Chapter 1925: Teacher Bai Mu Yingli, Do You Have Any Resources

Su Xiao: "Eh!"

Xiao Mai: "Besties, one blanket!"

Dong Tianbao: "What's a bestie?"

Yotsuya Miko: "It means good friend."

Dong Tianbao: "I and Junbao are definitely besties."

Zhang Junbao: "!!!"

Zhang Sanfeng: "?"

Dong Tianbao: "Is there something wrong with this word?"

Zhang Junbao: "This term? 'Bestie' actually means dragon yang affection!"

Dong Tianbao: "I don't have dragon yang affection! Junbao and I are pure and clean—just good brothers. How did this get dragged into something like that?"

Su Xiao: "Hehe, it's fine. Even if you really were, no one would mock you."

Xiao Mai: "Exactly! We won't discriminate against you!"

Dong Tianbao: "..."

Zhang Sanfeng: "Tianbao, don't listen to them—they're just here for entertainment. Go tend to your own world. Arguing with them will get you nowhere, even if you argue for a year or two."

Zhang Junbao: "Yes."

Dong Tianbao: "Don't the two Celestials mind? Junbao won't go to the Profound Heaven Realm for now."

Zhang Sanfeng: "Why should we mind? If it's his own choice, let him be. We cultivate the Dao to achieve immortality and boundless freedom. If we try to control everything he does, that's not forming a bond—it's creating enmity."

Zhang Junbao: "Yes, as long as he's happy. As for our plans, he needn't dwell on them."

Dong Tianbao: "I understand. Thank you, both Celestials, for your guidance."

At that moment, he understood, and his heart cleared suddenly.

These two elders' words weren't just for Zhang Junbao—they were also for him.

Fame and fortune are not the goal, only the ladder; the self alone is most important.

This is the true path of cultivation—the path to seeking one's true self.

If one is bound by fame and profit, lost to the original heart, and ultimately sinks into the mortal world, that is the worst fate.

In the past, Dong Tianbao would naturally have scoffed at such things.

After all, when you can't even afford food, telling me about my true self or dreams is pointless.

He'd only think you're talking from a position of comfort.

Now, however, it's different.

He pretended to be divine, seized control of all Fomen, and allied with Zhang Junbao to claim all of Central Plains.

In the future, he might even unify the entire world.

Now, he stands atop the world's peak—he has both fame and fortune.

At this point, he truly ought to consider his future, consider this matter of true self.

Zhang Sanfeng: "Young friend, your talent is truly remarkable."

Zhang Junbao: "With such insight, your future will surely be extraordinary."

Su Xiao: "I didn't expect you to have such high insight, Tianbao?"

Zhang Taixuan: "Could it be—that someone lacking talent and insight simply can't become a great villain?"

Hu Yifei: "Exactly. Generally, villains in stories aren't weak in talent or insight—they're often stronger than the protagonist. Many protagonists only win because of fate, gaining countless miraculous encounters."

Ling Zun: "I've read many stories and noticed that many protagonists grow strong purely through dumb luck, while villains rely entirely on themselves—it feels like the protagonist is the real villain."

Bai Zhi: "Hehe, that's normal. The protagonist is the author's favorite child—the author gives him cheats."

Dong Tianbao: "Your Excellencies flatter me too much."

Though he said this, Dong Tianbao felt deeply pleased inside.

The conversation ended; he returned to reality.

He felt a heavy gloom in his chest dissolve, and his mind grew far clearer.

【Ding, you have spread the Profound Heaven Immortal Martial Dao, revering Profound Heaven, and received a world reward—you have become one of the World's Chosen. Your destiny has increased.】
