Chapter 648 Stop
The Dao fruit of a cultivator is an illusory and abstract thing, without any entity. Not to mention that it can be picked at will, just like the fruit on the tree. It's just that the Mu Mansion's skills are special, which can make the cultivator's Dao fruit concrete. Mu Laozu combined the Dao Sect's method and the secret of the mermaid clan to create this method, which is convenient for picking other people's Dao fruit.
But Li Changxiao didn't know Mu Laozu's method of picking Dao fruit, and Mu Laozu swallowed a lot of Dao fruit, and the Dao was already mixed. The Dao fruit's aura was entangled, and it was no longer possible to distinguish the original state, and it felt chaotic.
When Li Changxiao's hand reached into Mu Laozu's chest, Mu Laozu suddenly howled continuously and felt great pain, but the two beads of life and death circled around him, and the many restraining forces made him unable to break free. If Mu Laozu was still awake, he would definitely have a way to break the situation, but he was already hysterical and unconscious, and even if he had a brilliant technique, he couldn't use it.
The two beads of life and death rang, and Li Changxiao also felt very tired. He reached his hand into the chest of Mu Laozu and saw the Dao fruit in his body. It was dark gray and strange, like different fruits spliced together. The Dao essence around it was mixed, like thin threads of different thicknesses and lengths, tightly wrapping the fruit.
Li Changxiao tried to push away those thin threads and pick the Dao fruit, but the moment he pushed it lightly, Mu Laozu became even more hysterical. If it was said that before, although he was hysterical and had difficulty controlling his body, he still had some consciousness. At this moment, his mind was completely scattered and he didn't know who he was.
Li Changxiao frowned and pushed again, but the next moment, Mu Laozu's breath was unstable and evolved in an unimaginable direction. Li Changxiao felt very dangerous, and immediately put away the magic, pinched his fingers, and rushed into the heaven and earth plate.
Immediately afterwards, there was a sudden roar, and white light overflowed. Everything on the island was engulfed by the white light. Then endless spiritual energy gushed out, which was even louder than the movement of Zhao Qing's previous release. Not only the area near the Heart-seeking Bridge, but also every inch of the entire Great Heaven Realm was covered with spiritual energy. And it was as dense as the sea, making everyone feel as if they had entered the Dantian of a great man.
Unfortunately, this spiritual energy was not the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and everyone could not absorb it. They could only look at it, not use it. If it could be used, everyone present could make up for the loss of nearly a thousand years in an instant, and it might even be possible to break through the realm!
Everyone was in constant doubt, not knowing what happened on the island. Ancestor Mu did not explode himself, otherwise, with the power of the fusion, the entire Great Heaven Realm, and even other places outside the Great Heaven Realm, would be thousands of miles away without a trace, without any exaggeration.
When Li Changxiao was trying to extract the Dao fruit by pulling out the silk from the silk cocoon, the Dao fruit that Mu Laozu had forcibly merged had an abnormal movement and completely split, and the spiritual energy inside it was madly dissipating, causing such a scene.
The Dao fruit was the hard work of a person's cultivation of the Dao. The Dao follows the natural way, so how could it be easily teased and completely manipulated by others? Mu Laozu died and the Dao disappeared, and the Dao fruit was scattered, leaving the Dao of the heart desolate and desolate.
After a long search and a long search for the Dao, in the end I had nothing in my hands, you had nothing in your hands, and everyone in the world had nothing in their hands. Li Changxiao stood in the ruins, gaining a little more insight and a little more sigh. The spiritual energy turned into a colorful rain, which fell drop by drop at first, and then it got bigger and bigger, with a great momentum of downpour.

Li Changxiao put away the heaven and earth plate, and suddenly felt weak. The clouds and mists dispersed. He saw that everyone outside the bridge had empty hands. He looked into the distance and saw Zhao Qing slumped on the ground, looking pale.
Feeling tired for a moment, he lay down straight. The heavy rain was still beating. Seeing the vast sky, he felt like a tiny ant. All living beings are tiny ants. They are busy all their lives, fighting for life and death, but what they seek is ultimately empty.
Li Changxiao thought to himself: "Dao Da, what exactly are you? Why don't you come out and see me?" He lay for a long time. He walked alone on the long road of seeking for a long time, and it was inevitable that he felt lonely.
When he saw Mu Shu and Mu Qi wanted to seek the Dao fruit, he sincerely helped them. It was the good intention of wanting to help others in his heart, and it was also because he wanted to see someone seeking the Dao and getting the Dao.
So when Mu Shu and Mu Qi couldn't pull out the Dao fruit, he decisively took action. If it were anyone else at that time, they would not have taken action. Mu Shu is as smart as a demon, and his personality is also like a demon. After recovering his cultivation, the probability of him targeting Li Changxiao again is not small. But Li Changxiao still took action. He said that he had good intentions, but what really drove him to cut the sword was the confusion and loneliness in his heart.
He has been seeking the Tao for half his life, and nine out of ten things he saw were not satisfactory. He saw that the vast sentient beings in the world were constantly searching, and occasionally saw some people who were free and easy, but they were just pretending to be free and easy.
At this moment, Zhao Qing's Dao fruit also dissipated, and many perceptions and confusions also surged. Li Changxiao was not a saint, and it was inevitable that many doubts would arise in his perception and enlightenment.
What's more, this is a world of no spirits and no methods. He walked alone. In such an environment, he seemed to be full of opportunities, but in fact, he was full of tests.
When he saw that sentient beings lost their way, he couldn't help but wonder, why can he seek the Tao?
When he saw that sentient beings were frustrated, he couldn't help but think, is he proud? Li Changxiao's heart is strong and he is not easily infected by external evil, but when practicing Taoism, one often needs to look directly at one's heart dialectically, rather than being paranoid and thinking that one is right.
Those feelings are the doubts he has gradually accumulated step by step after seeing all living beings, from immortals to mortals, and from mortals to immortals. He walked firmly, but besides being firm, there were always moments when he wanted to look back on this lonely road.
When he looked back, he saw pedestrians who had walked halfway, one by one, stopped early, full of sorrow, full of hardship, and full of embarrassment. That feeling is really hard to tell others.
Zhao Qing walked to him and lay down, and also lay on the ground together, letting the rain beat on them. She reached out and touched some of the rain, which was full of the perception of the Great Dao and the profound Dao. Every drop of rain was the essence of a man who had once been a master of heaven and earth.
But now it was like ordinary rain, scattered all over the ground. Even if you reach out to catch it, it will always flow through your fingers.
Zhao Qing suddenly held Li Changxiao's hand and whispered: "A cultivator's lifelong pursuit of the Dao may not end in vain. You don't have to be confused, just keep moving forward."
Suddenly he sighed softly and whispered softly, "But I have to stop first."
