Chapter 1564: Chapter 1207: Friends Who Believe, Confidants Who Stand Firm!

"The Divine Sovereign only gave your friend ten days, five of which have already passed. You have only five days left to cherish; what are your last wishes?"

The melodious voice of a woman, akin to a nightingale, echoed in the courtyard. Shui Ling sat smilingly by the flower bed, conversing casually as if discussing household matters, leaving only a graceful silhouette to the person behind her.

"Since there are still five days left, isn’t it too early to think about last wishes? Perhaps there’s no need at all?"

The person behind her replied with a carefree tone tinged with a hint of roguishness, then raised the wine pot in his hand, tipped his head back to take a sip, and laughed heartily, "Why not talk about what should be done now, such as... having another drink?"

Shui Ling’s beautiful eyes turned unfathomably deep. Her delicate face flashed with a bit of melancholic helplessness. She gently said, "Don’t you really care about your life? Or do you truly believe your friend will come? He won’t. You don’t know the power of the Divine Sovereign, but your friend certainly does; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been silent these days."

Lu Xiaofeng sighed, "My friend’s skills are great, but his greatest skill is his unyielding loyalty. Not only is our relationship strong, but he himself is also tough, and his resolve even tougher! So, knowing full well how powerful the Eternal Life God is, he’ll still come."

Shui Ling twisted her waist slightly, tilting her head, "But he has been completely silent."

Lu Xiaofeng smiled, forming two adorable dimples, and said with his head raised, "When he is silent, that is precisely the most dangerous time because you never know what miracle he might suddenly create! Even I can’t imagine it."

Shui Ling couldn’t help but chuckle, "It’s hard to imagine. Although I’ve heard of his notorious name, I’ve never been as sure as you are about believing in someone. Do you trust him that much?"

"Of course!" Lu Xiaofeng put down the wine pot, his gaze sincere and full of affection as he admired the woman opposite him, "Just like I trust you!"

Shui Ling’s heart trembled, unable to meet Lu Xiaofeng’s burning gaze, she lowered her head and said, "You’re so astute, you should know I’ve been deceiving you all along."

Lu Xiaofeng smiled gently, "I know. But a fool may be deceived twice at most, while a person of deep sentiment may be deceived two hundred times because they willingly accept it."

Shui Ling suddenly felt she couldn’t breathe, as if she was suffocating and drowning in the emotional depths of his voice.

Never had a man intrigued her so much, moved her heart so profoundly, even made her hate him, but now there was.

So, despite knowing it was wrong, she continued down this wrong path, unable to extricate herself. Perhaps love is indeed this confusing, when it comes like a flood breaching a dam, instantly overwhelming all deliberately built defenses in the heart, leaving one exposed.

At this moment, she had already decided to make a bold choice, despite that she would have to pay the price with her life.

But life, isn’t it only life if it’s alive? If one cannot live freely, joyfully, and love passionately, pursue happiness courageously, then what is life? It’s merely a cursed life.

"Lu Xiaofeng, I’ve decided..."

"No, you don’t need to decide, I know what you want to do. But I won’t agree!"

Shui Ling was stunned, staring dazedly at Lu Xiaofeng’s carefree expression, suddenly cursing him lowly, "You fool, you complete fool! I must! I must!"

Lu Xiaofeng’s expression suddenly turned serious and solemn, "I really don’t need it! Shui Ling! If you trust me, you should trust my decision. If you want to help me, actually another method is safer and more helpful to me."

"What is it?"

"You can do it like this..."

...

Wisdom is like a knife; the more it is honed by suffering, the sharper it becomes. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

But even the greatest wisdom cannot foresee what Shui Ling will do, only Lu Xiaofeng knows.

Far away, thousands of miles away, Jiang Dali naturally does not know either.

On this fifth day, he has already walked out of the Dharma Cave.

Unfortunately, after lasting for three days, the Dharma Buddha Power’s blessing had begun to weaken.

By the fifth day, the power was so weak it was almost negligible, with an increase of only 2 Cultivation Points and Potential Points every half a breath.

At this rate, even if he persisted for two more days, he would still be over six hundred thousand short of the required ten million Cultivation Pills to break through to the Returning to Truth Realm 6. Therefore, Jiang Dali decisively abandoned wasting any more time in the Dharma Cave.

Upon leaving the Dharma Cave, he had accumulated over nine million two hundred thousand Cultivation Points and more than eleven million Potential Points.

This immense accumulation of Cultivation Points was completely consumed, although it didn’t allow him to break into the Returning to Truth Realm 6, it left him just a step away from breaking through, and his Qi-Blood and Inner Strength were further enhanced, boosting his strength again slightly.

Although this enhancement is at least twice as far from the true life elevation brought about by a breakthrough in the minor realm, it is still a real improvement, undoubtedly adding a bit more confidence to his life-and-death battle with the Eternal Life God.

