Longevity: Start From The Entry Of Luck

Amidst the discussions of the crowd, the Heavenly Origin Holy Lord looked at Jiang Yuan with a complex expression in his eyes, then he spoke, "Did Fellow Daoist Jiang Yuan just speak the truth?"

Jiang Yuan replied, "Naturally, it is true. The Holy Lord lent me the Void Dao Scripture for a month, and the cause and effect between me and the Heavenly Origin Holy Land have been resolved."

"Good!" nodded the Heavenly Origin Holy Lord.

Then, they fell into silence.

Boom...

Broad Great Daos were extracted from within Jiang Yuan, returning to the depths of the void.

With the departure of those Great Daos, Jiang Yuan suddenly felt as if he had fallen from the clouds into the dust.

The power he could exert now was completely different from before.

"Dao Integration state, indeed powerful," Jiang Yuan secretly said.

As he watched Jiang Yuan fall from the Dao Integration state, the Heavenly Origin Holy Lord felt countless emotions in his heart.

Nine levels of the Grotto-Heaven Realm, merging with seven Great Daos.

The so-called ants beneath the Saints, Jiang Yuan had broken this saying. His aura just now was enough to easily rival an ordinary Saint.

In addition to the blessing of the seven Great Daos, there were also several Great Daos with extremely high mastery mixed in, causing those Great Daos to be so broad and magnificent.

Under this blessing, even he didn't know how strong Jiang Yuan's power could erupt.

But he knew that if the five Great Daos of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth were included, Jiang Yuan already possessed all the elements to step into the nine levels of the Saint Realm.

Becoming a Saint was a matter of course.

It probably wouldn't be long before he heard news of Jiang Yuan obtaining the Saint Dao Fruit.

However, he estimated that Jiang Yuan probably wouldn't choose the five Great Daos of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth as the foundation.

Compared to other Great Daos, these five Great Daos were not powerful and could only be considered Low Grade Great Daos.

Only the Five Elements Great Dao formed after the fusion of the five elements was a higher level Great Dao.

But even so, with Jiang Yuan's current conditions, once he obtained the Saint Dao Fruit, he would probably be able to quickly step into the nine levels of the Saint Realm.

Judging from his current performance, reaching the pinnacle of the Human Realm would not be a difficult task.

After all, his cultivation time was too short, achieving such cultivation in just a few years.

The most crucial point was his terrifying mastery of the Great Dao!

Stepping into the nine levels of the Saint Realm and reaching the pinnacle of the Human Realm was only a matter of course.

This was undoubtedly a supremely powerful individual about to ascend to the pinnacle.

Once he reached the pinnacle, it was highly possible for him to stand shoulder to shoulder with True Immortals!

Thinking of this, the Heavenly Origin Holy Lord had no other thoughts in his mind.

It was unnecessary to provoke such a figure who could dominate an era and had the potential to surpass all others.

"The Void Dao Scripture was only lent out for a month, not given away!" he comforted himself in his heart.

Just then, a woman dressed in a plain white dress appeared beside the Heavenly Origin Holy Lord.

"Holy Lord, the Void Dao Scripture has been obtained!" the woman said.

This woman appeared to be around forty years old, but she exuded an air of nobility, clearly someone who had long held a high position.

Her figure was also exceptionally exaggerated, with grandeur and magnificence, yet her waist was slender and graceful.

Jiang Yuan's gaze was also involuntarily drawn to this woman and he took a closer look.

The Heavenly Origin Holy Lord held a seemingly ordinary ancient book in his hand, stepped on empty space, and slowly approached Jiang Yuan.

"This is the Void Dao Scripture. I hope you can abide by the agreement."

At the same time, the people in the Heavenly Origin Holy Land below watched this scene unfold.

For cultivators, this distance was nothing. They could clearly see the events happening here and hear the conversations of a few people.

"What a shame! Our esteemed Sacred Land was actually forced by a young genius to hand over the Sacred Land's treasured Void Dao Scripture."

"How strong is Jiang Yuan exactly? He actually made the Holy Lord change his attitude like this and handed over the Void Dao Scripture in front of everyone!"

"What's so shameful about it! Haven't you felt Jiang Yuan's pressure? Even the Second Elder doesn't feel as terrifying as Jiang Yuan! To reach this level at such a young age, he is truly a young Supreme!"

