Transmigrating Into a Fantasy World: Signing in During Pregnancy, Reaching the Summit with My Childhood Sweetheart

130: Chapter 130: The Choice Between the Palace of Reincarnation and the Glazed GlassThe moment they passed through that layer of Chaos light screen, Nangong Xuan and Su Muxue felt a strange sense of weightlessness, as if they had crossed some boundary of time and space. The deathly silence and the howling wind and sand of the ruins outside vanished instantly, replaced by an absolute, heart-palpitating tranquility.

They landed in a wide, downward-sloping passage. The stone walls on both sides were as smooth as mirrors, not carved by hand, but rather seemed to have been instantly fused and cast by some kind of power. Strange gemstones emitting a soft white light were embedded in the walls, illuminating the path ahead, yet not a single bit of light leaked out. The air was filled with a stagnant energy ten times denser than that of the outside world; the Concept of the Reincarnation of life and death was almost tangible here, and with every breath, they could feel their Divine Souls trembling slightly.

The chaos star core in his arms reached its limit of vibration!

Crack! The Xuanming Ice Seal covering it finally shattered completely, dissipating into the air as dots of eerie blue cold light.

Buzz—! Without the suppression of the ice Seal, the internal conflict of chaotic energy and will within the star Core erupted with a bang! Six-colored lights—green, black, gray, gold, red, and blue—exploded frantically like an out-of-control miniature nebula, violently distorting the Nirvana Dao Rhyme Seal Nangong Xuan had set, seemingly about to break open completely!

”Suppress it!” Nangong Xuan shouted low, fully circulating his nirvana golden core. The gray-black Dao Rhyme tightened again like shackles, firmly binding the star Core, but the light on its surface flickered unsteadily, clearly unable to last for long.

Su Muxue immediately poured Taiyin Star Power continuously into Nangong Xuan’s body to help him stabilize the Seal. Both knew this was merely drinking poison to quench thirst.

”Quick! The Perception is getting stronger! It’s right below!” Su Muxue said urgently. The starlight imprint on her forehead resonated strongly with a source of power from deep within the passage.

The two of them rushed down the passage at high speed. The passage was extremely long, as if leading directly to the center of the earth, and the surroundings were so silent that they could only hear their own heartbeats and footsteps.

The further down they went, the stone walls on both sides began to change. They were no longer smooth, but instead, countless blurred bas-reliefs emerged, depicting the birth, growth, aging, and death of living beings, as well as the cycle of Souls falling into a patch of Chaos, washing away the dust, and being reborn. The essence of Reincarnation rushed toward them, grand and compassionate.

Finally, the path ahead opened up.

They rushed out of the passage and stepped into a massive underground space whose grandeur and strangeness were beyond words.

The top of the space was invisible, only a hazy color of rotating Chaos, like an upside-down vortex. Beneath their feet was an incredibly large circular platform, made of a material that was neither metal nor jade, with a warm luster, covered in extremely complex Law patterns containing ultimate truths. These patterns were slowly flowing, emitting the majestic energy that maintained this place’s existence.

In the very center of the platform stood a strange altar carved from some kind of transparent crystal. The altar was divided into black and white, perfectly blending to form a natural Taiji diagram.

On the altar, there was no statue, only a lamp quietly suspended.

The lamp was ancient in design, seemingly fused from two different colors of glazed glass—one half pure and flawless, white as fresh snow, emitting a warm and soft life aura that nourished all things; the other half deep and dark, pitch-black like the eye of an eternal night, flowing with the cold and quiet intent of death that soothed the Souls of the departed.

Two diametrically opposed powers met on the lamp, yet they did not conflict; instead, they formed a perfect and harmonious balance and cycle. Streaks of Chaos-colored radiance flowed from the lamp, pouring into the altar patterns below like streams, maintaining the operation of the entire space.

The twin glazed lamp!

It was there, as if it had been so since ancient times, guarding the boundary between life and death and maintaining the order of Reincarnation.

And the moment Nangong Xuan and Su Muxue stepped onto this central platform, the chaos star core firmly sealed in his arms seemed to be fatally attracted, erupting with unprecedented impact!

”Jie... get it... merge into it...” The cold will of ”the dark side” roared madly, not hesitating to burn its Origin to frantically strike the Seal.

”Stop it... the glazed lamp... can... balance...” Lin Mo’s weak thoughts were also desperately communicating.

Crack! Under this internal and external pincer attack, Nangong Xuan’s Nirvana Dao Rhyme Seal was finally forced open with a gap!

