Chapter 776 - 542: Seeking Change! (3)
"I shall remember Master Chen’s teachings."
After breakfast, a few people sat for a while longer in the dining hall.
Jiang Ming occasionally talked about the martial arts legacy of the small town or asked for clarification on some questions about blood cultivation, which Chen Sheng answered succinctly yet eloquently, enlightening Jiang Ming greatly.
Zhou Yang remained silent, only raising his eyes slightly when Chen Sheng spoke.
Before long, Chen Sheng glanced out the window at the sun, got up slowly, his expression still calm:
"Alright, enough idle chatter, I must leave now."
"This visit was merely passing through to see you. I have a mech seminar in the afternoon that I cannot delay."
Jiang Ming hurriedly got up, a hint of reluctance flashed in his eyes, and he whispered:
"Master Chen, won’t you stay for half a day more? I still wish to learn more from you about martial arts and mechs."
Chen Sheng gently shook his head:
"No need. There will be other opportunities in the future."
"Understood."
Jiang Ming did not insist further, saying respectfully:
"I’ll see Master Chen off."
Chen Sheng did not refuse, slightly nodded, and turned to walk outside the martial arts hall.
Zhou Yang quickly followed, striding to Chen Sheng’s side, and whispered:
"Teacher, the car is ready."
"Hmm."
Chen Sheng replied faintly, steps measured, expression serene.
Jiang Ming accompanied them, matching their pace, occasionally softly reminding:
"Take care on your journey, Master Chen; the road is long, don’t overexert yourself."
Chen Sheng’s tone was flat:
"Hmm."
As they exited the martial arts hall, the black military off-road vehicle was already waiting at the entrance, its presence solemn and austere, quietly parked in the morning light.
Jiang Ming quickly stepped forward, personally pulled open the car door for Chen Sheng:
"Please get in the car, Master Chen."
Chen Sheng bent down, got into the car, and after taking his seat, looked up at Jiang Ming and said calmly:
"Go back, devote yourself to cultivation, I await your return to seek me out."
Jiang Ming nodded:
"Understood."
Zhou Yang directly moved to the driver’s seat, swiftly settled down, slightly turned his body, nodded slightly at Jiang Ming, and said in a solemn tone:
"Brother Jiang, farewell."
"Brother Zhou, take care."
Jiang Ming slightly nodded, watching as the off-road vehicle slowly started, its engine humming low and steady, gradually receding until it disappeared at the end of the street.
His heart surged with emotion, Master Chen’s words echoed continuously in his mind:
"In the universe, many planets have star gods; the red moon is just the closest to us."
He placed his foot upon the earth.
In an instant, a peculiar sense of unity of heaven and man quietly surfaced in his heart.
He seemed to establish an invisible connection with the earth beneath him and this planet, being able to clearly feel the pulses of the earth, sense the circulation between heaven and earth.
Ambition filled his heart:
"I, the god of this planet!"
...
On the other side.
The black military off-road vehicle smoothly moved along the street, silence pervading the car.
Zhou Yang sat upright in the driver’s seat, eyes focused on the road ahead, hands gripping the steering wheel firmly, saying nothing.
Chen Sheng leaned back on the rear seat, eyes slightly closed, seemingly lost in thought, mused in his heart:
"That Jiang Ming kid has a commendable mindset, encountering a sudden change yesterday yet remaining so calm today, quite rare indeed."
"However, star gods..."
Chen Sheng shook his head slightly.
The so-called star gods were merely akin to the innate sacred beings of the old Panwu realm, perhaps even lacking.
His cultivation of the innate blood path was infinitely mysterious, far surpassing the former Panwu Dharma Seeds.
The innate sacred beings of the Panwu realm were born at the dawn of heaven and earth, wielding partial divine authority.
Yet these star gods, upon their birth, were plunged into daoization, their intelligence chaotic and muddled.
"Jiang Ming this kid, having gained the core essence of this planet, step by step unifying with the planet, has the potential to become a perfect star god, breaking free from daoization, wielding partial divine authority of this world."
"However, if he continues down this path, that’s all there is."
"Eternally confined to this world, limited by the essence, unable to comprehend his own law."
"I hope Jiang Ming this kid gives me a surprise."
Chen Sheng gently shook his head, a faint trace of expectation swept across his eyes.
He raised his gaze, his eyes landing on Zhou Yang seated at the driver’s seat, thoughts crossing his mind:
"Yesterday’s blood lotus planting nearly depleted all the inspiration I gained from this world, the follow-up being merely planting more blood lotuses, without fundamental change."
"I need more inspiration, a new breakthrough."
Chen Sheng closed his eyes in contemplation:
"Variables! Only variables can break the deadlock, giving birth to more miracles."
With a thought, Chen Sheng’s will transcended into the river of life, worlds one after another, like a revolving lantern, appeared before his eyes.