"Yes! A true young Supreme!" someone murmured, their tone filled with deep admiration.

In mid-air, Jiang Yuan received this seemingly ordinary ancient book.

"Holy Lord, please rest assured, I will return here in a month! As for the cause and effect between me and the Heavenly Origin Holy Land, it will be resolved."

"Good!" The Heavenly Origin Holy Lord nodded slightly.

At this moment, Du Gu Bo chuckled, "Old friend, since this matter is settled, I will take my leave with Jiang Yuan!"

"Take care!" The Heavenly Origin Holy Lord's tone was calm.

He had an expression on his face that showed neither joy nor sorrow, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Jiang Yuan cupped his hands, "Farewell! I will return to this place in a month!"

As soon as his voice fell, Jiang Yuan took a step forward and disappeared in front of the Heavenly Origin Holy Lord in an instant.

Du Gu Bo also disappeared along with him.

Watching the fluctuations caused by the two's disappearance, the Heavenly Origin Holy Lord sighed lightly.

"Indeed, he has a higher level of spatial control than me."

Upon hearing this, the Second Elder behind the Heavenly Origin Holy Lord spoke up.

"Holy Lord, you have already mastered fifty percent of spatial control. Is Jiang Yuan really surpassing you?"

The Heavenly Origin Holy Lord stood with his hands behind his back.

"He is surpassing me! I have mastered fifty and a half percent of the Great Dao of Space. In this world, there are only a handful of people who can compare to me, and Jiang Yuan is far superior to me!"

Upon hearing these words, the Second Elder's pupils suddenly contracted.

"Far superior to the Holy Lord?"

"Yes!" The Heavenly Origin Holy Lord turned to look at him and nodded slightly. "Jiang Yuan is probably as high as seven floors!"

Upon hearing this, the Second Elder's face turned pale. "Seven floors?"

He fully understood what the Holy Lord meant.

Being as high as seven floors meant that Jiang Yuan's mastery of the Great Dao of Space was over seventy percent.

As far as he knew, there were very few people in this world who could compare to this level, probably only two or three.

One of them was the Saint Emperor who had just arrived, and the other was the Monster Emperor of the Southern Ridge.

As for whether there were others, he was not very familiar with them and did not know.

From this, it could be seen how high the level of mastery of the Great Dao of Space at seventy percent was.

The Heavenly Origin Holy Lord nodded slightly again, then made a "hmm" sound to indicate his confirmation.

At this moment, Lin Susu spoke slowly.

"Holy Lord, this matter was caused by the Chu family and Shen Lang. How should we deal with them?"

The Heavenly Origin Holy Lord waved his hand slightly.

"Deal with all of them! Since we have lowered our heads, let's be straightforward. There's no need to have any grievances with Jiang Yuan over such trivial matters!"

"Jiang Yuan has reached this stage, and what shocks me the most is his age!"

"This age represents unlimited possibilities for his future!"

"At the same time, he has mastered the Great Dao above the seventh floor. Who could have killed him back then?"

"And Dugu Bo protected him. It is without a doubt that Jiang Yuan will grow up!"

Upon hearing these words from the Heavenly Origin Holy Lord, Lin Susu nodded calmly.

"Then, according to the Holy Lord's wishes, I will personally handle this matter!"

"Alright!" The Heavenly Origin Holy Lord nodded again.

He then stood with his hands behind his back, silently looking at the sky, without saying a word.

Seeing this scene, the two elders dared not speak.

They also knew that the Heavenly Origin Holy Lord's heart must be restless at this moment.

To reach this stage, to bow down to a young and inexperienced person, how could one's heart be calm?

But at this point, bowing down was the most correct choice.

It was not worth it to create cause and effect with such a legendary genius over such a small matter.

That would be a wrong decision and could potentially sow the seeds of disaster for the decline of the Heavenly Origin Holy Land.

In the face of such an important decision, one could not act recklessly.

The Holy Institute.

In just a moment, the two of them returned from the Heavenly Origin Holy Land to the Holy Institute, which was millions of miles away.

Even though the Holy Institute was separated by millions of miles from the Heavenly Origin Holy Land, it was still within the territory of the Heavenly Origin Holy Land.

