• Sikong Lan and Sima Fei revealed a hidden territory they had remodeled into a killing array, then exposed its node so Qi Keqing’s army would head toward their trap.

Sikong Lan and Sima Fei discovered a Node Pearl, but Kuang Shanqing, the Divine Wind Domain Lord, ambushed them and learned about Ning Qi. Kuang Shanqing summoned Qian Ying, the Hundred Beast Domain Lord, and the two prepared to wait for Ning Qi and kill him.

Qi Keqing led the Whirling Wind Domain Army to a Node, where Sikong Lan lured them into an ambush by Kuang Shanqing, a Vast Origin Realm Domain Lord. Ning Qi received their distress messages, gathered the Langya and Profound Truth Domain armies through teleportation gates, and prepared to lead the allied army against the enemy.

Ning Qi led the Profound Truth and Langya armies to the Node where Kuang Shanqing held Qi Keqing and Sikong Lan, discovered a place beyond the Two Realm Wills, and secretly defeated Qian Ying. He displaced Qi Keqing and her army, confronted Kuang Shanqing, and revealed that Sikong Lan had secretly supplied him with intelligence in exchange for a magic treasure.

• Kuang Shanqing and Qian Ying planned to ambush Ning Qi and capture him alive for the Node-detecting compass, while Ning Qi brought two armies to a concealed position near them.

Ning Qi rescued the Whirling Wind Domain army, defeated Kuang Shanqing with his mastery of the Wind Rule, and forced Kuang Shanqing to reveal a Wind God Painting bestowed by the Sage Ancestor. When Ning Qi looked at the painting, his consciousness was drawn into its vision of the Wind God, leaving his fate uncertain.

• Qi Keqing and the Whirling Wind Domain army appeared beside the Sword Ancestor after Ning Qi rescued them, and the Sword Ancestor told them to stay concealed.

• Kuang Shanqing opened the Wind God Painting, and Ning Qi's consciousness was pulled into its vision, where he became corpse-wind beneath the Wind God's feet.

Ning Qi broke free of the Sage Ancestor's Wind God Picture, endured its attack, and seized the scroll and Kuang Shanqing. As the armies approached, Li Chikuai proposed giving Ning Qi thirty percent of Whirling Wind Domain's gains.

• Ning Qi rejected the Wind God Picture's spiritual confinement and blocked the twin Azure Dragons with the Yin-Yang Divine Art and Primordial Realm Power.

• Ning Qi sealed Kuang Shanqing with a Five-Colored Giant Hand and decided to study the scroll and pursue the Three Ancestors and Two Realm Wills.
• The armies flew toward Ning Qi, and Li Chikuai proposed that Whirling Wind Domain give Ning Qi thirty percent of its gains.

Ning Qi gathered the three armies, gave them tools and orders to defeat the Divine Wind Domain Army and claim the War Domain’s remaining nodes, then sent them away while he investigated a mysterious space. His Compass revealed that the domain held six hidden nodes where he could cut away space and merge it into the True Martial World.

• Qi Keqing and Zhu Yanchuan offered Ning Qi thirty percent of their armies’ gains, and Qi Keqing offered him command, but Ning Qi declined to lead the armies.
• Ning Qi re-refined the commanders’ Compasses so the three armies could sense one another and locate the Divine Wind Domain Army, then ordered them to defeat that army and capture the remaining nodes.
• Ning Qi assigned more than a hundred rescued True Martial World cultivators to Qin Minghao, while Sword Ancestor joined the Profound Truth Domain Army and received a boost to Integrated Body Perfection.
• After the armies departed, Ning Qi studied the space around an inactive node and concluded that the realms’ limits had left unclaimed spaces beyond the reach of their wills.
• Ning Qi updated his Compass with the space’s data and discovered that the War Domain contained thirty-six nodes, including six hidden spaces he could merge into the True Martial World.

Ning Qi seized the six Hidden Nodes in the War Domain and transported their space into the True Martial World, bringing it to one hundred Rule Sources and advancing to Rule Realm Perfection. Meanwhile, the Mountain and Sea Realm’s Old Ancestors noticed that their forces were rapidly capturing nodes in the Southeast War Domain, despite being from a weaker spirit domain than their opponents.

