• Fei Bing refused to split his forces to confront Fan Tian, and Fan Tian took the Xiahe Domain’s continued flight as proof that his fame frightened them.

Fan Tian’s Skyfire Domain army was lured into an encirclement by the three Vast Origin Realm armies, while Earth Metal Domain and Vine Wood Domain rushed to help.

Ning Qi led the allied armies to rescue the Sea Ancestor’s cultivators, pacify the Southeast War Domain, and claim its Nodes. As the Mountain and Sea Realm Will explained how the barriers would open, Ning Qi realized his unusual nature could let him tip the war in his own favor and asked what to do next.

After the Mountain and Sea Realm Will summoned him back for the arrival of Dao Harmonization cultivators, a hundred descended in the Southwest War Domain, where several threatened Qi Keqing and Zhu Yanchuan’s forces and Sword Ancestor stepped forward to defend them.

• Ning Qi crossed into the Due West Realm under concealment, and the Vast Origin Realm Will searched the Central Domain but failed to detect him.
