My Wife Is The Final Boss

Chapter 1147 - 628: Li Zhibai’s Dao (Double - ) (Part 2)

Thus, that’s why you care so much about this issue, Young Master.

’Young Master, it’s actually okay...’

She wanted to walk over and tell Xu Chang’an that, in fact, he is the Dao, and thus there is no need to worry about Miss Yun’s thoughts. No matter what path Miss Yun pursues, she is pursuing him, so there’s no need to be concerned...

But where did she have the right to say such things, so she could only twist her fingers a bit restlessly and stand there uneasily.

At this moment, Ah Qing truly understood Xu Chang’an.

He was indeed thinking about this, as Yun Qian’s cultivation had been stuck for a long time.

In Xu Chang’an’s eyes, there was no doubt that Miss Yun is a person who only pursues beliefs and ideals. If enlightenment means following one’s heart, then Yun Qian still has hope to reach a high place in cultivation... but if it’s genuinely the Heavenly Dao...

Then it’s over.

Then basically Yun Qian might as well give up on cultivation.

How could Yun Qian seek existence beyond him? Even if the other party couldn’t be called a person, just principles and rules... but there’s no need to think, Yun Qian definitely wouldn’t care about any Heavenly Dao...

So, only if the enlightened one’s inner Dao exists can Miss Yun... possibly continue to live?

Xu Chang’an took a deep breath, waiting for Li Zhibai’s response.

"What is the Dao?" Li Zhibai, upon hearing this, didn’t explain immediately and just smiled helplessly, "You would ask that."

This question, who knows how many cultivators have considered it a roadblock on their path.

"I just can’t understand it." Xu Chang’an shook his head.

If it’s said that people cultivate to pursue the ’Dao’... then from the beginning, Xu Chang’an had a doubt in his heart.

That is, the Dao he pursues, is it something like ’the principles of life’, ’beliefs and ideals’ that can’t be realized... or does a Heavenly Dao, a Grand Dao, really exist in this world, as described in legends and novels?

In fact, Xu Chang’an also knew that the word ’Dao’ encompasses everything, so the latter and the former cannot conflict... but after all, this is the cultivation realm, with immortals, so Xu Chang’an should be more inclined to give the ’Dao’ a concrete and singular image.

Is the ultimate goal of a person’s diligent cultivation to achieve what the heart desires, or simply to challenge the ultimate goal of this world...

This matter is still very important to Xu Chang’an.

It’s probably the difference between ideals and reality.

More importantly, it’s important to Yun Qian.

"..."

Seeing Xu Chang’an’s confusion, Li Zhibai also didn’t know how to respond. She could sense what Xu Chang’an wanted to ask... but even she, even as the sect leader, couldn’t determine the nature of the Heavenly Dao.

And based on her own journey, Li Zhibai has always been the type to take one step at a time. To her, the Dao is neither an ideal belief nor a concrete existence; it is simply ahead.

The merging of night and day, the integration of yin and yang, knowing white and guarding black, is the appearance of the Dao...

And as long as there is a path ahead, she will move forward.

If there is no path ahead, she will stop.

Going with the flow, this is the girl named Li Zhibai.

And precisely because of this personality, when Shi Qingjun discovered that after the Qiankun Realm there was no longer a path, he knew that Li Zhibai was unlikely to ever break through to the Qiankun Realm, so Shi Qingjun chose Zhu Tongjun.

Unlike how Li Zhibai stops when there is no path, Zhu Tongjun would continue forward even if battered and bruised.

Thus, knowing her own nature, Li Zhibai realized that Chang’an’s question should not be answered by her.

Her philosophy is suitable for those ’observers’ without much ambition or ideal, fitting for some women without much ambition, suitable... for those whose eyes only focus on the person they care about.

But it does not fit Chang’an.

Chang’an is like a blazing fire; accepting her philosophy would only have a negative effect on him.

Thus, as a teacher, Li Zhibai was rarely at a loss and in a dilemma. After contemplating for a while, she could only resort to the formulaic words from the Dao Scripture to give Xu Chang’an a stiff answer.

