Chapter 406 What Is Tao?
What exactly do you want? What is your inner pursuit?
He had thought of these questions before, but they only flashed through his mind, and he never thought about seeking answers.
From the time he was a mortal to now, he actually had only one clear thought - to survive!
All his efforts, all his practice, meditation and Qi training day and night, almost never stopping to practice swordsmanship and boxing, risking danger to go out of the city every night to hunt monsters... All of this, he just did it to protect himself.
It's all just to survive in this extremely bad world, extremely dangerous world!
Even the immortality he talked about from time to time was just a vague concept.
So even if he practiced to the level of a master and broke through to the fourth level of Qi training, he was still at a loss about the so-called Tao, because he had not even found the path he wanted to take.
Everything he has achieved now is just the result of the pressure of reality constantly driving him, and if he himself, in his heart, is given the most appropriate description - a walking corpse who can practice?
Xu Dao's heart became calmer and calmer, and his thoughts became clearer and clearer. He realized that his previous practice was actually confused, and even wrong.
He had compassion in his heart, and would feel unfair because of the tragic fate of others. He had a soft heart. Even if he had seen many killings and was ruthless when facing monsters, he was willing to leave the softest part of his heart at home. He knew how to be grateful. Master helped him when he was the weakest, so he always remembered the kindness.
But he didn't understand what Tao was, let alone what it meant to seek Tao. He only knew how to practice. Because of the bronze giant tree, he could practice faster than others! More stable! He could achieve perfection in every realm without any mistakes. But he knew that this was not Tao!
So...
"What is Tao?"
Xu Dao suddenly opened his eyes, with a bright light in his eyes, "Who?"
There was no one, but Xu Dao saw a drop of water dripping from a high place out of thin air, falling on the mirror-like water surface, stirring up circles of ripples.
"What is Tao?"
Another voice, and this time it was even louder. The voice was mellow and majestic, as if carrying the might of heaven. Thunder could be heard faintly in the echo.
Xu Dao looked up at the sky, but still found nothing. There was only a gray cloud, covering everything and making it impossible to see clearly.
"What is Tao?"
The voice seemed to be waiting for a response, because Xu Dao hesitated to answer, and the third time followed!
Xu Dao frowned. Who was playing tricks? Was it the creatures in the ruins? Or... was it the ruins themselves?
He was constantly thinking about it. As for that question, he would not answer it. Who knew what was going on here? What if he got tricked again after answering?
Being trapped here is miserable enough now!
"Crack!"
Just as he had this thought in his mind, a violent noise suddenly exploded from above his head, and a huge purple thunder fell from above Xu Dao's head, and the posture was like a ferocious purple dragon.
"Fuck!"
Xu Dao was immediately horrified. The power of the thunder was not bad. If it fell on him, he could not hold on for several months!
But he was now entangled in chains and could not get rid of it. He could not help but curse!
But he could not escape at all. The thunder directly hit Xu Dao, and severe pain came from his limbs.
But in an instant, his skin was torn apart. What made Xu Dao even more panic was that the thunder actually hurt his soul! The severe pain from the depths of his soul was not fake.
"What is Tao?"
After a thunder fell, the voice sounded again!
Xu Dao's heart moved. Could it be that this was a punishment for not answering?
"The Tao is nameless and formless, illusory. If you insist, warriors and Qi refining are all Tao!"
"Crack!"
Another loud noise exploded in the sky!
"Again?"
Xu Dao's eyes widened. Didn't he not have to be struck if he answered the question? What's going on? And just now, I asked three times in a row before the thunder appeared. This time, it’s better, it will appear immediately?
Xu Dao cursed, but it was useless. Another thunder fell, and the severe pain surged from all parts of his body like a tide. Even with Xu Dao’s tenacity, he almost couldn’t bear it.
The thunder was so domineering, and the destructive power was so terrifying that even with his flesh, it was as fragile as white paper in front of such thunder, and it was useless!
"What is Tao?"
Xu Dao's heart was beating wildly. Will it end? Does he have to answer this question himself and answer it correctly before he can stop?
Isn’t that a joke? How can such a big question as "What is Tao" be something that he can touch at his level? Let alone him, even if you go to find a top power and ask him what Tao is? He just wants to slap you in the face!
The reason why Tao is Tao is because it is mysterious and cannot be spoken casually. If anyone can answer this question, then Tao is not worthy of praise.
However, when he thought of the terrifying thunder, he had to start thinking hard! If he answered wrong, he would be struck, but if he didn't answer, he would also be struck!
...
Nangong Nei was in a trance for a while, and looked around again. Sure enough, he was in another world.
"Is this the interior of the ruins?"
Nangong Nei looked into the distance, and was shocked by what he saw.
I saw countless mountains standing in the distance, their height was immeasurable and they were almost in the clouds. The mountains are extremely high, the situation is majestic, and there are auspicious clouds entrenched, and there are thousands of auspicious colors!
And on those mountains, there are jade trees and qionghua, dense thorns, and orchids are light, and the streams are affectionate, with many twists and turns; the peaks and peaks are endless, one after another.
This is completely a scene of a fairyland! Anyway, Nangong Nei dared to say that he had never seen such a scene in this world! Even those beautiful mountains and rivers occupied by the top Qi Refining Sects are not as good as here.
He took a deep breath, and suddenly a faint fragrance poured into his nostrils. This fragrance refreshed his soul, and the dirt seemed to be washed away from his whole body, as if the shackles were suddenly taken off and he broke free from the cage.
Nangong Nei couldn't help but shrink his pupils. Just the air here has such an effect. What on earth is this place? What is the origin of this ruins? Could it be that this is really a fairyland?
However, he soon stopped thinking so much, because he suddenly realized that if this place was so good, wouldn't it be very likely that there would be something that could extend life here?
Although he came in with this purpose, he actually didn't have any confidence in his heart. He just wanted to gamble on his luck!
Now it seems that my luck is not bad, right?
So, Nangong Nei walked straight towards the highest mountain in the distance!