A wisp of eerie blue, cold Origin power of ”the dark side” suddenly shot out like a venomous snake, heading straight for the twin glazed lamp on the altar! It actually wanted to be the first to contaminate or seize this sacred object!

”Don’t even think about it!” Nangong Xuan reacted extremely quickly, pointing his fingers like a sword, and a wisp of ultimate Nirvana Sword Intent arrived later but struck first, slashing toward that wisp of eerie blue Origin.

However, that wisp of Origin was extremely cunning; it suddenly swerved in mid-air, not rushing directly toward the twin glazed lamp, but instead plunging fiercely into the flowing Law patterns of the altar below!

It actually intended to first destroy the energy source maintaining the balance of this place!

Rumble! The entire platform shook violently! The Chaos radiance flowing on the altar instantly became chaotic, the balance between black and white was broken, the light flickered intensely, and the entire space began to hum, as if it could collapse at any moment.

The Law pattern where the Origin of ”the dark side” had invaded instantly became gray and stagnant, as if sludge had been stuffed into a blood vessel, and this grayness was rapidly spreading along the patterns!

”Not good!” Su Muxue’s face turned pale. Once the entire altar stopped functioning, this independent space would likely collapse immediately, and the twin glazed lamp might also lose control!

”Mu Xue! Go and stabilize the twin glazed lamp! I’ll try to force that ghost out!” Nangong Xuan made a decisive decision, temporarily handing the violently struggling star Core to Su Muxue, and in a flash, he appeared above the contaminated Law pattern.

He pressed both hands down fiercely, pouring his Nirvana Dao Rhyme into the patterns without reservation—not to destroy them, but to precisely target that wisp of ”the dark side” Origin for ”Gui Xu” annihilation!

The spread of the grayness slowed down abruptly, but fighting against the Origin of ”the dark side” within such precise Laws was like trying to catch a loach in a blood vessel; it was extremely difficult and carried immense risk. A slight mistake could cause secondary damage to the Law patterns.

On the other side, Su Muxue endured the chaotic impact from the star Core and flew onto the altar. She didn’t dare to touch the twin glazed lamp directly; instead, she sat cross-legged, elevating her Taiyin Star Power to the limit while simultaneously channeling the relatively peaceful or pure Stellar Power within the chaos star core—belonging to ”ji yun,” ”mars,” and ”Xuanming True Water”—into a pillar of pure Starlight, slowly pouring it into the twin glazed lamp.

She was attempting to use power of the same Origin to soothe and stabilize this sacred object, which had begun to grow restless due to the destruction of its energy source.

Buzz... Receiving this pure Stellar Power, the twin glazed lamp vibrated slightly, and the flow of black and white light became a bit more stable. But it was a drop in the bucket; the Chaos at the energy source below continued.

The Origin of ”the dark side” must be completely purged and the Law patterns repaired!

Fine sweat broke out on Nangong Xuan’s forehead as he chased and fought that slippery, cold Origin within the Law network. Although his Nirvana Dao Rhyme could restrain it, it was difficult to instantly kill it without damaging the precise Laws.

At this moment of stalemate—

”...Use... Taiyin... to lead... Netherworld...” Lin Mo’s intermittent but resolute thoughts came from the star Core again. At the same time, a pure force of life and death balance from the netherworld yi wood star key actively flowed out of the star Core, merging into the pillar of light guided by Su Muxue!

Su Muxue had a sudden flash of insight and immediately guided this power, which contained the true meaning of life and death, not into the twin glazed lamp, but straight toward the Law patterns where Nangong Xuan was fighting!

”Senior Brother! Receive this power! It can temporarily ’repair’ and ’cover’ the contaminated patterns, creating an opportunity for you!”

Nangong Xuan understood instantly and immediately released a bit of the Nirvana Dao Rhyme’s lock. That star key power, containing the Concept of life and death balance, quickly surged into the contaminated gray patterns.

Something miraculous happened. The originally gray and stagnant patterns, under the coverage of this life and death power, actually temporarily resumed their flow. Although they were not the original Chaos color but instead showed a mixture of green and black, they at least reconnected the energy!

That wisp of ”the dark side” Origin instantly lost its hiding place and its basis for destruction. Like a venomous snake exposed to sunlight, it suddenly snapped out from the temporarily ”repaired” patterns!

Now! Nangong Xuan had been waiting for a long time. His Impermanence Finger Force arrived later but struck first, with absolute precision hitting that wisp of eerie blue Origin attempting to flee!

Sizzle! Without any room for resistance, this wisp of rootless ”the dark side” will let out a silent shriek under the ultimate Nirvana True Intent and was completely annihilated, turning into nothingness.

