Li Xingkong ultimately chose to follow the path of Dao Integration.
Having searched for too long without finding anything, Li Xingkong could only conclude that his familiarity with the entire universe was still insufficient.
There is only one way to gain a deeper understanding of this universe.
Like the bosses behind the three major forces, they seek a rule to achieve Dao Integration.
Without the system's help, Li Xingkong doesn't have many paths to choose from.
After much deliberation, Li Xingkong finally focused his attention on the rule of sharpness.
If one's attack is sharp enough, could it pierce through the universe and reveal a glimpse beyond it?
Having already cultivated to the Golden Core Li Xingkong has an infinite lifespan. He is determined that even if it takes a long time and he has to start from scratch, he will eventually be able to accomplish it.
The cultivation and scientific research of the Dao Integration are actually closer, because its main focus is on analyzing the rules, utilizing the rules, and ultimately mastering the rules. The entire process of the Dao Integration can only be described as proceeding step by step, cautiously and methodically. If you take it one step at a time, you will eventually be able to find traces of the Dao Integration.
Li Xingkong for nearly ten thousand years before he finally felt a sense of unity with the Dao.
If he takes another step forward, he can embark on the path to Dao Integration.
However, just as Li Xingkong was about to take this final step, a voice suddenly came from beside him.
"Hahahaha, as expected, only rules like these are worthy of becoming my divine weapon!"
The next moment, Li Xingkong suddenly realized that the sharp rules of the entire universe seemed to have been directly pulled away. Li Xingkong tried to reach out and grab them, but he couldn't grasp anything.
Following the sound, Li Xingkong saw a woman reach out and grasp, as if the sharp rules of the entire universe were being drawn into her hand by an invisible force.
Li Xingkong also considered reaching out to leave some, but faced with such allure, his actions seemed somewhat weak and ineffective.
Soon, a pair of short blades took shape in her hands, their entire bodies silver-white, like solidified lightning.
Li Xingkong felt it looked familiar, but he didn't know why. Perhaps it was because he had become somewhat familiar with these sharp rules.
After the pair of weapons were formed, the rules of heaven and earth returned to normal, but Li Xingkong knew that his path to Dao Integration was no longer viable.
That divine weapon has reached the pinnacle of sharpness, and no one else can wrest power from its grasp.
At least while it was in this woman's hands, Li Xingkong couldn't imagine anyone being able to wrest power from her.
She's so mysterious, and so powerful.
Li Xingkong had never seen such a strong person before.
Although he felt he had wasted some time, he didn't dare to say a word in front of such a person.
Isn't that how the world is? The strong take all, and the weak lose everything.
There's not much to say. If anyone's to blame, it's Li Xingkong too late.
All his hard work had come to naught. To others would have driven them crazy, but Li Xingkong simply packed up and prepared to continue his research on a different path.
Through countless Samsara and repetitions, Li Xingkong's temperament had long been worn down to a state of utter indifference, making him as detached as a human machine.
It was just one failure; he'd seen it all before.
He had experienced countless cycles of Samsara where there was absolutely no progress and only a waste of time.
He never considered himself to be the destined one, but merely an ordinary cultivator.
At worst, we can just start over.
After another millennium of work, Li Xingkong has now chosen a simple element as the target of his research.
The inspiration came from what he saw in the Mechanical Scourge —their research on the element iron—so Li Xingkong chose water, an essential element for life.
However, just as he was about to begin the fusion, a familiar voice rang out once again.
"I'm so thirsty, I'll make a water bottle."
The voice was so familiar that Li Xingkong couldn't possibly not recognize it.
Isn't that still that woman's voice?
Following the sound, the person quickly produced a water jug.
Li Xingkong was speechless; it seemed this guy was deliberately trying to pick a fight with him.
The kettle had clearly condensed all the rules about water in the universe, and it once again blocked Li Xingkong Dao Integration.
"Senior! You..."
Li Xingkong couldn't hold back any longer and called out.
"Oh, what's wrong? Are you thirsty too?"
The woman grinned strangely, tilted the kettle forward, and a stream of water, like a swimming dragon, flowed to Li Xingkong's side.
Li Xingkong reached out and caught the water in his palm, unsure of what to say for a moment.
One shouldn't hit a smiling face, so he held back.
The main thing was behind the woman; he saw the pair of short blades he had practiced with last time still gleaming behind her.
This girl is so arrogant, is there no one in the entire universe who can stop her? Is there no justice? Is there no law?
Li Xingkong was internally ranting, but he only dared to utter a few words in his mind.
"Not bad, not bad at all. You're very polite, young man. See you next time!"
While patting the kettle in her hand, the woman laughed and disappeared.
Goodbye? Never again!
Li Xingkong gritted his teeth. He felt that the problem might be the location he had chosen. This time, he would change locations and choose a different path!
Several thousand years have passed, and Li Xingkong's face has become as pale as it could possibly be.
"Oh, it's you again! Come and see if my necklace looks good!"
The woman showed off the necklace around her neck and looked at Li Xingkong with a smile.
Li Xingkong understood that this woman, whom he had only met a few times, had come to seek his amusement.
There's no other reason. Once it was a coincidence, twice it was luck, but this is the third time. The necklace in this guy's hand is the wood attribute rule that he has been painstakingly studying for thousands of years.
"Senior, do we know each other?"
Li Xingkong finally couldn't hold back any longer.
"Hmm, of course we know each other! We've met several times already, how can we not know each other?"
The woman answered with a smile.
"I mean, before this, I don't know where I offended you, senior, to deserve such ridicule?"
Li Xingkong racked his brains; he Samsara so many times, yet he had never seen her before.
"Hey, guess?"
The woman didn't say anything, but stuck out her tongue and winked mischievously.
Li Xingkong couldn't take it anymore; this guy was here to humiliate him!
This is intolerable! No matter how much difference there is between us, I can't keep tolerating this any longer!
Li Xingkong unleashed his Magic Power, enveloping the space around them.
"You've mocked me several times, and although I know I'm no match for you, even an ant has its pride. Please, senior, teach me a move!"
"Oh? Is that so? Then you can practice with me."
