571 About the Future (2/2)

”More than a hundred years, it has indeed been too long.”

”Therefore, Senior Brother, what are you planning to do?” Wang Wu said, and then in a flash, she had already returned back to Wang Lu. Her curious eyes looked at him, looking forward to his answer.

Wang Lu was silent for a while and then sighed. ”From now on, don't call me Senior Brother. My time as your Senior Brother has already long ended one hundred and fifty years ago. And more than twenty years ago, I did give you the Disciple-Master salute.”

”Okay.” Wang Wu was not surprised by this answer.

In her impression, although the Big Brother had a mouth that was a bit vicious, and there were occasionally breaks in character… after the reincarnation, there had been a considerable change to that of what he was in the past. However, one thing remained unchanged: Know when to advance and retreat.

Of course, it was a bit awkward to call it as knowing when to advance and when to retreat. However, Senior Brother was indeed very genuine when dealing with his own people.

Yes, he was the Big Brother of that year's golden generation, the savior for all the survivors, and the top rank person with exceptional achievement. However, more than a hundred years have passed.

If she gave out the reincarnation identity of the Big Brother, how should Feng Yin and the others respond to this? When the time comes, it was basically an unsolvable difficult problem!

Hand over the position of Sect Leader?

Not to mention the fact that the progress made by Spirit Sword Sect from the time of near extinction crisis to the present contained a lot of hardworking effort of the ten people in Heavenly Sword Hall, let alone the pressure for the sect because of the sensation created by the fact that a leader of one of the Five Uniques was handed over to a Jindan Stage cultivator... And from Wang Lu's own point of view, he did not feel that it would be a good thing to take over the authority of the Sect Leader. Currently, he was still in the fastest period of cultivation, so it was best for him to just focus on experience and cultivation.

Then, if not mentioning the Sect Leader position, should Wang Lu be directly be promoted as an Elder of Heavenly Sword Hall, so that he could enjoy his high status? That was still not feasible. When the time where the Heavenly Sword Hall Elders convene to a meeting came, with his past prestige, who would dare to object Wang Lu's words? That level of authority was no less than that of the Sect Leader.

And if they didn't do anything about it, just let Wang Lu keep his lead disciple position… when the sect meeting came, and Wang Lu have to perform the respect to the Elders ritual, except for Wang Wu who was different from ordinary people, who would dare to accept it? Who would dare to treat him as a disciple?

The prestige of the previous generation's Big Brother was actually a very cumbersome thing, such that he might not as well have it. Therefore, Wang Lu simply didn't want to disclose it.

Wang Wu said, ”But, this wouldn't be hidden for long. Sooner or later, everyone would find out. After you came back from the demon world, your temperament… is becoming more and more like that of you in the past.”

”It doesn't matter. As long as I don't say it, they can't confirm it, and they won't take the initiative to confirm it. Moreover… the root of the problem is that my strength is still not enough, still not worthy of the illustrious name of Big Brother. And the gap between me and you all is actually more than one hundred years, but with my lifetime accumulation, once erupted, it would just be a matter of minutes to catch up with you all.”

As soon as he spoke those words, Wang Lu unconsciously shrugged his shoulders. Because saying this kind of words in front of Wang Wu would almost certainly invite a ridicule retort from her: With Void Spirit root yet after cultivating for twenty years only resulted in reaching Jindan Stage, yet still have the face to say 'erupted'? In the past few years, there were many times this topic came up in their quarrel in Non-Phase Peak, with the same kind of ridicule retort from her.

However, this time, Wang Wu actually nodded gently. ”Okay, I look forward to it.”

Wang Wu's back was facing him, so he couldn't see her face clearly. However, Wang Lu always felt that her so-called 'look forward' was not just about his vigorous advancement in cultivation base, but about being able to become the omnipotent Big Brother once again. But then… when he thought of this, Wang Lu couldn't help but feel awkward.

After that, there were no words coming out from the two of them.

There were too many problems that the two of them needed to think about. For example, for Wang Lu, he felt that Ouyang Shang's two crossings in the infinite void were not just for survival. After returning to Nine Regions in his second crossing, it was no coincidence that he had the Void Spirit Root qualification. Unfortunately, he did not fully inherit the memory of Ouyang Shang—it seemed like it was an inevitable loss in the void crossing—therefore, many things could only be understood by guessing. At present, according to Wang Lu's view, it was likely related to the providence thing.

He remembered that Mr. Feng Yue seemed to have said that the providence of Nine Regions was just a joke to him. At that time, the golden generation similarly had each of their own providence, and it was reasonable to say that each of them was a very talented person who had the luck of a main character, like finding a rare book after jumping over a cliff kind of luck. Yet, in the midst of that crisis, nearly all of them were killed and wounded. On the contrary, Wang Wu, who had no such providence, actually survived.

The reason for this was obviously not quite simple. But unfortunately, currently, it was still elusive. But no matter what, with his current Jindan Stage cultivation base, it was useless for him to ponder it. If he really wanted to fight against the Fallen Immortal, he needed to continue to follow this current immortal cultivation path, no time for him to talk until he at least reached Deity Stage.

After nobody knows how long, Wang Lu finally broke the silence.

”Enough reminiscing about the past, let's first finish this immortal dreamland.”
