568: Star Chart 3

"I am just an ordinary Immortal Law Realm Sixth Transformation and mid-stage Immortal Realm cultivator."

"Therefore, even just a ripple from that Immortal Law Realm Ninth Transformation's attack is not something I can easily withstand."

"Under that single blow, I was forcibly knocked down a realm."

"The Dao injuries inflicted upon me have not recovered even to this day."

"Afterwards, I fled all the way, relying on the power of this star map fragment."

As he spoke, Ancestor Wuguang sighed.

"I need to save my master, but with my strength, that Immortal Law Realm Ninth Transformation wouldn't even need to make a move; any one of his subordinates could easily deal with me."

"After escaping from there, I began to wander through the universe. My state of mind suffered, and my Sword Intent subsequently dropped by a realm."

"Whenever I think about what a behemoth the opponent is, the sense of powerlessness in my heart sweeps in like a cosmic storm."

"Every time this happens, my Sword Intent drops a little more, and until now, it has only reached the early-stage Immortal Realm level."

Chen De listened intently to Ancestor Wuguang's story; it was surprising to see so many powerful figures involved.

"Later, I met a senior. This senior was an expert in Arithmetic and saw through me with just a single glance, including my master."

"As for what I needed to do, and my confusion, that was naturally calculated as well."

"So, I requested him to see if he could calculate a way to rescue my master."

"Then, under his guidance, I came here and established Wuguang Hall."

"Then, according to what he said, I was to hold an apprenticeship ceremony on a certain day countless years later."

"Select a winner, regardless of the method they used to win, and hand that star map fragment to them. After that, I would not need to worry about anything else."

Ancestor Wuguang looked at Chen De with burning eyes, "So, disciple, you are the person I have chosen."

Seeing this, Chen De hurriedly pledged his loyalty, "Master, rest assured, I will definitely rescue Grandmaster."

"It's just that, with my current abilities, since even Master cannot do it, how could I possibly manage it?"

Chen De frowned while patting his chest in assurance, "But Master, rest assured, whether I can do it or not, this disciple will go through fire and water, even if I have to die, I will complete this task."

"Hahaha!"

Ancestor Wuguang laughed a few times, patted Chen De on the shoulder, and said, "Disciple, do not be troubled. Since that powerful figure calculated it, no matter what you do in the future, you will be able to rescue your Grandmaster."

"After all, this is all the arrangement of fate!"

Hearing the phrase 'the arrangement of someone', Chen De suddenly felt a bit triggered.

For some reason, he felt like he had heard this phrase somewhere before.

Also, Ancestor Wuguang is a Sword Immortal; instead of believing in himself, he goes off to believe in someone else's Arithmetic and believes in fate.

Is this something a Sword Cultivator should do?

Aren't Sword Cultivators supposed to be unyielding and not believe in fate?

No wonder his Sword Intent realm kept dropping, and now it is only at the early-stage Immortal Realm level.

Whether it is Sword Intent or Blade Intent, their core is to believe in oneself. One can only rely on oneself; everything else is an external force.

Therefore, Ancestor Wuguang's problem is not about whether he believes in fate or not, but that he no longer believes in himself.

Powerful blades and swords have no reliance, nor do they need to rely on anything. Being strong oneself is the true strength.

Up until now, strictly speaking in terms of Sword Heart or Blade Heart, the strongest person Chen De has encountered should be the East Sea Sword Saint.

"Disciple, do you understand?" Ancestor Wuguang asked with a smile.

Chen De, of course, could not confirm this, "Thank you for your guidance, Master. Master is indeed far-sighted."

Afterwards, he started to look troubled, "It's just... Master, please don't blame me after I say this."

Ancestor Wuguang was in a great mood at this moment. Seeing Chen De's bitter expression, he asked what was going on, "Just what? Speak."

Taking a deep breath, Chen De began to say, "It's just that this disciple has only just broken through to the Immortal Law Realm, and for the moment, my pockets are empty. However, the task of rescuing Grandmaster is a long and arduous road. I wonder if..."

As he spoke, Chen De actually blushed, looking embarrassed.

"Master, I promise, as long as my cultivation improves, I will definitely honor you and Grandmaster well."

After all, a Grandmaster is also a father!

Hearing this, Ancestor Wuguang remained silent for a while, feeling that what Chen De said made sense.

If his strength increases, it would naturally be faster and easier to rescue his master.

Therefore, Ancestor Wuguang gritted his teeth and took out all his treasures accumulated over many years.

A large amount of cultivation resources were organized into a storage device and handed to Chen De.

"Take it."

Chen De took the device and scanned the contents, instantly stunned.

With so many cultivation resources, even if he did all the meritorious deeds in the entire Wuguang Cluster Domain, he couldn't obtain this much.

With an excited heart and trembling hands, Chen De could never have imagined that his elderly master would be so generous.

It really... made him unable to wait to show his filial piety.

Chen De knelt down on the spot before Ancestor Wuguang and kowtowed three times with loud thuds.

"Master, your great kindness is unforgettable to Yan Zhi. I will definitely risk my life to rescue Grandmaster."

"Alright, alright." Ancestor Wuguang waved his hand, signaling Chen De to stop.

"Next, you should leave Wuguang Domain and go to other places to gain some experience."

Hearing this, Chen De was excited... but then struck by pain as if by lightning; even the resources in his hand didn't feel as good anymore.

His lips trembled, and tears streamed from the corners of his eyes, "Master, are you driving me away? Do you not want me anymore?"

Ancestor Wuguang shook his head, "It is not driving you away, but continuing to stay here no longer has much significance."

"Regarding martial arts, among the things I gave you, some are martial arts that my master once taught me. Take them and study them."

"Regarding resources, what I gave you is more than the entire Wuguang Hall, so you don't need any more either."

"Since that is the case, it is better to go out and gain experience; you will grow faster that way."

Chen De suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. I misunderstood Master's good intentions."

"By the way, Master, may I ask one more presumptuous question? What level is your strength at?"

Ancestor Wuguang asked in confusion, "What is it?"

For some reason, vaguely, even with his cultivation, he felt a chill.

Chen De laughed dryly, "It's nothing, I was just wondering, if I get into trouble outside in the future, should I report the sect's name, and can the sect handle it?"

Is that so?

Although Ancestor Wuguang was still a bit suspicious, he still said, "Although I have fallen to this current state, I have a way to temporarily restore myself to my peak state. At my limit, I can unleash a strike comparable to the damage of an Immortal Law Realm Seventh Transformation."

Hearing this, Chen De nodded imperceptibly, and the chill Ancestor Wuguang felt faded a bit.
