Chapter 442: Wormhole Passage
Three days later,
wormhole portals the size of fists suddenly appeared across the Earthly Profound Realm and began expanding rapidly.
Within these wormhole portals,
there were white channels brimming with spiritual energy fluctuations and black channels filled with demonic qi.
The white wormhole portals mostly hovered in conspicuous places such as the high skies and plains of the Earthly Profound Realm.
Meanwhile, the black wormhole portals mostly opened in hidden locations like deep mountain ranges, cliffs, and underwater.
As time passed, these wormhole portals grew larger and larger.
They finally attracted the attention of cultivators in the Earthly Profound Realm.
"Look quickly, what is that?"
Cultivators from various states in the Earthly Profound Realm were deeply puzzled and curious about the suddenly appearing wormhole portals.
However, among the wormhole portals discovered by cultivators of the Earthly Profound Realm, the vast majority were white wormhole portals.
Half a quarter-hour later.
Before the cultivators of the Earthly Profound Realm could react,
the wormhole portals manifesting across the Earthly Profound Realm had fully formed.
At the moment the wormhole portals concealed themselves,
the white wormhole portals remained fixed in place, extremely conspicuous.
But the black wormhole portals located in hidden spots vanished instantly upon formation, concealing themselves completely.
The next moment.
A message issued by the heavenly and earthly rules of the Earthly Profound Realm directly appeared in the minds of its cultivators.
The main content of the message was:
Cultivators of the Earthly Profound Realm can travel back and forth between the Earthly Profound Realm and the Green Demon Realm through the white wormhole portals.
However, the wormhole portals are suppressed by the natural forces of the Green Demon Realm and can currently only transmit cultivators at the Cave Void Realm and below.
From now on,
any cultivator who goes to the Green Demon Realm to hunt the Green Demon Clan or destroy the environment of the Green Demon Realm will receive corresponding rewards.
Hunting the Green Demon Clan and bringing back their corpses for sacrifice can grant primordial feedback to enhance cultivation base; this aspect has not changed much.
The only difference is that as long as the corpses of the Green Demon Clan are brought back to the Earthly Profound Realm,
there is no longer a need for a sacrifice formation.
One can directly sacrifice the corpses of the Green Demon Clan anywhere, anytime within the Earthly Profound Realm to gain primordial feedback and enhance cultivation base.
As for cultivators who destroy the environment of the Green Demon Realm and annihilate the demonic veins of the Green Demon Realm,
as long as they bring back the source of the demonic veins for sacrifice,
they will receive comprehension of the heavenly and earthly laws of the Earthly Profound Realm and a boost in悟性,entering a deep state of Dao comprehension.
As long as the sacrificed sources of the demonic veins are numerous enough and of high enough rank,
the realm bottlenecks of mid and low-rank cultivators in the Earthly Profound Realm, and the comprehension of profound rules by high-rank cultivators,
can be rapidly improved and breakthroughs achieved within a short time.
In addition, there are currently wormhole portals opened by the heavenly and earthly rules of the Green Demon Realm within the Earthly Profound Realm.
However, the heavenly and earthly rules of the Earthly Profound Realm are currently clashing with those of the Green Demon Realm and cannot spare attention to locate these wormhole portals.
If cultivators of the Earthly Profound Realm can find and destroy these wormhole portals,
they will receive heavenly and earthly feedback equivalent to sacrificing three seventh-rank sources of demonic veins.
After the cultivators of the Earthly Profound Realm received the information floating in their minds,
they were immediately struck with shock.
Due to the announcement by the Earthly Profound Realm Alliance, cultivators in the Earthly Profound Realm basically already knew about the invasion of the Green Demon Realm.
They even knew that a human border fortress had been built in the Southern Barbarian Domain to resist the invasion of the Green Demon Realm.
Many mid and low-rank cultivators originally thought the great war between the human race and the Green Demon Clan had nothing to do with them for the time being.
They never expected that shortly after the invasion of the Green Demon Realm, such a sudden change would occur.
After coming to their senses, cultivators across the Earthly Profound Realm began to discuss the matter:
"Go directly to the Green Demon Realm? The Green Demon Realm is no weaker than our Earthly Profound Realm; isn't it too dangerous for us to go there?"
"What's there to fear? Haven't we killed Green Demons before? But going directly to the Green Demon Realm is indeed a bit dangerous; let's see what happens first!"
"It's over. The Green Demon Realm has also opened wormhole portals in our Earthly Profound Realm; will powerful members of the Green Demon Clan attack us?"
"No, I must return to my family and make them raise their guard."
"Damn it! I originally thought there was no chance to hunt the young ones of the Green Demon Clan to enhance my cultivation base, but now there's a silver lining! Hahaha!"
In an instant, undercurrents began to stir among the cultivators of the Earthly Profound Realm.
Facing the suddenly appearing wormhole portals, the reactions of the numerous cultivators varied.
In the cultivation world of the Earthly Profound Realm, mid and low-rank cultivators ultimately make up the vast majority.
For these cultivators, their attitude towards the suddenly appearing wormhole spaces was mostly cautious or fearful.
