Full level of enlightenment: I achieved Daozu by ascending to the lower realm

Chapter 324 Surrender
Ning Qi flicked his sleeve, and the dust that had risen on the ground below immediately dissipated.

Qi Baishou's body, broken in two, lay amidst the earth and rocks. Even in his dying moments, his wide-open eyes revealed disbelief.

He was the commander of the Hundred Beasts Spirit Realm, yet he died so easily?
The two armies fighting not far away saw Ning Qi kill the Limit Venerable Qi Baishou with a single glance, and most of them trembled uncontrollably.

Who exactly is this great deity?

In the realm of war, where even those who understand the Dao do not appear, there is such a formidable figure.

Zhu Yanchuan, Qiu Dingbang, and Ma Shuangjue were still suspended in the air, staring blankly at Ning Qi, their faces full of astonishment.

When Qi Baishou charged towards Ning Qi earlier, the three of them were a little apprehensive, fearing that Ning Qi wasn't as strong as he seemed.

But now, the three of them stared at Qi Baishou, who was dead beyond any doubt in the pit, their lips twitching, unsure of what to say.

Ning Qi tossed the node bead he had taken from Qi Baishou into his hand, channeling his power into it.

Instantly, the node bead transformed into a purple star that shot straight into the sky and landed on the boundary wall.

A soft purple light fell upon the earth, and the suppressed cultivation levels of all the cultivators from the Mountain and River Realm present immediately recovered by 30%.

Everyone was shocked.

Meanwhile, the opposing army from the Hundred Beasts Spirit Realm had their cultivation suppressed by 30%, and each of them showed signs of panic.

"Qi Baishou has misled us!"

"That damned Qi Baishou! We were the ones who seized the node bead first, but now the enemy cultivators have snatched it away and released it. We're all going to die here!"

"I curse his ancestors for eighteen generations..."

They were filled with rage and cursed Qi Baishou mercilessly!

No matter how harsh the insults, Qi Baishou is dead, and under the illumination of the Heavenly Star, the strength of the two armies has shifted, and the previous gap has been completely leveled!
If the current situation were only this, the cultivators of the Hundred Beasts Spirit Realm would still have the will to fight.

But Ning Qi, who was hovering above their heads, could hold off an entire region's army by himself.

Ning Qi's instant kill of Commander Qi Baishou planted the seed of invincibility in their hearts. His strength was unfathomable, filling them with despair.

Ning Qi looked down at the crowd below.

Purple light bathed him, staining his white robes purple and adding to his mystique.

Zhu Yanchuan and the other two exchanged glances and immediately flew towards Ning Qi, stopping ten meters away from him.

The three men looked respectful, bowed slightly, clasped their hands in a deep bow, and said, "We three juniors thank you for your help, seniors!"

Ning Qi nodded slightly and said, "Get up."

Upon hearing this, the three of them stood up.

All three were renowned figures in the Langya Domain, yet they dared not look directly at Ning Qi, only glancing at him out of the corner of their eyes.

Observing Ning Qi at such close range, apart from his handsome yet unremarkable appearance, the three of them could not sense any fluctuations in his aura at all.

However, they did manage to discern Ning Qi's age. After a quick calculation, the three of them concluded that Ning Qi was no more than two hundred years old!
The three were shocked by the age they had calculated!
The three of them were all over 10,000 years old on average, while Ning Qi was less than 200 years old. How could the three of them not be surprised?

However, in the path of cultivation, age is irrelevant; only strength matters, and those who reach the highest level are given priority.

Qiu Dingbang asked, "May I ask if you are a domain lord, senior?"

He was quick-witted and knowledgeable. After combining all the information he had about Ning Qi, he immediately asked a question.

Ning Qi smiled faintly and said, "Your knowledge is not bad."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yanchuan and Ma Shuangjue immediately understood why Ning Qi dared to travel alone.

Ma Shuangjue asked, "May I ask which domain lord you are, senior?"

