Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence

Chapter 483: Chapter 214 An Alternative Method of Creation_2

Opposite the great earth lay a deep and profound dark blue ocean, its tumultuous waves delineated by the shoreline, revealing a distinct division between clarity and murkiness.

Above the land, howling winds swept across everything while the deep earth below flowed with lava, resounding with a roar of flames.

In the core area where the four major rules of earth, water, wind, and fire had evolved, the breaths of the Qi of heaven and earth for each were gradually stabilizing, becoming completely fixed over a three-day transformation.

Above the land, the Great Earth’s Mysterious Weight was born from within the earth’s veins, representing the Central World Qi. With the power to control the pulse of the earth and gravity, shaping mountains and forging lands was no more than a trivial matter for it.

Within the ocean, the Swelling Sea Flowing Abyss originated from within the tide, representing the Central World Qi. It could command the tides of rivers, lakes, and seas—under its control, even ordinary waters could become natural disasters.

Above the sky, the Nirvana Burning Wheel descended from the howling winds, representing the Central World Qi. It could turn fierce winds into tornado disasters, with its columns joining heaven and earth and cleansing the vast void.

Below the magma, Ground Lung’s Melted Gold was refined from the boiling lava, representing the Central World Qi. It could draw up underground magma to melt metal and smelt iron, consuming all living creatures with a fire disaster.

Under the world rules at the dawn of this realm, Shen Yuan used the Nine Breaths Qi Absorption Great Divine Power to guide and successfully gave birth to these four potent Central World Qi.

In truth, given the primordial grade of this newly birthed world, conceiving even the storied supreme Qis of heaven and earth would have been child’s play, let alone the Central World Qi.

But the problem lay in the fact that the Secret Realm Square-Inch was simply too small; a radius of just tens of kilometers turned this grand act of world-creation into a farce.

The rank of earth, water, wind, and fire within this realm could not support the birth of the supreme Qi of heaven and earth, and reaching the higher Qi of heaven and earth was equally unattainable, hence only four strands of the Central World Qi could be cultivated.

Fortunately, from beginning to end, Shen Yuan never held much hope for this few-dozen-kilometer-radius Secret Realm Square-Inch; guiding the birth of the Qi of heaven and earth was only for better organizing the elements of earth, water, wind, and fire.

The distinctly separated domains before him were the changes brought about by Shen Yuan wielding the Nine Breaths Qi Absorption Great Divine Power to control the Qi of heaven and earth.

Although everything was but a makeshift creation, the act of manipulating the rules to forge this realm still provided Shen Yuan with immense insights.

Vaguely, Shen Yuan’s long-stagnant Nine Breaths Qi Absorption Great Divine Power showed signs of progress.

As he looked upon the now-set desolate world of earth, water, wind, and fire, Shen Yuan let out a long breath, a flicker of exhaustion crossing his eyes.

For three days, continuously guiding the fusion of Primordial Elemental Qi exhausted a great deal of Shen Yuan’s energy.

Had it not been for the continuous replenishment of Mana from the Natural Spirit Pool within the Courtyard Secret Realm and the clarifying Light of Enlightenment from the Starry Bodhi Tree, Shen Yuan might well not have been able to persevere.

“Regardless, the nascent form of the secret realm has ultimately been established—now all that’s lacking is the final touch,” he thought to himself.

With the thought, Shen Yuan slowly extended his right hand. @@novelbin@@

In his palm lay a complex interweaving of Primal Chaos Energy and Origin-purifying Xuanzhen Qi.

One contained the might of mountains, as substantial as the earth itself; the other bore the purity of the Qingxu Sky, like the celestial vault of heaven.

These two strands of the Qi of heaven and earth were precisely the clean and turbid Qi that Shen Yuan had chosen.

The Primal Chaos Energy represented not only the power of the earth but also the source of vitality for all beings within the Primal Chaos Realm—the root of the mother qi of all things.

As for the Origin-purifying Xuanzhen Qi, it originated from the Little Clarity Void Grotto Heavens, with roots that could even be traced back to the 36 Heavens of the Upper Realm, retaining a hint of the Grotto Heavens path.

Shen Yuan exhaled gently, and the two Qi quickly merged into the Square-Inch Secret Realm beyond the black hole.

Amber hues began to emerge on the barren black land, and within the former stillness now throbbed the pulse of the earth and the foundation of life.

Above the sky, where the higher Qi of Nirvana Burning Wheel spread, the Origin-purifying Xuanzhen Qi took its place above the Ninth Heavens, forming a pale cyan firmament that enveloped this world, from which Spirit Energy and air were endlessly born.

