At once, he waved a hand, intending to stop it.
But Overturning Heavens Senior was faster. Streams of power crisscrossed and descended, directly enveloping Lin Xuan. The enormous disturbance was immediately confined within a ten-foot radius around him.
The ripples of power did not spread, and even the sound failed to travel outside.
"Sect Master, this is..."
The gatekeeper withdrew his hand and let out a startled cry.
"Stay calm. You and I may be about to witness a miracle."
Overturning Heavens Senior's voice rang through the gatekeeper's mind. He could even hear the suppressed excitement within it.
"The connection between the Taiyin Jiyang Immortal Scripture and this Four Directions Scripture truly runs deeper than ordinary."
Lin Xuan's heart was surging with excitement. The circulation of the Four Directions Scripture had stirred Taiyin Jiyang.
The Taiji Diagram behind him spun faster and faster, transforming into two black-and-white fish that endlessly chased and circled one another.
Countless strands of black-and-white light burst from around them, then gathered into four pillars of light standing to Lin Xuan's east, west, south, and north.
"Roots of the Four Directions!"
"They actually evolved directly!"
The gatekeeper cried out in shock, utterly dumbfounded.
The next moment, four pillars of light suddenly shot out from that special region of the four directions. Four forces of different attributes rushed toward Lin Xuan at once, landing upon the Roots of the Four Directions in an instant.
At that instant, visions began to appear around Lin Xuan—forests, gold and stone, flames, and surging waves continually manifested atop the Roots of the Four Directions.
Four different powers were being born. Then the Roots of the Four Directions unfurled, transforming into the Four Directions Great Swamp that stretched across the heavens.
The Four Directions Great Swamp resembled a miniature Four Directions Domain.
