"Confucian Sage?"
Cao Wu frowned, Confucian Sage Of course he knew, but what was Li Xiuchang doing to mention Confucian Sage at this time?
He opened his mouth, suddenly thought of something, and said seriously, "Fellow Daoist Li, it's my turn to ask a question!"
After a brief contact with Li Xiuchang, he has almost figured out Cao Wu's character because he is so pure.
Li Xiuchang could only say helplessly, "Then you ask first."
Cao Wu was thinking distressedly, suddenly not knowing what to ask.
It's not that he's not curious about Li Xiuchang, it's that he doesn't understand Li Xiuchang.
Li Xiuchang came here specifically for Cao Wu, so he had a clear goal and knew what he wanted to ask.
But Cao Wu had just met Li Xiuchang and didn't know anything. After asking two questions, he didn't know where to start.
Li Xiuchang was considerate and reminded, "I may know a little bit about why you have a naturally strong understanding and affinity with the Dao."
Since Cao Wu doesn't know what to ask, let him guide you...
Cao Wu thought, "Is it because of my legacy in my previous life?"
He had already considered this issue and suspected that he might not have been an ordinary person in his previous life.
Generally speaking, the reincarnation of a powerful person does have a higher starting point than ordinary people, but it is not as exaggerated as him.
So he guessed that he either had Cultivation Level reached heaven in his previous life, or he had great merits and was favored by heaven during his reincarnation.
The so-called reincarnation of a powerful person, what exactly can Cultivation Level be regarded as a powerful person?
There is actually no standard for this. For ordinary monks, Nascent Soul and Spirit Transformation are both powerful, and there may indeed be some legacy from previous lives after reincarnation.
The higher the Cultivation Level, the more talented people will be after reincarnation.
But even if Grand Luo Golden Immortal is reincarnated, it is impossible for his talent to be as powerful as Yang Hao and Cao Wu.
Of course, for those at a higher level, such as the reincarnation of Confucian Sage, the talent may be determined by himself.
In addition to Cultivation Level, merit is also a major factor affecting reincarnation.
For someone like Li Xiuchang who is riding a mushroom cloud of merit, it is estimated that all talents will be fully maxed out when reincarnated and rebuilt, which should be more exaggerated than Yang Hao and Cao Wu combined.
Li Xiuchang said, "It's not just the legacy of your previous life. If I guess correctly, your current talent is the result of the superposition of multiple factors."
Cao Wu's curiosity was obviously aroused. He saw that Li Xiuchang seemed to really know something, and he hurriedly asked, "How do you say it?"
Li Xiuchang did not rush to answer, but asked, "Is this the next question from Fellow Daoist Cao?"
"Forget it." Cao Wu said without thinking.
Anyway, he didn't know what to ask. What Li Xiuchang had to say was what he was interested in.
Li Xiuchang said, "The reason why you have such a powerful talent in this life is, firstly, because you were Cultivation Level powerful in your previous life, so you should be in the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm; secondly, because you have profound merits and have been favored by heaven in reincarnation; thirdly, you have the help of noble people."
Li Xiuchang guessed that Cao Wu was most likely, like Yang Hao, one of the five disciples Confucian Sage sent to reincarnation that year.
Cultivation Level itself is powerful and must have extremely profound merits.
The disciple of Confucian Sage is called Twelve Sub-Sages. Demon Suppressing Realm must have done a lot of good deeds and accumulated virtues, especially before he died, he suppressed the demon corpse of Confucian Sage with his body, which was a great meritorious deed.
With such a good foundation, and Confucian Sage taking action, he can directly reach the full level of understanding after reincarnation.
Moreover, Cao Wu and Yang Hao both brought some of their past life obsessions into this life.
Yang Hao is simply illiterate, while Cao Wu is obsessed with creating a unique avenue.
Yang Hao That's purely Confucianism. It left a psychological shadow in his previous life. I don't know what this child Cao Wu went through in his previous life. He has always had such an obsession.
Cao Wu didn't expect that he not only had the two major elements of reincarnation, but also had the help of a noble person. He recalled that Li Xiuchang had mentioned Confucian Sage before, and guessed. "Is the noble person mentioned by fellow Daoist Confucian Sage? What is my relationship with this senior?"
Li Xiuchang organized his words and said, "All of this starts from a place called Demon Suppressing Realm..."
Li Xiuchang told the story of how Confucian Path collapsed and Twelve Sub-Sages monument suppressed the demon corpse. Cao Wu was fascinated by it.
He didn't know why, but as soon as Li Xiuchang talked about those things, he couldn't help but become involved in them, as if he was personally there, and his emotions fluctuated with the development of the story.
