Chapter 481: The Two of Them Grow Closer a Bit Fast

Translator: Subudai11 Editor: Chrissy

It was not uncommon in Nine Regions to have all sorts of conjectures about time travel. From the Supreme level cultivator close to ascend to immortality, to the storyteller in common tea house, all had their own conjectures about time travel.

Of course, they were all limited to conjectures only, because even the most enlightened cultivator could not manipulate time on a large scale. The Immortal Tea was just a legendary tale among cultivators, there had never been a true instance of time travel.

And according to w.a.n.g Lu's understanding, there were currently several popular conjectures. One of which was that history could not be changed. Even if by some means someone could return to the past, that someone would find out that he or she could not change anything that had happened, because returning to the past itself had already been the part of history. Another was the theory of alternate history. When someone traveled to the past, that someone could indeed change the course of history. However, from the moment that someone went back through time, the history had branched out, and what that someone could change was one of those branches.

Relatively speaking, w.a.n.g Lu preferred the second conjecture, because at least it gave people the possibility to exert subjective initiative. For example, in this present case, if w.a.n.g Lu's effort could change the tragic experience of Spirit Sword Sect, then he would certainly do his best.

As for the other branches of history that didn't change… they had nothing to do with him, so he didn't need to care.

Moreover, if his traveling back through time was already destined to be in the history, then… there was no reason no Elder of Spirit Sword Sect had ever mentioned this to him during his twenty years of cultivation. Let alone, he still clearly remembered when in the Immortal Gathering he almost lost the opportunity to enter the sect due to the nearsightedness of the Sect Leader.

If they remembered him, how could that mishap happen?

Therefore, from now on, he had to have a positive att.i.tude, to do everything that he could in this Savage Land to reverse the history. If he did well enough, perhaps the golden generation of Spirit Sword Sect might not die.

w.a.n.g Lu actually had no emotional attachment to the golden generation. After all, all the Elders who taught him skills were mostly unknown within the golden generation.

In other words, if the golden generation did not die, would the leader of Spirit Sword Sect still be Feng Yin? Would Fang He, Liu Xian and the others still be members of the Heavenly Sword Hall? Especially w.a.n.g Wu… Would w.a.n.g Wu still be w.a.n.g Wu?

However, w.a.n.g Lu didn't intend to be indifferent to what happened in the past because of these things.

In Spirit Sword Mountain, he had been getting along with the Elders for decades, and w.a.n.g Lu could clearly feel the tragic pain of the past was a shadow that they could never forget. If they could change the past… they would surely choose to change it, even if they had to sacrifice everything that they had right now.

w.a.n.g Lu had received great kindness from the Elders of Spirit Sword Sect… so he would just consider this as a gift for them.

Half a day later, the group, which now consisted of nine people, crossed Jade Forest, marched along the steep mountain road, until the Blessed Fountain was already in sight.

”Phew, we finally see the Blessed Fountain. But, along the way, we have consumed a lot, so let's camp here and we'll go to Blessed Mountain tomorrow to clear the area.”

After pondering for a moment, that was the decision of the lead disciple Ouyang Shang, who led the team while in front.

Thereupon a wave of cheer erupted from behind him. Several junior cultivators directly laid on the ground, not wanting to move even for a bit.

Ouyang Shang shrugged and slightly shook his head, apparently a bit dissatisfied with the laziness of his Juniors. Then he turned his head toward the similarly dressed young man who also had a similar appearance as him and softly said, ”Excuse me for this. Junior Brothers and Sisters haven't been able to handle it yet.”

”You're asking too much from them.”

w.a.n.g Lu lightly responded.

The journey was not smooth sailing. At this time, the Western Mountain of the Savage Land has yet to have the black tide that w.a.n.g Lu later saw. However, the indigenous creatures of the Savage Land were still a major threat that could not be ignored. In Jade Forest, they met a surprise attack from a monster. A group of tree monsters more than a hundred in numbers, all of which had already cultivated inner core, surrounded them. Their offense was like the tide, led by a fierce and brilliant person with owl face, with strength comparable to that of Peak Jindan Stage. Although from Spirit Sword Sect team there were two Daoist Masters of Jindan Stage, in the ensuing fierce battle, the magical power and elixirs that they consumed were no small matter.

However, in w.a.n.g Lu's view, their success in breaking through the encirclement without any injuries or deaths has been an incredible thing.

The team led by Ouyang Shang was not even the strongest elite of the golden generation. The strength of the eight disciples was uneven, which was formed by choosing from the more than one hundred disciples in a balanced way and thus no team would have overall strength exceedingly higher than the other teams. In Jade Forest, the owl-faced monster and its minions had terrifying strength, but under the leaders.h.i.+p of Ouyang Shang, all of them got through the daunting experience without mishap.
