Chapter 1688 Three Immortal Runes Merge

Exclusive trading rights meant huge profits and resource channels, while joint control ensured the security of the channels, which was in line with his original vision.

As for returning regularly, with the connection to Miaoyin, the Xuanhuang Great Realm has become like his second home.

Zhang Xuan immediately agreed decisively: "I will do as Fellow Daoist Xuanhuang says. I swear on the Great Dao that I will not fail the trust placed in me by the Xuanhuang Great Realm, nor will I fail the kindness of Miaoyin!"

A seemingly tense conflict ended in such an unexpected way.

Several months later, a grand celebration was held in the Xuanhuang Great Realm to celebrate Zhang Xuan and Fairy Miaoyin becoming Daoist partners.

Meanwhile, under the joint supervision of Xuanhuang Daojun and Zhang Xuan, the special spatial threads connecting the Ascension Platform of the Myriad Manifestations Merchant Alliance were officially set up deep within the Xuanhuang Source Eye.

However, it will take several decades to complete the construction of this spatial silk thread.

Unable to leave the Xuanhuang Great Realm now, Zhang Xuan had no choice but to focus his thoughts and energy on studying the various arts and crafts of the Xuanhuang Great Realm, frequently seeking out talented individuals in these arts to discuss the Dao.

As the master craftsman of the Heavenly Craftsman Dao Lord, who was the leading figure in weapon crafting and array formation in the Xuanhuang Great Realm, Zhang Xuan naturally became a frequent visitor.

“Fellow Daoist Tiangong, is the ultimate essence of craftsmanship found in spirit, form, or perhaps... the Dao?” Zhang Xuan asked bluntly.

After a moment of contemplation, Tiangong Daojun said, “Fellow Daoist Zhang’s question goes straight to the source. In my humble opinion, the form of a vessel is its shell, its spirit is its soul, and its Dao is its immortal foundation. However, the Dao carried by a vessel is mostly a single or compound Dao principle. For example, the core of my Li Huo Furnace is the Great Dao of Fire and a trace of the opportunity for creation. As you said, you want to fuse several completely different supreme immortal patterns into one vessel so that their Daos do not conflict but can instead generate each other… I have never heard of such a concept before, it is almost a paradox.”

"It's not a paradox. If we consider all things to have a structure, then immortal patterns are also a higher-dimensional structure of laws. The conflict stems from the misalignment and repulsion of the structures. If we can find their common joints and construct a higher-level Dao that can govern these different structures, is it possible?"

Upon hearing this, the Celestial Craftsman Daoist's pupils contracted sharply, and he fell into deep thought for a long time. Finally, he smiled bitterly and said, "Fellow Daoist's perspective is extraordinary and his intention is lofty. I... cannot reach it. Perhaps, only the principles of all things and the all-encompassing Dao path that Fellow Daoist possesses have a sliver of possibility of realizing such a miracle."

Subsequently, Zhang Xuan consulted several Dao Lords and Grandmasters who were well-versed in different laws, and even observed several fragments of Xuan Tian Treasures treasured in the Xuanhuang Great Realm that contained incomplete innate Dao rhymes, feeling the Dao structure within them that, though incomplete, was still perfectly formed.

Drawing on the strengths of many, Zhang Xuan returned to the Xuanhuang Source Eye and once again immersed himself in the deep deduction of "The Principles of the Weaving of All Things".

The secret technique of "Weaving the Laws of All Things" was fully activated, and the three immortal runes [Palace Immortal Rune], [Burning Heaven Immortal Rune], and [Bridge to All Realms Immortal Rune] were infinitely magnified and analyzed, transforming into three threads composed of countless extremely complex basic laws, traversing the long river of laws.

The Tree of the Great Dao resounded with the myriad true meanings, and tens of thousands of leaves shone with brilliance. Every true spiritual inheritance and every insight into the laws transformed into resources, merging into this vast process of deduction.

Finally, through the combined effect of the "Weaving of All Things" and the Tree of the Great Dao, the framework of the Great Dao Immortal Runes, which connects the destruction and creation, was generated with "reincarnation" as its core and "rule" as its guiding principle!

"This is the moment!"

