Changsheng: I, Cao, can see the prompt

Chapter 660 Whether or not
"It doesn't matter who it is. What do you think?" Cao Wei chuckled, then looked somewhere meaningfully, stood up casually, took a step forward, and left this world.

After he left, Meng Ji still sat there quietly without moving.

After a while, He said slowly, "This junior finally managed to intimidate you with the help of Master Black Mountain. Otherwise, I would not have had the opportunity to refine myself into a consciousness bead and get rid of the control of the mysterious soul. This freedom is not easy to come by!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a sigh of vicissitudes suddenly came from behind him: "The World of Consciousness Pearl is still in my hand."

Then, Xuanji, with white hair and beard, hunched over and slowly emerged. He patted Mengji's shoulder and said slowly, "Those old guys Zhurong can't save you, so why bother struggling in vain?"

Hearing this, Meng Ji said calmly: "Senior, even though I have comprehended the way of reality and illusion, I have not been able to glimpse the true appearance of the virtual world. Are you still unwilling to give up? What is in it?"

"Maybe nothing!" Xuan Ji said with a smile.

"Then why are you so scheming that you even let Xuanhun possess the incarnation of Sakyamuni and created the Mahayana monk Poxun who can swallow the underworld?" Meng Ji frowned slightly.

Upon hearing this, Xuanji sat down cross-legged with a calm expression, and said slowly: "Spokes form a hub, and when there is nothing, the car is useful; clay is molded into utensils, and when there is nothing, the utensils are useful; windows are chiseled to make rooms, and when there is nothing, the rooms are useful; so what exists is beneficial, and what does not exist is useful. The world exists, and the virtual world does not exist. The two are originally one and the same, and cannot be separated for a moment. I naturally want to find out the truth!"

At this point, He shook his head slightly and said with a smile, "Perhaps the virtual world is the manifestation of that person's inner vision and mind. I would like to ask other Taoist friends, like me, if you want to see what is in it? Do you know why Master and the five fellow disciples always keep Tun Ming with them?"

The true forms of the five holy ancestors of the Great Wilderness Divine Court, such as Ju Mang and Zhu Rong, are either human faces and bird bodies, or human faces and beast bodies. Although there are differences, they are all able to bait snakes and step on dragons.

And that dragon snake was transformed from Swallowing the Darkness.

"Why?" Meng Ji frowned slightly.

Hearing this, Xuanji said calmly, "There's no need to show such an expression. The reason behind this is simple, not as complicated as you think. The reason why the five of you, the master, often return to silence and nirvana is to use life and death to understand the way of existence and non-existence. However, they have the fate of the great Dao of the Profound Spirit Realm in their bodies, and their lives and deaths are the same. It seems to be a good thing, but it has also become an eternal bondage, making it impossible for them to take the last step!"

"Do you want me to persuade them to voluntarily cancel the Great Dao Fate Contract?" Meng Ji chuckled disapprovingly.

"Look, you are judging others by your own mean standards! If I want to deal with the five of them, how difficult will it be?" Xuan Ji shook her head slightly.

At this point, He said slowly: "The five colors make people blind, the five sounds make people deaf, and the five flavors make people's mouths numb. They exist and do not exist, so we should give up the former and take the latter! I have never targeted anyone in the world. Everything is just going with the flow and taking advantage of the situation."

"What about the ancient immortal energy?" Meng Ji sneered.

Tens of thousands of years ago, Zhu Ying threw the ancient immortal energy she had seized into the Linghuan Realm, and it was later obtained by Xuan Ji!
The price the other party paid was to give up part of the origin of the Linglong Realm in order to nourish the Linghuan Realm.

This move was tantamount to damaging the vital interests of Donghua and other venerables, so over the years, several Xuanhun bodies of Xuanji were killed, and they stood idly by.

Hearing this, Xuanji sighed softly: "In this matter, I was too obsessed, and the five flames were all strong, and I fell into the devil's barrier. This is also retribution! Fortunately, Senior Sansheng helped me escape from this hell and restore my spirit!"

"Did you really fall into the devil's barrier at that time?" Meng Ji asked.

“How can it be false? Donghua and the others secretly led me to absorb the vitality of all living beings, causing me to be burdened with karma and sins, and pollute the ancient immortal energy! These youngsters are not simple. They took advantage of this to plan and make that person revive and return early. Little did they know that that person is omnipresent, ruthless and desireless, and they still try to figure it out with common sense? How ridiculous!” Xuan Ji sneered.

At this point, He said in a deep voice: "In the past Immortal Killing War, from beginning to end, only Sansheng took action, and that person did not make any moves. Isn't this clear enough?"

"What kind of existence is that person?" Meng Ji asked puzzled.

“The innate gods and demons are the concrete incarnations of the Great Dao. Now they have transformed into semi-immortal bodies, just like the Great Dao evolving into the Heavenly Dao. They just haven’t been able to take the last step yet.” Xuan Ji said in a deep voice.

