Baby with Daoist Monarch System

Feel the heaviness and bearing of the earth beneath your feet.

Feel the rustling sound of the breeze brushing past the leaves around you.

Feel the warmth as sunlight streams down.

Feel the omnipresent spirit in the air that nourishes all things.

Gradually, his heart seemed to synchronize with the breath of the forest.

He ”saw” a seed falling into the soil, nurtured by the rain, breaking through the earth, sprouting tender shoots, and reaching for the sunlight.

He ”saw” a small tree swaying in the wind and rain, striving to absorb the nutrients of the earth, growing upward, becoming sturdy, with lush branches and leaves.

He ”saw” a flower blooming in the morning with the most beautiful posture, attracting bees and butterflies to dance, and then in the evening, as life force withered, quietly wilted, its petals falling into the soil, becoming nourishment, fostering new life.

He ”saw” a towering ancient tree reaching the end of its life, crashing down, its trunk becoming a bed for countless microorganisms and fungi, eventually decaying, returning to the earth, nourishing the forest.

Life and death

Wither and flourish

This is a cycle!

An endless cycle!

Life is not eternal, but the will of ”life” can be perpetuated through this cycle, extending to eternity!

This is the true meaning of ”Life Derivation”!

It’s not just about growth, but includes the cycle of wilting and rebirth!

A way to transform death into life, a ceaseless and eternal law of the universe!

Boom!

Xu Ran felt as if thunder rumbled in his mind!

He suddenly opened his eyes, a flash of insight appeared in his gaze!

He understood!

This Sword Intent of ”Life Derivation” seems opposed to the Sword Intent of ”Annihilation,” but in reality, there is a profound connection!

Death is not the opposite of life, but a part of life!

It is an indispensable link in the great cycle of ”life”!

Without the end of annihilation, how would there be the emergence of rebirth?

Without the wilting wither, how would there be the flourishing bloom?

The slaughter of the Ancient War General was for the protection, perhaps to guard this breeding vitality!

Old Zhang’s annihilation is the end of all things, but after the end, perhaps a new beginning is nurtured!

The resilience of mortals shines, striving to survive and bloom in this cycle of life and death, withering and flourishing!

Four swords!

Four intents!

At this moment, they seemed to be connected by an invisible thread!

They are no longer isolated wills but form a more complete and grander outline of the ”Dao”!

Xu Ran’s Heart Spirit is unprecedentedly clear!

In his Sea of Spirit, the green phantom of the ”Life Derivation” sword suddenly burst into dazzling brilliance! The rich life aura spread like tides!

The three sword shadows originally suspended above the golden ocean seemed to be infected by this life aura.

The Wooden Sword representing the resilience of mortals trembled gently, as if injected with new vigor, becoming more solid.

The Rusted Iron Sword representing Death’s Annihilation, the deathly silence on its blade under the torrent of life vitality, seemed to have a hint of transformation?

Deathly aura did not disappear; instead, it became more restrained, more profound, as if nurturing a power born from the end!

And the blood-colored fierce sword, the violent slaughtering aura, seemed somewhat calmed under the encirclement of this life’s aura, gaining a touch of solemnity.

Murderous intent still exists, but is no longer pure destruction, as if encrypted with a layer of meaning of ”why fighting.”

The green brilliance, like an adhesive, subtly merged these originally conflicting intents!

They remain independent, but between each other, a delicate balance and resonance is produced!

Xu Ran can feel his Sea of Spirit undergoing a tremendous transformation under the combined influence of these four Sword Intents!

The golden ocean becomes vaster, more profound!

And in the deepest sealed part of the Sea of Spirit, the unknown area trembles even more fiercely!

As if something is about to break free!

”Ugh,” Xu Ran groaned, feeling a tremor from the depths of his soul.

That sensation is like a giant that has slept for endless ages slowly awakening, about to open his eyes!

”Insight into reincarnation, understanding life and death, not bad.” Yu Kong’s voice carried a hint of praise, ”The way of Life Derivation lies in cycles, ceaselessly. You can break through appearances, touch the source, showing decent perception.”

Xu Ran slowly stood up and bowed deeply to this boundless green sea of life.

Whether this scene is an Illusion Realm or the manifestation of true will, the Life Dao contained within has greatly benefited him.

With this bow, the Primitive Forest before his eyes resembled a receding tide, shadows and light shifting, and he returned to that familiar, empty, deathly silent third layer of the great tower.

Above, the circular formation of twelve iron swords continued to rotate slowly.

The emerald green Iron Sword representing ”Life Derivation,” its glow gradually receded, returning to its simple form.

And in Xu Ran’s Sea of Spirit, the phantom of the emerald green sword has already paralleled the Wooden Sword, Rusted Iron Sword, and blood-colored fierce sword, emitting gentle yet vast life brilliance, interplaying with the other three swords, forming a strange harmony.

The prototype of the four fundamental intents has already taken root in his heart.

Xu Ran can clearly feel that his understanding of the ”Dao” is no longer the previous vague and unclear, but has a perception that, while still rudimentary, is more systematic and deeper!
