Enlightenment
Two hours.
Another two hours.
From early morning until noon. It was now evening.
Ye Zichen sat in his chair, looking up at the sun to determine the time. He repeatedly urged the Dragon God to hurry up and say what he wanted to say …..
In the end …..
Wait.
Just this one word had caused him to waste an entire day's time.
"Senior Dragon God, how much longer do you want me to wait?"
Ye Zichen couldn't remember how many times he'd said the same thing. Who knew how many times he'd considered leaving?
But he didn't think the old Dragon God was joking and telling him to just sit there and waste time.
Moreover, now was definitely not the time to waste time.
But even after so much time had passed, the old Dragon God's eyes remained closed. He hadn't said anything other than "wait."
Who the hell knew what he was thinking?
"Senior, you should understand the current situation. The Immortal Region has fallen, and the demons and blood zombies could attack the Beast Region at any moment. Zuo Mo and the others were all working overtime to mass produce gunpowder. The rest of the people were using every second they had to do what they could. But now, we've been sitting here for an entire day. Do you think that's interesting? "
Even though he respected the old Dragon God, Ye Zichen still made such a long speech.
Of course, it was also because of his respect for the Dragon God. If it were anyone else, he might have slapped them across the face.
"You have many good points, so I won't list them all. But your shortcomings are also obvious: you're too impetuous and impulsive. Perhaps this is a shortcoming that all young people have, but you're no ordinary young person. You're Emperor Ye of the Immortal Region, the backbone of countless people. You don't even have the slightest bit of patience. You're flustered and exasperated at the slightest provocation. How can you put the lives of all living things in your hands? "
The old Dragon God finally opened his eyes, gazed intently at Ye Zichen, and pointed out his shortcomings.
"You need to learn to calm your heart. You need to remain calm no matter what. Only then can you accomplish great things."
He couldn't deny that this was Ye Zichen's shortcoming. He was well aware of it. However, if Senior Dragon God had called him here just to point out this point, then he could only say that it was a waste of time.
"Did you call me here just to say this?" asked Ye Zichen in a low voice.
"Part of it." The old Dragon God didn't deny it. He nodded and said, "These flaws don't seem like much to you right now, but if you continue like this, these flaws might take your life. It will also take the lives of those who are centered around you. "
Ye Zichen took a deep breath and suppressed the impatience in his heart.
"Alright, I'll try my best to restrain myself. But that's all for later. Can you tell me why you've asked me to come here? "
"Wait."
Ye Zichen had heard the same one-word reply countless times.
"You still want me to wait?" When he heard this, Ye Zichen smiled wryly and helplessly, but he couldn't suppress his anger. "Eight hours. I've been sitting here for a whole eight hours. Just now, you said your first and second words of the day, and they were criticizing me. Now, you still want me to wait …. Do you want me to sit here until the demons attack? "
"Keep your cool."
When he saw Ye Zichen's impatience, the old Dragon God lowered his gaze.
"I just told you to learn how to keep your cool. Now you can't hold back anymore? Don't put too much pressure on yourself. I've indeed wasted a lot of your time, but even if I gave you all that time, what could you possibly do with it? Deduction? Deduction? Isn't that just a waste of time? Or do you think you could break through in your cultivation in eight hours? But I've never disturbed you, so why can't you use your time? "
The old Dragon God's words hit the nail on the head. Ye Zichen was speechless.
His lips quivered. After a long while, the old Dragon God spoke again.
"Valuing time isn't just for words. You have to take action. You're too impatient, and you're putting too much pressure on yourself. You have to change all of that. You do have pressure, but excessive pressure can crush a person. Only when you maintain a cool head can you better discover problems, think about them, and solve them. You've been in a rush this entire day …. That's why you've wasted your time. I'm not the one wasting your time. You're the one wasting your time. Do you understand? "
"This junior understands."
Ye Zichen rose from his chair and bowed deeply to the old Dragon God. Ye Zichen was sincerely grateful. If the old Dragon God hadn't pointed it out to him, he might have continued like this.
Sometimes, he did recognize his own problems, but his understanding was far too superficial.
"Mm."
The old Dragon God nodded calmly. Ye Zichen said nothing else, then sat back down. He didn't urge the old Dragon God any further. Instead, he focused his mind and did what he had to do.
When the old Dragon God saw this, he smiled and nodded. He had indeed called Ye Zichen here to discuss important matters, but he'd notified him ahead of time.
Ye Zichen's goal was to take advantage of this opportunity to enlighten him. Otherwise, if he really suffered from this weakness, it would be too late.
The sun set in the west, and night fell.
Another six hours passed, and the sky outside had already turned completely dark.
However, even after so much time had passed, Ye Zichen didn't show any signs of impatience. He simply went about his business as usual.
During this time, he would also converse with the old Dragon God, and the topics of their conversation were mostly about cultivation or how to deal with the demons.
"I have a rough idea of Black Dragon's strength. I sense that he's already surpassed the realm of immortal kings. However, due to the pressure of the Laws, he doesn't dare reveal his true strength. "
At that moment, Ye Zichen and the Dragon God happened to be talking about Black Dragon's strength, so he explained what he knew about him.
"So long as he doesn't dare reveal his strength, he won't be much of a threat, right?"
The old Dragon God smiled calmly. If Black Dragon didn't reveal his true strength, he could only be a peak immortal king. That was all.
"Indeed."
Ye Zichen nodded in agreement. At that moment, Xia Yingda rushed into the main hall.
Judging from his travel-worn appearance, he'd obviously been on the move for the past few days.
"Senior Dragon God."
"Mm? Have you notified everyone?" asked the Dragon God with a nod.
"Yes, I've notified them all. Not just that, several clans have already arrived outside our territory," said Xia Yingda.
