Chapter 600: It

BOOM!

BOOM BOOM!

The sword's malevolent energy surged to the heavens, shaking the starry cosmos!

Beneath the power radiating from the nascent soul weapon—Ten Extreme Swords—the path beneath their feet, as if paved with starlight, began to crumble bit by bit.

“The cosmos refines the Ten Extremes; ten thousand stars temper a single blade!”

As this prestigious phrase echoed, the veil of heaven was torn open by the sword's malevolent energy, and the entire Chengwu Realm trembled precariously.

The apocalyptic scene left the cultivators within utterly unprepared.

Each frantically activated their realm-exit jade talismans, desperate to escape.

Yet under the interference of the sword's malevolent energy, most of their realm-exit techniques failed completely.

The Chengwu Realm descended into chaos.

Only a few prodigies from sacred sects stood frozen, staring at the sword's malevolent energy rising to the heavens, their spirits shaken.

Legend had it that the Chengwu Realm was formed when the Cheng Turtle Hermit sought to subdue the top-tier nascent soul weapon, “Ten Extreme Swords,” and their spiritual energies resonated together.

They had assumed the tale was mostly rumor—but never imagined…

A nascent soul weapon, as the name implies, is a divine weapon comparable to a Nascent Soul.

Though Yuanzhen Realm is a Union Dao great realm, due to its unique “multiversal” nature, the law density of any single universe within the cosmic sea is actually quite low.

Weak universes even harbor Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators, existing by virtue of Yuanzhen Realm’s rules.

Meanwhile, the mightiest universes surpass even the mission world that Zhou Kongming previously visited.

The Weapon Realm universe, though not matching the absolute top few universes, is still quite impressive.

With relatively loose law density, even a Nascent Soul can unleash earth-shattering power…

The chaos before her made Chi Jiuyu scratch her head.

She had just been looking around—how did a sword suddenly pop out and try to claim her as its master, and make such a huge commotion…?

“What do you think we should do?”

Chi Jiuyu asked her primordial sword within her mind.

Just arrived in the mission world, and before the mission even refreshed—this much attention…

Isn’t that a bit too much?

Yet no sooner had she asked than she felt a throb in her third eye.

The emerald-gold sword writhed violently; she even felt it was more agitated now than when she’d last seen Yueying.

“Damn it! Damn it!! Damn it!!!”

A spirit-voice brimming with boundless fury echoed repeatedly, leaving Chi Jiuyu momentarily stunned.

Wait—

Is my primordial sword on drugs?

Hold on—

Could it be because that damn sword wants to claim me as its master?

Realizing this, she immediately released her primordial sword.

ZHUM!

A brilliant emerald-gold radiance shot from her third eye, forming an ancient emerald-gold longsword that circled the heavens, its swordlight radiating immeasurable slaughter intent—like countless fine, pure white needles.

In an instant, it drowned out the rising sword's malevolent energy.

Under the invasion of higher-tier power, even the fundamental laws of the Chengwu Realm itself rapidly shifted.

The cultivators still within the Chengwu Realm stared blankly at the sky.

What kind of day is this today—now even a “Yang Heaven Treasure” has appeared…

“You’re trying to steal my master!” The furious voice carried a hint of childishness.

It sounded like a little girl throwing a tantrum…

But no one here thought so—the sonic waves piled upon each other, warping space, and visible distortions appeared across the Chengwu Realm itself.

With a single roar, the already cracked sword body grew even more shattered.

Ten Extreme Swords: “…”

It felt as if its sword spirit were a candle in the wind, ready to be snuffed out under the oppressive force of that violent slaughter intent.

Not fair—I waited so many years just to finally find a worthy sword-bearer…

And now it turns out to be a swordsman who wields a Yang Heaven Treasure!

Chi Jiuyu stared at the scene before her, at a loss for words.

Hmm…

To be honest, she’d never seen her primordial sword this angry before.

Above.

The giant turtle, merged with a star and locked in stalemate with the Ten Extreme Swords, had nearly awakened under the stimulation of the sword's malevolent energy.

But upon seeing the emerald-gold sword’s blade effortlessly crush the sword's malevolent energy, it halted its awakening and sank back into slumber.

