BXBX NOVEL Chapter 762: Harmony City and Calamity Source!
This was a level that had baffled the likes of the White Emperor for thousands of years…
If it weren\'t for all the life-ending crises that Yun Xiao kept facing one after the other, none of the opponents that he had encountered so far would have any right to challenge the Creator Immortal!
Even the Chaos Soul, with its over 20 year lead, was defeated within the span of a few days!
At this moment, Yun Xiao\'s anticipation and curiosity about what was beyond the Taiji Gate had reached a peak.
Black and white spirals swirled around the Mortal Dust Devil Spirit, the previous discordant noise filling his ears like swarms of flies.
The words Grand Assembly of Myriad Sects were the most frequent amidst the buzz—a testament to its prominence in the Samsara Galaxy.
“We\'re in…”
After passing through the black and white storm, the blended Mortal Dust Devil Spirit of Yun Xiao and the War Princess gradually made it through to the other side.Looking ahead through, a vast world of spirits suddenly unfolded before them...
Countless twinkling nebulae, bunch after bunch, burst forth with colored lights, both far and near, in an endless expanse.
These nebulae seemed to transcend spatial boundaries.
Right next to the Mortal Dust Devil Spirit was a pale pink nebula, bizarre and shimmering, with shadows of other spirits flickering within.
“Is this the Extreme Yin Celestial Realm within the Taiji Spirit Plane?” Yun Xiao thought, propelling the Mortal Dust Devil Spirit toward the pink nebula.
The pale light whizzed by as the Mortal Dust Devil Spirit sped on.
“This Taiji Spirit Plane seems vague and mutable in terms of space and distance…”
For instance, the pink nebula initially appeared small, but as the Mortal Dust Devil Spirit delved into it, the illusory palaces and landscapes magnified, stretching infinitely.
As the Mortal Dust Devil Spirit landed before a grand palace, the world expanded to its fullest, as if the entire Extreme Yin Celestial Realm was replicated one-to-one within the Taiji Spirit Plane.
As the Mortal Dust Devil Spirit retreated, the world shrank ceaselessly until it was no more than a pale pink nebula.
This nebula, floating amidst a river of countless others in the Taiji Spirit Plane, varied in size from grand to modest. The marvel of spatial distance within the Taiji Spirit Plane became clear. Although the Extreme Yin Celestial Realm lay far from other Celestial Sourcecores, as the Mortal Dust Devil Spirit moved toward other nebulae in this river, Yun Xiao felt as if he were soaring across the cosmos, the wind rushing by.
Before long, he arrived at a nearby nebula.
Yun Xiao could not gauge how far he actually was from this Celestial Sourcecore in the real world, but as he entered this nebula, the space around him stretched endlessly.
Surrounding him were the spirits of Immortals, both men and women together—a practice not common in the Extreme Yin Celestial Realm, clearly indicating that these were spirits from other Celestial Sourcecores.
"How fascinating," Yun Xiao mused, "a spiritual realm where one\'s spirit can roam, where the distances and sizes are mutable, allowing for interactions—and even conflicts—with beings across the entire Samsara Galaxy."
While not an Anima Immortal, the Buddha\'s Treasure Spirit within Yun Xiao was lethally potent.
After lingering for a while in this otherworldly nebula of spirits, Yun Xiao discerned that this was a world called the Northern Sword Star, a realm solely of Sword Cultivators.
To Yun Xiao\'s chagrin, though the Northern Sword Star\'s nebula was adjacent to the Extreme Yin Celestial Realm within the Taiji Spirit Plane, its actual counterpart wasn\'t even in the Heavenly Deity Stellar River, and its physical distance from the Extreme Yin Celestial Realm was unfathomably vast.
"So, the Taiji Spirit Plane doesn\'t correspond directly to the real world."
Delving deeper into Northern Sword Star, the world expanded vastly. The moment he set foot on its soil, the vast realm filled with countless Sword Cultivators unfolded before him.
"Damn, how grand would it be to journey in such a world?"
Yet now, a world full of women presented more dangers.
Unfazed by the challenges, the Mortal Dust Devil Spirit returned from Northern Sword Star, swiftly nearing the Taiji Gate beside the nebula of the Extreme Yin Celestial Realm.
