Chapter 651: Chapter 513: Delaying the Collapse of the Three Realms, Core of the Earth_2

Just as both of them were lost in thought, the misty aura transformed by the celestial Dao was eager to merge the Core of the Earth into itself.

That pebble-sized Core of the Earth, under the stimulation of the celestial Dao Will, instantly erupted with immense power.

In a flash, even a Three-Step Sage like Daoist Ancestor Hongjun, along with Wang Yang, was directly blasted out of that space.

...

The Three Realms were born of Chaos, and since the Great God Pangu created Heaven and Earth from Chaos, battling three thousand Divine Demons, the freshly formed Three Realms also faced disintegration.

Countless Divine Demons, masters of the Great Dao, fell under the Pangu Axe in that battle, and numerous Divine Demons chose to flee from the Three Realms, avoiding Pangu.

Just one battle caused the newly formed Three Realms to inevitably crumble somewhat, and defects in the celestial Dao began to appear starting from then.

The Great Dao of Darkness and the Demon Path converged to form the Abyss of Darkness, which, although ultimately merging with the Three Realms, once drifted outside of them.

Furthermore, numerous Minor Daos were obliterated in the process, permanently disappearing from within the Three Realms.

And those fragments of the shattered Three Realms, bearing traces of the power of the Great Dao, drifted from Chaos and fell into the Void.

It was for this reason that the Three Realms, from their birth, began walking towards destruction.

Standing in the Origin Land, both Wang Yang and Daoist Ancestor Hongjun looked at the scene before them and were at a loss for words.

The mass of misty aura successfully ignited the energy contained within the Core of the Earth and began greedily absorbing it.

That rate was much faster than the absorption of the Power of a Saint ten years ago.

Seeing this scene solidified their belief even more that the Core of the Earth indeed had an unimaginable effect on the origin of the Three Realms.

"If we can truly complete the celestial Dao, then Wang Yang, you will be the savior of the entire Three Realms!"

Daoist Ancestor Hongjun said, somewhat excitedly.

"The Ancestral Master speaks too highly of me, Wang Yang is also a man of the Three Realms; for their sake, it’s my duty!"

Wang Yang told Daoist Ancestor Hongjun.

In fact, when sending out the Core of the Earth, Wang Yang hadn’t considered any benefit for himself; it was just that the celestial Dao needed the Core of the Earth more than he did.

"Hahaha, with Wang Yang in our Three Realms, how could we talk of extinction!"

Daoist Ancestor Hongjun laughed heartily, feeling even more that his initial choice was correct.

Meanwhile, as the two talked, the celestial Dao had already absorbed a vast amount of energy from the Core of the Earth.

But that pebble-sized Core of the Earth showed no signs of shrinking or depletion.

Wang Yang understood that the Core of the Earth truly was a treasure.

While the two were still in the Origin Land watching the celestial Dao absorbing the energy of the Core of the Earth, significant changes had already taken place within the Three Realms.

Places that were once barren began to exude wisps of Spiritual Energy, and areas already rich in Spiritual Energy saw it become even denser.

Especially in places that had not yet recovered after the great battle of the Three Realms, like the Mara Mountain Range in Western Cow Hezhou, not only had the Spiritual Energy been restored, but they had also received special favor, giving birth to many cave heavens and blessed lands.

Such places might not interest a Quasi-Saint or peak Great Luo.

But for Earth Immortals and Hermit Immortals of the lower realms, every single one of them was overjoyed, their faith in the boundless celestial Dao growing stronger.

The rapidly swirling misty aura carried a hint of impatience, a hint of joy, and a hint of power.

It made Wang Yang and Hongjun even more reluctant to leave the Origin Land, standing guard over the celestial Dao like protectors.

Near the Purple Cloud Palace, Saint Taiqing and others, having received the news, emerged from seclusion, seeking Daoist Ancestor Hongjun, but the Purple Cloud Palace was empty, not even an avatar was left behind.

Wang Yang, too, had disappeared without a trace.

"Where have they gone? They hurriedly left yesterday without leaving any message!"

Leader of the Tongtian Sect was somewhat anxious; his most respected Honorable Master and his friend, Wang Yang, had vanished simultaneously, which left him unsure of what to say.

"Let’s not worry about these matters; if the two of them have left together, there must be important affairs at hand."

"However, with the tremendous changes now occurring in the Three Realms, we, being beyond the heavens, are completely unaware of their cause!"

Yuanshi celestial Venerable was somewhat puzzled.

"The only benefit is that the sudden immense changes that appeared are all for the betterment of the Three Realms."

