4355 Comprehending the Great Dao!
Jian Wushuang looked at the strong-looking boy and found him quite interesting. After exchanging a look with Leng Rushuang, he jokingly replied, “Grandpa, grandma, you came from beyond the heavens.”
“Beyond the heavens?”
The boy was stunned. He blinked his bright eyes and asked, “Where is beyond the heavens?”
“Oh. beyond the heavens…” Jian Wushuang thought for a while and replied with a smile, “It’s a place that’s very, very far from here. When night comes, you can look up at the sky and see the furthest star from you. That’s where I came from.”The boy pouted and shook his head. “Grandfather, you’re talking nonsense. Mother told me that the stars in the sky are places that people can only go to after they die. My father is living on the star now.”
Hearing this, Jian Wushuang was dumbfounded. But when he heard the second half of the sentence, he could not help but sigh softly. He reached out his hand and rubbed the little boy’s head.
“You’re so smart, you even saw through grandpa’s lie.”
When the little boy heard this, he immediately raised his head and snorted with pride, “Of course. Mother said that I’m the smartest child in the world.”
Hearing this, Jian Wushuang smiled and didn’t say anything.
As for the little boy, he was at the age where he was naturally playful, so how could he sit down? He picked up the wooden sword and danced for a while. After a while, he was tired of dancing and ran over again. He asked while panting, “Grandpa, you must have seen a lot of people since you came from far away. Do you think there are sword Immortals in this world?”
“Sword immortal?”Jian Wushuang was stunned. He thought for a moment, then nodded and replied with a smile, “Of course there is. Grandfather was once a sword immortal.”
“Ah? Grandpa, you’re a sword immortal?” The little boy’s eyes suddenly widened. He sized up Jian Wushuang and asked with suspicion, “Grandpa, you’re lying. Sword Immortals all fly in the sky.”
Jian Wushuang laughed. “Grandpa, didn’t you say that I used to be a sword immortal? But now I’m old and can’t fly anymore.”
Hearing this, Leng Rushuang burst into laughter. She had never thought that Jian Wushuang could be so innocent.
However, she didn’t say anything. As Jian Wushuang’s wife, she was the only one who knew how much pressure Jian Wushuang, who had a bounty on his head and the Divine Life Palace had suffered a great calamity because of her, was under.
If this could allow Jian Wushuang to relax for a short while, why not?
Hearing Jian Wushuang’s words, the little boy’s big eyes were filled with disbelief, but he didn’t know how to refute it. After thinking for a while, he straightened his neck and asked, “Then…then Grandpa, tell me how you became a sword immortal in the past and I’ll believe you!”
“Alright.”
Jian Wushuang nodded and then looked up at the sky. His old and turbid eyes flashed with a touch of nostalgia.
“Then I’ll have to start from a long, long time ago…”
As the sun set in the West, time gradually passed. Jian Wushuang picked out some interesting things to tell the little boy. Suddenly, the little boy’s eyes widened, and his expression was wonderful. His heart was full of ups and downs, and he was full of longing.
After a while, Jian Wushuang slowly stopped talking. He shook his head and smiled, “Alright, let’s stop here for today.”
The little boy only came back to his senses after a long time, as if he had just woken up from a dream.
When he looked at Jian Wushuang again, his eyes were full of admiration.
“Grandpa, let me tell you a secret. I’m practicing the sword so that I can become a sword immortal like you in the future!”
He tightly held the wooden sword in his hand, his eyes full of young hesitation.
“As long as I persevere, I will.”
Jian Wushuang replied with a smile.
The little boy was overjoyed when he heard Jian Wushuang’s affirmation. He asked Jian Wushuang several times and only laughed foolishly when he got Jian Wushuang’s affirmation.
After a while, he rolled his eyes as if he had thought of something. He then asked curiously, “Grandpa, why did you practice the sword then?”
“Me?”
Hearing this, Jian Wushuang smiled. Just as he was about to answer, he suddenly froze.
He…why did he practice the sword in the first place?
Jian Wushuang didn’t say anything. He just looked up at the sky in a daze and a myriad of thoughts surged in his heart!
Everyone had their own reasons to become stronger, or rather, it was called obsession!
With this obsession, he would be able to forge his own Dao without regret even if he died ten thousand times!
Then, what was his obsession?
Jian Wushuang could answer this question. In the beginning, his obsession was to protect himself, to not be bullied, to find his father, Jian Nantian, and to survive in this world!
Thus, as the other party became stronger and stronger, he muddleheaded and passed through one obstacle after another, making himself stronger and stronger!
Now, he had become the most powerful existence in the entire universe, except for the Supremes!
But…
He, Jian Wushuang, had never taken the initiative to become stronger. What should he do?
No!
Looking closely at all of his actions, it was actually just a counterattack to the pressure from all sides!
Even now, he wanted to comprehend the Dao, collect the innate five elements Qi, and break through to the Supreme Divine Realm. All of this was just to make himself stronger so that he could face the dragon clan and all the forces that wanted to suppress him!
Then, if one day, he, Jian Wushuang, became invincible in the universe and no one in the world could suppress him, would he stop cultivating? Was it going to stagnate?
Jian Wushuang’s eyes gradually revealed a hint of confusion.
The divine power in his body started to become chaotic.
“My husband!”
Seeing this, Leng Rushuang’s expression changed slightly. She quickly waved her right hand and formed a Ward, which wrapped her and Jian Wushuang.
She knew that Jian Wushuang must have understood something and was now at the most critical stage!
All she could do was to not let anyone disturb him.
Inside the wizardry barrier, Jian Wushuang fell into an unprecedented state of confusion. It was as if he had fallen into the deep sea and was constantly sinking…sink…
He was completely lost.
What was his Dao?
…
Time flew by and three days passed.
In the wizardry barrier, Jian Wushuang and Leng Rushuang seemed to have disappeared from the world. They were sitting in front of the tea stall, but no one could see or touch them.
This naturally caused another wave of surprise. The little boy was extremely excited and repeatedly exclaimed, “Mother, I’ve met an immortal!!”
The lady boss was also stunned. Then, she quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times, calling for the arrival of the immortals.
Jian Wushuang, who was in the ward, was in an extremely critical situation.
Since ancient times, countless experts had failed to comprehend the great Dao, and then their Dao hearts had completely collapsed, turning them into walking corpses or human-shaped machines.
Just as Jian Wushuang’s Dao heart was about to collapse and he was about to follow in the footsteps of those people.
Suddenly, a human face appeared in Jian Wushuang’s consciousness.
That was…Xuan Yi!
