When Di Jiu first heard this, his feelings were not that deep, he just thought it was a bit odd.
Cao Xie explained, “The so-called ‘Tao is not the Tao, and people are not people’ does not imply any connotation in it, it just means the surface meaning. That is to say that those who truly cultivate the Tao are not the Tao that we have enlightened, and those who truly cultivate the Tao are not actually human beings.
You should know that once upon a time, Du Bu, and I, and even some of the great cultivators who obtained the chance of the Open Heaven Universe, were not actually considered purely human. Rather, they came from the condensation of the essence of the Open Heaven Universe, and were themselves dao bodies, so would an ordinary human cultivator be able to compare to them?”
Originally, Di Jiu didn’t have any particular feeling about this statement, but when Cao Xie explained it like this, he felt that it was a bit odd instead.
Cao Xi continued, “‘Pity my generation, much torment’ that means that my generation of human cultivators, desperately cultivating, still end up under the overlooking eyes of those true Dao Body cultivators, under their control, under their universe. For no matter how much human cultivators cultivate, they cannot surpa*s the true Daoist bodies that have opened up the heavens, and can hardly surpa*s those Daoist cultivators who are not human in the first place.
This is a pity, a sigh of relief for human cultivators. I can understand this because after I was reborn once, I was born in this universe as a human cultivator.”
Di Jiu frowned, he vaguely felt that there were other meanings in this sentence, only that his cultivation dao might not be enough, so he had no way to completely understand this sentence.
“Fellow Daoist Cao, do you think that if you find the other half of your missing Hong Meng, and I have also crossed over to the third step. What are the chances of us two joining forces to deal with that Du Bu, what are the chances of winning?” Di Jiu finally couldn’t help but ask what was on his mind.
What he was most worried about now wasn’t anyone else, it was that Du Bu whom he had never even met, but merely heard about.
Cao Xi fell silent, and it was only after half a column of time that she slowly said, “There is no chance of winning.”
Di Jiu had an uncomfortable feeling in his heart, that Du Bu was indeed powerful, could it be that after he had crossed into the third step, he still had no chance of winning against Du Bu?
It seemed that he felt that Di Jiu and Cao Xi’s words were too much, the tall, strong man behind Di Jiu raised his hand and slapped Di Jiu, even though Di Jiu had lost all his cultivation, he was not someone who could just slap him whenever he wanted. Almost as soon as the giant slapped him over, his body flashed and the slap was slapped to the side.
The strong man was furious when he missed Di Jiu with a slap, and this guy was about to continue to strike when a fierce sound of killing suddenly came from the distance.
Four of them immediately rushed over, while the remaining one grabbed Di Jiu with one hand and Cao Xi with the other and also rushed over.
Soon Di Jiu saw clearly what was ahead of him, two armies were frantically fighting together on a battlefield. The battlefield was littered with blood and mist, and people were constantly being cut down.
Di Jiu took a rough look and saw that there were at least tens of thousands of people fighting on this battlefield. He despised these few strong men in his heart, tens of thousands of people were fighting and a few of you rushed up, were you looking for death, or were you looking for death?
It was a pity that Di Jiu had not yet constructed the complete rules and could not understand the words here, otherwise, he would have simply asked this silly big man to back off and wait for this great battle to pa*s.
“Poof!” A stone arrow was shot from afar, this one went straight through the eyebrow of the strong man who had grabbed Di Jiu and Cao Xi, exploding into a shower of blood. The strong man threw himself to the ground, throwing Di Jiu and Cao Xie as far as they could.
Di Jiu hurriedly broke free of the ropes, and Cao Xi also broke free of the ropes in the first place without Di Jiu’s help.
“Let’s hurry up and leave, there are too many people here, once we get swept in, I’m afraid it won’t be too good.” Di Jiu said, although his physical body was strong, there were too many people here, and he felt that the guys here all seemed to be extremely powerful. He didn’t care about the number of people, but it wasn’t safe to be in such a chaotic battlefield after all.
