True Meaning of the Great Dao of Life and Death, Two Domains of Dao

True Meaning of the "Great Dao of Life and Death," Two "Domains of Dao"

At the very top level of Cave of Carefree, in the Immortal Hall.

The spacious hall was lavishly furnished in every detail.

Any one of those rare treasures would fetch a sky-high price of over a hundred pounds of Essence Liquid at an outside Treasure Contention Meeting.

Yet here, they were used only as decorations.

At the head of the hall.

A tall, lean man dressed in magnificent black robes and wearing an ancient crown raised his cup in a toast.

"Today is a joyous day for the Beishan Clan, as we welcome another Void Return Earth Immortal. I thank you all, fellow Daoists, for honoring us with your presence. I, Beishan Yin, offer you all a toast."

The two rows of guests seated below, upon hearing Beishan Yin's toast, all raised their cups as well.

"Daoist Beishan is too courteous."

"We have also come to congratulate Daoist Lian Feng."

Besides thanking Beishan Yin for his hospitality, they also offered their greetings to the burly man seated below him.

"Please." Beishan Yin tipped back his cup and drank.

He was in an excellent mood today.

This was because the Earth Immortal of his clan who had newly entered the Return to Void realm had pledged allegiance to him back when he was still a Primordial Spirit Daoist.

Thinking of how his old rival had recently recruited an Earth Immortal from an outside clan and gained great prestige within the clan because of it.

Beishan Yin sneered inwardly.

A Return to Void Earth Immortal from an outside clan could at most serve as a guest elder and hired enforcer.

But a Return to Void Earth Immortal from the same clan could enter the Council of Elders and exert a lasting influence over the entire Beishan Clan.

Moreover, by pledging allegiance to him, that person could obtain more resources and have hope of advancing further.

Such a reputation was far greater than his old rival's reputation for being domineering in battle and skilled at commanding troops.

Using the act of drinking as cover, Beishan Yin's deep eyes swept across the guests seated below.

These people were all high-ranking figures from the top powers and sects of Anchan Commandery.

There were both Earth Immortals and Loose Immortals among them.

Yet the person who drew his attention the most was a Primordial Spirit Daoist.

He was a white-robed young man of incomparably handsome features, so beautiful that his appearance was almost demonic.

The reason a mere Primordial Spirit Daoist commanded Beishan Yin's greatest attention was because of his identity: the current headmaster of Black-White Academy, Jade Sea Daoist.

Beishan Yin set down his cup and was about to speak.

Then he felt the entire Immortal Hall fill and surge with an overwhelming, violent battle intent.

At the same time.

Voices that sounded like countless people whispering "life" and "death" began to resound and echo.

Before their eyes, a massive black-and-white wheel seemed to rise slowly from beneath Cave of Carefree like the newly risen sun.

"What astonishing willpower." Beishan Yin's expression changed drastically.

Willpower was far more intangible and elusive than divine sense or divine consciousness.

Unlike divine sense and divine consciousness, which would arise as long as one's soul was sufficiently powerful and underwent a transformation.

Willpower was a force belonging solely to the mind.

Yet it was precisely because of this intangible nature that the power of mental will could break through the seals of countless restrictions and formations, shaking and affecting the Immortal Hall from deep beneath Cave of Carefree.

The guests seated below also changed expression one after another.

They were all top experts in Anchan Commandery in terms of cultivation and realm.

Anyone who had reached this point had experienced countless battles and possessed a powerful Dao-heart, so naturally they would not be affected by this battle intent or the sounds of "life" and "death."

But precisely because of that, these Earth Immortals and Loose Immortals were even more shocked.

For even they did not possess such powerful mental will, capable of erupting with battle intent that could shake Heaven and Earth.

Not only that.

When everyone saw the shadow of that massive black-and-white wheel, and saw countless phantom deities supporting it as it revolved.

A Dao aura filled with the cycle of life and death and containing endless life and death emerged inexplicably within every person's heart.

"The Great Dao of Life and Death?"

Jade Sea Daoist sensed it carefully, even half-closing his eyes to experience it in detail.

That's right! Although he has only comprehended a trace of the True Meaning of Dao and has merely taken his first step into the Great Dao, it is undoubtedly the Great Dao of Life and Death.

A look of shock suddenly appeared on Jade Sea Daoist's face, so handsome that even men might become infatuated with it.

The battle intent came from beneath Cave of Carefree. Which family has hidden away such a peerless young prodigy?

He wanted to go investigate immediately.

