Chapter 435: Manifestation of Rules, Clash Between Two Worlds

He raised one foot, just about to step forward.

Ye Qingxuan suddenly paused, as if sensing something.

He glanced up at the Great Dao laws manifesting in the high sky, pondered for a moment, then...

Ye Qingxuan withdrew his stepping foot, soared directly into the air, and flew toward the distant border pass.

During his flight, Ye Qingxuan's brows furrowed slightly.

He had originally intended to vanish into the void and travel through it to reach the border pass.

But Ye Qingxuan had just suddenly realized...

With his current power, he could no longer break the space of the Di Xuan Realm to enter the void and roam.

Moreover, even his current flight speed had slowed by roughly a hundredfold.

The cause of all these changes stemmed from the numerous Great Dao laws manifesting in the high sky of the Di Xuan Realm.

These manifested Great Dao laws directly suppressed the heavens and earth of the Di Xuan Realm, making the entire world more stable.

This resulted in the fact that, during this period...

With his current cultivation at the Void Piercing realm, he could no longer break the space of the Di Xuan Realm to perform void traversal.

Flying at a speed slowed a hundredfold, Ye Qingxuan sensed the intensity of the spatial constraints around him and guessed silently in his heart:

"It is likely not just the Void Piercing realm; perhaps even the Empty Meditation realm and even the Tribulation Crossing realm experts cannot break the space and enter the void right now."

He shook his head and stopped thinking about these things.

Ye Qingxuan gathered his spirit and flew rapidly toward the border pass.

The border pass lay at the boundary of the Southern Manzhou; although Ye Qingxuan's flight speed had slowed a hundredfold...

because the distance was not far, he did not spend much time before arriving at the border pass.

At this moment, many figures were already standing upon this section of the border pass at the boundary of Southern Manzhou.

These cultivators were mostly at the Void Piercing realm or above.

Some of them had been dispatched shortly after the border pass was constructed.

Following deliberations by the Di Xuan Realm Alliance, they were drawn from major mid- and high-level powers across the Di Xuan Realm.

Others had come of their own volition.

As the border pass of the Di Xuan Realm defending against the Green Demon Realm...

the Di Xuan Realm Alliance had issued an announcement long ago.

Any cultivator at the Soul Transformation realm or above could freely ascend the border pass to resist the invasion of the Green Demon Clan.

As for whether mandatory conscription would follow, that depended on how the situation developed later.

However, given the current upheaval in the Di Xuan Realm, it would not be easy for high-level rogue cultivators from other great regions to come here.

No one knew how long this situation would last.

Thinking of this, Ye Qingxuan instinctively looked up again at the Great Dao laws manifesting in the high sky.

If possible, he naturally hoped the manifestation of the Di Xuan Realm's heavenly rules would persist a bit longer.

Because the manifestation of heavenly rules was also a significant opportunity for cultivators.

Ye Qingxuan's arrival...

drew the attention of three Void Piercing realm cultivators.

These three cultivators were elders previously dispatched by the three dominant powers of the Southern Region of the Di Xuan Realm to station themselves in the Southern Man Domain.

Their cultivation grounds were located within Southern Manzhou.

Regarding Ye Qingxuan, the Void Piercing realm cultivator who had suddenly appeared in Southern Manzhou over a decade ago and built a city there...

these three experts naturally paid some attention to him.

However, given the current situation, the three had no intention of communicating with Ye Qingxuan.

After glancing at Ye Qingxuan, they withdrew their gaze.

Besides this, Ye Qingxuan's arrival did not attract the attention of other cultivators on the border pass.

Because the other cultivators on the border pass were currently staring fixedly at the southern boundary of the Southern Man Domain.

They had no mind to attend to the newly arrived Ye Qingxuan.

However, Ye Qingxuan was quite content with this.

After stepping onto the border pass, he likewise did not pay attention to others.

Instead, he circulated his spiritual power into his eyes and looked out at the world beyond the border pass.

He saw that at the extremely distant southern boundary of the Southern Man Domain, various dazzling auroras were erupting.

Various elemental energies churned and raged, surging up layer after layer of energy tides that swept across the boundary world of the Southern Man Domain's southern region.

