Chapter 1355: Chapter 1354 Harmonization

Cultivation World.

Qinghe and others stood on top of Heaven’s Gate Peak Mountain, anxiously waiting for the outcome of this battle.

“What’s the situation now!” Jiang Lianyi paced back and forth in anxiety, unable to calm down for even a moment.

Qinghe noticed that, unlike the others, Yun Mengmeng was staring blankly at the sky.

“Mengmeng, what are you looking at?”

Yun Mengmeng raised her hand and pointed at the night sky: “Looking at the stars.”

“What stars?” Qinghe was puzzled, and followed her gaze upwards, her pupils suddenly constricting.

The stars in the night sky were growing dim and extinguishing one by one, no longer able to illuminate the Star Domain.

…

As the cosmos collapsed and all laws fell silent, the Law Path intertwined, turning into a sky full of starlight, almost as if it was the end of the world; even Immortals found it difficult to interfere in this battle.

Facing an increasingly powerful Yun Zhi, the hidden antagonist felt a sudden surge of pressure. The enhancement brought by nearing the Harmonization Realm was too terrifying; without even achieving Harmonization, she already had the capability to fight on equal footing, so what would it be like if she truly harmonized?!

Yun Zhi seemed to have become the embodiment of heaven and earth, with every action reflecting the will of the cosmos. The great trend of the world stood with Yun Zhi, as did her destiny, immensely terrifying.

“How is this possible!” The hidden antagonist revealed an expression of disbelief.

Omniscience, Transcendence, Harmonization, these are the three parallel Realms above that of Immortals. Yun Zhi should only be his match at the Harmonization Realm. How could she emanate such a terrifying aura while merely on the brink of Harmonization?!

“Because the path you’ve taken is wrong!” Fairy Eternity took advantage of his distraction and threw a punch, landing on the hidden antagonist’s face.

“The Transcendence method you achieved is not the Righteous Path but just a shortcut!”

“The true way of Transcendence involves continually comprehending the Dao Fruit, dispelling the qi mechanism, becoming a carrier of the rules, separating heaven from humans, and thereby cutting off Causality!” Fairy Eternity declared, causing the hidden antagonist’s heart to tremble.

As the creator of the Dao Fruit system, Fairy Eternity not only saw the method to achieve the All-Knowing Realm but also the path to the Law of Transcendence.

To achieve the Law of Transcendence, killing is not necessary. One simply needs to carefully refine the Dao Fruit; the Transcendence Realm will naturally come to fruition without resorting to a path of thorough extermination!

“Shut up!” The hidden antagonist shouted in anger. To achieve Transcendence, he had long been subjected to boundless slaughters, turning even his close friends of yesteryear into souls under his blade; this was something he least wanted to dredge up. Now, Fairy Eternity was claiming his method was mistaken, how could he bear it!

“You’re overly eager to pursue Realms, acting too hastily, doomed not to succeed!” Fairy Eternity said again. She saw her own reflection in the hidden antagonist, blindly obsessed with attaining ultimate Realms, falling into an inferior state.

In contrast, when she cut off her past self and achieved the Immortal Fairy title, her Mind State was serene, enjoying the pleasures brought by cultivation, and she could see many more roads clearly ahead.

She hadn’t mentioned these things in Ancient Times because she believed that cultivation was endless. Blindly pursuing Realms would make one a slave to those Realms, with a problematic Mind State, how could one speak of Transcendence.

Fairy Eternity saw that after the Yingtian Immortal and the four others became immortal, they didn’t seem to want to continue cultivating, and speaking of it would only create pressure for them.

Her achievement of Omniscience was not a deliberate pursuit, but rather a natural result. She herself hadn’t even thought that she would achieve Omniscience.

The battle between the three had turned into the purest collision of the Law Path, with the hidden antagonist vomiting blood. Immortal Blood exploded in the cosmos, turning into a cloud of chaotic mist, causing space to collapse wherever it passed, creating black holes.

