"Direction?" Li Xiu frowned slightly. It's not that he didn't understand, but he felt that the answer was a little too idealistic.
"That's right, it's the direction." Mo Daocang sighed and said, "According to that person, this world is a blooming firework. Although the firework is brilliant, it will eventually end. At that time, the world will be completely annihilated, and no one will be spared. The only way to survive is to find the right direction. If our world is compared to fireworks, then outside our world is a bigger world. That world not only has fireworks, but also many different things. If we want to survive, we can only turn into the firework spark that has found the right direction and ignite other things to obtain more energy for survival, so as to maintain and prolong our life that is as fleeting as fireworks."
What Mo Daocang said was similar to what Li Xiu had guessed. He frowned after listening and said, "Even if all the theories are true, how can we be sure that there are things around these fireworks that can be ignited? If not, how can we talk about the direction?"
"That person said yes, but it requires a sufficiently hot spark to ignite it. We keep practicing and strengthening ourselves, just to be able to become that sufficiently hot spark." Mo Daocang said.
"What is it? A house? A pile of firewood, or a piece of paper? If it's really as he said, even if it's really ignited, how long can it last? What will we do in the future? Besides, after it's ignited, will it still be our world?" Li Xiu said.
"Your concerns are valid, and everyone has thought about it, but apart from this path, what else can we do?" Mo Daocang said angrily.
Li Xiu thought about it and it made sense. Even if he only lived one life, it could prove that this fireworks-like world existed. If he did nothing, when the brilliant fireworks burned out, that would be the time when this world would disappear quietly.
Of course, all this is based on the premise that what that person said is true. Li Xiu still has doubts about this and cannot fully believe it.
Mo Daocang said that he had seen the dust from fireworks, but Li Xiu had not seen it. Li Xiu would not blindly believe in something he had not witnessed with his own eyes.
With Mo Daocang's story, Li Xiu finally understood the entire context of Changshengtian.
The president established Changshengtian. Before or after that, he found the ancestors of the eight great families and made them the first residents of Changshengtian. They were also the earliest trial-takers.
However, because the resources of this world are limited, the president and the ancestors of the eight great families have made an agreement to give as many resources as possible to those who have the opportunity to become trial-takers outside the ignited world, so ordinary trial-takers actually cannot get many resources.
The president has been controlling the trial-takers in Changshengtian to plunder the magic resources, which is why there are not so many high-level trial-takers in Changshengtian.
The information about the trial-takers and the demon spirits has never been truly made public. Over the past few thousand years, only a handful of human elites have been invited to join Changshengtian and become trial-takers.
To put it bluntly, these elites are just guinea pigs waiting to be selected. Once it is discovered that their abilities are not enough to reach the final step, they will be eliminated directly, or they will only be able to do some auxiliary work in Changshengtian.
The ancestors of the Eight Great Families were indeed powerful, and many of them were powerful god-level bosses. In order to seek a breakthrough and become the one who could ignite the world beyond, those god-level bosses stayed in the trial grounds for many years to practice.
Maybe there are some restrictions, or maybe the president has some agreement with them, and they cannot return to Changshengtian before they take that step.
The president has also been paying close attention to the movements of the big guys from the eight families. It's fine when they are alive, but once they die, even the interests of their families will be cancelled, unless someone with the opportunity to reach that step is born again in their family.
It is now certain that among the elders of the four families, Sun, Mo, Li, and Han, there must be god-level bosses in the trial ground, otherwise these four families would not be able to maintain their current status.
"If there really is still a god-level boss in the Li family alive, and he knows about the grudge between me and the Li family, will he come to fight me to the death?" Li Xiu wanted to upgrade the evil spirit card to the god level even more quickly.
He had witnessed the horror of Mo Daocang's attack, and he was not much inferior to Guan Jinghao in the Fallen God state. It could only be said that their development directions were different.
If the big boss of the Li family is of similar level to Mo Daocang and comes to fight him, it would be a troublesome matter.
