The Orthodox Dao and the Outer Dao

Above the Long River of Time, in the Purple Firmament Palace of the Heaven Beyond Heaven.

Those Dao Proving One who transcended their own eras looked down upon the Long River of Time, watching this unique debate with great interest. Without actively intervening in the Long River of Time, the Heaven Beyond Heaven created by the Dao Ancestor were undoubtedly the best vantage point.

At least here, you don't have to worry about being targeted by some ill-intentioned enemies or adversaries, or being forced into the battlefield of Long River of Time.

Do you think they'll start fighting?

Steadily riding the sun, Xihe gently teased the Three-Legged Golden Crow on her shoulder.

"A fight is unlikely; neither side has the will to fight."

"After all, the Dao Ancestor set the tone from the beginning: this is just a 'discussion on the Dao'."

A deep voice came from the mouth of the Three-Legged Golden Crow, and its gaze lingered on Xihe for a long time.

"Tsk tsk tsk, that's no fun."

"Speaking of which, should I start calling you Great Unity now?"

With a rather disappointed pursed lip, Xihe, who always enjoyed watching the drama unfold, suddenly turned her head and asked.

Call me whatever you want, it makes no difference.

Just as Xihe and Great Unity were discussing and joking with each other.

On another island, the Turtle and Snake Island, the future Great Emperor Zhenwu was also watching this unique "discussion on the Dao."

Behind Zhenwu, a woman, also from the future, was bowing her head, completely oblivious to the debate. This woman wore a blue Celestial Maiden's Feather Robe.

Its skin was deathly pale, but its eyes were bloodshot, and a few fangs could be vaguely seen.

If you look more closely, you'll notice that the woman's fingernails are also unusually sharp.

"Hanmei, can you see that?"

"That Suirenshi also did not cultivate the Dao, yet he reached the Great Luo realm."

Startled by Zhenwu's words, Hanmei instinctively raised her head before shaking it and saying...

"No, his approach is different from mine."

"Although I haven't cultivated Daoism, it's because I lack a soul and cannot cultivate Primordial Spirit."

"My body is incorruptible and Vajra Indestructibility."

"My Yuan Qi originates directly from the earth, possessing the power to influence celestial phenomena and scorch the land for thousands of miles."

After a brief pause, the Hanmei's gaze gradually focused on Suirenshi.

"I am exceptionally gifted, born with the ability to transcend the Divine Gate and Heavenly Pass and possess perfect cultivation in both the essence and qi paths."

"But Suirenshi's physical body, Yuan Qi, and even soul were only slightly stronger than ordinary people, and even inferior to the Ten Witches of Spirit Mountain in this era." "His ability to perform so well was never solely due to his own strength."

What Hanmei said was the truth, and it was also the understanding of the vast majority of those Dao Proving One regarding Suirenshi.

This is an extremely unusual guy, the kind who becomes stronger when faced with stronger opponents.

In terms of individual strength alone, Suirenshi was insignificant; at best, he was only slightly stronger than the great shamans of his time.

As Dao Ancestor said before, Suirenshi couldn't even complete the most basic "Refining Essence into Qi" and couldn't prevent the loss of his primordial Yuan Qi and vitality. However, the real problem with Suirenshi was his use of external objects.

Whenever he had a suitable tool or Law Treasure at hand, Suirenshi could make the most of it, as if he were born with a natural talent for using such tools and Law Treasure.

It is analogous to the Dao Ancestor's [Lucid Sword Heart], except that Suirenshi's application and mastery range is wider and more exaggerated.

It's not that no Dao Proving One returned to that era, attempting to rewrite history by killing Suirenshi.

The closest Suirenshi came to success was when he resonated with heaven and earth, and then killed his opponent with lightning speed. To this day, that scene is still etched in the upper reaches of the Long River of Time, becoming a legendary moment that chills the hearts of countless Dao Proving One.

It was from that moment that the Dao Proving One realized the terror of Suirenshi; his definition of "external things" encompassed the entire universe. "That was a true Outer Dao, a cultivation method completely different from the Orthodox Dao advocated by the Dao Ancestor."

According to Hanmei, apart from its excessive reliance on external objects, Suirenshi's Outer Dao were almost flawless.

Unless one possesses the power to destroy the world and recreate it like Great Unity, no one can defeat Suirenshi, who is making a desperate, all-or-nothing gamble. South Sea, above Subduing Dragon Island.

Your idea is good, but the world is never short of good ideas.

"You want to bring the Great Xia's witch inkstones back to the times, even make them the mainstream in the future..."

"To be honest, I'm also very curious whether that kind of future actually exists."

Li Boyang paused noticeably at this point.

"But the problem now is that you need to change people's hearts, and the hearts of a group of people who have been the 'protagonists' for three thousand years."

"Whether it's getting them to willingly relinquish their 'protagonist' status, or regaining the pinnacle of this era, it's far more difficult than when you founded the Great Xia."

He burst into laughter without hesitation; Suirenshi's voice was filled with arrogance at that moment.

"Just because you can't do it, does that mean you shouldn't do it?"

"If I had had this mindset back then, the Great Xia Dynasty would never have been born!"

"Just as when you were born in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, did you foresee the future of the Mountain Folk, and that's why you decided to help them rise up?"

It must be admitted that Suirenshi's words were indeed very persuasive, instantly reminding Li Boyang of the day he was born in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

At that time, Li Boyang had no grand vision and never imagined that he would become the Dao Ancestor in the future.

He just didn't want everyone to go hungry anymore, and he just didn't want to live a lonely life of immortality.

It was with this simple wish that Li Boyang gradually changed the status of the Mountain Folk, until he became the undisputed protagonist of this era.

"I don't doubt your determination, I'm just curious about what you plan to do?"

After a moment, Li Boyang spoke again, asking with such curiosity.

"It's very simple. I believe in my children, I believe in those wise men who led their people out of all living beings."

"As long as they stop feeling lost, they will definitely be able to secure a place in the future!"

Taking a deep breath, Suirenshi knew that this "discussion on the Dao," Dao Ancestor, was about to officially begin.

If he cannot persuade the Dao Ancestor, then the Great Xia in the future may really become a laggard and be crushed by the wheels of history. The gods who were suppressed by Suirenshi three thousand years ago are a perfect example.

"The Great Dao you propagate, regardless of what the outside world calls it, whether it's the Heavenly Dao or the Dao of Immortals."

"The essence of it all is to acquire wisdom through learning, then use that wisdom to analyze the unknown, and finally apply it to oneself or others."

"But the ' Outer Dao ' I want to expound upon is completely different, even the exact opposite..."

"Those Outer Dao do not seek wisdom, immortality, transcendence, or change of the world; they only seek to survive!"
