Chapter 1416

"Looking at the sky through a tube" comes from "Zhuangzi - Autumn Floods," and its meaning is similar to "sitting in a well and looking at the sky."

Kou and Xu, although born in the markets, were diligent enough. After stepping into the jianghu, they were constantly trying to improve themselves. Whether it was martial arts, military strategy, or tactics, they were always learning these things.

So at this moment, they understood the true meaning of Guiguzi's words.

And it was because they understood that they were even more curious about why Master would say such things.

Xu Ziling asked suspiciously: "According to Master, is there another realm above Grandmaster?"

When he said this, he couldn't help but glance at Kou Zhong.

In fact, they knew a little about the realm above Grandmaster.

Because from hearing the titles "Dao Lord" and "Evil Emperor" from Master's mouth, they thought of Su Xuan, and then thought of meeting Su Xuan after the battle at Jingnian Zen Temple, and hearing some jianghu secrets from Su Xuan.

About the Four Great Strange Books, about the ultimate realm of martial arts.

But that was Su Xuan's statement after all, and whether it was true was not yet certain. Right now, they really wanted to hear what Master would say.

Guiguzi also noticed the eye contact between the two disciples. He didn't mind and responded to them: "Above Grandmaster, there is indeed another realm. That realm is called Heaven-Man!"

"Heaven-Man?"

"Heaven and earth are one with me, and all things are born with me. This is Heaven-Man!"

"You should know that in the way of martial arts, the unity of heaven and man is an extremely brilliant realm, but not all martial artists can maintain the state of unity of heaven and man at all times. But after advancing to Heaven-Man, it is different. You will be in this mysterious state at all times, your spirit merging with the void. Facing a Heaven-Man level expert, what you face will no longer be individual power, but the power of the entire heaven and earth."

"The so-called Heaven-Man lies in the word 'harmony'!"

"The Dao follows nature, living in harmony with heaven and earth!"

"Is this the realm after Grandmaster?" Kou Zhong couldn't help but mutter to himself. Although he wasn't even a Grandmaster right now, this didn't affect his curiosity about those jianghu secrets.

Of course, after knowing that the realm after Grandmaster was called Heaven-Man, he had some new questions.

The ultimate martial arts Su Xuan mentioned that day was Shattering the Void. The so-called Shattering the Void was like a death-row prisoner seeing a gap in the cage, escaping through the gap, and then ascending to leave this world.

But according to Master, the realm above Grandmaster was Heaven-Man.

Heaven-Man was perfectly merging with this heaven and earth, not escaping this heaven and earth and breaking through the void.

These two were opposite and contradictory—one escaping this world, one merging into this world. Who was telling the truth?

Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong had great tacit understanding. When Kou Zhong thought of this, he also thought of it.
