Chapter 366 The Method of Merging with the Dao
The Night's Watch headquarters, the office of the Supreme Commander.
The only sound in the empty room was Zuo Qing pacing back and forth.
The message brought back by Jiang Ziya confirms that Li Jie has been missing for nearly three hours.
Whether he is dead or alive, there is still no result.
This made Zuo Qing very anxious.
Lin Qiye also stared blankly out the window with a worried expression.
Where does that twisted crack lead? ...
If I tell him about this... is there still a glimmer of hope for Brother Li?
But... he hesitated. The Gods Mental Hospital was arguably the biggest secret he kept.
If it gets leaked, he might not be far from death.
He couldn't bear to just watch Li Jie die.
well.......
Lin Qiye sighed softly, preparing to immerse himself in the mental hospital to check on the situation.
Just then, two elderly men suddenly appeared in Zuo Qing's office.
Upon seeing the newcomers, Zuo Qing was slightly taken aback, then anxiously ran to the two of them and asked.
"Heavenly Venerable One, is there any news about Li Jie?"
Indeed, the visitors were none other than the two Celestial Venerables, Yuanshi and Daode.
Just as they joined forces to use the star map to probe Li Jie's aura fluctuations.
A fleeting ripple of sword energy emanated from a parallel dimension above the Atlantic Ocean.
Although the aura was very faint, it was real.
After the two Celestial Venerables confirmed it, they knew that the white-haired boy must have been pulled into a parallel universe by Chaos.
Only in this way can we explain why they cannot detect any trace of Li Jie in this world.
"Found it. There are subtle fluctuations of sword energy over the Atlantic Ocean. Based on the identification, it should be that kid."
"That's good, I'll set off right away!"
Zuo Qing, abandoning his usual composure, grabbed his cloak and was about to rush out the window.
Fortunately, Yuanshi Tianzun reacted quickly and stopped him. If Zuo Qing had gone alone, it would have been no different from sending him to his death.
“Young friend Zuo, there is no need to panic. This is a moral mistake, and it is naturally our responsibility to deal with it.”
"Cough cough... What do you mean by my mistake... Anyone would have been in the same situation back then. Chaos was determined to teach that kid a lesson, and if we hadn't been prepared, we wouldn't have been able to stop him at all."
"Just listen to me, don't make excuses."
Yuanshi Tianzun glared at him irritably, then continued speaking.
"Although we can pinpoint Li Xiaoyou's exact location, it is within another parallel universe. Even if we wanted to break through the spacetime barrier, it would be difficult. After we leave, we will still need Zuo Xiaoyou to stay in the capital to prevent foreign invasion."
The Celestial Venerable spoke tactfully, without directly pointing out that Zuo Qing's strength was too weak and that he was not suitable to get involved in a battle of this magnitude.
He does not mean that.
Zuo Qing's face darkened, and he bowed slightly before sitting back down at his desk.
"In that case, I'll trouble you two Celestial Venerables to ensure that the boy is brought back safely..."
"The Great Xia Dynasty owes him far too much..."
Upon hearing Zuo Qing's somber words, a hint of reluctance appeared on Yuanshi Tianzun's face.
yes.......
Although the Great Xia God sacrificed himself to build the national monument, the ancestors of the Night Watchers paid an extremely heavy price to preserve this vast territory after they entered reincarnation.
It can be said that without them, perhaps only one in ten of the people of the Great Xia Dynasty would have survived.
Upon realizing this, Yuanshi Tianzun promptly added.
"Don't worry, young friend Zuo, leave this matter to us."
"Once everything has settled down, I will invite you to the Heavenly Court for a chat."
After speaking, the two Celestial Venerables transformed into a wisp of breeze and vanished into the world.
Zuo Qing, sitting at his desk, could only manage a wry smile.
"As long as that kid is safe and sound and doesn't go to the Heavenly Court, what's the harm?"
He understood the hidden meaning in the Heavenly Venerable's words: on the surface, he wanted him to go to the Heavenly Court for a chat, but in reality, he wanted to grant him an opportunity.
To be able to cultivate to the level of half-step human ceiling from a relatively low-ranking forbidden area shows how hard he worked. If he could receive guidance from the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, who is a supreme god, the benefits would be self-evident.
But... if this opportunity comes at the cost of Li Jie's life, then he would rather not have it!
Sitting to the side, Lin Qiye's eyes grew increasingly empty and helpless. Just now, Sun Wukong from the hospital had sent a message.
The battle on the other side of the rift seems to be nearing its end.
........
On the other side, Chaos looked at Li Jie, who was enveloped in profound Daoist energy, with a strange expression and murmured to himself.
"It's been so long, why is there still no movement?"
"This kid is really too weird."
During this time, He never gave up releasing divine power to erode Li Jie's heart, but without exception, all of that scarlet divine power was blocked by that light blue barrier.
The situation seems to have reached a stalemate. Chaos can't break through, and Li Jie can't wake up. The two can only waste their time in this parallel world.
"Never mind, he can't escape anyway..."
With this thought in mind, Chaos bent his legs and sat down cross-legged in mid-air.
With nothing else to do, I might as well fuse the newly returned fragments of divine soul.
Within Li Jie's dantian, two figures, one old and one young, stood facing each other.
The hunched old man looked the white-haired boy up and down, a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.
Despite some setbacks, their comprehension is still quite good.
Fortunately, you didn't go astray, and it's not too late for you to realize your mistake.
When that profound Daoist sound resurfaced in Li Jie's ears again, he also awoke from his deep contemplation.
As he looked up at the hunched old man, a look of astonishment appeared in his eyes.
"Senior...you?"
What? Unbelievable?
"is a bit."
It's no wonder he reacted that way; judging from his appearance, the person in front of him was clearly his older self.
There's no need to panic or guess who I am; it's pointless.
I'm here for two reasons: to guide you through your confusion and to offer you a solution to your predicament.
How to break the deadlock?
At this point, Li Jie's dantian suddenly trembled for no apparent reason. Then, a solidified azure Daoist aura slowly flowed between the hunchbacked old man's palms.
Once the issue of mindset is resolved, the next step is to address the issue of spiritual境界 (state of being/level of attainment).
The laws of the Dao are profound and mysterious; it's no easy task for you to comprehend them on your own. Listen carefully to what follows, and see if you can step into the realm of Dao Integration...
【It all depends on today! 】
