Chapter 621: The Son of Luck in the Jianxuan Great World, The talent for practice that multiplies geometrically

The man who looked like a butler seemed to be in his twenties. Although he was wearing a butler’s attire with handsome features and an extraordinary bearing, his expression was calm and composed, seemingly quite reclusive.

He arrived with a jade plate on which there were many melons, fruits, and wines, obviously, he was ordered by the old city lord.

“Lin En put your things here first.” The old city lord said with a solemn expression and waved his hand to signal the butler to step back.

However, the man named Lin En didn’t move, but asked in surprise, “From outside the sky?”

His eyes fell on Gu Changge, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and then said respectfully, “My lord, I can protect the safety of you and Miss.”

The old city lord nodded, but his expression remained unchanged, full of vigilance.

When Ah Qing mentioned Gu Changge’s origin just now, everyone in the hall was stunned and couldn’t believe their ears. After comprehending the meaning, everyone’s complexion changed drastically. Their eyes widened in shock, and they couldn’t help but take a few steps back.

In their eyes, the extraterrestrial demons that had come from outside the sky had mysterious origins, terrifying strength, and were in endless numbers. When the current Jianxuan Great World was basically talking about the demons outside the territory everyone would feel fear.

Gu Changge in front of him actually was from beyond the sky, how could this not shock them?

At that moment, the old city lord and Ah Qing’s mother tensed up, staring at Gu Changge with extreme vigilance.

“Grandpa, mother, don’t be like this, Mr. Gu is a good person, completely different from what you think.”

Ah Qing knew that things would turn out like this. Although she was helpless, she explained it again, telling them that Gu Changge was different from the group of extraterrestrial demons. He had no malice toward the Jianxuan Great World. Not only did he save her life, but he also saved Princess Xuandie.

“Oh? I see?” The old city lord and Ah Qing’s mother still looked skeptical, but they still breathed a sigh of relief.

If one thought about it carefully, if Gu Changge really had any malicious intentions toward them, they would not be able to resist at all. Coupled with the fact that Princess Xuandie was also here, this matter should not be faked.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Gu, for making you misunderstood again.” Ah Qing apologized to Gu Changge beside him.

Gu Changge still had a gentle and jade-like appearance on his face, he waved his hands slightly and said with a smile, “It’s okay, it’s just a trivial matter to me.”

Ah Qing hummed in a low voice and strange thoughts filled her mind. Whether it was when she was rescued in the Upper Realm or all the way back to the Jianxuan Great World, she was misunderstood by everyone.

Gu Changge always had such a gentle look, as if the sky would fall and his expression would not change in the slightest. Although she was dedicated to Taoism, obsessed with sword cultivation, and determined to surpa.s.s her father, she was only a teenage girl after all.

During this period of time, some emotions that shouldn’t be there were always growing in her heart. Fortunately, she hid them well and did not show them. To her, Gu Changge was not just a lifesaver, but also a ray of light piercing the darkness in despair.

“Our actions just now were so presumptuous, I hope Mr. Gu will not be offended.”

After all, the old city lord was a person who had seen the big world. After calming down, he cupped his hands and apologized to Gu Changge, who smiled and said, “It’s okay, it’s a special period, and your reactions are normal.”

Seeing that Gu Changge’s easygoing att.i.tude did not seem to be fake, the old city owner and the others were relieved again, and they were not as vigilant as before.

“Grandpa, who is this?” At this time, Ah Qing noticed the young man dressed as a butler next to the old city lord and asked with some doubts.

In her impression, the housekeeper of the Ancient Mulberry City was an old servant, extremely old. How could he be a strange young man?

“His name is Lin En, and he is Uncle Lin’s grandson. Uncle Lin died of illness some time ago, and Lin En took the token to find him, intending to find a job in this Ancient Mulberry City. I saw that he is mature, steady, smart and he is at ease in doing things. So I let him take over Uncle Lin’s affairs.” The old city lord explained that when Lin En was mentioned, his eyes were full of satisfaction.

“I see.” Ah Qing nodded and looked back at Lin En.

