Fire Overcomes Metal, Water Drains Metal, the Divine True Realm

The primordial light of Xuanhuang converged, creating a series of scenes tracing back to the source.

The Purple Gold Heavenly Palace is in ruins, filled with countless weapons and malevolent energy, giving rise to images of swords striking down the Heavenly Palace.

"So it was because of the Heavenly River?"

Then the Xuanhuang Immortal Light continued to rotate and trace upwards. Soon he saw Wang An kill the Winged Dragon and gather the Dreamlike Labyrinth Realm. Before that, there was a white mist and golden swords clashing.

"It actually involves beings of the same level."

Going back to this point, the True Lord of Earth Virtue's previously relaxed expression instantly turned serious.

Watching the two opposing forces, a thousand thoughts raced through my mind.

"That white light possesses the [Moon Law] principle, so it should be the fellow cultivator Shelter the Heavenly River. As for the familiarity of this golden artifact, it seems to be a scheme orchestrated by someone in our celestial realm."

"And it also involves the imagery of the earthen path, so it seems they're after me."

Without much deduction, True Lord of Earth Virtue knew that this was very likely a scheme by someone in the Geng Metal Western Heaven.

As for why it wasn't the White Tiger, one of the Four Symbols also located in the Western Continent, it's because the Four Symbols, as the four pillars of heaven, bear the heavy responsibility of maintaining the balance of heaven and earth. As long as they remain in that position, there will be a continuous flow of Heavenly Merit, so there's no need to do any other calculations.

In the current metal element system, Geng Metal is the primary element, with Xin metal as a secondary element. The broken Lingbao sword was probably the work of the Geng Metal Sword Master.

Thinking of this, [True Lord of Earth Virtue] summoned a jade seal shaped like a mountain and slammed it into the Xuanhuang Immortal Light.

At this moment, the celestial light shifted past the fog of the battle between equals and returned to the time before Wang An was attacked. A pterosaur in the form of a dreamlike fog took out the tip of a spiritual treasure sword. The murderous aura of weapons instantly shattered the salty yellow, revealing a scene of bright light.

"As I thought, Geng Metal Sword Master, are you sure you want to be my enemy?"

[True Lord of Earth Virtue] gazed at the wisp of spiritual weaponry and murderous aura shooting towards the Xuanhuang Immortal Light, his eyes lost in thought.

Wang An has a preliminary approach to Repair the Golden Nature of the [Rooftop Earth] element.

[Heavenly Fire] The Golden Nature manifests as the image of the Supreme Yin Fire, scorching that metal artifact.

This is the principle of fire overcoming metal.

Instead of taking the legitimate path of high-temperature refining in a furnace, it ignites a smoldering fire inside the gold artifact, destroying its structure from the inside out and undermining its foundation.

Then, the Heavenly River Water, Golden Nature, transformed into a continuous drizzle that thoroughly soaked the goldware.

"This is the method of using water to drain metal."

By taking such a multi-pronged approach, not only was the generation of metal from earth stopped, and the imagery of metal attacking the Heavenly Palace fostered, but the environment upon which metal artifacts depended for survival was gradually undermined.

Outwardly, swords hung under the eaves, exposed to wind, rain, Supreme Yin's rays, would become rusty, decayed, and useless.

Soon, this imagery of dealing with the calamity of gold artifacts resolved part of the crisis facing the spiritual structures near the weapons of war.

However, this is only a superficial and passive form of resistance.

Just as a war caused by one's own hidden gold can be eliminated, a sudden attack by man-made gold is difficult to resist.

On the contrary, one can foresee that this imagery will stay with them for a long time.

Only when these strange phenomena are completely banished, and when the Heavenly Palace is solidified, can things be fully restored.

Of course, Wang An wouldn't sit idly by and wait for his fate. The most direct way to eliminate the problem was for him to refine the Golden Nature of [Sword Edge Metal].

However, if one wants to condense this Golden Nature, it would be best to go to the Geng Metal Western Continent. But judging from the golden path to which the tip of this spiritual treasure sword belongs, the hostility there towards him, or rather, towards the [Zhongzhi Yellow Heaven True Lord of Earth Virtue] standing behind him, has reached its peak.

