The Bronze Sword Ancestor's words made Master Lanyuan and Princess Chen look at each other involuntarily.
Li Xian couldn't help but whisper: "Senior, was this really like this before?"
At this time, in anyone's opinion, the current Bronze Sword Patriarch has nothing to do with arrogance and arrogance.
Today's Bronze Sword Patriarch is a very humble person in every aspect, even like the grandfather next door. As a quasi-emperor, he has no airs of quasi-emperor at all.
If it weren't for the fact that he is a quasi-emperor, has the aura of greatness, and is tall and tall, people would really not think that he is a quasi-emperor. He is just a humble and ordinary grandfather.
There is a humble old man in front of us. Can you imagine that when he was young, he was a powerful and arrogant person?
The Patriarch of the Bronze Sword couldn't help but smile and shake his head, and said: "That's because you haven't seen my appearance as a young man. If you had seen my appearance as a young man, you might think that I am even more annoying than my grandson. "
When the Patriarch of the Bronze Sword said this, he paused for a moment, then shook his head and said: "When I was young, I had no one left, and I looked down on the world. I was the best in the world. No one took me seriously. I looked like I was going to be evil. The way he walked..."
As he said that, thinking of his young and frivolous appearance, the Bronze Sword Ancestor couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Senior, back then, he was a peerless genius who was astonishing to everyone." Mr. Lan Yuan couldn't help but say.
Mr. Lan Yuan's words were not flattery, and what he said was indeed the truth.
The ancestor of the Bronze Sword back then was so talented and amazing. His talent was so high that no one could match it at that time. Although he is still in the realm of quasi-emperor, with that Estimating the cultivation speed of the times, if the Taoism of the Patriarch of the Bronze Sword has not stagnated, then today he is the existence of the Yuanzu, and he can definitely be proud of the world, and even dominate the old world.
When he was young, with the talent of the Bronze Sword Patriarch and his achievements, he could be called a young genius. With his success at a young age, it would not be an exaggeration to call him stunning in the world.
He has achieved such an achievement at a young age. It is normal for him to be arrogant and arrogant. When a person is young, no one has ever been frivolous. What's more, he is such a peerless genius. He is frivolous at a young age and looks down on the world. It is also completely There is nothing wrong with that.
"When I was young, I thought the same way." The Patriarch of Tongjian smiled and shook his head and said, "I also thought that I had the capital to be frivolous, that I had the capital to look down on the world, and that I would definitely become the Yuanzu in the future. It is an existence that can dominate the old world."
Having said this, Tongjian couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "I can only say that at that time, I was just a frog in the well, sitting in the well and looking at the sky."
The words of the Patriarch of the Bronze Sword made Master Lanyuan and the others look at each other. However, in that era, when the Patriarch of the Bronze Sword was young and successful, such a situation was normal, even It can be said that it is not an exaggeration to call it common sense. After all, the ancestor of the Bronze Sword was a peerless genius, and many people believed that he would definitely become the ancestor in the future.
"However, the seniors of that era were indeed unrivaled among their peers." Princess Chen couldn't help but say softly.
The ancestor of the Bronze Sword couldn't help but smile bitterly, shook his head gently, and said: "When I was young, I thought so. It was not until later, when I was old, that I realized some truth. The so-called talent, the so-called youth Genius is just a gift from God, I don’t have many achievements myself.”
"Not many achievements?" Li Xian couldn't help but be stunned for a moment and said, "Senior is already a quasi-emperor at a young age."
What Li Xian said was absolutely correct. After all, at that time, the Patriarch of the Bronze Sword was already a quasi-emperor. What an amazing thing. Being the youngest quasi-emperor was something that people should be proud of.
"Actually, it's nothing." The Patriarch of the Bronze Sword couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head.
"Uh--" The Patriarch of the Bronze Sword reduced his youth to nothing, leaving Young Master Lanyuan and Princess Chen stunned for a moment.
The Patriarch of Bronze Sword couldn't help but sigh softly and said: "When I was young, I had such achievements, how could I get much credit? I am not necessarily more diligent than others in cultivating Taoism. Everything is just But it's just natural talent, everything is just innate understanding, everything is just natural bloodline strength. These are all gifts from God. All these are the remaining power of the ancestors' bloodline. With such a good With the innate conditions, even a pig can become a quasi-emperor if he practices normally like me..."
"...I am just that lucky pig. I happened to be born into the Ling family. Not only do I have such a bloodline, not only do I have such talent, but also because the sword skills left by my ancestors are unrivaled in the world. It just allowed me to understand the mysteries of swordsmanship through analogy during the process of practicing Taoism."