“Greetings, Miss.” Lin En was standing beside the old city lord with a smile on his face. Seeing this, he opened his mouth and greeted Ah Qing.

He was of medium build with extremely handsome features, and a calm and steady expression, which gave people a convincing feeling.

“It’s also thanks to Lin En during this time. Otherwise, the Ancient Mulberry City would have been really chaotic. Some time ago, your father’s enemy came to the door, and Lin En helped him deal with it.” Ah Qing’s mother on the side also said that she was extremely satisfied with this young housekeeper.

“Mother, don’t worry, after I have come back, leave the affairs of those enemies to me. If they still dare to come to the door, they will come but never leave.” Ah Qing had a bit of cold killing intent on his face.

“Housekeeper?” Gu Changge’s thoughtful eyes fell on this man named Lin En.

Not long after the original housekeeper died of illness, his grandson came to the door with a token. This kind of thing was too coincidental. What was more, he felt an unusually familiar aura from this man.

Son of Luck!

Moreover, it was an extremely huge amount of Luck. From the perspective of the Jianxuan Great World, there were also existences like the Son of Luck, and it was such a coincidence that he b.u.mped into him here.

This made Gu Changge feel a little inexplicable. If it was a coincidence, he actually didn’t believe it. Before, he felt that this ancient mulberry city was not simple. Although it looked extremely remote, it contained a beautiful scene, the source of thousands of sects.

Thinking about it this way, it was not as simple as it seemed on the surface that this Son of Luck would come here.

In addition, with the ident.i.ty of the butler of the City Lord’s Mansion, no matter what he did in this Ancient Mulberry City, it was easy and would not arouse the slightest suspicion.

“And I always feel that this person is not the true body, more like an incarnation… The enemies of Ah Qing’s father back then were probably resolved by him as well.”

Thinking of this, Gu Changge couldn’t help laughing, but he didn’t choose to startle the snake. He actually wanted to know what this Son of Luck wanted to accomplish.

If it was just an incarnation, where was his true body? Because of Ah Qing’s return, the entire Ancient Mulberry City became lively.

The city lord’s mansion held a large banquet, but at the moment when the war was tense and the clouds were shrouded in gloom, it finally diluted the haze that was hanging over everyone’s hearts. However, the origin of Gu Changge was only circulated within the city lord’s mansion and was not spread outside, so as not to cause an unnecessary sensation.

During the banquet, they learned about Ah Qing’s tragic experience during this period in detail and that she was even nearly tortured to death as a prisoner. The old city lord and the others were frightened for a while, and their hearts jumped. With this the last trace of doubt about Gu Changge was dispelled in their hearts. If it weren’t for Gu Changge, Ah Qing would have been buried in the sky long ago, how could she return safely?

In terms of emotion and reason, Gu Changge was their great benefactor.

“It turns out that the Outer Sky is such a vast world, a place where the Heavens meet…”

During the banquet, Lin En, the young butler silently ordered many maids to bring various delicacies. He kept listening to the voice of conversation from Gu Changge’s side, and he seemed to be quite impressed.

At the very beginning, he thought that the Sword Immortals in the Jianxuan Great World were the pinnacle of this world. It wasn’t until later that he learned that the extraterrestrial demons had invaded and that there were other worlds beyond this world. It was then he suddenly realized that Sword Immortal was just another starting point, and there was a wider world waiting for him there.

“The world is vast, and the realm is endless. What kind of world is above the Jianxuan world?” Lin En couldn’t help being fascinated.

He felt that he had reached the limit that this world could bear, to the point where the void could be shattered, but it was still difficult to take that last step. Perhaps only by detaching from this world and stepping into the so-called place where the Heavens meet could he break through the last shackles.

“It is said that this ancient mulberry city was the hermitage of a Peerless Sword Immortal 800,000 years ago. He is also the only existence that has been recorded and has successfully shattered the void. It’s a pity that I have been searching here for half a year, but I still can’t find the records left by him…”

After the banquet, Lin En walked into the courtyard, his eyes gradually deepened, and a completely different temperament emerged from him.

