Chapter 377 The Two Humble Immortal Sects

"They are already the closest beings in both realms to the legendary immortals. Even an avatar of them possesses immense power. You must not be careless."

The will of the Mountain and Sea Realm, seeing the Holy Ancestor's avatar descending, reminded him once again.

He was mainly speaking to Ning Qi. Zhao Yujun and Gong Tiandao could see their respective ancestors all year round, so they were naturally well aware of their ancestors' power.

That's why the two of them looked so solemn when they saw the Holy Ancestor's avatar descend.

Ning Qi, Zhao Yujun, and Gong Tiandao peered across the boundary wall at the other side.

Ning Qi glanced over and saw the slightly hunched old man arrive on the north side of the Central Region and then cast his gaze in this direction.

Its divine eyes were unpredictable, sweeping over all the important figures on this side of the realm.

From the illusory image of the Mountain and Sea Realm's will to the two sect leaders, Zhao and Gong, it finally landed on Ning Qi, where it lingered the longest.

Zhao and Gong only sensed something, but only the will of the Mountain and Sea Realm and Ning Qi could truly perceive the gaze of the Holy Ancestor's avatar.

Ning Qi met his gaze, and the other person was clearly taken aback for a moment.

Clearly, the Holy Ancestor did not expect to discover Ning Qi's presence as soon as he appeared, nor did he expect that Ning Qi could clearly see his arrival in this Central Region shrouded in blood mist.

Since the opening of the War Realm, Ning Qi has indirectly clashed with the Holy Ancestor three times.

However, the previous exchanges were all conducted through mediums such as calligraphy and paintings, which contained the will left by the Holy Ancestor, and could not be considered true battles.

Ning Qi's identity changes with each encounter.

He rose from an unknown cultivator in a remote spiritual realm to a figure known throughout both realms.

Ning Qi and the Holy Ancestor faced each other across the boundary wall.

Ning Qi seemed to see the old man smile at him.

Immediately, the Holy Ancestor shifted his gaze, no longer looking at Ning Qi and the others, but instead scanning the entire Southern Region with his eyes.

No one knows how sharp the Holy Ancestor's eyesight is, or how much of the situation here he can see.

A short while later, the Holy Ancestor quickly turned his gaze to Jiang Yingchu, the sect leader of the Haoran Immortal Sect, who was standing beside him, and they were discussing something.

Time is of the essence. Even if his clone descends into the War Realm, he cannot be as invincible as he is in the Vast Realm due to the limitations of the realm's space.

……

Ning Qi and the others also looked away, exchanging glances.
The illusory image of the Mountain and Sea Realm's will said in a deep voice:

"Since the other side's ancestor has even sent out his clone, I also need to go and talk to those two guys. They can't keep hiding in the back and letting you fight for your lives."

As he spoke, he seemed to be comforting Ning Qi and the other two.

"You don't need to worry too much. If it were just the two of you sect leaders before, you might not have been a match for them, but now that Ning Qi is here, the three of you together should be fine."

At this moment, the two sect leaders truly felt that Ning Qi's appearance might be a good thing.

Given the friction between the two of them, it would be a miracle if they didn't work together or stab each other in the back, let alone cooperate.

Ning Qi's appearance, ironically, added a mediator between the two.

Although Gong Tiandao believed that Ning Qi was clearly more inclined to side with Hai Zu.

The illusory image of the Mountain and Sea Realm's will did not leave. As the will of the Spirit Realm, it could create countless clones and naturally had a way to contact the two ancestors.

After the Holy Ancestor descended, a solemn atmosphere filled the Central Region, as if a storm was about to break.

Both the northern and southern armies realized that now all that remained was for the will of both realms to remove the boundary barrier in the middle, and then the final battle for cultivators below the level of the two realms' ancestors would begin.

Therefore, both sides are making final preparations!

Sect Masters Zhao Yujun and Gong Tiandao each summoned their subordinate cultivators for a final pep talk.

Ning Qi also summoned the cultivators from both regions he was leading.

"Domain Lord!"

Sword Ancestor and Qi Keqing, along with other Dao Integration cultivators, took the lead and shouted in unison.

Ning Qi nodded slightly.

Ning Qi's gaze swept over everyone in the Wuji Sword Sect, the sect he was reborn into after his reincarnation in the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Within the Mountain and Sea Realm, the Wuji Sword Sect was the sect where he found refuge, and Ning Qi formed deep bonds with many of them.

For example, Sword Ancestor, True Man Ziyang, Deputy Sect Master Cang Wanhe, Lu Ziyue who found him, Qin Minghao who first pursued him, the original Ten True Disciples, and so on.

These people had long regarded Ning Qi as their lifelong revered sect leader or friend.

Some of them knew who Ning Qi was, but most of them did not know his identity.

Ning Qi wasn't planning to tell them now; he would only do so when the Spirit Realm War was completely over.

