Episode 66: The Great Dao Sacred Sound, Murderous Intent Revealed, Sealing God Platform!
It's not hard to imagine that countless eons ago, innumerable ancient gods and demons swarmed one after another into the Golden Ancient Temple, where an unimaginable horrific war broke out. In the end, the vast majority of the ancient gods and demons fell here, and only one unknown successfully broke through the cycle, becoming a great god for all eternity!
Ascend to the Ninth Heaven, the High Platform seals the gods, the anonymous one verifies the destruction of reincarnation here!
It's clear that these ancient gods are rushing towards the dark stone pedestal in the Golden Ancient Temple, and this pedestal seems to be the key to breaking through the cycle of reincarnation!
However, reality is always cruel. This mysterious black stone pedestal, which has an unknown origin, contains unimaginable unknown risks. That line of blood characters is even more revealing endless sinister and murderous intentions!
Xiao Yunfei's body trembled violently, and he explosively retreated a step backward. After stabilizing his body, cold sweat poured down his back as he recalled the various illusions from before, truly feeling an unparalleled sense of fear!
"What's going on? The anonymous person who left this sentence wouldn't be trying to harm people in the future, would they?"
Xiao Yunfei's eyebrows furrowed subconsciously, but he immediately dispelled the ridiculous idea. Since the anonymous person had already transcended reincarnation and become a great god of the ages, how could he possibly have nothing better to do than design for later generations? He left behind this line of blood characters, which must hold some extremely mysterious secret. Unfortunately, at that moment, Xiao Yunfei didn't have even a single thread of a clue, nor could he comprehend it.
Inside the Golden Ancient Temple, a murderous aura was diffusing everywhere. Xiao Yunfei couldn't guess the secret of that line of blood characters and had to constantly retreat to avoid encountering any accidents and losing his own life. Even those unparalleled ancient demons from the primordial era were killed in large numbers, let alone someone like him!
Unbeknownst to him, Xiao Yunfei had already retreated to a safe distance, but the terrifying and vast energy, as well as the ominous killing intent, still allowed people to clearly feel the horror of that line of blood characters.
"Heaven and earth are long-lasting. The reason why heaven and earth can be long-lasting is that they do not give birth to themselves, so they can live forever. Therefore, the sage puts his body after himself and yet his body comes first; he puts his body outside of himself and yet his body survives. It is not because he has no selfish desires! Therefore, he can fulfill his own desires."
"The supreme goodness is like water. Water gives life to the ten thousand things and does not strive. It flows in places men reject and so is like the Tao. In dwelling, live close to the land. In thinking, be deep as a river. In giving, be like nature. In speaking, hold to the truth. In ruling, be just. In serving, be timely. Only by being still can one be a vessel for the divine."
"Holding and being full is not as good as being modest; hiding and being sharp cannot be preserved for long; having gold and jade filling the hall, but unable to guard it; being rich and noble yet arrogant, will bring self-destruction. Achieving success and then retiring, is the way of heaven."
"Can you embrace the One and never depart from it? Can you concentrate your breath to achieve softness, like a baby? Can you cleanse your mind and gaze into the distance without any flaws? Can you love the country and govern the people without taking action? Can you open and close the gates of heaven like a female? Can you be clear and all-pervading without knowledge?"
The void fluctuations reappeared, and the sound of the Great Dao continued to reverberate. Only this time did Xiao Yunfei clearly discover that the source of the sound was not the row of blood characters, but rather the intangible and formless light wall, which lured people forward, tempting them to peek at the true realm of mystery.
This is absolutely not a sound, nor is it the transmission of divine consciousness, but rather an inexplicable aura that circulates, making people think they have obtained the profound and mysterious sounds of the Tao in their daze, when in fact, what awaits them is an endless and bottomless abyss; once they step in, there is no turning back.
Xiao Yunfei finally understood the meaning of the anonymous person's bloody message. The dazzling and terrifying blood characters, which seemed to exude a strong killing intent, had actually destroyed the perfection of the Light Wall Holy Sound, revealing its weakness and leaving a glimmer of hope for those who came later.
The Great Way is fifty-five, Heaven's Way is full at fifty, evolution and transformation are forty-nine, what remains is one!
Only an anonymous existence that transcends the cycle of life and death can break through the ancient killing formation in the golden palace filled with murderous intent, leaving a way out for future generations to benefit from.
Perhaps this was just one of them, but it is undeniable that he did, if not for the line of blood characters that triggered Xiao Yunfei's vigilance, I'm afraid at this moment, Xiao Yunfei would have been deeply trapped in the light wall, sinking into the infinite fantasy realm of the ancient killing array, never to escape forever.
