After hearing Chen Muyu's words, the old man didn't say much.
He doesn't seem to care much about matters outside the territory.
"Is that the person who sent you here this time?" the old man asked lightly.
Chen Muyu shook his head, "No, he and I have no superior-subordinate relationship. Moreover, he has encountered something now and has too much time to take care of himself. I came here today simply to meet you, fellow Taoist."
The old man said, "Whatever you want to say, just say it."
Chen Muyu stopped beating around the bush, "From what I can see, fellow Taoist, in terms of your realm, you should have comprehended almost 10 laws of origin. I would like to ask, fellow Taoist, you have comprehended so many origins, why haven't you made a breakthrough yet?"
The old man frowned slightly when he heard this.
Chen Muyu smiled sarcastically, "Fellow Taoist, please don't get me wrong. Outside the territory, under normal circumstances, those who understand the origin of 30,000 or 40,000 Tao will try to break the Tao. However, some people with outstanding talents cannot even use the origin of 30,000 Tao. Therefore, fellow Taoist Your current situation is really rare..."
"You seem to be very interested in me?" The old man did not directly answer Chen Muyu's question.
Chen Muyu said, "I believe fellow Taoists have also noticed it. I have just completed the realization of the 40,000 Tao origins. Logically speaking, I should be able to try to break the Tao. But before I broke through, I felt a little uneasy and feared some hidden dangers, so I came to find the Tao." Please discuss this with me."
The old man stared at Chen Muyu for a while, and then said, "Since there are so many powerful men in the extreme realm outside the territory, and you know that King Taihao, why don't you go to him and come to me instead?"
Chen Muyu sighed, "I don't want to hide it from fellow Taoists. There are many powerful people in the Holy Lord Realm outside the territory, but these existences basically reject the birth of the new Holy Lord Realm. If I go to find him, I might There is only one outcome: I will be killed by him before I can break through..."
"oh?"
The old man raised his eyebrows, "Is this strong man from outside the territory so cruel?"
"The law of the jungle remains unchanged. They want to maintain their rights and status, and naturally they will not allow the emergence of entities that threaten their rights and status."
Chen Muyu shook his head, "So, after much deliberation, I have no choice but to come to you, my Taoist friend. Your strength is enough to compete with those in the Holy Lord Realm. Moreover, you and I both face the problem of breaking the Tao. In some ways, it can be regarded as a community of interests.”
The old man listened and remained silent.
Chen Muyu said, "Fellow Taoist has now comprehended the original law, nearly 100,000 ways. With this, it can be said that it is very sure to break the Tao. I don't understand why fellow Taoist does not choose to prove the Tao. Is it because he is unwilling or because he wants to You have never left this world, so you don’t know how to break the path?”
The old man still didn't speak.
Chen Muyu said, "I don't understand why you don't choose to prove the Tao, but if your fellow Taoists just don't know how to break the Tao, I can help you clear up your doubts."
Hearing this, the old man raised his eyebrows slightly, "What is your purpose?"
There is no free lunch in this world.
Did Chen Muyu come all the way here, taking such a big risk, just to tell him how to break the Tao?
There must be some agenda. He didn't expect Chen Muyu to be a good person who was willing to help others without expecting anything in return.
Chen Muyu smiled, "Let me tell you the truth, fellow Taoist, although I know the method of breaking the path, I don't know what kind of vision will happen when the path is broken. Maybe there will be a strong person in the Holy Lord realm who will show up to stop it. If you break the path rashly, you may be in danger of falling..."
"So, you want to test me first?" The old man didn't hesitate.
Chen Muyu was a little embarrassed, but at this time, he did not deny it, "I am not afraid of fellow Taoist jokes. I do have this idea. Fellow Taoist, you are very powerful. Even if a powerful person from the Holy Lord realm comes to your door, you should be able to handle it. so……"
"hehe."
The old man chuckled, "No, no, I have a better idea."
"Oh?" Chen Muyu looked at him in surprise.
The old man said, "Fellow Taoist, you can break the path here, and I will protect you."
After speaking, he looked directly at Chen Muyu.
this……
Chen Muyu hesitated.
Let me break the path and he will protect me?
If he sincerely protects me, it would be feasible. After all, this person is very powerful and can fight against a strong person in the Holy Lord Realm.
But, can I trust you?
