The three of them shook their heads repeatedly.
Zhu Yanchuan said, "Currently, our cultivators from the Mountain and Sea Realm have stepped into the War Realm as the vanguard to attack the Vast Realm, aiming to seize the nodes of the War Realm as a bridgehead for the offensive against the Vast Realmâs main domain."
"But to be honest, our Spirit Domainâs strength is relatively weak within the Mountain and Sea Realm. Forget conquering territories, even leading our army to survive is extremely challenging, so the goal we three have set is survival."
"If Domain Master Ning can lead us to survive, I believe the seniors within the sect could accept that, especially since Domain Master Ning, as a Domain Master, even surpasses an ordinary Unity Realm cultivator."
This heartfelt speech didnât seem like a facade, and the two people beside him also nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Ning Qi felt that these three were more sincere than Qi Keqing.
Their strategy was to survive first. As for the commanderâs position, even if it had to be left to the Immortal Sectâs Ancestor in the Unity Realm for autonomy, if they died before the Unity Realm cultivators of the War Realm entered, what use was the commanderâs position then?
The three of them looked at Ning Qi with hopeful eyes, genuinely wishing for Ning Qi to lead their Langya Domain cultivators.
Moreover, the army below was still in battle, and although the Langya Domain army had the upper hand, truly taking down the cultivators of the Hundred Beasts Realm was uncertain, not knowing how long it would take or how many lives would be lost.
If Ning Qi was willing to command the army and took action, they could achieve victory in no time!
Facing the hopeful gazes of the three, Ning Qi shook his head and said:
"Sorry, I have no interest in leading your army; I even relinquished the commanderâs position in the Profound Truth Realm to the sectâs seniors."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yanchuan and the other two were stunned.
Only then did they realize that the position of commander, one they considered noble, was not something scarce to Ning Qi at all.
Their just-settled hearts instantly felt like they were falling into a well, unsure how to keep Ning Qi.
Ning Qi said, "But rest assured, while I may not be your commander, I can still point you in the right direction."
The three immediately lowered their heads and said, "Please, Senior Ning, enlighten us!"
Ning Qi pondered.
After all, the Langya Domain army wasnât personally led by him, and merging it with the Profound Truth Realm army was impossible.
However, now that Zhu Yanchuan and the others were entirely willing to follow his orders, Ning Qi was willing to incorporate the Langya Domain army and have them do more for him.
With this in mind, Ning Qi said, "Alright, after you take down the Hundred Beasts Realm army, meet up with the Profound Truth Realm army, then continue to seize nodes around the area. Once youâve occupied all nodes in this realm, Iâll take all of you to seize nodes in other realms!"
"What?"
Hearing Ning Qiâs ambitious words, the threeâs hearts were pounding.
Their goal was merely to survive, never considering how many nodes to seize.
But Ning Qi informed them not only to conquer all nodes in this realm but even go on to seize nodes in other war realms.
Such a goal was beyond their imagination, stunning them on the spot.
"Are you unwilling?" Ning Qi asked blandly.
The three snapped back to reality, bowing repeatedly, their voices firm: "We are willing!"
Joking aside, if Ning Qi could truly accomplish this, why wouldnât they be willing?
Everyone knew that while the War Realm was incredibly dangerous, it was also an opportunity for growth.
However, relying on themselves alone would be extremely dangerous, and they only sought to survive.
But if there was a chance to become stronger, they would definitely seize it with all their might.
Ning Qi said, "Great, in that case, do as I say. First, let the Mountain and Sea Realm Will fully descend."
"Yes!"
The three did not assist the army below. Now that Ning Qi wanted to build an altar, completely making this place subordinate to the Mountain and Sea Realm Will.
By then, the suppressed strength of the Langya Domain army would fully recover as if they were in the Mountain and Sea Realm, naturally tipping the scales of victory more in their favor.
So, even if the three didnât take action, it wouldnât matter.
They stayed by Ning Qiâs side, wanting to see how Ning Qi achieved it.
Unlike the Spirit and Fuyao Domains, they did not have a Domain Master like Ning Qi. They had only heard tales of Domain Masters, thus not fully understanding Ning Qiâs power.
Besides, this place was a large node. To their understanding, even an army from One Domain would need to arrange a powerful formation and spend considerable time to fully draw the Mountain and Sea Realm Will down.
Ning Qi stretched out a giant, multicolored hand, pressing it directly onto the ground below.
The ground wriggled and an altar emerged in an instant.
Everyone immediately felt the energy from the Sea of Realms and Vast Realm rapidly flowing towards the altar.
In just a moment, a star beam from the Heavenly Star connected with the Earth Star, its internal energies converting between Yin and Yang, and everyone sensed a grand will descending upon the scene!
"Thatâs it?"
Zhu Yanchuan and the other two exchanged glances, shock overwhelming their hearts.
The battle situation of the two armies below naturally shifted.
The strength of the Langya Domain army surged further, their morale soaring.
The Hundred Beasts Realm army had their strength suppressed by another thirty percent, their faces turning pale, retreat in their hearts, fleeing while fighting.
The Mountain and Sea Realm Will descended, offering rewards for capturing this node.
Similar to the large node Ning Qi seized earlier, Ning Qi naturally accepted it with a smile.
Zhu Yanchuan and the others didnât mind; this node was seized by Ning Qi. Their army turning defeat into victory was already thanks to Ning Qiâs fortune; could they still covet the Mountain and Sea Realm Willâs reward?
That would be akin to the saying "A longevity-craving elder eating arsenic, theyâve lived enough!"
Ning Qi accepted the Mountain and Sea Realmâs reward and then took out an item, passing it to the three.
"This item is the Soul-Searching Plate, which can locate node positions. Iâve marked the Profound Truth Realm armyâs location for you, so after resolving the Hundred Beasts Realm cultivators thoroughly, head there first."
