Inside the secret chamber.
Han Li's face was solemn. He was carving runes on the ground, arranging the array he used to kill the Evil Corpse last time.
After carving the runes, he took out stacks of array flags and array discs and began to arrange them.
This array was extremely complicated. Even with his previous experience, it took him a whole day to arrange everything. A Yin and Yang Fish shaped array appeared in the room.
Countless thumb-sized talismans danced in the array, emitting bursts of crystal light. The entire secret chamber was enveloped in a sea of light.
Han Li looked around and nodded with satisfaction. He waved his hand and an Earth Immortal puppet appeared. He placed it in the Yin Fish of the Yin Yang Formation and sat on the Yang Fish.
After calming himself down, he immediately made a hand sign to activate the array.
A hemispherical light screen emerged and enveloped him and the Earth Immortal puppet. Then, one after another, chains condensed from flames, cold air, and lightning shot out from the light screen, piercing into the puppet's body.
After doing this, Han Li closed his eyes and entered the Sea of Knowledge.
Unlike the last time he killed the Evil Corpse, the space in his sea of consciousness was completely silent. A white-clothed Han Li was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed in concentration.
"You're here?"
The white-robed Han Li opened his eyes and looked at him. His expression was calm and peaceful, without the slightest intention of fighting.
"You're waiting for me?" Han Li was surprised. He secretly gathered his strength and maintained his composure.
"You don't have to be so cautious. I'm not the Evil Corpse. I have no intention of fighting you. Please sit." The white-robed Han Li smiled faintly and pointed.
The Void in front of him moved. A cushion and a tea table appeared out of thin air. On the tea table, there was a teapot and two teacups.
Han Li squinted his eyes. These things were formed by the power of Divine Sense. They looked no different from real objects.
Even he couldn't control the Divine Sense like this. But the Good Corpse in front of him could do it with just a wave.
"What do you mean?" Han Li sat cross-legged opposite the Good Corpse and asked.
"You and I are born from the same root. It is innate for the three corpses and the main body to fight over the physical body. However, it is not necessary to fight to decide who will occupy the physical body."
The white-robed Han Li picked up the teacup and poured two cups of tea. He pushed one cup in front of Han Li and took a sip of the other.
"If we cultivators don't fight to decide the outcome, then how do we decide?" Han Li didn't touch the tea.
"It's very simple. We just need to discuss the Dao," said the white-robed Han Li with a chuckle.
"Sparring?" Han Li frowned slightly.
"That's right. I want to discuss the Dao of Good and Evil with you. If I'm satisfied with your answer, I'm willing to give up fighting for this body," said the white-robed Han Li.
"Oh …" Han Li raised his eyebrows.
"Of course, if your answer doesn't satisfy me, then don't blame me for taking it by force," the white-robed Han Li said.
"Then you can try." The sharpness in Han Li's eyes shone brightly as he laughed.
An incomparably powerful Divine Sense erupted from his body. The nearby Divine Sense Space rumbled and trembled as if the world was angry.
The teacup in the white-robed Han Li's hand shattered with a bang and turned into nothingness.
"As expected of the main body's consciousness. You have some ability." The man frowned slightly, then immediately relaxed and chuckled.
As he spoke, a wave of light flashed in his hand and condensed into a brand new cup.
"Since you want to discuss the Dao, then I will naturally accompany you. If you have anything to ask, just ask." The imposing manner on Han Li's body also converged like a tide as he said lightly.
"Well, then I would like to ask your excellency, who is good and evil?" The white-robed Han Li asked.
"There is no good and evil in people. The so-called good and evil exist in one's heart." Han Li said lightly.
If he was asked to talk about good and evil in the past, he was afraid that he would not be able to explain it. However, with the previous hundred years of immersion in the small city of Xiangyi, he also read a lot of classics about this in his spare time. Combining the two, he naturally had a lot of understanding and experience about the good and evil in this world.
"As the saying goes, good will be rewarded, evil will be punished, but in fact, this is not the case.
There are many good people in the world, but their families live in poverty, and some people do evil, but live freely and happily. Why is this? "The white-robed Han Li asked again.
"Your question is just like a leaf blinding the eye, unable to see Mount Tai.
What is good and what is evil, it is not easy to judge from the surface.
As long as it is beneficial to others, it is beneficial to the world, even if it is beating or cursing people, it is also good. On the contrary, if it is only to achieve one's own goal, even if it is to respect and love people, it will become currying favor, and it is also evil.
If a person does good and accumulates virtue, even if he lives in poverty, his descendants will often be prosperous. On the other hand, if a person is opportunistic, even if he gets a moment of wealth, he will not have a good ending. "Han Li said lightly.
When the white-robed Han Li heard this, he nodded slightly, and then asked again:
"Then what is good, and what is evil?"
"If it is beneficial to oneself and others, it is good. If it is harmful to oneself but beneficial to others, it is great good.
If it is harmful to oneself and others, it is evil. If it is beneficial to oneself but harmful to others, it is great evil. "Han Li said calmly.
"As long as you do something that is beneficial to others, can it be called good?" The white-robed Han Li asked lightly.
