Originally, when he heard the word "Confucian Sage", Cao Wu felt calm in his heart. However, after learning about his identity in his previous life, and then talking about meeting Confucian Sage, Cao Wu immediately became confused.
There was both expectation and some indescribable timidity in my heart.
But he was also puzzled, Li Xiuchang and Mystic Immortal, the road is so wide?
Can you even see Confucian Sage? Still every three to five? See you if you want?
Although it didn't feel like Li Xiuchang was just bragging, it was still hard for him not to doubt the authenticity of Li Xiuchang's words.
But when Yang Hao heard that he was going to see Confucian Sage, his eyes lit up. "Senior Brother Li, when are you going to see grandpa? I want to eat fish."
"Grandpa?" Cao Wu was a little confused.
"Yang Hao recognized Confucian Sage as his grandfather." Li Xiuchang explained.
"You still bring something like this?"
Cao Wu fell into deep thought again.
He was a little excited at first, but after Li Xiuchang increased his bets again and again, he was completely shaken.
He really wanted to have more contact with Yang Hao. As soon as they met, they seemed to have been friends for many years, and he couldn't help but want to get close.
He really wanted to meet Confucian Sage and see what kind of person his master was in his previous life.
He wants to figure out his identity and the origin of his obsession.
Although Li Xiuchang guessed that he was one of Twelve Sub-Sages, which one of them was he?
Why would he insist on creating a unique avenue in this life?
Li Xiuchang doesn't know these, only Confucian Sage can answer them.
Finally, Cao Wu made up his mind and said, "I want to see your Equalizer Dao origin before making a decision."
Of course Li Xiuchang has no objection. Since Cao Wu has said so, it basically means he agrees.
As long as the origin of Equalizer Dao is indeed what Li Xiuchang said, and there is no concealment or deception, then this matter will be settled.
Anyway, the main body is still with Shadow World. Even if Cao Wu agrees on the spot, Li Xiuchang cannot let him integrate the avenue into Equalizer Dao.
Li Xiuchang said, "Brother Cao, if you are ready, I can take you to see Confucian Sage now."
Cao Wu said, "Let me go and say goodbye to my fellow disciples first."
His departure this time is not only to see Confucian Sage, but also means that he will follow Li Xiuchang and completely leave Seeker Immortal Sect. When he leaves Azure Mist Realm, he really needs to say goodbye.
When the senior management of the Seeker Immortal Sect learned that Cao Wu was leaving, they felt like the sky was falling!
They regretted extremely that they should not have allowed Li Xiuchang and Cao Wu to come into contact.
This contact immediately abducted the person!
You must know that although Cao Wu is only Void Refinement Stage, I don't know how many talents have been cultivated for the Seeker Immortal Sect over the years.
Moreover, his Void Refinement Stage Cultivation Level is also the result of his deliberate lag. If he wants to improve Cultivation Level, it is also easy for Cao Wu.
But Cao Wu wants to leave, and Seeker Immortal Sect cannot stop him.
"I will come back from time to time to check. If there are any good seeds, you can keep them for me." Cao Wu comforted.
There is never too much talent. If there are suitable talents, Cao Wu can also recommend them to Li Xiuchang and develop Equalizer Dao together.
"Let's go."
Li Xiuchang called Cao Wu to stand next to him, with Cao Wu on his left and Yang Hao on his right, and then gently shook the bell in his hand.
The sound of the bell was crisp, and the sound waves vibrated, causing ripples in the space around them.
Everything around them became blurry like a mirror, and when the space returned to calm, they had arrived at Seventh Layer World.
The second time he came to visit Confucian Sage, Li Xiuchang was already familiar with it. This time with two disciples of Confucian Sage, he was even more confident. He came to the yard of Confucian Sage's residence, pointed at the fish in the pond, and asked Cao Wu and Yang Hao which one they wanted to eat.
Cao Wu was a little cautious, and he felt uneasy when he thought about meeting Confucian Sage.
When Li Xiuchang and Yang Hao were choosing, a cough came from behind them, and Confucian Sage was standing behind them at some point.
The three of them turned their heads together, and Cao Wu's eyes met Confucian Sage's.
For a moment, both of them were fixed there. After a long time, Confucian Sage sighed and looked back.
Cao Wu felt much more at peace in his heart at this moment. After seeing the legendary character Confucian Sage, he felt inexplicably at ease and completely relaxed.
"Have you told him?" Confucian Sage looked at Li Xiuchang and asked.
Li Xiuchang nodded. "Senior, you won't blame me for being nosy, right?"
Confucian Sage shook his head. "It doesn't matter, I have actually gone to the lower world to see him many times over the years, but..."
Cao Wu's eyes widened and he had no idea when Confucian Sage had visited him.
Li Xiuchang is not surprised. With Confucian Sage's method, he will definitely be able to find the reincarnation of his disciple.
