186: Chaos

“The ambition of the Ascension Palace is already clear!”

“But the Ascension Palace is, after all, a Human Race force. How dare they let the Demon Race into our Human Race territory!”

Xuan Yin sat in her seat, her expression changing repeatedly. Although she knew the Ascension Palace had immense ambition, she still found it hard to believe they would go to such lengths.

Xu Qi'an blinked, deep in thought.

The destruction of the Reverse Immortal Alliance was inseparable from the Ascension Palace because the Forbidden artistic conception would consume the world's Origin.

But in reality, the Ascension Palace itself was also researching the three great Concepts.

Xu Qi'an had already gained a clue from this: the Ascension Palace might want to create the Chaos Profound Realm!

And then elevate the Chaos Profound Realm to the Chaos Law level, thereby replenishing the world's Origin?

Although this was unfair to the Cultivators in this world who practiced the Forbidden artistic conception, it was quite beneficial for the world itself.

However, now the Ascension Palace has not only broken the Ancient Demon Seal of the Xuanhe Star Territory but also released the Demon Race from the Profound Abyss Realm through the primordial Chaos spiritual treasure Xuanling Descending Platform, slaughtering Human Race Cultivators and attempting to wipe out the Seven Great Sects. Are they not afraid of bringing disaster upon themselves?

The Ascension Palace did not exist from ancient times but suddenly emerged tens of thousands of years ago during the chaotic wars of the Five Domains.

Because the Seven Great Sects were weakened by war, and Cultivators who practiced Forbidden artistic conception and even Law consumed the world's Origin, with the Demon Race rampant and the Beast Race invading, the Ascension Palace was able to rise rapidly!

This was the information Xu Qi'an obtained from the Yang Sect's archives.

Therefore, the appearance of the Ascension Palace was very coincidental, and the appearance of Mo Qianjie was even more suspicious.

“The Ascension Palace is probably brewing something!”

“This matter will likely greatly enhance the strength of the Ascension Palace—no, it should be said, Mo Qianjie's strength!”

“Even to the point of not fearing the Demon Race!”

“But now, the emergence of the Seven Great Sects will pose a considerable danger to him, so the Ascension Palace is using the Demon Race to eliminate the Seven Great Sects.”

Xu Qi'an couldn't help but think of this possibility.

Immediately after, he looked at the others and said, “There’s no point in talking more. Many Demon Race members are still slaughtering Human Race Cultivators in the Weiyang Star Region, and the various Elders of the Seven Great Sects are still resisting the Ancient Demon at the border of the Weiyang Star Region. We cannot sit idly by.”

Xuan Yin remained silent after hearing this, then sighed deeply.

“I naturally know what the Saint said, but as you can see, we have already exhausted all our efforts just to resist the approaching Demon Race.”

“If it weren't for the Saint's rescue, we would have fallen into the hands of the Demon Race long ago. Now, this old woman only wishes to protect the Saintess!”

“I dare not think of anything else!”

Xu Qi'an was thoughtful; he naturally knew this too.

But the Seven Great Sects were not monolithic. If he could save some of the Sect's Cultivators now, perhaps they could unite the strength of the various Sect Cultivators to fight against the Ascension Palace!

“Senior Xuan Yin, rest assured, I, Xu Qi'an, am not a reckless person. There is a reason for everything I do,” Xu Qi'an nodded and said.

“But now that the Yin Sect's great array has been destroyed, it might not be appropriate for Yin Sect Cultivators to remain here.”

“If the Demon Race notices this side and attacks again, there might not be just one Amoru!”

“So if you truly care for Ning Sui's safety, staying in the Yin Sect is unsafe.”

“If Elder Xuan Yin needs it, I can take all the Yin Sect Cultivators with me.”

Xuan Yin was silent for a moment, then said, “There's no need to trouble the Saint. The Yin Sect is indeed unsafe now, and we do need to leave. I also have a Space Spirit Treasure that can take everyone...”

Xuan Yin was about to continue speaking when she was interrupted by Ning Sui.

“Elder Xuan Yin, let's listen to my Master now!”

“After all, Master's cultivation is the highest here right now, so it's better to listen to Master!”

Xuan Yin was stunned for a moment, then nodded in affirmation.

“As the Saintess commands!”

Seeing this, Xu Qi'an decided not to say more; he had more urgent matters.

With the Demon Race invading, he would inevitably encounter some powerful Ancient Demon. Strength was the most important thing.

Xu Qi'an immediately took Ning Sui to a pavilion, then entered the Time Crystal Stone Space.

As for Xuan Yin and the others, they went to gather all the Yin Sect Cultivators.

Inside the Time Crystal Stone Space.

Xu Qi'an's eyes burned with a smile as he said, “Sui'er, do you still remember the favor I needed you to help with?”