• The True Martial World reached one hundred Rule Sources, and Ning Qi advanced to Rule Realm Perfection as its inhabitants gained renewed health, longer lives, and cultivation breakthroughs.
• Ning Qi’s Three Domain Army defeated the remaining Divine Wind Domain Cultivators, then rapidly captured nodes across the Lower Domain of the Southeast War Domain.
• Mountain Ancestor and Sea Ancestor learned that their forces came from a Lowest Spirit Domain while the opposing Vast Origin Realm forces came from a Middle Spirit Domain, and they reacted with surprise.

Mountain Ancestor and Sea Ancestor both sought to take Ning Qi as their disciple after learning of his victories in the War Domains, while the Sage Ancestor ordered the Vast Origin Realm to kill him. Ning Qi advanced his True Martial World and learned that both Mountain and Sea Ancestors wanted him as a disciple.

• Mountain Ancestor learned Ning Qi had unified the Profound Truth Domain and led the army to defeat Vast Origin Realm cultivators, then offered to take him as a disciple.

• The Mountain and Sea Realm Will told Ning Qi that Mountain Ancestor and Sea Ancestor both wanted to take him as their disciple.

After the Profound Truth Domain Army captured every Node in a War Domain, Ning Qi gave the Will a limited Compass and its manufacturing method, received generous rewards, and reunited with his army.

• The Mountain and Sea Realm Will told Ning Qi that Mountain Ancestor and Sea Ancestor wanted him as a disciple, and advised him to choose Sea Ancestor, who would destroy him if she could not have him.
• Ning Qi declined the Two Ancestors and hesitated when the Mountain and Sea Realm Will offered to take him as a disciple, learning that he had to survive the War Domains and capture at least one completely.

• Ning Qi gave the Mountain and Sea Realm Will a basic Compass and its manufacturing method, and received one hundred super-large Rule Shards and one hundred strands of Mountain and Sea Realm Power as rewards.
• Ning Qi returned to Sword Ancestor and the Profound Truth Domain Army, told them to keep their captured rewards, and privately explained that the Mountain and Sea Realm Will had already rewarded him.

Meanwhile, Fan Tian’s Skyfire Domain army chased Fei Bing’s Xiahe Domain army toward the Upper Domain, and Fan Tian mistook their retreat for fear of his reputation.

• Ning Qi used his Compass to map the Central Domain, identifying occupied nodes, unoccupied nodes, and the six moving domain armies.
• Ning Qi upgraded Sword Ancestor, Qi Keqing, and Zhu Yanchuan’s Compasses with the node map and army positions, while concealing the six special nodes.
• Zhu Yanchuan warned that the Vast Origin Realm Will might target Ning Qi, but Ning Qi dismissed the danger and left the three commanders to decide their armies’ next moves.

• Fan Tian led the Skyfire Domain army in pursuit of Fei Bing’s Xiahe Domain army, which continued toward the Upper Domain to join the other Vast Origin Realm forces.
• 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 discovered the battle was about to wipe out the Skyfire Domain army and headed there because it contained Reincarnated Persons of the True Martial World.

• Sword Ancestor, Qi Keqing, and Zhu Yanchuan decided to seize the Central Domain Nodes after spotting the Skyfire Domain army pursuing the Vast Origin Realm forces.
• Fei Bing revealed that Fan Tian’s army had been lured into a trap and was surrounded by the three Vast Origin Realm armies.
• Fan Tian accused Fei Bing of targeting him, but Fei Bing mocked him and ordered the Xiahe Domain army to attack in revenge for their fallen comrades in the Lower Domain.
• Jin Duanshan and Mu Zhutian learned Fan Tian was surrounded and led the Earth Metal Domain and Vine Wood Domain armies north to save him.
• Ning Qi saw on his Compass that the Skyfire Domain army was close to annihilation and tore through space to reach the battle.

• Fei Bing, Hua Jieyu, and Qiu Daoyu overwhelmed Fan Tian’s attacks, and Qiu Daoyu’s Primordial Spirit strike was stopped by Fan Tian’s defense artifact.
• Fan Tian used a Void Teleportation Talisman to reach the Skyfire Domain Geniuses and demanded they hold off the three commanders so he could escape.
• The Geniuses recognized Fan Tian’s plan and chose to keep fighting the Vast Origin Realm forces rather than waste time attacking him.
• As Fan Tian began a long-distance teleportation, the Geniuses vanished from the battlefield, and Fan Tian’s talisman continued gathering energy.
• Ning Qi revealed that he had teleported the Geniuses to safety, then reversed Fan Tian’s teleportation as Fei Bing, Hua Jieyu, and Qiu Daoyu closed in.
• Fan Tian’s figure became solid again, and he cried out in terror, asking why he was still there.

