Chapter 1132

When it came to the edicts of a world, there were some things that commanded respect and reverence. This was the case for Xing Dao Li and Cauldron Spirit.

Although the two appeared to be discussing the chicken and the egg, they were actually discussing the edicts of a world.

Xing Dao Li still could not understand even after talking for a long time. His vision was still shrouded in fog. This question had troubled him for tens of thousands of years. There were many Heavenly Origin Realm experts in this world who were troubled by the same question.

It was impossible for him to change his view of the world just because of a few words from Cauldron Spirit. Similarly, it was impossible for him to be enlightened and make a breakthrough in his realm just because of a few words from Cauldron Spirit.

Furthermore, Cauldron Spirit himself did not know much about the edicts of a world. All he talked about were his insights and experiences over the years. Seeing that Xing Dao Li still could not understand, Cauldron Spirit spread his hands helplessly and said, "You see, there are so many things that you don't understand. In fact, the more I talk, the more confused I become. This is something that you should be worrying about. Don't let this old man be confused."

Xing Dao Li was still grateful to Cauldron Spirit even though Cauldron Spirit did not answer his question. After the two chatted for a while longer, Xing Dao Li got up and took his leave. As soon as he returned to his residence, Zi Chen who had received the news rushed over.

Zi Chen knocked on the door and entered. When he saw Xing Dao Li who was deep in thought, he stood there and did not immediately speak.

It was only after a while that Xing Dao Li noticed Zi Chen. He asked, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

Zi Chen respectfully saluted and asked, "Senior, may I know what I need to prepare for the peace talks?"

Xing Dao Li did not understand the problem of the world and he had not figured out the problem of the egg. The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. Xing Dao Li was about to put these questions aside when he heard Zi Chen's question. He put on a playful smile and said, "Prepare? What do you need to prepare? Aren't you just waiting for the other side to raise the price?"

Zi Chen put on an awkward smile and said, "I just want to know the details. Is there anything I need to pay attention to? Or does Senior have any instructions?"

Zi Chen's question was to see if there was a bottom line for the senior. He did not ask directly, but fortunately, Xing Dao Li understood. He waved his hand and said, "There are no instructions. Everything is up to you. Just follow your heart."

"Thank you, Senior," after receiving a satisfactory answer, Zi Chen expressed his gratitude and took his leave..

"Wait." Xing Dao Li suddenly said.

Zi Chen stopped and looked at Xing Dao Li in confusion. Xing Dao Li also looked at Zi Chen and asked seriously, "Do you know which came first, the chicken or the egg?"

Zi Chen was stunned by this question. He scratched his head, not knowing how to answer.

"Just follow your heart. It's fine. Just treat it as chatting," Xing Dao Li said.

Zi Chen nodded, then thought for a moment and said, "It should be the chicken first, no, the egg first. Ah, the chicken lays the egg, and the egg hatches the chicken. That's still not right."

This was a question that Zi Chen had never considered before. At this moment, he was also puzzled. However, when he saw Xing Dao Li's eager eyes, it was obvious that he wanted an answer no matter what. Thus, Zi Chen came to a realization and said, "Yes, I understand. To be precise, there should be eggs first."

"There were eggs first." Xing Dao Li was startled by this, and the expression on his face became even more confused.

Zi Chen explained, "That's right. Whether it was the chicken or the egg first, it doesn't make sense. So, what makes sense is that the egg came first."

"But does the egg mean that there was both a chicken and an egg at the same time?"

Xing Dao Li was like a student who was seeking knowledge, but he was asking a childish question. However, his expression was so serious.

Zi Chen couldn't help but laugh and said, "Senior, you are so funny. You even believe this. How would I know which came first? If you really want to know the answer, you have to ask the first chicken, or the first egg, or ask the egg. However, I don't recommend you do that, because there is no point in being serious. Moreover, there is not much point in knowing."

"How do you know it is meaningless? What if you insist on getting the answer?" Xing Dao Li asked again.

"If you insist on getting the answer, then it's hard to say. There is the egg first." Zi Chen smiled.

"Let's get down to business. If you don't even understand one, how can you possibly have both?" Xing Dao Li said unhappily.

Upon seeing Xing Dao Li so serious that he had dug himself into a dead end, Zi Chen said without even thinking, "There was the chicken first."

"Why?"

"Because I don't like to eat eggs, and I'm quite good at roasting chicken. I like to eat chicken, so I believe that there was the chicken first."

This answer obviously didn't satisfy Xing Dao Li, so Zi Chen added, "Of course, the main reason I came to this conclusion is because I was happy."

"Happy."

"Yes. Just like how those other powers wanted to destroy my Boundless Sect, it was also because they were happy. Although I wanted to kill them to avenge my humiliation, it could also be said that I was happy and wanted to kill them. Senior, when you came to help us negotiate peace, wasn't it also because you were happy?"

"Nonsense. I wasn't happy," Xing Dao Li said with a sullen expression.

Xing Daoli said with a straight face. However, Zi Chen's words seemed to have made him understand something. The fog in front of him seemed to have dissipated a little, but there was still a large patch of fog in front of him, making him somewhat confused. Thus, he asked again, "If you say that there was a chicken first, how did the chicken come about without an egg?"

