Ning Qi reached out his hand and attempted to grasp it, only to find that the Bronze Tree couldn’t be moved either.
"Could it be sohow connected to the Immortal Coffin?"
Ning Qi’s gaze turned to the west side of the Immortal Coffin.
At roughly the sa distance, there was a mineral shaped like a small mountain.
Ning Qi still tried to move the mineral, but it was unsuccessful.
He had to approach it and realized that it was a mountain folded and shrunk by space techniques.
The mountain sparkled with faint lights, containing various minerals, none of which Ning Qi had seen before.
No, there was one he had seen before; one of the minerals had a material similar to the Mountain Ancestor’s storage ring.
"That should be Immortal Silver, and the others are at least of the sa grade, most likely celestial minerals from within the Immortal Realm..."
Ning Qi was a bit frustrated, as he couldn’t take the celestial minerals despite their presence.
If he could move them, he would be able to forge a set of Immortal Clothes and Immortal Sword with these celestial minerals!
Apart from these, there was nothing else in the entire space.
Bronze Divine Tree, Bronze Immortal Coffin, and the mountain of celestial minerals...
The three of them appeared exceptionally mysterious in this space.
Ning Qi closed his eyes, and his Spiritual Sense reappeared in the depths of his soul.
He arrived again at the place where the Mountain Ancestor was imprisoned.
The Mountain Ancestor sat cross-legged in the cage, no longer as arrogant and deranged as before.
He lifted his eyes and looked at Ning Qi.
Ning Qi asked directly, "What exactly is in the third space of your storage ring?"
Upon hearing this, the Mountain Ancestor, who had initially intended to ignore Ning Qi, changed his expression imdiately.
"You cracked my storage ring?"
After speaking, he realized that it was a pointless question.
Then he asked, "Did you see what was inside?"
Seeing his expression, Ning Qi had a sudden thought.
"What exactly is in there?"
The Mountain Ancestor suddenly laughed, his eyes flashing strangely.
"I don’t know what it is either."
Ning Qi squinted his eyes.
"If you won’t tell , I just tested it; the Immortal Coffin can devour immortal power. I’ll put your Immortal Body in there later!"
Hearing this, the Mountain Ancestor’s previously laughing face instantly turned to fear.
"No!"
"What’s really in there?" Ning Qi demanded again.
The Mountain Ancestor let out a breath.
Ning Qi used his Immortal Body as a threat, and although he was now a prisoner, separated from both his Immortal Soul and Immortal Body,
this threat was extrely effective against him.
"I don’t know specifically, there’s no record in the inheritance I received, but I have investigated it, and there seems to be sothing terrifying buried inside. Only by continuously nourishing it with immortal power can it break out of the coffin. Do you want to try?"
"Is that all?" Ning Qi eyed him critically.
The Mountain Ancestor waved his hand.
"If you don’t believe, then forget it."
Ning Qi watched his expression, understanding that in this soul’s depth, within the prison of the Grand Dao, the Mountain Ancestor couldn’t deceive him without being noticed.
Clearly, the Mountain Ancestor wasn’t lying; it seed he truly didn’t know what it was.
Ning Qi thought for a mont and said:
"You ntioned before that they wouldn’t let go. Who exactly are these ’they’ you ntioned?"
The Mountain Ancestor’s eyes flickered.
"Don’t think of trying to get away with it; you should be aware of the place since you retain your Immortal Soul. Any lies or deceit will not escape my notice."
The Mountain Ancestor looked deeply at Ning Qi.
Ning Qi’s threat naturally worked again.
The survival of the Mountain Ancestor now lay completely in Ning Qi’s hands.
Maybe it sounded exaggerated, but the prison of the Grand Dao indeed had the power to punish him.
He absolutely did not want to endure the lashes of the Dao’s thunder anymore.
The pain was unbearable even for his Immortal Soul.
The Mountain Ancestor even thought that being soone else’s prisoner wouldn’t be so painful.
After all, others might only punish him with immortal power.
But Ning Qi, this freak, this being similar to a demonic person, could wield the Infinite Evil Qi from the Sea of Realms.
For an Immortal, Infinite Evil Qi was utterly revolting and repulsive from the very soul.
Thus, the Mountain Ancestor increasingly realized his situation and saw no need to curse and fight Ning Qi anymore.
"I can tell you, but can you really spare my life?"
Ning Qi’s gaze was as sharp as a blade, overlooking the Mountain Ancestor within the cage.
"It depends on the value of your information!"
The Mountain Ancestor seed to relax a bit.
Although he’s committed all kinds of evil, he still recognizes Ning Qi’s character from what he’s seen along the way.
