Zhou Xiaonian was a choice Cao Zhe made at a certain moment.
And this choice is not only related to the disappeared city and the phantoms in the city.
It is more related to the future...the future of this world.
Cao Zhe is destined to leave this world.
Not only him, but Gong Ruolin, Wang Defa, Gou Zi, Luo Feng, Zhang Bairen, and other competitors who have already become Optimus Prime in this world will all leave.
However, the vacuum left after these people leave needs to be filled in time.
Cao Zhe would not care about the change of secular dynasties.
But he needs a 'city defender' who is strong enough and determined enough to protect all the things he has created from being destroyed by external forces or internal chaos.
Zhou Xiaonian is one of the guardians chosen by Cao Zhe!
Of course, he can be said to be Cao Zhe's most promising candidate.
As for Zuo Zixiong, the powerful aboriginal warriors who had long since cultivated the Dharma Body and now even entered the Union Realm, Cao Zhe also had high hopes for them, but he would not bet his money on them.
Because everyone, including Zuo Zixiong, lacks some 'possibilities'.
Cao Zhe saw this possibility in Zhou Xiaonian.
At this moment, Cao Zhe started to speak, and Zhou Xiaonian was listening carefully.
One is sitting and one is standing.
Nearby are the scorching peach blossoms, and in the distance is the boundless snow scene.
There is no wind and snow under the trees, and the snow is far away.
Peach blossoms bloomed all over the branches, dotting the only color in the field of vision.
Gradually, during Cao Zhe's explanation, Zhou Xiaonian fell into a mysterious and mysterious state of understanding.
Back then, Cao Zhe taught him some basics and then left him alone.
Now in Zhou Xiaonian's martial arts practice, many principles have been felt in actual combat, but he lacks theoretical basis and has not summarized them and completely rationalized them.
Cao Zhe's sermons were guiding him to a certain extent.
Many times, many people will magnify the role of preaching, or on the contrary, think that so-called preaching is just empty talk and nonsense.
Such perceptions are all wrong.
Of course, preaching cannot replace practice. If you practice beforehand, you can then pass the preaching and enlightenment of someone with a higher realm, and cross the threshold in one fell swoop to reach a higher realm.
Those who have not first walked on the path of spiritual practice and accumulated their own merits will certainly define them as 'useless' if they hear more advanced sermons.
Being able to make stubborn people nod is the result of a saint's practice and merit. Cao Zhe doesn't have such ability just by opening his mouth.
"Knowing the male and guarding the female are the streams of the world."
"For the stream of the world, everlasting virtue will never leave. Everlasting virtue will never leave, and it will return to the baby."
"Knowing its glory and guarding its disgrace will be the valley of the world."
"For the valley of the world, constant virtue is sufficient. Constant virtue is sufficient. Return to simplicity."
"Knowing the whiteness and guarding the blackness is the way of the world."
"It is the way of the world, always virtuous but not too virtuous. Everlasting virtue but not too virtuous, return to Wuji."
"Plain powder is used as a tool, and when a sage uses it, he becomes an official. Therefore, there is no division in the system." Cao Zhe explained sentence by sentence, and finally summarized it with a few words from the Tao Te Ching and made a final conclusion.
At this time, Zhou Xiaonian had completely fallen into a state of silence that was almost dead. Something extremely tough was brewing in his body.
Although it is not strong enough yet, Cao Zhe believes that it will become strong sooner or later.
At this time, Cao Zhe became more and more aware of the reason why he chose Zhou Xiaonian.
Zuo Zixiong and the others are just recreating a certain aspect of him as a 'master'.
Only Zhou Xiaonian has always been himself on the road paved by Cao Zhe.
Zhou Xiaonian is a latecomer, but he may also become a forerunner.
The snow gradually fell, covering Zhou Xiaonian's body.
It seemed that he was the only one left in the lonely and vast world, gradually buried by the ruthless snow.
Day by day, month by month, year by year.
Time flies.
Zhou Xiaonian seemed to have fallen into a dream that was difficult to wake up from.
The snow on the top of the mountain has not bloomed for ten years, but the peach blossoms on the trees are always in full bloom.
When everything seems to be changing, it remains the same.
So what has the passing time brought and taken away?
Cao Zhe still lived his simple and unpretentious daily life.
At this time, the entire world was completely under his control and completely submissive.
If there were no foreign enemies, there would be almost nothing for him to do.
One of the two studies of spore life has been thoroughly completed.
Which one is accomplished, of course, is to 'castrate' the spore life and block its divisive nature.
This is relatively simple.
Taking physical and mental castration as the main methods, a variety of corresponding martial arts and spells have even been researched and developed.
He even deciphered the reason why spore life shields the secrets of heaven and cause and effect. Based on this, a series of methods of gathering breath, hiding gods, clones, and transformations have evolved.
Once again, the foundation of Martial Arts Mountain has been expanded.
Cao Zhe, on the other hand, was consciously distributing many of the classics stored in Martial Arts Mountain through different channels.
There are too many unique copies in Martial Arts Mountain, and the precious crystallization of wisdom may be completely destroyed in a sudden war.
Only by hiding knowledge among the people and being closely related to the lives of countless people can it be sustained for a longer period of time and even usher in new development.
Cao Zhe has never been a complacent or self-respecting person.
As for 'taming' spore life from one's own heart, there is only half progress at present.
That is to tame the 'established' spore life on a single body by using spells to tack gene locks.
But once a new complete individual is split, this individual is no longer controllable, and the original selfish and solipsistic characteristics of spore life are restored.
How to unify the instinctive desires of the spore life itself and completely tame it.
Researchers led by Dr. He have not been able to grasp that key point.
As for the 'wise man's guidance' of the random event generator, it will not work at all when used in such an extremely detailed place.
A wise man shows the way, simply provides a direction.
You still have to walk the path under your feet.
The competition summary has passed for the eighth time.
The third world integration in the 90th year is only a few years away.
Despite this, the competitors in the entire world...including those in the lower realms all maintain a calm mentality.
There are not many expectations for the coming world integration, and there is no sense of crisis.
This is the Master’s world!
This understanding is already the consensus of everyone.
No matter what kind of world integration is about to come, it is impossible to change this consensus.
Countless people, even more confident than Cao Zhe himself, are aware of this point.
Finally, when time advanced to the ninetieth year.
The third world fusion is coming.
This is also the final world fusion before the end of the second game.
After the world merges this time, ten years from now will be the end of the second race.
Everything about this world will come to an end temporarily.
