571 About the Future (1/2)
The fresh scent that gradually swayed between the lips was memorable.
Wang Lu gently touched his lips and then subconsciously smiled.
These almost the same words and kiss caused the memories of the two generations to intertwine. The figure of the beautiful woman in front of him had also become blurred.
In a trance, he seemed to see ()that Junior Sister who was crying in his arms, fearing for the future. In his heart, there was an endless desire to protect her at all cost.
However, when he came to his senses, the woman in white had already stood on top of the hill with a newly picked bamboo branch at her waist. Facing the sun, the light cast on her stretched her infinitely beautiful body.
The setting sun created a long shadow behind her, which was long and narrow. And her shadow, which was connected with that of the hill under her feet, was extended to the front of his feet. Looking up, Wang Wu seemed to be high in the clouds, in the midst of fiery sunset.
After more than hundred years, the delicate and timid Young Junior Sister had grown into the Fifth Elder of Spirit Sword Sect, the number one Jindan in Nine Regions. Even his own cultivation was handed down from her.
This could be expressed so accurately by a sentence ”the world still stays the same but the people has completely changed.
”I... am already not the previous me.”
On top of the hill, Wang Wu's voice was clearly transmitted to his ears.
”Remember that time, in the Savage Land, you asked me to live happily regardless of what, no matter if it was one hundred years, two hundred years. Then, you promised that you will come back. Later on, you really did it, but 150 years has already been passed, and how many 150-years could one have? Of course, I don't blame you for coming too late, I just want to say, everything is already not the same.”
Wang Lu, of course, knew that everything was already not the same. But he also knew that what Wang Wu wanted to say was not really that.
”At that time, I once asked you why you chose me and you said a lot of things. Those good words need not be mentioned now. But, I remember very clearly that you said my biggest problem is lack of responsibility, because I was not interested in everything around me, not in the least bit concerned. However, I had to do my best to keep up with the progress of my Senior Brothers and Sisters with my meager spirit root, so where could I have the time to think about other things? Afterward, you handed me your inheritance, and it made me feel as if I was imbued with wisdom, and my perception greatly increased. My spirit root was also elevated by a level. All of these developments could truly open my eyes, just as I am now.”
Wang Wu said as she lightly tapped the ground with her foot and flew straight toward the sky like an arrow, leaving behind the hill under her. Nobody knows how long it took, and Wang Lu's Jindan Stage vision could no longer see her.
In Nine Regions, there was a bone-wrenching strong wind on the high altitude. The higher the altitude, the stronger the wind was, just like an indestructible barrier. It was said that at the highest altitude, the strong wind could not even be resisted by a true immortal. Of course, Wang Wu was far below a true immortal, but the scenery that she could appreciate was certainly far better than that of most people.
”Senior Brother, guess what I am currently seeing now?”
Wang Lu remained silent for a while and did not answer her.
His vision at this time certainly could not be compared to that of the number one Jindan in Nine Regions. However, as the main witness to the crisis that nearly brought Spirit Sword Sect down one hundred and fifty years ago, no one knew about the crisis of Fallen Immortal better than him. And the clearer his mind was about this thing, the heavier his heart became.
”One hundred and fifty years ago, it was you, Senior Brother, who supported the situation. Although you were just an insignificant Daoist Master of Jindan Stage, by the strength of your leadership, you temporarily resolved the big crisis that could spread to the whole territory of Nine Regions. I've seen many Nine Regions' heroes in the past one hundred and fifty years, but no one can match you. But what I have received is your inheritance, and also your responsibility. I don't know what I can achieve in the big turbulence in the future with my ability, but Senior Brother, please believe me, I, your Junior Sister, have not been lazy in the past one hundred and fifty years…”
Wang Lu thought about her daily routine in Non-Phase Peak, and found it hard to accept the conclusion that she had never been lazy. However, considering the fact that she was, after all, a woman, if he turned a deaf ear to her words… he could barely think her words counted.
Moreover, from another point of view, she really did well. Among the Elders of Heavenly Sword Hall, although her stage was the lowest, her actual combat ability was firmly at the forefront. And in Nine Regions, she could be considered as an expert. What does this mean? Those who were at the same level as her like the Supremes the level of peak Deity and Unity Stage, or those who could reach Deity and Unity Stage, were basically the present age geniuses with exceptional aptitude and perception. And those guys' cultivation time was almost no less than five hundred years.
But how long had Wang Wu been cultivating? Not even half of that of their time!
Of course, Feng Yin and the others were also not simple. They inherited the inheritance of the golden generation, and in less than two hundred years of cultivation time, they would become the top experts in Nine Regions, which could be rated as an unbelievably amazing achievement no matter if compared with those cultivators in the past or now. At that time, in the time of calamity, Spirit Sword Sect was able to stay among the Five Uniques by relying on their exceptionally amazing meritorious deed in wiping out the Fallen Immortal, and now, Spirit Sword Sect retained their very high prestige even just by the name of Heavenly Sword Hall.
Everyone did not waste time. Just as he thought of this, he then thought of his peak Jindan Stage cultivation level with an unstable base, and Wang Lu could only smile bitterly.
