Chapter 405 Xu Qing proves his immortality here (Happy Dragon Boat Festival everyone)
"break!"
From the deep darkness that Xu Qing had transformed into, there came a voice of thought that seemed to come from the pre-primordial chaos!
This one point condensed all of Xu Qing's will, all of his remaining strength, and the "intention" of the ultimate understanding of the same origin of Nirvana and Taiyi, like the first axe light in the creation of the world, piercing out silently!
This is not an energy attack, nor a material attack, but an impact of Tao thoughts that goes straight to the source of the laws of the Tao!
This thought, containing the supreme truth that "Taiyi is the source of Nirvana, and can also embrace Nirvana", pierced into the core node of the Nirvana law at the projection of the black Bodhi tree with incredible precision!
laugh……
Like a hot knife cutting into solidified grease.
The indestructible and eternally silent black Bodhi tree, since its core node was pierced by the thought, its inky black trunk began to fade and melt silently like thick ink dropped into clear water!
There was no earth-shattering explosion, no torrent of energy dissipation.
The law of the Great Nirvana that constituted its projection seemed to have encountered an "instruction" of a higher level, and began to disintegrate and crumble on its own, transforming back into the most primitive, attributeless rhyme of the Great Nirvana, and finally... returned to the deep Taiyi darkness that Xu Qing had transformed into, and became part of its nutrients!
The absolute silence that enveloped the world receded like a tide. The empty darkness slowly shrank, and Xu Qing's figure re-condensed.
He still stood there, his face as pale as paper, his breath extremely weak, and his body even seemed a little illusory and transparent, as if it could be blown away by a gust of wind.
His hair had turned completely gray and his skin was covered with fine cracks, like porcelain that was about to break.
The colorful flying sword fell to the ground, its spiritual light had been completely lost, and it was covered with cracks, almost becoming ordinary iron.
However, his eyes were brighter and deeper than ever before!
Deep within those pupils, there seemed to be the darkness and silence before the creation of the universe, and it seemed as if the trajectory of the birth and death of all things flowed within them.
An indescribable aura, as if originating from "nothingness", lingered around him. Although it was weak, its essence was so profound that it made people's heart palpitate.
He slowly raised his hand, looking at his cracked, almost transparent palm, feeling the emptiness in his body, with almost no five elements of yin and yang magic power left, but with an indescribable "nothingness" origin that seemed to be able to embrace and annihilate all things.
"Nirvana... is too easy..., so that's how it is..."
He whispered, his voice hoarse, but with a calmness that came from someone who knew a great secret.
He bent down with difficulty and picked up the cracked multicolored flying sword. The sword was cold and its spirit was silent.
He took it into his body, and nurtured it with the faint origin of Ether that embraced new life after extinction.
I took one last look at the place where the black bodhi tree had disappeared, and there was only the purest nothingness.
Xu Qing took a deep breath, dragged his almost exhausted body but seemed to have been reborn, and stepped into the core light gate of the Fengdu Imperial Palace, which was so close and exuded endless temptation.
Behind him was a silence that seemed to last forever.
Ahead lies a dangerous and unknown destiny.
Go through the light gate.
Xu Qing's eyes suddenly opened up.
There was no grandeur as imagined, no strict guards, and no mountains of treasures.
The core of the Imperial Palace was filled with an indescribable silence and emptiness.
The void was not pure black, but rather a deep "darkness without light" that seemed to contain all the colors in the world. In the center of this void, an object was suspended.
An imperial robe.
It is not a dragon robe worn by an emperor, but is woven from a strange "principle" that is neither silk nor satin, nor gold nor jade. The robe is a deep black color, but it is covered with millions of tiny star-like lights, as if the reflection of the entire universe is embroidered on it.
The robe moved without wind, rising and falling slowly, and every rise and fall seemed to affect the breathing and heartbeat of countless living beings in the dark.
