The Immortal Seeker: Legend of Bronze Mirror-Chapter 877 - 406: The Dao Resonates Throughout the Cosmos, Astonishing All Heavens

Countless mysterious and unfathomable runes embodying the ultimate truths of Life and Death Reincarnation and Chaos Taiyi burst forth from the depths of Taixu like golden tadpoles, resembling flowing stars.

They disregarded spatial distances, time barriers, and dimensional walls, sweeping across every corner of All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds like an invisible tide.

Mountains, rivers, plants, insects, fish, mortals, cultivators... anything with spirituality instantly heard that silent "Dao Sound" pointing directly at their origin.

This sound did not teach specific Cultivation Techniques but expounded on the supreme truths of "Life and Death Reincarnation," "Embracing Annihilation," "Transcending Life and Death," and "Self-Creation of Universe."

Though not enlightenment, it was enough to enlighten countless cultivators stuck at bottlenecks, giving direction to lost souls.

This was the Great Dao announcing the birth of a new "Seed of Taoist Ancestor," capable of influencing the structure of the ages, its Dao Rhyme capable of enlightening the universe.

...

...

Such a world-shaking, unprecedented Great Dao phenomenon ignited the entire All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds!

In the ruins of the Heaven, by the Heavenly River.

An exclamation came from an Ancient Immortal, with hair and beard all white, Daoist Robe in tatters, eyes full of disbelief and ecstasy: "Immortal! Truly Immortal! And... this phenomenon... Chaos Great Sun, Guanghan Dead Moon, Four Symbols World Annihilation, Shenxiao Worship Dao, Ten Thousand Immortals Pilgrimage, Dao Spreads to the Universe... Six Phenomena appear together.

This is simply rare across ages.

Bigger and deeper than the 'Hell is empty, Buddhist Light shines' phenomenon triggered when Ksitigarbha attained Dao. This... this newly ascended Daoist friend, their Dao Fruit foundation is magnificent, potential terrifying, simply... simply..." He was too excited to speak, tears glistened in his cloudy old eyes, "Though Heaven is broken, the Great Dao persists. The Heavenly Court has successors, has successors!"

He deeply felt, behind these Great Dao phenomena, the supreme authority pointing directly at Life and Death Reincarnation, which would cause the "Heavenly Emperor's" power to descend upon the world again.

...

...

In the depths of Taixu, Spirit Mountain's Daoist Hall.

The solemn chant of the Buddha momentarily paused.

On the Lotus Platform, phantom images of dignified Buddha Bodhisattvas appeared, seemingly stepping out from the past. The wisdom halos behind the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas slightly fluctuated, becoming more real.

From beneath the central Great Buddha, a Bodhisattva with a face compassionate yet infinitely profound slowly opened their eyes, gazing as if penetrating the pure land of Spirit Mountain to reach the heart of the Life and Death Reincarnation phenomenon, lightly sighed, their voice lingering in the silent Buddha hall: "Annihilation is not emptiness, Taiyi inclusive... Life and death reincarnation, self-creation of universe... this path has indeed touched upon the edge of our Buddha's true essence of Annihilation Nirvana... Well done, well done. Yet, this road... blessings or misfortunes, hard to predict."

The tone held a trace of admiration, a trace of gravity, and an indescribable subtlety.

The Buddhist sect had the deepest understanding of "Annihilation," Xu Qing using "Annihilation" as one of the cornerstones to achieve Immortality, the essence of his Dao Fruit was already enough to draw the attention and reflection from the core existence of Spirit Mountain.

The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas were shocked, but the Great Buddha was silent.

Spirit Mountain quickly fell into dead silence again, turning into ruins.

At this moment, an incomparably deep sword mark actually divided Spirit Mountain into two.

...

...

Within the depths of a cold and silent ocean, in a grand palace built from Ancient Cold Ice and Star Bones.

Giant eyes seemingly containing the endless scene of star domains' extinction suddenly opened, a greedy and burning gaze penetrating layer upon layer of void, fixated on the phenomenon of Chaos Great Sun and Four Symbols World Annihilation.

"Immortal... Good! What a Chaos Birth and Death. To actually integrate the power of the Four Symbols' End. This Dao Fruit Origin is of immeasurable use for me in comprehending Chaos and completing the River Map and Luo Book. This is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me to advance further."

The voice of the palace owner was filled with blazing greed.

...

...

The ancestral Taoist temple of the Taoist Sect and the remaining projection of the Thirty-Three Heavens.

From the remaining silhouettes of ancient Daoist temples maintained by Supreme Daoist Rhyme came long sighs and intense clashes of Divine Thought.

