Reward
Ning Qi was unable to use the power of a Domain Lord within the War Domain.
The will of the Mountain and Sea Realm stipulates that these domain lords can only use it within the Spirit Realm.
But to put it bluntly, the power of the Spirit Realm originates from the Mountain and Sea Realm, and where it is used is ultimately determined by the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm.
If the Vast Realm Lord on the other side can use the power of the Spirit Realm within the War Realm, then they're in big trouble.
Of course, the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm shouldn't be that foolish.
As the node transformed into a celestial star and settled above the war zone, the powerful will of the Mountain and Sea Realm gained an even greater advantage in this area.
However, simply transforming the nodes into celestial stars is not enough to ensure stability; a corresponding altar must also be built underground.
Only through the cooperation of heaven and earth can the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm completely suppress this area, preventing a counterattack from the cultivators of the Vast Realm.
The will of the Mountain and Sea Realm had already passed down the method for establishing the altar, so Ning Qi ordered his cultivators to set it up.
Immediately, a group of cultivators who were extremely skilled in the art of Formation stepped out from the Xuanzhen Domain army.
They first glanced at the stars overhead, and then chose a site based on the corresponding location below them.
Everyone gathered around the chosen spot, forming hand Method Formula, their bodies constantly emanating Spiritual Qi or chains of divine rules, which were then used to imprint the foundation of the altar on the ground.
Buzz!
Those watching felt as an incredibly complex and profound Formation appeared in their hands.
Then, they took out all sorts of heavenly materials and earthly treasures and began to build a magic array altar on the foundation.
Before long, a six-pointed star array emitted a white light. At its center, rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures were continuously piled up like bricks according to an extremely mysterious array arrangement.
After a while, a magnificent and perfectly preserved altar appeared on the spot.
At the top of the altar, there was a crystal jade the size of a head, with a misty aura flowing within it. This was the Earth Star, which corresponded to the Heavenly Star.
The instant the altar was completely repaired, a beam of starlight suddenly shot down vertically from the celestial star formed by the boundary node in the sky.
Starlight, like arrows, pierced the crystal jade at the top of the altar.
Immediately, the Crystal Jade began to absorb starlight from the sky, while the altar and the great formation below also exerted their power, continuously drawing energy from the earth's surface and injecting it into the Crystal Jade.
In an instant, the swirling Spiritual Qi within seemed to be fully activated, with the pure rising and the impure descending, causing the entire formation to tremble uncontrollably.
Every monk who built the altar was covered in white sweat and looked extremely tired.
Looking further into the crystal jade, the pure and turbid energies completely separated, transforming into two unrelated forces that hovered at the top and bottom.
Most cultivators did not understand profound Formation, but upon seeing the separation of the pure and turbid energies, a thought arose in their minds.
Could this be the energy of both the Boundary Sea and the Vast Realm?
They looked up at the sky, where it seemed as if much of the cloudiness had been drawn away; they looked down at the earth, which seemed much cleaner.
However, the energy between the two realms did not seem to have been completely suppressed, and it was still restless and agitated within the crystal jade.
The cultivators maintaining the altar now seem unable to suppress the energy gathering above it!
Ning Qi acted at the opportune moment.
He descended like an immortal, stepping onto the crystal jade.
Suddenly, everyone saw the pure and turbid energies that had been restless within the crystal jade instantly calm down.
They couldn't help but think to themselves, "As expected of the alliance leader!"
The cultivators who had set up the array around the altar immediately felt the pressure on their bodies disappear.
"Thank you, Alliance Leader!"
Ning Qi nodded slightly and calmly landed on the ground from the crystal jade.
Because of his kick, the pure and impure energies within the crystal jade were not only soothed, but also began to exchange.
Like two yin-yang fish, they continuously cycle within the crystal jade, forming a tai chi symbol.
Today, with both the Star Altar and the Earth Altar present, the energy of the nearby Boundary Sea and Vast Realm has been drawn into the Crystal Spirit Jade.
The will of the Mountain and Sea Realm will then be able to completely dominate this area, effectively making it a part of the Mountain and Sea Realm.
In that instant, the pressure that everyone had felt upon entering the war zone completely vanished, which also proved this point.
Their faces lit up with joy. They had captured a node in the War Realm so quickly; they wondered what reward the Will of the Mountain and Sea Realm would offer.
Let's set aside the rewards from the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm for now.
At this moment, Qin Minghao used a giant Law Power hand to present the spoils of war they had obtained after annihilating the cultivators of the Vast Realm to Ning Qi.