An indescribable supreme majesty that dominates the rise and fall of all things and controls the cycle of life and death emanates from it. Although it is not overbearing, it is as deep as an abyss and as heavy as the earth, making people involuntarily want to worship it.
"The Book of Life and Death... the embryo of the innate great way of life and death..." An unprecedented brilliance burst out from Xu Qing's weak and tired eyes.
He understood instantly that this was what he had sensed and what was so important to him!
This is not a book that records life and death, but the supreme Tao fetus born from the innate Tao of life and death. It is the authority itself that controls the three realms and six paths, and the cycle of life and death of all living beings!
What Emperor Fengdu left behind is the core of this avenue!
He dragged his almost broken body, staggering but moving unwaveringly towards the floating imperial robe.
With every step he took, the void seemed to ripple imperceptibly under his feet. The rhythm of life and death emanating from the imperial robe was like a perfectly suitable magnet, attracting the newborn Taiyi power in his body that was integrated with the origin of Nirvana.
When he finally stood in front of the imperial robe, he stretched out his cracked, almost transparent palm and touched the robe.
hum!
The entire silent void seemed to be shaken violently as if a huge rock was thrown into a lake!
The faint light like billions of stars suddenly shone brightly, completely enveloping Xu Qing!
The boundless torrent of information, mixed with endless images of the birth and death of living beings, and reincarnation, poured madly into Xu Qing's sea of consciousness like a cosmic river bursting its banks!
That is the eternal accumulation and authority of the Innate Great Way of Life and Death!
He felt as if he had transformed into the universe itself. A single thought could give birth to galaxies and the sprouting of all living things; a single thought could also cause the world to wither and all living things to return to silence!
At the same time, the emperor's robe automatically decomposed and flowed like a living thing, turning into the purest origin of the Great Dao of Life and Death, like a warm chaotic airflow, wrapping around Xu Qing's broken body.
This origin of life and death, containing the most powerful creation of "life" and the end of "death", began to frantically repair his foundation that was almost destroyed by extinction, nourish his exhausted spirit, and mend his cracked body.
But Xu Qing did not accept it passively.
Under the deduction of Taiyi Dao, he clearly felt that although this Dao Fetus of Life and Death was powerful, it was not his end.
What he needs to do is not to inherit, but to surpass!
He wanted to use Taiyi as the foundation and his own understanding as fuel to melt this embryo of life and death into the cornerstone of his eternal and indelible Dao fruit.
"it's time."
His mind moved, and although most of his body was destroyed by annihilation, there was still a trace of the original true meaning of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements that was completely stimulated.
The five colors of blue, red, yellow, white and black, representing the vitality of the five elements, and the black and white energy of the rotation of yin and yang, burst out from his broken soul like the light of creation at the beginning of the world.
This is not an attack, but an opening up.
Under the guidance of his thoughts, the five-colored light and the yin and yang energies, like the most dexterous shuttle, actively integrated into the origin of life and death transformed by the emperor's robe, and were accurately injected and anchored in the core area of the vast "life" Tao.
Boom!
It was as if chaos had just begun and the universe was born.
The idea of "life" which originally contained only the vitality of nature, underwent a qualitative change in an instant with the integration of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements.
It is no longer just about repairing and nourishing, but has the supreme power of creation and evolution.
The rotation of the Five Elements gives birth to all things; the interaction of Yin and Yang gives rise to all living things.
In Xu Qing's body, the Five Elements foundation and the Yin-Yang balance that had been wiped out by annihilation were reborn and grown at an incredible speed under the nourishment of this new "Great Way of Life" that integrated the true meaning of the Yin-Yang and Five Elements.
Moreover, it is more stable, more flexible, and closer to the origin of the Tao than ever before.
His broken body was like a dead tree coming back to life, the cracks quickly healed, his gray hair glowed black again, his dry skin became plump and translucent, exuding vitality.
Immediately afterwards, a sharp light flashed in Xu Qing's eyes.
He mobilized all the strongest power of the end that he had realized and experienced.
