Chapter 639: The Authority of the Extremes of Emptiness, The Person of the Greatest Good

"A dead end," Xu Xing said.

Hearing Huo's explanation, he also roughly understood the basic principle behind how the Taiyi Realm achieved its own metamorphosis.

Using the light of worlds as a bond, it sorted out the 'disorder' within the Primordial Sea while unifying the myriad realms, and through this method radiated its own unique system to even more domains.

On the day when the radiated domains became vast enough, gathering the uplifting force of the myriad realms, It would naturally be able to cross that final chasm.

The idea wasn't wrong, and at first glance the method of advancement seemed very reasonable.

But as the saying goes—

This matter was fundamentally wrong!

A unique cultivation system…

This meant It had to break free from the original transcendent order.

But now the Tai Xuan Realm stood supreme, radiating the chaotic heavens, and Xuan, who attained the Dao innately, was the supreme existence who was the source of the transcendent and defined the order of the transcendent.

So if the Taiyi Realm truly wished to achieve metamorphosis in this manner and advance to become a Dongzhen Greater Realm, it would mean It had to possess the power to shake, or even obliterate, the transcendent order defined by Xuan.

But was that possible?

The so-called Progenitor of the Myriad Realms' Mysteries held not a shred of falsehood.

One must know that in the primordial era, even within the three thousand years after Xu Xing achieved immortality, the cultivation path walked by the human race was still that set of Fetal Breath, Condensing Unity, Forging Spirit, Nurturing Self, and Extending Void.

Even Xu Xing, who had already become a True Immortal, still needed three thousand years before he could shake the originally defined transcendent order.

Let alone a Taiyi Realm of the Tongxuan tier?

"Among the myriad methods of world metamorphosis, It just had to pick one that fundamentally leads nowhere," Xu Xing sighed.

The boundless, immeasurable chaos truly contained every kind of world imaginable.

Xuan didn't even need to do anything; he only had to wait until the day the Taiyi Realm had accumulated enough to begin its metamorphosis, and the existing transcendent order would crush it.

"Indeed."

Although Huo wasn't in the core group chat.

But this was after all a major matter concerning Xuan's path of the Dao's source, so Xu Xing had still specifically told him about it.

"Once we sort out the Taiyi Realm later, we can just correct it then."

Given the current state of affairs, even they had no way to deal with the transcendent order defined by Xuan.

Being able to establish an independent cultivation system of their own, reducing the benefits Xuan could reap from it, was already the limit.

Of course, the Taiyi Realm was, after all, a Tongxuan-tier, high-energy Greater World just one step away from achieving metamorphosis.

Unlike the Earth Immortal Realm, it didn't need to recuperate, and its help to the 'Ascension Plan' was still considerable.

As for what Huo meant by 'sorting it out'…

The Taiyi Realm was not a world dominated by the human race, so of course that needed to be 'corrected.'

"Dao Brother maintains the Immortal Net, encompassing both domains. If the Immortal Net's range were to expand further outward, would it perhaps…"

"It's fine," Xu Xing shook his head slightly. "If we build the Immortal Net's connection nodes step by step, expanding the domains little by little, it won't affect my state in the Tai Xuan Realm."

The power of a True Immortal was inexhaustible.

Previously, he had only worried that extending his power too far in one go would cause the Dao scars he left in the Tai Xuan Realm to shift, giving Xuan an opening.

But as long as he didn't deploy his power to more distant domains all at once on a massive scale, the various Dao scars he had left in the Tai Xuan Realm would not be affected.

"Could it be that the Taiyi Realm's metamorphosis is imminent?"

"You could say that too. In roughly a thousand years or so, the Taiyi Realm's accumulation will reach what is needed for metamorphosis."

A thousand years was already an extremely long timescale for ordinary people.

But for a world, it was nothing.

"That's good then, it's enough."

A thousand years, at the current pace of the Immortal Net's expansion, was already enough for the Tai Xuan Immortal Net to cover and encompass the domain where the Taiyi Realm was located.

