Seeker Immortal Sect is not weak in strength. Looking at the entire Azure Mist Realm, it is also a powerful force.
But there is still a big gap compared to the Immortal Dust Sect.
Immortal Shade Realm has outstanding people and is originally the center of the world. It is indeed not comparable to the average fifth-level world.
Li Xiuchang's visit can be said to have alarmed the entire Seeker Immortal Sect senior management.
Seeker Immortal Sect received Li Xiuchang with the highest standards, and not long after he sat down, several more Seeker Immortal Sect Grand Elder came to accompany him.
Among the Grand Elder who came later, there were three Mystic Immortal, which gave Li Xiuchang a rough guess about the strength of the entire Seeker Immortal Sect.
Seeker Immortal Sect may not have golden immortal combat power, and even if he does, there will only be one or two at most.
Of course, this does not include those Seeker Immortal Sect strong men who have ascended to the sixth level of the world.
During some polite chat, Li Xiuchang also briefly introduced himself, mainly introducing Immortal Shade Realm and emphasizing that he came from Righteous Path's bulk Immortal Dust Sect.
They are all Righteous Path forces, and they can also make Seeker Immortal Sect put down a lot of wariness.
After the two parties became familiar with each other, Seeker Immortal Sect finally asked Li Xiuchang about his purpose.
Li Xiuchang pondered for a moment, not knowing how to explain the cause and effect of this matter, because it involves Shadow World and shadow, and it requires a lot of explanations, and others may not believe it yet.
Therefore, he also skipped the beginning and the end and went straight to the topic. "This time I came to the Azure Mist Realm specifically because I accidentally learned about the 'imitation Tao' of fellow Daoist Yuan Ze a few days ago. I felt that it was mutually corroborating with my Tao, so I came here specially to discuss it with him.
"Only when Azure Mist Realm inquired, I found out that fellow Daoist Yuan Ze had already ascended to the Upper Realm. But I also heard that there were still people practicing Imitation Daoism in your sect, so I paid a visit and wanted to see that little friend. Is it convenient?"
He didn't mention the matter of "stealing the secrets". Firstly, he didn't know whether it was true or not. Secondly, Yuan Ze was a strong man trained by the Seeker Immortal Sect. Saying this was a bit of a slap in the Seeker Immortal Sect's face.
Several Seeker Immortal Sect Grand Elder looked at each other, and one of them, a white-haired elder named Du, said:
"Fellow Daoist Li must have heard some rumors, saying that Elder Yuan Ze of our sect is a Daoist thief."
Seeing that the other party said it directly, Li Xiuchang no longer concealed it, and admitted generously. "I have indeed heard about it."
"It's all nonsense! "Another Seeker Immortal Sect elder said angrily.
Elder Du also shook his head. "There is actually another hidden reason behind this matter."
Li Xiuchang said, "I would like to hear the details."
Elder Du said, "I, Seeker Immortal Sect, have a special Grand Elder named Cao Wu. Up to now, Cultivation Level only has Void Refinement Stage, but he is the only genius I have ever seen in my life, and he is also the rumored Path Stealer."
With the strength of the Seeker Immortal Sect, if you want to be Grand Elder, you must have the immortal Cultivation Level. For a Void Refinement Stage to become Grand Elder, there must be something special about it, and he has made a lot of contributions to the Seeker Immortal Sect.
Elder Du continued, "Yuan Ze is indeed a genius. He is extremely talented in cultivation. Cultivation Level is making rapid progress. Although such geniuses are rare, in fact, every major sect has some.
"But not all of these geniuses can become successful and ascend to immortality. Even if they do not die young, there are still many who end up disappearing from the public. Fellow Daoists should understand why this is."
Li Xiuchang nodded, this is indeed a common phenomenon. Having talent does not mean that you will become a strong person. There are many fallen geniuses in the world.
Because this kind of cultivation talent only plays an important role in the early stage of cultivation. In the later stage, enlightenment is more important, which is the affinity and understanding of the Tao. Of course, opportunities, good teachers, and luck are also equally important.
The so-called cultivation talent, Cultivation Level, becomes more useless the higher it is.
For example, Li Xiuchang's inferior Spiritual Aperture did not affect the improvement of his Cultivation Level in the later stage.
Therefore, no matter how outstanding the cultivation talent is, the cultivation genius can only guarantee the smooth cultivation to Nascent Soul Stage at best, and it is hard to say anything further.
Elder Du continued, "Therefore, no one dares to say that a genius like Yuan Ze will be able to cultivate into an immortal in the future. Therefore, when Yuan Ze Cultivation Level was still young, Elder Cao Wu reached an agreement with him. Elder Cao Wu taught him the Tao, helped him become Dao Founder, and even escorted him along the way to become an immortal."
