Following a Hundred Years of Cultivation, I'm dying Before I Got Cheats

“Understand the Dao we are pursuing?”

Many people were puzzled.

What kind of condition was this?

How could people who had come thus far not know the Dao they were pursuing?

As though he could read everyone’s thoughts, Perfected Lord Xuan Yang sneered for the first time.

“I can guarantee that there are less than five people here who have truly understood the Dao they are pursuing.”

“What?”

Many people present could not help but reveal shocked expressions when they heard that.

“Don’t doubt my words.”

Perfected Lord Xuan Yang spoke again.

“Let me ask you, what do you think the Dao you are pursuing is?

Is it to become stronger? Live forever? Take over the world? Or become an immortal?”

Without waiting for an answer, Perfected Lord Xuan Yang continued,

“These things can at most be considered a goal, a desire, an ambition, but it’s not the Dao you think it is.

The true Dao is a conviction, a conviction for which you are willing to give up everything to uphold it, a something that can only be understood tacitly and not spoken of.

Take immortality for example.

If someone told you that in order to be immortal, you have to let go of everything, your emotions, your desires, your glory and reputation.

You have to be like an ascetic, day after day, year after year, ignoring everything and cultivating in seclusion.

Will you still be willing to do it?

To become stronger.

How strong is considered strong?

Even if you are invincible and can turn the world upside down with a wave of your hand, this strength might not be your limit.

Will you continue to pursue strength or be content with where you are?

Will you stick to your original intention and stay faithful to yourself?”

No one answered.

And everyone looked lost.

Perfected Lord Xuan Yang sneered.

“Why? You’re lost just like that?

Like I said, the true Dao is not just a goal, a desire, an ambition, and so on that you think it is.

Similarly, it also can’t be described with mere words.

If you can understand it, then you will understand. If you can’t, then no matter what I say, it’s useless.

If I have to use a word to describe it, it would be a conviction.”

After that, Perfected Lord Xuan Yang did not care if everyone could understand his words and moved to the next topic.

Just like that, another month passed quickly.

Just as everyone was immersed in Perfected Lord Xuan Yang’s lecture, he suddenly stopped.

He looked up at the sky and said,

“This lecture will end here.

You can go back and absorb it.”

At that point, Perfected Lord Xuan Yang paused for a moment before looking at the few people present.

That included Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, as well as Guan Xinting, who was beside them.

“Young friends, if you’re not in a hurry, why don’t you stay for a while longer?

I can answer some of your doubts and questions..”
