After conversing with Mo Li and confirming that there would be no issues with the retreat of the Beiming Youdu, the last heavy stone in Lu Yuan's heart was finally put down.
Afterwards, he had several discussions on the Dao with Feishuang Dao Master, and they both benefited greatly from each other's insights on Dao Law.
Normally, in traditional cultivation or fantasy novels, the two should have each had a sudden enlightenment and then experienced a breakthrough with a significant increase in their cultivation level.
Unfortunately.
In the Age of Dharma Decline, there is no spiritual energy from the Immortal Method. Even with many insights and high realm, they could not progress past their current cultivation and stagnate.
This further cemented Mo Li's determination to ascend to the Immortal Realm.
