A Talk

Ning Qi turned around and said to everyone, "The army from Fuyou Domain is here. Get ready."

Everyone was startled upon hearing this and immediately formed a battle formation to await.

Sword Ancestor frowned slightly. The newcomers were not enemies, but an army from the neighboring Fuyou Domain. What was their purpose in coming here?

The Bee Queen naturally heard Ning Qi's words as well. She blinked her beautiful eyes, hesitating whether to delay and wait for the army he mentioned to arrive before maneuvering around it.

She seized the key to this place, giving her complete control over both armies.

After all, although she couldn't beat Ning Qi, it seemed that no one present could defeat her in a short time.

Just as Ning Qi was leading the Xuanzhen Domain army in battle against the Vermilion Bird Immortal Sect and the Bee Demon Swarm.

A hundred miles away from them, a large army was rapidly approaching their node.

At the head of the crowd was a female cultivator, dressed in silver female battle armor, exuding an air of confidence and prowess that rivaled any man.

Beside her, only one male cultivator would occasionally exchange a few words with her; the others remained silent.

Sikong Lan from the Qingxuan Immortal Sect led the way, saying, "Senior Sister Qi, we're almost at the point I mentioned. We must be fully prepared."

Qi Keqing asked, "All the cultivators from the Fuyou Domain who participated in this battle have gathered here and are lined up in a combined attack formation. Is there anything else we need to prepare?"

"This..."

Sikong Lan had only uttered a platitude, never expecting Qi Keqing to take it so seriously.

It's always good to be prepared.

Qi Keqing replied, "Only by knowing ourselves and our enemy, and by understanding both, can we continue to make adjustments."

After Sikong Lan dispersed his Commander cultivators and integrated them into the Yaoguang Immortal Sect's army, the Fuyao Domain was able to completely unify the cultivators of the domain, all of whom were now under Qi Keqing's Commander.

Afterwards, Sikong Lan mentioned a node that was being captured by the army of cultivators from the Haoran Realm, and the two armies quickly headed there after regrouping.

As they traveled, Sikong Lan gradually came to understand Qi Keqing's personality.

Serious, confident, bold, possesses leadership qualities, and is trusted by many...

It must be said that Qi Keqing was indeed quite capable.

With such a person Commander the army of the Fuyou Domain, Sikong Lan suddenly wondered if it was really the right thing to do to let the cultivators under the Qingxuan Immortal Sect join them.

But Sikong Lan admitted one thing: these kinds of people are easier to manipulate.

Before long, their army reached within a hundred miles of the node, and their spiritual senses were able to discern the situation at that node.

Sikong Lan pointed ahead and said, "Senior Sister Qi, the node can be sensed within a hundred miles in that direction."

Qi Keqing nodded.

The two then released their spiritual senses.

As soon as it was released, Sikong Lan said, "This is bad, the fighting over there has intensified, Senior Sister Qi, we have to hurry."

Upon hearing this, Qi Keqing immediately ordered the army behind her, "Leave ten Nascent Soul Realm cultivators to lead the main force and catch up quickly; the rest of the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, follow me first!"

"Yes!"

Qi Keqing had already reorganized the army and rehearsed how to deal with various situations.

Even the newly integrated Qingxuan Immortal Sect army, after being scattered, reacted under the command of the captains who Commander the various formations within the army.

The entire army is like a machine with various pre-programmed procedures, capable of adapting to changing circumstances.

Therefore, seventy-nine Nascent Soul Realm cultivators immediately flew out from under her command, rushing towards the node with Qi Keqing and Sikong Lan.

As they flew, the eighty-one people continued to release their spiritual senses to explore the situation at the nodes on the edge of the hundred-mile border.

From the moment they discovered it until they sent out a cultivator alone, the battle situation at that node changed rapidly within just a few seconds of that order being given.

At first, they perceived towering flames as a great sun rising, illuminating the entire void.

Inside, the auras of cultivators and Demon Beast surged, clearly indicating that the battle had reached its peak.

Immediately, a divine wind howled from the center, blowing the condensed flames outwards in the opposite direction.

The auras of the cultivators and Demon Beast dimmed instantly.

Immediately afterwards, a black and red flame descended abruptly into the center like a meteorite or comet.

The Demon Beast aura at the center of the node was almost completely annihilated.

Sikong Lan's expression changed, and while flying, he said to Qi Keqing beside him:

"Something's not right, Senior Sister Qi. It seems like there's a third party involved."

Qi Keqing naturally sensed it.