Everyone was staring at the mountain of resources, which contained everything imaginable.
The various heavenly materials and earthly treasures are mostly products of the Vast Realm, including many Law Treasure and Spirit Artifact, as well as pills used by cultivators of various realms, and naturally, Cultivation Method practiced by the members of the White Crane Immortal Sect.
Ning Qi casually wiped the pile of spoils into his storage space.
"The spoils look like a lot, but it's impossible to distribute them to everyone. I'll keep them for now, and I'll distribute them to you later, when we leave the war zone or if necessary!"
The crowd responded in unison, "We will leave the decision to our Alliance Leader."
Leaving aside the people from sects like Wuji Sword Sect, Bull Demon Upper Sect, and Tianchen Upper Sect, the people from other sects in Xuanzhen Domain alone have gained enough understanding of Ning Qi over the years.
Ning Qi is definitely not the kind of alliance leader who makes empty promises. He has already benefited various sects a lot, so they absolutely trust Ning Qi's words.
Just then, a gentle breeze swept over everyone.
Everyone's clothes swayed slightly, their hair was gently blown by the wind, and a familiar voice appeared in everyone's hearts.
"The Xuanzhen Domain has occupied a medium-sized node, rewarding you with ten medium-sized rule fragments. Based on the number of Haoran Realm cultivators you have killed, you will also receive twenty micro-sized rule fragments!"
Everyone knows that the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm has descended!
They looked around, but still couldn't find the true manifestation of the Mountain and Sea Realm's will, nor did they know how the promised reward from the Mountain and Sea Realm's will would be delivered.
Only Ning Qi seemed to sense something, looking in the direction they had come from, and faintly felt a surging, inexplicable power approaching.
It is formless and intangible, and cannot be seen with the naked eye. Even with the Primordial Spirit, its appearance cannot be discerned.
If Ning Qi's true form weren't a Realm Lord, knowing what the existence of a Realm's will was like, and if his reincarnated body weren't also a Domain Lord, he wouldn't have been able to keenly sense the existence of the Mountain and Sea Realm's will.
This was the first time he had come into such close contact with the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm. He could only say that the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm was truly extraordinary and far beyond what his True Martial could compare to.
Although Ning Qi could not see its form, he vaguely knew where the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm was, but it was not possible to fully perceive it at present!
Suddenly, the void resembled a flowing stream of water, and fish leaped out from within it.
Thirty fragments, radiating endless brilliance, bounced in front of Ning Qi and arranged in three rows.
The first row contains medium-sized rule fragments, and the last two rows contain micro-sized rule fragments.
Everyone stared intently at the fragments of rules transmitted by the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm, their eyes gleaming.
These fragments of rules range in size from the medium-sized ones to the tiny ones, which are only the size of a finger. The smallest ones in the middle are probably only the size of an apricot.
The two types of fragments not only differ in size, but also in the power they contain.
It is miniature, and its internal rules probably only number around ten.
The medium-sized ones have about thirty dishes.
Ning Qi couldn't help but compare it to the Rule Jade he had obtained in the Xuanzhen Secret Realm.
Regular jade is a product formed by the compression of two regions. It is extremely unstable, and most of it is polyhedral. The fewer colors, the more precious it is.
However, the rule fragments produced by the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm were different from the rule jade. They were of a much higher level in essence than the rule jade. They should be the product of the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm condensing the power of the realm.
Its properties are the opposite of regular jade; the more rules it contains, the more precious it is.
Whoever obtains it can absorb it comfortably without any worries, unlike the rule jade which has many restrictions.
Moreover, the rules within it are extremely pure in quality; to give an analogy, they are somewhere between the power of rules in the world and the Origin rules.
The Rule Jade is formed from ordinary rule power, while the rule fragments formed from the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm are closer to the Origin the rules.
Ning Qi still put them into his storage space, keeping only one in his hand to play with.
In his hand was a medium-sized fragment of a rule, about the size of a fist, faintly emitting various colored rays of light. Holding it in Ning Qi's hand felt like holding a small piece of the starry sky.
Ning Qi closed his eyes, feeling the power within. If a mortal could obtain just this piece, it could probably directly transform them from a mortal into a Void Dao Realm cultivator, allowing them to ascend to immortality in broad daylight without leaving any safety risks.
Ning Qi clenched his fist, and the fragment of the rule shattered even more completely, turning into a stream of dust that seeped into Ning Qi's body like water.
Ning Qi felt as if his body had been parched for a long time and was now receiving timely rain, with every part of him greedily absorbing the power of the fragments of rules.
