Sword Venerable

"Master, that somewhat aloof young man is at the Stellar Level Ninth Order, and the other white-robed, bald old man's strength is beyond the detection range; he's estimated to be a super powerhouse above the Immortal Realm!" Xiao Qi's voice rang out promptly. ✌👣 💛🍭

Luo Zhe was startled; he hadn't expected to encounter an Immortal Level powerhouse just by randomly landing on an unknown planet.

He bowed slightly, cupped his hands in thanks to the two men, and said, "I must thank you both for saving my life earlier; Luo Zhe will never forget it."

The bald, white-robed old man smiled slightly and said, "We didn't do anything special, we just pulled you out of that Escape Pod. But, young man, how did you end up on this planet? Where's your teacher?"

Upon hearing the bald old man's question, Luo Zhe instantly became alert, his body tensing. What did this bald old man want by asking so clearly? Did he have ulterior motives towards him?

Luo Zhe's body relaxed again. He thought to himself that the other party was Immortal Level expert. If he really wanted to do something to him, he wouldn't need to beat around the bush like this.

So Luo Zhe shook his head and honestly recounted what had happened.

Upon hearing what had happened, the old man's smile widened, drawing a sidelong glance from the indifferent young man beside him. Clearly, the bald old man's behavior today was somewhat unusual compared to his usual self.

He muttered to himself, "Could they be trying to take me as their disciple? That kind of plot has been overused in novels. 😝🍬 69ѕнⓊⓍ.ⓒỖм ✎♩"

The white-robed, bald old man flipped his right hand, and a Jade Slip fell into his palm. He smiled at Luo Zhe and said, "Young man, I see you are exceptionally talented. A spiritual light flashes behind you, indicating you are a peerless genius suited for cultivation. I have a Great Heaven Battle Staff Technique here, with boundless power. Once mastered, it can shatter space and time with a mere flick of the wrist. How about it? Are you interested in becoming my disciple and learning this peerless staff technique?"

Luo Zhe: "."

indifferent youth. "."

Luo Zhe cautiously asked, "Sir, if—I mean, if—I refuse, what will happen?" He nervously swallowed, carefully observing every change in the bald old man's expression.

The bald old man's expression froze instantly, while the indifferent young man beside him turned pale and slightly shifted his body, the Blood-Colored Longsword on his back seemingly ready to strike.

"Oh, I was just asking casually. Since you think so highly of me, sir, I'm naturally willing to become your disciple." Luo Zhe quickly put on a warm smile, cupped his hands to the old man, and said, "Greetings, teacher!"

"Greetings, Senior Brother!" Then, he bowed to the indifferent young man.

At this moment, the bald old man's face lit up with a joyful smile again, and he said, "Disciple, no need for such formalities. ✩ 🎀 🎀 ✩" As he spoke, he tossed the Jade Slip slip in his hand to Luo Zhe.

"My name is Sword Venerable, and all my skills are contained in a Longsword. This is your senior brother, Bolan, who was my disciple fifty years ago." The bald old man, or rather Sword Venerable, patted his shiny bald head with his right hand and smiled.

Luo Zhe thought to himself, "His nickname is Sword Venerable, which clearly means he's a master swordsman. So this supposedly amazing Great Heaven Battle Staff Technique is just a bunch of nonsense for kids."

Thinking this to himself, he calmly asked, "I'd like to ask you, Master, why did you accept me as your disciple? A powerful figure like you has seen all kinds of geniuses and experts. Logically, you wouldn't suddenly have the urge to take me as your disciple, would you? Is there some special reason?"

The aloof young man, Bolan, also quietly pricked up his ears and looked at the Sword Venerable. He was also very curious as to why his usually cold and taciturn teacher would suddenly take a Planetary Level Fighter as his disciple.

The old man's gaze swept over the two of them, then he smiled and said, "Very well, then I'll explain the reason to you."

"Countless years ago, I fully comprehended the rules of space and stepped into the Venerable Level. I rose to prominence among the Human Race and gained the appreciation of many powerful figures in various races, but this also attracted the hostility of many rival races."

"But back then, I had just broken through to the next level, full of vigor and ambition. I explored the Cosmic Secret Realm with a few close friends, slaying countless Alien Race immortals and dodging countless ambushes by powerful Alien Race. It was incredibly exhilarating!"

"But when you walk by the river, you're bound to encounter ghosts. While exploring a mysterious Cosmic Secret Realm, we never expected that the Monster Clan had laid a trap within it beforehand. Unaware of this, my two Venerable friends and I fell into the trap and were surrounded and attacked by the Monster Clan. In the battle, my two friends unfortunately perished, while I was fortunate enough to survive thanks to the timely arrival of a powerful human being."

Luo Zhe nodded. This was perfectly normal. When there is conflict between clans, they will stop at nothing. The only problem was that they were too complacent and accidentally fell into the trap set by the Monster Clan.

The bald Sword Venerable continued, "The fall of my two friends grieved me deeply, and I even considered marching into the Demon Race Territory and wreaking havoc! But in the end, a top human expert personally intervened and stopped me. He told me that countless human experts have died at the hands of Alien Race races over the years! But as long as our Human Race hasn't grown strong enough to dominate the universe, we must endure this situation."

"Humanity's situation is not as peaceful and stable as we imagine; countless Alien Race races are constantly eyeing us, eager to drive us out of this land!"

"And we want to change this situation!"

"If more top-tier powerhouses, even one invincible supreme being, were to emerge from among humanity, only then could the Human Race achieve greater stability!" The bald Sword Venerable's voice grew louder as he turned to Luo Zhe and Bolan beside him, saying, "I know that with my own strength, even if I slaughter countless ordinary Monster Clan in the Demon Race Territory, it will be futile! Because only the top-tier powerhouses and the supreme being can truly determine the fate of this Human Race!"

"I've lived long enough, and I no longer have the drive to reach higher levels. But you are different, and many more geniuses within the Human Race still have enough potential to continue growing. As long as even one of you grows up to become a top-tier expert or even the strongest, my years of effort will not have been in vain."

The bald-headed Sword Venerable looked at Luo Zhe and said in a deep voice, "As for you, although you Planetary Level Planetary Level now, I can see the strong aura of the Space Origin Law on you. You have definitely stepped into the threshold of the Space Origin Law! To be able to comprehend the Space Law at the planetary level, with the talent you have shown in the Space Law, as long as you don't perish and cross the immortality barrier, you will definitely become a strong person who can rival me, or even surpass me!"

"Me?" Luo Zhe pointed to himself, somewhat amused and exasperated. He hadn't expected that anyone in this world would have such high expectations of him.

"The Great Heaven Battle Staff Technique in the Jade Slip I gave you earlier was a unique manual used by one of the two fallen Venerables, who was skilled in using a staff. My friend, like you, was proficient in the Wind Origin Law and the Space Law. I passed this staff technique on to you because I felt you had a great talent for mastering it," the Bald Sword Venerable said, stroking his shiny bald head.

Luo Zhe tossed the Jade Slip slip in his hand, glanced at the bald Sword Venerable, and thought to himself, "I'll just follow him and cultivate for a while. He's a Venerable expert after all, so it's not a bad deal."
