Chapter 332: Kill Order
Mountain Ancestor and Sea Ancestor heard the speech of the attendant beside them, and the light in their eyes clearly changed on their eternally unchanging faces.
Among the twenty-seven realms in the War Domain, currently only the realm where Ning Qi is located can swiftly crush Vast Righteous Realm cultivators.
The two ancestors had previously thought that the Mountain Sea Realm cultivators inside were stronger, but the obtained information was completely the opposite.
“Interesting!”
Mountain Ancestor rarely praised.
Xuanzhen Domain, Fuyao Region, and Langya Domain, these three spiritual realms within the Mountain Sea Realm, all fall under Mountain Ancestor’s jurisdiction.
However, they are too remote, so Mountain Ancestor rarely inquires about them.
But now these three remote spiritual realms have achieved remarkable feats in the War Domain, so how could Mountain Ancestor not pay more attention.
His spiritual sense instantly established contact with the Mountain Sea Realm Will, inquiring about the specific situation in the lower region of the Southeast War Realm.
The focus was on who exactly could lead the army to kill all the Vast Righteous Realm cultivators.
Not long after, he received a response from the Mountain Sea Realm Will.
“This person is the newly promoted Domain Lord of Xuanzhen Domain, named Ning Qi, with extremely excellent talent.”
Mountain Ancestor was slightly stunned and said, “You mean Xuanzhen Domain has a new Domain Lord? I remember Xuanzhen Domain has always been in a state of division.”
The Mountain Sea Realm Will replied, “You are busy with cultivation, how would you pay attention to these matters.”
Its tone shifted, and it continued, “Xuanzhen Domain has reemerged precisely because of that Ning Qi, and thus I granted him the position of Domain Lord.”
Mountain Ancestor nodded and suddenly asked curiously, “Show me this person’s life history. Someone you call extremely talented must be extraordinary.”
The Mountain Sea Realm Will immediately transmitted Ning Qi’s life history in Xuanzhen Domain to Mountain Ancestor, including everything from Ning Qi’s birth to entering the War Domain.
All people born in the Mountain Sea Realm, as long as the Mountain Sea Realm Will wants to query their experiences, can easily do so, just like Ning Qi’s main body in the True Martial Realm.
As for Ning Qi’s intelligence in the War Domain, in this place where the wills of two realms and three kinds of energy are mixed, it can only probe the places covered by its will, so it is not as precise about Ning Qi’s movements as within the Mountain Sea Realm.
Mountain Ancestor browsed Ning Qi’s life history in his spiritual sense.
It was fine not browsing, but upon browsing now, even he was astonished.
“This kind of talent is called extremely excellent? Why didn’t you inform me earlier of such a prodigy’s existence? Moreover, he reached Integration Perfection before the age of two hundred?”
Mountain Ancestor, who is no longer swayed by ordinary matters, actually asked three questions in a row, clearly Ning Qi’s life history was indeed extremely attractive to him!
The Mountain Sea Realm Will rarely responded to him; as a World Venerable, could the information it provided be false?
Although he did not receive a response from the Mountain Sea Realm Will, Mountain Ancestor was not annoyed.
With his strength, reading the information given by a World Venerable could be thoroughly completed in an instant.
But now his spiritual sense scanned those materials multiple times, reading them with great interest and extreme care, as if discovering some treasure.
Meanwhile, Mountain Ancestor’s facial expression shifted, his stern iron-like demeanor softened slightly, and a smile appeared on his face.
The cultivator attending him nearby saw this and could not help but feel giant waves surging in his heart.
He did not understand what exactly had happened to make the number one expert of the Mountain Sea Realm reveal such an expression.
Mountain Ancestor browsed the life history several times and finally set it aside, his spiritual sense continuing to say to the Mountain Sea Realm Will:
“The Mountain Sea Realm actually has such a prodigy, truly deserving of the name immortal seed. However, how can such a prodigy be left wandering outside?”
