Chapter 924: Chapter 450: Enlightenment, Primordial Dao_2
The Dao is inherently complex, profound, and full of true meanings. It was through ancient scriptures that Lu Yun began to gain an initial understanding of his own Dao.
In terms of the Dao, the Saber Cultivation which he had the deepest contact with initially was within his reach at any moment, should he choose to step into it.
However, like swordsmanship, Saber Cultivation represented an ultimate path which was not the ultimate Dao he sought.
Moreover, he had delayed in deciding which Dao to take as his own path, thus postponing the decision until now.
It wasn’t until he had made a breakthrough into the Unity Realm and, in Tai Yuan vein’s Lake of Thunder Power, tempered his body with Thunder Power during a fortuitous moment, that he managed to fuse Thunder Power, Divine Elephant Power, holy body power, and World Power into Thunder Divine Power, forming the embryonic shape of his own Dao.
...
As Lu Yun’s Dao took shape, the ancient scriptures on the Dao platform gradually closed and then slowly sank.
The Great Dao Anomaly, which had pervaded the empty palace, returned to silence, and the Dao platform seemed to transform into an ordinary stone platform, standing resolutely there.
“Flowers planted with intent do not blossom; willows planted without intent flourish with shade. Although I did not gain the ancient scriptures this time, I have used them to enlighten my own Dao,” Lu Yun mused aloud.
Lu Yun stood up and quietly left in another direction of the great hall.
Soon after his departure, a group arrived here, led by Pang Yan.
From a team of more than twenty people, only fifteen remained.
Clearly, nearly ten had failed the test and had completely fallen into the True Fire erupting from the pillars on both sides of the palace’s gateway.
“Boss, the Dao melody must have originated from here,” Tan Wei muttered, squinting as he surveyed the surroundings, noting that apart from an ordinary stone platform, the place was empty.
What was special was that there was mist everywhere in the great hall, yet it couldn’t approach this particular spot.
The only explanation was that some mysterious power existed here that prevented the mist from encroaching.
Pang Yan also scanned the area, his gaze ultimately resting on the distant stone platform. Ordinary as it seemed, it conveyed an inexplicable significance.
He had always been extremely confident in his instincts. Whether it was cultivating to the tenth layer of the True Spirit Realm as an unaffiliated cultivator or making it here without danger, it was all thanks to his incredibly accurate intuition.
Following his intuition, he walked slowly toward the stone platform.
Pang Yan’s actions attracted the attention of the others, who stopped and focused their gaze on him.
“Could it be that there’s a secret to this stone platform?” Tan Wei wondered aloud.
Qiu Hu beside him shook his head slightly but kept his eyes firmly on the platform, trying to discern any secrets it might hold.
Pang Yan, as well as Tan Wei and the others, had an inexplicable admiration and respect for Pang Yan.
Thud, thud!
Pang Yan walked up to the stone platform, tapping lightly upon it, creating a crisp sound.
Then, he circled the platform several times, examining every detail repeatedly, but to no avail.
He did not give up but continued to explore the secrets of the stone platform.
“The sound of the Dao cannot be faked, and before this, there was intense brightness shooting into the sky; from a distance, I felt an arcane presence that faintly stirred my consciousness—there must be some sort of secret here,” Pang Yan murmured, either convincing himself of his theory or trying to validate his intuition.
He attempted to cover the stone platform with his consciousness; his vast and boundless consciousness seemed to enter an abyss, stirring no ripples and quickly getting swallowed up.
Seeing this, Pang Yan’s expression froze.
Could it be that he had to infuse his consciousness into it?
This thought instantly appeared in Pang Yan’s mind.
The consciousness of the True Spirit Realm’s tenth layer had reached a terrifying extent. Under Pang Yan’s control, strands of refined and powerful consciousness flowed into the stone platform and were continuously absorbed.
Not enough.
Not enough.
Still not enough!
Pang Yan called out loudly without looking back, “Everyone come here and pour your consciousness into the platform.”
Tan Wei, Qiu Hu, and others heard and approached, casting their consciousness upon the stone platform and feeling a strong attraction.