Li Xiuchang was surprised. "Is there such a good thing?"
To put it bluntly, Cao Wu taught Yuan Ze the great path he understood, and let Yuan Ze take the great path to its roots and become Dao Founder.
And Cao Wu undertook all the subsequent development of the avenue, supporting Yuan Ze to become an immortal along the way.
Even after Yuan Ze ascended, he was able to become a golden immortal in just a thousand years, which may not be due to Cao Wu's contribution.
Of course, this is not without benefits. The "imitation Tao" given by Cao Wu to Yuan Ze is indeed weak in terms of combat power.
It is equivalent to sacrificing combat power in exchange for a stable future.
Such an offer would probably be difficult for any monk with low Cultivation Level to refuse.
After all, combat power is only secondary, it is a means to protect the Tao. The purpose of everyone's practice is to pursue higher Cultivation Level and a longer life.
And no matter how weak his combat power is, compared with those of the same level, he will still crush those who are Cultivation Level lower than himself.
So it is not difficult to understand that Yuan Ze accepts such conditions, but what is difficult to understand is, what does Cao Wu want?
What good does this do him?
Even if it is said that he is supporting his fellow juniors, it is not like this.
Other Seeker Immortal Sect Grand Elder added, "Yuan Ze is not the only person supported by Elder Cao. We Seeker Immortal Sect have many ascendants who relied on the great path taught by Elder Cao to become Dao Founder and eventually ascended to immortality."
Li Xiuchang was even more shocked. This shows that Elder Cao created more than one avenue of his own and then gave these avenues to others.
Although the avenues he created may not be powerful, it is not easy to create one of your own, let alone multiple avenues for one person, and then give them away without any distress.
Why did he do this? Why not use these avenues for your own use? ""
Li Xiuchang asked his doubts.
Elder Du said, "I just said that Elder Cao Wu is the only genius I have ever seen in my life. I have never seen anyone more talented than him."
Li Xiuchang thought: That's because you don't understand me yet.
But he also guessed something and said, "Elder Cao's talent should be in enlightenment, right?"
"That's right." Elder Du nodded, "Elder Cao's understanding and affinity for the Dao are unprecedentedly powerful. No one knows how much Dao insight he has accumulated. All of us have no doubt that as long as he is willing to take that step and take the Dao to its roots, it will only take a day or two for him to ascend to immortality!"
Li Xiuchang did not doubt Elder Du's words. Elder Cao was able to support a powerful golden immortal like Yuan Ze, which showed that his accumulation of Dao insights was definitely not much different.
Ascension to immortality is just an understatement. Maybe he can speed all the way to True Immortal, Mystic Immortal, or even golden immortality in a short period of time.
"Then... what is Elder Cao waiting for?" Li Xiuchang asked curiously.
"Elder Cao has great ambitions and wants to create the strongest avenue in the world!"
Li Xiuchang's eyes shone. "I want to meet Elder Cao of your sect."
In the end Li Xiuchang got his wish and met Elder Cao.
However, Elder Du of the Seeker Immortal Sect stayed by Elder Cao's side and was responsible for protecting his safety.
Li Xiuchang quickly looked at the elder Cao Wu. Contrary to what he thought, Cao Wu looked very young, with clear and bright eyes that seemed unable to contain any distracting thoughts.
His face looked like he was only in his twenties. He raised his head and looked at Li Xiuchang quietly, with curiosity and doubt in his eyes.
All his emotions seemed to be revealed through those pure eyes.
"Heart of a Newborn." These four words naturally appeared in Li Xiuchang's mind.
For a person who has reached the limit of his enlightenment ability, it is reasonable to own a Heart of a Newborn. Only when the mind is clear of distracting thoughts can he understand the truth better.
"I heard that Daoist friends came to me to learn about Fang Tao?" Cao Wu asked directly without beating around the bush.
Li Xiuchang smiled and said, "Yes at first, but now I am more curious about you, Fellow Daoist Cao, than Fang Dao."
Cao Wu nodded and said frankly, "I am also very interested in you, fellow Daoist. I feel a strange affinity with the Tao in you, as if you are close to the origin of some special Tao. You should also be a Dao Founder, right?"
Li Xiuchang nodded calmly on the surface, but in reality he was shocked. Cao Wu's affinity for the avenue was indeed abnormal. It actually resonated with Equalizer Dao in his body.
This shows that even if Cao Wu understands his Equalizer Dao, it will not be difficult.
