Chapter 995 Rejection
Chapter 995 Rejection
"Brother Lu, it's great that you're still alive."
Jian Xuan was sincerely delighted.
Thinking of Lu Luan’s current achievements, I feel inexplicably emotional.
He had also heard that Lu Luan's severed limbs were hanging outside the Xuanling Sect. It was really hard to imagine that Lu Luan could appear in front of him safe and sound in this state and become the mountain he looked up to. Jian Xuan even suspected that Lu Luan was a yang god who had then cultivated a body of flesh and blood.
Lu Luan said: "I was lucky at the time. I had a space teleportation talisman on me, so I managed to escape."
Lu Luan asked: "Junior Brother Jian, how did you get sealed by that demon cultivator?"
Jian Xuan recalled with a bitter look on his face: "Not long after I left Jianyang Sect, I gathered my sword energy in a canyon created by a sword cultivator, so as to reach the middle stage of the Golden Core. I never expected to be targeted by that demon cultivator. I was caught off guard and was severely injured in an instant. Then I was imprisoned in his space treasure. All in all..."
Jian Xuan looked at his reflection in the teacup, saw his weathered face, and smiled sadly: "To sum up, I have been imprisoned in there for nearly a hundred years."
He looked like a young man then, but now he is a middle-aged man with a slightly older attitude.
Lu Luan sighed inwardly. A hundred years was almost one-fifth of a Jindan cultivator’s life span, and it was also the most important hundred years in a person’s life.
If it weren't for this disaster, Jian Xuan would probably be in the late Jindan stage now.
"But it doesn't matter. This is my destiny. Even if I hadn't encountered that demon cultivator, there would still be other disasters waiting for me. I might not even be alive today."
Jian Xuan smiled with relief and felt that it didn't matter anymore. After climbing over this mountain, perhaps the world would be full of opportunities.
"Yes, so we can start over."
Lu Luan picked up the teacup and murmured, "That demon cultivator must have an extraordinary origin."
That demon cultivator was definitely not an ordinary person, so it was normal for Jian Xuan to fall at his hands. He did not have some of the things that the demon cultivator had, especially the few spirit crystals. These were either obtained from outside the realm, or someone with his status prepared them for him.
Jian Xuan said: "I often heard his resentful roar in that mysterious device. It seemed that he was the young master of a demon sect in the Demon Realm, but that demon sect was destroyed by another demon sect for some unknown reason."
"I see."
No wonder he has so many good things on him.
I think the demon cultivator's talent should be pretty good. Under normal circumstances, he should be able to reach the Nascent Soul stage. However, after his sect was destroyed, he had to become a casual cultivator. So he had to prepare many things by himself. Even if he had a good talent, it would have been wasted. As a result, he has become an old man but has not yet broken through to the Nascent Soul stage.
Moreover, this kind of demon cultivator can only be a casual cultivator. If he wants to join other forces, he must pass various screenings and find out all his details. Demon cultivators are not good people, and they must be squeezed dry.
"Senior Brother Lu, are you a cultivator now?" Jian Xuan also began to adapt and was not as restrained as before. He asked the doubts in his heart.
Lu Luan smiled and shook his head: "I am still a demon cultivator, but now I have been accepted by the immortal way."
After he finished speaking, he asked, "Brother Jian, do you have any plans for the future?"
Jian Xuan said: "Travel around and practice my swordsmanship."
"Junior Brother Jian, have you ever considered joining the Haoyue Sect?"
Lu Luan put the teacup on the table and looked at him.
"Haoyue Sect." Jian Xuan paused. He had heard of this sect.
Lu Luan continued, "Yes, I am now the elder of the Haoyue Sect and the peak master of the Yuanling lineage. I have already told the sect's great elder a few days ago that as long as you are willing, you are welcome to join."
Jian Xuan did not reply immediately, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"Brother Jian."
Lin Xi also stopped practicing and walked over here. As former fellow disciples, they had to meet and talk no matter what.
"I've met senior."
Jian Xuan didn't know her, nor had he seen her at Zhengyang Gate. When he saw Lin Xi, he didn't recognize her, but seeing that her cultivation was unfathomable, he stood up and bowed.
I was also confused as to why he called me his junior brother.
Lu Luan introduced: "Junior Brother Jian, this is my wife, Lin Xi, and also your senior sister."
"Senior Sister Lin."
Jian Xuan said immediately.
"Junior brother, you don't have to be so polite. I used to be a member of Zhengyang Sect." Lin Xi sat down next to Lu Luan and said, "Haoyue Sect also has a sword path, which is just right for you to practice. You should stay."
Jian Xuan also sat down slowly, and after making a decision in his heart, he said to the two of them, "Brother, sister, thank you for your kindness, but I have my own path to follow. Joining the sect is not suitable for me."
"Ok?"
After hearing what he said, Lu Luan and the other man were extremely surprised. They looked at each other in disbelief. They couldn't believe that Jian Xuan would actually refuse.
For independent cultivators, joining a sect is the best way out.
Jian Xuan explained: "Brother Lu, Sister Lin, thank you for your kindness, but I don't want to participate in the war between humans, demons, and monsters. Joining the Haoyue Sect will ruin my Tao heart."
He had just woken up and actually didn't know that a racial war would break out soon, but he knew that if he joined the Haoyue Sect, he would definitely do many things against his will.
"Why?"
Lu Luan was very puzzled.
Jian Xuan said: "My sword intention is for all living beings. In my eyes, there is no difference between immortals, demons, spirits, and monsters. During the years when I was sealed by the demon cultivator, although my cultivation has stagnated, I have a new understanding of my Tao. Joining the Haoyue Sect is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for others, but for me, it is disadvantageous."
Jian Xuan looked at him gratefully.
Lu Luan said earnestly, "Brother Jian, your Cangsheng is too big. It's not a good thing."
"Brother Lu, I know what's going on."
Jian Xuan replied very firmly, but to Lu Luan, he was just like a child.
"hope so."
Lu Luan said no more, he saw it very clearly and even felt that it was childish and unrealistic. He hoped that Jian Xuan could slowly realize it on his own, that this kind of breadth of mind was not something he could have right now.
