CHAPTER 1145: CHAPTER 335: TIANYUAN FALLS INTO THE GREAT WILDERNESS (5/5)

"What is happening?"

Even An Jing was a bit surprised at this moment; he didn’t understand why the Tianyuan Realm would suddenly start moving.

[This situation...] Even the elders of the Bright Mirror Sect were somewhat puzzled. Having never left the Embracing the Void, they naturally did not know about the movements within the Great Void.

Only the Haotian Mirror was shocked in his heart: [Could it be...]

[Is it the celestial migration?!]

Movement within the Great Void is unlike the material world. Essentially, there are no distances in the Great Void. Transmission relies on ’karmic links’.

The more tangled the karmic links between two worlds, the more their interaction resembles the material world. For example, between the North Heaven Cave Heaven and the Tianyuan Realm, their intertwining is almost like a real material world, even introducing the concept of ’distance’. This implies that without interference, they would quickly merge into one realm.

However, without karma, these two worlds would never interact.

Unless a cultivator from one world leaves their homeland and reaches another world.

Or if cultivators from both worlds leave their respective homelands, meet in a third-party world, and exchange information about their homelands.

In this way, the invisible karma will transform into a bridge and [path], connecting the two realms, allowing for the establishment of a cross-realm Great Void gate based on karma.

If trade between the two realms becomes increasingly prosperous, with the interaction of karma, they may grow conceptually closer until ultimately, the Great Void transmission becomes extremely convenient.

Of course, this is theoretical. In reality, in human commercial activities, even if an entire world is sold to another, as long as it does not involve the Heaven and Earth Core, the two realms will always maintain a certain distance. Like two identical magnetic poles that are hard to overlap, though they can quickly approach with external force, the closer they get, the stronger the repulsive force becomes. Even with intense external pressure, a small mistake would cause the two magnets to intersect.

Worlds governed by the Dao Courtyard can easily communicate because of their naturally similar laws and Daoist rules, making it easier to connect compared to unfamiliar worlds.

But this also brings about a phenomenon:

[When a world governed by the Dao Courtyard experiences massive destruction, to the point that it can no longer sustain life, it will move towards other worlds governed by the Dao Courtyard!]

The tone of the Haotian Mirror’s voice became solemn: [Originally, this was a benevolent policy devised to counter natural disasters and wars, ensuring survival for more people. A damaged world thus becomes part of another, strengthening its ally.]

[However, the Heavenly Demons exploited this. They used world destruction, turning damaged worlds into their nests to invade other Dao Courtyard worlds. Thus, many worlds that have undergone demonic calamities have shut down this feature, refusing to either exit or accept.]

[Yet now...]

Hearing this, An Jing understood; evidently, the Tianyuan Realm currently fits this criterion.

Severely damaged, and without shutting down the ’celestial migration’ feature, it began moving toward another Dao Courtyard world, preparing to ’migrate’ after being greatly damaged!

"Could it be that it’s Embracing the Void?"

An Jing spoke solemnly, and the Haotian Mirror also seriously denied it: [It is not. Cheng Guang has just maneuvered the Beitian Shipyard Cave Heaven towards Embracing the Void—our destination is Embracing the Void, but the Tianyuan Realm is heading in another direction!]

[But the question remains, what kind of world hasn’t shut down the celestial migration feature?]

It’s straightforward.

Either it’s entirely new, untouched by demonic calamity.

Or, like the Tianyuan Realm, it was crippled by demonic calamities for years without regaining control of the Dao Courtyard central.

For the former, the Tianyuan Realm is now a pollution source; merging in the past was harmful.

For the latter, the Tianyuan Realm just managed to defeat the Holy Demon, so it’s in recovery and cannot endure another demonic calamity.

This is the dilemma for the Tianyuan Realm, stuck in between, not going anywhere well.

"Which direction is the Tianyuan Realm migrating to?"

An Jing asked with furrowed brows, speaking softly: "If it’s a small realm, it might be okay. With the current power of the Sects, encountering a small realm isn’t a big deal, and it might even be beneficial."

[Let me take a look.]

If it were any other Heavenly Venerate, they would struggle to perceive through the endless Great Void and discern the threads of karma, especially considering the tangled karma of Tianyuan Realm in Tianyuan, which ordinary Heavenly Venerates cannot see.

However, the Haotian Mirror excels in this.

At this moment, with the divine mirror at the center of the Candle Dragon Battle Armor’s chest emitting brilliance, a dazzling light illuminated the myriad worlds of the Great Void, piercing through layers of darkness, chasing the direction where the Tianyuan Realm is now ’speeding’ away.

Even the Haotian Mirror was stunned at the sight, unable to speak for a long time.

"What is it, Grandmaster?" [Grandmaster, which realm is it?]

Not only did An Jing sense something was off, but even the Xiyi Heavenly Monarch noticed the prolonged silence of the Haotian Mirror. The Haotian Mirror, snapping back to reality upon hearing this, was unsure whether to feel astonished or amazed, saying: [It is not a small realm, but an extremely vast, an immensely grand great realm... and this great realm is very familiar to both of us!]

"You mean?"

An Jing suddenly had an epiphany: "Is it the [Great Desolate Celestial Sea Realm]?!"

[Precisely, it is the Great Desolate Celestial Sea!]

The Haotian Mirror said in a deep voice, "Now I understand why the Great Desolation Realm ’devours’ so many other small realms, turning them into part of itself... The reason is simple: its celestial migration function was never turned off!"

"And among all the heavens and worlds, how many world fragments were shattered by the Demon Calamity? Countless. Each world being drawn and devoured by it, whether Spiritual Fiend or Demonic Qi, all are absorbed into its body... If it can digest and purify them, it’s fine, but if not, then the Demon Leaders hidden within the Great Desolation Realm are truly terrifying!"

