Because the more perfect the Dao Heart,

the further a cultivator can travel on the path of Martial Arts,

just like Sword One of Sword King City, reputed to be capable of achieving Grandmaster status at any moment, but delays the breakthrough to hone his Dao Heart,

the Sword Spirit Qi Baiyu of the Yundong Celestial Sword Alliance is the same,

slaying Grandmasters with Fifth Realm power as easily as slaughtering dogs,

and yet he doesn’t enter the Grandmaster Realm, as it is rumored he nurtures a sword that has yet to mature, his Dao Heart is not yet perfect, so he doesn’t break through. The day the sword is complete will be the day he washes away the mundanity and becomes a Grandmaster!

However, this wasn’t the case for Gu Zhan,

In fact, when he entered the Fifth Realm, he also perceived his own Dao,

at that moment, he stood atop a mountain,

holding a saber, gazing down upon the Human World,

If he followed that Dao, he would probably, like Qi Baiyu, nurture a saber,

that saber would be his Dao,

but he did not nurture a saber,

because he didn’t need to,

Cultivating a Dao Heart is for conviction,

a belief in venturing forward, akin to a Martial Artist cultivating a buff for oneself,

but he already possesses the strongest buff,

his conviction is to be invincible,

if he were to cultivate a so-called Dao Heart, it would be neglecting the essentials for the trivial,

Can any Dao Heart be more enticing than the system?

"Just know your limits," Mo Jingzhou said, "Everyone’s Dao is different, now that you’ve reached this realm, I can’t offer much advice, you already have your own Dao!"

Gu Zhan nodded.

They slowly walked out, all the way to the door, Mo Jingzhou slowly stopped, saying, "Gu Zhan, after you go back, prepare well. Today’s sneak attack by the Demon Dao disrupted Yunxi Martial World’s plans, morale will surely be low, the battle between righteous and demonic forces will definitely be affected, potentially delayed, but, regardless, you must remember my words, stay away from the frontlines when the time comes."

Gu Zhan furrowed his brow slightly, saying, "Dragon King, actually, the necessity of your dealing with the four major forces isn’t that great, with me, Gu Zhan in Beidou Bang, how can we not establish ourselves in the vast world?"

Mo Jingzhou smiled, "I am not just for Beidou Bang. I came out to roam the Martial World in my twenties, for decades, I have always been admired as the Dragon King. If not for lack of foundation, I believe I could achieve Land Immortal status.

I am dragged down by my lack of foundation, I’ve reached the end of my journey, but I’m not content to die ignobly in Canglan City. I established myself in the Martial World with glory, I hope I can exit with glory as well, to sum up my life, dying with no regrets!"

Gu Zhan fell into silence,

If Mo Jingzhou was merely fighting for time for Beidou Bang, he thought it unnecessary, living a few more years is fine,

but since Mo Jingzhou is also doing this for his own life,

he couldn’t persuade him any further.

Because he could understand,

Having lived gloriously all his life, yet to fade away like an ordinary person, leaving the stage quietly is hard to accept for a strong person.

Looking at the hunched, grey-haired Mo Jingzhou,

Gu Zhan felt a tinge of loneliness,

That is the hero in twilight,

he took a deep breath, feeling a bit emotional,

If there comes the day of impending death,

how could he be willing to leave so quietly,

Since time cannot be stopped,

then let history remember me,

Rather than leaving quietly with no one noticing,

it is better to cleave mountains and rivers once again,

at life’s end, let the world know who I am,

know the name of Gu Zhan!
