Chapter 1289 - 626: Hesitation (Part 3)
"Damn it, you really know..."
Chen Xuantian laughed in exasperation,
"I knew you old folks! You damn well know everything! You’re just holding back and not saying anything!
Hey, are you out of your mind!? Your master was killed by him! Your master died to suppress him!
You know this, yet you’re still trying to save him! Save him so he can kill again!?
Do you know that once you release Lingxu, the first one he’s going to devour is you!"
Xuan Du looked at him,
"The ultimate principle is the greatest, there is none greater than the ultimate. The highest is the most supreme, none higher than the highest.
The truest of the true, the most sacred of the sacred, supreme and above all, at the pinnacle, there is nothing beyond.
It is the foundation of realization, the peak of the path.
It is the ultimate exploration, the end of the supreme state.
It is the way called the supreme and unexcelled Tao.
This path, at the end, can only allow one person to achieve enlightenment.
I am also one who seeks the Way, how could I not know that."
Chen Xuantian finally understood, became speechless, and broke down,
"Damn, the whole bunch of you are freaking lunatics... You just want to lift the seal for him! You want him to devour Thunder Ancestor!
And then you want him to devour you too! So that you can help him achieve Harmonization!!!"
Xuan Du nodded,
"Exactly."
Chen Xuantian stared at him wide-eyed,
"No... are you insane? Huh? Are you crazy? Huh? Want to find a doctor to check you out?"
Xuan Du shook his head,
"You don’t understand, helping my senior brother achieve the Tao is my wish."
Chen Xuantian exclaimed in disbelief,
"What about Thunder Ancestor? Are you worthy of Thunder Ancestor? Huh?
Don’t want to live anymore! You want to die! Fine! Go ahead and die then! What about the others?
I know, I know damn well you don’t care about me! No one cares what I think!
But have you ever thought about your disciple!"
Chen Xuantian raised the bracelet, showing Xuan Du his middle finger,
"He was your disciple! He knew something was wrong with you! Boom! A lightning strike came for him, and he died!
Do you hear? Dead! Now he’s dead!
I don’t even know his name! But you do!
Wasn’t this bracelet given to him by you personally?
Weren’t you the one who raised him?
Isn’t the Mystic Sect most about the bond between mentor and disciple?
Do you have no feelings? Did you have no feelings for your master? Do you have no feelings for your disciple?
Oh, so you only have feelings for your senior brother!!!"
Xuan Du said,
"Actually, I wasn’t that familiar with the master..."
Chen Xuantian was truly speechless.
But after being yelled at like this, Xuan Du seemed to remember something, and spoke slowly,
"But indeed, I followed everyone, hiding behind the master, sheltered by him while we grew.
But I always knelt on the ground, so now I can only remember the back of the master, I can’t even recall his face clearly.
But senior brother was different, senior brother walked shoulder to shoulder, hand in hand, while raising me."
Chen Xuantian exclaimed oh wow, couldn’t have imagined the final boss would be competing on friendship points...
Xuan Du ignored him, just lifted his head to look at the great door behind Chen Xuantian, a moment of daze,
"You don’t remember, but I still do.
I remember my family died when I was young, with nothing to eat, starving to death, it was senior brother who found me.
It was senior brother who went around swindling and cheating, stealing food for me, stealing medicine to heal me, barely pulling me back from the brink.
I originally wanted to steal with him, but he scolded and hit me, forcing me to go to school and study.
I remember telling him what I learned each day before we slept, lying together in the grass counting stars.
Until later when we were caught by the Thunder Department...
Senior brother was originally so smart, he could have escaped alone by leaving me behind.
But he said, when he was little, he was abandoned by his mother, he cried while chasing, but she never looked back.
So when he saw me chasing behind, he couldn’t leave alone.
Later the master saved us, took us as disciples...
But because senior brother had stolen, the Immortal Palace sentenced him to amputation, where he could only sit in the array giving us advice."
Xuan Du looked at Chen Xuantian, smiled at him,
"Now with only my life, I can help senior brother achieve the Tao, how could I not repay him?"
