• Ning Qi’s true body reached the Profound Truth Domain near the Moon Sea Immortal Sect and found the Mountain and Sea Realm in ruins, especially the lands under Mountain Ancestor’s control.

Ning Qi returned to the Mountain and Sea Realm during its catastrophic collapse and used his power to calm the disasters around the Profound Truth Domain.

Ning Qi followed the Mountain and Sea Realm Will through the Sea Eye and discovered the Sea Ancestor’s hidden prison, where she had gathered World Sea Ferocious Beasts to cultivate their power. They reached a mysterious world guarded by patterns that were not ordinary formations, and the Mountain and Sea Realm Will urged Ning Qi to try the key from the Sea Ancestor’s inheritance.

• Ning Qi and the Mountain and Sea Realm Will descended into the Sea Eye, where Ning Qi felt Boundary Sea-like cold until he switched to World Sea Power.
• Ning Qi saw the Sea Ancestor’s prison, filled with roughly a thousand World Sea Ferocious Beasts whose strength ranged from Integrated Body Early Stage to beyond Dao Harmonization Perfection.
• The Mountain and Sea Realm Will activated the giant starfish beneath the prison, and the creatures’ power gathered into a lotus bud that transported them to a bright, unfamiliar space.
• Ning Qi found that the changing patterns blocking his descent were not ordinary Array Inscriptions, though he could not identify what they were.
• Ning Qi tested the patterns with his Realm Power and World Sea Power; the patterns consumed the former and rejected the latter, so the Mountain and Sea Realm Will told him to use the key from the Sea Ancestor’s inheritance.

Ning Qi opened the Barrier with the Sea Ancestor’s key and learned that a treasure inside was the true body of the Fragmented Leaf, alongside the Mountain and Sea Realm Will’s sealed main will. Despite the risk that he could be trapped as a fellow World Will, Ning Qi entered with the Mountain and Sea Realm Will and found a decaying patch of land surrounding a tiny sapling, only to be stopped by another barrier.

The Mountain and Sea Realm Will explained that Hao Shan’s impatience to attain immortality had led to the Spirit Realm War.
