487: Wilderness harmonizes, life and tranquility are in balance

On the western border of the Newborn Realm, at the edge of the Savage Realm's phantom, battle cries and beast roars echoed through the sky. The Body Cultivators led by Li Dao formed a sturdy defensive Formation, their black armor gleaming. The Power of Silent Vigilance flowed within the Formation, firmly blocking wave after wave of charging Savage Beasts within the phantom. Although the Savage Beasts were extremely ferocious, they were unable to break through the Cultivators' defense. They could only roar madly outside the Formation, their bodies' emerald spiritual light growing more intense with anger.

Just then, a sound of rushing air came from the sky. The Seven of Lu Chen arrived side by side. Green Bud held a bundle of savage silence grass exuding a Dao rhyme of Annihilation, its leaves' black patterns wriggling like living things, emitting a faint cool aura. Following closely were Ling Xu and several Patrol Envoys skilled in Formations. They held hongmeng samsara talismans in their hands, and the spiritual light of Formation runes enveloped their bodies.

"Li Dao, you've worked hard," Lu Chen's voice came, carrying a gentle Dao rhyme. "Next, leave it to us."

Seeing everyone arrive, Li Dao showed a hearty smile. He punched back the savage beast in front of him and shouted, "Brother Lu Chen, you're finally here! These beasts are truly troublesome. If we keep fighting, the brothers' physical strength will be exhausted!"

Lu Chen nodded slightly, his gaze fixed on the Savage Realm's phantom, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes. "The Life-Silence imbalance has reached a critical point; we cannot delay any longer. Green Bud, prepare to plant the savage silence grass; Ling Xu, set up the Life-Silence Harmony Formation; Myriad Guardian, I'll trouble you to clear the Savage Beasts on the periphery of the phantom to buy us time."

"Yes, sir!" The three responded in unison.

Myriad Guardian's figure flashed, transforming into a twelve-colored stream of light, and charged into the savage beast horde. The black and white longsword in his hand danced, its Sword Qi crisscrossing. With each strike, he could kill several Savage Beasts, and the balanced Dao rhyme contained within the Sword Qi could initially purify the raging Vitality within the Savage Beasts, rendering them no longer destructive. "Retreat quickly! Otherwise, don't blame me for being merciless!" Myriad Guardian's voice was like thunder, shaking the Savage Beasts into retreating, and the pressure on the periphery of the phantom instantly greatly reduced.

Green Bud seized the opportunity to leap into the air, arriving above the Savage Realm's phantom. She took out the savage silence grass seeds from her embrace, rapidly formed hand seals, and lightly chanted, "savage silence grass, take root and sprout, absorb dryness and generate silence, harmonize and balance!"

As her voice fell, she scattered the seeds into the phantom. The seeds transformed into countless emerald streams of light in the air, falling like spring rain onto the land within the phantom. The moment they touched the ground, the seeds rooted and sprouted at a visible speed. Deep green stems grew rapidly, leaves unfurled, and black patterns spread across the leaves, emitting a rich Dao rhyme of Annihilation.

One, ten, a hundred... In just a short while, savage silence grass took root and grew in the vast land within the phantom, forming a huge green sea. These Spiritual Plants were like miniature Life-Silence Springs, frantically absorbing the raging Vitality from the air while releasing gentle Power of Annihilation. As the savage silence grass grew, the violent aura within the phantom gradually weakened, and the originally dazzling emerald sky also became much softer.

"Now!" Ling Xu shouted, and he and several Formation Patrol Envoys acted simultaneously. The hongmeng samsara talismans in their hands burst forth with dazzling spiritual light, and countless black and white Formation runes flew out from the talismans, interweaving in the air to form a massive Formation outline. This was the "Life-Silence Harmony Formation," specifically used to harmonize the imbalanced realm energy.

"Draw the power of the myriad realms spirit net, gather the might of Guardian faith, Life-Silence Harmony Formation, activate!"

Ling Xu formed hand seals, mobilizing his own Guardian will, and through the myriad realms spirit net, sent out a distress signal to the Cultivators of the Twelve Realms. Instantly, countless Cultivators from the Twelve Realms and the Newborn Realm responded, transmitting their Guardian will along the spirit net. These wills were like trickling streams, converging into a mighty energy that poured into the Life-Silence Harmony Formation.

The Formation's light instantly surged tenfold, and the black and white runes flowed within the Formation like living things, forming a huge energy vortex. Within the vortex, Life-Silence Power intertwined and fused, emitting a balanced Dao rhyme that swept through the entire Savage Realm's phantom like a tide.

Lu Chen's figure soared into the air, standing at the center of the Life-Silence Harmony Formation. He formed hand seals, and the eternal dao fruit mark on his brow flickered, drawing upon the Origin Power of the Life-Silence Spring. A massive black and white light beam streaked from the direction of the Life-Silence Spring, passed through the myriad realms spirit net, and landed in Lu Chen's hand. "With the Life-Silence Spring as the source, and the guardian stele as the guide, Power of Annihilation, transform the savage lands!"

Lu Chen waved the light beam in his hand towards the core area of the Savage Realm's phantom. The light beam was like a surging river, flowing along the Veins of the Life-Silence Harmony Formation to every corner of the phantom. Wherever it passed, the raging Vitality and gentle Power of Annihilation merged, forming balanced energy. The originally overgrown vegetation began to return to normal, the green viscous liquid in the rivers became clear, and the creatures within stopped tearing at each other, their eyes gradually becoming gentle.

