The Immortal Seeker: Legend of Bronze Mirror-Chapter 900 - 418: The Finale

Within the Pure Yang Universe Map, at the Feather Transformation Platform atop Zhong Mountain Peak, it had now transformed into an independent Daoist field. Xu Qing's will imprint quietly floated, its brilliance restrained, yet it seemed like the absolute core of this new world.

Beneath the stage, Feng Wu, Xu Xuanhu, and the newly rescued, spirit-dimmed Chang Chunzi and Yu Yangzi, all looked solemn as they awaited his words.

In the center of the field, a dim blue light cluster, weak like a flickering candle in the wind and wrapped in gentle chaotic currents, quietly floated.

Inside the light cluster lay the True Spirit of Xu Qingzhu, who had fallen into the deepest silence, entwined with strands of gray desolate Tao Principle, resembling rust. This was the supreme curse from three Ancient Heavenly Realm giants, ruthlessly erasing her last traces of existence.

"Husband..." Feng Wu looked at the light cluster, her eyes filled with heartbreak, "Qingzhu, she..."

Xu Qing's will emitted a gentle wave, soothing her spirit: "Ah Wu, rest assured, as long as I'm here, Qingzhu would not truly face her end. However, this wound is not an ordinary Dao wound, but one tainted with the origin imprint of an Ancient Heavenly Realm giant, which ordinary means cannot entirely eradicate."

Everyone present felt their hearts sink. The power of even a single strand of origin imprint from an immortal existence was terrifying beyond the imagination of ordinary Da Luo.

"Father, what method do you intend to use to save Little Sister?" Xu Xuanhu stepped forward, his voice steady. He now wielded the Furnace of Eight Trigrams, his cultivation progressing each day, with an aura of the Ancestor Witch of the wild circulating around him, combined with his own immortal bloodline, emanating a unique tyrannical majesty.

"As long as Qingzhu's True Spirit is incorporated into the Investiture of the Gods, her Immortal Body can be reshaped. Although her path forward would be cut off, her life can be preserved."

This was indeed the most reliable and direct method at present. With Xu Qing's current status and the potential of the Pure Yang Universe Map, accomplishing the creation of the Investiture of the Gods and appointing a divine being to eternally enjoy the fortune of the Heavenly Court was as easy as flipping a hand.

Xu Xuanhu paused at this, "This, I'm afraid, won't work."

Although he hadn't spent much time with Xu Qingzhu, Xu Xuanhu knew her temperament well. If her path forward were severed, it would be no different from death to her.

Xu Qing nodded slightly, "I understand Qingzhu's thoughts, so this path is not chosen."

He spoke lightly.

But Chang Chunzi and the others could fully appreciate the weight of this statement.

To bypass the Investiture of the Gods and rescue Xu Qingzhu, the difficulty was unimaginably great.

Even for an immortal, success seemed unlikely. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

For the Daoist Monarch to abandon the easy route for a more challenging one for his daughter, it was truly moving.

This also demonstrated that Xu Qing's humanity still surpassed his Daoist Nature.

One couldn't tell if this was a good thing or a bad thing.

"Then...what does Father intend to do?" Xu Xuanhu asked.

"I have my own considerations." Within Xu Qing's Dao thought, the scene of the Taiyi Dao rotating endlessly emerged. Under absolute calculation ability and insight into causality, a path filled with endless peril, yet containing a glimmer of life, even one that might allow his daughter to break and then stand anew, was clearly deduced.

"Innate Willow Branch, Three Lights Divine Purification Bottle...Guanyin Bodhisattva..." As these names flowed out of Xu Qing's Dao thoughts, Chang Chunzi and Yu Yangzi both visibly changed their expressions.

"Daoist Monarch, absolutely not!" Chang Chunzi hurriedly said, "Although Guanyin is known as compassionate, her Taoist practice is unfathomable. Long before the Taiyi epoch, she was already an immortal existence. Her field, the Purple Bamboo Forest, is independent of Taixu, forming its own realm. It's said the purification bottle was bestowed by Yuanshi Tianzun at the Treasure Division Rock in ancient times, containing a realm of chaos, capable of holding all things; the Yangzhi Nectar, blended with Three Lights Divine Water and infused with her supreme Buddhist will power, is said to revive the dead, flesh white bones, and reshape the Dao Foundation in a single drop. How could such a supreme treasure be easily shown to others?"

Xu Qing looked at Chang Chunzi with meaningful intent, "Long Spring Daoist friend, how do you know so much about these matters?"

Chang Chunzi was momentarily stunned, not helping but feeling puzzled: "How do I know so much."

He immediately felt something peculiar about himself.

Xu Qing, however, did not continue down this path, solemnly saying, "Qingzhu's Dao wounds cannot be resolved without these items. Only by using the unparalleled vitality of the Yangzhi Nectar to wash away the Seal of Annihilation within her True Spirit, then using the Chaos Qi from the purification bottle to reshape her Daoist Body, can her foundation be fully restored, even...surpass the past."

What he didn't say was that in his deductions, this was more of an open scheme aimed at him, long orchestrated. Guanyin was likely waiting for him to come knocking from the beginning.

…

…

At the same time, deep in the Purple Bamboo Forest, atop Luojia Mountain.

Guanyin Bodhisattva was holding an Innate Willow Branch, gently dipping it into the Three Lights Divine Water from the purification bottle, enlightening a newly born lotus embodiment, which bore a striking seven-part resemblance to Xu Qingzhu.

Beside her, the Three Altars Sea Assembly God was chewing on a piece of grass, his big jet-black eyes idly watching Guanyin, boldly saying, "Bodhisattva, if you want to deal with this person, why go to such trouble? Let me join forces with Second Brother, and we can even take down Heaven for you."

As he spoke, he moved closer to Guanyin, pulling at her robe: "Why don't you let me out?"

Guanyin gently patted Nezha's hand with the Willow Branch, smiling, "Nezha, I went to great lengths to bring you back to life. I won't let you go out and get yourself killed again, so just stay put in the Purple Bamboo Forest."

Nezha's expression immediately drooped, "You might as well not have saved me then."

Guanyin laughed, "You naughty child, have some patience. When the immeasurable calamity begins, you'll have your chance to shine."

Nezha asked, "How long will that take?"

"Less than four hundred years."

Guanyin said, serenely.