Commonly known as pretending to be dead.

…

…

Tai Xuan Realm, Outer Sect of the Sword Sect.

Ascension Hall.

Inside the hall, as the last member of the group stepped onto the ascension platform’s core, they were dispatched into a great universe within Yuanzhen Realm.

The third batch of Sword Sect ascension envoys had all been deployed.

Xu Xing, via the ascension platform’s core and linked through the Tai Xuan Immortal Net, issued corresponding missions based on each individual’s condition and destination universe.

Having finished this, he nodded in satisfaction.

“The third batch of ascension envoys has been fully deployed. This matter is now concluded.” He turned to Du Ruoheng beside him. “Master, do you have any other issues to discuss?”

His voice echoed through the silent Ascension Hall, thickening the already oppressive atmosphere.

Hearing this, Du Ruoheng’s eyes lit up, and his spine straightened slightly.

“Grandmaster, I do have an issue I humbly ask you to advise on.”

Several of the Tongxuan Elders nearby shifted their expressions.

The Master’s gonna complain again!

“Grandmaster, since the third batch of ascension envoys has been fully delivered, I—”

But before he could finish, Xu Xing cut him off.

“Wait a moment. Let’s hear what the Master has to say—you can also help me weigh in.”

“...”

Is this about seeking advice?

I bet we’ll end up being the “problem” to be solved.

…

…

Some time later, the last stars faded as dawn approached.

A pale gray hue had already begun to tint the distant horizon.

Xu Xing stepped out of the Ascension Hall; the Master followed closely behind, leaving behind several Tongxuan Elders inside, their faces as if they’d lost a loved one.

After walking a considerable distance,

Xu Xing, noticing Du Ruoheng still trailing him, sighed in exasperation:

“Master, we’ve walked this far already—do you really need to follow me?”

Du Ruoheng halted.

True enough—this place was already far from the Ascension Hall.

“Then, Grandmaster, I take my leave.”

“Go ahead.”

Du Ruoheng bowed deeply.

Straightening up, swordlight flared around him, surging into the high heavens.

At its peak, dozens of sword-intent spiritual bodies detached from the light, each heading toward different parts of the Sword Sect.

A new day had begun—the Master still had plenty to handle.

Xu Xing: “...”

The Master really has it tough.

Jiuyu’s always wanted to be Master, but with her flighty nature, I wonder if she could even handle the workload.

With this thought, Xu Xing took a step forward.

His entire body vanished; when he reappeared, he stood within the Dao Hall of the Sword Ancestor’s Hall.

Sitting in the center of the Dao Hall, he pulled out his phone, opened the messaging app, and entered the Boss Group.

These past days, since his sister had entered seclusion, the group had grown noticeably quieter.

After all, the ones who usually chatted the most were his sister and the Meizu …

The group messages still lingered on their previous discussion about Yuanzhen Realm.

Dan Zu: "If only worlds of Dao-Union level have the potential to become multiverses"

Dan Zu: "Then what direction would such worlds evolve toward if their level were even higher?"

Hong Zun: "In fact, this can already be discerned from the Method of World Derivation"

Hong Zun: "Multiverse-type worlds center on the primary timeline, with every different possibility branching into new sub-timelines"

Hong Zun: "But Dao-Union level worlds still have limits; the number of sub-timelines they can spawn is constrained by the strength of the primary timeline and cannot endlessly generate new ones"

Hong Zun: "According to my calculations, a world’s level must reach Dongzhen, and its primary timeline must be singular, to ensure continuous generation of sub-timelines"

Hong Zun: "The stronger it becomes, the more singular it grows—and the more infinite it becomes"

Hong Zun: "The ultimate state of such a world might be named 'Infinite Multiverse'"

The ultimate state refers to the super-large world of Dongzhen level.

This is also the absolute limit a world can reach according to his calculations.

As for worlds whose level can accommodate beings such as 'Immortals' or 'Ancestors'...

Hong Zun is currently unable to calculate the exact process of transformation a world must undergo to achieve such a leap.

Worlds like Taixuan World are even more inconceivable.
