Youyou hadn't expected that this suddenly appearing world wasn't an invasion or an attack from another dimension, but a new realm derived from the origin, inherently connected to the Six Realms. The cracks were caused by this suddenly born world, and now it seemed that resolving them wouldn't be difficult; they could simply merge with the original world.
All living beings in the Immortal Realm originally belonged to the Six Realms, so there is naturally no problem for them to return now.
However, after so many years of development, the number of beings in the Immortal Realm has become enormous. If they were all taken back, it would inevitably cause a wave of turmoil. Putting aside whether there would be any conflicts, trouble would be unavoidable.
Therefore, she decided not only to bring back the living beings, but to directly pull the entire Immortal Realm back into the Six Realms, making them an additional realm outside the Six Realms, and to set up some boundaries, and then slowly establish connections with the other realms.
Once this realm is completely integrated and the six realms have accepted its existence, then those boundaries will be removed.
As for the cracks in the Six Realms, they only appeared because the original source wanted to return and the Immortal Realm forcibly squeezed in. They will naturally disappear after merging into the Seven Realms.
After discussing with Feng Rong and Yuan Qi, You You withdrew from the current illusion and returned to Jingling Courtyard. The young ladies in the courtyard couldn't withstand the illusion of the source and had already fainted at the beginning.
She woke them up and decided to talk to them. She didn't mention the matter of the origin, but briefly explained that a great change was about to occur in the world, and that they should prepare. She also informed all those who had reached the Earth Immortal level or above to prepare for their upcoming ascension.
That's right. Since they are to merge, then both the complete cycle of the River of Oblivion and the rules of the Heavenly and Demonic Paths will descend and perfect this world. Putting aside other places, just the fact that so many people in the Respectful Spirit Academy have reached the Immortal Realm of cultivation will surely be detected by the Heavenly Dao, and then they will be tempered by lightning tribulations to become immortal bones and ascend to the Immortal Realm.
This world originally had no Heavenly Dao, so even if one's cultivation level broke through, there was no need to undergo tribulation by lightning, and naturally, no one possessed an immortal body. The cultivators of that era, although they had cultivated to become true gods and possessed divine status, ultimately could not escape the fate of perishing, precisely because they lacked divine bodies, not even immortal bodies.
The tribulation lightning sent down by Heaven is not only a test for cultivators, but more importantly, it helps them temper their physical bodies. In particular, the tribulation lightning of ascension not only shatters the spiritual body, but also forges immortal bones with immortal power, thus enabling one to become an immortal and achieve godhood.
This world has no tribulations of lightning, nor the power of immortals and gods, so even if one's magic is extremely powerful, one is still merely a spirit. Although one can live longer than ordinary people, there are naturally limits to it.
If it were connected to the Six Realms, the laws of the world would enter this world immediately. Not to mention other cultivators, just the immortals of the Jingling Academy would be struck by the belated tribulation countless times.
“Xiao You doesn’t need to worry about the tribulation.” Yuan Qi suddenly said, “This world is special and cannot be treated in the usual way. So I will adjust the rules appropriately in the short term. Although the tribulation lightning will come, it will not be as severe as in the mortal world. As long as you are not a great villain, you should be able to get through it safely.”
Tribulation lightning is always a fixed number, nine times nine is essential; otherwise, the purpose of refining one's constitution cannot be achieved. However, the timing of its descent can be delayed, for example, three strikes every five days, or two strikes every three days, striking gradually. As long as one's comprehension isn't too poor, there shouldn't be any problems. Of course, in this world, those with poor comprehension cannot possibly cultivate into immortals.
"Alright!" You You was delighted. This way, there would be no problem with the transition. After all, this world had just merged with the Six Realms. If a batch of people were struck dead by lightning at the beginning, the cultivators would inevitably develop a shadow and aversion towards the Six Realms. Although most people might not know the truth, no one could be sure that there would be any clever people who would cause trouble and make things even more complicated.
Yuan Qi's ability to adjust the rules is tantamount to giving the world a buffer period.
Youyou discussed the things to pay attention to with the head of the academy and also left some common sense methods for dealing with ascension tribulations.
The people of Keirei-in didn't quite understand what she meant, but they knew that something big was about to happen in this world. Although they still had some doubts, they carefully wrote it down and began to prepare.
Youyou didn't linger. Since the Six Realms and the Immortal Realm were to be merged into one, the sooner the better. Whether it was because their origins had already been recovered into Feng Rong or not, the three of them left very smoothly, returning to the Six Realms in the blink of an eye.
Youyou immediately went to the source of the River of Oblivion in the Underworld, which is the true origin of the Six Realms. To merge the Immortal Realm with the Six Realms, the only way is to control the origin.
The three of them stood under the black night sky again, above which a huge golden tree was perched in the air, its countless thin branches connecting the entire six realms.
Youyou closed her eyes, and the situation of the Six Realms appeared in her mind. She focused her attention on the rift between the Six Realms. Sure enough, she instantly sensed a large group of familiar beings. With a thought, she released all her power, sending it into the world trapped in the rift, forcefully pulling it out.
In an instant, the entire Six Realms trembled. The areas that originally belonged to the God Realm and the Demon Realm were being pushed aside to both sides. The rift between the Immortal and Mortal Realms was widening, and the tree formed by the River of Oblivion seemed to have been suddenly stretched taller, growing a long section. A new world appeared below the Immortal Realm, standing alongside the Mortal and Demon Realms—the newly born Immortal Spirit Realm.
Unlike other realms connected by the golden source, the newly born realm appeared extremely dim, like land that had lost its nutrients. The traces of the source on it were so dark that they seemed to be disappearing, because they had taken away that part of the source.
However, it was already connected to the Six Realms, and the immense primordial power of the Six Realms would completely take over this world. Sure enough, the next moment, those golden branches, like a vast net, flowed into the newly born Immortal Realm in an instant, and in no time, they relit this world.
You You breathed a sigh of relief. Over the years, the Immortal Realm had relied entirely on the portion of its original essence that she had forcibly summoned back then, and it had been isolated from other realms. Over time, this original essence would slowly be consumed. You could tell from the fact that its original essence had been reduced to just a small sphere. If it hadn't returned to the Six Realms any later, this portion of its original essence would eventually disappear along with this realm. Therefore, merging was imperative, and thankfully, she had made it in time.