Zhang Xuan suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze flashing with sharp light.

Without further hesitation, he used himself as a furnace and his immense Dao power as a catalyst to begin fusing the several eighth-order Dao crystals he had collected.

"boom--"

The moment the three immortal runes were forcibly pulled closer and merged into the eighth-order Dao Crystal, a law storm even more terrifying than expected erupted.

The light of order seeks to settle the universe, the flames of heaven seek to ignite all laws, and the power of bridging tears through the void.

The Xuanhuang Origin Eye trembled violently, and the Great Dao of Chaos boiled like a sea!

Zhang Xuan's body trembled violently, and cracks instantly appeared all over his body, with pale golden blood seeping out continuously.

This is a crushing defeat at the level of the Great Dao, far more lethal than an impact of energy.

But his eyes were incredibly firm, and his heart remained calm and undisturbed.

The leaves of the Myriad True Meanings spread out a magnificent Daoist rhythm, and countless tentacles penetrated deep into the core of the storm, precisely connecting the three raging rivers of laws!

This is an extremely dangerous process; any mistake could cause the immortal runes he has mastered to completely spiral out of control.

However, with the absolute insight of "The Principles of All Things" and the profound foundation of the Great Dao Tree, the seemingly impossible fusion of immortal runes is gradually becoming a reality.

Three raging rivers of laws began to slowly intertwine and entwine along the framework of immortal runes constructed by Zhang Xuan.

The flames of destruction burn more purely within the framework of order, the light of order flows more nimbly through the veins of connection, and the power of connection becomes more stable in the cycle of destruction and rebirth!

After an unknown amount of time, when the last bit of conflict was resolved and the final weave was perfectly completed, "Buzz—"

A voice, seemingly from the very beginning of time, resounded silently!

Outside the Xuanhuang Source Eye, the entire Xuanhuang Great World instantly froze, then transformed into a desolate wasteland.

A spark of chaotic light was born, which soon evolved into the magnificent phenomena of palaces being laid, civilization being ignited, and divine bridges spanning the sky!

The celestial runes and Daoist aura, as if they had created the heavens and the earth, swept across the entire surrounding tens of millions of miles!

The strange phenomena subsided, and the storm within the Xuanhuang Source Eye calmed down.

After the three immortal runes merged into these eighth-order Dao crystals...

The eighth-order Dao Crystal was fused into an ancient seal, which floated quietly in front of Zhang Xuan.

The seal's base resembles a miniature celestial palace, its knob like an eternal flame, and its interior contains the aura of endless pathways. It possesses no terrifying pressure, yet naturally exudes an aura that transcends all laws.

The Seal of Reincarnation of All Heavens, a treasure at the half-step Xuan Tian level, is complete!

Zhang Xuan reached out and held the seal, and a feeling of perfect harmony and effortless control arose spontaneously within him.

With a flash of light from the seal, his injuries were instantly healed.

When he stepped out of the Source Eye, Xuanhuang Daojun and the other Daojuns stood solemnly outside.

Sensing the primordial Dao essence and perfect governing Dao rhythm contained within the seal, Dao Lord Xuanhuang took a deep breath and spoke first:

"Zhang Tianzun used the 'Principles of the Weaving of All Things' to understand the origin, used the Tree of Myriad Paths to govern and harmonize, integrated the wisdom of a hundred schools of thought to form his own path, and forged this supreme Dao artifact. This is a feat that rivals the creation of heaven and earth!"

"If it weren't for the 'Principles of Weaving All Things' given to me by Daoist Xuanhuang, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to make such rapid progress in the arts."

"The 'Weaving of All Things' is inherently in harmony with your Great Dao Tree that governs all things. In my hands, it is a treasure that has been covered in dust, and it should rightfully belong to you."

"I will always remember the kindness of the Xuanhuang Great Realm," Zhang Xuan said sincerely.

Time flies, and stars shift.

Zhang Xuan unknowingly lingered in this Xuanhuang Great Realm, which resembled a paradise, for decades.

The spatial threads have been opened.

He also needs to leave this Xuanhuang Great Realm immediately.

However, before leaving, Zhang Xuan had two important things to do.
