Everyone under the stage also showed a curious expression, wanting to know what Lu Hongzhi wanted to ask.

  "Dare I ask Brother Liu, what is an immortal?"

  As soon as the topic came up, the surroundings fell silent. They were just ordinary people, yet they dared to ask what it means to be immortal.

  Even if it were an envoy of the top ten sects, they would still be shocked.

  They were born in the cultivation world and had been exposed to a large amount of knowledge about immortality since childhood, but they knew nothing about immortals.

  Not to mention ten people, even if they were the top ten sect masters, it's unlikely that all of them would know.

  Everyone cultivates immortality, what is an immortal?

  What is the purpose of cultivating immortality, just for seeking a way to live forever?

  This topic has stumped everyone; no one can come up with an answer.

  Lu Hongzhi obviously had the intention of making things difficult for Liu Wuxie, letting him give up this round was not that easy, if Liu Wuxie couldn't come up with an answer, wouldn't it be like slapping Liu Wuxie in the face.

  Linghu Nation is a vassal state of the Dark Tide Empire, and they have long been at odds. The Dark Tide Empire has always wanted to kill Liu Wuxie, how could they let go of such a good opportunity?

  Lu Hongzhi couldn't kill Liu Wuxie, but he used this method to humiliate him.

  "Lu Hongzhi, you are so despicable! Who among us can answer this question?"

  Some empires couldn't help but look down on him, for example, the Azure Wind Empire. They didn't have any hostility towards Liu Wuxie and instead showed a friendly expression.

  The Black Chu Empire and the Blue Wind Empire have always been in a hostile relationship, which led to the enemy of an enemy becoming a natural friend.

  "Brother Liu is a dragon and phoenix among men, shouldn't you be able to answer?"

  Lu Hongzhi didn't get angry either, and smiled as he looked at Liu Wuxie, waiting for his response.

  Everyone looked at Liu Wuxie with an expectant expression, waiting for his response.

  Choosing to refuse to answer, he fell into Lu Hongzhi's trap, saying that he was ignorant of the way of cultivating immortality and didn't know how to cultivate it.

  Answering randomly will surely invite ridicule from others, pretending to understand when you don't.

  A hint of cold air flashed in the depths of Liu Wuxie's eyes, and Lu Hongzhi had calculated it very well. At this time, if he struck to kill his opponent, he would have fallen into their trap, because from the moment he stepped onto the stage, he had already acknowledged that he was no match for Liu Wuxie, and had already conceded defeat.

  "Three sentences can summarize everything, containing humans, immortals and gods!"

  A hint of a smile appeared on Liu Wuxie's lips, and no one understood Xian better than him.

  There's no need to tell them so clearly, three sentences are enough to summarize.

  "What! He wants to summarize humans, immortals and gods in three sentences, is he crazy?"

  From below came a wave of murmurs, thinking Liu Wuxie's words were absurd.

  Only a very few people showed an expectant look on their faces, wanting to know what Liu Wuxie would say.

  "Also please let Brother Liu know!"

  Lu Hongzhi also showed a hint of a smile and made a welcoming gesture, allowing Liu Wuxie to respond.

  Thousands of eyes focused on Liu Wuxie's face, disdainful, coldly smiling, and sarcastic... No one believed he could answer.

  "Having emotions and wisdom is what makes a human; when a human reaches the utmost goodness and sainthood, they become a god." Liu Wuxie paused suddenly after finishing speaking, bringing up humans and gods.

  "What a wonderful answer! A man with emotions and wisdom is called human, but one who is extremely good and holy is called divine!"

  A murmur ran through the crowd, and two sentences sounded like there was nothing particularly exquisite about them. After careful consideration, however, they seemed to have a profound and lasting appeal.

  With emotions and wisdom, how many people can achieve it? To some extent, many people are not worthy of being human.

  How many people can reach the ultimate goodness and holiness? Becoming a saint in flesh and a god on earth, such things are only limited to legends.

