Iron Pillar Temple, Sanqing Hall.
In front of the solemn statue of Sanqing God, Zhang Dao sat cross-legged with his eyes slightly closed. He had obviously entered a dream and participated in the promotion ceremony.
Beside him were the fourth princes Ji Chengyuan and Meng Xiuwu, sitting opposite each other and waiting quietly.
Outside the palace, there were a large number of guards guarding him.
A middle-aged eunuch with a white face and no beard walked in from outside the palace, came closer, and whispered: "Your Highness, there is news from the palace that Your Majesty is summoning Elder Tianxuan of the Dinghu Sect."
The fourth prince did not answer, but nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
But inadvertently, he looked outside the hall as if casually. There, an invisible sword force flashed past.

[At the age of twenty-three, Jiang Li went into business. With his outstanding calculation power and extraordinary scheming, he made his first pot of gold, and then... he almost went bankrupt. 】
[Even though his memory has not been sealed, and the computing power and wisdom brought by cultivation and Dao Fruit are still there, Jiang Li still almost experienced bankruptcy because he was not adaptable to certain rules in his previous life. 】
[So Jiang Li chose to collude with government officials and businessmen. 】
[At the age of twenty-four, Jiang Li became one of the top ten outstanding young people. 】
[At the age of thirty-four, Jiang Li became famous. 】
[At the age of thirty-five, Jiang Li retired. 】
[After that, time seemed to speed up, and more than thirty years passed in the blink of an eye. 】
The red light of the setting sun passed through the transparent glass and shone on the graying hair. Jiang Li quietly watched the words appear in front of him, and a kind of enlightenment emerged from his heart.
All told, it's been forty years.
At first, Jiang Li was hesitant about letting go of his obsession.
Because in his opinion, the way back may not be found until the first level, and by then, after a long time, will he still miss his former relatives.
Time can erase everything, including emotions.
Comparing the more than twenty years in the previous life with the unknown number of years in the future, it is no longer obvious which one has the greater proportion.
It is precisely based on this idea that Jiang Li has always had hidden worries in his heart. And the hidden worries made him miss his family more and more, causing him to fall into a strange circle, and he chose to put this idea aside for the time being, that is, to escape.
This is his only mental flaw.
Huang Liang Yimeng uncovered this flaw and asked Jiang Li to make a choice. Whether you let go of this obsession, practice wholeheartedly, and cut off the worldly ties, or you still can’t let go, continue to retain it, and move forward with a heavy load.
Jiang Li did not make a decision directly at that time, but left the answer to time.
If time can really dilute everything, then there will be no need to make any more choices, Jiang Li has already given up.
If you can't, then keep it, even if you can't advance to Chunyang Zhenren Dao Fruit because of this, keep it. Could this person really be manipulated by a unique Tao Fruit?
Now, time has indeed given Jiang Li the answer.
The old face gradually becomes younger, and the vicissitudes of time are constantly washed away.
"If you want to let go, it shouldn't be because you are afraid of the negative effects of obsession."
"If you can't let it go, you shouldn't keep it with the thought of carrying a burden."
The answer brought by time is relief. Whether you let go or not, it all depends on your own will, rather than making decisions based on certain influences.
"True flawlessness is not affected by external objects, nor is it afraid of the wear and tear of time."
Jiang Li didn't need to let go. After spending a long time, he had lost sight of time. There is no need to worry about the impact of obsession, nor the wear and tear caused by time.
When he is struggling with whether to let go, then no matter which choice he makes, it is wrong.
The collection of cause and effect opened automatically, and new text was added on the homepage, before the record three and a half years ago, which was the record of Jiang Li's previous life.
[If you can reach the first level one day, then try to find a way to get back. As for now, I still think about how to take down the master and senior sister. That's what I should care about. 】
[Jiang Li tolerated the past and let go of the past. 】
New words appeared on the causal set, and the surrounding scenes gradually dissolved.
When Jiang Li completely regained his youth, he also escaped from the dream and was about to wake up from it.

If there is a book, it will be long; if there is no book, it will be short.
I have been dreaming for many years, but in reality, the rice has not yet matured.
A faint luster condensed in mid-air, revealing the shadow of a Taoist. Wearing a bright zodiac robe and a Huayang scarf on his head, with pure Yang and a clear mind, as soon as the Taoist appears, he brings a perfect and warm aura, shining like the sun and nourishing all things like spring rain.
Then, the shadow of this Taoist walked towards the small pavilion.
But who would have expected that at this moment, there was also an invisible pull coming from the Sanqing Palace on the other side, causing the Taoist's shadow to stagnate slightly.
"Both of them have had a dream?!"
Tong Yuanzi couldn't help but grab the long beard, "And the time is almost the same?"
If this is the case, it would be a bit troublesome, but fortunately it is not him who needs to be troubled, but the shadow of the Taoist.
What's even better is that the shadow of the Taoist has no brain.
Therefore, after a short delay, Chunyang Zhenren's Dao Fruit still followed the previous trajectory and headed towards the direction of the small pavilion.
"Be bold!"
Tong Yuanzi suddenly shouted, the banana fan moved, and a strong wind blew up, hitting the empty space on the right.
"Bang!"
The Gangfeng exploded, obviously hitting the air, but it was cut and split like a sword blade, and then exploded, whipping up a wild wind.
"There's an assassin!"
Upon seeing this, Mingyue let out a sharp cry, while Qingfeng pulled his companion and ducked behind Tong Yuanzi.
"Daoguo promotion depends on one's ability. Don't make mistakes."
Tong Yuanzi said solemnly, his hair and beard were all raised, he was no longer lazy and carefree as before, showing his extraordinary power.
But what responded to him was an even more extraordinary sword light.
A ray of sword light seemed to emerge from nothingness, opening up all things, breaking through all the ways it passed, and cutting everything it passed.
Its mere appearance caused the small pavilion to be split into two, and its mighty and powerful sword could cut through the heaven and the earth, crushing everything.
Incited by the sword's power, the starlight on Jiang Li's body couldn't stop turbulence, and he was about to take the initiative to draw out the true energy from his body for defense.
But if that happens, it is very likely that Jiang Li's promotion will be interrupted and the promotion ceremony will fall short.
"Level 4 killer move!"
Tong Yuanzi faced the sword force directly, with fine sword marks appearing all over his body. He couldn't help but let out a strange scream, and swept with his kick. The sword force created a gap where his big foot passed, allowing him to quickly avoid it with the two Taoist boys. .
In this way, when Jiang Li faced the most powerful and sharp sword, he saw light flowing through the sky, and in a moment——
Moonlight shone on Jiang Li's body, and an inexplicable connection pulled him out of the dream ahead of time. The sitting figure opened its eyes, covered in starlight, and at the same time, the phantom flew into Jiang Li's body like a baby swallow. Body.
"Causal set, let me see your limit."
I’m very confused and don’t know how to write to express what I mean.
The previous chapter had already led book friends to misunderstand that Jiang Li was going to give up everything and go back to being a cow horse. This chapter can't be like this, so he has been grinding it back and forth until now.
I want to explain that with the protagonist's current strength, he can't even find the door to go back. Even if he wants to go back and be a cow horse, he can't do it. Not to mention, it is impossible for Jiang Li to be a cow and horse.
As for homesickness, it can be said that it has been resolved in the promotion ceremony of the sixth rank. It can be said that it has been let go. Next, it is time to truly integrate into the world and flourish.
A platinum author once said that it would be a dereliction of duty on the part of the author to ask him to explain otherwise. I will pay more attention to it in the future.
