However, the Saint Ancestor and Sea Ancestor found themselves with no spare moments for further contemplation, compelled to unleash their full might against their adversaries. Though an apparition bearing a striking resemblance to the Mountain Ancestor’s true form materialized within Buzhou Mountain, their collective spirits lifted; a significant portion of the mounting pressure eased simply by the addition of another Ning Qi to their ranks!
...
Ning Qi materialized within the Sea of Realms. A shroud of gray mist spontaneously embraced him, fitting him like a spectral garment. Behind Ning Qi, the very space of the cave he had just inhabited was silently consumed by an unseen force, vanishing into nothingness. The final vestige of the Vast Realm thus dissolved from the Sea of Realms. It was as if the entire Vast Realm had never been, erased from existence without a trace. Ning Qi’s gaze settled upon the imposing, ethereal silhouette of Buzhou Mountain. Despite its translucent appearance, it existed in a state straddling the boundary between the material and the spectral. At that precise juncture, Buzhou Mountain abruptly darkened, its light instantaneously extinguished. It seemed to meld entirely into the Sea of Realms, much like Ning Qi himself, its presence becoming imperceptible without meticulous scrutiny. Ning Qi’s eyes narrowed slightly, keenly observing the myriad transformations unfolding. "You two must persevere a little longer; I shall return to the True Martial Realm to assess the situation," he declared. With those words, a vortex materialized around Ning Qi, silently drawing him into its depths.
True Martial Spirit Realm. Ning Qi’s form reappeared within the True Martial Realm. He proceeded directly to the Inner World, intending to reunite with his primary self. The Saint Ancestor’s avatar, along with the Wills of the Vast and Mountain and Sea Realms, had congregated there. Upon witnessing Ning Qi’s return, the assembled figures experienced a moment of surprised astonishment. "Kid, just how many avatars do you possess? Don’t tell me you have even more scattered elsewhere?" The Saint Ancestor’s avatar, ironically an avatar himself, couldn’t refrain from a wry complaint. This marked the third distinct Ning Qi he had encountered, compelling him to engage in constant speculation. The Wills of both the Vast Realm and the Mountain and Sea Realm harbored identical thoughts. They had been guided into the True Martial Spirit Realm by an avatar of Ning Qi, condensed from his vital blood, only to discover another Ning Qi already present within the True Martial Realm. This particular Ning Qi was the actual Master of the True Martial Realm, diligently overseeing the integration of the True Martial Spirit Realm with the Vast and Mountain and Sea Realms. Now, as Ning Qi’s three distinct forms converged into a singular entity, his aura became even more profound and inscrutable, rendering it impossible for them to ascertain its true nature. Ning Qi replied simply, "There are truly no more." The trio exchanged glances, shaking their heads in a mixture of disbelief and resignation. The Saint Ancestor’s avatar let out a sigh, "Kid, I have a premonition that my true form is in grave peril. Could you perhaps lend some assistance?" Ning Qi let out a soft chuckle, "You two are the preeminent experts of your respective realms; what is the harm in holding out a bit longer? Must the younger generation be perpetually denied a moment's rest?" Hearing this, they couldn't help but let out laughter tinged with various emotions. Indeed, Ning Qi’s words held undeniable truth; his age did not even constitute a fraction of theirs. In comparison, Ning Qi was practically an infant. Ning Qi gestured with his hand, and instantaneously, the void before them unfurled like a screen, projecting a comprehensive, real-time vista. The scene displayed the intricate landscape within the True Martial Spirit Realm. It encompassed everything from the True Martial Immortal Sect to the original domain of the True Martial Spirit Realm below, extending to the merged Spirit Domains resulting from the later incorporation of the Mountain and Sea Realm, and finally culminating in the integration of the Vast Realm. The entirety of the territory and the Spirit Domains within the True Martial Spirit Realm had expanded to an astonishing, unprecedented scale. In sheer volume, it was equivalent to the size of three distinct Spirit Realms. Furthermore, through Ning Qi’s profound comprehension of the Power of Two Realms, this advanced stage of fusion had significantly amplified his experience, deepening his insight into the path of a Realm Master. He had already formulated his own unique cultivation method for a Realm Master, diligently progressing until reaching Perfection of the Rule Realm, and had now encountered a significant impediment. Previously, the entire True Martial Realm was merely a nascent world, not even qualifying as a true Spirit Realm. Subsequently, despite Ning Qi’s own advancement in realm elevating it to a Spirit Realm, it remained comparatively underdeveloped when juxtaposed with the Mountain and Sea and Vast Realms. It was only after his assimilation of the Power of Two Realms and his direct involvement in their partition and integration into the True Martial Spirit Realm that Ning Qi once again discovered a clear pathway for the Realm Master cultivation system. However, he intended to revisit the cultivation techniques of the Saint Ancestor and Sea Ancestor once the True Martial Spirit Realm had been fully stabilized, prior to commencing the enhancement of his own Realm Master system. Should he manage to acquire the authentic Ancient Path Sacred Map, a wealth of more profound avenues would become available to him as reference templates.
