At this point, Wang Sheng smiled and looked at Liang Guang.
"So, after hearing all this, do you still want to continue using the Source Pen?"
Liang Guang was not as decisive as he was a thousand years ago; instead, he was caught in hesitation.
It’s actually quite normal.
A thousand years ago, his understanding of the Source Pen was that it would bring crisis, but not certain death.
But now, the Source Pen had no sha; if not for the Sect Leader, he would have died.
Two completely different outcos made it hard for him to act cheerfully.
Using the Source Pen now was no longer gambling; it was seeking death.
So he quickly made a decision.
Wavering only leads to chaos.
He took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Sect Leader, please take back the Source Pen!"
"A smart choice." Wang Sheng appreciated the decision, "Since that’s the case, I’ll take the Source Pen back."
With a casual wave, the Source Pen hidden on Liang Guang’s body fell into his hand.
After securing the Source Pen, he looked at Liang Guang again and said, "The previous conditions are still valid. Enter the starry sky, reach this point, and you’ll be my disciple. Of course, since the Source Pen is taken back, I’ll give you a little bonus."
Saying that, Wang Sheng took out so elixirs and treasures.
Although refining and forging weren’t his main skills, he would occasionally dabble in them.
The products he refined were not impressive to him, being rely playful creations.
But for the Eighth Realm, even the most ordinary ones were incredible treasures.
"If used wisely, these elixirs and treasures should be enough for you to reach . I hope you won’t disappoint , as I rarely invest in others."
Everything is connected by fate.
Fate is both cause and destiny.
Perhaps there’s a teacher-student bond between him and Liang Guang, so he’s willing to give an opportunity.
"Sect Leader, I won’t let you down." Liang Guang expressed with utmost gravity. Although he hadn’t fully grasped the situation, even from snippets, it was clear the Sect Leader’s strength would be formidable in the starry sky.
Soon, he rembered sothing and quickly asked, "Sect Leader, might I know your na?"
Wang Sheng looked at him, then said, "Isn’t my na already inscribed on the martial pavilion? If you want more, step into the starry sky swiftly, kid!"
After speaking, Wang Sheng vanished in front of Liang Guang.
Liang Guang initially wanted to say more, but seeing this, he could only give up;
"Such free-spiritedness... the na ’Wu Sheng,’ what kind of prowess does he hold in the starry sky?"
At this mont, he wasn’t aware he had unwittingly boarded the grandest ship in the starry sky.
But one thing he knew clearly: he absolutely couldn’t miss this opportunity.
"Looks like I need to plan well to enter the starry sky quickly..."
As for other cultivators on Floating Light Star, he knew that since he hadn’t encountered problems now, they’re no longer threats.
anwhile, Wang Sheng kept only a small portion of his focus on Liang Guang.
After all, the disciple was designated by him, and he also needed to observe the reergence of the vague Destiny Threads.
The majority of his energy was centered on the Secret Treasure - Source Pen.
"I must admit, it’s far beyond my expectation; seems to be entangled with sothing extraordinary."
He arrived at the astral plane inhabited by Dust Beasts.
Similar energy appeared on Liang Guang.
He wanted to verify if there was a connection between the Source Pen and Dust Beasts.
"Since nothing can be observed on the surface, let’s place them together for comparison."
The Starfire civilization continued its struggle against the Dust Beasts.
After that incident, the internal situation within Starfire civilization shifted.
Realistic circumstances led many of the upper managent to gradually accept the theory that as technology and cultivation advanced, Dust Beasts grew stronger.
Of course, no one dared openly advocate; actions were taken discreetly.
Wang Sheng was aware of the Dust Beasts’ situation and dared not personally capture them.
Ultimately, it was still provided by the Starfire governnt.
He placed the Dust Beasts and Source Pen together.
"While having the Dust Beasts attack, activate the Source Pen simultaneously; if the powers originate from the sa source, there would certainly be similarities."