"I am the Lord of Xuanzhen Territory."

"The Mysterious Realm?"

The three of them exchanged glances and all saw that the other's pupils were trembling.

Although they were cultivators from the Langya Domain, they also knew a great deal about the surrounding spiritual domains.

The three had previously guessed that Ning Qi was either from the Fuyao Domain or a cultivator from the Baisha Domain, but they never imagined that Ning Qi came from the Xuanzhen Domain.

After all, the Xuanzhen Domain had been divided for hundreds of thousands of years, but before the Spirit Domain War began, there seemed to be a rumor that the Xuanzhen Domain had reappeared.

Therefore, the three of them were extremely surprised when they heard that Ning Qi came from the Xuanzhen Domain.

Zhu Yanchuan also inquired, "May I ask your name, senior?"

"My name is Ning Qi, and I come from the Wuji Sword Sect of the Xuanzhen Domain!"

The three of them were surprised again. Ning Qi was not from the Immortal Sect?
Ning Qi didn't care about the three people's surprise, but said, "Although you don't know me, I know the three of you."

He glanced at the three people in turn and said each of their names.

Upon hearing this, the three were even more shocked, and at the same time felt quite embarrassed.

Compared to Ning Qi, the two sides were far inferior in both strength and intelligence, which made them seem utterly useless.

Zhu Yanchuan said, "It is truly an honor for the three of us juniors to be known by Lord Ning."

Ma Shuangjue and Qiu Dingbang echoed his sentiments.

Ning Qi lowered his gaze, and below, the two armies had resumed their battle.

However, it is now the Langya Domain army that is suppressing the Hundred Beasts Domain army.

While facing their enemies, the cultivators of the Hundred Beasts Domain kept glancing in his direction, clearly afraid that he would make a move.

Ning Qi's actions did not deter Zhu Yanchuan and the other two. Seeing that Ning Qi did not seem to care much about them, the three were not discouraged.

The three said in unison, "We, the three of us, on behalf of the Langya Domain army, swear an oath that as long as Domain Lord Ning can save us, we will honor you as our commander. We wonder if Domain Lord Ning would do us the honor of accepting the position of commander?"

Ning Qi's gaze returned to the three faces, and he said with a playful tone, "You swore oaths to get me to take action, but if I become the commander, aren't you afraid of being blamed by the seniors in your respective immortal sects?"

The three shook their heads repeatedly.

Zhu Yanchuan said, "Now that the cultivators of our Mountain and Sea Realm have entered the War Realm, they are serving as the vanguard in attacking the Vast Realm, taking the first step to seize the War Realm nodes, and using them as bridgeheads to attack the Vast Realm itself."

"To be honest, our Spirit Realm is relatively weak in the Mountain and Sea Realm. Let alone conquering cities and territories, it is extremely difficult to lead our own army to survive. Therefore, the goal set by the three of us is survival."

“If Lord Ning can lead us to survive, I think the seniors in the sect will accept it. Besides, as a lord, even an ordinary Dao Integration Realm cultivator is no match for you.”

His words were sincere and genuine, and the two people beside him nodded in agreement.

Upon seeing this, Ning Qi felt that these three were more genuine than Qi Keqing.

Their strategy is to survive first. As for the position of commander, even if they want to leave it to the Dao Integration Realm ancestor of the Immortal Sect for the sake of autonomy, what use is the position of commander if they die before they enter the War Realm?

The three looked at Ning Qi expectantly, genuinely wanting him to lead them, the cultivators of Langya Domain.

Moreover, the armies below are still engaged in battle. Although the Langya Domain army has gained the upper hand, it is unknown how long it will take and how many people will die before they can truly defeat the cultivators of the Hundred Beasts Domain.

If Ning Qi were to lead the army and make another move, they could win in an instant!

Faced with the expectant looks from the three, Ning Qi shook his head and said:

"I'm sorry, I have no interest in leading your army. I even gave up the position of commander of the Xuanzhen Domain to a senior member of the sect."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yanchuan and the other two were taken aback.