If not for the current manifestation of the Great Dao laws, which had caused the stability of the heavens and earth to rise sharply...

the southern region of the Southern Man Domain would likely have already begun to crumble, and the surging energy tides would have long since struck the border pass.

Those deafening roars, which still echoed without ceasing, were erupting from the boundary of the Southern Man Domain's southern region.

In that world...

Ye Qingxuan could sense the clash, entanglement, and even mutual devouring of numerous Great Dao laws and profound principles.

The rule fluctuations caused in the southern boundary region of the Southern Man Domain were so intense that even the heavenly rules of the Di Xuan Realm could no longer conceal them.

Otherwise, with his current cultivation, Ye Qingxuan would not have been able to perceive such changes.

It was evident that the manifestation of numerous Great Dao laws and profound principles in the Di Xuan Realm...

besides suppressing the heavens and earth to avoid excessive destruction, served other purposes as well.

Although no one stated it explicitly at this moment...

Ye Qingxuan had already guessed the reason behind it.

As time passed.

The various auroras, strange phenomena, and bursts of violent thunder erupting from the southern border region of the Di Xuan Realm.

Not only did they not subside, but they showed a trend of growing ever more intense.

"Dragging their feet, when will the Green Demon Clan finally arrive?"

"Exactly. If it weren't for guarding against the Green Demon Clan's invasion, I would have already begun secluding myself to cultivate."

Just as some cultivators were growing impatient.

An old man wearing a Daoist robe suddenly appeared above this border pass:

"Temporarily lift the alert. Everyone, seize this rare opportunity to enhance your cultivation base!"

Having spoken, the old man in the Daoist robe did not depart.

Instead, he sat cross-legged in mid-air above this border pass, beginning to comprehend the Great Dao laws manifesting before them.

Not only here, but in other areas of the border pass, human Mahayana realm cultivators also appeared.

Among them was the figure of Ye Qingxuan's nominal master, Cen Zhe.

After announcing the lifting of the alert.

These human Mahayana realm cultivators each fell into a state of Dao comprehension, beginning to study the Great Dao laws manifesting within the Di Xuan Realm's heaven and earth.

As for the other human cultivators on the border pass.

Upon hearing the alert temporarily lifted, many human experts relaxed.

They began to eagerly comprehend the Dao right there on the border pass.

Each immersed themselves in the realization of the profound principles and rules manifested by heaven and earth.

The manifestation of heavenly and earthly rules is a great opportunity for both Void Piercing realm cultivators and Mahayana realm cultivators.

Mahayana realm cultivators wishing to break through to the Immortal Realm must comprehend their own Great Dao laws.

Meanwhile, cultivators from the Void Piercing realm to the Tribulation Crossing realm need to comprehend the profound principles and rules to increase their cultivation base.

At this moment, with both the Great Dao laws and the profound principles manifesting in the Di Xuan Realm, the difficulty of comprehending them will drop sharply.

If not for the threat of the Green Demon Realm's invasion, they would have already begun secluding themselves to cultivate and comprehend the rules manifesting between heaven and earth.

Now that the alert on the border pass is temporarily lifted, it indicates the Green Demon Clan cannot cross over for the time being.

Naturally, they can safely comprehend the rules between heaven and earth.

During normal times.

The many Great Dao laws and profound principles within the world are integrated into heaven and earth.

Serving as the framework that supports the entire world's structure.

To make these Great Dao laws and profound principles manifest, the world must expend a significant amount of its primordial foundation.

Once these rule powers manifest, it is equivalent to extracting part of the world's framework.

Moreover, for rule powers to manifest within the world, the world must bear the force unleashed by these rules, further increasing the burden on the world.

Now, after the heavenly and earthly rules manifest in the Di Xuan Realm, while it appears more stable, is it not also becoming heavier and more bloated?

Therefore, unless it is a necessary moment.

The rule powers within the world, whether Great Dao laws or profound principles, will not manifest easily.

The Great Dao laws and profound principles currently manifesting within the Di Xuan Realm cannot continue indefinitely.

If time drags on, the Di Xuan Realm will be unable to bear the consumption, thereby breaking the world's balance and affecting its originally stable order.

Thus, this opportunity of manifesting heavenly and earthly rules has a time limit.

Now that the Green Demon Clan cannot cross over for the time being.

They naturally must seize this opportunity, which they do not know how long it will last, without delay.

