Chapter 1131

After returning to the Wuji Sect, Zi Chen immediately went to find the old man, but the old man was not at his residence. It was said that he had gone to the Medicine Refinery Peak.

"Medicine Refinery Peak."

Zi Chen slightly creased his brows but soon felt relieved. The other party must have gone to Medicine Refinery Peak to look for Senior Cauldron Spirit. Cauldron Spirit was an existence that had lived for eons and this person was a Heavenly Yuan expert. They might be old friends.

Li Daoxing had indeed come to look for Cauldron Spirit.

However, Zi Chen's guess that the two were old friends was not accurate, because as soon as they arrived, Li Daoxing bowed to the Wuji Danding.

"Greetings, Senior."

After a flash of light, Cauldron Spirit appeared. He looked at Li Daoxing with furrowed brows. Clearly, he didn't recognize him.

"Senior, it's me, Xiao Dao Xing. I was an outer sect elder back then. I made a huge mistake and was expelled from the sect," Li Dao Xing said respectfully and excitedly.

"It's you, Xing Dao Li."

Cauldron Spirit's eyes flickered with radiance. He laughed heartily and said, "So it's you. The great name of Punishing Saber Li was a household name back then."

Xing Dao Li said awkwardly, "Senior, you flatter me. If Senior did not plead for mercy on my behalf, I would have lost my life long ago and not just been expelled from the sect."

Cauldron Spirit waved his hand and said, "This is my fault. How can I punish you?"

"No, it is senior who is benevolent," said Xing Dao Li.

"Alright, the Boundless Sect is no more, and we haven't seen each other in so many years, so there's no need to be so polite. Come, accompany me inside."

Cauldron Spirit walked towards the grand hall not far away with Xing Daoli following behind. When they arrived at the grand hall, Xing Daoli hastily wiped a chair with his sleeve and gestured for Cauldron Spirit to take a seat.

"That's enough. Look at yourself. You're already so old. You're no longer young. Let's just talk to each other as equals," said Cauldron Spirit smilingly. Soon enough, the maids served tea and snacks. Cauldron Spirit personally poured a cup of tea for Xing Daoli.

"Xiao Dao Xing wouldn't dare." Xing Dao Li was flattered.

"Back then, you would slash anyone you didn't like. You even dared to slash the patriarchs of those major powers. Why wouldn't you dare?" Cauldron Spirit's smile widened as he recalled the past.

Xing Dao Li said awkwardly, "That was many years ago."

Cauldron Spirit looked at Xing Dao Li and said, "You must be here to help Zi Chen resolve his crisis."

Xing Dao Li nodded and said, "That's right. Although the Wuji Sect was destroyed, Zi Chen established the Wuji Sect again. Since I'm here, I can't just watch the Wuji Sect be destroyed. The commotion in the Holy Burial Ground was too big. It killed all the cultivators above the Earth Prime Stage, forcing me to leave. I only came back today and sensed Senior's presence. Otherwise, I would have come to greet Senior already."

"Fortunately, you have appeared. Otherwise, the Wuji Sect would have been in real danger. Come, have a taste. This is good stuff." Cauldron Spirit picked up a teacup. A faint fragrance filled the air.

Xing Dao Li answered and picked up the teacup. He said, "There shouldn't be any danger. At least, there shouldn't be any danger today. Moreover, those major powers will suffer great losses. Their Heavenly Origin Stage and Earthly Origin Stage experts have all left. They won't be able to do anything to the Wuji Sect in a short period of time. But then again, Zi Chen has established the Wuji Sect less than five hundred years ago.

Cauldron Spirit put down the teacup and said, "This little guy is indeed extraordinary. He has the same demeanor as you did back then."

Xing Dao Li poured some water into Cauldron Spirit's teacup. After pouring the water, he shook his head and said, "I have been roaming the mortal realm for the past few years and I have some understanding of Zi Chen. To be honest, I really can't compare with him. Just the history of his growth alone is enough to put me to shame. Most importantly, not only is he brave, he is also resourceful, which is hard to come by.

None of his friends are ordinary people. "" It has been many years since we last met. Who would have thought that the Xing Dao Li who used to brandish his blade and slash at random would have learned to be humble today. "

"I'm not being humble. It's the truth. I am just an ordinary person. Zi Chen is different. Although I can't divine the direction of his destiny, I believe that he will be an extraordinary person in the future. Moreover, every time he was in danger, he would have a benefactor helping him.

Cauldron Spirit smiled and said, "You have saved him and his Everlasting Sect. You are also his benefactor."

Xing Dao Li shook his head again and said, "I only came to lend a helping hand because I had a sudden inspiration. I can't be considered a benefactor. Besides, the Everlasting Sect had nurtured me back then. I have always felt guilty for not participating in the final battle. Although this Everlasting Sect is not the same Everlasting Sect, I am repaying my debt of gratitude."

"You are very considerate."

Cauldron Spirit nodded. He then asked about Xing Dao Li's recent situation.

The two chatted happily. Finally, when they talked about the Everlasting Sect, Cauldron Spirit asked, "Did the Everlasting Sect really perish back then?"

