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

Chapter 349 The Key to Ning Qi's Victory

A map of the central region of the southern boundary appeared before Ning Qi.

Ning Qi glanced at it and immediately gained a clear understanding of the situation in the Central Region.

The situation in the middle region is similar to that in the upper region.

Of the thirty-six nodes, excluding the six hidden nodes, there are still eight that have not been captured, and the cultivators from both sides inside are engaged in a fierce battle!
Seeing this situation, Ning Qi was naturally not in a hurry, but some people were.

After receiving the compass from Ning Qi, Ren Boping and his two companions, having barely recovered from the initial excitement of having it, immediately got down to business.

They naturally noticed the situation in the Central Region, and the three of them immediately changed their expressions.

Ren Boping said, "Lord Ning, our cultivators in this region are already engaged in fierce fighting. We must go and provide support."

Beside him, Jiang Yuyue and Lang Yingying also bowed and made their requests.

"I humbly request Lord Ning's assistance."

Ning Qi hesitated for a moment, then said, "Alright, I'll go with you to rescue them first. But let's make it clear first, our army will have to take half of the remaining nodes in this region."

Ren Boping and the others glanced at the map on the compass again; half of it marked the four directions.

Compared to the profits gained from the four nodes, this deal is extremely worthwhile.

They understood Ning Qi's meaning. The reason he brought up the distribution of benefits first was because he was afraid that if he saved everyone and then discussed benefits later, they might not be willing to accept it.

Of course, Ning Qi's initial idea was to acquire all the remaining nodes in this domain.

However, now that he has been threatened by Haizu, he has to maintain good relations with his subordinates and share some of the benefits.

“We, the brothers of this region, agree!” Ren Boping also cupped his hands in greeting.

Ning Qi nodded slightly.

"Alright, let's set off then!"

After saying that, he immediately reorganized the army and glanced at Ren Boping and his men's troops.

Ning Qi then said, "The three of you, in order to save the fellow Daoists in this region as soon as possible, I wonder if you can temporarily follow my orders?"

Ren Boping and the other two were stunned for a moment.

Ning Qi pointed to his army and added:

"As you have seen in person before, when I lead the rescue, I emphasize surprise and catching the enemy off guard. If you want to rescue people as quickly as you did, only my leadership can achieve the greatest efficiency."

Upon hearing this, Ren Boping and the other two exchanged glances and slowly nodded.

Although Ning Qi wanted to gain command, they thought about everything that had happened since they met him and agreed that what Ning Qi said was true.

They observed that, compared to Ning Qi's army, they were almost inferior in everything except for a few areas of superior strength.

Regardless of the army's formation, Ning Qi's uncanny concealment methods, or his terrifying strength, if one wants to rescue the people as quickly as possible, it is naturally better to follow Ning Qi's command.

Therefore, Ren Boping and the other two replied in unison, "Alright, we'll do as you ask, Lord Ning, in rescuing people."

Ning Qi smiled slightly.

Don't worry about the other party not accepting it; once they do, they will feel the difference in his leadership.

They will gradually become inseparable from him, just like Qi Keqing, Zhu Yanchuan, and others. At that time, these people will all become his loyal followers.

The thought flashed through Ning Qi's mind: Could this be considered undermining Hai Zu?

Whatever, it's a step forward, a preparation for the future.

After all, the entire War Realm, including both realms, probably has more than two hundred Spirit Realm cultivators, and there will be Dao Integration Realm ancestors afterward.

Without enough subordinates for Ning Qi to command, the things Ning Qi can do alone are extremely limited.

Therefore, Ning Qi used his abilities to temporarily integrate Ren Boping and others' troops into his own army.

These cultivator demon kings were scattered one by one, and as soon as they entered Ning Qi's army, they immediately felt the difference.

Everyone was in their proper place, and there was a sense of solemnity and order, which allowed them to unleash their full potential.

Even the three domain lords, Ren Boping, Jiang Yuyue, and Lang Yingying, were reassigned by Ning Qi to form their own formations with Jian Zu, Qi Keqing, and Zhu Yanchuan.

After making all the preparations, Ning Qi suddenly waved his hand.

Instantly, the entire army he had commanded was enveloped by the concealment formation.

Ning Qi took out a sufficient amount of spirit stones and fragments of rules from his storage space, and shattered them all. The spiritual energy and power of rules within them were guided by Ning Qi and quickly condensed into a huge teleportation gate in front of him.

When Ren Boping and other cultivators under Haizu witnessed this scene, they were all deeply shocked.

Good heavens, what did they see? A portal that could allow an army to cross space!

They were like raw recruits who had been walking, suddenly encountering another well-equipped unit, whose leader simply let them hitch a ride.

