Spatial Interconnection Begins, Spirit Charm Cultivators Form Alliance

The Spirit Race's research into the interconnection crystals achieved a breakthrough half a month later. Leading Spirit Race scholars, Ling Xi analyzed the spatial runes on the crystals and combined them with the ancient spatial arts recorded in the Origin Secret Record, successfully deciphering the coordinates of the first friendly space—"Spirit Resonance Space." According to the runes' feedback, this space was centered around the "Spirit Resonance Origin." Its cultivators specialized in using Spirit Resonance Power to strengthen spells and perception, and its origin traits were highly complementary to the mortal realm's life and soul-suppressing origins, making it the perfect first partner for cross-space fusion.

The Alliance of Myriad Arts immediately constructed a "Spatial Interconnection Array" beside the Origin Rift. Stone Race craftsmen forged the array foundation from ores containing Earth Vein and Chaos origins, ensuring the formation's stability; Lin Xiaohu embedded the Soul Suppressing Seal into the array eye, using Soul Suppressing Power to block interference from spatial fluctuations; meanwhile, Su Muxue led Spirit Race cultivators in injecting the coordinates of Spirit Resonance Space into the interconnection crystal, using them as the "key" to activate the formation.

Standing at the center of the formation, Chen Fan held an interconnection crystal fused with fragments of the Symbiosis Core. The aura of the Myriad Arts Origin Realm slowly radiated from his body—after being tempered in the Origin Mystic Realm, he had already begun to touch upon the threshold of the "Myriad Arts Origin Realm," barely able to control Origin Resonance across space. "Everyone, be alert! If spatial disorder occurs once the formation is activated, immediately inject your own fusion power into the array foundation and help stabilize the space!"

As Chen Fan poured the Power of Myriad Arts into the crystal, the interconnection crystal erupted with a pale blue Spirit Resonance radiance, resonating with the runes of the Spatial Interconnection Array. The Soul Suppressing Seal at the array eye lit up in response, its pale violet Soul Suppressing Power intertwining with the Spirit Resonance glow to form a pale blue spatial passage at the center of the formation. At the other end of the passage, the scene of Spirit Resonance Space could vaguely be seen: every blade of grass and tree shone with Spirit Resonance light, semi-transparent "Spirit Resonance cloud clusters" floated in the sky, and several cultivators dressed in Spirit Resonance robes were watching the passage warily.

"Success! We've opened a passage to Spirit Resonance Space!" Ling Xi cried excitedly, and the Spirit Race cultivators all revealed gratified smiles.

But at that moment, the spatial passage suddenly shook violently. Its pale blue light began to distort, and black spatial fissures even appeared along its edges—the Spirit Resonance Origin of Spirit Resonance Space and the mortal realm's origins had produced a fierce repulsive reaction, triggering "spatial disorder." Cracks began to form in the ores at the array foundation, while the Soul Suppressing Seal's light dimmed. If they failed to stabilize it in time, the passage would likely collapse completely and could even cause a greater spatial disaster.

"This is bad! Spatial disorder caused by origin rejection!" Su Muxue's expression changed sharply. She immediately mobilized the Spirit Resonance Power of the Spirit Race cultivators, attempting to neutralize the repulsive reaction. "Chen Fan, use the power of the Symbiosis Core, quickly! Only it can reconcile an origin conflict across space!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Fan completely fused the Power of Myriad Arts within him with the power of the Symbiosis Core fragments, forming a pale golden "Symbiotic Light Shield" that he injected into the spatial passage. The pale golden light instantly covered the passage. The distorted Spirit Resonance glow gradually stabilized, and the black spatial fissures began to heal. He could clearly feel that the mortal realm's life and soul-suppressing origins, along with the Spirit Resonance Origin of Spirit Resonance Space, were slowly beginning to resonate under the mediation of the Symbiotic Light Shield, and the repulsive reaction gradually vanished.

Seeing this, the vigilance in the eyes of the Spirit Resonance cultivators at the other end of the passage gradually faded. The white-haired elder leading them—the "Spirit Resonance Elder" of Spirit Resonance Space—held a Spirit Resonance wooden staff and cupped his hands toward the passage. "Many thanks, fellow Daoists, for stabilizing the space! I am the Spirit Resonance Elder of Spirit Resonance Space. May I ask which space you hail from, and why you have opened a passage to my people's space?"

Chen Fan returned the gesture, his voice traveling through the spatial passage. "I am Chen Fan of the Alliance of Myriad Arts in the mortal realm. The mortal realm has only recently endured a crisis of extraterritorial erosion. By chance, we discovered clues regarding ancient spatial interconnection and learned that Spirit Resonance Space was a friendly space. That is why we activated this passage, hoping to establish cooperation with your space and jointly explore the path of fusing Myriad Arts across space."

A flicker of surprise crossed the Spirit Resonance Elder's eyes. "Extraterritorial erosion? Our people have also encountered a similar crisis! It seems different spaces face a common threat. If the mortal realm truly wishes to cooperate, I can lead several elders to the mortal realm to discuss the details of our cooperation."

"That couldn't be better!" Chen Fan was overjoyed. He immediately expanded the spatial passage, allowing the Spirit Resonance Elder and four Spirit Resonance cultivators to pass through safely and enter the mortal realm.

The moment the Spirit Resonance cultivators stepped into the mortal realm, they were drawn in by the scene of Myriad Arts fusion all around them: Human Race and Demon Race cultivators cultivated the "Vitality-Spirit Resonance Fusion Art" together; Stone Race cultivators used Earth Vein Power to support the Spirit Resonance arts of Spirit Race cultivators; and soul-suppressing cultivators used Soul Suppressing Power to help cultivators of every race steady their minds. The Spirit Resonance Elder could not help but sigh. "The mortal realm's fusion of Myriad Arts has actually reached such a level! Though our people excel in Spirit Resonance Power, we never imagined fusing so deeply with other origins. For our people, this too is an entirely new revelation."
