Chapter 468: 468. [Heaven and Earth are not benevolent; they treat all things as straw dogs.]



Considering the current situation, this was still quite far off.

If he wanted to exchange for [Swordsmanship Aptitude] at Contribution Points Mall, the cost for 2 points of Swordsmanship Aptitude was as high as 120,000!

This value was truly terrifying. A normal scale Foreign Race altar only gave about 5,000 points, and the high-level foreign races that were just above level fifty gave even fewer contribution points as rewards.

“120,000, I don’t know when I can accumulate so many contribution points.” Lu Xun thought to himself.

But according to the current situation, by the time he accumulated these contribution points, his character level should also be quite high.

After all, during the process of collecting contribution points, he would be able to gain a massive amount of experience points. And as the player level continued to rise, the amount of experience points players could gain would also increase, and the profits Lu Xun could reap by dealing with these players would also multiply.

“After all, there’s no fun in harvesting immature leeks. It’s interesting when they grow into a robust crop.” Lu Xun told himself.

He roughly calculated that by the time the players all grew to over level fifty, he could potentially gain nearly a hundred million experience points a day by teaching skills!

“The players are growing a bit slow.” Lu Xun felt the players were just not enthusiastic enough.

However, compared to his previous life, the progress of players this time was indeed faster.

“Hmm, most of the credit should go to me.” At least that was what Lu Xun thought.

Just then, Lu Xun suddenly felt a slight itch on the back of his hand.

He glanced downward and saw the black string on his sword sheath floating up, twirling around his arm with its tip.

It felt like a beautiful lady was letting her delicate jade fingers glide and rotate on your body.

Sure enough, seeing that “Lu ‘Pearl-Collector’ Xun” had obtained another pearl, the sword sheath couldn’t help but want it.

So Lu Xun looked up and conveyed an inquiring look towards his master.

Although the master seldom gave Lu Xun direct eye contact, he could still perceive Lu Xun’s intention. He nodded and said, “The sword sheath is indeed a relatively safe place.”

Then, he looked at the sword sheath and teased, “But you should not be greedy. You must never attempt to absorb it.”

The black string on the sword sheath floated up, making a downward hook as if it were nodding its head.

It even used the black string to pat itself, as if it was pounding its chest to assure: I’ll certainly not lick it!

Upon hearing his master say there was no problem, Lu Xun carefully put the[Pearl of Heavenly Dao] into it.

“Plop—”

After placing it properly, the master beckoned slightly and the sword sheath floated up and fell into his hand.

“Seal,” the master uttered softly.

As soon as his words fell, the[Pearl of Heavenly Dao]was sealed with a ban by the master.

“Before you reach the ninth level, you will not be able to break the ban with your internal spirit force,” Master declared indifferently.

Little did they know, Lu Xun practiced the mysterious Five Elements Cultivation Method just like his master, so his spirit force when he reached the ninth level would be exaggerated to the point of being scary!

If such a strength could only break the seal, then this ban could be deemed extremely safe. Someone like a high priest of foreign races would be absolutely unable to break the ban.

After setting the[Pearl of Heavenly Dao]properly, Lu Xun curiously asked, “Master, how did such a treasure end up in the hands of a foreign race in the first place?”

He was genuinely puzzled by this. The Power of Heavenly Dao was a part of the Heavenly Dao. Did it just allow the so-called deity of the foreign race to take a part of it?

Could it be… that the Three-eyed Divine Spirit of the Foreign Race had a higher position than the Heavenly Dao of Heavenly Dust?

“Some accidents occurred, and the Heavenly Dao just let things take their course,” master calmly explained.

He laughed lightly and asked, “Little Five, did you feel any fear toward that so-called deity of the foreign race?”

“Well…a little bit, maybe.” Lu Xun admitted.

He was kind of reckless at heart, so he wasn’t that frightened to be honest. That being said, he certainly couldn’t claim to be completely unconcerned.

His primary curiosity is still that: if Heavenly Dao and the deity of the foreign race clash, who comes out on top?

“Master, between the Heavenly Dao and that deity of the foreign race, who has a higher position?” Lu Xun asked.

“Naturally, it’s the Heavenly Dao.” the master replied very certainly.

Perhaps fearing that Lu Xun would not understand, he elaborated, “Heavenly Dao is the rule. It’s the most mysterious existence in the Heavenly Dust World. It is not a concrete existence. Nothing is it, yet everything is related to it.”

“Then why did the Heavenly Dao do nothing when the foreign race invaded and the deity meddled?” Lu Xun asked confusedly.

The master pondered for a moment and said, “I once had similar doubts as you do now when I first started out.”

The master looked up to the sky at a forty-five degree angle, which was a common gesture for him, exposing to Lu Xun his not-so-pleasant side face and relatively indistinguishable jawline.

Looking up at the sky, the master continued, “I pondered this question for quite a while, and it wasn’t until the end of the Ancient Calamity that your uncle and I figured it out.”

“Please enlighten me, master,” Lu Xun said with his sincere big eyes, standing firmly at the front line of gossip-seekers, eager to know the answer.

“Because in the eyes of the Heavenly Dao, we are not that important.” The master said indifferently.

Hearing this, Lu Xun furrowed his brows and couldn’t help but citing a well-known saying:

——”Heaven and Earth are not benevolent; they treat all things as straw dogs.”

Upon hearing this, the master stroked his palm and chuckled, “Your words are quite apt!”

Most people often misunderstood this saying. Actually, it implies that Heaven and Earth have no benevolence. They don’t possess love, treating everything just as they treat straw dogs, allowing everything to naturally follow its own course.

In the eyes of the Heavenly Dao, everything is the same.

Like Lu Xun, his former self and his uncle, the reason why they had such thoughts was that they overestimated their own importance.

Maybe in the end, the Heavenly Dao would do something, but certainly not at this stage and level.

“It seems that there really isn’t much justice in this world,” Lu Xun sighed.

The master shook his head, “The Heavenly Dao is an emotional-less existence. It’s just a rule, a power, so it doesn’t have the so-called ‘justice’.”

“Interesting, the Dao talks about reason, yet the Dao itself doesn’t really care about reason,” Lu Xun said.

“But people love reason,” the master added.

Hearing this, Lu Xun looked at the master and thought to himself, “Well, you certainly love reasoning with people.”

The master continued to gaze at the sky, “After your uncle and I realized this, we knew that the only thing cultivators could do was to save themselves.”

“So you started to change the cultivation world with my uncle?” Lu Xun asked.

The master nodded.

Like his uncle improving cultivation techniques to enable more people to cultivate and have power, it was actually a way of self-salvation.

“But these efforts are still not enough,” the master declared.

He voiced five words, “Human power has its limits.”

“The deity of the foreign race, although inferior to the Heavenly Dao, still ranks above the cultivators. Your uncle and I have repeatedly deduced that if this so-called deity comes to Heavenly Dust, we still wouldn’t be able to win,” the master stated.

Before Lu Xun could ask any questions, the master gave a self-explanatory reply.

“So, in the end, your uncle and I decided to have a reason talk with the Heavenly Dao, whether it would like to listen or… even be able to hear.”
