"Little guy..."

Cenqiaofu burst out laughing: "Don't you feel that you haven't even thought about the word 'Holy Emperor' seriously? In fact, in your growth experience, you didn't hear it very often?"

Xu Xiaoshou raised his eyes in shock.

Did this old woodcutter master the ability to read minds?

"I don't have the ability to read minds, but I do know that there are some secrets that, after being blocked by heaven, the world doesn't even have the chance to think about." Cenjou calmed down and said.

"Foolish people?" Xu Xiao raised his head and asked.

"It's not that we can't understand it this way..."

Cenqiaofu hesitated for a while and did not refute. He returned to the previous topic: "So use your smart little head to think about what the leader wants you to do, or what is the fundamental thing you want to pursue?"

This time Xu Xiaoshou blurted out two words without any thought.

"Freedom, protect!"

This is what he finally found in the predicament of the mortal world along the way and summarized the meaning of life.

But at this moment, Xu Xiaoshou suddenly felt that he needed to add one more.

“…and the ‘truth’!”

Cenqiaofu was slightly moved, but did not refute or ridicule. Instead, after a pause, he said with emotion: "That's right. Do you know my story?"

"Well, what's the matter?" Xu Xiaoshou nodded and said in surprise: "The woodcutter in the Southern Region became a master of cutting overnight. I wonder who in the world doesn't know this?"

He used to be skeptical about the story of "killing the Tao in one night", but he didn't know how difficult it was.

But now along the way, I collided with many thrones and slashes.

Xu Xiaoshou knew if this story came true.

Cen Qiaofu, maybe he should be the protagonist of Heaven’s Path, right?

This is exactly like holding a protagonist template and growing up!

"So, your legend of 'killing the Tao in one night' has been passed down from generation to generation and turned into a myth, or... is it true?" Xu Xiaoshou asked tentatively.

Cenjou smiled calmly.

"It's not a legend, this is a fact."

"When I was still in the mountains, I actually longed for the world outside the mountains; but after becoming a Zhan Dao, I longed for the world outside the sky even more."

"I don't know, has the Chief ever told you the so-called...answer?"

Xu Xiaoshou was startled.

He naturally knows the "answer" given by Ba Zun.

And in the journey planned by the other party for him, after completing the King City Trial, the Holy Palace Trial, and entering the mainland saint training base...

Xu Xiaoshou still remembers the night after the First World War in Bagongli, Bazunzhen lying on the rock and having a conversation with him looking at the moon:

"There, maybe you can find the answer you want."

It was also at this time that he was brought back to reality from memory, and Cenchofu on the opposite side actually blurted out something similar: "When you go to the Secret Realm of Four Symbols, you will probably be able to find part of the answer you want."

Xu Xiao was shocked.

He even wondered whether Cenjov had been brainwashed.

In other words, the other party is a partner and they want to come over and brainwash one of them.

"Did Bazun Shu teach you these words?" Xu Xiaoshou couldn't help but be curious.

"What do you mean?" Cenchofu turned his head, a little puzzled, but soon realized, "It seems that the leader did say something similar to you. Isn't it hard to believe it?"

"It's not that difficult..." Xu Xiaoshou knew what he was going to say and stopped him in advance.

Cenjou was choked again.

He rolled his eyes, took a deep breath, and began to talk to himself as if he hadn't heard anything:

"It was hard for me to believe it at the time, but as I walked through it step by step and saw too much, I gradually became numb."

"Not only me, the storyteller, Haitang'er, but also your master, and those people you have never met..."

"Shen Yi, Wen Ting, Cao Yihan, You Tu, Kong Yuhen, Feng Tingchen, etc. are all looking for this answer!"

"You should have seen quite a few organizations that survive under the Holy Temple now, such as the Holy Slave, the Xuyue Gray Palace, the King of Hell, etc., including the real continent-level supreme forces that you may have never come into contact with..."

"Shenyue Immortal City, Western Region Buddhist Sect, Northern Region Tianmeng, etc. are also looking for this answer!"

“Everyone looks for answers in different ways, and the process is very different, but in the final analysis, they are essentially the same.”

Xu Xiaoshou was shocked when he heard this.

In what the old woodcutter said, he heard the names of too many seniors.

Those are all famous characters. Basically, everyone has their own legend.

In fact, some Xu Xiaoshou had only heard of one name, and some had never even heard of his name.

But there are no exceptions.

Every one of the examples cited by Cenchov was almost equal to the Eight Masters at their peak.

Cen Qiaofu held a cup of tea to moisten his throat and continued:

"And the answers they found were indeed not all found in the Holy Palace."

"But still, apart from the results, everyone finds the answer in the process that they can fight for their whole life."

"Then some disappeared, and some lived in a corner..."

"Some people have found the answer and don't dare to look for it anymore."

"Some people suddenly understand something halfway through the trip and terminate the trip early."

"There are also people who, after thinking about this answer, forcibly restrain themselves from thinking further and choose to live a peaceful life."

"But there are also many people like me who are not afraid of death and choose to resist, haha..."

Cenchov laughed as he spoke.

Xu Xiaoshou was in a daze after hearing this.

He felt more and more that Sang Lao's "cage theory" was too terrible.

This is truly a layer of lingering fog shrouding heaven and earth!

Someone mentioned it in passing.

No one dares to confront it directly.

Even the Eight Masters spent decades in silence after the legend of "Three Breaths Innate, Three Years Sword Immortal".

He even dared to choose to come back when everyone thought he was dead.

Is there really such a powerful shadow behind the answer?

Can this shadow be so terrifying that even a genius as powerful as Ba Zunzun has to wait calmly for decades before he has the courage to face it?

"What's my answer?" Xu Xiaoshou asked after hesitating for a long time. He actually vaguely understood what the old woodcutter was going to say.

As expected, Cenchofu waved his hand and said with a smile:

"Find it yourself!"

"I can give you some instructions. The trials in the royal city are to Void Island, and the Secret Realm of Four Symbols is to everything you want."

"The rest, the truth you want, you have to find it yourself, because it is beyond the reach of my level!"

Xu Xiaoshou felt a headache after hearing this.

He has understood this truth for a long time.

Such an answer, even if it is too vague, cannot be said directly.

Only Bazun, who is familiar with that kind of people, can give Xu Xiaoshou a somewhat clear outline of the answer in such vague circumstances.

Ordinary people are generally too weak and even avoid it for fear of avoiding it.

Secrets must not be revealed!

"You succeeded in escaping me." After a long time, Xu Xiaoshou sighed with emotion.

He does feel that the final goal is not very important, but the process is actually quite long and more important.

"Holy Palace..."

"The Secret Realm of Four Symbols..."

"Void Island..."

From far to near, Xu Xiaoshou thought of the very thorny problem that was left.

"So, now that I have broken through to Grandmaster, if I still want to participate in the Royal City Trial, wouldn't it be like you said, old woodcutter, carrying a banner across the enemy army and seeking death?"

Cen Qiaofu glared at him angrily and cursed: "It all depends on your ability. Isn't your best thing the best at fooling people?"
