Chapter 1398
<hr>
Just as Long Chen gathered the Dragonblood Legion, Li Tianxuan came to find him . He gravely warned, “Think carefully about this . That place is like a pool of muddy water . It involves many things . ”
Long Chen was startled . He couldn’t figure out what exactly Li Tianxuan was saying . An entrance to the Spirit World had been opened, and adventurers had already gone to test their luck . How was it a pool of muddy water?
If he said that it was dangerous, that would make sense . But a pool of muddy water? That was dumbfounding .
“Let him go . ” The Xuantian Tower’s voice rang out .
“But senior…”
“There’s nothing to say . Long Chen is well aware that that place is dangerous . Since he wants to go, it means he has his reasons . Since you’ve decided to let go, you should let go completely!”
Li Tianxuan’s expression was helpless, while Long Chen’s expression was questioning . It seemed they knew something but refused to tell him .
Once Long Chen left, Li Tianxuan stood in the Xuantian Tower . The Xuantian Tower’s ancient voice rang out once more .
“From the Eastern Wasteland to the Central Plains, Long Chen has never walked the common path . Even if you told him everything, you wouldn’t change his decision . Instead, you would simply draw karma to yourself . In my eyes, that is very foolish . ”
“But senior, the Spirit World involves so many different things . Once Long Chen enters…”
“No one can control Long Chen’s fate . No one is qualified to guide him down his path . Since you’ve chosen to leave the Xuantian Dao Sect’s fate to him, you should give him free rein . Sometimes speaking is an instinct, while not speaking is the truly wise choice . ” The Xuantian Tower’s voice was completely calm as if this was an extremely minor affair .
“Disciple was foolish . Thank you for your guidance . ” Li Tianxuan took a deep breath .
“Your concern caused your thoughts to become muddled . You’ve lost your initial transcendent att.i.tude . When you decided to give the Xuantian Dao Sect to Long Chen, you were someone outside the game . But once you left it to him, you became someone inside the game . The viewpoints between the two are immense . People inside the game see a mountain as a mountain, water as water . But people outside the game know a mountain is not just a mountain, and water is not just water . ”
A spark of comprehension appeared in Li Tianxuan’s eyes, and he knelt on the ground, respectfully saying, “Many thanks for your guidance, senior . ”
The Xuantian Tower had been the divine item of the Xuantian Dao Sect’s patriarch . Even the Xuan Master had to call themself disciple in front of it .
“There’s no need to thank me . If you want to thank someone, thank Long Chen, or perhaps the High Priest of the Wine G.o.d Palace . It was his wine that allowed your mental realm to rise to an unprecedented height, while I just gave you some slight guidance . You’ve reached the peak of Life Star and can enter the Netherworld whenever you want . But the Xuantian Dao Sect still needs you for now . Your master is at a critical juncture, so you can’t attempt to break through . ”
“I know . ” Li Tianxuan nodded .
“As for Long Chen’s matter, don’t bother with him . Just keep the att.i.tude of a spectator . The lines of fate are in chaos, and the world is about to change . You are not this era’s main character, so being a spectator isn’t necessarily something bad,” said the Xuantian Tower .
“Could it be that even if I entered the Netherpa.s.sage realm, I still wouldn’t be able to play a leading role in this era?” Li Tianxuan bitterly smiled .
“Child, with your talent as an acquired rank nine Celestial who is qualified to attack the Netherpa.s.sage realm in just eight hundred years, you can already count as a genius . However, this stage is not for you . So, just be content as a spectator!”
“Alright, I’ll listen to you . I’ll be a spectator,” said Li Tianxuan helplessly .
Li Tianxuan was over eight hundred years old, but for Life Star experts, a single round of seclusion might last over a hundred years or several hundred years . So, he was actually very young .
The other heavenly geniuses in the same generation as him had all slowly fallen or been thrown so far behind that they would never catch up . Recently, he had touched the door to the Netherpa.s.sage realm, and so a compet.i.tive drive had been ignited in him again .
Based on the Xuantian Tower’s words, even if he reached that realm, he would still just be a spectator . That was quite the blow .
However, the Xuantian Tower was the first generation patriarch’s divine item . Li Tianxuan felt great reverence for it .
“Then should the Reincarnation Mirror be sent to escort Long Chen?” asked Li Tianxuan .
This time, the Xuantian Tower didn’t bother answering . Li Tianxuan couldn’t help but blush, and he hastily said, “Disciple knows his mistake . ”
…
“Boss, when did you get such an amazing flying boat?” Guo Ran excitedly cried out as he drove the flying boat . This was thousands of times better than any flying boat he had ever driven .
The entire Dragonblood Legion was on the flying boat . But this time, Long Chen only brought the Dragonblood Legion . He hadn’t brought Hua s.h.i.+yu, Zhao Ziyan, and the others .
He had noticed that they were slightly different from the Dragonblood warriors . That was because they had originally been peak heavenly geniuses, and they lacked a kind of determination to press forward even in the face of death .
