The space is still square, with luminous pearls shining all around, illuminating the ground.
Jiang Li waited patiently for the tester to arrive.
Not long after, a deep and empty voice sounded slightly: "What is Tao?"
"road?"
Jiang Li was confused for a moment.
In this fourth level, is it actually a direct question?
He had just entered the world of spiritual practice not long ago, and he didn't understand this word very well at all.
"Tao can be explained, but it is not Tao. It can be named, but it is not named. Nothing is called the beginning of heaven and earth. Being is called the mother of all things. Therefore, there is always nothing, so as to observe its wonders; always there, so as to observe its beauty; these two
They come from the same origin but have different names. They are both called mysteries, and mysteries are mysteries again. They are the door to all mysteries."
Jiang Li said that this was not his own understanding of "Tao", but before he was eighteen years old, he read a "Tao Te Ching" in which "Tao" was explained.
"This is the profound Tao, not the Tao you understand. In your understanding, what exactly is the Tao?"
The deep and empty voice continued to sound, obviously not agreeing with Jiang Li's perfunctory answer.
Jiang Li sat down cross-legged and thought carefully.
"The Tao can be extended to the road."
"Roads are for walking on."
"Actually, there are no roads on the ground. When there are more people walking, there are roads on the ground."
"Then the road is made by people, and the Tao is also made by people."
"Therefore, the Tao is acquired, and it is the road that countless predecessors have walked."
"Such as the way of attributes, the way of weapons, the way of change, the way of creation, the way of destruction... they are all acquired ways."
"However, some roads exist naturally."
"So, Tao also has an innate way."
Jiang Li said.
"Your understanding is very down-to-earth and makes sense. However, in addition to these purely theoretical understandings, can you be more specific?"
The voice is still searching.
Jiang Li buried his head in thought.
"My way is the way of thunder and the way of swords."
"The thunderer controls the punishment of heaven and earth. He is selfless and decisive in killing. He punishes the treacherous and evil, and punishes the unfaithful and unfilial. Therefore, while possessing destructive power, the thunder road also represents justice."
"Destruction and power are so terrifying that when thunder roars, people's hearts often tremble."
"The more mistakes someone makes, the more afraid they will be of the mighty thunder."
"Don't do bad things, and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. As the saying goes, reincarnation is the way of heaven, and good and evil will be rewarded in the end. It's not that you won't be rewarded, it's just that the time has not come yet."
"So, Lei Dao is a powerful force and the ultimate justice!"
"As for the sword, the blade should be facing outward and the back of the blade should be facing inward."
"The sharp edge is directed to kill the enemy."
"Kill the enemy to protect your relatives, your friends, the world, the principles in your heart, and the eternal justice!"
"The back of the knife is turned inward, which means you are full of trust in the person behind you."
"So, adhering to justice and protection is the way in my heart."
Jiang Li explained it this way.
"It's very well said and wonderful, but your words are not without flaws."
"If the existence of Thunder Road is for justice and to punish the evildoers, why can the Thunder Road be controlled by bad people? And use it to kill kind-hearted people?"
"And what you said about the way of the sword, the blade points outward and the back of the knife points inward, for protection and justice."
"But why would someone use the sword to kill innocent people indiscriminately? And why would a swordsman aim his blade at the back of his friend?"
The deep and empty voice sounded again.
"No, you are wrong."
"When I talk about the way of thunder and the way of swords, I'm talking about myself."
"Nature is inherently good and nature is inherently evil. Some people say that they are born with it, while others say that it is acquired."
"How should we look at it specifically? The benevolent sees benevolence and the wise see wisdom. It is a matter of public opinion being reasonable and mother-in-law saying mother-in-law is reasonable."
"In my case, I think it's both, and the influence of day after tomorrow plays a more important role."
"Perhaps some people are born with a little bit of evil in their bones, but the environment they acquire can influence them to become good."
"Therefore, Tao is invisible, but when applied to people, it becomes tangible."
"There is a difference between good and evil in tangible things."
Jiang Liru replied.
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
A deep and spacious voice, full of appreciation.
"Perhaps your understanding of Tao is not completely correct, but you have your own opinions, opinions, and principles. You have passed this fourth level, and I hope you can stick to your own Tao."
"In this fourth level, I will give you a flower of enlightenment."
"I wish you perfect success and the three flowers. While you gain astonishing understanding, you may also have profound blessings. From now on, you can overcome your bad luck to a certain extent. Go ahead."
A deep and empty voice slowly sounded.
Then, a portal opened, and Jiang Li cupped his hands to salute, but he thanked the mysterious tester repeatedly who didn't even show up.
Soon, Jiang Li stepped through the door, and then a flower petal was formed into a piece on all sides. The stamen in the middle was pink and yellow, and a faint fragrance wafted out.
Jiang Li just took a brief sniff and felt his consciousness clear, and his soul was shaken.
"What a wonderful medicine!"
Jiang Li was filled with admiration, and then once again raised his hand toward the fourth floor behind him.
This "enlightenment flower" is of great use to him.
He himself is the body of an ancient emperor. According to the demon king who lives in his body, if he appears in an era when he should not appear, he will inevitably suffer bad luck and be abandoned by heaven.
And this "enlightenment flower" can not only enhance people's understanding, but also strengthen people's top three flowers, making people have deep blessings.
Soon, Jiang Li sat down cross-legged.
He began to seriously refine the "Enlightenment Flower" in his hand.
Driven by the energy of the thunder attribute, the "Enlightenment Flower" gradually shattered into powder, and finally turned into an extremely pure power, and then under Jiang Li's guidance, it was successfully refined into his body.
Feeling a slight warmth in his body, Jiang Li seemed to see the trajectory of his destiny in a blur, as if it was being straightened out from a particularly curved path with highs and lows.
"What a terrifying Enlightenment Flower! Who is the owner of this mysterious voice?"
After a long time, Jiang Li finally retreated from the refining state.
The feeling of seeing one's own fate gradually being straightened out in a blur is really shocking.
This is going against nature and rewriting a person's destiny.
In the dark, it seemed as if there were a pair of invisible big hands pushing Jiang Li's wheel of fate to rotate.
“Is this a blessing or a curse?”
Jiang Li asked back, but soon he felt relieved again.
Maybe now he is indeed a chess piece of a certain big shot, but as long as he is given the opportunity and strength to grow, sooner or later he will transform from a chess piece to one of many chess players.
He will also work hard to explore all the unknowns in this world.
Then, he began to prepare to face the fifth level seriously!
With the foreshadowing of the previous four levels, Jiang Li already understood that although the four levels were indeed difficult to pass, the rewards were also particularly rich.
So in addition to being uneasy, he had more expectations.
