Chapter 70: Master Is Truly Impressive

“But I don’t believe you actually have any useful knowledge. You always talk nonsense.”

The Apron Nurse was convinced that Bai Yue only spouted nonsense, her tone full of suspicion.

“Just listen first before you decide.”

Bai Yue, looking confident, shook her head as if warming up.

“Fine, then go ahead.”

The Apron Boss Lady continued flipping the squid on the iron plate.

The squid sizzled with oil, its aroma growing stronger.

She looked up again, facing Bai Yue, waiting for her ‘knowledge’.

Bai Yue leaned in a little, asking mysteriously, “Boss Lady, you set up your stall here every day. Sometimes, do you ever feel like you can’t see the future?”

“Can’t see the future… That’s true.”

The Apron Boss Lady was stunned for a moment, then nodded honestly.

“I’m just a worker. How could I have the ability to see the future? But what’s that got to do with the ‘knowledge’ you’re talking about?”

“Of course, it matters!”

Bai Yue emphasized, “What I want to say is, if you think you can’t see the future, it actually means you have seen the future.”

“I think I can’t see the future, but it actually means I have seen the future?”

The Apron Nurse repeated Bai Yue’s words.

The iron spatula she used for grilling squid clattered loudly onto the iron plate, making a harsh sound.

Her head visibly grew a size, and she hurriedly grabbed the stall’s countertop with both hands just to steady herself.

“What kind of nonsense is this? How is this knowledge? It’s just going in circles…”

“How is it not?”

Bai Yue raised her chin proudly.

“Look at my disciple.”

At her words, the Apron Nurse looked over at Mu Chenxi.

Mu Chenxi had already closed her eyes.

Strange and profound Dao Resonance swirled around her, her whole body emitting a faint white glow.

Her clothes and hair fluttered despite the absence of wind, and her blue hair floated lightly.

She was comprehending the Dao!?

“See?”

Bai Yue said, “With just one sentence, my disciple gained enlightenment. It’s just that you lack the root of wisdom, so you think this knowledge is useless.”

“This is exactly what ‘the less knowledge, the less knowledge’ means.”

Bai Yue arched her brows, her tone full of pride.

The Apron Boss Lady’s head grew even bigger, but the facts were right in front of her.

Even if she wanted to get angry, she had no reason, so she could only sulk.

“Fine, fine, you’re amazing. You don’t have to pay this time. But don’t talk to me about this ‘knowledge’ anymore. I can’t take it…”

“My knowledge is precious. If your skewers weren’t delicious, I wouldn’t have said a word.”

Bai Yue looked disgusted.

“Truly casting pearls before swine, it’s hard to find a soulmate. Only my disciple understands my Dao.”

As she spoke, she raised her hand and gently stroked Mu Chenxi’s cheek.

But Mu Chenxi didn’t notice at all, still immersed in the words just spoken.

‘Can’t see the future, actually means seeing the future.’

Mu Chenxi pondered the sentence over and over in her heart.

She had experienced her consciousness descending into the future countless times.

This phrase was like a spark, instantly igniting the power hidden within her.

Dao Resonance flowed unconsciously, and she actually touched the third Dao: the Future Dao!

But the Future Dao was a Law-level Great Dao.

With her current cultivation, she couldn’t even glimpse the tip of the iceberg.

Even so, she clearly felt that her understanding of the Way or Method of the Dao had advanced another step.

She could even apply it to her previous insights of the Dao of Ice and Infatuated Sword Dao.

She stood in place, immersed for a long time, until her Soul gradually faded from Bai Yue’s Sea of Consciousness.

Mu Chenxi’s Divine Sense returned to her body.

She opened her eyes, her heart still unable to calm down for a long while.

She hadn’t expected that a seemingly offhand comment from her master would actually allow her to comprehend a trace of the Future Great Dao!

Su Qiuyue beside her had long sensed the strange Dao Resonance fluctuating on her and asked in shock, “Chenxi, did you comprehend another Dao? What Dao is this? I can’t grasp its resonance at all.”

“It’s the Future Great Dao. I realized it in Master’s Sea of Consciousness.”

Mu Chenxi didn’t hide it, directly transmitting a Divine Sense to Su Qiuyue, sharing her experience in the Sea of Consciousness and Bai Yue’s sentence.

After receiving the Divine Sense and seeing Mu Chenxi’s experience, hearing ‘Can’t see the future, actually means seeing the future’, Su Qiuyue also widened her eyes, taking a long time to come back to her senses.

Though she hadn’t personally experienced the descent of consciousness into the future, she could sense the profound logic within the words.

“Master truly is amazing.”

Su Qiuyue muttered.

“She can even understand the Future Dao.”

This made her resolve even firmer.

If Master could comprehend the Dao related to time, she could surely help her return to the past.

“Chenxi, focus on comprehending the Future Dao. I won’t disturb you.”

Su Qiuyue couldn’t help but remind her, “This opportunity for enlightenment must be cherished, especially now when we desperately need to increase our strength. Don’t waste it.”

Mu Chenxi nodded seriously, then closed her eyes again, fully immersing herself in the comprehension of the Future Dao.

She remained that way until dawn, when she finally exhaled a deep breath, the Dao Resonance swirling around her gradually receding.

The first thing she did was look down at Bai Yue in her arms and found that Bai Yue was still asleep.

It seemed that this time, Master had exhausted a huge amount of energy to guide her enlightenment, and still hadn’t awakened.

Mu Chenxi gently picked up Bai Yue and continued traveling on her sword, also sorting out her own strength along the way.

Though she had only touched the tip of the Future Dao, it had greatly deepened her understanding of the Way or Method of the Dao.

She informed Su Qiuyue of her situation, and the two of them reevaluated their combat power based on her current improvement.

The results were exhilarating: tonight, when consciousness descended into the future, there was a real chance they could hold out until Senior Sister Yan Hua arrived to help.

As Mu Chenxi flew on her sword, even the flying sword beneath her feet felt lighter than before.

“Can you still channel the Dao Resonance of the Future? I’d like to borrow it for my own enlightenment—maybe I can find inspiration too.”

Su Qiuyue asked.

“Of course.”

Mu Chenxi immediately channeled a faint thread of Future Dao Resonance to circulate within her body, a subtle silvery-white glow rising from her.

The light was almost invisible in the daytime, but Su Qiuyue could clearly sense the profoundness of the Dao Resonance within her.

She immediately began to comprehend alongside it.

Mu Chenxi didn’t stay idle either, perfecting her own Secret Method as she traveled, full of anticipation that tonight’s plan to buy time would succeed.

Night fell quickly, and Bai Yue finally awakened slowly.

Her pretty face still bore deep fatigue, but when she learned that Mu Chenxi had gained new enlightenment in her Sea of Consciousness, she couldn’t hide her joy.

Hearing that the odds of success for tonight’s delay plan had risen, she perked up, immediately urging Mu Chenxi to prepare for consciousness descent into the future.

Mu Chenxi’s consciousness arrived in the future as scheduled, once again facing the Fire Demon.

After many clashes, she and Su Qiuyue had long since mastered the Fire Demon’s attack patterns and combat strategies.

The two worked together seamlessly.

With their newfound, albeit shallow, understanding of the Future Dao, they could even anticipate the Fire Demon’s next moves, seizing the initiative.

Although the Fire Demon was powerful, it sensed its moves being completely read, becoming increasingly anxious and losing effectiveness.

As the balance shifted, the time they could hold out grew longer.

Soon, the incense stick countdown began.
