Chapter 556: Chapter 95: Punching the Sword Master
Everyone harbors greed, anger, and ignorance; no one in the world can truly be free of desires. Even the great powers appear aloof simply because their interests are not yet threatened.
Only lifeless objects can truly be without desire or pursuit.
My master cannot escape worldly matters, and Xiao Yunyi is naturally the sa.
But Xiao Yunyi takes it even more seriously than my master; those words, both admiration and self-reproach, weigh heavily on him.
Why can’t he do better, and why not let , the ‘widely expected’ top of the Three Lists, take over?
His self-reproach seems excessively grand, making even Gu Wen feel ashad.
To be honest with oneself, would one feel ashad for not achieving perfection in sothing?
The answer is definitely no; Gu Wen is not like Xiao Yunyi, this peerless Heavenly Pride of the Sword Sect. His background was not as illustrious, nor was he a genius from the start.
Xiao Yunyi overestimates himself.
Gu Wen started as a rchant, then beca a cultivator, and now he is Gu Wen.
It is the virtues and conduct of a civilized society from his past life, combined with eight hundred years of experience, that make the present Gu Wen.
The only similarity between him and Xiao Yunyi might be their demanding nature regarding their abilities.
Gu Wen often thinks that if his strength is greater than his master’s, he must retaliate, even if only with two punches. He’s not a native cultivator; he’ll respect his teacher but won’t value it higher than his life.
Xiao Yunyi stubbornly shook his head and said: “If you co, you would do better than .”
“I am here now. Has the cultivation world improved?” Gu Wen asks and answers himself, “No, it’s still the sa as before. There’s never been a problem that only I can solve.”
“You saved Qingcang Immortal years ago.”
“It was my choice, not a problem. If I hadn’t saved, Jianmu would die, and there wouldn’t be a second human-demon war.”
“If not for Qingcang Immortal, the world wouldn’t have been peaceful all these years.”
“Master’s peace only ans no large-scale sect wars between sects; conflicts between individuals have always existed.”
“Do you have a solution?”
Upon hearing this, Gu Wen raised an eyebrow, vaguely guessing the other’s intention.
This is trying to make take the lead, like my master. These people always have unrealistic expectations of .
He shook his head in denial: “No, at least I can’t foresee sothing I’ve never seen before.”
“But I believe the world will get better in the hands of my master and you great powers, and the new generation of cultivators growing up in an environnt for the public and for the people will also help push Universal Unity.”
Implicit aning: don’t drag into trouble.
Besides, Gu Wen truly doesn’t know what to do; he can give so opinions on the current rough managent system but cannot change the conflict between cultivators and mortals.
He can’t even solve the ideological disputes between different factions of the three religions and nine streams.
“You, as a Saint, don’t have sothing only you can do? The idea to lead the world?”
Xiao Yunyi frowned slightly, completely disregarding Gu Wen’s earlier phrase ‘you won’ and instead thinking Gu Wen was shirking.
During the third Universal Unity, due to the severe situation, the Daoist Sect opened the Cultivation Hall, looking as if they were about to sever all sect relations. Xiao Yunyi took the Immortal Sword to et Qingcang Immortal.
He fought Qingcang Immortal in three moves (got beaten), and the injuries he has now were left from that ti.
Others think the old affliction left by the Devil Ancestor resurfaced, making it seem he is dying. Actually, it’s because he’s dealing with Qingcang’s injuries, so he hasn’t cared about these ‘old afflictions.’
At that ti, Qingcang Immortal told him what Universal Unity is, which is also what Gu Wen ntioned.
After listening, Xiao Yunyi only found it absurd. It’s already hard enough to ensure everyone has enough food and clothing, let alone equality for everyone?
Cultivation talent is inherently unequal, so how can people be equal?
Xiao Yunyi agreed with Qingcang Immortal’s efforts in the first two attempts but disagreed with the approach after the Cultivation Hall, seeing equality as a technique of disorder.
He was not a direct transmission of Qingcang, and Qingcang Immortal wouldn’t pamper him, kicking him back to Broken Sword Mountain with a few punches and kicks.
But Xiao Yunyi believes that if it were Gu Wen, he would definitely be able to stop Qingcang Immortal.
“There is one thing that only I can do.”
Gu Wen nodded, Xiao Yunyi’s eyes lit up slightly, stepping forward to inquire: “What does Brother Gu intend to do?”
“Enter the underworld, reverse life and death. Only I will disregard my own safety and have the ability.”
Master cannot do this, even though she promised .
Because Li Yunshang has too many concerns and responsibilities, she cannot disregard everything, and Gu Wen won’t let his master choose one over the other.
Saving the world from destruction is not my place; improving the people’s livelihood will have virtuous people to take on it; Universal Unity requires countless people’s efforts.
And only Gu Wen can save Yu Hua, and he alone will do it.
She must also think this way, so she sought many others to try to trip him up.
Only, Gu Wen is no longer comparable to eight hundred years ago.
“…”
Xiao Yunyi let out an indiscernible sigh, the Immortal Sword in his hand that was hanging down suddenly raised, a ray of Sword Intent once again traversed the Sword Pond.
He said, “Brother Gu, why always think of romantic entanglents?”
“To save one’s closest, why compare?”
Upon hearing this, Gu Wen’s eyes cooled slightly, feeling sowhat displeased.
What he is determined on neither harms anyone nor is shaful, so how could he allow others to criticize? Must one argue that a real man should not worry about having a wife, and should first tackle state matters?
Everyone thinks I am ill, all fear the heart demon like a tiger, but how can anyone not be crazed?
My master, for saving the world, is she not considered mad?
