Xiaobao returned from discussing Taoism and brought back a jar of dragon blood.
After Chen Xi inquired, he finally understood that Xiaobao's discussion was different from Dong Bowen's and Lao Bai's. It was about fighting.
Your opponent is yourself!
When it arrived on the bronze coffin, its mind fell into a mysterious space. There was an opponent exactly like Xiaobao in that space, and that was its "self".
For Chen Xi and the others, time has only passed by a stick of incense, but for Xiaobao, who is fighting the "self phase", it seems as long as endless years have passed.
Because this battle is too fierce, Xiaobao wants to defeat his "self" as if he wants to defeat another self.
Its every move and even every thought will be reflected on the "opponent" during the battle, making it harder for him to defeat his opponent the more he wants to do so.
It was not until later that he finally realized the wonderful meaning of "selflessness" in the battle, and finally defeated his "opponent", that is, he defeated his own "self".
After this battle, Chen Xi clearly felt that Xiaobao's state of mind had been sharpened and sublimated, which would definitely be of great benefit to his future practice.
Not long after Xiaobao came back, Ye Yan also returned one after another, and also brought back a dragon source, which can be regarded as a success in discussing the Tao.
According to what Ye Yan said, she never uttered a word from beginning to end, she just sat there cross-legged, as if she had a dream. When she woke up from the dream, the discussion was over.
As for what she had dreamed about, even she herself could no longer remember it, and it seemed extremely strange and mysterious.
But there is no doubt that all of this is the method of the "Ancestral Dragon Taoist". Since he handed over the dragon source to Ye Yan, it proved that Ye Yan had gained his approval.
At this point, Dong Bowen got a wisp of dragon soul, Lao Bai got a dragon heart, Xiaobao got a jar of dragon blood, and Ye Yan got a dragon source.
This great opportunity seems to have been completely carved up and has nothing to do with Chen Xi anymore.
But Chen Xi didn't think so, because in his eyes, the opportunities he needed were different from these.
…
…
Without hesitation, Chen Xi was the last one to reach the bronze coffin.
As soon as he arrived, he felt the difference of this bronze coffin. Standing on it, it was like standing in chaos. Looking around, there was a hazy charm and wisps of light everywhere, which seemed extremely mysterious.
In fact, Chen Xi had a strange feeling of returning to the origin of the great road.
The figure transformed by the will of the Ancestral Dragon Dao Master sat there cross-legged, and at this moment, Chen Xi finally saw the other person's face clearly.
His face is pale, his beard and hair are gray in color, and his eyes are so deep that they are like a portal to the depths of the abyss, seemingly capable of swallowing up a person's soul!
Judging from the appearance alone, one cannot tell that this is an innate ancestral dragon born in chaos. Instead, it looks like a wise old man who has lived for countless years. After experiencing the world, all mysteries seem to be unable to escape his discernment.
.
When Chen Xi was sizing up "Taoist Ancestral Dragon", the latter was also sizing him up, with a pair of extremely deep eyes full of overflowing wisdom.
After a long time, "Taoist Zulong" finally said: "His fate is so unpredictable. He is such an interesting little guy."
After a pause, he suddenly sighed and said: "You go, you can only walk your own path, and all the opportunities I have left have been given away, and there is nothing left to teach you."
Hearing this, Chen Xi looked calm and didn't seem to be surprised. Instead, he sat down cross-legged, looked at "Taoist Zulong" and said: "Senior has probably seen my origin. To be honest, I am here this time.
I don’t expect to get any opportunities.”
"oh."
"Taoist Zulong" said with a meaningful arc on his lips, "Then what do you want to get from me?"
"I just want to know how my senior died."
Chen Xi said calmly, "Everyone is looking for success, but I know that the failure experience of a Taoist master may be more worthy of attention."
As soon as these words came out, the "Ancestral Dragon Taoist Master" immediately calmed down, and his eyes were filled with brilliance, shining with an incomparable and incomparable luster.
He stared at Chen Xi quietly for a long time, then suddenly burst into laughter. There was a touch of sadness in his voice, and there was also a touch of indescribable emotions, which seemed to be sighing and sad, which seemed extremely complicated.
"I didn't expect that you, a little guy in the late stage of the Ancestral God, would actually start to plan the path of being a Taoist master. If it were anyone else, I would have scoffed at you and scolded you for being too ambitious, but you... are obviously different."
After a while, "Taoist Zulong" slowly spoke, "Because you are an enlightened person in Hetu, it is reasonable to consider this step."
Chen Xi smiled and looked at the other party quietly without denying it.
"I still remember that the fifth enlightened person in Hetu was Gu Changsheng, the Lord of Nine Nethers, the seventh enlightened person was Xuan, the Lord of Manggu, and the eighth enlightened person was Fuxi, the Lord of Shenyan Mountain.
