Swallowing the Stars: Shocking! The Giant Axe Wants to Become My Apprentice

Chapter 41 Question

"Earth destroyed? How is that possible!"

Babata shook his head, clasped his hands around the giant, and said, "Even if you humans become extinct, Earth will be difficult to destroy. This entire vast area has been covered up by the master's spatial magic!"

"The probability of someone else breaking in is infinitesimally close to zero, after all, the starry sky is simply too vast!"

"Besides, even if they came in, no one would be so bored as to destroy a life-bearing planet; that would be burning through their own money."

"not to mention……"

Babata stopped there and didn't continue. Zhou Ze guessed what she meant: there was a huge thunderstorm on Earth, and if it woke everyone up, they would all die.

I hate riddle tellers! One teacher is enough...

Luo Feng thought to himself.

"Calm down and think about it." Zhou Ze's eyes were deep.

Luo Feng thought Zhou Ze was instructing him on cultivating his mental state. After a moment of contemplation, he said earnestly, "Earth is my home. As long as there is even the slightest possibility, I will do my best to prevent the destruction of Earth and the extinction of humanity."

Babata, who had somehow produced a bottle of beverage and was drinking it, spoke up when she heard Luo Feng say this:

"Don't worry, Earth will be fine. Besides, even if something happens, you can hide inside the Meteorite Starship. Even ordinary immortal powerhouses can't destroy it."

"And by the time that situation arises, I will have already built a spaceship that can take you away from here."

Luo Feng raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything more. He knew that Babata's brain circuits were different from theirs.

"What if there's also a chance to prevent the disaster from happening in advance, but the price of success is also gambling with your future?" Zhou Ze asked Luo Feng calmly.

"A bet?" Luo Feng smiled and said, "Teacher, I saw a sentence in an ancient book..."

"My fate is in my own hands, not in the hands of heaven!"

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name: 10 ...

"If I truly had the ability to stop it beforehand, it would be my responsibility, and I would definitely do it without hesitation. Of course, as you said, there's hope as long as you're alive, so I won't throw my life away in vain. I'll only go in if there's absolutely no other way..."

Compared to his original character, Luo Feng's personality has indeed changed somewhat due to Zhou Ze's influence.

Babata said unhappily, "Luo Feng, you are the only successor of my Meteorite Star. The only inheritance soul imprint left by my master was given to you. I will not allow you to die!"

Luo Feng joked, "Stop talking about death all the time, it's bad luck. Didn't the teacher say he was betting my future on this?"

"Even if I'm affected in some way and can't improve my strength, I still have you, Babata, and the teacher. They'll definitely help me, haha."

Babata snorted, "Don't compare my great Babata to this guy! He's not worthy! I, the demon Babata, have been with my master for billions of years across the universe. How can this little brat, who's not even a fraction of my age, compare to me!"

Zhou Ze laughed: "Yeah, you're an old woman who's lived for billions of years, yet you're always acting like a little girl..."

Babata instantly flew into a rage, appearing behind Zhou Ze in a flash, his iron tail locking around Zhou Ze's neck...

"Sigh..." Luo Feng sighed as he watched Zhou Ze and Babata playfully fighting.

"If I gamble with my future, will it mean that I can't improve in the future?" Luo Feng suddenly wondered.

Zhou Ze immediately severed his connection with Babata's consciousness.

"No, it's just that there are more uncertainties in the future," Zhou Ze smiled.

Luo Feng's eyes were resolute: "Isn't this similar to my concerns before entering Ancient Civilization Ruins No. 9? The future inherently represents uncertainty; there's no such thing as a predetermined future in this world!"

"Just like how I only wanted to improve my family's situation and buy a big house for my parents and Ahua, I never imagined things would turn out this way!"

"If it means sacrificing my future or dying, I might need to consider if there's a better way. But what does it matter if the future becomes a little more uncertain?"

"A martial artist must inherently possess the courage to cut through everything and the unwavering spirit to forge ahead. It's just that there's uncertainty. If you don't even have this much courage, what future are you talking about? What makes you think you can become a strong person!"

Zhou Ze smiled slightly and said, "Indeed."

After Zhou Ze finished speaking, he lay down on the chair and closed his eyes to rest, leaving Luo Feng standing there in a daze.

After a long silence, Luo Feng finally spoke up and asked, "Teacher, what do these two questions have to do with cultivating one's state of mind? I still don't understand."

Luo Feng felt that his brain, with a span of 22, was not enough. He didn't understand the meaning of Zhou Ze's question. It seemed to be related to mental cultivation, but it also seemed to be completely unrelated.

Zhou Ze said with his eyes closed, "Didn't I say this a long time ago? Cultivating one's mind requires more experience, trials, and tribulations. Don't always think about taking shortcuts."

"The expedient method is to understand the various impulses of the heart, to realize one's true nature, and to focus on what the heart truly desires!"

"Cultivate a calm and peaceful mind, free from internal and external disturbances."

"When you can truly do these things, you have achieved enlightenment and realized your true nature."

Luo Feng seemed to be deep in thought, and then said, "I have some ideas. I'll go back and think about them first."

"Okay, go ahead." Zhou Ze waved his hand lazily.

Luo Feng returned to the training hall on the second floor of his house. Seeing that Luo Feng was neither cultivating genetic energy nor reading books or practicing secret techniques, Babata couldn't help but jump out and say seriously:

"Luo Feng, even if you want to cultivate the so-called state of mind, you don't need to spend so much time and energy. Primal energy, mental power, inherited secret techniques, etc., all of these require cultivation."

"While I don't think your so-called state of mind is very effective, I do understand your Earth culture quite well; these things can't be forced!"

"It often takes a lifetime of accumulation before a sudden enlightenment. You're too hasty; you've already committed a major taboo in cultivating one's state of mind!"

"Moreover, I have searched through all the ancient books of your Chinese nation, and your Chinese sages throughout the ages have said that walking, sitting and lying down are all forms of cultivation. In other words, focusing on the present moment is cultivating one's state of mind."

"What that guy meant by regulating the mind and not being disturbed by internal or external factors was focusing on the present moment and not being influenced by emotions and desires..."

Luo Feng suddenly understood and said earnestly to Babata, "Thank you, Babata, I understand!"

Babata said smugly, "Hmph, no need to thank me. These things are too easy for me, child's play. Only that guy surnamed Zhou has been trying to smear me, playing the riddle-solver!"

Luo Feng was speechless.

"On another note, your Chinese ancestors did have some merit. From my perspective, those things about mindset and character, to put it bluntly, are about cultivating the mentality of a strong person. They had some merit, but not much."

Babata lay in the air, yawned, and said:

"Alright, Luo Feng, focus on cultivating the secret techniques of our Meteorite Star. I've worked so hard for you for so long, and I haven't hidden anything or embellished anything."

Even if you value cultivating your mind and state of mind, you can't rush it.

Luo Feng nodded and said, "I understand. Actually, the teacher has always emphasized this, but I was blinded by the domain!"

Babata got angry again and roared, "Your current teacher is your master, and that bastard Zhou Ze was just your first teacher. You've already graduated!!"

Luo Feng was both amused and exasperated. Every time Babata argued with his teacher, he would be met with Babata's demonic roar whenever he mentioned him.

He's practically become a traitor.

He quickly changed the subject: "By the way, Babata, didn't you say you'd read all the ancient Chinese books? What exactly is a 'domain'? And what's its relationship to one's state of mind?"
