As soon as the Transcendent power began spreading in the Mystique Realm, it released a blinding radiance that stopped all the energy flow, it seemed as if time stopped moving.
Both Shen Yuan's aunts and his mother froze on the spot as soon as they felt the power spreading all over the place. It did not affect them at all though, just moved past them to cover all the areas affected by the physique.
It began suppressing the physique and made restrictions on it, it formed complicated runes beyond mortal comprehension, a mortal can stare at them for an eternity but he won't be able to understand even an atom's worth of knowledge from it.
The materialization of the Yin-Yang symbol tried to resist it but it could not do anything against the might of those runes as the physique did not have any place to draw the power from.
The size of the Qi Vortex began reducing little by little as the restriction from the transcendent power increased its output.
100,000,000 km
90,000,000 km
As the size of the Qi Vortex began reducing the pressure that it was exerting on its surroundings began decreasing.
Huo Rong and Bing Rong felt lighter as the pressure kept decreasing on them at a steady rate. Shen Yuxin stood straight again as she felt the pressure decreasing.
Even after she stood straight, she didn't have the courage to speak anything in the presence of that transcendent power.
As the qi vortex continued to shrink from 90,000,000 km
80,000,000 km
70,000,000 km
The Yin-Yang materialization visibly lost its luster as the symbol decreased in size as well and a lot of other complimentary materializations became lost such as the Sun-Moon wheel, Celestials in harmony, etc.
The reduction speed of the Qi Vortex accelerated as the phenomenon around the Yin-Yang symbol began to decrease.
60,000,000 km
50,000,000 km
40,000,000 km
30,000,000 km
20,000,000 km
Shen Yuan was in the center of the Qi Vortex, he couldn't feel anything as it was not happening inside his body the the very concept of his physique.
His level was too low to understand the sheer magnitude of the things happening around him. He was sitting cross-legged in the very center of Qi Vortex, meditating peacefully.
But something deep inside him stirred a little as it felt the presence of that transcendent power, but it didn't react after some time, meanwhile, the Qi Vortex reached 10,000,000 km in size.
As it continued decreasing from 10,000,000 to 9,000,000, it slowed the speed of shrinking.
8,000,000 km
7,000,000 km
The restrictions were becoming more and more powerful as the longer it went on. The runes on the physique became denser as well.
6,000,000 km
5,000,000 km
4,000,000 km
3,000,000 km
2,000,000 km
1,000,000 km
Just as the Qi Vortex got reduced to the height of 1,000,000, the pressure released from it reduced greatly but did not stop reducing.
900,000 km
800,000 km
700,000 km
600,000 km
500,000 km
The restrictive power began slowing down as it looked like the power was nearly done with restricting Shen Yuan's physique.
400,000 km
300,000 km
200,000 km
As the Qi Vortex nearly reached the 100,000 km mark the transcendent power around the Mystique Realm began vanishing, as if it never existed in the first place.
After all the mysterious power vanished from the spot the Qi Vortex was left alone with a mere height of 100,000 km.
Even after getting so many restrictions the Yin-Yang symbol was illuminating brilliant light as the moon in the night sky.
After everything calmed down in the Mystique Realm as all the commotion stopped and the Transcendent power vanished, Shen Yuxin looked around her to see if the power affected anything.
After seeing right and left she was left speechless as not even a spec of dust was destroyed from all that, while both Huo Rong and Bing Rong also stood up straight as they also saw the same thing as what Shen Yuxin Saw.
Huo Rong asked in a low voice, almost as if she was afraid that someone would hear her, "Big Sis, why is the Mystique Realm so quiet? And how is there no destruction at all?"
Shen Yuxin looked at Huo Rong and replied, "Because the unknown power from before permeated everywhere in the Mystique Realm and protected it from being destroyed or affected, otherwise even the deeper layer of space would have been affected by it."
Bing Rong then asked after listening to her explanation, "Then what happened to Yuan's physique? Why does it look like it lost the majority of its power?"
To which Shen Yuxin replied, "You didn't see the runes before? His physique got sealed because its level was far beyond this world, our world can't bear the power of such a high level physique so a transcendent power put restrictions on it, his physique might be the only physique with this level in our world right now."
As they fell silent because of the uneasiness in their heart, Shen Yuxin noticed that something was off as she spoke to herself.
"Why is the Qi Vortex not merging with his body to nourish his physique? Is it not finished yet?"
Bing Rong and Huo Rong listened to her muttering and revealed a confused expression as well.
Just as one of them was about to speak, all three of them felt an inexplicable chill claw on their heart, they felt as if the world was about to end.
As all three of them stood rooted on the spot due to the inexplicable chill they felt just now, Dao Hums began to resound around all of them.
From the center of the Mystique Realm where Shen Yuan was sitting crossed-legged, a divine light began spreading and the qi vortex above him churned.
