Chapter 1003: Senior, it’s not that my path is narrow, it’s that the sky you see... is not big enoug
A sword, a word.
But it was enough to cheer up the people in Mo Han Tower who had already felt despair in their hearts.
Gu Xiu!
It’s Gu Xiu!
He is back!
He has returned from below the Immortal Burial Valley!!!
Ji Qinghan was also stunned. He looked up and saw that the figure in white clothes and white hair had appeared above the Duxian Sword at some point.
He had his back to him, staring at the powerful enemy before him.
But a bottle of elixir had already floated in front of Ji Qinghan and another cultivator, accompanied by Gu Xiu's words:
"Thank you for your hard work, fellow Taoists."
"From now on, just leave this place to Gu."
The words were very polite, and even Ji Qinghan, who shouldn't have been sad because he had already made the decision, couldn't help but feel a little upset.
If possible.
She still hoped that it would be Gu Xiu who had saved her and held her in his arms.
But soon, Ji Qinghan shook his head, threw away these messy thoughts, took the pill, and bowed to Gu Xiu: "Fellow Daoist, be careful."
After saying that, Ji Qinghan and his fellow surviving disciples turned back and returned to Mo Han Tower.
She had made a decision and determined a way to get out of the dilemma.
There is no use in thinking too much.
Besides, the current situation is not the time to consider these things.
Ji Qinghan's thoughts were not noticed by the others present. At least the Palace Master of Suling Palace, who had originally admired Ji Qinghan, now had his eyes fixed on Gu Xiu:
"Are you Gu Xiu?"
"It's me." Gu Xiu nodded and looked at the supreme being of the spirit and soul.
"Before, in the White Tiger Secret Realm, my Suling Palace was determined to conquer it and even sent out two great generals, the Deputy Palace Master and the Great Elder. However, in the end, no one from my Suling Palace returned."
"You did all this?"
"I guess so." Gu Xiu nodded.
The Palace Master of Suling Palace questioned, "Since you have met the two of them, you should know that my Suling Palace has no intention of becoming an enemy of someone as blessed as you. In fact, we are very sincere towards you."
"If we don't share the same ideals, we can't work together." Gu Xiu replied.
"Different paths?" The Palace Master of Suling Palace sneered. "How ridiculous! In the cultivation of the same path, different paths lead to the same destination. No matter which path we take, the goal is ultimately to improve our cultivation and pursue immortality. Our goals should be the same, so how can we talk about different paths?"
Gu Xiu shook his head:
“Practice is like climbing a mountain. While the goal is to climb from the foot of the mountain to the top, the choices you make along the way, and what you see and hear along the way, are all different.”
"The elders like to use any means necessary to climb the mountain, even if it means burning the road ahead and cutting off the way back."
"But this is not the path I want to take."
"Then which path do you want to take?" asked the Palace Master of Suling Palace with raised eyebrows.
Gu Xiu replied, "I'm curious about the scenery at the top of the mountain, but I also care about what I see along the way. Whether it's a smooth road or a muddy one, it always has its own unique charm. If I give up all the experiences along the way just to get to the top as quickly as possible, how can I be sure that the scenery I see at the top is really what I want to see?"
He said this in a very light tone, but with a different kind of firmness in his voice.
This is his way!
Whether it is fast or slow, smooth or muddy, but no matter what, it is the path he has taken and the scenery he has seen along the way. Perhaps the end point of the practice is indeed the same, but these different choices also bring different feelings.
The result may be important, but who can say that the process cannot be wonderful?
"He actually debated with a Supreme Being and didn't lose?"
"Is this the genius who even Sword Saints want to become Sword Immortals?"
"He's only at the Spiritual Transformation Realm, yet he was able to give such an answer to the Supreme Being's question. He's truly worthy of being the prodigy who suppressed his peers five hundred years ago!"
"..."
Many people couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. It was hard to imagine that one day they would see a cultivator in the God Transformation Stage discussing Taoism with the Supreme Being. It was even harder to imagine that this cultivator in the God Transformation Stage, with his clear thinking and firm heart in Taoism, could actually say such words.
