Chapter 634: Who Can Obtain the Blessing of the Celestial Martial Star
The Celestial Martial Star, a falling meteor that countless martial artists yearn to encounter, is a heavenly opportunity.
However, heavenly opportunities often turn into disasters; sometimes they destroy entire regions, but more often, they spark fierce battles among people, resulting in rivers of blood.
Humans often lose their lives over interests; it happens all too frequently.
So now Lin Nuo has a thought: this Celestial Martial Star absolutely cannot fall into Su Kexin’s hands. This is not a trivial matter; it’s a big deal.
Cultivation is like a snowball, rolling bigger and bigger. The more you improve, the more insight you gain, and then it just snowballs from there, becoming increasingly formidable.
And cultivation often relies on opportunities—those that are hard to come by. There’s a saying in the world: a person’s fate is predetermined; they are merely walking towards their destiny.
To be honest, even a villain like him thinks that sounds like toxic positivity. Haven’t you heard? “My fate is in my hands, not in heaven!”
The story of a villain rebelling against the protagonist and overturning their great fate is undoubtedly an inspirational tale. One day, he could publish an autobiography to inspire countless lost souls, crafting the “Lin Family Motivational Book”! Just look at it—filled to the brim, let’s go!
When it comes to inspiration, you have to look at villains. After all, reading about the protagonist’s experiences will only make you question life itself.
This time, the opportunity that could change Su Kexin’s fate is within his grasp; he has the script, making it simple to alter this opportunity.
Before the Celestial Martial Star falls, he just needs to find Su Kexin and make sure she stays away from her old home. Easy peasy.
In fact, since his rebirth, history has already changed; the butterfly effect alters historical details, and once the snowball starts, everything becomes unrecognizable. Perhaps Su Kexin won’t go back to her old home this time.
But he believes in the protagonist’s intuition. If left unchecked, she will surely unconsciously head back, and then they’ll cross paths.
This lifetime, she has way more chances than the last. Not to mention the Spirit Heart and the Phoenix Sword, two divine artifacts she didn’t have in her previous life, but now do!
Of course, he has them too, but he can’t unleash their full potential. However, Su Kexin can summon the Phoenix Shadow!
He needs to consult her about that; who knows, he might also conjure the Phoenix Shadow—it’s the magical one! If he can control that, it would be really impressive!
Right now, Lin Nuo needs to alter Su Kexin’s opportunity, but first, he needs to find her. But where in the world is she?
Last time he was able to run into her, but now he’s gotta seek his luck again.
Without wasting any time, he zoomed back there in a flash and took a look to see if Su Kexin was still around.
However, a long time has passed, and she has vanished without a trace. Currently, her whereabouts are unknown.
Aha! Back to Tianling Mountain it is!
But the road to Tianling Mountain is far, and besides, his sword flight would sometimes end in a crash. Who knows what might happen along the way?
After some thought, Lin Nuo figured it’s best to first head to Su Kexin’s old home to scout and wait for her to arrive, then lead her away. That seems safe enough.
If it weren’t for the incident from last life, he wouldn’t even know where Su Kexin’s old home was! It’s a pretty simple name—Su Family Village—just another village far removed from the city. As more and more people leave for the outside world, fewer and fewer remain in Su Family Village.
Alright, off we go!
He summoned his Spirit Sword, stepped on it, gathered his spirit energy, and took off into the sky.
But just as he started flying, he paused.
Wait a minute, where exactly is Su Family Village?
Honestly, he has no geographical sense of direction regarding that place, especially since he’s never been there!
Guess I’ll have to buy a map or ask some locals on the street.
Okay, got it.
The location is to the northeast. First, he must cross the towering Wolf Tooth Peak, then rush over the roaring Long River, through the wilds of the primeval forest, and after climbing over a few small hills, he’ll arrive.
If he were to walk there, he’d probably go insane, right?
Good thing he can fly on his sword. Just praying he doesn’t crash into the Long River; that current would knock him silly!
Lin Nuo soared through the skies, heading northeast.
……
The celestial phenomena contain mysteries. Under the glittering night sky, many people across the land are gazing up, seeking the chance of a lifetime.
From small organizations and gangs to sects and schools of immortals, there are people everywhere looking up at the stars, searching for heavenly opportunities.
Lately, there has been something strange in the starry realm, with one distant star captivating the attention of many stargazers.
Within the Xuanyun Sect, an elder named Li Jie noticed this phenomenon.
“What’s happening? Any new findings?”
Master Zhao approached, stroking his beard and asking with a light chuckle.
“There’s a spiritual star twinkling—probably a sign of an opportunity descending. I wonder who the lucky one will be.” Li Jie said with seriousness.
“A spiritual star, huh? Speaking of which, the Celestial Star that the Sword Saint encountered last time helped him reach enlightenment in the Heavy Sword Technique. Perhaps destiny has its mandate, and ultimately, talented individuals will save the world.”
“The Sword Saint isn’t exactly a paragon of virtue; he’s just a fighter.”
“You’ve never acknowledged him.”
“Nothing to acknowledge. He once disregarded the lives of thousands for his own selfish desires, completely ignoring the innocent in his quest to slay. That doesn’t align with virtue and talent. As for the last Celestial Star, he merely fought his way out from among the crowd of competitors.”
Li Jie stated seriously. Master Zhao, still stroking his beard, looked up at the starry sky. He wasn’t deeply versed in celestial research, so he could only observe the general stars. As for those that could be deemed opportunities, he couldn’t discern.
“Nowadays, rumors about spiritual stars are widespread, and some even name them as the Celestial Martial Star. This opportunity may well surpass the Celestial Star. I’m sure there will be bloodshed when the time comes,” said Master Zhao.
“Quite normal. Everyone wishes to seize opportunities, but they allow their desires to cloud their judgment. What seems like heavenly fate is often disaster. True destiny isn’t about competition; it’s about blessing. Without bloodshed, we can guide the world toward peace.”
“Any idea who might encounter the Celestial Martial Star and receive this blessing?”
Master Zhao posed the question. Li Jie didn’t think long before responding:
“That’s not something I can definitively say. However, I hope our disciples will receive this blessing and become true individuals of virtue and talent. Recently, too many things have happened in Xuanyun Sect, but now there’s a brilliant new star rising.”
“I know who you’re referring to. Coincidentally, I also think so.”
Master Zhao chuckled, a wide smile spreading across his face:
“Indeed, Lin Nuo is the rising star of our sect. He possesses both virtue and talent, along with remarkable abilities. Perhaps this young man may receive this blessing and save the people from disaster.”
“Everything is predestined; we can only watch and wait for changes.”
Li Jie said, not denying Lin Nuo’s potential, essentially expressing a hope that he would receive the blessing.
……
“Mother, how I wish you could ride my Spirit Sword so we wouldn’t have to walk so far.”
“Sigh, Kexin, you know your mother is afraid of flying on a sword. I’m so content that you’re here to accompany me.”
“We’ll be there soon; just over this mountain, then we’ll arrive.”
Su Kexin and her mother were walking back to Su Family Village when they suddenly spotted a person floating down the rushing river.
“Kexin, there’s someone on the river!”
Su’s mother pointed at the person on the river with surprise.
