Chapter 67 Sharing the Enlightenment of the Great Dao
The azure rainbow transformed by the Longevity Goddess was so fast that it transcended the concept of ordinary escape light, and was more like a leap and traverse of space.
The ghostly winds, wandering evil spirits, and even some ancient ghostly creatures that tried to stop them along the way were all easily dispersed by the magnificent vitality of Yi Wood and the Daoist charm of Xu Earth naturally emanating from the outer edge of the rainbow light, or were directly penetrated, unable to hinder them in the slightest.
Ignoring these numerous obstacles, he swiftly traversed several layers of dark barriers symbolizing different realms of the underworld, finally arriving at the edge of the Underworld Blood Sea, a place permeated with endless bloody aura and seemingly gathering all the negative energy in the world.
That thick, scarlet, boundless ocean of blood, churning with nauseating foam, with countless twisted, vengeful faces appearing and disappearing in the waves, emitting silent wails.
The rising resentment, malevolence, and evil energy intertwined to form a dark red mist visible to the naked eye, enough to erode even the most powerful magical artifacts and corrupt even the most powerful Daoist bodies.
Even though Wanshou Yuanjun had already learned of the danger and filth of this place from his main body, when he saw it with his own eyes and felt the terrifying aura that seemed to freeze the soul and defile the true spirit, his usually calm mind was still shaken and he felt an unprecedented shock.
He did not rush into this desolate place because of his shock, but immediately concealed his aura and hovered in the void at the edge of the sea of blood.
Immediately, he focused his mind and, through that mysterious and timeless connection, clearly transmitted the message that he had arrived to Zhen Yuanzi's main body, who was deep within the sea of blood.
Before long, the blood-sea barrier in front of them, which had been churning like a solidified wall of blood, seemed to be controlled by an invisible force and silently and smoothly parted to both sides, as if a thick scarlet curtain had been drawn back.
A figure slowly emerged from within, enveloped by a thick, dark yellow light and a pure, cold white lotus glow, effectively isolating the suffocating filth and malevolent energy from the outside. It was none other than Zhen Yuanzi himself.
The two met, their eyes met, and without any words of greeting, everything about the situation here, their previous experiences, and their future plans was synchronized and confirmed through their fundamental connection in that instant of eye contact.
"Follow me." Zhen Yuanzi's true form spoke concisely and in a steady voice.
His magical power surged slightly, and the twelve-petaled Pure World White Lotus floating above his head shone brightly, its radiance suddenly expanding to form a more solid and dazzling protective shield, which gently enveloped the Longevity Goddess as well.
Wherever the pure white lotus radiance reached, the surging sea of blood and filth, along with the terrifying, bone-corroding aura, retreated and dissipated like boiling water splashed on snow, emitting a faint hissing sound.
They carved out a brief but clean safe passage amidst this boundless filth.
The two, one after the other, ventured once again into the infamous Blood Sea under the protection of the White Lotus.
Zhen Yuanzi was already familiar with the path, leading Wanshou Yuanjun through the layers of thick barriers formed by countless resentments and obsessions, as well as some naturally formed spatial folds and energy turbulence zones.
Finally, they returned to that strange space, shrouded in the grand and profound Dao of Reincarnation, completely different from the Blood Sea outside.
Upon seeing the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc, which floats in the center of space as if it has existed since time immemorial, slowly rotating and exuding an aura of chaos and a rhythm of destiny, Wanshou Yuanjun, even though she was already prepared, could not help but feel a deep shock and tremor from the very origin of the Great Dao.
The profound mystery of this object, and the completeness and vastness of its inherent Dao principles, far surpasses any innate spiritual root he has ever seen or heard of in the Wanshou Mountain.
It is a supreme power that points directly to the core rules of heaven and earth and governs the cycle of reincarnation for all living beings.
"Calm your mind and focus your attention, carefully comprehend it, and do not waste this opportunity," Zhen Yuanzi's true form solemnly reminded him, his tone carrying a hint of seriousness.
Immediately, he joined his fingers like a sword, his fingertips swirling with the purest essence of his own Daoist spirit and divine thought, and gently touched the ancestral aperture between the eyebrows of the Longevity Primordial Lord.
In an instant, a vast, complex, and profound torrent of thoughts, containing countless mysteries and insights into the Great Dao, surged into the depths of the Longevity Lord's sea of consciousness without reservation, following the point of contact between his fingertips and brow!
This torrent of information encompasses everything:
Zhen Yuanzi's profound understanding and essential knowledge of the "Reincarnation" Dao, including its operating mechanism, karmic attraction, the ignorance and transformation of the true spirit, and other core mysteries.
