531: Daotai's legacy, guided by our ancestors

The light of the Hongmeng Dao Platform was still blazing. The lingering aura of Lu Chen's phantom had not yet faded when seven brilliant light projections suddenly emerged from the Dao Platform. The light projections slowly solidified, transforming into seven Cultivators dressed in different attires. Some wore battle armor, some held scrolls, and some had talisman brushes hanging from their waists. All of them were enveloped in a rich Grandmist Dao charm. They were precisely the seven ancestors who had fought alongside Lu Chen to Seal the Lord of Ultimate Silence.

Lu Chen’s phantom, who was at the forefront, reappeared. His gaze gently fell upon Lu Shaoyou, and his voice, like a grand bell, resonated throughout the entire Hongmeng Ultimate Realm: "Lu Shaoyou, your ability to activate the initial heart light spot, integrate the power of myriad laws, pass the Heaven-Opening Trial, and open the gate to the Hongmeng Ultimate Realm is sufficient proof that you are the New Guardian awaited by the myriad realms."

The gazes of the other six ancestors also fell on Lu Shaoyou, filled with scrutiny and expectation. The woman holding the talisman brush was Yu Lan. She looked at Zhao Yanran not far away, a hint of admiration flashing in her eyes. The burly man in battle armor was the War Venerable from back then, and his gaze landed on the Mo Lin Leopard and Golden Armored Lion, nodding slightly.

Lu Shaoyou's heart was stirred. He quickly bowed in salute: "Junior Lu Shaoyou greets the seven ancestors!"

Zhao Yanran, Xuan Feng, and Chaos Child also bowed one after another, their hearts filled with reverence. To personally witness the legendary Guardians of the Myriad Realms was a great Opportunity for them.

Lu Chen waved his hand, and his voice slowly sounded: "No need for formalities. I summoned you all today to pass on the responsibility of guarding the myriad realms. The Seal of the Lord of Ultimate Silence is about to loosen, and the ultimate silence catastrophe may descend at any time. Only by mastering the Myriad Worlds Guardian Art can you mobilize the power of the seven realms spirit web and Seal the Lord of Ultimate Silence once more."

With that, Lu Chen raised his hand and waved. A golden stream of light shot out from his fingertip, entering Lu Shaoyou's glabella. Within the stream of light was an incomparably profound Cultivation Technique, precisely the Myriad Worlds Guardian Art, which the seven ancestors had condensed with their lifelong efforts.

The moment the Cultivation Technique poured into his Sea of Consciousness, Lu Shaoyou felt countless pieces of information appear in his mind. The Myriad Worlds Guardian Art, with the Hongmeng Dao Platform as its core and the seven realms spirit web as its Veins, could mobilize the Guardian power of the myriad realms to form an indestructible barrier, resisting the erosion of Ultimate Silence Power. More importantly, this Cultivation Technique could perfectly integrate with the Myriad Worlds Myriad Laws Art, unleashing power far beyond that of a single technique.

"This is the Myriad Worlds Guardian Art; you must comprehend it well," Lu Chen's voice sounded again. "The initial heart light spot deep within your Sea of Consciousness was formed from a wisp of Guardian Origin that remained when we Sealed the Lord of Ultimate Silence. Its choosing you means it believes you can inherit our will, balance the myriad realms, and protect all living beings."

Lu Shaoyou was incredibly shocked. So the initial heart light spot had such a background. He quickly circulated the Myriad Worlds Myriad Laws Art, thoroughly comprehending the Profound Truths of the Myriad Worlds Guardian Art. The two Cultivation Techniques intertwined, and a golden light of ten thousand zhang erupted in his Sea of Consciousness. The Grandmist Dao patterns on his Golden Core became even clearer, subtly resonating with the seven realms spirit web.

Just then, a crisp sound rang out—

"Clatter!"

A golden Jade Slip fell from the Dao Platform and rolled to Lu Shaoyou's feet. On the Jade Slip were engraved the five characters "Guardian Legacy Record," which detailed the process of the seven ancestors Sealing the Lord of Ultimate Silence back then, as well as their insights and experiences in guarding the myriad realms.

"Guardian Legacy Record!" Lu Shaoyou bent down to pick up the Jade Slip, his heart filled with gratitude. With this Legacy Record, his understanding of the Dao of Guardianship would undoubtedly become even more profound.

At the same time, Yu Lan's phantom slowly floated in front of Zhao Yanran, holding a light green Jade Slip in her hand: "Little girl, your talent is exceptional, and your comprehension of the Dao of Formations far surpasses ordinary people. This 'Formation State of Mind Chapter' is the crystallization of my lifelong efforts. Today, I bestow it upon you. May you use your state of mind to control Formations and use Formations to protect all living beings."

Zhao Yanran took the Jade Slip, her heart filled with excitement, and quickly bowed in thanks: "Thank you, Senior Yu Lan! Junior will certainly live up to your trust!"

She probed the Jade Slip with her Divine Sense, and the Profound Truths of the Formation State of Mind Chapter instantly flooded her mind. This Cultivation Technique emphasized "heart and Formation as one"; the power of a Formation depended on the Formation master's state of mind. The firmer the state of mind, the stronger the Formation's power. Zhao Yanran's Dao Heart was already extremely stable, and after integrating this Cultivation Technique, her understanding of talisman Formations instantly rose to a new height.

"Clatter!"

