Chapter 487 Asking Senior Daozu for Guidance
Tai Miao Dream Dao and Supreme Dao, one virtual and one real, can also be seen as one soft and one hard. They seem independent of each other, but in fact they should be one.
"The Dream Way and the Supreme Way both come from Taicang. So, Taicang has a new idea about martial arts."
Li Xuan also had to admit that Taicang was indeed powerful.
However, since Tai Miao was caught in the conflict between the Dream Way and the Supreme Way, it was obvious that Taicang only had a new idea but had not perfected it. It was also possible that he died before he could perfect it due to other reasons.
Li Xuan looked at Xin Mengrou and said with a smile: "Why contradict yourself? Whether it is fantasy or supreme, it is ultimately a way of practicing martial arts.
“The Dream Path and the Supreme Path can be independent and can naturally be combined into one.
"Illusions are false, the Supreme is real; false is soft, real is hard; soft is yin, hard is yang, this is the endless cycle of yin and yang..."
Li Xuan gave the concept of Yin and Yang to the Way of Dream and the Way of Supreme. After giving some instructions, he looked at everyone present and said, "The Way of Yin and Yang is in accordance with all things in the world. Yin alone cannot grow, and Yang alone cannot be born. The world has its own Yin and Yang, so it is endless. However, in this world, Yin and Yang are out of order, and reincarnation has no way..."
Old Man Xiao and others looked solemn and listened respectfully. This was the Taoist elder who was talking about the great way of Yin and Yang.
If you can understand a little bit, it will be a great opportunity! After Li Xuan explained the Yin and Yang, he smiled and said: "The Yin and Yang may be too profound for you. If you can understand the concept of Yin and Yang, you will gain something in the end."
Finally, he looked at Xin Mengrou and said, "If you want to achieve unity between fantasy and the Supreme, the distance between them is too far in terms of yin and yang, and you can't realize it in a short time.
"Tell that little girl that the heart is supreme and the mind is a dream; there is a supreme mind and a dreamy heart..."
Xin Mengrou murmured to herself, "The heart is supreme, and the mind is dreamy? There is both a supreme mind and a dreamy heart..."
In a trance, I seemed to have some understanding, but I didn't quite understand why.
"Thank you for your guidance, senior!"
Xin Mengrou bowed respectfully.
Old man Xiao sighed in his heart, he is worthy of being the ancestor of Taoism, he explained the mystery of the Tao in just a few words, and even directly pointed out the way out of the contradiction for Tai Miao.
"Taimiao, if you can combine Dream and Supreme into one, your strength will be further improved."
Old man Xiao sighed.
Next, it was his turn. What doubts should he ask? Old Man Xiao pondered. The narration of the Yin-Yang theory just now made him suddenly clear up some of his doubts about the world.
However, he still didn't find the way forward.
Taking a deep breath, Old Man Xiao was about to respectfully ask for advice from Senior Daozu when he saw Ao Yuxue, looking timid, walking out from behind Xu Yan.
"Senior, can I ask you a question?"
Ao Yuxue asked timidly.
Li Xuan smiled happily. Ao Yuxue turned into a human form. She was pretty and lovely, and quite likable.
"What do you want to ask?"
Li Xuan asked with a smile.
This girl, is she asking how to not be subdued? Or, how to escape the control of the Dragon Seal?
Ao Yuxue was a little nervous, pinching the corner of her clothes with her small hands, glancing at Xu Yan, and said timidly: "He used a martial art called Dragon Subduing Palm to defeat the strong with the weak, and defeated me. I want to ask, can I also practice Dragon Subduing Palm?"
Li Xuan was stunned. He never expected that Ao Yuxue would ask such a question.
Xu Yan and the others were stunned.
The Dragon Subduing Palm is one of Xu Yan's unique skills.
This is his strongest martial art besides swordsmanship. Although it is based on the Dragon Subduing Palm, the power of the Dragon Subduing Palm is incomparably strong.
And Ao Yuxue, a real dragon, actually asked if he could practice the Dragon Subduing Palm?
This is for a real dragon to descend. You are a real dragon, and you actually want to practice cultivation?
Ao Yuxue felt the surprised and astonished gazes of the crowd and became more and more nervous. Her fair face flushed slightly and she pinched the corner of her clothes with her little hands, looking timid and weak.
She pondered for a long time before finally figuring out what she wanted to ask.
"The Dragon Subduing Palm is the palm that subdues our True Dragons. If I practice the Dragon Subduing Palm, with my identity as a True Dragon, and use it, wouldn't I be invincible in the True Dragon Clan?"
The more Ao Yuxue thought about it, the more excited she became. She immediately confirmed the question and asked it.
Li Xuan had a strange look on his face. What was going on with this girl's train of thought?
Looking at Xu Yan, then at Ao Yuxue, he couldn't help but smile and asked, "Why do you have such an idea?"
Ao Yuxue looked at Xu Yan again, and did not find any anger on his face. She felt a little relieved and said timidly, "I think that the Dragon Subduing Palm can subdue dragons. If a real dragon like me can do it, wouldn't I be invincible in the real dragon clan? I can suppress all the real dragons that don't obey me?"
