Chapter 633: The Realm Guarded by Ten Thousand Worlds

As the light surrounding them faded, Ning Sister Wan Zhu and Ming Yu came to a halt at the border of 【Second · Abyss-Seeking Realm Domain】.

The two watched the unfamiliar region just a hair's breadth away with wary eyes, making no rash moves.

At first glance, beyond the border was nothing but haze — no different from the two realm domains already encompassed by the Immortal Net.

But upon closer sensation, one could feel that beyond the border of 【Second · Abyss-Seeking Realm Domain】 was 'chaotic' and 'alien'.

As if countless concepts had been violently kneaded together, akin to the moment when the world was first born, when chaos was undivided and yin and yang had yet to be distinguished…

Even more 'disordered' than that!

"Without the protection of the Immortal Net, finding the Abyss in this vast Sea of Chaos would be no ordinary difficulty," Sister Wan Zhu said softly.

The path they walked offered no aid in traversing the Sea of Chaos, and their own realm had not yet reached Dongzhen, the stage of 'penetrating the true essence'.

Relying on themselves alone, merely arriving here would likely cost at least a hundred years.

"His journey here must not have been easy either…" Ming Yu sighed softly.

Though the Abyss was at Dongzhen, the Dao he cultivated was indeed suited to traversing the Sea of Chaos.

But he was ultimately not a True Immortal, and could not walk as though on level ground the way the True Immortal Ancestor did.

All these years he had not only endured the boundless solitude of the vast Sea of Chaos, but also groped his way forward as he went…

The Abyss's homeland…

A thousand thoughts churned in her heart, but they quickly settled; a glint of resolve flashed in Ming Yu's eyes.

"Let's go!"

"Mm."

At once, the two crossed the border and truly entered the unfamiliar realm domain!

Almost in an instant!

A tremendous pressure surged in from all directions, and even perception itself seemed to go awry at that moment.

Up and down inverted, front and back out of order.

Before her eyes, all around, and even her very self seemed repeatedly compressed and stretched, as boundless chaotic breath surged forth, seemingly containing every color of existence within.

A hair's breadth apart, yet a world of difference!

Fortunately, this state did not last too long; the two only needed a brief adjustment to adapt to these strange sensations.

Though they had not reached Dongzhen, they were at least Revered Ones of Tongxuan; even without the Immortal Net's protection activating the state of 'Perceptual Sublimation', they could adapt on their own.

At most, the time it took to adapt would be a little longer.

'So this is the unfamiliar region…'

That single thought flashed through both their minds at once as they adjusted.

Measured against the regions where they had previously set up Immortal Net connection nodes, they now felt as though they had arrived at the bottomless depths of a vast ocean.

Every single movement was a thousand times harder than before!

According to what Master / Elder Lingzu had said, the so-called 'unfamiliar region' referred to places beyond the gaze of True Immortals.

Everything was 'unknown' and 'disordered'; every action required one to sense and comprehend what was touched, so as to minimize the influence of the unfamiliar region of the Sea of Chaos upon oneself.

Recalling what Ning Ruo had instructed, Ming Yu stilled her heart and sensed for a good while, before finally attempting to raise her hand.

Whooosh~

Wisps of chaotic breath could be seen coiling around her fingertips.

A small portion of it was drawn in by the Dao resonance surrounding her; as she comprehended this region, it gathered together, forming one after another incomprehensibly feeble worlds.

Frail, minuscule.

Almost the instant they were born, they headed toward destruction.

Feeble worlds born from a single thought, only to head toward destruction as that thought faded…

A touch of enlightenment rose in Ming Yu's heart; she then drew in the Dao resonance around her, lowered her hand, and looked ahead:

"Looks like we have our work cut out for us."

A single realm domain covered an immensely vast range, and their every move was no longer as effortless as before.

One hundred twenty-nine thousand six hundred main nodes, each main node requiring one hundred twenty-eight auxiliary nodes for support…

The workload was no ordinary magnitude.

"Indeed, no wonder Master told us not to rush."

As she spoke, Sister Wan Zhu suddenly pressed two fingers together like a sword, and a spark-like crimson light slowly lit up at her fingertip.

Clearly exceedingly faint, as if a gust of wind could extinguish it, yet the instant it appeared it caused the surrounding chaotic breath to churn.

As if pressed by an irresistible, terrifying force, it was pushed aside in all directions.

It was she who, through the Grand Mystery Immortal Net, had mobilized a wisp of the Net Core's power.

"In any case, let's first survey the general situation of this realm domain."

As her words fell, Sister Wan Zhu raised her hand and pointed forward!

Hum~!

A clear, soaring sword-cry rang out with piercing clarity through the vast Sea of Chaos, and a thread of crimson light was seen tearing open the chaos, causing the surrounding chaos itself to tremble!

The two watched with nervous attention.

A long while…

That thread of crimson light reached the far shore and dissipated into nothing, and everything returned to calm once more.

No anomalies occurred, and both breathed a sigh of relief.

"All clear."

This move was primarily to probe whether any Cang Clan existed within the delineated realm domain's range, and whether any worlds within that range had been affected by the methods of Gu or Xuan.

"If only we could keep calling on immortal power like this…"

Ming Yu stared at the still-unsealed chaotic energy ahead with a hint of longing.

"Indeed," Ning Wan Zhu smiled faintly. "But having even a few chances to mobilize Immortal energy is already quite good."

The Immortal Network was built around the power of the Master Jianzu.

Yet the burden on the Master Jianzu is immense.

He must maintain the stability of the two previous realms, constantly monitor the frontlines of the Starry Sky battlefield, and also search for suitable worlds to guide the birth of 'Ascendants'…

And even in moments of crisis, he must pull them back to Tai Xuan Realm.

For him to spare even a fraction of his power for them to construct the Immortal Network's connection nodes is already extremely difficult.

"I was just saying that…"

She knew well what Ning Wan Zhu meant.

The Founding Masters all had urgent duties; the only one with any slight freedom was Master Xiang Yuanjun.

But even that was relative—Central Continent still could not do without her…

And to rely on Master Xiang Yuanjun's power to protect oneself would be no different from seeking death!

"Let's begin."

Ming Yu stepped forward, but her movements were like wading through mud—each gesture, each step excruciatingly sluggish.

She intended to first clear a region and establish the first main node.

Before she had taken even a few steps…

"Wait!"

Ning Wan Zhu's voice carried urgency and astonishment.

Hm?

Ming Yu turned her head to look.

"Look over there!"

Following Ning Wan Zhu's pointing gaze, she saw beyond the defined boundary of the realm!

In the hazy chaos, tiny blue specks of light, like stars, flickered one after another, dimming and brightening irregularly.

As if a river of stars had fallen into the chaos, the heavens' countless stars shimmering in unison.

"That's…" Ming Yu frowned tightly.

"Worlds!" Ning Wan Zhu's tone was utterly certain.

They were worlds—unconcealed, even daring to radiate their light without restraint in this vast sea of chaos!

Among the many worlds surrounding them was a single, exceptionally bright "star."

If the other "stars" could barely be glimpsed through the faint red slash that cut through chaos, aided by the Immortal Network's enhanced perception…

Then the central, surrounded "light" was brilliant and dazzling, like a luminous pearl, overwhelmingly radiant!

A Great World!

At the very least, a Great World of He Dao level!

…

…

At night, the inner grounds of Ling Yin Fang were as bright as day.

The Divine Tree towered high, its branches and leaves of glazed white jade clashing softly, chiming like bells, refracting intersecting beams of seven-colored light—magnificent and dreamlike.