He pondered slightly and continued:
“Send an order to Ning Qi, inform him that as long as he captures more territory in the War Domain for us, I will take him as my disciple!”
“You also want to take him as your disciple?” the Mountain Sea Realm Will suddenly asked.
Mountain Ancestor’s expression changed, “What do you mean by that, could it be…”
The Mountain Sea Realm Will laughed, “That’s right, your junior sister already had me tell Ning Qi first!”
Upon hearing this, Mountain Ancestor was displeased and said, “Isn’t she being ridiculous? Ning Qi comes from Xuanzhen Domain, a cultivator under my jurisdiction, how could it be her turn to take him as a disciple?”
The Mountain Sea Realm Will continued, “She said that if she can’t have him, she would rather destroy Ning Qi than let you get him!”
The junior sister mentioned by the Mountain Sea Realm Will was precisely Sea Ancestor.
When Mountain Ancestor and Sea Ancestor were young, they studied under the same teacher.
Both were prodigies with astonishing talent, and now, after countless years, they have become the two ancestors in the Mountain Sea Realm.
They do not see eye to eye with each other and are always in competition over everything.
Mountain Ancestor said hatefully, “Crazy woman, I absolutely cannot let her succeed, we’ll see about that!”
Suddenly, he asked the Mountain Sea Realm Will again, “Which side are you on?”
The Mountain Sea Realm Will snorted coldly, “Enough, I stand with neither of you two, as long as it doesn’t affect capturing the Vast Righteous Realm, you can fight however you want.”
……
Mountain Ancestor’s divine eyes suddenly pierced through the Mountain Sea Realm, looking toward the south.
There, a similar gaze was watching him.
Their gazes seemed to cross countless spaces, once again locking onto each other.
Both saw in each other’s gaze a spark that would never be extinguished.
It was as if both were saying, “Ning Qi is mine!”
……
After one glance, Mountain Ancestor and Sea Ancestor once again cast their gaze toward the War Domain.
Unlike other people in the Mountain Sea Realm, the two ancestors have cultivation reaches the divine, and they are in an equal relationship with the Mountain Sea Realm Will.
They can borrow the power of the Mountain Sea Realm Will to perceive the overall situation of the entire War Domain.
In the eyes of other cultivators, the War Domain is a battlefield of life and death, but in the eyes of the two ancestors, it is merely a chessboard, a map.
The Spirit Realm War opened, and this map created out of thin air was originally a blank slate.
But as pieces enter and desperately fight and contend, colors are painted onto the map.
The Southeast War Realm that Ning Qi and others are about to fully occupy has now quietly been coated with a color of blue-green intermingled, representing that the Mountain Sea Realm Will is continuously occupying that realm.
The color of the Vast Righteous Realm is a faint gold.
On the entire map, most places are dotted with colors, but only the realm where Ning Qi is located has a large swath of blue-green color.
……
The ones similarly paying attention to this map are naturally existences like Mountain Ancestor and Sea Ancestor.
Within the Vast Righteous Realm.
Inside the Vast Righteous Immortal Sect, on a special immortal peak, an elder who appeared extremely ordinary had at some point stopped the brush in his hand.
He suddenly raised his head to look toward the War Domain, divine light flashing in his eyes, instantly diluting that ordinary feeling and adding a demeanor of immortal bearing and Taoist grace.
This person was precisely the strongest Saint Ancestor of the Vast Righteous Realm.
No one attended Saint Ancestor; he preferred quiet solitude and was fond of calligraphy and painting, always immersed in creation.
Only occasionally, when lacking inspiration, would he hold a selection of calligraphy and painting, recruiting cultivators from the entire Vast Righteous Realm to accompany him in creation.
Sometimes it was a calligraphy dragon ink competition, sometimes a danqing immortal garden scene, sometimes both held simultaneously.
