So looking at it this way...
The choice of these nine identities is very important.
Only by choosing an identity that suits you can you carry out the Dao as quickly as possible.
For example, for people with higher understanding.
The method of retreating to attain enlightenment may be an option that suits you.
Although Xiao Shi has always been good at understanding.
But he felt that seclusion and enlightenment... was not his first choice.
Because there are other identities that are more suitable for him than this one.
For example, the Chuwudao Robe (VII) that he was looking at at this moment.
The way of mastering the Dao for this identity is more suitable than attaining enlightenment through seclusion.
Because the way of holding the Dao with this identity is...
Killing!
The main thing is to gain control through continuous killing!
Xiao Shi's path of martial arts is based on killing. It can be said that he has been killing since he entered the martial arts realm and has reached the level of a saint today.
Even the improvement of his own understanding was achieved through constant killing.
So for him.
There is no better way to exercise one's power than killing.
But the more troublesome thing is...
Among these identity choices, he can only choose the last one.
This means you may not have the chance to choose this identity.
Xiao Shi immediately checked all the other identities again.
I want to see if there is anything more suitable for me than killing.
However, after looking around.
I have not found any better way to practice Taoism than killing.
The only two methods second only to killing are meditation and enlightenment, and formation palm techniques.
In addition to having a powerful understanding that surpasses ordinary people.
The plundering of the talents of the geniuses of the Guizhen clan also allowed him to have remarkable attainments in formations.
However, both the practice of meditation in seclusion and the practice of formations are far inferior to the practice of killing.
Can only be used as an alternative.
What Xiao Shi is thinking about now is how he can choose the identity corresponding to the Initial Martial Arts Robe (VII) so as to get the opportunity to master the Killing Palm.
Currently including Xiao Shi.
There are six of them here in total.
Nine different identities can be chosen.
As the last candidate, Xiao Shi can only choose from the four identities left by other candidates.
This makes it difficult to ensure that you can choose the Killing Palm.
In the worst case scenario, not only might you not be able to choose the Killing Palm, you might not even be able to choose the Meditation and Enlightenment Palm or the Formation Palm.
At the same time, he couldn't go against this order of selection.
After all, this selection order is the rule set by these people.
It can be seen from the moment he approached, someone immediately attacked him.
These people attach great importance to the choice of identity.
They would never tolerate a newcomer like me making a choice earlier than them.
If these people are all Half-Step Dao Masters, then Xiao Shi might be able to try to forcibly seize this identity.
But when there is a Taoist master among them.
Even if he tried to snatch it by force, he would not be able to get this identity.
It just depends on luck...
soon.
When the Taoist master with silver hair and silver boy finished speaking.
He began to make his choice.
This also made Xiao Shi realize that this Taoist master with silver hair and silver boy was the first person among them to arrive at the initial martial arts era.
Presumably this is also the reason why he is the only one among all the people who became the Taoist master.
The other party has experienced the most resets.
Naturally, he is the one with the greatest hope of becoming the Taoist master.
But what puzzled Xiao Shi was...
The other party has obviously become a Taoist master, why does he still want to stay here to choose an identity
In Xiao Shi's opinion.
Since the purpose of these people entering the initial martial era is to take control of the Heavenly Dao, after becoming Dao masters, they should naturally leave here and return to the Tianwu Continent.
If you want to gain eternal life in the Early Martial Age, you can choose to join the Early Martial Age.
This way, at least the lifespan will not be lost after each reset.
Otherwise, even if you are the Taoist master.
With repeated resets, one's own lifespan will gradually be exhausted, and in the end, it will be a dead end.
To gain eternal life here, one must join the First Martial Age.
Think about it.
Xiao Shi felt that there were two reasons why the other party continued to stay here.
First, the other party has not found a way to leave the Chuwu Era, but does not want to join the Chuwu Era, so he can only be forced to stay here.
Second, although the other party has become the Lord of Tao, what he controls is not the Heavenly Dao, so he wants to stay and control the Heavenly Dao.
After all, for them.
The reason why they came to the early martial arts era was for the Way of Heaven.
No one will be satisfied with the ordinary way.
But normally speaking.
Whether it is the way of heaven or the way of the mortals, one can usually only control one way.
Xiao Shi had never heard of anyone who could master multiple paths.
Once there are many different paths on your body.
