Chapter 638: Sorting Out 'Disorder,' Seeking Dongzhen

"The Taiyi Realm…"

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

Compared to the Taiyi Realm's immeasurable light that unified many worlds and rose in interweaving brilliance, the two strange streams of light appeared utterly unremarkable.

Yet, the blazing light that illuminated the myriad heavens of this domain felt 'fragile' and 'insignificant' before those strange streams of light, as if the two simply did not exist on the same level.

"Or perhaps it could be called the Taiyi Domain…"

Mo Ruyan, now fully manifested, gazed at the incomparably blazing Taiyi Realm ahead, a nameless emotion flickering in her eyes.

Beside her, Sister Wan Zhu also stared blankly at the star-like cluster of worlds, unable to collect herself for a long time.

In terms of energy level, the Earth Immortal Realm, which had reached the Dongzhen energy level, still stood above this Taiyi Realm.

But even when they had first seen the Earth Immortal Realm before, the shock it gave them was far less intense than what they felt now upon seeing the Taiyi Realm.

The realm guarded by ten thousand worlds, or rather…

The realm that unifies ten thousand worlds!

As their 'Doubt Incarnations' grew increasingly solid and the sense of illusion gradually faded, the strange streams of light shifting in color around them also dissipated bit by bit.

The 'Light of Doubt' granted by Huo was about to be exhausted.

When the last wisp of light faded, they would lose the augmentation of True Immortal power and become ordinary incarnations with Tongxuan combat strength.

Taking advantage of these final moments, the two carefully observed the Taiyi Realm and the worlds surrounding it.

Viewing the domain before them from this higher perspective, they quickly noticed something unusual within it.

The rising, interweaving blazing light of the worlds seemed chaotic and disordered, but upon carefully observing their 'flow,' one could see that the brightest wisp of light from each world actually had a 'direction'—

They all flowed toward the very center, toward the Taiyi Realm that unified the many worlds.

One could also say that the surrounding worlds, by 'illuminating' themselves, had established an extremely peculiar 'subordinate' relationship with the core Taiyi Realm.

Exactly!

If the world at the very center were the sovereign of this domain, then the worlds within this domain would be the 'subjects' of the Taiyi Realm.

In fact, to a certain extent, this domain itself was the true 'Taiyi Realm.'

"Tai is immeasurable; the honored Dao is one…" Sister Wan Zhu said softly.

"Not just that." Mo Ruyan's Expression Grew Serious. "Look at the 'light' flowing elsewhere."

Generally speaking, the Chaos Sea itself was extremely 'chaotic' and 'disordered.'

Every step taken within it required first 'understanding' before one could proceed.

But the Taiyi Domain was different.

They saw that among the rising, competing lights of the worlds, besides the brightest wisp that flowed toward the central Taiyi Realm, the 'light' flowing toward the surroundings was not useless either.

The radiance illuminated the chaos, making the concepts that should have been chaotic within the domain become 'clear' and 'orderly.'

Although a single minor world could only 'clarify' a limited number of concepts, the gathered light of infinite worlds actually caused this entire domain to become orderly.

Wherever the 'Light of Taiyi' shone, chaos did not exist, and disorder was no more!

"Truly extraordinary…" Mo Ruyan sighed softly.

She had only experienced the 'chaos' and 'disorder' of an unfamiliar domain when building the Immortal Net connection node at the 【Second · Xunyuan Domain】 earlier.

It was no exaggeration to say that even a Dongzhen existence who had penetrated the fundamental truth would find it somewhat troublesome.

Yet this Taiyi Realm before them clarified the inherent 'chaos' of the Chaos Sea itself by unifying many worlds and radiating their brilliance…

Naturally, it was quite extraordinary!

All these emotions occurred in but a brief instant; the strange streams of light around the two grew dimmer and dimmer, nearly vanishing.

And their gaze finally reached the magnificent world of endless radiance at the center of the ten thousand worlds' guard.