Suddenly, Saint Ancestor gazed at the War Domain occupied by Ning Qi and murmured to himself:
“I remember that in that War Domain, the three regions’ cultivators from the Vast Righteous Realm who entered should be from Shenfeng Domain, Hundred Beasts Domain, and Spirit Bird Domain, right?”
“And Heavenly Secrets Pavilion once divined that those entering from the Mountain Sea Realm should be cultivators from the trailing spiritual realms, so why didn’t they take that realm, but instead it was taken by Mountain Sea Realm cultivators? Strange, strange!”
Suddenly, a voice came from beside him.
“Teacher, in that War Domain, there is a terrifying prodigy from the enemy side. If not killed as soon as possible, the War Domain passage will be seized by the Mountain Sea Realm one step ahead for a bridgehead!”
That voice was extremely ethereal; if there were outsiders, they would not be able to hear it at all, only Saint Ancestor could perceive it.
“You are absolutely right. In the clash of two armies, one step ahead leads to being ahead in every step; we absolutely cannot take it lightly!”
After the elder finished speaking, he suddenly asked, “The Domain Lord of Shenfeng Domain was a nominal disciple I took in back then; he should have gone to that realm as well, right?”
That ethereal voice replied, “Kuang Shan Qing received your kindness to become Domain Lord, and he happens to be at Integration Realm, so naturally he had to enter!”
“Could it be that he hasn’t encountered the other side yet, or has he already perished?”
Seeing the color on that War Domain gradually being completely replaced by blue-green, Saint Ancestor slightly narrowed his eyes.
“No, he absolutely could not have not encountered the other side yet. In the moment of life and death, did he not even bring out the painting I gave him back then?”
The elder asked, “Did you see their battle clearly?”
Suddenly, the voice conversing with him fell silent for a moment, and only after a good while did it say:
“I’m sorry, Teacher. As the Vast Righteous Realm Will, I did not see their battle. The place where they fought seems to be a special location within the War Domain. Teacher, you also know that with the War Domain created by the Mountain Sea Realm, it is absolutely impossible for our will to watch everywhere.”
It turned out that the owner of the voice exchanging with the elder was actually the Vast Righteous Realm Will.
And the Vast Righteous Realm Will actually called the elder Teacher, which was extremely strange.
Upon hearing this, Saint Ancestor said, “This is not your fault.”
Then, he asked no more. He spread his right hand, and surprisingly, six pieces of turtle shell appeared out of thin air.
Suddenly, Saint Ancestor tossed the turtle shells, which landed on the ancient wooden table in front of him, immediately forming a divination hexagram.
Saint Ancestor gazed at the divination hexagram, pinching a formula in his hand, and only after a good while did he say, “The three Domain Lords have not completely perished, but they were all taken down by one person.”
His eyes gleamed with sharp light as he continued pinching the formula and said, “My nominal disciple has already used the Wind God Painting I granted him. I never expected that the opponent withstood one strike from me yet still survived. No wonder that War Domain was captured so quickly by the opponent; it turns out a terrifying prodigy appeared among them!”
The Vast Righteous Realm Will asked, “Teacher, what should we do now?”
Saint Ancestor waved his hand, and the six pieces of turtle shell on the table immediately disappeared.
He picked up the brush he had just set down, and a sheet of rice paper automatically floated onto the desk.
Saint Ancestor immediately put brush to paper, writing a single character with bold strokes: “Kill!”
“Pass my order: have them quickly send people to re-enter the War Domain and be sure to kill this person!”
“Yes!”
The Vast Righteous Realm Will beside him replied. It rolled up the “kill” character sticker on the table and swiftly departed.
Saint Ancestor gazed at the War Domain, his gaze piercing through space, as if he could see the Mountain Sea Realm Will.
He murmured, “Although this war was initiated by the Mountain Sea Realm, it will surely be ended by my Vast Righteous Realm!”
……
Within the True Martial Realm.
Ning Qi’s main body had already stepped into Rule Major Accomplishment.
