"Actually, to tell you the truth, sometimes, I thought about committing suicide, but I could never do it, so I still live until now." Chu Aotian sighed. "It seems that I don't have that kind of courage after all. What's the difference between me and ordinary people? Now that I have nothing, I am still afraid of death. If immortality is the goal of people embarking on the path of cultivation, then I am losing While I am qualified to be close to my goal, I shouldn’t continue to live. However, I am still alive. When you were not around, I thought about it a lot. A lot. In the end, I backed down... But, I have to say, there is such a thing as fate. , when you are alive, you often lament its capriciousness, but when you die, looking back on your life, you often feel that this is all destiny. I am very lucky. It is my retreat that allows me to wait for such a journey. Although the dawn seems far away and full of variables, based on my experience in the past thousand years, Ye Qingcheng will eventually embark on the path arranged by us. What we just discussed is the script for the next few hundred years. He will ascend The fairy world can only exist within a few hundred years. If it exceeds this time period, then I have seen the wrong person."
Yes, no matter how extremely talented Chu Aotian was, how arrogant he was back then, and he could be called an invincible master in the human world, but in the end, to put it bluntly, he was just a human being, and he was afraid of death after all. The only ones who are not afraid of death are the legendary true gods or true demons, right?
The three of them were slightly stunned, but after all, they were all respectable people now, and they usually didn't show their joy.
Unexpectedly, Chu Aotian had thought about death? But thinking about it, in a place beyond time like Xiaoxumi Cave, if you are an ordinary person, you will probably go crazy after staying there for a few years. Shang Yang stayed here for ten years, many of which were because he lived with his master and had a master to talk to and guide. What about Master? He has been imprisoned here for hundreds of years. During these long years, he has looked at the scenery that will never change. Although his body is extremely strong, he cannot exert any strength. To put it mildly, he is called a recluse, and to put it worse, he is a prisoner of time.
Moreover, to be honest, he had not seen the master for many years. There was also his own problem in this, which even he did not dare to think about.
His eyes were looking in a direction, which was a direction only known by the past sects. It was a cave located at the deepest part of the Xiaoxumi Cave. It was almost next door to the master's place, although they were far apart. But there are no other Broken Kingdoms or Cave Heavens in it. Yes, the cave where Chu Aotian is staying is the second one from the inside of the Xiao Xumi Cave. If something unexpected happens and the Jiange Elder Council cannot deal with it, then they can also disrupt the Xiao Xumi Cave. The coordinates of these caves in the sky made it impossible for Chu Aotian to break out of the encirclement in a short time. So again, what is the mentality of the Jiange Presbyterian Church? He was afraid of Chu Aotian, but he didn't dare to kill him. However, Chu Aotian's original crime was enough to make him die several times. Maybe this secret will be revealed one day in the future.
"Master, I have always wanted to ask a question." After thinking for a long time, they had nothing to talk about, so Ling Yunzi thought about it and decided to ask something that had been bothering him for a long time.
"Oh, I didn't expect that Ling Yun, you have been the head teacher for hundreds of years, and you still have questions to ask me?" Chu Aotian smiled.
"Yes, although I now think that my swordsmanship has gone very far and my cultivation has reached the middle level of the Heavenly Emperor, I still feel that I am still far away from the original master. Although in terms of cultivation Look, I was only one level behind my master at that time, but in terms of strength, I couldn’t even touch a hair of my master at that time. Even now, I still feel that my master at that time was indeed too unfathomable. I asked myself what if Against my former master, even if I tried my best, there was still no possibility of victory. Although I know that there is a big difference in strength even between people of the same level, but can it be said that with hard work and patience, I can really win? Can’t you catch up with those who are naturally proud?”
Chu Aotian narrowed his eyes. He didn't expect Ling Yunzi to ask such a question. It seemed that he had grown up after all.
"However, this is the fact. Although with your hard work and patience, you can catch up with the genius and achieve better results than the genius, but you are not a genius after all. Why do you have to insist on this? You Even if you can't do it, you still can't do it. You are not always optimistic like ordinary people who think that as long as you work hard, you can succeed. There is nothing you can't do. The question is, if you can do it, why don't you, a mortal, go to heaven? ? Oh, by the way, except for Xunlongmen, they can go to heaven, but they are not included in this list. Doing what you can do is the purpose of human efforts. If you do not have the destiny of a genius, but you are still desperately chasing the footsteps of a genius , so what can you get in the end?”
Although Ling Yunzi remembered every word he said, Chu Aotian's tone made him feel like he was always emphasizing that he was a genius. Although it was true, so what? Didn’t you, the greatest genius in the human world, still fall from the clouds?
"Disciple understands, but I will still take Master as my goal and slowly and diligently pursue it. Although Master, you have made me understand the nature of my pursuit, you cannot change my decision. When you are alive, you should do what you want. What, maybe those mortals just want to live peacefully, and a peaceful life is their greatest pursuit. But I am destined not to be ordinary, and I don’t want Shushan to decline in my hands, so power is the truth, just like the Great Guangming Palace Sect Like Wang Guoren, as long as you have power, that is your real capital. He has power, so even sects like Laoshan, which have been neutral for hundreds of years, can be won over by him. Although I know that what I said is all fallacy, but it just Others believe these fallacies. After all, it is the times that create heroes, and it is often the environment that creates a person, rather than a person changing the environment. Just imagine, Master, if you were born thousands of years ago in an era when gods and demons were dancing, how could you still be like this? Were you so arrogant in the world when you were at your peak?" He paused, and then continued: "Now the disciple has only one doubt left in his heart and wants to ask Master, Master, what is the heart of the sword?"
However, Chu Aotian laughed a few times, and finally said slowly: "That's a good question, but even I don't know... Don't think I have that theory, but theory is not equal to practice, even I , I don’t even know what Kenshin is…”
