During the journey to Wuwang Sea, Lou Kongyu had already witnessed the extravagant style of this senior, and had a vague idea of his wealth and status. Now, being suddenly asked by such a big man whether he wanted to be his apprentice should be a great temptation for Lou Kongyu, whose life had always been floating around the poverty line before and after coming to the cultivation world.
However, Lou Kongyu refused immediately without even thinking about it.
When he saw everyone's eyes on him, Lou Kongyu realized that his quick refusal might be embarrassing for Senior Su.
He looked at Su Xingchen nervously, but found that the other party seemed to be just asking casually, and even seemed to have expected his reaction. He was not surprised by his answer at all. He just nodded lightly to indicate that he understood. Lou Kongyu couldn't tell whether he was angry or not.
There shouldn't be any, right?
Based on my observations along the way, Senior Su is not such a narrow-minded person.
However, the other party's subsequent behavior made Lou Kongyu less sure about his guess.
Because when he returned to the headquarters of the Loose Cultivator Alliance to hand in the task, he found out that Senior Su had already left without even saying hello.
Lou Kongyu asked Chu Lu hesitantly, "Senior Su is not angry, right?"
Chu Lu comforted him: [According to his personality, he won’t do that.]
It should be said that Su Xingchen really did as he said before, he just came to take a look.
Now that I have finished watching, I am naturally ready to leave.
People who can see the future, or predict "destiny", are weird no matter which world they are in. It is meaningless to investigate the reasons for their behavior.
However, Lou Kongyu...
Chu Lu felt that he still needed to explain to the child what he had refused before.
He briefly explained the special status of Yuewang Tower in the world of cultivation, and then said: [Yuewang Tower rarely recruits external disciples.]
It's not that I don't want to, it's just that it's difficult to find a disciple with such talent.
After all, even in the world of cultivation, not everyone has spiritual roots and can embark on the path of cultivation, and Yue Wanglou's talent of "being able to glimpse destiny" should be even rarer.
Since Su Xingchen asked Lou Kongyu to accept him as his disciple, it means that Lou Kongyu has talent in this area. Considering the scarcity of disciples in Yuewang Tower, it should be quite difficult for them to find a successor. Therefore, even if Lou Kongyu regrets and chases after him now, the other party should still agree.
Although he had been in the cultivation world for several years, Lou Kongyu had always been struggling at the bottom and was still isolated from the news. After listening to Chu Lu's introduction, he exclaimed with an expression of having learned something new.
[So there are monks like this!]
Then he realized what Chu Lu meant a little later. He sat up straight and tried to explain stutteringly: [No, Senior, I, I... don't want to... No, I think... Senior Su might have made a mistake... How could I be...]
Chu Lu didn't comment on his lame excuse. He had only mentioned a few more words to prevent the kid from regretting after knowing the situation. Now that the other party was really not interested, he didn't say anything more.
Lou Kongyu did look as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, but he finally shut his mouth tightly.
——No, no…
The senior had already revealed his intention not to accept any disciples. If he brought it up now, wouldn't it seem like coercion?
For the 3476th time, Lou Kongyu suppressed the words that were about to come out of his mouth, asking to be his disciple.
When his cultivation level is higher...
No, next time.
Until next time...
Be sure to speak up next time.
Chu Lu's guess was indeed correct. The talent of being able to glimpse destiny is rare in the world. If Lou Kongyu changes his mind and chases after him, he can indeed make the other party agree.
Even now, on the way back, there were disciples from Yuewang Tower who were all worried and asked carefully: "Master, are you going to leave the young master there?"
This group of people didn't take Lou Kongyu's rejection seriously at all.
Although the position of the owner of Yuewang Tower has been passed down from generation to generation in the Su family, it was a bit strange that an outsider suddenly appeared at this moment. But since Su Xingchen said it himself, the disciples of Yuewang Tower believed it without any doubt.
The guidance of "Heaven's Destiny" has never been wrong, and in the eyes of the disciples of Yuewang Tower, Su Xingchen is almost equivalent to "Heaven's Destiny".
So at this moment, even if Lou Kongyu refused, they just thought that the time was not right.
When Su Xingchen was asked the question, he just looked up at the vast starry sky at night and did not answer.
The disciple also realized that he had spoken out of turn. The decision of the host must have a deeper meaning, which was not something they could guess.
However, if the next generation heir of Yuewang Tower was left outside like this, he would feel uneasy. He even thought of sending someone to protect him secretly.
But since the poster didn't do anything, it would be unnecessary for them to do this.
The disciple thought for a moment, and finally asked, "When can we take the young master back to the building?"
This time Su Xingchen finally responded, "No."
He paused, then continued: "...He won't come."
The child did have some talent, but he was not his heir.
Logically, he wouldn't say anything, but around that person, he couldn't help but do things that were "a waste of effort".
That is... an existence that can break "destiny" and shake the trajectory of life.
…
After Su Xingchen finished speaking, he didn't care about the disciple's shocked face, which then turned into a terrified expression as if the sky was falling because of some unknown thought. He just walked forward a few steps, as if stepping on an invisible staircase in the air, and walked upwards. Finally, he stood steadily on the protruding tip at the front of the spirit boat, and raised his hand as if to touch the stars.
This time, he saw it.
——That fateful star.
Although it was extremely dim, it did light up again.
He thought of the time when his father took him to identify the stars when he was a child...
The night sky is vast, dotted with stars, their light may be bright or dim, but they are just a grain of millet in the vast ocean.
It's like all living beings are helpless against fate.
Every time I look at the stars, the vague thoughts in my mind become clearer.