Cao Xie sighed, “Why is this happening everywhere? People are all you kill me and I kill you, pity my generation, how tormented ……”
This time there was no need for Di Jiu to explain, she seemed to understand that there seemed to be something else in the words that she had clearly understood.
“Get going, don’t lament here. It’s like you’re so powerful, chasing me around, but you still have to hide from the ferry no?” Seeing Cao Xie sighing again, Di Jiu couldn’t help but dislike him. He said, “You don’t have that ability, but you have to do things that are beyond your ability.
When Cao Xie heard Di Jiu’s words, his face reddened slightly, then he said, “I’m sorry, I really shouldn’t have chased you. You’re right, some things can’t just be seen on the surface.”
Di Jiu had long since run away, and Cao Xi followed Di Jiu and also quickly left the battlefield.
Di Jiu and Cao Xi’s cultivation levels were lost, the two were strong after all, and both were strong flesh cultivators. With their speed, they quickly bypa*sed the battlefield.
What appeared in front of the two was a huge city, not so much a city as a stone city. Everywhere this city could be seen, it was all stone. At the very top of this stone city, there were also several large characters carved up from huge stones, only that Di Jiu didn’t recognize any of them.
“Let’s go, let’s go into the city.” Di Jiu pointed to the city gate that was wide open in the distance and said.
Cao Xie looked at Di Jiu in confusion, “The two armies that were fighting just now, one of them is obviously from this Stone City. If the army representing this Stone City’s side loses, won’t we be captured again?”
There was one more thing she didn’t say, if the Stone City side’s won, they would still be captives.
Di Jiu said with a grin, “Being captured is being captured, I don’t care. If you care, you can go first.”
To Di Jiu, he really didn’t care what kind of people he was captured by. This Stone City was crowded, and where there were many people, there were some rules of heaven and earth that were even clearer. For example, words, language and so on. Only in such places where the rules of heaven and earth were clear could he figure out the language and writing here the fastest and then figure out where he was at.
Di Jiu insisted on entering the city, so Cao Xi had no choice but to follow Di Jiu into the Stone City.
The gates of Stone City were wide open, and there were panicked people everywhere, scurrying about or gathering together to discuss something nervously. However, among these people, there was not a single strong man, and youths like Di Jiu, were almost invisible, and were probably all on the battlefield.
Di Jiu and Cao Xi’s arrival did not bother anyone either. Not all the people here were tall either, and Di Jiu and Cao Xi did not stand out too much.
If Di Jiu knew the language here, he would really like to ask these people about it. If they thought they might not be able to defeat each other, why didn’t they close the gates and then everyone hid on the city to defend it?
Di Jiu soon understood what was going on; this city was not so much a city as it was just a stone wall. Apart from a few stone characters on the stone wall, there was nothing to defend the city at all. This wall, I’m afraid, was more to give people a sense of psychological security.
As he walked through the crowd, Di Jiu kept using his consciousness to sense the laws of heaven and earth here. At this moment, he couldn’t use his divine mind or divine element, and he couldn’t even communicate with his sea of consciousness, so using his consciousness to construct his basic laws would be too slow.
Since this was the case, he might as well sense the basic laws here first. Everything was difficult at the beginning, and as soon as he gained some divine thoughts and then constructed his own laws of heaven and earth, he would recover faster and faster.
A more shrill hissing and shouting came, Di Jiu saw countless people rushing into the city, even if he couldn’t understand the words of these people, Di Jiu could only sigh and say, “The soldiers of this stone city have lost, the other side will soon take over this place.”
Another thing that Di Jiu couldn’t understand was that since the army of Stone City had lost, why didn’t the people of this Stone City flee, but instead hid in panic and waited to become prisoners of the other side. And the people outside were even trying to escape into the city, was this sick? Di Jiu did not quite believe that these people were thinking the same way as he was.
In just under an incense stick, a group of tall soldiers like wolves and tigers rushed in.
