Chapter 2153: Chapter 1644: Lord Shouqiu
“Lord Guardian Hill…”
Bai Shuyue gazed intently at the silent figure standing before Shadow Bearing the Dao.
Perhaps because of the vast difference, Bai Shuyue didn’t perceive how divine the appearance of Guardian Hill was.
But since Bearing the Dao was so solemn, it must certainly be extraordinary.
Bearing the Dao began sharing his feelings from the moment of his Ascension to Immortality: “The deep sea of ghosts, the boundless mountain. But neither the mountain nor the sea can be profaned; they are difficult to observe closely. Anyone entering the Mountain Sea will surely be submerged, losing their spirit, soul, and self. But with the protection of a mentor, one can glimpse the secrets of the Mountain Sea. What others need to ponder and prehend countless times later, you have already fully witnessed at the moment of Ascension to Immortality.”
“From then until the Transcendence Realm, it is a smooth path!”
In Bearing the Dao’s narrative, Bai Shuyue seemed to truly see the lofty scene of the Mountain Sea stretching endlessly, with all principles of the world contained within.
“You have already accumulated richly by slaying immortals and proving the Dao using the Dao Network. If, at the moment of Ascension, you fully prehend the transformations of the Mountain Sea, perhaps the moment you bee an Immortal will be the time of your Transcendence!”
Even though Bai Shuyue was unsure how credible Bearing the Dao’s words were, he had patiently spoken so much, and Bearing the Dao didn’t seem like a simple person.
If she did not agree, she feared she couldn’t escape this Dao Network core.
Bai Shuyue left the High Wall precisely to find a suitable cultivation method. She could sense that using the Dao Network within the Sea of the Northern Stars might greatly benefit her cultivation.
So she agreed: “I am willing to undertake the work of the predecessor and preside over the Dao Network.”
Her cheerful agreement made Bearing the Dao feel even better.
“However, your current body is too fragile. It needs some modification…”
“e out!” Bearing the Dao glanced at the Measureless Barrier hidden within Bai Shuyue and said lightly.
The Measureless Barrier, usually boasting grandly, was surprisingly obedient at this moment. It didn’t pretend not to hear, but instead immediately emerged.
“You and I can be considered of the same kind. Meeting today is a sort of fate. My master once guided me, and I…”
“Today, I grant you a Creation!”
With those words, Bearing the Dao suddenly vanished in front of the two.
It was as if a gentle breeze swept by, causing ripples in the crisscrossing Dao Network.
The Dao Strings twisted and turned, forming a cavity that revealed its core depth.
Bai Shuyue and the Measureless Barrier fell straight into the formed circle.
Darkness surrounded them, hiding everything. Even the Dao Strings with their ghostly blue glow seemed suspended at the heavens, as if extremely distant from this place.
But as the wind grew stronger, the darkness gradually illuminated in blossoming light.
Bai Shuyue looked around at the flashing light and shadow, realizing they seemed to be images of mountain and sea!
And not just illusions—she could truly prehend various Taoist Principles from them!
“Without carving, one cannot bee a vessel.”
“Though you have served at the Saint Lord Sect, ultimately you are just ‘matter’. To go further in this Mountain Sea, you must transform from matter into human!” Bearing the Dao said with deep emotion.
At the same time, continuous mountain shadows pressed down on the Measureless Barrier.
“Mistress, spare me…”
“Stop making noise! If you can’t endure this bit of hardship, how can you truly transform?” Before the Measureless Barrier could cry out, Bearing the Dao coldly snorted and interrupted rudely.
“Mountain, e!”
With a low shout from Bearing the Dao, the shadows of mountains like a continuous overcast quickly gathered and pressed, ultimately forming a seemingly tangible black peak that heavily suppressed the Measureless Barrier.
The Measureless Barrier couldn’t even let out the slightest wail.
“Water, e!”
Under Bearing the Dao’s guidance, the boundless sea above also gradually gathered, transforming into a white band that fell from the peak of the black mountain. Despite the expansion of mountains and water, there was unexpectedly little sound of rumbling.
It was merely like a stream in the mountains, its melodious tinkling soothing the spirit.
The mountains and waters formed a plete cycle, self-sustaining.
The water rushed to the mountain’s base, suddenly disappearing only to reappear hundreds of feet atop the mountain and continue flowing downward.
The mountain and water circulated, unceasing life.
“One day, when the water is exhausted and the mountain collapses, it will be your moment of transformation from matter to human!”
Having said this, Bearing the Dao slowly revealed his figure.
To Bearing the Dao, creating this mountain and water was apparently quite consuming as well.
He returned to his earlier elderly appearance.
Pointing at the black mountain and white water before them, he said to Bai Shuyue, “You only need to meditate between this mountain and water to leverage their power to withstand the pressure of the Dao Network core.”
“This mountain and water Creation contains my many years of insights, not only enabling Enlightenment for it but also benefiting you greatly. While presiding over the Dao Network, you might as well prehend together.”
“The stronger you are, the less pressure the Dao Network will exert on you, and thus you’ll be able to harness increasingly powerful Dao Network strength.”
“Presiding over the Dao Network is all benefit without harm to you. Were it not for your extraordinary aptitude, I wouldn’t entrust such a heavy responsibility to you.”
“However, until you prove Transcendence and can differentiate into Inheritor’s Illusion to bear the Dao Network, you cannot leave here even a step.”
Bai Shuyue observed the myriad twisted Dao Strings above slowly restoring to normal. The circular gap gradually disappeared. In the endless darkness, only the black mountain and white water stood firm in this realm.
“Next, I’ll teach you the ‘Shadow Bearing the Dao Method’.”
The Inheritor’s Illusion vanished equally, leaving only resonating sounds repeatedly echoing.
Bai Shuyue focused intently on listening.
This Shadow Bearing the Dao method indeed proved extraordinary.
Bai Shuyue seemed to see Lord Guardian Hill, facing away from all beings, sitting atop a mountain gazing at the sea, single-handedly supporting the heavens on the verge of collapse.
