Chapter 1668: Eliminate Fixation and Keep the Dao
The octagonal pagoda was ancient and unadorned, but its entire body radiated the brilliance of gold and boundless sacredness.
Suspended in midair, it seemed capable of suppressing all ages!
“Dao Endless…”
The Omega Lord narrowed his eyes slightly. Given his power, he had no trouble noticing the column of writings engraved on the Dao Endless Pagoda.
Every stroke of it was like the convergence of natural grand daos.
However, much of the ancient writing was damaged and unrecognizable.
But the Omega Lord recognized them all, or rather, he remembered the origin of the pagoda!
“The Dao Endless Pagoda! You are the old man who sits atop the cloud praying mat of the nine heavens, wields the horsetail whisk, and holds the Dao Endless Pagoda. You are neither buddhist nor dao, neither scholar nor demon!” His voice contained a hint of surprise.
A dust-laden memory surfaced in his mind.
A long time ago, he wandered all heavens, crossed the vast starry sky, all to search for a worthy opponent.He remembered that it was in the Return Dominion, one of the four great dao dominions, where he faced off against an Emperor Stage cultivator who lived in seclusion there.
Although the Emperor Stage cultivator was defeated by him, he smiled and said, “If the elder in the Return Dominion takes action, you will definitely lose!”
Skeptical, the Omega Lord began to search the Return Dominion, going through countless dangers, but he still found nothing.
Just when he thought that the ‘elder’ mentioned by the Emperor Stage cultivator did not exist in the world…
A voice rang in his ears.
“I have seen everything that you have done, but you don’t even know where I am, so is there a need for a duel? Even if there is a duel, you have no chance of winning.”
That one sentence made the Omega Lord’s body go stiff, as if he had suffered the heaviest blow!
Before he left the Return Dominion, he took a final glance and saw a figure sitting above the sky, horsetail whisk in one hand and a pagoda in the other, exuding boundless power and might.
After that glance, the figure vanished.
But the Omega Lord would never forget what he saw. He had analyzed that figure countless times in his mind, but he still made no discovery in the end.
It wasn’t until much later, when he became almost invincible in the world that he finally realized the terrifying cultivation possessed by the figure he saw.
However, at that time, he was determined to storm the eternal star road in search of a true immortality blessing and couldn’t care less about anything else.
With his ambitious nature, if he encountered that figure again, he would definitely challenge him to a duel!
Unfortunately, his trip to the eternal star road ended in failure...
A duel was out of the question.
But he never expected that, after all those endless years, he would see the pagoda once again on his descendant!
He stood there, stunned, as indescribable emotions rushed up in his heart.
He thought that all these years of waiting would bring him the hope to fight on the eternal star road again.
But in the end, what came was a descendant of his who had the same blood running in his veins as him!
It was as though fate was playing a trick on him, as if everything had long been decided. How could he not break down and lose control of himself?
In the end, he still cruelly did not care about anything in order to achieve what he desired.
But who would have thought that he would discover a daoist verse of teaching on one of his descendants, and it was left by the person who had dealt him the heaviest blow?!
Was this another mysterious and inexorable effect of karma? The Omega Lord could not help but wonder if this was all part of the retaliation against him.
Was it because he once broke through the galaxis door, so they would not allow him to rise again?
“Bitter and unforgiving, stubborn and fixated, verging on deranged. Fellow cultivator, your difficulties and problems are not caused by karma…but yourself.”
Divine light flowed around the Dao Endless Pagoda as a voice as hollow and elusive as a clear breeze sounded from it.
“Ridiculous!”
The Omega Lord raged, eyes bloodshot and about to burst with anger. “I am only fixated on seeking the dao, but the damn heavens refuse to let me re-enter the eternal star road. How could I be the problem?”
Boom!
The Dao Endless Pagoda shone brightly, raining infinite, blazing dao light.
With a thud, the Omega Lord sank to his knees, completely suppressed.
This invincible figure who once fought across the heavens, seeking nothing but defeat, failed to withstand a single blow from the Dao Endless Pagoda.
Even though he was no longer the same Omega Lord as he was back then, and was just a wisp of will that had become mad from crazed fixation, he had still managed to blast away the mysterious woman with a mere flick of his sleeve not long ago.
It showed that the power of the Dao Endless Pagoda was far stronger than him.
“What do you want?!” thundered the Omega Lord, forcing himself to stand up and fight, but his body was firmly restricted by the infinite rays of light.
Moreover, as beams of dao light poured out from the pagoda, his body was being erased bit by bit!
The clear, hollow voice rang from the pagoda again, “A wisp of fixation, stubborn and ignorant. If your real self saw you, then he likely would have eliminated you already.”
“Who the hell are you?” hissed the Omega Lord, eyes red and menacing.
