"Don’t bla for being blunt; the upcoming battle is beyond your involvent. I’ve already contacted the wills of the two realms; they will open a space portal to the Vast Realm for you to seek refuge."
Upon hearing this, everyone wore a bleak expression, seemingly bewildered.
They naturally understood Ning Qi’s words. They knew that facing the battle among the Three Ancestors, remaining in the war realm would render them nothing but cannon fodder swept by the waves of conflict, without any other purpose.
However... they are cultivators of the Mountain and Sea Realm!
Cultivators from the Mountain and Sea Realm entering the Vast Realm—where many retreating cultivators from previous battles linger—would spawn hostile encounters, with enmities rekindled anew, likely leading to further conflict.
Yet, so thought it better than perishing in the war realm.
Ning Qi blinked and said, "I know what you’re thinking; rest assured, with the will of the Vast Realm and the decree of the Saint Ancestor, the cultivators of the Vast Realm won’t harm you."
After he spoke, the group, although finding the protection from the opposing Ancestor and Realm Venerable rather peculiar, trusted Ning Qi’s words.
The Sword Ancestor stepped forward, ready to speak.
But Zhao Yujun interjected first, staring at Ning Qi: "Taoist Friend Ning, aren’t you coming?"
Ning Qi smiled slightly, pointing ahead, "Such an opportunity—if I don’t seize it, I’d be the world’s greatest fool."
His light-hearted reply even drew laughter from the worried crowd.
Yet, the crowd dared not, like him, remain in the war realm.
Zhao Yujun intended to say more.
But Ning Qi said, "Sect Leader Zhao, I’ll leave them in your care first."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yujun paused montarily, then nodded resolutely.
"The Jade Monarch will exert every effort!"
The Sword Ancestor parted his lips but found himself unsure what to say.
Should he persuade Ning Qi to leave with them, or tell him to be careful?
Ning Qi glanced deeply at them, "Don’t worry, you’re only resting temporarily; I’ll have use for you again!"
Imdiately, Ning Qi snapped his fingers.
With an instant whirl, the Vast Realm opened a space portal.
That portal, like a vortex, swiftly drew the crowd in, sealing shut right after.
It seed as though lingering even a second longer would spell danger.
Ning Qi withdrew his gaze; a figure descended beside him.
"Ning Qi, my master and I have agreed to your terms; it’s up to you now!"
Ning Qi massaged his forehead, "What do you an by ’up to ’? At most, I can assist; Mountain Ancestor still requires the Saint Ancestor and Sea Ancestor to bear the brunt."
The burly figure of the Vast Realm’s will glanced at Ning Qi, remaining silent.
"I will help my master bear the burden, too."
After speaking, he vanished from Ning Qi’s sight.
...
At the base of the Divine Mountain Illusion.
The shadow of the Vast Realm’s will appeared here, his expression profoundly grave.
He addressed the Saint Ancestor lying on the ground ahead, "Master, should we really trust Ning Qi?"
"If this continues, I fear our Vast Realm will be entirely absorbed by this Divine Mountain. Shouldn’t we return to the Vast Realm swiftly, where we might collectively maneuver to escape this Sea of Realms?"
The Saint Ancestor heard this and rolled over.
"Zhili, do you truly think we can escape? That guy is now sacrificing even his own; he has calculated everything precisely."
Upon hearing this, the Vast Realm’s will frowned deeply.
After the Saint Ancestor spoke, suddenly, his expression changed.
"Trouble—see if anything peculiar is happening within the Vast Realm!"
The Vast Realm’s will imdiately closed his eyes, connecting to the Main Will of the Vast Realm.
The Main Will quickly scanned the situation inside the Vast Realm, finding no abnormalities.
"Master, nothing amiss within the Vast Realm."
The Saint Ancestor seed to breathe a sigh of relief.
He had just considered that if the Mountain Ancestor had planned everything, then the inside of the Vast Realm might also be within that guy’s scheming.
Monts ago, Sea Ancestor sent him a secret ssage, hinting that if they truly obtained that thing, entering the Vast Realm would be all too easy!
