The scholar spoke with a very standard accent. According to him, in his world, quite a few sages had once sat beneath his crown and taught students. He had listened to the sage Confucius teach students for several decades, and he had also heard the words of saints such as Mencius and Mozi.
He had heard far too many "things." Before, he had been nothing more than an ancient tree towering into the heavens, ignorant and thoughtless, so he had known nothing at all.
But now Ding Ling had "brought him back to life," removing the Silver Threads linking him to the Heavenly Dao and restoring his freedom completely. This had caused all the knowledge he had accumulated to burst forth. His wisdom now far surpassed that of ordinary mortals, and there was even a dense aura of a sage about him!
This aura made the scholar appear noble yet peaceful, elegant yet unpretentious, dignified yet approachable!
It was the outward manifestation of abundant inner cultivation. Anyone who saw him could not help but feel a sense of recognition rise from the depths of their heart.
As a result.
His words naturally drew even more attention.
He said:
"The descent of the Immortal Palace wasn't accomplished in a single step. Instead, it was like a pagoda slowly sinking into a swamp. Only when the pagoda had completely disappeared into the swamp would that Immortal Palace fully manifest in our world."
Why did he say this?
Simply because the Immortal Palace had given him exactly that feeling.
He continued:
"Perhaps it's because I'm relatively special. From beginning to end, I was ignorant and thoughtless, possessing only a hazy, indistinct perception. Therefore, when I fully awakened, I even retained all my memories from the Immortal Palace Territory."
Hearing this.
It wasn't only
