The elder looked very old, just like a person in his sixties in his secular world.

The God Realm is different from the Immortal Realm. After the appearance is shaped, the changes are limited, but the God Realm will continue to change its appearance as it grows. As the age grows and strength increases, the appearance will remain unchanged, and may even become younger, just like an elder of the Zhou family, who looks younger than others.

The great elder seemed so old, which means that he was very old and his strength did not increase as well. It was equivalent to reaching a bottleneck. If he could not break through to the realm of the God King, he would continue to grow old and eventually die.

If he suddenly reaches the realm of the God King, his appearance will change again and become younger.

There are actually many people like the Great Elder in the God Realm. It is too difficult for the God General to break through to become the God King. Many people cannot take this step and eventually fall here.

As for Liu Yiyang, he was very young and had no change. He still looks very young now.

"very nice"

After accepting Liu Yiyang's full-strength attack, the elder slowly stood up and nodded in admiration.

"Second, please continue. From today on, Yi Yang is the third elder of our Zhou family, but his identity is only circulated among the elders, so don't reveal it to the outside world.

The elder said slowly, and the second elder was stunned, then his eyes widened again and his eyes shone brightly.

The third elder of the Zhou family was originally an eight-star god general, and he advanced much earlier than the fourth elder. The eldest elder said so clearly that Liu Yiyang's strength was higher than that of the third elder, so he ranked him third.

This also means that Liu Yiyang is now second only to the Great Elder and him, and has become the third largest figure in the Zhou family.

"yes"

The second elder hurriedly bent over with his fists and agreed. From his actions, it can be seen that the elder has a high status in his heart.

"Great Elder, is this appropriate?"

Liu Yiyang was a little surprised and couldn't help asking. He had just entered the Zhou family, but he was still the identity of a level five god. He suddenly became the third elder. Even if only the elders knew about the identity, someone might not accept it.

"Don't worry, there will be no problems"

The Great Elder grinned. Liu Yiyang didn't know the Great Elder's authority in the Zhou family. As long as the Great Elder said it, no one would have any objection.

"Second, you go out first, Yi Yang, stay here"

The Great Elder said again, and the Second Elder immediately bent down and left, while Liu Yiyang stayed with the Great Elder, looking at him strangely.

"Tell me, what is Tao?"

"road?"

The Great Elder suddenly asked, and Liu Yiyang seemed even more surprised. He did not expect the Great Elder to ask such a question. This is a question that only exists in the secular world. Few people in the fairy world are asking, and the cultivation of the fairy world is more about immortal power and understanding.

"Yes, Tao, tell me, your understanding of Tao"

The elder nodded and looked at Liu Yiyang with a very verified attitude. Liu Yiyang was silent for a moment, his eyes were still a little confused.

Strictly speaking, Tao is a saying in the secular world. There are many people who practice Taoism in the secular world and realize it, but unfortunately there are few successful people, and more people cultivate spiritual power. Only when the spiritual power is cultivated can they improve their realm, overcome the tribulation and ascend, and become immortals.

As for those who are simply enlightened, their ideological realm is very high, but in the end they are inevitably natural laws and cannot resist the natural aging of the body until they die.

"Tao is a pursuit, a belief. If you have Tao in your heart, there will be Tao. Tao can be satisfied with the spirit and can enhance your understanding. At the same time, Tao is too slim. If you blindly pursue Tao, it will eventually be just a moon in the water. You can only see it, but you can't catch it."

Liu Yiyang slowly recalled, and said softly according to his own understanding.

"Moon in the water?"

The Great Elder was a little strange. He didn't know what the moon in the water was. There was no moon in the divine realm.

Liu Yiyang laughed in silence. He stretched out his hand and a basin appeared in front of him, filled with water: "The moon in the water is a saying from my hometown. There is a bright moon in the sky in my hometown. When the moon appears, his reflection will appear in the water. This reflection is like a real moon, but when you go fishing, you find that the moon does not exist, you only fish for water."