Mr. Lanyuan and Princess Chen couldn't help but be stunned by the words of the Bronze Sword Ancestor. For a moment, they couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
The ancestor of the Bronze Sword couldn't help but sigh softly and said: "Actually, when I was young, I had nothing to be proud of. It was just that my life was good. I was making great progress all the way. In the first half of my life, it was smooth sailing, and everything was smooth sailing. It's just the shelter of my ancestors. Even if I became a quasi-emperor, I have never put in more effort or more hardship than others. In fact, ordinary monks have experienced more setbacks than me. More, more failures than I have endured. They may have put in more blood and sweat. They even struggled to survive at the end of their lives, but they were still able to achieve good results in the end. At that time, they were above the Taoist heart. , they far surpass me, even after experiencing failure again and again, they are still unyielding."
"It wasn't until later that the road came to a standstill that I was hit." The Patriarch of the Bronze Sword suddenly laughed out loud when he mentioned the misfortune of the past, and said, "I'm not afraid of your jokes. When I was young, I had everything going smoothly and thought that I was not the Yuanzu. Attribution, the bottleneck of the Dao can be broken at the first touch. However, when you really want to realize the Dao and Fruit, you really hit the iron plate. After trying several times in a row, you were knocked down. At that time, you said My heart was about to burst. When I failed the first time, I thought I was wrong. When I failed the second time, I thought I could try again. When I failed the third time, I completely collapsed..."
"...I can't believe it. It's hard to accept such a failure. When I suddenly can't accept the failure, I feel that I am worthless. When my Taoist heart collapses, my whole person loses confidence and is unable to recover. I even think of committing suicide. I already have them all, but I can’t bear such a failure, I feel like the sky is falling, I can’t bear the shame.”
"That's such an ignorant and arrogant mentality. You think you are just a shallow idiot." Speaking of this, the ancestor of Bronze Sword said with emotion.
Hearing the words of the Patriarch of Tongjian, Master Lanyuan and Princess Chen could not help but be stunned.
Who would have thought that the once arrogant genius would have such an embarrassing psychological experience and such an embarrassing past. Moreover, at the time when he was most proud of his life, after experiencing blow after blow, his heart was broken. Although today's bronze sword The ancestor said it calmly, but for him at that time, it was so uncomfortable and dark.
"I have endured this period for hundreds of years. Later, when I thought about it carefully, I realized that I had never suffered any blows. I took all success for granted and thought that I was unparalleled." The ancestor of Bronze Sword He smiled bitterly and said: "To put it bluntly, compared to other monks, I have not done more, nor have I paid more. The so-called talent, so-called understanding, and so-called bloodline are all innate. , it is not due to my own merit. If anyone has such conditions, he can also become the youngest quasi-emperor in the contemporary era. There is nothing to be proud of. I am just sitting on a tall building, thinking that I can compare with the sky. He is just a frog in a well who is even taller."
"It's a good thing to have such an awakening." Li Qiye smiled lightly and said: "After you awaken, it is not too late to correct your shortcomings in the Dao and re-consolidate your Dao foundation."
"Young Master also knows." Li Qiye said this, and the Bronze Sword Ancestor couldn't help but be surprised.
Li Qiye smiled and said calmly: "Your Dao is almost complete. You are ready to go and prove the Dao Fruit."
Li Qiye's words shocked the Bronze Sword Ancestor for a moment, and he looked at Li Qiye with some surprise.
"How do you know?" Princess Chen couldn't help but wonder, and she couldn't help but glance at the Bronze Sword Ancestor, but they couldn't see any clues.
Li Qiye just smiled.
"Senior is about to realize the Taoist Fruit." Master Lanyuan couldn't help but say, "I will finally become the Great Emperor."
At this time, Young Master Lanyuan couldn't help but be happy for the Bronze Sword Ancestor.
"Young Master is right, I am ready to realize the Taoist Fruit." The Patriarch of Tongjian couldn't help but said with emotion: "Back then, after the Taoist heart collapsed, I was also depressed for hundreds of years. My whole person was decadent, and I drank as much as I could every day. Mud. To say the least, it is really embarrassing. Just such a small setback can make me so vulnerable. It took me hundreds of years of suffering before I came out of the darkness."
Having said this, the Patriarch of the Bronze Sword could not help but sigh softly and said: "After surviving this darkness, I realized how fragile my Taoist heart is. When the Taoist heart and Taoist conduct do not match, the Taoist conduct will inevitably stagnate. Not forward."
