"Go and take your little bottle with you first, then leave the Seven Mysteries Sect."

Ye Chen stood with his hands behind his back, gazing into the distance, his gray robe billowing slightly in the mountain breeze.

"The Seven Mysteries Gate is too small to contain you. Jingzhou is too small, and Yue Kingdom is too small."

He turned around, looked into Han Li's eyes, and said earnestly:

"Your path leads to the stars and the sea."

Han Li didn't quite understand the weight of those words.

But looking at the young-looking "father" in front of him, who exuded an aura of absolute authority, he felt a surge of emotions he had never experienced before.

It's a sense of security that comes from being protected.

He had never experienced this feeling since he was sent to the Seven Mysteries Sect.

"it is good."

Han Li nodded.

Ye Chen nodded in satisfaction.

Immediately, he glanced at Doctor Mo, who was lying on the ground unable to move.

After thinking for a moment, he bent down and searched the other person's body, then casually stuffed the storage bag and some bottles and jars into his pocket.

Dr. Mo closed his eyes in pain.

His meticulously planned possession scheme, which he had meticulously crafted over decades, was utterly crushed by a suddenly appearing "biological father."

No, Han Li, if your father is so powerful, why did he send you to the Seven Mysteries Sect?

You should have told me sooner that you had such a powerful father!

Doctor Mo and Yu Zitong inside his body died with resentment, their eyes wide open in death.

Ye Chen led Han Li out of the pavilion, the moonlight shining on the father and son.

Han Li suddenly asked, "Father, how strong are you now?"

Ye Chen thought for a moment and gave a vague answer:

"There are very few people in this country who can kill me."

This is the truth.

A cultivator from the Other Shore with seven times the combat power would be considered a force to be reckoned with in the cultivation world of a small place like Yue Kingdom.

"What about outside?" Han Li pressed.

"Outside..."

Ye Chen couldn't help but sigh as he recalled the situations in the human realm, the spirit realm, and the immortal realm.

"Your dad is a younger brother for now."

But it's okay.

I have you all.

He glanced at Han Li beside him and thought of Ye Fan, who was in another universe.

One son is Ye Tiandi, and the other son is Han Daozu.

With a son like this, even if he were the father's younger brother, he would be the most glamorous younger brother in the world. Besides, his strength doesn't allow him to keep a low profile!

"Let's go find your little green bottle. And then..."

Ye Chen paused, his tone becoming serious:

"Dad will teach you how to cultivate immortality."

Seeing that Han Li wasn't looking for the little green bottle and was eager to start cultivating immortality, Ye Chen slowly said, "I'll first teach you the Dao Scripture..."

Although people in the mortal world do not have the seeds of secret realms and cannot cultivate the Heaven-Covering Technique, it does not prevent Han Li from learning the Dao Scriptures, as the principles contained in the Dao Scriptures are universal.

"The Tao that can be spoken of is not the eternal Tao; the name that can be named is not the eternal name. Nameless, it is the origin of heaven and earth; named, it is the mother of all things... Profound and mysterious, the gateway to all wonders..."

Ye Chen recited all the Daoist scriptures he had learned, but Han Li frowned, as if listening to a foreign language, unable to grasp much of the meaning. So Ye Chen smiled and said:

"The Daoist scriptures were created by the Daoist Ancestor. You have a connection with the Daoist Ancestor. This scripture will be very beneficial to your cultivation. You should study it carefully."

"Huh? Me?"

Han Li was taken aback, his dark face showing some embarrassment. He pointed at himself with an incredulous expression. He was an ordinary person, how could he have any connection with any Dao Ancestor?

"Li'er, don't be in a hurry, let your father explain in detail."

Ye Chen sat cross-legged on the futon and slowly said:

"You were born in Qingniu Town. Why Qingniu? Because the Dao Ancestor rode a green ox out of the pass and wrote down the Daoist scriptures."