The group was not alarmed but delighted.
At this moment, even the foolish could tell what this represented.
It was very likely that this was the fabled fortune and opportunity.
Therefore, they all worked very hard, watering the stone platform with their consciousness.
Time slowly passed, and the stone platform finally responded, with runes flowing and light bursting forth.
Such a development rendered it no longer ordinary, gradually transforming into a Dao platform.
“It’s working, push harder,” Tan Wei said joyously.
Joy appeared on everyone else’s faces as they released their consciousness without reservation.
Hum!
Suddenly, a heavy and profound Dao sound burst forth, resounding through the vast Palace.
Instantaneously, the light shone brightly, releasing a powerful force from the Dao platform that sent everyone flying backward.
Caught off guard, their consciousnesses were all heavily damaged, even Pang Yan was no exception.
On the Dao platform, the light shone intensely, runes flickered, and the Dao sound became even more resonant, echoing in the mind.
“Boss, look!”
Tan Wei pointed at the Dao platform, exclaiming in surprise.
As everyone looked, they heard a ‘boom’—the center of the Dao platform collapsed, and a column of light soared to the sky.
At the same time, the already distant Lu Yun felt a long-silent voice followed by a column of light rising to the heavens.
“As expected, they’ve found their way here, and they’ve also found a way to make the ancient scriptures reappear.”
Having previously resonated with the ancient scripture, Lu Yun knew some secrets.
Once someone had used it, the ancient scripture and the Dao platform that carried it must remain dormant for a while, and to recover, it would take at least half a month.
And yet, shortly after his departure, continuous Dao sounds and columns of light indicated that the group had found a method.
“The ancient scripture is quite special, utterly unapproachable; only in silent contemplation, listening, and resonating with it, can one possibly succeed, which still depends on personal talent and destiny, and the opportunities received also vary from person to person…”
“Normally, that Pang Yan should have all the gains. This way, they won’t leave that place in a short time, giving me more time to explore here.”
Lu Yun muttered to himself, then retracted his gaze and swiftly moved forward.
He felt that there were opportunities waiting for him to discover here.
This place was like a realm, vast and boundless. After moving forward for seven days and nights, he still hadn’t reached the other side of the Palace, nor had he encountered the so-called opportunities.
“It seems that the ancient scripture on the stone platform is the only opportunity within this great Palace,” Lu Yun sighed lightly.
Without even entering the core of the Heavenly End Secret Realm, to have found an opportunity to enlighten his own Dao was already considered an incredible fortune. To some extent, it had already satisfied him.
“Next, it’s time to think about how to leave this place…”
“Eh, that’s not right!”
Behind Lu Yun, another direction revealed a black battle platform, entirely dark in color, very large, and with a stone tablet on it that bore inscriptions in some fly-shaped characters.
“There definitely wasn’t a battle platform here just now.”
Lu Yun was utterly certain in his heart that it had formed in an instant.
He approached it and observed intently, taking in the fly-shaped characters on the stone stele – they were letters he recognized, explaining the meaning of this battle platform.
It was a battle platform that would appear in any corner of the Palace, meant for those fated to challenge it.
What constitutes the fated ones?
Those who can enter this Palace and gain the opportunity of the ancient scripture, finally seeing this battle platform.
Without enough fortune, even if one could gain the chance of obtaining the ancient scripture, they would not find this battle platform.
Even if it appeared before you, you would not be able to see it.
Finally, Lu Yun’s gaze fell upon the last line of small print.
“Dao of Thunder, Fivefold Heaven,” Lu Yun never expected that the reward would be a secret technique of the Dao of Thunder, closely related to the opportunity he had received from the ancient scripture.
“Is this fate or calculation?” his eyes flickered with an unusual Divine Light.
He had just enlightened his own Dao and immediately thereafter, a suitable secret technique was presented to him, which made him think deeply.
Curiosity temporarily overcame his rationality, and Lu Yun continued to examine the inscriptions.
Dao of Thunder, Fivefold Heaven, consists of five moves, extraordinarily powerful, and each interlinked with the others in an endless cycle, an excellent law for combat.
What do you think?
