Self-Destruction and a Return to Heaven, the Fall of Myriad Dharma!
Upon hearing this—
For a moment, Myriad Dharma Hundred Skills were speechless...
For them, the hope was naturally that their sect could continue to exist, but the idea of them committing suicide without even fighting truly silenced them...
But looking at Qin Lu's subordinates, they were numerous and powerful. Qin Lu didn't even need to lift a finger; the two Demon King and the ghost king alone were enough to kill them...
In such a certain death situation.
Just as Qin Lu said, continuing the fight is completely pointless...
"Master, let's get started."
"Would you rather I see you off first, or would you rather I see you off first? I'll follow your advice. Rather than continue fighting and let the Myriad Dharma Sect perish..."
"If one can preserve even a trace of the legacy, then dying wouldn't be such a loss."
As he spoke--
Hundred Skills True Person looked at his master, Myriad Dharma, who gave a wry smile. Before the latter could speak, Hundred Skills slapped himself on the head...
With a "poof," Hundred Skills True Person's head exploded like a watermelon.
Red and white substances splattered out, splashing all over Myriad Dharma True Person's face. The latter looked shocked, staring at his most respected disciple...
With just one slap, he ended his life!
For a moment, Myriad Dharma True Person felt a pang of heartache. He hadn't expected Hundred Skills to be so decisive, so resolute...
The Hundred Skills True Person had clearly seen through everything, so he could commit suicide without hesitation.
For him--
A desperate resistance might preserve some of his reputation, but it would also inevitably invite the Great Qin's revenge...
The Great Qin might spare some insignificant disciples of the Myriad Dharma Sect, but it could also slaughter them all!
Letting go is for the sake of fame.
But if you don't take my kindness seriously, then I'll kill you too!
Never overestimate the Great Qin's bottom line; every Myriad Dharma Sect disciple who seems to have been let go will have a tracking mark on them...
If the Myriad Dharma Sect angers the Great Qin, these people will be retaliated against and killed by the Great Qin in the next second!
Just like people.
Why do people sometimes fear small wild animals? It's not because they can't defeat them, but simply because they don't want to get hurt...
Once injured, in a fit of rage, a person can tear apart almost any mortal creature.
This is just like the Great Qin today!
He simply didn't want to put in too much effort and hoped to unify the Eight Immortals Sea as soon as possible with minimal cost, so he was willing to leave the Myriad Dharma Sect lineage intact...
That's perfectly acceptable!
But if you insist on going to extremes, seemingly noble deaths on the battlefield are the real harbingers of disaster. Those Hundred Skills have seen through everything...
Therefore, they had no intention of resisting anymore.
Everything is preordained. Giving oneself dignity, giving the Great Qin dignity, and giving the end of the Myriad Dharma Sect dignity—isn't that also a kind of continuation...?
This is what smart people do!
This action also earned him the respect of the Great Qin...
Those who see clearly can take things up and let them go; this is the true way to benefit both sides, even if it means sacrificing the body of Hundred Skills True Person...
He was then captured by Qin Lu and placed in a coffin...
Using the Soul Wood Dao Principles, a wooden head was condensed and connected to the corpse. An auspicious day and time were then chosen for a grand burial in a propitious feng shui location...
Then--
Qin Lu looked at Myriad Dharma True Person and said:
"You've trained a fine disciple; he sees things more clearly than you do. If he needs any help, I'd be more than happy to oblige..."
At this point--
Myriad Dharma True Person was utterly despondent, then a thought struck him...
He actually dissipated his cultivation, and an aura of decay slowly dissipated, clearly indicating his intention to Liberation by Violence on the spot...
Myriad Dharma True Person looked at Qin Lu and left his final words:
"I hope Fellow Daoist Qin will remember what you said today and spare my lineage of Myriad Dharma..."
"Today, the Great Qin Dynasty has unified the land, which is a good thing. It ends thousands of years of war and is also a lifelong wish of ours..."
"Unification, that's a good thing!"
"Among my storage Law Artifact are the records of my ancestors, and even more so, a complete record of the history of the Eight Immortals Sea, as well as the reasons for the demise of the Eight Seas Dao Sect..."
"Fellow Daoist, when the time comes, you can carefully study and collect the Treasures of the Eight Immortals. At that time, they may be able to help you advance further and even break the Eight Seas Grand Array..."
"Everything is left for you to explore on your own, fellow Daoist."
"Myriad Dharma return to one, the great way returns to simplicity."
Everyone has their own unique talents, and there's bound to be a use for them.
"Fellow Daoist, I hope this is our last meeting, that we will never meet again..."
"But if we ever meet again in the underworld, I hope that you will have led the overseas Human Race back to the mainland..."
"We'll meet again in the underworld!"
Having said that--
The cultivation of the Myriad Dharma True Person was completely dissipated; his vast Dao Law and Spiritual Power returned to heaven and earth, nourishing the entire sea area and giving back to the Great Dao...
Ultimately, without the support of his cultivation, his physical body decayed and his lifespan ended, and he quietly passed away here...
Seeing this situation--
Qin Lu stood up and bowed respectfully to him, saying:
"Myriad Dharma, may you have a safe journey. We shall meet again."
Even Haiyue and several other Demon King and ghost kings bowed to him; those who dared to offer their lives were deserving of respect no matter what...
They all respected him, even his enemies.
His integrity alone is enough to command people's heartfelt respect...
At this point--
Two Core Formation True Person of the Myriad Dharma Sect committed suicide, allowing the Myriad Dharma Sect to preserve part of its heritage. The war thus ended...
Meanwhile, the current leader of the Myriad Dharma Sect, along with its four core Dao Foundation Elders, all passed away peacefully in the Myriad Dharma Sect's ancestral shrine, dispersing their cultivation...
Since everything has come to an end, let it vanish along with the sect's former glory...
The surviving disciples of the Myriad Dharma Sect.
After this great battle, less than one-tenth survived, with only two Foundation Dao Foundation and about ten Qi Condensation cultivators remaining...
And these final individuals will continue to pass on the Myriad Dharma Sect...
They submitted to the rule of the Great Qin.
Later, it merged into the Myriad Dharma Dao Academy, one of the Twelve Heavenly Academies of the Great Qin, becoming one of its lineages, sharing the name Myriad Dharma...
Over time, in later records, the Myriad Dharma Sect and the Myriad Dharma Dao Academy became completely integrated, no longer distinguishable from each other...
The tradition has been passed down.
Whether the doctrines of the Myriad Dharma Sect are still being passed down remains unknown...
But those are all things that need to be discussed later.
And now, the Eight Immortals Sea has been unified once again, on this day...
Countless cultivators raised their fists and shouted loudly, their shouts shaking the heavens and carrying for thousands of miles, echoing the division that had lasted for thousands of years...
We've finally traveled back thousands of years!
"Great Qin!"
Great Qin!
"Great Qin!"
The frenzied shouts of "Great Qin" by everyone heralded the beginning of a new era, while the past...
Thus it became history, and was later included in Qin Wen's records and compiled into a historical book...
The Great Qin Sea -- Qin Island -- Efang Immortal Palace.
Qin Zheng, still an infant, suddenly burst into joyful laughter, an inexplicable aura of fortune subtly bestowing upon him...
Before I knew it, I had already stepped into the True Martial!
