"Why are you laughing, Senior?"
"Your Dao does not lie in Human Dao. The Human Race already has Shennong, the second Co-Lord recognized by Human Dao. Do you still want to take his position?" Xuan Qing teased.
"Of course I do not want to compete with Uncle Shennong. I only want to do something for the Human Race. Especially when I see those clan members die, I cannot accept it."
As Hui Xi spoke, he lowered his head. He knew he was being fanciful. To reverse life and death required unimaginable means. Even his father had never done such a thing.
"Your original intention is good, but have you considered that life and death are rules of Primordial Heaven and Earth? If all living beings lived forever, Primordial Heaven and Earth would one day be unable to contain so many people. What would become of the world then?"
Hui Xi froze. He had never considered such things. Given the Human Race's rate of reproduction, the senior was indeed right. It might not take long before the Prehistoric Era could no longer contain the Human Race.
"Moreover, life and death have existed since before the world was born. Without life and death, how could the world have come into being? We can only comprehend the true meaning within life and death, not distort the rules."
Xuan Qing felt a wave of lingering fear. Fortunately, he had arrived in time. Had he come any later, this disciple would have been ruined.
"Since that is so, can Senior tell me where my Dao lies?" Hui Xi asked curiously.
Xuan Qing did not answer, merely smiled.
"Senior, I am willing to take you as my master. Would you be willing to teach me?"
Hui Xi understood that the senior had been waiting for him
