"The Kunhui Crystal Wall reflects everything that happens between heaven and earth. All the information is what truly occurred, without a single falsehood. Right and wrong cannot be used to filter them at all, because if something exists — or once existed — then it is all reasonable."
Carefree Wisdom Heart had been criticized, yet her eyes sparkled with brilliance: "I understand now. The existence of the world and all things, whether right or wrong, is all reasonable. They all carry their own true meaning. This is True Meaning!"
"Whether it's information or knowledge, they are all expressions of True Meaning — confessions in a particular form. If we can master True Meaning, we can explain not only what is right, but also what is wrong. It can comprehend everything!"
"Let us find it together."
The three of them began working as one, excavating True Meaning from the ocean-like vastness of knowledge.
Mighty True Martial grew impatient first, and even the Human Ancestor could not persist. Only Carefree Wisdom Heart remained meticulous and solemn of expression.
After an unknowable stretch of time, Mighty True Martial suddenly pointed at Carefree Wisdom Heart and cried out in surprise: "Look quickly! Another Gu has grown on you!"
The newly born Gu was called the Earnestness Gu.
Upon learning this, Carefree Wisdom Heart was quite delighted: "With this Gu, I'll be able to recognize True Meaning even better."
After another unknowable stretch of time, the Human Ancestor too pointed at Carefree Wisdom Heart: "Look — another Gu has grown on you."
The second Gu was called the Learning Gu.
Carefree Wisdom Heart then began to study knowledge, transforming it all into something she thoroughly understood, rather than merely memorizing it with the Memory Gu as before.
The more knowledge she thoroughly comprehended, the more a third Gu grew from her body.
The third Gu was called the Talent Gu.
"I've found it! I've found it!" One day, Carefree Wisdom Heart cried out in triumph. With the help of the Earnestness Gu, the Learning Gu, and the Talent Gu, she had finally found True Meaning within knowledge.
"Tell us quickly — what is True Meaning like?" Mighty True Martial was delighted and eagerly asked.
But Carefree Wisdom Heart shook her head: "There is True Meaning within, but to attempt to articulate it is already to forget the words."
"Then express it with ink script," Mighty True Martial suggested after a moment's thought.
But Carefree Wisdom Heart shook her head again: "It can only be grasped through intuition, not conveyed through writing!"
The Human Ancestor waved his hand: "Enough. Since you have True Meaning, let us set off at once."
Carefree Wisdom Heart now possessed ample True Meaning. Departing from Book Mountain, the ink script she scattered along the way formed an ink-script grand path far wider and sturdier than before.
The Human Ancestor and his children stepped onto the grand path and arrived at the Yuan Realm.
Within the Yuan Realm, they encountered the Wisdom Gu.
The Wisdom Gu was utterly helpless. It had hidden itself so deeply, yet the Human Ancestor still came seeking it. Unable to escape in time, it had no choice but to be devoured by one of its own Gu.
...
The eighth layer of the Frenzied Demon Cave.
At the center of the Green Lotus Great World.
The high seat atop Book Mountain was, for a rare occasion, fully occupied.
Che Wei held the fifth position, Qin Dingling the fourth, Immortal Lady Minghao the third, Immortal Lady Yuxiu the second, and Immortal Lady Fengya occupied the seat of honor.
Immortal Lady Fengya wore her hair in a coiled bun. Though well advanced in years, she showed no trace of fading beauty — she was elegant and resplendent.
A faint, luminous aura enveloped her entire body, the telltale sign of one who wielded the Talent Gu.
It was precisely through her stewardship and hidden efforts that the Yuan Realm had finally manifested above the summit of Book Mountain.
After Dao Tian's Space was destroyed, Yuxiu and Minghao immediately brought back the entire expedition force, returning in an instant to Immortal Lady Fengya's side.
Immortal Lady Minghao sighed: "Who would have thought Ju Yang Immortal Venerable's mastery of the Painting Dao ran so deep — he rescued Mao Li Qiu with effortless ease."
Heaven's Court had indeed intended to use Mao Li Qiu and the others to lure Ju Yang Immortal Venerable into acting.
They understood Ju Yang Immortal Venerable's protective nature all too well.
But what defied Heaven's Court's expectations was that Ju Yang Immortal Venerable had succeeded so easily, liberating the captives.
"The other party is, after all, a former Immortal Venerable. It's no surprise that he caught us off guard," Qin Dingling said. "Moreover, in this battle, it is our side that benefited the most."
But Immortal Lady Yuxiu was somewhat hesitant: "It's still too early to tell which side benefited the most. Our side expanded its advantage, Ju Yang Immortal Venerable reclaimed Mao Li Qiu, and Fang Yuan obtained the remaining Dao True Inheritance. For some reason, I cannot shake this unease in my heart."
Immortal Lady Fengya gazed at the Yuan Realm high in the sky: "The situation is now laid bare. Fang Yuan and Ju Yang will undoubtedly mobilize their full armies to invade. We will rest and wait — as long as we hold our defenses, we will seize the key to this war, ultimately achieving a great victory and restoring Heaven's Court to its former glory! Do you all have the confidence?"
The other Heaven's Court Gu Immortals, upon hearing this, were all moved and impassioned, speaking up one after another.
"It is all thanks to Lady Fengya's brilliant strategizing that we have such a favorable situation!"
"This time we must hold! We absolutely cannot let history repeat itself."
"Even at the cost of our lives, we will not hesitate."
"In my view, though the enemy's forces are numerous, Fang Yuan and Ju Yang will not be united without seams. Rather, they will be wary of each other."
The Yellow Earth Great World.
Lu Weiyin met with Fang Yuan, his brow deeply furrowed: "The Yuan Realm has already shown signs of manifesting. Heaven's Court's mastery of the Wisdom Dao is truly formidable — we cannot even hope to match it. The situation has truly become dire."