To achieve all of this, the defeat of the Mountain Ancestor and the resolution of Buzhou Mountain's illusory shadow were, of course, prerequisites.
Ning Qi's gaze traveled towards the unfolding spectacle before him.
The True Martial Spirit Realm, now seamlessly integrated with the two other realms, had encountered no discord whatsoever.
The Wills of the realms, their inherent laws, and even their inhabitants exhibited no opposition, allowing for a smooth and cooperative fusion of the True Martial Spirit Realm with the other two.
This integration of the three realms was no mere haphazard assembly.
Utilizing the former domain of the True Martial Spirit Realm as a base, Ning Qi meticulously reorganized the Spirit Domains, elevating the overall might of the True Martial Spirit Realm to an unprecedented level.
As an illustration, Ning Qi consolidated the seas of the two realms into the Sea of the True Martial Realm, subsequently rearranging the islands dedicated to cultivation within its expanse.
Furthermore, the mountains from the two realms were incorporated into the original mountain ranges of the True Martial Realm.
These serpentine mountain ranges, resembling slumbering dragons, formed ninety-nine principal ranges that stretched across the continent.
Ninety-nine mountain ranges were established in harmony with ninety-nine water sources, fostering a coexistence of mountain dragons and water dragons.
Ning Qi acted much like a Feng Shui grandmaster in the realm of immortal cultivation, reconfiguring the True Martial Spirit Realm in accordance with the principles of the Array Path.
Beyond the geographical features of the two realms, Ning Qi strategically positioned numerous Immortal Sects from both territories into environments most conducive to their existence.
For instance, cultivators possessing fire-attribute spiritual roots and Immortal Cultivation Sects specializing in fire-based Dharma Methods were situated near a volcano's dragon vein, adjacent to a river of flowing lava.
These sects became part of the unique pathways found within the ninety-nine mountain and water dragon veins.
Countless other examples mirrored this principle: cultivators with water, metal, wood, or earth attributes, as well as sword cultivators and blade cultivators, were placed in locales that perfectly suited their elemental or martial inclinations.
Ning Qi even undertook the task of redesigning the fortuitous lands, ensuring each was tailored to the specific cultivation realm and its corresponding location.
Abundant springs, rich with Spiritual Qi, were made available for Primordial Spirit cultivators.
Designated zones, governed by specific rules, were set aside for cultivators of the Primordial Spirit and Rule Realms.
Lakes imbued with the essence of Three Realm Rules, essentially merging the laws of three distinct realms, were created, allowing Harmonization stage cultivators to immerse themselves and achieve rebirth into a perfectly Harmonized body.
Ning Qi even deposited the residual Celestial Tribulation thunder sphere from his Four-Nine Celestial Tribulation trial within the bounds of the True Martial Spirit Realm.
Now, any cultivator within the three merged realms of the True Martial Spirit Realm, provided they possessed the will, had the opportunity to challenge the Celestial Tribulation Trial!
Those who successfully passed this trial would earn the recognition of the True Martial Spirit Realm, forging a unique body imbued with tribulation lightning!
Concurrently, Ning Qi did not obliterate the distinct identities of cultivators originating from the Vast Realm and the Mountain and Sea Realm.
He resolved to permit Saint Ancestor and Sea Ancestor to continue guiding the cultivators of their respective realms, facilitating their gentle assimilation into the True Martial Spirit Realm.
Ning Qi was convinced that the inclusion of cultivators from the two realms would foster a vibrant competition with the native inhabitants of the True Martial Spirit Realm, ultimately benefiting their collective development.
Naturally, Ning Qi would occasionally zoom into specific scenes, observing the reactions of the cultivators from the two realms.
They discovered that hardly any harbored reluctance towards merging into the True Martial Spirit Realm; upon entering, they found it to be akin to the Immortal Realm itself.
Previously, cultivators from the two realms progressed according to archaic traditions, and their individual paths were largely dictated by chance.
The majority of cultivators found themselves in this situation; it was not every cultivator who could join the most suitable sect, acquire the most fitting Dharma Method or resources, let alone benefit from the collective insights of all cultivators awakened by the Enlightenment Realm Tree within the True Martial Realm.
Now, with the unification of the three realms, Ning Qi wielded the Power of Three Realms to profoundly transform the True Martial Spirit Realm, essentially forging an ideal world for cultivation and systematically removing every impediment for its practitioners.
Consequently, upon entering the True Martial Realm, despite some initial unease and resistance stemming from the environmental shifts, their disposition underwent a profound change once they were settled by Ning Qi.
Good heavens, what sort of perfect land for cultivation is this? Even if given the chance to return to their original, intact Spirit Realm, they would never agree to it.
This sentiment was not exclusive to them; the Saint Ancestor's Avatar, positioned alongside Ning Qi, as well as the Wills of the Vast and Mountain and Sea Realms, all shared this very thought.
What Mountain and Sea or Vast Realm? The True Martial Spirit Realm is my home now!