The black and red flame that suddenly appeared in the center was clearly the work of a third party.

They had only run two miles, but their spiritual senses had already moved forward two kilometers, allowing them to see some specific details at the limits of their spiritual senses.

After the black and red flames descended, a large army quietly appeared at the outer edge of the battleground.

Qi Keqing and the others immediately realized that the enemy had surrounded the Haoran Realm cultivators and the Boundary Sea Demon Beast at the center of the battle.

Moreover, the fact that the enemy appeared at such close range without being detected by the cultivators of the Vast Realm and the Demon Beast of the Boundary Sea clearly indicates that this newly appeared army possesses a terrifying concealment array.

Qi Keqing flew even faster, and at the same time she transmitted her voice:

"Have you identified which faction that army belongs to?"

The other Nascent Soul cultivators behind her shook their heads, indicating that they had not seen anyone from this army.

Even Sikong Lan couldn't tell for the time being.

He never imagined that the army was led by Ning Qi, who had killed four Venerables of their Qingxuan Immortal Sect.

Firstly, because Ning Qi has not yet appeared.

Secondly, because the Xuanzhen Domain has only recently reappeared.

In Sikong Lan's understanding, the Xuanzhen Domain was merely a product of the recent merging of the Southern Zhen Domain and the Northern Xuan Domain, and it did not even contain any immortal sects.

The Xuanzhen Domain army is definitely the weakest force in this war zone!

The army ahead, capable of deceiving both the cultivators of the Vast Realm and the Demon Beast of the Boundary Sea, possessing such audacity to devour two forces simultaneously, could hardly possibly be the army of the Profound True Domain.

Sikong Lan's mind raced, and after a moment's thought, he said:

"Although I don't know which faction that army belongs to, they must be cultivators from my Mountain and Sea Realm!"

Sikong Lan's words were better than nothing, leading to a somewhat awkward silence.

Nonsense, the only force capable of simultaneously targeting both cultivators from the Vast Realm and the Demon Beast of the Boundary Sea is naturally the cultivators from the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Qi Keqing asked in confusion, "Besides our Fuyou Domain, I wonder which other spiritual domains from the Mountain and Sea Realm have also entered this war zone?"

Sikong Lan continued, "Our Fuyou Domain is located in the southeast of the Mountain and Sea Realm. Each war domain absorbs cultivators from the same spiritual domain. Therefore, I speculate that several spiritual domains surrounding the Fuyou Domain may have entered this war domain."

He finally said something that was somewhat useful.

Qi Keqing murmured, "Among the spiritual domains bordering the Fuyou Domain, to the east lies the newly reappeared Xuanzhen Domain, to the west is the Langya Domain, to the north is the Tai'a Domain, and to the south is the Penglai Domain. I wonder which domain the cultivators ahead belong to?"

Sikong Lan said, "It's definitely not the Xuanzhen Domain!"

His eyes were fixed ahead, and with his combined strength, he could already see a glimpse of the location of the node.

"No matter who it is, as long as they haven't captured that node, we still have a chance."

Qi Keqing nodded slightly, which was considered as agreement.

They continued to fly forward at an accelerated pace. Although they exchanged a few words in their minds, not much time had passed, and they had already covered a distance of five miles.

Just then, the situation at the front changed again.

They sensed that the newly emerged army was launching endless ice attacks mixed with storms, assaulting the two forces at the center.

This round of attacks resulted in the loss of half of the remaining cultivators from the Vast Realm and the Demon Beast from the Boundary Sea.

Qi Keqing and the other eighty-one Nascent Soul cultivators had slightly somber expressions.

This newly emerged army's attacks were extremely sharp, targeting the weaknesses of both sides.

They ran another five miles.

A massive, towering wave crashed down on the Battlefield.

The Spiritual Qi within it had dwindled to only the strongest.

Then, the war changed again, with terrifying lightning power crisscrossing and merging into the waters formed by giant waves.

Even though they were hundreds of miles apart, Qi Keqing and the others could hear the rumbling thunder.

Their spiritual senses detected that the Life Essence of the two forces at the center had almost disappeared.

Now, they are still eighty miles away from that node.

Their forward-flying figures paused slightly.

But seeing that Qi Keqing, who was leading the way, was still speeding up, he immediately followed.

Someone couldn't contain themselves and asked, "Senior Sister Qi, it seems the enemy has eliminated all the enemies at that node. Should we still go?"

Qi Keqing replied, "As long as the other side hasn't built an altar yet, we still have a chance."

Upon hearing this, many people were taken aback.

