Ning Qi, resonating with the Mountain and Sea Realm, guides the entire Moon Sea Immortal Sect to migrate to the True Martial Realm. The cultivators arrive, finding the new world surprisingly welcoming and filled with divine texts and Dao imprints that accelerate their cultivation. They are astonished to discover that their own unique Daos resonate with the True Martial Realm's environment, making it a paradise for growth.

Ning Qi's gaze fell upon the vast Endless Sea stretching out below him.

With the Profound Truth Realm and the Moon Sea Immortal Sect, established by the Sea Ancestor, now relocated to the True Martial Realm, a sense of reduced caution settled upon him.

His eyes swept across the expanse, noting that approximately forty Spirit Domains still remained scattered across the Endless Sea.

These Spirit Domains, formerly under the command of the Sea Ancestor, also needed to be transplanted into the True Martial Realm.

Consequently, Ning Qi, alongside the Will of the Mountain and Sea Realm, projected their collective domain power towards these remaining Spirit Domains once more.

"Are you not attempting to transport too many this time?" the Will of the Mountain and Sea Realm inquired beside him.

Given his current capabilities, he could only facilitate the transfer of about ten Spirit Domains at once.

However, through their recent coordination, the Will of the Mountain and Sea Realm had discovered a perfect synergy in their combined realm powers, leading to increasingly synchronized teamwork.

At this juncture, Ning Qi unleashed his realm powers, capable of being divided into more than forty equal portions.

Yet, as he had previously deduced, the Will of the Mountain and Sea Realm's own realm power could only be dispersed to manage the transfer of a maximum of ten Spirit Domains.

Despite this, Ning Qi felt confident in his ability to split his realm power into over forty distinct segments!

"Do not fret!" Ning Qi responded with a faint smile, his confidence unwavering.

The Will of the Mountain and Sea Realm could only maintain a posture of skepticism, offering its continued assistance.

In the subsequent moment, more than forty Spirit Domains ascended into the sky simultaneously, hurtling towards the two figures.

The Will of the Mountain and Sea Realm could not resist casting a glance at Ning Qi.

Ning Qi maintained a placid expression, as if the feat were entirely unremarkable.

It was then that the Will of the Mountain and Sea Realm began to comprehend that Ning Qi likely required no assistance whatsoever, capable of achieving such a feat entirely on his own.

Perhaps, Ning Qi had included him in the process to be considerate, allowing him a role in the grand undertaking.

A sense of warmth bloomed unexpectedly within the heart of the Will of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

This young man, possessing such immeasurable gifts, was remarkably thoughtful of others.

Compared to the original Mountain Ancestor and Sea Ancestor, Ning Qi's demeanor was undeniably more admirable.

This distinction wasn't solely based on strength but extended to his attitude towards his subordinates and those of lesser standing.

Indeed, Ning Qi radiated brilliance, much like the sun, bestowing his favor indiscriminately upon all.

As the forty-plus Spirit Domains drew nearer, the cultivators aboard them grasped the unfolding situation.

They had been imploring Ning Qi for salvation, and their moment had unexpectedly arrived.

In unison, they bowed deeply, offering their reverence to Ning Qi.

Ning Qi positioned them above the four seas of the True Martial Realm, allowing them to orbit the Moon Sea Immortal Sect, endeavoring to preserve their original arrangement.

Upon their arrival in the True Martial Realm, the reactions of these individuals mirrored those of the female cultivators from the Moon Sea Immortal Sect.

Their initial apprehension transformed into elation, perceiving the True Martial Realm as a hallowed ground for cultivation, and they immediately commenced their spiritual journeys.

Ning Qi refrained from integrating them directly into the heavens above the True Martial Immortal Sect, unlike the Profound Truth Realm.

After all, they were entities that had once been under the Sea Ancestor's dominion.

It was plausible that, in the future, as the Mountain and Sea Realm completely merged with the True Martial Realm, they might eventually fall under his command.

However, Ning Qi deemed it prudent to allow the Sea Ancestor to continue overseeing them for the time being.

Ning Qi cast his gaze towards the Inner World of the True Martial Realm.

Within its confines, his reincarnation body was diligently studying the legacies left behind by the Mountain and Sea Ancestors.

The Ancient Road Sacred Map and the Sea Ancestor’s Jade Scroll, which floated nearby, had already been comprehended to about two-thirds completion.

It was anticipated that once his true body had fully assimilated the Mountain and Sea Realm from the Mountain Ancestor, his reincarnation body would achieve complete enlightenment of these profound texts.

Ning Qi then turned his attention back towards the Mountain and Sea Realm itself.

Above the residue of the Endless Sea, the remnants of Spirit Domains that had been obliterated during the Spirit Realm Cataclysm still lingered.

As for the distant continent, it had been violently assailed by the combined might of the Mountain Ancestor and Buzhou Mountain, leaving the entire landmass fractured.

Deep ravines scarred its surface, the earth was scorched, and plumes of black smoke ascended like ominous signal fires; the entire continent shuddered, presenting a scene of utter devastation.

Evidently, the Mountain Ancestor remained unaware of the transformations occurring within the Endless Sea.

He was currently occupied, engaged by the Saint Ancestor and Sea Ancestor, which prevented him from attending to matters here.

