Chapter 624: Xu Yao Starts Crying, Chen Changsheng Personally Guides Her
Seeing Xu Yao lost in thought, Ye Feng spoke up, “Is there anything wrong?”
“Not really, just recalling some people and events.”
“Then it seems these people and events have had a significant impact on you.”
“Things in this world are unpredictable, not all matters can be judged right or wrong; one should only act with a clear conscience.”
After saying that, Ye Feng put down his wine bowl and stood up.
“Well, I should leave now. See you in a few days. I hope to see a more impressive Xu Yao.”
With those words, Ye Feng disappeared from the rooftop.
Right after Ye Feng vanished, Chen Changsheng appeared.
Chen Changsheng was holding a small wooden stick and making strange sounds, as if he were mimicking the sound of arrows cutting through the air.
“Pa!”
Chen Changsheng made a sound with his mouth, and at the same time, the small stick directly struck Xu Yao’s forehead.
“Hahaha!”
“How was my imitation of the flying arrow technique? Isn’t it precise?”
Looking at the laughing Chen Changsheng, Xu Yao impatiently pushed away the small stick.
“Sir, what exactly is your arrangement?”
Facing Xu Yao’s questioning, Chen Changsheng said with a click of his tongue, “You can’t say it like that. The path is in your own hands. I never arranged anything for you.”
“The one who hit your forehead isn’t the small stick in my hand, but rather, it was you in the past.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Yao slightly lowered her head and said, “So Ye Feng is the former Nangong Xing, and I am that Qiao’er from the Savage Wilderness, right?”
“You can be Qiao’er, but you don’t have to be.”
“Girl, ever since you met me, you haven’t thought about some issues by yourself.”
“The smaller plans are handled by Ling and others, while I oversee the bigger picture. You just need to understand everything, or simply follow along.”
“You’ve always been preoccupied with the matter of the God and Demon Cemetery, and you’re confused as to why things turned out this way.”
“In your understanding, as long as you have enough strength, nothing in this world is unsolvable.”
“Can’t strength sweep everything away?”
Xu Yao raised her head and questioned Chen Changsheng.
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng nodded and said, “Strength indeed can sweep everything away, but you haven’t achieved invincibility.”
“Furthermore, the concept of being invincible doesn’t exist because there will always be someone stronger than you.”
“Do you firmly believe in the power of strength? Then please tell me, why didn’t you win today?”
Upon hearing this, Xu Yao subconsciously clenched her fists.
“I will win in the future.”
“I completely believe that, but there’s more than just Ye Feng in the Four Directions Continent. There are also other prodigies stronger than Ye Feng.”
“Please tell me, how much time do you plan to spend defeating them when that time comes?”
“And what do you intend to do before you defeat them?”
Chen Changsheng’s words struck Xu Yao’s heart like a hammer.
Today, Xu Yao felt an unprecedented pressure at the venue.
Although the matter has ended, the pressure in her heart hasn’t dissipated.
Because she knows that in the short term, she can’t defeat Ye Feng. Not being able to defeat Ye Feng means she can’t control her own destiny.
“Drip!”
A tear rolled down Xu Yao’s face.
“Sir, I know what I should do now.”
“Oh! How did you end up crying?”
Seeing Xu Yao cry, Chen Changsheng smiled and wiped away her tears.
“Sir, I will strive to become like Qiao’er.”

Hearing this, Chen Changsheng smiled and shook his head.
“I knew you would raise this issue. Turning you into Qiao’er has never been my idea.”
“Forcing you to become Qiao’er is your own doing. It’s precisely because of this that you were struck by your past self.”
Hearing this, Xu Yao wiped away her tears and said.
“But if I don’t become Qiao’er, I don’t know what else to do.”
“Just do what needs to be done. If you can’t, pretend you didn’t see it.”
“Sir, although I appear omnipotent, I actually can’t do many things.”
“When faced with things I can’t do, I usually pretend I don’t see them.”
“Why did I let Nangong Xing have a chance in the God and Demon Cemetery? The purpose was to make you act with a clear conscience.”
“Although this might cause more trouble, at least you would live as yourselves, rather than being puppets like Nangong Xing and Ye Feng who only follow rules.”
“Do you know why Ye Feng said he couldn’t find his former heart?”
“Because he lost his youthful courage.”
“Now he’s stronger than before, but would he dare to cause chaos in the sect like he used to?”
“Turning you into Qiao’er could solve many problems. This method, you know, I know, everyone knows.”
“But you can’t get past this hurdle of yourself. You can’t tolerate not contributing and causing your companions to struggle.”
Hearing this, Xu Yao’s emotions gradually calmed down.
“So, how should this problem be solved?”
“It’s simple. You need to trust your companions. Since they are comrades-in-arms, you must believe in their abilities and their trust in you.”
“Ye Feng has faced many similar choices, yet he chose not to ‘add trouble’ for others.”
“It’s precisely because of these choices that Ye Feng lost his former heart and his youthful courage.”
“I don’t want that chatty, spirited, and wine-loving little girl to turn into this.”
After saying that, Chen Changsheng smiled and patted Xu Yao’s head.
Facing Chen Changsheng’s warm hand, Xu Yao sniffed and said.
“Sir, you always know how to talk. I want to drink some Sangshen wine. I remember you still have some left.”
“No.”
“Then teach me cultivation. Everyone else has teachers, and we can only rely on ourselves for cultivation. When will we be done?”
“There’s no problem with that. Follow me.”
Saying that, Chen Changsheng turned around and left the rooftop, followed closely by Xu Yao.

Garden.
Everyone sat in a circle, and Chen Changsheng sat alone in the middle.
“You all saw today’s battle. Some of you even participated.”
“You are all top prodigies. The analysis of the battle situation is clear. I won’t repeat it.”
“Today, I will teach you how to truly cultivate both systems simultaneously.”
“Cave of Heaven Realm is the second major realm in the Sea of Suffering system, which includes the realms of Spiritual Sense, True Self, and Fate Lamp.”
“Who among you knows the true meaning of these three minor realms?”
“I do!”
Gui Qianjie quickly raised her hand.
“Very good, Qianjie, you explain.”
“Once a cultivator enters the Consciousness Realm, they can project their spiritual power outward, thus perceiving everything around them.”
“The True Self Realm is also a form of self-exploration. The thoughts of living beings are complex, so terms like ‘True Self’ and ‘Original Self’ exist.”
“Ordinarily, we are the ‘True Self,’ while what lies hidden deep within our hearts is the ‘Original Self.'”
“By discovering the Original Self, a cultivator can gain enlightenment and achieve inner fulfillment.”