Ning Qi then looked at the cultivators from other sects in the Xuanzhen Domain.

Ning Qi unified the Northern Xuan Domain and the Southern Zhen Domain, reuniting them into the Xuanzhen Domain, and was revered by all sects as the Lord of the Xuanzhen Domain.

Their eyes were filled with immense trust and respect for Ning Qi.

Ning Qi then looked at the cultivators from the Fuyou Domain led by Qi Keqing.

When their eyes met Ning Qi's, they all bowed slightly as a sign of respect.

They followed Ning Qi all the way from the War Realm, never even returning to their own sects and spiritual domains.

Ning Qi knew that as long as he gave the order, Qi Keqing would lead people to join his Xuanzhen Domain without any disloyalty.

Ning Qi's gaze finally swept over the True Martial Realm cultivators who were also born in the Mountain and Sea Realm; there was a tacit understanding between them.

"The war that follows will be entirely up to you."

Ning Qi suddenly said calmly.

Sword Ancestor, Qi Keqing, and the other cultivators all remained silent.

"After that, I may not be able to take care of you anymore. I will teach you a few more life-saving techniques. As long as you cooperate well and don't act rashly, there shouldn't be any major problems."

Sword Ancestor scratched his head, surprised, and said, "Kid, why do you make it sound like we're facing a life-or-death separation?"

Ning Qi smiled helplessly.

"Sword Ancestor, let me finish what I have to say."

“Alright,” the Sword Ancestor said somewhat awkwardly, “We’ve been fighting all this way, but we’ve rarely had a heart-to-heart talk. Kid, but let me tell you, we’ve seen everything you’ve done, and we’ve benefited a lot from you. You don’t need to take everything on your shoulders.”

Everyone nodded emphatically upon hearing this.

"So, go and fight without worry, we'll take good care of ourselves."

Ning Qi nodded as well.

Just then, a commotion broke out among the cultivators of the Zhoushan Immortal Sect, where Gong Tiandao was located.

Ning Qi and the others immediately went to look.

Gong Tiandao shouted loudly, "All Zhou Shan Immortal Sect cultivators participating in this battle, as well as all cultivators who follow Zhou Shan Immortal Sect, can receive a bottle of pills corresponding to their respective cultivation levels, plus a technique personally taught by the Mountain Ancestor."

The cultivators of Zhou Shan Immortal Sect and their followers immediately cheered.

However, there were also many dissenting voices.

"Sect Master, are you sure this is really for us? We don't need to pledge any items, pay any merits, or take out any loans, right?"

Gong Tiandao's expression changed.

"What nonsense are you talking about? This is something I specially fought for you. If you say another word, you won't get anything." The man immediately fell silent.

Soon, Gong Tiandao distributed the supplies to everyone.

After receiving the supplies, everyone proudly puffed out their chests, and many cultivators even gave Ning Qi and the others a smug look.

That look in his eyes seemed to say, "You're from a humble family, you probably don't have such luxurious things."

The reason they dared not provoke the cultivators of the Moon Sea Immortal Sect was that they knew the Moon Sea Immortal Sect held the same status as them and were not to be trifled with.

On the contrary, in the Central Region today, only the army of Ning Qi, which comes from the remote Spirit Region, is worthy of their contempt.

Upon seeing this, Ning Qi and the cultivators from the two regions under his command all wore strange expressions.

Sword Ancestor spoke bluntly, "That's it?"

This immediately drew laughter from the crowd.

"What do you mean, 'that's all'? Do you even have that?"

The cultivators of Zhou Shan Immortal Sect have always been assertive, and some of them, who are used to gossiping, spoke directly.

Ning Qi and the other cultivators, in the end, only respected Ning Qi. As for the other cultivators, no matter how talented they were, they were not in their eyes.

On the other side.

The cultivators of the Moon Sea Immortal Sect, led by Zhao Yujun, also began distributing supplies.

The two groups of cultivators stopped arguing and instead looked at the cultivators of the Moon Sea Immortal Sect.

Sect Master Zhao Yujun said, "Our Moon Sea Immortal Sect has also prepared some supplies for everyone. Please accept them."

With a wave of her hand, countless pearl-like storage shells, shimmering in various colors, flew into everyone's hands.

They were extremely low-key, unlike the flamboyant Zhou Shan Immortal Sect.

But everyone who opened the storage shell wore a satisfied smile.

This scene immediately aroused immense envy among the people of Zhou Shan Immortal Sect.

After distributing the supplies to everyone, Zhao Yujun and Leng Qingao came to Ning Qi's side.

"Fellow Daoist Ning, if you don't mind, we have quite a few surplus supplies here, so how about..."

Ning Qi interrupted Zhao Yujun directly.

He smiled slightly and said, "I appreciate Sect Leader Zhao's kindness on behalf of my fellow cultivators, but we do not lack these things."