One Sacred Land, with an extremely vast territory, especially the Heavenly Origin Holy Land.

When Jiang Yuan escaped from the Heavenly Origin Holy Land, it took him half a month.

This was a Transcendent Level power with a territory spanning thirty million miles, affecting countless beings.

Countless beings were at the mercy of the Heavenly Origin Holy Land.

Dugu Bo looked at Jiang Yuan and nodded, "Not bad! It went smoothly!"

Jiang Yuan also smiled, "It's all thanks to the Dean's presence. If it weren't for the Dean sitting behind me, I'm afraid the Heavenly Origin Holy Lord would have slapped me away with a single palm. How could he tolerate me spouting nonsense there?"

Dugu Bo shook his head slightly.

"Although my presence behind you had some effect, the fact that my old friend was able to hand over the Void Dao Scripture was because of your performance just now."

"With all seven Great Dao appearing at once, I estimate that it scared my old friend."

"After seeing that situation, I also saw a complete change in my old friend's eyes. I think he has also come to a realization!"

At this point, Dugu Bo burst into laughter.

Jiang Yuan smiled as well.

He then picked up the Void Dao Scripture in his hand and carefully examined it.

On its surface, it was blue-purple in color, and the texture of the scripture was rough.

Jiang Yuan then curiously opened the first page of the Void Dao Scripture.

In an instant, his eyes fell upon two golden pages, covered with densely packed silver runic inscriptions.

[You have observed the Void Dao Scripture and gained some insights. Your progress has increased from 76.89% to 76.90%.]

[You observed the Void Dao Scripture and gained some insights. Your progress has increased from 76.90% to 76.91%.]

[You observed the Void Dao Scripture and gained some insights. Your progress has increased from 76.91% to 76.92%.]

[.]

Upon seeing this, Jiang Yuan became immersed in it.

After half an incense stick's worth of time, Jiang Yuan finished reading this page and slowly withdrew his gaze.

He then closed his eyes slightly and closed the Void Dao Scripture.

After a few breaths, Jiang Yuan slowly opened his eyes.

"How was it?" Dugu Bo quickly asked.

Jiang Yuan instantly opened his own panel and took a look.

[Great Dao]: Space Great Dao (77.11%).

After looking at his own panel, Jiang Yuan closed it and nodded slightly.

"The gains are quite good! The Void Dao Scripture is indeed well-deserved of its reputation. It is definitely worth observing!"

"It won't be long before I estimate that I can reach a higher level!"

Upon hearing Jiang Yuan's words, Dugu Bo felt inexplicably emotional.

Reaching a higher level means reaching an understanding of the Space Great Dao at eighty percent, which is enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with himself.

Jiang Yuan's achievements in the Space Great Dao will soon catch up to his own, which made him feel a bit uncomfortable and uneasy.

Immediately, he sighed softly and said to Jiang Yuan, "Since that's the case, find a place to observe the Void Dao Scripture on your own. I need to adjust my state for a few days to prepare for opening the Lingtai Secret Realm."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan's eyes brightened.

"Dean, please be sure to notify me when you open the Lingtai Secret Realm!"

Dugu Bo nodded, "Naturally! Don't go too far these days. Once I've adjusted my state, I will notify you to come and observe the opening of my Lingtai Secret Realm."

Saying this, Dugu Bo's slightly low mood instantly lifted, and his expression became somewhat excited.

"Whether I can succeed or not depends on this gamble!"

Jiang Yuan nodded and said, "With the Dean's accumulation, there shouldn't be a problem!"

"I hope so!" Dugu Bo clenched his fist secretly.

After a moment.

Jiang Yuan returned to the rooftop of the dormitory building.

Looking at the gradually bustling atmosphere of the Holy Academy, he slowly smiled.

"Wait for me to climb to the top, pacify everything, and fulfill the Dean's wish, making the Holy Academy the greatest place for preaching and teaching in this world."

He muttered to himself in his heart.

Then he took out the Void Dao Scripture again.

The next moment.

He reopened the first page and read it from the beginning.

In an instant, Jiang Yuan's mind was enlightened, as if a sudden realization had struck him. The previously unclear and confusing parts suddenly became clear, and his understanding of space became more comprehensive and profound.

[You observed the Void Dao Scripture and gained some insights. Your progress has increased from 77.11% to 77.12%.]

