"That makes my plan more likely to succeed, and the fruit I reap will be bigger and fuller."
In the ruins of the Ancient Heavenly Court, the Divine Sense Meng Chuan had sent to the Human Dao Supreme World returned and merged with his True Body.
"Gather, cleanse, release, reincarnate..."
As he contemplated the Six Paths of Reincarnation, Meng Chuan felt satisfied. The theory was complete; next came practice.
Anything that had theory but no practice was empty talk.
And practice without a complete theory to support it was a castle in the air, bound to hit one obstacle after another.
"You've gained something again," Ruthless said beside him.
In the Scripture Pavilion, she had stayed with Meng Chuan, occasionally asking him questions.
There was nothing embarrassing about that. After more than a hundred thousand years of friendship, turning to Meng Chuan for answers was only natural.
Besides, Ruthless was not the sort to dwell on such things. If she had a question, she asked it.
The Emperors who had remained in the ruins of the Ancient Heavenly Court came by sometimes, but they spent most of their time alone.
The main reason was that they were on a different level from Meng Chuan and Ruthless. Even the aura of the Dao that Meng Chuan occasionally gave off could leave them entranced.
Then they would forget whatever they had come to do.
"A little. Just a little," Meng Chuan said modestly. It was not a huge gain—he had merely worked out a few key questions about the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

She just wondered whether this man was perhaps the tiniest bit... abnormal.
