“Elder Ning, which level does Lang Yilang always come to?” Chu Yang asked, his eyes shining brightly.
“Fourth level... Why are you asking this?” Ning Tianya replied, surprised as he finished answering.
“So it’s the fourth level...” Chu Yang chuckled: “Which direction does he come from each time? Which direction does he seclude himself in?”
Ning Tianya rolled his eyes: “How would I know that?”
Chu Yang was taken aback.
Ning Tianya continued: “This is the fifth great secret of Pagoda Mountain. Once anyone reaches the third or fourth level, the paths taken by each person are essentially unique and will not repeat. This means that everyone has their own encounters. It’s difficult for others to find the paths taken by others; there might be some overlapping, but there will definitely be a majority of paths that are different!”
“So this mountain is also referred to as the: path of life by a small circle of people! Because every person’s path is different, and Pagoda Mountain embodies this.”
Chu Yang’s heart trembled again.
The path of life.
Indeed.
The path of life, every person's life path is different. Perhaps there is a segment that many people will repeat, but once they have walked past that segment, everything becomes entirely different!
Throughout history, there has never been any two people whose life paths were completely the same!
Is Pagoda Mountain indicating something? Suggesting something?
The more Chu Yang thought, the more he felt that this mountain was, in fact, life itself!
Many people walk it, but each person walks a different road.
Absolutely no repetitions!
Some people get lost, and even if they are supreme, they can only die in their confusion!
On the path of life, how many people have gotten lost? How many people spend their entire lives unable to find the road they want to walk, the road they should walk?
It truly is far too many.
Thinking of this, Chu Yang sighed: “Surely, those who can come to this mountain are all experts.”
“Of course,” Ning Tianya replied.
“Then, among these people, many must have perished here, and those who can leave safely are few, right?” Chu Yang asked again.
“Not necessarily,” Ning Tianya said: “There are indeed quite a few who die here; however, more people leave alive.”
“Oh?” Chu Yang inquired: “Could it be that so many people have found their own path?”
Ning Tianya showed a bitter smile: “No one has ever passed through this mountain without obstacles throughout history. Many people manage to exit because they become disoriented upon entering and then lose their way. However, while they are muddled, they find their way out, just like that…”
“They don’t know how to walk in when they enter, but they also don’t know how to exit when they leave. Everything is hazy, and they are not in control... Such people account for the vast majority.”
Ning Tianya said with a bitter smile.
Chu Yang couldn’t help but laugh bitterly.
This is indeed interesting. However, there are really many such people in the world: spending their lives in confusion, unable to find their own path; wandering east and west, and ultimately losing all sense of direction, resigning to fate... and thus walking to the end of their lives…
“The ones who truly die within are those with a firm belief in their life path, individuals who possess a tenacity to not give up until they reach their goal. So they climb persistently, moving towards their target, but they are too obsessed, focusing solely on progressing while neglecting everything else, and by the time they realize they truly cannot ascend any further, they find there’s no way to retreat.”
“Because they never left themselves a way back!”
“Those who can clearly ascend and descend on this mountain throughout history are few and far between. Moreover, these individuals are either exceptionally intelligent or very content.”
“Like Ye Zui, who every time he comes for seclusion, does so in the same place. After tasting the hardship the first time, he never goes to other places. After three years, he leaves the same way he came. The people who achieve success on this mountain are all of this kind.”
