Full level of enlightenment: I achieved Daozu by ascending to the lower realm

"Okay, I also feel that there is something wrong with this bronze mirror."

Yao Ling listened to his words and echoed them.

His brows furrowed, clearly indicating that he had long harbored resentment towards the bronze mirror.

Ning Qi then searched around and eventually found a deserted place where he carved out a cave dwelling.

Then we went straight into the cave.

He then opened his Sumeru Space and took out the bronze mirror after entering.

Looking at the bronze mirror in front of him, Ning Qi frowned, and finally placed the bronze mirror directly in front of him.

He then reminded Yao Ling, "Be careful, my soul is going in to investigate. If I'm in the real world and there's no movement for more than two hours..."

"Just use my Chaos Sword to cut this bronze mirror in two!"

"Understood, Master. You may go in now!"

Yao Ling nodded, then turned his attention to the Chaos Sword beside him.

"it is good!"

Ning Qi nodded, then sat cross-legged, concentrated his divine sense, and then directly merged it into his bronze mirror.

"call!"

After a gust of wind, Ning Qi was completely inside the bronze mirror.

To his surprise, when he entered the bronze mirror, it wasn't just a bronze wall as he had imagined.

Everywhere here are clear mountains and green waters, birds singing and flowers blooming.

Just like the real world, there was no sense of presence; it was a world inside a bronze mirror.

Ning Qi looked around at the surroundings, then turned his attention to what was ahead.

Ahead, he suddenly noticed fluctuations in spiritual energy.

"Here?"

After focusing his attention ahead, Ning Qi suddenly leaped into the air.

Then it flew straight ahead.

Throughout the journey, Ning Qi continuously extended his divine sense and began exploring ahead.

But what puzzled him was that the area he could explore here was limited.

It's only a few hundred meters in radius, and it can't compare to the outside world at all.

When he is in the outside world, he can use his divine sense to explore a distance of at least several thousand feet.

"Divine senses are restricted here."

Ning Qi sighed, then turned his attention back to what was ahead.

Ahead, we can already see a flashing light.

This looks like the main hall of a sect, and this is indeed the dome of the sect's main hall.

Ning Qi was puzzled, but he still sped off towards this place.

Only after he got closer did he realize what kind of place he was.

It turns out he was right; this place number 4 is indeed a sect.

However, it had long since fallen into disrepair, and the main hall here was the only building in this sect that was still relatively intact.

Looking ahead, one is startled to see that the area has been cleaved in two by the aura of a sword.

With this sword energy crisscrossing the land, the ravine was cleaved open for thousands of feet, with a depth of hundreds of feet.

"Who is this person, possessing such strength?"

"This... is at least at the level of a Celestial Immortal. If it were me, I definitely couldn't achieve such destructive power!"

Looking at the situation before him, Ning Qi muttered to himself, "Then, when will I be able to reach this level of strength?"

He thought to himself, then leaped into the air and quickly arrived above the mountain gate to check on the situation.

There are wrecks everywhere, some belonging to mythical beasts, others to humans.

Without exception, they were all killed in this final battle.

Among them were some clothes that were different from those worn by the disciples here.

They were clearly their enemies; all of these people were dead.

So, it was clear that neither side had an easy time in that battle, but in the end, they still lost.

"They probably lost because of the destructive power of that one sword strike."

Ning Qi looked at everything before him, and finally focused his attention back on the sword energy in front of him: "If this were in the Boundary Sea, this sword could probably cut through the Blackwater region of the Boundary Sea directly."

He glanced at the sword energy, then came to his senses and continued forward.

Then, after searching for a while, they finally arrived at the main hall here.

Above the square, there was another figure standing.

Unfortunately, it's already just bones, but even so, it still stands tall here.

Its ability to stand firm for so many years caught Ning Qi's attention.

After he arrived, he looked at the skeleton again.

Even from these withered bones, one can still feel the desolation of those who died and vanished.

