chapter 1126 the xuan master’s warning

translator: borntobe

“you have guts.” long chen was brought back to the xuan master’s private room. it was the xuan master who spoke first. he bitterly smiled. “in all my years of cultivation, i’ve never slapped a life star expert’s face before. sigh, i wonder if i’ll have a chance in the future.”

long chen also bitterly smiled. “xuan master, don’t be so sarcastic. that bastard was completely intolerable. if i were stronger, i’d have directly cut him to pieces.”

thinking of how ma xingkong had caught his throat and held him like a dog, killing intent burned in long chen’s eyes. there was no way he could accept this.

he hated ma xingkong for being shameless, and he hated himself for being powerless. he was still too weak. he couldn’t accept living like this where he could only endure being humiliated.

“i’m not being sarcastic. that slap of yours was truly amazing. it allowed my xuantian dao sect to finally vent a bit,” praised the xuan master.

“xuan master, i don’t understand something. can you answer some of my questions?” asked long chen.

“whatever you have to say, have a seat first.” the xuan master sat down in front of a tea table. he started to steep some tea.

long chen directly asked, “how did the heaven suppressing magic sect raise such foolish idiots? from top to bottom, not one of them has a brain.”

long chen was extremely puzzled. in his mind, people who had reached greater heights of cultivation should have been masterful people with high accomplishments in the mind as well. after all, their comprehension of the heavenly daos had to be high to reach their level.

for example, there was elder li changfeng, the elder hall master, and the xuan master. their bearing was graceful and elegant, and they were all incredibly wise without being arrogant or ostentatious. that was something that won them his esteem.

in comparison, there was ma xingkong. he was an idiot, a big idiot. it wasn’t as if the xuan master’s acting had been incredibly marvelous. but he had still directly jumped into the trap.

furthermore, after he had realized it, he had immediately lost his calm and attacked. how was he a grand person at all? he was more like a hoodlum.

“haha, in truth, the cultivation world is not as complicated as you’re making it. it’s very simple, even more simple than the secular world.” the xuan master smiled.

he raised the teapot, and long chen was just about to take it when the xuan master stopped him. he personally poured tea for both of them before continuing.

“the rules of the cultivation world are no different from the rules of wild animals. power is everything. there is nothing else. you might feel that the cultivation world is full of idiots with laughably childish methods and zero skill, but that’s simply natural.

“take for example the secular world. perhaps in your hometown, two nations are able to coexist. that means their power is about the same. the two nations will fight, both internally and externally. all kinds of schemes and traps will be laid out to defeat their opponents.

long chen softly muttered to himself. legend was that the kun transformed into the peng, and it was dissatisfied with heaven and earth’s restrictions. it would rather become enemies of the world and break free of its restrictions to be free.

the kunpeng was the definition of wild arrogance. in the myths, its fate was always to be eradicated beneath the heavenly daos.

it was like a mystical curse. when the kunpeng was born, it had to fight against the heavens. it would rather die beneath the heavenly daos than be bound by its shackles.

this was similar to long chen’s fate. at first, long chen hadn’t wanted to fight against the heavens. but the heavenly daos tried to destroy him all the time, and so he had no choice but to become their enemy.

so long chen’s enemy was not his fellow cultivators, but this entire world and the heavenly daos. he understood what the xuan master was saying here, and yet, he couldn’t do that.

“my path is different from others. i must advance without looking back. once i retreat, not only will i die, but i will also implicate every other person following me,” said long chen.

the xuan master nodded. it seemed long chen already knew many things. although he didn’t know he was a heaven-defier, he had already prepared himself to walk the path of defying the heavens until the end.

“was your oath today serious?” asked the xuan master.

“yes. that bastard humiliated me to cast a shadow on my dao-heart. if i can’t get my revenge, it may create a heart-devil in the future.” long chen nodded. this was like a lump had been placed on his heart, making it hard for him to breathe.

in truth, according to reason, being humiliated when a grand sect leader attacked you was very normal. in fact, if it was another person, they might even feel honored.

but long chen felt stifled. whenever he thought of this, he would feel furious. he had to get revenge for this.

the xuan master was lost in thought for a long while. he suddenly said, “the heaven suppressing magic sect has a close relationship with pill valley. the reason they are so strong and could grow so quickly is definitely related to pill valley. many powerful sects have close relationships with pill valley, so you should be careful.”

long chen was startled. looking at the xuan master, he wanted to ask a few things, but then thinking about it, he decided not to. the xuan master was simply warning him that he was underestimating pill valley.

“will my actions today bring trouble to the dao sect?” asked long chen.

“the dao sect’s troubles have never come to an end. if we still didn’t strike back, we would completely decline. this counterattack will definitely quickly bring about a few consequences, but i knew such a day would come. i started my preparation many years ago, so it won’t cause too much of a problem for the sect in the short-term.

“however, while this continent looks peaceful on the surface, there are many hidden undercurrents and countless dangers. many powers are beginning to stir. if the dao sect continued to stay silent, it’s likely that it would never have another chance to rise. your arrival is an opportunity. i’m using you to grasp that opportunity to allow the xuantian dao sect to rise,” said the xuan master.

“you have that much trust in this little one?” long chen couldn’t help but bitterly smile.

“it’s the same as how you trust me.” the xuan master smiled. he took out a bead and offered it to long chen. “this life star bead is your battle spoil. take it.”
