Chapter 1: The Dao's Life-Taking Yuanshi Seal, the Indestructible Will and the Soul Fire

It is pitch black and gray, with no sky above and no earth below. There are no people, gods, Buddhas, sun, moon, stars, or even the concepts of years and time in the middle!

Here, the sky is empty, the earth is empty, people are empty, gods are empty, Buddha is also empty, the sun is empty, the moon is empty, the stars are empty, and time is also empty!

Of course this is not the boundless void, but the famous chaotic void! Here, apart from Chaos, there is nothing else but the Chaos Dome. Even if there is something else, it cannot withstand the overbearing erosion of the Chaos airflow in the Chaos. It is empty even if it is not empty!

Yuan Shi found that he seemed to be dreaming. In the dream, the world was dark, empty, and boundless. There was no light or sound. There was only boundless darkness and boundless loneliness, but he did not feel uncomfortable at all. , he seems to be wandering in the sea, boundless, riding a boat, basking in the sun comfortably. He felt his soul feel refreshed.

"Uh——!" Yuan Shi opened his eyes, but there was no light at all. He touched his body, but it seemed like nothingness, and he couldn't touch anything.

"Sure enough, I am only in a state of soul now!" Yuan Shi said as expected, but he still couldn't hide the disappointment in his tone. Are you dead? Or dead? He thought of all the things in his past life. At this moment, it was like a passing cloud, and all the things in the past had disappeared.

After the initial discomfort, Yuan Shi's soul seemed to be standing on the void, and he began to look around in private, but what he saw was endless darkness. There are no endless ghosts in imagination, no bull heads and horse faces, and no Huangquan River, Naihe Bridge, Wangxiang Terrace, Sansheng Stone...

"Where is this? Is there anyone?" Yuan Shi suddenly shouted. The darkness and unknown around him made him panic. His whole soul seemed to be trembling, as if it would dissipate in the next moment.

"What's going on? I'm dead? I became a soul. Where is this place? How did I get here? I thought that this time I could wake up and be reincarnated, fulfilling my wish of overcoming the tribulation and ascending in my previous life. . But what is the situation now?" After shouting for a long time, Yuan Shi fell silent and fell into deep thought.

This situation was unknown to him. He began to wander around in the darkness, hoping to find a glimmer of light. He wanted to see where exactly this place was? In this way, I don't know how long it took, his eyes gradually became irritable, slowly became dull, and even approached despair from the initial expectation. The magic skills he practiced have begun to bite back on his soul.

At this moment, suddenly, a white jade circular seal in the soul emits a dazzling white light!

At this moment, Yuan Shi, who had reached the edge of the cliff of despair, suddenly stopped and suddenly woke up.

"Hey! Isn't this the Yuanshi Seal that I have never seen through? How come it is in my soul? By the way, I can rely on it to cultivate to the point of overcoming tribulations and becoming an immortal in the Age of Dharma Ending in just three hundred years. , this fully proves its extraordinary, and now it appears in my soul again, maybe my current state is related to it?" Thinking of this, Yuan Shi quickly probed his consciousness into the Yuanshi Seal. Investigate.

"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!..." When a ray of consciousness came into contact with the Yuanshi Seal, Yuan Shi's mind began to buzz.

"The Hongmeng Yuanshi Seal? The first of the Hongmeng Nine Treasures alongside the Hongmeng End Seal? The source of all the ways, the beginning of all things? Hiss? This is..." Yuan Shi's eyes showed an incredible look.

It turned out that at that moment, when he touched the Yuanshi Seal, he felt a breath of the origin of the avenue pouring into his soul. In an instant, he seemed to understand something, and yet he seemed to understand nothing at all.

In shock and ecstasy, just when he wanted to go deeper and explore the mystery of this "Hongmeng Yuanshi Seal", suddenly the Yuanshi Seal shook with a bang, rising from the soul, appearing in the dark space, dazzling white light flashing, Spreading around, it suddenly illuminates all directions.

Buzz! The Yuan Shi Seal suddenly shook, and the dazzling white light expanded rapidly, filling the surrounding void. Suddenly, it turned into a stream of light, carrying Yuan Shi's soul, soaring into the sky, as fast as thunder and lightning. It cuts through the void, crackling, as if it wants to break through the endless darkness, and also seems to break the shackles of fate, and pursue the origin of the avenue...

