Ning Qi's Gains

Under the planning of Realm Lord Ning Qi, the True Martial Spirit World is developing towards becoming a perfect cultivation world.

The merging of the Three Realms brought together all resources in an unprecedented way, making cultivation more convenient for cultivators within the Three Realms and greatly benefiting Ning Qi.

He is the world, and the world is him.

Ning Qi's cultivation system for world lords is linked to and complements the growth of the world.

His own enlightenment and increased strength will, in turn, contribute to the overall improvement of the True Martial Spirit World.

Similarly, the advancement of the True Martial Spirit World will also allow Ning Qi's own strength to grow.

In the inner world.

The legendary strongest cultivators in the mortal realm are said to be able to move mountains and fill seas, but Ning Qi has already surpassed that level.

He uses the world as a sandbox, directly altering the entire layout and everything in the spirit world.

As Ning Qi used his Law Power to settle the cultivators in the Three Realms Spirit Domain, the Holy Ancestor's avatar and the Vast Mountain and Sea Will suddenly noticed that Ning Qi's body was emitting seven-colored light on its own, and his aura was rising continuously, so much so that it was impossible to stop him.

They all turned their heads, staring at Ning Qi with shocked expressions.

Ning Qi snapped out of his daze and looked inward at himself; the true reward of merging with both realms had finally arrived.

The size of a person's world determines the size of their breadth of mind and their capabilities.

The two great spiritual realms of Shanhai and Haoran can both give birth to near-immortal beings like the two holy ancestors of Shanhai and Haoran, so the True Martial Spirit World can naturally do the same.

Now that the Three Realms are integrated, Ning Qi's potential has reached its peak.

Just as Ning Qi was radiating seven-colored light, countless rules of earth energy and spiritual power began to merge for the first time throughout the True Martial Spirit World.

The energy of the Three Realms circulates endlessly, filling the entire world and awakening all beings who are immersed in cultivation.

Countless indigenous people are already used to this situation, and their reactions are quite peculiar. Some of them are quite amused, and their reactions are probably as follows.

Someone sighed and patted their chest, "Oh, our cultivation environment has improved even further! The Realm Lord has done everything he could to help me!"

Someone said to the person next to them:

"Alas, my great-grandfather was just an ordinary man, over three hundred years old. It seemed like he was about to finish his life, but guess what happened?"

"Needless to say, my great-uncle was the same. He said he had almost died twice. The first time, he was seriously ill and was on his last breath."

As a result, the Lord of the Realm bestowed blessings upon all living beings, causing the entire world to upgrade. He instantly jumped out of bed, his face radiant, and his physique even stronger than a young man's!

Upon hearing this, the man who had spoken earlier smiled and quickly asked, "And the other time?"

"Uncle Zeng said that after he recovered from his illness, he exercised for about three months before preparing to seek revenge on his former enemies."

However, when he met his enemy at a famous mountain, he was no match for him. His enemy struck him with a single palm strike, knocking him off a cliff. He suffered numerous fractures, but his heart was still faintly beating.

The person listening in added, "Then the World Lord made the world stronger, so your great-uncle came back to life?"

"Yes, from now on, he will keep the statue of the Realm Lord in his home and worship it every day."

"My great-grandfather was the same; he said he was incredibly lucky in his life to have lived during the time when the Realm Lord ruled the True Martial."

"Who can argue with that? It's not just those old folks; we are all bathed in the blessings of the Realm Lord."

The same conversation took place among the natives of the True Martial Spirit World. Whatever they were doing, they stopped, stood up respectfully, and bowed towards the sky.

"Wait, something's not right..."

When those who had cultivated for a long time emerged from seclusion, they were astonished to find that the world had become incredibly vast.

In the past, they had long been accustomed to the great changes in the True Martial, but in general, they had only been expanding in an orderly manner on the existing basis.

However, upon emerging from seclusion this time, these guys, who had been in seclusion for so long, flew into the air and gazed into the distance, each one of them was so astonished they could have swallowed an ostrich egg!

Immediately, the man hurriedly asked a powerful-looking cultivator beside him, "Could you please tell me what year it is today?"

The powerful cultivator quickly shook his head and said, "I don't know either!"

"Hiss, I remember that before I went into seclusion, I wasn't in this place. How did I end up in these mountains?"

He paused, then asked, "How long have you been in seclusion, senior?"

To everyone's surprise, the cultivator replied, "I am not in seclusion. I am a cultivator who migrated from another world to be your realm's master."

"Huh?" The man was completely dumbfounded.

He immediately gave the senior expert in front of him a wary look, and only breathed a sigh of relief after finding that the other party had no hostility.

