Harvest

Across the boundless Boundary Sea, a passageway resembling a closed bridge connects the two large spheres.

From a distance, it looks like a dumbbell.

This scene, a corner of the vast Boundary Sea, is precisely the current state of the Mountain and Sea Realm and the Vast Realm.

There are countless such forms in the Boundary Sea, and some even consist of multiple spheres of varying sizes connected together, but their location from the Mountain and Sea Boundary and the Vast Realm is unknown.

Within the boundaries of war.

Now the entire war zone is completely connected and opened up, with only the boundary barrier remaining at the junction with the two spirit realms.

That was the last barrier between the two spirit realms. Once this barrier was breached, they could directly rush into the other's spirit realm.

Ning Qi carefully observed the barrier between the two realms and sensed that the barrier seemed to be quietly opening.

But looking up, the barrier remained in a state of half-opening, half-closed, making people anxious and impatient.

Now, only these cultivators from the Mountain and Sea Realm remain in the entire War Realm.

The cultivators of the Vast Realm were teleported back into the Vast Realm by the Holy Ancestor's avatar using the "Sleeve Universe Divine Ability" in conjunction with the will of the Vast Realm.

Then, the Holy Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor's clones simultaneously exhausted their power and disappeared into the War Realm.

Ning Qi looked down.

Zhao Yujun, Gong Heavenly Dao, Sword Ancestor Qi Keqing, and almost everyone else were also looking at him.

There were no enemies in front of them. Now they could only stay in a corner of the war zone, either waiting for the ancestor's main body to descend, or waiting for the ancestor to break through the enemy's barrier before they could enter the enemy's spirit realm to fight.

As the war has progressed to this point, the cultivators of the Mountain and Sea Realm generally hold the advantage.

Of course, Ning Qi played a huge role in this.

Whether it was his early conquest of numerous war zones or his invention of the Compass, both set the tone for rapid combat throughout the war.

Among these cultivators, some, like the cultivators of the Vast Realm, hoped that the Ancestor would allow them to return to the Mountain and Sea Realm, so that they would no longer have to fight.

Since the beginning of the Spirit World War, almost all those who have survived to this day are powerful individuals who have acquired considerable resources during the war.

Therefore, some cultivators were already satisfied.

But many others were still not satisfied, hoping to invade the enemy's spirit realm and plunder even more.

Ning Qi gazed at these people, as if witnessing the myriad aspects of life, revealing the emotions, inner thoughts, and humanity of all kinds of people.

Now that he had nothing else to do, Ning Qi, sensing his own state, began to carefully summarize all the gains he had made since entering the War Realm.

His cultivation level advanced directly from the Integrated Body Early Stage to the late stage of the Dao Integration Realm, skipping a major realm and a total of six minor realms.

With his current cultivation level based solely on this reincarnated body, Ning Qi can be considered the number one person in the Mountain and Sea Realm, apart from the two ancestors and the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Even Zhao Yujun, the sect leader of the Moon Sea Immortal Sect, and Gong Tiandao, the sect leader of the Zhou Mountain Immortal Heavenly Dao, are far inferior to him.

Ning Qi himself found it unbelievable; the guy he used to have to look up to was now someone he could look down on.

And he can already reach the level of the strongest among them!

As for material gains, Ning Qi annihilated so many cultivators from the Vast Realm and seized a great deal of spoils from them, including countless Cultivation Method, spiritual treasures, Spirit Stone, and rare and heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

This is only part of it, because by eliminating these enemies, Ning Qi can also obtain corresponding rule fragments and boundary power rewards from the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

In addition, the Fuyou Domain army Commander Qi Keqing and the Langya Domain army previously Commander Zhu Yanchuan also paid Ning Qi 30% of their spoils in order to follow Ning Qi, which was another considerable fortune.

However, apart from the power of the boundary, Ning Qi no longer cared about anything else.

He distributed a portion of it directly as a reward to the armies of the two regions led by Sword Ancestor and Qi Keqing, causing their cultivation levels to rise rapidly.

They went from having only a few dozen Nascent Soul Realm cultivators when they entered to having over a hundred Dao Integration Realm cultivators now. This improvement is considerable and should be considered one of Ning Qi's gains.

Of course, these things weren't really a gain for Ning Qi.

The real gain was that he quietly cut off all the hidden spaces within the War Realm and integrated them into the True Martial, allowing his Realm Lord body to directly advance to the Major Completion of the Rule Realm!

As a result, the True Martial has grown rapidly and benefited greatly.

Although it still can't compare to a spirit realm like the Mountain and Sea Realm, it's getting closer and closer.

