My Dreams Connect to Ancient Times-Chapter 187 - 32: The Terrifying Three Purities Temple Master, One Word to Slay Cause and Effect

Chapter 187: Chapter 32: The Terrifying Three Purities Temple Master, One Word to Slay Cause and Effect

The majestic and ethereal voice did not ring in the ears.

Instead, it rippled forth from the depths of the heart, from the deepest parts of one’s Soul and True Spirit. It rose from below, bit by bit, suffusing the entire body before echoing and resonating within the skull.

In that instant, whether one was born deaf, a member of an Alien Race who spoke a different tongue, a newborn infant still wailing, or even a small cat licking its wounds or a hog sound asleep in a sty.

At this moment, they all heard, understood, and thoroughly grasped the meaning of these eight words.

"All you myriad living beings, now hear my words!"

Like a monstrous tidal wave coming to an instant halt, a hush fell across the thirty-three Provinces of the East Continent.

Whether they were netizens bickering online or the toiling masses endlessly busy in the real world, everyone stopped what they were doing and began to listen in silence, unable to help themselves.

In a certain city, Li Xiaosang, who was in the middle of a covert mission, flinched. She paused her work and looked up in confusion.

She gazed at the vast night sky. Her restless mind grew calm and tranquil, soothed by the powerful, majestic, and boundlessly deep yet indifferent voice. She involuntarily assumed a posture of utmost respect as she listened.

At Longque Technology, Yan Huang was shaken. He instinctively looked at the live media broadcast on his screen, which showed the Simple Daoist School, looking dim, shadowy, and immeasurably deep.

On Dragon Tiger Mountain, the Old Celestial Master, deep in secluded meditation, abruptly opened his eyes. A brilliant golden radiance first erupted from his side, illuminating the night sky above the mountain.

Then, the golden radiance subsided. He focused his concentration and muttered to himself,

’This voice... does it originate from Cause and Effect? From the shared Cause and Effect of being "human," and from the faint Cause and Effect of existing beneath the same Celestial Vault... This kind of technique...’

At Sakata Heavy Industries Headquarters, the smiles on the faces of Sakata Shindo and the Little Monk, who had been calmly playing their game, instantly froze. Both of their expressions changed drastically.

In the next instant, Sakata Shindo, holding a black stone, froze with his hand hovering over the board. He hesitated to make his move, muttering as if to himself, yet also asking a question:

"What... is going on?"

"A Great Power? A titan? Or a Grand Grade?" The Little Monk’s mind was also reeling. The higher one’s Cultivation, the more one understood just how terrifying, how utterly absurd it was for that magnificent voice to resound from the depths of the True Spirit.

Both of them unconsciously held their breath and even adopted reverent postures, as if they were listening to a Decree from a Celestial Venerable.

After only a moment, that profound and boundless voice continued, ringing out loud and clear from the depths of the True Spirit and Soul of every person, and even every living animal, in the East Continent!!

"I am the Sanqing Temple Master."

Zhuge Ke, who had been listening to the Daoist voice, staggered. A look of terrified comprehension—’It’s just as I thought’—appeared on his face, only to be immediately replaced by ecstatic joy.

’Sanqing Temple Master... Sanqing Temple Master!’

Not far away, Chong Shanhu, who had been lying in bed, shot upright. As he listened to the grand voice resounding in the depths of his soul, he began to tremble. A chill ran down his spine, and his entire body quaked, from his bones to the very tips of his hair!

This was not out of fear, but a simple palpitation of his spirit—it was utter ecstasy!

At the same time, those who were able to instinctively turned to the live broadcasts. Their eyes were fixed on the deep, mysterious Daoist School, on the ancient plaque hanging above it, and on the two words written there, filled with an ancient charm.

Sanqing Temple.

Sakata Shindo did the same. He opened his phone, tapped on a random app, and the home page immediately showed live broadcasts from various media outlets, all pushed by Longque Technology. ’...Wait, Longque Technology??’

The realization struck both of them at once. A chill ran through their hearts as they were filled with a terrible premonition!

Just then, the Daoist voice rose again, continuous and unending, washing over the soul with deafening, enlightening power.

"With the humility of a junior, at this very moment, under the bright moon, I hereby proclaim to all living beings of the East Continent."

"Sakata Heavy Industries has acted perversely, using threats and coercion to control the officials of the thirty-three Provinces. They commit evil deeds, subvert the law, and break all rules..."

The color drained from Sakata Shindo’s face.

At that moment, on a bustling street in Langya City, the gates to the Daoist School swung wide open as if pushed by an unseen wind!

Every camera immediately swiveled to the open gates, their lenses zooming down the straight path to clearly capture the scene inside the building!

Countless people now saw the scene inside the Daoist School.

Amidst a profound darkness, three bronze statues stood shrouded in a hazy, indistinct mist, exuding an aura of immensity, grandeur, and sanctity.

Beneath the bronze statues, an old man sat quietly in a cross-legged position. His eyes were downcast, his long beard drifted gently, and before him rested a Cyan Lamp.

The Cyan Lamp burned eternally, its candlelight flickering. Within the flame, some sort of image seemed to roil, though it was impossible to see clearly.

Above the old man’s head floated an illusory Dharma Aspect. Though blurry and indistinct, it conveyed a sense of infinite height, boundless size, and immeasurable majesty.

The illusory Dharma Aspect was clearly present in the Current World, captured by every camera and witnessed by countless people across the East Continent.

And yet, it also seemed to exist at an infinite height, from a time before the Creation of Heaven and Earth. Everyone who gazed upon this Dharma Aspect found different images and scenes inexplicably materializing in their minds.

Some saw the creation of heaven and earth, others the separation of Yin and Yang, the birth of all living things, or the rise and fall of All Realms and the Celestial Realms. Each vision was unique; no two were the same.

GULP!!

An untold number of people swallowed hard in that very same instant.

And as the live broadcast showed, the old man—seated beneath the three hazy bronze statues, before the mysterious Cyan Lamp, and with the incredible Dharma Aspect above his head—softly parted his lips and began to speak.

The vast Daoist voice rose once more, resounding through every True Spirit and all Three Souls and Seven Spirits.

"Regarding Sakata Heavy Industries—while their actions may not have deceived Heaven, they have deceived the millions of common people. And are the people not more precious than Heaven? Thus, I make this proclamation to the masses, so that the living beings of the East Continent may not be led astray."
