Chapter 255: 254 Was Everyone Beyond Saving?

In the following few years, Wang Wu's life trajectory wasn't much different from when he first arrived—he just got to know more people and made some friends.

Of course, he was also assigned a master.

He, Xuan Youzi, and Xuan Youzi's junior sister—the three of them belonged to the same mentor, ah no, the same master. They were under an Immortal Emperor-level powerhouse of the Qiong Lan Sect, who, though not holding any administrative post, held a very lofty status.

Xuan Youzi's junior sister was called Xuan Qingzi, a very lively and cute female cultivator with an equally outstanding appearance. She and her senior sister were also known as…

That's not important.

Time flew, years passed like a shuttle, and in the blink of an eye, ten years had gone by. Wang Wu successfully passed his 'newborn period' and officially became a Direct Transmission Disciple of the Qiong Lan Sect, having also completed many sect missions.

Because of Xuan Youzi's talent, the sect naturally chose the best master for her. As for Wang Wu, that was of course due to his 'uncle'.

And as the ten years passed, this uncle's strength had already progressed to a level that could be called heaven-defying.

Of course, he still hadn't broken through—he was still a distance from the next realm, not much, but not a little either.

As things stood, it would probably take another ten or twenty years. That's right, even a supremely talented powerhouse like First Day Wu still needed this much time.

If the one who came was First Day Wu's superior, that is, Wu He, the main city lord of Cloud Light City, the time might be a bit shorter, but Wu He clearly had no intention of coming here.

If he wanted to come, he would have come long ago.

Although there was this side's power system as a reference, they were ultimately two completely different universes, so First Day Wu didn't have much to actually reference—he still had to figure everything out on his own.

Even with a large number of top experts from another world as assistants, this still took time.

But to be fair, it was only ten or twenty years—everyone could afford to wait. What was this, after all? Everyone was a long-lived species.

Over the past ten years, Wang Wu had gradually been transitioning toward being a 'long-lived species'. He was becoming less and less sensitive to the passage of time.

Although ten years had passed, when he recalled the memories of these ten years in his mind, it felt like they had only happened yesterday.

Wang Wu's master had no Dao name; his name was Azure Mist. In the Qiong Lan Sect, higher-level cultivators all had the character 'Mist' in their names. This wasn't their real name, but after joining the Qiong Lan Sect, their names would become this.

At least, they had to be called this during work hours.

Azure Mist was a very young, handsome male cultivator who looked even younger than Wang Wu, probably around fifteen or sixteen, with a youthful appearance. He wasn't tall either, just over 1.7 meters.

However, he was very old-fashioned in his mannerisms. When scolding them, he always liked to clasp his hands behind his back, and the clothes he wore were a fashion style from tens of thousands of years ago.

In short, he was an old cultivator with immense strength but whose aesthetic sense and some concepts couldn't keep up with the times.

That's how long-lived species were, especially those with strong reproductive abilities.

Although cultivators' fertility decreased after transcending, ordinary people were very fertile, and the new experts who rose from among them naturally brought new 'fashion trends'.

When it came to fashion, ordinary people were definitely the most fashionable—after all, their lives were short, and they wouldn't agonize over trivial matters for ten or twenty years like some cultivators.

And ordinary people were also the most important and precious wealth and resource of a civilization.

Because it directly determined whether a civilization was strong or not.

The Qiong Lan Sect was responsible for managing this star region, and naturally also for the safety of the ordinary people within it. About eighty percent of the annual sect missions were of this type.

Clearing true calamities, slaughtering aberrant beasts, and rescuing mortals.

Basically these, oh right, and also helping to handle some trivial worldly affairs.

This didn't sound like something an immortal cultivation sect should be doing, but that was the reality. As a top student, Wang Wu officially began cultivation five years ago, and in the following five years, he basically did these missions every year.

And sometimes he had to team up with fellow sect brothers and sisters, like that Xuan Youzi, or Xuan Qingzi, or a few others.

Not many of this year's new students were assigned under Azure Mist—only thirty-two in total. Among them, there were also different grades, and Wang Wu and the others were the highest of the high, belonging to the 'Direct Transmission Disciples'.

Wang Wu's strength was the weakest among all the Direct Transmission Disciples, even inferior to a few people in the second grade.

But that wasn't important. Although his strength was a bit weak, what Azure Mist valued in him wasn't his strength, but his potential, his indomitable spirit, and his…

Forget it, let's not dwell on that.

Today, Wang Wu couldn't remember what day of the week it was, and he couldn't be bothered to check his phone. Anyway, time wasn't important to him now.

He occasionally went back to spend time with his family and family demons, comfort them, and sometimes brought them here to look around. Life was quite relaxed and pleasant.

With advanced ride-hailing cars, even cross-galaxy travel was just a one- or two-hour trip. As for where the ride-hailing cars were from, that wasn't important either.

In the five years since becoming a Direct Transmission Disciple of the Qiong Lan Sect, Wang Wu often teamed up with Xuan Youzi, so he had come to understand this woman somewhat. Although their relationship had never been anything special, that didn't affect anything.

Because Wang Wu didn't care, and she didn't care either.

"Senior Sister, why do you always have to act together with that guy?"

Of course, Wang Wu didn't care, and Xuan Youzi didn't care either, but that didn't mean some others didn't. This included some fellow disciples who were interested in Xuan Youzi, as well as other sect members.

And of course, it also included this Xuan Youzi's junior sister.

On a ship constantly advancing through the dark starry sky, in a certain room, Xuan Qingzi hugged Xuan Youzi very affectionately, burying her head in the other's chest, and vented her dissatisfaction to her senior sister in a coquettish tone.

"Because he's the teammate I was assigned."

Xuan Youzi gently patted her junior sister's back, answering her question while looking at this mission's briefing.

"But, but he's so annoying! And so bad! Have you forgotten last time! He killed everyone on the entire planet!!!"

Xuan Youzi didn't speak, but her hand movements stopped.

After a moment of silence, she let out a soft sigh.

"They, those…"

"Those people were beyond saving."

Xuan Youzi said softly.

"Was everyone beyond saving!????" Xuan Qingzi was clearly dissatisfied with her senior sister's answer.