“Just an aura from the daoist verse of teaching. If you hadn’t tried to seize the mantle of my Fangchun Mountain, then I wouldn’t have shown up.”
“Then that means you are the Master of Fangchun Mountain? Since you are that boy’s master, then why can’t you allow me? Is it wrong for me to impart my dao to my descendant?”
The Omega Lord’s body was quickly collapsing, about to disappear from the world, but he still refused to give in and violently resisted and roared.
“Your dao can stay, but the fixation must be eliminated.” The ethereal voice resounded like an order of the supreme master of the nine heavens. It was indifferent but filled with unquestionable authority.
The Omega Lord laughed with sorrow, “After all is said, you are just like the damn heavens… Hahaha, after waiting eternity for the bullshit great dao, all my hopes and efforts have come to nothing, nothing! Hahaha!” His voice trembled with endless bitterness and hatred.
“If your real self was here, then he would not say such words. You...are nothing but a fixation. It’s ridiculous to hear you lament.”
From the beginning to end, the hollow voice was calm and peaceful.
The Omega Lord’s figure grew increasingly faint and fuzzy. Before vanishing, his face contorted into a mocking expression and he howled, “The pagoda is damaged and will sooner or later suffer a catastrophe! I might be a wisp of fixation, but what about you? You are just part of the aura of the daoist verse. If you are really the master of Fangchun Mountain…then why would my descendant need to come to the Omega Secret-Realm in the past to improve his cultivation?”
At the end of the sentence, he seemed to realize something as he laughed maniacally, “Let me guess, your real self has already fallen just like mine, am I right?
“Hahaha, I bet that’s right. The damn heavens refused to let me go, so why would it not go after you—” The voice abruptly ceased.
The figure of Omega Lord completely disintegrated into a shower of light and lingered in the void, dazzling and splendid.
This was the ‘dao’ left by the Omega Lord, and it was his legacy.
Hua—
The Dao Endless Pagoda glowed brightly and the dazzling ‘dao’ poured into Lin Xun, who had passed out earlier, and integrated with him.
Miraculously, a Star Atlas Symbol emerged in Lin Xun’s heart, absorbing the dazzling rain of dao before once again disappearing into Lin Xun’s heart.
“The damn heavens? It doesn’t exist at all. You don’t understand that only the dao is eternal…” sighed the ethereal voice.
Faintly, there seemed to be the outline of an illusionary figure walking out of the Dao Endless Pagoda and approaching the unconscious Lin Xun. It bent over and looked down.
“How extraordinary was that man back then. I thought he would succeed, but unexpectedly, he failed because of his fixation.
“Well then, let his dao be inherited by his descendant. The great dao is without end, only the fire of the dao will not cease.”
Immediately, the illusionary figure faded and vanished.
The Dao Endless Pagoda turned into a beam of light and returned to Lin Xun’s body.
Every scene that had happened was like flashes of illusions, leaving behind no tangible traces.
……
Lin Xun felt like he just had a bizarre dream.
In his dream, he heard the furious roar of the Omega Lord. It was filled with bitterness, unwillingness, and despair… Immediately, a maniacal laughter followed...
Then, he saw a boundless starry sky, infinite stars orbiting within it, a river of stars shifting direction, and vastness surrounding it.
Then, a majestic figure was practicing the dao in the starry sky.
He wore a wide sleeved robe, and his hair loose. He looked strange and rustic, but had an imposing and mighty stance. He was like the ruler of all heavens. His every movement and gesture stirred up the power of the great dao, causing the boundless starry sky to shake, the vast surroundings to resonate with him, and the sound of the great dao to resound throughout the nine heavens!
A strong feeling came to Lin Xun. That was the true Omega Lord, Luo Tongtian, and not the wisp of will that had gone crazy from an obsessive desire!
Only the true Omega Lord would possess such unparalleled grace and invincible aura!
Gradually, the dream blurred, and the Omega Lord who was practicing the dao in the starry sky turned into a Star Atlas Symbol in the boundless starry sky.
Then, it exploded into a rain of light, bright and blazing.
Lin Xun suddenly sprang up from his sleep. His eyes darted around, only to find that everything had changed.
The thatched cottage surrounded by lush flowers and trees and a gurgling stream was gone. The wisp of will of the Omega Lord was also gone.
In every direction sat a tomb. There were a total of 1,009 tombs. Except for the last tomb, each one had all kinds of strange items placed on the stone tables in front of it...
It’s that cemetery!
Lin Xun looked bewildered.
Could it be that everything he had experienced before was just a dream?
But it was all too real…
No!
It was definitely not a dream. Lin Xun took several deep breaths to calm himself down. At that moment, he felt a ripple in his mind.
All sorts of mysterious inheritance powers emerged in his mind.
Vaguely, he seemed to see the vast starry sky again, the billions of stars twinkling in it, and a majestic figure practicing the dao…