After Li Xiuchang finished speaking, Cao Wu realized that his eyes were wet at some point.
"What happened next?" he asked impatiently.
When Li Xiuchang saw Cao Wu's appearance, he knew that his guess was correct. Cao Wu was indeed one of Confucian Sage's disciples!
It seems that although these disciples Confucian Sage entered reincarnation at the same time, they were not reincarnated at the same time.
So there is a lot of age difference between Cao Wu and Yang Hao.
"Later...Confucian Sage reincarnated and returned to his hometown, collected the true souls of his disciples, and reshaped their residual souls. However, too long passed, and in the end, he only managed to gather the residual souls of five people and sent them back to reincarnation..."
Li Xiuchang Having said this, Cao Wu already understood.
"So I'm one of those five?"
"I guess that's right."
Cao Wu was stunned for a long time, digesting this information.
All the things in his past life were like smoke in the past, he couldn't remember them all, and they shouldn't have affected him in the first place.
But when Li Xiuchang talked about it, he couldn't control his emotions, which made him understand that this life could not be completely decoupled from his previous life.
Moreover, his talent comes from his previous life, and his obsession also comes from his previous life.
Li Xiuchang didn't give him time to think, and said, "Now it's my turn to ask questions. I want to know what other avenues Brother Cao has created besides imitating them?"
Cao Wu came back to his senses and said, "All the avenues I created are named Fangdao. Their core is the same, they are all imitations, but the imitations are different."
This answer was beyond Li Xiuchang's expectations.
Cao Wu explained, "What I plan to do is to imitate all the ways in the world... at least most of Dao of Nature, and finally unify all the imitation ways to create a great avenue that contains all Dao of Nature."
"What a spirit!" Li Xiuchang praised.
Cao Wu smiled bitterly, "This is just my imagination. I know that this is almost impossible to achieve. No matter how strong my understanding is, it will take countless time. This may be a task that can be completed in hundreds of reincarnations.
"But my Void Refinement Stage lifespan is not enough to support me until that time. It may not be long before I will be forced to upgrade Cultivation Level and be forced to choose an avenue to take root in Origin World. So I said that even if one day I complete my idea and create a peerless avenue, I may not be the one who controls that avenue.
"Over the years, I have been looking for geniuses like Yuan Ze to cooperate with me and pass on my insights to them. I hope to use their strength to open up the avenue and help me save some time."
Li Xiuchang asked, "What Dao of Nature are you currently imitating?"
Cao Wu shook his head. "Actually, there is none. For so long, I have been imitating the non-existent Time Great Dao. I split Time Great Dao into multiple parts, including the imitation of time reversal practiced by Yuan Ze, and the imitation of time acceleration, imitation of time stop, imitation of time deceleration, etc. that I gave to others to practice.
"Of course, this does not actually involve the use of time, but uses other means to achieve similar effects to Time Great Dao. I hope that one day in the future, these imitation Time Great Dao can be combined to achieve the same effect as Time Great Dao, to fill the gap in Origin World that does not have Time Great Dao.
"And Time Great Dao will also become the pillar of the avenue I will eventually build!"
So it is still in the early stages of starting a business... Li Xiuchang looked thoughtful, he needed someone to help him develop Equalizer Dao, and Cao Wu is undoubtedly the best choice, and will become his right-hand man like Yang Hao.
It's even more useful than Yang Hao. Yang Hao is still too young, but Cao Wu has thousands of years of experience!
Not to mention that Cao Wu still has this relationship with Confucian Sage. Li Xiuchang must take him under his command.
Li Xiuchang smiled and said, "In this way, I find that Brother Cao and I are really like-minded. In fact, I also have a dream to create an invincible avenue that accommodates everything!"
Cao Wu agreed, "I just heard Daoyou Li introduce your Equalizer Dao, and I have this feeling. It is indeed similar to my Dao."
Li Xiuchang waved his hand and said, "What are the similarities? They are exactly the same! We have the same goal, the same vision, and we are working hard for the same thing! Brother Cao and I really met each other late. If we had known each other earlier, and you and I joined hands, maybe the path has been achieved!"
Cao Wu seemed a little overwhelmed by Li Xiuchang's sudden familiarity, and said nonchalantly, "How early can we get to know each other earlier?"
Li Xiuchang recalled his cultivation experience and said, "Fifteen years ago."
After all, he has only been practicing for so long, and it is not appropriate to talk about it any further.
Cao Wu is speechless. For him who has lived for a thousand years, more than ten years is not enough.
Li Xiuchang didn't care what he thought, he held Cao Wu's hand and said sincerely, "Brother Cao, I formally invite you to join my team!"