Then, in the bronze mirror, various enlightenment information about the four great ways of ending began to flash. Five Elements Immortal-Exterminating Sword Intention: The intention of killing everything comes from the withering of the five elements and the return of all things to silence.
The true meaning of the innate great way of destruction: the overbearing power that is comprehended from the projection of Taoist Master Shenxiao, which can reduce people's cultivation, destroy laws and souls, and end existence.
The true meaning of the Great Way of Innate Freezing: learned from the projection of the Moon God, it freezes time and space, the soul, and thoughts, causing all things to return to absolute stillness and icy cold.
The true meaning of the Great Way of Innate Nirvana: After fighting life and death with the projection of Bodhi Daozu, the final assimilation and enlightenment leads to the supreme end of erasing existence and returning to ultimate nothingness.
These four terrifying avenues representing the "end" of different dimensions and levels were forcibly blended together under Xu Qing's command of the Eternal Change Avenue, like four unruly world-destroying beasts.
They collided, bit, and merged with each other, and finally turned into an indescribable force that seemed to be able to end all concepts, all possibilities, and all existence - the ultimate death intention.
This ultimate death intent that was a fusion of the Four Absolute Great Daos was taken by Xu Qing without hesitation, like cold iron thrown into a furnace, and penetrated fiercely into the vast and profound core of the Dao of "death" in the origin of life and death of the emperor's robe.
hum!
The entire void instantly fell into absolute silence and coldness.
It is colder than the icy hell and more despairing than extinction and nothingness.
The way of "death" underwent a horrific transformation after integrating the true meanings of the Four Absolutes.
It is no longer just the end of life, but has been sublimated into the end of all things, the erasure of existence, and the return of the Great Way.
Its power was so great that it even caused the madly growing principle of "life" to stagnate.
Life and death, two forces that were extremely strengthened by Xu Qing through different avenues, formed an unprecedented sharp opposition in the origin of the imperial robe.
The creation and opening of life, the end and return of death, like two roaring ancient dragons, colliding and tearing wildly in Xu Qing's body and the origin of the imperial robe.
If the imperial robe itself was not made of an innate Taoist material, and if Xu Qing's body was not being repaired by a powerful life force at this moment, he would probably have been torn into pieces in an instant by this horrific opposition.
"The Great Changes are a bridge that connects life and death, transcending birth and death."
In the deepest part of Xu Qing's soul, the Taiyi true meaning that had experienced the tempering of Nirvana, integrated with the origin of Nirvana, and transformed and sublimated in essence, exploded.
This time, the true meaning of Taiyi is no longer simply "nothingness", but after embracing the "nothingness of Nirvana", it has reached a more mysterious realm - chaos has not yet begun, primordial chaos has not yet been determined, everything is nothing, but it contains the opportunity of birth and death.
The true meaning of Taiyi turned into an invisible and intangible but real "bridge", instantly penetrating the violently opposing avenues of "life" and "death".
There is no forced reconciliation, no suppression or elimination.
The true meaning of Taiyi is like the most tolerant mother, like a cradle that breeds everything, embracing, accepting and carrying the two completely opposite and extremely powerful forces of life and death at the same time.
Under Taiyi's tolerance, the boundary between life and death began to blur.
The end of life is death, and the end of death can also be life.
Creation is accompanied by destruction, and the end gives birth to new life.
They are no longer absolute opposites, but two indispensable sides of a complete cycle and a grand universe.
Rumble!
Within Xu Qing's body, the origin of life and death transformed from the imperial robe, together with the great way of life and death that he had integrated and strengthened himself, began the final and natural fusion under the command of Taiyi.
A miniature, extremely mysterious vortex of chaos formed in his dantian.
In the vortex, there is no longer chaotic energy, but the purest origin of "life" and the end of "death" intertwined and rotating, forming a perfectly balanced and eternally flowing Tai Chi diagram.
