"If you want to be side by side with the sky, it means that this practitioner is already strong enough, crossing the nine realms and walking through the Great Way of Ten Thousand Miles."

"But the problem is that this kind of power is not enough for the heavens compared to the creatures in the world."

"Do you know why?" Chu Mushen asked back.

Lu Qingshan thought quietly for a while and tentatively said, "Because, is the sky too strong?"

“It’s only a small part of the reason, but not the main reason.”

"God is not as powerful as you think."

Chu Mushen shook his head and denied Lu Qingshan's answer.

If others say this, it would seem too arrogant, but Chu Mushen said this just right.

The sword fairy, who likes to eat fish, slowly drank the fish soup in the bowl with a spoon, with a leisurely expression, and then pointed to the top with the spoon.

Lu Qingshan couldn't help but look up at the blue sky.

"Because, this world operates according to the rules of the laws of heaven, and the birth of all living beings follows its rules.

In addition, even the great way that is passed through by monks above the nine realms is only part of the way of heaven.”

"In this world, the way of heaven is the highest way."

"I don't know the true face of Mount Lu because I am in this mountain."

"Every flower, grass, tree, and even the air you breathe and the spiritual energy you need to practice come from the origin of the world."

"Your birth is the rule of heaven, and the avenue you walk on is a small part of the way of heaven."

"So, how should people fight against the sky?"

"As I just said, practicing is a very difficult thing, but under such a large number of humans, in such a long time, there are always some monks who can cross the nine realms and reach the other side, and are about to touch the sky."

"But they all failed in the end."

"Because their strongest weapon is only part of the way of heaven."

"The way of heaven can do everything, calculate everything, can see through your weaknesses, and can even deprive you of your strength."

"That is what we often say, the heaven is everywhere and can do everything."

"Since it can do everything, why do you have to wait until someone comes to "provoke" it before you know how to take action instead of stifling the threat in the bud?

Since it can do everything, why did the Xia Daozu still break through to the ancestral realm?" Lu Qingshan raised his own question.

Chu Mushen smiled, then his smile gradually faded and said calmly: "Answer your first question first."

"Because, the laws of heaven must also follow the rules."

"Just like the emperor of a country, he was the supreme ruler of this country and had the highest rights, but he could not act recklessly and had to abide by certain rules. If the rules are broken wantonly, the country will perish."

"If the country perishes, can the emperor still be called an emperor?"

Lu Qingshan was silent.

"Those monks who have crossed the Nine Realms are 'rebels' to the Heavenly Way. Even if the emperor has no evidence, he cannot simply identify who is the rebel and then kill him, right?"

"After all, those who can meet the conditions of "rebellion" are the most powerful people in a country.

If they were killed all of them without reason, the country would be over," Chu Mushen used a very easy-to-understand metaphor to answer Lu Qingshan's question, "Equally, their strength will make the country stronger."

"What is needed in the middle is a balance."

"So in order to make the "country" stronger, the way of heaven can only sit and watch the threat grow gradually until it challenges it?" Lu Qingshan was still puzzled.

After all, in the Daoyuan Realm, the Heavenly Dao tried to destroy all human races to relieve the threat.

"Who said that," Chu Mushen looked at Lu Qingshan and then looked at the sky, "Isn't it always trying to erase the threat?"

Lu Qingshan was stunned. After a moment, he suddenly woke up and murmured: "Heavenly Tribulation..."

Once the cultivator's cultivation level is improved to the realm of tribulation, he will usher in the heavenly tribulation.

Is this a test?

No, this is just a way to eradicate threats by the way of heaven.

I don’t know how many monks fell on the Taoist path because of the heavenly tribulation or stopped moving forward on the Taoist path.

If there is no heavenly tribulation, the number of high-level cultivators in Cangqiongtian would be several times or even dozens of times that of today.

After all, a high-level cultivator has long lost his life span.

"You reacted very quickly," Chu Mushen nodded, affirmed Lu Qingshan's guess, and then said: "Now answer your second question."

"Yes, since heaven is omnipotent, why is there an exception? Why is Xia Zu the only one who becomes an exception?"

"Like you, I started thinking about this issue."

"I was wondering, what is the difference between Xia Zu and others? It should be this different place that makes him the exception."

"But whether it is practice or physical fitness, Xia Zu is not unique."

"So I began to think about other possibilities."

"But these may be overturned by me one by one."

"Until later, someone told me the answer." Chu Mushen said.

"What is it?" Lu Qingshan did not cooperate this time, but was really caring and curious.

"The answer is simple and reasonable," Chu Mushen sighed and said, "It is also difficult to copy at the same time."

"The Ancestral Realm is a road against the will of heaven, and there is no doubt about this.

This is the world of heaven, its territory.”

"I want to defeat it on its territory...so no one has ever succeeded."

"The most fundamental reason why Aunt Xia was able to defeat the way of heaven was... He was not a person from the sky."

"He comes from another world."

"So he succeeded."

"If this world is a dead game, we are all chess pieces in the game, and the way of heaven is the one who can control the chess pieces. Xia Zu came from outside the game and was an outsider, so he could naturally be the one who broke the game."

Lu Qingshan felt that his mouth was a little dry.

"Xia Zu...he comes from another world?"

"Does it refer to another world like the abyss, the yellow springs, and the wilderness?" he asked.

"Of course not," Chu Mushen shook his head calmly, "If it were so simple, I would have crossed the boundary sea and headed to the abyss to try to break through the ancestral realm."

"Our world is full of heaven and earth."

"Xia Zu's world is round, both the sky and the earth." Chu Mushen stared at Lu Qingshan's face with bright eyes.

Lu Qingshan was speechless.

Whether he took over as the leader of the Sword Sect or faced the provocation of the Sword Washing Pool, his pressure had never been as high as that at this moment.

He subconsciously glanced at the blue sky, and suddenly felt that the whole sky seemed to be pressing towards him.

"Xia Zu succeeded, but also failed." Chu Mushen continued.

"No one knows the specific reason."

"But I and the people who told me the answer made a very reasonable guess."

"The reason why Xia Zu succeeded is because he is not a person from our world."

"The reason why he failed...is because he finally followed the great way under the heavenly way."

"He is a Dharma practitioner."

Chu Mushen looked at Lu Qingshan and smiled and said, "You should understand what I mean very much."

"The monks in the world all walk on the path of unity of the way, and they are united with the innate way, that is, the way of heaven, which also destined that they will never be able to transcend the way of heaven."

"Only sword cultivator practices the acquired way, and only enlightens the way if it is not in line with the way."

"This makes the path of sword cultivator particularly difficult, but it also makes sword cultivator not restricted by the way of heaven."

The copper tripod on the table had already been turned off at some point, and the fish soup stopped boiling.

"In other words, if there is really someone who can transcend the way of heaven and reach the ancestral realm, then he must meet these two conditions at the same time..."

"Outsider."

"Sword Cultivator."

Chu Mushen looked at Lu Qingshan and smiled.

"That's it."

"Lu Qingshan."
