Grandpa, times have changed.

Chapter 631 The Realm Protected by All Realms
As the surrounding light disappeared, Ning Wanzhu and Ming Yu stopped at the boundary of the [Second Xunyuan Realm].

The two cautiously observed the unfamiliar area that was only a hair's breadth away, and did not make any rash moves.

At first glance, all that could be seen beyond the boundary was a hazy expanse, indistinguishable from the two realms already encompassed by the Immortal Net.

However, if you look closely, you can sense that the area outside the boundary of the [Second Abyss Realm] is both chaotic and unfamiliar.

It's as if countless concepts were crudely mixed together, similar to the beginning of the world, a time before chaos and the distinction between yin and yang...

It's even more 'disorderly' than that!
"Without the protection of the Immortal Net, it would be extremely difficult for us to find the Abyss in this vast Chaos Sea," Ning Wanzhu said softly.

The path they took offered no assistance in traversing the Chaos Sea, and their own realm had not yet reached the level of 'perceiving the true nature'.

If they were on their own, it would probably take them at least a century to get here.

“It must have been very difficult for him to get here…” Mingyu sighed softly.

Although Yuan was a Dongzhen, the path he cultivated was also beneficial for him to travel in the Chaos Sea.

But ultimately, he was not a true immortal, and could not walk on flat ground like a true immortal patriarch.

These past years, I've not only had to endure the boundless loneliness of the vast, chaotic sea, but also grope my way forward...

Yuan's hometown...

A thousand thoughts raced through her mind, but they quickly subsided, and a resolute glint flashed in Mingyu's eyes.

"Let's go!"

"Ah."

Immediately, the two crossed the border and truly entered an unfamiliar realm!
Almost instantly!
An immense pressure surged in from all directions, and all senses seemed to become disordered at this moment.

Upside down, front and back out of order.

Before my eyes, everything around me, and even myself, seemed to be repeatedly compressed and stretched, with an endless surge of chaotic energy that seemed to contain all the colors of existence.

A mere line separates them, yet the difference is like heaven and earth!

Fortunately, this state did not last long, and the two of them adapted to the strange feeling after a little adjustment.

Although they haven't reached the True Realm, they are still at least Profound Realm Venerables. Even without the protection of the Immortal Net to activate the 'Perception Sublimation' state, they can adapt on their own.

At most, it just takes a little longer to get used to it.

'Is this an unfamiliar area...?'

The two of them, having adjusted, simultaneously had this thought in their minds.

If we take the area where the Fairy Network connection nodes were previously established as the standard, they are now as if they have arrived at the bottomless depths of an ocean.

Every movement was a thousand times more difficult than before!
According to Master/Elder Lingzu, the so-called 'unfamiliar area' refers to the place that the true immortals cannot see.

Everything is 'unknown' and 'disordered'. Every action requires one to feel and understand the various things one touches in order to minimize the impact of the unfamiliar areas of the Chaotic Sea on oneself.

Recalling what Ning Ruo had told her, Ming Yu calmed herself down and felt it for a while before finally trying to raise her hand.

Huhu~
Wisps of chaotic energy lingered between her fingers.

A small portion of them were drawn by the Dao energy surrounding her, and as she came to understand this area, they coalesced to form one incredibly weak world after another.

Weak and insignificant.

It was doomed almost the instant it was born.

A fragile world born from a single thought, and destined to crumble the moment that thought fades away...

A sudden realization dawned on Mingyu, and she then withdrew her Dao aura, lowered her hands, and looked ahead:

"Looks like we're going to be busy."

The area covered by this boundary is extremely vast, and their every move is no longer as easy as before.

There are 129,600 master nodes, and each master node requires 128 auxiliary nodes for support...

The workload is enormous.

"Indeed, it's no wonder that Master told us not to rush."

As she spoke, Ning Wanzhu suddenly pointed her fingers together like a sword, and a faint crimson light, like that of a burning fire, slowly appeared at her fingertips.

It was extremely faint, as if a gust of wind would extinguish it, but the moment it appeared, it caused the surrounding chaotic energy to surge.

It was as if it was being pressed down by an irresistible and terrifying force, spreading out in all directions.

However, she mobilized a trace of power from the core of the Tai Xuan Immortal Network through it.

"In any case, let's first determine the general boundaries of this territory."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ning Wanzhu raised her hand and pointed forward!
Buzz~!

A clear and melodious sword cry resounded throughout the vast chaotic sea, and a line of red light tore through the chaos, causing the surrounding chaos to tremble!
The two observed each other nervously.

a long time……

The sliver of red light reached the other side, vanished completely, and everything returned to calm.