Yang Hao is so young, he may not be able to find it immediately, but Cao Wu has lived for thousands of years, Confucian Sage cannot be found yet.
Just like Cao Wu was nervous when he was about to meet Confucian Sage, Confucian Sage was equally nervous about getting to know his disciple.
So I have met Yang Hao several times, but he still has not revealed the relationship between the two of them in their previous life, nor has he helped Yang Hao recover the memory of his previous life.
He was afraid that after learning everything about his previous life, his disciples would blame him and not forgive him. He himself felt ashamed and was afraid of facing his disciples.
It is definitely impossible to say that the original Twelve Sub-Sages had no complaints against Confucian Sage.
This can be seen from the fact that Yang Hao was illiterate in this life. Before he died in his previous life, he was really afraid of Confucian Path.
But now it is equivalent to Li Xiuchang forcibly helping Confucian Sage take this step.
Confucian Sage also knows that he will have to face this day sooner or later.
"Come in and sit down."
Confucian Sage called several people into the house and took their seats, and at the same time remotely called Shi Tian to come over and start cooking.
After Li Xiuchang and the three of them sat down, Confucian Sage made a pot of tea and poured it for them.
Li Xiuchang took a sip and silently put the remaining tea into Storage Bag and put it away.
Great tea! You can drink it often in the future!
Confucian Sage looked at Cao Wu, then at Yang Hao, and said, "You should already know roughly what happened back then."
Cao Wu nodded, Yang Hao was still a little confused. He only felt that Confucian Sage was friendly, but he never knew that the two were master and apprentice in their previous life.
Confucian Sage said, "Back then, Demon Suppressing Realm's demonic energy was rioting, and Primordial Demonic Power had a tendency to unite into one. I had to take action to stop it, but at that time I overestimated my ability and underestimated the terror of Primordial Demonic Power, which led to errors in judgment.
"Although judging from the results, my legacy did absorb a large amount of Primordial Demonic Power and prevented the great aggregation of Primordial Demonic Power, but my death directly caused the collapse of Confucian Path, resulting in the destruction of countless Confucian cultivator Cultivation Level, and even implicated the death of twelve of you."
Confucian Sage looked at Yang Hao: "You were my eldest disciple in the previous life, known as Gentleman Sword. Your talent is not top-notch, but you are the most diligent. You are the earliest to get started, but Cultivation Level is the slowest to improve. However, you are a late bloomer, and you will catch up later through hard work.
"You have your own ideas, merging swordsmanship with Confucian Path, and creating your own Gentleman Sword branch of Confucian Path. You are also generous to others, and all the juniors respect you. You are not my most outstanding disciple, but you are the one I trust the most!"
Yang Hao's eyes widened and he turned his head to look at Li Xiuchang, seemingly seeking confirmation from Li Xiuchang.
Li Xiuchang just nodded slightly and confirmed what Confucian Sage said.
Yang Hao Unexpectedly, it turned out that my "grandpa" was his master in the previous life. No wonder he felt so cordial when they first met.
Li Xiuchang also roughly understands why Yang Hao's reincarnation in this life will directly maximize his cultivation talent. It turns out that he suffered a disadvantage in his previous life and his talent was mediocre, and he wants to make up for the shortcomings in this life.
Confucian Sage looked at Cao Wu again and said with a smile, "You were my youngest disciple in the previous life, and you were also the most talented among all my disciples, and the most considerate."
Cao Wu pondered for a moment and asked, "Why do I want to create the strongest avenue in this life? Where does this obsession come from?"
Confucian Sage couldn't help but reached out and touched his head. This move made Cao Wu stiffen up. He was a thousand years old anyway, and even Heart of a Newborn was still a little uncomfortable with such an intimate gesture.
However, he did not avoid it. His natural closeness to Confucian Sage made him not resist in his heart.
Confucian Sage sighed, "This has actually been my obsession all along. You always wanted to help me share my burden in my previous life. I didn't expect that you would still remember it after reincarnation, and it would even become your obsession."
Li Xiuchang remembered that he had seen Confucian Sage return to the Twelve Monuments through fortune telling.
At that time, Confucian Sage decided to give up Confucian Path. The reason was that Confucian Path felt that it was "impossible" and he wanted to start a new one to have an unparalleled impact.
What is the realm of this "supreme"? Li Xiuchang doesn't know either.
But it can be inferred that this is definitely a higher level than Confucian Sage at its peak.
Therefore, Confucian Sage's obsession is to create a road to the sky to help him achieve supremacy.
Confucian Path was created by him with this purpose, but in the end he found that Confucian Path's potential was limited and not enough to impact the supreme, so he chose to give up.
And Cao Wu, as the most caring disciple of Confucian Sage in his previous life, always wanted to help Confucian Sage fulfill this wish.
So after reincarnation, he inherited this obsession and became more enlightened. He was born for enlightenment in this life.
Cao Wu asked again, "Senior, what was my name in my previous life?"