In this strange space, even though it is shrouded in the dazzling white light of the Yuanshi Seal, it is still full of loneliness and coldness. Following the Yuanshi Seal, Yuan Shi's soul gradually rose. When it reached a certain height, his soul suddenly trembled, but he felt as if he was trapped by countless chains. At the same time, a wave of energy came from high in the sky. The pressure of nothingness suddenly surged.

His body rose a hundred feet, a thousand feet... two thousand feet... five thousand feet... The higher he rose, the stronger the pressure and the stronger the restraint. His soul began to tremble and become illusory. It was not originally there. His bright eyes began to dim.

"It's not the end yet?" Yuan Shi gritted his teeth. There was still endless nothingness and boundless darkness around him. Even though it was covered by the original white light, Yuan Shi still understood that he was far from escaping from the dark space.

As he continued to rise, Yuan Shi felt more and more uncomfortable, as if countless chains were binding him, tearing at his soul, preventing him from rising. As it rises higher, the tearing force becomes stronger.

If it weren't for the light curtain guarding him from the Primordial Seal, his soul would have collapsed and split long ago. Gradually, his soul became darker and darker, as if he was extremely weak. When it reached eight thousand feet, Yuan Shi's soul suddenly shook, as if it was being torn apart.

"I can still continue to rise!" Yuan Shi's eyes were determined, and he showed the spirit that he had when he was fighting for his life against the sky, competing with thunder, refusing to admit defeat, accepting his fate, not compromising, never giving up, and having no regrets until death. Ruthless, with a spirit of fighting against life and taking charge of everything, he gritted his teeth and persisted.

At nine thousand feet, his soul had completely dimmed. His hands, feet, and body seemed to have dissipated, leaving only a head that was still persevering. The pressure was getting stronger and stronger. In his soul, it seemed that There has been some kind of strange change, it is getting stronger and stronger, and it seems to be undergoing some kind of transformation.

"I saw it. Ten thousand feet. At that position, one can definitely transcend. Nine is the limit and ten is transcendence. As long as I persist for a moment, I will definitely be able to jump out." Yuan Shi's condition is very bad. If he is not careful, he will jump out. Dissipated, but at this moment, his dim eyes suddenly revealed an unprecedented intensity. That is an unswerving persistence!

The brighter, the darker. The closer he gets to the target, the stronger the pressure Yuan Shi will bear, and the more painful his soul will be.

If the will is immortal, the soul is immortal; if the obsession is unwavering, the hope is immortal!

As it continued to rise, the pressure around Yuan Shi became stronger, and even his soul became hotter and hotter, as if it was about to melt. However, Yuan Shi's eyes were full of disregard for everything and full of determination and persistence. No outside world could affect him. His face was full of ferocity and he shouted:

"ah--!"

"boom--"

His soul was ignited, and a white flame ignited. The flame swayed, as if it would go out the next moment. However, no matter how strong the external pressure is, this flame will not be extinguished.

This is the fire of the soul, also known as the fire of hope. It is as famous as the fire of Nirvana among the ten true fires. It has the same purpose but is even better.

The fire of the soul can only be ignited by using the immortal will as the guide, the unswerving heart as the lamp, the hopeful persistence as the core, the soul as the fuel, and the help of almost unbelievably harsh external conditions.

Once the soul fire is ignited, if the soul is not extinguished, the soul fire will not be extinguished; if the soul fire is not extinguished, the soul will not be extinguished. Moreover, it can also refine one's soul all the time, making the soul purer and enlightenment clearer. With the fire of the soul, all evil spirits can be warded off, and they dare not come to you, let alone take possession of their bodies.

As for the fire of Nirvana, it is the fire of rebirth. Those who possess the fire of Nirvana can rise from the dead and go one step further. Usually it only appears on the immortal phoenix.

Because of their powerful abilities, these two kinds of true fire are so rare that they are almost extinct. Of course, this is also the true fire that all cultivators are eager to possess.

These just happened in an instant, and even Yuan Shi couldn't feel them, because there was only one goal left in his eyes, and that was - jump out! For this goal, he forgot the pain, the pressure, himself, and everything else.

boom--!
