"To protect you, your mother and father cannot personally descend here, but can only watch over you silently." Qin Yuechi gently caressed Qin Chen.
As a mother, how could she not care for her child? However, she could only watch quietly, because if she did anything else, it would harm Qin Chen.
"Mother, do you and father have enemies in the cosmic sea?"
Qin Chen's eyes widened. "Father and mother are already so powerful, how strong could their enemies be?"
"Not just enemies."
Qin Yuechi looked at Qin Chen, "Chen'er, it's not that your mother doesn't tell you, but some things you must experience for yourself to truly understand. Don't blame me, Chen'er."
Qin Chen fell silent.
Then, he raised his head and smiled, "Mother, how could I blame you? I know that everything you do is for my own good. Don't worry, I will definitely enter the cosmic sea, and if you really have enemies, I will defeat them for you."
In an instant, an endless fighting spirit ignited within Qin Chen.
The cosmic sea?
It’s nothing to be afraid of; he would definitely become the strongest in this world and reunite the family.
"I'm glad you think that way; this is my Chen'er." Qin Yuechi also smiled. "Your mother stays here, firstly to protect you, and secondly to tell you some things. I thought it would take some time, but unexpectedly, you came so quickly. Your growth is even faster than I imagined."
As she spoke, Qin Yuechi turned to look at the heavenly realm origin.
"This heavenly realm origin is extraordinary. If you want to achieve transcendence, it can indeed provide you with great assistance, but you cannot directly refine it."
"Why is that?" Qin Chen asked, confused. "I heard from Carefree Supreme senior that if one refines this heavenly realm origin, there is a high probability to directly achieve transcendence."
"Carefree Supreme isn't wrong. If you can refine this treasure, your cultivation will soar into the transcendence realm, but your path will stop there." Qin Yuechi said, "On the path of transcendence, you will never be able to reach a higher level."
"Is there another realm above transcendence?" Qin Chen was shocked.
Qin Yuechi smiled, "Transcendence is not merely a realm; it is a path, a path that martial artists walk to find their own way. It is the road every martial artist must ultimately take. To step onto this path is to be considered transcendent, but how far one can go on this path varies for each person."
"And this heavenly realm origin, after all, is fused with the transcendent origins of others. If you completely refine it, although you can control this heavenly realm and achieve transcendence, you are essentially not walking your own path, but rather stepping on a road paved by someone else."
"Perhaps this path might suit you well, but even if it suits you, it is still someone else's. Only by forging your own path can you truly achieve greatness."
At this point, Qin Yuechi looked at Qin Chen, "I see that your body contains various powers; this is very good. Drawing on the strengths of many to pave your own road is the righteous path."
"Right now, among these paths within you, some are strong, some are weak, some are smooth, and some are winding and perilous. What you need to do is not to completely learn from them, but to draw on the strengths of many to build a truly unique path for yourself; that's what you need to do now."
Qin Chen listened on the side, deep in thought.
Building his own path?
Drawing on the strengths of many?
Qin Yuechi continued, "For example, the transcendent origin of the Dark Clan within you. If you refine it completely, you could become transcendent, but then you would only become the weakest transcendent in the cosmic sea. What significance does that have?"
"The one from the Void Sea back then also ended up like this because he took the wrong path. Even if he was born of that clan, he could not turn back. In fact, there is a saying in the mortal realm: whether a person can ultimately reach the finish line has nothing to do with how hard they work, but rather depends on whether they walk the correct path."
