Origin Silence Returns to Truth, the Transcendent Past
Qin Yu and Xiao Yue transformed into two streaks of light and plunged into the depths of the cave. As they went deeper, the originally dim space around them became brighter and brighter, and the golden radiance became more and more intense. When the two passed through the last layer of rock wall cracks, the scene in front of them made them stop at the same time.
The entire cave was actually a huge natural underground palace. There were no magical treasures, no riches, no divine weapons, only scriptures, endless scriptures.
The entire underground palace's rock walls, dome, floor, stone pillars, and even the air itself are covered with densely packed ancient characters. These characters don't seem to be written later; they seem more like traces of the Dao that grew naturally from heaven and earth.
Some words float between cracks in the void, flickering between light and shadow, as if they might merge into nothingness at any moment; some words are like charcoal burned to a translucent state, emitting a faint glow of pale and dark purple intertwined in the darkness; and some words are like ice-blue moonlight reflected on the water's surface, floating layer upon layer in space at different depths.
The entire cave seemed to have transformed into an ocean of scriptures, each character breathing slowly, each flicker causing the surrounding causal structure to tremble slightly. Qin Yu could even see countless miniature annihilation vortexes slowly rotating within some of the ancient characters, and at that very moment...
Xiao Yue suddenly froze on the spot, her sapphire-like eyes widening little by little, her small mouth slowly opening, completely stunned. After a long while, she suddenly let out a scream. "Wow--" "We're rich!!!" "Little Qinzi!!!" "We're rich!!!"
She jumped excitedly onto Qin Yu's shoulder, frantically grabbing Qin Yu hair with her little hands, shouting, "The Origin Silence Return to Truth Scripture!!!" "This is the Origin Silence Return to Truth Scripture!!!" Qin Yu's forehead veins throbbed from her pulling, and he quickly pulled her off his head. "Wait!" "What Origin Silence Return to Truth Scripture?" "Explain yourself first!"
Xiao Yue landed on his shoulder, her face flushed with excitement. "It really is it!" "It really is it!" "No wonder that remnant soul refused to let anyone near here!" "No wonder Dao-Breaking Mang Mountain wanted to kill her!" "No wonder she stayed outside the cave!"
Qin Yu's brows furrowed deeper. "Xiao Yue..." He got to the point. Xiao Yue took a deep breath, barely managing to suppress her excitement. She slowly looked up at the countless scriptures, her eyes filled with awe. "The Origin Silence Return to Truth Scripture." "The legendary supreme scripture of the Eternal Silence Realm," and one of the most mysterious scriptures in the Eternal Nonexistence Limitless Domain. "It is said that it was not created by anyone." "Because it is itself an innate Dao pattern evolved from the Dao Fruit of the Eternal Silence Realm."
Qin Yu's pupils contracted slightly. Xiao Yue continued, "Legend has it that the true Origin Silence Return to Truth Scripture has three manifestation methods. The first is 'Void Dao Marks,' formed by the power of absolute Annihilation. It directly appears in the annihilated spacetime cross-section. The second is 'Ashes of True Annihilation,' formed from the Dao remains of those True Annihilation Realm experts who sacrificed themselves at the end of the First Era. The third is 'Mirror of Eternal Silence,' where the scripture is directly reflected from one's own Dao heart when a living being touches the threshold of the Eternal Silence Realm."
At this point, Xiao Yue looked up at the sky filled with scriptures, her voice trembling slightly. "And here... all three types of scriptures actually exist." This isn't just a stroke of luck; this is a legend, a true legend.
Qin Yu slowly raised his head and looked around again. At this moment, he finally understood why Dao-Breaking Mang Mountain was willing to do anything to seize this place, and why that woman with a remnant soul would protect this place even though she only had a remnant soul left. It was because this place was not a cave at all, but a living Origin Silence Return to Truth Scripture.
Just then, boom—the entire cave suddenly trembled slightly, and countless scriptures lit up at the same time. Dark purple and pale light intertwined and flowed, and ice-blue characters began to slowly rotate. The next moment, all the scriptures detached from the rock wall at the same time and rose into the air, forming a vast river of densely packed characters.
Spanning the entire cave, at the end of the long river, a golden figure slowly emerged. It was neither a cultivator nor a remnant soul, but rather an ancient figure formed from countless scriptures. He sat cross-legged in the center of the golden light, surrounded by billions of Dao patterns, and his eyes slowly opened, his gaze piercing through the ages.
The impact landed directly on Qin Yu and Xiao Yue, and throughout the cave, an aged voice slowly echoed, "A million epochs have passed..." "The person Xiao Lan has chosen has finally arrived..."
The golden old man, formed from countless scriptures, sat quietly at the end of the long river of scriptures, his body swirling with billions of ancient Dao patterns, as if he had been sitting there for countless epochs.
He slowly opened his eyes, and the moment his gaze fell on Qin Yu and Xiao Yue, the scriptures in the entire cave began to vibrate gently. Strands of dark purple, pale white, and ice blue light slowly intertwined, reflecting a past event that had long been buried by time.
The old man remained silent for a long time, an unconcealable sorrow appearing in his cloudy eyes. "Qiu Yuelan..." In the end, she still perished. The moment the voice fell, countless scriptures above the cave simultaneously shone brightly, and a vast ancient illusion slowly emerged. Within the illusion, an ancient divine God Clan spanning endless realms slowly appeared.