  Doing one good deed is easy, doing a lifetime of good deeds is harder than ascending to heaven. Moreover, one must possess a heart of utmost kindness, and among these people, ask themselves if they can achieve it.

  "Brother Liu has not answered my question yet."

  Lu Hongzhi's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and these two sentences had a great impact on him.

  Everyone's eyes gathered on Liu Wuxie's face once again. This time, each person had an expectant look, and the mocking and cold smiles disappeared.

  "The joy of being free from desires is what makes one an immortal!"

  Liu Wuxie finished speaking, and a tremor spread through the heavens and earth, as if connecting them, receiving the resonance of the heavens and earth. This was simply unimaginable.

  Endless golden light fell from the sky and landed on Liu Wuxie's body, like a god accepting the gift of heaven.

  "Hahaha...... I get it, we were both wrong."

  Shui Huan suddenly burst out laughing loudly, his whole person seeming like he had gone mad, Liu Wuxie's words having too great an impact on him.

  "How wonderful! I didn't expect that we, a group of cultivators, would be inferior to an ordinary mortal."

  Xie Jian glanced at Yu Tianyi and found that his eyes also showed a hint of solemnity, a hint of surprise, and more contemplation.

  None of the ten envoys were foolish people, and they heard too many profound meanings from Liu Wuxie's words.

  "We've always thought that the boundary is the only one, striving to improve our cultivation, but we don't know that without desires or pursuits, being carefree and happy is what it means to be an immortal, in order to break free from the constraints of heaven and earth and enter a higher realm. In the end, we are all ordinary people!"

  Luochu Die laughed bitterly one after another, they were all trapped by the constraints of secular society, and instead ignored the most essential things.

  When people are born, they originally have no desires or demands. They grow up happily and as children, they have no worries or concerns. Isn't that the kind of existence that is like a fairy in people's eyes?

  As they grew older, their hearts changed, becoming darker and filled with hatred and violence.

  Liu Wuxie's words were like a refreshing rain that poured down on their heads, shocking them awake.

  Everyone's eyes looking at Liu Wuxie were filled with reverence, but they didn't know that there was a second half to the sentence, and Liu Wuxie had only said the first half.

  Having no desires and seeking nothing is called being an immortal; not going against one's true nature is the only way to achieve the Dao of immortality.

  Cultivation is originally a path full of thorns, having no desires and seeking nothing is not wrong, seeking comfort will never find the way forward in cultivation, on the premise that it does not go against one's heart.

  Do anything with sincerity and you will be aware of your own inadequacies.

  Fewer than ten people in the room could understand this remark, and Yu Tianyi was one of them. His eyes gradually shone with brilliance as he inferred the second half of the sentence from the first.

  Other envoys are still pondering, give them some time, and it shouldn't be hard for them to come to a realization.

  "Brother Liu is a great talent, I admit defeat, you won this battle, congratulations Brother Liu for entering the top twenty!"

  Lu Hongzhi was too ashamed to continue staying on the stage, the actions and discussions of the people around him were already the best answer, he quickly made a fist and bowed, and walked down from the stage to avoid losing face.

  "Wait!"

  Liu Wuxie suddenly stopped Lu Hongzhi, who stood still with a somewhat unpleasant expression.

  "Is it okay to go on like this?!"

  A flash of killing intent, from Liu Wuxie's eyes that flashed by, if it were an ordinary matter, Liu Wuxie wouldn't have pursued the inquiry.

  Lu Hongzhi's intention was to make him lose face, but the meaning has changed now.

  "Brother Liu, what else can you teach me?"

  Lu Hongzhi asked cautiously, he could feel that the killing intent on Liu Wuxie's body was very strong, and the previous conversation was instructed by the people of the Dark Tide Empire, not his own words.

  "It's impolite not to return a visit. You ask me one question, I'll ask you one back. If you can't answer..." Hmph!

  One last cold snort, representing Liu Wuxie's anger at this moment, how could he let him leave just like that.

  Lu Hongzhi's face looked very unsightly, his eyes involuntarily gazing in the direction of the Dark Tide Empire, all of which fell into Liu Wuxie's eyes.

