Luo Fan and Xue Ye finished cooking. Everyone chatted as they ate.
"You've already comprehended a bit of Sage intent, right?" the old man asked.
"Yes." Zhuge Hui nodded. "But I can't seem to take that step."
"That step isn't that easy. The ancient books say that Sages know the world and all things. They have an open mind and are also known as attaining the Way. Thus, I often teach you that cultivation is also to cultivate the mind. The state of mind has nothing to do with the plane, but it determines one's height. Some people don't have outstanding talent but their state of mind is extraordinary and can still cultivate to an extremely high plane. On the other hand, if the state of mind is not enough, no matter how talented you are, your upper limit is still determined," the old man said as he ate.
Ye Futian and the others listened attentively. No wonder the senior brothers and sisters of the Cottage respected the teacher so much. Although the teacher looked ordinary, simple, and even a little sloppy, when he spoke seriously, he was really like a teacher.
"Teacher said before that the virtuousness of Sages doesn't just refer to planes. Since that's the case, why can evil people also attain the Way?" Zhuge Hui asked seriously. Ye Futian had never seen her so serious. This was the first time. "Evil people don't necessarily have an open mind.
"Great evildoers don't necessarily have to be narrow-minded. Everyone stubbornly sticks to their own views, and from there, they have their own pursuits. Even what you think of as great evildoers might be wise in the eyes of others. For example, many people in this world believe that there are too many cultivators in the world, and the resources in the world are limited. Naturally, the strong belong to the strong, and those who don't seek to improve are like ants. Thus, all living beings don't need pity, and the weak should be enslaved."
Everyone looked thoughtful. They were clearly thinking about the teacher's words. They seemed simple but were actually very deep.
"Of course it's wrong," the second sister said. "There are many powerful forces in the Divine Prefecture. For example, in the Eastern Barren Territory, the top forces occupy all kinds of cultivation resources. Ordinary people can't even find simple techniques. If they don't have good fortune, they might be mediocre for the rest of their lives. Not everyone can meet a great teacher."
The disciples all nodded, agreeing with the second sister. Ye Futian was even more touched. He came from the Hundred Lands of Qingzhou City. The people there didn't even know how powerful the outside world was. Whether it was in terms of vision or resources, they were too far behind. How could they compare?
"I'm not surprised that others think this way, but it's rare for you to think this way." The old man smiled and glanced at Zhuge Hui. "Then let me ask you again. Based on what you said, you want everyone to have equal resources. Then, why are you the Cottage the only ones here?"
Zhuge Hui naturally understood. She also knew that there was no absolute fairness in the world. She said. She also knew that there was no such thing. She knew that there was no absolute fairness in the world. The Cottage, the College, the College's power, the College's College School. "Sage"
Many times, people look at problems from different perspectives, so I hope that none of you will go to the extreme. Only those who are open-minded will be able to see the world more clearly. I can't teach everyone in the world, so I've chosen the few of you. In the future, each of you will be able to influence more people. For example, the Sword Saint Mountain that your eldest senior brother founded is a kind of inheritance. Those who are talented and work hard naturally deserve more, but those who are not talented should also be treated equally. At least, no one can take away their right to work hard to change their fate. "
The old man said slowly, "Back then, the Divine Prefecture was in chaos. The weak were like ants. The two emperors unified the world and ordered the world to preach. The prosperity of the martial arts academies was to provide a relatively fair opportunity for everyone in the world. Everyone has the chance to work hard to change their fate."
Ye Futian didn't really understand. The logic was too great.
The old man smiled and said, "We're going off topic again. In the future, when you leave the Eastern Barren Territory, you will have more thoughts. Third Brother, Fourth Brother, Fifth Brother, tell me about your cultivation levels. Let's see if you slacked off when I wasn't here."
"Master, I'm slow-witted. I entered the Grade One Noble Plane not long ago," Gu Dongliu said. Ye Futian looked at his third brother speechlessly. Grade One Noble Plane and he called himself slow-witted? Third Brother, are you serious?
At the beginning of the year, his third brother had challenged Lu Nantian and he was still a Grade Two Noble. It seemed that battle had improved his level.
"I'm a Grade Four Noble," Xue Ye said.
"Master, I'm also in the mid-level Noble Plane, even though it's only Grade Six," Luo Fan said, smiling.
"Master, I'm still in the Lower Arcana Plane," Beitang Xing 'er said quietly.
"I'm in the Upper Arcana Plane." Yi Xiaoshi scratched his head.
"Yu Sheng and I broke into the Arcana Plane on Sky Mountain," Ye Futian said, smiling. An Arcana Plane genius less than 20 years old. Should the master praise him?
"You're almost 20 and you've only just entered the Arcana Plane?" The old man looked at Ye Futian with exaggerated disdain. Ye Futian blinked and said, "Master, I'll only be 20 next year."