Nothing unusual happened, and the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"No problem."

This move is mainly to investigate whether the Cang Clan exists within the designated boundary, or whether the world within the boundary has been affected by ancient or mysterious methods.

"If only I could use my immortal power forever..."

Mingyu stared longingly at the chaotic aura that had not yet closed in front of her.

“Indeed.” Ning Wanzhu smiled gently, “But having a few opportunities to mobilize immortal power is already quite good.”

The Immortal Network was built around the power of the Sword Ancestor.

But the burden on the shoulders of the Sword Ancestor was incredibly heavy.

They had to maintain the stability of the two existing realms, keep a close eye on the front lines of the interstellar battlefield, and also find a suitable world to guide the birth of 'Ascensions'...

They even had to pull them back to the Tai Xuan Realm in times of crisis.

It's already quite remarkable that they were able to spare even a small amount of their resources to help them build the nodes connecting to the Celestial Network.

"I was just saying..."

She understood what Ning Wanzhu was saying.

The patriarchs all had important matters to attend to, and the only one with some freedom was Patriarch Yuanjun.

But only relatively speaking, the Central Continent still cannot do without her...

Moreover, if one were to rely on the power of the Ancestor Yuanjun to protect oneself, it would be no different from courting death!

"let's start."

Mingyu stepped forward, but her movements were as if she were walking through mud, and every move was extremely sluggish.

She plans to first identify an area and build the first main node.

They hadn't even taken a few steps.

"Wait a moment!"

Ning Wanzhu's voice carried a hint of urgency and surprise.

Ok?
Mingyu looked back.

Look over there!

Looking in the direction Ning Wanzhu pointed, one could see the boundary outside the defined area!

In the hazy chaos, tiny, star-like blue lights lit up one after another, flickering uncertainly.

Like a galaxy falling into chaos, the stars in the sky twinkle in unison.

“That is…” Mingyu frowned.

"The world!" Ning Wanzhu said with absolute certainty.

Those were 'worlds' that did not conceal themselves, and even radiated their own light without any restraint in this vast chaotic sea!
And amidst the many worlds surrounding it, there is an exceptionally bright 'starlight'.

If the other 'starlight' was only vaguely glimpsed because a single red ray cleaved through the chaos, and only through the 'sensory sublimation' enhanced by the Immortal Network, then...

The 'light' that guards the very center is dazzling and radiant, like a bright pearl, incomparably radiant!
Big world!
It's at least a Great World at the Dao Integration level!
……

……

At night, the inner gate of Lingyinfang is as bright as day.

The divine tree reached for the sky, its branches and leaves, as white as crystal and jade, colliding and tinkling, refracting rays of seven-colored light that intertwined, creating a magnificent and dreamlike scene. Round, white fruits hung from the branches, emitting a soft, hazy glow.

At this moment, inside a large hall that has not been open to the public for long.

"What do you think, Brother Xu?"

Ning Ruo was dressed as usual, sitting behind a long table, leaning slightly forward.

Most of the towering structure in front of him was pressed against the table.

“A world that is uninhibited, not only does it not conceal itself, but also constantly proclaims its existence…” Xu Xing leaned back on the sofa. “It is indeed interesting.”

The decor here is similar to that inside the mountain laboratory.

It's all the same anyway, and I don't know why she chose this place to meet this time.

"Based on what we know so far, it is very likely that Yuan is in that world, or at the very least, he has stayed there."

He rushed over as soon as he learned of the situation.

After all, a great world above the Dao Integration realm was openly displaying its brilliance without any restraint...

This is indeed different from the world before!
Whether it's the Earth Immortal Realm that has already eliminated the 'Heavenly Will Immortal', the Yuanzhen Realm of the multiverse type, or even the Taiping Realm of the Tongxuan level, they all choose to hide themselves in the Chaos Sea.

Aside from those at the level of 'immortals' or 'ancestors' who transcend the world level and can be easily found, ordinary methods simply cannot deduce the location of these worlds.

Now, some parts of the world are doing the opposite.

"However, it is still not appropriate to make a big fuss about this."

After nodding slightly, Ning Ruo sat up a little straighter and turned her gaze toward Xu Xing.

A person was dressed in a plain moon-white robe, with a layer of dark blue bamboo-patterned gauze draped over it.

Her eyebrows and eyes were like a painting; she was stunningly beautiful even without makeup, with a simple and elegant charm.

"Sword Master, what's your opinion?"

That's right, Bie Xuening is here too.

Now that her cultivation has improved and she no longer has to stay in the Sword Sect like before, of course she has to come along!
“…” After a pause, Bie Xuening said calmly, “I think it’s best to stick to the original plan.”

