Chapter 1304: A Million Years Of Secluded Cultivation
A single streak of light sliced through the void. As it materialized, the endless expanse of spacetime seemed to dim in reverence. Even the towering crimson-armored figure, once so dominant and boundless, now appeared hazy and indistinct, as if all illumination in existence had been drawn toward this solitary beam of light.
The fluctuations of Daos and Laws dissolved into nothingness. All things, all Daos, all Laws—everything ceased to exist in this singular moment. Only that streak of light remained.
The Great Dao Knows No End? Wu Yuan whispered, transfixed by the blade ray that had manifested so suddenly before him.
Unlike the magnificent fourth move with its overwhelming fluctuations, this blade ray wasn’t particularly blinding. Yet within its subtle glow resided a different level of profundities and will.
It continued its journey forward, accelerating, stretching ever farther, ascending ever higher, becoming increasingly ethereal and untouchable with each passing moment.
This was the embodiment of a will that refused to stop moving forward. This was the manifestation of an explorer's boundless curiosity.
This saber strike... Wu Yuan felt something deep within him shift. Though he sensed few Dao profundities from this streak of light, it resonated within his core far more powerfully than any of the previous four moves. It beckoned him toward an entirely new realm, gently guiding him into the uncharted territories of his future.
In what might have been a mere instant, or perhaps ten thousand years, the streak of light traversed the limitless void, and all of spacetime gradually resumed its natural state.
"Remember!" commanded the resonant voice. "The path of your self-created Dao can only be discovered within yourself. The achievements of your predecessors serve merely as reference, not templates to be mindlessly copied. Only when you can completely release my Five Moves of Destruction from your mind will your self-created Dao reach perfection."
Whoosh! An invisible wave swept through the void, and Wu Yuan's consciousness body dissolved, pulled away from this spacetime.
...
Back on the mountain path of the third realm, Wu Yuan's ether body drew a gentle breath as his eyes flickered open. Confusion momentarily clouded his gaze before profound shock replaced it. Memories cascaded through his mind like a relentless deluge.
