The Temperamental Sea Ancestor

"Whether they are enemies or allies, they are all stepping stones for me to obtain the greatest power!"

As the Mountain Ancestor watched the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm depart, he added another sentence.

Because of this belief, he was able to become the mountain ancestor he is today.

He has come this far because of this belief.

On the path of cultivation, the strong are respected, and only by upholding the ruthless heart of Heavenly Dao can one reach the end.

The endless sea.

The illusory image of the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm also appeared beside the Sea Ancestor.

Hai Zu was watching the war zone when he sensed Hai Zu's appearance and began to speak to himself.

"It seems Ning Qi has stirred up a huge storm in the War Zone again. Do you have some good news to tell me now?"

The illusory image of the Mountain and Sea Realm's will said:

"The good news is indeed good news! Besides the turmoil caused by the previous Heavenly Tribulation, now that the Holy Ancestor's avatar has descended upon the Central Region, Ning Qi has already sent him flying once!"

Hai Zu was slightly taken aback, and immediately turned his head.

Her icy eyes blinked as she asked, "That old man even sent out his clones. Has Ning Qi grown to the point where he can fight against our clones?"

The illusory image of the Mountain and Sea Realm's will smiled wryly, "It's not just a simple clone."

Immediately, the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm quickly and meticulously recounted everything that had happened within the War Realm to the Sea Ancestor.

After he finished speaking, Haizu was moved by what he had said.

"You mean the Holy Ancestor's avatar summoned a twisted creature from the Boundary Sea, and Ning Qi can even subdue twisted creatures?"

Hai Zu was stunningly beautiful, but at this moment, a strange expression appeared on her face.

When the Boundary Sea was mentioned, her expression became noticeably more surprised than before, and even the madness in her icy eyes seemed to subside somewhat.

The will of the Mountain and Sea Realm simply waved its hand.

Instantly, he used the power of rules to simulate the battle between Ning Qi and the Twisted Monsters of the Boundary Sea, presenting it to the Sea Ancestor.

Haizu scrutinized the battle closely, not missing a single detail.

From the appearance of hundreds of twisted creatures, to their slaying and condensation into ten by Ning Qi and Zhao Yujun, to their complete merging, and finally to their complete annihilation by Ning Qi.

"He can actually control these twisted creatures!"

The will of the Mountain and Sea Realm replied, "That guy is unbelievable even to me. He's probably the most talented person in the history of our Mountain and Sea Realm, even you and Haoshan are far inferior to him."

He paused, then continued, "This is not only reflected in his talent, but also in his luck. Look at how he survived the Heavenly Tribulation of two realms within the War Realm, and at the same time, he even acquired the Evil Qi that restrains the Twisted Monsters..."

Haizu remained silent for a moment.

She has always been confident, having fought against the Mountain Ancestor for countless millennia, and has never admitted defeat.

She is also straightforward and has always sought the truth.

She would never belittle Ning Qi's talent simply because she was the ancestor of a realm, nor would she disregard the truth.

Therefore, Hai Zu knew in his heart that what the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm said was true!

"So, you're pinning your hopes of escaping on Ning Qi?" Hai Zu suddenly said.

The will of the Mountain and Sea Realm did not treat the Sea Ancestor the same way it did when facing the Mountain Ancestor.

He scoffed at himself, "What? Did you two steal my power back then, so you won't even allow me to think about escaping?"

Hai Zu said in a deep voice, "Shan Hai, you understand, I don't really want to seize your power, I only have to do this to fight against that man!"

The Will of the Mountain and Sea Realm did not continue to respond to this topic.

Haizu didn't continue speaking; both of them seemed to be deeply reluctant to discuss what happened back then.

"The Holy Ancestor of the Vast Realm has now dispatched a second avatar into the War Domain. I'm here to inform you and Haoshan."

The will of the Mountain and Sea Realm mentions its purpose.

Upon hearing this, Hai Zu seemed to let out a cold laugh.

"You're probably mainly talking to me, aren't you? I don't believe that guy truly cares about the lives of his men."

"You understand him best!"

"Ha, since he's unwilling to send a clone, do you really think I'll send one?"

"You don't want to?"

"In order to defeat him, I naturally cannot afford to deplete my strength first!"

The will of the Mountain and Sea Realm frowned slightly.

"Are you really willing to watch all the power you've built up over the years, all the people you've taken under your wing, die one by one? Are you going to follow his example and achieve victory too? I don't believe it!"

The Sea Ancestor's gaze suddenly shifted from the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm. She first glanced at the distant continent, then looked away, and finally gazed at the Endless Sea.

It took her countless years of hard work to build a power that rivaled that of the Mountain Ancestor to reach this point.

If she were to lose all of this, if she were to watch those who were willing to follow her die, could she truly do it?

In an instant, Haizu seemed to see everyone die, and everything she had built up over the years vanish into thin air.

