Chapter 14 The Symbolism of the Character "Dao" and the Test of Daoist Texts

"You don't understand why your cultivation speed has increased, right?"

The woman in the long black dress approached Qing Nu and, looking at the fluctuating aura around Qing Nu, revealed an extremely bright smile.

The moment the woman in the black dress laughed, Qingnu felt her soul being cleansed, and the resulting comfort and pleasure caused her to let out a groan.

"Next time someone asks you to write something, don't just write whatever comes to mind. Some characters in the primordial world have extremely high status, representing many top beings in the primordial world. Once such characters are written with the origin of heaven and earth, they will inevitably attract the attention of that top being."

"If the other party were to possess a treasure of heaven and earth similar to this Three Palaces Imperial Palace, they would be able to directly descend across time and space with their primordial spirit. Even a Golden Immortal level cultivator would not be able to stop them, let alone you."

"Master... uh, sister, do you mean that the word 'Dao' represents you in our primordial world?" Qing Nu looked at the extremely noble and beautiful woman in front of her, thought for a moment, swallowed the words "Master" back, and asked cautiously.

"Yes, but not entirely. This 'Dao' represents both my brother and me. However, my brother studies the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth all day long and usually doesn't concern himself with these things. You should be grateful that if your brother had sensed in advance that it was someone like you contacting him, he would have been very happy to drag you back."

The woman in the long black dress looked at Qingnu, and the smile on her face sent a chill down Qingnu's spine.

Qing Nu didn't know what the older brother the woman in front of her was, but the word "delay" in the woman's mouth made Qing Nu have all sorts of bad guesses. Her face turned pale, and looking at the woman in front of her, Qing Nu chose to stiffly change the subject.

"Is my sister a powerful expert at the Taiyi realm?"

"That's right, it was probably around 80 million years ago when I was lucky enough to advance to the Taiyi realm." The woman in the black dress spoke calmly, but little did she know that this made Qing Nu secretly startled. She had only been born for a little over 3 million years, and Qing Nu had no concept of such a long time.

The power of a Taiyi realm expert was beyond Qing Nu's imagination. She had never even seen a Golden Immortal expert, so she couldn't fathom the power of a Taiyi realm expert, and she didn't believe that she could be noticed by such a powerful being who stood at the pinnacle of the prehistoric world.

"Sister, I wonder if you could tell me the texts used by other top-level powerful beings, so that I can avoid these texts in my future cultivation."

Qingnu looked at the woman in the long black dress and asked, not believing that this Taiyi realm elder sister would accept her as a disciple.

However, after much deliberation, she felt that she couldn't have come all this way for nothing. So, Qing Nu decided to try to get some information about other top experts from the powerful figure in front of her, so that she could have the opportunity to become his disciple in the future.

"You don't want to become my disciple?" The woman in the black dress spoke calmly, but Qing Nu keenly sensed that the other woman seemed to be in a bad mood, and her heart tightened instantly.

"No, no, it's just that I'm worried, worried..."

"Worried that I won't like you?" The woman in the black dress looked at Qing Nu, who was hesitant and stammering, with a blank expression. However, the tense aura that Qing Nu had sensed from her body had completely disappeared.

"The chosen master of the far west, such talent is top-notch in the entire primordial world. Even my past background is not even a fraction of yours. You are certainly qualified to be my disciple."

The words from the woman in the black dress brought a smile to Qing Nu's face, and she was about to kneel down to the woman in the black dress again.

"Wait a minute. Didn't you want to know the characters represented by those top-level experts? I'll tell you now. There are currently eighteen top-level experts in the primordial world. My brother and I share one, so we represent seventeen true characters of heaven and earth."

The woman in the long black dress looked at Qing Nu, her phoenix eyes narrowing slightly, a chilling glint flashing within them. Although the chill wasn't directed at Qing Nu, it still made her feel as if that gaze had pierced through her a million times.

However, the woman in the long black dress seemed not to see the pale-faced, swaying Qing Nu, and slowly began to speak to Qing Nu the words representing the eighteen top beings of the primordial world.

One after another, spiritual light appeared, seemingly representing a certain Dao of Heaven and Earth, in Qing Nu's eyes. Each one was different, and the extremely dazzling Dao light bloomed in this boundless sea of ​​stars.

The roar of ten thousand paths and the collapse of all things—scenes of creation and destruction that are difficult for ordinary people to understand or even touch—appeared one after another in Qing Nu's eyes, as if the Five Sacred Mountains were upon her, or as if the Four Rivers were piercing her soul.

Countless drops of blood spurted from Qing Nu's body, and her originally pure and aloof primordial spirit shattered in that instant.

The woman in the long black dress did not tell Qing Nu that these true texts, representing the pinnacle of existence in this world, were not something ordinary people could look at directly.

These true texts would not attract the attention of top-level experts if they were simply written in ordinary form. However, once you are aware of the other party's existence and are thinking about their existence while writing, the top-level expert corresponding to the true text will inevitably be able to perceive it.

Moreover, these true texts contain the understanding and evolution of the myriad phenomena of heaven and earth by those great beings. Unless one is an existence of the same level, no one can withstand the overwhelming power contained in these true texts.

For a cultivator like Qing Nu to have directly gazed upon nearly all the powerful texts without her knowledge, the fact that she didn't immediately explode and die was already a testament to the protection of the Great Snow Mountain Origin within her.

Blood was gushing from her body. Qingnu looked at the woman in the black dress in front of her with blurred vision. She felt a sense of resentment. The rapidly dissipating life force in her body foreshadowed her impending death.

Qing Nu had nothing to fear about death; it was just that from the moment she was born, she had witnessed the vastness of the three thousand Great Daos of the primordial world under the influence of the Great Snow Mountain's origin.

It was at that time that Qing Nu strengthened her resolve to seek the Dao. However, she never expected that she would not die on the path of seeking the Dao, but would die in this desolate sea of ​​stars.

The woman in the long black dress frowned slightly as she watched Qing Nu slowly fall. Even though Qing Nu was sent by Tai Wei, she would never accept Qing Nu as her chief disciple if she couldn't even pass this test.

"Ultimately, my temperament is not settled, and I am not suited for this."

The woman in the long black dress moved with each step, her figure gradually transforming into fluttering cyan feathers of light. Just then, frosty white snowflakes suddenly drifted down from the sea of ​​stars. The woman in the long black dress reached out and caught a snowflake, a smile appearing on her face. She turned around to look at the cyan maiden who was struggling to stand up.
