Divine Duality Realm. After contemplating its origins and source, this was the name he settled on. As a sub-realm that connects two universes in unison, this felt more than appropriate.
He didn't add the 'sub' because, in its own right, it was a true realm and likely the first of its kind within the Heavenly and Non Universes.
He tapped out and an odd space, nearly distorted as it seemed to border on nothingness and all things within the heavens, forming a unique duality. This space was a pacified rift was the first portal he established between the heavenly universe and his new realm.
”Seems like there's truly issues to overcome, I may have to learn how to establish formations.” The limitations weren't too extreme, but the issue of connectivity left him slightly frustrated . The Non Universe may seem to be stagnant, but it was like an ever-flowing river. Because it was connected to both universes, the sub-realm was constantly moving which made it difficult to locate.
Inversely, the Heavenly Universe was incomparably stable. If a sub-realm was produced within, it would stay there for all of time until it collapses or was destroyed. An example was the Asura Phantom Realm, it was created near the Xiantu Realm and was still at its exact location to this day.
Unfortunately, the sub-realm was still influenced by the Non Universe's continuous movements.
The very reason he created a sun infused with his False Grand Dao energy was so that he could locate it, establishing a connection with some effort. Nevertheless, the difficulty in opening a portal and connecting with it would continue to grow as he got further away from it. This was the core reason why he needed to establish a formation, to lessen the stress and strain on locating and stabilizing its movements.
It did have its benefits, however. Because it was created between two universes, he could access it from any location within both universes, theoretically, at least. He wasn't sure if there was a distance limit, but he felt confident that, with his strength, it should be possible.
The next step was creating talismans for his disciples, ones capable of independently establishing a portal themselves.
”I'll find some spare time to delve into formations later.” Deciding this, he motioned for the two to enter.
-----
Twelve years later.
The Graceful Sword Realm underwent massive upheavals. Firstly, the Realmlord had failed her breakthrough due to insufficient resources, unable to continue; she had to abandon her efforts and relegated back to the first-floor of the Heavenly Genesis Realm. This news wasn't widespread, but what was widespread was a piece of unsettling news: ”The Realmlord's Palace was ROBBED!”
While her losses individually could be hidden well, the losses of the entire realm after Yan Zaizen's thorough 'claiming' left a visible mark that all could see. Even the heavenly drops powering the realm's formations was 'claimed,' leaving them unable to activate it or any of their other formations. When this news spread, many were curious as to what was happening, and many even speculated outlandish things.
However, all these were rumors.
Secondly, the twin guardians, Ella and Emma, were no longer heavenly cultivators! This news spread like a contagious disease, unable to be hidden or prevented as they handled every single issue within the realm directly.
Thirdly, the male insurgency started to garner more and more support after their miraculous survival. With the weakening of the Realmlord's Palace, many suspected that they had angered an expert, some even suspected that the male insurgency had been involved. This allowed them to become known more, and the ideological seed that they had planted were growing like crops in the minds of men everywhere.
There were even some top-tier forces who had the intent to supersede the current regime, creating a very unstable and complex internal situation within the realm.
The actions of the Realmlord's Palace didn't pacify the situation either, as they demanded the increase in tribute to make up for their losses towards all the top-tier forces. This action caused many forces to feel disgruntled, their eyes suffused with hatred and mocking at the Realmlord's Palace. Many were even calculating their own strength and the weakness of the palace, intending to make a move!
The situation grew unstable by the day, and nothing helped. This was because of heavenly drops and heavenly formations that required them. It would take a first-floor Heavenly Genesis expert a century to create a single drop, yet they only had their Realmlord and thus no other resources. Since the Realmlord had used all the heavenly drops available for her breakthrough, they had nothing to power their heavenly formations.
With that, the other groups simply needed to figure out a way to handle the Realmlord's profound cultivation base and attack! As the thought was formed, the world started to grow restless!
While all this took place, Yan Zaizen was within his Palace within the Divine Duality Realm's personal chaotic space; his eyes focused on the book in his hand. This book was titled: 'Advanced Formation Tactics, Vol.XI - Heavenly Formation Connectivity.”
Yan Zaizen had obtained a set of formation books along the way somehow, and he'd been delving into it for the past few hundred years. In the outside world, only twelve years passed, but Yan Zaizen was far too used to the time discrepancies.
”Formations are truly profound…” As he learned more, he realized how complex formations were. If it wasn't for his enhanced cognitive functions due to his regalia refined brain, he wasn't sure the original him would be capable of understanding a single thing written about formations.
”Yes, they are,” Pinaka proudly said.
Pinaka gained a majority of her strength from formations, and her physical body was mostly a bundle of overly complex formations. If anyone understood the difficult and profoundness of formations, it would be True Spirits who relied heavily on it.