"Senior, do you know what happened before? I've been in seclusion for too long and really don't know."

The senior expert sighed, looked at the other person, and his eyes were filled with a strange and envious expression.

"Senior, is there something on my face?"

"No, I just envy you natives of the True Martial Spirit World. You've improved your cultivation so effortlessly, without anyone noticing, and you don't even know the world has changed. I really don't know what to say."

The man touched his head, sensing the emotion hidden in those words, and a strange sense of satisfaction welled up inside him.

"There's nothing we can do. The Realm Lord is working too hard. We little shrimps from the True Martial Spirit World are just like that saying, 'When one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.'"

Upon hearing this, the other person shook their head.

"When one attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs rise to heaven. This kind of thing happens in our world too, but usually, the enlightened one only promotes his own family members at most. It's nothing like what Lord Ning did, who directly benefited the entire True Martial Spirit World."

"That's true. In the eyes of the Realm Lord, whether it's emperors and generals, peddlers and laborers, or even creatures other than humans, such as wild beasts and insects, the Realm Lord makes no distinction and treats them all the same."

The cultivator opposite sighed again upon hearing this.

"Alas, you all have no idea how lucky you are. You people have no idea how cruel the outside world is. We were almost sacrificed by our own ancestor just now. That ancestor was willing to sacrifice all of us to become the strongest!"

"Huh? There's such a patriarch? Does someone like that even deserve to be called a patriarch?"

"We have no choice but to call him Ancestor. He's different from your Realm Lord. Anyone who doesn't call him Ancestor must die!"

Upon hearing this, the young cultivator patted his chest, feeling that these cultivators from the outside world were truly miserable, but fortunately they lived under the radiance of the realm lord.

"Senior, our meeting is fate. How about we exchange a few words?"

"Of course, I am also very interested in the True Martial Spirit World."

Scenes like this were happening almost everywhere in the True Martial Spirit World, and cultivators from the Three Realms quickly began to exchange ideas.

Let's turn our attention back to the inner world.

The Qi of the Three Realms circulates endlessly, all flowing towards Ning Qi in the inner world.

Whether in the entire sky of the True Martial or in the inner world, there were thousands of auspicious colors and boundless radiance.

Endless energy, Spiritual Qi, and rules flowed towards Ning Qi.

Ning Qi felt as if he were the core of a realm, or a filter, purifying the energies of the Three Realms that had just merged together.

At this moment, with boundless energy surging within him, Ning Qi let go of his mind and body, no longer clinging to the existence of his physical body.

Gradually, his body seemed to vanish from the sight of the Holy Ancestor's avatar and the others, then transformed into countless particles of light, completely merging into the entire True Martial Spirit World.

Is this what it means to be one with the world?

The Holy Ancestor's avatar looked astonished, with an expression of disbelief.

"The spirit realm possesses its own will. How could Ning, a mere cultivator, integrate into the entire spirit realm? It's truly strange."

He looked at the wills of the vast mountains and seas and said, "You are both incarnations of the spirit realm's will. Have you ever seen such a strange thing?"

Both shook their heads.

"Teacher, we were born from the spirit realm, and we have never seen anyone who can replace the will of the spirit realm."

The will of the Mountain and Sea Realm also said, "At most, I've seen those who seize our power for their own use, such as the Mountain Ancestor, but no one can replace us."

Both of them nodded upon hearing this.

Clearly, the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm possessed a profound understanding and deep pain in this regard, and he continued to explain:

"After all, a realm is so vast, and all living beings within it possess sentience. How is it possible to support so many beings without being rejected by them?"

"To get them to acknowledge your existence, either they must do so willingly, or you must force them to comply. Either way, achieving this is extremely difficult, and that's one point."

Both of them wholeheartedly agreed with this statement.

"It seems that Ning is following the former path, making all living beings willingly submit to him as their master. Unless the world is on the verge of destruction, he probably can't do that. The Mountain Ancestor, on the other hand, is following the latter path."

The Holy Ancestor made a pointed remark.

The will of the Mountain and Sea Realm smiled.

"Perhaps this is the cause and effect of every action. In order to become the strongest, the Mountain Ancestor sealed my true form and sent his cultivators to destroy the small worlds that had attached themselves to me. Because of this, the True Martial was plunged into a crisis of world destruction, and thus Ning Qi came into being."

"And the second one?" the will of the Vast Realm inquired.

"Secondly, it still concerns all living beings and the entire world. All living beings possess sentience, and as the will of the world, we, the wills born from the spirit realm, are inherently able to bear their thoughts and ideas without being affected by them, but..."

