Caspian stared at the scene where the stars hung on the tree.
As the night breeze gently blew, Caspian felt as if he looked at countless Heavenly Stars Sect’s seniors smiling and nodding at him.
The Tree of the Sea of Stars was where the Heavenly Stars Sect would hang the fallen sect members’ jade identification badges.
Since the establishment of the Heavenly Stars Sect, there was an endless number of people who passed away due to many reasons.
As cultivators survived through spiritual Qi, they would also turn into a billowing wave of the spiritual tide, returning to heaven and earth without leaving a corpse behind.
For those cultivators that were a member of a sect, those jade identification badges would become one of the rare proof of them existing in that world before.
Hence, from a certain point of view, the Tree of the Sea of Stars was the Heavenly Stars Sect’s cemetery, and those glistening jade identification badges were equivalent to tombstones.
Caspian took out Wesley’s jade identification badge, and he looked at it.
Then, as if the jade identification badge sensed it too, it emitted a similar gentle light.
Suddenly, Delmont’s clear voice sounded, “Even though a cultivator will always be fighting for his life in his lifetime, there are two incumbent points… If you want to be remembered on the memorial platforms with other immortals, you must first go through countless deaths.
On the journey of cultivation, you’ll constantly be battling with others, and there will be many killings.
However, you must never forget your conscience.
Nonetheless, even the almighty cultivators will spill endless bloodbaths, but as long as the mortals need us, we can’t pretend to be ignorant.”
Then, Delmont added, “The road to immortality is a long journey.
In the days to come, you’ll be hated by others, but people will also walk alongside you.
At any time, don’t give up the companion that you approved of easily.”
As he spoke, Delmont’s gaze turned profound, and he looked at Caspian.
“You’ll never walk alone in the pathway to immortality.”
His words sounded as if there was a hidden meaning behind them, but it also seemed like just a piece of ordinary advice.
Regardless, everything that Delmont said gave Caspian some sort of enlightenment.
At Mirefield Gate, Caspian regained his true intentions through Wesley and the other cultivators that sacrificed themselves.
With Delmont’s advice, Caspian felt as if there was something in his heart that was about to morph out, breaking from its cocoon and turning into a butterfly.
Caspian did not respond to Delmont’s words.
Instead, he tossed Wesley’s jade identification badge away with his right hand, and it turned into a ray of light, flying toward the Tree of the Sea of Stars.
Soon, it became a star that would always illuminate the road of future generations, hanging on the tree.
After doing that, Caspian sat cross-legged.
The bright moon hung high above him, and the mountains lay quietly beneath him.
Then, Caspian took a deep breath in, and it was as if he became one with the surroundings.
Delmont looked at Caspian and nodded slightly.
He did not say anything but just waited at the side patiently.
Caspian sat for seven days and seven nights.
Then, the red light burst from the horizon on the morning of the eighth day, and Caspian opened his eyes.
A red light flashed in his eyes, and it soon disappeared in the depths of them.
Delmont instantly noticed Caspian’s changes.
Even though he expected Caspian would be different than before, he was still shocked to see Caspian now.
Before that, Caspian was like a mountain, which made others feel he was reliable.
At the same time, Caspian was also like a sledgehammer, capable of destroying anything.
However, the current Caspian seemed to have been tampered with.
