Eternal Tale

Chapter 346: The Grand Taiyi World

The Taiyi World—vast, boundless, and one of the core realms among the recognized Three Thousand Great Worlds. It is a domain teeming with unparalleled strength, where mountains are moved, seas are overturned, and countless races thrive in magnificent harmony.

The inhabitants of this world are as numerous as the stars, an incalculable number that has defied estimation since the beginning of time. Its peerless prodigies, blessed beyond even the rarest Heavenly Spiritual Roots, are born in multitudes, each generation rising to compete in grand epochs of strife and glory.

Occasionally, a monstrous talent of celestial destiny emerges, shining brilliantly across the Taiyi World. Such beings are celebrated with divine omens spanning thousands of miles, ascending directly to the Chaos Immortal Spirit Rankings, evoking awe and envy from countless cultivators.

No one truly knows the number of eternal sects, ancient lineages, or immortal kingdoms that exist in such a world. The heritage and power of this realm defy comprehension, making even the strongest cultivators within its boundaries unable to traverse its entirety in a lifetime.

Every Great World serves as a cradle of life. Stars that fall from the heavens, fertile lands birthed by the earth, and majestic mountains and rivers intertwine seamlessly to form endless islands, continents, and terrains. The spiritual energy here is as inexhaustible as the realm itself.

Within Taiyi World, seven radiant suns illuminate the skies from different directions. Their crimson brilliance turns the rainbow clouds into vibrant scarlet hues, bathing the world below in an ethereal light.

The celestial heavens occasionally host gargantuan warships, as vast as ancient mountains, sailing through domain gates that stand like pillars of eternity. Floating immortal palaces, celestial islands, and paradisiacal sanctuaries shimmer above the clouds, resonating with celestial melodies and spiritual energy.

The Taiyi World is home to a hundred ancient forbidden lands, whose awe-inspiring presence reverberates through history. These sites stretch from the heavens to the domain gates, shrouded in mysteries lost to time. Even a single forbidden land far surpasses the scale of Chen Xun’s previous small realm, while the entirety of the Taiyi World dwarfs such places immeasurably.

Here, the cultivation civilization is so advanced that even mortal beings can defy and slay Foundation Establishment cultivators. The edges of the Taiyi World stretch into the Boundless Void, a mysterious frontier where nascent realms frequently emerge. Some are realms of life, while others are mineral veins, all orbiting the immense Taiyi World.

The Boundless Void, however, is not without peril. Known as the "Graveyard of Immortals," the "Land of Exile," and the "Final Resting Place," it seethes with spatial storms, chaotic flows, and colossal falling stars. Yet, it remains a land of both boundless opportunities and catastrophic risks. Ancient records even speak of the rare appearance of void-dwelling beasts, hiding secrets beyond mortal understanding.

In this sprawling, chaotic realm, factions rise and fall daily. Despite their disputes, the conflicts of myriad races seem insignificant against the vast backdrop of the Taiyi World, where only the top ten thousand clans listed in the Chaos Immortal Spirit Rankings hold lasting prominence.

The true scope of the races and secrets of the Taiyi World defy exploration. This magnificent realm embodies the boundless mysteries of life, inspiring awe and reverence among cultivators who seek to unravel its truths.

Yet, even these wonders are but the tip of the iceberg of what the Taiyi World offers.

<hr>

At the edge of the Taiyi World, amidst the serene glow of iridescent clouds, tranquility reigned. The heavens here stretched beyond mortal comprehension, evoking awe and humility in all who gazed upward.

This day was destined to disrupt the peace of the Taiyi World. A sudden tear ripped across the sky, revealing a swirl of seven-colored clouds. The surrounding space trembled violently as a black shadow was ejected from the vortex.

The strange sight comprised an odd group: a man, a beast, and a colossal warship. They resembled a speck of dust, cast into the vast expanse of the Taiyi World, their forms glinting faintly against the sky.

"What the… WAAAHHH!!!"

"Moo! Moo!!"

"Big Brother! Second Brother! Fourth Brother!!!"

"Sister Crane, hold onto me!"

The piercing cries of four figures echoed from tens of thousands of feet above the ground. Gale-force winds tore past them like knives, their faces contorted in shock. Behind them, their warship blazed like a meteor, plummeting through the skies.

The group’s expressions shifted from panic to exhilaration as they plunged through the clouds, streaks of fire trailing their descent. The boundless heavens, higher than any they had ever imagined, overwhelmed them.

"Brother Xun, the spiritual energy here’s incredible! I’m about to break through!" Xiao Chi shouted with glee, his fur bristling with excitement. Gazing at the dreamy scenery around him, he added, "Brother Xun, we’ve made it to the Great World!"

As they pierced the resplendent clouds, Brother Ox, overcome by curiosity, bit into one. His eyes widened in delight. Even the clouds carried a refreshing spiritual energy.

Perched on Brother Ox’s back, Sister Crane clutched Chen Xun’s sleeve with one hand and Xiao Chi’s fur with the other. Her face flushed with excitement, her wide eyes drinking in the dreamlike vista.

The vast heavens shimmered with blue and violet hues, the ever-changing clouds exuding an almost tangible weight. The world below unfolded in stunning splendor.

"WHOO-HOO!!!" Chen Xun threw his arms wide and howled, his voice brimming with exhilaration. "Brother Ox! Sister Crane! Xiao Chi! Look at that! Two suns!"

"Moo!!!" Brother Ox roared jubilantly, spreading his legs mid-air. For the first time, he and Chen Xun felt an unparalleled sense of freedom, surrounded by family.

Xiao Chi’s eyes darted between the dazzling suns hanging in the sky. "Two suns… This is really part of the Three Thousand Great Worlds?!"

A melodic laugh rang out. Sister Crane’s face glowed with curiosity and wonder. A tiny black-shelled turtle, the infant corrupted being she had safeguarded, perched lazily on her shoulder, exuding an air of indolence.

Buzz…

The warship’s luminous runes flared, pulling the group aboard. They stood atop the deck, gazing below at the breathtaking landscape—an endless continent teeming with great lakes, towering mountains, ancient trees, and resplendent spiritual veins. Yet, the winds carried the salty tang of the sea, hinting that this vast land was but an island.

Standing on the prow, Chen Xun’s gaze softened with a trace of longing. He had not anticipated emerging in the skies after breaking the spatial barrier. Instead of rising from the ground, they were thrust into the heavens, far exceeding his expectations.

Though the way back remained unclear, their small realm was now linked to the Taiyi World. For the first time, Chen Xun and his companions felt unburdened, free to wander and explore. This grand world was theirs to discover, one step at a time.

Together, as man, ox, girl, lion, and their venerable warship, they stood poised to embrace the vast unknown.