[You observed the Void Dao Scripture and gained some insights. Your progress has increased from 77.12% to 77.13%.]

[You observed the Void Dao Scripture and gained some insights. Your progress has increased from 77.13% to 77.14%.]

[.]

This time, Jiang Yuan's speed of flipping through the pages was slower.

After a long time, Jiang Yuan finally turned to the next page.

The Golden Crow falls to the west, the Jade Rabbit rises to the east.

The sun rises and the moon sets, in the blink of an eye, a day has passed.

Jiang Yuan has now reached the last page.

At this moment, his eyes became extremely deep, and the Dual Pupils appeared. Within the Dual Pupils, a shocking sword light flashed.

With a flash of the sword light, the scene of Opening Heaven and creating the earth appeared.

Chaos was pushed away by this sword, and countless Great Dao rules and illusions emerged, with clear qi rising and turbid qi sinking.

After a long time.

"With the Spatial Great Dao as the foundation, to open an internal world, this Qinling Supreme is truly worthy of achieving such a feat, his ambition is unexpectedly high!"

Jiang Yuan murmured in amazement.

His gaze slowly retracted from the Spatial Great Dao scripture, then he looked at his own panel.

[Great Dao]: Spatial Great Dao [80.86%].

"It's getting harder and harder, especially towards the end. For every one percent increase in mastery, the rate of progress decreases exponentially."

"Even with the assistance of the Spatial Great Dao scripture, it took me about a day to increase my mastery of the Spatial Great Dao by just over three percentage points."

"It's still far from reaching half of the improvement."

"If it weren't for the assistance of the Spatial Great Dao scripture, this rate of progress would undoubtedly be even slower."

Jiang Yuan thought to himself.

Then he looked down at his panel.

[Luck Power]: 87466 strands.

Accumulating one hundred thousand strands is still too slow.

Without harvesting the Innate luck of the various saints, it is almost as difficult as reaching the sky to gather one hundred thousand strands in a short time.

Now there is no good way to harvest the remaining more than ten thousand strands of luck power.

The next big harvest should be when I become a saint outside the domain.

And then there's my new saint banquet!

Jiang Yuan's gaze shifted again, looking at another column on the panel.

[Cultivation Techniques]: Sword Opening Heaven (Great Completion), Myriad Tribulations Indestructible True Body (Sixth Level, 23.78%), Void Giant Palm (Above Perfection), Primordial Spirit Sword (Second Level), True Dragon Treasure Technique (Above Perfection).

Is this considered Great Completion?

It's quite simple!

But it's not surprising given my comprehension.

Jiang Yuan smiled slowly.

Then he had a thought.

Luck Power +100.

After completing today's harvest, Jiang Yuan casually watered the High Level luck seed, and the luck power on the panel instantly decreased by twenty strands.

After completing this series of tasks, Jiang Yuan closed the panel and looked at the small courtyard where Dugu Bo was.

With the insight effect of his Dual Pupils, he could easily see Dugu Bo in the courtyard.

At this moment, Dugu Bo was sitting quietly under a weeping willow by the pond.

A gentle breeze blew across the water, instantly lifting a few strands of hair behind Dugu Bo.

At this moment, Dugu Bo's face was calm, like a still well, just sitting quietly by the pond, meditating and adjusting his own state.

Besides that, he didn't make any moves.

Jiang Yuan quietly observed for a moment, then slowly withdrew his gaze.

Dugu Bo was still adjusting his own state, obviously not ready yet.

Jiang Yuan could understand this.

This is the opening of the sixth major realm of the physical body, the Lingtai realm.

Once successful, it will be a pioneering feat of ancient times.

From then on, the path of the physical body will be comparable to the pinnacle of the human realm, the Supreme realm.

If this achievement is reached, it can be considered a complete path.

At the moment of success, Dugu Bo will be recorded in history for future generations to admire.

Being able to compare to an ordinary Saint's physical body path is nothing, but if it can compare to the Supreme, it is a nearly perfect path.

It is enough to leave a brilliant mark in the river of time in this world.

Jiang Yuan then reopened and contemplated the Void Dao scripture in his hand.

Looking at it again, he gained new insights.

[You observe the Void Dao scripture, have a slight understanding, and your accumulation progress increases from 80.86% to 80.87%.]