So he wasn’t worried that Ning Qi would go back on his word or betray him.
Then, the Mountain Ancestor began to speak slowly.
"Do you think that after becoming an Immortal, things would beco easy?"
"What hidden secrets are there?" Ning Qi asked again.
This ti, the Mountain Ancestor confessed completely.
"Becoming an Immortal is not as simple as you imagine, especially since I am the heir of Buzhou Mountain... I have to deal with the troubles that co with this identity. One of the troubles I ntioned is precisely because of this!"
"One of the troubles?"
The Mountain Ancestor licked his lips, even though he was currently surviving in Immortal Spirit form.
"That’s right, how sacred and grand was Buzhou Mountain in the past. Do you think I acquired the complete legacy of Buzhou Mountain?"
Ning Qi imdiately thought of the remnant of Buzhou Mountain.
If it’s a remnant, there must be other remnants. Otherwise, why call it a remnant?
The Mountain Ancestor continued:
"After acquiring the legacy, I knew that once I achieved Immortal status and summoned the remnant of Buzhou Mountain, it would attract others who have acquired the other legacies of Buzhou Mountain."
"Before I beca an Immortal, I dared not summon the remnant of Buzhou Mountain in advance precisely because of this reason."
Ning Qi inquired, "Are you saying that by summoning the remnant of Buzhou Mountain, you’ve likely attracted enemies?"
The Mountain Ancestor chuckled.
"Of course, that is Buzhou Mountain, one of the most powerful forces under the Immortal Realm in the past. Even if it shattered into scattered remnants across the Sea of Realms, as long as there’s soone alive within the force or soone who has obtained its legacy, they will definitely trace it!"
Upon hearing this, Ning Qi frowned slightly.
"That’s only one of the enemies, there’s another formidable enemy waiting for you!"
The Mountain Ancestor gazed at Ning Qi with a look of pity.
"Is it the Immortal Alliance you ntioned?"
The Mountain Ancestor sneered, "It seems you heard my curses."
"You’ve integrated Infinite Evil Qi; I don’t know why you can still retain your will and haven’t transford into a Human-Demon! But all immortals in the Immortal Realm are tasked with killing twisted creatures within the Sea of Realms, which also includes Human-Demons driven by Infinite Evil Qi!"
"Human-Demon?"
Ning Qi repeated the words.
This was the second ti he heard this term from the Mountain Ancestor.
"My junior sister forcibly fused with the energy of the Sea of Realms, which nearly cut off her Immortal path, but at least she won’t be regarded as a Human-Demon."
"And you, Ning Qi, hehe, once Infinite Evil Qi rges within your body, it can never be removed, and as long as soone perceives the existence of evil qi, you will surely be deed a Human-Demon, facing the pursuit of all cultivators in the Immortal Realm; you’ve ruined your Immortal path yourself!"
"Hehe, if I were you, I would definitely no longer hope for immortality, only to hide in a remote area of the Sea of Realms for life."
"Otherwise, once you’re discovered by Immortals, they will send your information to the Immortal Alliance, and the entire Immortal Realm will see you as an enemy, and your future is destined to be all enemies, hehe!"
The Mountain Ancestor’s Immortal Spirit laughed triumphantly but also sadly.
He certainly wasn’t feeling sad for Ning Qi, but rather for himself.
He had clearly beco an Immortal but was defeated by Ning Qi. How unwilling he must feel!
The Mountain Ancestor’s gaze constantly watched Ning Qi’s expression.
He wanted to see if Ning Qi could remain so calm after hearing the information he provided.
Ahead, Ning Qi hovered outside the cage.
Regarding the information the Mountain Ancestor provided, Ning Qi’s brows seed to remain furrowed.
The next mont, Ning Qi raised his hand and rubbed his brow, instantly smoothing it out.
"No matter how many enemies co, I’m waiting! As for being all enemies, so what, do you think I’m afraid?"
Ning Qi said solemnly.
His eyes shone like stars, hiding confidence to challenge everything.
A strong person won’t be afraid of enemies, only thinking about ways to defeat them, hence why a strong person becos even stronger.
"You..."
The Mountain Ancestor looked at the spirited Ning Qi, unable to stop a hint of surprise from rising in his heart.
Just ntioning those enemies made him feel imnsely daunting even after becoming an Immortal, to the point where it was hard to find a way out.
But Ning Qi, this guy, possesses astonishing qualities, confronting difficulties and going against the norm.
Perhaps, this is why he lost to Ning Qi.
A thought crossed the Mountain Ancestor’s mind: what truly defines a strong person?
Sacrificing all beings ruthlessly and following the law of the jungle defines strength?
Or is it soone like Ning Qi?
