Chapter 765 - 538: Daoist Monarch! Daoist Monarch!
In the Eight Treasure Palace.
Threads of innate blood rhythm flowed melodiously, like the ancient songs of the forebearers, slowly streaming through the vast hall.
Chen Sheng felt a slight stir in his heart spirit, a whisper of will in his sea of consciousness:
"Blood, transformed from the innate Primordial Qi, the root of all beings’ origin!"
Chen Sheng sat upright on the mat, his posture like a primordial divine mountain, eyes gently closed, his heart spirit long immersed in the endless mysteries of the "Blood Drop Map", oblivious to everything in the external world.
Tens of thousands of years of arduous cultivation and enlightenment.
At this moment, his Dao Rhyme was restrained, yet there was a profound pressure that seemed to suppress all under heaven.
Every breath he took stirred the boundless circulation of blood energy, a sound like rushing rivers concealed within his body.
He introspected his own being, his will clear:
"No flesh, no veins, only a thread of innate true blood, hidden within me since the primordial chaos was undivided."
"The Dao is in the blood, existence and decay are one thought away."
Silently, he verified the insights in his heart, his will like a torch, traversing the mysteries of the "Blood Drop Map", not missing a single trace of Dao Rhyme.
"With true blood in the body, it contains the universe. A drop conceals a cosmos, a pulse carries the Dao... one can knock on the door of the innate!"
Buzz~
Subtle Dao sounds emanated from around him, resonating with the rhythm of the blood map, ethereal and distant.
At his brow, a tiny crimson light quietly emerged, a brilliant Dharma Seed breaking free from its seal, hovering three inches above the brow, circulating with a scarlet yet sacred aura.
This Dharma Seed, after countless years of insight and refinement, has now gathered the four cycles of existence, decay, emptiness, and renewal, each cycle harboring the mysteries of the creation and destruction of worlds.
Within it, countless blood patterns seemed to intertwine and tremble, exuding a daunting Dao might.
"Blood is not impure fluid, but the form of the Dao; veins are not mere meridians, but the patterns of heaven... my body is a great world of the blood Dao."
"Tracing the origin, one sees the innate; returning to the source, one becomes the blood master... the innate does not perish, true blood is immortal."
As Chen Sheng’s insight into the "Blood Drop Map" deepened, that Dharma Seed grew increasingly scarlet, more substantial, and as the aura flowed, there seemed to be the sound of a heartbeat emanating.
Thump!
Thump!
This sound synchronized with the Great Dao of heaven and earth, resonating with the origin of the blood Dao.
Upon the Dharma Seed, the innate Dao Rhyme became denser, its cycles of existence, decay, emptiness, and renewal flowing smoothly, at times consolidating, at times dispersing and extinguishing, perfectly aligning with the cycle of heaven.
...
Long years passed quietly.
A Primordial Assembly, two Primordial Assemblies... the time of five such eras slipped by like sand through fingers.
The blood energy within the hall had long transformed into a substantial presence, like a crimson Cloud Sea, surging and roaming, all converging towards the Dharma Seed at Chen Sheng’s brow.
At this moment, that Dharma Seed had been utterly transformed!
No longer comparable to ordinary laws, it was as lustrous as a blood-red gemstone, clear and bright, heavy as the universe itself, its Dao Rhyme soaring to the heavens.
It was no longer a mere condensation of blood Dao law.
It was the root of the mysterious female!
It was the source of the progenitor machine!
It was the true origin of the innate blood Dao!
Containing the secrets of creation and destruction of all beings, holding the mechanisms of heaven and earth’s creation, every motion influenced the surrounding time and space.
Crack~ crack~
The void rippled, emitting a subtle cracking sound, crisp and chilling.
Chen Sheng slowly opened his eyes, with not a single ripple within them, only two masses of blood-colored divine flames, burning fiercely, reflecting the creation and destruction of the universe, reflecting the true essence of the blood Dao.
His heart spirit stirred slightly, his will thunderous and electrifying, resounding in the sea of consciousness, each word sonorous, shaking the Divine Soul:
"The origin of the blood Dao is clear, the progenitor machine secured, the time is ripe!"
"I shall use my body as a furnace, the conduct of Dao as fire, my will as lead, to fuse the origin of the blood Dao, forge an innate Dao seed, reverse life and death, proving my position as Daoist Monarch!"
"Begin!"
Chen Sheng’s will, like a rainbow, like a blazing sun, pierced through the sea of consciousness, sweeping across his entire being.
He held nothing back, his entire Cultivation erupted like a volcano, surging uncontrollably, the breath of Dao around him roaring like a tsunami.
Rumble~ rumble~
Explosive sounds reverberated throughout the entire Eight Treasure Palace, with the ancient Dao Patterns on the palace all lighting up, Spirit Light resplendent, complementing the Dao Rhyme surrounding him.
The conduct of Dao, will, lifeblood Qi, blood Dao understanding... all transformed into an immense unrivaled force, like rivers converging into the sea, rushing madly towards the blood-colored Dharma Seed at his brow!
Countless threads of blood Qi entwined the Dharma Seed, surging into it.
The blood-colored Dharma Seed suddenly trembled!
Buzz~ buzz~ buzz~
The ringing grew ever more urgent, ever more resonant, its entire blood-colored aura surging, illuminating the entire Eight Treasure Palace.
...
In a corner of the Little Martial Temple, Qin Zhaoyu sat serenely before the Jade Desk and suddenly felt something.
She was shocked, suddenly raising her eyes, the Eight Treasure Order appearing in her palm, trembling violently, ringing ceaselessly, Spirit Light soaring.
"Master!"
She already understood that this was her Master beginning to impact the Daoist Monarch’s Crossing the Tribulation.
She slowly rose, standing respectfully with folded hands, raising her gaze towards the direction of the Eight Treasure Palace, hands united in respect:
"Disciple is here, quietly awaiting Master’s success!"
...
Within the Panwu world inside.
Rumble~ rumble~
A tremendous earth-shaking roar echoed throughout the entire world.
At this moment, within the Panwu world, the cycle of existence, decay, emptiness, and renewal suddenly halted.
The entire world began to contract violently!
Time and space twisted, heaven and earth collapsed, stars fell... everything converged towards a single point.
Crack~ crack~
The sound of the void fracturing was incessant.
The entire Panwu world, at a speed visible to the naked eye, compressed, condensed, eventually transforming into a single drop of blood.
Lustrous, heavy, resplendent, just like that initial drop in the "Blood Drop Map".
Clearly, it is the innate Dao seed!
Chen Sheng’s will once again resounded in the sea of consciousness, majestic and firm:
"Using the innate Dao seed as the lead, stepping beyond existence, decay, emptiness, wielding the life and death progenitor machine, reconstructing the order of heaven and earth, forging my middle thousand world!"
