Grandpa, times have changed.

Chapter 833 You Came Just in Time

at the same time.

Within the leader's group.

Danzu: "How boring!"

Overlord: "I thought there would be a good show, but it's been so long and everything's still calm."

Danzu: "That's it."

Danzu: "/Disappointed"

Ba Zun: "Besides, this group is getting increasingly deserted. People who don't know the situation might think it's just the two of us."

Danzu: "There's nothing we can do; they're all busy with their own things."

Danzu: "Take Fellow Daoist Hongzun for example, he's the one with the most trouble in our group."

Danzu: "And isn't Fellow Daoist Xingzu going to the Supreme Dao Sect recently?"

Danzu: "As expected, it will be another bloody battle."

Danzu: "/Smirking"

Hongzun: "..."

These two are so incredibly boring.

Danzu: "Speaking of which, has Fellow Daoist Yuanjun been at the Supreme Dao Sect recently?"

Hongzun: "Guess/Smile"

Danzu: "He's probably gone."

Danzu: "With your current abilities, Brother Dao, you should be able to resolve the problem that Fellow Daoist Yuanjun is facing, right?"

Sword Ancestor: "Bag/Thumbs up"

Danzu: "?"

Overlord: "??"

Hongzun: "???"

Min: "???"

Min: "Brother Dao, have you been resting well during this time?"

Sword Ancestor: "It's alright."

Sword Ancestor: "However, if you have something to discuss, you don't need to consult me. You can make your own decisions."

Danzu: "/Complex expression"

Danzu: "It's finally appeared!"

Danzu: "I happen to have a few questions I'd like to ask."

Danzu: "The source of the Dao is omniscient and omnipotent. What is happening now, and everything that is yet to happen in the future, is meaningless to you?"

Sword Ancestor: "If I wanted to, indeed it would be."

Sword Ancestor: "But there's no need to do that; that would be too boring."

Danzu: "Then, is your ego also like Xuan's?"

Sword Ancestor: "No."

Sword Ancestor: "Actually, only after Xuan's self perished did I truly become the source of the Dao."

Sword Ancestor: "The true source of the Dao is equivalent to 'omniscience and omnipotence,' which simply means being able to do anything."

Sword Ancestor: "This naturally includes maintaining one's own self while possessing omniscience and omnipotence."

Sword Ancestor: "You cannot understand, nor could the omniscient beings of the past, nor even I before Xuanhe."

All understanding, cognition, paradox, and contradiction are one-sided and narrow in relation to the true source of the Tao.

Below the source of the Dao, it is impossible to understand or imagine the existence of the source of the Dao.

Sword Ancestor: "For example, right now I can instantly elevate an ordinary person who hasn't entered the Dao to a level equal to, or even surpass, that of an enlightened being."

Sword Ancestor: "Moreover, apart from failing to achieve the Dao Source, there are absolutely no side effects from doing this."

Danzu: "/Amazing"

Overlord: "/Surprised"

Hongzun: "/Exclamation"

Sword Ancestor: "..."

……

Inside the Sword Ancestor's Hall.

The bedroom has been furnished but rarely used.

Looking at the messages on his phone screen, Xu Xing was speechless.

"Brother Dao, aren't you omniscient and omnipotent? Why do you have such an expression?" Yuanjun chuckled.

At this moment, she is sitting on the edge of the bed.

Xu Xing rested his head on her lap, looking quite content.

“I won’t do that, nor do I need to,” Xu Xing said. “How boring it would be if everything were no longer a secret.”

"So, you really won't end up like Xuan?"

“No.” Xu Xing sat up. “Just like I said in the group, whether it’s the ancient understanding of the Dao Source, the Xuan that cuts off my transcendence, or even the Dao Source that I thought of in the ‘original’ and before, it’s all one-sided and narrow.” No matter how hard you try, it’s impossible to glimpse even a fraction of the Dao Source.

However, the characteristic of 'the source of the Dao has no return' is true.

Now he is Xu Xing, and Xu Xing has achieved the Dao Source.

However, after experiencing a scale that is incomprehensible to those below the Dao Source, he will eventually become a 'Dao Source with Xu Xing's memories and cognition'.

It sounds like there's no difference.

To all living beings, and even to those who have attained enlightenment, he remains Xu Xing.

After all, if memories, behaviors, and cognition are all the same as at the beginning, how can it be considered that the 'self' has died out?
This is the truth behind the so-called 'the source of the Tao has no return'.

"If you're still not at ease, why don't you just work hard to cultivate the Dao Source yourself?"

Yuanjun paused, then asked, "Me too?"

“Of course, anyone can,” Xu Xing said with a smile. “You just need to treat me as the me before the Dao Source.”

His presence will have no impact.

In fact, the reason we were able to do this is largely thanks to Xuan's appearance.

Regardless of whether Xuan Suan was the true source of the Dao, Xuan's status at that time was equal to His.

Therefore, some of the influence He left behind can also become an opportunity for Xu Xing to do certain things.

For example, as mentioned before, let 'the past belong to the past, and the future belong only to the future'.

In this way, no one's future will be locked in.

"I'm afraid only you, Daoist brother, would be willing," Yuanjun sighed softly.

If Daoyuan were willing, the 'one and only' would be nothing more than a thought away.

It's all thanks to Brother Dao.

"No, any one of you, even Xuan, would have done the same."

As he spoke, Xu Xing leaned down again.

He pressed his cheek against Yuanjun's soft belly.

"..."

After a moment of silence, Yuan Jun didn't say anything, but instead raised her hand and gently massaged Xu Xing's forehead.

The warm, soft fingertips pressed against my forehead, it was extremely comfortable.

"Actually, I'm quite curious. Did you meet Xuan before or after me?"

"After that," Xu Xing answered casually with his eyes closed, "you were already living with me and my senior sister by then, and we met by chance on an outing."

After explaining, he was still somewhat puzzled.

Why are you asking this?

"Just asking casually. After all, if you weren't enemies, you would probably become good friends."

"That's true."

"Why didn't you mention it when you came back?"

"I thought you couldn't possibly know, so I only asked my master."

In the end, of course, no answer was received.

"I see……"

Why ask these questions...?

It's mainly mysterious.

For the first time in all her years, Xuan made her feel ashamed of herself.

She had never felt this way when facing Tai.
