The Jingyuan lord swung his broom as usual, sweeping the square at a unique rhythm. His movements were very single, but exceptionally precise. The frequency of his swings, the amplitude of his swing, the distance and arc the broom swept from the ground were all exactly the same—not a fraction more, not a bit less.
When Long Chen arrived, the Pure Courtyard Master slowly stopped what he was doing, looked up at Long Chen, and his cloudy eyes looked at Long Chen. He was slightly stunned, then a smile gradually appeared on his face as he nodded and said, "
It seems you gained quite a lot this time. You've found what you once lost. Congratulations!"
Lord Jingyuan's voice carried a hint of approval, but to Long Chen's ears, his heart raced wildly. Lord Jingyuan's words were both pun and thought-provoking.
The "lost" thing he mentioned seemed to refer to the Dragon Bone Evil Moon, or perhaps to his lost confidence, or perhaps to something else.
Long Chen found that when experts speak, they are always hard to fathom—whether it's the Lord of the Pure Institute or the Qiankun Cauldron, it's always like this.
"Good luck, some gains." Long Chen chuckled and said,
"By the way, Lord Jingyuan, may I ask about the Dean and the others?"
Lord Jingyuan smiled slightly and said, "The appearance of the Nine Heavens Gate means the opportunity isn't concentrated just in your generation. You eat meat, but others want soup too!" "
Could it be that ...? Long Chen's heart trembled. The opening of the Nine Heavens Gate this time was a tremendous opportunity for Long Chen and the others. The dean, Bai Zhantang, and the academy's experts had suddenly disappeared. It seemed they, like Long Chen and the others, were also breaking into the Nine Heavens World.
"The gates of creation do not open for just one person; heroes vie for supremacy, hundreds of boats vie for supremacy, and the way of heaven changes in an instant, impossible to fathom.
The life and death, honor and disgrace of all living beings in the world may seem controlled by the Heavenly Dao, but in reality, their rise and fall are the source of power that drives the Heavenly Dao.
This world will never be a single person; all spirits make up this world, and this world will always belong to all spirits.
Therefore, the Way of Heaven is fair; it gives opportunities to everyone, but whether one can seize them depends entirely on individual ability. "Surprisingly, Lord Jingyuan spoke at length this time.
Long Chen heard Lord Jingyuan say that the Heavenly Way is fair. Although he respected her greatly, he still felt uncomfortable and couldn't help but say,
"At least for me, the Heavenly Way has never been fair."
"Oh?" Why? "Lord Jingyuan asked.
"Because they deliberately target me, trying to kill me, and their methods are despicable, using every possible means." Long Chen said, recalling how he had almost died in the heavenly tribulation, and now he was filled with anger.
His heavenly tribulation wasn't a tribulation at all, but a cheating-style murder. How could there be any sense of fairness?
"Who is it?" The Lord of the Pure Courtyard asked.
"Heavenly Dao"
"How do you know it is the Heavenly Dao?" The master of the Jingyuan courtyard asked again.
"Besides the Heavenly Dao, who else can influence the will of the heavenly tribulation?" Long Chen retorted.
"How do you know that, apart from the Heavenly Dao, no one can influence the will of the heavenly tribulation?" Lord Jingyuan said calmly.
"Well..."
Long Chen looked at Lord Jingyuan, his heart pounding wildly. Lord Jingyuan really had a hidden meaning in his words! Could it really be that someone is influencing the heavenly tribulation?
"Have you ever been wrongly accused?" The Lord of the Pure Courtyard asked.
Long Chen nodded.
"Have you ever been impersonated?"
Long Chen nodded.
Master Jingyuan smiled slightly and said, "The Way of Heaven knows neither its beginning nor its end; None know its origin, nor its source; Its greatness has no outside, its smallness has no interior.
Under the heavenly way, you and I are like frogs in a well or summer insects, unable to speak of the sea or ice.
The sun shines brightly in the sky, shining for miles, yet there are dark corners it cannot illuminate.
Water nourishes the universe, benefits all living beings, and there are also deserts and wastelands that cannot be nourished.
There are many things in this world that we cannot see, and we cannot simply deny them just because we can't see them.
And some things, when we see them and measure our world with a ruler, can also be greatly off-limits. Long
Chen's heart raced wildly. Every word of Master Jingyuan was a gem and thought-provoking. This was meant to enlighten him, pointing out his misunderstandings. What he believed in the Heavenly Dao might not be the true Heavenly Dao.
Or rather, the Heavenly Dao that everyone speaks of is different. Therefore, there is the Dao to be spoken of, the extraordinary Dao. The Dao is there, only to be understood intuitively, not to be explained. If it were spoken, then the Dao would no longer be the original Dao.
Because ever since entering the cultivation world, Long Chen had been targeted by heavenly tribulations, barely surviving countless times and plagued by misfortune all his life. Long Chen firmly believed that the Heavenly Dao was targeting him, and this belief was deeply rooted in him.
But Lord Jingyuan's words gave Long Chen a new understanding. Since the Heavenly Dao is so vast—neither inside nor outside, without beginning or end—any living being before it is as insignificant and ignorant as a frog in a well or a summer insect. How could it possibly be controlled by anyone?
But the heavenly tribulation was indeed aimed at it, which was beyond doubt. According to the Pure Courtyard Master, the Heavenly Dao cannot be controlled, but the heavenly tribulation seems to be possible.
"Thank you for the reminder, senior. It was like a sudden enlightenment—my humble abode suddenly opened, and I feel much more at ease." Long Chen said gratefully.
Long Chen had always been targeted by the heavenly tribulation and harbored resentment toward this world, feeling somewhat frustrated. But after hearing Lord Jingyuan's words, he suddenly felt relieved and much more relaxed.
"You are someone who repays kindness and repays grievances. As the saying goes, every grievance has its source, and every debt has its owner. Just don't get the wrong person." Master Jingyuan laughed.
"It definitely won't happen again." Long Chen laughed heartily.
"The appearance of the Nine Heavens Gate signals that this world has entered a stage where a hundred flowers bloom, and those powerful beings born at the wrong time have all welcomed new opportunities.
At that time, the world will enter an unprecedented era of prosperity, but it will also bring unprecedented challenges.
Now, some people had already entered Emperor Heaven through secret passages, and they had already won at the starting line.
When you enter the Emperor's Heaven, you are very likely to encounter their ambush and don't want to give you a chance to grow. You need to be mentally prepared. "Master Jingyuan said.
"So sneaky?" Long Chen was taken aback.
But thinking about his beloved confidantes, who had already entered the world of the Nine Heavens ahead of him, it seemed he had nothing to worry about. Who would dare show off and let his wives beat them until they knelt and begged for mercy?
"The dean and the hall master also entered Emperor Heaven ahead of us to pave the way for us?" Long Chen suddenly thought of a possibility and asked.
The Pure Courtyard Master smiled without saying anything, picked up the broom, and continued sweeping the floor. Long Chen suddenly understood—the academy's layout was far deeper than he had imagined.
After returning to his residence, Long Chen immediately entered seclusion, determined to stabilize his realm as quickly as possible.