“Pff–”

Yun Zhi and Fairy Eternity were also severely injured, blood trickling from the corners of their mouths.

Time Immortal opened his Heavenly Eye, as the fight has dragged on to this point, casting uncertainty within him; he desired to glimpse the future of this battle.

With the opening and closing of the Heavenly Eye, the future was an endless chaos, where neither the mechanisms of Heaven nor causality could be discerned–not to mention clarifying the outcome of this battle, even the events of the next moment were completely obscured!

“Is there something wrong with Daoist Yun Zhi’s body?” Qilin Immortal, with the keenest sight, furrowed his brow and said.

The battlefield of the three had been enveloped in radiant light and utmost darkness, and they could only judge which side was gaining the upper hand through changes in momentum.

Qilin Immortal noticed the color of Yun Zhi’s body was changing; it was fading, as if a freshly painted picture was submerged in the clear river water, with the pigments dissolving in the water.

“Indeed.” Prompted by Qilin Immortal’s observation, the others also noticed the abnormality in Yun Zhi.

They had never seen such a transformation; it was almost as though… she was merging with the universe!

Thump–Thump–

A strange sound appeared in everyone’s ears, like the beating of a heart, but the sound was fleeting. They extended their Immortal Sense, capturing nothing.

Only Lu Yang knew clearly that this was the heartbeat of Eldest Senior Sister; by merging her body with Dao and substituting her heart for the heavens, Eldest Senior Sister was gradually becoming “Heaven” itself.

The situation on the battlefield changed in an instant, Yun Zhi’s aura surged repeatedly, eventually completely overshadowing the presence of the mastermind behind the scenes. The entire universe became her home ground, and all beings in the universe could sense her aura.

Yun Zhi closed her eyes, her perception extending infinitely. She sensed the mastermind before her, sensed Yun Mengmeng who was sitting on the mountains of Heaven’s Gate Peak Mountain hugging her knees and watching the stars, and sensed the corners of the universe’s wild edges–places still unexplored by the Cultivation World, abundant with Life Stars, the movements of these beings all within Yun Zhi’s perception.

She raised her hand and gently clenched it into a fist; at this moment, she was the universe itself, manipulating the natural forces between heaven and earth at a mere thought. The stars transformed into a furnace, igniting the primordial fire of heaven and earth to refine the mastermind behind the scenes.

The mastermind behind the scenes bellowed, the star furnace exploded, the primordial fire of heaven and earth was extinguished. He possessed the Five Elements Dao Fruit; even the primordial fire of heaven and earth was within the range of the Five Elements, failing to hinder him!

As for the myriad stars, belonging to Earth Element and Gold Element, they were also within the scope of the Five Elements Dao Fruit!

In the next moment, Yun Zhi’s aura disappeared, her body became even more transparent, like an ethereal and clear water figure.

If one looked with Immortal Sense, they could not feel Yun Zhi’s existence at all!

The mastermind behind the scenes developed a sense of chilling dread, as if what he was facing was not a person, but the supreme Heaven, while he was a rebellious being daring to be the enemy of Heaven!

In the end, even the water figure vanished, leaving only a shadowy silhouette.

The silhouette’s expression was unclear, yet it conveyed an extremely terrifying sense of indifference.

“Yun Luo.”

The silhouette spoke, its voice even colder than Yun Zhi’s usual tone, as a hand forged from the Law Path descended upon the mastermind behind the scenes. The mastermind spat out a great mouthful of blood, his face revealing an expression of disbelief, receiving the most grievous wound ever since the battle had begun!

His life force was terrifyingly vigorous, recovering in the blink of an eye as if he had not been injured at all.

He stared intently at the silhouette, his expression grave, certain now that Yun Zhi truly had attained Harmonization.

The gap between Harmonization and Transcendence should not be so vast. Could it be that he had really taken the wrong path?

…

“Ah, Xiao Zhi’s star has gone out.” Yun Mengmeng pointed to the last dimming star in the starry sky.

“Who is Xiao Zhi?” Qinghe, who was sitting by her side, asked.
