Chapter 33 Mountain and Sea Dao Register
Meanwhile, in the realm of mountains and seas.
Kunlun Ruins, the main hall for deliberation.
The palaces are magnificent and stretch for an unknown length.
At this moment, an ancient scroll floats in the center of the hall.
The talisman depicts mountains, rivers, seas, birds, beasts, the sun, moon, and stars...
All sorts of scenes flow endlessly, as if the whole world is contained within them.
【Shan Hai Dao Lu】.
They can record their genius achievements and arrange their seating order themselves.
Those who enter this register are all outstanding individuals, destined for greatness.
Inside the hall, seven Daoist masters sat solemnly.
The leader, dressed in a Taoist robe, with white hair and beard but a handsome face, was none other than Tai Xuan, the head of the Taoist sect.
The other six, some sitting and some standing, were all leaders of major sects, their cultivation levels unfathomable.
The Mountain and Sea Dao Register trembled slightly, and the seven Dao Lords opened their eyes simultaneously.
A beam of golden light shot out from the talisman, condensing into characters within the hall:
Deep in the North Sea, the three elements unite as one, sacrificing themselves to protect their clan.
[The understanding of water, extraordinary comprehension, using the ordinary to govern the spiritual]
This child is exceptionally gifted, possessing the power of the Three Elements. Given time, he will prove himself…
The last few words were blurry and unclear, like clouds and fog obscuring their true appearance.
[Location in time and space: fluctuating]
[True Name Position: Obscured by Clouds and Fog]
[Signs of the Coming of the World: Chaos and Obscurity]
The last line was completely obscured, as if erased by an invisible hand.
Tai Xuan Daojun nodded slightly, his face remaining calm.
Having lived for countless years, he had seen many such promising talents.
A prodigy? A potential path to enlightenment?
Ah, every hundred years, a few such promising talents always emerge.
But how far they ultimately end up depends on fate.
However, since the Daoist talisman has been able to sense it, this child must be extraordinary.
If we could bring them under our wing, that would be a wonderful thing.
"what?"
The middle-aged Taoist priest next to him, dressed in a purple robe, raised an eyebrow:
"The integration of three elements? That's a novel concept."
"Could it be a secret technique from some reclusive sect?"
Beside him, a stunningly beautiful female Taoist priest slowly spoke:
"The unity of the three elements... if it does not refer to the three powers of Heaven, Earth, and Man, then it refers to the three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit."
"Or perhaps..."
A glint of light appeared in her eyes:
"Some kind of innate spiritual treasure?"
Upon hearing this, the atmosphere in the hall changed abruptly.
Primordial spiritual treasures are things that existed since the beginning of time, containing the most fundamental fragments of the Great Dao.
Even a glimpse of it would be immensely beneficial to an ordinary cultivator.
If one can refine it, one can leap a thousand miles and ascend directly to the immortal realm.
"Fellow Daoist Xuan Nu has excellent eyesight."
Tai Xuan Dao Jun remained outwardly calm and composed.
"For the Daoist scriptures of the mountains and seas to record it in this way, this child must possess a great secret."
The Sect Leader, Xuan Nu, nodded slightly and made a hand seal.
A Bagua compass appeared out of thin air, with the trigrams on it constantly changing, faintly revealing a mysterious aura.
"This humble Taoist priest will attempt to deduce it."
She closed her eyes and focused her mind, probing her spiritual senses into the compass.
The compass rotates, and the hexagrams change.
Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun; Kan, Li, Gen, Dui; the eight trigrams rotate endlessly.
After a long while, the Xuan Nu Sect Leader opened her eyes, a hint of doubt in her eyes:
"The secrets of heaven are shrouded in mystery and difficult to fathom."
"We can only roughly deduce that this child is located in the eastern continent of the surface world, near the sea."
"Its fortune is so great that it blots out the sky and the sun, and ordinary techniques simply cannot detect it."
Her delicate eyebrows furrowed:
"What's even stranger is that this child doesn't seem to be native to this world, yet he also seems to be..."
