Two Realms High Martial Arts: Gathering the Heavens to Become a Great Luo Immortal

Chapter 431 Abyss Saint

On the other side, in the domed council hall of the Supreme Council of the Human Federation.

This place is completely different from the tranquility of Qingquan University.

The enormous circular hall, with its dome simulating a deep starry sky, features slowly rotating star charts symbolizing the Federation's territory and ambitions.

The hundreds of suspended seats in the legislature were arranged in concentric circles, and were almost all occupied at the moment.

Everyone who can sit here is someone who has gone through rigorous selection processes and has a significant influence in major war zones, important star regions, core departments, top universities, or powerful forces.

Among them were many Vajra Realm experts whose auras were as solid as mountains, and a few Vajra Realm elders with white hair and beards and an aura as deep as an abyss, who held key positions.

The atmosphere was extremely solemn and respectful.

The air seemed to freeze, with only the almost inaudible hum of the star map rotating in the dome.

Everyone's expression was unusually solemn, their eyes focused on the holographic projection platform in the center of the circular hall.

Above the platform, a golden scale symbolizing the authority and responsibility of human civilization, along with an intertwined star emblem, floats silently, radiating an invisible pressure.

There was no whispering or wandering around.

Every detail reflects the majesty of this place as the highest decision-making center of human civilization.

Today's discussion concerns not only the official title of a new saint, but also the symbolism and majesty of humanity's eighth pillar of strength in the future interstellar landscape.

The speaker was an old man with a clean face and sharp eyes like a hawk, and he himself was a powerful master of the Vajra Nine Revolutions.

He surveyed the entire hall, his voice resounding clearly and steadily through a special amplification array: "Fellow councilors, in accordance with the 'Saintly Honor Law' and historical precedent, the sole agenda item for the Supreme Council today is to deliberate and confirm the official title of the eighth Human Martial Saint—Lord Li Xijun."

"The title will accompany the saint as they travel through the stars, representing their power, achievements, and status. It is also the respect and definition that our human race holds for them. It must be carefully chosen, appropriate, approved by the saint himself, and able to display the majesty of our human race before all other races."

As the words fell, a highly respected senior councilor from the East Asian region spoke first, his voice strong and resonant: "When Lord Li Xijun ascended to power, extraordinary phenomena enveloped the entire world, plunging heaven and earth into darkness, and all sounds ceased. The law he wields, according to preliminary confirmation by Lord Feng Sheng and other saints, is the unprecedented 'Original Darkness' Law, containing the essence of end..."

The ultimate truth of returning to the void, the background of all things. In my humble opinion, the title should embody the majesty of this supreme law.

A military representative in uniform with gleaming epaulets said in a deep voice, "Lord Li Xijun, in the Blood Kun World, with his indestructible body, withstood a single blow from a Martial Saint and survived, forging an eternal legend. His defense and vitality are so strong that he can be called indestructible. His title should also reflect his indestructible achievements."

Another female councilor from the research consortium adjusted her glasses and calmly added, "As soon as Lord Li Xijun attained sainthood, he selflessly passed down the two major systems of 'Human Immortal' and 'Refining the Spirit,' benefiting the very foundation of civilization. His merit will last for millennia and benefit future generations. Such supreme merit in imparting knowledge and laying the foundation for civilization deserves to be honored with the title of 'Honorary Title'."

"The 'Original Darkness' law, governed by Lord Li Xijun, is unfathomable, possessing a vast scope encompassing termination, return to nothingness, and the background of all things. Its power can silence galaxies, and its realm can contain the birth and death of all laws."

A member of parliament responsible for culture and symbolism concluded, "His sanctification visions have enveloped the world; darkness is not destruction, but a deeper peace and foundation; his preaching has benefited civilization, like a guiding star illuminating the path for all beings in the endless night."

"Therefore, the title must simultaneously reflect the supreme characteristics of its laws and its foundational contribution to civilization, and must be consistent with the format of other saints' titles."

