Chapter 1834 The Strange Nine Divine Realms
Just then, the vertical mark between the eyebrows of the Celestial Eye Immortal Venerable shone with light, and he couldn't help but say, "Strange!"
"What happened?" asked the Immortal Venerable Kongxuan.
"Reporting to Immortal Venerable Kongxuan, I just used my Void-Piercing Heavenly Eye to observe the fortunes of the Nine Divine Realms and discovered that their world fortunes not only show no signs of decline, but are actually showing signs of solidification. What's even more strange is that there seem to be several nascent ferry forms condensing within the realms... Judging from their aura, they are all of superior foundations!"
Everyone's attention was originally focused on the Xuanxu Great Realm, so destroying the Nine Divine Realms was just a matter of course.
Unexpectedly, Celestial Venerable Tianmu discovered the anomaly in the Nine Divine Realms first.
"A ferry prototype?" The radiant light around Immortal Venerable Xiaque condensed slightly. "The Nine Divine Realms are barren of resources, lacking even complete eighth-order immortal veins. How can they support a True Immortal to condense a ferry? Let alone a ferry prototype with a superior foundation?"
"Unless..." For the first time, Kongxuan Immortal Venerable's thoughts were filled with doubt, "someone used a heaven-defying method to condense it with the help of a special treasure."
The Gluttonous Demon Lord burst into wild laughter: "Even a nascent ferry with a superior foundation is only at the True Immortal level! Without becoming a Golden Immortal, the ferry is not yet real, and everything is an illusion! With one turn of my ferry, I will draw upon the torrent of the Earthly Era's Return to Ruins, enough to devour ten or a hundred nascent ferry forms along with their masters!"
"We must not underestimate our enemy." The Cold Silence Demon Lord's voice was icy. "If someone can truly cultivate a rudimentary form of a superior ferry in this broken realm, their talent must be extraordinary. If they later also gain control of the ferry and are further aided by the advantages of this broken realm..."
"Fellow Daoist Hanji is overthinking it," said the Demon Lord of Prison in a deep voice. "The Great Dao Ferry of a Golden Immortal can summon the power of Heaven and Earth at will. When it rotates forward, the power of Heaven transforms into thousands of star blades that can slay immortals and demons. When it rotates backward, the power of Earth transforms into a torrent of returning to nothingness that can devour all things. How could such power be blocked by a mere rudimentary True Immortal Ferry?"
Kongxuan Immortal Venerable nodded and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhenyu is right. At worst, I will use the ferry as a medium to construct the Great Dao Revolving Array, incorporating all the Great Daos of the heavens into the array, and suppress all the heavens with one strike! Even Golden Immortals of the same level will tremble in fear!"
"A single strike can subdue all the heavens..." The figure of the Thousand-Faced Demon Lord shifted within the mist. "The Void Profound Immortal Venerable has actually reached this realm, truly remarkable. I have heard that to cultivate a true Reincarnation Array, one must use one's own Reincarnation as the core, setting up an array with 3,600 cycles of Heavenly Grid and 3,600 degrees of Earthly Grid, triggering the yang to rise and the yin to erode, causing the Great Dao to reverse... That is a sign of impacting the Taiyi realm."
Mentioning "Taiyi" also made the other Golden Immortals all look solemn.
That was the realm they pursued their entire lives.
Taiyi is a colossal realm, with places like the Meteor Demon Sea, the Silent Soul Court, the Myriad Manifestations Palace, and the Eternal Divine Palace all situated atop superior immortal veins.
Those Taiyi beings have already taken a different path.
It possesses an eternal temple, with supreme authority within its domain.
There is a Celestial Pool that reflects all paths of enlightenment...
That level of attainment is beyond the comprehension of even a Golden Immortal.
"Taiyi... is not something we should discuss at this moment," said the Void Profound Immortal Venerable vaguely.
Everyone fell silent again.
However, I felt a mix of emotions.
That's the Taiyi Realm!
The cultivation of the Great Dao Ferry becomes increasingly difficult as one progresses.
Every step forward requires massive resources and a long period of time.
Unexpectedly, this Immortal Venerable Kongxuan is already close to the Taiyi realm.
Celestial Venerable Tianmu said, "However, if someone in the Nine Divine Realms has indeed cultivated the prototype of a superior ferry, and more than one... there must be something fishy about this. I suggest that we not rush to take action after arriving, but investigate carefully first."
"Investigate?" The Demon Lord of Prisons shook his head. "Eight Golden Immortals and two hundred and eighty True Immortals have descended upon a dilapidated realm. Is there any need for investigation? Just crush them!"
“Fellow Daoist Zhenyu,” Immortal Venerable Kongxuan said calmly, “Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit. Moreover… if there truly is an opportunity in that remnant realm that can help a True Immortal cultivate the rudimentary form of a superior ferry, then that opportunity itself might be a treasure no less precious than the one offered by Xuanxu.”
Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in the eyes of all the Golden Immortals.
Yes.
The nine divine realms are resource-poor, yet they were able to give birth to the prototype of a superior ferry. What does this mean?
This means that there may be undiscovered ancient ruins, innate treasures, or... the legacy left behind by a certain Taiyi being!
"In that case..." the Thousand-Faced Demon Lord chuckled wickedly, "this mission is becoming increasingly interesting."
Kongxuan Immortal Venerable nodded and said, "Then it shall be settled in this manner. After arriving at the Nine Divine Realms, we shall first investigate before taking action. If there is any earth-shattering opportunity, we shall each rely on our own abilities, but we must abide by the covenant between the two realms and refrain from internal strife."
"good."
"can."
The Golden Immortals all agreed in succession.
The eight figures fell silent, and the illusory ferry behind each of them slowly rotated, absorbing the chaotic energy from the folds of space.
Deeper into the spatial folds behind them, two hundred and eighty True Immortals were rapidly advancing, circling the Golden Immortal Dao Domain according to a profound formation.
Thirty years have passed in the blink of an eye.
When the allied forces of immortals and demons, consisting of eight Golden Immortals and two hundred and eighty True Immortals, tore through the folds of space and descended upon the boundary membrane void surrounding the nine divine realms, everyone was stunned.
What awaited them was neither the devastated territory they had imagined, nor the fearful resistance they had anticipated.
It was a defensive formation far larger than anyone could imagine!
Nine majestic stars of different colors slowly rotate along mysterious trajectories, connected by countless dazzling starlight chains, forming a unified protective immortal array!
The array's aura was deep and heavy, and the power of the heavens and earth resonated faintly between the flowing starlight, clearly indicating that it was already at the level of a ninth-order grand array!
"This..." The Gluttonous Demon Lord's blood-red eyes widened. "What's going on? A ninth-order grand formation? How could such a remote and impoverished place as the Nine Divine Realms possibly build a ninth-order grand formation?!"
"Something's not right." The vertical line between Tianmu Immortal Venerable's brows burned intensely. "The foundation of this formation is extremely solid; it couldn't have been completed in less than several hundred years. Moreover, at the formation's core... there are remnants of Golden Immortal Daoist aura! Someone is controlling this formation!"
"A Golden Immortal?" For the first time, the icy voice of the Cold and Silent Demon Lord carried a hint of surprise and doubt. "How could there be a Golden Immortal in the Nine Divine Realms?"
Just as the eight Golden Immortals were filled with doubt and uncertainty—
"Buzz!"
At the center of the Nine Luminaries Grand Array, the main star representing the central palace suddenly lit up, and a clear, cold voice pierced through the array's barrier, echoing in the void:
"Fellow Daoist ahead, what brings you to our Nine Divine Realms?"
As the voice faded, an ice-blue figure slowly emerged from the main star.
She wore a flowing, ethereal dress with wide sleeves, and walked barefoot on an ice lotus. A flawless ferry seal shimmered with a clear light between her brows.
It is indeed Jiao'er!
The illusory image of the Great Ferry around her appeared and disappeared, and each rotation caused the stars in the sky to resonate.
Golden Immortal!
A genuine Golden Immortal!
Moreover, judging from the Daoist charm of its Great Dao Ferry, its foundation is so solid and its Dao fruit so perfect that it far surpasses that of an ordinary early-stage Golden Immortal!
"Almost reached the mid-stage of Golden Immortal?!" Immortal Venerable Xiaque's pupils shrank slightly, and the radiant glow behind him appeared on its own, with nine-colored glow flowing endlessly.
"How is this possible? According to the vague intelligence, there were very few True Immortals in the Nine Divine Realms. How could a Golden Immortal suddenly appear?"
"More than one." The Thousand-Faced Demon Lord's body was surrounded by swirling mist, his voice wavering. "My Thousand-Faced Ferry has sensed... at least two more Golden Immortal auras deep within the formation!"
As if to confirm his words—
"boom!"
On the left and right sides of the Nine Realms Grand Array, a secondary star lit up.
From the left auxiliary star, an old man dressed in a moon-white wide-sleeved Taoist robe and holding a white jade whisk slowly walked out.
Xuanweizi, mid-stage Golden Immortal, Deputy Director of the Zhou Tian Jian in the Xuanxu Great Realm!
On the right auxiliary star, a tall man clad in magnificent golden armor appears.
Jade Balance Immortal Lord, early stage of Golden Immortal, envoy of the Holy Light Divine Court!
As soon as the two Golden Immortals appeared, they formed a triangle with Jiao'er, jointly supporting the core array eye of the ninth-order grand array.
The three golden immortal auras merged into one, causing the nine celestial bodies to rotate wildly, and the power of the formation increased by another 30%!