In an instant, an extremely comfortable feeling spread throughout Ning Qi's entire body from the inside out.
It felt like a gentle young woman was massaging and kissing his entire body, inside and out!
Ning Qi remained unmoved, focusing his attention solely on the changes in his body.
At the late stage of the Integration Realm, he clearly felt that after swallowing this fragment of rules, he had moved one percent closer to the Perfection of the Integration Realm!
Even he was surprised by the powerful effect of the boost to his cultivation!
Doesn't that mean that with just a hundred fragments of rules, he could break through to the Perfection Integration Realm and become a true Five Elements Sword Master?
He still has nine medium-sized rule fragments and twenty micro-sized rule fragments. The combined energy of the twenty micro-sized rule fragments is barely comparable to that of a medium-sized rule fragment, so Ning Qi still has ten medium-sized rule fragments.
Once you swallow them, you'll be one-tenth of the way to the Perfection Integration Realm!
Ning Qi reopened his eyes, a faint smile on his face.
This war zone was indeed an opportunity for him!
Seeing that the alliance leader had fused the fragments of rules, the crowd showed no dissatisfaction; they had long held onto a single idea.
The stronger the alliance leader, the more they benefit, and the safer they will be!
Ning Qi suddenly took out another medium-sized fragment of rules, but this time he did not absorb it directly.
Instead, it activated the energy within, transforming it into a sheet of light sand that was then scattered towards the cultivators of the Xuanzhen Domain.
All the cultivators were bathed in the light sand, and no one was left out; everyone received Ning Qi's gift equally.
Whether they were at the Nascent Primordial Spirit Realm, the Void Dao Realm, or even the Integration Realm, all of them felt a slight increase in their cultivation level.
Some people on the verge of breaking through to the next level even did so on the spot!
Immediately, everyone felt the benefits of the rule fragments.
Ning Qi then said, "The effect of these rule fragments is extremely amazing. We should acquire more boundary nodes and cultivators from the Vast Realm next."
Everyone responded in unison, "Yes!"
Meanwhile, everyone is making calculations.
They just captured a medium-sized node, and the Mountain and Sea Realm bestowed upon them ten medium-sized rule fragments.
They killed so many cultivators from the Vast Realm, yet only gave them twenty miniature rule fragments.
A cultivator's life is truly as fragile as a dog's; only nodes offer real value!
Ning Qi was still thinking about another problem.
It seems that the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm always appears after a node is captured and immediately delivers the reward.
He cannot yet sense the true existence of the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm. However, as his cultivation level increases, he will definitely be able to fully perceive the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm later on.
Thus, Ning Qi had another goal to achieve within the war zone.
He did not forget his previous goal.
He brought up Shu Lingyu and Hao Qiuran, who had been knocked unconscious long ago, and used the Great Reversal of Souls Technique to completely drain them of everything they knew, then preserved their soul imprints.
Ning Qi used a newly created Soul-Unlocking Secret Technique to completely analyze the structure of the two people's soul imprints!
He already knew the coordinates of the Vast Realm, and now he could create a batch of fake soul imprints to reincarnate beings from the True Martial Realm there.
These tasks will be handled by the main body!
Within the Realm of True Martial.
Upon receiving the reincarnated being's will, Realm Lord Ning Qi immediately took action.
The battle between the Mountain and Sea Realm and the Vast Realm has already begun, and it's unclear when it will end.
Taking advantage of the fact that both realms' wills were drawn to the situation within the War Realm, Ning Qi prepared to immediately arrange for cultivators from the True Martial to be reborn into the Vast Realm.
At this moment, the defenses within the Vast Realm are similar to those within the Mountain and Sea Realm. The Mountain and Sea Realm has mobilized over 80% of its cultivators to participate in the battle, and the Vast Realm is naturally in a similar situation. Apart from the Dao Integration Realm cultivators of various immortal sects, the remaining cultivators are barely able to maintain the safety of each sect.
If not now, when?
The war in the spirit world will likely last for decades or even centuries. By then, the seeds he planted will once again become geniuses of various sects, directly becoming the pillars of the new generation of each sect.
If those at the Dao Integration Realm join the battle later, wouldn't everyone in the Mountain and Sea Realm and the Vast Realm be his people?
The thought of this clever substitution was incredibly exciting for Ning Qi.
After all, he wasn't trying to help the Mountain and Sea Realm win the war; he wanted to devour both Spirit Realms in one fell swoop!
Regardless of what happens then, let's get the cultivators from the True Martial reincarnated first.