A scholar from an institution researching ancient civilization symbols pondered: "The 'darkness' in 'primordial darkness' is not ordinary darkness, but the darkness of the primordial universe, the ultimate destination of all things, and the backdrop for all manifestation. In the supreme classics of many ancient civilizations, this imagery is often associated with words like 'mysterious,' 'dark,' 'abyss,' and 'silent,' describing its unfathomable, all-encompassing, and tranquil essence."

"Taking only the word 'dark' is a bit too straightforward and might not fully reflect its status." Another member of parliament shook his head.

"Perhaps we can extract the essence of 'origin,' 'background,' and 'ultimate' from the original darkness?" someone suggested.

"If we consider its origins and background, and its profound all-encompassing nature, how does the character '渊' (yuān) fare?"

The venerable elder from the family of historians spoke again slowly, his voice carrying a penetrating insight: "The abyss is endless, swallowing all streams. It may seem to be the darkest place, but in reality, it is the destination of rivers, lakes, and seas, and it also breeds infinite possibilities."

The character "渊" (Yuān) metaphorically signifies that its laws are as deep and unfathomable as an abyss, encompassing both end and silence; it also subtly reflects its profound foundation as a new basis for civilization. Furthermore, the two characters "渊圣" (Yuān Shèng), simple yet dignified, stand alongside sacred titles such as Wind, Flame, and Water, holding their own and highlighting their profound and enduring nature.

"Yuan Sheng—" the speaker repeated in a low voice, his gaze sweeping across the entire room.

The military representative nodded slightly: "The character 'Yuan' (渊) signifies depth and capacity, immovable as a mountain, unfathomable, perfectly matching Lord Li Xijun's qualities of withstanding a Saint's attack head-on and possessing unparalleled foundation, and also aligning with the feeling one gets from his principles. Not frivolous, not sinister, but steady and powerful."

The female councilor from the research system pondered, "From a civilizational perspective, 'Yuan' can also symbolize the depth of knowledge and the accumulation of civilization. Lord Li Xijun's passing down of two major systems has precisely opened up unprecedented 'depth' and 'foundation' for human martial arts civilization; this character carries a very auspicious meaning."

"I second that title. 'Sage of the Abyss' is dignified and profound, reflecting both the essence of power and the stature of achievement."

"Seconded. It aligns with the style of other saintly titles, while also appearing more unique and dignified."

"I second that —"

More and more lawmakers are expressing their agreement.

The two characters "Yuansheng" (渊圣) succinctly convey the profoundness, inclusiveness, conclusion, and background of the "Original Darkness" law, while also implying its deep foundation as a new base and its steadfast and indestructible root, making it elegant and dignified.

Seeing that a consensus was gradually forming, the Speaker no longer hesitated and announced in a deep voice: "Based on the discussion and voting, the Supreme Council of the Human Race proposes that the title of the eighth Martial Saint be—Abyss Saint. This title will be submitted to Lord Li Xijun for approval according to procedure and will be announced to the Star Sea at the formal ceremony."

"Yuan Sheng, Li Xijun."

With the title established, a serene and vast imagery seemed to permeate the air.

It lacks the freedom of "wind," the intensity of "fire," the coolness of "water," the ferocity of "thunder," the grandeur of "light," the vitality of "wood," and the solidity of "scholar," yet it possesses a unique quality that envelops all things in stillness.

It embodies an infinitely profound and ultimate demeanor.

Although the news has not been officially announced, it has already been circulating quietly at the highest levels.

Inside the new residence of Qingquan Chunhui Palace, Li Xijun may have just finished another greeting from an old friend.

He stood by the window, his fingertips unconsciously tracing a faint line in the air, a line that seemed to absorb light.

"Yuan Sheng—" he murmured to himself, a faint, knowing smile playing on his lips.

This title sounds quite good.
