The Immortal Seeker: Legend of Bronze Mirror-Chapter 783 - 355: Daluo Wuxiang, Taiyi Has Form

Moreover, with the precedent of Shakyamuni, True Martial did not disappear after this incident, further enhancing the value of True Martial.

That is the only True God that even Shakyamuni could not send away!

After this incident, in everyone’s minds, True Martial was clearly ranked slightly above the ancestors of the Four Great Daoist Sects.

Of course, the ancestor of the Supreme Dao Sect had long disappeared, and it was not that Shakyamuni sent him away.

However, with the foundation of the Furnace of Eight Trigrams, the position of Supreme Dao as the absolute overlord of the Taixu is indeed unshakable.

But this time, True Martial’s direct challenge to the Supreme Dao Sect made many of the Immortal Sects attending the Dao Discussion and God Destruction Conference feel a sense of unease in their hearts.

Of course, apart from the Pure Yang Dao Sect, other Immortal Sects were merely vassals of the various Daoist Sects, purely there to make up the numbers.

To put it bluntly, they were just there for the atmosphere.

Seeing the crowd fall silent, True Martial smiled and said, "Since no one objects, I will talk about the rules of this Dao Discussion and God Destruction Conference."

Wuxiang Daoist couldn’t hold back and retorted, "The Dao Discussion and God Destruction Conference has always been about comparing Taoist Practice and cultivation, where disciples temper themselves here, and after seven years, we assess the achievements of each one’s Dao Heart. This process of Inquiry Dao and testing one’s heart is already mature, what more rules are needed?"

True Martial smiled indifferently, "In terms of Taoist Practice and cultivation, can any of you compare to me?"

With this remark, everyone fell silent.

The Seven Saints of Bodhi couldn’t help but twitch slightly at the corners of their mouths.

If this was before Shakyamuni’s time, these words wouldn’t even be uttered by you, True Martial.

However, it’s hard to say.

After all, True Martial was not sent away by Shakyamuni, which added a lot of value.

Previously, no one knew who was the top existence, who was higher, who was lower. With Shakyamuni as the touchstone, many things became clear.

Seeing that no one was speaking up, Wuxiang Daoist couldn’t fight alone and said, "What do you propose?"

True Martial said, "The Spirit Platform Star Sea buries the Yin Ruins; the land beneath us is the membrane of the Yin Ruins. Surely you all know, whether it’s the Spirit Platform Star Sea or the Yin Ruins beneath our feet, they are fragments of another universe."

"So what?"

For these great figures, the existence of other universes outside the Taixu Universe is not a secret. Moreover, those who are at the Daluo Integration can clearly feel that the boundary of the Taixu Universe is constantly expanding, absorbing fragments from other universes, making the Taixu Universe extremely unstable.

Thus, each time the Taixu Universe’s great calamity is born, it is related to these matters.

In fact, some part of these great figures, whether it’s consciousness, True Spirit, or bloodline, comes from other universes.

It can also be said that this part is the other self of Daluo or Taiyi.

Daluo is the path of inclusion, refining the other self completely.

Thus, the essence of Daluo is also part of The Three Pure Ones.

The Three Pure Ones is not any "name" but a phenomenon of existence.

It is named as The Three Pure Ones, yet it is not The Three Pure Ones.

Taiyi, on the other hand, is about firming one’s self, whatever is cultivated is oneself.

Thus, the Dao of Taiyi is difficult precisely at this point.

To continually purify one’s nature, to break the illusions, to view those "other selves" as eternal spirits in tribulation.

In fact, the upper echelons of the Four Great Daoist Sects know that The Three Pure Ones’ path pervades the All Heavens and Universe. In some worlds, a Heavenly Immortal dares to call themselves The Three Pure Ones, while in some universes, a snap of the fingers can destroy the Taixu Universe, yet they don’t dare claim to be The Three Pure Ones.

However, The Three Pure Ones does not measure importance by reverence, nor get examined by number; it’s merely a "name."

Anyone can be, anyone is not.

In contrast, in the All Heavens and Universe, the Dao of Taiyi appears as an anomaly.

Even if one attains achievements, it’s not necessarily superior to some Daluo who have received the lineage of The Three Pure Ones.

It is simply a different personal choice.

Or one could say, Daluo Wuxiang, all are The Three Pure Ones.

Taiyi has form.

This is the contest between having and not having.

Therefore, Wuxiang Daoist’s name is well chosen, revealing the mysteries of Daluo.

True Martial cast his gaze over the crowd and slowly raised his right hand, saying, "Then this Dao Discussion and God Destruction Conference shall be as I say."

In his palm appeared a bronze compass, engraved with the ancient seal characters "Lianshan" and "Guizang," but the center has a blank space.