In the core area of the phantom, the energy vortex was still gushing with raging Vitality. When the Power of Annihilation brought by Lu Chen merged with the Power of Annihilation released by the savage silence grass and poured into the energy vortex, the vortex's rotation speed gradually slowed, and the violent aura grew weaker and weaker. Finally, the energy vortex stopped gushing, transforming into a calm energy lake. The lake water displayed a perfect black and white color, like a miniature of the Life-Silence Spring, emitting a gentle, balanced Dao rhyme.

With the stabilization of the energy core, the entire Savage Realm's phantom underwent earth-shattering changes. The sky was no longer a dazzling emerald but became a two-colored sky similar to the Newborn Realm, half azure, half profound; on the ground, vegetation was lush but no longer grew wildly, and flowers were vibrant and fragrant; rivers were crystal clear, and creatures coexisted harmoniously, playing and frolicking, no longer displaying the previous savagery and slaughter.

The Savage Realm's phantom finally stabilized, becoming a realm of Life-Silence balance.

Just then, a tall figure walked from the core area of the phantom. This figure was covered in golden scales, a single horn on its head shimmered with gentle spiritual light, and its face was majestic but not ferocious—it was the Dominator of the Savage Realm, Barbarian Sovereign. He had previously become violent due to the Life-Silence imbalance, but now, nourished by the balanced Dao rhyme, he had recovered his clarity.

Barbarian Sovereign walked up to The Seven of Lu Chen and bowed deeply, his voice steady and powerful: "Thank you, Guardians, for bringing balance to the Savage Realm. Previously, due to the Life-Silence imbalance, my people and I lost our minds and caused many offenses. I hope you can forgive us. From now on, the Savage Realm is willing to follow the Guardians, learn the Dao of Balance, and jointly protect the peace of the myriad realms."

Lu Chen looked at Barbarian Sovereign, a relieved smile on his face: "Barbarian Sovereign, there's no need for such courtesy. The Life-Silence imbalance was not your fault. Now that the Savage Realm is stable, this is the best outcome. Welcome to the great family of the myriad realms."

A hint of gratitude flashed in Barbarian Sovereign's eyes, and he bowed again: "Thank you, Dao Sovereign, for accepting us. I have already ordered that all living beings in the Savage Realm will henceforth take the protection of balance as their responsibility, and absolutely no Life-Silence imbalance will be allowed to occur again."

Myriad Guardian stepped forward and said to Barbarian Sovereign: "Barbarian Sovereign, rest assured. I have set up ten Guardian points within the Savage Realm, each equipped with a Life-Silence Balance Formation, jointly guarded by Spirits of Law and Patrol Envoys. If any signs of energy imbalance appear in the future, the Guardian points will provide an immediate warning, and we will be able to arrive in time to handle it."

Barbarian Sovereign nodded and bowed deeply to Myriad Guardian: "With Lord Myriad Guardian's protection, I am at ease."

With the stabilization of the Savage Realm, a golden light streaked from the direction of the myriad realms guardian stele and merged into the Savage Realm's phantom. The phantom's outline became increasingly solid, and its connection with the myriad realms spirit net grew tighter. At the same time, a new chapter, "Savage Guardian," was added to the body of the myriad realms guardian stele. It inscribed Barbarian Sovereign's name and the origin of the Savage Realm, as well as the deeds of The Seven of Lu Chen in harmonizing Life-Silence, echoing the previous chapters and exuding a magnificent Dao rhyme.

"The Savage Realm has established a connection with the myriad realms spirit net. It won't be long before it completely stabilizes and forms, becoming another realm beyond the Twelve Realms." Lu Chen looked in the direction of the guardian stele, a hint of realization flashing in his eyes.

Ling Xu sighed with emotion: "Life-Silence harmony not only resolved a crisis but also added a new realm to the myriad realms. This is the profound mystery of the Grand Dao of 'Mutual Life through Silent Vigilance.'"

Green Bud looked at the thriving savage silence grass in the Savage Realm, a joyful smile on her face: "These savage silence grass have taken root in the Savage Realm. From now on, they will continuously absorb excess Vitality and release Power of Annihilation, maintaining the Life-Silence balance within the realm."

Li Dao laughed heartily: "This is great! Another stable realm, and we Guardians can finally relax a bit."

Just then, a golden light shot out from the energy core of the Savage Realm, transforming into an ancient Jade Slip that slowly landed in Lu Chen's hand. On the Jade Slip, the five gilded characters "Savage Harmony Art" shone brightly. It detailed the methods for harmonizing Life-Silence imbalance, the cultivation and application techniques of savage silence grass, the Profound Truth of setting up the Life-Silence Harmony Formation, and how to maintain the Life-Silence balance of a new realm.

Lu Chen gripped the Jade Slip, his gaze sweeping over the stabilized Savage Realm, then looking at the Dao rhyme flowing in the myriad realms spirit net, his heart filled with emotion. "Life-Silence balance is the Foundation of stability for the myriad realms. From now on, we must uphold the Grand Dao of 'Mutual Life through Silent Vigilance' even more firmly and protect the balance of every realm."

Under the two-colored sky of the Savage Realm, living beings lived in peace and contentment, and Cultivators began to cultivate and settle there. A new realm, through the efforts of the Guardians, officially embarked on a path of coexistence and co-prosperity with the myriad realms. And the newly added "Savage Guardian" chapter on the myriad realms guardian stele also indicated that the map of the myriad realms was about to welcome new expansion.
