They are the women standing behind me.

Besides, how can he explain this?

No matter who you say it to, it feels like a confession.

Ye Yunmei, Gu Yirou and Mei Xueshuang really couldn't understand why Lu Guangze asked these questions, but the way people in the Tribulation Realm spoke and did things really had no logic or order at all.

At least they did not think that they could understand or guess the thoughts and intentions of such important figures.

"The silver lining is that I'm not in an extremely conceited state right now. Otherwise, even if I were to say that they're not worthy of me, or that it would be a miracle for their ancestors to be interested in me, it would be very likely."

Qin Xingyuan is an optimistic person who finds happiness in his heart.

Don't panic.

No need to lie.

This is just a small scene that is not worth mentioning at all.

So Qin Xingyuan calmly asked, "I wonder why Senior Lu is asking such a personal question?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yirou, Ye Yunmei, Mei Xueshuang, and the elder who taught Qin Xingyuan how to make elixirs all changed their expressions.

If a big shot doesn't want to know, he won't ask, but since he asks, he has to answer obediently.

This is the rule!

But not only did Qin Xingyuan not answer, he actually... actually had the audacity to question the important figure?!

He really doesn't know how to write the word "fear"!

When Gu Yirou and the others immediately looked at Lu Guangze, they found that he didn't seem to take it to heart. Instead, he said meaningfully, "Just asking."

"Uh, Senior Lu, actually, I am... a very, very shy person."

Qin Xingyuan said a little embarrassedly: "There are some things I am too embarrassed to say."

Anyway, he didn't believe that Gu Yirou, Ye Yunmei and Mei Xueshuang would come to ask him this question in private.

Besides, for this kind of thing, either don’t talk about it, or if you do talk about it, you have to praise it together.

You can be arrogant, but you can't be stupid, like a silly bird.

Even if he doesn't want to talk about it, why is he still hesitating?

Of course, I have to use the invincible tactic of changing the subject.

Qin Xingyuan said decisively: "Senior Lu, I have something to ask you."

Gu Yirou and others all have different thoughts.

If you ask a big shot for advice and he/she really answers and gives you guidance, you will be indebted to him/her for a great favor.

This is called the grace of guidance.

"Go ahead."

Lu Guangze spoke.

"What is Tao?"

Qin Xingyuan was just asking casually, so we could talk about something else.

Of course, according to his experience of reading online novels, what is Tao has always been a huge problem worthy of deep thought and study by all cultivators.

Hey, let me ask something difficult.

Hearing this, Lu Guangze narrowed his eyes, looked Qin Xingyuan up and down, and actually laughed out loud, "I've never seen such a thing in my life. How dare a mere cultivator in the early stage of the Golden Core Realm dare to think about the Dao? But everyone's view of the Dao is different after all, so the Dao is not fixed. I am the Dao, the mountain is the Dao, the water is the Dao, he is the Dao, you are the Dao. In short, your Dao is not my Dao."

Then he asked, "What do you think Tao is?"

"Senior Lu, I don't know, and I don't need to know."

"No need to...know?"

Lu Guangze frowned, and Gu Yirou and the others recalled what Qin Xingyuan had said before. Was he going to say something shocking and outrageous?!

"I don't cultivate for the sake of the Dao, but for myself." Qin Xingyuan said with a smile: "So what the Dao is is not important to me."

"If so, what kind of immortal are you seeking, and what path are you taking?" Lu Guangze asked with a smile.

"Senior Lu, why do I insist on asking a certain immortal to follow a certain path?"

Qin Xingyuan asked back curiously.

"My dear Qin, you are being very arrogant." Lu Guangze said calmly, "Whether it's immortality or Taoism, they are not worth seeking."

"Senior Lu, what keeps me going is not the immortal I seek, nor the path I take, but myself!"

"is it?"

Lu Guangze narrowed his eyes and asked, "Then where do you think the Tao is?"

“Even if the Tao exists, it is in my heart.”

Qin Xingyuan raised his hand and poked his chest with his index finger without hesitation. "If I have no heart, where can the Tao be? Since the Tao is in the heart, then understanding the heart is also understanding the Tao. Why should I seek and think about what the Tao is?"

Gu Yirou, Ye Yunmei and Mei Xueshuang felt quite embarrassed when they heard this.

And Qin Xingyuan really dared to say it.

