Chapter 2236 Master Bestows a Character
The three brothers entered the illusion almost simultaneously.
Long Aotian was on the top of Seven Star Peak when he suddenly felt that the atmosphere around him had changed.
The scenery remained the same, but he had captured the change in the energy field.
"This is……"
Hun Tiangang's voice rang out: "Ao Tian."
Long Aotian turned around and saw a neat white robe, a grandmaster who could be described as handsome and elegant, Hun Tiangang.
Long Aotian felt in his heart that this was his master's true soul.
Even if he's not in his complete form, he's definitely more serious than that crazy old man.
He quickly ran two steps forward, knelt on one knee, and cried out, "Master!"
Hun Tiangang nodded: "Aotian, you've suffered."
Long Aotian suddenly realized that his master was the one who had suffered the most.
Connecting all the known events, he was once the greatest man in the world.
However, he did not seek fame, fortune, power, gold, silver, or women.
What he wants is to carry on his master's legacy, fight against the heavenly calamity, and save the world.
He miscalculated the timing, or rather, he was tricked by fate. However, he did not become despondent or world-weary, nor was he defeated by failure. Instead, he continued to plan and strategize, striving to outmaneuver fate.
He gave up almost everything beautiful, willingly becoming a madman and a fool in the eyes of the world, and stayed here for decades.
He bore the brunt of infamy and ridicule. A man who could have stood at the top and commanded the world, now many younger generations no longer respect him, but instead want to exploit his fame to make their own fortunes.
He integrated the forces of the martial arts world at the time, established the overall structure of the world, and unified the collective understanding, but ended up hastily in an absurd and laughable way.
And now, with what kind of spiritual strength is he fighting against this world? Dealing with the ways of Heaven?
Long Aotian truly felt that Hun Tiangang was the real hero.
He was somewhat moved: "Master, you have suffered."
Hun Tiangang smiled slightly: "Ao Tian, get up."
"Yes."
Hun Tiangang walked to the edge of Seven Star Peak: "I have been here for decades. I used to be able to count the days on my fingers, but later I became confused and couldn't count anymore."
"Master..."
Hun Tiangang said, "The scenery of Seven Star Peak is very beautiful. I like it very much. It is very similar to the place where my master lived in seclusion back then. At that time, the three of us practiced martial arts, slacked off, grilled fish, and played... I really miss those days."
Long Aotian looked at Hun Tiangang's back and said, "My master's family has three outstanding members, all of whom are renowned in the martial arts world."
"Hehehe." Hun Tiangang's laughter was tinged with melancholy: "Talking about fame and glory is meaningless in the face of time. Before Master, how many outstanding talents rode dragons and phoenixes, roaming the world, their fame shaking the heavens, their martial prowess unmatched. How many people still remember them now, and where are their bones buried? Whom did they love, who did they hate, what wine did they drink, what mountains did they visit...? Who still remembers?"
Long Aotian frowned, deep in thought.
Hun Tiangang turned around: "Of the three brothers, you are the most shrewd and capable."
"Cheng Wen is smarter than me."
Hun Tiangang shook his head: "You are all very smart, but you are smart in different ways. If it weren't for Lu Chengwen and Zhao Ritian, your destiny would have been to sweep across the world, unstoppable, win the hearts of the people, and be above all others."
Long Aotian smiled bitterly: "I myself once thought the same way."
Hun Tiangang said, "However, when you face the Heavenly Tribulation alone, your chances of winning are not high. I estimate it to be less than 1 in 9. But I believe you are the kind of person who can make a dream come true even if there is only a sliver of a chance."
Long Aotian was very surprised.
So that's how Master sees me?
For a moment, he was at a loss for words.
"What a pity," Hun Tiangang said. "Life is unpredictable, and the way of Heaven is hard to find. Heaven played a huge joke on you. Lu Chengwen broke your original destiny, and then the way of Heaven was out of sync. You were a step too late, and you missed every step of the way. Lu Chengwen, on the other hand, thrived and rose to the top, occupying the position of the Star God, and became entangled and fought with you. You were like a pair of twin stars, competing and fighting, and finally your destinies became intertwined, complementing each other."
Long Aotian smiled slightly: "This is fate."
"Yes, it's fate..."
Hun Tiangang said, "In my estimation, if you and Cheng Wen can join forces to fight against the Heavenly Tribulation, the chances of victory can be increased to 30%."
Long Aotian solemnly said, "If I can establish immortal achievements with my junior brother, I will have no regrets in this life."
Hun Tiangang shook his head: "However, the appearance of Ri Tian has once again disrupted the Heavenly Dao."
Long Aotian looked at Hun Tiangang, and his heart sank.
His first thought was: Please don't tell me that he will hinder the progress of the Heavenly Dao, I must kill him!
Hun Tiangang smiled, seemingly seeing through Long Aotian's worries. His smile was kind and gentle.
“It’s strange, after he appeared, your winning rate dropped to 10% again.”
Long Aotian lowered his head, pondered for a long time, then raised his head and said, "Master, could it be the three of us...?"
Hun Tiangang stopped him: "I will not sacrifice him."
Long Aotian nodded blankly, feeling a little relieved, but then another heavy weight pressed down on his heart.
One-tenth...
Hun Tiangang walked to the stone table and slowly sat down.
Long Aotian walked to the opposite side and stood respectfully.
"sit."
Long Aotian hesitated for a moment: "Master, I..."
"Hehe, no need for formalities. Sit down and talk, relax."
"Thank you, Master."
Long Aotian sat down.
Hun Tiangang said, "The fates of the three of you are intertwined, making it difficult to estimate. It is extremely rare for three people with very special fates to be in the same era. I often wonder whether you collectively chose the Heavenly Tribulation, or whether the Heavenly Tribulation chose you."
"But for us insignificant humans, choices are few. Since this is our fate, we can only accept it."
Long Aotian nodded.
Hun Tiangang said, "None of the four major families are benevolent. With Tianwu by their side, they are extremely difficult to control. Qiu Baihen has been plotting for decades. Furthermore, the Elder Council has become a den of thieves. They must be eliminated."
Hun Tiangang sighed, "The burden is too heavy. Just thinking about having you handle such a complicated situation fills me with guilt. If only I had..."
Long Aotian smiled and said, "Master is a wise and enlightened sage, why blame yourself for 'the past'? Perhaps today's situation is the way of Heaven, a cause and effect that has already been determined."
Hun Tiangang nodded in satisfaction:
“Things will get more complicated from now on. It’s time for you to enhance your domineering aura.”
Long Aotian was excited.
Hun Tiangang said, "I will bestow three words upon you."
"Three words?"
"Ah."
Hun Tiangang reached out, put his two fingers together, and used his true energy to write the first character in the void.
Long Aotian stared at the word, deeply shocked.
That was the character "霸" (ba, meaning domineering/overbearing).
Hun Tiangang said, "I will rule the world, be invincible in this era, and wherever my sword points, all things will become my subjects."
Long Aotian quickly stood up: "What virtue or ability do I possess to deserve such a title of supreme and powerful?"
Hun Tiangang said, "Stop pretending, you love that word, don't you?"
Long Aotian blurted out, "No one else is good enough for me."
