Xianxia: Why am I here?

Chapter 48  Old man at the limit

Somewhere in space.

A man was sitting crosslegged and his entire being seemed like it had merged into the void Suddenly the man opened his eyes and looked into the distance as if checking something, then sighed. If one were to observe beyond the worry on the man\'s face, one could realize that, unlike normal humans, the man had pointed ears and blue eyes that seemed very calm. In a way, it was a contradiction in itself. But sitting there, one could actually think that the whole star field revolved around him.

Other than the ears, the man resembled humans. The feeling he gave off, however, was that his body could crash the stars in his vicinity at will, even just sitting there seemed to have made several kilometers around him enter a standstill. For someone like him perhaps leveling a planet would only require a tap of a finger. In the direction, he was facing, space was torn apart revealing a gap, and a woman with almost the same features came out. She was barefooted and even after coming out of the torn space, her feet seemed to cause ripples in space where she stepped.

With long silver hair reaching all the way to her thighs, the woman looked cold and indifferent but some fear could be seen when she arrived before the man. When she was looking at the man she seemed apprehensive, but she still took steps forward. The huge space tear behind her seemed to have been closed after she moved some distance from it. The moment she took a step forward, it seemed she had covered a vast distance but surprisingly she never really managed to get close to the man as though she was still in the same spot.

"Master!" The woman bowed respectfully to the old man when she saw him and at the same time secretly tried to see his expression, however, ended in disappointment in the end.

The man looked at the woman and asked with a dazed expression, "Why are you here now? Are you also trying to waste this old man\'s remaining days?"

"Disciple has some concerns and wants master to clarify, otherwise it might be hard to improve in the short term." The woman said without hesitation and seemed to have put on some helpless look. "I know it is punishable to disturb the master at this time, but I was afraid of missing out on this chance." After saying this there was some silence but the man did not seem to care and said. "Back then you were only five when I took you as a personal disciple, and your talent was okay, but even your junior brothers that were in named disciple managed to work hard and surpass you with their poor talents. Now you are the only one left in this universe, they probably have got their chances in the Primitive World. In a blink of an eye, you have aged but your character seems to have not changed much over the years."

Seeing the man talk about the past, the woman had some slight change in her expression, and she hurriedly said, "I have let down teachers\' teachings"

But the man did not seem to care much and just looked at the woman before a sigh could be heard, and the woman hurried to say," Master! Without your support some problems might crop up, why not pass me some guidance to make progress and a weapon to protect this universe in your stead?" But to her surprise, the man seemed to have an indifferent look at her and everything in those calm eyes.

"Since the end has come why stop it?" The man\'s eyesight shifted from the woman to the distant void and said, "Sometimes being too greedy can cost more than what one can handle, If one wants to hold onto a treasure or even power they should have the corresponding capability."

"Give up..." These words were very impactful and made the heart of the woman almost burst into flames, as she was here for some benefits from her master that seemed to have some lifespan only left. "Among the four of my disciples, I think you were the most spoilt and almost had everything you wanted and now even the one with poor talent seemed to have surpassed you. It seems like this all has something to do with your mentality"

"How can I give up, I am the first disciple. I am unwilling to give up. Old man you cannot blame me, even though we are the same race, I have to think about myself. " The woman said this in her heart. But who is the man sitting before her, as this thought passed through her mind, he felt it or rather heard it? She was unwilling to listen to his words and even went further to have designs on him.

Feeling such thoughts flowing through her mind the man seemed to have become exhausted but not bothered anymore. He had already said what she needed to know and the choices she made were her own fault.

"After all these years, I guess you were too obsessed with power at the expense of your own universe too. I thought my advice could help you out, but you are already too far gone. Only when is strong enough do they have the right to decide some things. You disappointed this old man, alright you can go, from now onwards, this old man does not have a disciple like you." As the man spoke, some kind of power descended on the woman stripping something from her, and the moment it happened she felt it, as though the world had turned upside down, and lost something important.

But that was not the important issue, rather the fact that the old man stood up, and at this time some coercion kept spreading from his body, it was vast. It did not seem to be targeted at anyone but rather happened only from the movement of the man. The power seemed to exist everywhere and at this moment the woman seemed to have felt how terrifying power was since she set foot on the path of practice and at the same time she seemed to understand what this old man meant. Without enough power, everything is almost fragile as before this coercion of live level she had ever felt.

Perhaps in the past due to their master and disciple relationship, she did not feel it but at this moment she seemed to feel very minute. With this old man even with the treasure she was 23:42

dreaming of, her capability to make a move before him was completely nothing. With a wave of his hand, the woman found herself standing some distance several billions of kilometers away. At this moment the confidence she brought was already shattered, as she felt more like an ant before the man. She could cut space and travel in the void but the man just sends her back to where she came from at this time she felt that the master and disciple relationship had been cut off.

Feeling this situation she did not care about the group she had brought close to her master with her agenda, but the fact that her master was indifferent to her claims about protecting the universe obviously he did not care whether it was destroyed or not. Such a mentality seemed to allow her to have some confidence in the plans she had put in motion, but she failed to get anywhere with her master and other disciples of her master probably would not bother to give her face.

In the distance where the man was looking before sending the woman away, another figure suddenly appeared near the man. But surprisingly, the man smiled at the other party unlike when he was talking to his disciple. "Tian! you eventually came."

As he spoke he moved upwards reaching the same height as the other party, who replied while looking in the direction of the woman that had been disowned as a disciple." You finally decided to get rid of that trouble. I thought you would just keep tolerating it." Tian was obviously in a good mood, but the other man seemed not bothered by this situation at all.

"Are you sure that this is how you want to use your chance? The man asked and Tian was not bothered to say anymore rather took out his weapons ready to attack. But he still said, "In this universe, you are the only person that I can fight, and this being our last fight, I am also very curious about the kind of combat power that someone already standing at the final step has. I heard that you send all your disciples to the primitive world! It seems like you have indeed really reached the limit."