The army ahead was also composed of cultivators from the Mountain and Sea Realm. If they continued to approach after the enemy had eliminated the cultivators from the Vast Realm and the Demon Beast of the Boundary Sea, wouldn't that raise suspicions of them robbing cultivators from their own realm?

Although this is nothing in the world of cultivators, the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm has made it clear that cultivators of the Mountain and Sea Realm must not kill each other.

Qi Keqing naturally saw through their thoughts and said:

"Don't worry, I'm just suggesting a possibility. Once we arrive, we don't necessarily have to compete with them for the nodes; even just meeting them would be good."

Upon hearing this, the Nascent Soul cultivators following behind him finally felt relieved.

In their eyes, the cultivators from the Mountain and Sea Realm ahead were terrifyingly powerful.

Whether by concealing their abilities or by launching several targeted attacks, they seized a key point that even the Azure Profound Immortal Sect had previously dared not contest.

It would be unwise for either side to become enemies.

Just then, they sensed a terrifying Sword-Ray descending.

A terrifying Demon Beast appeared on that Battlefield.

Meanwhile, it seemed that the leader of the enemy army had appeared and was engaged in a fierce battle with the Demon Beast.

All of their spiritual senses were focused on the cultivator who was fighting the Demon Beast.

Sikong Lan's flying figure froze, his eyes widened in disbelief, and his heart trembled violently.

"Impossible, how could it be him?"

Even though he was roaring in his heart, the subtle reactions in his body did not escape the notice of Qi Keqing, who was not far away.

I wonder if Qi Keqing has been keeping an eye on him all along?

All that could be heard was Qi Keqing saying, "Junior Brother Sikong, you seem to recognize the person opposite you?"

Sikong Lan's expression changed slightly, her eyes darting around as she mentally organized her thoughts.

Only after recognizing Ning Qi did he realize that the army ahead consisted of cultivators from the Xuanzhen Domain.

This is just too terrifying!

The last time their Qingxuan Immortal Sect interfered in the affairs of the sects in the Southern True Domain, at that time, neither the Southern True Domain nor the Northern Xuan Domain had particularly strong sects.

After all, both the Feathered Ascension Sect and the Heavenly Birth Sect, two top-tier sects, had sent people to their Azure Profound Immortal Sect seeking assistance.

Afterwards Ning Qi killed four Nascent Soul Venerables from their Qingxuan Immortal Sect. Old Ancestor Sikong originally intended to cross domains to eliminate them, but was driven back by a guy named Zhan Xuan Shangjun.

As a result, their Qingxuan Immortal Sect never interfered in the affairs of the Xuanzhen Domain again.

Only a few decades passed between then and the start of the Spirit World War.

With the reappearance of the Xuanzhen Domain, they anticipated that Ning Qi would surely unify the Xuanzhen Domain.

However, the overall quality of cultivators in the Xuanzhen Domain is far inferior to that of their Qingxuan Immortal Sect.

After entering the War Realm, Sikong Lan did not intend to fight Ning Qi one-on-one. Instead, she planned to use someone else to kill him and help the ancestor vent his anger.

In his mind, the strength of the Xuanzhen Domain army was definitely inferior to that of the army led by their Qingxuan Immortal Sect.

But what happened next completely overturned Sikong Lan's understanding.

Unexpectedly, the very point that even their Qingxuan Immortal Sect dared not take, which they only dared to approach with the help of the Yaoguang Immortal Sect, was about to be captured by Ning Qi Qi's army!

How could Sikong Lan not be shocked?

He hadn't forgotten the matter of using someone else to do the dirty work. Faced with Qi Keqing's question, Sikong Lan thought long and hard before finally replying:

"Senior Sister Qi, I only recognized which faction this army belonged to after I saw that person."

Qi Keqing asked, "Who is it?"

The seventy-nine Nascent Soul cultivators who followed also listened attentively.

Sikong Lan said, "The person fighting the Demon Beast is called Ning Qi, the sect leader of the Wuji Sword Sect in the Xuanzhen Domain. Since he has shown himself, that army must be composed of cultivators from the Xuanzhen Domain."

"What?"

Qi Keqing and the others were all taken aback.

Their Yaoguang Immortal Sect was an established immortal sect in the Fuyou Domain, and they had never looked down on the Xuanzhen Domain, which had split apart next door.

But now Sikong Lan says that the army in front of them are cultivators from the Xuanzhen Domain!

Qi Keqing looked ahead and saw that Ning Qi's battle with the Demon Beast seemed to have ended, and when he turned his head, he seemed to have spotted them approaching.

