Arc 17The World Tree’s Refuge
Ning Qi rescued the Mountain and Sea Realm’s surviving people and merged its remnants into the True Martial World, then faced Mountain Ancestor as the Vast Origin Realm came under threat. The arc left Ning Qi fighting Mountain Ancestor while the Vast Origin Realm prepared to migrate into his world.
- Mountain Ancestor expanded the Buzhou Mountain Shadow and sacrificed trapped cultivators, while Ning Qi disrupted the resulting energy drain and sent his allies toward the Vast Origin Realm.
- Ning Qi entered the Sea Eye, found Sea Ancestor’s prison, and passed through its barriers to reach the Tree of Jianmu and the imprisoned Mountain and Sea Realm Will.
- Ning Qi subdued Jianmu, forced out Mountain Ancestor’s parasitic spirit, and merged the collapsing Mountain and Sea Realm into the True Martial World while rescuing its inhabitants.
- Ning Qi planted Jianmu in the True Martial World, joined it with the Enlightenment World Tree, and moved his world toward the Vast Origin Realm as Mountain Ancestor’s shadow consumed the War Domain.
- Ning Qi and his allies found Mountain Ancestor’s envoy holding the Ancient Dao Sacred Diagram Original, while Mountain Ancestor destroyed surrounding Lesser Worlds and pressed the Buzhou Mountain Shadow against the Vast Origin Realm.
- Ning Qi fought the Dragon-Masked Cultivator, revealed him as Mountain Ancestor, freed Sage Ancestor’s avatar and the Vast Origin Realm Will, and reclaimed Jianmu’s leaves.
- Ning Qi showed Sage Ancestor’s avatar and Zhi Li the True Martial World, and they agreed to bring the Vast Origin Realm’s inhabitants there as he fought Mountain Ancestor with the Enlightenment World Tree’s branch.
