Collecting KNOWLEDGE

A while later

Cross and Long Chen along with the Dragon Blood Warriors and the girls went for a walk around, exterminated an entire monster beast clan, collected some protection fees before being brought to a human encampment but an old man, named Huang Hui, who acknowledged Long Chen as his teacher.

Apparently this fucking old man was a world king and he saw Long Chen preaching the Starry River Sky Art in a Photo Jade. Doesn't the old man immediately practice and become a Celestial Reverend? I can't fucking believe it, honestly.

Anyway, they saw a wanted poster for Mo Nian before going inside. When they went inside the World shook and the old bastard said "The Saint King State regained Consciousness, we must hurry!"

They came to a giant camp, all kinds of powerhouses kneeled down excitedly and Long Chen said quickly "Woah, woah. Everyone is a Starry River Successor, I am just a youngster, I can't accept this!" a man said excitedly "Senior, you will represent our Starry River Lineage! Haha! We're sure to win!"

Suddenly, a Palace with a signboard that said "Starry River" on it, erupted from the ground. Cross' eyes spun rapidly, working in overdrive and copying everything. He went through the entire palace before coming to the Main hall. He complied a thick book and was looking at the ceiling with Long Chen.

The book in the library suddenly started shining before becoming completely dark blue with millions of stars littered all over it and big words "Starry River Sky Arts" on it. Cross was satisfied and left the temple before walking outside.

Feng Xue'er was sitting by the side, swinging her legs sitting on giant luxurious wooden sword with intertwining phoenix carvings and her initials in the hilt. The sword was a mix of black and gold interweaving and intertwining but the Phoenixes were red and blue and the hilt was white as snow.

Cross changed the spoon and took great care of the sword for her. Every carving was filled with great care and attention. He walked over and sat next to her, smiling as he intertwined his hands with hers saying "Do you like it?"

Feng Xue'er said "I love it!" Cross smiled and said "You know, yesterday I met this girl. You know the girl we saw when we recused the Rhino boy? Well, apparently her name is Feng Fei, but she's from the Jiang Family, very mysterious. She reminds me of you."

Xue'er smiled and said "You talked to her?" Cross nodded and said "Yep. She's very nice, though I don't know if she was faking it. I practiced for this sword, by making her one. It was a normal sword with flower carvings on it. Let me tell you, this one was much harder to make! I borrowed Immortal Demon bones to make the hilt and added a few fire treasures to it."

He sighed and continued "It took me a month to make this sword, I almost scrapped it because it wasn't good enough. I really wanted to make an Immortal Weapon, alas... I even used the rust from the Universal Cauldron but even then..."

He had a face full of regret, Xue'er smiled softly and said "I love you. So much." Cross was startled and said "Yo-" Xue'er kissed him and Cross closed his eyes, she pulled back and Cross said "I love you too, Xue'er. I'm sorry, it's not the best..."

Xue'er rolled her eyes and said "Half-Immortal Grade weapon, even if Guo Ran and Xia Chen work for years they won't be able to make one. What are you sorry about? Plus, I love it. It's my own personal weapon. Plus, I'm nourishing it as we speak. Soon, it will get a spirit, who knows if it will rank up at that time?"

Cross smiled and caressed her soft hand as he said "What did I do to deserve you, Xue'er?" Xue'er giggled and said "You made it snow for me, remember?" Cross smiled and opened his palm, a woman made of snow danced gracefully in his palm as he said "I remember every movement." Feng Xue'er covered her mouth with her hands as she teared up saying "Cross..."

Cross smiled and said "You know, I think I fell in love with you at first sight. So beautiful, graceful, warm, kind, pure..." he sighed and said sadly "Sometimes, I think I corrupted you. I feel like you would still be the innocent and pure angel I met that day... If I didn't bring you into my fucked up world, would you be happier?"

Xue'er said angrily "After everything we've been through, you say this to me?!" Cross sighed and replied "I didn't mean it like that. You're one of the most important things in my life, without you I would be lost. I love you and I love Amelia, I'm so happy that you're with me and love me..."

He looked at her with his own emotional eyes as he said "You're irreplaceable to me, but the Pure Angel I met a long time ago... I washed you with blood, I can't even give you the peaceful life you want, I-" Xue'er gave him a big slap, he turned his head to the side and she said coldly "You, what? You're feeling bad? Do you know that all I want is to help you?"

Xue'er continued with red eyes and a cold voice "You think I'm not happy? How could you know? I was a caged bird until I met you. You broke me free and protected me from the wind and rain. I might have been innocent before but what was the difference between that and a prisoner?! Do you understand? You're my knight in shining armor, my savior, but most importantly my husband. Don't you EVER say that to me again."