However, Gu Yirou felt that the fearless look of Qin Xingyuan and the eloquent speech of Lu Guangze, a great figure in the Tribulation Realm, were more and more charming the more she looked at him - at least she would not dare to be as bold as him.

Junior Brother Qin is indeed not comparable to Shen Haoqiong, Xu Yuanqing and others in terms of courage and bravery.

If they faced Lu Guangze, they would probably be scared like quails shivering in the cold wind.

So the more she looked, the more...

She was also a little concerned about the question Lu Guangze had asked before. Somehow, she wanted to find a suitable opportunity to ask it in detail.

“That’s an interesting statement.”

Lu Guangze simply smiled faintly, "My dear Qin, I will not argue with you. You are not me, and I am not you. Your opinion does not have to be the same as mine, nor do you need others to agree with it. Ultimately, it is you who is in the Tao, not the Tao in you. No one can escape the word Tao. You can't, I can't, and no one from ancient times to the present can."

A big shot of his level would not say that Qin Xingyuan was wrong.

Because people may see different things when they look at the same thing.

However, Lu Guangze was quite surprised. He was a little suspicious: "Could it be that this person has a comprehension far beyond others?"

The word "enlightenment" determines too many things in the world of immortal cultivation.

Create techniques, skills, etc.

I learn everything very quickly.

Even a single realization can break free from the shackles and raise the upper limit of one's own strength.

This is the main reason why we need to travel and gain experience to hone our spiritual heart.

It is about seeing and experiencing things along the way, gaining insights from them, constantly relying on your own understanding to break your own shackles, and constantly improving the upper limit of your own strength, so that you can become stronger and more powerful.

From ancient times to the present, which of those famous figures in the world has not traveled all over the world of immortality?

But they are not bored and wandering around aimlessly. Instead, they are looking for sights and experiences, hoping to gain valuable insights. However, their understanding is really terrifying. What they see is different from others, and they can easily gain insights.

If you live long enough, you can improve almost everything—strength, lifespan, realm, experience, and so on.

But one's own understanding will basically not change.

Just like on Earth, the longer you live, the more you will know and understand, but it is impossible for your IQ to increase slowly over time, and it is impossible for you to become a genius with high IQ just by living long enough.

"If only I had come to the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect a hundred years earlier."

Lu Guangze felt even more regretful and sad. If he could take such a person away and personally train and teach him, it would not only be fun, but he would also gain a great sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.

Unfortunately, I was one step too late and missed the opportunity.

Lu Guangze said, "My dear Qin, you are suited to the path of independent cultivation. The sect is a cage and a burden to you."

"Senior Lu, it doesn't matter what path you take, whether it's the path of a casual cultivator or the path of a sect cultivator. How far I can go and how much I can achieve depends on me. My future is created by me and has nothing to do with anything else. No one can walk my path for me!"

Qin Xingyuan smiled and said, "And I'm very glad that I joined the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect..."

"Ha ha!"

Lu Guangze suddenly burst into laughter, but no one knew what he was laughing at.

Then he turned around inexplicably. He came and went just as quickly.

This could only make Qin Xingyuan sigh that this kind of state, a super old monster who had lived for who knows how many years, was really beyond the understanding of him who had only lived for such a short time.

"Junior Brother Qin, I see you're completely unafraid of Senior Lu." Ye Yunmei asked in a somewhat complicated tone, "Are you...really not afraid of him at all?"

"Senior Sister Ye, I respect Senior Lu, but there is no need to be afraid of him."

Qin Xingyuan said seriously, "I think no matter how great a big shot is, he won't appreciate a junior who is terrified at the sight of him. Besides, why should I be afraid of Senior Lu? If he wants to kill me, no matter how much I fear him, he won't spare my life, and..."

He stood straight, seemingly thinking clearly, and laughed heartily, "Even if I'm afraid of this and that, what's the point? Disasters won't show me mercy just because I'm afraid of them, important figures won't appreciate me just because I'm afraid of them, and the heavenly thunder tribulation won't send me to immortality just because I'm afraid of it... Since it doesn't benefit me in any way, then I..."

He paused briefly, then said with high spirits and a heroic spirit, "Why should I be afraid?"

Chapter 42? I'll take you, Xingwei, to find him!

……

At this moment, in the Sword Sect.

The main hall of the sect.

Chen Taishang and the head of the sect were fighting in the scene. The elders of the inner and outer sects gathered together. No one had a good look on their face. The atmosphere was solemn and dignified.

