Lou Xiaoyi knew he didn't have the right to refuse, and he didn't want to always owe someone a favor. It was too uncomfortable.
"Fellow Daoist, you don't have to ask whether I'm willing or not. Moreover, from what you've said, it might not be a bad thing for me?"
Cen Buyi was very satisfied. Why did he ask this Swordsman for help? Strength was one thing, but being honest, not putting on airs, and not being pretentious was another thing!
The cornerstone of cooperation was honesty, and the worst thing to do was to pretend to be obedient.
"As for the matter of the netherworld, if we can succeed, we'll be able to find a proper place for these souls, even if they aren't truly human anymore. That'll be a good deed! It'll be of great benefit to both of us.
The era is about to change, and we're in the midst of establishing the Dao! It's not wrong for everyone to put all their energy into this, but it's because their vision isn't broad enough!
I've been an Immortal for a million years, and while I don't dare to say that I understand everything, I still have a certain understanding of how the Heavenly Dao operates. In my opinion, if you want to succeed in establishing the Dao, you'll have to do it not only within the Dao, but also outside it! "
Lou Xiaoyi nodded in agreement.
Daoist Cen smiled. "The era is about to change, and the universe will experience countless calamities. This is the pain of the revolution, and it's unavoidable!
For cultivators, it might affect their futures, but for mortals, it affects their lives!
This kind of loophole can be found everywhere in the universe's revolution. Therefore, how we, those who dream of establishing the Dao, clean up the mess caused by the universe's changes is actually a very important part of obtaining the will of the Heavens! "
Daoist Cen was very frank, because he really did need this Swordsman's help. Judging from this person's past, his ability to deal with complicated matters was astonishing. Not only was he strong, but he also had wisdom and methods. Every time he came up with a new pivot, it was refreshing.
He needed this Swordsman's sincere help, and not just going through the motions without putting in any effort.
"It's like the Fifth Ring's disaster! What Superintendent Si did, he saved billions of lives. This isn't just for show, the will of the Heavens can feel it!
I've contributed to this, and I can also share the will of the Heavens. This is another cornerstone of establishing the Dao!
Most people can't understand this kind of cornerstone, so it's a waste of effort to stay here!
The path of the Dao encompassed too many things. It wasn't just about the profundities of your Dao Realm, it was also about how widespread it was, and how lofty one's intentions were!
I reckon that with so many people studying each Great Dao and learning from each other, the difference in Dao realms would be limited in the end. Then, if there is no difference in Dao realms, I'm afraid it would be a competition of things outside Dao!
That's what you and I are going to do! "
Lou Xiaoyi sighed in his heart. There were no fools in this world of cultivation. What Cen Buyi was doing was actually what he was going to do in the Heavenly Choice Continent. It was the same thing, wiping the buttocks of the epoch change. As long as you wiped it clean, soaked it in hot water, and massaged it a few times, the chances of establishing your Dao would greatly increase!
This was not because the Heavenly Dao was selfish, but because the Heavenly Dao was also using this opportunity to observe whether the person who established the Dao had the intention to be kind to the common people!
Thus, he smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, if you had said so earlier, why would we still talk about the exchange of benefits? It was all for one goal!
You and I both have our own plans for the Five Rings. It's the same for the Netherworld. In the future, I might have other troubles to look for Fellow Daoist for the same reason … "
Cen Buyi laughed. It was indeed comfortable to talk to smart people. "Oh? There's more? When the time comes, feel free to ask. The more such things, the better. There's no reason to push it away!
Put away the Sword Dao Tablet. At most a year, at least a few months. I will definitely come and look for you. Let's go to the Netherworld and see what we can do for those ownerless souls!
Wiping the buttocks of the Golden Immortals, I never thought I would have such an opportunity! "
Cen Buyi laughed and left, leaving Lou Xiaoyi in deep thought.
The simplest way to see if there were any changes was … Lou Xiaoyi released his own auspicious cloud!
His auspicious cloud had never been deliberately strengthened or thickened. To a small Universe Body like him, the auspicious cloud would change as his Great Dao expanded. Everything was up to fate and nature.
He rarely used his auspicious cloud. It was not that the auspicious cloud was not useful, but that he had too many tricks up his sleeves. His attacks were too fast, to the point that he did not need the auspicious cloud's protection most of the time.
After coming out of the cave, he had been busy. He did not have the time to observe the changes in his auspicious cloud!
The auspicious cloud no longer had an obvious Great Dao bias! Because he understood too much, the old Connate Great Dao and the new Great Dao mixed together. The nature of the auspicious cloud began to develop in the direction of a true small Universe.
When the auspicious cloud condensed, Lou Xiaoyi immediately discovered some incredible changes!
This was not the power of will, nor was it faith, nor was it incense … It was as if all of these had been mixed together. Then, through the reflection of a certain line of sight, the auspicious cloud became even denser. There was a sense of clarity in the dense cloud!
Heaven, Earth, and Man were Taoist terms. In fact, at his level, the meaning of these three words had a deeper meaning.
Heaven represented the Heavenly Heart and Heavenly Dao. Earth represented the cultivation of cultivators. Man was everything in the mortal world. Everything he did in the Five Rings deeply affected the gaze of the Heavenly Heart and the recognition of the mortal world. This was extremely important for someone who wanted to change the order!
Balance was everywhere!
If you want to change, subvert, and reorganize the order, you have to bear the backlash of change!
Virtue carries all things! Virtue can also change!
This made him understand the crux of why the majority of changes would not succeed based on hot-bloodedness! It was because you did not have enough virtue to bear it!
This virtue was not one's so-called noble and pure character, which was to be outstanding but to be pure, to rise from the mud but not be tainted. Instead, it was to actually do some things, because the Heavenly Dao was not blind. It could clearly distinguish the difference between talking and doing things!
Cen Buyi needed this to ascend to immortality. He needed it even more because he had to bear the backlash of subversion!
It was also because of this understanding that he was even more clear that Qing Xuan and Yan Chen would never succeed. Because they did not have enough virtue!
This kind of virtue, he had been doing it all along! Even from Jin Dan onwards! It was a kind of intuition. He knew that he could do great things in the future, so he did his best to increase his virtue!
This kind of accumulation did not happen overnight. It ran through his entire cultivation career!
What kind of virtue was the most favored by the Heavenly Dao?
All-rounded? Big enough? Ten billion in the Five Rings? Hundred billion in the Heavenly Choice?
Yes, and no!
There was another kind of virtue that was above all, and that was being consistent from beginning to end!
Lou Xiaoyi had been doing this ever since he stepped onto the path of cultivation. Since he was thrown into the first boundary of the void of the universe, since Hasa Planet, he had never stopped!
It was not like he was in a hurry to make last-minute efforts when the new era was about to arrive!
It was only intentional, so there was no end!
This was his point of view. Did Daoist Cen understand?
Cultivation had already begun from the first day you stepped onto the path of Dao!
