Chapter 1041: Chapter 451: Thank You, Immortal Body Teacher
The Saint Ancestor and Sea Ancestor were momentarily unable to shift their perspective
Ning Qi chuckled and said
The Saint Ancestor and Sea Ancestor had truly only started interacting with Ning Qi as friends over these past three days.
They witnessed Ning Qi’s various deeds.
Witnessed how Ning Qi became stronger step by step, until he could slay the Mountain Ancestor who had become immortal...
Witnessed how Ning Qi treated all beings equally, treating acquaintances as friends...
Witnessed how Ning Qi aided all beings in cultivation, without distinguishing between cultivators of the two realms, even going so far as to make the cultivation technique accessible to everyone.
The two believed they understood Ning Qi well enough.
And because they witnessed all this, the Saint Ancestor and Sea Ancestor felt confident staying in Ning Qi’s True Martial Spirit Realm, even agreeing to be conferred titles by Ning Qi, willing to act as the Saint Venerable and Sea Venerable of the True Martial Spirit Realm.
But now, while discussing the path to immortality around the Mountain Ancestor’s Immortal Body, Ning Qi’s few consecutive words struck their minds like a drum in the morning and evening.
They were once the most outstanding geniuses in the Spirit Realm; otherwise, they wouldn’t have cultivated to this level.
But with just a few casual words, Ning Qi made them doubt whether their minds were like wooden fish.
If not, why hadn’t they ever thought of what Ning Qi said? Not even daring to imagine it.
Listen, is this even human speech?
Ning Qi said to abandon the traditional safest path to immortality and carve out a new path!
Is this difficulty even achievable for them?
Throughout generations, cultivators of immortality followed the traditional path to become immortals. Is it that they didn’t want to find their own immortal path?
Certainly not; it’s that through the explorations of people millions of years ago, only by following the paths of the past is it the safest and most secure.
Ning Qi said to smash open the Immortal Door and see if he could pull someone out from inside.
The Saint Ancestor and Sea Ancestor couldn’t help but admire his uniqueness.
It’s like they were scholars who, after studying bitterly for years, hoped to enter the revered Imperial Academy and get accepted.
But Ning Qi never thought of taking the traditional route, letting others accept him, or letting others choose him.
Instead, he planned to first blow open the gates of the Imperial Academy to see who was controlling everything behind it.
This... one can’t help but say it’s truly exciting!
Just the thought of it made the Saint Ancestor and Sea Ancestor’s long-dormant hearts thump with excitement.
As for the Mountain Ancestor’s Immortal Body, Ning Qi told them to use it freely, showing no respect for an immortal.
What Ning Qi said didn’t sound good, but after some careful consideration, it was indeed the case.
"So what if one is immortal? If immortals don’t act human, they’re not even as good as humans!"
"If you both can’t see through this and still think immortals should be lofty, then you’ve already lost from the start!"
The Saint Ancestor and Sea Ancestor reflected on their own thoughts, and they had to admit that they indeed had too many beautiful fantasies about immortals, considering themselves inferior to them.
Even for someone as evil as the Mountain Ancestor, who sacrificed all beings, they revered him as a god once he became immortal.
Thinking of this, the Saint Ancestor couldn’t help but bow to Ning Qi.
"I always liked to preach to others, but now listening to the words of the Realm Venerable, I feel like my ignorance has been enlightened, like being doused with wisdom."
The Sea Ancestor also bowed to Ning Qi.
"I’ve been enlightened!"
Ning Qi nodded slightly and pointed at the Mountain Ancestor’s Immortal Body in the Spirit Jade Coffin.
"We are friends, no need for formalities, now we should study this Immortal Body."
The two smiled.
The Saint Ancestor said, "Sure, but how should we study it?"
Ning Qi replied, "You both can try exploring first."
Upon hearing this, the two did not decline.
The Saint Ancestor and Sea Ancestor exchanged a glance, and the Sea Ancestor made a gesture of invitation.
"You go first!"
The Saint Ancestor didn’t refuse and took the initiative to walk to the Spirit Jade Coffin.
He stretched out his hand, pressing on the flawless Immortal Body of the Mountain Ancestor.
Immediately, a burst of immortal radiance erupted, actually repelling his hand.
"Hmm? The immortal soul is gone, yet it can still produce power to automatically protect the body!"
The Saint Ancestor was slightly surprised and then gathered a few strands of Immortal Dao Aura in his hands.
The Immortal Dao Aura enveloped his hands, turning them into a golden, seemingly gold-cast glory.
Strangely, after sensing the Saint Ancestor’s Immortal Dao Aura, the Immortal Body no longer rejected him.
"Immortals do not allow mortal cultivators to invade!"
The Saint Ancestor sighed in relief and began exploring the Mountain Ancestor’s Immortal Body.
He pressed here and there, like a coroner in a mortal yamen, investigating the cause of death.
Suddenly, his fingertip burst out with a sharp light, brushing across the Mountain Ancestor’s arm.
This finger strike from the Saint Ancestor was enough to kill a Harmonization cultivator.
However, it left only a faint mark on the Mountain Ancestor’s arm, without even breaking the skin.
The Saint Ancestor said in a dejected tone:
"The Immortal Body is indestructible; without power of the same level, it’s impossible to harm it. I haven’t become immortal, so I can’t break its automatic defense."
The Sea Ancestor beside him displayed a hint of relief on her stunning face.
Fortunately, Ning Qi had sent them away earlier; otherwise, if the Mountain Ancestor had intended to eliminate them first, they would have had no power to resist.
After checking the state of the Immortal Body, the Saint Ancestor continued perceiving the signs of immortal power operating within the Immortal Body.
He exclaimed with joy, "Although this guy is dead, the energy operating trajectory inside the Immortal Body remains; we can fully replicate his cultivation technique, which is the legendary cultivation method of Buzhou Mountain!"
Ning Qi remarked at the right moment, "There’s no need for such trouble; I have obtained the Buzhou Mountain remnant body summoned from the depths of the Sea of Realms, which contains a large amount of cultivation technique. If you wish to learn, you can directly observe inside."
After speaking, he took out the Buzhou Mountain remnant body from the Storage Space and placed it aside.