At the same time, Ning Qi himself survived an unprecedented Heavenly Tribulation of Dao Integration, merging with the power of the four directions, allowing Ning Qi to transcend all constraints and not become a slave to the Mountain and Sea Realm.

In addition, Ning Qi also obtained two leaves of unknown origin from the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm, which can shield the perception of the spirit realm's will.

Ning Qi felt that this thing had a significant origin, but he still had no clue about it.

He also possessed two other items of unknown origin: one was the Evil Qi expelled from the Sword Ancestor's body, which could destroy the Twisted Monsters from the Boundary Sea; the other was the golden key, which could suppress Evil Qi.

Ning Qi felt that these things would play a significant role at some point in the future, and that he would unravel the mystery behind them.

As for strength, in addition to his visible Divine Ability level, Ning Qi has been constantly creating new Divine Ability abilities and techniques, and also absorbing the supernatural Divine Ability of the powerful individuals he encounters.

For example, when faced with the Nine-Character Mantra for Subduing Demons unleashed by the Holy Ancestor's avatar, Ning Qi directly created Divine Ability Ten Thousand Swords Opening Lotus.

It can be considered as extracting the essence and adapting it for one's own use.

Ning Qi took stock of his gains since entering the War Realm. He was surprised by what he found.

He achieved so much in such a short time.

Indeed, murder and arson bring wealth; no, war makes the powerful even richer!

However, Ning Qi knew that these gains were not the end, and he would reap even greater rewards in the future.

Once he grows a bit more and the two patriarchs join the battle, he will surely reap even greater benefits than before!

Now, Ning Qi has figured out the personalities of the Sea Ancestor, the Holy Ancestor, and the will of the two realms, and found that they are not as bad as he thought.

As for Shan Zu, Ning Qi had not yet truly met him and was not entirely clear about what kind of person he was.

Ning Qi, the master of the True Martial, was originally reincarnated into the Mountain and Sea Realm for the sake of the True Martial's safety. He originally came here to destroy the Mountain and Sea Realm.

But now, Ning Qi has slightly changed his mind.

It seems that he doesn't need to wipe them all out; as long as his strength surpasses theirs, he can simply recruit them into his ranks.

Ning Qi seemed to see himself merging the Vast Realm and the Mountain and Sea Realm into the True Martial Realm.

At that moment, the entire war zone trembled once again.

The pure air rises and the turbid air descends, creating a sensory experience reminiscent of the real world.

Ning Qi knew that the war zone was finally completely stabilized, so...

He immediately turned his gaze back to the boundary between the two spirit realms.

Sure enough, the previously closed entrances are opening at a visible speed.

It was initially extremely narrow, allowing only light to pass through.

Then the view suddenly opened up, and it was large enough for people to enter.

In an instant, Ning Qi saw two figures fly out of the entrance at lightning speed.

Boom!

The air emitted a piercing whistling sound, and before the sound had even faded, two figures had already flown into the war zone.

Ning Qi stared at the two people standing a short distance away, his eyes suddenly widening.

The two were none other than the Holy Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor, whose true forms had finally arrived within the War Realm.

The two stood facing each other, their presence seemingly both imposing and subtle.

Ning Qi carefully sensed the cultivation levels of the two individuals; their true forms seemed to be somewhat concealed.

Ning Qi sensed that they were in a wondrous realm.

It's like the limit of the Dao, or a higher realm, or perhaps, something in between.

Ning Qi relied on his perception to compare it with his own strength.

He was dismayed to discover that his reincarnated body was still not as powerful as the two of them.

If the power of his own body is added, Ning Qi is not sure either.

Because of the current state of the Holy Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor, Ning Qi dared not say that they were not hiding anything at all.

Once their true forms arrived in the War Realm, it seemed as if no one else existed in their eyes.

The Holy Ancestor surveyed the entire war zone, his old face resembling a slightly wrinkled orange peel, and said with a hint of helplessness:

"The War Realm can now barely accommodate our power."

Opposite him, Haizu was dressed in luxurious clothes, exuding an air of dignified nobility.

She replied, "For you and me, even if the war boundary is shattered, can't we still have a brief battle once we reach the Boundary Sea?"

The Holy Ancestor shook his head and said with a wry smile, "If I had known you were so crazy, I would have preferred to sacrifice the entire Vast Realm rather than accept this war in the Spirit Realm."

He looked at Hai Zu and continued, "Don't you really know what my arrival at the Boundary Sea will bring?"

"So what?" Hai Zu said, seemingly unconcerned.

