The Sea Ancestor, long-time rival to the Mountain Ancestor, develops interest in taking Ning Qi as her disciple upon sensing the Mountain Ancestor's intentions. After confirming Ning Qi's neutral stance through the Mountain and Sea Realm will, she launches a bold assault on the Profound Truth Realm with massive water blades from the sea to wrest it away. The Mountain Ancestor swiftly counters with a colossal Buzhou Mountain phantom, shattering the blades and shielding the realm, while surging waters from the four seas threaten to flood the area, instilling fear among nearby cultivators.

This time around, the whole earth shook faintly. Upon the Heaven-Reaching Peak, the Mountain Ancestor raged and couldn't resist swearing, "That insane woman!"

His extended palm, which had been pointing down, gradually turned upward, resembling the act of grasping a pagoda.

Once his movement finished, the terrestrial force erupted suddenly around the Profound Truth Realm and the adjacent spirit domain borders near the ocean. An illusory ocean wall, akin to the Great Wall, ascended dramatically!

Moreover, the ocean wall kept expanding along the shore, appearing to fully block the surging ocean waters.

Massive waves slammed towards the illusory ocean wall.

The solid ocean water collided with the ethereal wall, generating a thunderous roar that echoed without end.

The whole spirit territory by the coast quivered, while the cultivators left on either side were utterly stunned, wholly caught off guard by this occurrence.

They weren't privy to the two ancestors' thoughts, utterly clueless about the sudden clash between the two ancestors.

Not just them, the Mountain Ancestor himself failed to grasp why the Sea Ancestor abruptly targeted the Profound Truth Realm. He dimly suspected it had something to do with Ning Qi.

Yet, Ning Qi merely possessed exceptional talent. Why would that madwoman assault the whole Profound Truth Realm?

Besides, amid the critical clash between the two realms, such internal strife felt completely absurd. Should the Vast Realm discover it, wouldn't they mock them endlessly?

The ocean water kept pounding the ocean wall, unable to breach it.

The two ancestors clashed high in the sky, even though they stood far apart at the north and south ends of the Mountain and Sea Realm. Still, their uproar terrified the cultivators still in the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Every cultivator felt dread yet fixed their gazes unblinkingly on the battle zone.

Right then, the portion of the ocean wall near the Profound Truth Realm appeared abruptly punctured by an unseen force.

The Mountain Ancestor quickly deployed the divine silhouette of Buzhou Mountain to seal the massive gap.

Yet, what he never expected were two rays of light bursting forth, catching even him off guard in speed.

Those two rays promptly sliced off the Profound Truth Realm. The terrain rumbled downward, swiftly pulled from its prior position underneath!

"!!!"

Atop Heaven-Reaching Peak, the Mountain Ancestor's eyes abruptly flew wide.

"What exactly was that gray beam earlier? Did that mad woman devise yet another Forbidden Technique..."

Suddenly, his face twisted oddly, and he refrained from using any power to retrieve the Profound Truth Realm.

By now, the Sea Ancestor had managed to capture the Profound Truth Realm and chose not to press the fight against the Mountain Ancestor further.

Along the shore, the fearsome ocean waters withdrew swiftly like an ebbing tide, as though the incident had never occurred!

Within the Fuyao Realm, Sikong Xuan stared at where the Profound Truth Realm once stood, witnessing a shadowy void slowly filling with advancing seawater.

In that instant, his emotions swirled in intricate layers: joy, terror, and reverence...

The Mountain Ancestor obviously noticed the gaping void in his territory, like the once-linked spirit domains had been gnawed out, forming a noticeable hollow.

He sensed some shame, outwitted by the Sea Ancestor before countless onlookers.

The Mountain Ancestor flicked his wrist, and where the Profound Truth Realm had been, earthly essence flowed, promptly forming new ground.

He genuinely possessed the power to forge continents!

Regrettably, even after restoration, it wasn't the Profound Truth Realm anymore!

He peered over the Endless Sea, his sight piercing the emptiness, as if beholding the victorious and faintly deranged look on the Sea Ancestor's stunningly lovely visage.

The Mountain Ancestor narrowed his gaze.

"For the sake of the greater good, I won't keep battling you at this time!"

The Sea Ancestor apparently detected his resolve, replying with a haughty and chilly retort.

"Haoshan, you've been defeated!"

Over the Endless Sea, a landmass abruptly surfaced from the depths, as if buoyed by an invisible force, fully becoming a vast island afloat in the waves.

The Sea Ancestor cast a look at it.

The interior remained unharmed, and her crimson lips curved in a brilliant smile as she addressed the Mountain and Sea Realm Will:

"Make sure to relay to Ning Qi that for the safety of all in the Profound Truth Realm, he should accept my conditions, and henceforth, he's free from Haoshan, placed under this ancestor's safeguard!"

The Mountain and Sea Realm Will's neck quivered, gulping deeply.

A chill ran through his innermost being; this female was growing ever more unhinged!

True enough, better to anger Haoshan than to irk this woman!

"Don't worry, I'll surely pass on your message and warn the cultivators in your territory against clashing with Ning Qi."

"Excellent!"

...

Within the True Martial Realm.

Realm Lord Ning Qi looked towards the Mountain and Sea Realm's direction, his Divine Eyes gleaming intensely.

The True Martial Realm linked to the Mountain and Sea Realm. He had distinctly felt moments ago that an incident unfolded inside the Mountain and Sea Realm, causing the whole domain to quiver lightly.

"What's occurring?"

Though unable to survey broadly, he could stealthily employ the linking channel for a peek.

He channeled realm might to pry open a fissure in the channel, extending to the border between the realms. Then Ning Qi paused.

Similar to peeking at a specter from beneath the bedding, he raised the cover to probe the spirit but kept a thin cloth barrier to view through it.

He had already detected the immense auras of the two ancestors. To evade detection, Ning Qi avoided fully parting the channel and instead caught the final moments of their confrontation.

"What's the matter, have tensions between the two ancestors worsened to the point of direct combat?"

Ning Qi felt briefly perplexed, "No matter, I'll inquire with the Mountain and Sea Realm Will using my reincarnated form later."

With his reincarnated form absent from the Mountain and Sea Realm, he couldn't uncover precise details inside.
