Don't take it, I switched to the ruthless way

Xuanji School, Star Observation Tower.

Ji Xian's eyes were covered with white gauze.

Ever since he witnessed the explosion of the Luck Star that day, he couldn't see anything in his eyes.

But after becoming blind, he suddenly gained a new understanding, an unexpected epiphany.

It was that epiphany that loosened his bottleneck and allowed him to faintly touch new areas.

"Master!" Tong Wenyue, who was wearing a black robe like Ji Xian, with a complicated star array painted on it, bowed respectfully: "I have already calculated the day when the seven stars will appear, and it will be June 16th this year."

Tong Wenyue is the eighth direct disciple accepted by Ji Xian. She is the most outstanding among all his disciples and has always been valued by Ji Xian.

Her talent for stargazing far surpassed that of anyone else of her generation, and she never made a mistake.

She completed all the tasks assigned to her by Ji Xian very well, and received satisfactory praise and rewards from Ji Xian every time.

Unexpectedly, this time, as soon as she finished speaking, Ji Xian frowned slightly.

"Wen Yue, although your stargazing skills are far superior to those of your senior brothers and sisters, in fact you have encountered a bottleneck in recent years and have not made any progress. And your cultivation has been stagnant in the late Nascent Soul for many years, and you have never been able to find a breakthrough. Dharma. It’s like being trapped in a fog, no matter how hard you try, you can’t find the right direction. Do you know why?”

Tong Wenyue held her breath, knelt on her knees, bowed her head and said, "Master, please give me some advice."

Ji Xian turned around and seemed to be able to look at her quietly through his blind eyes.

"Every time I give you a task, you can do it to perfection. Sometimes even I can't find anything wrong. Impeccable should be the best answer, but sometimes self-righteous 'perfection' is the biggest flaw. , is the biggest mistake.”

Tong Wenyue raised her head slightly and said, "Master, you mean that my disciple made a mistake in his calculations?"

"No, you are not wrong." Ji Xian said: "It's just that you haven't done enough, far from enough. Stargazing can observe stars through the void and speculate on the secrets of the sky. However, the stars in the void are ever-changing, and any star may suddenly A sudden change occurs, which causes other stars to be affected and change again. The stars in the void evolve unpredictably, and a short period of deduction is nothing."

Tong Wenyue: "Disciple understands. Disciple will go down and continue the calculation."

Ji Xian nodded slightly.

Tong Wenyue stood up and was about to go down, but suddenly stopped and pursed her lips, "Master, I still have questions."

Ji Xian: "Say."

"Since the stars in the sky evolve unpredictablely, sometimes the calculation results will be wrong due to the sudden change of a certain star. Then, if the disciple wants to calculate the final correct result, how should he do it? What if? The result of the calculation at this moment was originally correct, but at the next moment, a 'change' suddenly occurred, which caused the next calculation to start... If the calculation goes on like this endlessly, we can only know it after the fact happens at the last moment.' The final correct answer. This, disciple..." Tong Wenyue paused and did not dare to say any more.

Ji Xian: "You've become confused, and it's hard to continue stargazing."

Tong Wenyue felt uncomfortable and her eyes were slightly red, "Master, I'm sorry, my disciple has let you down."

Ji Xian did not say whether he was disappointed or not. He only said: "From today on, you are no longer allowed to use stargazing. Go out of the stargazing tower, leave the sect, and go outside to practice. When will you feel that you have really figured it out? You can decide for yourself whether you want to continue coming back to the Star Observation Tower."

"master!"

Tong Wenyue fell to her knees, her face turning pale.

Ji Xian had a total of thirteen direct disciples, but his final successor was only one.

Nowadays, Tong Wenyue is one of the candidates for inheritance. If she leaves the Star Observation Tower today, it will be difficult for her to come back in the future.

As Ji Xian's inheritance candidate, Xuanji Sect has all the resources they want, and their status in the sect is extremely high. Even Lianxu Zhen will give them a good look when he sees them.

Only those who are candidates for inheritance can move into this Star Observation Tower, and from then on they can only stay in the Star Observation Tower until the day when the final successor is truly determined, that is, the day when the final successor becomes a disciple.

Tong Wenyue is not the kind of person who is indifferent to fame and wealth, and she has always liked staying in the Star Observation Tower. She has been working hard, and she wants to be the final winner and the only successor of her master.

"Master, please don't drive me away. I'm just confused for a moment and will figure it out. I'm going to retreat to think about my mistakes. Master, please don't drive me away."

Tong Wenyue's shoulders were trembling, and big tears fell on the wooden floor.

Ji Xian's expression remained indifferent and he did not comfort her. He only said: "I know what you are afraid of, but you really don't have to. The rules of the Star Observation Tower are dead and people are alive. The rules are made by people. From today on Starting from now on, not only you, but also your second senior brother, both of you will leave the Star Observation Tower and go outside to practice."

With that said, Ji Xian sent out a thought and quickly called his second disciple Gou Luo up from downstairs.

"You are all my candidates for inheritance. I have the same high hopes for you. I hope you can get new inspiration and insights from your experiences outside. Go ahead."

"Yes, master."

The two of them did not dare to refute Ji Xian's instructions, so they immediately went downstairs and walked out of the gate of the Star Observation Tower.