The Holy Ancestor coughed.

"You make a good point, but if we actually did that, countless cultivators would die. Even you and I would be in danger, let alone the other cultivators."

"Alright, stop rambling on. Is this a common problem among the elderly?"

Hai Zu's icy eyes reflected light like a pair of top-quality icy jade.

"If you want war, then let's fight! Why waste so much time on words? I've already let you take away the cultivators from your Vast Realm; now it's our turn to fight!"

Ning Qi just wanted to complain. Women are really hard to understand. They criticize others for talking nonsense, but aren't they also full of nonsense themselves?

Of course, Ning Qi could only keep these thoughts to himself. Judging from the aura of the two ancestors, he seemed to be no match for them.

Ning Qi's eyes flickered, unintentionally sweeping over the War Zone.

The boundary walls surrounding the entire war zone were inscribed with array patterns that even the ancestor could not detect if he accidentally examined them.

Those were array patterns that Ning Qi had set up beforehand, constantly absorbing the power of the dead cultivators, as well as the power of the entire war domain and the Boundary Sea.

Ning Qi remained silent, waiting until the very end to integrate the entire War Realm into the True Martial.

By then, his strength should have reached the level of the Holy Ancestor, the Sea Ancestor.

What left Ning Qi speechless was that Shan Zu, that old schemer, still hadn't shown up by now?

That's some serious survival skills!

Ning Qi Ning Qi doubted whether he could truly be the one to benefit from the conflict between the two sides, given the actions of Shan Zu.

Suddenly, the space in front of them began to shake like dough.

Hai Zu extended her long, white right palm, and instantly, the space in front of her right hand transformed into an enormous water sphere.

The water sphere shimmered with a transparent, rippling light, like a glass tank under the sunlight.

This is a water prison Divine Ability that can be used effortlessly and integrates space itself.

Whether the Holy Ancestor was caught off guard by this move or deliberately imprisoned himself in the water dungeon, it's unclear.

"Imprison and kill!" Hai Zu shouted coldly.

Instantly, everyone saw that the transparent water prison seemed to have transformed into many different spaces in that instant.

At times, it resembled the eighteen levels of hell, including the Hell of Tongue-Pulling, the Hell of Iron Pillars, the Hell of Fire, the Hell of Heavy Water, and other hellish scenes. At other times, it resembled various prisons on earth, filled with all sorts of illusory figures wielding the eighteen kinds of cruel tortures.

Even more bizarrely, there is a hell for cattle and horses.

It's a hell that turns people into beasts of burden, or even worse, working longer hours than beasts of burden, yet reaping far less reward.

The meager income they received was barely enough to sustain their own survival, which sent chills down the spines of the cultivators watching from the sidelines.

Within it, the Holy Ancestor seemed to experience everything as the various scenes changed.

These are hard to call illusions, and hard to call true reality.

Just like the appearance of this Divine Ability, it alternates between reality and illusion, making it difficult to distinguish between them.

Under the blessing of the various hells, the entire water sphere changed colors, and the Holy Ancestor seemed to willingly experience everything within it, without any trace of resistance.

Ning Qi was extremely interested in the Holy Ancestor's performance.

Was this old man enjoying the pain, or was he enjoying this unique experience?

He glanced in surprise at Hai Zu, who was currently abusing Hai Zu, and then at Sheng Zu inside. Could it be that the two of them had just starved to death?

Thinking of this, Ning Qi suddenly felt goosebumps and a chill run down his spine.

On the sidelines, many of the cultivators watching the battle seemed to share the same feeling as Ning Qi, but none of them dared to say it.

Are you kidding? The two most powerful ancestors are fighting; how dare they interfere?

As for the cultivators under the Mountain Ancestor, led by Gong Heavenly Dao, they felt a sense of loss at this moment, as if they had been abandoned.

What about their ancestral mountain ancestors?

Even just a message from the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm would be appreciated.

How could you ignore their existence? Are they really so worthless in the eyes of the Mountain Ancestor?

Within the boundaries of mountains and seas.

A series of strong winds swept across the summit of Jitian Peak, making people's clothes flutter loudly.

The dragon-faced attendant remained by the roadside leading up the mountain, but kept silent, like a stone statue.

It seemed that he would only move when given a command by the Mountain Ancestor.

The Mountain Ancestor stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the entire war zone.

"You're all probably questioning me, aren't you? Hmph, let you fight for a while, then I'll draw some power from there."

"I orchestrated the Spirit World War to nurture that creature, and now it's time to reap the rewards. I hope it will allow me to advance even further!"