"Invite me?" Cao Wu blinked.
"That's right!" Li Xiuchang analyzed in a sincere tone, "Think about it, since we have the same goal, why don't we cooperate? It is no exaggeration to say that the partners you have found before, such as Yuan Ze and others, combined are not as good as me. The help I can bring you is definitely beyond your imagination!"
"But..."
"No buts! Didn't you say you don't care who controls that avenue? Then help me build the avenue together. At least for now, my Equalizer Dao has greater potential and more hope."
Cao Wu's face was filled with disbelief.
After all, he has already trained a Yuan Ze. Yuan Ze became a golden immortal just by turning back time and imitating the Tao. Li Xiuchang is just Mystic Immortal.
Why do you dare to say that Equalizer Dao has more potential than his imitation?
Seeing that Cao Wu didn't believe it, Li Xiuchang knew that he had to show him something real.
It's a pity that the one who came this time is not the real body, otherwise I would take him directly to the Second Dantian world, let him see the origin of Equalizer Dao, and shock him severely.
Now he can only use some means, Li Xiuchang stretched out a finger, and lines appeared between his fingers. He was trying to manifest his Equalizer Dao, surrounded by countless lines, covering the surrounding space like raindrops.
Cao Wu raised his head and looked around. There was no need for Li Xiuchang to explain it. With his understanding and affinity with the Dao, he could see a lot with just one glance.
"This is Confucian Path, Charm Great Dao, Defense Avenue, Ghost Path, Buddha Road, Five Elements Dao..."
He saw the shadows of avenues in Equalizer Dao. These avenues looked unchanged, but they became part of Equalizer Dao.
Cao Wu couldn't help but be moved. "How on earth did you do it?"
Although Li Xiuchang also mentioned Equalizer Dao's strong inclusiveness when introducing Equalizer Dao, Cao Wu didn't take it too seriously.
After all, in its view, who can be better than his imitator in terms of inclusiveness?
In the future, he plans to imitate all avenues and then integrate them.
But now that he saw the tip of the iceberg of Li Xiuchang Equalizer Dao, he was shocked. He didn't expect that Equalizer Dao could integrate so well with other avenues!
Li Xiuchang said proudly, "I told you a long time ago that Equalizer Dao is very tolerant and powerful enough to integrate with any avenue to strengthen itself, so don't compare your potential with Equalizer Dao. No matter how great your imitation potential is, if you integrate it into my Equalizer Dao, you will still become a part of Equalizer Dao. Which one do you think has greater potential?"
"After joining my team, you can continue to study your imitation, just integrate all your imitation into Equalizer Dao, nothing else has changed."
Cao Wu showed hesitation on his face, this time he was really moved.
If what Li Xiuchang said is not an exaggeration, then the fusion of the two avenues will indeed bring him closer to his goal.
And it will greatly speed up his progress in completing his goals!
After all, there are countless ways in the world, and it would take him an unknown amount of time to understand and imitate them. But with the help of Equalizer Dao, many ways can be directly integrated into them, without him having to bother to imitate them at all.
But it can only be his imitation that blends into Equalizer Dao of Li Xiuchang. After all, Equalizer Dao is more inclusive.
In this way, Fangdao lost his independence and became part of Equalizer Dao. From then on, he was equivalent to being tied to Li Xiuchang.
This was also the reason for his hesitation.
Seeing that Cao Wu was still hesitating, Li Xiuchang decided to play the emotional card.
He said, "This time I brought an old friend of yours here."
Cao Wu said blankly, "Is it someone I knew in my previous life?"
Li Xiuchang nodded. "It's not just a simple acquaintance. In his previous life, he was Confucian Sage's top disciple, that is, your senior brother."
With that said, Li Xiuchang released the Yang Hao contained in Beast Taming Bag.
When Cao Wu and Yang Hao met, they looked at each other and froze in place, forgetting to look away.
A strange feeling of familiarity grew in the hearts of the two of them. It was obviously the first time they met, but they felt that the other person was very kind.
Cao Wu finds it ridiculous. Even though Yang Hao is just a child, he feels that the other person is very reliable and gives him a big brother-like feeling.
Yang Hao was a little confused and wanted to touch the head of the man in front of him who was thousands of years older than him.
With just one glance, Cao Wu knew that Li Xiuchang was not lying. Yang Hao was definitely someone he was very close to and respected in his previous life.
Li Xiuchang struck while the iron was hot. "As long as you agree to join my team, you two brothers can work together in the future, and I can take you to meet Confucian Sage every now and then."
"See Confucian Sage?"
Cao Wu eyes widened, unable to calm down.