Ren Boping and the others were immediately filled with excitement.

Some of these cultivators secretly glanced at the cultivators under Ning Qi's command, only to see the latter immediately straighten their backs, their eyes seeming to say, "Little brat, never seen anything like this before, have you?"

For a moment, everyone felt a sense of inferiority, as if they had never seen the world before.

Ren Boping, Jiang Yuyue, and Lang Yingying stared at Ning Qi, thinking to themselves:

Just how many more abilities is he hiding?

From the moment they met Ning Qi, the various abilities he displayed astonished them all.

They even wondered if Ning Qi was deliberately showing off his power in front of them, but when they saw the people under Ning Qi's command, who seemed completely used to it, they knew it wasn't him.

Ning Qi said, "All soldiers, listen to my command: after entering the teleportation portal, do not move without my instructions, lest the enemy notice you."

Everyone responded in unison, "Yes!"

Ning Qi shouted, "Go!"

Dressed in white, he took the lead and flew towards the teleportation portal.

The others immediately followed behind.

Ren Boping and the others had an excellent experience riding the portal for the first time. There was no darkness or dizziness as they had imagined, nor the feeling of being top-heavy when traversing the void.

It was just a moment of darkness before my eyes, and then I had completed the crossing of the void.

When they came to their senses, they stared at what was in front of them and realized that they had appeared near the battlefield of the two armies.

Ren Boping, Jiang Yuyue, and Lang Yingying's pupils suddenly contracted. Their first thought was, "They haven't been discovered, have they?"

But glancing at the chaotic army ahead, no one noticed their presence.

After they joined forces with Ning Qi's forces, they had a total of four and a half domains of cultivators. It was one thing for so many people to cross domains through the teleportation portal, but they were also able to conceal their presence and not be discovered. They couldn't help but marvel at Ning Qi's terrifying ability!
"Lord Ning, what should we do now?"

Lang Yingying whispered.

She was a mermaid demon queen, skilled in illusion control and proficient in water-based rules, so Ning Qi assigned her to a corresponding team in the army.

Ren Boping and Jiang Yuyue also stared at Ning Qi, waiting for him to give orders.

Ren Boping, skilled in offensive combat, was assigned to the offensive formation by Ning Qi, while Jiang Yuyue, a great demon king, was placed in the group of Niu Dingtian and other demons. This was their first time participating in a battle against such alien beings, and they could only submit to Ning Qi's command.

Ning Qi glanced at the chaotic army in front of him and carefully observed the battle situation.

He quickly devised a solution.

Ning Qi immediately transmitted his voice to everyone, readjusted the formation, and then waved his hand.

"Come on, follow me!"

Lang Yingying wasn't annoyed that he didn't respond to her; on the contrary, she found his focused expression exceptionally radiant.

Having laid out everything, winning the battle before us is naturally not a difficult task, just like rescuing Ren Boping and the others.

After a short while, Ning Qi led his army to completely rescue the cultivators in this region and wiped out all the cultivators in the Haoran Realm.

The leader of the cultivators in this region was a nine-headed sea serpent demon. Previously, he was in the army, and each of his nine heads released different rules and divine powers. His powerful body rampaged through the serpent demon, killing many cultivators from the Vast Realm.

Now, he has transformed into human form, but he is a handsome man with an androgynous appearance, named Aotoro.

He was overjoyed to see Ren Boping and others come to his rescue.

Subsequently, led by Ren Boping and others, they came to pay their respects to Ning Qi.

"Lord Ning, I am Qingchulan, the Lord of the Sea Serpent Domain. Thank you for saving me!"

This student was quite polite, and his expression was very respectful, presumably because Ren Boping and others had informed him of Ning Qi's situation.

Ning Qi said, "There's no need to be so polite. We are all cultivators under the command of the Sea Ancestor, and it is only right that we help each other."

Qing Chulan laughed and said, "Since Lord Ning has saved us, we will definitely take credit for him when we return to the Mountain and Sea Realm."

Ning Qi glanced at Qing Chu Lan with surprise. This guy is quite worldly-wise. Does having nine heads mean he's smarter?
The other party then led two other domain lords to meet Ning Qi. After exchanging words, they discussed what they needed to do next.

This time, Ren Boping and the other two looked entirely at Ning Qi, regarding him as their pillar of support.

Ning Qi did not refuse and directly assigned tasks to each army.

The most urgent task is to completely take over this territory first.

Ning Qi sent Jian Zu and the others to capture the four nodes that had been agreed upon beforehand. As for the other four nodes, the spoils were distributed among Ren Boping, Qing Chulan, and the others.

