"Has the Mountain and Sea Realm truly fused with Ning Qi’s domain?"
The Vast Realm Will made this inquiry to the newly manifested Mountain and Sea Realm Will.
Sensing the Saint Ancestor’s hesitation to speak directly, the Vast Realm Will took the initiative to pose the question.
"Are you doubting this? Have you not witnessed my presence?"
While exhibiting a degree of deference towards Ning Qi, the Mountain and Sea Realm Will displayed less courtesy toward the Vast Realm Will and the Saint Ancestor’s avatar, two former adversaries.
Upon his arrival, he surveyed the surroundings with a relaxed demeanor, swiftly grasping the prevailing circumstances.
"Tsk, tsk, that Haoshan fellow was truly merciless to reduce the Vast Realm to such a state! Fortunately, I no longer need to concern myself with such matters."
The Saint Ancestor’s avatar and the Vast Realm Will exchanged a wry smile, appearing unburdened and safe, yet their curiosity intensified.
The Saint Ancestor’s avatar proposed, "Ning, let us commence the integration of the Vast Realm into the True Martial Spirit Realm."
Ning Qi offered a slight shake of his head. "First, you should accompany me into the True Martial Spirit Realm to observe."
Upon hearing this, both readily agreed with a simultaneous, "Alright!"
Thus, Ning Qi activated the spatial passage, instantly transporting the three individuals into the True Martial Spirit Realm.
The vast expanse of the True Martial Spirit Realm had already surpassed its former state as the Mountain and Sea Realm, and consequently, it dwartfed the Vast Realm. It remained in a state of evolution, yet to fully assimilate the essence of the Mountain and Sea Realm.
As they arrived within the True Martial Spirit Realm, the Saint Ancestor’s avatar and the Vast Realm Will experienced a momentary blurring of their vision.
The sheer velocity of their transit astonished them both.
"Ning, is it genuinely possible to traverse between two realms with such rapidity?"
The protracted conflict within the Spirit Realm had seen the establishment of a connection between the Vast Realm and the Mountain and Sea Realm take an immeasurable duration.
Now, Ning Qi had conveyed them instantaneously to the True Martial Spirit Realm, a feat far exceeding the capabilities of any teleportation array.
Ning Qi stroked his chin thoughtfully. "I neglected to mention that I have already established a link between the True Martial Spirit Realm and the Vast Realm. Furthermore, my unique presence here facilitates their complete integration."
The revelation left both of them in a state of profound shock.
Their gazes fixed upon Ning Qi, an unparalleled sense of astonishment welled within their hearts.
What secrets had Ning Qi been concealing? He had managed to mask his method of connecting the True Martial Spirit Realm with the Vast Realm from all observers.
The Mountain and Sea Realm Will stood beside Ning Qi, mirroring his gesture by stroking his own chin as he murmured:
"Indeed, the current speed is terrifying compared to when you first entered the Mountain and Sea Realm and merged it with the True Martial Spirit Realm."
He had personally assisted Ning Qi earlier, participating in the relocation of the Mountain and Sea Realm.
At that time, Ning Qi had not yet acquired the Seed of Jianmu, and the True Martial Spirit Realm lacked sufficient strength, making the entire undertaking feel akin to ants moving a colossal structure.
However, the situation had dramatically changed; the True Martial Spirit Realm had now ascended to become a titan within the Sea of Realms, and Ning Qi possessed the Seed of Jianmu, capable of absorbing World Power.
With the combined might of these forces, the acceleration of the process was inevitable.
After all, the Mountain Ancestor had effortlessly breached the core of the Vast Realm using a mere branch of the Seed of Jianmu, pilfering the True Copy of the Ancient Path Sacred Map.
Ning Qi, however, wielded the entirety of the Seed of Jianmu, an enhanced version that had merged with the Enlightenment Realm Tree. This empowerment now granted him virtually unrestricted passage through any Spirit Domain.
Following Ning Qi's explanation, the Saint Ancestor’s avatar and the Vast Realm Will turned their attention inward, focusing on the interior of the True Martial Spirit Realm.
Perceiving the abundant Spiritual Qi and the pervasive Power of Rules within, coupled with the sight of all beings entering a state of enlightenment while practicing, they were struck by even greater astonishment.
What bewildered them further was the palpable sensation of their own powers resonating within the True Martial Spirit Realm!
"This is truly an immaculate land, perfectly suited for cultivation!"
Utterly enthralled by the True Martial Spirit Realm, the Saint Ancestor’s avatar could not suppress his exclamation.
The Vast Realm Will offered a concurring nod.
The Saint Ancestor’s avatar posed one final, crucial question: "Ning, after my Vast Realm is integrated with your True Martial Spirit Realm, will Zhili and I still retain command over our respective forces?"
Ning Qi indicated several designated areas within the True Martial Spirit Realm. "Naturally, you shall."
"Observe in that direction; those sectors have been designated and arranged according to the original Spirit Domain configuration of the Mountain and Sea Realm, intended for the Sea Ancestor’s administration."
It was only natural that the Mountain and Sea Realm Will would make some concessions, relinquishing its position as Realm Venerable but continuing to serve as the guardian spirit of that region!
The two individuals conferred another glance at the Mountain and Sea Realm Will, to find no trace of dejection on his features; in fact, he appeared quite content with the arrangement Ning Qi had proposed.
Ning Qi had laid out his reasoning with such impeccable clarity that the Saint Ancestor's avatar and the Vast Realm Will found themselves entirely at ease, their doubts completely dispelled.
"Very well, from this moment forward, we shall align ourselves with the True Martial Spirit Realm and pledge our service to you as Realm Venerable!"
The Saint Ancestor's avatar adopted a grave expression and, with a slight tug at Zhili's arm, they both offered a respectful bow to Ning Qi.
Ning Qi promptly stepped forward to help them up.
"My approach differs from that of the Mountain Ancestor; I do not seek absolute dominion. In the days ahead, the entirety of the True Martial Spirit Realm will depend on your wisdom and assistance in its governance."
Hearing these words, a sense of relief washed over them, easing their apprehensions further.
"With how you treat us, we are naturally filled with immense gratitude. Let us commence without delay, for I fear the Vast Realm may not endure much longer!"
Ning Qi responded with a serene smile, conveying reassurance. "Worry not, as long as I stand vigilant, the destruction of the Vast Realm shall not continue."
He instantly transported them from the confines of the True Martial Spirit Realm back into the expanse of the Vast Realm.
"It would be prudent for the two of you to preemptively disseminate this decision to all inhabitants of the Vast Realm, thereby averting any potential misunderstandings regarding our objectives. With your unified cooperation and that of all sentient beings, I can swiftly integrate the Vast Realm into the True Martial Spirit Realm."
Upon receiving this directive, the pair immediately exerted their remaining influence, subtly conveying their future plans to every corner of the Vast Realm.
Across the Vast Realm, a profound shock rippled through all living beings as the news of these developments reached their ears.