Because of the conflict of Tao, the body cannot bear it and will explode.
It was just like before in the Imperial Domain, when the three royal guards forcibly condensed their own Dao into Cheng Riyou's body, which directly caused the power in Cheng Riyou's body to become chaotic, and he was on the verge of exploding on the spot.
Therefore, even if the Dao that the other party holds is not the Dao of Heaven, it is likely that he will find it difficult to continue to hold the second Dao.
Xiao Shi was more inclined to the first reason he guessed.
Judging from the expressions of others.
They were not surprised that the Taoist master with silver hair and silver boy continued to stay here.
Obviously knows the real reason.
However, these people are generally indifferent, and even have some hostility towards Xiao Shi.
Before this, it was the Taoist master with silver hair and silver boy who told Xiao Shi a lot of information about the early martial arts era.
These people were all silent.
Didn't reveal anything.
For now.
Xiao Shi only felt kindness from this Taoist master with silver hair and silver boy.
at the same time.
The Taoist master with silver hair and silver boy looked around at the nine cloaks and hats in front of him, then suddenly turned his gaze to Xiao Shi and said with a smile.
"How about... I'll let you choose first."
"Um?"
Xiao Shi was not happy about this.
Instead, he frowned.
He firmly believes that there is no kindness in this world without reason.
Especially when everyone here was indifferent to him, this person kept showing kindness. This abnormal behavior had already aroused Xiao Shi's high vigilance.
However, the Taoist master with silver hair and silver boy had already anticipated Xiao Shi's reaction.
He explained with a smile.
"Don't worry, I have no intention of harming you. I am just following my own path."
"I forgot to tell you that the path I am currently in control of is the path of goodness!"
Xiao Shi was stunned by this.
"Good way?"
He couldn't help but think of the palm-strike method he had just seen on one of the beginner martial arts robes.
cause and effect!
Realize the good path that the other party is now in charge of.
It is very likely that it is a way of controlling the Tao through the principle of cause and effect.
But the way of good is not the way of heaven!
"Could it be that... in the early martial arts era, one can really master multiple paths?"
Xiao Shi's heart was pounding.
Since these people are here to take control of the way of heaven.
Then there is no reason to take charge of the mortal world.
The only explanation...
Even if one controls the mortal way in the early martial arts era, one can still control the heavenly way!
This also explains why the other party did not leave after becoming the Taoist master, but continued to stay here.
For the good way.
When Xiao Shi read the Records of the Three Realms of Martial Arts, after gaining a detailed understanding of the entire Dao Lord Realm, he had a certain understanding of the many Daos that existed in the world.
Know that there is indeed a good path in the world.
At the same time, the path of goodness is also a kind of path of cause and effect.
Those who hold the path of good usually gather good results by doing good deeds, thereby gaining great strength.
For example, this person does a good deed to you.
He can plant a good fruit in himself.
The more good he does to himself, the more this good fruit will grow.
After that, when his strength and cultivation level improves, he will be able to improve simultaneously through the good fruit in his body.
The more vigorous the good fruits grow, the greater the improvement that can be obtained.
That is to say.
Those who are in charge of this path only need to continue to do good, especially to those who have potential and hope to become strong and powerful.
That way you can get the most improvement.
certainly.
The prerequisite is that Xiao Shi will accept his kindness.
If Xiao Shi chooses to refuse.
Then the other party won't be able to reap good results on himself.
"It seems that it's not just me. He has helped everyone here to some extent. He has planted good seeds in everyone..."
Xiao Shi suddenly realized.
No wonder this person behaved differently from others from the very beginning.
To this.
After a brief thought.
Did not reject the other party's kindness.
Since this person's behavior is based on his own Tao, there is no need to reject it.
After all, the path of kindness itself is a way of constantly doing good, and it will not bring any harm or hidden dangers to oneself.
Even for the Taoist master with silver hair and silver boy, after he has planted the seeds of good in himself, he will only continue to help himself.
If you encounter any crisis or difficulties.
The other party will also provide rescue.
Because only when he helps himself more, the good fruits he plants in himself will grow stronger.
However, there is one exception.
If Xiao Shi and other saints here got into a fight.
The Taoist master with silver hair and silver boy will not favor any side, he will only act as a peacemaker.
Because there are good results on both sides.
He would not show any partiality.
Including letting Xiao Shixian choose this time.
It's not partiality to other people either.