——Under the way of heaven, all living beings are ants.
No matter how much you struggle and resist, you will eventually be drowned in the rolling torrent.
He told his father his thoughts, but all he got was a smile.
Su Xingchen vaguely realized that his father disapproved, but he didn't understand why his father opposed it.
He could see the paths of stars, and as he grew older, his ability became more and more remarkable.
Then he saw the end of the starry sky.
——It was a dark, lightless night.
Dull and depressing, not even a single star.
Su Xingchen tried to find the light, but his talent, which was praised by his father as "unparalleled in the history of the Su family" and even comparable to the ancestor of the Su family, seemed to have failed at this moment.
No, it's not that I lost, but that I was too weak.
——This is the destiny, how can it be shaken by individual power?
Under the way of heaven, all living beings are ants.
As for the dark ending in the end, it didn't seem surprising.
Su Xingchen tried several more times, but he couldn't even light up the faintest starlight, so he gave up...
Mayflies are born in the morning and die in the evening, and ants only live for one night.
This is destiny, and it should be this way.
What he did before was like an ant trying to shake a tree, so presumptuous and ridiculous.
Then, one day, something suddenly changed.
Bright, too bright.
——The star of destiny that suddenly appeared...
It was so bright that it was scorching.
The dark night sky almost looks like daytime under this light.
Suddenly, he understood.
This is what my father once said, the so-called "person who shakes the trajectory of destiny."
And the end of what he was originally looking at, the dark night sky as far as the eye can see, finally lit up with sparse stars.
One by one...
The light was sparse and dim, but when it was reflected in the boy's eyes, it seemed as if the whole world was lit up.
No, it’s not “seemingly”, it’s “really”.
——It was lit up.
Since the day that dazzling star shines.
The end of the starry sky will no longer be a desolate darkness.
Under the heaven's way, all living beings are ants...
However, ants also have the ability to survive.
…
There was a slight sound in my ears.
It was as if some barrier that had been shackled him for a long time was broken.
The starry sky has never been as clear as it is now. The veins of each star are clearly presented before his eyes, and he can see their past and future at a glance.
Then he saw—
The star that was so bright that it shook the entire starry sky, after its dazzling brilliance, completely dimmed.
…it’s gone!
He died?!
——How could it be?!
Move the star chart and disrupt fate...
He tried again and again using the abilities he gained from breaking through the shackles.
However...it was of no use.
After shining extremely brightly, it quickly faded away, as if this was the star's destiny from the moment it was born.
Another example of "an ant trying to shake a tree".
It was like going back to my childhood, when I tried again and again to light up the dark night but to no avail.
He tried so many times, so many times that he couldn't even count them.
One day, I suddenly realized——
No, it’s the person who is wrong.
Su Jia was just a "bystander" who witnessed everything; he was not the one who shook the fate.
But are we just going to stand by and watch? How is that possible?!
…
——Found it!!
That is...
After adjusting the star tracks countless times, disrupting fate countless times and creating encounters, this is the only possible ray of hope for survival.
…
…………
Su Xingchen stretched out his hand and caught the starlight from afar.
The light was no longer as dazzling as it was when we first saw it. We even had to look carefully to detect the light that was almost covered by the night.
But it lights up.
It really did light up again.
On the other side, because Jiang Yixi noticed Wuwanghai's movements and ran away, it was Xie Jing who continued to explore the current small secret realm alone.
In the secret realm, formations are nested layer by layer.
With Jiang Yixi, the ancestor of formations, around, the two could naturally approach the central area quietly without alerting the owner.
But now only Xie Jing is left...
——Of course he has his own ways.
The sharp sword intent tore through layers of defense and reached the center of the secret realm.
This unconcealed and huge momentum inevitably alarmed the owner of the secret realm.
But for Xie Jing, these are not important.
He has never been a secretive person. As long as he moves fast enough so that the enemy has no time to escape, he can still achieve his goal.
In an interval shorter than a breath, almost at the moment the sword light exploded, he arrived at the center of the secret realm.
However, the scene he saw before him made the sword energy in his body suddenly burst out. After this impact, the already shaky cave in the center collapsed completely.
The person, or puppet, opposite him... walked out of the ruins calmly.
Dressed in white, even his voice was exactly the same as in his memory. He uttered those two words gently:
"Junior brother."
Xie Jing:!!!
…
…………
With his current state of mind, all emotions have faded, and Xie Jing rarely shows obvious emotions.
But this time, he could hardly control the tremendous anger that surged from his chest, and he didn't want to control it...
——How dare you? !
How dare they? ! ! !
As his anger rose, there was an extremely calm expression on his face.
The momentum around him continued to rise. A huge shadow of a long sword condensed behind him. Sword energy was overflowing, and even the space behind him seemed to be distorted.
He raised his hand—
The space around the sword shadow was distorted to the extreme, and there were even faint signs of peeling and collapse.
——Cut it off!
As the giant sword pressed down, the entire secret realm was split into two.
From the center of the split, the dark chaotic space, carrying the turbulence of time and space, swallowed up all the remains of the secret realm.
At the very end, before being swallowed up along with the fragment of space it was in, the puppet raised its head and looked in the direction of Xie Jing, with the corners of its mouth pulled to one side, revealing a weird smile that should never appear on that face.
--[pity].
Xie Jing recognized the lip shape, but his expression became even gloomier and uglier.
——What a pity?!
"What a shame... I thought we could still work together..."
The young man's clear voice sounded in another palace, carrying a hint of regret.
"I left the one that looks most like it in the secret place..."
