After a while, Laozi sighed heavily and said, "Those who undergo tribulations should have the protection of the Great Dao. After returning to the mountains, Fellow Daoists, please give this further thought!"
Laozi's meaning was very clear, whatever matter you have, argue among yourselves. He was not going to be involved in this matter!
Among those present, only Yang Mei, Xuanhu, Li Qingming, and Jieyin knew that clearing the Path to Heaven would result in a Saint Position.
Jieyin and Xuanhu intended to keep this secret to themselves and would not speak. But it did not mean that Li Qingming would keep silent.
Hearing Laozi's words, Li Qingming's eyes twinkled as he said, "Fellow Daoists, the ginseng fruits of Immortal Zhenyuan have ripened. Why don't we all go there and discuss the Dao together?"
