This is the true immortal of the Taoist sect.

Hearing Li Daoxuan say this, Lingxi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Master, have you subdued that terrifying giant?"

Upon hearing this, Li Daoxuan smiled and shook his head, saying:

"Such an extraordinary creature, how could it willingly submit to anyone? Besides, why would we want to subdue it in the first place?"

"This Great Yi Marsh was originally his place of cultivation. He has promised his master that as long as humans do not cause him trouble, he will not go out and hurt people."

Lingxi patted her chest, still shaken.

"That thing is huge, it's terrifying."

"He killed so many people, and almost killed Sister Susu..."

Li Daoxuan sighed softly and said helplessly:

"It's no wonder he's like this. He's been sleeping here for a long time, and when he finally woke up, this group of people started targeting him, shouting and threatening to kill him. So naturally he had to fight back."

"Humans can kill all things, and all things can naturally kill people; this is fair."

Hearing Li Daoxuan's words, Lingxi curiously looked up at him and said with a grin:

"Master, these words don't sound like they came from the same person."

Li Daoxuan feigned anger and laughed:

"How dare you insult your master, calling him inhuman..."

Lingxi wasn't afraid at all, and said with a smile:

"Master is not human, Master is a god, an immortal, is... the Dao..."

Li Daoxuan was taken aback upon hearing this, and his heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason.

What was said unintentionally was taken to heart by the listener.

Lingxi's words made Li Daoxuan fall into deep thought.

"Not human..."

These three words seemed to be a compliment to him, but Li Daoxuan suddenly felt a strange sense of crisis.

His roots are in humanity, and his true nature and true self are naturally also human.

But after Lingxi's words, he couldn't help but reflect on his experiences and his way of handling things, and it seemed that he was really starting to deviate from the concept of being human.

They are becoming increasingly detached from worldly affairs.

The perspective from which we view people and things is becoming increasingly broader and more expansive.

And what are humans? Humans have selfish desires, human desires, human emotions...

"Is this right or wrong?"

Li Daoxuan was somewhat puzzled.

This was the first time since he began his spiritual practice that he had some doubts about it.

Does cultivating Taoism to become an immortal mean abandoning humanity?

Li Daoxuan had never seen a real immortal, so he didn't know what it was like to truly become an immortal.

But if becoming an immortal means becoming a puppet who only obeys the will and destiny of heaven, then it seems like there's no point in doing so.

Li Daoxuan suddenly remembered a fantasy drama he had watched in his previous life. There was a character in it who was so powerful that he was almost invincible, but he just sat and watched the villains cause chaos and the main characters die one after another.

But he did nothing.

The TV show said that he had attained enlightenment and comprehended all the causes and effects in this world, which is why he could sit and watch the world change and let the universe turn and change as it will.

When Li Daoxuan was a child, he was very puzzled when he watched this TV series.

I still don't understand even now that I'm older.

Now, he can understand it a little better, but if he were to stand in the position of the Sword Saint, Li Daoxuan knew he would never be as calm as him.

"Sigh... Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. I'm still a long way from becoming an immortal. Thinking about these things now is just worrying myself sick..."

Li Daoxuan made a self-deprecating remark and suppressed these thoughts.

Just then, Bai Susu, who had fallen into a coma, finally woke up.

Li Daoxuan sensed her movement and was about to check her injuries.

But the moment Bai Susu opened her eyes, Li Daoxuan was stunned.

Those eyes were not the kind of eyes that the Bai Susu he knew could have.

In Li Daoxuan's memory, Bai Susu had clear eyes and often wore a gentle smile.

But at this moment, Bai Susu's eyes were filled with coldness, and a faint red light even appeared in her pupils. A weak but extremely pure killing intent emanated from her body.

As soon as Li Daoxuan sat down, the nine-character divine dragon he had summoned with his supernatural powers reacted immediately and began to stir restlessly.

The divine dragon is a pure force of Taoism, specifically designed to subdue evil and malevolent creatures.

Lingxi reacted the most strongly.

The moment Bai Susu opened her eyes, he darted behind Li Daoxuan, clutching Li Daoxuan's clothes and trembling.

"Master...she...she's not Sister Susu..."

Hearing the commotion, Bai Susu turned around sharply to look at the master and disciple.

His eyes held a chilling coldness that sent shivers down one's spine.

"Who are you? Where is this?"

Bai Susu stood up, glanced at the dragon at her feet, and a clear look of disgust flashed in her eyes.

Without a second thought, he leaped off the top of the dragon's head and soared into the distance.

Li Daoxuan put away the divine dragon, casually summoned a wisp of cloud, which transformed into auspicious clouds, carrying the two of them as they chased after it.

Although Li Daoxuan's expression remained calm, his heart was filled with astonishment.

Bai Susu's situation reminded him of a mental illness, which had a name in his previous life: "dissociative identity disorder".

People with this disease may have two or more personalities at the same time, and when the personalities switch, they may even become a completely different person.

Temperament, memory, and even the skills acquired have all changed drastically.

Li Daoxuan didn't know if Bai Susu had this type of mental illness.

But since fate has brought him together with Bai Susu again, he will not let it go.

The speed of flying through the clouds wasn't particularly fast, but it was still quite easy to catch up with Bai Susu, who was only at the eighth level of the Heavenly Realm and couldn't fly long distances.

Bai Susu glanced back and saw that Li Daoxuan was chasing closely, his eyes clearly filled with murderous intent.

This continued for a while until Bai Susu finally lost her patience and plummeted to the ground.

Before Li Daoxuan could even land, a huge white tiger pounced on him.

With a single breath, a visible wave of air swept in, its tip even possessing a metallic sharpness.

"Gathering wind to form a blade? Interesting..."

Li Daoxuan murmured softly.

As soon as the wind blades approached, they were dispersed by an invisible force without causing any damage.

The white tiger opened its blood-red maw and charged forward. Li Daoxuan raised his hand and gently pointed a finger, a circle of runes appearing on his fingertip, and the character "定" (ding, meaning "fixed") landed on the white tiger's forehead.

The huge white tiger was frozen in place, unable to move.

Not far away, Bai Susu's eyes changed drastically upon seeing this scene. She immediately realized that she was no match for Li Daoxuan and turned to run away.

"Miss Bai, please wait..."

Li Daoxuan raised his hand and beckoned Bai Susu, who was then unable to leave and was directly pulled into his arms.

Just as Bai Susu was about to get close, her eyes suddenly turned completely red.

His skin began to turn grayish-white, and a cold and fierce aura suddenly erupted.

His hands transformed into sharp claws, viciously grabbing at Li Daoxuan.

Li Daoxuan paused for a moment, then pointed to his chest, instantly activating the Golden Light Divine Incantation, and forcefully withstood Bai Susu's claw attack.

Bai Susu was thrown away and landed on the ground not far away, on all fours, staring at Li Daoxuan and making eerie roars.

Li Daoxuan was startled, finding it somewhat unbelievable.

Bai Susu's claw attack just now completely surpassed her own strength, reaching the level of the ninth heaven, and was even much stronger than an ordinary ninth heaven cultivator.

"Even a split personality wouldn't cause such a drastic change, would it?"

Li Daoxuan thought to himself.

Li Daoxuan was even more startled when he looked closely at Bai Susu, who was yelling at him.

Not only did Bai Susu's eyes turn red, but she also grew several sharp fangs in her mouth.

Those are definitely not human teeth.