But the cultivation world never lacks cultivators willing to take risks.
After learning the detailed information about the wormhole spaces, a small number of mid-rank cultivators had already arrived outside the wormhole portals.
They prepared to pass through the white wormhole portals to go to the Green Demon Realm, hunt the Green Demon Clan, and seize the sources of demonic veins.
For them, to enhance their own cultivation base, life and death could be disregarded.
Moreover, this was not a situation of certain death.
Xingzhou in the Eastern Domain.
On a plain not far from the provincial capital of Xingzhou, a wormhole passage the size of a city gate stood fixed above the ground.
By now, quite a few cultivators had gathered outside this wormhole passage.
Before the wormhole, a bald man rubbed his head, gritted his teeth, and said fiercely:
"Damn it! Without risking life and death, one cannot attain the Dao. I'll give it my all!"
Having spoken, he stepped forward into the wormhole passage before him and vanished.
Seeing that the bald man had truly entered the wormhole passage, the cultivators watching from all sides immediately let out exclamations of shock:
"Holy crap, did Bald Qiang really go in? That's some serious guts!"
"Brother Qiang is at the mid-stage of the Soul Transformation realm. If he's cautious, he shouldn't run into trouble in the Green Demon Realm, right?"
"Bald Qiang is a true man; I am not his equal!"
Some cultivators hesitated for a moment before speaking up with a suggestion:
"How about we try too? If it doesn't work, we can always retreat."
Upon hearing this, many cultivators showed signs of being swayed.
After all, compared to being the first to enter, with someone already leading the way, everyone's concerns had lessened considerably.
After weighing the matter for a moment, several more people gradually stepped into the wormhole passage.
These individuals were, without exception, Soul Transformation cultivators.
As for Void Refinement cultivators?
Void Refinement cultivators often enter deep, long-term seclusion and are rarely seen wandering outside.
Moreover, facing the invasion of the Green Demon Realm, the Di Xuan Realm Alliance had抽调 numerous Void Refinement cultivators from major powers to the human border.
Therefore, outside this wormhole passage in Xingzhou, no Void Refinement cultivators were present.
At the same time,
the major powers of the Di Xuan Realm had already reacted.
Their first move was not to organize forces to storm into the Green Demon Realm through the wormhole space.
Instead, they began dispatching large numbers of disciples to descend the mountain and patrol their sect territories.
Within their sect territories, they searched for wormhole spaces opened by the Green Demon Realm within the Di Xuan Realm, as well as any possible appearances of Green Demon clan members.
For the major powers, given the current situation of internal troubles and external threats,
maintaining stability within their own territories and eliminating any invading Green Demon clan members was the top priority.
After all, there were the human borders and numerous Mahayana cultivators.
The top experts of the Green Demon Realm simply could not break into the interior of the Di Xuan Realm.
Now, for some medium and small powers, they did not need to worry about the war at the human borders.
Originally, they thought that even facing the Green Demon Realm's invasion, their own sects could rest easy for a long time.
Who would have thought...
Deep within a great crack in the earth in the Green Demon Realm,
the figure of Bald Qiang slowly emerged.
The moment he appeared, Bald Qiang instantly became alert, quickly suppressed his aura, and concealed his form.
Risking it all was one thing, dying was another.
But he was not so foolish as to come here to throw his life away.
If he could, he naturally did not wish to perish and have his Dao extinguished so easily.
Therefore, after entering the Green Demon Realm, Bald Qiang did not act rashly but remained in a state of extreme vigilance.
Only after sensing the surrounding environment did Bald Qiang breathe a slight sigh of relief:
"Good thing the wormhole exit on this side of the Green Demon Realm is fairly hidden."
According to Bald Qiang's perception,
he had not appeared directly near the wormhole passage's exit.
Instead, the wormhole passage had randomly transported him to a location about a hundred li away from the exit.
According to Bald Qiang's perception,
the wormhole passage exit leading back to the Di Xuan Realm was located about a hundred li further down from the crack beneath him.
Moreover, the wormhole passage exit on this side of the Green Demon Realm was currently in a hidden state.
Only cultivators from the Di Xuan Realm could sense it.
For Green Demon cultivators, finding this end of the wormhole passage exit was not an easy task.
After initially understanding the current situation,
Bald Qiang took a deep breath, held it, and dispersed the demonic energy swirling around him.
He then began flying toward the outside of the crack.
In the Southern Barbarian Domain, on the battlefield outside the human borders,
the message emitted by the heavenly and earthly rules of the Di Xuan Realm was also received by the human cultivators on the battlefield.
Upon receiving this message, the human cultivators on the battlefield all changed their expressions one after another.
After exchanging thoughts via spiritual sense in secret,
the human cultivators withdrew together and began returning to the human borders.
Meanwhile, the Green Demon cultivators on the battlefield also changed their expressions.
Without engaging the human cultivators further, they默契ly left the border between the two realms, preparing to withdraw into the Green Demon borders within the Green Demon Realm.
