Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill

Chapter 1137: Chapter 40: A Beginning and an End

As the Source Pen was withdrawn, the Dust Beasts retreated as well.

Seeing this scene, Wang Sheng was somewhat astonished.

For more than two thousand years, he had never stopped observing the Dust Beasts. Wherever Dust Beasts were found, he would leave observation methods.

Countless civilizations invaded by Dust Beasts, some resisted directly, some were completely destroyed by the Dust Beasts, and others discovered the characteristics of the Dust Beasts and chose to flee.

For instance, the second civilization he found invaded by Dust Beasts, the Iron Armor Civilization, chose to flee. But even after escaping to a new planet, the Dust Beasts still caught up, and the Iron Armor Civilization is still resisting them today.

There are many other civilizations like this. Even when they flee, the Dust Beasts will still pursue them.

But this time, he saw the Dust Beasts leave on their own.

This was completely different from their previous behavior.

“Is it the Destiny Threads or the Source Pen?”

Faced with this anomaly, Wang Sheng could only think of these two possibilities.

Otherwise, there should be no other reason.

“Let’s continue to experiment.”

If nothing else, he had plenty of time.

With enough time, he could completely continue his experiments.

Thus, the fifth low-realm user of the Source Pen appeared.

Several hundred years later, Wang Sheng watched the Dust Beasts appear and then disappear again, falling into silence.

“The Source Pen is still here, but the Dust Beasts have already left, which means their appearance is related to the Destiny Threads…”

By comparison, it’s actually easy to arrive at the answer.

The Dust Beasts are not attracted by the Source Pen but because of the Destiny Threads.

Furthermore, if the Destiny Threads are newly formed, once the Source Pen leaves, the Destiny Threads would dissipate, unlike Liang Guang, who remains fixed. Even now, signs of the Destiny Threads can still be seen on him.

“So why do the Destiny Threads attract the Dust Beasts? Could it be related to the cosmic disaster mentioned by Xuan Yuan?”

The Starry Sky Rules protect Xuan Yuan due to the existence of the cosmic disaster.

Wang Sheng had been wondering if the so-called cosmic disaster was related to the Dust Beasts.

After all, the power exhibited by the Dust Beasts is similar to that last shown by Chong Xu, a power that alerts the cosmos.

However, he has no evidence to prove it.

The more he investigated, the more uncertainties Wang Sheng found.

“Since that’s the case, I will attempt to comprehend the Path of Destiny. No, I should manifest it like the Reincarnation Dao.”

No matter what the final answer is, it’s certain that there is an inextricable connection with the Path of Destiny.

If he could comprehend the Path of Destiny, perhaps many problems could be readily solved.

Moreover, understanding the Path of Destiny would definitely be a significant boost for him.

“If so, the experiment with the Source Pen must not stop. Others using the Source Pen is of significant interest to my comprehension of the Path of Destiny, and if the starry sky doesn’t contain a path of destiny, I might create one through this matter. Furthermore, the research on the Dust Beasts must not stop. Since they are attracted by the Destiny Threads, they surely must be helpful to me.”

Dust Beasts are attracted by the Destiny Threads, which certainly has something to do with destiny.

If researched further, it would likely yield substantial results, which he naturally couldn’t give up.

Thus, Wang Sheng divided his focus into three parts.

The majority was focused on cultivation, one part was allocated to sending the Source Pen to various destined individuals, and the remaining part stayed in the starry sky where the Dust Beasts were, constantly researching their characteristics.

Time flies; days and months pass; the star seas rotate. In the blink of an eye, more than a thousand years have passed.

A millennium doesn’t mean much to the cosmos.

However, for young cultivators, a thousand years is already a long time.

Young cultivators become predecessors, and another generation of young cultivators rises.

Waking up from cultivation, Wang Sheng counted on his fingers.

“There is no Path of Destiny in the starry sky, and even for me, it’s difficult to comprehend. But the more than two thousand years wasn’t without gain. It seems my opportunity has arrived. Since the Path of Destiny doesn’t exist, I will create one myself, starting with the word ’fate’.”

So he issued a command.

Not long after, the entire cosmos knew that the Lifeless True Saint seemed to be convening an Immortal Fruit Gathering again.

This gathering, besides inviting the Twelfth Realm Saint Emperors, was more focused on the young generation of cultivators.

It is said that the True Saint will choose a disciple from the “young generation.”

As for what constitutes the young generation?

By cosmic standards, anyone under three thousand years old is considered young.

Initially, this was just a rumor.

Until the Lifeless Sect appeared and confirmed the truth of the message.

The Lifeless Sect, a sect devoted to the True Saint, known across the cosmos, with Sect Hierarch Xia Yang in direct communication with the True Saint, ensuring the authenticity of the message.

Instantly, countless cultivators across the cosmos were thrown into frenzy.

This was the Thirteenth Realm accepting an apprentice.

Don’t you see that some Saint Emperors in the cosmos, merely by following the True Saint, like the Yin Yue Saint Emperor, Boundless Saint Emperor, and Deep Sea Saint Emperor, have advanced from ordinary Saint Emperors to top Saint Emperors, extending their lifespans by millions of years?

If one could become a True Saint Disciple, what would that entail?

“Damn it, why was I born millions of years too soon? Otherwise, I’d have a chance this time too.” This was from a Twelfth Realm being; even the Twelfth Realm envies such an opportunity.

“Please, True Saint, widen the range a little. If worse comes to worst, accepting servants is also fine.”

“I probably won’t have a chance, and I wonder who the lucky one will be to become a True Saint Disciple.”

This kind of news spread across the old and new lands on the internet, with Huangtian and others naturally aware as well.
