C353 Only the Heart of the Way Is True
"Look. The Mad Demon has also successfully comprehended the first step of the Dao of Life and Death. As expected of The New Hegemon, she is indeed powerful."
"Although he was a step slower than Track Of Ren Yun, he was still the only one who had comprehended the first step other than Track Of Ren Yun. He was indeed powerful."
The surrounding people were attracted by the movement on The Mad Demon's side, and for a moment, everyone started to discuss amongst themselves.
After The Mad Demon opened its eyes, it first looked at the change in the stone platform it was sitting on, and did not feel too surprised. It probably knew what was going to happen to the Ascending Heaven.
After that, he looked at Track Of Ren Yun on the other side and found that Track Of Ren Yun had also comprehended the first step of the Dao of Life and Death, just like him. His opponent's stone platform had also risen by a level.
But he saw that the other was in a state of enlightenment. It was clear that the other had comprehended the first step of the Path of Life and Death before he had.
Seeing this, his expression did not change much at all. The Mad Demon knew very well how difficult it was for her to comprehend the Dao of life and death, and it was already very difficult for her to successfully comprehend the first step. As for the second step, he would not even try to comprehend it, and even if he did, it would be useless.
Since there was the limit of his own bloodline, he was unable to comprehend the Dao Laws, other than his own bloodline, so he would not compare his comprehension with that of Track Of Ren Yun.
Thus, The Mad Demon no longer planned to continue comprehending. Instead, she just sat on her own stone platform, and began to wait for the end of the final trial.
"Looks like he should be able to comprehend to the second step. Although this person is not a very good person, his comprehension ability is truly impressive." The Mad Demon looked at Track Of Ren Yun who was not far away, and thought in her heart.
In his heart, he was actually a little disdainful of Track Of Ren Yun, because he did not like narrow-minded people, but he also approved of his talent.
He retracted his gaze, turned his head and looked in the other direction. The place where his gaze landed, was where Lee Zhuohua was.
During the battle at the Stone Forest, the Mad Demon had already treated Lee Zhuohua as a true opponent. In his opinion, with the other party's talent, he would definitely be able to understand the first step to the Dao of Life and Death.
But when he saw that there was no change in Lee Zhuohua's position, and that Lee Zhuohua was still immersed in comprehending it, it was as if he had not comprehended the first step of the Dao of Life and Death at all. This made him feel a little strange.
"Strange, it's not supposed to be." The Mad Demon did not think that someone like Lee Zhuohua would be worse than him in terms of comprehension, but Lee Zhuohua's current appearance was that he had not even comprehended the first step.
This did make The Mad Demon feel that something was amiss.
However, The Mad Demon's gaze when she looked at Lee Zhuohua did not have the slightest bit of contempt, but instead had a hint of seriousness.
"I really don't know what's going on with you, but this Ascending Heaven definitely won't be a problem for you, or else you won't be worthy of being my enemy." The Mad Demon thought to herself, and in the end, she retracted her gaze and no longer looked at Lee Zhuohua.
He sat cross-legged on the stone platform and slowly closed his eyes. However, he did not continue to comprehend the Dao of Life and Death, but began to polish his own cultivation.
The actions of the Mad Demon also attracted the attention of the two masters who had been paying attention to the situation of The Trial Ground. At first, neither of the two masters thought that the Mad Demon would be able to comprehend the first step of the Dao of Life and Death, but the current situation surprised them.
"This young man is really amazing. It seems like after Shen Lang and Ziyun Hujingze, another Prodigy is going to appear in your Demon Realm." When the Master of the Mansion saw the high stone platform that The Mad Demon was sitting on, he said this with a satisfied look in his eyes.
The Vice Academy Master also did not expect that The Mad Demon would really be able to understand the first step of the Dao of Life and Death. He was the one who knew the Demon Realm Cultivator's situation the best, and the Dao of Life and Death was very difficult for the Demon Realm Cultivator.
Thus, when he saw the Mad Demon comprehend the first step to the Dao of Life and Death, he was even more surprised than the Prefecture Master.
"This kid is pretty good." He only gave a faint compliment to The Mad Demon, but the Prefecture Master could hear the complacency in his words.