“The scenery along the way?”
Even Master Baiyu was a little surprised. He glanced sideways at Gu Xiu, but soon frowned again and muttered to himself, "But what if, when you are about to reach the top of the mountain, you want to destroy all the scenery along the way?"
That being said.
But it also lacked some of its previous firmness.
Perhaps even he began to doubt whether his previous thoughts were really correct.
"But do you know that this so-called mountain road you mentioned will eventually come to an end?"
The Palace Master of Suling Palace shook his head, looking down at Gu Xiu with a look that was almost pitying, and said, "Let me tell you, this road is filled with natural dangers that mortals cannot cross. There are indeed thousands of great roads, but if you choose the wrong one, even if you waste your entire life, it will be difficult to cross the gap between heaven and earth."
These words carried the supreme pressure of the Supreme Being, as if what he said was the golden saying, the motto of heaven and earth!
"If I couldn't reach the top of the mountain, how can I say that my way is wrong?" Gu Xiu was not afraid and asked back.
This time, the Lord of Suling Palace laughed. He looked at a frog in a well, with mockery and disdain in his eyes. He said quietly:
"As the Supreme, I have already stood at what you call the top of the mountain."
"So, I can tell you."
"Your way."
"wrong."
"If you wake up and repent in time, you may still have a chance to reach the top in the future. Otherwise, you will never reach the end of this road."
As soon as he said this, an incomparably powerful spiritual force instantly pressed down on Gu Xiu's heart.
"Pfft!"
"Tao...my Tao, is it wrong?"
"Why am I so desperate? This shouldn't be the case, but... is my path really wrong?"
This spiritual power seemed to carry some kind of magic. Even the powerful monks who were accidentally exposed to it could not help but kneel on the ground and fall into self-doubt.
Seeing this scene, the old drunkard and Bai Yu Zhenren's expressions changed drastically in an instant: "Not good, this is the words of a broken Tao. The Lord of Suling Palace wants to make Gu Xiu's Tao heart collapse!"
They despised the methods used by the Lord of Suling Palace, but they had no way to stop it.
He could only look at Gu Xiu worriedly.
This is a method used by a supreme being, and one who is extremely powerful in the way of soul. Even a supreme being of the same level may be affected by it if he is not careful, let alone a kid in the God Transformation Stage.
only……
To their surprise, when they looked over, they saw Gu Xiu still standing there, motionless, unaffected at all. He simply asked calmly:
"is it?"
This result was so unexpected that even the Palace Master of Suling Palace couldn't help but frown. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Gu Xiu had already drawn the Immortal Crossing Sword in front of him:
“Although I have never reached the summit, I have heard a line of poetry from an ancient sage.”
"Look at the ridge and the side into the peak, the distance is different."
"You stand on your so-called peak, overlooking my path, and declare it a dead end. Perhaps it's not my path that's wrong, but the peak you're on..."
“Not high enough.”
His voice was gentle, but every word was as sharp as a sword:
"You said we'd reached the summit, but have you ever considered that above this vast sea of clouds, there's still another world? You said the mountain road has ended, but have you ever seen the world beyond the clouds and mist?"
"Practicing is like climbing a mountain, but there are mountains beyond mountains and heavens beyond heavens. Your judgment that I have no way forward based on what you see now is like a frog in a well, thinking the sky is only as big as the well mouth. Or like a summer insect, clinging to ice, thinking the four seasons end in one scorching summer."
"My path may be winding, it may be bumpy, but every step gives me a deeper understanding of this world and a deeper understanding of myself. The trials and tribulations along the way, as well as the rainbows and rainbows, are all part of my foundation."
He casually flicked the Sword of Crossing Immortals, and it immediately whistled. Amidst the whistling sound, Gu Xiu's voice could be heard again:
"Don't laugh at the young man's lofty ambitions, he once promised to be the best in the world. When he breaks through the nine heavens, he will know that there is no boat in the sea of clouds."
"Senior, it's not that my path is narrow, it's that you see the sky..."
“Not big enough!”
