Chapter 964: Chapter 962: Senior Brother, You Still Have Me

There, it has calmed down, like a lakeside, like an ancient well, utterly motionless, yet the residual waves of divine power linger in the air, like floating dust.

Wen Yuqing’s aura fluctuations remain as well.

With blood and tears blurring his vision, Chen Pingping keeps wiping them away, and as he sways, he seems to see his master’s figure.

She stands quietly within the Dead Sea, a long gown fluttering like a fairy, with an ethereal temperament, and when she smiles, it’s as if a hundred flowers bloom, making even the heavens and earth pale in comparison.

Her form is slender, her posture graceful, as she steps towards Chen Pingping, teasing with a smile: "Young man, you cry so ugly!"

"Wah wah..." He couldn’t help but cry loudly, like a child.

"Pingping, don’t cry!" Wen Yuqing continued, "A man should be able to stand tall and firm, how can you cry?"

"Wah wah..."

"You are my chief disciple, show the dignity of being a chief disciple, okay? Don’t let others look down on us." Wen Yuqing looked with disdain: "The head disciple of Qingfeng’s sect?"

Chen Pingping reaches out his hands, wanting to embrace Wen Yuqing, but alas, a breeze blows and her figure disintegrates like dust.

Roar!

Chen Pingping roars again, his sadness to the extreme, his body trembling, blood and tears still flowing, as he struggles to gaze forward.

But there it remains as calm as ever.

He disregards the power of catastrophe and steps into the Dead Sea with difficulty.

But where in the vast Dead Sea is there anything?

Suddenly, Wen Yuqing’s voice appears once more, but this time it’s entirely different from before, her clothes are slightly disheveled, as is her long hair.

A flawless face, full of fatigue.

She forces a smile and says: "Pingping, you must take care of yourself."

"Master!" Chen Pingping wipes away blood and tears, hoarsely calling out these two words.

"You have grown up."

"Master, please come back!" Chen Pingping calls out again: "I promise to be obedient."

"I... I can’t go back!" Wen Yuqing’s expression turned bleak: "You must take care of yourself, listen, find a gentle, beautiful, kind, and generous woman to marry, and then have children."

"..."

At the mention of this, Chen Pingping felt bitter. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

He didn’t know how to respond to those words, because he already had the Moon God and Guang Xiaoyu.

But between him and his master...

That distance seems to be growing further.

Chen Pingping slightly opened his mouth, his lips trembling, still pleading: "Master, please come back! I miss you."

Wen Yuqing smiled but said nothing.

This time, her figure also dissipated, like a gust of wind.

The Dead Sea returns to stillness, except for the calamity and karma above, resonating like an ancient tune, full of melancholy.

Guang Xiaoyu stands at the edge of the Dead Sea, with tears streaming down her face; she can clearly sense the despair in her brother’s heart.

If only a little earlier.

If he had come slightly earlier, maybe he would have seen his master.

But the calamity upon him presses him firmly, every move is exceedingly difficult, the flesh has exploded many times, reconstructs, and moves forward again.

The repeated process severely slowed his pace.

But?

What could change by coming?

Those who intervened were seven gods!

She should selfishly feel fortunate that her brother was late, avoiding the slaughter by the gods.

Yet she also feels powerless, she once thought that by cultivating a demon, she could change some situations, such as blocking strong enemies on her brother’s battlefield.

But now it seems, she is still too weak.

Guang Xiaoyu quietly wipes her tears, just gazing ahead: "Brother, you still have me."

As time flows, who knows how long has passed.

Gradually, some cultivators arrive here, when they catch the residual waves in the Dead Sea, each one is shocked and suffocated...

It’s truly divine power.

The gods of the heavens descended here, blocking Wen Yuqing and slaying her.

They are deeply moved.

Isn’t it said that gods cannot easily descend into the mortal world?

Or have they found a way?

If the latter is true, then... the human clan will once again fall into a terrifying period of dark turmoil!

"I heard that seven gods intervened, just to slay a Wen Yuqing." Someone whispered, with a solemn expression.

"Shh, don’t speak so loudly, Chen Pingping is still here, he might go berserk if he hears."

"Isn’t he undergoing a tribulation?"

"Yes! So saying it shouldn’t matter, right?"

At that moment, everyone feels a sharp chill, like knives.

The group stands vigilantly, following the direction of the pervasive chill, they see Guang Xiaoyu.

And another.

The Demon Emperor Guang Xiaoyu is present too, and this girl possesses terrifying power, not any less than Chen Pingping!

The cultivators instantly fall silent, no longer daring to speak.

Not too long afterward.

Within the catastrophe, Chen Pingping’s crying sounds again, he seems to have gone mad, sometimes calm, sometimes crying, without facing the catastrophe nor the intention to condense Great Emperor Tao Fruits.

It’s truly, indescribable.

Since he can reach the step of Tao Verification, then first verify the Tao!

As for Wen Yuqing’s fall, the world is unpredictable, no one can say for sure, it wouldn’t be too late to grieve after verifying the Tao!

"This catastrophe is truly frightening." An elder said gravely.

The scope of coverage is too vast, numerous powers of destruction descend, yet even so, it’s still difficult to bring down Chen Pingping below.

Of course, the power of destruction is only one element.

Above still lies Thunder Palace, Jade Mansion, Ancient Ferocious Beasts, Innate Beings, Ancient Emperors, even the Mighty Power of the gods and so on.

Under such a terrifying catastrophe, for Chen Pingping to endure until now is truly astonishing.

If it were an ordinary Tao Verifier, they would likely have already perished!

Rumble!

Another Ancient Emperor appears, emerging from the thunder, his imposing stature, very brawny, his eyes opening with cold light upright.

But soon he refocuses: "Descendant of the human clan."

Everyone is moved.

Even Guang Xiaoyu is shocked.

Isn’t this the condensation of the Heavenly Dao’s imprint? How can it still speak?

Chen Pingping raises his head.

The Great Emperor speaks: "Are you going to give up?"

Chen Pingping remains silent, his despair evident.

"Why do you cultivate the Tao?" The Ancient Emperor speaks again.

Cultivating the Tao, this term is indeed ancient.

Because the current era focuses on "cultivation"!

Clearly, the Ancient Emperor before him existed in a very distant era.

Chen Pingping slightly opens his mouth, within his thoughts of utter despair, some light points slowly emerge, why cultivate the Tao? Indeed! Why?

Of course, it’s for my master.

Sword in hand, protect you for ten thousand years.

But no one expected that at this moment, his time of Tao Verification, his master would be blocked by the gods, slain in the Dead Sea, unable to even meet one last time.

Chen Pingping’s Tao heart shattered suddenly, no longer holding any previous color in his eyes.

The Ancient Emperor controls the thunder, suppressing the catastrophe, his deep eyes just staring at Chen Pingping below: "Have you ever looked back?"

Looked back?

Instinctively, Chen Pingping turns, scanning the crowd behind him, his gaze falls on Guang Xiaoyu standing on the edge of the Dead Sea, her face full of worry and sorrow.

His heart trembles, waves rising within.

Guang Xiaoyu, pretty and poised, gentle and charming, occasionally lively and adorable, though she lacks the supreme aura of his master, nor the floating immortal energy of the Fairy.

She’s even unranked among many beauties.

But?

Guang Xiaoyu is the only one among everyone who quietly accompanied him from beginning to end.

She’s like a willingly deceived foolish child, always behind him, whenever he turns back.

Happy when he’s happy, sad when he’s sad.

"Senior, I understand." Chen Pingping’s voice is hoarse, bitter...

The Ancient Emperor: "???"

You understand what?

I haven’t even said anything!