All three of them widened their eyes at the unbelievable scene in front of them. Huo Rong mustered her courage as she whispered to Shen Yuxin.
"Big Sis, has his awakening ritual not finished yet?"
Shen Yuxin stated straight ahead and replied with utmost conviction, "I don't know."
Both Huo Rong and Bing Rong were left speechless as they screamed internally,
'Then why do you sound as if you have it all figured out!!'
As they looked forward once more the Dao Hums began to strengthen as various scenes manifested in front of them.
There were so many scenes that they couldn't even count them, the entire Mystique Realm was filled with these manifestations for as far as their eyes could see.
Carps jumping through the Dragon Gate, Celestial Dragons soaring the skies, Phoenix soaring through the Nine Heavens, Nine-Tailed Foxes singing and dancing, Humans lighting the fire of humankind, Sun and Moon revolving around each other, Realms being created, etc.
There were manifestations from myriad races and celestial bodies. Then, in the center of it all was Shen Yuan, sitting peacefully going through his awakening ceremony without any signs of waking up.
As those manifestations began to move his Qi Vortex which was reduced due to the Transcendent Restrictions rose crazily, easily surpassing 10,000,000 km within the blink of an eye.
Even then it didn't stop expanding crazily as if even the heavens themselves wouldn't be able to stop it, the manifestations began more and more real as the Qi Vortex churned with such might that it left all three of them breathless.
As the Qi Vortex expanded in size it began releasing monstrous pressure on Shen Yuxin and the two sisters, Both of them nearly went on their knees with a Qi Vortex of a mere 40,000,000 km.
They gritted their pretty white teeth as they withstood the pressure that was bearing down on them due to the Qi Vortex.
They were doing better this time due to their experience from last time, and even they were surprised as they could see the visible improvements in their foundation after withstanding the thrashing of the Qi Vortex.
Shen Yuxin's brows also furrowed from the pressure as the Qi Vortex continued expanding, reaching 70,000,000 km in an instant.
It was putting a lot more pressure on them as time continued to pass. When it reached 90,000,000 km both Huo Rong and Bing Rong nearly kneeled dow to the pressure but they resisted it this time with more familiarity.
They both had sweat tricking down their backs as they saw the Qi Vortex reach its former might at 100,000,000 km it again released a blinding radiance as the pressure it released nearly made both of the sisters kneel again, but with the previous experience, they withstood it this time.
They gritted their teeth as they resisted the pressure with all their might, sweat was dripping down their face as they used this chance to further solidify their foundation, they looked at Shen Yuxin from behind her, who was still standing straight.
Their eyes lit up with pride as they thought, 'This is our Big Sis! Even in such pressure she doesn't feel a thing and is standing as straight as a spear.'
Alas, only if they saw her face, her forehead was covered with cold sweat as she resisted the pressure from the Qi Vortex.
She thought, 'If it continued increasing at this rate then even I might not be able to stand straight here.'
...
A strange existence existed in an Unknown realm so far away that the mortals of Desolate Continent couldn't even comprehend.
The strange existence, which was flickering in and out of existence, it was as if it existed and did not exist at the same time, everywhere one looked there was pure chaos and nothing, even if someone was trillions of light years away from the strange existence position they wouldn't find anything in this realm.
There was nothing but pure Primordial Chaos, as if only this strange existence existed, only the globe of light was eternal in this ever-changing world.
From time to time, countless spatial rifts were opening and closing from which one could see countless lower realms but even these lower realms were far stronger than the measly world in which Shen Yuan was born.
The Globe of light shook as it felt something, a sound came from it as if the Great Dao itself spoke, "What is this presence I'm feeling? Has the one I have always been waiting for arrived in this Chaos?"
The being mulled over its thought as it tried to look for the source, "Interesting, he was born in that corner of the world, that's why it took me such a long time to find him, otherwise even a zeptosecond would have been enough to find him if he was in a higher world, he is in one of the lowest realms."
The Globe of light buzzed as it zapped out of existence and went towards the direction from where he felt vague fluctuations.
It passed through countless lower realms in its journey but it passed through them without any issue, but as it passed through more lower realms the resistance of the Transcendent power became more powerful.
As if saying 'No being this powerful belongs in such a lower realm' but the being didn't give a damn and just went through all obstacles in front of it.
...
Back where Shen Yuan was going through his awakening ritual, the Qi Vortex was about to increase its size again, Shen Yuxin, Huo Rong, and Bing Rong got ready to brace for the impact.
They thought it would increase by another 20,000,000 km or 30,000,000 km but it directly doubled in size from 100,000,000km to 200,000,000 km.
Both Huo Rong and Bing Rong kneeled down without any hint of resistance, they gasped for air as they felt this overwhelming pressure pressing them down.
Even the Mystique Realm was filled with the overwhelming power of the Qi Vortex.
