Chapter 872: Chapter 33 Stars_2 Chapter 872: Chapter 33 Stars_2 “`“Shut up! Don’t speak!”

Seeing that the situation was not good, Nostro Grande, not wanting to be provoked into losing his temper again, hurriedly shouted out before Link could speak.

“Alright, alright, I’ll shut up.”

Link smiled happily, as some of his frustration over not being able to fight side by side with his wife due to his mischievous nature dissipated.

When a contradiction cannot be effectively resolved, the best way to deal with it is to shift the focus.

Now, by calling out Nostro Grande’s shortcomings, Link had shifted away from his own frustration.

With a sullen demeanor, Nostro Grande led Link to the place where he had “accidentally” encountered a person he suspected to be Link’s counterpart from a parallel universe, continuing on the itinerary he had long planned.

“Are you familiar with the civilization of gods and immortals?”

During the journey to the encounter location, Link kept observing Nostro Grande’s behavior.

He noticed that Nostro Grande didn’t use “navigation” and managed to find the right route precisely in what should be a foreign starry sky.

Not only did he not make any mistakes, but he also took many shortcuts that were not marked on the star maps, shortening the travel time.

“Not familiar.”

Nostro Grande flatly denied, casually explaining, “I have more advanced star maps than you have.”

“There’s such a thing? I don’t believe it.”

Link spread his hands, “Unless you show me your star maps.”

Nostro Grande turned his head away and gave Link a glance, indicating no intention to fulfill this request.

“Stingy!”

Link muttered under his breath and withdrew his hands.

For some reason, Link’s words and actions during this outing with Nostro Grande were somewhat out of character compared to his usual self.

It seemed that the experience of seeing his True Spirit as a God Seeing Realm martial artist with the statement “break the void, and you shall see God” had allowed Link to have an enlightening experience of self-awareness.

Some emotions and feelings that should have been released during the natural process of growth, which Link had deliberately suppressed for various reasons, were now finding their way out.

Perhaps this is why many old people are called “old urchins” or “old children.”

Their suppressed natures are being released.

At heart, Link is a mischievous person who loves jokes and enjoys playing pranks.

The name “Do Anything Freely” is a reflection of this.

Nostro Grande gave Link a once-over and said meaningfully, “Remember your current state, experience it fully, and engrave it in your memory, it will help you.”

Upon hearing this, Link contemplated, and then smiled, “That must be from your own experience, it definitely makes sense, thank you. In return, let me also give you a heads-up.”

“What’s that?”

“Having experience is good. However, in my opinion, experience should be used as a reference, not copied directly. Since you are already re-experiencing ‘growth’ in life, why not try to re-experience ‘cultivation’ in life again?”

“What do you mean?”

“I’m increasingly feeling that cultivating too fast is not entirely good, as it can lead to an unstable foundation. Your situation is naturally different from mine, but reincarnation is reincarnation, even if there has been some maneuvering, and your True Spirit has not restructured or become obscured, the Wizard World Will still recognizes your Saint Position. However, The Saint of Nostrodamus is The Saint of Nostrodamus, Nostro Grande or Lotson Grande are Nostro Grande or Lotson Grande. There is ultimately a difference.”

“Thank you for the heads-up.”

After a serious conversation, the two fell silent again, each resorting to disguises.

Two wizards walking in the realm of the civilization of gods and immortals without disguises would attract odd looks and attention too easily.

Nostro Grande and Link were not trying to avoid the surveillance of the Celestial Court to do something sneaky, they simply wanted to avoid unnecessary troubles as much as possible.

During the process of disguising, both Link and Nostro Grande were lost in thought.

Especially Nostro Grande, who occasionally had a sharp glint appear in his eyes.

Link’s reminder had struck a chord with Nostro Grande and was very worthy of his attention.

It also meant that Nostro Grande’s favor of reminding Link not to bring trouble to Jasmine Kidman had been repaid.

Before long, the two completed their disguises, clothed in deep robes with exceptional auras and extraordinary elegance.