"Then why are you so bold as to rebel against your superiors?" Meng Ji asked in surprise.

“As the saying goes, Heaven and Earth are unkind and treat all things as straw dogs. In His eyes, what is the difference between us and ants? On the contrary, He should thank us for helping Him make up His mind! Now He is in the state of harmony with the Tao. This is what we sentient beings pray for. There are only three lives in all the realms. Perhaps there is someone who does not want to see this.” Xuan Ji said slowly.

Having said this, he glanced at Cao Yuanchu who was lying motionless not far away.

"There really is someone behind the scenes pushing for the situation to return to Wuji. What are you old guys planning?" Meng Ji asked puzzled.

Xuanji smiled and said, "You youngsters are always so impatient. The sky was created, the earth was created, the clear and the turbid were distinguished, from nothing to something, and from something to nothing, but what we are arguing about is whether the so-called 'immortal' exists or not! This great debate has continued from ancient times to today."

"What is there and what is not there in your eyes?" Meng Ji asked in a deep voice.

"In short, it is the difference between heaven and man!" Xuan Ji said slowly.

"The way of heaven is to take from the surplus and make up for the deficiency, the way of man is to take from the deficiency and serve the surplus. Among these two, which path do you follow?" Meng Ji sighed lightly.

"Of course it's the latter! Originally, when the five realms coexisted, the struggle for this Dao was not so fierce. However, Long Bo or someone else used the Lingdai Realm as a sacrifice, breaking the balance and coexistence of the five realms, thus opening the prelude to 'returning to the Wuji' and becoming an immortal in this world! Zhu Ying is different. Just like his father, he worships the way of heaven and nature. Therefore, the Dao he cultivates is to mediate the creation and create something out of nothing. I will have a battle with him in the future." Xuan Ji said slowly.

Speaking of this, he twirled his long beard and said with a smile: "However, those who are good at fighting will attack others instead of being attacked by others. I abandoned the mysterious soul clone of Suanni and entered the Yunhuan Dream Realm. Although I failed to find the trace of Long Bo, I also gained some means from it. I led the Linghuan Realm to destruction first and gained the upper hand!" Xuanji said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Meng Ji frowned and said, "Your Excellency's actions have helped someone hidden in the dark. That person should not have transformed into a half-immortal at that time, and should have seven emotions and six desires. Why did he stand by and watch?"

"You are talking about Him!" Xuan Ji said calmly.

At this point, He narrowed his eyes slightly and sneered, "You ignorant boy, do you really think that the Immortal Killing Game was started by Zhu Ying?"

"Has it been opened since the beginning of heaven and earth?" Meng Ji asked.

"Of course, it's just as He wished! This storm has swept the universe and no one can escape it. Linglong relies on the advantage of his true body, the Linglong Pagoda of Heaven and Earth, and seems to be able to stay out of it. But in fact, he has already fallen into the situation of 'having the benefit but not the use'. He is in the game and cannot escape!" Xuanji smiled, stroking his beard.

"No wonder Linglong would help Shiheng!" Meng Ji sighed.

“Linglong is trying to test my abilities. Although Shiheng has obtained an immortal body, his foundation is too shallow! Although I cannot defeat him, I have all kinds of ways to avoid him!” Xuanji said slowly.

Upon hearing this, Meng Ji complained in his heart, "He is as panic-stricken as a dog that has lost its home, but this old guy is proud of it?"

On the surface, He clapped his hands and smiled, "Good tricks, Senior!"

"Don't make up stories about me in your heart. I have noticed you since before you became Zhu Rong's disciple. I can say that I have seen you grow up. As soon as you move your butt, I know how many hairs you have!" Xuan Ji sneered.

"Otherwise, how could this junior be taken advantage of by senior Xuanhun? Could you be more polite, senior?" Meng Ji said helplessly.

"No matter how crude I am, what can you do to me?" Xuanji said indifferently. "Of course I can't do anything about it!" Mengji said.

The old fellow in front of me is really powerful. Not only is his Taoism all-encompassing, but his mind is as deep as the abyss. Who knows what other tricks he has?
However, since my master and others have been able to deal with him until now, it must be that he is not as simple as it seems on the surface!
As for Zhu Ying, although she seems to be at the end of her strength, she is still able to suppress all forces at the moment, which also shows her strength.

"Why should you be unwilling? Think about it, have I ever regarded you as pigs and dogs?" Xuan Ji said slowly.

At this point, He smiled and said, "Besides, I have helped you achieve immortality, so you won't lose out!"

As soon as these words fell, Cao Yuanchu, who had been standing still, suddenly stepped forward, stepped here, and appeared behind Xuan Ji.

However, Xuanji seemed to have expected this, and stroked his beard and smiled, "Are you going to stop pretending? In your eyes, what is the way of heaven and what is the way of man?"