They then realized that the prestigious position of commander-in-chief was nothing rare for Ning Qi.

The three of them, whose hearts had just settled down, suddenly felt as if they had plummeted to the bottom of a well, wondering how they could keep Ning Qi.

Ning Qi said, "But don't worry, although I won't be the commander, I can still show you the way."

The three immediately bowed their heads and said, "Please enlighten us, Senior Ning!"

Ning Qi thought for a moment. After all, the Langya Domain army wasn't personally trained by him, so it definitely wouldn't be able to integrate with the Xuanzhen Domain army.

However, now that Zhu Yanchuan and the other two are completely willing to follow his orders, Ning Qi is also willing to take over the Langya Domain army and let them do more for him.

With this in mind, Ning Qi said, "How about this, after you take down the army of the Hundred Beasts Domain, go and meet the army of the Profound Truth Domain first, and then go and capture the nodes in various places. After you have captured the nodes in this domain, I will lead all of you to capture the nodes in other war domains!"

"what?"

Hearing Ning Qi's ambitious words, the hearts of the three men pounded.

Their goal was simply to survive; they never considered how many nodes they could capture.

However, Ning Qi told them that they not only needed to conquer all the nodes in this domain, but also needed money to conquer other war domains.

Such a goal was something the three of them dared not even dream of, and they were momentarily stunned.

"Don't you want to?" Ning Qi said calmly.

The three men snapped out of their daze, bowed repeatedly, and said in a resolute tone, "We are willing!"

Just kidding, if Ning Qi could really do it, why wouldn't they want to?
Everyone knows that this war zone is extremely dangerous, but it is also an opportunity to become stronger.

However, if they were to rely on themselves, it would be extremely dangerous; their only goal is to survive.

But if given the chance to become stronger, the three of them would definitely do everything in their power to seize it.

Ning Qi said, "Alright, since that's the case, then do as I say. I'll first let the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm descend completely."

"Yes!"

The three did not go to help the army below. Now Ning Qi wanted to build an altar and completely transform this place into the place ruled by the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

At that time, the suppressed strength of the Langya Domain army will be fully restored, and just like in the Mountain and Sea Realm, the scales of victory will naturally tip more in their favor.

Therefore, it doesn't matter if the three of them don't make a move.

They stayed by Ning Qi's side, eager to see how he would manage to do it.

Like the Fuyou Domain, their Spirit Domain did not have a domain lord like Ning Qi. They had only heard of the legends of domain lords, so they still did not know enough about Ning Qi's strength.

In addition, this place is a large node. According to their understanding, even a large army from a region would need to set up their formation and gather their strength, which would take a lot of time to completely attract the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Ning Qi extended a giant, five-colored hand and pressed it directly onto the ground below.

The ground began to undulate, and in an instant, an altar was formed.

Everyone immediately sensed that the energy of the Boundary Sea and the Vast Realm was rapidly surging towards the altar.

In a short while, the celestial star lowered its beam of light, connecting with the terrestrial star. The energy within it transformed between yin and yang, and everyone felt a grand will descend upon them!

"Is this good?"

Zhu Yanchuan and the other two looked at each other, utterly shocked.

The situation between the two armies fighting below naturally changed accordingly.

The strength of the Langya army has increased again, and its morale is soaring.

The army of the Hundred Beasts Domain was suppressed by another 30% of its strength. Its face turned pale and it began to retreat, fighting as it fled.

The will of the Mountain and Sea Realm has fallen, and it has sent a reward for capturing this node.

Similar to the large node Ning Qi had previously acquired, Ning Qi naturally accepted it with a smile.

Zhu Yanchuan and the other two didn't care. This node was originally captured by Ning Qi. Their army was able to turn defeat into victory thanks to Ning Qi. Why would they covet the rewards from the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm?

That's like an old man eating poison; he's had enough of living!

