"Master …"
Xie Anan's eyes were brimming with tears, and her apple-like face was blushing.
Of his three disciples, her aptitude was the worst, and her Cultivation was the lowest. Li Yao had recruited her as his disciple because of her perseverance.
Right now, Li Yao was already satisfied that she could participate in some of the high-end magical equipment research projects. He did not expect her to become a legendary figure.
It would be good enough for her to stay in her favorite field for the rest of her life and discover and surpass her own limits.
As a refiner, Xie Anan had spent the most time with Li Yao over the past five years.
Her Cultivation was the lowest, and her emotions were the most obvious. Her reluctance to part with her master was beyond words. Holding Li Yao's sleeve, she sobbed, "Master, are you really leaving just like that?"
"Rest assured. I will be back one day!"
Li Yao felt melancholy in his heart, too, but he still pretended to be cheerful on the surface. "In several decades, or in a hundred years at most, I will certainly return in style. By then, you will only be a hundred and thirty years old. For the high-level Cultivators, it is just the beginning of their golden years. We can meet again by then!
"Anan, while I'm away, you must practice the techniques that I left for you. Don't be left behind by the two of them. Do you understand?"
"Rest assured, Master. I'll try my best!"
Xie Anan gritted her teeth and smashed her fists hard.
Half a second later, her face collapsed again. "Wu … Wu … Master, I don't want to part with you. I really don't understand why you made such a choice! In the Xing Yao Federation, you have already made a name for yourself. You have everything. Position, power, money, and strength. Whatever you want, you can get it easily. Aren't those things attractive enough for you to stay?
"What you just said is the reason why I'm leaving. Love ↑ Go ↑ Little ↑ Say ↑ Wang

After pondering for a moment, Li Yao stared at his three disciples with glittering eyes and said solemnly, "Anan, did you ever play 'house' when you were little? Or did you play board games that simulate business among your friends, such as Monopoly?"
Stunned for a moment, Xie Anan nodded. "Of course I have."
Li Yao smiled and continued, "When you were playing house, of course you played all kinds of roles. You even played the role of a princess, right? When you played Monopoly, you must have made a lot of money and become a billionaire, a winner in life, right? "
Xie Anan nodded again in a daze.
Li Yao looked at her and said, "Then why don't you continue to play now?"
Xie Anan frowned and blurted out, "Is — is there a reason? It's because I've grown up. Those games are no longer interesting to me."
Li Yao nodded and said, "What if I tell you that, for me, the title of 'Ultra-Level Federal Hero' is like how you were called 'Princess' when you were playing house when you were a child, and the wealth that the Glorious Sunlight Group, the Double Dragons Union, and Skyfire bring is like the billions of dollars that you earned when you played games such as' Monopoly '? Will you be able to understand my decision then?"
Xie Anan was dazed. She was deep in thought together with Jin Xinyue and Wu Mayan.
"It is often said that Cultivators are pure of heart and few desires. They do not know how to enjoy the thousands of temptations in the mortal world. Instead, they seek the most mysterious truths of the Great Dao!"
Li Yao sighed and said slowly, "Before I reached my level, I had such doubts, too. I thought that 'transcendence' was just bullsh * t. If a Cultivator does not know how to enjoy the mortal world and abandons wealth and sensual pleasures as if they were shoes, would such a Cultivator be any different from a eunuch?
"It was not until I reached such a level that I realized that the so-called Cultivators were not 'desireless' at all. On the contrary, our desires were a hundred times, a thousand times, or even ten thousand times more intense than those of ordinary people. We were practically 'hungry' and 'thirsty'. We pursued, burned, and swallowed everything we could without resorting to any means!
"However, our desires are no longer something that can be satisfied with money, wine, and power in the mortal world."
"It's just like Anan. Your desires cannot be satisfied by the title of 'princess' when you are playing house. They cannot be satisfied by the wealth in the game 'Monopoly'!
"If a bunch of kids invite you to play house with them and are willing to give you the most splendid titles such as princess, queen, fairy, and so on, and play 'Monopoly' with you and give you all their money and real estate, I'm afraid that you will find the game boring and uninteresting, too, won't you?
"In the eyes of those children, they naturally think that you are 'pure and indifferent to fame and fortune'. You, on the other hand, sincerely despise the things that they regard as treasures and have been pursuing with all their might."
"Only you know that you have long surpassed the realm of these children. Of course, you have desires, pursuits, and dreams. But what you want is playing house and playing 'Monopoly.' That will never be given to you."
"No matter how greedy a robber is, he wouldn't rob a toy note from Monopoly with a child, right? It's the same logic!
"How can they be the same?"