After that, the sect you joined was called the Seven Mysteries Sect. This name was not chosen casually. As the Book of Changes says, "Repeat the way, and it will return in seven days."

The development of things often takes a turn around the number seven, which aligns with the Taoist principle of cyclical recurrence.

In the first chapter of the Taoist scriptures, it says, "Mysterious beyond mystery, the gate to all wonders." This is the mystery, hence the name "Mysterious Gate."

Entering the Seven Mysteries Gate is like stepping into the first chapter of the Tao Te Ching, the beginning of your cultivation journey, the starting point of "The Tao gives birth to One," symbolizing your transformation from a mortal to a cultivator.

Han Li was completely taken aback by their deception.

Could it be that I am truly destined to be connected with the Dao Ancestor?

"Father, but I failed to climb the Bone Refining Cliff and was unable to join the Seven Mysteries Sect."

Han Li was puzzled.

"That's right, you failed to climb the Bone Refining Cliff within the time limit, but it was this failure that allowed you to avoid the fierce competition and be exceptionally selected by Doctor Mo to formally come into contact with the cultivation techniques."

This is the principle of reversal, the movement of the Tao. When things get really bad, they will turn for the better. Bad things often hide a turning point.

The Tao Te Ching says: "When the Tao is lost, virtue is lost; when virtue is lost, benevolence is lost."

When the world is fundamentally corrupt, people deliberately flaunt benevolence and righteousness, using the name "benevolence" to conceal their true intentions, while secretly plotting to seize your body. They use empty names to disguise their evil intentions.

This confirms the principle that "the name that can be named is not the eternal name," and that appearances and titles are not equivalent to essence.

Mo Juren imparted all his medical skills, longevity techniques, and rare medicinal herbs to you, sparing no expense to gain your trust, but his real purpose was to seize your body once you had mastered the techniques.

This is precisely the principle of "If you want to take something, you must first give it" as stated in the Taoist scriptures.

But Mo Juren calculated everything except one thing: your personality of not standing out, not being aggressive, being steady and cautious, and going with the flow.

The little green bottle was well hidden, which was in line with the Taoist principle of "softness and concealment of clumsiness", and ultimately broke Mo Juren's entire plan.

Even without your father's intervention, you could still kill Doctor Mo!

...Am I really that wise?

Was this me, my father? Didn't he always complain that I was stupid and gave me the nickname "Silly Boy"? Han Li was surprised and fell into deep thought.

Seeing this, Ye Chen smiled slightly.

"Han Li, the Seven Mysteries Sect is the starting point of your Dao, from mortal to cultivator, from passively seeking survival to actively seeking the Dao."

From the universal recognition of beauty to the unwavering adherence to virtue, one returns to the pure, childlike heart that yearns for the Way.

True strength lies not in flaunting one's power, but in the enduring resilience of gentleness overcoming strength; true opportunity often lies in the reversal of fortune, in the act of contracting before expanding.

Ye Chen's voice paused, then became low and deep:

"Throughout my life, I have never explained my actions to others. Life is short, and we all return to dust. Immortals can roam the heavens and earth, while mortals can only be frogs at the bottom of a well."

Han Li, there are so many beautiful sights in this world, come and see them with your father.

Han Li choked up and said, "It's... Father."

As he spoke, he quickly walked to a tree and slowly dug out the small green bottle.

"Goodness, I finally got the little green bottle out. It wasn't for nothing that I spent so much time talking to it..." Ye Chen thought to himself.

There are never wrong nicknames, only wrong names. My son is truly worthy of the nickname "Old Devil Han," he's far too cautious!

He didn't even fully trust his own father. It took a heart-to-heart talk between father and son before he finally took out the little green bottle.

However, at least it was a success.

The barren human world is truly a waste of the Xuan Tian treasure, the Little Green Bottle. Only by taking the Little Green Bottle to the world of Shrouding the Heavens can it be put to its full use!