"There's no difference. Xing 'er is younger than you but her level is higher than yours. I don't know how she cultivates," the old man said mercilessly. "But you're lucky. Even though your talent is a bit useless, you still have a chance since you met me."
"I …" Ye Futian wanted to retort, but when he saw Second Senior Sister looking at him with a smile and Third Senior Brother looking at him seriously, he immediately lost his temper.
His brothers and sisters had said that he had to respect his master!
But he was actually being looked down upon for his cultivation talent?
"Master, what level are you in?" Ye Futian smiled and asked curiously.
"I don't know how to cultivate." The old man shook his head.
"Master, do you think I'll believe you?" Ye Futian asked.
"Didn't you see Heaven Mountain? Did the bell on Heaven Mountain affect me?" The old man asked again. Ye Futian was stunned. He had never thought about this before. Now that the master said this, it seemed to make sense.
"Could it be that you're too strong?" Ye Futian blinked and said.
"Do you think so?" The old man lowered his head and ate. It did not look like it.
Ye Futian was a bit depressed. Had he judged wrongly? Did the master really not know how to cultivate?
Yi Xiaoshi held back his laughter. Ever since Ye Futian entered the Cottage, his status had plummeted. Now that the master was back, this guy could finally experience this feeling. Who asked him to be so arrogant?
"Even though your cultivation is low and your talent is a bit lacking, don't be discouraged. I'm done eating anyway. Come with me and I'll teach you well. I treat all ordinary disciples equally." The old man stood up and patted the dust off his body.
"Ah …" Ye Futian was a bit dazed.
"Hurry up and follow me," the old man said. Then, he left with his hands behind his back.
Ye Futian scratched his head and glanced at his brothers and sisters. Seeing that they were all looking at him, he stood up and followed.
Pfft! Yi Xiaoshi finally couldn't hold back his laughter anymore. This guy deserved this.
Everyone's gazes fell on him. Yi Xiaoshi felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange.
Seeing the strange looks from his brothers and sisters, he suddenly froze. Then, he looked at Ye Futian.
"That's not right. The master just came back and he's going to teach little brother cultivation?" Yi Xiaoshi muttered, depressed. When did the master become so diligent?
"You just realized it?" Beitang Xing 'er asked.
"…" Yi Xiaoshi was completely dumbfounded. What … was going on?
"Xiaoshi, you can't guess what the master is thinking," Zhuge Hui said, smiling. She could obviously tell that Yi Xiaoshi was gloating.
…
In the Moon Clan, the year-end event to test the disciples' cultivation results was held again.
Right now, the Moon Clan was extremely lively. Many goddesses gathered together and all gazed at the battle before them. It was an extremely beautiful battle.
Both sides of the battle were extremely beautiful. It was Chu Yaoyao, the Virgin of the Moon Clan. The person she was fighting was not inferior to her in terms of looks or talent. It was Hua Jieyu, who was cultivating in the Xiaoyue House.
After returning from the Hundred Lands, Hua Jieyu had been cultivating hard. Her cultivation had improved greatly and she was already in the Arcana Plane.
"Yaoyao doesn't seem to have improved much in the past year. What's going on?" Someone asked. Last year, Chu Yaoyao was already this powerful. This year, it was still the same.
Many people nodded. It was probably because Chu Yaoyao was dating Qin Li this year that she neglected her cultivation. Otherwise, no matter how talented Hua Jieyu was, she wouldn't be caught up in a year.
At that moment, a muffled sound was heard from the battlefield. The spell hit Chu Yaoyao's body. Chu Yaoyao wanted to dodge, but she was bound by countless branches and leaves. Her body froze on the spot. In front of her, Hua Jieyu wore a crown on her head. She was as dazzling as a queen. That was her Life Spirit. Powerful spiritual energy bloomed from it, affecting every one of her attacks.
"I lost." Chu Yaoyao was disappointed. She looked at the beautiful girl before her. She had lost.
Hua Jieyu retracted her spell and looked at Chu Yaoyao. In the past, she didn't want to fight and just wanted to cultivate in peace. However, Ye Futian had been bullied when he came to the Moon Clan last time. She always remembered that. She didn't want Ye Futian to have to listen to others and be blocked outside the clan when he came to find her again. Therefore, she had to fight.
The surrounding people were silent. They obviously knew what Chu Yaoyao's defeat meant.
Many people looked in one direction. Goddess Wangyue, the leader of the Moon Clan, was here to watch the battle.
"Hua Jieyu will replace Chu Yaoyao as the Virgin," Goddess Wangyue said.
The crowd was in an uproar. How long had it been since Hua Jieyu entered the clan? She had replaced Chu Yaoyao.
Just then, many people rushed over from the distance. Goddess Wangyue looked over and someone beside her asked, "What's going on?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Goddess Wangyue looked into the distance. There was a strong aura coming from there.