Liu Yiyang said as he took out a shiny night pearl. The night pearl floated in the air, and the water surface in the basin reflected the appearance of the night pearl. He also reached into the water to fish it out, and then the water surface rippled, and the night pearl still existed and was still floating in the water.

"The moon in the water is a good description, this is a good statement"

The Great Elder smiled and kept nodding. He suddenly stretched out his hand and took it into the water. Liu Yiyang's eyes immediately widened. The Great Elder's hand that came out of the water was not covered with water, but was holding a night pearl, a night pearl floating above, which was exactly the same as that floating above.

"This, is it yours of the Great Elder?"

Liu Yiyang pointed at Ye Mingzhu in the hands of the Great Elder and asked in surprise. He thought this was the Great Elder who had the same night pearl, and he took it out just now.

"Look at it and talk about it."

The elder smiled slightly and reached out to hand Ye Mingzhu to Liu Yiyang. The night pearl was filled with charming fluorescence. Looking at Ye Mingzhu, Liu Yiyang's eyes became wider and wider, and he almost glared out his eyes.

This night pearl is exactly the same as the floating one. All the ripples and even the fluorescence are exactly the same. The two are placed together and cannot be separated.

"This is impossible"

Liu Yiyang screamed in surprise. Under his spiritual consciousness, this night pearl actually existed, exactly the same as the floating one. The spiritual consciousness was observed more carefully, and there was no difference between the two beads.

"The more impossible things are, the more likely they will happen. In fact, there is never impossible. It's like you practice so quickly, just like this bead."

The Great Elder smiled and shook his head. Liu Yiyang was even more shocked at this moment. He always thought that the Great Elder was just a powerful master. Now he realized that the Great Elder was not only super strong, but also had something he could not match in other aspects.

At least the Great Elder's move really shocked him.

"You can't catch the moon in the water, but if you have the moon in your heart, you can get it. This is the power of creation. Tao is actually creation. Tao produces one, one produces two, two produces three, and three produces all things, that's it."

The elder said slowly, and there was a hint of confusion in Liu Yiyang's eyes. He seemed to have caught something, but he seemed to have not caught anything.

What the Great Elder said is not complicated. He has heard of it in the secular world, but he has never cared about it. But today the feeling of the Great Elder's words gives him a completely different feeling. He seems to have been opened a new door. Although the door was only opened a little, it emits a bright light from it.

This is a door that opens the light.

"The Tao lives by everyone's side, everyone is a Tao, and everything is a Tao. When all the Taos gather together, they become the Tao of heaven. In fact, you and I are all members of the Tao of heaven. Only when we leave the Tao of heaven can we control ourselves and create ourselves."

"Great Elder, how can you realize the truth?"

Liu Yiyang asked unnaturally, and every word of the elder touched his heart, making him unable to help but ask.

"Tao is yourself, in your own heart. In fact, the technique we practice is to realize the Tao. After successful practice, everything that follows is a manifestation of Tao. Unfortunately, many people only think about the superficial power and forget that Tao is the root of it. Put the cart before the horse, and eventually go further and further away from Tao, and eventually deviate."

Liu Yiyang's body shook again. He was thinking about practicing and cultivating powerful power. He had almost no understanding of martial arts, and it changed naturally with the increase of divine power.

"The Tao is the foundation, and enlightenment is a moment, and not enlightenment is a moment. I have always wanted to disperse everything and achieve the kingly way. But this obsession cannot be cut off and cannot succeed, just like the moon in the water, which seems to be the moon, not the moon, and will eventually become the original form."

The elder said, the night pearl in Liu Yiyang's hand suddenly turned into a pool of water and remained on the ground from Liu Yiyang's fingers.

Liu Yiyang's eyes were round, and he was extremely shocked. He was very smart. He didn't understand much before, but he understood what the Great Elder had just said very well. The Great Elder was talking about himself.

The Great Elder is enlightened and wants to become the God King, but there is always a hint of obsession in his heart that affects him. If this obsession is not removed, he will not be able to achieve success. If he fails to achieve enlightenment, he will be like this night pearl, which seems to have become the moon, but in fact, it is just water, and will eventually become as it is.

