The sword seller, dressed in red, deserves applause for the prankster.

Upon hearing this, Chi Miao's expression turned serious. "Then what exactly is the flaw?"

Li You's strength is beyond question, and the power of the "Dao Origin Law" is evident to all.

There aren't many things that would make her regret it even after she became an immortal!

The Red Dust Sword Immortal shook his head and pointed out directly: "Because of the cultivation of the Dao Source Method, neither of you... nor that woman, truly possess your own Dao."

Chi Miao was taken aback: "Your own... path?"

Red Dust Sword Immortal: "That's right! You don't have your own Dao. Although you have a lot of Dao essence now, there are two obvious drawbacks."

"First, your singular Dao essence is too dependent on others. If you rely on the person who provides the Dao essence, and they do not make progress in this Dao, you will also find it difficult to make progress. You are easily put in a passive position."

"Secondly, no matter what Dao essence you use, you will not be able to unleash its full power."

These words are not difficult to understand, but it is clear that the Red Dust Sword Immortal is right.

Although the Dao Source Method can rely on the Mother Dao Seed to obtain the Dao essence of all those who were born from her, that power is ultimately not one's own enlightenment.

She can use it, but she can't use it too brilliantly or outstandingly, because she doesn't actually have that much insight; she's just all show and no substance.

Even so, she can still win by sheer numbers. In terms of utilizing the Dao, no one can rival her!

But... Chi Miao could also vaguely sense a sense of unease.

The Mortal Sword Immortal smiled: "You should be able to feel that unstable feeling yourself, right?"

Chi Miao pursed her lips and stared at him with a strange look.

The Mortal Sword Immortal smiled and said, "That's normal, because... a path can only produce one immortal."

"The power one wields after becoming an immortal differs depending on the path one chooses."

"The way that woman became an immortal was extremely strange. It was because one of her disciples died... She followed the path of her deceased disciple and thus achieved the status of an immortal."

"But I told you before, the Dao is about enlightenment. The path she took to become an immortal was almost entirely understood by her disciple. Her own enlightenment was not that profound."

"As a result, without her own path, after becoming an immortal... she missed out on the greater power that truly belonged to her. However, by the time she realized this, it was too late!"

Upon hearing this, Chi Miao was utterly shocked, her heart trembled uncontrollably, and her breathing became heavy.

One path can only produce one immortal.

In other words, once a celestial being appears on that path, none of the other practitioners can become celestial beings!

The depth of the Dao itself, and one's own understanding of the Dao, determine the power one controls after becoming an immortal.

This amount of information is simply too much!

She looked at the Red Dust Sword Immortal in surprise.

"How do you know so much?"

The Mortal Sword Immortal smiled and stroked his hair: "Mortal Sword Immortal, Mortal Sword Immortal... a sword immortal is also an immortal."

Chi Miao was suddenly struck by lightning and realized what had happened.

The mortal sword immortal before me is also a successfully ascended immortal belonging to the mortal path!

No wonder!

Her pupils dilated, and her mind became increasingly confused.

"No... Everyone says that becoming an immortal grants eternal life, and Li You is special, but what about you?!"

It is obvious that the Mortal Sword Immortal is not a living being.

Li You died because of the Yama Curse, a death method that was both unusual and overbearing.

The mortal sword immortal, having attained immortality and eternal life, how could he possibly die? Could it be due to some kind of curse?!

The Mortal Sword Immortal smiled: "Under normal circumstances, immortals can naturally live forever, but who can guarantee that if something unexpected happens?"

When he said "unexpected," he emphasized those two words.

It stirred up a storm in Chi Miao's heart.

Accident?

What kind of accident could make even immortals unable to escape it?

Is it possible that only one being can do this?

Heaven.

The Red Dust Sword Immortal discerned Chi Miao's thoughts through her emotions, and his eyes suddenly turned cold.

The other venerable ones around them all fell silent at that moment.

The Red Dust Sword Immortal didn't open his mouth; his voice entered Chi Miao's mind directly.

"Even though I'm asleep, I can still sense everything around me."

"I've heard quite a bit about the conversation between Venerable Qingmeng and that Pill King."

"There are some things you shouldn't know too much about, but there are some things you absolutely need to know."

"Heaven's Way is ruthless, attempting to seize all power and erase all those who defy it, while also... erasing human history. We call this... the Annihilation of the Way Incident."

"I deduced this based on what Dan Wang said."

"The era we lived in has been completely erased from your memories and records! Apart from those of us who were fortunate enough to escape this calamity by recording our heritage and consciousness in the Mirror of Rebirth, the rest of us probably left no trace whatsoever."

"But you also know that the Dao Seed exists, which means that... in the history you have memories of, someone once received the inherited memories, which then flowed out, but because the Heavenly Dao withdrew the Dao Essence Rules, you were unable to comprehend the Dao."

"And, there is some potentially very important news... In our time, there were no demons. I suspect... that the demons were a race created by the Heavenly Dao specifically to deal with humanity."

Chi Miao's eyes widened suddenly.

There are no demons?

The earliest history of mankind is that the demon race fed on humans and kept them as livestock.

That period is recorded as the Dark Ages.

Then the Celestial Compassionate Immortal appeared, ushering in a golden age.

From then on, humanity had the power to fight against the demons.

But in the era of the Red Dust Sword Immortal, there was no demon race!

Are the demons a race created by the Heavenly Dao specifically to deal with humanity?

This...this this this!

This hypothesis is terrifying and revolutionary!

What exactly is Heaven doing? Why is it targeting humanity so much?!

They actually went so far as to directly intervene, erasing history and changing the era! They even created a new race to fight against them?!

What did humans do to offend him?

Chi Miao pursed her lips.

He looked at the Mortal Sword Immortal with a shocked expression: "Is this melon guaranteed to be ripe?"

Mortal Sword Immortal: "?"

What kind of melon? What is a melon?

Chi Miao rephrased it: "You mean, are you sure this is true?"

The Red Dust Sword Immortal shook his head: "It's just a guess. The only thing I'm sure of is the Annihilation of the Dao, which wiped out everything in the world related to the Dao, and even the Celestial Court suffered heavy losses."

"The Celestial Court, which is..."

He pointed upwards.

It means the place where the ascended beings gather.

The Mortal Sword Immortal chuckled and said, "Speaking of which, the founding of the Celestial Court is inextricably linked to that woman."

Chi Miao: "Li You?"

Red Dust Sword Immortal: "Yes, it's her, she... sigh, I won't say anymore, if I talk about her again, we'll both be discovered by the Heavenly Dao."

"And I can sense that you have a similar aura to hers."

Upon hearing this, Chi Miao tensed up.