After glancing at him, Ning Qi made no move to make a move, instead focusing his attention on the main hall in front of him.

He turned around and went into the main hall, which was no longer as magnificent as it once was.

However, the magnificent architecture and luxurious layout still reflect the prosperity of this place in its heyday.

Further ahead, there was a chair.

After he walked up, he looked at the chair in front of him and reached out to touch it.

It was covered in a layer of dust.

"What a pity."

Ning Qi looked around and then continued, "So, where did the people I let in go?"

"It couldn't have been swallowed up by someone here, could it?"

After muttering to himself, he left the main hall again.

Then they walked towards the back of the mountain gate.

Everything here gave him a cold feeling, but he did not back down. Instead, he focused his attention on the back mountain.

After descending the mountain, he arrived at the back of the mountain, where he saw many corpses.

The bodies here are all well-preserved; after so many years, there is still no sign of decay.

"What a pity, these are all experts with the strength of True Immortals."

"He died just like that."

Ning Qi sighed and focused his attention ahead.

Ahead of him was a thatched hut, from which ripples of energy attracted Ning Qi's attention.

So they headed straight there.

After he stepped forward, he pushed open the door that had been sealed for many years and looked inside.

The place is clean and tidy, as if someone lives here.

"Stop hiding, come out."

After Ning Qi came out of here, he looked around and then said in a deep voice.

However, after he said that, nothing happened here.

It's as if he misheard.

"Humph."

Ning Qi snorted coldly, then turned his attention back to the area in front of him: "They've been following me ever since I came in."

"Do you really think I'm too weak to detect your presence?"

"If that's the case, then I won't hold back."

"call!"

After he finished speaking, a sudden gust of wind erupted from the area.

Then, a figure slowly emerged from the strong wind.

After appearing, the figure let out a long sigh.

"You still managed to find out."

The man smiled helplessly, then continued, "But do you think this will do anything to me?"

"I just want to ask you one question: Did you kill the person I let in, or what happened to him?"

Ning Qi looked at the man and asked in a deep voice.

“I devoured them.” “These vibrant lives are a great tonic for me.”

"You're going to kill them anyway, so you might as well give them to me!"

Upon hearing Ning Qi's words, the man smiled and said, "I will repay you when I regain my strength."

"Oh? In that case, I should thank you instead."

Ning Qi smiled and then continued, "Then, who are you?"

"I am the sect leader here, but unfortunately, times have changed."

The man sighed and then said, "The third largest family in the Immortal Realm, the Shi family, Shi Xiaokun."

"Oh? What's the deal with this bronze mirror?"

Ning Qi looked at the person and asked seriously.

"The bronze mirror is the ancestral gate of our entire family, and it has been forcibly sealed here."

Shi Xiaokun looked at Ning Qi and then continued, "Back then, after we were wiped out here, we were sealed here by the demons."

"The goal was to conceal the fact that we were wiped out, and then continue to launch surprise attacks on other families."

"Oh, so they succeeded."

Ning Qi immediately became interested.

It's rare to encounter someone from tens of thousands of years ago, so we should ask them for clarification.

"No, Di Xi stopped it."

"My remaining soul has gone to deliver the message to him."

Shi Xiaokun shook his head, then sighed, "I never thought that after so many years, there would still be people who could enter and not be fooled by my illusions."

"Then, if I'm not mistaken, you are Emperor Xi's successor."

"Only the power of his bloodline can resist my illusion."

"Not bad!"

Ning Qi readily admitted it.

Only then did he realize that all of this had been preordained long ago.

Oh, I see.

"Oh? That old guy is still alive?"

Upon hearing his confirmation, Shi Xiaokun couldn't help but ask curiously as well.

"I don't know, I've only seen his clone."

Ning Qi shook his head, then continued, "As for whether he is alive or not, we'll have to find out the answer elsewhere."

"He should still be alive. There are people in the world stronger than him, whether they are demons or demons from the Boundary Sea."

