Beginner Buzhou Dao Rune 48 Completes after absorbing shattered laws, mountain-soul will, and origin essence from a Buzhou Mountain fragment. It contains faint laws of Force and Defense and unlocks new divine abilities.

History

Li Su discovers the rune as a nearly negligible fragment of a Grand Dao Rune imprinted within the skull of a giant beast. Its fleeting image nearly overwhelms his divine sense, but he records its trajectory and Dao rhythm in his Primordial Spirit as a foundation for future body refinement and defense. 6

When Li Su directs his desire to seek the Dao into the rune, it briefly reveals an exalted figure and the phantom of an ancient bronze mirror. He interprets the vision as a possible connection to Yuanshi Tianzun and the Kunlun Mirror; afterward, the rune begins guiding him northwest. 10

The rune repeatedly reacts to related inheritances and locations during Li Su's westward journey, including a formation master's remains in the Black Desert, an ancient teleportation array, a dark-yellow stone on the Wall of Sighs battlefield, and a damaged guardian jade pendant in Riftwind Canyon. 12 17 23 26

The Houtu Tribe recognizes the rune's faint Dao rhythm as a resonance with Buzhou. Later, Li Su uses Wu Earth Essence and the Bedrock Altar in the Ancestral Witch Hall to deepen its connection to Earth and defensive laws. 20 38 39

In Quicksand Marsh, the rune draws Li Su to a Buzhou Mountain fragment. Upon contact, it absorbs the fragment's shattered laws and mountain-soul will, completing its transformation into the Buzhou Dao Rune. 47 48

Properties

Solidity and Defensive Dao Rhythm

The rune's original meaning encompasses solidity, indestructibility, and eternity. Its comprehension strengthens Li Su's physical body and defensive techniques. 6

  • Enhances defense and physical strength through comprehension. 6
  • Strengthens Li Su's Dao of Defense when nourished by the dark-yellow stone. 28
  • Contributes its Tenacity to the creation of Profound Star Swirl Body Protection. 35
  • Improves Li Su's resistance to pressure, mental impacts, soul attacks, and law erosion when used alongside related inheritances. 35 39

Guidance and Resonance

The rune responds to special energies, artifacts, and locations associated with its Dao origin. 12

  • Establishes a northwest-oriented guidance connected to Kunlun after Li Su's vision of the bronze mirror. 10
  • Resonates with Moon Essence Stone Cores, clarifying part of the path northwest. 15
  • Reacts to ancient Heavenly Court-related remains at a damaged teleportation array. 17
  • Detects artifacts and inheritances, including the dark-yellow stone and the guardian jade pendant. 23 26
  • Is recognized by the Witch Clan as bearing an extremely faint Buzhou resonance. 20
  • Becomes intensely active near the Buzhou Mountain fragment that ultimately completes it. 48

Stabilization

Li Su can forcibly invoke the rune's Dao rhythm for short-term stabilization, though doing so consumes considerable energy. 26

  • Combined with Star Swirl Body Protection to resist a spatial rift's suction and shield five Jade Clarity Sect disciples. 26
  • Helps stabilize Li Su's foundation while he harmonizes conflicting powers during a Kunlun trial. 31
  • Stabilizes the foundation of the Houtu Star Bedrock Array through its Bedrock Dao rhythm. 40
  • Dark-yellow stone — A battlefield treasure with a more ancient and profound Dao rhythm of the same origin as the Bedrock Rune; it strengthens the rune through absorption. 23 24 28
  • Damaged guardian jade pendant — A sacred artifact with an innate protective Dao charm that complements the rune's steadfastness and contributes to defensive comprehension. 26 27 35
  • Wu Earth Essence — Innate Earth essence containing Great Earth and Bedrock laws; it greatly improves the rune's comprehension and Li Su's Earth affinity. 38 39
  • Buzhou Mountain fragment — The rune's decisive source of completion, providing shattered laws, mountain-soul will, and origin essence. 47 48

Trivia

  • The Bedrock Rune was initially so incomplete that Li Su could not use even a billionth of its implied power. 6
  • Its resonance with Buzhou allows the Houtu Tribe's elder to identify Li Su as having been touched by Buzhou's aura. 20
  • After becoming the Buzhou Dao Rune, it replaces the prior mystical patterns on Li Su's body with more complex dark-gold-and-black rune patterns. 48