"Is this Taiji Essence?" Yun Xiao sensed a peculiar black and white mist in this realm. With each breath, his Mortal Dust Devil Spirit inhaled this Taiji Essence.
This initial encounter with the Taiji Essence significantly transformed the Mortal Dust Devil Spirit, boosting its power considerably.
The entire Taiji Spirit Plane was suffused with this essence.
Such were the benefits of crossing the Gates of Life and Death.
"If I\'d entered this Taiji Spirit Plane back in the Great Dao Celestial Realm, I could indeed interact with the entire Samsara Galaxy..."
Yun Xiao gazed upon the vast river of nebulae.
If not for his eagerness to reach the Harmony Divine Palace, he would have relished exploring more of these diverse nebulae of spirits.
"Next time, we\'ll explore properly!" the Mortal Dust Devil Spirit declared as it withdrew from the Taiji Spirit Plane, returning to the War Princess.
With a sigh, the War Princess opened her beautiful eyes, exhaling deeply. "The path of cultivation is intriguing; my body remains here, yet my spirit has traversed countless miles."
"When my true spirit ventures into the Taiji Spirit Plane, it\'ll be even more fascinating. I could strike down someone miles away," Yun Xiao added.
"Why do you always think of killing?" the princess asked, exasperated.
"It\'s just a metaphor," Yun Xiao replied.
"And what did the metaphor do to deserve a beating?" she pouted.
"That joke is colder than the Extreme Yin Celestial Realm," Yun Xiao shot back, glancing at her before continuing, "Enough playing around, get ready, we\'re setting out."
"Ah? My spirit was just in the Taiji Spirit Plane, shouldn\'t I just directly cultivate into the Fourth Dao Tribulation?" the War Princess asked.
"Entering the Taiji Spirit Plane with your spirit is just the initial condition for the Fourth Dao Tribulation. However, the core of the Fourth Dao Tribulation\'s cultivation is no longer the spirit; you have an even more crucial step ahead," Yun Xiao explained earnestly.
"What? You mean that halo behind the head? That silly thing that makes you look like you\'d died and ascended to heaven" she scoffed.
"That\'s the Corona, an innate ability with tremendous lethal potential and utility. I\'ve learned that for humans and devils, the Fourth Dao Tribulation primarily involves cultivating the Corona. Its strength directly determines the peak of the Fourth Dao Tribulation," Yun Xiao explained.
"How do I condense this Corona then?" she asked, curious.
"The Fourth Dao Tribulation is a special period, different from the previous three. Each major realm comes with trials that forge the Corona. To strengthen it, you need something called a Calamity Source. To form the initial Corona, you also need a Calamity Source," Yun Xiao said.
"Oh, that sounds quite troublesome!" the War Princess muttered, not fully understanding but figuring she didn’t need to grasp it all, just following along.
"Below the Harmony Divine Palace, there\'s a place called Harmony City, a hub for cultivators ascending to the palace. They sell Calamity Sources there. We\'ll buy one, and you can start your journey through the Fourth Dao Tribulation," Yun Xiao said.
"How do you know all this?" the War Princess asked, stunned.
"While we were in the Taiji Spirit Plane, I was listening to others. What were you doing?" Yun Xiao chuckled.
"I was admiring how beautiful the place was..." she said defiantly.
"You’re really incorrigible." Yun Xiao took her arm and pulled her up, then seriously admonished, "Harmony City is bound to be bustling; it\'s a mix of all sorts. You\'ll need to be sharp and handle things up front."
"Alright, got it!" Though she felt a bit pressured.
"Do you really understand?" Yun Xiao doubted.
"Just need to act the part of a lady boss, right? Watch, Little Yun, I\'ll make you grovel at my feet, and if you disobey, a slap awaits," the War Princess boasted confidently.
"You can try. I promise you, though; once we\'re alone again, I\'ll pay you back tenfold," Yun Xiao retorted.
"Fine!" The War Princess huffed and strode forward.
"You\'re going the wrong way; Harmony City is that way," Yun Xiao said, exasperated.
"Then lead the way! Careful, or I might just sell you to an old lady," she joked, laughing uncontrollably.
Watching her doubled over with laughter, Yun Xiao could only rub his forehead and mutter under his breath, "I\'ve really got myself a fool.
