Ah, Mu Wenjie has no temper left after being tangled up by this old woman. You could say that the old woman isn't really bad, her heart is indeed not bad. But, she just happens to be a bit too harsh in her words.
This is really difficult for Mu Wenjie to accept, because so many girls are under her control. They all listen to her without question. I have an old woman here who is playing against her, and such a situation makes me feel very uncomfortable indeed.
The old woman, of course, realizes Mu Wenjie's helplessness. She smiles and says, "Young man, don't be angry. Holding in anger is harmful to your health. You've already reached this level of calmness, so it's good that my words can still upset you. This shows that your state of mind is still not entirely stable."
Mu Wenjie thinks about it and realizes that the old woman is actually right. My own current state is already at the stage of crossing over to a higher realm, and still getting angry over a word does show that my mindset is not as calm as water.
Ask, Mu Wenjie at this time has understood that he bowed to the old lady in gratitude, thanking the elderly for his advice.
The old woman, on the contrary, is indifferent and says, "Young man, many things in life, temperament sometimes really needs a long time to temper. You were just now saw me for the first time, thought I was underhanded in my chest and mind. To be honest, I was like that at the beginning. But later on, my state of mind was gradually changed to not caring. These things are destined by heaven. If you want to change them, you can only conform to the will of heaven and cannot go against it. Therefore, everything has its cause and effect, and finally there will be an outcome. How this outcome is like is all arranged by heaven. Whether you can accept it or not is your own business. If you can accept it, you may have a bright future ahead of you; if you cannot accept it, then your future may not be so bright."
Mu Wenjie suddenly had a Eureka moment. "Old lady, you've given me a wake-up call. Thank you for allowing me to achieve an elevation in another dimension. I am very grateful to you."
Ding Qingyao and Qingxia seemed to have understood something from their conversation as well. "Actually, attitude is more important than anything else. As long as you can let go of everything, you can achieve enlightenment. If you cannot let go of everything, then it will only harm yourself. Therefore, you need to learn to let go."
Mu Wenjie said, "The old lady is a high-realm expert as well. Compared to you, we are still far behind. Indeed, we should learn from you diligently in the future."
The old woman said, "Don't say that, my child. Everyone calls me the crazy old woman, but actually, I'm very happy inside. In their eyes, I might be crazy andcapricious, but in my heart, I am the most clear. So, many people think I'm a crazy old woman, a fool. Therefore, I just pretend to be foolish. You won't hold a fool's opinions against someone anyway. When you don't hold a fool's opinions against someone..."
So, isn't that fool successful? Do we really need to talk so much? Therefore, many things depend on one's state of mind rather than what one sees with their eyes. What one sees is not always the truth. What is seen with the eyes may not necessarily be true. So, maybe things that are seen are not always real.
Mu Wenjie bowed deeply to the old woman named Feng and said, "Thank you, old lady. You have truly made a profound impact on me."
The crazy old woman was unpretentious. "Young man, actually, I don't have anything more than you. I just have a few more years of life experience than you. So, in the decades of life that you have ahead of you, I will have learned a lot, known a lot, and experienced a lot. That's why I have such results."
One cannot deny that the crazy old woman's words can touch many people's hearts. If one follows her advice, many people can truly improve their state of mind. Mu Wenjie asked, "Don't you think it's hard for you to be with us, old lady? We are young people, and we joke and laugh together. But you sit there silently without saying or laughing. Is it interesting?"
The crazy old woman sighed and said, "Ah, my youthful years have long passed. Think about it; in your future decades, I've already experienced them all. How could I still care about those young and lively times of romance and laughter? In fact, joining you in traveling the world is my best choice. I have no greater needs because these things are nearing their end. When you reach the end of your life, what more do you need? You won't care about those things anymore."
Mu Wenjie couldn't help but give the crazy old woman a thumbs up. "Aunt, your temperament is really high. I am truly impressed. In the past, I used to be somewhat self-righteous. Now, through communicating with this aunt, it seems that there are many things we still have a long way to go in terms of both our understanding and our perspective."
The crazy old woman didn't seem to mind it. "Actually, you young people are much stronger than me. First of all, you have managed to cross over and ascend to a higher realm in just a short period of time. I had to work hard for decades to achieve my current status. This is truly unmatchable. Although you haven't experienced all the things I have, if you were to experience them, we would still be far apart. After all, you are young, and I have been through many things in my years. As for your cultivation methods, you have reached such a high level in such a short time, with such rapid understanding and talent, it's no wonder that you are extraordinary beings. As for me, I have been doing nothing but wasting my years."
Ding Qingyao quickly took over the conversation. "Old lady, your knowledge, experience, and insights are truly invaluable. What you've shared with us has been incredibly beneficial to me. Throughout our travels across the world, we've always pondered a question: for whom are we traveling? After much contemplation and reflection, we haven't yet found a complete answer. But today, thanks to you, dear old lady, you have helped us find the solution."
