Chapter 507: Taiji Secret Chamber, Willpower Transcending

"They were born at the moment of the Hun Dun's inception, witnessing the universe differentiate from a single Qi into a multiverse. But as the cosmic order was established, such existences were gradually ostracized, eventually becoming nearly extinct. Helian Chen may be the last survivor."

"Then what is his true purpose?" Lin Xuan pressed.

Muerxiu's expression became exceptionally grave: "Helian Chen's true goal is to break the Lun Hui System and plunge the universe into a state of eternal Hun Dun. In that state, the laws of space and time will fail, and as a Wanderer, he can seize the power to manipulate space and time, becoming the new master of the universe!"

Lin Xuan gasped, recalling the urgent message Xiao Yuan had sent via the Fate Compass: "No wonder Xiao Yuan sensed a massive crisis. She sent word through the Fate Compass, saying that abnormal energy fluctuations had appeared in Hunyuan Valley, and someone was attempting to activate the Ancient Relic there."

Muerxiu stood up abruptly, his face deathly pale: "Not good! That is exactly part of Helian Chen's plan! According to my research, he needs to simultaneously activate the teleportation array at the Snowy Immortal Mountain and the relic in Hunyuan Valley to form a special kind of force field that will directly interfere with the Wangchuan Realm!"

Lin Xuan recalled the strange phenomena he had seen when leaving the Wangchuan Realm, his heart turning cold: "It has already begun! The water of the Wandering River has become turbid, and the entire Lun Hui System is being interfered with!"

Upon hearing this, Muerxiu's face grew even uglier: "Then we must head to Hunyuan Valley immediately! Helian Chen's plan has a key node that requires the force field to be constructed at a specific time. If we can stop him before then, perhaps the situation can still be salvaged!"

The two made a prompt decision, quickly packing the necessary Pills and Dharma Artifacts, preparing to depart at once. Lin Xuan took out several Taiji Talismans and reinforced the Cave Abode's Restrictions to prevent outsiders from intruding.

"Which route should we take?" Lin Xuan asked, "Hunyuan Valley is at least three days' journey from here."

Just as Muerxiu was about to answer, the Equilibrium Order on Lin Xuan's chest suddenly lit up with a faint glow and emitted a slight vibration, as if guiding them in a certain direction.

Lin Xuan's heart stirred, and he took out the Equilibrium Order to examine it closely. He saw the three-colored pattern on the Equilibrium Order slowly rotating, finally stopping in a fixed direction—that was exactly where Hunyuan Valley was located.

"The Equilibrium Order is guiding us!" Lin Xuan said with pleasant surprise, "The Balancer truly had arrangements made long ago."

Muerxiu looked at the Equilibrium Order on Lin Xuan's chest, a flash of astonishment crossing his eyes: "This is... the Order of Equilibrium? You actually obtained the recognition of the Balancer?"

Lin Xuan briefly explained his encounter in the Wangchuan Realm, as well as the Balancer's identity and the gift.

"Things are hard to predict," Muerxiu sighed, "The Third Party power that Taijizi struggled to find all those years ago has now appeared of its own accord to guide you. Perhaps this is the arrangement of fate."

The two delayed no longer, following the guidance of the Equilibrium Order, and quickly left the Taiji Cave Abode. Before stepping out, Lin Xuan hesitated for a moment, then took out a communication Talisman, briefly recording the ins and outs of the matter and their destination, and sent it to Xiao Yuan. Although he was unsure if it could be delivered in time, it at least left a glimmer of hope for their ally to know the situation.

Stepping out of the Taiji Cave Abode, Lin Xuan and Muerxiu immediately felt the uneasy atmosphere permeating the air. Strange clouds drifted in the sky, flocks of birds fled in panic in the opposite direction, and even the beasts in the mountains appeared restless, scattering in flight.

"The creatures of Nature have sensed the danger," Muerxiu said with a grave expression, "Helian Chen's plan has already begun to affect the real world."

Lin Xuan said nothing more, unfurling the Taiji Cloud Light and carrying Muerxiu as he flew rapidly in the direction guided by the Equilibrium Order. The Cloud Light transformed into a long rainbow beneath their feet, tearing through the sky and advancing at an unprecedented speed.

En route, Muerxiu further explained the details of Helian Chen's plan: "Helian Chen needs to exert force from three key points—the Snowy Immortal Mountain, Hunyuan Valley, and an unknown location—to form a special Triangle Array that will directly interfere with the operation of the Wangchuan Realm."

"A Triangle Array?" Lin Xuan pondered, "This is very similar to the balance formed by the three great powers mentioned by the Balancer."

Muerxiu nodded: "Correct. Helian Chen is simulating the layout of the universe at its inception, attempting to recreate the state of primordial Hun Dun. But he is not doing it for balance; he is doing it to break the balance and create chaos!"

Lin Xuan clenched his fists: "Regardless, we must stop him."

During the flight, Lin Xuan noticed a peculiar purple-black beam of light appearing in the distant sky, shooting straight into the clouds and connecting to a point on the horizon. The direction of that beam of light was exactly Hunyuan Valley.

"It has already begun!" Muerxiu exclaimed, "That is the sign of the Hunyuan Valley relic being activated! We must increase our speed!"

Lin Xuan held nothing back, pouring all his Taiji Three Origin Power into the Cloud Light while simultaneously activating the Equilibrium Order. Under the enhancement of the Equilibrium Force, the speed of the Taiji Cloud Light increased by more than double, like a bolt of lightning piercing the sky, heading straight for Hunyuan Valley.

Just as Lin Xuan and Muerxiu were preparing to leave the Taiji Cave Abode, the Equilibrium Order on Lin Xuan's chest suddenly vibrated violently, emitting an unprecedentedly bright light. Unlike the previous guidance pointing into the distance, this time the light from the Equilibrium Order actually formed a faint beam inside the Cave Abode, pointing toward an ordinary stone wall deep within the abode.

"What is going on?" Lin Xuan looked at Muerxiu in confusion.

Muerxiu was equally astonished: "The Equilibrium Order seems to have sensed something. Perhaps... there is still a secret here that we do not know about."

Lin Xuan followed the light to the stone wall and observed it carefully; there was nothing unusual to be seen on the surface. He tried touching it with his hand, feeling only cold, hard rock, with no traces of any mechanism or Array.

"Let me try." Lin Xuan closed his eyes, mobilized the Taiji Three Origin Power within his body, and slowly channeled it into the stone wall along his palm.

In an instant, a wondrous change occurred. The surface of the stone wall rippled slightly, as if it were the surface of water. As the Three-Origin Power permeated it, countless fine patterns gradually emerged on the stone wall, forming an extremely complex Taiji Pattern.

The moment the pattern formed, a tiny crack appeared in the center of the stone wall, which then parted to both sides, revealing a dim passageway.

"A hidden secret chamber!" Muerxiu exclaimed, "The Taiji Cave Abode actually has such a secret space; I have studied here for many years and never noticed it at all."

Lin Xuan glanced at the Equilibrium Order, seeing it still glowing as if encouraging him to continue forward. "Follow me," Lin Xuan said to Muerxiu, then stepped into the passageway.

The passageway was not long, reaching its end after about a dozen steps. The view before them suddenly opened up, and a circular secret chamber appeared before the two. The chamber was not large, about three zhang in diameter, with walls smooth as mirrors, and a glowing spirit stone embedded in the ceiling, emitting a soft light that illuminated the entire space.