Cross looked at her and saw the pain in her eyes, he embraced her tightly and said softly "I won't, Xuexue. I'm sorry." Feng Xue'er cried, losing her strong appearance as she said "Don't doubt yourself anymore, it hurts me to see you like that."

Cross kissed her head and rubbed her back as he said "I won't, I promise. Never again." Feng Xue'er nestled on his lap and hummed, leaning on his chest meekly. Cross held her with one hand and tied up his hair in a messy bun with the other. He hummed softly, caressing her arms and thighs gently with care.

He looked up and saw Long Chen giving a sermon to the 8 Million people. He waved and stacks and stacks of books piled up in the camp, forming a mountain of books.

Days later

Long Chen finished talking and everyone noticed the books. Cross smiled and held a sleeping Xue'er as he said softly "I've complied Long Chen's teachings and my own observations in the book. There's enough to go around and then some. Everyone take one book for yourself, ah right, someone who has the capability take the extras and spread them around to everyone else. The Starry River Sect won't end with you all."

One man took a book and said in shock "What the fuck?!" everybody looked at him and he said "It's! It's! It's perfect! It has everyway possible! It even has Teacher Long's original teachings! Thank you! Thank you!" the other powerhouses' eyes turned red and they each took a book.

One old man said in awe "It even has the way to activate the Divine Abilities!" Cross smiled as he watched an old man distribute the books before giving extras to the people who were able to spread it. Long Chen looked in a book and was startled himself, it was a complete collection of everything inside the palace as well as before!

Long Chen looked at Cross with a glint in his eyes, Cross looked over and they communicated secretly. Cross' eyes flashed and Long Chen's eyes widened with intense shock, Cross smiled and Long Chen walked over and Cross said directly "I can give you many things, but not this. Absolutely not."

Long Chen was stunned and Cross added with a smile "Your path is ahead on your own, not from a path that already exists. If I give it to you, you will only get confused and I could accidentally ruin you. That's what I don't want to happen the most." Long Chen was touched and smiled saying "You're really..." Cross said "Handsome? Amazing? Peerless? Invincible? A crane among sheep?"

Long Chen laughed and said "Shameless. The word I was looking for was Shameless." Cross chuckled and said "Anyway, I'm sorry. I don't mean to be an asshole but I can't bear the burden of ruining you with my own hands." Long Chen grinned and said "After all, you need a Law Enforcement Hall master, no?"

Cross was stunned before laughing "That's right! Hahaha!" he leaned in and whispered "And after that, I'm going to find that damn dragon guy and make him the guardian beast of the sect. Hmph! Acting all mysterious! I'll clean him up good!" Long Chen burst out laughing and a cold snort sounded in their minds.

The duo froze and Cross coughed saying "That damn Tiger is who I was talking about." Long Chen nodded sagely as he added "Yes, yes, a fine Guardian Beast!" the Dragon guy was exasperated but laughed to himself, wherever he was.

A while later

Cross was carrying Xue'er on his back and flying through the ruins, looking at the sects that were popping up. He went to each Sect and copied all the arts inside before going to the next one. The ruin grounds had multiple abandoned Sect buildings that showed their inheritance was cut off. Not anymore, Cross made it a point to pick up the sects that were abandoned and collect their arts and techniques.

He didn't want a good sect, he wanted the best sect to ever exist! A sect that would last for the rest of time! A sect that had everything in one place! An ultimate Sect that he could spend the rest of his days in.

That was his dream, secretly his favorite time was teaching the kids at Hogwarts long ago. He sighed to himself, most of those kids were now middle aged and most likely already grandparents, peacefully living out their lives. He wondered if they ever thought of him and remembered his classes.

He would never forget.

He flew around the ruins and copied inheritances, stuffing them into the library endlessly. He even scanned every living being he saw. Countless books were pouring into the Library as Cross flew around on the wooden sword, looking like an Immortal from the Tv shows he saw a long time ago.

Days passed like this

Cross was in ecstasy collection all these inheritances. He even went into the Sects of others, it was easy, beat a few people up, copy the techniques and leave. If one fist didn't work, what about two? Dumb bastards didn't even see the second one coming.

Cross flew around, until he heard an annoying voice "When did Lingxiao Academy become a men loves woman type of place?" Cross flew over with a vicious grin, this daddy hasn't killed someone for a long time, I'm afraid my blade is unable to endure the thirst.