"What does it resemble?" the Purple Cloud Sect Leader pressed.
"It's as if it's being protected by some great power."
The Mysterious Maiden Sect Leader shook her head:
"As for the specifics, I must admit my cultivation is insufficient to discern them."
A brief silence fell over the hall.
A person whose fate even the Xuan Nu sect leader cannot fathom must have a profound cause and effect behind them.
Tai Xuan Dao Jun coughed lightly:
"Fellow Daoists, since the Mountain and Sea Dao Records have been activated, this child should be included in the list of candidates for Dao Child."
"As for whether he can truly become a Dao Child, that depends on his own destiny."
"In my opinion, everyone should rely on their own abilities. Whoever finds this child first will be blessed with good fortune."
"Fellow Daoists, does anyone have any objections?"
The seven Dao Lords looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
This is an old rule in Kunlunxu—in the face of genius, opportunity comes first.
Whoever finds it first will become its disciple.
Once the matter was settled, the atmosphere finally relaxed.
The leader of the Purple Cloud Sect rose and walked to the window, looking at the sea of clouds outside the hall. Suddenly, he said:
"By the way, isn't that branch world of the main world currently undergoing a period of great change?"
"Not bad," a Daoist master dressed in black robes replied.
"In that world, the Republic of China had just been established, the old dynasty had collapsed, and it was a time of great upheaval and change."
Humanitarian spirit, the "awe," "worship," and "fear" within collective consciousness...
The power formed by these emotions is the resource they need for their spiritual practice.
Master Zixiao stroked his beard and chuckled:
"Don't forget, everyone, that times of change are often when geniuses emerge."
The one whose Daoist talisman manifested just now might have been born in such an environment.
"Turbulent times produce heroes," this saying is true.
………………
There is a bamboo house on the mountainside of Qingqiu Mountain.
The bamboo house is small, but it is exquisitely built, with bright windows and clean tables, and is spotless.
Inside the bamboo building, a beautiful Jurchen woman sat at a table, flipping through a jade scroll.
She wore a green silk skirt with a white jade belt around her waist.
Her black hair cascaded down to the ground like a waterfall, and a dot of vermilion on her forehead added to her allure.
What is most striking are the six fox tails that are faintly visible behind her.
That was the mark of the six-tailed celestial fox, signifying that she had cultivated to the Mystic Realm.
Miaoyu Zhenren – one of the elders of Qingqiu Mountain, with countless disciples.
At this moment, she was holding a jade scroll in her hand.
The jade slip contained a densely packed list of the latest candidates for Daoist disciples.
This is a simplified version of the Mountain and Sea Dao Records shared with various sects.
"The top twenty are still the same old faces..."
She continued reading.
His most outstanding disciple was only ranked ninety-seventh, the very bottom of the list.
Miaoyu Zhenren felt somewhat disappointed.
"what?"
Noticing something amiss, her gaze fell on a certain part of the list.
That seemed to be a newly added face, ranked fifty-fourth.
[Taoist Candidate: (True Name Hidden)]
Location: Eastern Continent, near the sea
【Trait: Trinity in Harmony, Understanding of Water】
[Evaluation: A prodigy, given time he will achieve great things]
While this ranking isn't top-tier, it's certainly not low either!
The true selection of Daoist disciples will take place at the Daoist Conference.
At that time, all the candidates will gather together and undergo various tests to finally select the true successor.
The top 100 candidates undoubtedly have a huge advantage.
Eastern Continent, near the sea...
Miaoyu Zhenren suddenly remembered that her newly accepted disciple, Qiuyu, also seemed to have come from the coastal area of the East.
Is it possible that...that girl knows this boy?
But as soon as the thought crossed her mind, she laughed at her own absurd idea.
Qiu Yu is just a novice apprentice in the arts of magic; how could he possibly know such a prodigy?
That's it, that's it.
She sighed softly and put the jade slip aside.
He was a True Person of the Mystic Realm, and was considered a prominent figure in the cultivation world.
But what is she in the eyes of those truly important people?
