Especially in the episode after the prince returned to the court, Miao Le Tianzun asked the king various questions, but he didn't know the answers, but in the end he succeeded in attaining enlightenment. This reminds me of the term "great wisdom is like a fool". Moreover, the description of the Jade Emperor's knighthood in the book is also wonderful, making people feel as if they are in the heavenly palace. Overall, this book has an engaging storyline and is well worth reading.
