I have Taoism and can understand other worlds

Chapter 608 Entering the Dao Palace

"Big brother, thank you."

"If it weren't for you, Yuanyuan wouldn't dare to come out of the house."

The little girl whispered her innermost thoughts to Jiang Wen. The innocent and genuine emotions in her words were like a gentle spring breeze.

Jiang Wen smiled without saying a word, but simply squeezed the little girl's palm.

Seeing the first rays of dawn breaking in the sky, he knew it was time for day to break.

"Let's go, your parents should be waiting for you outside."

"Ah."

Holding hands, the two walked side by side toward the edge of the village.

As the sun rose, Jiang Wen saw two people walking towards him on the path.

A middle-aged woman in blue, gentle and graceful.

The couple leaned on each other and walked towards them.

"Dad! Mom!" the little girl waved her hands happily and called out loudly. "Yuanyuan missed you so much!"

"Yuan'er, my Yuan'er." The middle-aged man's eyes reddened as he stroked the little girl's head repeatedly. "I'm sorry, it's all my fault."

"Dad, it's good that you're back. As long as you're back, Yuan Yuan doesn't want anything else." The little girl threw herself into the middle-aged man's arms, burying her head and shaking it. She sobbed softly, as if she wanted to cry out all her grievances.

The scene was very heartwarming, and Jiang Wen couldn't help but lower his head and smile.

He envied this scene because he hadn't seen his parents in so long.

I rarely dream about it, even in my dreams.

After the family of three finished catching up, the middle-aged man led the little girl to Jiang Wen's side. He looked at Jiang Wen with a complicated expression, then tugged at the little girl's arm.

“Brother Jiang, the moment I saw you, I knew Yuanyuan’s destined one had arrived. This child has always been spoiled and clingy. She’s timid and afraid of the dark. If it weren’t for the circumstances, I would love to stay with her forever. But…” The middle-aged man sighed as he spoke, while the woman beside him kept wiping away her tears.

"We can't stay with Yuanyuan any longer; it's time for us to go. From now on, we hope you can take care of her and not let her be so lonely and miserable."

The middle-aged man took Jiang Wen's hand and placed the little girl's hand in his large palm. It was as if he was entrusting him with the most important thing in his life, and the determination in him made Jiang Wen fall silent.

"Please, Brother Jiang."

"...Don't worry," Jiang Wen sighed softly. "I'll take good care of her."

"Thank you, thank you," the middle-aged man said, his voice choked with emotion.

The little girl looked at the three of them blankly, not knowing what had happened.

The couple's figures grew increasingly ethereal, gradually transforming into a wisp of morning smoke.

In their final moments, they waved goodbye to the little girl, saying, "Yuan'er, you must live well and be a good person."

The sound echoed, but the couple could no longer be seen.

The little girl stood there blankly, reaching out as if to grab something.

"Father, Mother..." she called out, her lips trembling.

Jiang Wen patted her head and gently comforted her, saying, "Your parents have gone to take care of something, but they will come back to see you later."

"Ah."

"You must be obedient, study hard, and live a good life."

"Ah."

"Actually, the night is not scary. As long as you muster up the courage, you can overcome it."

"Ah."

After exchanging questions and answers, the two walked towards the village.

As the sun rose higher, its light became even more dazzling.

...When Jiang Wen opened his eyes again, he was already back in the dwelling of the Rock People.

He calmed the surging magical power within him and looked at Liang Yuan in front of him.

The woman lay on the stone bed and fell into a deep sleep. Her dissipating magical power subsided, and even her Dao heart stabilized.

Jiang Wen looked her up and down, but had no impure thoughts about her graceful figure.

With a hint of surprise in his eyes, he chuckled, stroking his chin, "You've certainly had some good fortune, actually stepping into the Dao Palace Realm. Truly, fortune and misfortune are intertwined."

"You're lucky to have gotten through this."

The Dao Palace Realm is a realm that all cultivators from various sects of immortality yearn for.

The Life Fire Tempers the Dao Palace; taking that step marks entry into the extraordinary realm.

That is the step that separates mortals from immortals, a realm that countless cultivators cannot reach.

If the Sage of Sendai represents the supreme path, then the Dao Palace is the gateway to that path. Only by entering the realm of the Dao Palace can one have the opportunity to glimpse the Great Dao.

Although Jiang Wen had killed many Dao Palace cultivators, he knew what the Dao Palace meant to others.

As long as they don't do anything reckless, cultivators of the Dao Palace can live for ten thousand years.

Even if the physical body is destroyed, as long as the Dao Palace is not destroyed, the physical body can be rebuilt with the remnant soul of the Dao Palace.

Therefore, no one dares to provoke cultivators at the Dao Palace Realm, as they are immortal beings. Even if you grind them to dust, they might reappear decades later.

Moreover, cultivators of the Dao Palace can draw upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the spells they cast are far superior to those of cultivators at the Life Fire Realm.

Therefore, the various schools of immortality also refer to the Dao Palace as the Palace of Destiny.

A poem reads: "The dantian and purple palace contain the divine court, where dragon and tiger unite to nurture the true form. The life fire refines longevity, and the majestic Dao palace illuminates the void. A single point of spiritual light connects all phenomena, and the vast universe is formed from the celestial sphere. After the Yin-Yang furnace has finished its rebirth, one begins to realize that the primordial state is the primordial chaos."

Liang Yuan has truly been fortunate to have taken this step.

Seeing that he was still fast asleep, Jiang Wen didn't pay much attention. He dispelled the illusion array, stretched, and walked out of the house.

As soon as they stepped outside, they encountered Yanming, a burly man carrying a tree trunk several meters long into the courtyard.

Seeing that Jiang Wen had come out, he smiled and said, "Brother Jiang, have you rested well?"

"Thank you for your hospitality, Brother Yan. I've had a good rest."

“I was worried you wouldn’t be used to it, since it’s all stuff that we rock people are used to. I don’t know if people of your kind are used to it.”

"As long as we have a place to stay, that's fine. Besides, our accommodation isn't as nice as you think," Jiang Wen said, feigning distress.

"I've said too much," Yan Ming quickly said. "Brother Jiang, if you don't mind, why don't you come with me for a tour of the capital? I'm sure you'd like to see the capital as well."

“Yes, I was just thinking of going for a walk.” Jiang Wen was naturally happy to accept Yan Ming’s invitation.

He also wanted to see this capital city and see what secrets it held.

While Jiang Wen and Yan Ming were touring the capital, a small incident occurred among the dragon people.

The dragon man returned home with the things Jiang Wen had given him, and overjoyed, he took out the treasure.

These are three low-grade spirit stones, but they contain extremely rich spiritual energy. Compared to them, even immortal herbs seem insignificant.

A greedy look appeared in Long Renyan's eyes as he clutched the spirit stone and whispered, "What a treasure! What a treasure! I'm definitely going to strike it rich."

"You've struck it rich? What did you strike it rich on? What treasure are you hiding?"

Suddenly, a mocking laugh came from behind, and Longrenyan's face turned pale. He stiffly turned his head and looked at the newcomers, only to see three tall dragonmen standing in the shadows.

"You, you, how did you get into my house?!"

"How could we be here? Are you kidding me?" The leading dragon-man sneered, stepping forward with a weapon in his hand. "You still owe us money, how could we not come? I thought you weren't coming back. Now let me see what treasures you've acquired this time."

Upon hearing this, Long Renyan was terrified and clutched the spirit stone, crying out, "No, you can't do this! This is my treasure! I won't give it to you!"

"Your baby? Hmph, it's ours now! Get out of the way!"