"If someone tries to replace us, since they Non-Self, they will have to bear the impact of the power of all living beings. This is no joke. No matter how powerful a cultivator is, if they were to bear all the thoughts and ideas of all living beings in an entire realm, even for just a moment, their Divine Sense would collapse!"

"Therefore, it is only when all living beings willingly submit to the Lord that it can truly become the will of the world. Not to mention, the will of the world also has the heavy responsibility of shielding against the invasion of the Boundary Sea and repairing the damage to the spirit world."

After saying all this, they all understood how difficult it must have been for Ning Qi to have achieved this.

This level of difficulty is arguably far greater than the birth of a spirit.

After all, they are defying the heavens as living beings, bearing the weight of the entire world on their shoulders!

Ning Qi transformed into particles of light, dispersing completely and scattering into the present True Martial Spirit World.

He seemed to become the wind, transform into the water, and become the earth that bears everything; he was also like the sun in the sky, scattering its light.

At this moment, Ning Qi felt his consciousness and even his body were extending infinitely, and he could feel the feelings of all living beings in the world.

Joys and sorrows, separations and reunions, love and hate, and all kinds of desires.

All the thoughts and emotions of sentient beings rushed towards him, but the light particles that Ning Qi scattered were like colorless jewels, inherently bright and untouched by the mortal world.

At that moment, he seemed to experience a wisp of the Great Dao and the Heart of Heaven.

This is not a realization that comes from being a human being, but a realization that belongs to the world.

Just as the universe gives birth to all living beings, containing both darkness and light, all things are formed, exist, decay, and empty; where there is birth, there is death.

Ning Qi grasped the essence of Heaven and suddenly became incredibly transcendent, surpassing his own limitations and reaching a state of selflessness.

Once you reach this point, the world looks completely different.

The world is as it is, whether good or evil, darkness or light; these are all things that have always existed in the world.

The world is impartial to nothing; if one clings to such a notion, it ceases to be the world!

Ning Qi vaguely felt as if he had grasped something important, yet also as if he had gained nothing at all.

At this moment, he seemed to have merged with the entire True Martial, all living beings in the True Martial, and even the outer Boundary Sea.

In the the Unseen, Ning Qi naturally sensed the illusory image of Mount Buzhou beside him.

Ning Qi sensed the deep obsession of the Mountain Ancestor, the countless resentments within Mount Buzhou, and the unwavering resolve of the Holy Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor.

Ning Qi's current state gave him a vague feeling that something within the illusory image of Mount Buzhou seemed to be guiding him towards the depths of the Boundary Sea.

He followed this guidance and vaguely sensed a large area of the Boundary Sea.

His spiritual sense traversed the gray fog zone, black water zone, and turbulent zone of the Boundary Sea, seemingly glimpsing the world from a single grain of sand and seeing the entire forest from a single leaf.

Within the Boundary Sea, Ning Qi sensed a certain starlight shining, a certain endless abyss, and a golden divine city...

Who dares to covet my divine city?

Suddenly, a terrifying wave of will surged forth, instantly snapping Ning Qi back from that wondrous state.

Ning Qi instantly came to his senses, feeling as if he had returned to the True Martial Spirit World.

His form reassembled and reappeared in the inner world, his brows slightly furrowed.

"Were those just an illusion or real images?" Ning Qi wondered to himself.

"Ning boy, what's wrong?"

"The Holy Ancestor's avatar inquired."

Ning Qi shook his head slightly and said, "It's nothing. I just thought I saw your true form being beaten up badly by the Mountain Ancestor."

The Holy Ancestor's clone. "..."

The Will of the Vast Realm: "..."

The will of the Mountain and Sea Realm almost burst out laughing.

Ning Qi suddenly looked at the will of the Vast Realm and said:

"Your name is Zhili, right? Now that you've merged into the True Martial, you can no longer be a Realm Lord. You can only become a spirit of my True Martial Spirit World, just like Shan Hai."

The will of the Vast Realm bowed and said, "You understand etiquette. It is already fortunate that you are alive. I will leave everything to Lord Ning."

Ning Qi hummed in agreement and said, "Very well, I have appointed Shan Hai as the Spirit of Mountains and Seas in the True Martial Realm. You have been influenced by the Holy Ancestor and possess the ability to know etiquette, so how about I appoint you as the Spirit of Teaching?"

The will of the Vast Realm was taken aback, and he couldn't help but look at the Holy Ancestor's avatar beside him.

The Holy Ancestor's avatar laughed, "Why don't you quickly thank the Realm Lord? You've been helping me guide the path of etiquette in the entire Vast Realm, and now the Realm Lord is letting you retain your original position. Why not?"

"Yes, thank you, Lord Realm Master!"

Zhili bowed deeply to Ning Qi!
