Chapter 37

"Truly a madman who acts recklessly and lawlessly."

Yu Wupo reached out to signal the Bright Left and Right Envoys and others not to be impatient, and then looked at the youth in the green robe with appreciative eyes:

"Zhuang Buran, you are young and have martial arts that traverse the world; what is the point of wandering in the Jianghu? Why not join my Ming Cult and do great things together? Wouldn't that be happy?"

"Sect Leader Yu is really good at calculating; Zhuang just wants a martial art, but you not only want my martial arts, but also intend to let me be a cow and a horse, and die for the Ming Cult."

Zhuang Buran sneered:

"You are already old and about to enter the soil; why do you still think so beautifully?"

"Sect Leader, this villain is simply a rebellious and violent person," the Bright Right Envoy could no longer hold back.

Yu Wupo's face did not change, as if she had great patience:

"Now the vast martial arts world no longer has a place for you; join my Ming Cult, and it is not impossible for you to become the next Sect Leader of my sect."

"Is this the so-called drawing a cake to satisfy hunger?" Zhuang Buran laughed dumbly.

Yu Wupo asked back:

"You don't believe it?"

"Just because Sect Leader Yu can suppress the Ming Cult from top to bottom, it can make Zhuang have a few points of trust, but unfortunately Zhuang is unwilling."

"Why?" Yu Wupo frowned:

"You should see that this old woman has no malice towards you, and thinks highly of you."

"No malice?"

Zhuang Buran shook his head:

"Sect Leader Yu, have you never heard such a story? Once there was a sea bird that flew to the State of Lu; the ruler of Lu had never seen this bird, regarded it as a divine bird, so he used gold as a cage, set up a banquet, and let people dance, treating it with the treatment of a feudal lord with bells and cauldrons, but the sea bird was scared to death."

"Does the ruler of Lu have malice?"

He asked and answered himself:

"None, but it is just doing bad things with good intentions; it is said that what you do not want, do not impose on others, but Zhuang prefers what you strongly want, also do not impose on others."

"Becoming a Sect Leader, holding the power of life and death, achieving great things; if successful, not only will you have all the power and status, but the brilliant history books will record your life and death," Yu Wupo was very puzzled:

"Becoming a true great hero who saves the world, this is what is worth coming to the world for; this should be what men in the world are most happy to do."

"Do not take what you think as what everyone in the world thinks, and then impose it on the world," Zhuang Buran said lazily:

"For me, the ultimate goal of being a person is leisure, not the so-called wealth and glory, so I just want to live freely and happily in my own way."

Yu Wupo's attitude suddenly turned cold:

"This old woman understands; it turns out you are a short-sighted person with no great ambition who only wants to be carefree."

"Oh, is that so?" the youth in the green robe said casually and freely:

"In Zhuang's eyes, Sect Leader Yu is just a tamed cow and horse; how can you not know that the most precious thing for a person is life, and the value of life lies in freedom."

"If the words are not speculative, half a sentence is too much; you want the treasure of my sect, to avoid unnecessary slaughter," Yu Wupo said seriously:

"This old woman will give you this skill to practice, but I will say it first, you must practice it on Bright Peak; if you cannot practice it, you cannot leave; if you cannot practice it for one day, you will stay on Bright Peak for one day; if you cannot practice it for a lifetime, you will stay on Bright Peak for a lifetime."

"How about it? Do you dare to gamble with this old woman once?"

She added at the end:

"Rest assured, on Bright Peak, this old woman will not force you to do things you are unwilling to do; I imagine that studying various divine skills and unique studies in the world is what you like to do most, otherwise you would not have obtained the martial arts of those Five Greats."

A rich smile appeared in Zhuang Buran's eyes, and he said:

"Sect Leader Yu has grasped Zhuang's preferences; why not gamble? I want to see how difficult your sect's divine skill is to practice."