The True Martial has grown many times over in size, and the number of new Spirit Root born within it cannot keep up with the speed of True Martial expansion!
It is a vast country with abundant resources, a small population, and inexhaustible resources, which are still growing rapidly.
The beings of the True Martial Realm are living the best life ever; they don't need to compete at all to obtain all the resources they need.
But no one became discouraged or lazy because of this.
On the contrary, because of the abundance of resources, they had no worries and could focus wholeheartedly on cultivation.
They knew that their future was bright and full of endless hope.
All of this was bestowed upon them by the Realm Lord Ning Qi.
Therefore, after the Realm Lord reappeared, he allowed them to reincarnate into the Vast Realm.
The cultivators of the True Martial immediately rushed to sign up, Ning Qi directly used his power as a Realm Lord to select a million people from among all living beings.
He originally wanted to get more, but to be on the safe side and avoid attracting the attention of the wills of both realms, he opted for this safe number.
Then, the leaves of the Enlightenment Tree unfurled, directly enveloping millions of living beings.
"You should all try your best to go to the immortal sects in the Vast Realm. Whether the True Martial can continue to survive in the future depends on you."
"Lord, please rest assured, we will definitely complete the mission!"
After the brief oath-taking ceremony before reincarnation, the leaves of the Enlightenment Realm trees closed up, plunging millions of living beings into a deep slumber.
Their will has already been reborn into the Vast Realm.
With Ning Qi's current strength, if he were to reincarnate again, he would be far stronger than before.
However, the Vast Realm is, after all, another spiritual realm, unlike the Mountain and Sea Realm, which is completely adjacent to the True Martial. The True Martial belongs to the Mountain and Sea Realm and can be considered a small world under the Mountain and Sea Realm.
Therefore, Ning Qi still had to put in a lot of effort to completely complete the reincarnation of millions of people.
Now, it's up to time.
Time will mature the reincarnated beings in both realms. With the blessing of the Enlightenment Tree and the experience of being reborn as humans, they will all become geniuses of the major immortal sects.
Time will also make the True Martial Realm stronger, and Ning Qi stronger!
With one side gaining and the other losing, the future looks promising.
War zone.
Ning Qi led the Xuanzhen Domain members away from the node and began searching for the other three teams from the White Crane Immortal Sect, as well as the remaining nodes.
Before long, Ning Qi used the White Crane Immortal Sect scouts he had previously captured to locate their team's position.
The team was very alert and, upon receiving Hao Qiuran's message, immediately contacted the other two teams.
Their initial plan was to rush to Shu Lingyu's side and save her if possible, but for safety reasons, they sent out scouts in advance.
But then they lost contact with the scouts, so they immediately ran away, deciding to regroup with the other two teams before making any further moves.
Unfortunately, Ning Qi reacted extremely quickly, preventing them from reuniting.
They activated the concealment array again, caught up with the team, and quickly defeated them, just as they had done with Shu Lingyu's team before.
However, once again, they crushed the communication Jade Slip.
It seems that those two teams from the White Crane Immortal Sect will not be alone.
Ning Qi didn't care.
He spent most of his time searching for the existence of nodes.
It's like searching blindly, like a headless fly – utterly aimless.
Therefore, Ning Qi began to observe the heavens and the earth thoroughly, using all the knowledge, techniques, and extraordinary comprehension he possessed, searching and preparing to create a technique that could clearly point out the location of the node.
The energy within this war zone is chaotic and mixed, but it is not without clues.
As long as one understands the power of the vast mountains, seas, and boundary Boundary Sea, and adds a place rich in Spiritual Qi, one can completely grasp the existence of the node.
A short while later, Ning Qi stopped, and everyone else stopped as well.
They looked at the alliance leader in confusion, only to find that Ning Qi had produced a large Spirit Stone in his hand.
Ning Qi formed a sword-finger gesture and continuously inscribed on it, causing Spirit Stone fragments to fly around. Gradually, a Law Artifact was born in Ning Qi's hand.
It is circular, covered by a crystal jade dome, inside which are intricate Formation engraved, and the panel is marked with famous directions.
At first glance, one can sense the hidden Dao Resonance within it; it is indeed a Compass.
The Compass needle was originally a high-grade spiritual sword with considerable spiritual power, which Ning Qi shrunk and transformed into the needle.
"Boy, could this be?" Sword Ancestor asked in surprise.
Ning Qi replied, "The Suolingchajipan can directly point out the location of the nearest node!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was greatly encouraged.