Xing Dao Li found it strange and asked, "Senior, you don't know?"

Cauldron Spirit smiled and said, "How would I know? Back then, not long after the main army left, the entire Everlasting Sect was met with a devastating calamity. All the forces wanted to come and get a share of the loot. The great defensive formation of the sect did not last long before it was broken. Seeing that the situation was not good, I brought Dan Ding into the pocket world and sealed it for ten thousand years. I thought that they would open the pocket world after they returned. But after ten thousand years, no one came. I knew that the Everlasting Sect was finished."

"It's all because of those bastards back then. Otherwise, how could the Everlasting Sect have been destroyed? So many experts were sent to attack the Lightning Divine Palace. Is that plaything something that can be opened so easily? That bastard Sect Master is the same. So many people advised him to wait a little longer, but he stubbornly insisted on going his own way and fell into a trap. He deserves it."

Xing Dao Li was furious and heartbroken.

Cauldron Spirit smiled and said no more.

Xing Dao Li took a short pause before he continued, "Although the Everlasting Sect has indeed been destroyed, there were simply too many experts back then. So many that even the Five Elemental Powers felt threatened. Otherwise, they wouldn't have schemed against the Everlasting Sect. I have often wondered how so many experts could have died all of a sudden. And as for Sect Master, although I have always hated his way of doing things, he didn't seem to have a short lifespan. Later on, I speculated that some of them might still be alive."

Cauldron Spirit said, "You mean that they have gone to another world."

"That's just my guess. I have only been to that world once over the years. I have never met anyone."

"That world is so big. It's easier said than done to meet someone you know without the exact coordinates," Cauldron Spirit shook his head and smiled.

A trace of hesitation appeared on Xing Dao Li's face. He seemed to have something to say.

"Ask away if you have any questions."

"I heard that you came from that world."

"That's not a secret. Why are you hesitating for so long?"

"In that case, you should know which of these two worlds is the main world. Truth be told, I came here today because I have a request. That is, I wish to know which one is the main world. Senior, please tell me," Xing Dao Li pleaded.

"Why are you asking this question?" Cauldron Spirit asked puzzledly.

"I have been stuck at that bottleneck for tens of thousands of years. I have been wandering between the two worlds. Not only am I unable to find the answer, but as time passes, I even have the feeling that I will get lost in this world. For the past several thousand years, I have been moving about in this world. I have been an ordinary person, doing business, being a city lord, being a Sect Master of a large sect, being an elder, and so on. But I have never found the answer.

Cauldron Spirit smiled and said, "I am just a medicine refiner. How can I help you? In this world, every cultivator will encounter bottlenecks. Some will encounter bottlenecks in the True Energy realm while some will encounter bottlenecks in the Xiantian realm. After overcoming one bottleneck, you will soon discover another bottleneck. It is like climbing a mountain. When you reach the summit, you will discover that there is an even taller mountain not far away."

"I understand what you are saying. But in the world of cultivators, after reaching the Earthly Yuan realm, you are no longer climbing mountains, but building mountains," Cauldron Spirit said.

"The principle is actually the same. As for why you got lost in the two worlds because of such a simple problem, it is because you are thinking too much and being too greedy."

Xing Dao Li put on a puzzled face and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Think about it. If you are a child and you are asked to eat an adult's portion for a meal, what will happen to you?"

Xing Dao Li was once an ordinary person. Therefore, without thinking, he said, "You will feel bloated and uncomfortable."

"That's right. You will feel bloated and uncomfortable because it is beyond your ability to digest. But think about it, what if you are asked to eat two or even three servings for an adult?"

This time, before Xing Dao Li could answer, Cauldron Spirit said, "You will die. You will die if you eat too much."

Xing Dao Li seemed to be deep in thought.

"The reason you got lost is because what you are pursuing is beyond your ability. It is like how a child eats and a cultivator cultivates. Those with talent will naturally grow faster. Take Zi Chen for example. His strike could touch the barrier of the natural laws. I believe that the strike of most Earthly Yuan realm experts would not be able to touch the barrier. But when Zi Chen needs to make a choice, he will have many choices. At the same time, he can afford to give up on some of them."

Xing Dao Li raised his head and asked, "Senior, are you saying that I am not strong enough?"

"You can understand it that way, but you can't understand it that way. Forget it. It is hard to explain. Besides, I have never experienced it myself. Since you asked me which world is the primary world, I can only say that I don't know. Because the world is the earliest to form. If there is a God, he is the only one who knows which world is the primary world and which is the secondary world."

"Even you don't know. But they all say that you are the most ancient existence in this world."

"Even if it is ancient, it is still ancient. But in this world, your question is just like the question of chicken and egg. There will never be an accurate answer because there is no way to verify it."

"But which one do you think came first?"

Cauldron Spirit shook its head in response to Xing Dao Li's incessant questioning and said, "It's not about which one I think came first. It's your own opinion. If you think the chicken came first, then the chicken came before the egg. It all depends on your heart."

"But this world doesn't recognize what I see. It thinks that what I see is fake."

Cauldron Spirit smiled and said, "Why do you need the world to recognize it? Just recognize it yourself."
