Chapter 466: Sticking to One Path

"What's wrong, Brother Hu?"Li An asked cautiously, sensing Liu Dahu's turbulent mood swings. He wondered if a failed drill shouldn't be so devastating.At that moment, Liu Dahu looked up at Li An and said, "You...""Forget it!"He wanted to say something, but ultimately kept his mouth shut.That year, Liu Sheng's question, "Can you deconstruct life?", presented Liu Dahu with a question he would need to study for the rest of his life.To this day, he hasn't seen even a glimmer of the answer.But what about this foolish child before him?He had inexplicably achieved enlightenment through life, and even he couldn't explain why.This was talent.For ordinary people, enlightenment takes years, but a genius requires only a single thought, a few hours.Everyone knew that Li An practiced even when he drank water; hard work was his hallmark.But the world didn't know.He possessed three infinite-level talents! The Supreme Fist he used the most was probably the one he used the least! He was also a martial arts prodigy, now mastering both sword and blade techniques with ease!The world only saw his hard work, overlooking his absurdly high talent.Was he supposed to explain his Dao Soul to him?Liu Dahu eventually gave up.He had figured it out.Perhaps it was his deliberate pursuit that prevented him from feeling the natural flow of life.As Li An himself had said, there was no need for reason or logic; find that feeling, and the Dao would naturally follow."Continue."Liu Dahu gathered his composure and resumed his practice.Li An didn't ask any further questions, cooperating intently.The second time, there were no incidents.The Myriad Dao Stone and his clone merged smoothly.He tried a few more times.Brother Hu was still Brother Hu, flawless from start to finish. He didn't know why he had failed the first time.In short, after several hours of practice, Li An decided to begin his actual combat.Back to the real world.In the bedroom. He focused his mind and activated his innate runes.Two clones appeared, one on the left and one on the right.He handed the Myriad Dao Stone to Liu Dahu.He didn't waste any time, but focused on the fusion process.The entire process took an hour and a half.Finally, the clones and the Myriad Dao Stone merged perfectly.Li An turned to look at the two clones beside him. They possessed almost identical strengths.One controlled the elements, the other the mind. Their eyes were no longer dull, but focused and full of energy.Next, he tried to let the two clones cultivate autonomously.Things went smoothly; the clones could indeed cultivate autonomously.However, maintaining the clones consumed a significant amount of source energy.Even between entering and exiting, their realm remained almost unchanged.It seemed he needed to first improve his elemental realm.Increasing the amount and quality of source energy in the spiritual palace would allow the clones to maintain their vitality for a longer period of time. Seeing this, Liu Dahu frowned and said, "Indeed, this kind of immortal technique is mostly only learned by immortals in the Divine Realm.""You're special. The skill runes were personally inscribed upon you by Emperor Yu Tian.""Using this kind of immortal technique at the Seventh Realm is indeed a bit of a stretch.""What do you think?""Start working on the Elemental Realm? Or continue practicing boxing?"Li An yawned leisurely: "Ha~""It's tedious to think about it.""Continue practicing boxing. We'll deal with the rest later."He had a lot on his plate right now.But he didn't feel any pressure.Because he had already found order within the chaos.Things like the Three Realms Merging into One, cultivating clones—all that aside.First, master boxing and complete the tasks assigned to him by the Sky-Defeating One.In the past, Li An wanted everything: cultivating the elements, then the spirit, and finally the body.It was exhausting, but in the end, the only thing he could really use to fight was his fists.Besides, Li An had originally planned to study the Three Realms Merging into One in the fourth year of the Temple's construction.Now, he possessed a single Qi. The Three Pure Ones and the Elemental Realm were both unexpected gains.On the road ahead, a corner suddenly appeared, revealing a treasure chest.Li An opened the treasure chest and took what was inside, but that didn't mean he would continue down this path.It was just a pleasant surprise. After collecting it, he returned to his original path.Practicing boxing, cultivating martial spirit, and striving for the Martial Master realm.From the time he entered school until now, Li An has been focusing on these three things.He has ignored everything else, including the advancement of his Dao Fruit and the condensation of his Dao Soul. Come if you want, forget it if you don't.Liu Dahu observed Li An's relaxed demeanor and thought, "How wonderful!"On the path of cultivation, the most fearful thing is hesitation.This is especially true for martial artists.One moment, he was dazzled by the dazzling swordplay, the next by the captivating murderous aura of the sword, thinking about this and that, and time slipped away, ultimately leaving him with neither sesame seeds nor watermelons.The unification of the three realms, the Dao Fruit, and other such powers are of immense importance to any cultivator.Now, the path lay before Li An.He didn't move, but continued to practice his boxing. Is that right?If time went back a few years, many would have said Ang Lee was ungrateful.Back then, everyone said his martial arts training was a dead end, that he should have chosen to be a combat strategist, a mind-controller.Your dream is right here, but if you don't use it, isn't that a waste?He didn't care and continued practicing martial arts, eventually achieving the world-renowned status he enjoys today.Now, the Dao Soul and the Three Realms of Unity are before him.He didn't care and continued practicing martial arts.Cultivating the Dao Heart is nothing more than a few choices.Forward or backward.Go straight or turn. Head up or head down.Ang Lee always chose to walk straight ahead with his head held high. The road stretched to the sky, and he only took one side.Perhaps it was this stubbornness and determination that had brought him to where he is today.Liu Dahu couldn't help but think of Zhao Shaolong.He was truly about to be surpassed by Ang Lee.Because Zhao Shaolong lacked Ang Lee's determination.Kendo, swordsmanship, or cultivating the power of the Emperor, the fire of Nirvana?Elemental or martial artist?He always wavered between the two.Not just him, but most contemporary geniuses. It was the same.There were too many choices, each one more formidable than the last.Constantly changing choices, a path that seemed perfectly natural, then deviated, and after a long detour, found itself back where it started.Looking up, he saw that the young man who had once chased him was now only visible from behind.Then, Liu Dahu began forging Huihui's sword.Li An returned to the living room, drew aside the bed curtains, and gazed up at the setting sun.The aura hidden in the light had vanished.Liu Dahu hadn't even sensed it.Who could it be?Someone who was at odds with him, and whose mastery of the light element rivaled the heavens...No!Li An had a thought.The Ruler of Light!The Heavenly Destroyer, who mastered the very essence of the laws of light.Or, in other words, the other person was a beam of light shining down from the heavens.Once his choice was completely transformed into light, he would be no different from every other beam of light that permeated the world.He would not carry the aura of source energy, so even someone as powerful as Liu Dahu couldn't sense it.So why could he sense it?
