Her body was instantly torn apart by a powerful force, and her soul was also severely damaged. In the midst of her agonizing struggle, she ultimately "died," shattering the Purple Crystal Mountain.

Senior Purple Crystal Mountain was lost in memories of the past, its voice growing increasingly low, filled with endless sorrow and bitterness. "Ever since our kin split us Purple Crystal Mountain, we have been suppressed by the highest rules, forced to live like inanimate objects despite being alive." It trembled slightly, each crack seeming to tell of the loneliness and helplessness of those long years.

Yun Xi and Zi Yue Prefecture Lord listened quietly, a profound sense of shock and sorrow welling up within them.

"Senior, no matter what, I will do my best." Yun Xi clenched her fists. "I believe I can find a way to break through to the Eternal Realm and save you."

Even if she ultimately fails to reach the Eternal Realm, she must not lose heart at this point, because only with determination can there be hope.

Looking at Yun Xi's resolute appearance, the Zi Yue Prefecture Lord felt both worried and admiring. She knew that Yun Xi was taking on a task that was almost impossible to complete, but she also understood that Yun Xi's mind was made up at this moment, and any persuasion would be futile.

"Yun Xi, I know you have a strong will, but you must understand the dangers involved. Breaking through to the Eternal Realm is a risky endeavor; the slightest mistake could lead to annihilation and eternal damnation," said the Zi Yue Prefecture Lord earnestly, his eyes filled with concern.

Yun Xi nodded and said, "Lord of the Manor, I understand the danger involved. But I cannot just watch my senior perish like this. If we don't even dare to try, that would be true cowardice."

Looking at Yun Xi, Purple Crystal Mountain was filled with emotion. It naturally knew that Yun Xi was the successor chosen by the previous Lord of the Purple Abyss Divine Realm Domain, and it also knew that Yun Xi possessed that sliver of Eternal Opportunity. Perhaps, the realm that its 'kin' had not reached, she could achieve.

That being said, it also knew the risks of breaking through to the Eternal Realm.

"Yun Xi, I appreciate your kindness. But you must consider this carefully. This is not a game; once you embark on this path, there is no turning back." Although Senior Purple Crystal Mountain hoped that Yun Xi could overcome this obstacle, he did not want her to fall into a desperate situation in order to save him.

Seeing Yun Xi's insistence, it had no choice but to say, "Since that's the case, then I'll tell you about my experience with 'sickly'."

The Purple Crystal Mountain spoke slowly, its voice carrying a sense of age and vicissitude. At this moment, faint lights flickered on its once-dull surface, as if reflecting long-forgotten memories. "In truth, my beloved was only one step away from advancing to the Eternal Realm. Although she didn't reach the true Eternal Realm, her lifespan was no longer limited..."

It was an era so distant it was almost forgotten by time, a time when the realm of gods was shrouded in chaos and strife. The 'kin' of Purple Crystal Mountain was a remarkably talented and brilliant being.

Born in the core of the Huan Yin Universe, she possessed an innate keen perception of rules and unparalleled talent. In her early childhood, she displayed cultivation talent far exceeding that of her peers, and within a few decades, she broke through realms that many cultivators could not cross in their entire lives.

As her strength continued to increase, her gaze began to turn to the legendary Eternal Realm. In order to break through this realm, she embarked on a path full of hardships and dangers. She ventured deep into the mysterious lands of the divine realm, seeking the secrets of its rules.

In that deep, ancient secret realm, she encountered various powerful divine beasts and mysterious beings, drawing strength and wisdom from them.

After countless years of accumulation and refinement, she finally ushered in an opportunity for breakthrough. By chance, she comprehended the Eternal Opportunity, and at that moment, she seemed to have touched the threshold of the Eternal Realm.

She began her seclusion, devoting herself entirely to the breakthrough. During those almost endless years, a mysterious light surrounded her body, and various Power of Rules intertwined and swirled around her.

However, fate is always unpredictable. Just as she was about to break through to the Eternal Realm, a mysterious power suddenly descended. This power was incredibly strong and terrifying, seemingly originating from the deepest recesses of the divine realm, a guardian of the rules. It relentlessly assaulted her body and soul, attempting to prevent her breakthrough.

Despite suffering such a powerful attack, she was not completely defeated thanks to her indomitable will and profound inner strength. She engaged in a breathtaking battle with this force. In this battle, although she did not successfully break through to the Eternal Realm, she found a way to bypass the lifespan limit through her deep understanding of the rules. Her life was no longer bound by time.

However, in the end, this force still managed to kill her with all its might and at any cost.

"As far as I know, that power comes from the Huan Yin Universe. The Huan Yin Universe seems to not tolerate the existence of the Eternal Realm, which is why it destroyed my mother's Eternal Path." Senior Purple Crystal Mountain's voice was filled with grief and resentment. Its huge mountain body trembled slightly, as if it was venting its resistance against fate.

As the senior from Purple Crystal Mountain recounted the story, both Yun Xi and Zi Yue Prefecture Lord fell into deep thought.

The Huan Yin Universe they inhabit is the one they live in. Now, listening to the senior from Purple Crystal Mountain, it seems more like a huge cage that binds all living beings within it. The Eternal Realm is perhaps the taboo of this cage.

The mother of the senior from Purple Crystal Mountain was already infinitely close to the Eternal Realm back then, so her breakthrough should have been a natural progression.

However, at that crucial moment, the Huan Yin Universe, like a giant hand from the depths of darkness, mercilessly crushed her hopes. This force was the Huan Yin Universe's rejection of the Eternal Realm.

"Perhaps, the Huan Yin Universe fears that the existence of the Eternal Realm will disrupt its balance," said the Zi Yue Prefecture Lord slowly, a hint of worry in her eyes.

"Those who reach the Eternal Realm possess power that transcends time and space. They can control the rules at will, which is undoubtedly a huge threat to the Huan Yin Universe."

The voice of the Zi Yue Prefecture Lord echoed in the Tranquil City space, each word carrying a heavy weight. Yun Xi frowned slightly, lost in thought.

"No, this is actually the final hurdle to overcome in order to break through to the Eternal Realm. One must possess power that transcends the universe and not be destroyed by it. Otherwise, how can one transcend the universe and become a true Eternal Existence?" Purple Crystal Mountain said slowly, its voice like a deep rumble of thunder, carrying an undeniable majesty.