"With the revival of Spiritual Energy, the entire Three Realms have stepped out from the ruins of the post-war period, once again presenting a prosperous and thriving scene."

Saint Taiqing looked much more relaxed than he had ten years ago.

"Do you think, Honorable Master and Wang Yang’s sudden departure might be related to the transformation of the Three Realms?"

Zhun Ti suddenly said.

This statement stunned everyone. Indeed, they had emerged from seclusion because they sensed the transformation of the Three Realms, but once they realized the transformation was heading in a positive direction, they naturally lost their concern.

However, Zhun Ti’s remark made them think more and believe that it made sense.

"If the great change in the Three Realms is related to Honorable Master and the others, then they must be undertaking a significant task!"

The Leader of the Tongtian Sect swallowed a mouthful of water.

"It’s just a pity that we are not destined to be involved in such matters."

The Saint Taiqing sighed. He genuinely felt some regret for not having witnessed the scene.

But regret aside, with both Daoist Ancestor Hongjun and Wang Yang absent, the six of them naturally had no intention of going back into seclusion. Instead, they took over the duties of Hongjun to patrol the Three Realms.

What they didn’t realize was that all this was just the beginning.

Across the lands of the Four Continents of the Three Realms, wars had erupted everywhere except in the ever-stable Dongsheng Divine Continent.

But now, with the resurgence of Spiritual Energy, the growth of vegetation was visible to the naked eye.

Even more peculiar flowers and plants quietly emerged on the vast lands.

Under the nourishment of the Spiritual Energy, even ordinary people felt more comfortable in their bodies.

Life spans were gradually increasing.

In the Underworld, the Six Paths of Reincarnation constantly revolved, but outside Fengdu City, it was no longer as desolate as before.

The Path to Yellow Springs was lined with blooming Other Shore Flowers, and behind Naihe Bridge, there was an abundance of Other Shore grass.

The Yellow Springs Water rushed under Naihe Bridge, as if it possessed emotions, no longer still and silent as before, but now capable of devouring souls.

In the far eastern lands, the islands where the Human Teachings Sect and Expounding Teachings Sect had secluded themselves, a parasol tree gradually grew. Its leaves bright like fire, from afar, it resembled a still-burning torch.

"Wang Yang, what exactly is this thing? It’s been so long, and it’s still not fully absorbed!"

At the Origin Land, Daoist Ancestor Hongjun looked somewhat helpless at Wang Yang. They had been there guarding the Heavenly Dao for over three years, but the Core of the Earth had only become a little smaller than it was at the beginning.

"I don’t know either."

Wang Yang gave a wry smile; he really didn’t know how to explain the origin of this thing, after all, the system was his biggest secret.

"Alas, at this rate, who knows how long it will take for the Heavenly Dao to fully absorb it."

"You stay here and keep watch, I will return for a while."

"I haven’t appeared in Purple Cloud Palace for three years, I need to inspect the Three Realms once more!"

Hongjun could no longer continue to stay there with him.

At the Origin Land, his avatar was unable to leave, effectively cutting off contact with the outside world.

But having merged with the Dao, he had his own responsibilities within the Three Realms—for instance, he had to patrol the Three Realms every fifty years, and now, fifty years had just come round.

"Okay!"

Wang Yang did not stop Hongjun, but he did not leave either.

Although he had been there for three years, being beside the Heavenly Dao naturally had its benefits.

Just like Wang Yang now, not only had he solidified his status as a One-Step Saint, he was also contemplating advancing further.

Of course, news of their safety also had to be communicated to the outside world.

Otherwise, in this Origin Land, if they did not go out, no one would be able to find them.

Daoist Ancestor Hongjun nodded,

Although he knew the Heavenly Dao’s absorption of the Core of the Earth would definitely affect the Three Realms.

However, Daoist Ancestor Hongjun didn’t expect that the real impact on the transformation of the Three Realms would begin only after he left the Origin Land.

Just when Daoist Ancestor Hongjun had just left the Origin Land, the Misty Qi absorbing energy from the Core of the Earth began to churn with intensity that increased more than twofold.

At first, Wang Yang thought this was the Heavenly Dao, unhappy with Hongjun for leaving only him behind, but it wasn’t long before he discarded that notion.

Because the Core of the Earth started shrinking much faster, and most crucially, Power of the Great Dao began to overflow from that space, gathering at the Origin Land.

The Mountain of Origin, which had been reduced to a hill by Wang Yang’s absorption, started growing taller at that moment.
