Xu Luo sat quietly in his courtyard, enjoying the rare morning peace. A happy smile never left his face.
His path was different from others. The Heart Verification Dao required him to immerse himself in the most ordinary aspects of life, to experience and comprehend them, and finally, to achieve sublimation.
When Huangfu Chongzhi was at his most troubled over matters concerning the Divine Domain, he and Xu Luo once had a conversation.
"Why do we cultivate?" Xu Luo asked.
Huangfu Chongzhi answered, "Worldly people cultivate to become stronger. With strength comes fame and fortune."
"Then what about those from sects? Why do they cultivate?" Xu Luo asked again.
Huangfu Chongzhi replied, "To seek long life and explore the unknown."
Xu Luo asked, "And after attaining long life, what then?"
Huangfu Chongzhi pondered for a long time before slowly saying, "Live."
"In that case, whether you have a long life or not, isn't it all just living?" Xu Luo said with a smile.