As for the mysterious things in the world of fireworks, they are not within Li Xiu's consideration.
Even if this world is really a firework, for Li Xiu and others, a moment of beauty is no different from eternity. At least Li Xiu is unlikely to live to see the day when the firework burns out.
Since he won't live to see that day, there is nothing to worry about. Let the younger generations work hard to solve their own problems. Li Xiu just needs to do his own thing well.
"Master Mo, how many gods like you are there now?" Li Xiu tried to find out the information.
"I have been away from Changshengtian for too long. I only know that there were a total of fourteen god seats in the eight great families at that time. It is hard to say how many more have emerged later and how many are still alive. I am afraid there should not be many, otherwise the other four families would not have been kicked out of the list of great families."
After a pause, Mo Daocang continued, "I have been traveling in the Demonic Kingdom over the years and have encountered a total of nine human gods, including the old deaf man. I estimate that six of them are no longer in this world. It is hard to say whether the other three are still alive."
Li Xiu knew without asking that the old deaf man and the others should be from the four major families that had been expelled from the eight major families.
"After all these years, has anyone really reached that step?" Li Xiu asked casually.
"Yes." Mo Daocang's answer surprised Li Xiu a little. He didn't expect that someone would actually go that far.
Mo Daocang continued, “I have personally witnessed Li Daoyi breaking the truth and ascending to the peerless world, tearing through the void and leaving. I just don’t know if he chose the right direction, and whether he is still alive outside the world.”
"Peerless? Is that a level above the throne of God?" Li Xiu asked.
"Didn't Li Boyang tell you?" Mo Daocang looked at Li Xiu puzzledly.
Seeing Li Xiu shook his head, Mo Daocang sighed and said, "You don't even know Jue Shi, it seems that you are really not the descendant of Li Boyang."
"I am not his descendant and have no blood relationship with him." Li Xiu said with a wry smile.
"Above the throne of God is peerless. The so-called peerless does not mean unrivaled, but it means the person who destroys the truth in the world." Mo Daocang explained.
"How can one be promoted to the peerless level?" Li Xiu asked hurriedly.
After the Forbidden Spear was promoted to the divine position, Li Xiu tried to give it more resources, hoping that it could go further. However, even the divine magic core only improved the Forbidden Spear insignificantly and did not have much effect. It was as if there was no way forward.
"You are really an outlier. Li Boyang didn't tell you anything, but he promoted you to the Godhood. I wonder what he wants to do?" Mo Daocang said thoughtfully, "After being promoted to the Godhood, ordinary light energy can hardly make you go further. At this point, promotion is no longer a simple accumulation of energy, but requires understanding the light of truth. Only when you understand the light of truth can you open the upper limit of truth and then increase the intensity of the light of truth by absorbing light energy."
"What level of understanding is required to be able to advance to the next level?" Li Xiu was delighted as he finally saw the road ahead.
"No matter how much you understand, you can't be promoted to the peerless level." Mo Daocang's words made Li Xiu stunned.
Mo Daocang smiled upon seeing this: "No matter how thoroughly you comprehend the truth, it is still the truth. If you cannot break the truth, how can you become the truth that destroys the world and become the existence that escapes from the rules?"
"Since it is the truth, how can it be broken?" Li Xiu frowned.
"What we think is the truth may not be the real truth." Mo Daocang patiently explained: "As I said just now, this is a world of fireworks. The reason why fireworks exist is that there are people who make fireworks. The truth we see may just be the result of the control of the fireworks maker, just like the fireworks bloom according to a certain law. We think this law is the truth, but from the perspective of the fireworks maker, it is just a law he created. If you can't break this man-made law, you don't even have the opportunity to choose a direction. How can you change your life trajectory and light up the outside world?"
"So that's how it is." Li Xiu understood what Mo Daocang meant.