The crisis was temporarily resolved!

Nangong Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and immediately checked the Law patterns. The area temporarily covered by the netherworld yi wood power was slowly fading, and the Chaos energy from below was surging back up, gradually assimilating and restoring it. Although the speed was slow, it was no longer a problem.

He looked at Su Muxue and saw her fully guiding the star Core power and Taiyin Star Power, continuously pouring them into the twin glazed lamp. The light of the twin glazed lamp gradually stabilized, and it began to feed back an even purer and more majestic power of Chaos Reincarnation into the altar, accelerating the repair of the Law patterns.

The vibrations of the entire space slowly subsided.

However, before the two could completely relax, another change occurred!

The twin glazed lamp, seemingly because it had absorbed enough Stellar Power and Taiyin Power of the same Origin and was stimulated by the life and death intent of the netherworld yi wood, suddenly accelerated the rotation of its internal life and death forces. It abruptly projected a pillar of Chaos light, not toward anywhere else, but directly enveloping the chaos star core in Su Muxue’s hands!

”Ah!” Su Muxue cried out in surprise, feeling the star Core in her hand become scalding hot. It flew out of her hand and suspended itself within the Chaos light pillar.

The star Core vibrated violently, the internal six-colored lights rotating at an unprecedented speed, finally being forcibly compressed and harmonized by that Chaos light pillar!

Lin Mo’s painful roars and the cold curses of ”the dark side” intertwined and came out, yet they were quickly drowned by the grand power of Reincarnation.

Within the Chaos light pillar, the shape of the star Core even began to slightly twist and deform!

”The glazed lamp is forcibly purifying the star Core!” Nangong Xuan understood instantly, his heart jumping into his throat. This process was incredibly overbearing—success would mean peace and clarity, but failure could lead directly to the star Core shattering!

Without hesitation, he flashed to Su Muxue’s side, also pressing his hand onto the Chaos light pillar, pouring his own Nirvana Dao Rhyme into it without reservation!

He wasn’t trying to stop it, but to join in! With his Nirvana Dao Rhyme, he would protect the most central ”Gui Xu” true intent of the star Core and Lin Mo’s consciousness Origin, helping it resist the purification power while also balancing the potentially excessive life force!

Three forces—the Reincarnation purification of the twin glazed lamp, Su Muxue’s Taiyin Star Power, and Nangong Xuan’s Nirvana Dao Rhyme—acted together upon the chaos star core!

This was an extremely dangerous yet exquisite balance!

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

After an unknown amount of time, the Chaos light pillar slowly weakened and dissipated.

The chaos star core fell from the air and was caught by Nangong Xuan.

The star Core’s appearance had changed greatly. It was no longer the previous chaotic mixture of light and colors, but had become a deep, restrained dark Chaos color. Its surface was as smooth as a mirror, and inside, six dots of faint light could be seen slowly rotating like stars around a deeper point, emitting an ancient, balanced, and yet extremely dangerous aura.

It no longer vibrated, no longer emitted chaotic wills, and had become exceptionally quiet.

”Senior Brother Lin Mo?” Su Muxue asked cautiously.

The star Core was silent for a moment, and then, a thought—though still weak, yet much clearer and more stable, no longer intermittent—was transmitted out:

”...Temporarily... I am fine. That wisp of ’the dark side’ Origin has been completely purified and annihilated by the Reincarnation power of the twin glazed lamp and your combined efforts.”

Hearing this, Nangong Xuan and Su Muxue finally breathed a long sigh of relief, nearly collapsing from exhaustion.

However, Lin Mo’s next sentence made their hearts rise again.

”But... during the purification process, I merged deeper with the star Core and perceived more things... Through that wisp of Origin, ’the dark side’ not only locked onto us but seems to have left an extremely hidden ’beacon’ deep within the star Core.”

”A beacon?” Nangong Xuan’s gaze turned sharp.

”Yes... a space-time imprint that cannot be detected or cleared by conventional means. It is dormant now, but once actively triggered, or when we approach certain important nodes of ’the dark side’... it may once again become a bright lamp pointing toward us.”

They had just resolved one crisis, yet a deeper hidden danger had been planted.

And just then, at the edge of the central platform, that ancient armored skeleton whose eye sockets had previously flickered with eerie blue light actually stood up at some point. Its hollow eye sockets looked toward the altar, its jawbone slightly opening and closing as it emitted hoarse and ancient syllables:

”Reincarnation... restarts... the Gatekeeper... awakens... outsiders... you... have brought variables...”