Cao Wu smiled and said, "Since we are all curious about each other, how about this, you answer a question for me and I will answer a question for you. How about that?"
Li Xiuchang thought this was quite interesting and readily agreed, "Okay."
Cao Wu looked sideways at Elder Du and said, "Elder Du, go and rest first. Don't worry about me."
"But..." Elder Du wants to say something. Cao Wu is Seeker Immortal Sect's treasure. He stays here mainly to protect Cao Wu's safety.
Cao Wu interrupted directly, "If Fellow Daoist Li wants to harm me, I'm already dead."
These words made Elder Du break into a cold sweat instantly.
The same is Mystic Immortal, and he is in the late stage of Mystic Immortal, but he did not expect that in the eyes of Cao Wu, he seemed to be no match for Li Xiuchang.
After hesitating for a moment, Elder Du did not insist and left.
Only Li Xiuchang and Cao Wu were left talking face to face.
Cao Wu said, "Let me ask first, I want to know what avenue you have cultivated?"
"I named the avenue of my cultivation 'Equalizer Dao', and its core is 'all things are equal'..."
Li Xiuchang fully introduced his Equalizer Dao to Cao Wu. Of course, he didn't mention many things that others didn't ask.
Cao Wu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he exclaimed, "What a powerful avenue!"
"Now it's my turn to ask questions." Li Xiuchang said, "I'm very curious, why does fellow Daoist Cao not become an immortal himself, but gives up the path he has worked so hard to create to others?"
Cao Wu said, "Because the avenues I created are not strong enough, I want to create an unprecedented top-level avenue, but the structure is too huge and cannot be completed overnight, nor can I complete it alone, so I thought of splitting the avenue I want to create, creating some parts of it first, and then giving these parts to others to understand and improve..."
Li Xiuchang was surprised. "You mean, Yuan Ze's imitation is just part of the avenue you want to create?"
Cao Wu nodded. "Strictly speaking, it is a branch of the avenue I want to create. There are many branches like this. I want to develop these branches and distribute them to others to practice.
"When the time is right and all the branches have been completed, I will create the avenue itself, and finally accommodate all the branches, forming a giant avenue that can shake Origin World!"
Li Xiuchang I really didn't expect that Cao Wu, who looks harmless to humans and animals, would have such great aspirations and ambitions!
Fang Dao, who has reached the Golden Immortal level, is actually just a branch of the avenue he built.
He has prepared countless avenue branches like Fangdao!
"Why do this?"
Li Xiuchang can't understand why Cultivation Level is only Cao Wu at the peak of virtual refining, so he has such thoughts and insights?
Normal Void Refinement Stage monks must think about cultivating as quickly as possible and improving their realm. Who would think about something so far away? Who has the guts to make such a long-term plan?
Cao Wu said seriously, "It's my turn to ask you."
Li Xiuchang laughed dumbly, "Okay, then you ask first."
"Isn't your true origin not rooted in Origin World? Where are the roots?"
Li Xiuchang I didn't expect that Cao Wu's vision was so vicious, that he could see many secrets in him just from a short contact.
"That's right, my avenue has indeed not taken root Origin World. As for where it takes root..."
Li Xiuchang was a little hesitant, Second Dantian The world is one of his most important secrets, but after hesitating for a moment, he still said it:
"My Equalizer Dao is rooted in an independent space. You can roughly understand that I carry the avenue myself."
"Sure enough..." Cao Wu thought thoughtfully, and after a moment took the initiative to answer Li Xiuchang's previous question:
"You ask me why I do this? In fact, I don't know. It seems to be my innate mission. This idea has been ingrained in me since the beginning of my practice. I want to create the strongest avenue in the world!
"If you say that I am ambitious and long for power, that is not the case. I am actually a person with low desires and a boring person. My only hobby in life is to create the avenue, perfect the avenue, and understand the avenue... I want to create the strongest avenue, not for myself.
"Even if it succeeds in the future, it doesn't matter whether I control that avenue. I just want to witness the birth of an amazing avenue, and I am willing to do my best for this."
Having said this, Cao Wu sighed and said, "This is probably the mission given to me by God. I am born with extremely strong understanding and affinity for the Dao. God has given me such a generous gift, and must also give me the same burden."
His words made Li Xiuchang's mind flash with lightning, as if he thought of something.
Born with an extremely powerful talent, Li Xiuchang has met one person before.
The general reincarnation and re-cultivation of powerful people generally have good talents, but it is difficult to reach this level.
Unless he is truly one of a million people who are blessed by nature, or he took the back door when he was reincarnated...
Li Xiuchang coughed and asked, "Fellow Daoist Cao, have you heard of Confucian Sage?"
