Baby with Daoist Monarch System

Chapter 455 Guardian Origin

His aura has completely stabilized at the mid-stage of the Dao quest! Moreover, his mid-stage is entirely different from ordinary cultivators.

His ”Dao” is the path of guardian!

The spiritual power within him has completely transformed, no longer simple spiritual power, but infused with a kind of special law power called ”Guardian Origin”!

This origin power has a natural restraining effect on evil and chaos.

His body, after being baptized in the core area and battling gray creatures, has become more refined and resilient.

Every cell of his body seems to contain an indomitable will.

A faint golden mark appears occasionally on his brow, resonating with the Guardian Origin within him.

This mark is not born, but naturally formed after he perceived the Guardian Will and his body’s transformation, symbolizing his identity as a guardian.

He slowly opens his eyes, where there’s more than sharpness, a tranquility born from experiencing vicissitudes.

He stands up, feeling the abundant power inside him and the faint resonance with this ancient battlefield.

”Celestial Fall Battlefield... Sealed Land... Guardians... Master of Nothingness...”

After killing that gray creature, he obtained some fragmented yet crucial pieces of information from its remaining consciousness fragments.

Though not as comprehensive as what Xu Qinghan obtained from the Jade Scroll, it’s enough to piece together the outline of some truths!

Master of Nothingness!

Source of darkness!

The Celestial Fall Battlefield is where guardians sacrificed themselves to seal part of the Master of Nothingness’s power and minions!

The dark gold armor is the relic of a great guardian! It passed its ”Guardian Will” to him!

And those gray creatures are ”awakened beings,” polluted or controlled by the power of the Master of Nothingness! They attempt to break the seal, allowing the power of the Master of Nothingness to descend completely!

Yu Kong’s eyes are heavy. He finally understands how heavy the burden on his shoulders is!

This isn’t a personal hatred, nor just sect revenge. It’s a war between light and darkness sweeping across the cosmos!

And he, an ordinary disciple of Kao Mountain Sect, accidentally became part of this war, inheriting the fallen guardian’s will!

”Guardian... turns out it’s about guarding this cosmos...”

He takes a deep breath, feeling the chaos and deathly silence permeating the air.

He looks up at the distant stars, seemingly penetrating the endless distance to see the evil hidden in the darkness.

He knows he must become stronger! Not just for revenge, but to fulfill that heavy promise!

He begins a deeper exploration in the depths of this Celestial Fall Battlefield.

He’s no longer just searching for fortune, but for the traces left by guardians, information about the Master of Nothingness, and power to fight darkness!

He encounters more ”awakened beings,” their strength varies, and their attack methods differ. But no matter who the opponent is, Yu Kong never retreats!

His path of guardian continuously perfects in battles, his Guardian Origin power grows stronger.

He learns how to utilize the residual law fragments in Celestial Fall Battlefield, how to leverage the power of this Sealed Land!

He discovers that deep in the Celestial Fall Battlefield hides some ancient restrictions left by guardians.

These restrictions not only reinforce the seal but also hide some guardian’s inheritance or trials.

He enters a mist-covered valley, where an ancient illusion array is hidden.

In the illusion array, he seems to return to the moment Kao Mountain Sect was destroyed, seeing Xu Ran’s cold eyes, hearing Xu Qinghan’s desperate cries.

The illusion array attempts to evoke his inner fear and anger, trying to make him lost in the obsession of vengeance.

But Yu Kong doesn’t lose himself.

He knows anger is power, but guardian is direction! Revenge is not the purpose, it’s to protect more people from suffering the same fate!

His eyes sparkle with a resolute light, stepping out of the illusion array step by step.

”What I protect... is the hope of living beings! The future of the cosmos!”

The moment he walks out of the illusion array, his mindset elevates again. He feels the Guardian Origin within him become purer, and the golden mark on his brow becomes clearer.

The illusion array disappears, and in the center of the valley appears an ancient altar. On the altar, a stone book quietly rests.

The book cover is engraved with ancient characters—”Guardian’s Manual”.

Yu Kong steps forward, picks up the book. A cool, heavy feeling comes.

He opens the first page, ancient characters come to view.

”We are born to guard, fight to guard, fall to guard...”

”Master of Nothingness, devours all, twists laws, obliterates living beings’ ’self’...”

”The way to resist, not the strength of force, but the resilience of heart, indomitability of will...”

”Gather the beliefs of all beings, converge the origin of the cosmos, ignite the fire of guardian...”

”Celestial Fall as the base of seal, ancient as the land of inheritance...”

”If the successors are fortunate to see this, please remember our will, inherit the responsibility of guardian...”

Yu Kong reads word by word, as if hearing whispers from ancient guardians across time and space.

He comprehends more! The terrifying aspect of the Master of Nothingness is its ability to twist laws and devour ”self”. The key to resisting it is not mere power, but will and belief!

Celestial Fall Battlefield and Ancient Restricted Area are two important nodes left by guardians! One for sealing, one for inheritance!