On the fifth day, Dongfang Bubai and Wang Yuyan and others had already ridden the Demon Hawk with Bu Jingyun to Shaolin, meeting him once again.

At the same time, Xiao Feng and others, who were far in Mongolia, had also met up with Nie Renwang who had hurried there, sending back a letter of peace and indicating they were en route to Shu.

...

"Village chief, as it stands, it seems only the news from Divine Sovereign and Master Hui En is still uncertain. Should we wait another two days?"

In the monastery’s guest room for dignitaries, Wang Yuyan gingerly assisted Jiang Dali in putting on long boots, her rosy face raised in a tentative inquiry.

"Don’t worry!"

Jiang Dali gave a faint smile, stepping on the ground two times to try out the new shoes, saying, "I certainly won’t fight a battle without assurances. I planned to stay two more days at Shaolin. Your newly made shoe pads are quite nice, very comfortable."

"As long as you like them, village chief!" Wang Yuyan smiled happily, not knowing whether she was pleased with Jiang Dali’s decision or the praise, or perhaps both.

"Our Wang Mei’er is becoming more and more elegant! Her skills are getting better, though unfortunately Wan Wan does not know this needlework."

A fragrant breeze wafted over, Wan Wan’s soft-boned silhouette moved close to the bed, sitting beside Jiang Dali, massaging his shoulders, her beautiful eyes gazing at this long-missed lover. She smiled intimately, saying, "Village chief hasn’t slimmed down during this time, still strong as ever, which reassures me. However, your constant intense cultivation must be tiring. How about letting me serve you one night tonight?"

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere inside the room changed slightly, even though everyone present knew Wan Wan’s fiery and charming personality, except Dongfang Bubai, Wang Yuyan, and Murong Qingqing felt somewhat overwhelmed.

Jiang Dali shook his head, grasping Wan Wan’s hand, saying, "Wan Wan, Shaolin Buddhist Sect is a pure land, it is not appropriate to offend so."

Wan Wan snorted softly, easily compelling pretty face revealed a smile, saying, "What pure Buddhist land, those young monks couldn’t move their eyes seeing me."

Jiang Dali smelled the fragrant smell of the ladies around him, giving a faint smile, expelling all impure thoughts from his spirit. Standing up tall, hands behind his back, he said, "Now is not the time for leisurely chatting with you. Tonight, I will continue cultivating in the Wooden Man Alley for two more days. After two days, I will set off for Shu to find Old Zhu and the others and together head to the God-searching Palace."

Standing in the porch, Dongfang Bubai frowned, looking back and saying, "But has the specific location of the God-searching Palace been determined?"

Jiang Dali’s face turned solemn, saying, "That indeed hasn’t been confirmed yet, but I suppose Sikong Zhaixing should have already found the specific location of the God-searching Palace, and there should be news from Old Zhu’s side, so, during these two days, you must be particularly vigilant."

Murong Qingqing expressed some concern, saying, "You claim that the Longsheng Immortal God of the God-searching Palace possesses the strength of Returning to Truth 9 realm. With your current strength... If you proceed rashly..."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone’s attention turned towards Jiang Dali, their minds were tense.

"Some things in this world can be done, and some things cannot be done. But if it’s something I, Jiang Dali, want to accomplish, no matter how difficult, it can be done. Do you not believe it?"

Jiang Dali laughed heartily, his carefree spirit rising, and spoke in a loud voice.

The four felt his serene and profound demeanor, experiencing an invincible momentum, and their spirits were infected with his confident state, casting away their apprehensions and worries into the clouds.

Wang Yuyan took a deep breath, stood up, grabbed Jiang Dali’s sturdy wrist, and said resolutely, "Village chief! This time, I want to go too. Even though my strength is rather low, you can’t leave me behind again this time."

Jiang Dali’s eyebrows slightly moved; he turned to look into Wang Yuyan’s pair of bright apricot eyes at such close distance, as they faced each other. Jiang Dali’s penetrating sharp eyes seemed to see through all the mysteries in Wang Yuyan’s eyes.

A beautiful face with lament was silently and shyly lowered slightly under Jiang Dali’s eyes, no words were spoken but all the necessary words were already said.

He then looked at the side at the elegance resembling a spirit in the empty mountains’ rain, Murong Qingqing, looked at Wan Wan with charming demeanor, looked to the other side deliberately not looking at him but expressed her attitude with a proud hum, Dongfang Bubai.

He instantly understood the four’s unwavering determination, and he smiled brightly, like the sun, possessing an alluring charm, saying, "Good! Last time at Heaven Mountain, we couldn’t go together. This time for God-searching Palace, let us go together and shatter it! Hahaha!"

Jiang Dali laughed heartily, tiger eyes shooting boundless brilliance, exuding an awe-inspiring, powerful aura.

Dongfang Bubai couldn’t help but glance sideways, looking at the person full of heroic spirit, his smile full of unspeakable charm, and her delicate eyes shot out a hint of bewildered expression...