Ning Sui immediately nodded in affirmation. She remembered very clearly that, to a large extent, she came to the Yin Sect to help her Master.

“Master, I naturally remember that.”

“So, what is the favor I need to help with?”

Ning Sui asked with expectant eyes.

Xu Qi'an smiled, “Your Yin Concept!”

“I plan to comprehend a new Concept.”

“This Concept is called Chaos!”

“Chaos?!” Ning Sui's small face immediately filled with curiosity.

Xu Qi'an slowly nodded: “Without further ado, let's begin!”

He then took out a spherical object containing a black mass.

“This is the embryonic form of the Chaos Profound Realm. It contains the Fusion of three great Concepts: Time Domain, Space Intent, and Reincarnation Concept.”

“These are what we call the three great Forbidden artistic conceptions!”

Upon hearing this, Ning Sui's eyes were filled with shock: “The three great Forbidden artistic conceptions can actually fuse?”

Xu Qi'an continued, “The Dao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things!”

“I believe this Dao is the combination of Space, Time, and Reincarnation!”

“With Space, the world has vast landscapes for Cultivators to explore; with Time, the world can trace back to ancient times, allowing for development and progress; and with Reincarnation, there is life and death, bringing balance and order to the world.”

Therefore, Time, Space, and Reincarnation are the primary elements that constitute the world. Their Fusion forms the embryonic form of Chaos, but these alone are not enough!”

“The world also needs Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, and even all things!”

“So I speculate that for the embryonic form of the Chaos Profound Realm to continue to perfect itself, it also needs the Yin and Yang Concept and the Five Elements Intention!”

“Coincidentally, I have already mastered the Yang Laws and the Five Elements Intention!”

“I only need your Yin Concept to truly test my Chaos Profound Realm Concept!”

Ning Sui was filled with surprise upon hearing this. She didn't know how her Master managed to fuse the three great Forbidden artistic conceptions, nor how her Master could have such a clear Concept.

But the only thing she knew was that she was very happy for Xu Qi'an in her heart.

“Then let's not delay, Master, let's start quickly!”

“I also want to see this Chaos Profound Realm!”

Xu Qi'an hummed, then instructed, “Yin and Yang both belong to extreme categories, but their intermingling requires balance. We can inject the Yin and Yang Concept a bit slower to observe the reaction.”

Ning Sui nodded, then placed one hand above the spherical object, and Xu Qi'an also extended a hand to place it above.

“Release the Concept!”

Immediately, two Concept energies, one gold and one white, transformed into a Yin and Yang disk and flowed into it.

The black mass within the sphere immediately stirred, shaking violently, but then, as if it had accepted the injected Yin and Yang energy, it immediately stabilized and offered no resistance at all.

“Indeed!” Xu Qi'an was overjoyed.

He still remembered the repulsive reaction of the Chaos Profound Realm the first time he injected the lightning Concept.

“Maintain this!”

This continued for the duration of a tea ceremony, but Ning Sui was subtly beginning to struggle.

Her face was somewhat pale, and cold sweat beaded on her forehead.

“Sui'er, can you still hold on?” Xu Qi'an asked with concern upon seeing this.

Ning Sui gritted her teeth, then showed a determined expression: “Don't worry, Master, I can still hold on!”

Xu Qi'an hummed.

Another tea ceremony's time passed.

The embryonic form of the Chaos Profound Realm finally began to fuse with the Yin and Yang Concept injected by the two of them!

In an instant, the Yin and Yang Concept successfully fused with the embryonic form of the Chaos Profound Realm!

Upon seeing this, Ning Sui finally let out a long breath, then collapsed.

Xu Qi'an quickly supported her body, and seeing Ning Sui's weak appearance, he couldn't help but sigh slightly.

“This girl, she pushes herself too hard!”

He patted his Storage Pouch, took out a Medicinal Pill exuding a rich medicinal fragrance, and put it into her mouth. Then he waved his hand, summoned a few soul slaves, and sent Ning Sui into a quiet room.

Immediately after, Xu Qi'an looked at the spherical object in his hand, his face revealing unconcealed joy.

“The Chaos Profound Realm is finally about to be complete!”

“Next, I just need to inject the Five Elements Intention!”

He then narrowed his eyes and began to inject the Five Elements Intention.

The five-colored light transformed from the Five Elements Intention then fell into it.

This time, the black mass within the sphere showed no resistance at all and began to greedily absorb the Five Elements Intention.

An hour later.

The black mass within the sphere completely changed color, transforming into a constantly shifting luminous mass.

From white to black, then to the two colors of Yin and Yang, and then to the five colors, constantly changing, as if the world itself was evolving.

“The Chaos Profound Realm is complete!”
