My cultivation is too warm

Ye Qingyue smiled faintly upon hearing this and said, "Junior Brother Wuyou, although you and Junior Sister Miaoqing have a deep relationship, you still don't understand or trust her enough."

"Like us, after learning that Junior Sister Miaoqing was the former Xianqing, we had no hesitation or doubt. We were absolutely certain that she would return in her full glory one day."

Xu Mo was surprised to hear this. He had thought that Ye Qingyue said this because there was some inside story, but it turned out to be just because of trust.

This puzzled him greatly. "Why is Senior Sister Ye so convinced? You know, everything in the past has been erased. Even Senior Sister Miaoqing couldn't possibly return when the very existence of the Dao itself has been erased, could she?"

"Junior Brother Wuyou, what do you think the Dao is?" Ye Qingyue suddenly asked, which stunned Xu Mo.

Why are they suddenly discussing philosophy? Weren't they talking about their senior sister?

Besides, it's such a spacious area.

To be honest, if he were still a mortal before he began his cultivation, Xu Mo could definitely talk eloquently about the question of what the Dao is, and every point he made would be considered part of the Dao. Even if he didn't understand it, didn't he still have the classic "Tao Te Ching" from his previous life?

All I need to do is recite a few lines of "The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao..." and I can get away with this problem.

But after cultivating for thousands of years, he is now only filled with confusion when faced with this question.

Seeing Xu Mo's conflicted expression, Ye Qingyue covered her mouth and laughed, "Pfft, Junior Brother Wuyou, I was just asking casually. You don't need to be so serious. Besides, I'm not some enlightened master who wants to take on disciples. No matter how well you answer, it's meaningless to me."

Xu Mo was speechless upon hearing this. Just as he was about to say something, Ye Qingyue continued, "I asked you this in the hope that you, junior brother, can understand that this kind of question, which is unanswerable for us, is extremely simple for junior sister Miaoqing."

She composed herself and said with utmost seriousness, "Because Junior Sister Miaoqing herself represents the Dao."

She felt something was off as soon as she finished speaking, so she shook her head seriously and added, "No, it should be said that Junior Sister Miaoqing has already transcended the Dao."

She then looked at Xu Mo and said very solemnly, "So, Junior Brother Wuyou, do you understand now?"

Xu Mo shook his head. He was completely bewildered and had no idea what the other person was trying to say.

Is Senior Sister Ye trying to imply that Senior Sister Miaoqing is a being who transcends the Dao and is very powerful?

But so what? No matter how strong it was, it no longer exists, does it?
Therefore, he replied without hesitation: "So what? The Dao no longer exists, and Senior Sister Miaoqing has also disappeared. That's the fact."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingyue stared at him with a strange expression, "Junior Brother Wuyou, why do you think the Dao no longer exists?"

"Huh?" Xu Mo was taken aback. "What do you mean by that, Senior Sister?"

Ye Qingyue shook her head helplessly and smiled, "I don't know the answer to the question of what the Dao is, but one thing I can be sure of is that the Dao is everywhere and has never disappeared."

As she spoke, she continued under Xu Mo's strange gaze, "Junior Brother Wuyou, have you forgotten that when you first brought science and technology here, wasn't it also called the Way of Science?"

"This..." Xu Mo felt that the other party was nitpicking. If that were the case, then the Dao would indeed be omnipresent, but what would be the point? Can one cultivate immortality through the path of science?

No!

At least for now, even with the advanced science and technology of Canggu that is thousands of years ahead of its predecessor, it is still impossible to help them cultivate immortality.

Of course, this may also be related to the fact that everything related to cultivation has been erased. Whenever people use science and technology to try to improve the human body's own strength, there seems to be a mysterious force preventing them from moving forward.

Otherwise, with genetic lock biotechnology and the like, they should have been able to turn them into humanoid Gundams long ago. But it's absurd that this is still not possible, even though the technology is so advanced.

Seeing Xu Mo's expression change like a chameleon, Ye Qingyue seemed to have guessed his inner thoughts and calmly said:

“My previous strength, cultivation, and achievements were not as high as yours, Junior Brother Wuyou, and my research on the Dao was not as deep as yours. However, there is one thing I am certain of: since we are able to exist, then the Dao has always existed. Otherwise, we should have disappeared long ago, just like the erased past.”

"Since they were able to preserve us, it means that the power that Junior Sister Miaoqing and the others used to protect us when they were in action was effective."

She then looked at Xu Mo and said meaningfully, "Do you understand now, Junior Brother?"

Ye Qingyue's words, like a resounding bell, directly shocked Xu Mo to an extreme degree. In that instant, he felt a flash of inspiration, like lightning, pass through his mind, as if he had thought of something, but he couldn't grasp it no matter what.

Regardless, Ye Qingyue's words were like opening a door to a new world for him, making him think of countless possibilities.

He then looked at Ye Qingyue with some urgency and asked, "Senior Sister Ye, do you mean that Senior Sister Miaoqing and the others haven't disappeared yet?"

Ye Qingyue shook her head, then said with a somewhat lost and sad expression, "No, regarding this matter, Junior Sister Miaoqing and the others must have been completely erased and disappeared just like everything in the past. Otherwise, given Junior Sister Miaoqing's personality, she would have come to find you, Junior Brother Wuyou, long ago."

"What I want to express is that since we are able to exist, the traces of the power that Junior Sister Miaoqing used to protect us have not been erased. Therefore, one day after countless years, she will definitely be able to return with this power. I firmly believe this."

After saying that, she took a deep breath, looked at Xu Mo, and brought the topic back to the beginning of the discussion, saying, "Since it is a foregone conclusion that Junior Sister Miaoqing will return, that's why I asked you if you are worried that when Junior Sister Miaoqing returns one day, she will be angry about you and Huanhuan having a child."

"This..." Faced with this question, Xu Mo really didn't know how to answer it for a moment. He remembered when he activated his clone, holding the child that the clone had transformed into, and the empty look in Senior Sister Miaoqing's eyes.

It seems I'm actually quite worried.

Just then, Ye Qingyue suddenly smiled faintly and said, "If that's the case, I think you don't need to worry at all, Junior Brother."

"Hmm?" Xu Mo looked at Ye Qingyue with some curiosity upon hearing this.

Facing his gaze, Ye Qingyue calmly said, "I think that Junior Brother, your decision to start a family and have children with Huanhuan was made with the consent of Junior Sister Miaoqing."