Hearing this, Cao Wei, who had returned, shook his head slightly: "The way of heaven is far, it is beyond reach, it is also the way of man!"

However, upon hearing this, Xuanji sighed softly: "I would rather see you not follow the footsteps of your predecessors and forge your own path! But you are still young and have not experienced much. All your insights come from the present, so it is reasonable for you to follow the human way. I can't force you too much!"

"All living things in the world are inseparable from their nature and emotions. If you want to drive them and make them do what they want, you should bend the rites and music, uphold benevolence and righteousness, so as to correct their appearance and comfort their hearts, make them love knowledge and compete for profit, and inspire greed, which cannot be stopped!" Cao Wei said slowly.

Speaking of this, he smiled and said, "I have heard from the seniors about the difference between heaven and man. I am here uninvited, please forgive me!"

"I will not mind if I come here as you wish!" Xuan Ji said slowly.

Hearing this, Cao Wei bowed slightly, and then asked: "Senior, which of your previous words is true or false?"

"So what if it's true, so what if it's false?" Xuan Ji said slowly.

After saying this, He stroked His beard with a smile, then disappeared.

"These old guys always like to talk nonsense and play tricks." Meng Ji shook his head slightly.

"In my eyes, you are also an old guy." Cao Wei chuckled.

Upon hearing this, Meng Ji quickly said, "I'm speaking for you."

"No need for that. If you really want to do it, then take action." Cao Wei said.

"I can't even protect myself now, and I'm counting on you to take the Consciousness Pearl back from Xuan Ji." Meng Ji said.

"If the Great Wilderness Divine Court really wants to protect you, my master and several seniors will certainly not stand idly by. Why do you need to count on a junior like me? Isn't that wishful thinking?" Cao Wei said slowly.

"One more way means one more hope. My master, uncles and uncles still have to control Senior Linglong, which is not easy at all. They may not have time to do anything!" Meng Ji said with a smile.

"That's your business. I can only add icing on the cake, but I won't help you in times of need." Cao Wei said slowly.

"What you said really makes me sad!" Meng Ji said with a smile.

Hearing this, Cao Wei sighed softly: "Give my son's three souls back!"

"This is not something I can decide. You just heard it. The Consciousness Pearl is still in the hands of that old guy Xuanji. Even my life is in his hands!" Meng Ji shook his head slightly.

At this point, He smiled and said, "But if I regain my freedom, I will return your son Cao Zheng's body and give you a son who is in the Tribulation Crossing Stage."

"It's up to you. Under the influence of your theory of reality and illusion, my son has no hope of becoming a great master. He will eventually die!" Cao Wei said casually.

"You really don't care?" Meng Ji asked.

"So what if it's true, so what if it's false?" Cao Wei said in a light tone.

As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared and left Meng Ji's eternal kingdom.

Upon hearing this, the smile on Meng Ji's face, who was standing there helplessly, suddenly froze, as if he had eaten a fly, unable to swallow it or spit it out.

Finally, He said bitterly: "The old one is like this, and the young one is like this too. I owe you this! When I perfect this eternal kingdom, I will definitely turn the virtual into the real, and replace the heart of heaven with my own!"

……

……

After returning, Cao Wei walked out of the quiet room calmly.

I came to a pavilion outside the cave, and sat alone under the setting sun, drinking wine and gazing silently into the distance. There were thousands of dark mountains and red clouds in the sky.

Cao Wei sipped slowly, thinking to himself, "If what Xuan Ji said is true, then tens of millions of years ago, Long Bo or someone else took the lead in 'returning to the infinite', thus starting this immortal game, and my original body is now in the process of merging with the Dao. If it succeeds, will it be the heaven and earth itself?"

Thinking of this, he frowned and said, "Could it be that the so-called immortality is to create a world of one's own, or to merge with the world?"

While thinking, Cao Wei looked down at the world below and noticed the fog of life and death derived from the inner scene of Uttarakuru.

After a long time, he sighed quietly and said, "It turns out that my original master has already made the answer clear, even though he said nothing. The Scripture of the Longevity Dao Fruit is, in the final analysis, about the inner and outer cultivation of cultivators like us."

"The outside is the condensation of essence, energy and spirit, which is what one has learned throughout one's life. Learning increases day by day, but practicing the Dao decreases day by day. One should decrease and decrease again, until one reaches inaction. Inaction leads to loss."

"The inner reflection of the mind is tangible, but the human heart is a collection of seven emotions and six desires. For one's own selfish interests, all kinds of rules are made, which actually breaks the rules of heaven and earth! If you want to create something out of nothing, you should know that there is nothing that cannot be achieved without doing, and there are things that cannot be achieved with doing!"

Thinking of this, Cao Wei chuckled to himself and spilled the wine in the cup, which turned into a light drizzle.

Then he turned and walked out of the pavilion, walking in the drizzle.

With every step he took, a mysterious, fiery flower of the other shore would light up behind him, swaying in the wind and rain.