No matter how you looked at them, they did not appear to be wizards from another universe, but rather cultivators of the civilization of gods and immortals from this universe.

After checking each other for any flaws, they stepped out of the hideout where they had been disguising themselves.

Walking in cities and villages that felt ancient to Link, he realized that Nostro Grande was truly wandering aimlessly.

Link could tell that Nostro Grande was looking for something, and he was doing so based on intuition.

It seemed that even Nostro Grande himself did not know what he was looking for, whether he sought something alive or inanimate, human or otherwise.

“`Lotson’s attitude towards “fate” and his transmigrated identity as a Mysterious Sage Wizard made Link suspect that Lotson was pursuing the guidance of “fate.”

If that were the case, then why did Lotson insist on involving Link?

Having repaid Lotson the favor of warning him about the troubles and dangers, Link no longer held back and smoothly began to question Lotson’s motive for insisting on bringing him along for a “plein-air excursion.”

Combining this with the somewhat abnormal behavior Lotson displayed before they set off, Link had some speculations in his mind.

“What are you thinking about?”

Lotson, who was looking around as they walked, noticed Link’s preoccupied expression and suddenly asked.

“I’m wondering what exactly you’re looking for and why you had to involve me.”

Link did not hide anything, expressing honestly what was on his mind.

Sincerity is always the ultimate move.

Responding to sincerity with sincerity, and to truthful words with truth.

Link made his stance clear, I won’t conceal anything from you, so don’t brush me off.

Lotson understood the message that Link was conveying and fell silent in thought.

After a short while, Lotson’s contemplation yielded a result.

He also candidly said, “I’m searching for a star, and also searching for a beam of light.”

“A star? What star?”

Link asked with confusion.

The beam of light might very well be that which the Ancestor Heavenly Master referred to last time—the one that came from another universe but its whereabouts unknown.

This, Link could easily surmise.

But as for the “star” mentioned by Lotson, Link truly did not understand.

“I don’t know either.”

Lotson spread his hands in a mix of helplessness and frustration, saying, “The Wizard World Will sent me to this universe to follow the so-called ‘guidance of fate’ to find a star, yet it didn’t tell me what this star looks like. It’s really annoying.”

Upon hearing this, Link blinked.

Weren’t they just talking about looking for a star? How come there is suddenly more interesting gossip to partake in?

He really wanted to dive into this juicy piece and thoroughly enjoy it.

Seeing Link’s blinking, Lotson said with irritation, “Don’t put on that sly expression. Just ask if you want to know something.”

“Did you make a deal with the Wizard World Will? You help the Wizard World Will find the star, and what does it give you in return?”

As a good learner, Link pressed on with curiosity.

“The reward has already been given to me.”

Lotson replied obligingly, sighing, “Do you think it’s an easy task to preserve the True Spirit for reincarnation? Especially after you foiled several of my contingencies. The deal I made with the Wizard World Will is that it would help me cover some oversights, and I would do three things for the Wizard World Will in return.”

“I see.”

Link nodded in sudden realization, then closed his mouth, showing no intention of continuing the interrogation.

Some gossip is sweet to savor, but it’s best not to indulge too much.

For example, Link really isn’t interested in knowing which three things the Wizard World Will asked Lotson to do, nor does he dare to be.

Link suspected that Lotson was waiting exactly for him to ask this question.

Being at the juncture of advancing from a Fourth Level Sage to a Level Five Sage, could Link, having learned from Lotson about the three tasks given by the Wizard World Will, simply ignore them and offer no help?

Of course, he could.

After all, it was a deal between Lotson and the Wizard World Will, none of Link’s concern.

But could he really do so?

Jianghu is not merely about fighting and killing; Jianghu is about human relations and worldly wisdom.

Cultivation is the same.

Lotson waited for quite a while, but when he didn’t receive any further questions from Link, he felt somewhat disappointed.

However, this was within Lotson’s expectations as well.

If it were so easy to fall into the trap, Link Grande wouldn’t have survived until today.

Best to focus on finding the star for now.

The matter of setting traps could wait for later.