Xiao Yunfei stared at the line of blood characters, feeling increasingly terrified. The voice-like and mind-perceiving fluctuations indeed contained unfathomable and inexpressible cultivation principles, but he didn't dare to proceed. The path ahead was a million feet deep and treacherous, with beautiful scenery along the way, but taking one more step forward might lead to eternal doom.
"The Tao gives birth to One. One gives birth to Two. Two gives birth to Three. Three gives birth to all things. All things carry Yin and embrace Yang, and the interplay of the two brings harmony. What people dislike is being orphaned, childless, or widowed, yet kings and nobles consider these as titles of honor, thus it can be seen that sometimes loss becomes gain, and sometimes gain becomes loss."
"Great perfection seems imperfect, yet it is useful. Great fullness seems empty, yet it is inexhaustible. Great straightness seems crooked. Great skill seems clumsy. Great eloquence seems stammering. Stillness conquers restlessness, cold conquers heat. Serenity and calm are the norms of the universe."
"Sweet words are not trustworthy. Trustworthy words are not sweet. Good people do not argue. Those who argue are not good. Wise people do not show off. Those who show off are not wise. Saints do not accumulate wealth. The more they give to others, the more they have themselves. The way of heaven is beneficial and does no harm. The way of saints is to act without contention."
The ancient Sanskrit sound slowly faded away, the voice of the Great Way finally came to an end. Accompanied by a wave of even more rugged and mysterious fluctuations, the invisible light wall in front seemed to undergo some kind of strange transformation, like a huge curtain being slowly pulled open by a pair of invisible giant hands.
It turns out that there is a mystery in this, is it a test set up for the newcomer? Only by passing the test of the Great Tao Holy Sound can one have the qualification and be able to reach the ultimate goal.
However, Xiao Yunfei did not set off immediately. Jokingly, who would have known that this time it wouldn't be the next test? It's better to ask about this point, otherwise, if he died here, he might end up like those ancient gods and demons, with no one even collecting his corpse.
Ahead, is it an abyss or an opportunity?
Xiao Yunfei felt a chill run down his spine, he didn't move forward, instead he retreated several steps again, his heart filled with apprehension, thinking that the path ahead might be endless and treacherous. But if he didn't move forward, how could he escape? There was no turning back from behind. Suddenly, Xiao Yunfei's heart skipped a beat as he sensed a peculiar aura, within the universe, the Great Yu Ding began to tremble once again.
The curtain slowly opened, and the scene in front of him finally became clear before Xiao Yunfei's eyes:
A dark, square stone platform about the size of a zhang, with eight golden large tripods arranged around it. The shape is exactly the same as the Great Yu Ding in Xiao Yunfei's hand. At the same time that Xiao Yunfei was shocked, his gaze suddenly fell on an empty space. Perhaps, that should be where the Great Yu Ding belongs.
As expected, at the moment when Xiao Yunfei had such an idea, the Great Yu Ding flew out of his inner sky and earth on its own, and the originally extremely heavy golden cauldron body ignored the constraints of time and space, and in just a flash, it had already landed on that vacant position!
"Hum——hum——hum——"
It was as if the heavens and earth had just opened, at the moment when the precious tripod of Yu returned to its rightful place. Throughout the ancient temple, a series of ancient Sanskrit sounds suddenly rang out, completely different from the sacred sound of the Great Way that had come before. There was no hint of temptation or any otherworldly visions. These ancient Sanskrit sounds were imbued with endless vicissitudes and roughness, as if they had been spoken by a child who had just learned to speak, echoing through the ancient temple.
Nine massive tripod bodies, emitting a genuine golden light, continuously gathered and surged towards the mid-air, amidst the pervasive golden light. The various demonic beasts and magical creatures' images printed on the golden tripod bodies instantly merged into one piece, converging in mid-air, resembling a sheet of golden clouds. The ancient divine demons and magical creatures' soul images stood densely, emitting dazzlingly intense rays of light, surging and churning ceaselessly.
The majestic sound of the bell continued to reverberate, as rolling golden clouds surged and transformed into a massive torrent that suddenly shot up from the ground and rushed towards the vaulted ceiling of the grand hall!
"Boom!"
The entire golden ancient temple seemed to be shaken by it, with endless golden light radiating in all directions. Xiao Yunfei couldn't even open his eyes, and naturally couldn't see that the thick golden light beam had pierced through the dome of the ancient temple, and didn't know where it had rushed to in the high sky. The nine golden large tripods transformed from solid to void, constantly changing, slowly transforming into nine golden lights, like a giant dragon hovering in the air. After a winding rotation, they attached themselves to the dark stone platform, forming three majestic ancient characters:
"Seal of the Gods!"
