This was the first time Di Jiu was hearing that, so he didn't have many thoughts about it. He only found it somewhat strange.
Cao Xi explained, "There isn't any connotation to being 'neither a Dao nor a person'. It means what it seems to mean: that a true Dao cultivator is not the Dao that we understand. A true Dao cultivator is not a person either.
"You should know that I, Du Bu, and some almighty cultivators who obtained the opportunity of the heaven-opening universe are not considered pure humans. We have been condensed from the essence of the heaven-opening universe. We have a Dao body, so how could ordinary human cultivators be compared to us?"
Di Jiu didn't have any special thoughts about this at first. However, since Cao Xi had explained it like that, he found her words somewhat strange.