Seeing the other cultivators had already fallen into a state of Dao comprehension.

Ye Qingxuan glanced at the various auroras and strange phenomena erupting from the southern border of the Southern Barbarian Domain, hearing the bursts of thunder.

After pondering for a moment, this avatar of his did not leave the border pass.

However, his main consciousness directly returned to his original body in the next instant.

Long ago, when the heavenly and earthly rules manifested, his original body had already fallen into a state of Dao comprehension, beginning to study various profound principles.

It was only because his main consciousness had not returned to his original body that his original body's comprehension ability was limited, slowing the speed at which he comprehended the profound principles.

But even so, the speed at which he comprehended the profound principles far exceeded that of others.

Now that his main consciousness has returned.

The speed at which Ye Qingxuan's original body comprehends the profound principles has increased once again.

Within the stone pavilion outside the Qingxuan Blessed Land, he fell into a deep state of Dao comprehension.

At the same time.

On the southern world crystal wall of the Di Xuan Realm, in a place unseen by Ye Qingxuan and others.

A world crystal wall of slightly different color was colliding and merging with the Di Xuan Realm's world crystal wall.

As time trickled by.

The parts where the two world crystal walls touched began to gradually melt away, and the heavens and earth within the worlds inside the walls began to connect.

In the instant the two world crystal walls melted away.

The Great Dao laws and profound principles within both realms manifested.

"Boom!"

The heavenly and earthly rules of the two realms clashed, unleashing intense fluctuations of rule power.

Various colorful anomalous phenomena of rule power appeared, only to be destroyed by the aftermath of the clash between the heavenly and earthly rules.

The two different sets of heavenly and earthly rules both sought to devour the other immediately, invade the other's heaven and earth, and seize the authority within the other's world.

Unfortunately, with both sides evenly matched, neither gained any advantage, and they gradually fell into a stalemate.

After the world crystal walls of the two realms dissolved.

"Boom!" "Boom boom boom!"

The Sky Abysses of the two realms instantly exploded.

Various alien energies within the two Sky Abyss spaces raged uncontrollably.

Almost simultaneously, continuous energy explosions erupted.

Even with the manifestation of Great Dao laws suppressing them, most areas of the boundary between the two realms were destroyed by the relentless explosions.

However, amidst these energy explosions, the heavens and earth of both realms, under the repair of heavenly and earthly rules, instinctively absorbed this energy, rapidly evolving their own new heavens and earth.

Thus, catalyzed by the chaotic energies within the two Sky Abysses.

The region where the Di Xuan Realm and the Qing Mo Realm collided was reborn amidst destruction and merged amidst rebirth.

Slowly, the various energy explosions grew more intense, continuously destroying the heavens and earth of both realms in this unprecedented energy catastrophe.

Yet, new heavens and earth were constantly reborn through nirvana amidst these explosions.

Consequently, the heavens and earth where the Di Xuan Realm and the Qing Mo Realm touched and merged grew larger and larger.

But the collision between the two realms did not stop because of this.

After the heavens and earth merged, the spiritual energy within the Di Xuan Realm and the demonic energy within the Qing Mo Realm began to contact each other.

Under the collision of these two great layers of transcendent energy.

Within the new heavens and earth formed by the merger of the two realms, bursts of ear-splitting sounds erupted again, stirring up waves of energy that swept in all directions.

If viewed from a higher dimension.

One could see that the Di Xuan Realm and the Qing Mo Realm had entered the initial stage of fusion.

Together, they formed a giant gourd, and at the upper and lower junction of the gourd, various dazzling auroras were erupting.

From the clash of rule powers, the explosion of alien energies, to the confrontation of heavenly and earthly energies.

The upper and lower junction of the gourd formed by the two realms had become the battlefield for the initial engagement of the two great worlds.

At this stage, even if a Mahayana realm cultivator got involved, the outcome would be certain death.

Therefore, at this moment, neither cultivators from the Di Xuan Realm nor those from the Qing Mo Realm dared to rashly enter.

This was also the reason why the powerful ones of the Qing Mo Clan had not yet appeared to invade the Di Xuan Realm after the two realms made contact.

The boundary of the Qing Mo Realm.