Leaving aside the vast, chaotic sea, it's normal for any kind of world to appear.

Moreover, if we were to explore this area now, we would have to draw manpower from elsewhere.

However, there are only so many profound and mysterious paths, and it's not really appropriate to let those who are in harmony with the Dao handle it.

After all, that was a great world at the lowest level of Dao Integration, and it wasn't included in the Immortal Net. Sending a Dao Integration cultivator to explore it rashly would be too risky...

"Emm..." Xu Xing thought for a moment and said, "How about I send a wisp of my sword intent spirit to check on the situation?"

"No!"

Bie Xuening and Ning Ruo spoke almost simultaneously.

Perhaps somewhat surprised, the two exchanged a glance after speaking, and finally Ning Ruo looked at Xu Xing and said:

"Brother Xu not only has to maintain the Immortal Network, but also mobilize forces to protect Wanzhu and that junior, and also clear away the influence left by the Xuan Su in the nearby realm."

Before the Immortal Sect Grand Competition, Xu Xing went to the Chaos Sea and ordered all the myriad realms affected by the Xuan to come to a standstill.

He kept a small portion of those with less influence as training grounds for future experiences.

However, for those with more profound impacts, he still had to personally step in to eliminate the influence.

"The world you discovered this time is too far away. You went through a lot of trouble to leave a sword mark in the Ancient Tai Xuan Heaven. If Xuan seizes the opportunity to remove the sword mark because of this, then it will be a loss."

The power of a true immortal is inexhaustible, yet deviations from the Dao leave traces.

Simply put, the wider the reach of Xu Xing's power, the more easily the traces of Dao left in the Tai Xuan Realm will shift.

If I get too distracted by the Chaos Sea, Xuan might seize the opportunity to remove that sword mark from the Ancient Tai Xuan Heaven...

"Too."

Xu Xing did not insist any further.

The most important thing right now is still within the Tai Xuan Realm.

Relatively speaking, the world that an abyss may have stayed in is not that important.

"Then let's stick to the original plan."

Ning Ruo's words can be considered a conclusion to this matter.

The three then discussed some details and finally transmitted the results to Ning Wanzhu and Ming Yu via the Immortal Network.

after a while.

The three of them walked out of the main hall.

Bie Xuening looked up.

The sky was ablaze with light, and rainbows intertwined.

The matter had been resolved, and she prepared to return to the Sword Sect with Xu Xing. However, Ning Ruo spoke first:

"Sword Master, you should go first. I have some personal things I'd like to say to Brother Xu."

Ok? !

Bie Xuening looked at her coldly.

Do you want to hear what you're saying?
……

……

Late at night, at the Sword Sect.

Inside the Sword Master's Hall, Bie Xuening's figure quietly appeared in her bedroom.

She waited at Lingyinfang for a while, and eventually returned with Xu Xing.

He first glanced at Yue Ling, who was engrossed in playing a game inside the soundproof array, and then picked up an angry-faced little yellow duck figurine from the table next to him.

This was brought back to her by that traitorous disciple from Xuanjian City.

After sitting down on the bed, she looked at the little yellow duck in her hand, but her thoughts gradually drifted away.

To be honest, the outcome of tonight's discussion was actually somewhat cruel to those two younger people.

After all, the reason they participated in the expansion of the Immortal Network was to find the Abyss.

All three of them were well aware of this.

But there is nothing we can do about it.

To put it bluntly, Yuan isn't that important.

Like her, she only paid attention to this matter because of her junior brother.

And Lingzu was only doing it because of her own disciple.

Speaking of Dan Yuan...

Whether it was her or the other fellow Daoists, in their eyes, Yuan was no different from the other Dongzhen.

So even if there might be traces of his presence in that world, they wouldn't care too much.

In her heart, in Ning Ruo's heart, and even in her junior brother's heart, the importance of the 'Immortal Network Expansion Deployment' was greater than that of 'Finding the Abyss'.

It's really not worthwhile to send a group of experts from the Mysterious Cave to search for them.

Yes, it's just not worth it!

On the other hand, Yuan himself is also a Dongzhen, a unique existence below the level of immortals.

The path he cultivated was the kind that was beneficial for traversing the Chaos Sea.

It's safe to say that as long as he doesn't do anything reckless, there will be absolutely no security issues.

Thinking of this, Bie Xuening's thoughts drifted back to the more distant past.

My junior fellow apprentice had the idea of ​​searching for his hometown more than once back then.

Compared to Yuan, he carries a greater responsibility, and many people's expectations are placed on him...

Hopefully, once everything is resolved, he can live a more carefree life.
