has it always been in this state?"
The Mountain and Sea Realm Will replied:
"Of course not, previously it absorbed my power and grew from a seed to a sapling, all of which were similar to normal tree species, full of life."
"But one day, Haoshan, that fellow, not only stole my power but also stole this small tree’s power, and so it became like this."
Ning Qi pointed at the side of the small tree where the branches were missing.
"When did the branches on that side go missing?"
"Just recently, when Haoshan left the Mountain and Sea Realm!"
Ning Qi was stunned.
Because after obtaining the withered leaves of this small tree, he could shield the Perception of Spirit Realm Will.
And since the leaves of this small tree have such efficacy, what role might its branches have?
"Why did the Mountain Ancestor break off its branches? I think before the Mountain Ancestor left the Mountain and Sea Realm, he wouldn’t do anything useless."
The Mountain and Sea Realm Will stared at Ning Qi.
"You should have guessed, this small tree is very magical. It can restrain a Spirit Realm Will of this intensity, its leaves can block the perception of Spirit Realm Will, and its branches can..."
"What can they do?"
"Just by holding its branches, one can easily traverse through world barriers!"
"Hmm?"
Ning Qi’s heart was shocked. He suddenly realized that the Mountain Ancestor might have other moves, but he kept it hidden from the Saint Ancestor and Sea Ancestor.
Ning Qi immediately stood up, and resolutely said: "We should also quickly enter this core territory, if we stay too long, I fear there will be changes."
The Mountain and Sea Realm Will also stood up.
However, he still said: "This is the last barrier, and you really want to enter? You’ve seen the state of my true will now, you are similar to me. If you want to enter, you might instantly be pinned down by that small tree, and it will absorb your power as nourishment for growth!"
Ning Qi did not answer but reached out to touch the last barrier.
Rustle!
As soon as he touched the barrier in front of him, the small tree in the Inner World shook slightly, and the leaves made a rustling sound.
In an instant, at the edge of the Inner World with a ten-mile radius, the barrier automatically appeared, like a large upside-down bowl blocking Ning Qi’s entry.
And innumerable patterns grew on the barrier, some in various shapes and sizes of tree leaves, some intertwining to form tree roots dancing like octopus tentacles, constantly changing shape, looking quite scary.
Ning Qi’s Golden Pupil of Illusion-breaking stared at the barrier.
He suddenly had an illusion, perhaps this barrier was not preventing him from entering but was protecting him.
Ning Qi did not stay, and once again gathered the key to open the barrier from the Sea Ancestor legacy.
A giant key appeared above Ning Qi, and Ning Qi stretched out his hand to point forward.
Instantly, the key flew out, automatically landing in a certain place.
In just a moment, the flashing patterns on the barrier paused, creating an entry and exit door in front of Ning Qi.
Ning Qi stepped inside.
But this time, the shadow of the Mountain and Sea Realm Will did not follow.
He stopped in place, just staring dumbly at Ning Qi’s resolute figure moving forward, without fear.
The Mountain and Sea Realm Will’s true form had been pinned to the top of the inner dome and did not need to enter within again.
If he were given a choice, to return to the moment when the Mountain and Sea Ancestors offered him this seed, he would absolutely not have gotten involved with this seed, with this small tree.
Yet Ning Qi, after hearing his explanation, still chose to move forward.
At that moment, the Mountain and Sea Realm Will couldn’t help but admire Ning Qi.
But alongside the admiration came a trace of worry.
Could Ning Qi withstand the attack of the small tree?
Since now Ning Qi, to him, was no longer an indifferent person, Ning Qi’s success or failure was related to whether he could escape the small tree’s seal, even to the survival of the entire Mountain and Sea Realm, related to the final development of the Spirit Realm War.
Within the War Domain, the Saint Ancestor and Sea Ancestor were also trapped by the Mountain Ancestor within the shadow of Buzhou Mountain, continuously being refined by the Mountain Ancestor.
Compared to the Mountain Ancestor winning, the Mountain and Sea Realm Will hoped more for Ning Qi to win, especially after perceiving that Ning Qi was of his kind, the World Will from his lower Inner World!
The opening in the barrier closed with a bang as Ning Qi entered.
Entering this most core territory, Ning Qi felt unmatched pressure engulfing him.