Suddenly, she seemed to recall a more distant memory, and she bit her red lips so hard that a trickle of blood dripped down her delicate chin.

"Hahaha! If he won't save me, I'll save him anyway; if he won't send a clone, I'll send one anyway!"

The illusory image of the Mountain and Sea Realm's will stared at the Sea Ancestor, who seemed to have lost control of his emotions, with something indescribable in his eyes.

Vast Realm.

The Holy Ancestor was communicating with the illusory image of the will of the Vast Realm.

The will of the Vast Realm, like the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm, revealed all the details of Ning Qi's victory over the Twisted Monsters to the Holy Ancestor.

However, the Holy Ancestor did not care about these things; instead, his expression changed.

He demanded sharply, "Zhili, you said you used your own will to merge into the Twisted Monsters?"

The will of the Vast Realm stared blankly at the Holy Ancestor, noticing that the Holy Ancestor's expression was more stern than ever before.

"Teacher, Ning Qi has repeatedly thwarted our plans. I couldn't bear to see the Twisted Monsters you summoned killed before it could achieve anything. That's why I used a wisp of my own will to empower the unified Twisted Monsters."

After he finished speaking, he immediately condensed a very faint trace of spiritual will in front of the two people, right in front of the Holy Ancestor.

"Teacher, I only used this much of my willpower. That Twisted Monsters is indeed dangerous, but as long as you're here, we don't need to be so cautious, do we?"

The Holy Ancestor stared intently at the wisp of spiritual will as thin as a hair, his pupils contracting several times.

"I told you long ago not to touch these things, why didn't you listen?"

Seeing that the Holy Ancestor was still blaming him, the Will of the Vast Realm stood beside the Holy Ancestor like a good student who had been wronged, with his head bowed, looking helpless.

When the Holy Ancestor saw his appearance, he finally sighed.

"I hope your meager willpower won't be noticed by the terrifying beings in the Boundary Sea."

The will of the Vast Realm raised its head, knowing that it must have done something wrong for the Holy Ancestor to react this way.

"Teacher, please tell me clearly what will happen when my willpower is integrated into that Twisted Monsters. I really have no idea."

The Holy Ancestor's aged face now showed even more worry.

This worry seemed to be even deeper than the news of the Mountain and Sea Realm's attack.

He said, "Let me make this clear to you. I warned you before that only I can access these things. The reason you can't access them is because you are the will of the spirit world!"

The Vast Realm remains unknown.

The Holy Ancestor continued, "Those Twisted Monsters are inherently inclined to attack the Spirit Realm, especially their source, which can be said to have been born to destroy everything. Therefore, as the will of the Spirit Realm, once your will is sensed by them, they will inevitably follow the Boundary Sea towards the location of the Vast Realm."

The will of the Vast Realm finally understood why the Holy Ancestor had repeatedly told him not to come into contact with the Twisted Monsters.

"Teacher, I was wrong!" The will of the Vast Realm showed an expression of deep regret.

The Holy Ancestor reached out and patted his head.

"Now, we can only hope that your willpower is indeed insufficient to attract their attention, and also hope that Ning Qi's use of Evil Qi to annihilate the Twisted Monsters didn't cause them to send back information to their Origin."

The will of the Vast Realm raised its head.

"Yes, Ning Qi quickly killed the Twisted Monsters; they shouldn't have sent back any information yet."

At this moment, for the first time, the will of the Vast Realm felt grateful to Ning Qi.

The Holy Ancestor said another sentence.

"Forget it, let's focus on the current war in the spirit realm. If we lose, it might attract those things, which could avenge us. If we win, we'll leave the remains of the Mountain and Sea Realm here. You control the entire Vast Realm, conceal your aura, and escape this place as soon as possible."

The will of the Vast Realm nodded.

Within the central domain of the war zone.

The Holy Ancestor's avatar has returned.

This scene invigorated the cultivators of the Vast Realm, while most of the cultivators of the Mountain and Sea Realm were already uneasy.

The fact that the opposing ancestor's clone appeared twice clearly shows that the opposing side values its subordinates more than their own ancestor.

What about them?

If it weren't for Ning Qi's presence, they would probably have been completely routed and lost the war after the Holy Ancestor's avatar first descended and those Twisted Monsters appeared.

Of course, this loss doesn't mean that the Mountain and Sea Realm lost, but at least it means that these cultivators lost!

They lost their lives, can't we say they lost?

The cultivator from the Vast Realm stared intently at the Holy Ancestor's avatar, while the cultivator from the Mountain and Sea Realm glanced at him, but the next second his gaze fell on Ning Qi high in the sky.

Ning Qi is the only one who can give them peace of mind right now.

Even the sect leaders of Zhou Shan Immortal Heavenly Dao, Gong Tiandao, and Yue Hai Immortal Sect, Zhao Yujun, could not give them this sense of security.

