The elderly man looking at the lamp froze for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter.
His sudden laughter puzzled Mu Qingge slightly, but she did not interrupt. She patiently waited until he finished laughing and then seriously asked, "Please enlighten me, senior."
The elderly man slowly nodded, paused for a moment, and then spoke admiringly, "Those who ask this question are usually already at the Spirit Cave Realm Ninth Layer."
Mu Qingge’s eyes narrowed slightly, "Does senior think I’m asking too early?"
The elderly man shook his head slowly, gave a non-direct response, "You have truly given me too many surprises, too many unexpected things!"
Mu Qingge furrowed her brow.
"If you want to know, I’ll tell you. Actually, this question should neither be asked too early, like at the Spirit Void Realm, nor too late, like at the Spirit Cave Realm Ninth Layer. Your timing in asking is quite appropriate," the elderly man said in a profound manner.
Mu Qingge listened seriously without interrupting.
This is her strength; in conversations, especially when seeking advice, she generally doesn’t interrupt the speaker. Even if she has doubts, she waits until the other person finishes speaking before asking.
Having spent six months together, the old man had come to understand her temperament somewhat and greatly admired her.
"Do you know the saying ’All roads lead to the same destination’?" the elderly man asked.
All roads lead to the same destination?
Mu Qingge nodded; of course, she had heard it and understood the meaning of those four words.
"Do you also know why those with a Spirit Root can cultivate?" the elderly man asked again.
This point...
Mu Qingge slowly shook her head; she truly wasn’t sure.
The elderly man explained, "Let me tell you this way: having a Spirit Root means you’re naturally perceptive to certain kinds of principles. Therefore, entering the path of cultivation makes it easier for you to master certain types of principles. For example, your Fire Spirit Root enables you to understand fire better than the average person, making the comprehension of fire principles, Laws, and magic easier. Those without a Spirit Root can still cultivate, but their perception is very poor, and before they comprehend some basic things, their lifespan ends."
Mu Qingge nodded.
The elderly man’s explanation was straightforward, giving her a clear concept.
"Regarding your previous question about whether magic is inseparable from Spirit Root, the answer is no. After entering the Saint Realm, one’s Divine Sense is strong enough, perception improves, allowing one to comprehend other principles. The myriad paths ultimately lead to the same destination; mastering the essence means mastering all the ways of the world," the elderly man said.
After hearing this, Mu Qingge muttered, "One gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, three gives rise to myriad things, infinitely endless. Tracing back, it actually all comes down to one."
The elderly man’s eyes lit up with surprise, "Well said! Isn’t the fundamental essence just one?"
Mu Qingge lifted her gaze, her clear eyes meeting the elder’s.
Under her gaze, the elderly man sighed slightly, "I almost forgot; your Divine Sense has long surpassed the Spirit Cave Realm, entering the Saint Realm. Your achievements are destined to be extraordinary."
That night, Mu Qingge conversed with the elder until dawn before departing.
She gained a lot from their night of conversation.
Cultivation on the Divine Demon Continent was even more mysterious than she had imagined. It was different from the Middle Ancient Realm and the Linchuan Realm.
No wonder there was a distinction between God and mortal.
Returning to the cave residence, Mu Qingge prepared to bid farewell to Tong Teng. As for packing... she really had nothing much to gather.
"Boss, when you go to the Young Palace, will you forget your little brother here?" Tong Teng said reluctantly.
Having ascended alone from the Lower Realm, during this period, apart from Su Ming at Tianya Residence, Mu Qingge was his only friend, and she was someone he greatly respected as his boss. With the sudden departure, even though they remained in the Huan Yue Domain, he couldn’t help but feel inexplicable sadness.
"I’ll visit you often," Mu Qingge assured him.
Tong Teng nodded, promising Mu Qingge, "Boss, I will certainly strive to cultivate hard, so that when you next see me, I’ll be out of this blue robe and wearing white."
"Alright." Mu Qingge nodded.
Zhuang Shan stood behind them, waiting for their chat to finish before smiling and approaching Mu Qingge, saying, "Third Young Palace, it’s getting late; let’s go."
He was Mu Qingge’s guiding senior; it was natural for him to lead the way today.
"Brother Zhuang Shan, although my boss is impressive, having just ascended, entering the Young Palace and facing other juniors, I ask that you look out for him so that he doesn’t get bullied," Tong Teng beseeched Zhuang Shan. This youngster hadn’t forgotten that during the challenge, several Palace disciples were dissatisfied with Mu Qingge.
