"Can. "
With a slight flick of his sleeves, Qin Shou drew Xiao Xuan's consciousness into his spiritual world.
Here, the phenomena of the birth and death of the universe unfold, with great paths extending towards the end of the universe, like strings of dazzling galaxies, radiating all sorts of strange colors. These great paths are both real and illusory, and their number conforms to the saying of three thousand great paths.
At the end of the Great Road, above the Milky Way, sat a being, shrouded in a hazy, chaotic aura. Upon closer inspection, it looked exactly like the Qin Beast.
"Gurgle!"
Xiao Xuan looked at this scene with amazement.
"To wield the power of the Three Thousand Great Daos!"
"How is this possible??"
Xiao Xuan frowned, somewhat incredulous.
How could a being who has just entered the path of immortality possibly wield the power of the three thousand Great Daos of the universe...?
His master seemed to be becoming increasingly mysterious...
At this moment, Xiao Xuan had every reason to suspect that the master he had always seen was an illusion, one of the thousands of clones created by the master's true body. For some unknown reason, the clone came to this world, encountered the unparalleled talent of himself, and was moved to take him as a disciple...
"Master, your teacher told me that you might be the reincarnation of a Celestial Emperor?"
Xiao Xuan stared at Qin Beast with a pleading look in his eyes.
He was somewhat devastated.
"We're both cultivating immortality, so how come you're so much better, Master!"
"Really?" Qin Shou tossed his hair and waved his hand, saying, "Oh—I just do some casual repairs in my spare time."
"Cultivating immortality is just a side job for me, and in the end, it's nothing more than the Great Dao. It's not like I can just comprehend a few of its principles whenever I want."
Xiao Xuan:…………
"Alright, you can stay here and properly experience the Great Dao that I, your master, have attained."
"How many people in this world can witness the path of immortals? I wonder what good deeds you did in your past life to be able to meet such an excellent master in this life."
Sigh... I really envy you.
Qin Shou shook his head and withdrew from his sea of consciousness, leaving Xiao Xuan alone to sit cross-legged in that 'fairyland' to observe the traces of Qin Shou's Great Dao evolution.
Generally speaking, cultivators would never openly display their Dao to others for observation; this is an extremely taboo thing, and sometimes, even a master and disciple would not do so.
Observing a person's path is like observing their spiritual journey; one can easily find their vulnerabilities within it.
However, Qin Shou didn't care at all. He had confidence in himself and in Xiao Xuan. The kind of plot where a traitorous disciple kills his master would not happen in Qin Shou's case.
At this moment, Song Ningsheng was "observing the Dao" on the mountaintop. When Qin Shou saw this, he threw a small hoe over and directed Song Ningsheng to dig up two jars of peach blossom wine under the thousand-year-old peach tree so they could drink together.
Song Ningsheng: ... "Okay!"
The sun rises and sets, the stars shift and the constellations move.
One encounter with the Dao, ten years have passed.
On this day, Xiao Xuan had just woken up in the temple when he saw two chubby little boys, one black and one white, lying in front of him, staring at him with their innocent big eyes.
"Little Fatty? Black Rabbit?" Xiao Xuan smiled broadly. "What are you two doing?"
"Siwu, you're finally awake!" Little Fatty jumped up happily and immediately whispered in Xiao Xuan's ear, "Master, those bad people won't let Black Rabbit and me go down the mountain to play with Sister and Yicheng. Siwu, can you lead us and sneak away?"
"Squeak—sneaking away!"
"Oh! I wouldn't dare!"
Xiao Xuan waved his hand repeatedly.
The chubby boy immediately put his hands on his hips and said smugly:
"What are you afraid of! Siwu, you have so many men..."
"Hey, hey, hey... Little Fatty, you can't say that!"
Xiao Xuan immediately stepped forward and covered the mouths of Little Fatty and Black Rabbit.
"Mmm..."
The chubby boy flailed his little fists, but finding he couldn't break free, he sighed in a childish voice, "Sigh... Master, that great demon is just too powerful! Why can't I, the Great King, defeat him no matter how much I cultivate?"
"Sigh..." Xiao Xuan sighed as he watched this scene. "Little Fatty, it's fortunate you met my master. Otherwise, with your thousand-year-old rebellious nature, you would have been boiled countless times by now."
"Squeak—"
"Black Rabbit, stop howling. You should be glad you're dark-skinned, and that my master is a germaphobe, otherwise you wouldn't have had the chance to meet Little Fatty."
"Ahem, let me hear you, who's trying to sneak down the mountain...?"
Qin Shou, who had just returned from gathering herbs in the back mountain, coughed twice and walked closer.
"………"
Black Rabbit and Little Fatty exchanged a glance.
Immediately, they all pointed their little fingers at Xiao Xuan and shouted loudly:
"It's Siwu! He wanted to secretly take us down the mountain to play, but Black Rabbit and I refused!"
"Yes, yeah, Little Fatty and I refused!"
? ? ? ?
Xiao Xuan: ...Good heavens, I've been taught a lesson by these two little idiots today?!
"Master, I still think the grapes from the mountain taste better."
"Yeah, I also think moving mountains is fun, going down mountains isn't fun at all."
"Black Rabbit, let's go eat some grapes."
"Squeak, squeak, moving mountains! Moving mountains!"
The two chubby little boys, their bellies bulging, strode away.
"Hehe, Little Fatty and Black Rabbit are so lucky."
Xiao Xuan lay back under the peach tree, grinning.
"Childhood dreams are the most carefree..."
"How's your observation going?"
Qin Shou sat down at the tea table, brushed away the flower petals from the corner of the table, and started brewing tea.
"Very good, so the road can be so vast, hehe..."
Xiao Xuan laughed loudly, "I originally thought that I had mastered all thirty-three laws and perfected them all. When I entered the path of immortality, I would be unparalleled throughout the ages. Now it seems that I was too narrow-minded."
So, to be honest...
Xiao Xuan tilted his head and looked at Qin Shou, "Master, are you really not some kind of peerless powerhouse?"
"Your disciple feels as if you are a deity who roams the mortal realm, never revealing your true form to me; you are truly like a dream."
Xiao Xuan curled his lip and said, "Anyway, I don't believe it. A person of this age who cultivates can comprehend the three thousand Great Daos simultaneously. That's too fantastical, unless that person's life is cheated, and they're like the chosen protagonist of the entire universe."
Even the universe's favorite child wouldn't be this biased!
"Alas... in the end, I am but a legend." Qin Shou sighed with a look of vicissitude, "Invincibility, how, how lonely it is!"
Xiao Xuan: "Master, let's have some tea instead."
Petals fluttered down from the mountainside, each one crystal clear, carrying the aroma of tea and exuding a sense of tranquility.
Several days later, Xiao Xuan left.
They came in a hurry, and they left in a hurry.
What remains unchanged is this mountain peak through the four seasons.
Two years later.
A cloud of dust rose at the foot of the mountain.
A chubby little girl returned riding the mountain's guardian beast.
"Yi Cheng! Why are you back? Wasn't it fun down the mountain?"
Qin Shou patted Yi Cheng's little belly and laughed, "Come on, let your master see if you've lost weight down the mountain?"
"Master—"
Yi Cheng rolled off the bear, her little belly sticking out, and came to Qin Shou's side. She rubbed her little eyes sleepily and said:
"Master, the goose is sleepy. The goose wants to come back and sleep."
