Mowenjie asked Dumliang's old man: how do you practice here to cross the calamity and ascend?
Dumliang the elder chuckled, "Young man, actually everyone is the same; it's just that we practice in different places. I've been practicing in these ten thousand mountains, while you've been practicing outside. So although our practice places are different, we're achieving the same result in different ways."
Mo Wenjie nodded and said, "This is indeed true. Whether it's anyone practicing, regardless of where they are, although the methods may differ, the goal is all the same - to cross the calamity and ascend. So in this sense, our goals are consistent."
Mo Wenjie was inspired by Du Mingliang, letting him have countless reflections. In fact, everyone is striving for a single purpose, to cross the calamity and ascend. Whether it's cultivation or other reasons, the goal is always to cross the calamity and ascend. This situation already indicates that our goals are consistent, regardless of how your cultivation methods or opportunities are. Those are personal issues, but the central idea and target remain the same - to cross the calamity and ascend.
Mo Wenjie bowed deeply to Du Mingliang, saying, "Elder sir, your words have awakened the dreamer in me. It seems that experiencing more is indeed better for a person. I have experienced too little, which is why I lack so much experience."
Du Mingliang waved his hand and said, "Actually, there's nothing special about it. It's just that I've experienced more than you. You have experienced less, so there is a gap between us. I have gone step by step and haven't had any special encounters. That's why I have experienced more. You have many special encounters in life, which have given you many resources, so you can quickly reach a high level."
Mo Wenjie nodded and praised Du old man, "Your invaluable experience is indeed worth learning from me. I have always wanted such an opportunity, but unfortunately, I haven't had one. Now, however, I have this opportunity. I hope that I can learn well from you, experience things that I haven't experienced before, and have a chance to redefine myself."
Du Mingliang said, "Young man, you are already very good and outstanding. To be honest, I am very envious of you. Although our paths are different, having such an opportunity shows that it is in your destiny. Just as with everyone else, it's a matter of destiny. For example, my destiny required several experiences before being resolved, but yours was predetermined to be solved in just 20 years. So we have different experiences and therefore face different risks."
Mo Wenjie nodded, "Elder sir, I really envy you for having experienced so many ups and downs, accumulating such rich experiences and experiences. That's why everyone's experiences are different, and the experiences they bear are different. I hope you can help me."
Du Mingliang said, "Young man, you are already very outstanding. It's not that I'm praising you, but I'm truly expressing my evaluation of you - you are truly exceptional and undoubtedly a rare talent. Therefore, I hope you will continue to make efforts in this area and strive to achieve greater heights. May you become a saint or an emperor. This is my hope for you and also my expectation."
Mo Wenjie nodded and said, "Elder sir, I will do as you suggest, and I will strive to accomplish these tasks. However, there are many things where I really lack experience. During the journey of life, the time is too short, so there will be many methods and approaches that are lacking in experience, which might also be a shortcoming."
Du Mingliang said, "Young man, I can only tell you many things, and you have to experience them yourself. What others tell you is just the accumulated experience of others. Your own accumulated experience is something you need to gradually understand. What others have experienced may be helpful to you, but your own accumulated experience is more beneficial to yourself. So I hope you can recognize this reality."
Mo Wenjie nodded and praised the elder, "You are absolutely right, and I understand the meaning of your words very well. It's not easy to achieve what you want. I have also been gradually changing myself. Before, I might have ascended a long time ago. Now that I've experienced many things, I feel that ascending early is not as good as ascending late. So, now I'm just exercising here to accumulate more experience."
Du Mingliang said, "Young man, that's not right of you. It's fine that you're accumulating experience now, but if it comes to crossing the calamity and ascending, you still need to do it. You can't just keep waiting here and expect to gain a lot. If you really reach another realm with new scenery, you'll have new insights and a new start. A person can't always live in the past, can they? You need to face reality and move forward bravely. Don't worry about whether you've flown into ascension at a young age in your 20s and lack experience. Not everyone is like that, because everyone has different experiences. What about your experiences? They are about rapid ascension, while others may never have that opportunity, right? So I hope you can face everything properly and ascend when the time comes."
