From a carp to a dragon god

Chapter 21: Master Yu Talks About Doing Things
Yu Shuyang had a vague feeling that something bad was going to happen in the blessed land, especially from the Master's few words, but it had never been so explicit.

"Master, what kind of happy event makes you so happy?" Yu Shuyang asked curiously.

"There's no need to tell you this, but I see you're no longer lazy and are planning to enter the Dao this year.

I can tell you about it, but do you know the rules?"

Master Yu looked at his only disciple calmly and silently.

Yu Shuyang was still under a lot of pressure. The teacher's attitude towards academic research was always rigorous, and he required him to study hard.

"Master, are you going to talk about the principle of faith?"

“Even though it’s not right, it’s not too bad either. You still need to study, otherwise, it will only waste your talent.

The Book of Changes says: If plans are not kept secret, harm will occur. Therefore, a gentleman is cautious and keeps secret.

This is the rule for dealing with others, you must remember it."

Mr. Yu remained steady, his expression without a trace of fluctuation, and his words were always gentle and persuasive.

"Yes, Master, I will remember this." Yu Shuyang followed suit and bowed, guessing in his heart that he was not going to ask or not.

"The spiritual materials you need for refining the magic are all ready today. You can get them at the treasury at any time. I believe that you will be able to break through soon.

I want to ask you a few questions: What are your plans for the future? What are your ambitions? Have you ever thought about building a career?

The Master's questions are close to the three questions in life, which are closely centered around: what do you want to do, how to do it, and what kind of results you want to achieve.

"I want to be an unfettered sword immortal, free from oppression and hardship, and live a free and unfettered life."

Yu Shuyang felt that this was what he wanted in his life, and it was worth it to live a second life, a comfortable and free life.

"A brave and aggressive swordsman who always wants to be the first in everything, where is his freedom?
This can only be considered as your interest, not an ambition, let alone a career.

Think about it carefully; it's something you must do from the bottom of your heart."

Master Yu's expression changed slightly. Although he would not stop his disciple from becoming a swordsman, he was not satisfied with the result.

I don't like to listen to unrealistic empty talk. No matter what kind of practice you are doing, as long as you are alive, you must do something.

Yu Shuyang pondered for a moment. Indeed, he seemed to have never thought about it. In the ten years since he woke up, apart from deductions and calculations, he only thought about refining swords and becoming a sword immortal.

He really had never considered starting a career, which was something he had never experienced in his previous life. He had always been practicing swordsmanship and taking jobs in exchange for resources.

This went on and on until his death. This kind of life really had nothing to do with freedom, let alone being unrestrained.

"Master, I have never thought about doing something big before.

I don’t know what kind of career my disciples can pursue.

If there is one thing I must do, I think it is to escape the calamity and ascend to heaven."

Yu Shuyang thought about it and felt that this must be what he had wanted all his life, and he firmly believed that he could do it.

"Very good, this is a lofty ambition. Since you have such an idea, you should do something earth-shattering.

If you look through the history books, among those who escaped the calamity and ascended to heaven from the three lists, was there any demon immortal who did it alone?
Isn't that the idea of using the blessed land to carry the entire clan and ascend to the upper realm of heaven?

Can you possibly carry this mountain of weight with just a sword?"

Mr. Yu's voice was still gentle and persuasive, and his expression did not contain any harsh condemnation.

However, to Yu Shuyang's ears, it sounded like the morning bell and evening drum, and every word was thought-provoking.

How come I never noticed this before? It seems that a pint of tribulation always brings the entire clan to ascend, and no monster ascends alone. A recent example is the Wenli clan, whose ancestral bloodline is restored by the Great Immortal Xiyu, and a more distant example is the Si beast clan, the ancestor of the Wood Element Si beast.

"I don't understand the secret, Master, please teach me."

“It’s not a secret, you just didn’t discover it before.

If you check it out, you will understand that the names of all the demons who enter the Tao to practice will be recorded in the Bai Ze Atlas, and they will be recorded uniformly according to their bloodline and race.

In other words, all practitioners of the same bloodline are connected, regardless of distance, emotional intensity, or status.

This is also the root of bloodline inheritance. Once a bloodline escapes catastrophe and ascends to heaven, there will be no more bloodline inheritance left. For example, our ancestor did not have the inheritance of the Wenli clan.

It’s not that there haven’t been any great demons who have tried to ascend alone, but none of them succeeded. Either their race’s bloodline was torn apart, or they died on the spot.

Bloodline is the foundation of demons and fairies. To abandon one's own bloodline is to cut off one's own roots.

If you have this ambition, you should think carefully about what career you should pursue to sustain you until you can escape the tribulation and ascend to heaven."

When Master Yu said these words, his face and expression were serious, as if he was leaving his last words.

At this time, Yu Shuyang also thought about Master Yu coming back to start a school. In his early years, he had a connection with the Yan family Confucianism of the human race. That was the top aristocratic family of the human race.

If Master Yu had stayed in the Yan family, he would have lived a happier life. However, he returned to Xiyu Fudi and founded the Fuxue School together with Madam Wushuang. This should be Master Yu's career.

"I understand. Thank you for your teachings, Master. However, I can't think of what to do at the moment."

Yu Shuyang thought about it again and again, and really couldn't think of what he could do. If he were asked to eliminate the enemy, he knew what to do.

"Don't be in a hurry. I only understood this truth after I broke through the sixth level of cultivation.

When you don’t know what to do, you can calm down and think about it. Even if you can’t figure it out, don’t worry.

You can do what you can, but you don't have to do anything big. A thread of thousands of threads always comes little by little."

Master Yu knew his apprentice's situation and he calculated everything over and over again, striving for perfection in everything. This was his character and also his shortcoming.

Combining his past experiences, Mr. Yu gradually enlightened everyone that there is no perfect solution for doing things and one cannot blindly pursue perfection.

For a moment, Yu Shuyang was scolded by his master. Thinking about the recent events, his father signed him up for the Xiyu Conference, which might not have been without the master's instructions.

"Where's the sword you forged? Bring it to me and see if it's as powerful as you boasted."

When Master Yu saw that his disciple was silent, he knew that he was still stubborn and that his character would not change in a short time.

Yu Shuyang brought out the Bailin Zhanyuan Sword and the Wuzhi Yaocao Sword for his master to appreciate.

Master Yu first picked up the Wuzhiyaocao sword, and a rhythm of the endless vitality of the Wu Ji earth and the medicinal properties condensed according to the pharmacology.

Although there is no ritual to refine the spiritual talisman or prohibition, one can see the future direction and it is a good treasure for self-protection.

When he picked up the Bailin Zhanyuan Sword, it looked like a golden collar, but it felt like neither gold nor jade. The magic power was very smooth, and there was a sense of charm flowing through the cave.

Both magic swords are unusual, without any visible sharpness, especially the Bailin Zhanyuan Sword, which is perfect inside and out.

"They are indeed good. After you break through, go to the academy and become a lecturer to teach swordsmanship."

　The writing is not very good. The image of Mr. Yu is too majestic and the truth he tells is too profound. The author has revised it many times, but it still feels not smooth enough, or even not interesting enough. However, it cannot be ignored. This is an endorsement that serves as a justification for many things that follow.

　　After much deliberation, the author decided to publish it. If you have any opinions, we can discuss them together and revise them slowly. Fortunately, the text is not very long at the moment.