Another Jade Slip, engraved with "Formation State of Mind Fusion," fell and rolled to her feet. Zhao Yanran picked up the Jade Slip, a joyful smile appearing on her face.

Xuan Feng and Chaos Child also gained their own harvests. The War Venerable's phantom passed a set of "Battle Formation Unity Art" to Xuan Feng, which could integrate the Dragon Trapping Formation with battle techniques, causing its power to surge. The ancestor of the Chaos Realm, on the other hand, passed a Chaos Origin Pearl to Chaos Child, which could help him condense his Chaos True Body faster.

The Mo Lin Leopard and Golden Armored Lion also received gifts from the ancestors; a trace of the War Venerable's Battle Intent integrated into their bodies, further enhancing their combat power.

Just as everyone was immersed in the joy of the Legacy, a gentle figure slowly walked out from the shadows of the Hongmeng Dao Platform. The person wore simple white cloth, with delicate features, and was none other than Myriad Guardian.

"Lord Myriad Guardian!" Lu Shaoyou's heart filled with joy, and he quickly bowed in salute.

The phantoms of the seven ancestors nodded in acknowledgment upon seeing Myriad Guardian. Myriad Guardian was formed from the Guardian will they left behind back then, tasked with finding New Guardians and passing on the responsibility of guardianship.

Myriad Guardian walked up to Lu Shaoyou, looking at him gently: "Lu Shaoyou, you have passed all the trials and inherited the Legacy of the ancestors. From now on, you are the New Guardian of the myriad realms."

With that, Myriad Guardian took out a silver token from his embrace. The token was engraved with the pattern of the Seven Realms and emitted a faint Grandmist Dao charm. This was the myriad realms guardian token; whoever held this token could mobilize all the Guardian powers of the Seven Realms.

"This is the myriad realms guardian token, I bestow it upon you," Myriad Guardian said solemnly as he handed the token to Lu Shaoyou. "With this token, you can command the Cultivators of the Seven Realms to jointly resist the ultimate silence catastrophe."

Lu Shaoyou took the token, feeling a heavy responsibility fall upon his shoulders. He gripped the token tightly and solemnly said: "Junior will certainly guard the myriad realms, live up to the trust of the ancestors, and live up to the expectations of Lord Myriad Guardian!"

Zhao Yanran, Xuan Feng, and Chaos Child exchanged glances, then stepped forward and bowed to Lu Shaoyou: "We are willing to follow Brother Lu, jointly resist the ultimate silence catastrophe, and protect the peace of the myriad realms!"

The Mo Lin Leopard and Golden Armored Lion also let out a low roar, their guardian marks on their foreheads flashing with white light, as if pledging allegiance.

Myriad Guardian looked at everyone, a relieved smile flashing in his eyes: "Very good. With such like-minded companions, why worry that the ultimate silence catastrophe cannot be overcome?"

The Legacy ceremony was thus finally completed in Perfection. The phantoms of the seven ancestors slowly dissipated, transforming into seven streams of light that merged into the Hongmeng Dao Platform, becoming part of the seven realms spirit web.

The moment the ancestors' phantoms dissipated, the Hongmeng Dao Platform suddenly erupted with a strong light. Within the light, a clear image was projected—it was a pitch-black cave, and deep within the cave, a dense Ultimate Silence Power, concentrated to the extreme, was entrenched. This was the hiding place of the last remnants of ultimate silence—the Ultimate Silence Origin Cavern!

In the image, countless demonic creatures polluted by Ultimate Silence Power could also be seen, as well as a blurry black figure. The aura of that figure was more powerful than any remnants of ultimate silence encountered before!

"Ultimate Silence Origin Cavern!" A hint of solemnity flashed in Lu Shaoyou's eyes as he tightened his grip on the myriad realms guardian token.

He knew that the end of the Legacy was the beginning of the decisive battle.

The Ultimate Silence Origin Cavern held the final secret of the ultimate silence catastrophe, and also the key to Sealing the Lord of Ultimate Silence.

Myriad Guardian looked at the image, his expression solemn, and said: "The Ultimate Silence Origin Cavern is the Origin of Ultimate Silence Power. The leader of the remnants of ultimate silence within the cavern is a wisp of the Lord of Ultimate Silence's residual soul, and his cultivation has reached the Early Nascent Soul Stage. To completely purge the remnants of ultimate silence and Seal the Lord of Ultimate Silence, you must go to the Ultimate Silence Origin Cavern and fight him!"

Lu Shaoyou nodded, a resolute light flashing in his eyes. He turned to look at Zhao Yanran, Xuan Feng, and Chaos Child, and said in a deep voice: "Fellow companions, the ultimate silence catastrophe is upon us, and the myriad realms are in peril. As Guardians, we must not shirk our duty. We shall go to the Ultimate Silence Origin Cavern and fight the remnants of ultimate silence to the death!"

"We are willing to fight with Brother Lu!" Zhao Yanran, Xuan Feng, and Chaos Child shouted in unison, their voices strong and clear, resonating through the sky.

The Mo Lin Leopard and Golden Armored Lion roared towards the sky, their voices shaking the surroundings, brimming with Battle Intent.

The light of the Hongmeng Dao Platform shone down, illuminating their determined faces.

The decisive battle at the Ultimate Silence Origin Cavern was about to begin.

And the new Guardian team would also write their own legend in this decisive battle.
