World’s End: My Keyword is One More Than Others

Chapter 194: Turning of misfortune into fortune

The Seventh Junior Brother ultimately succumbed to Du Ge's tyranny.

He refused to believe that Du Ge would cripple his martial arts.

Sudden enlightenment was secondary.

After all, he was left with only his undergarments, he couldn't possibly run down the mountain like that...

Seeing Du Ge occasionally glance at his intimate clothing, the Seventh Junior Brother had a feeling that if he insisted on going down the mountain, Du Ge would definitely strip him bare.

Moreover,

The Seventh Junior Brother was still young and was genuinely curious about Du Ge's miraculous technique of stripping people's clothes...

***

After putting his clothes back on, the Seventh Junior Brother marveled at the undamaged garments, "Third Senior Brother, did you really come up with this technique of stripping clothes on the spot?"

Besides, they had spent years learning their arts on the mountain and were ignorant of the outside world.

Du Ge suddenly stopped leaving. After going out, he didn't know what to do, and with Du Ge's persuasion, he simply gave up the idea of running away.

"Uh-huh," Du Ge nodded.

"How did you come to realize it? Tell me, I want to have an epiphany too," the Seventh Junior Brother approached Du Ge, grinning cheekily.

"The Sect Leader just passed away, the Eldest Senior Brother is in critical condition, and Tianlan Valley is coveting us from outside. Stop grinning," Du Ge glared at him and scolded.

"Right, Seventh Junior Brother, you can't call him Third Senior Brother anymore, you should call him Sect Leader Brother," Guan Xuan corrected seriously, "There must be a hierarchy. Third Senior Brother said we need to re-establish the rules of the Seven Stars Sect, so outsiders won't look down on us."

"Then why are you still calling him Third Senior Brother?" the Seventh Junior Brother turned and glanced at her.

"It just slipped out," Guan Xuan's face turned red as she awkwardly defended, "In front of others, I definitely won't make that mistake. Just now, when Third Senior Brother wrongfully accused me of deserting, I didn't even argue..."

"What deserting?" the Seventh Junior Brother asked curiously.

"Cough!" Du Ge coughed, looking at the two immature youths, suddenly feeling the heavy responsibility of rebuilding the sect, and couldn't help but interrupt them, "You two, cut the nonsense. Guan Xuan, tell the Seventh Junior Brother about our Seven Stars Sect's future path."

"Path?" the Seventh Junior Brother was stunned again, feeling that in the short time he had been down the mountain, he had missed a lot.

"That's right, path," Guan Xuan said, looking at her confused little junior brother and suddenly feeling smug, "Sect Leader Brother said, to cultivate, one must first establish a path. I ask you, why has the Seven Stars Sect fallen to its current state?"

"That's obvious, the 'Seven Stars Technique' is incomplete, our martial arts are inferior to others!" the Seventh Junior Brother said.

"Wrong. It's because we've taken the wrong path," Guan Xuan coughed, using Du Ge's theory on the spot, "Cultivation is about defying the heavens, competing with the heavens and others. Even our sect's noble martial arts 'Big Dipper Seven Stars Technique' is about plundering starlight..."

After listening to the theory of plundering, the Seventh Junior Brother pondered and then nodded, "That makes sense. Looking at it this way, the fundamental reason for the Eldest Senior Brother's demonic deviation is not that he should have drawn starlight into his body, but that he should have plundered the starlight.

I think the general outline of the 'Seven Stars Technique' must be about how to plunder starlight, and the body refinement technique should be about making one's body strong enough to withstand the backlash of the plundered starlight..."

Goodness!

Is this what a cultivation genius looks like?

The same theory, heard by different people, can have different effects!

No wonder this guy is the best cultivator in the Seven Stars Sect, aside from the Eldest Senior Brother. With such insight, he's truly underutilized in the Seven Stars Sect...

Guan Xuan was startled, "Seventh Junior Brother, don't follow in the Eldest Senior Brother's footsteps and mess with drawing in starlight again. There are only three of us left in the sect. If you fall too, I and Third Senior Brother won't be able to take care of both of you..."

"Call him Sect Leader Brother," the Seventh Junior Brother glanced at her, correcting.

"..." Guan Xuan choked.

"Little Junior Sister, Third Senior Brother's theory is enough to establish a school and he is worthy of the position of Sect Leader," the Seventh Junior Brother said earnestly, then looked at Du Ge, "Sect Leader Brother, how did you come to realize it?"