Both activating the Dust Beasts and Source Pen were easy tasks.
Both powers burst out simultaneously.
But the final result was less than pleasing.
"The two powers show no similarities, no fusion, no resonance, and the power triggered by the Source Pen appears entirely like the force of the starry sky itself."
There was no difference.
Which was not a good thing for his research.
After repeated experints, he had to accept,
"Unfortunately, without caution at that ti, the mysterious energy’s characteristic within Liang Guang was unknown, failing to capture even a bit; that would’ve been the perfect comparison material."
After thinking for a while, he shook his head again.
"Even if I had it in mind, it would be troubleso, constantly strengthening, might not be able to capture it."
Research seed to be stalled again.
Though it wasn’t entirely fruitless, at least one thing was certain: the mishap with Liang Guang wasn’t primarily due to the Source Pen, just an inducent.
"Perhaps, the root cause still lies on the path of destiny."
"Since it’s confird not the Source Pen causing issues, let’s try again."
Wang Sheng stopped his research on the Dust Beasts, once again sent the Source Pen out.
Of course, this ti he placed the Source Pen on a world in the astral plane not yet invaded by Dust Beasts.
"This world has no cultivation systems, what happens if ordinary folks use the Source Pen?"
This ti, he randomly tossed the Source Pen.
Eventually, a scholar picked up the Source Pen.
Later, historical records penned:
[The first emperor was gifted a treasure by an immortal; his life brimd with opportunities amid endless troubles, establishing Heng Country, and upon reaching the Immortal Realm, he prayed to heaven, securing eight hundred years of national fortune for Heng Country...]
Over fifty years, the scholar, utilizing the Source Pen’s power, established a vast empire.
Before dying, he desired to rely on the Source Pen for immortality.
Wang Sheng was astounded by his aspirations; re immortality was understandable since millennium to ordinary folk counted as eternal life, but he also sought to evade death.
Even Wang Sheng couldn’t claim he achieved deathlessness.
Ultimately, lightning descended from the heavens, striking him down.
It was evident; he couldn’t endure the tribulation.
In the end, within Heng Country’s records, heavenly lightning was romanticized as ascension to the Immortal Realm.
Wang Sheng read until the end.
"The scholar used it lifelong, yet no Destiny Threads ford—was lack of cultivation or insufficient usage ti the cause?"
Thus, he chose another low-level cultivator. Unfortunately, unlike Liang Guang, who was restrained, the third Source Pen user was too greedy, perishing due to tribulation.
For the fourth, he ticulously selected, choosing an appropriate cultivator.
Finally, Wang Sheng saw a familiar phenonon.
"Destiny Threads—and the inception ti was approximately the sa as Liang Guang’s."
"Now it’s confird that to form Destiny Threads, the Source Pen is currently essential; moreover, the usage period must be long enough, reaching a certain duration before Destiny Threads erge. However, maybe other requirents exist, such as rationally organizing one’s fate, necessitating weakness at usage comncent, all possibly reasons for Threads formation."
Wang Sheng decided to try another person.
Yet just as he prepared to retrieve the Source Pen, his expression abruptly changed.
"That is... Dust Beasts!"
Originally untouched by Dust Beasts, the world saw sudden appearance of Dust Beasts.
He focused on the current Source Pen user.
"Involved with the Source Pen—if so, why didn’t anything happen when I activated the Source Pen before?"
For a civilization, the ergence of Dust Beasts spells catastrophic disaster.
Realizing this, Wang Sheng knew regardless of the connection, he had to retrieve it.
Then find ans to assist the civilization within reasonable limits, at least maintaining balance.
To prevent due to his presence, abrupt enhancent of Dust Beasts.
Thus, he imdiately dispatched the Source Pen to a distant barren planet, leaving only a feeble clone.
However, at that mont, an even more peculiar occurrence struck.
With the departure of the Source Pen, the user’s Destiny Threads gradually vanished.
Not just that, even the Dust Beasts started receding...
