Chen Jie discovered what he believed to be an Immortal Cave Mansion, guarded by a flood dragon. Inside, he found three drops of Immortal Blood on a table before a mysterious, terrifying stone door. Upon touching the blood, Chen Jie experienced a vision, seeing the story of a boy named Ah Dai who sought the meaning of life and the dao, ultimately becoming lost in his pursuit. Chen Jie found himself trapped by the same question, overwhelmed by the power of the Immortal Blood.

If Chen Jie cannot answer this question, or his understanding of Dao does not reach that level, he could likely suffer and be trapped within his sea of consciousness, with his demise occurring within the Flood Dragon Cave.

And don’t forget, outside there is the Siamese State Preceptor, and the Flood Dragon is returning; if Chen Jie wakes up a bit late, he might die here.

Chen Jie was completely dazed, his eyes focused on the world before him.

Looking at Ah Dai’s eyes cast through time and space, Chen Jie found himself engulfed in confusion in that moment, Dao!

He didn’t understand the Dao at all, yet if he couldn’t answer Ah Dai’s question, he wouldn’t be able to break free from the illusion realm before him, so he must explain what exactly Dao is.

Upon this realization, Chen Jie had to save himself.

What is Dao?

Chen Jie’s mind was racing quickly, and immediately he began speaking: "The Dao that can be told is not the eternal Dao."

Ah Dai remained puzzled, and there was even a hint of mockery in his eyes, are you trying to fool me with that?

Chen Jie had no choice but to continue thinking, and he said, "The way of heaven is to take from what has surplus and give to what is lacking..."

Ah Dai still showed no response.

At this point, Chen Jie had to say everything he could think of.

"Dao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, three gives birth to all things, all things carry yin and embrace yang, blending their energies to achieve harmony."

Ah Dai showed no reaction.

"Man follows the earth, earth follows the heavens, heavens follow the Dao, the Dao follows nature."

No reaction.

"The great Dao is simple, yet it generates countless transformations."

"There is a thing, chaotic but complete, born before heaven and earth..."

No reaction, no reaction, still no reaction, Ah Dai’s eyes seemed to see through everything, as if those wise sayings of the ancients couldn’t deceive him or shake him in the slightest.

By now, Chen Jie was helpless, this was definitely the biggest predicament in history.

Because in the past, during difficulties, Chen Jie always had a specific enemy to defeat.

But in this situation, Chen Jie has no enemy, only a pair of eyes with an insatiable thirst for the Dao; if he cannot speak a Dao that satisfies them, he would be trapped here forever.

Too careless!

Had he known this, he should have let the Siamese State Preceptor contact the Immortal Blood first; Chen Jie didn’t believe his understanding of Dao would be higher than his own, if he were to be trapped in this Dao, Chen Jie could then take advantage and deal with him, wouldn’t that be a good deal?

Unlike now, where he is trapped here, if the Siamese State Preceptor escaped from the Flood Dragon’s entanglement and turned against him, how would he handle the situation?

Understanding the cause and effect, Chen Jie deeply regretted it.

However, although Chen Jie thought this way, he couldn’t afford to gamble, or if there were another opportunity, he’d surely still find a way to contact the Immortal Blood first.

No choice, Chen Jie dared not gamble, the power of the Immortal Blood is too strong, if the Siamese State Preceptor really made contact with it first.

Chen Jie dared not gamble that the Siamese State Preceptor would also be trapped in this illusion realm; if not, he would indeed be in danger, or rather, have no chance at all, destined to fail.

If heaven granted him another opportunity, even knowing this illusion trap, Chen Jie would still choose to contact it first, because he essentially had no alternative.

Thinking this through, Chen Jie sighed, at present, there’s nothing to do but resign to fate.

Dao!

Asking himself what is Dao, this truly was a deadly question, he was no Taoist, if it were someone else, say one of those from Wudang, maybe there’d be a glimmer of hope, and if it were that Master Sanfeng.

Wait!

Thinking of Zhang Sanfeng, Chen Jie suddenly regained clarity, recalling something, he somehow had a piece of Master Sanfeng’s calligraphy!

That’s right, when he wed, Master Sanfeng had given him a piece of calligraphy which was his insight into the Dao.

If there were someone in this world whose insight into the Dao was deepest, undoubtedly it would be that Earthly Immortal, Master Sanfeng.

Upon this realization, Chen Jie immediately probed his spirit, pleasantly surprised to find he could connect with his storage ring, and he quickly searched, directly finding the calligraphy Master Sanfeng had given him.

At this moment, Chen Jie directly took out the calligraphy.

Within the illusion realm, those perplexed eyes looked at Chen Jie, noticing he took out a painting, confused as to its meaning.

Chen Jie then held the calligraphy in his hand, whispering in his heart, "Master Sanfeng, I’m counting on you!"

As he thought this, Chen Jie directly unfurled the calligraphy, in the next moment a giant Dao character appeared on the calligraphy.

Buzz!

The next moment, the calligraphy suddenly vibrated, then the calligraphy began to blur, with the black ink and white spaces swirling rapidly, forming a vortex shape.

As the vortex spun faster and faster, eventually returning from void to substance, the black and white colors suddenly manifested into a black and white figure.

This figure had an immortal demeanor, a kind face, holding a horsetail whisk, evident as a True Immortal.

Who else could this be but Master Sanfeng?

Seeing this Master Sanfeng materialize, the perplexed eyes in the air look at Master Sanfeng, and the two locked eyes.

At this moment, the perplexed eyes suddenly spoke, "What is Dao?"

Upon hearing this, Master Sanfeng immediately fell into contemplation, then spoke, "Dao is without beginning."

The perplexed eyes in the air slightly converged, then asked again, "What is Dao?"

At that moment, a powerful force descended directly upon this black-and-white Master Sanfeng, seeing Master Sanfeng hit by this question, as if suffering immense attack, the entire black and white body began to disperse.