Ning Qi began to traverse in the direction of the continent, the Will of the Mountain and Sea Realm accompanying him faithfully.

Ning Qi's form moved with incredible speed across the desolate landscape, his dominion power flowing like a gentle breeze over the land. The Will of the Mountain and Sea Realm continued its cooperation, under the mistaken impression that Ning Qi intended to dismantle the Spirit Domains under the Mountain Ancestor's control. However, this was not Ning Qi's true objective. Instead, Ning Qi converted his dominion power into countless threads, carefully gathering all surviving beings on the continent. Using his Divine Technique of Spatial Shifting, he transported them directly into the True Martial Realm. Yet, Ning Qi ensured these individuals remained in a state of unconsciousness, situating them within a designated section of the True Martial Realm. It wasn't a matter of mistrust; rather, Ning Qi lacked the immediate time to oversee their integration into the True Martial Realm's society. Firstly, the explanation required would be excessively troublesome, and secondly, introducing them to an unfamiliar Spirit Realm with its own inhabitants could easily lead to conflict. Thus, Ning Qi opted for a temporary solution: placing the rescued beings in a secluded area, keeping them unconscious until the turmoil of war subsided! Upon Ning Qi's arrival on the continent, nearly all intact Spirit Domains had vanished. The remaining inhabitants, facing the sky, gazed at Ning Qi with profound reverence, their survival contingent on his presence. In their eyes, a desperate yearning for life was evident! Witnessing this spectacle ignited a sense of animosity within Ning Qi towards the Mountain Ancestor. In pursuit of transcending a certain limit, the Mountain Ancestor had callously disregarded the lives of all beings within the Mountain and Sea Realm, viewing them as mere stepping stones for his own advancement. Such transgressions were truly beyond measure! All Ning Qi could do was save as many lives as possible and then confront and halt the Mountain Ancestor. Rumble! Suddenly, a deafening roar accompanied the violent splitting of the entire continent. Massive landmasses began to tear away, ascending towards the rifts in the Mountain and Sea Realm's sky, coalescing into the ethereal phantom of Buzhou Mountain. Witnessing this, Ning Qi astonishingly manifested thousands of avatars, dispersing them across the sky above the continent. This was a critical measure to accelerate the rescue of the beings remaining on the land. High in the heavens, the figures of a thousand bolts of lightning streaked, leaving behind numerous luminous trails. After mere moments, these thousand island avatars converged at a single point, ultimately merging back into Ning Qi's singular form. Ning Qi and the Will of the Mountain and Sea Realm materialized near the boundary breach of the Mountain and Sea Realm. Within the confines of the Mountain and Sea Realm, every living being on the continent had been successfully rescued by Ning Qi and transferred to the True Martial Realm. As for the Endless Sea, the True Martial Realm descended and naturally integrated with its existing waters, with approximately one-third already incorporated. This marked Ning Qi's inaugural, comprehensive immersion into the Mountain and Sea Realm, unexpectedly culminating in such a monumental display. Nevertheless, without the meticulous preparations undertaken by his reincarnation body, Ning Qi doubted his true body could have achieved this feat even with its descent. The reincarnation body had facilitated the transfer of the Mountain and Sea Realm's dominion power, along with Vast Realm power, to his true body in the True Martial Realm for assimilation. It had also absorbed the essence of the Sea of Realms and secured the legacies of the Saint Ancestor and Sea Ancestor, unifying these elements to enable his current effortless control. Now, Ning Qi's objective was to draw the entirety of the shattered Mountain and Sea Realm into the True Martial Realm, preparing for a decisive confrontation with the Mountain Ancestor! Beside him, having reached this location, the weakened form of the Will of the Mountain and Sea Realm appeared unstable in the air. The gravitational pull emanating from the breach was exceptionally formidable; with its remaining strength, simply resisting it proved immensely challenging. Noticing this, Ning Qi placed a hand on its shoulder, channeling a portion of his dominion power. The unstable form of the Will of the Mountain and Sea Realm immediately stabilized. It looked towards Ning Qi once more with profound gratitude, its gaze filled with awe. However, as the critical moment approached to directly confront the Mountain Ancestor, the Will of the Mountain and Sea Realm inquired, "Are you planning to engage in a direct contest of strength with the Mountain Ancestor?" After all, in its perception, the destiny of the fractured Mountain and Sea Realm now rested upon the shoulders of Ning Qi and the Mountain Ancestor. Whichever possessed superior might would ultimately prevail! Thus, it posed this question, tinged with a hint of self-deprecation. The only solace for the Will of the Mountain and Sea Realm was that Ning Qi had at least liberated it from its suppression and secured numerous Spirit Domains of the Mountain and Sea Realm within the True Martial Realm, ensuring its continued existence and a place to reside. "A contest of strength?"

Ning Qi’s head shook as he cast his gaze upon the scenery before him, the vast mountains and flowing rivers stretching into the distance. "That pace is far too sluggish!" The Will of the Mountain and Sea Realm expressed its surprise. "And what is your intention?" Raising his hand, a spectral image of a tree materialized instantly within his grasp. This verdant shadow swayed softly, none other than the very Seed of Jianmu that had once been used to seal the Will of the Mountain and Sea Realm.