The divine city floated above billions of miles of void, countless temples stretched endlessly, and numerous powerful figures soared through the air. The radiance of the Great Dao illuminated the heavens. The old man slowly spoke, "Qiu Yuelan, daughter of Qiusheng, the patriarch of the Transcendent Realm Clans, is also the guardian of the Origin Silence Return to Truth Scripture of this generation. The Origin Silence Return to Truth Scripture is the supreme treasure of our Transcendent Realm Clan. It not only seals our clan's strongest divine abilities and supreme inheritance, but also provides an unparalleled opportunity for our clan's True Annihilation Realm · Supreme Eternal Silence Realm."
As the words fell, a stunningly beautiful woman in a silver-white dress slowly appeared in the illusion. It was Qiu Yuelan. She stood atop the divine city, carrying a divine spear on her back. Her eyes were like the moon, and she exuded an aura that amazed the era. And in the next moment...
The entire world suddenly changed color. Boom! The endless void suddenly collapsed, and a huge crack was torn open in the sky for billions of miles. One after another, terrifying and boundless Primordial Chaos Origin Beast Huang descended from the depths of the crack, covering the sky and the earth. Millions of Primordial Chaos Origin Beast Huang appeared in the world at the same time.
That oppressive force was enough to crush countless realms, and at the very forefront of all the Primordial Chaos Origin Beast Huang, an indescribably massive divine Divine Mountain slowly emerged. Spanning billions of miles of void, its body entwined with countless laws of destruction, it was none other than— Dao-Breaking Mang Mountain! Rumble—
A great battle erupted, and the entire Transcendent Realm Clans was instantly engulfed in blood and fire. Countless clansmen soared into the sky, their divine powers illuminating billions of stars, their blood staining the entire world red. One clansman after another fell, and one temple after another collapsed, but the Dao-Breaking Mang Mountain remained suspended in the sky, coldly overlooking everything. Finally, a figure stepped onto the heavens.
It was a middle-aged man with white hair flying and eyes like stars. He was Qiusheng, the patriarch of the Transcendent Realm Clans. The old man's voice became heavy. "At the last moment, Patriarch Qiusheng burned all his bloodline and sacrificed his own Fate Soul to forcibly tear open a path to life. In the illusion, Qiusheng's whole body was burning with golden Fate Soul divine flames."
The entire world burned with him. Countless crimson chains of karma pierced his body, yet he still took a step forward, handing the Origin Silence Return to Truth Scripture to Qiu Yuelan, then sending her off the battlefield with a single palm strike. "Live on, live on with the scripture..." Boom--
The next moment, Qiusheng transformed into a golden sun that spanned the heavens and earth, colliding head-on with the millions of Primordial Chaos Origin Beast Huang. The explosion covered billions of realms. The entire world where the Transcendent Realm Clans resided was completely reduced to ruins, while Qiu Yuelan disappeared into the end of the void with the Origin Silence Return to Truth Scripture.
The illusion slowly dissipated, and the cave returned to silence. The old man closed his eyes, his voice hoarse, "In the end, the Transcendent Realm Clans was annihilated; not a single member survived. I thought Yuelan had successfully escaped, but now it seems..."
The old man slowly raised his head and looked at Qin Yu. "She was finally found by Dao-Breaking Mang Mountain. And the appearance of the scripture today means that her last vestige of Fate Soul has completely dissipated." Otherwise, the seal on the scripture would not have been lifted, and the entire cave Entering Stillness.
Qin Yu stood there, speechless for a long time. The image of the woman's remnant soul before it dissipated kept replaying in his mind. After a long while, he slowly sighed, "So that's how it is..." The woman from before was actually Transcendent Realm Clans being, and that Divine Mountain was the Dao-Breaking Mang Mountain.
"I'm afraid Qiu Yuelan was ultimately annihilated by Dao-Breaking Mang Mountain, only escaping here with her last Fate Soul, clinging to life with the power of the scriptures." Dao-Breaking Mang Mountain, having long occupied the Heart-Questioning Ancient Forest, likely sensed the existence of her remnant soul, yet was unable to find her trace. "In the end, it was by sheer coincidence that I stumbled upon her."
At this point, Qin Yu gently closed his eyes, and the expression on Qiu Yuelan's face when she finally regained her senses reappeared in his mind. That obsession that had not dissipated even after millions of epochs had finally vanished with her. "Sigh..." he sighed softly.
The sound echoed softly in the deep cave. Xiao Yue perched on Qin Yu's shoulder, her sapphire-like eyes unusually calm. After a moment, she gently patted Qin Yu's shoulder, her tone softening.
"So be it. Little Qinzi, no matter what, we have completely eradicated the Dao-Breaking Mang Mountain, which can be considered as avenging the blood feud of the Transcendent Realm Clans. If Qiu Yuelan were still alive, she would have no regrets. Just now, let us send her off on her final journey. From now on, she will no longer be trapped in her broken and remnant soul, wandering for eternity."
As she spoke, she looked up at the endless river of scriptures, her eyes regaining their brilliance. "And right now, the most important thing is this Origin Silence Return to Truth Scripture. This is an unparalleled opportunity that even Eternal Silence Realm experts would go crazy for; we can't waste it."
Qin Yu nodded slowly upon hearing this, his gaze returning to the countless scriptures. "Hmm." Let's study the scriptures first. We'll talk about the rest later." As the two finished speaking, countless Origin Silence Return to Truth Scripture lit up simultaneously throughout the cave, and the long river of scriptures began to slowly rotate.