After all, he just swapped the order of selection with Xiao Shi, letting Xiao Shi choose first and himself choose last.
Instead of relying on his own cultivation to let Xiao Shi force his way into the queue and be the first, he would be the second choice.
The swapping of order between him and Xiao Shi will not have any impact on the order of choice for others.
Most importantly…
He did not tell Xiao Shi the pros and cons of these identities.
This prevents Xiao Shihui from directly choosing the "good identity" that others want as soon as he arrives.
As the Taoist master with silver hair and silver boy who has experienced eight resets here, he has already chosen most of these nine identities.
Know clearly which of these nine identities are relatively easier to master.
And Xiao Shi is a newcomer.
I have no idea about these nine identities.
In their opinion.
Xiao Shi could only choose blindly based on luck.
Therefore, they could all accept letting Xiao Shi be the first choice.
I don’t think that the Taoist master with silver hair and silver boy is favoring one side.
In this way, the good results that the Taoist master with silver hair and silver boy has achieved on them will not be destroyed in any way.
After all, if he showed obvious favoritism towards any party, the good results of other people would be damaged to a certain extent. At that time, even if the other party's cultivation level was improved, he would not be able to gain any enhancement from the good results.
The current result is acceptable to both Xiao Shi and others.
To this.
Xiao Shi didn't hesitate at all.
He decisively walked towards the Chuwu Daopao (Seven), and chose the identity of the seventh disciple of Daozu represented by this Daopao.
And after everyone saw Xiao Shi’s choice.
They were obviously relieved.
Although they knew that Xiao Shi was selecting blindly, they were still a little worried that Xiao Shi would choose the good identity he wanted.
However, the identity that Xiao Shi has chosen now.
But in their eyes it is not a good identity.
Even relatively speaking.
They felt that Xiao Shi's identity was one of the worst among the nine identities.
This made everyone secretly happy.
Xiao Shi also noticed the reactions of these people.
He frowned slightly.
Realize that this identity may have some disadvantages that you are not aware of.
Although the Taoist master with silver hair and silver boy had told him a lot of information about the early martial arts era.
But there is still a lot of information he doesn't know.
For example, how are they going to take control of the Dao in the early martial arts era
For example, relevant information about this Taoist disciple.
Xiao Shi knew nothing about it.
And relative to him.
Everyone else has gone through at least one reset.
Clearly know the specific "process" in the early martial arts era.
This is also Xiao Shi’s biggest disadvantage at the moment.
However, Xiao Shi did not regret choosing the Killing Palm this time.
Even if this identity has some disadvantages that you are not aware of, it is the most suitable identity for you.
soon.
After Xiao Shi made his choice.
The rest of the people also made their choices in order.
Xiao Shi discovered.
The Taoist master with silver hair and silver boy actually chose to rule the Tao with cause and effect.
This was somewhat unexpected for him.
He originally thought that since the other party had successfully taken control of the way of good through cause and effect, he would surely change to another way of taking control of the way of heaven.
Unexpectedly, he still chose the cause and effect palm.
And when all of them have made their choices.
They put on the Taoist robes and hats they had chosen.
Xiao Shi also put on the Taoist robe and hat he had chosen.
Buzz!
The moment he put on the Taoist robe and the bamboo hat.
Xiao Shi only felt that the scene in front of him showed ripples like water waves.
Next second.
He found that he was no longer on the island, but in a valley.
This made him realize clearly.
Until this moment...
He has truly entered the early martial arts era.
The previous island was more like a reset point.
The first moment he appeared here, he lowered his head to check his body.
I found that there was no change in my body.
But the Taoist robe wrapped around his body made him appear to be consistent with other people in the early martial arts era.
At least in the eyes of people in the early martial arts era, he could no longer be seen as a person from another era.
Even the powerful ones in the early martial arts era would not notice any problems.
This is also one of the important reasons why they must make an identity choice after each reset before entering the initial martial arts era.
Only by possessing the identity of the early martial arts era can they integrate into this era.
If you don't have an identity in this era, you will be directly regarded as a heretic.
It will not even be accommodated by this era!
"That is to say."
"We cannot reveal to the people of the early martial arts era that we are people of the future era..."
Xiao Shi suddenly understood.
Just at this moment.
Suddenly, a whisper came into his ears that only he could hear.
"Would you... like to join my era?"
