Chapter 845

“They refused to stay with me and left on their own . They told me to keep it secret,” said Wilde . He wasn’t able to lie to Long Chen .

“Those two b.a.s.t.a.r.ds, they really are asking to be slapped . ” Long Chen couldn’t help being enraged . Weren’t they just causing trouble for no reason? This was the Immemorial Path . Rank one Celestials were just cannon fodder here .

Without Wilde’s protection, if they ran into any trouble, the chances of them surviving were very low . But if they had been with Wilde, he could have given them the Heavenly Dao Fruits and have them immediately advance to rank three Celestials .

Long Chen’s expression was ugly . He looked at the two new Heavenly Dao Fruits in the primal chaos s.p.a.ce, which had come from the Blood Python expert and the Fullmoon expert . Originally, he had been full of delight . But that delight was ruined now when learned that Li Qi and Song Mingyuan had gone off on their own . Their chances of surviving in the Immemorial Path were extremely remote .

“Brother Long, Li Qi said that they couldn’t always rely on you . They want to be able to be responsible for themselves . They can’t always be holding you back . ” Seeing Long Chen’s frightening expression, Wilde only dared to open his mouth after a long moment .

Hearing this, Long Chen’s heart softened and he couldn’t help but sigh . Living in this world sometimes made him feel so helpless . On the cultivation path, no one could forever advance through other people’s help . They had to rely on themselves .

Long Chen could make it more convenient for them, but in order to grow, they needed to rely on themselves . The price of growth was often having to face death .

Their choice wasn’t wrong . Long Chen suddenly felt that the one in the wrong was him . Caring too much could instead slow down people’s progress, limiting their room for personal growth .

But although he understood that principle, he couldn’t follow it . He couldn’t watch as his brothers faced such dangers while standing completely aloof .

But from Li Qi and Song Mingyuan’s viewpoint, Long Chen treated them as his brothers, and they also treated him as their brother . When Long Chen faced countless powerful experts, when he crossed mountains of blades or seas of fire, they had to have been feeling the same thing he was feeling .

And they must have been feeling it even worse than him, because they didn’t have the power to protect him . They would feel useless, ashamed of their own inferiority .

Perhaps it had been precisely because of that torment that they had been so brazen as to ignore his orders and also bet on their own lives, looking for their own opportunities to get stronger .

Long Chen sighed . He felt so powerless, as well as angry . As he gradually got stronger, his luck got progressively worse . When he wanted treasures, he needed to put in ten or even a hundred times more effort than others .

“Senior, does karmic luck really exist?” Long Chen suddenly asked the Eastern Wasteland Bell this question . He very much wanted to know the answer .

“Of course . Geniuses are products of heaven and earth condensing their karmic luck into certain people . They are blessed by the heavens, and from birth, it is fated that their luck will be better than others . They are heaven and earth’s favorites,” replied the Eastern Wasteland Bell .

“Then what am I? The trash they picked up?” asked Long Chen .

The Eastern Wasteland Bell was silent for a moment . “In truth, you yourself should know the answer as to why your luck is so lacking . There’s no need to ask the question if you know the answer . In this case, there are many things that relate to some secrets . I can’t say them . If I did, it wouldn’t be good for you or me . All I can tell you is that it is fated that you will not be able to live off luck . You’ll have to rely on power to fight for what you get, and nothing will be given to you for free . ”

Long Chen bitterly smiled . As expected, against an existence that had existed for countless years, his thoughts were practically laid bare . No words were able to trick it into revealing information it didn’t want to give .

“Then what I want to know is, how do I kill experts that are supported by karmic luck?” asked Long Chen . He felt like he was about to go crazy . Killing those people required way too much work, and there were always all kinds of interference .

“All you need to remember is that in front of absolute power, everything else is nothing . As long as you are strong enough, you can ignore karmic luck . Think about your Barbarian friend . Just how many people could block that attack of his? So in front of overwhelming power, karmic luck is also useless . The existence known as karmic luck will only display some sort of use when two people’s power is about the same . Once the difference is too great, karmic luck isn’t able to do anything,” said the Eastern Wasteland Bell .

“Absolute power…” Long Chen’s eyes brightened . He finally understood the crux of the problem . To put it frankly, he still wasn’t strong enough . If he was so strong that he could surpa.s.s the restrictions of the Heavenly Daos, karmic luck would be nothing .

“Many thanks for your pointers, senior,” said Long Chen .

“Don’t be so courteous . To tell you the truth, I hope for you to quickly get stronger . Those two people you killed had exceptionally pure Spiritual Strength, and it was all absorbed by me . It was very helpful . ”

“Don’t worry, my enemies fill this entire world . There are so many that I can’t even kill them all,” laughed Long Chen . But that laughter was also full of helplessness .

Those arrogant idiots relied on the favoritism of the world to bully him, the unlucky b.a.s.t.a.r.d . Long Chen predicted that this opening of the Immemorial Path wouldn’t be too peaceful .

Long Chen once more chatted a bit with Wilde . Just what was that immense power he had released in that battle?

Wilde said that this was a technique he had awakened back when Cang Ming had been killed . Previously, he hadn’t realized it . But then he had encountered a terrifying Magical Beast in the Immemorial Path . In his fury, he had unconsciously grown into his giant form and killed that seventh rank Magical Beast .
