Chapter 643

The Third Supreme Authority—Yuan Xu!

Yuan Xu?!

Feeling that familiar trace of qi within the swirling, hazy chaos of the world.

Ning Sister Sister Sister Wan Zhu and Ming Yu were deeply shaken.

It couldn't be wrong!

That was definitely Yuan!

Could this Yuan Xu Realm actually be connected to Yuan?!

But that doesn't make sense!

As one of the three strongest realms within the Taiyi Realm Domain, apart from Taiyi itself, the Yuan Xu Realm's energy level has reached He Dao.

In some ways, it even surpasses the Yuan Zhen Realm previously discovered.

When their master/Spirit Ancestor had explained certain precautions during the setup of the Immortal Network's connection nodes, they had mentioned this very thing.

Even a True Immortal would need considerable effort to create a Great World with a He Dao energy level from nothing.

He Dao is itself an exceptionally unique realm.

Practitioners at the Dong Zhen level should absolutely not be capable of creating a He Dao Great World in such a short time.

Inside the Gao Ta.

Kong Ji, the Holy Master currently meditating to seize the authority, also sensed the intense emotional fluctuations of the two, and slowly opened his closed eyes.

"What's wrong? Is the Third Supreme Authority connected to the person you're searching for?"

"..." After a brief silence, Ming Yu replied, "Unclear. There might be some connection, but logically, it shouldn't be possible."

This statement was somewhat incoherent.

But Kong Ji, the Holy Master, reminded them.

"Perhaps the person you're searching for once altered the Yuan Xu Realm?"

The two froze.

Suddenly, they realized.

Of course!

Why assume Yuan created the Yuan Xu Realm?

It's also possible he merely intervened during its formation or its energy leap, which is why his qi trace remains...

"Possibly," Ning Sister Sister Sister Wan Zhu nodded slightly.

Either way, they now had a clear direction.

Kong Ji smiled faintly, closed her eyes, and resumed her struggle for authority with Dong Ming.

This opportunity is rare.

Dong Ming never expected two helpers comparable to top-tier "Ascended Saints" would suddenly appear on the other side—he suffered a major setback.

But next time, with preparation, it would be hard to achieve such an effect again.

After all, while none in Dong Ming's faction matched the two outsiders, there were still many "Ascended Saints" present.

For a time, silence fell within the Gao Ta.

Around Kong Ji, soft, pure light shimmered.

Beside her, Ning Sister Sister Sister Wan Zhu and Ming Yu likewise used this opportunity to explore the Yuan Xu Realm.

Thus, over a month passed.

A pure white, slowly rotating rhombic crystal mark slowly formed within the Yuan Xu Realm.

And those cold, deep purple eyes remained suspended high above.

Dong Ming watched helplessly as part of the "Yuan Xu" authority he had already seized was forcibly taken by Kong Ji.

"Kong Ji, you've won this time."

A chilling voice echoed strangely throughout the entire Yuan Xu Realm.

No resentment. No bitterness.

To achieve one's goal by any means—this, in his view, was perfectly normal.

He lost this round; next time, he'd simply prepare.

"The two Ascended Saints who helped you have spent this time exploring the Yuan Xu Realm—they must be searching for something."

Though Ning Sister Sister Sister Wan Zhu and Ming Yu had deliberately concealed their spiritual senses, they could not escape his notice.

"What are you getting at?" Kong Ji said coolly.

"Heh!" Dong Ming sneered, "The person they're seeking—I know far more about him than you do."

Hm?

Ning Sister Sister Sister Wan Zhu and Ming Yu paused, then fixed their gaze on those eyes.

Boom!

In an instant, their spiritual senses seemed to materialize inside a grim, dark hall.

Around them, demonic ghosts shrieked, monstrous fallen deities devoured the blood and flesh of great beasts, while bone dragons dripping foul black water darted through dark clouds.

Within the hall, layers of ghostly fire burned, and on either side of the pillars were carvings of ferocious, malevolent spirits.

Lifelike, as if they might leap out at any moment and tear a person apart.

Upon the highest black throne, a young man with deep purple eyes and a black robe leaned casually, gazing calmly ahead.

Above his head, the black thorned Wang Guan resembled a dense shadow.

Around the Wang Zuo, visible distortions swirled, as if 'Chaos' and 'Disorder' had been made manifest.

Very quickly, he seemed to sense something.

He raised his head and looked toward the top of the great hall.

In an instant, his gaze crossed the vast distance and locked directly onto Ning Sister Sister Sister Wan Zhu and Ming Yu, a hint of mockery appearing in his eyes.

"I know everything you two are looking for."

That voice was like a whisper from the abyss, as if it could stir up the deepest thoughts buried in a person's heart.

"Bewitching sorcery."

A calm voice rang out, directly nullifying that bewitching evil power.

"Heh!"

The tone of the Dongming Kongji Shengzhu still carried mockery.

"Kong Ji, someone like you understands nothing. No wonder you weren't chosen."

Chosen?

Chosen for what?

The doubts had just risen in his heart.

Yet after saying these words, the Dongming Kongji Shengzhu seemed to lose interest, and with a wave of his hand, he severed the three's spiritual probing.

The core region of the Kongji Holy Domain, within the Gao Ta.

Ning Sister Sister Sister Wan Zhu and Ming Yu both fell silent for a time, recalling everything the Dongming Kongji Shengzhu had just said.

"Don't take his words too seriously." The Kongji Kongji Shengzhu looked at the two and said, "He has always been skilled at using deceptive words to beguile others."

Many living beings of the Taiyi Realm had been deceived by him.

The two were startled.

Was it really just deliberate mystification…?

Ming Yu looked toward Ning Sister Sister Sister Wan Zhu.

Ning Sister Sister Sister Wan Zhu paused, and did not, as before, give a reply right away.

The complete opposite of the Kongji Kongji Shengzhu.

The Dongming Kongji Shengzhu, who worshipped 'Chaos' and 'the law of the jungle,' was, in her perception, pure 'utter evil.'

At the very least, within the framework of good and evil built by her own understanding, the Dongming Kongji Shengzhu was an 'utter evil person,' utterly unlike the Kongji Kongji Shengzhu.

But when the Dongming Kongji Shengzhu had spoken those words just now, Ning Sister Sister Sister Wan Zhu had not sensed the slightest 'deception' in him—only 'contempt' and 'malice.'

Chosen, chosen…

What does this have to do with the Yuan?

Of course, it was also possible that the Dongming Kongji Shengzhu was simply special, and had concealed it from her as well.

After all, the Taiyi Realm had its own self-contained transcendent system, and the Dongming Kongji Shengzhu's cultivation was also a bit higher than hers…

"Understood."

Even so, Ning Sister Sister Sister Wan Zhu still kept a watchful eye, and transmitted her explanation to Ming Yu as well.

The Kongji Kongji Shengzhu noticed the two's movements, but did not pay them much mind.

They had only known each other for a short while; if she said something and they believed it without question, that would be the strange thing.

"Thanks to the help of the two of you this time, I have already obtained a portion of the authority over the 'Yuanxu.'"

Saying so, the Kongji Kongji Shengzhu spread her hand.

A strange power emanated from her palm, gradually spreading outward.

In an instant!

The surrounding scenery began to twist and warp, and finally, like streams of 'flowing water,' it continuously 'poured' toward her palm.

Soon, everything in the surroundings had poured entirely into the Kongji Kongji Shengzhu's hand, transforming into a black Gao Ta inscribed all over with runes.
