The second Peach Blossom Spring Space summoned by the Saint Ancestorâs avatar has shattered.
The three stood in the void, with broken space fragments continuously falling around them.
These fragmented space pieces resembled large shards of glass, some transparent, some blurry.
Through the fragments, the three could see their own reflections, as well as the scenes outside.
The Saint Ancestorâs avatar, holding the ancient bronze piece, appeared within the Central Domain.
Upon its appearance, he immediately swung his sleeve.
Instantly, from the entire sky of the Central Domain, a colossal and simple sleeve descended, seemingly tearing open the sky, presenting a chasm.
Within that sleeve, an immense suction force emerged, forming a tornado that stirred ripples in the space itself.
Swish, swish, swish!
The enormous sleeve aimed at the Vast Realm cultivators in the north, all of whom still had their faces turned upwards to the sky, and were sucked into the sleeve simultaneously.
The first to be sucked in were the Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators, followed by the Integration Realm, then the Harmonization Realm.
Finally, Vast Immortal Sectâs Sect Leader Jiang Yingchu struck Gong Tiandao, who was battling him, and followed the others into the Saint Ancestorâs avatarâs sleeve.
The entire Central Domain was emptied of Vast Realm cultivators, leaving only Mountain and Sea Realm cultivators who looked at each other, uncertain of what to do next.
Ning Qi and the Sea Ancestorâs avatar also appeared within the Central Domain.
Additionally, the phantom manifestations of the two realmsâ wills appeared, landing beside their respective sides.
The Sea Ancestorâs avatar was slightly surprised that the Saint Ancestorâs avatar suddenly used the Sleeve Universe Technique to take all Vast Realm cultivators, but did not stop it.
Ning Qi looked at the half-empty Central Domain, then glanced at the Saint Ancestorâs avatar, feeling that this was indeed the kind of thing he would do.
The Saint Ancestorâs avatar had participated twice in the battle: first by summoning the Harmonization Realm phantom, which Ning Qi disrupted, then by calling twisted creatures from the Sea of Realms, which Ning Qi also resolved.
The second time he sent his avatar, intending to continue assisting Vast Realm cultivators in their victory in the Central Domain. But then the Sea Ancestor also sent an avatar.
With the Sea Ancestorâs avatar and Ning Qi present, the Saint Ancestorâs avatar knew that no matter what he did, he couldnât help the Vast Realm cultivators achieve victory.
Thus, instead of doing so, why not simply take away all Vast Realm cultivators to preserve their lives?
He is the revered Saint Ancestor of the Vast Realm and would never let his people die endlessly on the front lines.
He is not the kind of schemer who lets others fight while seeking personal gain.
The Sea Ancestorâs avatar blinked her icy eyes, with glimmering eyes like water, and commented with some respect:
"No wonder youâre called the Saint Ancestor. This action makes me hold you in higher regard. Your Vast Realm is indeed more humane than our Mountain and Sea Realm!"
The Saint Ancestorâs avatar smiled, replying with implied meaning:
"What good is being humane? War wonât stop because you have humaneness. Your Mountain and Sea Realm launching a Spirit Realm war against our Vast Realm proves that point, doesnât it?"
The Sea Ancestorâs avatar contemplated briefly before speaking:
"In the Spirit Realm, one cannot act freely. Arenât you afraid that now, with your Vast Realm cultivators removed, my Mountain and Sea Realm cultivators might completely occupy the Central Domain?"
The Saint Ancestorâs avatar laughed again.
"Since I have taken them away, I will take on the battle myself!"
His once hunched, elderly figure suddenly straightened, his white hair showing signs of turning black.
"Originally, this battle was supposed to be fought directly between us. Why continue filling it with their lives now?"
The Sea Ancestorâs avatar gazed down.
Within the Central Domain, only Mountain and Sea Realm cultivators remained.
All Mountain and Sea Realm cultivators looked up at the Sea Ancestorâs avatar, seemingly waiting for her orders.
After all, with the enemy gone, how were they supposed to fight? They couldnât possibly gang up on the Saint Ancestorâs avatar, could they?
"I donât possess his Sleeve Universe Technique, so you all find a corner to hide in. The upcoming battle doesnât require your involvement. Leave it to me."
Her cold voice echoed throughout, bringing joy to many Mountain and Sea Realm cultivators.
"Does this mean the war is over?" someone asked naively.
Instantly, someone reminded, "Not so simple. We can only consider our battle temporarily paused. If later the two Ancestors completely take over the entire war realm, and attack the Vast Realm, then we will have to continue fighting."
"If that happens, our danger will be greatly reduced, and instead, we might gain much."
Among them were battle fanatics, who had gained much from the fight and sought to gain more.
If the Mountain and Sea Realm could break through the Vast Realmâs boundary wall, they could continue battling within the Vast Realm, gaining even more!
Ning Qi looked down on the cultivators below, hearing their various utterances.
The Sea Ancestorâs subordinates led by Zhao Yujun had already withdrawn to one side, silently resting.
The Mountain Ancestorâs subordinates led by Gong Tiandao, mostly wore joyful expressions.
After all, earlier they thought the Mountain Ancestor hadnât sent an avatar, only the Sea Ancestorâs avatar came, making them the weakest side in the war.
Now that they no longer have to fight, it is indeed good news for them.
As for Ning Qiâs army, Sword Ancestor and Qi Keqing quietly watched him.
Ning Qi nodded to them and then gestured toward Zhao Yujunâs direction.
The two immediately understood, promptly leading the army to approach Zhao Yujunâs group.
Zhao Yujun saw this but didnât speak.
In their view, Ning Qi and the Sea Ancestorâs avatar fighting alongside was indeed indicative of the Sea Ancestor avatarâs recognition of Ning Qi.