Mo Wenjie nodded, "Elder sir, I know I'm wrong. Now I fully understand that many things are accumulated over time. Even if I were to ascend one or two years later, the current situation doesn't allow me to accumulate much knowledge at this stage. After all, I am at the later stage now, and people can only respect and revere me. That is why they earn my rewards. So now I understand."
Du Mingliang smiled and nodded, "If you can understand this, it's a sign that you are indeed a rare talent. You are truly outstanding. If placed anywhere, you would be a genius. So I hope you can take all things seriously and not consider many irrelevant details. Just ascend when you can."
Mo Wenjie said, "I know, I'm really conflicted right now. Well, you could say I'm lucky, and indeed, I am lucky. Being able to cross the calamity and ascend in my 20s is a big deal. But when it comes to luck, I feel there's an element of unluckiness because you haven't experienced much and thus lack a lot of experience. And right now, experience is crucial."
Du Mingliang said, "Young man, why worry so much? You should just focus on facing reality when it comes to ascending. Whatever happens, it won't be the same every time. When you ascend, whether you ascend or not doesn't matter - just focus on it and don't worry about too many other things. Don't burden yourself with too many things, that's not good for yourself and also not responsible to yourself."
Mo Wenjie nodded, "Elder sir, I understand. I won't hold myself back anymore. If it's time to ascend, I will do so. If it's not the time to ascend, I'll wait a bit longer. When it's really time to ascend, there's no need to wait any longer. The earliest ascension is better than the latest one. And maybe even get some other information or support earlier."
Du Mingliang said, "Young man, I'll be honest with you. We're all destined to cross the calamity and ascend. So it's just a matter of opportunity, which I hope we both can seize. It benefits us and also benefits the future. When we have the chance to help others, it's best to help them. After all, in the heavens, we are all humans from Earth, aren't we? So if I can help, I'll help."
Mo Wenjing nodded, "Elder sir, you are absolutely right. As long as it is possible to help others, I will definitely help others. There is no doubt about it. I have always hoped to help others, so that they can be happy and fulfilled, and ultimately achieve my own goals. This is my goal and I am very willing to help others."
Du Mingliang said, "Young man, it seems that your mindset has enabled you to overcome all challenges. No wonder you can ascend in just 20 years. It's your mindset that determines everything. Since you have a good mindset and are willing to help others, others will also help you, and heaven will help you as well. Therefore, it will give you opportunities for cultivation at every turn, something others can only dream of or wish for. But for you, there's no need to think or ask for such opportunities. You possess them naturally, which is something no one else can compare to."
Mo Wenjie shook his head and said, "Oh, please don't praise me too much; I am ashamed. I am also someone who can help a lot of people, but to be honest, the number of people I have truly helped is not that many. I mean, we don't have that much experience, and I also think it's partly due to my own decisions. It's hard to say whether they were good or bad decisions. I can't really say now; let's just wait and see."
Du Mingliang said, "Young man, don't get excited or anxious. Some things need to be done step by step. You can't say that you want everything your way right now. Not everyone has many things, and even if you cross the calamity and ascend, it doesn't necessarily mean that you will reach your ideal level. So, for any matter, you should take a broad view and not be in a hurry. Be patient and do things slowly. That's the best way."
Mo Wenjie nodded hurriedly, "Yes, elder sir. I do tend to rush into things a bit. I hope that you can guide me more in this regard and help me mature and stay calm."
Du Mingliang said, "Alas, young man, how can I make you understand? What I'm saying is to help you become mature and stable, not to encourage you to be overly proactive with everything. So I hope you can recognize the situation and not blindly consider too many problems. There are many issues that are not within your scope of consideration, and even if you think about them, it won't be of any use, will it?"
Mo Wenjie nodded repeatedly, "Yes, elder sir. I'll do whatever you say. Currently, I am just a student who wants to learn some useful things from you. Even though the time is limited, any knowledge I can acquire will be helpful. It's better to learn something than not to learn anything at all. As they say, 'practice makes perfect', and learning at the last minute can still help."
