Chapter 923: Chapter 450: Enlightenment, Primordial Dao
What kind of grand hall was this, vast beyond measure, majestic in spirit, so large that one could not see its bounds in a single glance, almost a realm of its own.
Through the hazy mist, Lu Yun walked on, occasionally seeing pillars carved with various fierce beasts, standing tall in the hall as if they reached straight into the heavens.
Lu Yun kept moving forward, cautiously maintaining a steady pace, neither fast nor slow, and so he walked for a day and a night.
In this place, the passage of time was imperceptible, yet he was certain that he had wandered in the hall for approximately such a long time, and he still had not reached the end.
Moreover, in the vast, mysterious hall, he saw no other living beings, nor did he encounter Pang Yan and others.
Suddenly, a faint, elusive sound came through, startling the soul, jolting one awake, deafening and profound.
…
The sound came quickly and left just as fast.
“What is this?” Lu Yun halted his steps and murmured to himself. Previously, he had only heard indistinctly, unable to discern the source of the sound, nor what it represented, only faintly feeling that he had missed something.
He continued forward, but this time more slowly, elevating his state of mind to the extreme.
Before long, the sound faintly reached him again, like the sound of the Dao, melodious and profound, as if coming from the ninth heaven, becoming grander and more rousing the further he ventured.
“It should be right ahead.”
After pinpointing the source of the sound, Lu Yun quickened his pace.
The sound of the Dao thundered, coming and going, incessant, entering through his ears, reverberating in his Sea of Consciousness.

In the end, the sound of the Dao was like the ringing of a great bell, striking at the heart, and as he approached closer to the source, the mist thinned, secrets flowed through the void, and runes flickered.
Such anomalies inevitably filled Lu Yun with joy, chasing after the increasingly clear sound of the Dao, he arrived at a certain place.
It was a tall platform of the Dao, exuding a mysterious aura.
The sound of the Dao was coming from here.
No, it should be said that it was coming from within this tall platform of the Dao.
Lu Yun stepped forward, wishing to explore the mystery.
Suddenly, the platform shone with Intense Brightness, runes flickered, and the sound of the Dao became even more resounding.
Then, with a ‘boom’, the middle collapsed abruptly, and a column of light soared into the sky.
In the center of that column of light, an ancient tome was displayed, emanating an aura of the ancient Great Dao.
“This…” Even Lu Yun was shaken to the core; this turn of events was so sudden that it caught him off-guard.
In his view, the path to obtaining opportunity was bound to be fraught with difficulties and dangers, after many hardships, one would reap rewards.
Unexpectedly, by following the sound of the Dao, he had found this platform, and because of his arrival, the ancient tome hidden within the platform presented itself automatically.
The sound of the Dao floated through the empty grand hall, the light on the platform flickered unpredictably, ancient symbols flowed from the ancient tome at the center of the column of light, radiating the essence of the Great Dao, and Lu Yun, filled with excitement, had eyes brimming with desire, utterly enthralled.
However, he quickly snapped out of his trance, realizing that if the sound of the Dao had attracted him here, it might attract Pang Yan and the others as well.
He did not believe that door of the grand hall could hold those people off for long.
“The best course of action is to take the ancient tome away.”
With a sparkle in his eye, Lu Yun strode forward, but as he was about to touch the platform, a tremendous force appeared, forcibly pushing him back.
Unwilling to accept this, he repeatedly tried to approach, but to no avail, ultimately only managing to stand seven steps away, unable to advance further.
“Is it possible that I have no fate with the fortune of this place?” Lu Yun sighed, realizing that something was preventing him from getting closer, clearly barring him from entry.
At that moment, the sound of the Dao rang out once again, booming within his mind like a bell.
An epiphany struck Lu Yun, and he followed the rhythm of the sound of the Dao, as unique melodies emerged.
He sat down cross-legged on the spot, concentrating fully on listening to the sound of the Dao.
Initially, he could not keep up with the rhythm at all, but as he devoted his entire mind to it, he resonated with the sound of the Dao.
In the process, his body glowed, the light from the runes on the platform was drawn to him, swirling around his head and body, intertwining with the aura of the Great Dao that permeated from the ancient tome.
As Lu Yun meditated, the sound of the Dao did not cease, the essence it emitted growing richer, and one rune after another appeared on his body.
Time unknown, the ancient tome began to turn its pages on its own to the second one, and the radiance from Lu Yun became Intense Brightness, exuding a mysterious aura.
Only after seven days did Lu Yun open his eyes, now full of vitality, his appearance serene and venerable, enveloped by an ancient Dao.
The ancient tome on the platform was a rare and dazzling tome that could assist cultivators in comprehending Divine Abilities, transforming Cultivation Techniques, as well as in summarizing their own experiences.
Yet, neither Cultivation Techniques nor Divine Abilities were what Lu Yun sought; with the help of the ancient tome, he summarized his experiences and began to integrate his own Dao.
This Dao encompassed all things within, the exterior saturated with attributes of dominance, coldness, among other qualities.
This Dao could contain everything, capable of transforming into the stately and domineering Emperor’s Way, or into the cold and ruthless Way of Slaughter.
As it was informed by the evolution of Thunder Divine Power, for the time being, he named it the Primordial Dao.
The Primordial refers to the Primordial Cauldron, also implying the concept of unification.
Moreover, since Thunder Divine Power is formed from the convergence of Thunder Power, Divine Elephant Power, holy body power, and World Power, Lu Yun, with the insight from the ancient tome, comprehended his own Dao as the all-encompassing Primordial Dao.