Ning Qi had actually sensed the presence of the Fuyou Domain army when it was still a hundred miles away.

But he never mentioned it.

After all, they had already discussed and planned the battle to capture this node.

If the approaching army were mentioned, wouldn't that create unnecessary complications and make the people of Xuanzhen Domain hesitate before the battle?

Therefore, he only brought it up after he had completely eradicated the Vermilion Bird Immortal Sect and the bee demon swarm.

At this moment, the people of Xuanzhen Domain, riding the wave of victory, were not afraid of anyone who came.

The Xuanzhen Domain army rearranged into a great formation, each pointing their swords in the direction of the approaching figures.

As for the only surviving Bee Queen, they didn't care at all.

With the alliance leader present, this Bee Queen could be easily suppressed.

Ning Qi's gaze returned to the Bee Queen.

The Queen Bee had a graceful figure; were it not for the tentacles on her face, her six arms, and her bewitching aura, no one would recognize her as Demon Beast from the Boundary Sea.

At this moment, the Bee Queen also sensed the approaching army. A glimmer of hope seemed to appear in her beautiful eyes, as she believed that the appearance of the troublemakers could bring her new life.

Ning Qi said calmly, "Submit or die?"

The Bee Queen looked at Ning Qi Ning Qi, gazing into his deep, unwavering eyes, seemingly captivated.

Her charm caused many cultivators present to waver, but Ning Qi's eyes captivated her.

The Bee Queen suddenly realized that her mind seemed to have been pulled into a special space.

This is a separate universe, suspended above the earth, looking up into the distance.

Then, Ning Qi's figure appeared in the sky.

A pair of heavenly eyes looked down at him mercilessly, and the Bee Queen suddenly felt her will shrink infinitely, while Ning Qi's will expanded infinitely in her consciousness.

A single glance can mark the birth and death of the universe; a single glance can span tens of thousands of years!

The Bee Queen felt herself falling continuously. In the entire world, she had nothing to rely on, and her power as a Limitless Venerable had vanished.

She seemed to have transformed into an earthly Bees, unable to escape this closed universe.

Rumble!

The universe before the Bee Queen was collapsing, and the divine voice of the Great Dao echoed in her ears.

"Submit or die?"

The Bee Queen couldn't help but say, "This humble servant is willing to submit!"

After she said those words, she finally regained her senses and returned to reality.

She glanced at Ning Qi again, but unconsciously lowered her head.

Ning Qi said calmly, "If you don't hand over your primordial Primordial Spirit Origin Power within three breaths, you'll die along with those bee demons."

The Queen Bee's chest heaved; she dared not wait any longer.

The young man's single glance just now, she didn't know what kind of Divine Ability it possessed, had completely captivated her.

Suddenly, a beam of illusory Primordial Spirit light shot out from between her eyebrows; it was a miniature version of herself, which shot towards Ning Qi.

Ning Qi released his Primordial Spirit power, grabbed it, and pressed it against his brow.

Instantly, he and the Bee Queen formed a life-or-death pact.

This is the second Boundary Sea Demon Beast that Ning Qi has subdued in the War Realm.

Do you have a name?

The Bee Queen said, "Master, this humble servant is Feng Baihua."

"Aren't you going to hand over the node bead yet?"

Feng Baihua immediately opened her mouth, and the node bead here flew out of her mouth, continuously enlarging until it finally stopped in Ning Qi's hand.

Ning Qi nodded, "You and Black Flood Dragon should also form ranks and await the enemy!"

"Yes!"

The black dragon wagged its tail beside Ning Qi like a dog, saying, "Master, the bee demon has a name, but I don't. Please give me one."

Ning Qi glanced at him. "I'll call you Xiao Hei then."

Black Dragon: "..."

After subduing Feng Baihua, Ning Qi had completely secured this node.

He held the node bead in one hand, and his Spiritual Qi immediately flowed into it.

The node bead immediately transformed into a celestial star and shot towards the celestial boundary.

As starlight fell, the suppressed strength of the Xuanzhen Domain cultivators present instantly recovered by 30%.

A detachment from the main army set up an altar.

"Yes!"

Having learned from the previous two experiences of building altars, Ning Qi specially selected a team from the Xuanzhen Domain army, including array cultivators and artifact cultivators, to be dedicated to building altars.

At this moment, they stepped out and began constructing the altar directly beneath the celestial star.

They worked extremely fast and completed the construction with ease.

Before long, the altar was completed, except for the crystal jade at the very top, which had not yet been placed.

