Chapter 648: The Extreme 'Chaos

At the energy level of the Taiyi Realm, it is utterly impossible to break through the supreme order imposed by Xuan.

The next second.

Qi Master: “/moved”

As the most overlooked person in the group, the others always unintentionally ignored his words.

Only the Dao Brother would take the time to explain seriously to him.

Unfortunately, although the Dao Brother’s posting frequency in the group wasn’t as low as Ling Zu’s, it was far lower than that of Ba Zun and Hong Zun.

Sword Ancestor: “...”

Hong Zun: “Let’s get back to the point—no more of this nonsense.”

Qi Master: “...”

Who the hell are you calling nonsense?!

But Hong Zun directly ignored his message.

Hong Zun: “Let me summarize.”

Hong Zun: “At the current pace, the Third Realm should take another five to six years to complete.”

Hong Zun: “And after the Third Realm, given the current situation, we can at most incorporate Taiyi Realm—or another unknown realm—into the Immortal Network.”

A realm requires twelve thousand nine hundred and sixty main nodes to stabilize the coverage of the former Taixuan Immortal Network.

Initially, Ning Wanzhu and Ming Yu built slowly due to their unfamiliarity with the alien realm.

But after adapting to the environment over this period, they can now construct dozens of main nodes per day.

And it’s foreseeable that the speed of connecting Immortal Network nodes will only increase further; accounting for rest periods, full completion will take roughly five to six years.

As for currently maintaining at most four realms...

Theoretically, as long as excessive power isn’t deployed at once, Xu Xing’s Dao traces in Taixuan Realm won’t shift.

After all, the power of a True Immortal is limitless.

But expanding the Immortal Network’s realms isn’t as simple as projecting Xu Xing’s power outward—it requires ensuring all functions of the network.

In short, the technical level isn’t up to par.

Xu Xing’s power is more than sufficient to meet the requirements of the Taixuan Immortal Network.

But to ensure stable operation of all functions at the current tier, four realms are the absolute limit.

More than that, the network’s functions can no longer guarantee stability, and even the original realms’ networks will be affected.

Sword Ancestor: “Then let’s choose Taiyi Realm as the fourth realm—what do you all think?”

Charm Ancestor: “I have no objections at all./little yellow duck spinning”

Spirit Ancestor: “.”

Yuan Jun: “Then Taiyi Realm it is.”

Hong Zun: “I have no objections.”

Dan Zu: “Whatever.”

Ba Zun: “Fine by me./side-eye smile”

They all understood why Xu Xing made this choice.

It’s all because of Yuan.

And according to the calculation results of the “Spatial Realm Coordinate Derivation Equation,” that direction is closer to the Dao Brother’s homeland.

They didn’t care much about Yuan’s whereabouts—but the Dao Brother’s homeland...

That they were still very curious about.

Sword Ancestor: “Then it’s decided.”

Charm Ancestor: “By the way, we’ve been chatting this long—why hasn’t that one person shown up today?/little yellow duck deep in thought”

Charm Ancestor: “/little yellow duck summoning array”

Charm Ancestor: “Where are you, @Sword Zun?”

A long pause.

Sword Zun: “Busy. Don’t bother me.”

Huh?

You, a brute who only knows how to swing a sword, are busy?

Sword Ancestor: “Jiu Yu departs tomorrow; today I went to ask my senior sister about difficulties in my cultivation.”

Charm Ancestor: “So what? We’re True Immortals.”

Charm Ancestor: “Xiao Yin Xue reports to me daily, yet I still haven’t missed anything in the group.”

Multitasking with the group chat is as easy as playing.

Yuan Jun: “Don’t assume everyone is like you.”

Charm Ancestor: “Heh.”

Charm Ancestor: “I won’t stoop to arguing with someone who knows nothing.”

Spirit Ancestor: “.”

Charm Ancestor: “Relax, relax.”

As this message was sent, in a certain city of the Taishang Dao Sect.

Lights blazed brilliantly.

Though it was deep night, the noise and bustle remained undiminished.

Along the sidewalk on one side of the road, two figures walked side by side, attracting no attention.

Suddenly, the graceful woman with a light veil over her eyes paused.

“What’s wrong?” asked Meng Xuan beside her.

Over these past few years, she had traveled across the Central Continent, her cultivation reaching the peak of Fan Xu, just one step away from He Dao.

This was still because she wished to witness more of this era’s cultivation methods; otherwise, she might have already achieved He Dao.

As a reborn Dong Zhen, her starting point surpassed anyone’s—she could now rightly be called the strongest Fan Xu in Taixuan Realm’s history.

Even future Fan Xu cultivators would almost certainly never reach her current height within the Fan Xu realm.

Yuan Jun paused: “Nothing.”

What is Charm Ancestor even talking about? How could I know nothing?!

Another month passed.

In the Taiyi Realm, beyond the hundred-and-eight layers of heaven, atop the entire world, lay the Taiyi Continent.

Outside the black tower, in the core region of the Kongji Holy Domain, one of the supreme powers.

The Kongji Holy Master remained in her full, power-exuding glory.

In her pale golden eyes, the pure white prismatic crystals slowly rotated, now tinged with faint blue, adding a touch of ethereality to her otherwise pure and holy aura.

With the aid of Ning Wanzhu and Ming Yu, she had reversed her disadvantage and now held the upper hand in the struggle for the Third Supreme Authority.

The faint blue hue and the added ethereal quality were the manifested fragments of the “Yuan Xu” authority she had seized.

“The beings within the tower have not yet revived; I cannot accompany you to the Taiyi Continent,” said the Kongji Holy Master calmly.

After the great battle, most of her faction’s “Ascended Saints” had fallen into silence.

She not only had to maintain the Holy Domain’s operations alone, but also continuously draw power from Kongji Realm to revive the lives lost in the battle.

In this period, with the help of Ming Yu and Ning Wanzhu, her burden had greatly lessened.

Progress naturally accelerated.

For instance, the beings revived within the tower no longer required external power to “maintain” or “repair”—they could slowly recover on their own.

“Dong Ming Holy Master must already harbor resentment toward you two.”

She extended her hand, and two peculiar prismatic crystals—pure white with faint blue tinges—appeared in her palm, floating gently toward Ning Wanzhu and Ming Yu.

“Proceed with caution; if true peril arises, activate these two Kongji True Crystals—she will teleport you back to the Kongji Holy Domain.”