Yang Hao also raised his head expectantly.
But Confucian Sage shook his head. "The past has become a cloud, there is no need to pursue it. I am sending you back to reincarnation, not to make you my disciples again. Now I no longer practice Confucian Path, and you are no longer Confucian Sage, and you are not the same people you used to be.
"The relationship between master and disciple lasts for one lifetime. You have died once, and I have died once, and it is time to end. I just hope that you can live well in this life, and living well is enough."
Li Xiuchang applauded. "Senior is open-minded and you are absolutely right. I was a master and apprentice in my previous life, but I may not be a master and apprentice in this life. Yang Hao, please call me grandpa."
"Grandpa." Yang Hao said obediently.
"Um..." Li Xiuchang looked at Cao Wu again, "How about you also recognize a grandpa?"
Confucian Sage glared at Li Xiuchang: "There's no need to be related. Even if you don't become a master or apprentice in this life, you still have to repay the debts from your previous life. If anything happens to them, I won't stand idly by."
Li Xiuchang said yes, but knew in his heart that the debt must be paid off eventually, and he would have to move around more often to consolidate the relationship.
"By the way, senior Confucian Sage, I have something to ask you." Li Xiuchang suddenly remembered something.
"Tell me." Confucian Sage said as he took the peeled fairy fruit from Yang Hao.
Now that his two beloved disciples in his previous life were following Li Xiuchang, of course he tried his best to satisfy Li Xiuchang's ordinary requirements.
Confucian Sage secretly decided to hide the reincarnations of his other three apprentices so that they would not be discovered by Li Xiuchang.
Otherwise, Li Xiuchang will deceive him into becoming his younger brother, and he still won't be able to respond to Li Xiuchang's requests?
Li Xiuchang said, "I fused the body and shadow of a ghost before, but then the soul began to disintegrate. What happened?"
Li Xiuchang only highlights the key points and deliberately leaves out many details.
For example, how did he let the ghost's body and shadow be in the same world? Did the ghost die after the soul collapsed?
He didn't say any of this because it involved the Second Dantian world.
Li Xiuchang also doesn't know whether Confucian Sage knows about the existence of Second Dantian's world, but if Confucian Sage doesn't take the initiative to ask, there is no need for him to take the initiative to tell.
Confucian Sage took a deep look at Li Xiuchang and then said, "When Yin and Yang are out of balance, they will naturally collapse and cannot survive forever."
"An imbalance of yin and yang?" Li Xiuchang was puzzled. "An imbalance of yin and yang won't cause the soul to collapse, right? There are many people in the world with an imbalance of yin and yang."
Let's not talk about anything else, let's talk about the Yin soul. As a Yin soul, it belongs to Yin, so how can Yin and Yang be balanced?
Confucian Sage put the peeled fruit of Yang Hao into his mouth, and then said slowly, "Everything in this world is divided into yin and yang, but yin does not grow alone, and yang does not grow alone. There has never been any creature that is pure yin or pure yang and can still exist.
"And any living creature, whether it is a human, a monster, or a ghost, will constantly change the distribution of yin and yang in their body according to their state and living environment.
"In this world, the sun is yang and the moon is yin; life is yang and death is yin; men are yang and women are yin; day is yang and night is yin... Everything in the world has yin and yang.
"So you are right, the world is full of people with an imbalance of yin and yang. But have you ever thought about why these people with imbalanced yin and yang still exist?"
These words really stopped Li Xiuchang from asking. He had never thought about this question before.
How can a person achieve a balance of yin and yang?
For a man, his yang energy must be stronger when he is alive. Maybe he must die to balance yin and yang?
What about women? Can yin and yang be balanced while alive? But if you die and turn into a ghost, wouldn't it cause an imbalance of yin and yang?
And according to what Confucian Sage said, the environment will also affect the proportion of yin and yang. For the same person, the yang energy is heavier during the day, and the yang energy is also heavier when the sun shines. The yin and yang are constantly changing. How can this be balanced?
But having said that, if yin and yang are not balanced, how do people exist?
Yin and Yang are like water and fire, which does not mean that they are completely incompatible. Tai Chi Diagram is the harmony of Yin and Yang.
But the prerequisite for the harmony of yin and yang is balance.
When Yang is strong and Yin is weak, or when Yin is strong and Yang is weak, how can they be harmonious? Only the strong side will swallow up the weak side.
But people in this world are indeed living well.
"Please give me some advice, senior. "Li Xiuchang couldn't figure it out, so he didn't bury his head in thinking and asked Confucian Sage honestly.
Confucian Sage said, "Not only living creatures, but also everything in the world. If we expand a little further, the entire world must achieve a balance of yin and yang if it wants to exist, but you also know that it is difficult to balance yin and yang.
"When this world was created, the rules were gradually perfected, but after the rules of Yin and Yang were integrated into the world, something went wrong.
"So the person who created this world thought of a clever way, and that's how Shadow World came about."