As for Ning Qi himself, he continued to harvest the six hidden nodes and integrate into the True Martial World.

After receiving the reward from the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm, Ning Qi once again led his army to open the boundary between the Central Domain and the Lower Domain.

Then, following the same process, the lower domain is pacified.

Thus, after Ning Qi had finished harvesting the six hidden nodes in the lower domain, Sword Ancestor and the others finally conquered the last node in the lower domain.

Having captured the last node, they have now completely pacified the entire southern war zone.

Everyone clearly sensed that something was rapidly changing inside.

The entire lower realm was shaking, and not only that, a terrifying roar came from the north.

Everyone quickly flew into the sky and gazed at the north.

The north was the place where they crossed the boundary wall when they came.

At that moment, the vast boundary wall shattered with a deafening roar, transforming into energy that flowed into the surrounding land.

Ning Qi teleported directly to the vicinity on his own.

He frowned slightly as he examined everything.

The boundary wall shattered, turning into energy that flowed into the boundary wall above and beneath his feet. Ning Qi clearly felt that the space inside became more stable.

However, the changes were not yet over. Ning Qi once again traversed space, instantly crossing the entire Central Region and arriving at the border between the Central Region and the Upper Region.

At this moment, the boundary here is also changing.

Ning Qi sensed that the energy of the surrounding mountain and sea realm was squeezing and shattering the boundary wall.

Beside Ning Qi, the illusory image of the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm appeared.

Ning Qi is now extremely calm in the face of the elusive phantoms, after all, he is also the ruler of a realm and has a deep understanding of this kind of ability.

Ning Qi asked, "Lord of the Realm, is this what will happen after we completely occupy a great domain?"

The illusory image of the Mountain and Sea Realm's will gave Ning Qi a rather appreciative look before replying:

"Now that the Southern War Zone has been completely occupied by me, I can remove the barriers and make the entire Southern Zone a free passage."

Ning Qi asked, "Does this mean that cultivators at the Dao Integration Realm can now descend upon this region?"

The phantom shook its head.

"It will take a while longer. Once the southern boundary has fully absorbed the power of the boundary wall, and I consolidate it further, I can then descend and merge with the Dao within it."

Ning Qi nodded, then asked:
"Lord of the Realm, you can already come and go freely in this domain. Why send anyone else in? With you here, how could the Vast Realm possibly seize this domain?"

The will of the Mountain and Sea Realm suddenly laughed:
"I am the supreme being of this realm. If I were to truly unleash my power, how could this war realm possibly withstand it?"

He looked around and said, “This is determined by the upper limit of space. After I stabilize the space, it can only withstand the power of a Dao Integration Realm expert.”

"Therefore, at most I can only exert the strength of the Dao Integration Realm. Previously, you guys could only exert my power if you captured the nodes."

Ning Qi immediately understood.

However, based on his own experience as a realm master, he felt that there was still one thing the Mountain and Sea Realm had not been honest about.

That is, the range of the Mountain and Sea Realm's will is limited by region!
Because he belongs to the realm of mountains and seas!
His strength lies primarily within the Mountain and Sea Realm, not outside of it. At most, he can only influence the outside world, but he cannot truly be invincible outside the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Otherwise, he could continue to expand the boundaries of the Mountain and Sea Realm!
Obviously, this is impossible. After all, the Mountain and Sea Realm has already expanded to the limit of his ability to expand. If he still has the strength, why doesn't he continue to expand himself?

Of course, Ning Qi also faces similar limitations.

For example, his true form is the Lord of the True Martial Realm, so logically speaking, Ning Qi would not be able to exert his power outside the True Martial Realm.

However, Ning Qi is different from the Mountain and Sea Realm and the Vast Realm in that he is human. Although he has erased the will of the True Martial Realm and become the will of the True Martial Realm himself, he is still human.

Ning Qi can be seen as an anomaly, neither human nor non-human, neither from any realm nor any other realm. He is both human and from the True Martial Realm.

Therefore, Ning Qi was born to surpass both the Mountain and Sea Realm and the Vast Realm!

Moreover, Ning Qi was able to separate his own soul and create this reincarnated body.

The reincarnated body is essentially his clone; he has a close connection with his original body and can transfer power to it at any time.

At that moment, Ning Qi suddenly understood the difference between himself and the Mountain and Sea Realm and the Vast Realm.

His eyes gleamed. Because of his existence as an anomaly, the scales of victory in this war in the spirit world would not belong to either realm, but would gradually tip in his favor!

"Lord of the Realm, the war zone in the south has now been pacified. What should I do now?"

Although Ning Qi had his own strategy, he still wanted to ask the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm what it was thinking.