Ning Qi rescued the True Martial World reincarnators from the three domain armies, then stole Node Pearls across the Central Domain while the Vast Origin Realm forces fought among themselves. Twenty Dao Harmonization Realm experts arrived under Xue Shidi, who began interrogating the captured commanders by draining Jin Duanshan’s blood and soul.

• Ning Qi stopped Fan Tian’s teleportation, secretly gathered the True Martial World reincarnators, and left Fan Tian to be captured by Fei Bing, Hua Jieyu, and Qiu Daoyu.
• Ning Qi teleported to the Earth Metal and Vine Wood armies, rescued their True Martial World reincarnators, and returned nearly three hundred of them to Qin Minghao in the Profound Truth Domain.
• Fei Bing, Hua Jieyu, and Qiu Daoyu captured Jin Duanshan and Mu Zhutian after the armies of the three domains were defeated, then found no Nodes in the surrounding area.
• Ning Qi revealed that he had removed the Node Pearls from northern Central Domain Nodes, preventing the Vast Origin Realm forces from locating or claiming them.
• Twenty Dao Harmonization Realm experts descended through a Spatial Passage, led by Xue Shidi, the Sage Ancestor’s disciple.
• Xue Shidi questioned the captured commanders, drained Jin Duanshan’s blood and soul, and discovered that he knew nothing about Ning Qi.

Xue Shidi’s force captured Fan Tian and Mu Zhutian after killing Jin Duanshan, then chose to use the captives to locate Ning Qi and disrupt the Mountain and Sea Realm. Meanwhile, Jin Guanghua, Fan Cheng, and Mu Qingtian learned their sons’ fates from the Mountain and Sea Realm Will, and Fan Cheng blamed Ning Qi.

• Xue Shidi devoured Jin Duanshan’s blood, Primordial Spirit, and memories, then destroyed his body.
• Fan Tian and Mu Zhutian offered to lead Xue Shidi’s force to Ning Qi’s army, and Wu Xu proposed using them to undermine the Mountain and Sea Realm.
• Xue Shidi chose Wu Xu’s plan, while Jin Guanghua learned that his son had died and summoned Fan Cheng and Mu Qingtian.
• Fan Cheng summoned the Mountain and Sea Realm Will, which revealed that Jin Duanshan was dead and Fan Tian and Mu Zhutian had been captured by twenty self-severed Dao Harmonization experts.
• The Mountain and Sea Realm Will explained how Ning Qi’s actions had shaped the war, and Fan Cheng vowed to make Ning Qi pay if his son was not rescued.

Ning Qi used his main body’s growing perception and power to seize the Nodes surrounding the Vast Origin Realm’s forces, then lured Xue Shidi and nineteen Dao Harmonization cultivators into a trap. The Mountain and Sea Realm Will descended around them, leaving them scrambling to escape rather than pursue Ning Qi.

• Ning Qi’s main body sensed the twenty self-severed Dao Harmonization cultivators entering the Central Domain and sent information to his Reincarnated Body.
• Ning Qi’s Reincarnated Body reviewed the armies’ positions and devised a plan after seeing that Xue Shidi’s group might target him or threaten his allies.
• Xue Shidi’s group freed Fan Tian and Mu Zhutian and ordered them to lead the way to Ning Qi.
• Ning Qi activated a Node and used a Void Shadow of himself and an Altar to lure Xue Shidi’s group into attacking; Wu Xu recognized the deception, but their attack triggered the Mountain and Sea Realm Will’s descent.
• Two more Purple Star Beams appeared behind and beside Xue Shidi’s group, revealing that Ning Qi had seized all three surrounding Nodes and trapped them within the descending Will’s territory.

Ning Qi activated three Nodes, summoning the Mountain and Sea Realm Will to suppress the Vast Origin Realm army, and killed Fan Tian and Mu Zhutian after they tried to invoke their fathers' authority. He then confronted Xue Shidi and the other Self-Severed Dao Integration cultivators, overpowering their attacks as they struggled to escape.

• Ning Qi activated three Nodes, causing the Mountain and Sea Realm Will to descend and force the Vast Origin Realm army to the ground while restoring Fan Tian and Mu Zhutian's strength.
