The Dao dies but I live on, the spiritual energy dries up but I remain evergreen

Chapter 935: Avenue Competition



Chapter 935: Avenue Competition

Li Xundao's killing momentum was like a sudden downpour after a thunderclap. It came suddenly and with such force that passers-by had to take shelter under trees and marvel at the power of God. It was truly magnificent. It was beyond human power. Li Changxiao was like an inconspicuous green lotus in a remote pond, swaying from side to side but not bowing its head. God was tyrannical, intimidating and oppressing the world. What did he have to do with it?

Li Xundao was already full of admiration, and said with a smile: "You are better than me!" This statement restored his previous demeanor, sincere and honest, without any falsehood. From this punch and palm, he knew that Li Changxiao was very advanced. When he was at the peak of the fusion, he definitely did not have such ability.

Li Changxiao was in a trance. He had grown up and had a deep cultivation, but he had not experienced many battles. He often thought that his strength was inferior to that of his peers. Although his many skills were mysterious, other cultivators of the same realm were all geniuses. How could he not have a way to deal with them?

Although he won many battles, he was not impatient at all. He often thought that he was able to win because of the exhaustion of spiritual energy. But Li Xundao's praise made him come back to his senses. It was as if the person who had gone through so much hardship and effort to enter the Yuanying realm in the past could now compete with the most advanced and talented people in the world.

But I don't know whether I should be honored or sad. Li Changxiao shook his head: "There is no need to compete for superiority in Taoism. You are not better than me, and I am not better than you." Practicing Taoism is for longevity, and practicing martial arts is for freedom. Li Changxiao also liked to compete and win. If he won more and lost less, he would inevitably be greedy for the feeling of victory, and then embark on the path of constantly competing and winning.

Unfortunately, he lost more than he won. After losing so much, he no longer liked to fight. At first, I felt very disappointed and uncomfortable. I often thought, he is also a human being, and so am I. Am I really so bad that I can’t compare to others in every aspect?

Self-reflection afterwards: Where did I lose?

As a result, he fell into a situation of repeated losses and self-destruction. If he could not escape, he would be depressed and self-pitying. He lived in depression and self-contempt. He muddled through life and was muddle-headed. Only Li Changxiao was open-minded by nature. Although he had experienced many losses: he lost to Lingtian, he also lost to Panlong... too many. He lost big things and small things. Sometimes he even didn't get the upper hand in verbal quarrels. After finally getting the upper hand, he was beaten up instead, and in the end he still lost.

After losing a lot, he found that if he didn't worry about winning or losing, and didn't care about his appearance, he suddenly felt... not that great. From then on, he jumped out of the difficult situation and suddenly saw the light.

After that, every time he fought with others, he admitted defeat, fled, and uttered harsh words, it became more natural and smoother. Sometimes, when he was defeated, he did not feel ashamed, but proud. After practicing magic for a while, he was excited to fight with others again. Sometimes, he annoyed his opponent, and he cursed, saying that the thief was so weak, but why was he so annoying.

The great way is to fight. But it is just "fighting", not fighting for victory, not fighting to win or lose. Most people in the world are trapped by the word "losing", and they are ashamed of losing, and they only want to win.

Li Changxiao, on the other hand, said, "As long as you have a life to live, I don't care whether you win or lose." Although this principle is very simple, few people can really do it. Because among the cultivators in this world, there are very few who can keep losing like him. There are even fewer who can keep losing and yet escape.

Li Xundao has never lost a game, so how could he not care about winning or losing? At this moment, facing the issue of winning or losing, a simple sentence reflects the difference in their attitudes towards winning or losing. There is no distinction between good and bad, but Li Changxiao is more casual and open-minded.

Li Xundao retracted his fist, and Li Changxiao retracted his palm. Li Xundao was not unusual, but Li Changxiao slowed down his breathing for a few breaths, and mist came out of his head. Although there was no winner in this contest, Li Changxiao was more exhausted.

Li Xundao was already mostly delighted, and said, "Great, great, it's worth it that I waited for you for so long." Li Chang laughed and said, "Did you know I would come?" Li Xundao said, "I don't know, I don't know. But I have a vague intuition."

Li Xundao stroked his beard and smiled. He said, "The last time you came to see me, I felt that you were slightly different." He immediately told the story of what happened since Li Changxiao came to Wanxian Peak last time and they parted unhappily.

It turned out that after Li Changxiao escaped from Wanxian Peak, Li Xundao knew that he was ill. He could not help but re-examine his past actions and was immediately shocked and broke into a cold sweat.

Although he intended to save the world, everything he did was heading for a dead end. At first glance, the world seemed to be stable, but in fact, it was lurking with crises. It was just waiting for a sudden outbreak in the future, which would surely be a terrible disaster.

Li Xundao wanted to save himself, but found it was too late. The erosion of the longevity disease was both visible and invisible. He originally summoned the "Extreme Evil Sect" to destroy Liuyu Tianxia. But after Li Changxiao's reminder, the plan was cancelled.

Li Xundao thought of the art of alchemy. Even though he knew it was hopeless, he couldn't just sit there and wait for death. He had a deep understanding of alchemy, and he might be able to make an elixir to cure the disease. Even if it was just to suppress it, that would be fine.

As a result, the extremely evil sect members stopped attacking Liu Yu Tian Xia and turned to searching for rare herbs and elixirs from all over the world. Li Xundao studied elixirs for curing diseases day and night in order to refine a magic elixir.

The place where the herbs were hidden, apart from the remote mountains and wilderness, also had the "remains of the sect", the herbal gardens left behind. In the following years, the Ji Evil Sect often visited the sect ruins. Indeed, they found many magical herbs.

But I also discovered one thing. Many of the sects' ruins have traces of being turned over by people. Every sect's Zhigao code and the essence of its magic have been carefully read by people. Sometimes people even wrote down notes and insights.

The Ji Evil Sect reported the matter, and Li Xundao was immediately surprised. With the spiritual energy exhausted and all things extinguished, how could someone have the leisure to visit the ruins of the sect?

At first, I didn't care, thinking that it was an old member of the sect, reminiscing about the past of the sect and coming back to see the old scenery. This is normal. But as more and more traces are found, even many traces are found, it may be possible that they came from the same person.