With heaven and earth set, Shen Yuan within the Courtyard Secret Realm stood up and stepped towards the profound black hole.

The space shifted, and within a moment, Shen Yuan appeared within the Secret Realm Square-Inch.

As the creator of the Secret Realm Square-Inch, Shen Yuan could distinctly sense that the realm now initially possessed the conditions necessary for sustaining life.

To use it as a small world might not be feasible, but as a secret realm, it was absolutely adequate.

“However, it’s still missing something,” he thought.

As the thought took form, Shen Yuan exhaled a wisp of cold air from his mouth.

A wisp of icy breath appeared between heaven and earth, quickly transforming into a bright, round moon that rose into the firmament, occupying a corner of the sky.

The cold moonlight sprinkled down, bringing with it a bone-chilling coldness, a sign of the Year End Freezing Weather.

With the moon in place, normally Shen Yuan should have summoned Zhuming Chengye to transform into the Great Sun, completely perfecting the Secret Realm Square-Inch.

However, compared to Zhuming Chengye, which is merely Central World Qi, Shen Yuan already had a better choice at this moment.

“Come!”

A soft Imperial Edict emanated from Shen Yuan’s mouth.

The courtyard outside the Secret Realm Square-Inch trembled slightly, and in the next moment, countless stars projected by the Starry Bodhi Tree in the courtyard descended into the Secret Realm Square-Inch as the celestial bodies.

Meanwhile, in the highest part of the Courtyard Secret Realm, a shimmering golden Great Sun also began to dim amidst the trembling.

The dimming light was diverted by an invisible hand and merged into the Courtyard Secret Realm; a resplendent Great Sun manifested within the Secret Realm Square-Inch.

With earth, water, wind, fire in place, both clean and turbid Qi separating heaven and earth, and celestial bodies in their positions, the Secret Realm Square-Inch was nearly perfected to the limit, far surpassing any ordinary grotto heavens.

If the former Secret Realm Square-Inch only had the potential to become a minor world after its creation, then now, aside from its limited size, it was truly a minor world in every sense.

Especially the Great Sun above the firmament, which was a projection from the Sun Star itself and not purely a transformation from Divine Arts, was no less inferior to the Great Suns of various worlds.

Under this projection of the Sun Star, countless great Dao laws would naturally arise, gradually perfecting this small world.

“Finally, it is complete!”

Bathed in the sunlight, Shen Yuan took a deep breath, his expression filled with excitement.

Although creating the Secret Realm Square-Inch that rivalled a minor world involved many clever tricks, it was undeniably beyond the reach of the mortal forces of the lower realms.

Even the Earth Immortals of the Upper Realm who specialized in this field could mostly only evolve grotto heavens and blessed lands, with very few able to create a minor world.

Gazing over the environment within the Secret Realm Square-Inch, one could clearly see the edge of the realm at the distant horizon.

“The only flaw seems to be that it is too narrow.”

With a single thought, the barren land rumbled and mountains sprang from the ground, concealing the horizon that could be seen at a glance.

Large swaths of mist rose from the oceans, masking the edges of the world.

As the creator of the Secret Realm Square-Inch, with the third realm of Pot’s Heaven Divine Power, Shen Yuan could effortlessly manipulate space.

Under Shen Yuan’s influence, the previously orderly space became chaotic, where a single step could potentially touch a spatial passage and be teleported to another location.

The space above the sky was sealed off, and the howling tornadoes formed by the Nirvana Burning Wheel disrupted the layers of strong winds, restricting all beings from flying into the sky.

Sealing the boundaries of heaven and earth, as well as prohibiting flying, were both meant to prevent cultivators entering the Secret Realm from noticing its narrowness.

The chaotic spatial passages were Shen Yuan’s way of increasing the difficulty for the cultivators’ trials to come.

Otherwise, with the cultivators’ strength, even in a no-flight zone and without any disturbances, they could still easily explore tens of kilometers of land.

After all this was done, Shen Yuan finally stopped his actions.

“The general framework of the secret realm has been established; what follows are some details that need to be sorted out.

For example, the form of the trials, how the trial stages should be designed, and even how to provide rewards for the trialists are all considerations for later.”

Shen Yuan murmured to himself, and as starlight flickered in his eyes, one thought after another rose from the bottom of his heart.

“However, compared to these details that can be supplemented later, there is another matter of greater importance.”

“The rules of this world are incomplete and can only accommodate Spirit Transmutation cultivators to descend. Under such circumstances, how should I draw Spirit Refining True Beings from the various great grotto heavens and blessed lands into the Secret Realm for the trials?”
