But at the very last moment.
Black Bull still withdrew the arcane power from its hoof. A trace of desolation filled its eyes; in recent years, it had always been gripped by a sense of dread.
No news had come from Chen Xun. It was as though he had vanished.
Some things were not suitable to tell Third Sister. It wanted to find Little Scarlet and talk, but letting it enter the Mortal Realm now would likely cut off Little Scarlet's path to survival.
Black Bull gazed at the Divine Soul Realm, its expression gradually settling into calmness.
Half a day later.
It left this place.
Black Bull once again buried itself in busyness—setting formations, cultivating, waiting...
With an azure lamp and ancient scrolls as companions in cultivation, a thousand years passed before it knew it. Looking again upon the Mortal Realm as spring gave way to autumn, it found itself detached from the world before it realized it.
The seven great Heaven-and-Earth Sublimations unfolded in parallel.
The Three Thousand Great Worlds were officially renamed the Three Thousand Immortal Domains.
The Boundless Great World became the Boundless Immortal Domain, the Taiyi Great World became the Supreme Unity Immortal Domain, the Primordial Great World became the Primordial Beginning Immortal Domain...
The Three Thousand Immortal Domains encircled and guarded the Boundless Immortal Domain, and cultivators had already begun calling it the Central Immortal Domain.
At the center of heaven and earth stood an Immortal Domain in the golden zenith of flourishing Immortal Dao. Billions upon billions of cultivators gathered here, as did billions upon billions of factions.
The Boundless Immortal Domain of today no longer held any mortal beings. Its mountains, rivers, and great lands had grown so majestic they could shake heaven and earth, while myriad Daos contended in chorus.