"It might have been my father's spirit appearing!" Guan Xuan said, "At that time, you all wanted to leave, and I was completely desperate, so I went to pray in front of my father's spirit, took the Yellow Dragon Pill intending to feed it to the Eldest Senior Brother, and swore that if I couldn't save him, I would end myself. Then, when I went out, I ran into Third Senior Brother, and in the moment he saw me, he understood the way of plundering."

Explaining from a third-party perspective is always much more effective than repeating oneself.

Du Ge nodded, "That's right, I did indeed realize the way of plundering at that moment. So, I snatched the Sect Leader's token from the Eldest Senior Brother, and the moment I got the token, a set of plundering techniques appeared in my mind."

Plucking feathers from a passing goose, the effect was too unbelievable to hide.

He had to find a suitable origin for this technique.

The Seven Stars Sect was left with only a few greenhorns who hadn't seen the world; it wasn't hard to hoodwink them. Besides, the little junior sister had added a story about the spirit of the master appearing, and in a world of immortals and wonders, anything could happen, which could basically cover it up...

"Sect Leader Brother, may I see the Sect Leader's token?" the Seventh Junior Brother's eyes lit up and asked.

Du Ge smiled, took out the Sect Leader's token, and handed it to the Seventh Junior Brother.

The Seventh Junior Brother took the token, examined it carefully, closed his eyes to feel it, shook his head, and handed the token back, saying, "Sect Leader Brother, I heard from the master that the big sects, when teaching disciples martial arts, don't rely on explanations, but the sect's predecessors imprint their understanding of the martial arts into jade slips or magical instruments.

The junior disciples feel it, and the predecessors' cultivation insights are imprinted into their sea of consciousness. You say, is it possible that the Seven Stars Sect's Sect Leader's token also works the same way, hiding the general outline of the 'Seven Stars Technique', which you unwittingly realized? The pouring of wisdom can open one's mind, but I've never heard that it can directly comprehend martial arts..."

Youth.

Are you patching things up for me too?

Du Ge looked at the Seventh Junior Brother, lost in thought.

Guan Xuan's eyes lit up, "Sect Leader Brother, is it so?"

"Once the Seventh Junior Brother mentioned it, it reminded me that it is indeed possible," Du Ge frowned and nodded, "After all, I mastered this technique out of nowhere, I can only use it, but can't explain it, and I feel there are many things waiting for me to discover, it's definitely not as simple as just stripping clothes..."

With that.

His palm swept across the Seventh Junior Brother's chest.

The next moment.

The Seventh Junior Brother's intimate clothing had fallen into his palm.

The Seventh Junior Brother felt a chill below and looked at Du Ge holding his intimate clothing in astonishment, "Third Senior Brother, how did you do that..."

The little junior sister looked at the intimate clothing in Du Ge's hand, her face turned red, and she instinctively stepped away from Du Ge, her expression somewhat strange.

"I can't explain it," Du Ge ignored the overly sensitive little junior sister, returned the intimate clothing to the Seventh Junior Brother, and said, "It's a very mysterious feeling, as if everything is within my grasp, but now, this martial art is not under my control, I originally wanted to take your coat, but ended up taking the intimate clothing..."

"Taking the intimate clothing is even more impressive!" the Seventh Junior Brother exclaimed, "Taking objects from afar, unseen and unheard, this is already the method of immortals. Now I believe even more that what Senior Brother learned is the general outline of the 'Seven Stars Technique'. Now it's just stealing clothes, but in the future, you might be able to take lives with a wave of your hand, and when it's fully cultivated, plundering starlight will be effortless. Senior Brother, quickly teach me this technique..."

"Of course, I will teach you both," Du Ge's gaze swept over the two, saying, "But I myself have no clue yet, I need to organize a set of mental techniques first, my only understanding of the mental technique now is plundering, the natural right to plunder, the natural course of plundering, making plundering an instinct, should be the first step of cultivation..."

"That's right, just like when the master taught us to practice the sword, he would make us repeat it countless times, and when we face an enemy, we instinctively strike. Senior Brother's technique is incredibly mystical, almost like a path, probably because of this," the Seventh Junior Brother nodded vigorously, "Senior Brother, now I believe what you said is true. With the general outline recovered, the Seven Stars Sect can definitely flourish under your leadership."

Guan Xuan was clueless.

How did you guys make this connection?

Looking at the Seventh Junior Brother, who seemed to have grasped the truth and was overjoyed, and the Third Senior Brother, who had realized the inheritance and wanted to make the Seven Stars Sect great,

She suddenly felt like a fool!

Du Ge smiled and looked towards the direction of the Seven Stars Hall, saying, "Perhaps, this is the turning of misfortune into fortune. But, our immediate priority is to get past the hurdle of Tianlan Valley, the master's vengeance must be avenged..."