"Things are getting interesting..."

An Jing took a deep breath.

Causality, causality... Perhaps, the reason my master Mingguang Dust accidentally crossed into the Great Desolation Realm was that it wasn’t an accident at all but ’causality’ arranged by the Huai Xu Heavenly Dao!

If we follow the original plan of Huai Xu and the Heavenly Origin Heavenly Dao, the Tianyuan Realm was meant to be shattered completely, with even the largest fragments not remaining, erased entirely, and only the Cave Heaven cast into Huai Xu.

The Great Desolation Realm eats the fragments of Tianyuan, while Huai Xu consumes Tianyuan’s essence and Cave Heaven.

However, my actions exceeded the expectations of both the Huai Xu Heavenly Dao and the Heavenly Origin Heavenly Dao, resulting in half of a complete Tianyuan Realm falling towards the Great Desolation Realm.

The causality that will spin from this... is likely to be astonishingly enormous!

"The size of the Tianyuan Realm is unmatched by any world previously swallowed by the Great Desolation Realm..."

An Jing gazed toward the direction illuminated by the Haotian Mirror in the void, muttering to himself, "The fall of Tianyuan into the Great Desolation is bound to be a world-shattering mutation, beyond the expectations of the Huai Xu Heavenly Dao, the Heavenly Origin Heavenly Dao, the Great Wilderness Heavenly Dao, or any Heavenly Demon."

"But we have the advantage."

An Jing’s master, one of the Nine Peak Masters of the Bright Mirror Sect, Manifest Saint True Monarch Mingguang Dust, resides there.

Unless unexpected, Mingguang Dust has already established a Small World within the Great Desolation Realm... The Bright Mirror Sect, or rather, An Jing himself, will seize the advantage.

With the Haotian Mirror and the Cave Heaven Spirit, two Heavenly Venerate-level powers, and the Daoist Soldier foundation of the Bright Mirror Sect, they undeniably have the capability to influence the world!

They might seize this opportunity... and take advantage of the earth-shattering changes of the Great Desolation Realm to achieve some great deeds of changing heaven and earth!

The changes in the Tianyuan Realm are far from over...

The true upheaval of the Tianyuan Realm has just begun!

"Let’s go, Ancestors."

Having determined the direction of the Tianyuan Realm’s fall, An Jing exhaled and made a decision, "This time with our journey to the Tianyuan Realm, we’ve already reaped enough rewards, with the entire Beitian Shipyard Cave Heaven now in our hands, and the Grandmaster and Cheng Guang Ancient Ancestor having extended longevity and future paths."

"Not to mention..."

An Jing turned his head toward the Divine Weapon Realm.

Representing the most powerful puppetry of the Dao Court Era, the Thousand Mechanism Strange Mechanism Demon Spirit "Qian Feng"... and even the Heaven-Burning Divine Weapon—the ’Cave Void Break Flood Light Cannon’ that could shatter even a Heavenly Venerate.

He smiled, "The foundation of my Bright Mirror Sect is now truly an Upper Gate."

"The future affairs shall be left for the future; now it’s time to properly summarize our gains."

"You are the Sect Master, An Jing, make your decision."

No one had any dissatisfaction with An Jing’s decisions — if not for An Jing, the Bright Mirror Sect would’ve been unable to undergo Nirvana Rebirth, much less have rapidly attained such Upper Gate and even Heavenly Ancestor-level foundations as it does now!

The upheaval in the Tianyuan Realm has been temporarily put aside.

Just as the Bright Mirror Sect maneuvered Cave Heaven, returning with the Jianmu Divine Ship and the Heaven-Burning Divine Weapon,

Time in the Huai Xu Realm continued to push forward steadily.

The True Lord Ye Po, who stayed behind at the sect, was originally calmly cultivating Evergreen Wood with Gu Yeqi, but suddenly, she saw a golden streamer flash across the sky, crossing the vast Heavenly Dome, straight to the mountain gate of Bright Mirror Sect.

"What is the meaning of this...?"

The True Lord Ye Po slightly furrowed her brow, her figure flashed, and she arrived before the mountain gate, taking down the resplendent document.

"Northern Star Dynasty imperial decree, Mysterious Heaven Imperial Lord’s edict says:"

"I, in inheriting the favor of the Huai Xu Heaven, hold the weight of the state, tirelessly day and night, solely wishing for peace across the four seas, and now the Shangxuan rebellious teachings act recklessly, defying the Dao; plotting sinister at the Origin Judgment Land, this crisis concerns the remnants of the Dao Courtyard, shaking the foundations of the North Mysterious Sacrifice Continent, it must be pacified"

"An Jing of the Northern Domain, Lord of the Inheriting Heaven, holder of the Acting Sect Master position of the Bright Mirror Sect in charge of Dust Li Upper Gate, also is my Dynasty’s Master of Heavenly Sword Mountain, hereby invited by the imperial decree, to come to Shenjing’s Mysterious Heavenly Palace, I shall host a feast, inviting the masters of Eight-direction Mountain to discuss the grand strategy of the North Mysterious."

"Year Four of the Peaceful Reign of Great Chen"

"Honoring the Mysterious Dome, eternal flourishing of the Great Dao"

"An edict of the Emperor?!"

This document shone like the Great Sun, illuminating the mountain gate of the Bright Mirror Sect for all to see; it required no one, no entourage to project its majesty, for this was the most solemn decree from the Heavenly Ancestor of the North Mysterious Sacrifice Continent and the Emperor of the Great Chen Dynasty!

And the purpose of this decree...

"To actually invite An Jing to Shenjing?!"