"I can't even count two people. This guy is very cautious and can't be in two places at once."

"His clones are reincarnated on their own, and nobody knows where he is."

Shi Xiaokun looked into the distance: "Old man, you actually took in a successor, that's really rare."

"Let's put his business aside for now, what's wrong with you?"

"The people I let in all had questions to ask, and a few were there to help their friends."

"You've devoured all of them, what am I supposed to do now?"

Ning Qi looked at him and said unhappily.

"Then you can tell me in advance."

Shi Xiaokun looked at Ning Qi: "If you catch any villains, don't kill them directly, bring them in for me to devour."

"Once I've devoured enough people, I can reassemble my body."

"Aren't you a member of the Immortal Clan? Why are you doing things that only members of the Demon Clan would do?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Qi immediately became interested and looked at him curiously, asking a question.

"Because I have obtained the demon race's cultivation techniques."

"I can cultivate both immortal and magical power simultaneously!"

"Immortal power cannot reshape the physical body; only demons can do it!"

Shi Xiaokun's expression turned serious: "If you need it, I can give you the cultivation technique; let's exchange it!"

"Bring the person in here. If I ever regain my peak strength, I will definitely repay you."

"Bad people...would twisted monsters work, or rather, demons?"

Ning Qi listened to his words and couldn't help but ask curiously.

If that's the case, then it will be useful if we go to the Border Sea Battlefield.

Then we can capture all these people and devour them.

If he can become stronger by absorbing the power, he will become a major force in the True Martial Spirit Realm in the future.

With a patriarch of the immortal clan presiding over the place, even people from the immortal realm have to treat him with utmost respect.

"Yes, this is actually very nourishing. It would be best to find someone like this."

Upon hearing Ning Qi's words, Shi Xiaokun clapped his hands excitedly: "Can you find it?"

"Of course."

Ning Qi nodded.

"So, aren't you afraid of being corrupted by them?"

Shi Xiaokun paused for a moment, then continued, "You can practice my cultivation technique, so you won't have to worry about being corrupted by them."

"unnecessary."

Ning Qi smiled and then continued, "Because we are kindred spirits."

As he spoke, he began to circulate both the immortal and demonic powers within his body.

"call!"

As soon as he uttered those words, his aura suddenly surged, and then it burst forth uncontrollably.

The power of immortals and demons surged and swirled around him simultaneously.

Shi Xiaokun stared at Ning Qi's expression, his eyes wide with disbelief.

"How about it."

Ning Qi smiled and then asked.

"So that's why Di Xi took a liking to you! You have such talent!"

Shi Xiaokun then realized what was going on: "That old man, I think he did it on purpose."

I have some questions for you!

Ning Qi changed the subject and continued, "Do you know about Buzhou Mountain? How was it shattered, and how can we find its remains?"

"Mount Buzhou? Finding its remains depends on fate."

"It's very difficult to find without stimulating him."

After hearing his words, Shi Xiaokun said seriously, "I don't know either. It depends on its original owner."

"If you are his successor, you can sense it."

"I am the inheritor of Buzhou Mountain, but I do not yet have the ability to sense the remnants of Buzhou Mountain."

Ning Qi sighed and then said, "I wonder if you have any ideas?"

"No, this is not something we can access."

Shi Xiaokun shook his head: "But it's not bad that you have my bronze mirror. It can be used as a Sumeru space."

"You can hide here if you encounter danger."

"The bronze mirror is still outside; wouldn't it be easy for someone to find it?"

Ning Qi thought for a moment and then asked in return.

"Why don't you just integrate the bronze mirror into your Sumeru space?"

Shi Xiaokun said seriously, "In this way, no one will be able to find it anymore."

"Hey, are you trying to lure me in?"

Ning Qi suddenly realized something and looked at him warily.

"Impossible, we're in the same boat."

Shi Xiaokun quickly waved his hand.

"So, how do you prove it?"

Ning Qi said in a deep voice. (End of this chapter)