"With Chaos as a foundation, dominating Life and Death, transcending Annihilation... this child's path already has the initial form of 'Infinite'! This is a blessing to our Taoist orthodox lineage."

"Hmph! Orthodox? The destruction, Frozen Extinction, and Annihilation force contained in its Dao Fruit is so fierce. Additionally, the phenomenon of Shenxiao Worship Dao evidently shows forcibly suppressing or even devouring part of the Innate Destruction Authority. Such a tyrannical plundering path, how can it be the path of Quiet and Non-action? Fear it will become a source of disaster."

"Three Thousand Great Dao, all paths lead to the same goal. Its Taiyi inclusive nature secretly aligns with the true meaning of the Taoist Ancestor's 'Non-action and Non-action.' Its achievement of Immortality is favored by the Great Dao, a cause for celebration!"

"If only my disciple Yang Jian were still here, we Yuxu lineage could also have such an Inheritor."

In the ancient Daoist temple's shadows, other ancient Daoists remained silent.

Yang Jian broke off and left, severing the past, no longer a Yuxu Disciple, nor a member of the Taoist Sect.

But who can be blamed?

...

...

In the depths of the endless Blood Sea with monstrous blood waves, a roar filled with anger and a hint of imperceptible fear echoed: "Immortal? This aura... it's coming from that damned Fengdu Emperor Palace's direction. Who is it? Who has taken the Daoist Embryo of the Book of Life and Death? This Dao Rhyme of Life and Death Reincarnation... it actually faintly suppresses my Blood Sea Immortal Path. And that Frozen Death Intent... it's even purer and more terrifying than that Taiyin witch back then. These Heavens seem to be in upheaval again. Could it be the ancestor's opportunity?"

The master of the Blood Sea felt an unprecedented threat, and that Ultimate Death Intent made even his prideful Blood God Sons feel waves of cold. Meanwhile, he deeply realized that the timing for proving the Primordial Infinite Dao, unattainable for an era, had come again.

This time, he would never hand over the opportunity.

...

...

The Great Dao phenomena successively emerged, reaching the step where Dao Spreads to the Universe.

In the Mortal World of All Heavens, besides cultivators corresponding to the Dao, other cultivators also encountered an astonishing opportunity.

At this moment, countless cultivators, regardless of cultivation level, stopped their activities early and gazed up at the sky, hearts and souls drawn by the omnipresent Great Dao phenomena reaching directly to their souls.

Low-level cultivators were left bewildered, feeling that the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth seemed clearer yet deeper and more unfathomable; Golden Core and Nascent Soul Cultivators gained insights, their bottlenecks subtly loosening; and some top Loose Immortals and Earth Immortals showed expressions of ecstasy or shock.

"The Manifestation of Saint! This is the Manifestation of Saint!"

"Such phenomena... unheard of. Is this an ancient mighty being resurrecting? Or... has someone taken that step?!"

"Quick! Comprehend quickly! This is a once-in-ten-thousand-years opportunity!"

"The Dao Spreads to the Universe... This sound... it's as if narrating the supreme truth of the world's birth and death..."

True cultivators with Daoist lineage and Loose Cultivators alike felt as if bathed in sweet rain.

This final phenomenon of "Dao Spreads to the Universe" treated every living being equally.

A scene of all species competing freely under the frosty sky of all the heavens unfolded.

Yet only a few truly understood that the appearance of Dao Spreads to the Universe meant that the contention for the new Taoist Ancestor in the new epoch had reached its most heated stage.

Furthermore, ancient inheritors realized that the emergence of a new Taoist Ancestor would inevitably herald the opening of a new epoch, and the end of this epoch would soon come.

"Hmph, don't think that with a new Taoist Ancestor, All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds will improve in the new epoch. It's just a change of those in power remaining aloft." Someone sneered incessantly.

From the birth of this world, inequality has existed.

Disputes and killings were born from this.

All Taoist Ancestors attempted to resolve the disputes in All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds.

From the very beginning of the Origin Universe, they continually sought solutions, thus causing Dao to give birth to one, one to give birth to two, two to give birth to three, and three to give birth to myriad worlds.

This also led to the emergence of the Multi-universe.

But instead of solving disputes and killings, they only intensified.

One universe broke down after another, one epoch perished after another, each with a greater intensity than before.

Finally, the Taoist Ancestors realized that the true root of trouble was themselves.

The Three Pure Ones, as the initial Taoist Ancestors, severed their Great Dao, attempting to return everything to "nothing."

This was the critical step for the Three Pure Taoist Ancestors to transcend the Multi-universe.

No one knew if they succeeded or not.

But since then, the Three Pure Taoist Ancestors were no longer a real existence, but rather a term for a Realm.
