Swallowing the Stars: I, the New Master of Babata

"Since you want to become the head of the Rome base city, you must remember that a warrior cannot be without martial virtue... just as a person absolutely cannot be without morality."

Dongqing dislikes lecturing, but a martial artist without martial virtue is like a person without morality. If there is no bottom line in doing things, then naturally there will be no bottom line in being a person.

"Teacher, I understand. I will study Chinese culture even harder."

Janet nodded seriously, her eyes shining like stars.

"If you're heading in the wrong direction, all your efforts will be in vain."

Dongqing patted the back of his fair hand on his shoulder.

He genuinely didn't want Janet to go down that wrong path.

"Teacher, I really want to improve, I dream about it!"

"But don't worry, teacher, I will always remember to respect my teachers."

Janet's understanding of respecting teachers may be flawed, or she may have her own unique interpretation.

When she said this, she leaned back for a long time, and the pressure on her chest became a heavy burden.

There is a kind of wave.

It's called brainwaves.

As a qualified spiritual master, Dongqing never used his spiritual power for evil purposes.

However, through the brainwaves of the carbon-based life form, Dongqing could sense Janet's deep-seated thoughts of betraying her master and ancestors.

Saying one thing and meaning another.

Hypocritical and sanctimonious.

What Janet said and what she actually did were completely different things.

She only wants to take shortcuts and doesn't want to work hard; her thoughts and ideas are very vulgar.

"Janet, your mind is too chaotic and cluttered. I understand that you want to improve and take shortcuts, but if your character isn't up to par, it will be hard for you to go very far in the future."

Dongqing didn't push Janet away and harshly reprimand her for betraying her master and ancestors. Even if she listened, she would never change her ways.

Her current obsession is Dongqing.

Not getting it will only make her more obsessive.

unless.

Dongqing imitated Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

If I don't go to hell, who will?

To get involved personally.

Only then can it be resolved.

"Teacher, I understand everything you're saying, but I still want to give it a try!"

Janet understood perfectly what Dongqing meant: blindly relying on the strong was not advisable, and such a person could not become a true strong person. But she had never thought of becoming a strong person.

In her view, Dongqing stood too high. Even if he would take the initiative to lower his head and observe the lives of people at the bottom, the gap in status was still too great, and Dongqing found it difficult to empathize with many things.

Dongqing couldn't understand why he couldn't even get a basic grasp of a secret manual after several years of studying it, especially since it was still just an ordinary manual.

Dong Qing couldn't understand how many passionate martial artists had been trapped by the shackles of cultivation realms, unable to break through them in their entire lives.

effort?

struggle?

No talent.

Everything goes to zero.

If you don't even qualify to become a formal martial artist.

Even drawing cosmic energy into the body for cultivation and strengthening is impossible.

Even if my heart is as hard as iron.

It's still just empty talk.

"How do you want to try?"

Dongqing glanced at Janet with a somewhat puzzled look in his eyes.

He didn't understand what she wanted to do by suddenly walking up to him.

"Try lying flat, teacher, I really don't want to try anymore!"

Janet grabbed Dongqing by the collar and bent down.

The shortcut is right in front of you.

She doesn't want to try anymore.

I missed this rare opportunity tonight.

There may not be a chance for Dongqing to spend time alone with him in the future.

"....."

Dong Qing sighed.

In the end, nothing was said.

He could sense the intensity of Janet's obsession; it had reached a point where there was no turning back.

If he insists on stopping her from taking this step, he will only trap her in an eternal obsession.

What we call obsession.

That is persistence.

The best way to eliminate obsession is to be content.

Instead of using strict rules and regulations to forcibly suppress it.

The more they suppress, the better.

The more it rebounds.

Wanting to escape the mortal world.

One must first experience the mortal world.

Even if one wants to sever all emotions and desires, and embark on the true path of ruthlessness.

At the very least, one must understand love and desire; how can one sever ties if one is unclear about them?

"Teacher, in terms of martial arts, do you think Hong's World-Destroying Spear Technique has a higher potential, or is Thor's Nine-Fold Thunder Blade more suitable for me to practice?"

"Teacher, actually Zhao Ruo isn't very honest either. Her pillow has your portrait on it, so she's probably secretly making a living on her own."

Janet is very talkative.

Dongqing couldn't get a word in edgewise.

But that night...

No sleep for one night.

......

The twentieth day.

Moscow, Russia, one of the ten major cities.

Nobody knew that Dongqing hadn't gotten any rest at all last night.

No one dared to set foot in or spy on Dongqing's resting place.

However, very early in the morning.

Dongqing then left.

He continued his global tour.

The path to pursuing one's own laws and domains.

If Hong weren't the world's strongest, if Hong didn't have a domain.

Dong Qing might not be so conflicted; he could just break through directly.

But since Hong Neng awakened the primordial law domain at the planetary level, the light domain that devours all light.

Dong Qing didn't want his cultivation path to have any flaws, which would require a lot of effort to make up for later.

He was well-versed in Taoist classics.

They deeply understood the importance of foundation building.

The deeper the foundation.

The road is becoming wider and wider.

But if one recklessly charges forward without regard for anything else...

A weak foundation is hard to truly solidify.

Of course.

This is also because Dongqing was not affected by external crises.

Only then can one diligently hone their own foundation.

If it's a life-or-death crisis.

Breakthroughs are the priority, of course.

After all, at that time, having more strength meant having more security.

Only when there is no sense of crisis can one slowly build a solid foundation.

"Lord Azure Emperor, are you daydreaming?"

A gentle call roused Dong Qing from his reverie. He hadn't rested since last night, though he wasn't exactly exhausted.

But due to some unexpected events, he was somewhat absent-minded today, and didn't even notice when someone approached him.

Following the sound.

Look up.

A young-looking, gentle-looking Slavic woman from the East came into Dong Qing's view.

She is a classic Russian beauty, exuding the charm of a married woman and the allure of a young woman.

"Who are you?"

Dongqing had assumed that the people who came to greet him today were...

It should be Sokolov, Russia's strongest man.

But the woman in front of me.

He was somewhat unfamiliar with it.

"Your Majesty, I am Sokolov's daughter. You may call me Yelena."

Yelena's voice is very distinctive; it sounds as melodious as a bird's song.

twitter.

Full of vitality.

"Are you Sokolov's daughter?"

Dong Qing had heard that Sokolov had a beloved daughter, but he kept a close eye on her and disciplined her very strictly.

She wasn't like Lei Lei, a woman who relied on her father being Thor to travel all over the world, so Dong Qing only knew her by name but not by name.

"Yes, Father has instructed me to receive Lord Qingdi!"

Yelena nodded; she understood Dongqing.

This is her usual self.

They don't appear in public often.

Many people don't know her.

I don't know her identity either.

"You're in charge of the Moscow base city all by yourself?"

Dong Qing sensed something was wrong. Sokolov, that brute, who was usually so vigilant, afraid that some bad guy would kidnap his beloved daughter, actually dared to let his only daughter meet Dong Qing alone at this moment.

Moreover, he heard that Sokolov had a bad relationship with his daughter, apparently because during the Great Nirvana, Sokolov was out saving people but failed to save his own wife, which caused his daughter to hold a grudge against him.

"Yes, Your Majesty, rest assured, I can be in charge of the Moscow base city!"

Fearing that Dong Qing wouldn't believe her, Yelena suddenly unleashed her previously restrained martial aura.

Primary War God.

Mid-level War God.

Finally, it reached the rank of High God of War.

It's just a hair's breadth away from being a planetary-level planet.