But this was a banquet held by the Beishan Clan, and the host was one of the strongest contenders to become the next Marquis of Anchan.

Black-White Academy was, after all, subordinate to the Anchan Marquis Mansion. To leave the banquet directly would undoubtedly be a foolish and rash act.

However, everyone present clearly shared Jade Sea Daoist's thoughts.

Even Beishan Yin was somewhat curious.

"Everyone."

Beishan Yin spoke with a smile. "How about we go take a look together and see what has caused such a huge disturbance?"

"Good."

"Let's go together."

Thus, Beishan Yin cast a spell and brought everyone with him as they teleported toward the source of the soaring battle intent.

Inside the Myriad Phenomena Hall.

Xia Manggan gathered all the resentment and unwillingness of his previous life, his feelings for his close friends and brothers, and his yearning and hopes for this life...

All those thoughts and intentions fused into the Wheel of Life and Death of the Heavens as he threw a punch.

At once, he felt an indescribable sense of comfort in both body and mind.

His soul and thoughts seemed to resonate with some profound and mysterious law hidden within Heaven and Earth.

Is this the Dao?

Xia Manggan half-closed his eyes.

An invisible Dao aura lingered around him.

His divine soul seemed to be nourished by some mysterious power, growing wildly in an instant.

This was his first time making a move since arriving in the world of Desolate Era.

It was also the first time he had used the Martial Dao of the Yang God World in this world.

Different paths led to the same destination; all Daos returned to Hunyuan.

All his martial and Daoist insights from his past life revealed themselves at this moment toward the profound Dao rhythm he had sensed.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~~~"

Countless streams of water appeared out of thin air around Xia Manggan.

Then raging flames began to burn in the void.

Surging water like a vast ocean and blazing flames like a volcano blocked the path of the people who had rushed out from the private rooms.

"Domain of Dao?"

"Two of them?"

"Heavens."

"Did he achieve enlightenment during that battle just now?"

Sharp intakes of breath rose one after another.

Even Ji Ning was left dumbfounded.

I have the Water Mansion and the Star Palace to aid my comprehension, yet I have only comprehended one Rainwater Sword Domain. This man has not even begun refining qi, but in a single battle, he comprehended both the Dao of Water and Fire to the level of Domain of Dao...

At this moment, the trace of pride he had felt after killing the Rhinoceros Great Demon and shocking everyone present vanished completely.

"Playing tricks."

Beishan Hu gritted his teeth as he looked at Xia Manggan, who had closed his eyes in enlightenment. Origin Force surged in his palm as he prepared to act in secret.

He did not intend to kill Xia Manggan.

With so many people watching, no matter how badly he wanted Xia Manggan dead immediately, he did not dare violate the rules and strike lethally in secret.

Otherwise, even as a direct descendant of the Beishan Clan, neither Cave of Carefree nor the Anchan Marquis Mansion would let him off.

He merely wanted to use the chaos of the crowd to secretly interfere with and interrupt Xia Manggan's enlightenment.

But before he could act, golden light flashed within the hall, revealing the figures of more than ten people.

And the person at their head—

"Father?"

Beishan Hu sent a puzzled mental message. "Father, weren't you hosting guests in the Immortal Hall? Why have you come to the Myriad Phenomena Hall?"

"You caused such a disturbance here. How could we possibly remain seated in the Immortal Hall?" Seeing his son among the crowd, Beishan Yin smiled faintly.

"Hu'er, do you know the young man currently comprehending the Dao? The soaring battle intent he released earlier carried a trace of the True Meaning of the Great Dao of Life and Death, and now he has comprehended two minor Daos to the realm of Domain of Dao."

Beishan Yin sighed sincerely. "Such a peerless prodigy... Hu'er, you must become friends with this young man. Gaining such a friend is worth more than knowing countless mediocre people..."

Though all the various powers had an unspoken understanding.

They would not tell their juniors the detailed divisions of the Dao before those juniors had entered the Great Dao.

But no one understood a son better than his father.

He knew perfectly well that his son had long learned about matters concerning the Great Dao through various channels.

Thus, he did not hide it and spoke directly.

Beishan Hu was dumbfounded.

Only the words "True Meaning of the Great Dao of Life and Death," "peerless prodigy," and "become friends" continued echoing in his mind.

So much so that he did not hear another word his father said afterward.

...Become friends with him?

Beishan Hu's expression became incomparably ugly.

How was he supposed to do that?

The second update is here. The next update will still be at 9:45 tonight.
