Chapter 918 The One Who Escaped

Di Jiu smiled awkwardly and didn't know how to answer the old man.

Fortunately, the old man didn't care. He just asked one question and didn't ask any more questions. He said to himself, "There is actually only one river in the Tianwu world, and this river is the Tianwu River. Anyone who wants to survive must be in the Tianwu world. Beside the Tianwu River, otherwise, you will definitely die..."

"Wait a minute, you said you have to live next to the Tianwu River, why are you okay living in Stone City?" Di Jiu asked doubtfully.

The old man was stunned again when he heard Di Jiu's words, and then he remembered what Di Jiu said before, that he had never seen Tianwu River before.

He didn't know if there were people living in the Tianwu Realm who didn't see the Tianwu River, but he knew that no one he knew dared to live without the Tianwu River.

"Stone City is right next to the Tianwu River. How could you not see it?" The old man frowned, as if he was wondering whether Di Jiu's words were true or false.

Is there Tianwu River next to Shicheng? Di Jiu was completely dumbfounded. Next to Shicheng, he only saw wilderness and Gobi. Where was the Tianwu River? He didn't even see a drop of water.

Cao Xi on the side suddenly said, "What he said is true. The Tianwu River is indeed next to Shicheng. You just didn't see it."

"Yes, yes..." After hearing Cao Xi's words, the old man said several words in succession.

Di Jiu said to the old man awkwardly, "I'm color blind, so I can't see. Don't tell others."

The old man didn't understand what color blindness meant, but he was now convinced that Di Jiu couldn't see the Tianwu River. His face turned a little pale, and then he lowered his head and hurriedly walked a few steps away from Di Jiu.

Di Jiu didn't care, turned to look at Cao Xi and asked, "Do you understand?"

Cao Xi nodded, sorted out his thoughts and then said, "There is no perfect way in the world. Not even Dubu or me, or even the Taoist I mentioned, has a perfect way. How can you be saved if you can't cross?" I don’t know what happened to Mo, but I can guess that the reason why Du Bu was plotted was not because Du Mo was so strong, but because Du Bu didn’t want to pursue perfection, and that’s why he fell into Du Mo’s trap.”

"What do you mean? Is it wrong to pursue perfection?" Di Jiu asked doubtfully.

Cao Xi said sternly, "You are right, pursuing perfection is wrong. If your way is too obsessed with pursuing perfection, your way will inevitably be broken and completely collapse. Whether it is the universe, itself, or the great road, There is no perfect existence. Therefore, the pursuit of perfection is itself an illusion. And the Tao exists. If you cultivate the existing Tao and pursue the non-existent illusion, how can it not collapse and break?"

Di Jiu fell silent, thinking of his past. Cao Xi's words are like a mirror. No matter whether he practices before or after practice, there seems to be no perfect existence.

"Cao Xi, how does Nadu pursue perfection?" Di Jiu asked.

Cao Xi replied, "When the Five Elements Universe was first divided, he alone obtained eight of the nine Hongmeng Dao. He was not satisfied yet and wanted my Hongmeng Dao. He even required me to commit myself to him."

"Is this the reason why he was plotted by Du Mo?" Di Jiu was puzzled.

Cao Xi shook his head, "No, the real reason why he was plotted by Du Mo should be his excessive pursuit of the escaped one."

"What do you mean?" Di Jiu felt that Cao Xi's words were a bit mysterious, so he escaped?

Cao Xi sighed, "When the Five Elements Universe opened the sky, the Nine Dao of Hongmeng fell into the Five Elements Universe, but the Five Elements Universe did not only derive the Nine Dao of Hongmeng..."

"Are you saying that the Five Elements Universe has derived the tenth Hongmeng Dao?" Di Jiu asked in surprise.

"That's right." Cao Xi replied affirmatively, "The Five Elements Universe did derive the tenth Hongmeng Dao, but there is no perfect way in the world, including the universe's Dao. So the tenth Hongmeng Dao is derived from In an instant, he escaped, for the sake of escape."

Di Jiu, who had escaped, had heard about it, but he didn't expect that there was such an explanation in Cao Xi's place.