[.]

[You observe the Void Dao scripture, have a slight understanding, and your accumulation progress increases from 80.87% to 80.88%.]

[.]

[You observe the Void Dao scripture, have a slight understanding, and your accumulation progress increases from 80.89% to 80.90%.]

[.]

Compared to the previous day's contemplation, the efficiency of improvement was several times slower.

But looking at this progress, Jiang Yuan was still satisfied.

It should be noted that Dugu Bo's mastery of the spatial Great Dao is only slightly over 80%, still lacking a bit from reaching 90%.

This means that having an 80% mastery of the spatial Great Dao is already at the pinnacle of the current world, with very few who can compare.

And at this level, his progress speed is still incredibly fast.

At this rate, it won't be long before he catches up to Dugu Bo.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but sigh.

The further other cultivators progress, the more difficult their cultivation becomes, and the harder it is to make progress.

But for himself, it was completely different. Compared to when he first entered the cultivation world, his progress speed was becoming more and more terrifying.

All of this was due to the continuous accumulation of innate luck.

Under the continuous accumulation of red, gold, and purple innate luck, his talent and potential continued to rise, and his cultivation speed not only did not slow down with breakthroughs in realms, but instead became faster!

The spatial Great Dao, which is extremely profound and difficult for other cultivators to grasp, felt incredibly simple and clear in front of Jiang Yuan, and he was progressing every moment.

Time flew by.

"Jiang Yuan, come quickly!"

Suddenly, a calm voice sounded in Jiang Yuan's ears.

Upon hearing this familiar voice, Jiang Yuan suddenly opened his eyes and his gaze turned towards the small courtyard where Dugu Bo was.

Then his mind moved slightly, and the luck power generated today was instantly harvested by him.

Luck power +100.

Then he immediately opened his panel and poured the power of luck onto the High Level luck seed.

He then closed the panel.

Another day has passed!

The dean adjusted his state for three days this time, and he is indeed much more stable than me.

Jiang Yuan sighed slightly in his heart.

During these three days of quiet contemplation, he would harvest his luck power without fail every day, while also watering the High Level luck seed.

Watering it once a day, for a certain period of time, the High Level luck seed will bloom.

Jiang Yuan still had some expectations for this.

Jiang Yuan's gaze swept over the panel again.

[Great Dao]: Space Great Dao (84.33%)

Then his gaze quickly retracted, and he closed the panel.

The next moment, he took a step forward and instantly disappeared from the rooftop of the Holy Academy's dormitory building.

When he reappeared, he was already in Du Gu Bo's small courtyard.

"Dean, are you ready?" Jiang Yuan said excitedly.

He was excited because whether this matter succeeds or not will determine his next step.

If it succeeds, Du Gu Bo's strength will naturally greatly increase, and then he can dare to reveal the Heavenly Tribulation and let the Heavenly Tribulation reappear in the world, transcending the tribulation and becoming a saint.

If it fails, then he will have to reconsider letting the Heavenly Tribulation reappear in the world.

Without the attention and preparation caused by the Heavenly Tribulation phenomenon, even if he plans carefully, there will be fewer Monster Saints entering the game.

Losing such a good opportunity to harvest Monster Saint Dao Fruit, it won't be so easy to go crazy and harvest Monster Saint Dao Fruit later.

Just like the Heavenly Origin Holy Land, the accumulation of so many years is extremely terrifying.

If he delves into the territory of the Monster Race, it is difficult to guarantee that there will not be a terrifying accumulation erupting.

It must be known that this world was once a world where immortals and Human Immortal demons coexisted.

And the three great divine mountains from beyond the domain have stood in the starry sky for so many years, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not intervene because of his actions that disrupt the balance.

It must be known that since the connection between the Heavenly Origin and the Earth, countless geniuses have been born in this world.

Some of these geniuses are not weaker than the top existences of the ancient times. They are at the peak of the Human Dao realm and can be compared to True Immortals in the Immortal Dao realm.

When such a strong person appears, it is reasonable to say that the balance between the two races can be broken, just like the previous loss of the Western Wilderness by the Human Race.

It is because the Monster Race has such a powerful existence in the Supreme realm.

Even if many great teachings have exhausted their heritage, they can only give up the Western Wilderness, and the Human Race has not yet recovered such a large territory.