If there were other disciples present, they would be completely suffocated in such an atmosphere.

"How to do?"

An inner sect elder asked in despair, "Even Chang Yun is no match for Qin Xingyuan. Who else can the sect send to reach the early stage of the Golden Core Realm?"

"That's not the problem now!"

Zhan Jingzhong's expression was quite solemn. "Qin Xingyuan is truly too terrifying. I'm sure everyone present here can see this clearly. Once this boy grows up..."

The hidden meaning is self-evident.

Everyone, you look at me and I look at you.

Someone couldn't help but say, "No matter how good Qin Xingyuan is, he's still one of the most outstanding young men of our human race. Now that the demon race and our human race are competing against each other, if we kill him, the demons will definitely applaud. Even the powerful elders of the demon race will desperately protect their promising young men. But we are killing our own remarkable young men. Aren't we even worse than the demons? This is even more shameful!"

"Yes, and if Qin Xingyuan really died, wouldn't the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect go crazy? Wouldn't they declare an all-out war with our sect? Sect Master, given the current situation, even if Qin Xingyuan wasn't killed by our sect, everyone would think it was our sect that did it, and our sect would be unable to defend itself."

Someone else said, "Even with the demon race around, as long as Qin Xingyuan truly demonstrates his extraordinary power and truly possesses the potential to become an unstoppable force, the outside world will definitely accept his arrogance and conceit. Because most people really hope that our human race will produce powerful individuals who can resist the rebellion head-on and suppress the demon race's top demon cultivators. Otherwise, if something really goes wrong, who can withstand it?"

In fact, it can be seen from this that because there are demon races that compete with humans, the attitude of human forces towards peerless geniuses is that they will not think of completely killing them unless it is really necessary.

Even though these people from the Sword Sect really disliked and hated the young Qin Xingyuan, they just wanted to make him fall badly, and few of them really wanted to kill him.

Because there are too many things involved - apart from anything else, can the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect just let it go after killing Qin Xingyuan?

"Our sect is targeting him so much, and we have such a deep hatred for him. Once he grows up, how can he not seek revenge? I'm afraid he will become even more ruthless and return the favor a hundredfold! What kind of person is Qin Xingyuan? He becomes arrogant and domineering with just a little strength, a petty and narrow-minded person. Do you really think that when he reaches a higher realm and becomes powerful, he will be able to be magnanimous and let it go?"

Sect Leader Zhan Jingzhong spoke in a righteous voice, "Since we all know this person will become a disaster in the future, why don't we try every possible means to eliminate him now? This is foolish and deliberately leaves trouble for future generations. We have even repeatedly humiliated our sect. Now we are almost a laughing stock in the extreme southern region... Who can leave with a proud face?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Taishang remained silent for a moment with a gloomy expression on his face. He finally made the final decision and said, "We'll discuss this matter later."

Zhan Jingzhong seemed to understand what this meant. His face suddenly changed and he looked at Chen Taishang in disbelief.

Chen Taishang said slowly, "Our sect is really out of people at the early Jindan stage. Are we really going to send someone at the middle Jindan stage? The younger generation and realm-level juniors are no match for Qin Xingyuan. They are suppressed by him alone. If anyone is to blame, it's our sect's fault that the younger generation and realm-level juniors are not up to par. If our disciples can feel ashamed of this, they will work harder to improve themselves from now on..."

"Master Chen, I think these disciples are difficult to control, especially the geniuses at a lower level, who are all young and full of vigor..."

Someone worriedly said, "If you love someone, you can also love his dog. If you hate someone, you can also hate his dog. It has come to this. Not only do my disciples regard Qin Xingyuan as an enemy, but the disciples of our two sects will also dislike each other from now on. I really miscalculated. I didn't expect Qin Xingyuan to be so extraordinary..."

Chen Taishang said nothing more and disappeared.

Zhan Jingzhong clenched his fists, his face gloomy, but there was nothing he could do. Chen Taishang had already spoken. Although he was the head of the sect, no matter which Taishang he offended, he would never be able to be the head of the sect with great power again.

……

Sword Sect, the ninth floor of the Sword Tower.

Xu Xingwei, who was so beautiful that it was breathtaking, came here. Seeing the Zhentian Immortal Sword wrapped in ten chains, as if it was completely sealed and suppressed here, her beautiful eyes flickered with complex light.

It wants to leave the sect...
