Fellow Daoist, your script is really good.

This large tree went straight through the roof of the palace.

A dazzling light shone down on this large tree.

Su Li reached out and caught the scattered light on the ground. As the light fell into Su Li's palm like snowflakes, Su Li could feel the spiritual energy seeping into his blood and flowing continuously within him.

These rays of light were like spiritual energy materialized, becoming something visible.

This shows just how rich the spiritual energy is in this place.

If Su Li is not mistaken, this tree should be the Heavenly Dao Tree that Long Yueqing mentioned.

The Heavenly Dao Tree originally grew in the sky, maintaining the spiritual power of the Heavenly Court, and complemented the Heavenly Dao Cauldron on the ground.

Su Li continued walking forward, and under this big tree, he saw the figure of an old man.

An old man looked up and was looking at the tree.

The old man seemed like a statue, motionless, standing there forever after the passage of time.

Su Li could not sense any cleverness from this old man; it was as if he were just an ordinary person.

But how could an ordinary person possibly appear in this place?

The other party must be the old man Chi Yu mentioned, I think his name is Master Xu.

This Master Xu is the ruler of the Heavenly Court. I heard that he is extremely powerful and will be my final opponent.

If I were to eliminate this Master Xu, the balance of power between the Heavenly Court and the mortal realm would be disrupted.

At that time, the Heavenly Court will be attacked and the great battle will end as quickly as possible.

However, the other party gave Su Li an invisible sense of pressure.

That's right, even though the other person looks like an ordinary person.

But the old man standing in front of him was like a mountain, as if he had no chance of shaking him at all!

The opponent is very strong!

Su Li could sense that the other party was stronger than she could have imagined.

However, Su Li felt that the opponent was not invincible.

As long as the other party has not reached the legendary Dao Integration Realm.

Even if he is only one step away from the Dao Integration Realm, I still have a certain chance.

Not to mention that his master had fought against this old man in ancient times.

According to Takiyuki, he wasn't at a significant disadvantage at that time, so there was no need for him to glorify it.

Su Li walked confidently step by step towards the old man.

The old man seemed to finally sense Su Li's presence and turned to look at him.

"You're that guy named Su Li, aren't you?"

The old man smiled at Su Li.

"Yes."

Su Li nodded.

"Indeed, heroes emerge from among the young. If you had been born in ancient times, I really can't imagine what it would have been like," the old man exclaimed.

"You're the one called Master Xu?"

Su Li ignored the other party.

"Yes, but I'm just an old man who's lived a long time and is about to die."

But you can give me hope for a new life.

Chapter 820 The Crack in the Heavenly Dao Cauldron

Master Xu turned his head and looked at Su Li with a smile.

"And you are my hope!"

Master Xu walked slowly towards Su Li, leaning on his cane, but he closed the distance between them very quickly.

"I think that little girl, Taki Yueqing, has probably told you everything."

That's right, your soul is the last fragment of the Heavenly Dao Cauldron.

Whether your soul was originally a fragment of the Heavenly Dao Cauldron, or whether a fragment of the Heavenly Dao Cauldron merged into your soul, I have no way of knowing.

In this world, probably no one knows.

However, the Heavenly Dao Cauldron we obtained in ancient times was not complete.

At the time, we thought we had found all the fragments of the Heavenly Dao Cauldron. When we pieced the Heavenly Dao Cauldron together, it was indeed complete and intact.

However, we were all deceived by the illusion.

Actually, I started to have doubts at that time. After all, once the Heavenly Dao Cauldron was reassembled, how could we possibly break it so easily with our strength alone?

The Heavenly Dao Cauldron definitely has some problems, but what exactly are they?

After finally arriving in the celestial realm, I pondered deeply and eventually came to a conclusion!

That is, the Heavenly Dao Cauldron was never complete. Because it was missing something, it was as if the Heavenly Dao Cauldron was born with a crack.

And naturally, we can then follow that crack and shatter the Heavenly Dao Cauldron!

But what is that crack?

The Heavenly Dao Cauldron is clearly intact, so why is a piece missing?

What exactly is missing in this piece?

After thinking about it for so many years, I finally guessed that the missing part is the gap that is invisible to the naked eye when the fragments of the Heavenly Dao Cauldron are connected!

There is also a "fragment" that needs to be filled in to complete the parts that the other fragments are pieced together!

In this way, the Heavenly Dao Cauldron will no longer have any gaps and can be considered complete and flawless!