The white of life and the black of death are no longer clearly defined, but you are in me and I am in you. In the chaotic background of Taiyi, they coexist harmoniously and transform into each other.
At this moment, Xu Qing felt that his existence had undergone a fundamental leap.
His body, soul, magic power, and even every tiny particle that constitutes his existence are completely integrated into this new chaotic birth and death fruit of the cycle of life and death, which is governed by Taiyi.
Thousands of calamities are befall him, and he goes through the cycle of birth and death, but his fruit of the Tao remains undiminished.
Frozen? In the Chaos Life and Death Dao Fruit, the end of "death" already contains the true meaning of frozen, which can be easily resolved.
Destruction? The Dao fruit circulates, and life and death never cease. The power of destruction is also incorporated into the cycle of "death" and becomes nutrients.
Nirvana? The core of the Tao Fruit is Taiyi Chaos, and Nirvana is just one of its states. Its existence itself cannot be erased!
Indestructible forever!
Xu Qing slowly opened his eyes.
The imperial robe on his body had disappeared, or rather, it had been completely integrated into his new Taoist body.
He was naked at the moment, his skin was as smooth as jade, and exuded a warm and restrained luster, as if it contained infinite vitality, but also seemed to be filled with eternal silence.
His eyes were extremely deep. In the pupil of his left eye there seemed to be the birth and death of galaxies and the reproduction of all things; in the pupil of his right eye, there was a reflection of the falling of stars and the end of the universe.
Two completely opposite artistic conceptions are perfectly unified and coexist harmoniously in him.
He raised his hand lightly, a wisp of chaotic air swirled around his fingertips. As his mind moved slightly, the air sometimes turned into a ray of creation containing endless vitality, nourishing all things; sometimes it turned into a cold light of extinction that froze time and space and ended everything; sometimes it returned to the most primitive and inclusive Taiyi chaos.
He felt the eternal flow, the cycle of birth and death, and the chaotic fruit of the universe in his body.
All external attacks, disasters, and consumption, whether physical, energetic, or targeting the primordial spirit and Dao foundation, as long as their power cannot surpass the Dao Fruit itself, which is a self-contained universe, subject to the cycle of birth and death and indestructible through all calamities, will be contained, decomposed, and transformed, and eventually become part of the nutrients for the operation of the Dao Fruit!
The thin black divine dog was led in by a gentle force. It looked at the Taoist priest in front of it, whose aura was as deep as the ocean and who seemed to be integrated with the laws of the entire universe. It was so excited that its whole body trembled, and it prostrated itself on the ground, whimpering with submission.
It had seen such an aura before.
The Taoist priest in front of him finally embarked on the path that Ksitigarbha once walked.
Even judging from the flow of Taoism, the Taoist priest's potential seems to be even more amazing than that of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
Xu Qing's gaze penetrated the void, as if he saw outside the Fengdu Imperial Palace, the Three Realms and Six Paths, and the birth, aging, sickness and death of all living beings.
As his mind moved, a black robe similar to the previous imperial robe, but more simple and restrained, as if naturally condensed from the principles of life and death, covered him.
From then on, the authority of the Book of Life and Death belonged to him, and he had escaped the constraints of the Book of Life and Death, achieving eternal invincibility.
Only by reaching this step can one be qualified to become a true giant of the heavens who spans the eternal ages and pursue the supreme and ultimate realm of "Taozu".
"Let's go." Xu Qing's voice was calm, but it contained the majesty of dominating all living things.
He took a step forward, bringing with him the thin black divine dog, and his figure disappeared into the depths of the Fengdu Imperial Palace.
...
...
And in the voids of all the heavens, myriad worlds, the three realms and six paths, all kinds of time and space, and all kinds of hidden places, astonishing visions began to emerge.
"This is a vision of the great way that has been witnessed by someone and will never be erased."
Deep in the ruins of heaven, on the bank of the Milky Way, an ancient immortal began to exclaim as he looked at the huge Taoist elephant rising from the end of the Milky Way.
