"Can enticing the wandering souls of slaves be considered an 'experience'? It gave me a great deal of mental training, which changed me as a whole. So it tempered my mind and improved my mastery of spiritual energy."

"And to feign mystery clearly shows a lack of mental fortitude..."

"I only know that the essence of battle qi is to fight with an indomitable spirit. If I knew more about other spiritual energies..."

Wait a minute, the cultivation method of Battle Qi is about combat, and it's related to the name of spiritual energy. What about Dao Qi? Is the cultivation method of Dao Qi also related to its name?

Chen Jing's eyes lit up as he gained some inspiration, so he whispered to Dao Nan and He Lili, who were keeping watch nearby, "I have a question for you."

Seeing their puzzled expressions, Chen Jing asked, "What do you think the Dao is? Or what does it symbolize?"

"Dao?" Dao Nan was a little confused.

“Yes, it’s the ‘Dao’ in your surname,” Chen Jing said.

Dao Nan said, "Only a lofty ideal that transcends one's own life and personal interests can be called the Way."

He Lili thought for a moment and said, "If I had to describe the impression, it would be something mysterious, indescribable, enigmatic, and profound?"

“The earliest concept of Dao appeared in the pre-Qin era,” He Lili said. “There are generally three understandings, which vary depending on the context. For example, the Dao that cultivators refer to as the Dao path refers to the original source that formed all things in the universe, which points to the essence of spiritual energy. Different sects and schools have their own different interpretations.”

"In the second understanding, the Tao is the law and essence of the changes of all things in the universe. That is, it is the law that governs the changes of all things and the essence of the changes of all things. It can be said that the Tao is quite simple, but because it is hidden in all things, the phenomena obscure the essence and confuse others, so it is difficult to understand and is easily overlooked."

"The last one is what Dao Nan said. Dao is a lofty social concept, a lofty code of conduct that guides people's behavior and makes it harmonious, beautiful and happy."

Chen Jing nodded. He felt like he had grasped something again, but he still couldn't say what it was.

"Thanks."

After saying that, Chen Jing continued to think: "Pretending to be mysterious and confusing others... Hmm, this seems to conform to the characteristics of 'Tao' and also to the feedback from my previous practice."

"Hmm, improving cultivation by tempering one's mind and feigning mystery to confuse others... I can try this first and see how it goes later." Chen Jing thought to himself, then focused on becoming vigilant.

After a while, Zhang Taoying woke up, and He Lili also went to meditate and rest. Once Li Si and He Lili had recovered their spiritual power, Li Aidan also woke up. After her injuries were healed by the Golden Turtle Sea-Diving Pill, another exploration was about to begin.