A border fortress, surrounded by demonic energy and flowing with various Dao patterns, stood tall, cutting across the entire boundary of the Qing Mo Realm.

The border fortress cast by the Qing Mo Realm was in no way inferior to that of the Di Xuan Realm.

Clearly, during the descent of the Qing Mo Realm into the Di Xuan Realm, the Qing Mo Clan was not unprepared.

Although they were the invaders.

Facing the Di Xuan Realm, which was no weaker than them, they did not underestimate their enemy in the slightest.

Upon the Qing Mo border fortress.

One after another, the Great Venerables of the Qing Mo Clan, whose momentum was overwhelming, soared into the sky, gazing at the junction between the Qing Mo Realm and the Di Xuan Realm.

Behind the border fortress, countless Qing Mo Clan members above the Soul Transformation realm were fully prepared, their eyes revealing a bloodthirsty and cruel expression.

At this time, the Qing Mo Realm was also filled with strange phenomena, with loud sounds constantly ringing out, and heavenly and earthly rules manifesting throughout the world.

But the powerful ones of the Qing Mo Clan ignored these changes, their gazes fixed tightly on the region where the two realms met.

However, as time passed, the clash of rules in the junction region between the Qing Mo Realm and the Di Xuan Realm showed no sign of slowing down.

Seeing this, on the Qing Mo border fortress, a Mahayana realm Qing Mo Great Venerable approached the side of the Xie Yuan Di Zun at the very front and slowly asked:

"Di Zun, how long will the initial clash of rules between the two realms last?"

As he spoke, he subconsciously looked up at the Great Dao laws manifesting in the high sky.

If possible, he would rather comprehend these naked Great Dao laws and postpone the invasion of the Di Xuan Realm.

Hearing the question, the Xie Yuan Di Zun looked deeply at the heavens and earth at the junction of the two realms and said in a low voice:

"The struggle between the heavens and earth, even I cannot predict."

Turning to look at the many Mahayana realm Qing Mo Great Venerables behind him, the Xie Yuan Di Zun spoke again:

"Invading the Di Xuan Realm is not urgent for the moment. This manifestation of Great Dao rules is also a rare opportunity; everyone should comprehend them right here!"

"Yes, Di Zun!"

With the words of the Xie Yuan Di Zun.

The other Qing Mo Great Venerables, who had already been unable to hold back, relaxed.

They looked up to observe the manifesting Great Dao laws and slowly fell into the state of comprehending the Dao.

Even the Xie Yuan Di Zun himself began to perceive the changes in the Great Dao laws, entering a state of Dao comprehension.

Although he had already comprehended the prototype of his own Great Dao laws, and could break through to the Immortal Realm simply by releasing his suppression and allowing the Great Dao laws to take form.

Yet, condensing one's own Great Dao laws and breaking through to the Immortal Realm, where else could be a new beginning?

Although the Xie Yuan Di Zun did not wish to break through to the Immortal Realm at present, continuing to comprehend the Great Dao laws would equally enhance his foundation.

Therefore, he did not give up this opportunity of the Great Dao laws manifesting in the Qing Mo Realm.

Behind the border fortress.

Seeing that the Xie Yuan Di Zun and the many Qing Mo Great Venerables had fallen into Dao comprehension.

The other powerful ones of the Qing Mo Clan also began to perceive the heavens and earth right where they stood, slowly falling into the state of comprehending the Dao.

For cultivators below the Mahayana realm.

The Great Dao laws were still too far away from them, but comprehending the profound rules manifested by the heavens and earth was closely related to the improvement of their cultivation base.

Thus, after the initial contact between the Di Xuan Realm and the Qing Mo Clan.

To the surprise of cultivators from both realms.

The human cultivators and the Green Demon cultivators did not immediately erupt into a protracted great war.

Instead, they gained a great opportunity in advance, entering a brief period of peace.

Suddenly, as the heavenly and earthly laws of both sides manifested.

The human cultivators and the Green Demon cultivators.

The high-level cultivators on both sides fell into Dao-comprehending seclusion.

This was a pre-war revelry unique to the cultivators of both realms.

Perhaps this was one of the few times in the coming years they could cultivate in peaceful seclusion.

Perhaps a hundred years, perhaps several decades, or perhaps just a few short years.

No one knows how long this brief peace will last.