He lowered his gaze toward the entire True Martial Realm. A hundred Rule Origins formed a cycle, and compared to before, the True Martial Realm instantly expanded by more than double due to the gathering of a hundred.
True Martial World beings prostrated in worship, but Ning Qi temporarily ignored them.
He suddenly raised his hand and extended one finger.
A Five Elements Rule Divine Chain immediately released from his fingertip.
The small Rule Divine Chain flickered with Five Elements Divine Light, like a ring of dharma rotating in the air.
Now, although this Five Elements Divine Chain appeared five-colored, Ning Qi had fully integrated the hundred rules into it, arranged by the Five Elements.
Ning Qi flicked his finger, and the Five Elements Divine Chain shot obliquely upward, directly piercing the realm wall of the True Martial Realm and entering the Sea of Realms.
The Five Elements Divine Light floated and sank in the gray Sea of Realms, rapidly absorbing various rules within it to continue condensing Rule Origins for the True Martial Realm.
Ning Qi perceived for a moment and immediately discovered that now, the Five Elements Divine Chain could condense five Rule Origins in a year.
Before his promotion, the Five Elements Divine Chain could condense two Rule Origins in a year and a half, but now this number had more than doubled.
Ning Qi gazed into the void, his gaze seemingly penetrating the realm wall of the True Martial Realm, directly seeing the vast Mountain Sea Realm, the War Domain connected to the Mountain Sea Realm, and the even more distant Vast Righteous Realm.
The two spiritual realms were now connected due to docking, and from afar, they looked like a dumbbell existing in the Sea of Realms.
The True Martial Realm had been shielded by his great mana, so the Mountain Sea Realm had not yet perceived its existence.
Compared to the two spiritual realms, the True Martial Realm, even after expanding again, was naturally still far inferior, but compared to before, it now had clear hope of catching up.
When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits!
Although the True Martial Realm faced a terrifying crisis, it also had an opportunity for rapid promotion.
……
Within the War Domain.
Ning Qi’s reincarnated body hovered in mid-air.
Watching the space he had severed in the War Domain being swiftly squeezed by the adjacent node and disappearing, a strange smile appeared on Ning Qi’s face.
Fight on, fight on; the more intensely the two realms fight like this, the better.
Suddenly, Ning Qi felt a grand energy flowing over from between heaven and earth.
That feeling was already very familiar to him; it was the sign of the Mountain Sea Realm Will descending.
Why would this guy descend without reason? Could it have detected the anomaly here?
It shouldn’t be; he had clearly left some unsevered space to conveniently isolate the two realm wills, so the other side shouldn’t be able to detect it!
This thought flashed through Ning Qi’s mind, and he instantly vanished from the spot, quickly arriving near a node.
No matter what, the other side seemed to be coming toward him; he had to figure it out.
Without time to sense the changes in the reincarnated body after his main body promoted to Rule Realm, Ning Qi instantly tore through space and emerged, arriving near a node occupied by his army under his command.
As soon as he appeared, in the sky above, an extremely grand will instantly manifested.
“Domain Lord Ning!”
“I wonder what instructions the World Venerable has?”
Ning Qi quickly arrived below the node, cupping his hands and asking, while concealing his own aura even more thoroughly.
The Mountain Sea Realm Will swept over Ning Qi but did not notice the change in Ning Qi’s aura, nor did it probe deeply.
Instead, it said, “Domain Lord Ning, this venerable has come this time to inform you of a major piece of news!”
“Please speak, World Venerable!” Ning Qi said.
Perhaps because Ning Qi was leading the army to soon capture this War Domain, or perhaps because Ning Qi was valued by Mountain Ancestor and Sea Ancestor.
At this moment, the Mountain Sea Realm Will was quite amiable toward Ning Qi, not at all like its previous attitude.
“You are very fortunate. Because of your performance, Mountain Ancestor and Sea Ancestor both intend to take you as their disciple!”