And this thing that can fill the Heavenly Dao Cauldron is definitely not a substantial fragment.

It should be something like water, or...

An existence like a soul.

After speaking, Master Xu looked at Su Li.

"As expected, just as I guessed, in order to prevent the Heavenly Dao Cauldron from being possessed by one person, this last 'fragment' of the Heavenly Dao Cauldron was actually a person's soul."

What a pity, Su Li.

If Su Li had been in the ancient times, and we had obtained you, I estimate that I would have already reached the Dao Integration Realm, existing alongside heaven and earth, and on par with the sun and moon.

Su Li, didn't you want this world to always be a beautiful place? Didn't you want this world to be free of conflict?

If you hand over your soul to me and allow me to reach that supreme realm, then I can grant your wish.

There will be no war in this world, and that beautiful realm that only exists in the ideal will appear in reality!

I, Xu Wang, will become the enforcer of justice in this world! I will bring absolute fairness to this world!

As they were talking, this Mr. Xu, named Xu Wang, extended his hand, as if he wanted to invite Su Li.

Su Li's brows twitched slightly as she listened to Xu Wang's words.

You're probably just dreaming.

Su Li said bluntly, even wondering if the other person had gone mad.

"Just because I call you Master Xu, do you really think you're some respected elder?"

If I had known your name before, I would have called you Xu Gou (meaning "dog Xu").

Fine, calling you Xu Gou now doesn't seem so bad, you really are quite the dog.

What kind of face do you have that you want me to give up my soul in order to help you achieve the Great Dao?

As for what you mean by making the world a better place, what does that have to do with me?

Essentially, all I want is to make my life a little better.

If it weren't for you guys messing up my life, I wouldn't be thinking about any of this. Now I have to risk my life to get to the Heavenly Realm.

As for absolute fairness in the world...

Do you think I'm a little kid?

Or are you saying you're mentally challenged?

How can there be absolute fairness in this world?

I am very selfish.

Without me, what's the point of this world, no matter how wonderful it is? I wouldn't be able to enjoy it.

Old man, if you really want to make this world a better place.

Otherwise, you might as well just commit suicide. That way, I'll save myself a lot of trouble.

Leave the rest to us.

Anyway, once we unify Heaven and the mortal realm, everything will be much easier!

"..."

Xu Wang's brow twitched slightly.

He was just saying it to fool Su Li; he didn't actually expect Su Li to obediently hand over his soul.

Xu Wang was mainly surprised that Su Li would refute him so strongly.

Moreover, this guy's constant use of foul language made me feel very uncomfortable.

"In that case, boy, I will have no choice but to personally seize your soul."

Xu Wang shook his head, not angry, and tapped the ground of the Heavenly Court a few times with his cane.

In an instant, the light of the Heavenly Dao Tree continuously condensed, eventually forming a golden Buddha statue.

This Buddha statue is just like the Buddha worshipped in Wanfozhou.

That is, the great sage who founded Buddhism.

The next moment, these rays of light continued to condense, eventually coalescing into an old Taoist priest riding a blue ox.

An old Taoist priest held a whisk in his hand and gazed into the distance.

Su Li felt that if he wasn't mistaken, this old Taoist priest was the sage who founded Taoism.

Finally, those golden rays coalesced into the shape of a scholar.

The scholar was dressed in a blue robe and held a bamboo scroll in his hand. He looked elegant and extremely kind.

And this old man is the Confucian sage who founded Confucianism.

The three founders of religions were not resurrected; rather, these points of light condensed into their divine forms.

These Dharma forms may carry some of the power of the three founders of religion, but they are definitely not resurrected.

Otherwise, Su Li felt that she really couldn't win.

Standing behind this man, looking at the images of the three founders of religions, Su Li felt an unprecedented pressure.

It's as if they can suppress me anytime, anywhere, with a flick of their wrist!

However, Su Li did not back down in the slightest.

At this point, there was no way out.

Su Li drew his longsword, and without exchanging a single word with him, he unleashed his full spiritual power and slashed down at his opponent.

The sword light, stretching for a hundred meters, slashed directly at Xu Wang's head.

However, Xu Wang stretched out his cane and blocked Su Li's knife directly.

Su Li's strike was completely blocked by Xu Wang.

The sword energy spread continuously from behind Xu Wang, eventually cleaving the Heavenly Court in two, with the sword energy soaring into the sky.
