Indefining the Dao means, Xu Bai did not know.

When he knew how to ask, he still couldn’t get an accurate answer.

The realms differ too much.

Knowing the general idea is enough; the rest should not be known.

It can easily affect the primordial spirit.

Although this world may only have a few decades left, he still had to give his all.

One must not neglect cultivation, nor be ashamed of the time.

The deeper he went, the more he felt an inexplicable pressure.

Even now, walking here was extremely difficult.

Especially when leaving the shore, he felt covered by a sea of blood, ready to be engulfed at any moment.

Being able to walk this far was probably due to that senior’s help.

Otherwise, with his own ability, he would have long lost himself and sunk into it.

Another period of time passed, perhaps a long while.

He saw a figure from the back.

The moment he saw it, Xu Bai’s pupils contracted.

That figure stood seemingly still, like a statue, yet made him feel his own insignificance.

Before him was like a towering mountain peak, each movement could tear his body apart.

Even the Dao intent in front of it was like the green smoke, ready to dissipate at any moment.

Xu Bai steadied his mind, bowed, and saluted: “Junior Xu Bai, greets Senior Gu.”

He naturally knew who the person in front of him was and what kind of terrifying existence he was.

So he dared not show the slightest disrespect.

After waiting for a long time, Xu Bai finally noticed a change in front of him.

It seemed as if everything had come to life.

A moment later, the oppressive force disappeared.

Clearly, there was a person standing with their back to him.

Then, a calm and deep voice came: “How many years has it been since the grand era?”

“Over four hundred years.” Xu Bai immediately responded.

After a pause, he continued: “Approximately four hundred and ten years.”

The other side did not reply, lost in thought.

After a long time, the other person finally spoke:

“Who are you?”

“Xu Bai of the Bright Moon Sect.” Xu Bai once again reported his name.

“Bright Moon Sect?” Gu Jin shook his head and said: “What a garbage immortal sect, able to cultivate a disciple like you?”

Xu Bai was stunned and didn’t know how to respond.

This senior was probably complimenting him, but he insulted his sect.

Moreover…

It was too blunt.

Such a senior, shouldn’t his words be indirect and profound?

It was the first time he encountered such straightforward insults.

“Raise your head.” Gu Jin’s voice came.

Upon hearing this, Xu Bai raised his head and looked forward.

He felt as if he saw a majestic man, yet he couldn’t see clearly.

“Speak, what do you seek from me? Or let the one on you speak.” Gu Jin said.

Xu Bai had no choice but to communicate with the one on him.

After a moment, a light appeared on him.

A figura emerged, looking at Gu Jin: “This should be our first official meeting, right?”

“It should be, but can we even meet?” Gu Jin frowned.

“Originally, no, but the grand era changes too fast, perhaps you’ve noticed it, though not clearly enough.

Of course, you might also feel that someone has already initiated the challenge; likewise, someone has already defined the Dao, proving the immortality of time.” The middle-aged man smiled at the person before him: “Originally, someone like me, just appearing would attract trouble, but…..

He said with a wry smile: “No matter how much trouble I bring, it is not worth mentioning compared to now, and Cheng Yun will no longer care about me.

Someone of my insignificance, he no longer deems worth his attention at all.

Of course, for the sake of more possibilities, I still cannot stay for long.”

“You’ve come to me, wanting to know what?” Gu Jin casually asked.

“Isn’t it you who wants to know something?” The middle-aged man smiled: “Like how someone over four hundred years old challenged Cheng Yun, and also defined the Dao at over four hundred, not to mention preaching the Tao outside the Great Overarching Heaven, bestowing the Three Thousand Great Dao.

These you should not be too clear about.”

Gu Jin: “….”

For the first time, he felt that four hundred years had passed so slowly.

In the past, a thousand years seemed to pass in a blink.

Now…

How many parts had five hundred years been split into?

For a moment, he did not speak again.

The two met each other’s gaze, neither speaking.

Xu Bai stood quietly, feeling the immense pressure.

After a long time, Gu Jin spoke: “Which sect does he belong to now?”

The middle-aged man looked at Xu Bai: “This would have to be asked of our little friend here.”

Gu Jin looked over.

Xu Bai thought for a moment and said: “Actually, not too sure, but he is quite familiar with the Western Astronomical Academy, having numerous connections.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Jin let out a breath of relief; Jing Dajiang wasn’t completely useless.

He then looked at the middle-aged man and said: “Ask, you’ve come here, surely wanting to know something.”

“Defining the Dao.” The middle-aged man looked at Gu Jin and said: “Can a Saint define the Dao?”

Gu Jin looked at the person before him and laughed: “A Daoist Saint.”

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man lowered his brow and sighed:

“Friend Gu, there isn’t much time left, you have to hurry.

At most a few decades before Cheng Yun arrives.

Moreover, that’s the optimistic scenario.

It was previously thought to be several million years, then a few thousand years.

Not long ago, it seemed like at least a few hundred thousand years.

Now it’s down to just a few decades.

And it’s probably still shrinking.

Count it by decades.

Friend Gu, you have ten years left.”

Gu Jin: “….”

There are some things you could completely keep to yourself.

He had watched Jiang Hao grow.

In a few hundred years, he had achieved such levels, no grand era could foster such a person.

Without further communication, the middle-aged man disappeared, then had Xu Bai leave.

After the person left, Gu Jin sighed: “Now it seems, not only can I not meet people, it’s best not to even ask.”
