Ning Qi examined the boundary wall separating the Central Domain from the Upper Domain, discerning the chaotic energies of the Mountain and Sea Realm, Vast Realm, and Sea of Realms within it, noting the Saint Ancestor's influence on the latter. As the armies of the Three Domains returned under the leadership of the Sword Ancestor, Qi Keqing, and Zhu Yanchuan, Ning Qi opted against a conventional crossing to evade potential ambushes by Vast Realm forces and will. With the Mountain and Sea Seal and the realm will's assistance, he opened a temporary portal, leading everyone through the oppressive tunnel into the unfamiliar Upper Domain. Meanwhile, in the Endless Sea, the Mountain and Sea Realm Will informed the Sea Ancestor of Ning Qi's entry into her war realm, the Sea of Emotions, sparking a tense exchange.

The Sea Ancestor has forever been a fierce rival, clashing with the Mountain Ancestor across endless years.

Although she suffered defeat at the Mountain Ancestor's hands long ago and was forced into the ocean depths, her resolve never wavered, leading her to dominate all four seas within the Mountain and Sea Realm.

These two hadn't encountered each other for ages, yet now, in pursuit of that ultimate breakthrough, empowered by the Mountain and Sea Realm's will, a grand Spirit Realm conflict erupted.

Through the Mountain and Sea Realm's will, both gained sharp insight into every event unfolding in the war domain.

Therefore, upon witnessing the Mountain Ancestor's plan to accept Ning Qi as his disciple, the Sea Ancestor felt a burning urge to claim Ning Qi for herself.

Earlier, she had even commanded the Mountain and Sea Realm will to pass a warning to Ning Qi, declaring that if she couldn't possess it, she'd shatter it before letting others take it!

And at this moment, with the Mountain and Sea Realm will manifesting once more, the Sea Ancestor quickly probed about those earlier events.

"Mountain and Sea, did you send the message as I requested?"

The silhouette of the Mountain and Sea Realm will answered, "How could my essence overlook your concerns?"

The Sea Ancestor gave a nod, her frosty yet breathtakingly lovely countenance easing a bit.

She inquired, "What was Ning Qi's response?"

The Mountain and Sea Realm will chuckled and said, "What response could he possibly give? With you and Haoshan vying to make him your disciple, whom would he risk angering?"

"Is he staying impartial?"

"What choice does he have?"

The Sea Ancestor's frosty azure brows knit together faintly, and she let out a chill snort, "Useless fellow! If he aligns with my lineage, I'll guarantee his safety. Is he scared of that Haoshan brute?"

The Mountain and Sea Realm will remarked, "You say it so casually, yet Ning Qi is a cultivator serving under Haoshan in the Profound Truth Realm. Should he join your side, what fate awaits his sect and his subordinates?"

Hearing this, the Sea Ancestor abruptly shifted her vision toward a particular area in the Mountain and Sea Realm, her gaze piercing straight to the Profound Truth Realm's domain.

"That's no issue at all! I'll seize the Profound Truth Realm from Haoshan immediately!"

With those words, she extended her hand toward the Profound Truth Realm's location.

The Profound Truth Realm lies in the southeast of the Mountain and Sea Realm, bordering the vast sea territories.

As the Sea Ancestor acted, enormous waves abruptly surged from the ocean encircling the Profound Truth Realm.

These waves formed into gigantic palms, each grasping a razor-sharp water edge under immense pressure.

The palms slashed together, the water edges crashing like divine swords, slicing directly at the Profound Truth Realm's borders!

Rumble!

Right then, the Mountain Ancestor atop Heaven-Reaching Peak detected the turmoil in his Spirit Domain beneath.

His steadfast expression twisted into rage, "Sea of Emotions, has that woman lost her mind?"

Long past, their feud splintered them apart, ending direct battles, with rare spats limited to skirmishes between their followers.

Yet now, the foe dared to plunder his domain under Haoshan using immense sorcery; how could Haoshan endure such provocation?

In an instant, the Mountain Ancestor thrust his hand toward the Profound Truth Realm's area.

Over the Profound Truth Realm, a colossal illusion of the mythical Buzhou Mountain materialized, towering one and a half times a Spirit Domain's scale, resembling a heavenly veil that fully enveloped the realm below.

All the water edges clashed against the Buzhou Mountain illusion, unleashing a thunderous impact that reverberated through the emptiness.

Thankfully, as the pair clashed, a barrier of shielding energy formed to contain the spillover, sparing the underlying Spirit Domain and its guardians from instant annihilation.

Within moments, every water edge from the Sea Ancestor splintered apart against the Buzhou Mountain illusion.

High above the Endless Sea, seeing this unfold, the Sea Ancestor rocketed upward.

Fury ignited across her glacial features too; her frost-kissed crimson lips, akin to flawless ripened cherries, parted sharply, exposing pristine white fangs that she gnashed in wrath.

"Haoshan, I refuse to yield to you!"

Close by, the Mountain and Sea Realm will's form shimmered with eager thrill, as though relishing the impending chaos.

It appeared to urge, battle on, clash with all your might!

Across the waters encircling the Profound Truth Realm, tides swelled dramatically, as if the four seas' floods were set to overwhelm the Profound Truth Realm and engulf adjacent Spirit Domains.

Every remaining Unity Realm expert in the Mountain and Sea Realm stared at the sight in shock, their expressions locked in dread.

It's finished; the Sea Ancestor and Mountain Ancestor have ignited their war!

The cultivators still in the Profound Truth Realm paled in fear, utterly baffled by the unfolding crisis.

Why have the two Ancestors picked the Profound Truth Realm as their battlefield?

In their peril, their initial hope turned to Domain Master Ning Qi, but they swiftly dismissed it with a shake of their heads.

Even with the Domain Master here, against the Ancestors' fury, he'd only witness the doom helplessly!

As for Spirit Domains bordering the Profound Truth Realm, such as the Fuyao Realm, their inhabitants fretted in panic, dreading the Ancestors' strife might engulf their lands.

Cyan Profound Immortal Sect.

The Ancestor Si Kongxuan had been grinning with malice moments ago, yearning for the Ancestors' clash to demolish the Profound Truth Realm entirely, sparing him the effort to punish that despised Ning Qi harshly.

But suddenly, he grasped that the Sea Ancestor's assault could ravage their Cyan Profound Immortal Sect too, being nearest to the Profound Truth Realm, and he cast aside his dark schemes.

Still, three others harbored his earlier malice; they were the group of Domain Masters heading back to the Celestial Fire Realm from Fan City.

Though loyal to the Mountain Ancestor, and the Profound Truth Realm his domain, these three secretly wished the Ancestors' duel would erase the Profound Truth Realm, granting them wicked glee.

Lifting their gazes, their Domain Master status let them perceive the clash's vivid details.

The trio beheld, far off, deep azure ocean waters erupting skyward, as if piercing the firmament!
