“Well, I think I have made my point. It’s time for me to leave.” Brian walked up to Chu Lan and Chu Ling. Seeing them in shock, he shook them for a moment until they finally came back to reality.
“Let’s go!” Brian said as he walked up to his master.
Everyone was still in shock. It was the first time they have heard someone insulting the entire crowd like this and none of them could refute it. Because he wasn’t wrong.
Of course, Brian wasn’t wrong. He studied this world for a week. He knew about this world more than many youths in this world.
Every time knowledge was truly important. Brian understood this more than anyone else in this world. But, he wasn’t trying to teach them anything. He was just venting out his anger on the crowd.
People are selfish. He knew this term very well but after living in a world where more than seven billion people were killed, he knew the importance of people not being selfish.
He knew people could truly change. They could truly put their lives on the line for their own people. It’s just that in this world, that kind of event hasn’t happened yet so they don’t know.
Or, he could say that it happened in the past so they forgot about it.
After he took Chu Lan and Chu Ling away, his master finally realized it. She was also in a deep shock. What her disciple told her was truly surprising.
While they were walking, Brian picked up Chu Ling in his arms since they were going uphill. In the middle, Chu Ling couldn’t help but ask.
“Big brother, if I work hard, can I also become strong?”
“Of course, you can. You are a small kid so you don’t realize this. But, if one day, the spiritual energy, cultivation, and everything related to cultivation disappear from this world, what would happen?” Brian asked.
“Is it going to disappear, big brother?” Chu Ling asked with a terrified expression.
“It’s not going to disappear. I am just asking you a question. Well, let me answer it! If this world didn’t have cultivation, what you had to do is live like a mortal and in the end, you will die. That would be the life.”
“In the life of a mortal, there aren’t many things that they can do but even so, there are so many things that they could be done if they know how to do it. Do you know? It is possible to fly without using spiritual energy.”
“But, we don’t know how. Do you know why?” Brian asked once again.
Chu Ling cutely stared at him not knowing the answer.
“We don’t know because we can fly with spiritual energy. Unless you don’t have any choices, you will make your own. You might not have talent but it won’t stop you from getting stronger if you truly believe in yourself.”
“Even in this world, there are people who couldn’t awaken the Martial Spirit but have the heart to become one of the strongest. Many of them won’t achieve this dream but those who truly work hard will definitely earn what they deserve.”
At this moment, Brian’s eyes suddenly widened.
‘I know what to do. I truly know what to do. From the appearance of my daughter, I have been thinking about this for a long time. It’s just that the Dragon Lord and some other problem didn’t let me think about it.’
‘My greatest fear isn’t Dragon Lord or Universal Spirit. What would be the greatest fear of the smartest man in the universe? Obviously himself. I am afraid of myself.’
‘But what if I create someone who can truly stop me? I don’t want to create a human being but what if I forge a path for a person who had the strongest Will to become extraordinary despite being ordinary.’
‘What if I help a person become so strong that his strength could stop me no matter which version of me with his strength? That means I wouldn’t need to think about this.’
‘That means I wouldn’t need to work hard on any of this. That means as long as I solve Dragon Lord’s problem, I can leave everything to him and live the rest of my life with my wives, daughter, and friends.’
‘The life that I always wanted can be achieved if I just help someone…. But, to create someone like that, I need to create something that will help him. Alright! Let’s keep this idea in my mind for now. Once I reach a higher realm, I will leave this place, solve the problem with Dragon Lord, create that thing, and then live a happy life with my family.’
At this moment, Brian’s eyes blazed with determination.
‘Yes, that’s it I need to do just that.’
“Big Brother! Big Brother!”
“Ahh! Yes, yes, sorry about that. I got lost in some thoughts.” Brian jerked out of his imagination as he smiled and responded to Chu Ling.
“Big brother, I want to be strong as well. Will you help me?” Chu Ling looked at him with her cute puppy eyes as she asked.
Brian rubbed her nose and said, “Of course, I will.”
Then, he looked to his side and spoke “I think it would be bad if you and Meng stay in that city. I will ask my master to help you two find a safer place. I’m sorry I acted out of anger.”
Chu Lan shook his head and said “No, no! What you did for us was something we can’t thank you enough for. Not only you are planning on taking Ling, but you also stand up for us.”
“As for us, it doesn’t matter. We have been living like this for a long time and we will continue to live like this.”
Brian slapped his back and said “What are you talking about? If it weren’t for you guys, I don’t know what would’ve happened to me. So, let me talk to my master. I am not sure if she will help me but I can at least try to convince her.”
“And, why don’t you think I will help you?” Suddenly, a voice rang behind him.
Brian’s hair stood up for a moment as he turned around.
“Master!” He bowed as he greets her.
“No need to do that every time you meet me. Anyway, if you are worried what you said will affect your status in the sect, then you don’t have to be worried. The fact that someone was here and didn’t make any move means what you said was correct.”
“And, I also think what you said was right. If we can’t even break out of our ancestor’s shadows, how can we ever hope to surpass them? For eons, we have looked upon our ancestors because their bloodline is something that has helped us get stronger.”
“But, it has also created limitations on us; Physically and Mentally. We believed that we can’t surpass our ancestors. But, your words inspired a lot of people today including me.”
“It’s not about holding onto the legacies left by our ancestors. It’s about letting go and creating your own path, your own Dao. Only when you can truly understand the meaning of your existence, you can prove your Dao.”
“It feels like I don’t qualify to be your master.” When she said that, a trace of sadness appeared in her eyes.
Brian shook his head and said, “What a disciple needs from a master? Can his master grant him that? This is the main fulcrum that balances the relationship between master and disciple.”
“If a master truly can’t give anything to the disciple, then he isn’t worthy to be that disciple’s master. But, you are. Because you have something that you can give me. And, that’s the thing that I truly need.”
“For me, knowledge is like water in the river. It keeps flowing and as long as I want to, I can grab some of it and drink. But, what I need isn’t something that I can simply grab even with my so-called talent.”
“That’s why I need your help, master.”
Hearing his words, Cao Ping slowly let out a smile and sighed “It seems like you are in a hurry. Well, I won’t ask you anything and do everything to help you achieve your goal. As for them, don’t worry I will go there with him and bring them to the sect.”
“I have seen how ruthless can you be when someone close to you is touched. So, don’t worry we will keep them safe. And, I assume you already know about the benefit of having Divine Rank Martial Soul.”
“So, you can surely bring her to join the sect with you. For now, you should go with Tu Che. He will help you register and then once I return, I will teach you other things.”
Saying so, she pointed her palm at Tu Che who was behind them.
“Wait…” Brian raised his hand and touched the back of his head, asking.
“Does that even considered ruthless?”
