"Mister Mo Nian, what is the Dao?" Yu Tong asked Mo Nian the same question.
"In my opinion, the Dao is a concept when something is taken to the peak, when truth reaches a pinnacle. It is the law of behaviors that encompasses everything within heaven and earth," said Mo Nian.
"Oh? Can you explain it in more detail?" Yu Tong's eyes brightened slightly.
"The word known as the Dao is a set of laws. According to my understanding, the Dao is a kind of truth.
"This truth contains two sides, which is why the Dao can be split into Yin and Yang. Everything within this world has two opposing sides. If there is a high, there is a low. If there is an up, there is a down.
"For example, let us say one side is Yin and one side is Yang. Then this so-called Yang Dao is the hard side of cultivators. When brute strength is taken to the peak, it is so fierce that others are helpless. It is filled with the courage to charge forward despite all obstacles. That is the Yang Dao. Now, about the Yin Dao. The Yin Jing Dao is-"Mo says Yin Jing 阴经 but this also sounds like 阴茎 (which means penis)
"Pfft!"
Long Chen was in the midst of drinking when he suddenly spat it out below the table. It was lucky his reaction had been quick enough, or it would have spurted all over the table.
Mo Nian immediately realized what he had said and rephrased, "This Yin side of the Dao is to use soft force. Like the water the wood floats on, the waves of the water can also snap the wood and devour ships. Although it is not an explosive power, its power is still limitless, possessing no beginning and no end.
"If you have too much Yang force, it'll be easy for you to snap. If you have too much Yin force, you'll have no sharpness. The two of them are not true strength. True strength is a combination of Yin and Yang, the two of them complementing and making up for the other's flaws.
"This is my comprehension of this so-called Dao. In my opinion, nothing is absolute. Whether you reach the pinnacle of Yang or the pinnacle of Yin, they are both dead paths. Only when the two combine will there be life."
The three women couldn't help but clap. Yu Tong said, "Mister Mo Nian's knowledge and experience truly is amazing. It has let me see an even vaster world. I have benefited immensely."
Yu Tong then asks Mo Nian what is King Dao.