"Within the Yin Ruins, the Yin Shang used the Guizang Yi to communicate with ghosts and spirits, and the Western Zhou obtained the Lianshan Yi to comprehend the Heavenly Secret." True Martial’s voice was like a great bell, resonating in the Star Sea, "Now King Zhou is deducing the Zhou Yi, intending to merge the Three Yi into one, achieving the Taiyi Dao."

With his words, phantom images of two camps appeared on the compass. In the Yin Shang camp, the Mystic Bird Totem blocked out the sky and the sun, while priests burned turtle shells on the altar; within the Western Zhou camp, the Eight Diagrams enveloped all directions, Qi Refiners were breathing in and out nature’s spiritual energy.

Wuxiang Daoist frowned, "What do you mean, True Martial Daoist..."

"Very simple." True Martial put away the compass, "The disciples of each sect may choose their own camp and assist one side in comprehending the Taiyi Dao. Ultimately, the sect whose disciples help their camp obtain the essence of the Taiyi Dao will be ranked among the Four Great Daoist Sects."

Upon hearing this, the faces of the Seven Saints of Bodhi changed abruptly. The leading Yi Xin said in a deep voice, "True Martial Daoist, are you intending to remove my Bodhi Dao Sect?"

True Martial said calmly, "Yi Xin Daoist, you overthink. If the Bodhi disciples help their camp win, of course, they can maintain their status. However..." his gaze swept over the members of the Bodhi Dao Sect, "As far as I know, the Bodhi Dao Sect has indeed been lacking in talents in recent years. If there’s no notable performance during this Dao Discussion and God Destruction Conference, the name of the Four Great Daoist Sects might not suit them."

Guo Taiyue of the Five Elders of the Heavenly River laughed loudly, "True Martial Daoist’s words are reasonable! We, the lineage of the Heavenly River, are willing to assist the Yin Shang in comprehending Lianshan Yi!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the three thousand disciples behind him took a step forward in unison, their bodies surrounded by mist forming into the shape of Mystic Birds. Xu Qingzhu stood at the forefront, holding a Mystic Bird Flag that had appeared in her hand sometime unnoticed.

On the side of the Supreme Dao Sect, Wuxiang Daoist frowned, but said coldly, "True Martial Daoist, in that case, my Supreme Dao Sect shall assist the Western Zhou in comprehending the Guizang Yi!" Eighty-one Jade Talismans flew from him sleeve, forming an Eight Diagrams Array in mid-air.

True Monarch Yuyang looked at True Monarch Changchun and saw the latter slightly nodding, so he said, "In that case, we of the Pure Yang Dao Sect will aid Yin Shang in comprehending Lianshan Yi!"

Li Qing, standing among the Pure Yang disciples, noticed Xu Qingzhu glancing at him from time to time, and realized with uncertainty that she had sensed the predestined connection, yet she still pretended to be indifferent.

The Seven Saints of Bodhi discussed for a moment, and the Venerable Tianxin said helplessly, "The Bodhi Dao Sect...chooses the Western Zhou camp."

True Martial calmly said, "Yi Xin Daoist, you worry too much. Besides, I know that the Bodhi Dao Sect has been lacking in talent in recent years. If there is no notable performance in this Dao Discussion and God Destruction Conference, it is indeed not worthy of the name of the Four Great Daoist Sects."

True Martial raised his hand and released a beam of golden light, and thirty-six Bronze Dao Platforms lit up simultaneously, "Now, all of you prepare to enter the Yin Ruins space-time. You must understand that the Spirit Platform Star Sea and the Yin Ruins are ultimately fragments of another universe, and when the Taixu Universe absorbs these fragments to expand itself, its level of power evokes the great calamity of the Taixu Universe. Hence, the Taiyi Dao is of utmost importance, and everyone must act with integrity and diligence."

As the golden light descended, Li Qing only felt a sudden flash before his eyes, and when he opened them again, he was already standing amidst numerous priests surrounding the altar in the Yin Ruins.

"King Zhou of Great Zhou, who sought to steal the Lianshan Yi from the Yin Dynasty, today you will be sacrificed as blood food to the Mystic Bird, the ancestor of Great Yin."

Li Qing discovered that King Zhou, an elderly man with white hair and a gentle demeanor, was already trapped at the center of the altar by the Great Yin.

What madness, a heaven-sent opening?

At first, when he saw that the Pure Yang Dao Sect chose Great Yin, he did not think it was a good thing, but he did not expect to have such a huge advantage from the start?

King Zhou, trapped in the center of the altar, was an elderly man with an elegant and gentle demeanor. He slowly spoke, "Seeking to steal the Lianshan Yi to deduce the Zhou Yi, and merge the Three Yi to reach the Taiyi Dao to save us."

He sighed gently and said, "I’ve already failed thirty thousand nine hundred and sixty-nine times, if I fail again this time, our True Spirit will be eternally doomed here."