It is because since that time point, such a powerful existence has not appeared.

And Jiang Yuan saw a statement before.

The reason why the Monster Race Emperor was satisfied with occupying one domain and stopped conquering was because there was the involvement of a mysterious force that mediated and could not disrupt the balance between the two races.

In order to appease the Monster Emperor, they allowed the Monster Emperor to invade the Western Wilderness.

Faced with the invasion of the Monster Emperor, the Human Race retreated again and again, and finally ceded the Western Wilderness and renegotiated the alliance.

Jiang Yuan didn't take this unrecorded news seriously before, thinking it was pure nonsense.

After all, that was a powerful existence that claimed to be able to reverse and kill True Immortals. How could there be an existence that could make such a strong person compromise?

Now, thinking back to this record, his perspective has completely changed.

From ancient times to the present, it seems that this world is everywhere cultivating geniuses.

Just like that special space battlefield, it has existed for countless years.

At least in ancient times, the battlefield where Human Immortals coexisted already existed.

In this battlefield, only the geniuses below Saints can activate the token to enter.

Whether it is the Ten Thousand Star Tower, various dangerous places, or rules, they all indicate one phenomenon, which is to cultivate geniuses.

In addition to Jiang Yuan's understanding so far, it seems that the ancient Heavenly Court, the supreme power of the upper realm, has participated in a world-shaking battle, and the Heavenly Court has also been broken. The shattered fragments occasionally manifest in the world, attracting cultivators from all over the Five Domains.

He had some understanding before, and countless epochs have been destroyed in the past years.

Even the blue star where his previous life was located has now become a desolate star.

This world seems to be shrouded in a catastrophe and could end at any time.

Especially in the current epoch, it is even more obvious after understanding. If the vast universe turns into a dead end, the ancient stars will lose all vitality and fall into silence.

The only places that can nurture creatures and give birth to life are the Five Domains.

So it is normal for the disputes between humans and demons to be manipulated by an invisible hand behind the scenes.

They naturally do not allow the two races to completely lose balance.

The dispute between the two races can lead to the decline of one side, but it absolutely cannot be annihilated.

Only through disputes, especially disputes over the survival of the races, can peerless geniuses be born more easily.

It is precisely because of these considerations that Jiang Yuan understands that he only has one chance, which is the opportunity to transcend the tribulation and become a Saint.

After that, he will lose such a great opportunity.

Because according to his inference, even the strongest beings who can be on par with True Immortals and are in the realm of humanity have to compromise.

In the past, Qinling Supreme was invincible in the world and solved a turmoil without any further action.

Perhaps this is also a kind of compromise.

Even if he harvests a large number of Demon Saint Dao Fruits after achieving sainthood, what difference does it make if he breaks through several realms?

Can he really surpass two major realms and be on par with True Immortals?

Jiang Yuan has no confidence in his heart.

After all, as the cultivation path progresses, the gap between each realm becomes greater.

There is a huge gap between Grotto-Heaven and Saint.

There is also a huge gap between Saint and Supreme.

It is because of this that the strength of Dugu Bo is highlighted.

He is in the Ninth Heaven of Saints and can also defeat the Southern Mountain Monster Emperor, which is extremely terrifying.

This is why he is called the Saint Emperor and the Dual Emperor of the Human Race by the Human Venerable.

However, there is also a gap between Supreme and True Immortal.

Even if he progresses rapidly through layout, it is difficult to reach the realm of the Ninth Heaven.

Even with deep accumulation and high talent, it is difficult to surpass two major realms and several minor realms.

If the Monster Emperor who could be on par with True Immortals back then is as Jiang Yuan guessed, then he is also unlikely to be an exception.

In Jiang Yuan's view, whether Dugu Bo can succeed this time is crucial.

If he successfully opens up the sixth realm of the physical body, the Secret Realm of the Spiritual Platform.

Then he can choose to reveal the Heavenly Tribulation and attract Demon Saints into the game.

With such a situation, he can harvest Demon Saint Dao Fruits and make rapid progress in his cultivation realm.

At that time, with the cooperation of his other means, he will truly have the power to protect himself.

Even if a True Immortal comes in person, he is confident in self-preservation.

In front of the current realm, these distractions only flashed for a moment. (End of this chapter)
