"Taozu?"

Ba Zunzun was slightly startled.

The first thing he thought of was "Dao Ancestor's blessing" and "Dao Ancestor is on top" that Dao Qiongcang would often say decades ago.

But he knew that it was just a joking name.

Dao Qiongcang has truly achieved the goal of having no gods or Buddhas. He has great ambitions, so he does not respect the ancestors and gods.

The "Taozu's blessing" he talks about usually refers to the hope that there will be no changes, or the hope that he will be stronger and can protect himself.

The second reaction, the Eight Masters were reminded of the phantom of the ancestor god seen together with Xu Xiaoshou on Lingyu Mountain.

Among them, in addition to Demon Ancestor, Cui Yin, and Yao Ancestor, there is also Ancient and Modern Wangyou Tower, and Turtle and Tong.

Intuitively, the latter may be more relevant.

And this one still points to something related to Dao Qiongtian...

In addition, among the ten ancestors, after thinking about it, there is indeed no Taoist ancestor...

The Eight Masters' search for intestines and stomach is over.

He felt that maybe there was a mistake in his memory and he had forgotten other important points.

Or maybe the "Taozu" mentioned by Xu Xiaoshou is different from what he understands, and is just a nickname.

Of course, there is one last possibility. After all, Xu Xiaoshou has just returned from the long river of time. If he met the "Tao Ancestor" in the past or the future and came here to ask for vague answers, it would be reasonable.

"I don't know him."

On one side, after careful consideration, Kong Yuhen shook his head in response, and at the same time turned his gaze to Ba Zun.

"Which way?"

Ba Zunzhen did not deny it immediately.

He stared at Xu Xiaoshou, knowing that if this question was not important, Xu Xiaoshou would not speak immediately.

"The way to the heavens."

The expected answer... Bazun was thoughtful.

This is very interesting. Could it be that in the future, Xu Xiaoshou will see Dao Qiongtian and become a Dao Ancestor?

"As far as I know, there is no existence of Dao Ancestor..."

Ba Zunzun was very rigorous. After careful consideration, he decided to tell everything he knew and thought:

"But in the past, Dao Qiongcang often used the title 'Dao Ancestor' on his lips, asking for blessings and other things. It was like a spiritual sustenance, not an existing entity."

"Of course we can't rule out that at that time, he was deliberately guiding us, but for what purpose?"

The Eight Masters have always been unable to fathom the heavens.

If it's a head-on fight, like Void Island, where you have to play chess one by one, you can still win.

He can even win at home.

But this kind of extremely obscure secret trick is to call Wuxiu and Water Ghost to tie them up. The three of them together can't figure out what Qiongqiang is doing in his mind.

Xu Xiaoshou is different.

Xu Xiaoshou is also very cunning.

The two smelled alike, but it was possible for them to understand each other. The eight masters knew each other, so they looked at Xu Xiaoshou with hidden expectations.

"I have also never met Daozu. I just had a sudden feeling and asked this question." Xu Xiaoshou knew that Ba Zun had misunderstood.

He mentioned Taoist ancestors all because Nuozu, at the last moment, said in his exhortation on the "I" Tao, "Tao can be taught, but it is not Tao, and it can be named, but it is not named."

Of course, this is just a foreshadowing sentence, used to modify the way of "I", which can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words.

After listening to Zu Nuo's explanation of the "I" way, Xu Xiaoshou felt that what he said was almost as if he didn't say it.

Now that I have calmed down, I remember that this is not the case.

Nuozu gave too much information!

He once said that the way of "I" he cultivated is not the only way to withstand great catastrophes. It can also be called a time.

So, what about the way of "Tao"?

The origin of the Tao will not be mentioned for the time being, but its name is the Second Ancestor of the time...

The famous ancestors wanted to follow the path of fame, but they could not transcend it, but instead fell into ruin.

The ancestor of the time wanted to control the way of the time and took on thousands of incarnations, but he was limited by himself.

Both of these, to put it bluntly, are overconfident in the way they have cultivated. They want to master the way, but in the end they are controlled by the way.

Although Dianuo is crazy, he is not paranoid when it comes to spiritual practice. Instead, he takes things as easy as he can handle them. He is so clear about himself.

Although similar people are at the other extreme - not the body, but the brain, Xu Xiaoshou actually knows one!

who?

Tao firmament!

This is the origin of Xu Xiaoshou's sudden thought of "Tao".

