The most melodramatic rebirth in history

Chapter 265 Where Life Lies

Half a cup of tea has passed...

"Senior, you are too kind!" Feng Ling stood up and clasped his hands in greeting. Xiaoyaozi immediately put down his chess piece with a wry smile and said tremblingly, "Alas, I have devoted my life to studying chess and considered myself a master. I never imagined that I would be defeated by a junior like you today..."

"Haha, Brother Xiaoyao, a bet's a bet, so don't make things difficult for a junior!"

The Jade Purity Sect Master's face was beaming with a smile, making Xiaoyaozi feel extremely uncomfortable. He immediately stood up and threw a stream of light at Feng Ling: "Enough! This technique was created when I broke through to the Epic level, and I suddenly comprehended and created my own Epic-level movement technique—Xiaoyao You. Once you learn this technique, you can face three Epic-level experts a day without any danger to your life... As for the one thing I promised you, once you've thought it through, just tell me, and I'll fulfill my promise at any time!"

"Thank you, senior!" The light in his hand transformed into a scroll, and Feng Ling politely expressed his gratitude. In reality, with the heaven-defying movement technique "Star Shift" in his hands, this "Free and Easy Wandering" was like a chicken rib, dispensable.

"Senior Xiaoyao, what I seek is very simple, just a piece of information. I have heard that you are very knowledgeable and have just returned from traveling the continent. May I ask if you know of any way to bring back to life those whose souls have fallen into a deep slumber?"

In order to obtain accurate and detailed information from Xiaoyaozi, Fengling did not hesitate to use the favor Xiaoyaozi promised.

"This..." Upon hearing this, Xiaoyaozi looked troubled and hesitated to speak.

Seeing this, Feng Tianjue, who had been waiting for an opportunity, immediately said solemnly, "Brother Xiaoyao, I once saved your life. Now you have promised my junior a favor. I implore you to tell me the truth, both out of gratitude and out of morality. I will repay you handsomely in the future!"

When one reaches the level of Xiaoyaozi, one's words become law.

If his answer to Feng Ling today is false and he cannot be true to himself, his Dao heart will surely develop cracks in the future, hindering his cultivation in this life.

Not worth the candle!

"Alas, Tianjue, I sensed the calamity that befell your Yuqing Sect two years ago when I observed the stars. The reason I didn't come to warn you was because this calamity is a matter of life and death. If any unrelated person forcibly intervenes and interferes with the trajectory of the power of fate, they will only end up either dead or seriously injured! Back then, out of our deep friendship, I used my cultivation to forcibly deduce the source of your daughter's life force, but I was also seriously injured and fell into a coma as a result. Before I fell into a coma, I seemed to hear the warning words of fate: 'An old friend will return in a year, and the secrets of heaven will be revealed and blood will be spilled!'"

As time passed, you did not come, and I thought it might have been a misperception, that the matter had been forgotten. Who would have thought you would indeed come seeking a way to resurrect your daughter! Though I do not know why it took a year to come, I dare not gamble my life with fate! Please forgive me!

After finishing his speech, Xiaoyaozi sighed deeply. Whenever he recalled the experience of being severely injured and unconscious due to the backlash from his deduction of fate, a sense of fear would rise from the depths of his soul.

“This… Tianjue understands. Brother Xiaoyao has done everything he could. Tianjue will remember this kindness forever, and today I will pretend that I never existed…”

Upon learning the whole story, the Jade Purity Sect Master was deeply saddened, knowing that he shouldn't have asked too much of Xiaoyaozi, after all, the other party had risked his life without asking for anything in return, so how could he force him to do something he couldn't possibly ask for now?

Fortunately, the trip wasn't entirely fruitless; at least we learned the definite answer:

In this world, there is a way to restore Feng Yuqing to her original state, and that alone is enough!

"Feng Ling, we..."

Having figured this out, the Jade Purity Sect Master was about to call Feng Ling to leave when he suddenly saw the black-clad youth, who had been standing there with an ever-changing expression, stare intently at the dejected Xiaoyaozi: "Senior Xiaoyao, if the prophecy is true, I do have a way that can satisfy both your needs and your Dao heart..."

Life isn't about persevering because of hope; it's about seeing hope because you persevere.

Amidst the myriad troubles and disturbances of the world, may the sages bring you, the readers, a pure land for your souls.
