[KidAnnihilation(165): Theo how do you know one of us isn’t just the author’s alt account?One of us could be acting like a friend just to misguide and harm you.Think about it ]

…

Theo closed his eyes for a moment, thinking about this power.

’What is Dao? It is similar to the power I know, but not exactly the same. Both of them are powers that revolve around nature, but I think there is a difference. My original power came from the world to rule over nature.

’However, this so-called Dao is also related to nature, but to get it, one has to observe nature, aligning oneself with the natural order. Instead of controlling or governing nature, we have to live with it, huh?

’Now that I think about it, everything is governed by the so-called Heavenly Dao, which is this world’s consciousness. In that case, the Heavenly Dao must not grant the Dao to someone. Instead, it produces this Dao to create nature in this world.

’In other words, if one wants to get the Dao, one should seek it in nature. There is no need for me to go all the way to the Heavenly Dao to get one because everything has been around me.

’In that case, why do I not sense the illusion or reality? This confirms my suspicion from earlier. There is no Dao of Illusion or Reality. In that case, what does this place have?’

Theo kept thinking about it. He didn’t feel anything, but Qin Beihe, who was riding next to him, couldn’t help but drop her jaw.

After closing his eyes, Qin Beihe couldn’t help but glance at Theo, wondering what he was doing.

At first, she thought her eyes were playing with her. After all, she saw Theo’s body getting distorted.

’What did I see?’ Qin Beihe rubbed her eyes, making sure that nothing was in her eyes. But the distortion didn’t cease. It continued hovering around Theo’s body. Even the Dragon Horse noticed something different from the guy who rode him. The head only took a glance, was shocked, and turned back to the road.

It realized that its contractor was doing something amazing, but it couldn’t comprehend it.

Qin Beihe, on the other hand, felt chills down her spine. ’What is going on? Is this…’

She couldn’t help but remember what the elders in the sect said. "Beihe. If you want to get stronger, you have to find your own Dao."

"Elder. How do you find it?"

"I don’t know. You have to continue meditating and finding your Dao, and eventually, the Dao will respond back to you."

"Really?"

"Yeah. I once witnessed someone finding their Dao. His body was set ablaze out of nowhere, but surprisingly, not a single strand of his hair went missing. It was a unique phenomenon that only a select few could achieve.

"And it took a very long time for someone to get a Dao. Even your master needed more than a hundred and fifty years to find his Dao. That was why if you want to become his successor, you have to find your Dao, no matter how long it will take."

"Un."

Back then, she didn’t think much about it. There was only one thing to do, which was to continue her path while seeking her own Dao.

However, it all changed when she witnessed the person before her. His age was similar to hers, but her strength was beyond her comprehension. But the most terrifying thing about him was that she witnessed the phenomenon with her own eyes.

She didn’t know what kind of phenomenon Theo was currently experiencing, but it was clear that this was related to Dao.

Did he comprehend Dao just by listening to her? Qin Beihe was completely astounded.

If this matter were known to others, there was no doubt that they would believe that Theo was a peerless talent that the world had never seen before. There would be competition in trying to acquire Theo. And another question was, who actually taught him?

Theo’s life would become vastly different once he comprehended the Dao. If he were to join a sect, he would have become the successor of the sect. They would spare nothing to nurture Theo and other sects would do anything to eliminate him.

And currently, the one who had the biggest opportunity to recruit him was none other than her and the Green Flower Ridge.

’Will he accept my invitation? No, he just saved me and I even owed him... What should I do? What can I do to invite him?’ Qin Beihe didn’t know how to negotiate with Theo.

While Theo was kind enough to lend her a hand, it didn’t change the fact that his treatment of her was quite cold and distant. It felt like Theo was trying to put a wall between them. Continue your journey on novelbuddy

There was one thing clear. Qin Beihe or their Green Flower Ridge shouldn’t offend Theo. If anything happened, they would have to kill Theo before he could grow.

The dilemma would be haunting her for the extension of the trial.

Meanwhile, the culprit who created that dilemma was still swimming in his sea of thought.

Illusion and Reality were like the two sides of a coin. However, it also meant that they were made of the same coin. The materials, the process, and even the value were the same. That was why Theo couldn’t help but wonder what kind of material would benefit him the most.

His power could create elements like fire, ice, or even darkness. If he wanted it, even the law of physics would be altered. So, would it be the Dao of Elements that he picked? Or would it be another Dao?