“But if you want to break the truth, you must first understand the truth in depth. Only when you understand it well enough and find the point where it is not the truth, will you have the opportunity to advance to the peerless world.” Mo Daocang sighed, “I have practiced till now, and the light of truth can no longer advance an inch, but I still can’t find the point to break the truth, so it is difficult to advance to the peerless world. If those old guys are still alive, nine out of ten are like me, or they have already broken the truth and escaped from this fireworks world.”
"Besides Li Daoyi, does the Li family have any other gods?" Li Xiu was relieved when he heard that the big boss of the Li family had escaped from this world. Before he was promoted to a god, he didn't want to be entangled by such a person.
"I don't know whether there was anyone later. The only one I know is Li Daoyi. Although the Li family didn't have anyone, Li Daoyi had a disciple who was promoted to a god and left Changshengtian to practice. We haven't seen him since then, and we don't know whether he is dead or has escaped from this world. His talent is not much inferior to Li Daoyi. If nothing unexpected happens, he will most likely become a peerless person." Mo Daocang said.
"What's that man's name?" Li Xiu asked with a frown.
Mo Daocang did not answer immediately, but looked Li Xiu up and down for a while before saying with a smile: "You have a grudge against the Li family, right?"
"There are indeed some grudges." Li Xiu nodded. He knew that he couldn't hide it from someone like Mo Daocang, so he simply admitted it.
"Don't worry. Although that person is Li Daoyi's disciple, he has no feelings for the Li family, and will not help the Li family. You can rest assured." Mo Daocang continued in a serious tone, "You have already been promoted to the Godly Position. Simply hunting down demons, even if they are Godly demons, is no longer meaningful. Instead of hunting down demons, you should spend more time understanding and comprehending your own light of truth. That is your real way out. Otherwise, it will be useless no matter how many demons you kill or how many magic cores and items you get."
"Thank you, old man. I will go back to comprehend the light of truth." Li Xiu bowed slightly and prepared to go back, but after looking around, he realized that this place was too far away from the Ice City. He had to go back to the Ice City first before he could blow out his own Longevity Lamp and return to Changshengtian.
"What are you going back for? If I'm not mistaken, your light of truth should be the forbidden light of the Sea of Heaven. You should go to the Sea of Heaven, where you should be able to quickly comprehend the mystery of the forbidden light." Mo Daocang pointed in a direction, "If you go that way, you will naturally reach the Dead Sea. After crossing the Dead Sea, you can see the Sea of Heaven."
"The Sea of Heaven is one of the three forbidden areas. There are countless mysterious and terrifying demons inside. I'm afraid I will die there." Li Xiu said tentatively.
Mo Daocang smiled and said, "You possess the forbidden light. If you go there, the peerless demon spirit in the Sea of Heaven will be overjoyed. How can he let other demon spirits kill you?"
"Why?" Li Xiu was a little confused.
As long as the trial-taker obtains the contract in the Haitian Trial Field, he should eventually possess the forbidden light. This is not rare. I really can't imagine why the peerless demon spirit would be happy about this.
"You'll know when you get there." Mo Daocang suddenly kept the secret and didn't tell Li Xiu.
Since Mo Daocang didn't say anything, Li Xiu had no choice but to observe his expression. The answer might be a little special.
"The president chose me to represent him to the Sea of Heaven. Is it because I possess the forbidden light?" Li Xiu couldn't help but associate them together.
"In short, you should go to the Sea of Heaven. Maybe your opportunity to ascend to the peerless level is there." Mo Daocang added.
Li Xiu felt that he might as well not say this, and thought to himself: "They say that people become more cunning as they get older. This is a living example. I've been talking for a long time, and you're waiting for me here."
Although Li Xiu really wanted to know what Mo Daocang meant, since Mo Daocang didn't tell him, he held back and didn't ask any more questions.
"I still have some things to deal with in Changshengtian. It won't be too late to go to Tianhai after I finish them." Li Xiu said and prepared to go back.
"I'll take you back." Mo Daocang said.
