The female cultivator, Chen Shumin, doted on her three disciples and said, "Actually, it's a good thing for them to discuss the Heavenly Dao. I heard that there was a tradition of holding a Dao debate in ancient times."
Li Guanhua sneered, "They're only at the Foundation Establishment stage. What do they know about the Heavenly Dao? They should just focus on cultivating. Dao debates aren't for them. I still don't understand what the Heavenly Dao is."
Ye Kong couldn't help but smile. However, Li Guanhua happened to see it and thought that Ye Kong was laughing at him. He was a little unhappy.
"Friend Ye, do you know what the Heavenly Dao is?" Li Guanhua asked with a smile.
"Me?" Ye Kong didn't know why this guy was suddenly looking for trouble. He shook his head and smiled bitterly. "I don't know."
You're just a small cultivator who just formed your Gold Core. How could you know about the Heavenly Dao? Li Guanhua and Chen Shumin couldn't help but laugh in their hearts.
However, Ye Kong was never someone to be looked down upon. He raised his head and said, "Although I don't know what the Heavenly Dao is, I've heard of a story."
Ye Kong's voice wasn't loud or soft. The Foundation Establishment Perfected Ones at the next table heard it too. Everyone paid attention to what he was going to say.
Ye Kong said, "Once upon a time, there was a donkey who lived by the sea. It had many questions, but no one came to answer them. Finally, one day, God came to the sea for a walk and met the donkey. The donkey asked God to answer its questions. God agreed. The donkey asked, 'Why does the sea never stop rolling?' God replied, 'Because it asks eternal questions.' The donkey asked again, 'Who is the sea asking?' God pointed to the sky. The donkey asked again, 'Did the sea get an answer?' God replied, and the sky's answer was eternal silence. "
After Ye Kong finished speaking, everyone fell silent. They thought about the purpose of Ye Kong telling this story and the hidden meaning in it.
However, Ye Kong continued to smile. "The donkey wanted to ask again, but God said first, 'If you want to know something, you have to pursue it, not just talk about it. Never expect others to answer.' The donkey nodded to show that it understood. However, it had one last question, 'Why do I have so many questions?' And God answered, Because you are a donkey. "
Everyone burst into laughter, but Li Guanhua was somewhat displeased. Are you mocking me? But I didn't ask you a lot of questions, did I? Although in the end, Li Guanhua still felt that Ye Kong wasn't scolding him, he was still quite upset.
Ye Kong wasn't in the mood to ponder over him. From the corner of his eyes, Ye Kong suddenly noticed that Uncle Hong's pair of cloudy eyes were also staring at him, listening to him with great interest.
He hurriedly stood up, cupped his fists towards Uncle Hong, and said, "Actually, I still have to ask Uncle Hong about my views on the Heavenly Dao."
Li Guanhua was not very happy. He swung his hand and stood up, saying, "It's fine to ask him about the secret recipe for making tofu pudding, but to ask him about the Heavenly Dao? What a joke. "
Li Guanhua snorted, put down the silver ingot, and left with his dao companion and disciple.
Uncle Hong buried his head, as if he didn't see them. As he scooped up the tofu pudding, he said, "Actually, to me, the Heavenly Dao is this bowl of tofu pudding. As long as I make this tofu pudding well, I don't care about the Heavenly Dao. If I keep thinking about the Heavenly Dao while making tofu pudding, I definitely won't be able to make tofu pudding well in the end."
Big Yu snorted, "You always talk about your profession. Tofu pudding sellers only know about tofu pudding."
"Big Yu, don't be rude," Ye Kong shouted. He still wanted to ask the old man for some advice, but the old man had already started to chase him away.
"Go, go. Don't disturb this old man's business after you finish eating!"
"Thank you, Uncle Hong, for enlightening me. Goodbye. "Ye Kong bowed, put down a few coins, and left with Big Yu.
After walking for a distance, Uncle Hong suddenly asked, "Hey, young man, who is God?"
"Uh … God is the Immortal Emperor. No, it's an immortal that's even greater than the Immortal Emperor." Ye Kong made up a story and left with Big Yu.