"Since Dao Brother has a plan, I won't say more." Huo's tone carried a hint of reluctance.

He seemed to regret that he couldn't personally handle the Taiyi Realm.

"Farewell."

"…" Xu Xing was silent for a moment. "Walk safely, Daoist friend."

As the words fell, Huo's figure gradually faded, finally disappearing completely before the Sword Ancestor Hall.

Xu Xing glanced at the spot where he had just been, then turned back to continue gazing at the Sword Sect, watching the clouds below unfurl and roll.

Given Huo's style of doing things…

If he truly honestly stopped interfering with the Taiyi Realm from here on, that would be what seemed abnormal.

Among all living beings in the world, who can be free of doubt?

Among the thirteen True Immortals of Tai Xuan, his combat power might not be especially strong, but when it came to being bizarre and secretive, he was undeniably first.

Undoubtedly, regarding the matter of the Taiyi Realm, he must have been hiding something…

"Enough."

Although Huo harbored extreme hatred for the demon race and acted whimsically, when it came to truly major matters, he still had a good sense of proportion.

Moreover, the domain where the Taiyi Realm was located was very distant. Relying solely on that wisp of power deployed there, even if there were some remnants, it probably couldn't cause any major trouble.

Mm!

Probably…

Right?

……

……

Taiyi Realm.

After Ning Sister Wan Zhu and Ming Yu, relying on the trump cards Ning Wanyin had given them, stimulated the power of Dongzhen, they successfully passed through the "Radiant Layer" condensed from the light of countless worlds, pierced through the world's crystal wall system, and entered the interior of the world.

Buzz buzz~!

A cacophony of countless sounds kept pouring into their ears, while before their eyes appeared one bizarre and otherworldly scene after another.

Even though they had already reached Tongxuan, under the ultra-high speed wrapped in the power of Dongzhen, what they could clearly discern was extremely limited.

Demon Moon Heaven.

Densely packed, wolf-headed, human-bodied werewolves howled madly at the moon, charging across a black-red battlefield soaked in fresh blood.

One after another, fearless of death, they charged toward the opposite side of the battlefield — blood demons with wings on their backs, sharp beaks and fangs, eyes flickering with a crimson gleam, every movement swift as lightning.

Gold Completion Heaven.

Palaces soared into the clouds.

Tall giants nearly ten meters in height, clad in armor, held long whips in their hands, watching with amusement the diminutive race below them — like ants — who bore massive stones on their backs and struggled forward.

A casual flick of the long whip in their hands could actually smash those diminutive beings into a burst of blood mist.

Mutual Thousand Heaven.

Ten thousand races contended for dominance, fleets of starships waged endless war…

Just like that, no one knew how long it had passed, as their figures, wrapped in the power of Dongzhen, pierced through layer upon layer of restrictions, through the seventy-two layers of "Lower Heaven" and thirty-six layers of "Upper Heaven" of the Taiyi Realm.

Finally, at the moment when the power of Dongzhen surrounding them dissipated.

The bizarre and otherworldly scenes in the eyes of the two faded, and everything once again became clear.

What came into view was a sacred building, erected among encircling snow mountains, towering above the clouds, like a heavenly palace.

As if carved from a single block of solid ice, its dome was inlaid with nine thousand captured and compressed stars, which burst forth in prismatic seven-colored light under the sun.

Rows of translucent palace pillars lined both sides, within each of which was sealed a figure after another — they wore resplendent golden long robes, crowns upon their heads, worshipping the holy city of the heavenly palace ahead with an attitude of absolute devotion.

Even their hearts still beat within the absolute zero, transmitting a muffled drum-like resonance of heartbeats through the ice.

Within the holy city, a slender black spire could be seen rising above the holy city, piercing straight into the clouds, a thread of light piercing through from its tip through the world, seemingly resonating with the countless worlds beyond the Taiyi Realm.

"Outsiders, welcome to the Empty Extremity Holy Domain."