No matter the whirlwind and storm around, he remains unmoved and his heart steadfast. Such unwavering belief is what a cultivator should possess.
Mu Wenjie was deeply moved by these words. Although he has experienced a lot in his life, he has never experienced a life like the old lady's, with her career in the government and all the hardships she has faced. He has only experienced fame and fortune, and has done some unexpected things to benefit the people. But, he wonders, could he possibly take care of so many people?
It seems that I will need to warn these people to be more serious and grounded in their pursuit, rather than chasing an empty goal like this. Indeed, without much experience or knowledge, it's just like floating on a pond without roots.
Mu Wenjie shook his head. "I'm still too young and hasty in my pursuit of success. So, when I encounter opportunities, I don't let them go. When I come across a good opportunity, I absorb it and immediately boost my power. Actually, this is a serious mistake."
Mu Wenjie began to deeply regret his actions. He felt that, at 20 years old, after attaining enlightenment in Africa, he would eventually reach the celestial realm. Although he may have high achievements and great abilities, there are still many things he cannot do without the experience and knowledge he has gained. In the end, he would still be a laughing stock among others.
When Mu Wenjie was filled with regret, the other women also felt helpless. They thought about it and realized that others ascended to enlightenment at the age of 80-90 or even hundreds of years, while they ascended at the age of 20-30. The difference in experience between them was considerable. If they had experienced decades or even hundreds of years in their journey to enlightenment, their wealth of knowledge and experiences would be beyond imagination.
Mu Wenjie shook his head, sighing, "Sometimes it's as if when you should meet someone, you're not allowed to, and when you shouldn't meet them, you do. If I had met you earlier, old lady, at least I would have been able to cultivate here for ten more years."
If you had ten years of experience and understanding, then you would be able to accomplish anything without any obstacles, which is truly hard to accept.
The other middle-aged women also started regretting their actions one by one. "Really, if we hadn't had this experience, after we ascend, our future children would ask us, 'How did you achieve enlightenment? What experiences did you go through?' And we would have nothing to say. We just relied on this elixir and the coincidence of opportunity to ascend like this."
She felt a bit embarrassed when facing her child and saying these things, as if she wasn't really experienced but was just walking step by step.
Ah, Meng Wenjie was also confused. Now he finally understood what it meant, but it was too late. It was like shooting an arrow; once you draw the bow, there's no turning back. He couldn't turn back now. You could only continue to travel the world slowly, and after you've finished your travels and overcome your tribulations to ascend, whatever needs to be done still has to be done.
The other women asked Mu Wenjie, "Wenjie, do you think we can ascend a bit later than you all? If possible, we'd like to spend at least a few more years here. In these few years, we're sure to accumulate some knowledge and experience."
Mu Wenjie chuckled and said, "It's not impossible, but you guys can decide for yourselves. I won't interfere with all of your decisions. If you want to ascend together, we'll ascend together. If you don't want to ascend together and want to stay at home for a while, then stay at home for a while. When the time is right, you can ascend then."
After Mu Wenjie said these words, indeed, one of the women didn't want to ascend anymore. They were already at the late stage of great achievement, and if they were to take another step and ascend to the next level, it would be easy for ordinary progress, but this kind of progress was very difficult. From the late stage of great achievement to the peak of great achievement was just one step, and at least ordinary people needed ten years to complete this step.
So Mo Wenjie told them, "You can continue to cultivate here and ascend after you're able to truly fly up. I hope you all gain some insights and understanding during this journey, and make a better plan for your future. By then, you will have more experience than we do."
Suddenly, the Wind Mistress saw Mo Wenjie and couldn't help but laugh. "Young man, your ability to deceive people is quite strong. You've managed to persuade them not to ascend with you."
Mu Wenjie said to the Wind Mistress, "I don't care what you think, but at least this is how I see it. If they want to ascend with me, we'll ascend together. If they don't want to ascend with me, they won't. They can continue to cultivate here and accumulate experience for at least ten years. Isn't that right?"
The crazy old woman smiled and shook her head. "You young fellow, your mood really is great. Not many people can compare with you. You have such sharp mind and innovative thinking as well as a new realm of understanding, which means that even most old monsters over 60 might not be as strong as you."
Mu Wenjie was responding to the Wind Mistress's praise. He said that he had already reached this point and couldn't go back. If he could really turn back, he would start again. After traveling around for decades, he would accomplish his dreams for the future.
The crazy old woman said, "Young man, your thoughts are really good, and your attitude is excellent. It's rare to find a young man like you. I've spent my whole life waiting until I was on the brink of ascending before meeting you. I'm not just complimenting you."
