Chapter 329 I am the Way
On the islands of the South China Sea, the exploration of 'Chaos' continues.
Judging from His intentions, He is determined to break the 'cage' that has imprisoned Him for over a year.
Although the four women, including Xian'er, tried their best to conceal Li Jie's exposed aura, the Daoist charm emanating from him was simply too powerful, and Chaos eventually detected a trace of his exposed energy.
"Where is it...?"
"But why... do I always have this feeling that he's different from before..."
Chaos truly lived up to its reputation as a god who transcended the rules of this world. Li Jie merely emitted a trace of an unusual aura, yet it was clearly detected by Him.
On the other hand, the four girls, including Xian'er, all looked rather pale because...
Once Chaos discovered them, it never looked away from its mocking gaze.
"Are you still going to hide? Why don't you come out and see your old friends?"
"We have nothing to talk to you about."
Yes, now that Chaos has discovered them, there is no longer any need to hide them.
Xian'er gave Xiao Jue a look, and the latter understood and removed the disguise of the Jue Xian Sword.
"The Four Swords of Zhuxian..."
"Wow, everyone's here..."
"Unfortunately, the array plate collapsed in that battle, and the one wielding the sword was not one of the Three Pure Ones..."
"Otherwise, I might really have failed here today."
After sensing it for a moment, Chaos understood.
Although these four immortal swords have been restored to their peak condition.
However, the Immortal Slaughtering Array Plate, which enabled the four swords to unite, had collapsed, and the wielder of the swords was pitifully weak...
It seems... nothing can stop me now...
However, since you've all been besieging me for a year, shouldn't I give you a big gift in return?
Upon realizing this, the Chaos hidden in the darkness gave a sinister smile and murmured softly.
"That kid must be the current leader of the Four Swords..."
"Let me see... the mark on your natal flying sword?"
"Not bad, not bad... If I were to possess him..."
"Does that mean I'm the current master of the Four Swords of Zhuxian?"
"Hehehe... That's really good..."
Although the chaotic voice was barely audible, Xian'er and the others could still feel the unease that lurked in their backs.
If nothing unexpected happens, Chaos should have sensed the relationship between the four of them and Li Jie.
Once they possess Li Jie, who is in a state of enlightenment, even if they still have the strength to fight, they would never dare to attack their own swords.
What a great move!
"Protect Li Jie! That bastard's target is him!"
"Did you notice? Too late!"
After saying that, Chaos transformed into a cloud of pitch-black mist, rushing straight towards Li Jie, who was sitting cross-legged in mid-air.
Seeing this, the four fairy girls hurriedly swung their swords to defend, but apart from the Immortal Slaughtering Sword causing a slight slowdown to Chaos's movements, the other three immortal swords were as if they were hitting cotton and could not withstand any force.
"The laws of death are indeed peculiar..."
"But it's okay, it'll be mine soon..."
During the conversation, the chaos had already disappeared into Li Jie's body.
"Oops!!"
.........
Within his Qi Sea, Li Jie sat cross-legged on a lotus platform, discussing the Dao with the white-haired phantom formed from golden light.
Just as that golden phantom asked for the last time, "What is the Dao?"
Li Jie suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes.
Within a year, he had given every answer he could think of.
But each time the answer was "biased".
This almost caused him to have a mental breakdown. Coincidentally, just when he was on the verge of collapse, a calming array would always land precisely on the lotus platform.
And this last inquiry was exactly the nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-ninth inquiry.
Li Jie's eyes went from confusion to struggle, then from struggle to determination, and finally...
He calmly looked at the golden phantom in front of him and softly uttered three words.
"I am the Way."
“How come you see?”
If there were anyone else here, they would have heard that the golden phantom seemed to breathe a sigh of relief when it said those words.
"There is no fixed method for seeking immortality and the Dao. All things in the world are paths to seek the Dao. However, the true essence of the Dao lies in the heart. When the heart is upright, the Dao is upright; when the heart is evil, the Dao is evil. We who seek the Dao should take good intentions as our foundation and care for all living beings. Thus, at the end of the Dao, we seek to see our true selves."
Therefore, I, a junior, say: I am the Way.
"What if one day your body is maliciously violated?"
"With the righteous spirit in my heart and the thought of all living beings, I will transform into a sword to shatter illusions and cut away the gloom in my heart..."
"So good."
After saying that, the golden phantom suddenly stood up and walked towards the lotus platform where Li Jie was.
"May my young friend remain steadfast in his convictions."
"It's almost time, you... should wake up."
Then, the golden phantom raised its arm and gently patted Li Jie's forehead.
The Daoist aura surrounding his Qi Sea flowed back into Li Jie's body like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea.
The interior, surrounded by gold, gradually faded, revealing a dark and dilapidated scene.
Upon seeing this, Li Jie was stunned. Was this still the same Qi Sea I had before?
Just as he was in a daze, the golden phantom gently patted his shoulder.
"Young man, now is the time for you to rid yourself of evil thoughts. Don't disappoint this old man..."
After speaking, the golden phantom gradually faded and disappeared forever into the world.
Li Jie's blank gaze hardened, and with the reminder from the golden phantom, he recognized that the evil aura swirling in his dantian originated from chaos.
Since that's the case...
He raised his hand and gently beckoned, and the four natal flying sword imprints hidden beneath the lotus platform suddenly burst forth with mysterious light. Immediately afterwards, the four laws symbolizing slaughter, death, space, and concealment were gently peeled away by the mysterious Daoist charm released by Li Jie.
As the light swirled, it gradually coalesced in Li Jie's hand into a long, glazed sword.
Welcome to my world... Chaos!
In an instant, Chaos, who was stripping Li Jie of control over his body, frowned. This thought...
Is that kid?
That's not right...
I checked him when I first entered this body. He's currently in a state of astral projection. With my evil essence blocking the way, there shouldn't be any possibility of his soul re-entering the body.
Where did this sound come from?
no.......
It's best to double-check, lest we end up making a mess of things!
Regaining its composure, Chaos temporarily relinquished control over Li Jie's brain, transforming into black smoke that swirled within Li Jie's body.