Ning Qi accepted the reward from the Mountain and Sea Realm, then took out an item and presented it to the three of them.

"This is the Spirit Detection Plate, which can detect the location of nodes. I have marked the location of the Xuanzhen Domain army for you. After you have completely dealt with the cultivators of the Hundred Beast Domain, you should go find them first."

The three replied, "Yes!"

Looking at the small compass floating in front of them, the three of them showed surprise.

To their utter surprise, Ning Qi was not only powerful but also possessed such abilities, which gave them more confidence in Ning Qi's earlier claim of conquering other war zones.

With this compass in hand, we can definitely capture this key point in the war zone quickly.

Of course, the Solingcha compass that Ning Qi gave them was the same as the one he gave Qi Keqing—a very basic compass that could only detect the location of one node.

The one given to the Sword Ancestor could reveal the positions of the two armies and the node they were heading to.

Afterwards, Ning Qi gave the three some instructions and then disappeared across space.

The three of them stared at Ning Qi, who had vanished without a trace. If it weren't for the fact that the Langya Domain army below had already sounded the horn of victory, they would have felt that it was all somewhat unreal.

Ning Qi was like a savior, arriving quietly and departing gracefully, untouched by the world.

Holding the compass given to him by Ning Qi, Qiu Dingbang, a master of array formations, was overjoyed.

"Senior Ning's compass is truly marvelous!"

Ning Qi marked the location of the Xuanzhen Domain army on it, but this function would disappear once they saw the Xuanzhen Domain army.

Ning Qi was also doing this for the safety of the Xuanzhen Domain army. He could only use the Langya Domain army, but he would not completely trust it.

Zhu Yanchuan and the other two looked at it for a moment.

Zhu Yanchuan said, "I think we should deal with the cultivators from the Hundred Beasts Domain as soon as possible and then join up with the army from the Xuanzhen Domain."

Ma Shuangjue and Qiu Dingbang nodded, and the three of them then fell from the void and joined the battle.

Having witnessed Ning Qi's methods firsthand, they dared not disobey.

Even if it did, Qiu Dingbang would stop it. He didn't tell the other two that the compass probably had a positioning function, and Lord Ning should be able to see their movements at all times.

What they didn't know was that there were also many reincarnated cultivators from the True Martial Realm in his army, who were absolutely loyal to Ning Qi, which is why Ning Qi felt at ease leaving.

……

Sikong Lan led the armies of Qingxuan Immortal Sect and several other sects to garrison in that strange place.

Sima Fei, who was skilled at surveying terrain, was extremely excited upon arriving at this place.

Following his idea, everyone began to plan how to lure Ning Qi over and then how to torture and kill him.

When they talked about having fun, everyone danced with excitement.

Sikong Lan said, "If we can really resolve Ning Qi here, the Ancestor will be very happy, and it will also relieve the Ancestor of a worry!"

He looked at Sima Fei, who was deep in thought, and said, "However, Mr. Sima, how should we deal with Ning Qi? That kid is quite strong and extremely good at hiding, which is really a headache!"

Sima Fei said, "Haha, the solution lies in the terrain here. The will of both realms is hard to penetrate here, and the killing aura is astonishing. I have successfully transformed this place into a deadly killing formation."

Sikong Lan exclaimed with delight, "From now on, we'll all be relying on Mr. Sima!"

"Easy to say, easy to say!"

Sima Fei added, "It would be a waste to only deal with Ning Qi. If we could also deal with Qi Keqing, then the Fuyou Domain would be ours to rule from now on."

Sikong Lan said, "It would be best if we could resolve them all, but let's see who we attract first!"

Sima Fei nodded, and then suddenly made a hand seal.

Instantly, energy scattered throughout the area, revealing the previously hidden territory within the war domain, with the node beads emitting a soft white light.

At this moment, Qi Keqing and his group, who had just captured a node, saw that the node had been revealed on their Suolingchaji plate, and immediately led their army in that direction.
