Mysterious mirror hanging high

Jing Yu found it hard to imagine what Taoist Chengxu had been through to become so depressed and dejected. Before he had time to think about the key, he was slightly dazed again. The next moment, he saw a doomsday scene before his eyes.

The Daozun Temple where Taoist Chengxu was located was already in ruins, with cracks visible everywhere - these cracks were not cracks in the physical sense, but [Dao marks], marks of the Great Dao!

Jiu Ming and Wan Shou were sitting cross-legged in the dilapidated Taoist Temple. Their clothes were covered with filth, they were sweating under their armpits, and the spiritual light around them was dim. It was obvious that they were feeling very uncomfortable.

"The Five Degenerations of Heaven and Man... This is the end of the era, the final catastrophe!" Jing Yu suddenly understood.

He then looked at himself and discovered that his indestructible body, which had long since reached the Golden Immortal realm, was slowly beginning to decompose and dissipate.

Jiu Ming and Wan Shou looked in the direction of "Jing Yu" with sadness and reluctance in their eyes.

At this time, the sky in the Taoist Temple was brightly lit, and an old man with white hair and beard, holding a wooden staff, stepped into the temple.

When Wanshou saw the visitor, some hope appeared in his eyes:

"Father! Can you save Chengxu? He..."

Jiu Ming struggled to stand up, then bowed down and said, "Jiu Ming greets Master Chang Qing... Do you think Cheng Xu..."

Taoist Changqing stroked his beard and said, "The great calamity of the epoch is divided into [Inner Calamity] and [Outer Calamity]... He is only a Golden Immortal and can't even overcome the [Inner Calamity]. There is nothing I can do to help him."

At this moment, most of Taoist Chengxu's body had dissipated.

Taoist Master Changqing suddenly shouted, "Chengxu, what are you still standing there for? You've been doing nothing for billions of years, are you going to die in obscurity?"

Taoist Changqing's wake-up call was like a thunderclap, completely awakening Taoist Chengxu from the fear and confusion of his body disintegrating and the great Dao collapsing.

Taoist Chengxu suddenly had an idea and laughed heartily: "The Taoist Master is right!"

Immediately, Taoist Chengxu made hand gestures with his hands, which had not yet dissipated, but he did not try to use the remaining magic power to fight against the catastrophe. Instead, he completely gave up resistance.

He closed his eyes, ignoring his disappearing physical body, the dilapidated temple covered with traces of Dao, and even ignoring his close friends and elders beside him.

His mind converged inward at an incredible speed, entering a state of "sitting and forgetting".

The external doomsday scene and the erosion of the five signs of decay of the gods and men gradually turned into absolute silence in his sea of ​​consciousness.

In this extreme state of tranquility, his heart of Tao turned into an invisible and bright mirror.

In an instant, in Taoist Chengxu's sea of ​​consciousness, everything was silent, and only the true self remained.

Just when his mind was calm and he had forgotten about everything, an illusory and dazzling fruit of the Tao began to condense in his sea of ​​consciousness that was about to completely dissipate.

The outer edge of this translucent Taoist fruit showed a circle of light that was as clear as water and calm as never before.

"This is……"

Wanshou and Jiuming stared at the illusory Dao Fruit in shock, blurting out in unison: "Is it... a Dao Fruit for the spirit and soul?"

A trace of regret flashed across Jiu Ming's eyes. "To condense the Dao Fruit in the direction of the soul, a complete Yuan Shen and a solid foundation of the Great Dao are needed as support... What a pity..."

What she meant was that Taoist Chengxu's immortal body and soul had long been eroded from within by the Five Degenerations of Heaven and Man. This illusory Taoist fruit was like a castle in the air and could not be sustained.

Taoist Master Changqing shook his head and said, "Even if his soul and body are intact, he has no chance, but at least..."

At the last moment when the fruit was about to become completely solid, it finally could not be maintained and completely collapsed.

Although the Dao Fruit collapsed, Cheng Xu was calm at the moment. He slowly opened his eyes and smiled at the Daoist Master Changqing:

"Thank you, Daozun, for your advice."

boom!

Taoist Chengxu's body completely turned into pieces and disappeared. At the same time, a colorful seal character appeared faintly where Chengxu was sitting, and the handwriting could be vaguely discerned.

【Long life and good health】

The next moment, the colorful seal characters also slowly disappeared, but at the moment the seal characters disappeared, a purple seal character slowly took shape -

[A clear mirror is like still water].

This purple seal character only lasted for a moment before disappearing without a trace.

But it has existed, and from then on there was another purple spiritual destiny in the world!

Taoist Master Changqing sighed, waved his sleeves, took Jiu Ming and Wan Shou into his sleeves, turned into a stream of green light, and left the Taoist Temple that was about to collapse.

Not long after Daoist Master Changqing left, the heaven and earth began to "collapse," and all the heavens and worlds began to rapidly converge at the same moment, returning to their most primitive state...

----

When Jing Yu regained consciousness, he found that this time he had no physical body, but instead looked down at something from a bystander's perspective.

Below his perspective was a chaotic and thick fog, in which six huge stone bases were vaguely visible.

There was a person sitting on each of the four seats, but their faces were blurry and unclear.

There are still two empty seats, which seems a bit awkward.

Not long after, a figure walked out from the chaotic fog. Behind his head hung countless halos that rotated endlessly and circulated, emitting auras of different colors. In his left hand, he held a paper booklet, and in his right hand, he held a brush.

The four majestic figures sitting on the stone pedestals greeted the newcomer:

"Reincarnation...it's been a long time."

The man named Samsara nodded to the others and sat down in one of the empty seats. However, after sitting for a while, he felt something was not right. He immediately stood up and walked to another seat and sat down. He said to the seat he had just occupied:

"Sorry, Yinwei."

The One Yuan Dao Zun, who was in the center of the group, said, "Reincarnation, have you failed again this time?"

"Well, I'm still a little short of the mark. Although I've been promoted to Daojun for many years, I still couldn't break through that last bottleneck until the end of the catastrophe."

The Daoist Master of Samsara's voice sounded slightly depressed. "Ever since the great calamity of the epoch, the myriad worlds have begun countless cycles of birth and death. Almost every time the previous epoch ends and the next begins, the [Law of Samsara] between heaven and earth becomes stronger than the previous cycle."

"This is originally a good thing for me, who holds the power of reincarnation... However, as the Law of Reincarnation becomes stronger, the threshold for practicing this law will become higher... My hope of regaining control of the second reincarnation will become increasingly slim with each era restart."

Dao Zun Yi Yuan looked at Dao Zun Gan Qi again and said, "Gan Qi, how is your path going?"

Dao Zun Gan Qi smiled and said, "Thanks to Chang Qing, the ninth level of Qi training has become completely popular. I estimate that in the next era, the [tenth level of Qi training] will be expanded. By then, a small number of geniuses will be able to touch this realm, which will be of great benefit to their foundation building."