Xie Anan said in a hurry, "Playing house and 'Monopoly' are both fake, but our world is real! Being a 'queen' in playing house is the same as being a Speaker of the Federation in real life! How can they be the same? "
"They are the same. Neither of them can satisfy my appetite and desires."
Li Yao smiled. With the brilliance of greed beaming out of his eyes, he mumbled, "So what if I am a Speaker of the Federation?
"The Federation has been established for five hundred years, and there have been sixty to seventy Speakers. In the next five hundred years, there will be another sixty to seventy Speakers.
"Even if I become a Speaker of the Federation, I will only be one of the hundred or so people.
"The Xing Yao Federation, on the other hand, is just a small country at the edge of the cosmos. In the three thousand Sectors, how many Speakers, prime ministers, presidents, and even emperors have there been in the past ten thousand years?
"Thousands? Tens of thousands? More than a hundred thousand?
"Being one of the hundred thousand people and repeating the 'great feats' that all of them have achieved, is such a life enough to satisfy me? What a joke! "
Xie Anan, Wu Mayan, and Jin Xinyue were all greatly moved.
They didn't expect that their master would be so ambitious!
"Then, what is it that you are pursuing, Master?"
The three of them asked at the same time respectfully.
Confusion beamed out of Li Yao's eyes at first, but it soon turned into intense excitement. He smiled and said, "I don't know. The universe is too vast and splendid. I don't know what kind of splendid and interesting things will be at the end of the universe, either! Therefore, I can't tell what I am pursuing. I can only broaden my horizons step by step and make sure that what I am pursuing is not something. That's all. "
Pausing for a moment, Li Yao held the back of his head with his hands and leaned back in his chair. He smiled and said, "This is perhaps the most interesting thing about 'Cultivators', isn't it?"
There were only three days before Li Yao's departure.
He held a grand party in Floating Spear City and summoned all his closest friends to say goodbye to them.
Professor Mo Xuan, Fiend Blade Peng Hai, 'Solar Eclipse' Jiang Shaoyang, and Meng Jiang from the Xing Yao Federation, Fire Ant from the Blood Demon Sector, and Xiong Wuji, Lei Dalu, and Bai Kaixin from the Flying Star Sector all came to the party.
"Li Yao, you didn't give me a chance after all!"
Professor Mo Xuan smiled bitterly. "I knew that you would make such a choice!"
"I'm sorry, Master!"
Li Yao laughed. "I can compromise on anything, but I won't compromise on anything when it comes to the great path!"
"Li Yao, I'm going to take advantage of you now!"
'Solar Eclipse' Jiang Shaoyang said, his eyes glittering. "You are in the hibernation state, and your training progress is extremely slow. You are almost at a standstill. But I will soar in the next hundred years. You will definitely be no match for me in a hundred years!"
"That will be for the best!"
Li Yao licked his lips and grinned. "I'll let you train yourself for a hundred years first. Then, we'll have a competition!"
"Li Yao, just leave the Flying Star Sector to us. Rest assured!"
Lei Dalu and Bai Kaixin patted their chests and said.
Ever since Li Yao soared in the Flying Star Sector, the Great Horn Exo Society had been developing rapidly, too.
At first, they cooperated with the Glorious Sunlight Group and contracted most of the transportation business between Iron Plateau and the outside world. Then, they took the opportunity to develop trade routes between the Heaven's Origin Sector, the Flying Star Sector, and the Blood Demon Sector.
In the end, the Great Horn Exo Society and the Glorious Sunlight Group were merged. Lei Dalu and Bai Kaixin became the core management of the Glorious Sunlight Group.
Right now, Lei Dalu was in charge of the armed transportation business of the Great Horn Exo Society, and Bai Kaixin was slowly taking over the core business operations of the Glorious Sunlight Group.
It was not because Li Yao did not trust the members of the Wu family who used to run the Glorious Sunlight Group, but because Bai Kaixin, who had inherited all the wisdom and wisdom of 'Pirate Potentate' Bai Xinghe, boasted rare talents in management and operation. A small Great Horn Exo Society was not enough for him to carry out all his ambitions. The moment he joined the Glorious Sunlight Group, he immediately distinguished himself like a tiger that had broken free from its shackles!
Li Yao, Lei Dalu, and Bai Kaixin were all friends who had gone through life-and-death situations. It was only natural that he asked Bai Kaixin to take charge of the Glorious Sunlight Group.
"Everyone."
Li Yao raised his cup and looked at the familiar faces in front of him.
His best friends who had been his partners, his mentors who had taught him everything, his seniors who had shown him the mysteries of the world of Cultivators for the first time, his comrades who had fought side by side with him, and even his competitors in the past all made him have a lot of mixed feelings.
"Let's … meet again in a hundred years!"
Li Yao raised his head and drank up the cup! (To be continued.)