  Mingtiao Empire's Ji Xinghe nodded, indicating Lu Hongzhi to respond.

  He has already admitted defeat, and Liu Wuxie will at most let him lose some face, but won't kill him, so you can rest assured.

  "Brother Liu, may I ask?"

  Lu Hongzhi made a gesture of asking for advice with his right hand.

  "What is the Way!"

  The question asked by Lu Hongzhi has a similar subtlety, the Tao and the immortal way, which seem unrelated at first, but are actually closely connected.

  Everyone was stunned, what kind of question is this, it's a thousand times more difficult than "what is immortality".

  Road!

  Ethereal and elusive, invisible and intangible, as if it doesn't exist in this world, yet truly and really existing.

  Lu Hongzhi stood there with a foolish expression, his mouth agape.

  "Please respond, Brother Lu!"

  Liu Wuxie's face was expressionless, his piercing eyes staring at Lu Hongzhi, who felt extremely uneasy and avoided eye contact.

  Time passed minute by minute and second by second. Lu Hongzhi was anxious, cold sweat dripping down his face, with beads of sweat on his forehead, his eyes constantly looking towards the Dark Tide Empire.

  They also looked bewildered and didn't know how to respond.

  "Can't Brother Lu answer?" Liu Wuxie sneered coldly.

  The atmosphere suddenly became extremely tense, with a faint murderous intent lingering in the air of the arena.

  "I don't know how to answer!"

  Lu Hongzhi was very direct and admitted that he couldn't answer, anyway he had already conceded defeat, so Liu Wuxie didn't dare to kill him.

  "Bang!"

  A residual shadow was left on the stage, Liu Wuxie disappeared in an instant, a slap went out, and Lu Hongzhi's body fell off the stage, with a blood-red palm print left on his left cheek.

  "This is a lesson for you, if you want to be a dog, you must have the consciousness of being a dog."

  Liu Wuxie seemed to have done something extremely simple, with one palm strike sending Lu Hongzhi flying, and then walking down from the stage as if nothing had happened.

  No one expected that Liu Wuxie would be so clean and efficient, without giving the crowd a chance to react, Lu Hongzhi had already flown out.

  "Liu Wuxie, you're asking a ridiculous question with no answer, what right do you have to hurt people!"

  The other proud sons of the Linghu nation could no longer stand it and questioned Liu Wuxie one after another.

  "That's right, this question, no one can answer it. I think you're doing it on purpose. I didn't expect you to be so petty. Brother Lu just asked you for advice on a problem, but you actually knocked him off the stage."

  The arrogant ones of the Dark Tide Empire followed suit and joined forces to overthrow Liu Wuxie.

  "You don't obey!"

  Liu Wuxie stopped in his tracks, and the overwhelming killing intent surged towards the people of Linghuo Country, scaring them into quickly retreating backwards.

  Everyone knows that Liu Wuxie kills people without blinking an eye, and has killed many people in the past few days.

  "We are not disobedient, but unwilling, it's a pity for Lu brother to be schemed by a despicable person like you."

  Other members of the Linghu nation burst into cold laughter, unable to defeat Liu Wuxie, they could only use this verbal insult.

  But little did they know that any humiliation would have no effect on Liu Wuxie, as he had long since reached a state of desirelessness and detachment, the only difference between him and an immortal being was his cultivation level, not his mental state.

  "What will you do then?"

  Liu Wu Xie asked back, wanting to know what they were going to do.

  "It's very simple, as long as you can answer what is Tao, we are willing to admit defeat."

  A proud son of the Linghu nation stepped forward, saying that as long as Liu Wuxie could tell them what the Tao was, they would willingly concede and no longer make things difficult for him.

  "What kind of thing are you, if you ask me to answer, I will answer."

  Liu Wuxie swept his palm, and several Tianjiao of Linghuo Country who were standing in front of him were directly blown away.

  What did you take him for? If you want to ask, just ask. I'll answer if you let me. Liu Wuxie won't be manipulated by them at will.
