Time and space resumed its operation. Birds flapped their wings and flew across the sky. The vegetation on both sides of the dirt road rustled in the wind. The peddlers also woke up from their stillness. However, there was confusion in their eyes, as if they had forgotten what had just happened.
Ye Xuan lowered his eyebrows and clenched his fists. No one knew what kind of monstrous waves were surging in his heart. Even when the world resumed its operation, he still had not recovered.
"Dao Ancestor Hongjun?"
"He is Dao Ancestor Hongjun?" Ye Xuan murmured to himself. His eyes were as deep as an ancient pool. However, his clenched fists betrayed his restless state of mind.
At the beginning of the world, Hongjun came to the world. The Purple Cloud Palace set the Seven Great Sages and even mended the Way of Heaven himself. He could be called the strongest person in the Three Realms.
Dao Ancestor Hongjun, the Jade Butterfly of Fate!
If Ye Xuan was not mistaken, the green jade butterfly that appeared in front of him just now was the legendary Jade Butterfly of Fate. It contained the Way of Heaven and allowed him to find the way to become a Sage-to-be.
Dao Ancestor Hongjun disappeared without a trace. Even the Six Great Sages could not find him. The last time Dao Ancestor Hongjun appeared was during the Great God-Investiture Tribulation. He stopped the fight between the Five Great Sages.
However, Ye Xuan did not expect that Dao Ancestor Hongjun, who was lying high in the Nine Clouds, would appear in front of him and even give him the Chance of Becoming a Sage-to-be. This was simply unimaginable to Ye Xuan.
Who was Dao Ancestor Hongjun?
That was someone who was as famous as the great god Pangu. He was also the first person in the world to become a saint. He used his body to complete the Heavenly Dao and could completely represent the will of the world. He was an unimaginable supreme figure.
The Way of Heaven was Hongjun, and Hongjun was the Way of Heaven. This sentence fully explained Dao Ancestor Hongjun's status. Throughout the Three Realms, no one could compare to him.
Ye Xuan did not understand why Dao Ancestor Hongjun would help him. He did not understand Dao Ancestor Hongjun's purpose for him. Logically speaking, in Dao Ancestor Hongjun's eyes, Ye Xuan was not even an ant.
"Immortal Scripture? Heaven-Destroying Halberd? "
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed through Ye Xuan's mind. He seemed to have thought of something, and he muttered as an extremely bold guess appeared in his heart.
"Could it be … could it be that Yuan Ling is his doppelganger?" Ye Xuan growled in shock. His eyes suddenly froze.
"That's not right. If Yuan Ling is really Dao Ancestor Hong Jun's clone, he wouldn't have any qualms about killing me long ago. Who in this world can stop Dao Ancestor Hong Jun?"
Ye Xuan immediately denied his own judgment. It was just as he had thought. If Yuan Ling was the avatar of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, then Yuan Ling wouldn't have to do so much. Because with Dao Ancestor Hongjun's status, no one in the Three Realms could go against him.
"If Yuan Ling is not Dao Ancestor Hong Jun's doppelganger, then who is Yuan Ling's real body?"
Ye Xuan was thinking hard, but he could not get the answer he wanted. Yuan Ling had always been a big worry in his heart. Ye Xuan always had a feeling that Yuan Ling had been secretly spying on him, but he could not find any trace of his existence.
"Phew!"
Ye Xuan exhaled a mouthful of turbid air. His dignified expression relaxed, and he even waved away his troubled thoughts. Because Ye Xuan knew that no matter how he guessed, he would not get the answer he wanted.
"No matter why Dao Ancestor Hong Jun appeared, the only thing I have to do now is to step into the Sage-to-be as soon as possible." Ye Xuan said in a low voice, and a touch of determination appeared in his eyes.
"If the heart is not destroyed, all things will be immortal, and the Genuine Spirit will be born. Can you become a Sage-to-be?"
Ye Xuan kept thinking about this sentence. He had already grasped the opportunity to step into the Sage-to-be. This sentence meant that if he wanted to step into the Sage-to-be, he needed to sublimate his spirit. Only by sublimating his spirit could his Primordial Spirit turn into a Genuine Spirit. This was also a process that he had to go through to enter the Sage-to-be.
"Heart?"
A simple word came out of Ye Xuan's mouth. However, this word was extremely heavy in Ye Xuan's eyes. It made his eyes even more confused, and he kept thinking about the meaning of this word.
"Where is my heart? What is my heart? "Ye Xuan asked himself, but he could not get the answer he wanted.
This seemed to be a simple question, but the simpler the question, the more difficult it was. As the saying goes, Great Dao is always simple.
"Heart of Massacre? Heartless Heart? Undefeated Heart? Fearless Heart … "
Ye Xuan walked slowly on the Earth Path under the blazing sun. He did not know where to go, but he was completely immersed in an indescribable state. He hoped to find the answer.
Whoosh!
The wind blew violently, and dust flew everywhere. Ye Xuan walked through the wind and dust until he disappeared at the end of the Earth Path. He was still bitterly searching for the answer about the 'heart'.
…
The blazing sun hung high in the sky, and the summer was scorching.
A small stream flowed slowly from east to west. Fish swam in the stream, and the water reflected the reflection of the sparkling water.
Beside the stream, a few village children in patched clothes were laughing and playing. Some of them jumped into the stream to swim, while others held simple harpoons and fished in the stream. From time to time, they would let out cheerful laughter.
There were also a few village girls standing barefoot in the stream, washing their clothes. There were also a few young men dressed in farmer's clothing who stopped to watch. From time to time, they would let out a few silly laughs.
On the eastern bank of the stream, there was a simple and unadorned little village. At this time, the sun was setting in the west. Under the illumination of the setting sun, the little village was illuminated with a fiery red color. It made people feel peaceful and at ease when they looked at it.
Smoke rose from the kitchen chimneys. The sound of a dog barking came from the small village, mixed with the sound of parents calling for their children to come back.
"Let's go home and eat."
A few children playing by the stream laughed loudly. Then, they trotted back to their homes in their straw sandals.
"Little girl, slow down, slow down."
An old man, who looked to be in his sixties, had a kind smile on his face as he called out to a little girl who was running towards him.
"Grandpa, look what I caught?"
The little girl was not very old, only about six or seven years old. Her clothes were covered in patches, and the straw sandals she wore revealed two of her toes. At that moment, she held a carp the size of a palm in her hand and looked happily at the old man.
"Our little Zhuo Ma sure is impressive. Come home with grandpa." The old man smiled kindly as he rubbed the little girl's slightly fluffy hair. His eyes were filled with affection.
As the grandfather and grandson talked, the old man held the little girl's hand and walked into the village. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the two of them looked very warm.
"If the heart is eternal … All things exist forever … If the heart is eternal … All things exist forever …"
Suddenly, a slender figure walked over from the dirt path in the distance. However, his footsteps were staggering, as if he had fallen into a state of madness. He charged towards Ye Xuan and Zhuo Ma.