Once released, it will completely activate the celestial stars, shooting towards the star beam and gathering the vast energy of the realm and the energy of the Boundary Sea in this place.

At the same time, it will also restrain them.

Now is clearly not a suitable time; the approaching people are only twenty miles away.

Sword Ancestor stood beside Ning Qi and unleashed a sword strike at the approaching figure from afar.

This sword, once drawn, is not a straight sword.

The Sword Qi stretched for tens of thousands of meters, Sword-Ray drew a wall a thousand meters away from both sides, cutting off the void.

"Halt!"

Such a terrifying sword strike naturally made Qi Keqing and the others who were approaching tremble with fear.

They sensed the Sword Ancestor's cultivation level and saw that he was only at the late stage of the Integration Realm, but this sword strike was enough to threaten them, these Limit Venerables.

Everyone immediately realized that the other party was an unparalleled genius.

As for Ning Qi beside him, he is probably even more terrifying.

After all, Sikong Lan of the Qingxuan Immortal Sect had just revealed to them the situation within the Xuanzhen Domain.

There are biases and exaggerations involved, but Qi Keqing knows very well that Ning Qi, who is beside Jian Jingjue, is the real person, the leader of the Xuanzhen Domain army, and the Lord of Xuanzhen Domain!

Qi Keqing was no stranger to the title of Domain Lord.

Although their Fuyou Domain and other nearby spiritual domains have no domain lords.

However, the great war that led to the division of the Xuanzhen Domain back then seems to have been caused by the struggle for the domain lord, so almost all the neighboring spirit domains have records of it.

These spirit domains, though located in remote areas, were considered part of the Mountain Ancestor's faction within the Mountain and Sea Realm. However, they were aware that many domain lords existed in the central spirit domain under the Mountain Ancestor's leadership.

These immortal sects in remote spiritual realms naturally also harbor ambitions to seize control of the realm.

But after each sect tried, they all realized that becoming a domain lord was extremely difficult!

First, we must unify the entire Spirit Realm!

Secondly, it is essential to ensure that all sects and cultivators wholeheartedly identify with the sect that unifies the spiritual realm!

There are not many immortal sects in remote spiritual realms, unlike in the central areas where there are often multiple immortal sects within a single spiritual realm.

Therefore, it wasn't difficult for them to unify the Spirit Realm; the difficulty lay in the second point.

As for the domain lords of those spirit domains in the central region, cultivators in the remote spirit domains simply cannot understand how they managed to unify the spirit domains and become domain lords, given that so many immortal sects exist within a single spirit domain.

Thinking of the matter of the Domain Lord, Qi Keqing couldn't help but feel a little more respect for Ning Qi, who had just been masked.

I've heard that Ning Qi has the potential to become an immortal, and at less than two hundred years old, he has already accomplished such a feat. He is truly an extraordinary person!

Qi Keqing and the others finally stopped outside the wall of swords that Jian Jingjue had created.

Qi Keqing clasped her hands and said, "I am Qi Keqing from the Yaoguang Immortal Sect of the Fuyou Domain. Having received information about a node here, I have led my army to investigate."

Sword Ancestor asked, "Do any of you intend to seize the node?"

Sikong Lan glanced at Qi Keqing; he naturally hoped that Qi Keqing would snatch it.

After recognizing Ning Qi, he desperately wanted to incite a war between the Yao Guang Immortal Sect army led by Qi Keqing and the Xuanzhen Domain army led by Ning Qi.

But Qi Keqing wasn't stupid; she wasn't easily swayed by his provocations.

In addition, Sikong Lan did not expect to encounter Ning Qi so soon, and for a moment she could not come up with a good idea, so she could only give up for the time being.

Qi Keqing said, "Let's not beat around the bush. If you hadn't captured the node, I would have led a large army to seize it. But now that you have, I'm just bringing some people to take a look."

Ning Qi stared at Qi Keqing.

He also sowed many seeds in the True Martial within the Fuyou Domain, and he also had spies within the Yaoguang Immortal Sect.

Therefore, Ning Qi knew very well about Qi Keqing.

Although this person is a female cultivator, she has a broad mind and comes from humble origins. Yet she has been able to shine brightly in the Yao Guang Immortal Sect and has the ambition to establish unparalleled achievements. She is an extremely rare talent.

Although he was ambitious, he was still considered decent.

Therefore, Ning Qi was certain that there was some truth to what she said.

Qi Keqing then said, "I wonder if our two sides could sit down and talk?"
