"boom!"
Suddenly, a giant palm of light slammed down, covering the entire celestial tribulation and engulfing everything beneath it.
"Sizzle!"
A jade ruyi slashed through the sky and fell down. It looked gentle, but upon closer inspection, the rays of light flowing from it were actually strings of stars, which was astonishing.
A light emanated from between Lin Yi's brows. It seemed faint, but it transformed into a vast and boundless void, with countless stars twinkling and forming a magnificent celestial river. As the light converged and flowed, it had a sense of slow movement.
The Milky Way flows like starlight, water light, and time itself, but what it exudes is a profound and majestic virtue that nourishes all things and benefits all living beings.
The Milky Way flowed, seemingly there yet not there, connecting the vast universe. Celestial light danced, and a shower of light filled the sky. A gigantic portal appeared.
Lin Yi took a step out and went inside. Behind the door was an incredible sea.
Amidst the ebb and flow of the waves, worlds rise and fall, appearing and disappearing among the spray; some vanish, some dry up, and some become nothing but bubbles.
This sea is boundless, and now it is peaceful and tranquil, with only a few ripples. But each time, many broken worlds are shattered.
Are these waves and sprays made up of them?
boom!
Suddenly, a massive wave surged forth, and Lin Yi saw an even grander world emerging from the spray and concealed within the towering waves. He sensed different ancient realms, different auras, traversing the long river of time, rushing towards him.
Those different waves, those different worlds, contain different atmospheres, and each has its own unique path.
A rainbow of seven colors flew by, traversing endless time and space. Lin Yi stepped onto the rainbow bridge and looked out. In front of him was a palace that seemed to be shrouded in chaos.
The purple hue is subtly concealed, the design is ancient and simple, and the five virtues and five elements are transformed into divine beasts and celestial birds that surround and entwine it, with auspicious clouds forming a sea, countless rays of light, and clusters of auspicious energy.
At this moment, the gates are wide open, revealing a spacious and deep inner sanctuary, where rows of candles burn eternally, illuminating the darkness.
"Come in."
A voice came from the main hall.
Lin Yi ascended the steps and entered the main hall. His gaze pierced through the layers of candlelight and darkness, and he saw a middle-aged Taoist priest in a feathered robe and star-studded crown sitting at the head of the hall.
Lin Yi solemnly bowed to the person directly in front of him and said, "Greetings, Star Lord."
Taiyuan Star Venerable said, "No need for formalities. We've both been tricked by that damned author. I'm now merging with the Dao, but I don't know when I'll be able to break free of these shackles and escape this cage. The Gate to the Other Shore has already merged with the origin of this world. From now on, you can cultivate peacefully in this world."
"Thank you for informing me, Star Lord," Lin Yi nodded and said.
"You can go now, I still have some minor issues to resolve."
With a wave of his hand, Taiyuan Xingzun teleported Lin Yi out of the main hall, across the boundary sea, and onto the shore, where he began a new life.