However, comparing the two sect leaders, Zhao Yujun is better than Gong Heavenly Dao.

The previous attack by the Twisted Monsters on the cultivators of the Mountain and Sea Realm was divided into three factions: the two major immortal sects each constituted one faction, and Ning Qi's two domain armies constituted another.

The fewest casualties were among the cultivators under Ning Qi's command. However, saying the casualties were too few is not quite accurate; it can be said that not a single cultivator was devoured by the Twisted Monsters. Sword Ancestor also deserves credit for this.

However, on the other two sides, the Sea Ancestor's forces suffered approximately three hundred casualties, while the Mountain Ancestor's forces suffered nearly seven hundred casualties!

Therefore, this also shows which one is more worthwhile to follow!

Gong Heavenly Dao had been fighting Jiang Yingchu the whole time, and the two were evenly matched. It could be said that he had almost held back the opposing sect leader. As for other things, he had not made any progress.

But can they blame Gong Heavenly Dao?

Gong Heavenly Dao was already weaker than Zhao Yujun, and being able to hold off the sect leader of Haoran Immortal Sect was already the best he could do.

Their real grievance is not against Gong Heavenly Dao, but rather...

The thought crossed everyone's minds, but they automatically stopped themselves from thinking about it.

The two patriarchs were like taboo figures in their hearts.

Even just thinking about it, let alone mentioning it, is an absolutely unacceptable mistake.

The Holy Ancestor's avatar stood proudly in the void, not looking at anyone else, but at Ning Qi.

"Boy, did you agree to my previous proposal or not? Why are you still preventing the cultivators of the Vast Realm from gaining any advantage?"

Ning Qi ignored him.

Deep down, he definitely wanted to agree.

But with the Holy Ancestor's clones creating so many things that threatened his subordinates, how could he just stand by and do nothing?

Isn't that clearly an act of betraying the world of mountains and seas?

Ning Qi would never do such a thing, at least not now.

However, Ning Qi was helpless when he saw the Holy Ancestor's avatar reappear.

Those two patriarchs from the Mountain and Sea Realm are too cowardly! Don't they care about the lives of the cultivators fighting on the front lines?

The other side has already sent out two clones, but they haven't sent out a single one.

This was completely beyond Ning Qi's understanding of the two ancestors. Their strength was indeed unparalleled in the Mountain and Sea Realm, but their bottom line was so low!

Isn't this clearly an attempt to make them use their lives to deplete the Holy Ancestor's power?

The key point is, damn it, Ning Qi is here, so we can't completely ignore him.

He couldn't ignore the casualties among his men, nor could he allow Zhao Yujun, Leng Qing'ao, and others, whom he had just met and whose impressions of him were fairly good, to be injured or killed.

Ning Qi could only say that compared to the two ancestors, he was much kinder.

According to his original plan, Ning Qi should have been more cautious, so that the two sides could fight and the third party could benefit.

As a result, the two old ancestors have now become the ones who reap the benefits behind the scenes.

This can't go on. He's going to drag the two patriarchs down with him. Otherwise, if this fight continues, Ning Qi will be exposed sooner or later!

Ning Qi looked at the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm beside him, his face showing some fatigue, and said:

"Lord of the Realm, haven't the two patriarchs sent their avatars yet?"

Seeing Ning Qi's exhausted expression, the illusory image of the Mountain and Sea Realm's will also felt that the young man before him had been bearing far too much for him to bear.

"Don't worry, someone from their group is about to appear. Don't feel wronged; I will reward you."

Ning Qi's heart stirred upon hearing this.

Who exactly has arrived? Is it Shan Hai or an avatar of Hai Zu? Is it one person or two?

If both of them send their clones, then the Holy Ancestor will probably have to increase the number of clones, otherwise he won't be able to deal with the Mountain and Sea Realm.

As he pondered these thoughts, he addressed the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm:

"I'm afraid I won't live to see the moment I receive the reward from the Realm Lord!"

The will of the Mountain and Sea Realm was taken aback for a moment.

"Rest assured, even if I lose, I will protect you!"

His resolute words revealed the importance Ning Qi held in his heart.

Ning Qi replied, "If you only save me, I will never leave. You must rescue my men as well!"

Upon hearing this, the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm was slightly moved.

The image of the madwoman seemed to overlap with that of Ning Qi before him. They both still possessed emotions, unlike the Mountain Ancestor who compared himself to the Heavenly Dao, Heavenly Dao ruthless.

Can the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm truly stand by and watch all life created by it perish?

Clearly, he couldn't do it either!

Suddenly, a strange phenomenon appeared in the void.

On the cultivators' side of the Mountain and Sea Realm, a certain part of the boundary wall above their heads suddenly flowed like seawater.

A stream of water pierced through the boundary wall, quickly coalescing into a figure.

"Kid, isn't the head coach, who's under pressure, here?"
