The two of them said their goodbyes on the stone pagoda. Lou Xiaoyi finally knew what had happened in the dome during the fifty years he hadn't been in Xuanyuan, as well as the aftermath of the Peacock Palace incident.
To tell the truth, he was very satisfied!
Yan Cheng knew what he was thinking. "Are you very satisfied? You don't have to be the eldest senior brother anymore? You can go out freely and have fun without having to take on any responsibilities? "
Lou Xiaoyi wanted to deny it, but he couldn't hold back his laughter. In front of this senior sister, he didn't need to hide anything.
Nothing could make him happier than this news. He wasn't cut out to be the eldest senior brother! He was extremely repulsed by it!
In terms of strength alone, fifty years ago, he was already the eldest senior brother of the Xuanyuan Foundation Establishment cultivators, so there was no need to mention him now. Although everyone was improving, no one had improved as much as he had!
But this didn't mean that he liked being the eldest senior brother. Some people might say that this kind of mentality meant that he didn't have any responsibilities, but he didn't care!
He didn't like giving orders, ordering people around, leading people, and responding to a single call … He liked to live his own simple life! Doing what he needed to do, taking on the dangers and running errands, he was free and unfettered in this world. This was the cultivation life he truly yearned for.
As for being wronged? Bright Snow? What's the big deal? Personal reputation was worthless in front of the sect's interests and the general trend of cultivation. He understood this principle! If one's strength didn't reach a certain level, one shouldn't think about absolute fairness. Sometimes, unfairness could also bring benefits …
For example, he had been taken to the fifth ring. Were there more benefits or disadvantages? For example, he had been misunderstood and taken into the Peacock Plume's space. Only he knew what he had gained. If everyone had believed him back then, there wouldn't have been a request for the Peacock Plume's help. Naturally, there wouldn't have been any of this later!
And then, the problem of his cultivation still couldn't be solved! Reverse the universe's space? Dream on!
Fortune and misfortune came hand in hand. If each misfortune could bring a different blessing, then Lou Xiaoyi might not be able to withstand each misfortune without dying!
It was best to quit while he was ahead!
"Who's the current Eldest Senior Brother?" Lou Xiaoyi needed to figure it out.
Smoky sighed. In fact, she didn't want Lou Xiaoyi to be the Eldest Senior Brother, but it was selfish. The ordinary Lou Xiaoyi made her feel closer to him. Since her friend was unhappy, why must she force him to do something he didn't like?
"Right now, the Foundation Establishment cultivator leading the Dome Peak is Senior Brother Guang Hua of the Inner Sword. However, the Outer Sword is still led by Second Senior Brother and the others. Recently, there haven't been any outstanding newcomers, nor are there any freaks!
I reckon that if you go back, Senior Brother Guang Hua's position won't change. But in the Outer Sword Sect, although you don't have the title of Eldest Senior Brother, you definitely have the strength of Eldest Senior Brother. This can't be run away. The scene of the battle between the Outer Sword Sect and the Outer Sword Sect is not something that can be easily forgotten.
Most importantly, you've always firmly occupied the eleventh position in the five-ring Foundation Establishment ranking. Even the Outer Sword is proud of you! "
Lou Xiaoyi smiled bitterly. He knew that some things couldn't be done just because one wanted to. Where one's strength was, where one's ranking was, one couldn't blend in with the ordinary crowd!
Smoky asked with concern, "Are you going back to the Dome Peak now? Little Yi, since some things can't be avoided, then there's no need to. Anyway, you're famous for being lazy in the Outer Sword Sect. It doesn't matter if you're lazy. Since the sect feels that they owe you and you're no longer the Eldest Senior Brother to outsiders, there shouldn't be so many problems! To be honest, your ability to cause trouble is a headache for many Uncle-Masters! "
Lou Xiaoyi smiled and said sincerely, "Senior Sister, thank you for your concern. You've been waiting for me here for decades. You've even prepared a bathtub. Only now do I have the chance …"
Smoky's long, shapely eyebrows rose. This person could always make a good meaning sound vulgar.
Lou Xiaoyi chuckled. "I won't tell others where I'm going, but to Senior Sister, I have to live up to that breathtaking glance …"
He nimbly dodged Smoky's fist. "I'm not going back to the Dome Peak. There's no point. My destination is Fish Leaping Cliff. I ask Senior Sister to keep it a secret for now, including that big mouth of Yan Bo's!"
Smoky stopped punching as she realized something. "You're not going back to the Dome Peak? Fish Leaping Cliff? You're crazy! Don't tell me you're going there thinking … What's the point? What are you trying to prove? You don't want to be the Eldest Senior Brother, but your actions make it so that no one in the Dome Peak would dare to take the Eldest Senior Brother's position.
That's not you, Lou Xiaoyi, who's just waiting to die! "
Lou Xiaoyi sighed. He reached out and took out a broken sword from his storage ring. "Senior Sister, do you recognize this?"
Of course Smoky recognized it. "This is Senior Brother Guang Bei's broken sword. Little Yi, you …"
Lou Xiaoyi nodded. "Yes, this is Senior Brother Guang Bei's broken sword. You know, Senior Brother Guang Bei's greatest wish when he was alive was to stab his sword into Fish Leaping Cliff!
Now that he's gone, I'll fulfill this wish for him! This was the goal I set for myself at Wolf Ridge. Now, I feel that it's time to fulfill it!
Senior Sister, you also know that I hate being bound by certain things. But once there's a wish, I'll definitely fulfill it! "
Smoky looked at him as if she was looking at a monster. "Little Yi! I also know Senior Brother Guang Bei's wish! But his wish was to stab his sword into Fish Leaping Cliff. This is an honor that all the top ten cultivators will have after ten years!
It's not personally going to Fish Leaping Cliff to stab his sword. That's the fundamental difference! If you go now, you can only show one attitude: I'm supreme!
There will be countless cultivators coming to challenge you! You can't refuse those on the rankings, those with Dharma Meridians, those with Physique Meridians!
These are two completely different things, do you understand? Even if you have the strength to suppress others, you can't possibly stab your sword into Fish Leaping Cliff for ten years!
Everything about you, your various trump cards in battle, will be seen clearly by others and analyzed clearly. There will definitely be a cultivator who can restrain you!
This is too dangerous! Unless it's a Jin Dan standing there accepting the challenge of Foundation Establishment, then it's possible to remain undefeated for ten years! Have you become stupid from reading too many heroic biographies? Those are biographies, there's a lot of fiction in them that isn't real!
No, I don't agree with you going! "
Lou Xiaoyi looked at her gently. "Senior Sister, I'm no longer the Lou Xiaoyi from fifty years ago! The current me is completely different from the past me!
Originally, I wanted to use this method to fulfill Senior Brother Guang Bei's wish. I only needed to spend ten years to reach the peak! But there were some troubles in the early stages, which caused me to waver on the rankings. This wasn't what I wanted, but now, it's a different matter!
As for my trump cards, they don't know! Let me tell you a secret. Actually, my trump cards are spells! "
Smoky didn't believe him at all. "Lou Xiaoyi! I'm talking to you about serious matters! If you insist on going, no one will collect your corpse! "