You...are probably the ninth enlightened person in Hetu, right?"
"Taoist Ancestral Dragon" said with great interest that although he is just a wisp of willpower, he seems to possess supreme wisdom, and his speech and behavior seem to be the same as a living person.
This finally made Chen Xi feel a little moved, because it was also the first time he knew that the fifth Hetu Enlightenment before Xuan was actually the "Lord of the Nine Nethers" Gu Changsheng!
He had never heard of this name.
"good."
After a while, Chen Xi nodded.
"No wonder, if someone like you were the first to discuss Taoism, I might not hesitate to give you all the opportunities. Unfortunately, fate has its way."
"Taoist Ancestral Dragon" shook his head with some regret, "But this is normal. With the inheritance of Hetu, you can't despise the relics left by me. What's more, I am a loser under the law of heaven after all.
, the things belonging to a failed person cannot be said to be more valuable to you."
This wording actually made Chen Xi a little stunned. After a while, he smiled bitterly and said: "Senior is a bit arrogant. The reason why he is the last one to come is just because what I want is different from what they want. There is absolutely no neglect."
Contempt."
"Taoist Zulong" laughed loudly and said: "What a difference! There are many people in this world who seek success, but you are the only one who wants defeat. Based on this alone, I will be like you
As you wish!”
Speaking of this, he suddenly changed the topic, looked at Chen Xi with a solemn expression, and said: "Little guy, before I do this, I want to ask you, what do you think of the way of heaven since you have been practicing?"
Chen Xi was startled, was he asking about his knowledge of the way of heaven?
For a moment, Chen Xi fell into silence, and after a long time he said: "I'm sorry, I can't express myself."
"Taoist Zulong" seemed a little disappointed.
However, just when he was about to speak, he heard Chen Xi say: "But in my opinion, if one day, the way of heaven blocks my path, then it will be my enemy. As long as I don't die, I will eventually defeat it and achieve my goal."
The path!”
If these words were heard by other cultivators, they would be scolded and punished! It is simply treason!
That is the way of heaven, the most supreme and unpredictable!
Who in this world dares to say that they regard the way of heaven as the enemy and want to defeat it?
Putting one's own way above the way of heaven is even more arrogant. For any cultivator, if he dares to talk such nonsense, he will even be punished by heaven!
At this time, when he heard Chen Xi's words, the "Taoist Master Ancestral Dragon" also became silent for the rare occasion, his expression changed, and he could no longer remain calm.
After a long while, he suddenly threw his head up to the sky and laughed, with a hint of madness in his voice.
"I didn't expect, I didn't expect that I have been cultivating for endless years and have reached the realm of Tao Master early. But until I died, I never figured it out. Now, you, a little guy, have figured it out long ago. No wonder
I will be robbed and unable to escape, no wonder..."
When Chen Xi saw this, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes and vaguely guessed something.
What he said before was his true inner thoughts, and he did not hide anything. However, he would never say it in ordinary circumstances. If so, he would be regarded as a crazy lunatic.
But it is obvious that it is precisely because of these words that it seems to have resonated with the "Taoist Zulong".
"If I can understand this now, I can finally be liberated and have no regrets..."
"Taoist Ancestral Dragon" stood up suddenly, his eyes were burning, his long gray hair was flying, and his whole body exuded a feeling of relief and detachment.
"Little guy, with your current level of cultivation, you will definitely not be able to spy on the real reason for my death, but that doesn't matter. As long as you stick to your heart, one day, you may really be able to do what I can't.
That step reached.”
As he spoke, "Taoist Zulong" waved his sleeves and made a loud bang, and the bronze coffin under his feet suddenly let out a shocking roar.
The next moment, the entire bronze coffin that stretched across the starry sky suddenly glowed with incomparable blazing light. In just a short moment, it shrank countless times, and finally turned into something like a bronze jade slip, and fell into the "
In the hands of "Taoist Zulong".
"What you want is hidden inside. When you reach the realm of Tao Master, you can open it and get what you want."
"Taoist Ancestral Dragon" smiled slightly and handed the bronze coffin, which looked like a jade slip, to Chen Xi through the air.
"Thank you, senior, for the gift."
Chen Xi quickly took it and bowed with his hands.
"Go ahead. On my deathbed, it will make me smile to see such an interesting little guy like you."
"Taoist Zulong" looked up to the sky and smiled endlessly.
Along with the sound, his entire figure turned into wisps of light rain, slowly drifted away, and soon disappeared.
"Senior, take care."
Chen Xi handed over his hand again. He knew that from now on, there would be no trace of the "Taoist Ancestral Dragon" in this world...
The movement here also alarmed Lao Bai, Xiaobao, Ye Yan and others. They all looked at each other with shock on their faces. They didn't know why such a change happened.
