Chapter 638

“The Taiyi Realm...”

Beyond the domain formed by the intersecting light of infinite worlds, two peculiar streams of light, constantly shifting in color, slowly took shape.

Compared to the Taiyi Realm’s unification of countless worlds and the boundless, interwoven light rising from them, these two peculiar light streams seemed utterly insignificant.

Yet, even that blazing light illuminating all realms and heavens felt “fragile” and “insignificant” before these peculiar light streams, as if they existed on entirely different levels.

“Or perhaps one could call it the Taiyi Realm domain...”

Ming Yu, now fully manifested, gazed at the blazing Taiyi Realm ahead, her eyes flickering with undefined emotion.

Beside her, Ning Wanzhu also stared silently at the starlike cluster of worlds, unable to return to herself for a long while.

In terms of energy level, the Immortal Realm of Dongzhen still surpassed the Taiyi Realm.

But even their first encounter with the Immortal Realm had not shaken them as profoundly as this sight of the Taiyi Realm.

The realm surrounded by myriad worlds, or rather...

The realm that unifies all worlds!

As their “embodiments of doubt” grew increasingly solid, the sense of unreality faded, and the peculiar, color-shifting light streams encircling them gradually dissipated.

The “light of doubt” provided by Huo was nearly exhausted.

When the last trace of light vanished, they would lose the empowerment of true-immortal power and become ordinary manifestations with Tongxuan-level combat ability.

With this final moment remaining, the two carefully observed the Taiyi Realm and its surrounding worlds.

Viewing the domain before them from this higher perspective, they soon detected something amiss.

The blazing, interwoven light of the worlds appeared chaotic and disordered, but upon closer inspection of their “flow,” one could discern that each world’s brightest ray of light was “directed” —

All of them flowed toward the center, toward the Taiyi Realm that unified countless worlds.

In other words, the surrounding worlds established an extremely peculiar “subordinate” relationship with the core Taiyi Realm by “illuminating” themselves.

Precisely!

If the central world were the monarch of this domain, then all other worlds within it were the “subjects” of the Taiyi Realm.

To some extent, this entire domain itself was the true “Taiyi Realm.”

“Too boundless, revered as the One Dao...” Ning Wanzhu whispered.

“Not just that,” Ming Yu said gravely. “Look at those rays of light flowing elsewhere.”

Generally, the Chaos Sea itself is extremely “chaotic” and “disordered.”

Every step taken within it requires prior “understanding” to proceed.

But the Taiyi Realm domain is different.

Among the rising, competing light of the worlds, besides the brightest ray flowing toward the central Taiyi Realm, the light flowing outward was not useless.

These rays illuminated the Chaos, making the inherently chaotic concepts within the domain become “clear” and “ordered.”

Although each individual world could only “clarify” a limited set of concepts, the convergence of infinite world-lights rendered this entire domain orderly and harmonious.

Wherever the “light of Taiyi” shone, chaos vanished, disorder ceased!

“Truly remarkable...” Ming Yu sighed softly.

Only when establishing the Immortal Network nodes in the [Second · Xun Yuan Realm] had they truly felt the “chaos” and “disorder” of an alien realm.

Without exaggeration, even a Dongzhen entity who had penetrated the true nature of things would find it troublesome.

Yet here, the Taiyi Realm, by unifying countless worlds and radiating their luminous light, had clarified the inherent “chaos” of the Chaos Sea...

It was indeed extraordinary!

All these reflections occurred in an instant; the peculiar light streams around them grew dimmer, nearly vanished.

And their gaze finally reached the magnificent world at the heart of the myriad surrounding realms.

Easily piercing its outer layers, their vision passed through the “luminous layer” formed by the converging light of surrounding worlds, revealing three peculiar worlds encircling the Taiyi Realm — pure white, pale blue, and deep violet.

Kongji, Dongming, and...

BOOM!

Just as they were about to clearly perceive the final peculiar world, their perception was suddenly flooded with boundless, glorious light, and the sensation of overlooking all things vanished.

The peculiar light streams surrounding them had completely faded, and their perception thus plummeted from the higher level.

After all, without the empowerment of true-immortal power, they were merely Tongxuan-level beings — naturally incapable of perceiving the full form of the Taiyi Realm, whose energy level reached the Tongxuan limit, just one step away from transformation.

“...” Ming Yu paused, then turned to Ning Wanzhu beside her. “It seems we must enter the interior.”

“Mm.” Ning Wanzhu nodded lightly.

Without hesitation, the two stepped directly across the boundary and entered the “Taiyi Realm domain” illuminated by the infinite light of countless worlds.

After all, this was merely one “embodiment of doubt” — losing it would cause no harm whatsoever.

As for whether they might be traced back to their true bodies by the forces of cause and effect...

Huo would surely be delighted to witness this!

Almost instantly, everything in their perception began shifting rapidly, much like when they first stepped into an alien realm.

Unlike before, however, they did not feel the overwhelming pressure pressing in from all sides.

Instead, they felt a sense of ease.

Even the pressure brought by the alien realm’s “chaos” and “disorder” vanished completely.

Yet the two did not lower their guard.

On the contrary, their sense of warning grew stronger.

Both Ning Wanzhu and Ming Yu sensed a peculiar influence quietly taking hold, as if seeking to alter the fundamental nature of their spiritual power at its root.

No!

It was more accurate to say it sought to “correct” their foundational cultivation.

The two followed the most orthodox cultivation system of the Taixuan Realm —

Starting from Qi Refining, forging the Dao Foundation, condensing the Golden Core, and ascending to the Nascent Soul.

Each step along the path — Soul Transformation, Returning to Emptiness, Harmonizing the Dao, until reaching Tongxuan — had been firmly and steadily traversed.

But within this Taiyi Realm domain, their foundations were “wrong,” and needed to be “corrected.”

In simple terms, the Taiyi Realm domain had clarified its own “chaos” and “disorder,” establishing its own system — and thus refused to acknowledge their cultivation path.

Yet...

“Let’s go.”

Ning Wanzhu spoke gravely, walking toward the central world of the Taiyi Realm domain.

“Mm.”

Ming Yu followed beside her.

Though both felt that peculiar influence, neither abandoned their desire to explore.

Cultivators who reach the Harmonizing the Dao stage can perceive their true selves and consolidate their singular path.

Even across the boundless Chaos Sea and infinite worlds, no two Harmonizing the Dao cultivators are identical.

Harmonizing the Dao is singular, unaffected by external forces.

And this is even more true for those who have advanced further to Tongxuan.

Even if the Taiyi Realm had not yet reached Dongzhen energy level, even if it truly transformed into a Dongzhen Great Realm, it could never reverse the foundational cultivation of any Harmonizing the Dao cultivator.

As the two passed through the dazzling world-light and drew ever closer to the Taiyi Realm...

The Taiyi Realm perhaps realized it could not alter the foundations of these two intruders.

Then!

BOOM!

The entire realm seemed to tremble as one.

The “luminous layer” formed by the brightest rays of light from surrounding worlds violently trembled.

Instantly!

The countless worlds encircling the Taiyi Realm, shining like stars, flickered in unison.

At that same moment, Ning Wanzhu and Ming Yu, walking within the world-light, felt a vast, unstoppable force of repulsion surge toward them from ahead.

Hm?!

Their expressions changed instantly — within a fraction of an instant, they were swept away by that repulsive force, hurled outward beyond the Taiyi Realm domain.