Dao Qiongtian cultivates the secrets of heaven, but he is never limited to the secrets of heaven, but is compatible with hundreds of schools of thought and advocates the doctrine of adoption - there are three thousand avenues, as if he wants to cultivate three thousand.

Before the critical moment, he can settle everything by calculation.

At the critical juncture, he could grit his teeth and create six heavens and three heavens, which were compatible with ancient swordsmanship, ancient martial arts, spirituality, and even pure spiritual thoughts.

Such a Tao, of course, is complex, and it will never be able to surpass the eight masters who specialize in ancient sword cultivation, the gods who specialize in ancient martial arts, etc. in a certain detail.

But isn’t this approach advisable?

All I can say is that it’s worth debating!

Just like not to look down on the ten ancestors because of looking down on Nuo, even if Di Nuo is the only ancestor god who clearly recognizes me, so far Xu Xiaoshou has never looked down upon the Demon Ancestor, Yao Ancestor, Chou Yin, etc. even if he immediately intervened after returning.

A sword of evil spirits.

In the same way, he does not look down upon the Ten Patriarchs just because they are now the Patriarchs, and none of the Ten Patriarchs have ever been enshrined as ancestors.

Among those who are expected to reach the level of the ancestral gods, such as Yagami Cao, etc., their horizons have greatly increased after their return, and Xu Xiaoshou can probably see their upper limit.

It's nothing more than an explosion of all strength, at least reaching the height of the ten ancestors, but whether I can tell clearly or not is a matter of two opinions.

After all, Ancestor Nuo has gone through so many time loops and found so many helpers. He is still the only one who knows how to distinguish me and survives.

Alone in the sky...

Xu Xiaoshou really has to put a question mark on this guy!

Judging from the appearance of his research on Tianji puppets, spiritual intelligence, Taoism, thousands of "others" in the five realms, and the Tianji Tao that is compatible with hundreds of schools, looking at the essence, Tao Qiongtian seems to be studying "I"!

"The Tao can be Tao, but it is not Tao; the name can be named, but it is not named."

“If the ‘name’ in this is understood as ‘famous ancestor’, is it possible that the ‘Tao’ in it can also be summarized and sorted out into a ‘Tao ancestor’?”

Originally it was just a whim, a childish idea like a flash of inspiration, but 99% of the time it happened after the session. When he wanted to let go of this feeling, Xu Xiaoshou woke up again.

Especially after returning to experience the world of mortals and taking back the memories of Jinren, Xu Xiaoshou also discovered that there was really an "Ajie" who claimed to be "Tao Ancestor" in the realm of Emperor Qianshi!

This means you can't excuse yourself with self-deception, such as "child's play" or "coincidence".

The whim guidance of the Yi Dao Pan must have a reason.

It is definitely not a coincidence that "Ajie" calls himself Taoist ancestor.

Xu Xiaoshou asked the question unnecessarily, and he found out from Bazunzhen's words that this "Tao Ancestor" indeed had some seemingly unorthodox "connections" with Dao Qiongang.

"The less serious it is, the more wrong it is..."

"What is the relationship between Holy Emperor Qianshi and Dao Qiongcang? Are they also father and son?"

Let’s not explore the relationship for now, just look at Dao Qiongcang’s current behavior and trends.

After the Relic of the Gods, Dao Qiongcang only showed his face because he helped Haunting Yin when he fought against the love of the common people. So far, there has been no news.

Are you the kind of person who is willing to be mediocre?

As soon as the ancestor god came, he was so scared that he shrank under the water and decided never to come back again?

Absolutely impossible!

After thinking about it, Xu Xiaoshou still felt it was necessary to mention:

"There is a turtle boy in the realm of Emperor Qianshi. He is the one after the visions of the ancestors seen in Lingyu Mountain. He calls himself 'Tao Ancestor' and arrests my incarnation. However, he does not have much malice. Instead, he has been instilling in me the world of mortals. Enlightenment..."

Speaking of this, Xu Xiaoshou stopped talking.

Yes, what does Emperor Qianshi want? Does he want to be friends with me? But from his perspective, do I deserve it?

Or is it that, just like the Demon Ancestor, he also knows the existence of the "name" or the existence of the "Turntable", and feels that befriending him is equivalent to befriending the "Famous Ancestor's Sinking Body"?

Ba Zunzhen didn't think too much about it.

As soon as Xu Xiaoshou said this, he immediately thought of why this guy was carried up Lingyu Mountain by Li Fugui.