It's just a chance meeting, how could I possibly trust you?
"What do fellow Taoists think?" the old man asked.
You want to test me, but I'm not a fool. I know it's dangerous, but I still do it?
So, why not let me experiment with you too.
It just so happens that I want to verify whether your so-called method of breaking the Tao is true.
Anyway, even if you break the Tao and achieve the Holy Lord realm, I can still handle you.
Therefore, this question was directly thrown back to Chen Muyu.
Chen Muyu took a deep breath and said, "Fellow Taoist, it's too hasty for me to break the Dao. Why don't I talk about the method of breaking the Dao first?"
Of course, Chen Muyu would not be fooled. Before he understood the specific impact of breaking the path, he would definitely not take risks easily.
Therefore, he just told the method of breaking the Tao. With this person's strength, once he knew the method of breaking the Tao, there was no reason why he wouldn't try it.
Hearing this, the old man waved his hand.
"You don't have to say it. I know the so-called method of breaking the Tao better than you." The old man sighed.
"Oh?" Chen Muyu looked at him in astonishment.
The old man smiled calmly, "I bear the inheritance of Holy Lord Kunlun, how can I not know that the method of breaking the Tao is nothing more than condensing the origin."
Chen Muyu was shocked. It turned out that he knew.
"Since Taoist friends know how to break the Tao, why don't you try to break the Tao? You must know that although there is only one word difference between the Holy Lord Realm and the Holy King Realm, they are actually very different."
Chen Muyu expressed his confusion. Could it be that this being, like Ancestor Min, was burdened with a curse?
"Ha ha."
The old man laughed, "You are right, it's just a word difference, but with my current strength, can't I also compete with the Holy Lord Realm?"
"But, after all, they are still two different realms. With your strength, fellow Taoist, if you break through, your strength will definitely be greatly improved..." Chen Muyu said.
The old man shook his head gently, "It's not that I don't want to break through, it's just that the path I take is different."
A different path?
Chen Muyu was stunned. Why is the path different?
"Please ask fellow Taoist to clarify my doubts."
After waking up, Chen Muyu cupped his hands towards the old man.
The old man didn't seem to want to say anything.
Chen Muyu said, "Fellow Taoist, is there some secret that you can't tell and I can't hear?"
The old man hesitated for a long time, and looked at Chen Muyu for a long time, with a pair of eyes that seemed to pierce through Chen Muyu.
"My inheritance tells me that you also have the inheritance from a certain Holy Lord, but it is very thin."
The old man spoke eloquently, "If I guessed correctly, you, like me, should have come out of the inner world of a certain Holy Lord realm powerhouse, right?"
Chen Muyu's heart skipped a beat.
Can you see this?
This old man is really not simple.
At this point, there is no point in denying it.
Chen Muyu nodded, "Fellow Taoist is indeed very discerning. This matter has always been my biggest secret. People like you and me, walking outside the territory, will be killed immediately once they are known by these powerful Saint Lord Realm... …”
With a bit of a wry smile and helplessness, I wanted to have some sympathy with this old man, or in other words, feel sympathy for each other.
"Which Holy Lord's inner world do you come from?" the old man asked lightly.
Chen Muyu took a deep breath and said, "My realm is called Hongmeng Realm."
"Hongmeng?"
When the old man heard this, his eyes were a little misty.
"Do you know Hongmeng, fellow Taoist?" Chen Muyu asked immediately.
The old man was noncommittal and looked away from Chen Muyu, "The so-called method of breaking the Tao is indeed the only way to condense the origin..."
Directly changing the topic and not continuing on the issue of Chen Muyu's identity, the old man directly talked about the method of breaking the Tao.
"However, there are different ways to take this path." The old man said slowly.
Chen Muyu sat upright and listened attentively.
What this man obtained was the inheritance of Holy Lord Kunlun. Although he didn’t know who Holy Lord Kunlun was, it can be imagined that this old man could cultivate to the 99th level, and he was definitely an extraordinary figure.
The old man continued, "Condensing the source requires the consumption of the source. For monks, the consumption of the source means a decrease in strength. However, if you can give it a try and the source is successfully condensed, no matter how much consumption you spend, it will be worth it. , but have you ever thought about why condensing the origin has a success rate?"
"Um?"
Chen Muyu frowned slightly. He had never thought about this problem.