Immediately, only a few Dharma Protector Kings remained in the main hall, and Yu Wupo took the Left and Right Bright Envoys to get the secret manual first.

"Sect Leader, do you really want to give the divine skill to that kid to practice?" the Bright Left Envoy asked.

"Our sect's divine skill is written in Persian; do you think he can understand it?" Yu Wupo said slowly.

The Left and Right Bright Envoys were stunned, and immediately showed joy.

"Even if Zhuang Buran can understand Persian, so what? You have joined the sect for decades; don't you know that most of the past Sect Leaders died unnatural deaths? Except for those who died in rebellion, they all died inexplicably, just because they practiced this divine skill."

Yu Wupo sighed:

"This old woman can live to this age safely, just because I did not force myself to practice the 'Great Universe Shift'; seeing that I had no progress after practicing the second layer for twenty-one years, I stopped practicing."

"Sect Leader is far-sighted; we admire it very much," the Left and Right Bright Envoys looked at each other and complimented with great tacit understanding.

At this time, Yu Wupo revealed the decisiveness of a Sect Leader:

"Immediately let the Heaven, Earth, Wind, and Thunder gates and the five flags of Sharp Metal, Giant Wood, Flood Water, Fierce Fire, and Thick Earth be ready for battle, and surround the main hall."

"This Sect Leader wants to see if this madman who acts recklessly and lawlessly will jump over the wall in a hurry."

"Subordinates obey."

The Left and Right Bright Envoys immediately took the Sect Leader's order to mobilize troops.

More than an hour later, Yu Wupo led the Left and Right Bright Envoys back to the main hall.

"Zhuang Buran, this skill is unfathomable; not to mention that it is difficult to get started, once you practice it, if you are not careful, you will go into devilry, and if it is serious, you will burn your five internal organs and die."

"Besides that, this old woman is not a harsh person; this skill is divided into seven layers; you only need to practice to the fifth layer, and this bet will be considered your win."

Yu Wupo held a book and stared at the youth in the green robe, asking:

"Still gambling?"

"Zhuang is a rare genius in martial arts; what is there not to dare to gamble?" Zhuang Buran signaled.

"Refreshing; the original 'Great Universe Shift' cannot be damaged; this is a copy specially transcribed by this old woman; I also brought the original; do you want to compare it?"

Yu Wupo handed over the book and took out a scroll of sheepskin from her bosom.

"First the villain, then the gentleman; of course, we must compare it," Zhuang Buran said as a matter of course.

"Good."

Yu Wupo spread out the sheepskin in her hand, letting the youth in the green robe see it clearly.

"Sect Leader Yu, you are really good at calculating; do you think Zhuang doesn't understand these foreign characters?" Zhuang Buran shook his head.

"What does this mean?" Yu Wupo's face showed a just-right look of confusion:

"Our sect originated in Persia, originally named Manichaeism; as the treasure of the sect, it is naturally written in Persian."

"So that's it; fortunately, Zhuang knows a few languages outside the Central Plains, and it just so happens that Persian is one of them."

After Zhuang Buran finished speaking, Yu Wupo's face stagnated, and she could not help but smile stiffly:

"Very good, very good; it seems that you have a deep fate with our sect."

The youth in the green robe stopped talking, opened the book, and compared it with the martial arts mental method on the sheepskin.

After a while, he closed the book and looked around:

"Sect Leader Yu, Zhuang is about to practice, and you all stay in the hall; isn't it a bit inappropriate?"

"All go out," Yu Wupo ordered.

"Yes."

The Left and Right Bright Envoys and the Dharma Protector Kings walked away quickly.

"Zhuang kid, if you really cannot practice the 'Great Universe Shift', you just need to admit defeat and join the sect, then you don't have to be trapped on Bright Peak for a lifetime."

"If I really cannot practice it, eating and sleeping on Bright Peak for a lifetime is not bad."

"Incurable!"

Yu Wupo turned and walked out of the main hall.