Zhao Yujun frowned slightly, thinking that Ning Qi was concerned about saving face.

Only Leng Qingao whispered something in Zhao Yujun's ear, which made Zhao Yujun look surprised.

Ning Qi has once again attracted everyone's attention.

Having previously inscribed an array in this space, everyone knew of Ning Qi's abilities. In addition, he had survived an unprecedented tribulation of lightning, so everyone respected him greatly.

But as I said before, Ning Qi is Ning Qi, and the cultivators under Ning Qi are cultivators.

For the two strongest immortal sects, they could acknowledge Ning Qi's strength, but they could not treat the two armies under Ning Qi's command as equals.

It's not really their fault. They've always been in the Central Region, while Ning Qi and the others were undergoing tribulations in the Outer Region.

Only Gong Tiandao and Zhao Yujun knew a lot about Ning Qi.

Ning Qi had originally intended to provide a final safeguard for his two armies.

Unexpectedly, this matter has attracted attention and comparisons. Since he is so eager to be proven wrong, he will enjoy it!

The next second, Ning Qi waved his hand in front of him.

His storage space opened, and instantly, countless supplies flew out as if being dumped, piling up into several small mountains to the side.

As soon as the small hill appeared, Zhao Yujun and Leng Qing'ao's beautiful eyes widened, and they lightly covered their lips.

Gong Tiandao, standing to the side, nearly popped his eyes out, while the cultivators under his command were almost petrified on the spot.

Ning Qi said, “When you enter the War Realm with me, whether you are from my original sect, the Wuji Sword Sect, or cultivators from the Xuanzhen Domain, or people from the Fuyao Domain, I will treat you all the same.”

This isn't Ning Qi showing off.

He plundered countless supplies and resources within the war zone.

In addition, since he was originally the Lord of the True Martial Realm, his regular resources were generated by the world itself and were inexhaustible, so Ning Qi didn't care much.

Moreover, he can now unite the power of the mountains and seas, the vastness, the boundary seas, and the true martial arts into one.

Once the war in the spirit world ends and both realms are defeated, he knows how much he will gain.

Therefore, Ning Qi distributed these supplies without any reluctance; these things were just ordinary items to him.

With a wave of his hand, Ning Qi sent several small mountains of supplies flying to his two armies, categorized and distributed.

Each of them held supplies almost as big as themselves, and their faces showed blissful smiles that almost made them faint.

This scene naturally drew stares from both Zhao Yujun and Gong Tiandao's groups.

Their two sects are the largest sects in the Mountain and Sea Realm, with an unbelievably profound foundation.

But when they saw what Ning Qi gave them, they almost couldn't take their eyes off him.

High-grade spiritual treasures, magic weapons, and defensive robes were all casually tossed to his subordinate cultivators by Ning Qi, just like a weapons wholesale store.

Ning Qi gave away countless pills used by cultivators at the Dao Integration stage to every cultivator, regardless of their cultivation level.

Spirit stones, fragments of rules, and the power of the Mountain and Sea Realm—things that all cultivators regard as treasures—were also distributed by Ning Qi.

"hiss……"

Among the cultivators of the Moon Sea Immortal Sect, someone couldn't help but gasp.

"It feels like Ning Qi is a sect all by himself. Compared to him, what are we?"

"Where did that guy get so many resources? Plenty of spirit stones and equipment worth a fortune, and he just gave them all to his subordinate cultivators. What a waste!"

Zhao Yujun, Leng Qing'ao, and the others were stunned by Ning Qi's nouveau riche appearance.

Goodness, they used to think they were rich enough, but now they all feel a bit shabby.

They are indeed the strongest sect, but not everyone can obtain so many resources.

The more powerful a sect is, the fiercer the competition. Almost all the resources are distributed and everyone uses them for cultivation, leaving nothing behind.

As for the cultivators of Zhoushan Immortal Sect on Gong Tiandao's side, they were all dumbfounded!
Gong Tiandao snorted coldly.

"What are you looking at? What good will it do you to see more? You should kill more enemies and exchange your merits for resources. That's the safest way."

The cultivators of Zhou Shan Immortal Sect were practically cursing under their breath.

Gong Tiandao is extremely stingy. He claims it's for the sake of the sect, and he has to carefully calculate every penny of resources.

Gong Tiandao even takes a cut of the merits they gain from killing enemies, saying that the sect does not support lazy people.

However, building up the sect is everyone's duty. Only when everyone contributes merit points will the sect become stronger.

Damn it, if it were really for everyone's benefit, that would be one thing, but when it came to the distribution, it all ended up in Gong Tiandao's pocket.

If Gong Tiandao weren't a direct disciple of the Mountain Ancestor and possessed formidable strength, everyone would have already given him a beating.

In short, the two strongest immortal sects, who were just overjoyed, now felt a sense of humility in the face of a tycoon.