Theo had a hard time choosing. It showed how versatile his Reality power was.

’I can’t see what kind of Dao I want. And by having this Dao, I also have to adjust my rules. No, wait. Should I just pick a Dao that matches my rules? But what is that Dao?’

Theo was lacking some knowledge about the spiritual qi that the natives of this world were familiar with. While its characteristics had been generalized with the name of essence, the flow of the spiritual qi was still unique only to this world.

That was why he felt he didn’t have enough information to determine his power.

His thought was soon interrupted by the trembling ground.

*Bam!*

It felt like he heard something crashing to the ground, so Theo decided to stop thinking and opened his eyes.

"Hmm?" Theo couldn’t help but furrow his eyebrows when looking at the beast in front of him. The beast looked like a rhino, but its horn was emitting a faint light as though it were a crystal.

Its skin seemed to be as tough as metal and its height reached as high as seven meters. From this rhino’s perspective, Theo and Qin Beihe must have looked like ants.

Theo couldn’t help but furrow his eyebrows. On the one hand, he felt that this monster wasn’t as simple. On the other hand, there was a need to challenge this rhino. After all, standing behind this rhino was a huge white pavilion. If they looped around this beast, the rhino might just turn around and destroy the pavilion.

Theo thought for a moment before saying, "Loop around this beast and go to that place. With this, the deal has ended. I’m going to fight this beast."

"Wha—!" Qin Beihe’s body trembled. She had been thinking about how to bring Theo to the Green Flower Ridge, but he actually pushed her away without a second thought. "I can help!"

Theo clicked his tongue as his expression darkened. "Can’t you even understand what I’m trying to say? You’re in the way, so get lost."

"A…" Qin Beihe wanted to refute those words, but she hadn’t done anything noteworthy the whole time. In fact, Theo’s strength had surpassed any foundation establishment cultivators she had encountered so far.

"Get her away." Theo didn’t bother to talk to her anymore. Instead, he was asking the horse that carried her to move away. After that, he whispered to his horse. "Are you scared?"

*Ngieehhh!*

The horse responded. Although Theo didn’t understand what he was saying, he could see the determination in his eyes. The horse was ready to fight this giant rhino.

"By the way, do you know how to get stronger? I have said that I will take care of you, so I want to keep my promise."

*Ngieehhhh!* The horse nudged his head up as if telling him that the secret of his strength would be on the rhino. It seemed that the horses weren’t herbivores here as this one was definitely trying to eat the rhino.

"Hahaha. That’s good then. I will defeat the rhino, and you’ll eat it." Theo smiled.

The horse’s gaze returned to the rhino, solemnly facing this gigantic beast.

Before Theo reached the rhino, he couldn’t help but take a look at the comments. He didn’t have a lot of time, but there was something that piqued his interest, so he decided to reply inwardly.

’You said that my life is in very imminent danger. Were you talking about this rhino? If that were the case, you only claimed that I would probably be fine but didn’t include the horse…’ Theo squinted his eyes, feeling something didn’t add up.

’I can’t think of anything. I mean, there are simply too many possibilities that can endanger my life like the owner of the tomb is suddenly getting ressurected and decided to kill everyone, the author is planning for a legendary beast as an opponent, and other things. Either way, I will still do it in my own way.’

’As for whether it’s just the author’s alt account or not, I don’t really care to be honest. If it’s the author’s alt account, it means that he still cares enough about the story to bother with that. And it’s also a sign that he might be trying to guide me to something. Don’t know if it’s good or bad for me though.

’That’s why even if it’s trying to harm me, I don’t have any other choice but to fall for it. The author might be trying to kill me, but it doesn’t change the fact that he will leave something behind as a clue. If there is no equal exchange, the story won’t progress, which will kill this story.’

After replying to the comments, Theo raised his left hand, creating a path of light that was only visible to him and his horse. This rhino was stronger than it looked, and because there were so many people trying to enter the palace, he believed that this rhino was a trial meant to be raided together by fellow cultivators. It was a kind of test that tried to decide whether the cultivators were able to lower their pride and ask for help or not.

’Let’s see how strong this rhino is, shall we?’ Unfortunately, the rhino’s opponent was Theo, who was wielding the spirit sword. Unexpectedly, Theo thought about something related to the problem he encountered earlier. He added, ’By the way, readers, what kind of Dao do you think suits me the most? Why do you think it suits me?’