The old man said, "Condensing the origin not only has a success rate, but also, the more origins you understand, the higher the success rate..."
Chen Muyu nodded repeatedly. He seemed to have captured something, but he couldn't tell exactly what he had captured.
The old man continued, "Just imagine, if you continue to understand the origin, and when the number of origins you have comprehended reaches an extremely considerable amount, will the success rate be absolutely certain?"
Chen Muyu's eyes moved slightly, "But what's the point? Even if I understand more of the origin and increase the success rate, isn't the ultimate goal just to break the path? Understanding the origin will consume a lot of time and energy. If I can Why not break through in advance? It’s nothing more than a gamble on luck.”
In Chen Muyu's view, there is no point in pursuing a 100% success rate. It is just a waste of time.
If you think of Po Dao as a lottery.
If you are given one hundred lottery opportunities today, the probability of winning is only 10%. But if you are told that you save the lottery opportunities for tomorrow, the probability of winning is 100%.
I believe that most people will choose to use their lottery opportunities today, because I have a great hope of winning today. There is no need to wait for this day, which is simply meaningless.
"you're right."
The old man did not deny Chen Muyu's statement, "Many people would choose like you to gamble on this luck, but I won't."
"Why?" Chen Muyu was very puzzled.
The old man said calmly, "Because I want to prove the Tao with my strength."
"Oh?" Chen Muyu looked at him in surprise.
The old man said, "Do you know the limit of original understanding?"
Chen Muyu shook his head, "I have heard of only one person who has comprehended the most origins. Ancestor Min of the Luo Ye tribe. He comprehended a hundred thousand origins, but because of the curse on his body, he failed when condensing the origins. , a total of 50,000 origins were lost."
Hearing this, the old man raised his eyebrows in surprise, "This man is also a man of great perseverance, but it's a pity, it's quite a pity."
Chen Muyu just looked at the old man in front of him, waiting for his next words, not knowing what pity he meant.
The old man said, "If he had persisted, maybe this would not have been the result."
Chen Muyu was even more puzzled, "What do fellow Taoists mean by this?"
The old man smiled slightly, "100,000 origins is the limit for a strong person in the Holy King Realm. However, if you can surpass this limit and understand the 100,001th origin, then the origin will automatically condense and break the path naturally..."
"Oh?" Chen Muyu was surprised.
The old man said, "The current method of condensing the origin is just to use 1,000 origins to condense a stronger origin. However, according to the method I said, 100,001 origins will be combined into one. Haha, by then, in the Holy Lord Realm, They are all invincible..."
Chen Muyu opened his mouth slightly.
The old man's words made him quite surprised.
Slightly sluggish, Chen Muyu was considering the feasibility of what he said.
"So, fellow Taoist is just waiting to understand the 100,001th origin?" After a long time, Chen Muyu came back to his senses.
The old man did not deny it, "This is the path I chose. As for how you choose, I have no control over it."
Having said this, the old man paused and continued, "Actually, even if you follow my path, even if you break through, you will only be in the Holy Lord realm, but it is just more powerful than the ordinary Holy Lord realm. You can weigh the middle by yourself. Gains and losses..."
"With your current level, the success rate of breaking the Dao is still very high. I can help you protect the law. Of course, if too many powerful people from the Holy Lord realm come, I will have no choice but to protect myself."
"You can also continue to understand the origin like me, but this process is extremely long, and after reaching the limit of 100,000, it may be difficult to understand the 100,001th origin. After all, that is breaking through the limit. "
Chen Muyu frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Of course, if you can prove the Tao with strength, I think it will be worth wasting some time now. After all, the cultivation of the Holy Lord Realm is probably more difficult. Work harder now to avoid hard work in the future..."
After speaking, the old man touched the beard on his chin and looked at Chen Muyu calmly.
Chen Muyu pondered for a long time, and he had to say that what the old man said made his outlook a little shaken.
"Thanks for the advice, fellow Taoist."
After a long time, Chen Muyu came back to his senses and bowed to the old man.
I really learned a lesson.
The old man smiled and said, "It's not about giving advice, it's just about discussing with each other."
"I have one more question."
Chen Muyu immediately asked again, "Fellow Daoist, I once fought against King Taihao, and I don't know if I used all my strength. Now, who is stronger between you and King Taihao?"