Wang An even speculated that the master of the Geng Metal Dao might be using this as a rehearsal, a practice run-up.

It is indeed necessary for the two sides to clash and test each other in order to accurately estimate their approximate levels of skill.

Therefore, he definitely couldn't go to the Geng Metal Western Continent. Wang An wasn't so stubborn as to openly go to the rule of that True Lord, just in case someone was Shelter him and couldn't do anything to him.

"We can look into the other realms to see if there are any suitable places for cultivation."

With that, this matter has finally come to an end.

Afterwards, Wang An instructed Lu Tianxin and Spirit Radiance to inquire and collect information on whether there were suitable weapon forging pools or battlefields in other open six-dimensional realms that embodied the imagery of "Autumn Emperor's Solemn Edge, Hundred-Forged Azure Steel".

Lu Tianxin finally breathed a sigh of relief after receiving Wang An.

She had witnessed the terrifying tip of that magical sword, which nearly destroyed the entire Purple Gold Heavenly Palace, even causing her master's Avatar to be destroyed and reborn.

Of course, he was unaware that [Light-Riding Ritual Master] had appeared to handle the situation, but he guessed that his master must have other countermeasures, which is why he was able to successfully kill the besieging opponents.

Therefore, Lu Tianxin relaxed at this moment and sent Wang An a list of information he had received from other realms over the years, as well as a thank-you gift for the help he had just given to the four types of human races.

Wang An read carefully and soon had an idea.

Currently, the Thirteen Heavenly Realms the Ancient Church of Truth Seeking, as the largest upward phenomenon in the entire Milky Way, occupy Sparse Star Domain spanning nearly a thousand light-years.

Among them, the seven major realms of the Mortal Fetus Astral Realm, Yama Ghost Nether Realm, Divine True Realm, Ancient Immortal Heavenly Realm, Void Beast Space Realm, Fungus Demon Mist Realm, and Machinery Matter Realm are all open.

In addition, there are six other realms that are still extremely illusory and have not yet been opened to the public. No items have been found spewed from these six realms so far.

There are only two places that are most suitable for Wang An to cultivate the [Sword Edge Metal] Golden Nature now.

The entire world is governed by the Divine True Realm of the Authority True God System and the Machinery Matter Realm, which is dominated by Mechanical Modification System.

Ultimately, the only suitable option is the Divine True Realm.

The Divine True Realm is different from the five super continents, the Heavenly Realm, and other hidden dimensions of the Ancient Immortal Heavenly Realm.

The Divine True Realm is mostly a vast Realm Sea composed of smaller worlds, which revolve around the Sole True Realm.

The Sole True Realm is a place where a large number of true gods and deities gather, where countless laws and authorities intertwine, and all kinds of strange laws manifest in the world. It can be said to be an excellent treasure land for most flesh-and-blood civilizations to cultivate laws.

However, the Divine True Realm is filled with numerous pantheons and deities, and they are largely homogeneous.

That triggered a very common event in the Divine True Realm —the war of the gods.

The war of the gods was not only about killing opponents and consolidating divine authority, divine office, and divine status, but also a means of expanding their own omnipotent influence.

Just like the profound mysteries of laws and the Golden Nature of Divine Ability, only when more people understand and participate can new concepts, powers, and unknown laws continuously evolve, thus promoting the perfection of laws and elevating divine status.

Wang An thought for a moment and then transmitted some information to Lu Tianxin.

"Tianxin, see if anyone has been to the Divine True Realm. The plan to go to the Geng Metal Western Continent is cancelled; the Divine True Realm might also be a suitable place to cultivate Golden Nature."

After receiving her master's request to collect information on the six realms, Lu Tianxin kept in touch with her junior brothers and sisters, the federal councilors who went to explore the Hope direction, and the other four types of human races stationed in this area as powerful individuals of the same level.

They even began offering more bounties for intelligence in the Ophiuchus planetary system and in exploring new starports.
