Chu Jie held the Mountain Sea Merit Cauldron and examined it for a long time.
The Moon Wheel flapped its wing in puzzlement.
“Are you asking why this is my opportunity?” Chu Jie asked with a smile.
The white bird nodded.
“Because I’m too weak. This thing can make me advance faster.”
The white bird’s eyes flickered as if it had a new question.
“Why is such an opportunity useful for me?”
Chu Jie smiled and touched the Moon Wheel. “Because I’m still just a person. No matter how outstanding I am assumed to be, there’s a limit to everything. Whether it’s immortals or humans, ultimately, we are all part of the myriad of living beings. Some are born in high places, and some emerge from the depths of the abyss. Regardless, they all have one thing in common. That is, they are all within the realm of heaven and earth. When they are young, they have the opportunity to build the Dao, and later, only their name remains.”
The white bird was even more confused.
“What I mean is that you don’t need to rely on the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, the Grand Earth Emperor’s realm, or have a peerless physique to reach the peak of your cultivation. It’s something else. The Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment is only the beginning of my journey, not the destination.”
At this moment, Liu Ying walked out of the kitchen. She looked at the seat where Jiang Hao had just been in.
She frowned. “Where did the person who was here just now go?”
“He left,” Chu Jie said.
The noodle shop owner only felt a trace of aura and was heartbroken.
She had noticed it too late. If the other party was recovering his power, it would take her even longer to sense his presence.
After thinking for a long time, she decided to open a window in the kitchen so that she could see the customers who came in to eat noodles in her shop.
This way, she would not miss important people.
Chu Jie finished eating her noodles and got up.
“How much is it?”
“How many bowls of noodles?”
“Three.”
“Three bowls?” The shop owner looked at the table and was somewhat surprised. “Are you going to pay for his noodles? You’re not an ordinary person, and neither is he. Can you afford it?”
“Thank you, Senior. I will try my best.” Chu Jie smiled.
“Others will think you are overestimating yourself,” the shop owner said.
“I came from suffering, but in the blink of an eye, I became something else. I ascended so fast that I lacked the respect I must show to my seniors. No one could relate to me, so no one believed me. But this is the path I am on. No one has ever walked this path, so it’s all new to me,” said Chu Jie with a smile.
“This path is very lonely. Although you have the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, you don’t have to do this alone. You have never truly failed. If you don’t let others see your effort, they can’t relate to you,” said the noodle shop owner.
Chu Jie looked at the shop owner and fell silent for a moment. “When I received the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, many people thought I couldn’t do it, but I did. I had a Master, a sect, and others to help me. They can’t help me now because I’ve already started on this path. As for those who understood and believed in me… whether they exist or not, my path won’t change. I already have wings, and the road will walk itself.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Chu Jie paid with a few silver coins and turned to leave with a smile on her face.
“People have their own hearts, and the heavens have their own ways. I am just an ordinary person who gained the favor of the heavens through the hearts of people. I must walk the path of the heavens.”
Outside the city, Jiang Hao suddenly turned around.
He felt the gathering of aura over there as if someone was comprehending something.
“Nowadays, there is no shortage of geniuses in the world,” Jiang Hao shook his head and sighed.
Then, he continued walking.
He wanted to take a look around the Astronomical Academy.
Recently, he had been reading the messages on the stone tablet and discovered something.
The people of the gathering occasionally discussed Senior Dan Yuan in their free time, and one of them talked about the Holy Master.
Everyone shared the whereabouts of the Holy Master and exchanged information with each other.
One of the divine souls had a bookstore outside the Astronomical Academy in the West.
He might be a bookseller there.
Jiang Hao did not care about it at first. But since he was here anyway, he thought he could go and meet another form of Brother Li.
‘I wonder if this version of Brother Li is good at conversation…’
Reading the messages on the stone tablet, Jiang Hao realized that the Holy Master’s divine souls had improved a lot.
It seemed that the weakest had ascended to the Immortal Ascension Platform.
There were even more powerful ones who could recover to the immortal realms.
If he was in the Immortal Human Realm, he would no longer listen to Jiang Hao.
They might end up becoming enemies.
He did not want that. If that happened, the younger ones always suffered.
With that in mind, Jiang Hao opened his folding fan and walked toward the Astronomical Academy.
At that moment, the words “Unparalleled in the World” flashed on the folding fan.
In front of the Astronomical Academy, the streets were bustling with activity.
Most of the things sold here were related to cultivation.
In a corner of the street, there was a bookstore. A middle-aged scholar sat behind the counter and quietly read his book.
It was peaceful and quiet here. Occasionally, a customer would come in, but there would be no conversation.
Sometimes, they would browse through the books, or sit down to read. Other times, they would pay the spirit stones mentioned on the price tag and go their own way.
Only a few people spoke up and disturbed the middle-aged man from his reading.
The noise outside did not filter into the bookstore.
At that moment, a scholar walked in from outside. He closed his folding fan and gently knocked on the counter.
“You can read all the books you can get your hands on,” said the man without looking up. “You can pay in spirit stones.”
“What book are you so focused on, dear brother?” asked a calm voice.
The man, who was turning a page of his book, paused.
He raised his eyebrows and looked at the person in front of him. The person was dressed in white and looked refined.
He held a folding fan in his hands. His long hair was combed back.
After looking at him a few more times, he felt that the other party was not as ordinary as he had initially thought.
The faint smile on his lips made people feel the depth of his cultivation.