"No, if you have the heart to do good, although good is not rewarded, if you do good with a purpose, it is only hypocrisy. If you do good from the heart, and don't ask for anything in return, that is true good." Han Li shook his head and said.
"An old man fell into the water, and another young merchant passed by and saved the old man. The old man gave an ingot of silver as a thank you gift, and the merchant happily accepted it. Is this good?" The white-robed Han Li asked again with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.
"Good." Han Li said.
"According to what you said just now, not asking for anything in return is true good. If the merchant accepted the silver, didn't he get something in return? How can it be called right?" The white-robed Han Li asked.
"Regardless of whether the merchant thought of something in return before he saved the old man, after this matter spreads, it will definitely inspire people to do good. As long as it is beneficial to all living beings, it can be called good." Han Li said.
"There is a saying in the world: a kind person will be bullied by others. What do you think?" The white-robed Han Li asked again.
"This kind of thing does exist in the world, but it is only a small number. It is not normal. We must be open-minded and accept these injustices. Only then can we stand in an invincible position. If we are resentful because of it, then we will be at a disadvantage." Han Li said.
"I didn't expect you to have such a deep understanding of the true meaning of good. I am impressed.
I still have one last question, and I hope you can answer it. "The white-robed Han Li was silent for a moment, and after a sigh, he said.
"Please speak." Han Li said with a smile.
"The people of the world talk big when they talk about principles, but when they act, they have high standards but low ability. Fellow Daoist has a deep understanding of the true meaning of kindness, but how should we cultivate kindness?" asked the white-robed Han Li as he looked at Han Li with a burning gaze.
Han Li was silent for a moment before he slowly said, "Do not take or give up any law; do not be stained or stubborn in all matters; do not move or waver in all situations; do what is convenient at all times; follow all sentient beings and make them happy. This is the cultivation of good law."
"I don't take or give up anything in all techniques; I don't have any stains or attachments in all matters; I don't move or waver in all situations; I always take convenience in all times …" The white-robed Han Li muttered to himself.
"Haha, good. Fellow cultivator's four sentences are marvelous. I admire you!" The white-robed Han Li clapped his hands and laughed.
Amidst the laughter, the white-robed Han Li's body turned into a ball of white light and flew outside, as if he was about to leave the sea of consciousness.
However, there was a pulling force in his sea of consciousness, preventing the white light from leaving.
When Han Li saw this scene, he was delighted.
His eyes focused, and he raised his hands and slashed down heavily in front of him. He shouted, "Slash!"
An incomparably sharp sword shadow appeared in the sea of consciousness and slashed in the air.
"Chi!" The connection between the Good Corpse and the sea of consciousness was immediately severed, and it flew out with a "swoosh".
In the secret chamber, Han Li opened his eyes, and a ball of white light flew out from his body.
His body shook violently, and nearly half of his Celestial Spiritual Energy and Time Crystal Thread separated from his body, and followed closely behind the ball of white light.
After the white light flew out, it flashed and entered the body of the Earth Immortal puppet in the array.
A bloody light flashed on Han Li's face, and blood burst out from his seven apertures. He could not help but let out a muffled groan.
Although the white light took away nearly half of his Celestial Spiritual Energy and the power of the law, the 1320th Immortal Aperture in Han Li's body was suddenly connected, and his cultivation level reached the Late-stage of the Grand Heavenly Realm.
"Buzz!"
An invisible force suddenly descended and shrouded Han Li.
The void around him was completely distorted, as if he was isolated from the world, and his whole body floated up from the ground.
The void above Han Li's head suddenly split to two sides, and an endless golden sea was revealed.
A vast power of the law radiated from the golden sea, and shrouded his body.
Han Li's expression changed. He felt a trace of the Heavenly Way from the golden sea, which contained a kind of vast, ancient, and rule aura.
His current strength was very close to the peak of the Immortal Realm, but in the face of this power, he still felt like an ant, and could not put up any resistance.
Although the aura emitted by Bone Emperor, Samsara Temple Master, and other Tao Ancestor level existences was extremely strong, it was still too weak compared to this golden sea.
"This golden sea, could it be the Law of Time of the Heavenly Way …" Han Li was shocked and murmured to himself.
At this moment, the golden sea suddenly rolled violently, and the next moment, a golden light was projected from it, and poured into his body.
The golden light contained the extremely powerful power of the Law of Time, and directly integrated into the power of the law in Han Li's body.
Han Li's body was full of golden light, and the lost power of the Law of Time in his body quickly recovered, and in a few breaths, he had reached his previous peak.
The Time Crystal Thread also quickly condensed, and in the blink of an eye, it had recovered to 1,800.
The nearby void continued to roll, and waves of the Heaven and Earth's Essence Qi seeped out and integrated into Han Li's body.
The Celestial Spiritual Energy in Han Li's body immediately recovered, and in the blink of an eye, it was completely restored.
In the side room of the cave mansion, Violet Spirit, who was cultivating cross-legged, seemed to feel something, and suddenly opened her eyes. Her beautiful eyes were full of shock as she looked at the secret room where Han Li was cultivating.
