The myth begins with the Lotus Lantern

Chapter 359 Realm
Princess Iron Fan was newly entered Taiyi and was full of vigor. For a moment, her ambitions swelled, but she was quickly brought back to reality. After the Big Dipper Star Lord and the Southern Dipper Star Lord unleashed the Taiyi Dao Laws, their auras were still far superior to hers, even suppressing her aura to the point that it could only be seen a few dozen feet away.

Her instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm made her want to escape immediately.

Reason restrained the instinctive impulse.

Immediately, Princess Iron Fan sensed that although the Big Dipper and the Southern Dipper possessed powerful auras, the core of the two Taiyi Dao principles they manifested were merely ordinary high-level laws. They might be stronger than her as the foundational Samadhi True Fire, but ultimately there was no fundamental difference between them, and they remained at the same level.

Princess Iron Fan felt a little more at ease. She was still on the same level and could maneuver around them. Besides, she wasn't alone, and Ding Lin only needed her to buy him a moment's time.

Upon realizing this, most of the shock subsided.

My mind is becoming increasingly clear.

In fact, even if Ding Lin didn't make a move, Princess Iron Fan, being a Taiyi cultivator, would definitely be severely injured and defeated if she faced the Big Dipper and the Southern Dipper alone. However, if she only wanted to escape, she would still have a chance.

This is only because she is a newly promoted Taiyi.

The further one progresses in spiritual practice, the easier it becomes to distinguish between those at the same level, and the more difficult it is to determine life and death.

"Big Dipper, Southern Dipper, what are you trying to do!"

"Stop right now!"

"This is going to disrupt the established pattern!"

Within his divine sense, several mighty voices resounded.

Princess Iron Fan dispersed her thoughts and instantly pinpointed the source of these voices. Without exception, they all came from Taiyi, who belonged to the Heavenly Court's camp within the Five Elements Mountain Realm.

One of them had fiery red hair and a fiery personality, and couldn't contain himself any longer, so he stood up.

As for the several Buddhist bodhisattvas further away, although they remained seated on their lotus thrones and did not utter a sound, their eyes still flashed with displeasure.

Clearly, the Big Dipper Star Lord and the Southern Dipper Star Lord have incurred the wrath of the masses.

Princess Iron Fan felt increasingly at ease, as if everything was turning out for the better.

The two paths then fell.

Princess Iron Fan channeled her magic, and the fiery line swirling around her was about to meet the attack.

Suddenly, the situation changed drastically.

The imagined attack didn't actually land, but a bad feeling suddenly arose in my mind.

Life and death.

The two Taiyi Dao paths became entangled.

The next moment, unable to contain it any longer, an immense fear rose from my heart, a tremor that originated from the depths of my soul!
Unrivaled!

unstoppable!

possible……

Do not!
I am definitely going to die!

Princess Iron Fan didn't hesitate any longer. Her spiritual senses were frantically warning her. Her escape light soared up, and the line of fire formed by the Dao Law swept across the sky, covering Ding Lin and Princess Jade Face. She wanted to escape, but the surrounding air suddenly became muddy. The escape light, which could have traveled thousands of miles in an instant, suddenly stopped and made it difficult to move.

This is……

"Realm?"

In his mind, the fiery Taiyi who had stood up had sat down again. On the other hand, a Taiyi who had not paid much attention and had just gone with the flow couldn't help but speak up.

The eyes of the several Venerable Taiyi of the Heavenly Court changed instantly, filled with apprehension and jealousy, but they no longer had any intention of taking action and simply watched from the sidelines.

Closer to Wuzhi Mountain, several Buddhist bodhisattvas were meditating, their eyes fixed on their noses and their noses on their hearts, their countenances solemn and dignified, seemingly practicing Zen, unmoved by external things.

Ultimately, since it was none of his business, and seeing the combined might of the Southern Dipper Star Lord and the Northern Dipper Star Lord, he naturally remained indifferent. As for how to compile a memorial afterward, that was another matter entirely.

Princess Iron Fan's heart sank to the bottom. Her own clan had Taiyi, so she naturally understood the boundaries. Immortal cultivators were valued for achieving the Cave Heaven realm, called Celestial Immortals, but ultimately lacked the support of laws, their existence as fleeting as a dream, a mere illusion.

Only by truly achieving the status of a Golden Immortal can one's grotto-heaven be completely stabilized.

Upon reaching the Taiyi realm, multiple laws exist within the grotto-heaven, and these laws intertwine to form their own Dao and principles.

The grotto-heaven then evolved into a smaller world.