Easily piercing its exterior, their gaze passed through the 'Radiance Layer' formed by the converging light from surrounding worlds, and what came into view were three peculiar worlds encircling the Taiyi Realm, their overall hues pure white, pale blue, and deep violet.

Kongji, Dongming, and…

Boom!

Just as they were about to see the final peculiar world clearly, their perception was suddenly flooded by endless, dazzling light, and they no longer felt that omniscient overview.

They saw the strange streams of light surrounding them completely fade, and their perception consequently dropped from that higher level.

After all, having lost the augmentation of True Immortal power, they themselves were only at Tongxuan, and naturally could not glimpse the full picture of the Taiyi Realm, whose energy level reached the limit of Tongxuan and was but a hair's breadth from achieving transformation.

"…" Mo Ruyan paused briefly in thought, then looked at Sister Wan Zhu beside her. "It seems we still need to go inside to take a look."

"Mm." Sister Wan Zhu nodded gently.

Having said this, the two did not hesitate much, and in a single step crossed the boundary, entering the 'Taiyi Domain' illuminated by the light of infinite worlds.

After all, it was merely a 'Doubt Incarnation'; even if it were truly lost, there would be no damage whatsoever.

As for whether tracing cause and effect back would implicate their true selves…

Huo would surely be delighted to see that!

In almost an instant, everything in their perception began to shift rapidly, similar to when they had first stepped into an unfamiliar domain before.

The difference was that they did not feel the immense pressure coming from all directions as they had before.

Instead, they felt a sense of ease.

Even the pressure brought by the 'chaos' and 'disorder' of the unfamiliar domain had completely dissipated.

However, the two did not let their guard down because of this.

On the contrary, the sense of alarm in their hearts grew stronger.

Both Sister Wan Zhu and Mo Ruyan could feel an extremely peculiar influence quietly taking hold, as if it intended to alter the very nature of their magic power at its root.

No!

It should be said, it intended to 'correct' their foundations.

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

From refining Qi and entering the Dao, forging the Dao Foundation, condensing the Jin Dan, advancing to Nascent Soul.

All the way in cultivation, from Soul Transformation, Return to Void, Dao Merging, and on to Tong Xuan—every step was walked very solidly.

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

Simply put, the Taiyi Realm had sorted out the 'chaos' and 'disorder' within the realm, and on its own formed a complete system, so it did not acknowledge their cultivation system.

Only……

"Let's go."

Ning Sister Wan Zhu's tone was solemn as she walked toward the world at the very center of the Taiyi Realm.

"Mm."

Ming Yu followed beside her.

Although both of them felt that peculiar influence, they did not abandon the idea of exploring because of it.

When a cultivator reaches the level of Dao Merging, they can illuminate their true self and converge into the singular.

Even amidst the vast Chaotic Sea and the measureless worlds like grains of sand, there would not be a second identical Dao Merging.

The Dao Merging is singular, undisturbed by the outside world.

As for the further step of Tong Xuan, there was even less need to say.

Let alone that Taiyi Realm had not yet reached the Cave True energy level—even if it truly completed its metamorphosis and became a Cave True Bie Dajie, it could not overturn the foundation of any single Dao Merging cultivator.

Just as the two passed through the dazzling light of worlds and drew ever closer to Taiyi Realm……

Taiyi Realm perhaps also sensed that it could not overturn the foundations of the two outsiders.

And so!

Boom!

The entire realm seemed to tremble all at once.

The 'Radiant Layer' formed by that brightest strand of light encircling the outside of Taiyi Realm among the many worlds shook violently.

Suddenly!

The numerous worlds gathered around Taiyi Realm, bright as stars, also flickered in unison at the same frequency.

At the same moment, Ning Sister Wan Zhu and Ming Yu, who were walking within the light of worlds, also felt a vast, overwhelming, irresistible terrifying repulsive force surging toward them from ahead.

Hm?!

The two's expressions changed, and in merely a billionth of an instant they were swept up by that repulsive force and pushed outside the Taiyi Realm.