To personally experience the true feelings and changes in mindset of countless lifetimes of reincarnation and the ups and downs of the joys and sorrows of all living beings.
The complete framework, core essence, key points of application, and future potential projections of the newly created supreme divine power "Earth Reincarnation".
A detailed analysis, a summary of characteristics, and preliminary application insights of the several fragments of the Chaos Demon God Laws that have been absorbed and refined (Golden Sharpness, Ice Annihilation, Illusionary Confusion, Corrosion and Decay, Thunderous Destruction, Gravity Condensation, etc.).
The analysis of the unique environmental energy structure of the Netherworld Blood Sea, and the profound insights and application techniques of the "Devouring Dao Rhyme" obtained from the Six-Winged Black Mosquito when refining alien energy...
The sheer volume of information and the profound complexity of its Daoist principles are truly remarkable, encompassing almost all of Zhen Yuanzi's core takeaways from his journey through the Blood Sea!
Although Wanshou Yuanjun and Zhenyuanzi share the same origin, are connected in mind and spirit, and share the same Dao, he did not personally experience the process of absorbing and refining the remains of many chaotic demon gods and fusing with that domineering devouring origin.
His foundation leans more towards the pure vitality of Yi Wood and the supportive nature of Xu Earth, resulting in a more moderate and peaceful style.
At this moment, suddenly receiving so many external fragments of laws—each with different attributes, extremely high essence, and even some leaning towards extremes and negativity—and absorbing their insights and experiences, is far less smooth and natural to understand and accept than it is to personally experience them as one's own body, as if they were extensions of one's own limbs.
His face paled slightly, and without hesitation, he sat cross-legged in the air, closed his eyes, and focused all his energy on dealing with the information storm in his mind.
His Daoist aura was no longer stable. The azure Yi Wood divine light and the Xuanhuang Xu Earth Daoist light alternated and flickered violently, showing that he was undergoing intense digestion and integration in his heart.
His brows furrowed at times, as if resolving some kind of fundamental conflict; at other times they relaxed, as if he had grasped some key point.
Within his sea of consciousness, it seemed as if countless Dao runes representing different laws were colliding, intertwining, and attempting to recombine and merge.
This is a crucial and challenging process of "localizing" foreign insights and integrating them into one's own system.
Zhen Yuanzi's main body stood quietly by, observing the fluctuations and changes in the Daoist aura around his clone with profound insight.
He knew in his heart that, due to the subtle differences in their foundations, the depth of the clone, the Myriad Longevity Lord, in understanding the Great Dao of Reincarnation, as well as the ultimate control and integration of those fragments of demonic and divine laws, would inevitably be weaker than that of his main body.
This is due to inherent limitations that are difficult to completely overcome.
However, as long as Wanshou Yuanjun can gain a basic understanding of the principles governing these Great Daos and master their fundamental applications, it will be sufficient for him to establish himself in the perilous depths of the Blood Sea and perfectly execute subsequent monitoring and cultivation plans.
In the primordial era, time was immeasurable. In this unique space shrouded in the Dao of Reincarnation, the concept of time became blurred.
It is unknown how much time has passed—perhaps a moment, or perhaps decades or centuries—but the violently turbulent and flickering Daoist aura surrounding the Myriad Longevity Lord finally began to stabilize, as if gently smoothed by an invisible hand, and eventually calmed down.
He exhaled a long breath of turbid air, mixed with Daoist rhymes, and slowly opened his eyes.
The light in his eyes was more restrained and profound than before. In the depths of his eyes, in addition to the original vitality of Yi Wood and the weight of Xu Earth, there was a greater sense of the vicissitudes of reincarnation and a strange luster brought by some different laws.
Things like the sharpness of gold, the coldness of ice, and the illusion of the unknown, though inconspicuous, truly exist.
Clearly, he has already absorbed the main and core insights into the Great Dao. Although he has not yet reached the pinnacle, he can already use them.
"How do you feel?" Zhen Yuanzi asked as he saw that Zhen Yuanzi had awakened.
After a brief moment of self-reflection, the Longevity Goddess calmly replied, "The wonders of reincarnation have been grasped; many key points are now clear."
"I have also gained something from those fragments of different laws. Although they are not as profound as the original essence and have not been fully integrated into the foundation of Yi Wood and Xu Earth, they are sufficient to assist in cultivation, cope with the environment here, and even perform some of their wondrous uses."
His tone carried a hint of satisfaction and composure, as if he had achieved something after going through hardships.