The Great Elder is talking about himself. If he cannot succeed, he will still be the same as before and will eventually be unable to escape death.

"Great Elder, what is the God King?"

Liu Yiyang suddenly asked, even he himself didn't know why he asked such a question, but now he understood that it was not easy to become a god king when he saw the appearance of the Great Elder. If it were just a matter of strength, Liu Yiyang felt that the Great Elder would have long been qualified to win the god king, not like this now.

"The God King is the real moon"

The Great Elder smiled slightly, looked at the floating night pearl, and Liu Yiyang also looked at the bead, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

Not long after, Liu Yiyang left the Great Elder and returned to his house.

He saw the Great Elder for the first time today, and completely changed the impression of the Great Elder in his heart. Before, he only thought that the Great Elder was a powerful god general, but now he knew that the Great Elder's realm was much higher than that of him.

After leaving, he also understood why the Great Elder left him alone and said this to him.

The Great Elder is pointing out his point on the road to the God King. The God King is not as simple as improving his strength. The conditions for becoming a God King are very harsh and complicated. If it is just a promotion of strength, there will be many people who can become a God King.

There are many nine-star god generals in every royal city. There are so many nine-star god generals, but so many new god kings have rarely been born for so many years. This is a problem in itself.

The god kings all have a long life span, and one can only appear every hundreds of thousands of years. In these hundreds of thousands of years, many nine-star god generals will appear in the entire god world. All the royal cities together will definitely exceed 10,000, or more.

Only tens of thousands of nine-star gods can give birth to such a god king. This ratio is really low.

A nine-star god general like the Great Elder has almost stepped onto the realm of the God King with one foot, but it will never be useful if he can't step on the other foot. The Great Elder seems to understand his own problem, but he cannot solve it himself.

Liu Yiyang believed that there must be many people in the world of gods like the Great Elder. I don’t know who is more lucky among these people, and eventually breaks through to become the God King and takes that step.

And those who have not taken this step eventually disappeared into history.

"The God King, it's not that simple"

Back in his yard, Liu Yiyang shook his head with a wry smile. He had indeed been a little idealistic before, and it was so easy to see everything. He had thought about the issue of being promoted to the God King. He had even thought about the issue of being promoted to the God King as soon as time came, he could naturally become the new God King, and he would also become the fastest-growing God King in the divine world.

Only today did he realize that all of this was the moon in the water. If he could not understand these things and fully realize the truth, he would not be able to become the God King, and he would be just a powerful God General throughout his life.

At this moment, Liu Yiyang seemed to understand why the skills in the divine world start from the secular world and from the bottom. These simple skills contain the real Tao.

"Yi Yang, what did you say?"

"nothing"

Zhang Hui walked out of the room and looked at Liu Yiyang in confusion. Liu Yiyang hurriedly shook his head and quickly returned to his room.

Looking at Liu Yiyang's back, Zhang Hui became even more suspicious. After a while, he shook his head gently.

"Of course the God King is not simple. Is it still a God King? Why does Yi Yang say that? It looks very mysterious."

Zhang Hui couldn't figure it out, so she simply stopped thinking about it and returned to her room.

He only remembered after he went back that he wanted to have a good chat with Liu Yiyang today, but Liu Yiyang hid in the room as soon as he came back, leaving him with no chance.

That night, Liu Yiyang did not use the divine stone to continue practicing for the first time, but closed his eyes and meditated. His divine power was already strong enough that even the eight-star gods might not be his opponent, but in the understanding of Tao, he was still a real newcomer, and a newcomer who had no starting point.

The Great Elder said so much to him yesterday, but in fact he had already named him. Wanting to become a God King is not only a cultivation of divine power, but more importantly, the understanding of Tao.

It is a matter of a moment of understanding. It is also a moment of incomprehension. It is just that the concepts of two moments are different. The next moment may be that they have taken the wrong path and will never come back. This moment also changed all his destiny.

This also shows the importance of enlightenment.