He had miraculously returned to the original question.

This question was very boring, but the expert was so interested in it. Zi Chen couldn't help but guess that there was something wrong with the other party's mental state. As such, he patiently said, "The most accurate answer to this question is to ask the chicken. Ask it if it came from the egg, but I don't think it would know because it was still very young at the time and didn't have much memory. Moreover, I don't think that we have to ask the chicken because we can't find it, so I believe that the chicken came first. Even if you can prove that my point of view is wrong, I still believe that the chicken came first. Just like today, those powers felt that this was a misunderstanding and that I shouldn't have killed them, but I felt that they deserved to die, so I wanted to kill them, so I killed them because I was happy, because I wanted to, because what I said made sense."

Xing Dao Li's eyes began to shine, but they quickly became confused again, and he once again sank into deep thought.

When Zi Chen saw that the other party had stopped asking questions, he quietly left. He vaguely guessed that the other party was so serious that he seemed to be searching for the truth of the world. However, Zi Chen hadn't come into contact with the rules yet, so he didn't understand this matter and just spoke his mind.

Not long after, Xing Dao Li's expression in the room became even more confused. The fog that had originally dissipated seemed to turn into fog in the next moment. After a long time, a voice came out from the room: "There was the chicken first, no, the chicken came from the egg, so there was the egg first, no, the chicken laid the egg, so there was the egg first, no, could it be that there really was a chicken that didn't come from the egg first?"

In the next few days, a subordinate reported to Zi Chen that the word 'egg' was often heard in the old ancestor's room.

In response to this news, Zi Chen only nodded. During this period, he went to see Xing Dao Li a few times, but every time, the other party would ask about the egg. Zi Chen very clearly expressed his opinion, but as Xing Dao Li asked again and again, Zi Chen's opinion became somewhat uncertain.

Thus, he hurriedly stopped the discussion with Xing Dao Li and left to enjoy the scenery outside.

Because while chatting with Xing Dao Li, Zi Chen seemed to have sensed the existence of the rules, and this was the precursor to stepping into the Earth Yuan Stage.

The question of the egg had made Xing Dao Li dizzy, and even Zi Chen gradually had doubts in his heart, to the extent that it affected his Dao Heart. After calming himself down, he continued to see the mountain as the mountain and the water as the water. After insisting on his opinion, Zi Chen decided not to see Xing Dao Li again.

The Human Yuan Stage expert rushed back to the clan as quickly as possible. He was a member of the Tu Clan, and was at the Great Circle of the Human Yuan Stage. As soon as he returned, he announced that he wanted to see the clan head.

It was actually very difficult for people of this level to see the family head normally, but because of the importance of today's matter, the first thing he did after returning was to see the family head.

"What, not only did they not kill them, they were even held captive." Hearing this news, the Tu family head was furious, and slammed the table, spilling the tea on the table.

"What exactly happened, tell me in detail." However, he quickly suppressed his anger and asked in a deep voice.

Thus, the Human Yuan Stage began to explain from the beginning.

"Those damn monks actually dared to interfere in our affairs, they must have eaten a leopard's guts." The Buddhist sect's participation made him extremely unhappy.

"The Buddhists brought more than twenty warriors of the Earth Origin Realm, and the Ancients brought more than thirty warriors of the Earth Origin Realm. However, this is not the main reason for our defeat. The main reason is Zi Chen."

"Zi Chen, what happened to him? Could it be that he has the battle strength to fight against Earth Yuan Stage practitioners?"

The Ren Yuan subordinate said, "Not just fight, Zi Chen's strength broke through again, reaching the Great Circle of the Human Yuan Stage, he already has the battle strength to kill Earth Yuan Stage practitioners."

"What, kill?"

"Yes, he killed Jin Lingchi with just three strikes, and injured an Earth Yuan Stage assassin with a powerful strike. However, this was not the main reason why they were held captive."

"Then hurry up and tell me the main reason." The Tu family head finally could not hold it in any longer, and was on the verge of exploding.

"At that time, under Zi Chen's signal, the two sides were about to fight, but an old man suddenly appeared and stopped the battle."

"Who is that old man?"

"I don't know, but he had the aura of a Heaven Yuan Stage practitioner. After he stopped the battle, he said that he wanted to negotiate, but Zi Chen was not willing, saying that we kept going back on our words. In the end, the old man promised that Zi Chen would agree, but Zi Chen detained our people, and also said that when you go to negotiate, bring more resources, and that he does not mind spirit liquid or Yuan liquid."

The Tu family head said angrily, "Bah, he is looking for death, and he does not mind? Dream on, he will not get any resources, and he will not be able to negotiate either. As for the Heaven Yuan Stage old man, he is just a problem, but we, the Five Elements Stage, have been passed down for countless years, can't we solve this problem?"

"He is just a Heaven Yuan Stage practitioner, right, did the old man say what his name was?"

"He said that he was an abandoned disciple of the Wuji Sect, called Li Xing or Li Dao. Oh, it was Li Dao Xing, he said that he was an outer disciple of the Wuji Sect."