Although the Master of the Mansion cared about the Mad Demon, he cared more about the other person in his heart. It was just that the person did not move at all, which made the Master of the Mansion unable to understand what was going on with that person.
And the person that the Manor Lord cared about was Lee Zhuohua.
Lee Zhuohua was waiting for Xuanyunzi to understand what he had said, so he did not know what was happening in the outside world.
If the Patriarch and the others were to find out that everyone else was comprehending Xuanyunzi's Dao while Xuanyunzi was comprehending the true meaning of Lee Zhuohua's words, their expressions would probably be quite interesting.
However, at this moment, Xuanyunzi had descended into Lee Zhuohua's body with his divine sense. Other than Lee Zhuohua, no one else knew that Xuanyunzi was here as well. Even the Prefecture Master and the others would not know about Lee Zhuohua's current condition with Xuanyunzi.
......
Inside Lee Zhuohua's body.
Because it was the first time Xuanyunzi had heard Lee Zhuohua's words, he was unable to digest and absorb the reason that Lee Zhuohua had told him, and Lee Zhuohua was waiting for the other party to figure out what the so-called balance of life and death was.
The extremity of death is life. Everything withers and returns to heaven and earth, and even though life is gone, it is not really gone, but is merely a manifestation of life in another form.
Just as weeds are eaten by deer, and the deer is fed, the weeds are turned into the vitality of the deer, and when the deer dies and the body rot, the grass is nourished again, and the vitality of the deer is turned into the vitality of the grass.
Then when the deer ate the grass, the deer would contribute to the growth of the grass. Would the vitality of the grass belong to the deer or the grass itself?
There might be thousands of answers, but there was only one life that remained unchanged. It just kept changing its shape.
That was the extreme of death! It was life. As people said, death was just another beginning. Death was another form of life.
Only when life reached the end in the form of death would it welcome the next life.
Xuanyunzi seemed to understand something after comprehending for a long time, but at the same time, he did not seem to understand. Lee Zhuohua's words seemed to be a little hazy to him, making him feel uncomfortable in his heart.
"The ultimate limit of death is life. If this cycle is really repeated, will the life after that still be the same?" Xuanyunzi muttered the doubt in his heart.
Lee Zhuohua heard the murmurings of the other party, but he shook his head.
Indeed, many people who walked the path of life and death would have such a question. When the next life force came, would this life be the original one?
There is no meaning to the question. It is like denying the existence of your current self and going back to the vague past life.
Did a person's previous life really exist? No one knew, but one thing was for sure. Your current life was another life.
If you can't even know who you were before, why care who you are after that, because when your next chance comes, you must have a value for his existence.
[The Dao of Life and Death doesn't care about the past, the present, or the future. Everything is about life and death.]
"Anyway, life changes, but it doesn't change the fact that it is life. No matter what you become, you will still be Xuanyunzi. All the changes are fascinating, but the heart is real." Lee Zhuohua said for Xuanyunzi at the right time.
And it was precisely these words that immediately enlightened Xuanyunzi, who was still in a state of confusion. It was as if a lamp had suddenly lit up in a dark secret room and everything could be seen clearly.
"No matter what I turn into, I will still be Xuanyunzi. Only the Dao heart is true. Right, right." Xuanyunzi repeated what Lee Zhuohua had said, and there was no longer any doubt in his heart.
Just as he understood that the ultimate limit of death was life, his eyes, one black and one white, began to fill with a mysterious aura.
For a moment, his black eye began to glow, as if it were turning white, but the process was so slow that it was not yet quite the same as the other eye.
With the beginning, sooner or later, his eyes would turn pure white. When that happened, his cultivation would reach another level.
And all of this was due to Lee Zhuohua's credit.
"Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, Fellow Daoist." Xuanyunzi, who had finally reacted, immediately bowed to Lee Zhuohua and said sincerely.
He was really grateful to Lee Zhuohua. If Lee Zhuohua hadn't pointed it out to him, then his path might have come to an end. But now, he saw new hope.
Not only was it about the Dao of Life and Death, it was also about his cultivation level and his Lifespan. To him, this was simply opening up a new life, and Lee Zhuohua was like his parents, how could he not be grateful?
