Chapter 31 – What is the Way, the Patriarch makes his appearance

Yin Sanshi hated being called effeminate more than anything!

"You...!"

Yin Sanshi gritted his teeth, his gaze icy as he looked at Ning Tian, who was munching on an apple atop the high platform.

After a while.

"Forget it! I won't stoop to your level!"

Realizing that the other was the legendary Patriarch and the Empress's husband, Yin Sanshi could only swallow his anger.

Quickly.

The trace of anger on his face was hidden, replaced by a cold smile. "Everyone, I won't discuss any of the Three Thousand Daos..."

"Not discussing any of the Three Thousand Daos?"

"Then what is he discussing?"

"That's really strange..."

Hearing Yin Sanshi's words, a group of prodigies and disciples from the Heavenly Demon Sect began to murmur, curious about Yin Sanshi's behavior.

If he's not discussing the Dao,

Then what is he discussing?

Amidst the crowd's discussions, Yin Sanshi's lips curled slightly. He looked at everyone and said calmly, "I discuss, what is Dao?"

"What is Dao?"

Yin Sanshi's words struck like a heavy blow, crashing into everyone's hearts!

What is Dao?

They practiced the Dao of the Blade, the Dao of the Sword, the Dao of Music...

But,

When asked what Dao is?

They couldn't find an answer in their hearts.

Their minds were filled with confusion.

What is Dao?

Even some elders of the Heavenly Demon Sect were drenched in cold sweat, a hint of panic in their eyes.

This question.

It's too tricky!

"This question... I think no one can answer it, right?"

"Yin Sanshi's question is simply..."

"Tricky, utterly unsolvable! Sigh..."

A group of prodigies sighed, truly worthy of being a genius disciple of the Shadow Demon Sect, causing headaches with just a single question.

Upon hearing this question, Ling Ao and the Yaochi Saintess couldn't help but furrow their brows tightly.

Seeing everyone's reactions, Yin Sanshi's lips curled slightly. This question was inherently unsolvable!

People have debated it for thousands of years without coming up with any answer.

How could the disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect possibly solve it?

Yin Sanshi's lips curled into a confident smile.

"What? Is there no senior brother from the Heavenly Demon Sect who can answer my question?"

Yin Sanshi smiled, looking modestly at the disciples of the 108 halls of the Heavenly Demon Sect before him.

"This..."

"What is... Dao?"

The talented disciples of the 108 halls of the Heavenly Demon Sect looked somewhat uncomfortable, their faces flushed, unable to utter a word.

"What?"

Yin Sanshi's lips curled into a smile, his tone mocking, "Could it be that among the tens of thousands of disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect, not a single one can answer this simple question of mine?"

He came today precisely to give the Heavenly Demon Sect a show of force before his coup.

If he had the chance to embarrass the Heavenly Demon Sect, he would naturally seize it.

"A simple question?"

Upon hearing this, not just the disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect, even the prodigies twitched their lips.

What is Dao.

This question has troubled countless strong individuals!

It's truly an eternal question!

On the high platform, a group of elders gritted their teeth.

"This Yin Sanshi is definitely here to cause trouble!"

"To ask such a question, if not to cause trouble, then what?"

The elders gritted their teeth, full of anger.

"But knowing he's here to cause trouble, we can't just kick him out now."

The Great Elder shook his head, sighing, "If we expel the person discussing Dao now, I'm afraid our Heavenly Demon Sect will become a laughingstock!"

"Sigh..."

A group of elders sighed heavily.

Just then, the elders heard a mutter, "What is Dao? Such a simple question... I don't know what's so strange about it."

"......"

The elders were taken aback, suddenly looking at Ning Tian, who was munching on an apple.

The elders' expressions changed, a glint of light flashing in their eyes. Could it be that the Patriarch knows?

"Patriarch..."

Just as the Great Elder was about to ask Ning Tian to step in, he saw a jade foot extend, kicking Ning Tian, who was munching on an apple, off the platform.

Then, Ning Tian flew off the high platform in a strange posture, plummeting downward.

"What the hell!"

"Luo Wuqing! Are you trying to murder your husband?"

With a startled shout, a loud crash resounded.

Boom!

Dust rose from the Dao Discussion Platform as a figure crashed heavily.

"Luo Wuqing, you woman, are you trying to murder your husband? Just wait..."

Ning Tian rubbed his backside, glaring fiercely at Luo Wuqing on the high platform.

This woman actually kicked him!

But fortunately, his apple didn't fall to the ground and was still edible.

A group of prodigies watched Ning Tian make his entrance in such a manner, their lips twitching. This legendary Patriarch of the Heavenly Demon Sect even had a unique way of making an entrance.

"It's the Patriarch!"

"The Patriarch has appeared!"

"Hahaha! Yin Sanshi is doomed! The Patriarch will definitely solve his problem!"

Seeing Ning Tian appear, although his entrance was a bit unusual, the disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect felt a weight lifted off their hearts.

They hoped that this Patriarch, who always managed to surprise them, would astonish them once again.

"Oh?"

Yin Sanshi looked at Ning Tian, squinting his eyes, "This Patriarch of the Heavenly Demon Sect, are you here to answer my question?"

"Of course."

Ning Tian nodded slightly. He understood that Luo Wuqing had thrown him down to help deal with Yin Sanshi.

"Then I ask you, what is Dao?" Yin Sanshi asked slowly.

After asking this question, Yin Sanshi's lips curled slightly, his eyes filled with cold laughter.

He believed that this legendary Patriarch of the Heavenly Demon Sect before him couldn't possibly answer!

Hundreds of prodigies, countless disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect, and even Luo Wuqing and the elders on the high platform focused their gaze on Ning Tian.

Could the legendary Patriarch of the Heavenly Demon Sect answer?

"Such a simple question, I really don't know how it stumped you all."

Ning Tian shook his head, taking a bite of his apple, muttering.

"What!"

A group of prodigies, disciples, and elders were all shocked!

The Patriarch's words?

What did they mean?

Could it be, he really knows?

"Hmph! Just boasting!" Ling Ao sneered coldly, feeling disdainful of Ning Tian's nonchalant demeanor.

The Yaochi Saintess squinted her beautiful eyes, looking at Ning Tian, "This legendary Patriarch, I must say, is quite interesting..."

"Hehe!"

Yin Sanshi sneered, "Given the Patriarch's age, do you really understand? Then please, Patriarch, tell us, what is Dao?"

"Sometimes, things aren't determined by age!"

Ning Tian smiled calmly, speaking slowly.

"What is Dao?"

"Today, I will tell you what Dao is!"

A glint of light flashed in Ning Tian's eyes, "Dao is formless and shapeless, soundless and silent, vast and boundless, minute and subtle, yet it is the ultimate source that creates and governs all things in the universe!"