Ao Yuxue's face turned slightly red. She pinched the corner of her clothes and said expectantly, "Senior, I am a real dragon. Can I also practice the Dragon Subduing Palm?"
Li Xuan had never thought about this question.
At the beginning, the Dragon Subduing Palm was all made up, no one thought about it so much.
He couldn't help but ponder. Can a real dragon practice the Dragon Subduing Palm? After a moment's hesitation, he had the answer in his mind.
After all, he had already obtained the way to subdue the dragon, and the way to subdue the dragon was like a giant dragon, circling in his soul.
So, Li Xuan smiled and said, "The Dragon Subduing Palm is a palm that subdues dragons. It subdues dragons with dragons. Can a real dragon practice it? Theoretically, it is possible, especially since your real dragon can transform into a human form, so it is naturally possible to practice it.
“But being able to practice doesn’t mean you can succeed, comprehend, and display it.
"It all comes down to talent and understanding."
Ao Yuxue's eyes revealed joy, and she nodded and said, "Thank you, senior. I understand."
Li Xuan originally thought that this girl would take the opportunity to ask him for advice on how to practice the Dragon Subduing Palm, but she didn't. Instead, she timidly retreated behind Xu Yan.
"interesting!"
Li Xuan was happy in his heart. After enduring a vicious beating, this girl had obviously become a lot smarter.
Judging from her expression, she probably wanted to ask Xu Yan for advice on how to practice the Dragon Subduing Palm. As for whether Xu Yan would teach her or not, Li Xuan would not interfere.
My disciple has become strong and is no longer a novice in martial arts. It is time for him to become independent, so as a master I will not interfere.
Everyone looked at Ao Yuxue strangely. The questions she asked were beyond everyone's expectations.
Old Man Xiao looked strange. Could it be that this girl wanted to be the leader of the True Dragon Clan? Could it be that she wanted to force her grandfather Ao Lie to abdicate? This was the family affair of the True Dragon Clan, so Old Man Xiao naturally didn't bother to worry about it.
He excitedly bowed respectfully and said, "Senior Daozu, I have a doubt about martial arts, and I hope you can give me some guidance!"
Li Xuan nodded and said, "You can say whatever you want!"
Li Xuan already had some guesses in his mind as to what question Old Man Xiao wanted to ask.
Old Man Xiao is the master of a realm and is extremely powerful, but he is not the master of a small world after all, and his strength has reached its limit.
The master of the small world was created by the purple light.
Theoretically, Old Man Xiao has reached his limit in his cultivation to this point. Unless he obtains the purple light fortune like Taicang and others, he can go one step further and become the master of heaven and earth.
But it was obvious that there seemed to be only one purple light, and it only appeared once.
In their long lives, everyone in Taicang had only experienced this once, and had only seen this one ray of purple light.
“Senior, I have been practicing for so long and I can’t see the way forward. It’s not just me, other realm masters are the same. It seems impossible to break through the shackles and reach the realm of Master Taicang.
"The seven masters of Taicang were once in a land of chaos and ignorance. They received purple light and opened up the world, becoming the masters of the world.
"If I want to go further, is it only possible if I find the mysterious purple light?"
Old Man Xiao said respectfully.
The others listened silently. This was the secret of heaven and earth, and it involved the secret of the existence of this world.
Xu Yan listened to old man Xiao's question, but he seemed to be thinking about something. He began to understand the fundamental difference between the martial arts taught by his master and the martial arts of Taicang.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Old Man Xiao has reached the current state of cultivation, and it is difficult to make further progress. To be more precise, there is no way forward! "Master has repeatedly emphasized that the martial arts are endless. Since there is no end, how can there be no way forward? Therefore, Taicang martial arts is flawed. It is not unreasonable for me to call it a pseudo martial arts.
“According to what old man Xiao said, the world was created by the purple light, but he didn’t have the purple light, so his cultivation stagnated and he had no way forward.
"But the martial arts that my master taught me do not have these limitations. The road ahead is always there. It's all about talent and hard work. I just need to keep moving forward."
Xu Yan thought of the realm of heaven and earth. Using his own body as heaven and earth, isn't that the same as creating heaven and earth?
Thinking of this, Xu Yan knew that when he broke through the Heaven and Earth Realm, he would completely leave Taicang martial arts behind. This is why a small breakthrough in the Heaven and Earth Realm can lead to such a huge improvement in strength.
The realm of heaven and earth is fully achieved, which is comparable to the supreme realm of Taicang martial arts.
Starting from the Heaven and Earth Realm, the two are no longer comparable. The road to Taicang's martial arts is almost here, but the Heaven and Earth Realm is where one really begins to embark on the road of martial arts.
After all, only when one reaches the Dao Realm can one be qualified to establish the Dao and pass on the Dao, and only then can one truly understand the Dao of Martial Arts! When Xu Yan thought of this, he was secretly excited. He was not far from the Heaven and Earth Realm, and he would surely be able to break through within three to five years. Once he broke through the Heaven and Earth Realm, he would truly stand firm on the road of Martial Arts.