"Chang’an, as said in the Dao Scripture: The string is so subtle it cannot be named, it returns to the intangible, this is the formless form, the image of nothingness, which is the Dao."

"...teacher."

"Hmm?"

"Your student is foolish and doesn’t understand." Xu Chang’an reminded Li Zhibai.

"You..." Li Zhibai sighed, gently pressing her fingers to her brow, her face helpless.

Chang’an... doesn’t he know when to stop?

Does he really want his teacher to tell him the way of being a woman?

I’ve already stated that I don’t understand the way of outsiders, yet why keep asking.

"Chang’an, the Dao should be invisible. Can something visible really be called the Dao? So not understanding is normal." Li Zhibai reminded Xu Chang’an, "The Dao you find yourself is your Dao; others’ experiences should not be used for reference."

So, Li Zhibai never thought of finding an opportunity for breakthrough from others; her Dao is nature, so even if the future is dark, it is still her own path to walk.

In this respect, she is different from Ah Qing.

Even Ah Qing would follow Shi Qingjun’s path.

Think carefully.

With such a beloved wife by his side, it is inevitable as a husband to be influenced, so her husband must not be someone of an extreme character, and... won’t defy the Heavenly Dao?

Perhaps it is for this reason that the woman named ’Zhibai’ is, in essence, the closest to the ’Heavenly Dao’. That’s why she might have been the ’wife’ or ’pawn’ placed by the Heavenly Dao in his past life.

However, at this time, Li Zhibai’s seniority is terrifyingly high, and she is no longer a pawn or a wife, but a mother.

So whether Xu Chang’an is an immortal reincarnation, or even the immortal body... she never considered getting anything from him. On the contrary, as a teacher, she would even gift Xu Chang’an more.

"Chang’an, I’ve been fortunate to see stories in the Immortal Records about an immortal cultivator: "Their garments are glorious but not of silk, radiant and indescribable."

Li Zhibai withdrew her gaze from Xu Chang’an.

"Mm~" Li Zhibai clenched her fists, stretched her body, and felt comfortable in mind and spirit.

"...?"

Seeing his teacher looking so leisurely, Xu Chang’an was a bit puzzled: "Teacher? You haven’t answered my question yet?"

"I’ve already made myself very clear, how to interpret the rest... is your own business now."

Xu Chang’an: "..."

Should I say, worthy of being the teacher?

Or rather... a teacher should cultivate a student’s divergent thinking.

Sigh.

He could actually understand Li Zhibai’s thinking.

The Grand Dao is shapeless; it is everything yet belongs to nothing, so everyone has their own Dao... he shouldn’t ask others.

But Miss Yun is different.

Miss Yun’s Dao would surely be in pursuit of others, just like her own self becoming more and more alike...

He, Xu Chang’an, is that "other" for Yun Qian, so of course he wants to figure it out, thus the Dao cannot be vague; it must be specific.

At this moment, Xu Chang’an instead felt that if the Grand Dao, the Heavenly Dao, really was as Yun Qian imagined, a road that can be seen and stepped on...

Even if that road wasn’t attractive, was a muddy path on a rainy day, as long as it can be seen, it’s a good thing.

System: "..."

If the system really had its own consciousness at this time, one might wonder what it would think.

But in any case...

The host it chose is indeed not someone easy to handle; never letting it have a day of peace.

Ah Qing on the side was also quite anxious.

"..."

Young Master, don’t let such trivial matters weigh on your mind, it’s distressing to see.

"Enough... I can’t even understand immortals right now, let alone talk about the Dao." Xu Chang’an said helplessly: "Compared to the everlasting immortals, the fleeting life is always swiftly passing. A person’s life from beginning to end seems like an instant."

"What do you mean?" Li Zhibai looked at Xu Chang’an.

The topic of immortals should have already passed.

"..."

Xu Chang’an had told Yun Qian long ago that he only cared about this life.

But...

He actually doesn’t dislike the next life.

Teacher... one wonders how she would view his contradiction.