However, this step is extremely difficult. Usually, it takes until a cultivator attains the fruition position and the cave dweller can fully sublimate and completely transform, becoming known as the Taiyi Golden Immortal.

After the Golden Immortal and before the Taiyi Golden Immortal, there is another realm: Taiyi Scattered Numbers.

Usually at this level, the cave heaven is already supported by the Taiyi Dao Law and begins to transform, but because the accumulation is not enough, it can only be considered as half of the transformation.

Located in a narrow crevice, it was called the Great Cave Heaven.

This is merely a transitional stage.

In ancient times, this realm did not exist. At that time, the world had just been created and the Great Dao had been revealed. It was hundreds of times easier to comprehend the various laws than it is now. However, the methods of cultivation were not well-known and the inheritance was scarce. Cultivators relied entirely on their own comprehension. Often, they would accumulate enough intermediate laws but would be unable to comprehend the relevant advanced laws. This is why they were blocked before Taiyi. In other words, once an advanced law was comprehended, Taiyi was achieved. At that time, after Golden Immortal, one would directly become a Taiyi Golden Immortal.

The inner world of a Taiyi Golden Immortal has been completely transformed into a small world, possessing incredible power.

The ability to radiate from a small world into reality, forming a 'realm', is one of the most easily manifested of these many powers.

The Great Grotto Heaven can also reflect reality. With the sweeping power of the Taiyi Dao Principles, it is enough to suppress all Golden Immortals, but the 'realm' usually cannot be manifested.

But that's just the usual way.

In one instance, cultivators can manifest their realm in advance when they are in a Great Grotto-Heaven.

That is to condense the Taiyi Dao Principles based on the top-level laws. When the Taiyi Dao Principles are revealed, the realm will be shown. In essence, this is to reveal the characteristics of the small world in advance with a powerful foundation.

Under the command of the Ziwei Emperor, the Northern Dipper Star Lord and the Southern Dipper Star Lord have always been at odds, a fact known to all the gods of the Three Realms.

No one would have expected that they could join forces to launch such a strike.

But upon closer reflection, the Southern Dipper governs life and the Northern Dipper governs death; the cycle of life and death is a fundamental principle of the universe, and there are traces to follow. It's just that they've concealed it so well that the gods have never considered this possibility until they see it today.

This is also the reason why the Big Dipper Star Lord and the Southern Dipper Star Lord still insisted on taking action despite seeing that the situation was already difficult. They are both Taiyi scattered numbers, so defeating them is easy, but killing them is difficult. The reason is that they are similar in nature. However, the Taiyi Dao Law, which is forged with the top law as its core, has already created a gap in nature with its attack and has the conditions to kill them.

It sounds complicated, but in the Taiyi realm, a thousand thoughts can be condensed in an instant, and a single breath contains countless moments.

The entanglement of life and death manifested in the air as a jade disc, only missing a piece.

The cycle of birth and death is imperfect, and this is called reincarnation.

The simple laws of life and death are merely the beginning of the realm of top-level laws. If the cycle of reincarnation is also completed, what is manifested is the Wheel of Reincarnation, which is no less than the complete laws of Yin and Yang.

Princess Iron Fan had no more hope. Seeing that she could not escape, a resolute look suddenly appeared in her eyes. She turned around abruptly, and the line of fire that swirled around her flew out. At the same time, a flash of light appeared in her palm, and the banana leaf fan was already in her hand. With a fierce swing, the fire, aided by the wind, expanded and transformed into a ferocious fire dragon, pushing its power to the extreme.

In fact, Princess Iron Fan had already mastered the Samadhi Divine Wind, but she had not yet been able to combine wind and fire. However, judging from this attack, she already had a plan for the future.

The fire dragon crashed into the jade plate, instantly turning the sky red.

The next moment, a hoarse, mournful cry rang out.

A colorful rain of fire fell.

The fire dragon was torn to shreds!

With this as a sacrificial offering, the Star Lords of the Big Dipper and the Star Lords of the Southern Dipper joined forces, and the new Taiyi Dao Law was finally completed. With life and death as its core, half of it was filled with darkness and death, and the other half was lush and vibrant with life. This strange jade plate was displayed, and with a slight tremor, the remaining fire in the air was completely swept away.

The next moment, the jade plate flew down.

Princess Iron Fan sniffed lightly, seemingly smelling the scent of death, but how could she willingly accept her fate? She waved her banana leaf fan repeatedly, disregarding her origin, and with the help of this magic weapon that shared the same origin as the Taiyi Dao Principle, three fire dragons flew out in succession. Her face turned deathly pale, but each fire dragon struck the jade plate, only causing a slight tremor before slowly and steadily pressing down.
