She felt as if her meridians were about to burst from this violent force, and excruciating pain shot through every part of her body. However, she gritted her teeth, enduring the agony, with only one thought in her mind: What, then, is the meaning of life?

The external environment grew increasingly harsh; dark clouds filled the sky, accompanied by flashes of lightning and thunder. Thick streaks of lightning tore through the sky, seemingly cleaving the forest in two. The deafening thunder seemed to exert immense pressure on Tang Yue. Yet, Tang Yue appeared oblivious to the danger, remaining immersed in her own inner world.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Tang Yue. Life is boundless love.

Tang Yue thought of Fei Bing, who demonstrated the meaning of life through his actions—the value of life is not measured by the length of life or the strength of an individual.

The true meaning of life lies in having a selfless heart, being able to give everything, even one's own life, without reservation for those one cherishes, for justice and beliefs.

Even in dire straits, the Chinese people enslaved in the underground mines of Japan still harbored a longing to return home. They persevered in their survival with this belief because they knew that they had an irreplaceable significance to their hometown and their loved ones. This longing sustained their lives.

The men in black, controlled by drugs in the germ lab, fought desperately against the effects of the drugs, hoping to find a glimmer of hope to survive and return to their homeland during their brief moments of lucidity. Their actions demonstrated that the meaning of life lies in the unyielding struggle for the place and ideals in one's heart.

Tang Yue finally realized that the meaning of life lies in lending a helping hand and giving hope to others in distress; in standing up to defend justice when faced with injustice and evil; and in closely linking one's personal destiny with that of one's family, country, and the happiness of more people, using one's own strength to add warmth and light to this world.

At that moment, Tang Yue's confusion vanished instantly.

A relieved smile appeared on her face, and her spiritual energy underwent a dramatic transformation in that instant. The previously turbulent spiritual energy became docile, as if it had found its home, flowing orderly through her meridians. Her cultivation level began to rise rapidly, advancing from the early Nascent Soul stage to the mid-Nascent Soul stage.

As her cultivation level increased, a faint golden light appeared around Tang Yue's body. The light grew brighter and brighter, illuminating the entire mountain forest. Under this light, the surrounding trees and flowers radiated vitality, as if they had been infused with a powerful life force.

Tang Yue hovered in the air, quietly feeling the baptism of this power. Her hair danced wildly in the wind, and her clothes fluttered, making her look like a fairy descended to earth.

Tang Yue tried her best to suppress the rapidly increasing spiritual energy within her body.
