"Really tough thinking, tough progress."

Li Heng smiled.

He found the old man much more pleasing to the eye, because what he said just now was almost the same as what he thought. In a sense, he and the old man are also in the same boat.

"Oh, strict? Is this strict?"

"I used to have fellow travelers, and I met countless seekers who were also seeking the path of transcendence. Guess why I am the only one now?"

Before Li Heng could answer, the old man continued.

"Because they are not so "strict" on themselves! So they think that they have attained the Tao, they have achieved the ultimate, and they are immersed in the dream of omniscience and omnipotence."

"I have seen the situation of some fellow travelers on the road before. Guess what I saw? I saw someone who was infinitely detached in a single thought. I don't know how many upper realms, how many existences that are countless times stronger than him were killed by him. Beyond."

"But what happened?"

"From the perspective of a bystander like me, that person is standing still, not really taking a step forward at all, just staying in the circle of his own knowledge to entertain himself, how ridiculous?"

When the old man talked about this, his expression was a bit self-deprecating.

"That's falling into the barrier of knowledge."

Li Heng replied.

The old man nodded.

"You can indeed describe it like this, but it's not complete. The things encountered by a person who has fallen into a cognitive barrier are false, but for that person, everything he transcends really exists, and the upper world also exists. Well, no matter the strong one, it’s all true.”

Li Heng thought for a moment when he heard the words,

"Actually, I have thought about what you said a long time ago, but I have never been sure whether it is true or not, or whether it is universal."

"Maybe there are people who really attain the Tao and are truly detached?"

He asked a question.

The old man scoffed at this.

"It's really detached to get the Tao of bullshit."

"I don't know how many times I've encountered this kind of situation. It's not like I haven't killed people who thought they were really transcended. Since they are really transcended, why can I kill them?"

"I will not say that my words have infinite universality in this endless unknown, and they are applicable everywhere. But I dare say that my reasoning, my words are far stronger than those who are trapped in their own realm, this That's enough!"

He spoke slowly, loudly.

"So your current situation."

Li Heng didn't say much, but looked at the old man in front of him again, who was like a lonely ghost, who could only barely manifest his figure through this strange bonfire and asked.

"Isn't the situation clear at a glance?"

"I'm dead." The old man said.

"Then why did you die? You didn't disclose this in detail." Li Heng asked. Although he didn't get a definite answer, a guess had already emerged in his mind.

"You young man is very smart. Yes, a large part of my death is also due to the fact that I was also trapped in my realm. I just feel that everything is under my control, omnipotent, and unable to truly It’s a step forward.”

"Maybe it's true or not?"

Li Heng smiled slightly.

The old man shook his head.

"It's fine if I don't have a reference around me, then I can fall into the illusion of being omnipotent and transcending everything like other fellow travelers."

"But you and my hometown, Great Void, he is the reference, and the supreme Taoist is also my reference, and even this road that continues to meander and extend to the endless front is also my reference, I These things can’t be dealt with by my own power. Then I won’t deceive myself into thinking that I know everything.”

Li Heng frowned.

"Wait, I can understand the Great Void and the Daoist, but this road is... Could it be that this road was really created by man?"

"Otherwise! You should be able to detect the artificial traces around you. Perhaps these artificial traces were deliberately left by the sages who opened up this road in the first place, and deliberately alerted the latecomers."

"After I transcended the great void, I have been exploring in the infinite unknown, constantly collapsing the unknown into the known, and constantly contacting newer things, but the speed is too slow, because this requires self-opening. Until the end, I encountered this On the road of the avenue, the speed is only a thousand miles a day."

"It's like walking from the narrow path to the Kangzhuang Avenue."

"You should be able to clearly sense that this road is incompatible with the infinite unknown around you, right?"

Li Heng nodded.

"The road to the Great Dao has a specific name and a specific form. It is not the unknown chaos, it must be something known. It is most likely opened by a certain pioneer. It's just that it is hard to say whether the pioneer is good or malicious. "

The old man nodded.

"You're right."

"The forerunner who opened up this road is in essence the same as I opened up the Hongdao Realm, including a group of transcendent practitioners. Maybe it's for the latercomers to go better, or maybe it's just for a better one. to include the latecomers."

"Of course, it doesn't have to be both."

"Then you still take the risk to take this path? Maybe your current situation is caused by taking this path."

Li Heng asked.

The old man was silent for a moment, and then he choked out five words.

"Young and ignorant."

Li Heng was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help feeling a little funny.

"You were already old when you transcended the Great Void, right? The group of powerhouses trapped by you in the Hongdao Realm called you an old bastard. What kind of young man is this?"

"The concept of youth is relative, don't care about it."

The old man made a sound in embarrassment and waved his hand.

"After I set foot on this road at that time, I realized that there was such a risk in hindsight. But then I didn't care about it. Guess why?"

"Because the gains far outweigh the potential risks."

Li Heng replied.

He can feel that this avenue is really "convenient".

"That's right, that's true. You don't need to open your own way, but you can follow the path of your predecessors. The efficiency is not only improved by a thousand times? Countless times! Besides, so what if there is a risk of being included? Is it possible to explore endlessly? Isn’t the unknown risk high?”

"I don't know how many people have been swallowed by the horror of the unknown."

said the old man.

"Besides, even if it is included, it doesn't mean that you can't surpass the breakthrough. Aren't you a living example? I used the power above the Hongdao Realm to set the ceiling for the Hongdao Realm, but you still broke through?"

"That's different."

Li Heng shook his head.

He cheated, but those who cheated were a minority after all.

"Perhaps. After all, since I died, I have been unable to update the ceiling of the Hongdao Realm. I can only let it grow freely, otherwise you may not break through and come here."

The old man said with a sigh.

"Not necessarily."

Li Heng smiled slightly.

"It seems that you are really confident. Although practitioners of the way of detachment are generally very confident, even though it is useless, you still can't beat what should be defeated."

"Don't be so discouraged, old man. There are rumors in the void that you can stand up to the Taoist master." Li Heng shook his head and laughed.

"Shoulder to the Taoist Lord?"

The old man looked strange.

"Well, in a sense, I have indeed been able to match shoulder to shoulder, but it is only temporarily. After all, you also know what the Taoist relies on, and there is nothing I can do about it."

"Don't say it's me, even the pioneer who opened up this road may not be able to defeat those Taoist masters. If you return to the Great Void at this moment, you will inevitably be suppressed by those Taoist masters."

Li Heng shook his head.

"That's not necessarily true. It's fine to go back now."

"Because the Taoist master is almost finished."