The ancient mulberry city had been contaminated with the aura of the Peerless Sword Immortal of 800,000 years. Even though it had been so long, it was still extraordinary. There were inexplicable imprints in many areas, which could help people realize Taoism and cultivate it. But what he cared about was not the perception of that Peerless Sword Immortal, but the skills left by that Peerless Sword Immortal.

Since the day he was born, he had possessed a terrifying cultivation talent beyond ordinary people. With regards to the same technique, when practicing for the first time, the speed was onefold. Then the next time it would become twofold, fourfold, eightfold… presenting a terrifying geometric multiplier speed.

This also led to a result, any cultivation method in his hands could quickly reach the state of perfection.

In a short period of time, his cultivation had reached a terrifying level that was difficult for his peers to match. But the next problem he faced was that he couldn’t find a way to break through to a higher level.

Even the current major sects in the Jianxuan Great World, such as Shu Sect, Mount Kong, and Sword Sect… couldn’t find a suitable technique for him.

In the end, by chance, he saw a record about the ancient mulberry city in an ancient book, so he came to try his luck, trying to find the inheritance left by the Peerless Sword Immortal from 800,000 years ago.

“If I can’t find it in the last few days, then I can only return to Shuzong. Brother suddenly used the Sword Immortal Token to summon the Sword Immortals from all over the world. What is the reason?” Lin En’s figure gradually faded away as he disappeared into the courtyard, and searched again in the Ancient Mulberry City.

He was originally a disciple of the Shu Sect, but because the master he worshiped was of a higher seniority, his status in the Shu Sect was very high, and he was honored as the little master. But in terms of real age, he was only in his twenties.

In the City Lord’s Mansion, Gu Changge temporarily lived in a very quiet courtyard. Small bridges with flowing water, pavilions with flying leaves with flowers and clear spring tinkling seemed very elegant.

The sound of the piano played by Princess Xuandie could also be heard next door. It was clear and moving, just like a hundred birds, but it seemed quite leisurely.

“Looks like that guy is looking for something.” Gu Changge’s divine sense swept out from here, covering almost the entire Ancient Mulberry City, so he quickly discovered the trace of the young butler Lin En.

After leaving the City Lord’s Mansion, he turned into a cloud of green smoke and wandered around the city, as if looking for something. This made Gu Changge a little interested. But suddenly, he raised his eyebrows and looked towards a certain area of the Ancient Mulberry City.

There used to be a luxuriant ancient wood forest with large areas of ancient mulberries and ancient locust trees growing there, but most of them had died. The trunks of the old trees were bare, and many trunks had become hollow holes, but they were tenaciously alive, lying here like dragons.

From among those tree trunks, visions were now manifesting.

Wisps of purple aura were transpiring between Heaven and Earth with ghostly shadows even appearing in a trance as thousands of sword lights were intertwined and blooming.

It seemed as if a supreme swordsman once practiced his sword here, and the Heavens and the Earth imprinted his Dao. Even after many years, the Dao had contaminated this land.

“Great. I finally found it.” Lin En’s figure appeared in this ancient mulberry forest, with a rare look of excitement on his face.

Even after hundreds of thousands of years, he could still feel the supreme sword energy imprinted here, even if it was only a wisp left, he could still see the power of the original master. Worthy of the t.i.tle of Peerless Sword Immortal!

“If I look for it here, I might be able to feel the inheritance of that Sword Immortal.”

At that moment, Lin En didn’t hesitate and casually played a few sword techniques to prevent anyone from disturbing him before he went to the depths of the ancient mulberry forest and sat cross-legged.

Gu Changge’s divine sense had been paying attention to this scene. When he saw the excitement on Lin En’s face, his eyes suddenly became playful.

“Since you want this inheritance, then I will give it to you.” He smiled and then deduced an ancient language with his vast divine sense.

To be precise, this was not any language, but just a kind of divine thought, which seemed to have pa.s.sed through the ages and spread for hundreds of millions of years, as if it had penetrated a star field universe and reappeared in the world.

“What?”

Lin En’s spiritual consciousness was so powerful, but under the aftermath of this sound, his face was extremely pale, a mouthful of blood spurted from the corner of his mouth, and he almost collapsed.