"No need, I remember the way. We still have plenty of time, so I can go around by myself." Li Xiu planned to find a secluded place in the trial ground, first promote the evil spirit card to the position of god, and then return to Changshengtian, so as to avoid promoting the position of god in Changsheng City and causing any unnecessary trouble.
"Okay." Mo Daocang took a look at the ancient city that had turned into ruins, then waved his sleeves. Thousands of magic cores and various items in the ruins seemed to come alive and flew towards Mo Daocang's sleeves.
So many magic cores and various items flew into his big sleeves and disappeared in the blink of an eye. No one knew how his sleeves could hold so many things.
Li Xiu originally thought that since Mo Daocang no longer needed these things, he could just pick them up, but he didn't expect that Mo Daocang would just take them all away.
As if seeing through Li Xiu's inner thoughts, Mo Daocang said with a smile: "These are the foundation of the world. If we use some of them, the world will be one step closer to destruction. It's better not to waste them if possible."
After saying that, Mo Daocang rode his mount into the air and disappeared into the distant sky in the blink of an eye like lightning.
Li Xiu shook his head, figured out the direction, and left the ancient city that had become a ruin.
Li Xiu was paying attention to the surrounding environment while walking. After walking only half the way, he found a relatively suitable place.
It was a valley surrounded by mountains. In the valley lived a group of wolf-shaped demons of low levels. After Li Xiu killed them, he stayed in the wolf cave in the valley.
There are no other demons nearby, and the wolf cave is very secretive. No other high-level demons should come here for a while, otherwise these low-level wolf-shaped demons would not occupy this place.
Li Xiu got a huge rock and blocked the entrance of the wolf cave, and then took out the two divine gems.
"Success or failure depends on this one move." Li Xiu summoned the Red Cast Soul and the Blue Cast Soul, fed the Burning Sky Demon King's divine gem to the Red Cast Soul, and fed the Ice Bone Yin Spirit Beast's divine gem to the Blue Cast Soul.
The red and blue cast soul directly swallowed the divine gem, and terrifying light energy suddenly rose from its body.
It is obviously different from the previous time when the Forbidden Spear was promoted to the divine position. The two divine gems are of extremely high quality, enough to match the red and blue cast souls. It seems that they should not require Li Xiu to use the ultimate light for assistance.
As the power of the divine gemstone took effect, not only did the light energy of the red and blue demons continue to increase, but their bodies also underwent some wonderful changes.
They are becoming more and more like humans, with more and more details on their bodies, and you can even vaguely see expressions on their faces.
As Li Xiu was watching, the evil spirit card flew out and hovered in the middle of the red and blue cast spirit.
The red and blue cast spirits immediately rushed towards the evil spirit card and rushed into the front and back of the evil spirit card respectively.
In an instant, red and blue light shone brightly on the evil spirit card. The red and blue light were like two wings of light, enveloping the evil spirit card.
As the light on the evil spirit card grew stronger, the red and blue light also became tighter and tighter, like a red and blue light cocoon suspended in the air.
"It seems that my help is really not needed." Seeing that the evil spirit card was promoted so smoothly, Li Xiu couldn't help but admire the president's sharp vision. He could see at a glance that the divine gems of the Burning Sky Demon King and the Ice Bone Yin Spirit Beast were suitable for his red and blue cast soul.
Not knowing how long it would take for the evil spirit card to be promoted to the status of a god, Li Xiu simply sat aside, took out the ring that exploded from the Ice Bone Yin Spirit Beast, and played with it in his hand.
This ring, which is as crystal clear as a diamond, is a skill ring and is emitting bursts of icy air.
Li Zhengzheng wanted to drop his own blood on it and turn it directly into his own skill, but suddenly he felt a slight vibration coming from the ground of the wolf cave.
Before Li Xiu could take a closer look, something suddenly emerged from the ground not far away.
Either it drilled out, or something like ** seeped out directly from the rock.