Uncle Hong, on the other hand, was stunned for a while as he held the scoop. Finally, he shook his head and said gloomily, "My surname is not Shang."
Ye Kong walked out of Wan Family City with Big Yu and happened to see Li Guanhua and the rest again. From their tone, Ye Kong could tell that they were also heading to the Cloud Talisman Sect to participate in the Elite Sect Meet.
The distance between Wan Family City and the Cloud Talisman Sect was not far, but there was the Hengduan Mountain Range in between. Therefore, most people would take a detour around the Wu An River. Although it would take some time, it was safe.
Actually, it was not impossible to cross the Hengduan Mountain Range. Those with a cultivation level of Yuanying and above could cross it safely. Those below Yuanying had to have a fast flying Dharma artifact like the Flying Ark. Otherwise, they would be in trouble if they were surrounded by flying demon beasts in the sky.
Coincidentally, Li Guanhua and the rest happened to have a Flying Ark. Of course, Ye wanted to freeload.
"Fellow Daoist Li and his wife, I am also heading to the Cloud Talisman Sect. Can we travel together? If we encounter any demon beasts along the way, I can help a little, "said Ye Kong with cupped fists.
Li Guanhua was initially unwilling, but he had never crossed the Hengduan Mountain Range and was not confident. He thought that it would be good to have more people, so he invited Ye Kong and Big Yu to board the ark.
Ye Kong went up to take a look. The decorations of this Flying Ark were much worse than Yue Minghui's Flying Ark, but the array formations in it were not inferior at all.
Li Guanhua flipped over a dragon-headed decoration in the center of the Flying Ark and revealed a hole below. He put in the Spirit Stones, and the Flying Ark was activated. The dragon head was put down, and one could not tell that it was the starting point.
Ye Kong praised, "The Seven Stars Sect is indeed an array formation expert. This Flying Ark's array formation is unique and ingenious. The various mechanisms are arranged ingeniously. It is indeed not bad."
When Li Guanhua heard the praise, he felt a little proud and said with a smile, "Friend Ye, this is your first time riding the Flying Ark, right? This is actually nothing. There's no need to make a fuss."
"No, my friend has one too." Ye Kong was depressed. Why would I make a fuss? I have even ridden on a Star Boat. Why would I make a fuss about a small Flying Ark? Do I have to?
Li Guanhua and Chen Shumin gave him a look of obvious disdain. At this time, they had already brought Ye Kong to a small room. They said, "Fellow Daoist Ye, you can rest inside. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me."
"I know, I know."
After the door was closed, Li Guanhua turned around and said to his Dao companion, Chen Shumin, "A country bumpkin itinerant cultivator who has never seen the world is so shameless?"
Chen Shumin said with a smile, "That's right. These itinerant cultivators are like this. It's fine if they pretend to be ignorant in front of the Little Perfected Being, but Senior Brother is already at the fourth level of the Golden Core Realm. How can an itinerant cultivator who has just entered the Golden Core Realm compare to him? If I had known, I wouldn't have let him board the boat."
In the room, Da Yu said angrily, "These people are really looking down on us. Let me go out and teach them a lesson!"
Ye Kong said, "What's the point of being angry with them? No matter what, we saved a lot of time. If you and I could also pass through the Hengduan Mountain Range, we would definitely be entangled by the demonic beasts and waste time. We should see the benefits of others."
Da Yu nodded and asked, "Then why did you thank Uncle Hong for enlightening you just now? He said some very ordinary words."
Ye Kong said, "Actually, what Uncle Hong meant was that everything has a Heavenly Dao. Even a bowl of tofu is a Heavenly Dao. We cultivators must be able to have no Dao in our hearts and focus on doing the things in front of us well. When we do it to the extreme, the Heavenly Dao will naturally exist. This is probably the principle of nature. "
"Oh, I see." Da Yu nodded, not fully understanding.
The journey from the Hengduan Mountain Range to the Cloud Talisman Sect was indeed fast. Although they encountered some flying demonic beasts on the way, the Flying Ark easily shook them off. Five days later, the Cloud Talisman Mountain of Sishui City was already in sight.
