587: powerful arithmetic

Thus, Chen De subsequently influenced two more domains, restoring himself to his peak state.

Now, he could go find his master, Ancestor Wuguang, to have a "reasonable discussion."

After all, a teacher for a day is a father for life, so he was practically his own father.

Having reached the doorstep, it would be truly unjustifiable not to go back and take a look.

Moreover, he needed to gain a detailed understanding of the Tian Zhao Sect and Ancestor Wuguang's Sword Immortal Master... Wuguang Domain, the place of Ancestor Wuguang's secluded cultivation.

Seated there, Ancestor Wuguang slowly opened his eyes; no joy or anger could be seen on his wrinkled face.

"You have come."

He looked at the figure before him that seemed to be melting, his gaze calm.

"What is it, disciple? Now that you have returned, you no longer recognize your master?"

Meanwhile, one hand of that figure was already about to touch the space between his brows.

Seeing him wake up, the figure re-condensed into human form, but it was not the appearance of Yan Zhi.

"Who is your disciple? You must have the wrong person."

Ancestor Wuguang shook his head. "No, I have not mistaken you. You are my disciple. Should I address you as Yan Zhi?"

Upon hearing this, the figure transformed back into Yan Zhi's appearance. Chen De gave a sheepish laugh. "Master, you are truly impressive. I originally wanted to play a game of 'guess who I am,' but you guessed it was me right away. By the way, Master, how did you do it? How did you guess it was me so instantly?"

"And also, it seems you knew I was coming long ago. Logically speaking, you shouldn't have been able to detect me."

To this, Ancestor Wuguang's answer was, "I did not detect you, nor did I guess. I simply knew that some things would happen at this time."

"And the person doing all this is my disciple. I only have one disciple."

Chen De did not quite believe this answer. "Master, are you joking?"

"I remember telling you that I once met a powerful expert who was highly skilled in Arithmetic. From him, I learned a great deal."

Ancestor Wuguang spoke with extreme calm, as if everything he said had nothing to do with him.

The other's posture of waiting for him like this made Chen De feel very uneasy. "How much do you know?"

"Very little about you. It was mainly about me, with only a portion concerning you."

Ancestor Wuguang's answer remained vague.

Chen De pressed further, "For example?"

"For example, you ascended from a Lower Plane." Ancestor Wuguang exposed Chen De's origin in a single sentence.

Chen De's pupils constricted. Someone actually knew about his ascension.

The path of Arithmetic was indeed formidable!

Then... what about the Evil God Essence?

At this thought, Chen De immediately felt his heart sink, followed by an endless surge of goodwill.

He said calmly, "And so?"

This time, Ancestor Wuguang smiled. "And so you are going to kill me, right?"

"Sigh." Chen De let out a pained sigh. "A teacher for a day is a father for life. I originally just wanted to come back and see you. I didn't expect... sigh!"

"Haha!"

Ancestor Wuguang laughed heartily. "Actually, regardless of whether I knew or not, you came to kill me this time. Unless you couldn't defeat me, you wouldn't give up the thought of killing me. Those outside have all been killed by you, haven't they? I should be the last one."

"Fine then. Since Master does not believe me, I have nothing more to say."

As he spoke, a pitch-black blade had appeared in Chen De's hand at some unknown point.

"Master, please forgive my offense!"

To be honest, Chen De really did just want to see Ancestor Wuguang this time. After all, this was his master; wasn't it only right to show some filial piety?

Unfortunately, his master knew too much, which would be extremely disadvantageous for him.

Chen De himself didn't care; he would even give his life to his master if needed.

But the burden on his shoulders was too heavy; the fate of all living beings in the world rested on him alone.

Therefore, he could not die, which meant only Ancestor Wuguang could.

This killing did not violate his morality; instead, it was an act of sacrificing family for the sake of righteousness, further reflecting Chen De's noble character.

Although he didn't know why the secret hadn't been spread, it didn't matter anymore. He would naturally know everything shortly.

He had originally thought this was someone he could kill in an instant, but after their exchange, Chen De increasingly felt that he was not simple.

So, for the sake of caution, it was better to strike with full force.

Moreover, Chen De remembered Ancestor Wuguang saying he could recover his combat power for a short time, even unleashing a strike comparable to the Immortal Law Realm Seventh Transformation.

So at the very beginning, he had chosen to quietly show his 'filial piety' and be done with it.

But since Ancestor Wuguang knew so much, he had to take him down today even if he had to pay a certain price.

But before he could strike, Ancestor Wuguang's body actually began to disintegrate spontaneously.

He knew that falling into Chen De's hands would inevitably lead to a fate worse than death.

Rather than being unable to live or die when the time came, it was better to give himself a quick end.

Additionally, he had long known he would die today; that expert proficient in Arithmetic had told him so.

Chen De did not have the ability to bring the dead back to life, and combined with his wariness of Ancestor Wuguang and the fact that he completely failed to anticipate the suicide...

The situation was sudden, so Chen De didn't have time to take any measures.

However, in the place where Ancestor Wuguang disappeared, a light orb was left behind.

After a series of checks to ensure there was no danger, Chen De had one of his clones hold it.

It turned out that this was actually the essence of Ancestor Wuguang's lifelong cultivation, along with a portion of his memories.

Was doing all this just to help him?

Again, after countless years, no one had ever loved him like this.

Today, someone who loved him suddenly popped up, and it was even an old fox among old foxes.

Undoubtedly, he might have fallen into some kind of scheme.

He just didn't know about the System's existence... This was an unavoidable question. Now it seemed that some things might be coming to the surface.

These were not things he could face now, nor did he even know them, so Chen De stopped thinking about it.

The priority was still to take every current step well and strive to improve his strength.

Furthermore, this time he had forcibly tried to peer into memories that had been restricted by a Saint Pole Realm or perhaps even a Divine Tribulation Realm expert, only to be instantly killed and returned here.

In other words, the other party's Arithmetic also involved a Saint Pole Realm or Divine Tribulation Realm expert.

In this way, the difficulty of Arithmetic, variables, and the number of factors... could be said to have risen sharply.

And since even his own resurrection could be calculated, it was highly likely that his identity had already been figured out.

If such power were used against Chen De, he would absolutely be unable to withstand it.

"Hahahahahahahahaha!"

As he thought, Chen De suddenly burst into loud laughter.

"Interesting!"

"This is what makes it interesting!"

Regardless, he was originally a dead man who was lucky enough to transmigrate here.

His intention was to benefit all living beings; for this goal, what did it matter even if he died on the way?"