Cao Xi continued, "Dubu probably knew that I had half of the Hongmeng Dao in me, and even knew that I would be reborn, so his main focus was on finding the escaped Hongmeng Dao. For me, Haha, maybe it was already part of his plan. The reason why he was plotted by Dumo is that I suspect that he guessed the location of the tenth Hongmeng Dao, so he was excited and was plotted."

Di Jiu interjected, "In this case, this Du Mo is even more terrifying. If this is really the case, he must know what Du is not doing and when Du is weakest."

Cao Xi responded, "Yes, Du Bu used his Nine Minds to search for the tenth Hongmeng Taoist Principle in the vast universe, or even outside the universe. He didn't know how many years he had been searching, or he had already exhausted all his energy. In addition, when he just discovered the tenth Hongmeng Dao Principle, his mind was unstable, and it is not surprising that he was plotted by Du Mo and others. "

At this point, Cao Xi took a breath and his tone became even more worried, "Du Bu was plotted by Du Mo. This is not the end. Because Du Bu will never die. Once Du Bu is reborn and finds the one who escaped, I am afraid that no one in the Five Elements Universe can be his opponent anymore. Even if many powerful people join forces, they will probably be crushed by him."

Di Jiu waved his hand, "Cao Xi, I think you are worrying too much. Back then, when Du was not plotted against, his Hongmeng Dao Principle had long been divided up. I heard that Du Mo brought Hongmeng Dao Principle into chaos. The world, trying to integrate the Hongmeng Dao Principle, was torn apart by the Sky-Opening Ax and the inner world was chaotic. The Hongmeng Dao Principle spilled out and was snatched away by eight people. After crossing the non-rebirth, he got the escaped One and could not gather the rest of the Hongmeng Dao. Principles of Tao.”

Cao Xi looked at Di Jiu and said in a solemn tone, "You don't understand that Hongmeng Dao cannot be crossed in the first place. He has long understood the opening charm of Hongmeng Dao. Besides, once he cannot be crossed, he wants Hongmeng Dao to be reborn. Dao Principles can be recalled across several universes without even needing to be snatched. For Dubu, the most important thing is not the few Hongmeng Dao Principles he took out, but the Dao Principles he has never obtained. A way to escape."

Di Jiu was silent again. He knew that he was far behind Du Bu because he didn't believe in fate at all, so he kept his fighting spirit. But Cao Xi hit him again and again. If what Cao Xi said was true, as long as Du Bu was reborn and found the one who escaped, then he would have no chance to deal with Du Bu.

"Then you said before that I could fight Du Bu..." Di Jiu didn't really care about Du Bu's pursuit of perfection. What he cared about was how to deal with Du Bu.

Cao Xi said: "I'm not saying that you can deal with Du Bu, but I mean that you have a chance to deal with Du Bu."

"How to do it?" Di Jiu asked eagerly. The most important thing for him now is not to integrate his own rules.

No matter how many basic laws he has constructed, he has constructed his own universe rules, and even constructed his own universe. so what? He can defeat the strong men in the entire universe. As long as one of them can't survive, what if he defeats the rest of the strong men? In the end, he will die at the hands of Watanabe.

Cao Xi looked at Di Jiu, his tone slowed down, and he said word by word, "That is to find the escaping One step first, and then control the way of the universe by yourself. In this case, the One who has escaped will no longer be able to escape." Having seen through you, I can no longer crush you..."

Seeing Di Jiu's surprise, Cao Xi explained, "If I guessed correctly, your Tao should gradually exceed the scope of the Five Elements Universe. Start building your own universe rules. As long as you take the third step, you will Build your own universe."

Di Jiu nodded and said nothing. It is normal for a person like Cao Xi to see the direction of his path. But Cao Xi also underestimated him. He could already use his consciousness to construct rules, which Cao Xi could not have imagined.

Cao Xi said calmly, "In fact, even if you do this and succeed, you can only crush others. You are still far from being able to deal with Du Bu. I can see that your road also starts from Hongmeng Road. Then derive it, and then build your own avenue. On the surface, you transcend the Five Elements Universe, but in fact you are still based on the Tao of the Five Elements Universe. You can even see the unnaturalness of crossing."

"Then how do I find the one who escaped?" Di Jiu said simply. He immediately knew that what Cao Xi said was true.

(That’s it for today’s update, good night, friends!)