The aura of the Taoist master on Li Xuan's body was looming, as if the Tao was coming from him. His voice was plain, but it sounded like the voice of the Tao.
Li Xuan had expected this question from Old Man Xiao.
“The path to Taicang was explored from the chaos, and then blessed by the purple light, thus opening up the heaven and earth. You latecomers all take Taicang as your peak, so how can you surpass Taicang?
"The martial arts path has no end, and the road ahead is never broken.
"You feel that your way forward is blocked, but it is only because you lack talent and understanding that you are confused.
"Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that if Taicang Martial Arts doesn't continue, you will naturally have no way forward."
Old Man Xiao looked gloomy, he understood what Senior Daozu meant, Taicang martial arts did not continue to grow stronger because Taicang was dead, so people like them naturally could not break through the shackles.
Taicang is the pinnacle of this martial art. If latecomers want to surpass the pinnacle, they must have talent and intelligence that surpass Taicang.
But who can do it?
Li Xuan continued, "Purple light is not the only way to ascend to the Lord of Heaven and Earth. Although the Lord of Heaven and Earth is quite powerful, he is also bound by the heaven and earth.
"If you regard yourself as heaven and earth, your heart as heaven and earth, and your self as heaven and earth, you can transcend the world and become yourself, without any constraints..."
Li Xuan gave a mysterious and profound account, and then continued: "Of course, for you, it is almost impossible to take this path. Your foundation is already set, and you are too deeply influenced by Taicang.
"However, it does not mean that we cannot make further breakthroughs, and there is still a way forward!"
When Old Man Xiao heard this, he was immediately excited and said devoutly and respectfully: "Please, Senior Daozu, give me some pointers!"
Li Xuan turned the jade ruyi in his hand and looked up at the sky. "Whether it is heaven and earth or a land of chaos and chaos, everything in the world is governed by the great way, and heaven and earth are complete only when they have the way of heaven. A world without the way of heaven and earth is ultimately a rootless duckweed, ultimately weak and helpless, and ultimately like a bubble.
"Your future lies in understanding the way of heaven and earth, and in practicing the way of heaven!"
Old Man Xiao was shocked, but confused. To comprehend the Way of Heaven and Earth, to cultivate the Way of Heaven? "Senior, we are cultivating the Way of Taicang Martial Arts, and the Taicang Heaven and Earth was created by Master Taicang. At our level, we have already comprehended the Way of Heaven and Earth. How can we comprehend the Way of Heaven and Earth?"
Li Xuan smiled slightly and said, "The way of heaven and earth that I am talking about is not the way of heaven and earth that you have realized. The way of heaven and earth that you have realized is illusory, like a bubble.
"Look at this tree, it was born from heaven and earth, what is its way? Since you have already comprehended the way of heaven and earth, and this tree was born from heaven and earth, you should be able to control this tree with the comprehending of heaven and earth.
"Then can you make this tree turn into a sword, a knife, or a gun?"
Old Man Xiao frowned in thought and said hesitantly, "This doesn't seem difficult?"
"Then you should give it a try."
Li Xuan said with a smile.
"good!"
Old man Xiao didn't understand what Senior Daozu meant. He took a deep breath, raised his hand and grabbed the tree. The tree instantly rose from the ground and was condensed into a sword in an instant.
"Senior, what do you think?"
Li Xuan shook his head and said, "The sword in your hand only has form but no principle."
As he said this, he looked at his eldest disciple Xu Yan and said, "Disciple, turn that tree into a sword."
"Yes, Master!"
Xu Yan nodded, and with a thought, the other tree instantly turned into a sharp sword, its edge exposed. From this sword, one could feel the vitality and characteristics of the tree itself.
Old Man Xiao stood there in a daze. He knew that Xu Yan's swordsmanship was mysterious. Only at this moment did he truly realize how terrifying this mysterious swordsmanship was.
He looked at the sword in his hand, and then at the sword in Xu Yan's hand. He became depressed, threw the sword away, and prostrated himself on the ground, saying, "Senior Daozu, please give me some advice!"
Li Xuan smiled warmly, and the aura of the Taoist master was filled with the rhythm of the Tao. His voice sounded like the sound of the Tao, sounding leisurely.
"This world is incomplete. How can you comprehend the true way of heaven and earth? And when you enter the land of incorruptibility, you lose yourself and cannot find the way forward.
"Only by understanding the Way of Heaven and practicing the Way of Heaven can there be a way forward."
Old man Xiao was shocked. The meaning of Senior Daozu’s words was very clear. There was no Heavenly Dao in the Taicang world, and without Heavenly Dao, it would naturally be an incomplete world!
If he wanted to go further, he had to comprehend the Way of Heaven and practice the Way of Heaven, and the prerequisite for this was that there was the Way of Heaven in the Taicang world.
"Senior, where is the Way of Heaven and how can we comprehend it?"
Old Man Xiao asked devoutly and respectfully.
Li Xuan smiled brilliantly behind the aura of Daozu. The time was almost right. It was time to ask old man Xiao, the world master, for help, so that Tian Zi could run the entire world faster and let all warriors comprehend and practice the way of heaven.
