"Life is simple, and the grand dao is boundless. Because of life, the entire universe exists. If life were to fade away, the Chaosverse would cease to exist." Ye Xuan gave a direct answer.
"You're wrong."
Ye Xuan slowly shook his head. "All things are born to nourish man, but man has nothing to repay the heavens with. In the Chaosverse, all life is insatiably greedy. They are the parasites of the universe, eating away at the Chaosverse with each passing day.
"From birth to death, every living being eats away at everything around them. Babies need to breathe, mortals need to eat grains, and cultivators need to cultivate. They need to plunder all the resources in the Chaosverse, all for the sake of their own survival. This is the true essence of life.
"We cultivators defy the heavens, but rather than fighting for our own lives, we plunder all the resources that can keep us alive.
"Whether it's killing or plundering, it's nothing more than a manifestation of the continuation of life.
"What do you think the strongest are?
"The strongest are nothing more than slaves of the Chaosverse.
"Are you confused as to why you're still no match for me even though you've achieved the dao of the present age?
"Let me tell you something. You're just a slave of the Chaosverse, borrowing the power of the Chaosverse. I've long since broken through this boundary. That's why you're no match for me.
"Taboo figures never come into being. That's because they're the resisters of life. They're the biggest parasites of the Chaosverse. The Chaosverse wants to destroy them, but they do everything they can to survive."
Ye Xuan spoke a lot, but the more he spoke, the more perplexed Ye Fengtian became. He was even more confused about the dao of life.
"You've achieved the dao of the present age, and you're the master of the Eleventh Aeon. But have you ever wondered why the Chaosverse has twelve aeons?
"What happens after the twelve aeons?
"In the distant, unknown past, there existed a previous Chaosverse. From destruction to rebirth, this is the so-called cycle of reincarnation. Life is nothing but a joke in the face of the Chaosverse!"
Ye Xuan didn't know if he was talking to Ye Fengtian or talking to himself. By the time he finished, Ye Fengtian was completely lost.
After a long time, he stared blankly at Ye Xuan. "Master, where is my dao?"
"The dao is in your heart," Ye Xuan replied calmly.
"The dao is in your heart?"
Ye Fengtian was confused. "But I don't know if the dao in my heart is right or wrong.
"There is no right or wrong in this world, only strong or weak. If you think it's right, then it's right. If you think it's wrong, then it's definitely wrong." Ye Xuan lightly said.
"I don't understand!" Ye Fengtian said bitterly.
"It doesn't matter if you understand or not," Ye Xuan said. "Although you've achieved the dao of the present age, you've only achieved the dao of the Chaosverse. You haven't clearly understood your own dao. When you break free from the shackles of the Chaosverse, you'll understand where your dao is."
In truth, there was something Ye Xuan didn't say. If one day, Ye Fengtian truly broke free from the shackles of the Chaosverse and truly understood his own dao, then he would be able to break free from the Omnipotence and become a forbidden figure.
This was because every forbidden figure understood their relationship with the Chaosverse. Only then would they be able to walk a heaven-defying path.
This was why the Chaosverse didn't tolerate forbidden figures.
Even now, Ye Xuan could faintly sense an invisible will pressing down on him. It constantly gave him a sense of danger.
Silence. Heaven and earth were silent.
At this moment, Ye Fengtian was still confused. He hadn't reached Ye Xuan's level yet, so he couldn't see his own body clearly.
"I've disobeyed you, Master. Please kill me."
Finally, Ye Fengtian broke the silence. He bitterly begged Ye Xuan.
"Master, please don't."
Wan Hongling's expression was sorrowful. She crawled over to Ye Fengtian and bitterly begged Ye Xuan.
At this moment.
Ye Xuan looked at his two traitorous disciples indifferently. There wasn't the slightest ripple in his eyes. Beside him, Ye Xuan's expression kept changing. He didn't know if Ye Xuan would kill the two of them.
"Xuanmo, heal their injuries and imprison them in the Demonic Heavenly Palace forever. Without my permission, they're not allowed to take half a step out of the palace."
Finally, Ye Xuan calmly gave his two traitorous disciples a sentence. He stepped out and returned to the Demonic Heavenly Palace.
"Yes, Master."
Ye Xuanmo's eyes flickered. He hurriedly agreed, grabbed Ye Fengtian and Wan Hongling, and turned into a beam of light to follow Ye Xuan.
In fact.
According to Ye Xuan's temperament, the two traitorous disciples should have died for disobeying him.
It wasn't that Ye Xuan felt pity for them, nor was it that he didn't have the heart to kill them. It was that whether or not he killed the two traitorous disciples was of no use to Ye Xuan.
Because Ye Xuan clearly knew that even if he killed the two traitorous disciples today, someone else would take their place in the future.
Although the two traitorous disciples disobeyed him, they didn't really betray Ye Xuan. It was just that Ye Xuan's Dao of Life was the opposite of Ye Xuan's.
Therefore, sparing the two traitorous disciples' lives was very useful to Ye Xuan. Although Ye Fengtian disobeyed him, he never really wanted to be enemies with Ye Xuan. This was also one of the reasons why Ye Xuan spared their lives.
Moreover, Ye Xuan faintly deduced that Ye Fengtian's current state was inseparably related to the three paragons.
Needless to say, the Lord of Space and Ye Xuan were close friends. However, fate and chaos were different. After countless years, Ye Fengtian must have had a very deep relationship with the two.
As mentioned before, the Chaosverse had three fundamental Edicts: chaos, fate, space, and time. None of these Edicts could be missing.
The three paragons could be said to be the true representatives of the Chaosverse. Ye Fengtian's Dao of Life was pure and simple. He was easily bewitched by chaos and fate.
Of course, this was all Ye Xuan's speculation. However, Ye Xuan was certain that Ye Fengtian's transformation had something to do with the three paragons.
… …
The Paramount Demonic Palace!
Clang!
With a loud bang, the door of the Divine Prison was slammed shut. Ye Fengtian and Wan Hongling were thrown into the Divine Prison. Without Ye Xuan's permission, they would never be able to take half a step out of the Palace.
"Junior brother, junior sister, since master has confined you here, you can stay here with peace of mind. Don't say that I didn't take care of you. If you need anything, you can ask me. After all, you were unkind to me, but I can't be unkind to you."
"Hahaha."
Ye Xuan laughed proudly and left. Ye Fengtian and Wan Hongling's aura was weak. They could only watch bitterly as Ye Xuan left.
The two paragons were imprisoned in the Palace of the Paramount Demonic Palace. This was a disaster for them, but there was nothing they could do. After all, they were enemies of Ye Xuan!
"Fengtian, why don't you apologize to master? Is it really okay to be so stubborn?"
Inside the Divine Prison, Wan Hongling said bitterly.
Ye Fengtian was silent. At this moment, his eyes were dazed. Clearly, he didn't know whether what he did was right or wrong.
"Sigh!"
Wan Hongling sighed. The husband and wife could only stay in the Divine Prison for the time being. They didn't know when master would let them out.
