"Young Master Li Xuan, what would you like to know?" The Heavenly Dao elder stopped his steps in mid-air and asked Li Xuan with a smile.
Li Xuan had called out to the Heavenly Dao elder and expressed a desire to walk with him, so the elder naturally understood that Li Xuan had some questions. If that was the case, it was better to be proactive.
After all, it was for the sake of "that one."
Of course, even the current Li Xuan was qualified. A disciple of "that one," who knew what heights he would reach in the future. At the very least, he would definitely not stop on this Hunyuan Continent.
Li Xuan smiled upon hearing this and then said, "Senior Heavenly Dao, I wish to know what kind of existence you are."
The Heavenly Dao elder was momentarily stunned, then chuckled, "Young Master Li Xuan, to put it simply, I am also a person. It can be said that we Heavenly Dao were initially just the order and rules of this world continent. But as time accumulated, coupled with our cultivation, it is not too difficult to cultivate into human form."
"We?" Li Xuan's heart stirred.
The Heavenly Dao elder nodded slightly. "Every world continent, even every plane, and those worlds at higher levels, almost all have Heavenly Dao. And the strength of each Heavenly Dao is different, one could say it increases as one goes higher."
Li Xuan nodded in realization. After a moment of contemplation, he asked, "Then who governs you Heavenly Dao? Or does your Heavenly Dao only exist in this world continent?"
The Heavenly Dao elder gave a wry smile. "Indeed, our Heavenly Dao exists within this world continent. However, if our strength improves, we can still journey to the next world continent. All of this depends on the Heavenly Dao laws. And we Heavenly Dao are also bound by the Heavenly Dao laws."
"Heavenly Dao laws..." Li Xuan frowned slightly.
Seeing this, the Heavenly Dao elder could only continue to explain. "The Heavenly Dao laws were established by the Heavenly Dao Master. It can be said that our existence as Heavenly Dao is also due to the existence of the Heavenly Dao Master. The myriad of sentient beings also exist because of the Heavenly Dao Master."
"Little Brush." Li Xuan's heart moved, and he immediately summoned the Heavenly Dao Brush from the Zhenyu.
"Heavenly Dao Brush!" As the Heavenly Dao Brush appeared, the Heavenly Dao elder's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed.
However, the Heavenly Dao elder quickly regained his composure. After staring at the Heavenly Dao Brush for a moment, he said, "No, this is a clone of the Heavenly Dao Brush?"
"Old man, your eyesight is not bad. I am indeed just a clone," the Heavenly Dao Brush said haughtily.
Li Xuan immediately admonished, "Little Brush, speak properly."
The Heavenly Dao elder gave a wry smile. "It's alright, Young Master Li Xuan. Although this is just a clone of the Heavenly Dao Brush, it is still a part of it. At my level, compared to it, I am truly too inferior to quibble."
Li Xuan was somewhat surprised. It seemed the Heavenly Dao Brush truly had some clout. Yet, based on its displayed strength, it only seemed to be limited to predicting danger and understanding the world.
"Little Master, my status is actually quite high," the Heavenly Dao Brush said.
Li Xuan: "..."
The Heavenly Dao elder smiled and looked at Li Xuan. "I never expected the Heavenly Dao Brush to be by Young Master Li Xuan's side. No wonder Young Master is a person of destiny. Since Young Master has summoned the Heavenly Dao Brush, you must wish to know about the relationship between us, right?"
Li Xuan nodded. Since he had obtained the Heavenly Dao Brush, Li Xuan truly didn't know its origin. Although his master had acquired it for him, his master had not explained its origins.
The appearance of the Heavenly Dao elder now made Li Xuan curious about whether there was a connection between the Heavenly Dao and the Heavenly Dao Brush.
"The Heavenly Dao Master established laws for each of the myriad sentient beings. For example, we Heavenly Dao are the Heavenly Dao laws. Moreover, every race has its own laws. And all of this was written by the Heavenly Dao Master using the Heavenly Dao Brush," the Heavenly Dao elder looked deeply at the Heavenly Dao Brush, then smiled and said to Li Xuan.
Li Xuan looked at the Heavenly Dao Brush with some surprise. This thing was actually a personal belonging of the Heavenly Dao Master.
In that case, its status and position were indeed not low. It was no wonder it had called the Heavenly Dao elder "old man" when it first appeared.
What shocked Li Xuan even more was the existence of the Heavenly Dao Master, under whose established order and rules the myriad of sentient beings lived.
"Thank you, Senior," Li Xuan said, cupping his fists in a salute to the Heavenly Dao elder.
"Little Master, you can let this old man take you to the world origin for cultivation. There, your strength will be greatly enhanced," at this moment, the voice of the Heavenly Dao Brush sounded in Li Xuan's mind.
Li Xuan's heart stirred. He had heard of the "world origin" when facing the Demon Lord before, and now that the Heavenly Dao Brush mentioned it again, Li Xuan was indeed tempted by the world origin.
"Will there be any side effects?" Li Xuan still asked with some unease.
The Heavenly Dao Brush did not answer Li Xuan but instead said to the Heavenly Dao elder, "Old man, your world origin should have already been replenished, right? Little Master's strength is not very high yet. Do you want to create a good karma?"
The Heavenly Dao elder gave a wry smile. This was hardly a question being asked of him.
However, the Heavenly Dao elder was somewhat tempted by the idea of "creating good karma" mentioned by the Heavenly Dao Brush. As a Heavenly Dao, for better development, connections and resources were indispensable. As for connections, Li Xuan was undoubtedly a very good investor.
"The world origin does seem to have been replenished. Come with me, Young Master," the Heavenly Dao elder said, looking at Li Xuan.
Li Xuan gave a wry smile, and then with a wave of the Heavenly Dao elder's hand, he instantly disappeared from his spot.
When he reappeared, a white sphere about three zhang in size appeared before Li Xuan's eyes. The abundant spiritual energy surrounding him made Li Xuan feel lighter after just one breath.
"Is this the world origin?" Li Xuan asked the Heavenly Dao elder with curiosity.
The Heavenly Dao elder nodded slightly. "Indeed, this is the world origin. Young Master only needs to absorb this world origin for cultivation, and it will greatly benefit your realm's advancement. However, how much you can absorb depends on your fortune."
"Thank you." Li Xuan cupped his fists in a salute to the Heavenly Dao elder. Just by sensing it, Li Xuan had already discovered his physical body and even his dantian's craving for this world origin. Cultivating in this place would indeed be of great help to him.
The Heavenly Dao elder smiled. "Young Master, cultivate with peace of mind. This world origin has actually exceeded its intended scale. After some time, it will dissipate on its own, which would truly be a waste."
Only then did Li Xuan breathe a sigh of relief. Since there were no side effects, he could cultivate with confidence.
"I will remember this favor," Li Xuan said.
This was exactly what the Heavenly Dao elder wanted to hear. Having received the promise, the Heavenly Dao elder said no more and smiled. "In that case, I shall not disturb Young Master's cultivation."
With that, the Heavenly Dao elder's figure instantly vanished from the spot.
Li Xuan glanced at the world origin, then took a deep breath and sat down cross-legged. Closing his eyes slightly, Li Xuan began to cultivate.
