You are already cultivating immortality, who would fight with you alone?

Chapter 329: Take the dark road, cultivate the thin field, and pass the narrow gate

"I used to be proud of my talent in swordsmanship..."

Wuji raised his head slightly, looking into the distance with a dazed gaze, as if immersed in memories of the past.

He pursed his lips slowly, and his voice became slightly lowered: "My brother... is the same."

As he spoke, Wuji gently raised his right hand and stared at the vague shadow of the small sword on his palm.

This shadow seemed to be in tune with his thoughts. As sadness and silence welled up in his heart, it gradually became dim, as if it had lost its former edge.

"How can we, the two brothers, fight against those giants?" Wuji shook his head helplessly, with a deep sense of powerlessness on his face.

"No matter how hard we practice and improve our swordsmanship, in their eyes, we are still as insignificant as ants."

At this point, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes, "So much so that later, my brother...actually became an innocent victim of their struggle for interests."

Wuji clenched his teeth, his body trembled uncontrollably, and the grief and anger in his heart surged like a tide.

"And I, in front of them... am just like a speck of dust, always so small and so humble!"

He took a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions, but tears still welled up in his eyes.

“If you can’t change the environment, you must adapt to it!”

At this moment, Liu Yuntian, who had been listening quietly, suddenly burst into laughter. The laughter sounded like the cry of a night owl, echoing in the silent air.

Wuji was startled by the sudden laughter and looked at Liu Yuntian in astonishment, his heart full of confusion and bewilderment.

He really couldn't understand why his serious recounting of his past experiences would cause Liu Yuntian to laugh so uncontrollably?

Is there something ridiculous in what I just said?

When Liu Yuntian finally laughed enough, he stopped laughing and said with heavy breathing: "You've been fooled!"

This sentence was like a thunderclap exploding in Wuji's ears, making him stand still on the spot for a moment.

Wuji's face froze instantly, and he asked in disbelief, "I was cheated?"

Liu Yuntian stepped forward, gently patted Wuji's shoulder, and asked with a teasing smile on his face, "Adapting to the environment?"

“Adapt to whose environment?”

These few short words hung in the air like a mystery.

Wuji was stunned by this sudden question, his mind went blank in an instant, and he didn't know how to answer.

Yes, whose environment should we adapt to?

This question seemed like an unsolvable puzzle, which troubled him deeply.

Before Wuji could figure out what was going on, Liu Yuntian started to explain: "This sentence was originally used to fool people like you."

There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone, "They have turned the environment into a mess, which has become a comfortable breeding ground for their group of parasites."

At this point, Liu Yuntian couldn't help but sneer, and then said: "And then they let you adapt to this mess they made? This so-called 'doghouse'?"

"Accept their selfishness? Compromise with their greed?!"

Hearing this, Wuji couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

After a moment, he seemed to have thought of something and slowly said, "But, the strong prey on the weak, this is the unchangeable law of the world!"

His eyes were firm and persistent, as if he believed in what he said. "Only by adapting to this environment and becoming strong can we survive. If I don't go along with them, how can I have the strength to defeat them?"

However, at this moment, Liu Yuntian suddenly said, "If I defeat you, does that mean I am also like you and those people, and have become corrupt?"

These words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Wuji's heart hard and leaving him stunned.

Then, Liu Yuntian was seen walking slowly with his hands behind his back.

At the same time, he muttered: "Back then, I occupied the land of Northern Frontier, and you called me the King of Northern Frontier..."

He paused for a moment and continued, "Or the Lord of the Northern Frontier... However, I don't care about these so-called titles at all, because the ambition in my heart is much greater than this!" At this point, Liu Yuntian's eyes suddenly became sharp.

"Despite this, I have never stood shoulder to shoulder with you, nor have I bowed my head to you or those high and mighty holy places!" His voice unconsciously rose a few notches, with an indescribable firmness.

"Admittedly, I must admit that I did choose to give in and compromise in front of you. You could even say I gave in."

"It was undoubtedly an extremely embarrassing thing, but under the circumstances at the time, I really had no other choice."

Liu Yuntian shook his head slightly, with a hint of helplessness on his face.

"However, as the saying goes, 'Those who achieve great things do not pay attention to trivial matters'! Since I cannot win in a head-on confrontation, I will hide for the time being."

"Even if you bully me and laugh at me, I will endure the humiliation and accept it all."

"But when my Northern Frontier grows stronger, I will return with the force of thunder and lightning! By then, I will use the most drastic means to take back everything that has been lost!"

At the end, Liu Yuntian's voice became a little excited.

But he soon lowered his voice again, came to Wuji, and asked, "Even wild animals know that if they can't adapt to the environment, they have to migrate..."

"Don't you understand?"

"You gave up your bright future... and joined a bunch of rabble in a small alley, imitating their vile methods and charging out again?"

"Take the dark path... till the thin field... pass through the narrow gate..."

"This is not stupid..."

“This is wisdom!”

"It's risky, but also fast!"

At this moment, Wuji's pupils kept shrinking and his whole body became dazed.

Liu Yuntian noticed that something seemed wrong and waved his fingers in front of his eyes.

But Wuji still didn't respond.

Liu Yuntian subconsciously looked up at the five shadows floating in the sky.

"what happened to him?"

But the five people ignored him.

Still chattering about something.

"No, no!"

"It's not like I haven't seen swordsmen with great swordsmanship before! This kid's swordsmanship is far from good enough!"

The wise king Xingzhe immediately boasted, "If this were Kenshin, I would drink my own foot washing water in front of you!"

Upon hearing this, the swordsman simply glanced at him, then pulled his hat down again and remained silent.