Clearly, the situation on the Green Demon Realm side should be much the same as on the Di Xuan Realm side.
And so it was.
Because of the information emitted by the laws of the two realms and the existence of the wormhole channel.
The battlefield of the Void Penetration and Empty Void realms outside the human race's border passed in just a few months before ending hastily.
Beyond the void, the void churned, space twisted, and dazzling auroras and violent energy impacts erupted from time to time.
They did not pause at all due to the changes within the world.
Inside the Qingxuan Cave Heaven.
Ye Qingxuan had also received the information emitted by the laws of the Di Xuan Realm.
However, after receiving the information actively sent by the laws of the Di Xuan Realm, Ye Qingxuan wore a look of shock.
Only after a long while did he slowly say:
"It seems that in the mutual devouring with the laws of the Qing Demon Realm, the laws of the Di Xuan Realm have also gained considerable benefits."
"Now, the laws of the Di Xuan Realm are probably undergoing a transformation toward the embryonic form of the Heavenly Dao, are they not?"
"Then, the laws of the Qing Demon Realm, which are on par with those of the Di Xuan Realm, are probably the same now?"
Whether the Di Xuan Realm or the Qing Demon Realm, both were previously at the peak level of Middle Thousand Worlds.
The laws of the two realms could only operate instinctively, unable to communicate with any living beings within the world.
But now, the laws of the Di Xuan Realm can issue information to the living beings within the world.
Although it is still only one-way information issuance, unable to engage in further communication.
Yet this is something the laws of ordinary Middle Thousand Worlds cannot achieve.
As far as Ye Qingxuan knew.
Only the embryonic form of the Heavenly Dao or the complete Heavenly Dao of a higher level could communicate with living beings within a world.
This communication did not mean the Heavenly Dao had developed consciousness.
The Heavenly Dao is likewise a collective body of all rule forces within a world.
Among them, the embryonic form of the Heavenly Dao is equivalent to the laws of the world within a Great Thousand World.
And the complete Heavenly Dao is a collective body of world laws positioned above the status of a Great Thousand World.
Unlike ordinary laws of the world.
The laws of the world can only operate strictly according to previously set world rules, unable to adapt.
But the embryonic form of the Heavenly Dao, and the true Heavenly Dao, while also operating according to the laws of the world.
Can automatically repair loopholes within the rules.
For rules beneficial to the world's development, the Heavenly Dao will automatically perfect them and incorporate them into the laws of the world.
Any action helpful to the world's development and advancement will be spontaneously assisted and promoted by the Heavenly Dao.
Including, but not limited to, communicating with living beings within the world, leveraging the power of world beings to aid the world's development and advancement.
Such actions can all be viewed as rule-based behaviors.
It is just that, under normal circumstances, living beings within a world are too small in scale for a single world.
Therefore, under normal circumstances.
The embryonic form of the Heavenly Dao, or the Heavenly Dao, rarely initiates communication with living beings within the world.
At most, it will only provide some subtle guidance and hints when living beings do things beneficial to the world's development.
And once living beings within the world perform major events beneficial to the world's development.
The Heavenly Dao will also grant certain rewards to the world's living beings, though the form of this reward varies by world.
Ye Qingxuan guessed.
In the mutual devouring of the laws of the two worlds.
The laws of the Di Xuan Realm and the Qing Demon Realm, by analyzing each other's rules, were completing and perfecting their own rule forces.
They had already begun to slowly transform toward the embryonic form of the Heavenly Dao.
Now, it depends on which world's laws transform into the embryonic form of the Heavenly Dao first.
Then drive the advancement of the entire world, becoming a Great Thousand World.
Whoever advances first will obtain the final victory, ultimately devouring the other to achieve themselves.
And the current actions of the laws of the two realms.
Are nothing more than an attempt to leverage the power of living beings within their own world to cause destruction in the other's world, delaying or even interrupting the other's transformation progress.
With these suspicions in mind.
Ye Qingxuan took a step and left the Qingxuan Cave Heaven, arriving at the stone pavilion outside.
Standing at the edge of the stone pavilion with his hands clasped behind his back, Ye Qingxuan gazed at the world outside and sighed softly:
"Alas, what a troubled time!"
This incident was completely beyond his expectations.
He had originally thought that with the human race's border in place, the great war between the human race and the Qing Demon race would not affect the interior of the Di Xuan Realm in the short term.
He did not expect that the appearance of the wormhole channel would directly shatter this situation.
"I hope the Ye family can successfully survive this calamity!"
Now, Zhao Heng and Zhao Yu have already rushed to the Ye family.
The World Map they carry is his innate magic treasure, now at the Three-Star Lower Grade Spirit Treasure level.
Contained within the World Map is a strand of his Primordial Spirit that he left behind.
After the World Map fully revives, leveraging the power of the World Map.
This strand of his Primordial Spirit will be sufficient to rival a cultivator at the peak of the Void Penetration realm in a short time.
As long as Zhao Heng and Zhao Yu can arrive at the Ye family in time.
Relying on the World Map, it will be enough to ensure the safety of the Ye family amidst the coming turmoil.
