Chapter 604: The Epitome of Luck
Yun Qingxi seemed to understand, "I think I can understand a little bit, even if I can't put myself in their shoes."
"Is this also the reason why they are so crazy about the Saint?"
Xiao Yiyang nodded, "Brother Yun, just think about what happened to Brother Gu Fan before."
Yun Qingxi was puzzled, "Does this have anything to do with Gu Fan's family?"
"Gu Fan's family is a microcosm of countless small sects of independent cultivators, and even a microcosm of luck." When Xiao Yi Yang said this, there was a meaningful expression on his face.
Yun Qingxi was shocked, "Gu Fan's family was harmed like that, and they are still the epitome of luck?!"
Xiao Yiyang said slowly: "If it wasn't for luck, how could Gu Fan's brother be trained as the top priority by Xiaoheng Wushan? If we really want to compare the effort and hard work invested..."
"Xiaoheng Wushan's investment in Brother Gu Fan is definitely no less than what Qingxiao Sword Sect has invested in Gu Qingjue."
Yun Qingxi was about to argue as soon as she opened her mouth. Xiao Yiyang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Brother Yun, don't refute me yet. Just listen to what I have to say."
"I only said that the effort and energy invested are equal, but I didn't say that the amount of cultivation resources invested is equal."
"In terms of cultivation resources, the former is naturally far inferior to the latter, but I believe that Xiaoheng Wushan has tried his best to do the best."
"I asked Gu Fan about his brother's cultivation level before he died."
Yun Qingxi's curiosity was also aroused, and she couldn't help but move closer to listen carefully, "How is it?"
"It is close to the Great Perfection of Guan Yuan."
When Xiao Yiyang revealed the answer, Yun Qingxi's first reaction was to not take it seriously, but he soon thought of Xiaoheng Wushan's strength. Even if the seven major sects were left out of the entire Host Alliance, it was far from being ranked top...
A disciple trained by such a sect actually reached Guanyuan at the age of less than 20.
This level is not inferior even among the seven major sects, but it is still far from geniuses like Luo Jinghua and Gu Qingjue. These two have reached the level close to Liufang before the age of twenty.
Xiao Yiyang seemed to see through Yun Qingxi's thoughts and said in a gentle and persuasive manner, "Brother Yun, don't underestimate Gu Fan's brother."
"It's not enough to just think that this achievement is invaluable. You have to think about it the other way around. If Gu Fan's brother had received the same cultivation resources as Gu Qingjue, Luo Jinghua and the others from the beginning, what would his cultivation level be like?"
"The barrenness of Xiaohengwu Mountain is unimaginable to the disciples of our seven major sects."
Yun Qingxi really did as Xiao Yiyang said. After thinking about it, she immediately took a breath of cold air.
In the end, he just stared at Xiao Yiyang with a serious expression and murmured:
"…I can't believe it…"
Xiao Yiyang agreed, "It is indeed hard to imagine, because such a thing has never happened before and we have no examples to refer to."
"But in my imagination, Gu Fan's brother might become a genius as famous as Gu Qingjue and Luo Jinghua."
"What a pity..." After hearing this, Yun Qingxi's eyes were unconsciously filled with regret.
Xiao Yiyang had not forgotten the main topic and sighed, "As I said, Xiaoheng Wushan has done the best that its sect can do to train Gu Fan's brother, but that's all."
"It is just like many other small sects of independent cultivators. The gap between it and the seven major sects is too big. It is so big that it cannot be made up by Brother Gu Fan's talent."
"Thousands of years have passed, and there has only been one person who has overturned the entire Central Continent with his own strength. Who knows if there will be another person like him in the long time to come."
Yun Qingxi was also very impressed after hearing this, "That person is truly a legend in Zhongzhou, but his name is no longer allowed to be mentioned."
"As disciples of the seven great sects, we at least have a few ways to learn about that past. Those small sects of independent cultivators should have long forgotten about that past. Obviously, that person should be the leader of all the small sects of independent cultivators in Central Continent."
"He fought alone all the way, and in the end, no one in the Central Continent could stand up to him." Xiao Yiyang shook his head with emotion, "He was truly invincible."
Yun Qingxi took a long time to remember what the two of them had talked about at the beginning, and couldn't help but said in a daze, "That's not right!"
"Even if Gu Fan's brother was lucky to receive Xiao Heng Wu Shan's full training, it is also a fact that he later died tragically because of Luo Ping Yang. How can it be called lucky?"
Xiao Yiyang's expression became more emotional, "Brother Yun, you think Gu Fan's brother is unlucky because you are comparing yourself to him."
“But compared to the thousands of other small sects of independent practitioners, Gu Fan’s brother is extremely lucky to have cultivated to the level of Guan Yuan.”
He changed the subject and said, "If Wushan had not relaxed the standards for cultivation for this selection, how many disciples from small sects do you think would be able to participate in this selection, come to Wushan, and meet the Saint?"
Yun Qingxi was stunned and speechless for a moment. Xiao Yiyang continued: "Not to mention the current situation that the number of disciples in the seven major sects of Wushan is even less than that of the small sects with independent cultivation."
His next words shocked Yun Qingxi even more, "Do you really think that all the geniuses in Central Continent come from the seven major sects of our host alliance?"
"The way of heaven is unfair, but it won't be biased to this extent."
“Let’s not even talk about the strength of those small sects of independent cultivators. There are so many geniuses with the same qualifications as that person. Let’s not even talk about Gu Qingjue and Luo Jinghua. Let’s just talk about you and me.”
"Qualifications like yours and mine are not considered rare in those small sects."
"But how many of them can cultivate to our current level?"
Yun Qingxi didn't expect that Xiao Yiyang would even insult himself in order to explain things clearly to him, but he knew very well in his heart that what Xiao Yiyang said was true, and now he just wanted to get over it quickly.
"Okay, okay, I admit that we are both lucky because of our good family background. If it weren't for the various cultivation resources poured into our family, we would definitely become mediocre and would not be able to reach our current level!"
Xiao Yiyang smiled good-naturedly, "I didn't say that. Brother Yun, just understand what I meant."
After saying that, he rubbed Yun Qingxi's head and said, "Don't belittle yourself. I am not saying this to discourage you, Brother Yun."
"As long as you desire to improve your realm, you will suffer all the hardships you have to endure."
Xiao Yiyang paused and added: "But becoming a Saint's servant is an exception."
Yun Qingxi didn't expect that this topic had gone around in such a big circle and was actually brought back to the topic by Xiao Yiyang.
Xiao Yiyang spread his hands helplessly, "Now, Brother Yun, you can understand why those people are so crazy about the Saint."
"The Saint not only means an improvement in their realm, but also means hope for them."
"It is not only hope for themselves, but also the hope for the entire sect behind them. And even the entire group of small sects of independent cultivators."
After listening to the whole story, Ranran finally understood why the saint became a succubus.
In Central Continent, where strength is everything, it can be said that everyone is a cultivation fanatic. As a humanoid plug-in that can quickly improve one's cultivation, it is impossible for the Saint Lady not to be sought after!
Even though in everyone's mind, becoming the Saint's servant is equivalent to becoming the Saint's slave, there are still countless people flocking to it.
At the same time, Ranran did not forget another key piece of information she heard.
Thousands of years ago, there was a powerful monk in Central Continent who was invincible.
As Ranran thought about it, he couldn't help but turn his head to observe the saint.
The four words "invincible" are describing the current state of the Saint.
This means that the person that Yun Qingxi and Xiao Yiyang have been thinking about has appeared!
