Free Web NovelChapter 1881: Chapter 853: Respect
Bringing Yingzi along was Sima Zining’s request, and Yingzi also wanted to follow beside Lin Mo, so Lin Mo did not refuse.
As a World General, one can settle in the Star Sky Alliance, and it’s not unusual to marry and have children. He took Yingzi to the Star Sky Alliance as his maid, and he could also offer guidance and advice at any time.
The Blood Python left Earth, tearing through the atmosphere with a domineering posture, swiftly heading towards the starry sky, leaving behind a long rainbow-like blood-colored trail that lingered for a long time.
"Young Master, the gap between my current strength and yours is getting bigger and bigger. Following by your side, I can only do small tasks like serving tea and water." Yingzi pouted, blinking her bright big eyes as she looked at Lin Mo standing in front of the ship, and said.
Lin Mo looked through the ship’s external projection at the endless galaxy. Once, the scenery he considered unreachable now seemed almost within his grasp.
Unlike Guo Hu, who didn’t want to cultivate and only wanted to be an ordinary person, those cultivators Lin Mo had encountered who were willing to go to any lengths to become stronger were entirely different. Everyone has their own thoughts and insights into life. Perhaps those who strive hard look down on those who are mediocre and have lost their will under life’s pressures. Similarly, there are those who resent people who like to boast all day long, looking down on others as if having a sense of arrogance.
No one is wrong; everyone strives not to live a life filled with regrets.
Who in the world can determine what is right or wrong?
"Young Master, did you hear what I said?" Yingzi slightly frowned and took two steps forward. "Oh." Lin Mo returned to his senses and looked at Yingzi, saying, "You have already worked hard, it’s just that Earth’s resources are limited, like the children of the poor and the children of the rich. Although there is a saying ’Princes and generals, are they predetermined?’, the environment in which one grows up, the education they receive, the limitations of vision and resources, there might be some extraordinary people from humble backgrounds, but they are indeed very few."
"When we reach the Star Sky Alliance, I will provide you with some resources and a very good cultivation method. With your intelligence and effort, I believe you will soon shine in the universe," Lin Mo comforted. Indeed, even he was a little surprised that Yingzi, whom he accepted as a disciple during his student days, a child with a pleasant appearance but unfortunate circumstances, could grow to this stage—on Earth, Yingzi’s strength and cultivation are definitely at the top level.
"Hmm, I don’t want to be just a vase by young master’s side. I also want to have my own skills to help you with tasks." Yingzi nodded vigorously. This ’Purple and Green Fairy,’ already with a renowned reputation on Earth, now seemed as docile as the most well-behaved maid beside Lin Mo. Should the young martial arts geniuses on Earth find this out, they’d probably beat their chests and wail in fury.
"Here is a jade scroll, which records some introductions about the Star Sky Alliance, as well as some knowledge about cultivation in the universe that I’ve engraved into it. You can take a look yourself." Lin Mo took out a jade scroll and tossed it to Yingzi.
Yingzi reached out her slender jade hand, caught the jade scroll, and smiled, "Okay, I’ll go take a look at what’s in this jade scroll."
Lin Mo continued to focus his gaze forward, "Without a Star Sky Transmission Array, it will take another half month to reach Elong Star. The Elong Star Lord sent someone to Earth, and I need to settle that account properly." A half-month is not long. During this time, Lin Mo did not rush to cultivate but instructed Yingzi’s cultivation within the spaceship, helping her analyze the pros and cons of her cultivation, pointing out a few bottlenecks that had troubled her for a long time, and also taught her a Heavenly Rank Cultivation Method suitable for her cultivation. In the remaining time, Lin Mo spent it perusing solitary rare books collected by Fang Tangjing and others from Buddhist and Taoist sects. Having absorbed all the knowledge from Earth, his mind stored a massive amount of information, richer than that of a national library. Naturally, reading those obscure ancient texts posed no difficulty for him.
The rare books from Buddhist and Taoist sects, while not advanced cultivation methods, were ones that Lin Mo savored seriously with a cup of tea each time, rather than forcibly imprinting them into his mind using spiritual power.
"Realm." Lin Mo closed a Buddhist ’Sanskrit’ classic, took a small sip of tea from his cup, his mood indescribably calm.
Realm is a very mysterious thing, unquantifiable.
But chatting with that ’big shot’ and listening to his two Realm King brothers, it made Lin Mo realize the importance of ’realm.’ The stronger one cultivates, the more important realm becomes.
"I swallowed the Sun and Moon Divine Fruit, opened the ’realm’ Heavenly Gate at the Venerable Mansion, and when I encountered an old woman of the Demon Clan, I was overwhelmed by sorrow and comprehended the ’Melancholy Mist Rain Sword,’ comparable to world-level swordsmanship, all thanks to the power of realm." "What realm can I have? It’s nothing more than absorbing a lot of knowledge on Earth, which includes some Taoist and Buddhist classics. Earth is an End of Dharma Planet, yet it has produced generations of historical figures or left behind immortal writings. Is there any underlying connection?
Lin Mo had a vague feeling that this seemed to be a grand scheme, so grand that he dared not speculate. But the insights gained from reading Buddhist and Taoist classics are not absent. Though he restrained himself over the years during his cosmic battles, his body and heart were already tainted with a decisive blood evil qi. Occasionally during cultivation, the killing intent cultivated within could be felt, and recently, reading these Buddhist texts made his heart unprecedentedly calm.
"Great compassion and mercy, Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva, swearing not to become a Buddha until hell is empty." Lin Mo sighed softly, admitting to himself that he had not reached such a realm.
Half a month passed quickly.
"Young Master, there’s a white planet ahead, it should be Elong Star." Yingzi stood beside him, pointing to a white planet ahead, speaking excitedly.
"Hmm, is the Elong Star Lord trying to intimidate me?" Lin Mo narrowed his eyes slightly.
Logically, he informed the Milky Way’s Star Lord and Elong Star Lord half a month ago, but upon his arrival, there wasn’t a single spaceship sent for connection. It’s not necessary for a Star Lord to greet him personally, but not even a guard was sent.
"Young Master, the Elong Star Lord didn’t send anyone to receive you, doesn’t this mean they don’t regard you, the Rider Captain, highly?" Yingzi’s eyebrows arched in a furrow, speaking with some indignation.
Lin Mo’s lips curled, spreading a trace of coldness, "It’s better if they don’t come; I don’t feel like dealing with all that pretentious stuff." As the Blood Python approached Elong Star, Lin Mo and Yingzi left the Blood Python, storing it back into the Space Ring. They flew directly towards Elong Star, and at this moment, several figures flew out of Elong Star to intercept Lin Mo’s way.
"May I ask, are you the Boundary General?" Among the approaching group, a woman’s voice transmitted over.
"I’m the Rider Captain," Lin Mo stopped and stated directly. Soon, a few people came to Lin Mo’s side. The leader was a woman of striking beauty, around her early twenties, wearing a purple gauze dress with no extra adornments. Her smooth, white forehead had two small protruding horns. Beside her stood a young man, followed by a group of Armored Guards. "I am Ao Rui, granddaughter of the East Sea Dragon King of Ocean King Star, sent by my grandfather to specifically welcome the Boundary General." Ao Rui cupped her hands and bent her waist, showing extreme respect.
