The Amazing son in law Chapter 7968

Lin Wan’er (Alani), well-versed in the I Ching and the Eight Trigrams, exclaimed in surprise after observing the eight halos representing the eight directions: Kan, Gen, Zhen, Xun, Li, Kun, Dui, and Qian

. “These eight halos in different directions must be the teleportation arrays to various parts of the world, right?” charlie wade nodded, pointing to the central halo and saying to Lin Wan’er (Alani), “There are nine teleportation arrays in total. Only the central one is in China. If we want to return to Jinling, we must first use this teleportation array to reach China and then figure out how to get there.” Lin

Wan’er asked him, “Does Young Master know where in China this teleportation array goes?”

charlie wade replied, “Western Sichuan, Heming Mountain.”

Wan’er nodded in sudden realization and exclaimed, “Crane Cry Mountain makes perfect sense. It’s the birthplace of Taoism and must be a sacred place for cultivators. Perhaps these cultivators from before the Dharma-ending Age attained enlightenment and entered the Tao in Crane Cry Mountain.”

charlie wade nodded, his brows furrowing slightly, and said, “There’s just one thing I don’t quite understand.”

Lin Wan’er (Alani) looked at him and said, “Please speak, young master. I’ll see if I can answer your question.”

charlie wade took her hand and led her to the central circle of light, saying earnestly, “Let’s talk as we walk.”

The next moment, the two appeared in the special cave within Crane Cry Mountain.Having already demonstrated composure during the previous two teleportations, Lin Wan’er (Alani) was now largely unfazed. charlie wade, holding her hand, led her skillfully out of the cave.

As they walked, charlie wade voiced his concerns: “Miss Lin, I’ve researched some history. The Daoist sect originated around 140 AD, meaning it’s less than two thousand years old. If what we now call the Daoist sect is the ancestor of all cultivation, then the entire history of cultivation is only a little over a thousand years, less than two thousand. Furthermore, based on Meng Changsheng’s life story, we can roughly determine that by 664 AD, when Meng Changsheng was born, the world had already entered the Dharma-ending Age. This means that from the beginning of cultivation to the arrival of the Dharma-ending Age…” “It’s only a short five hundred years, but Meng Changsheng has lived for a thousand years. For many high-level cultivators, their lifespan is probably even longer. How could this short five-hundred-year timeline possibly accommodate the cultivation and inheritance of several generations of cultivators?”

Lin Wan’er (Alani) listened to charlie wade’s doubts, pondered for a moment, and asked charlie wade a question: “Young Master, the history of human civilization is only a short 5,000 years. Do you think a 5,000-year timeline can accommodate the development of the path of cultivation?”

charlie wade thought for a moment and said seriously, “In my opinion…” Our current understanding of cultivation is probably only the tip of the iceberg. That’s why I always feel that the history of cultivation must have taken an extremely long time to evolve. Even if we estimated 500 years, let alone 5000 years, it still wouldn’t be enough for cultivation to go through its birth, rise, flourishing, decline, and the end of the Dharma era—a process spanning several epochs. If we consider it within the context of Earth’s history, an epoch would probably take tens of millions of years.”

Lin Wan’er (Alani) smiled and nodded, saying, “Modern human civilizations, under Earth’s natural environment, can probably only sustain themselves for a few hundred thousand years. After that, all traces of human construction will likely vanish. Therefore, in Earth’s billions of years of history, if a civilization primarily focused on cultivation truly existed, even with great supernatural powers, the traces they could leave behind after the passage of time would be negligible.”

At this point, the two had already reached the cave entrance hand in hand. Lin Wan’er (Alani) turned back to look at the completely unmarked rocks, marveling at the miraculous magic, and suddenly gaining some insight.

As Lin Wan’er (Alani) admired the long-lost, lush beauty of the mountains, she suddenly realized and said to charlie wade, “I understand! Although the manifestations left behind by great supernatural powers are minuscule, they are not nonexistent. There must still be some supernatural powers that have been preserved, just like the underground city we just visited. Therefore, I deduce that the reason why Crane Cry Mountain is the birthplace of Taoism is that, very long ago, there were cultivators active here. In other words, Taoism was not the originator of the path of cultivation, but rather a legacy left behind by the path of cultivation. It wasn’t until two thousand years ago that the founder of Taoism was inspired by the miracles left behind by these cultivators, and then established Taoism!”

charlie wade exclaimed with a look of sudden realization, “So my initial line of thinking was wrong! This question is not about which came first, the chicken or the egg, but about where the chicken came from and who its ancestors were! If I remember correctly, the ancestor of the chicken was a dinosaur!”
