Chapter 268 The Road of Life



Weiye.

The stars and moon vie for brilliance, scattering their cool, silvery light, while wind and frost cover the earth.

At a time when all was quiet, a dazzling and spectacular scene unfolded on the open ground outside the central pavilion of the planting base.

But then Old Yuan stood behind Wu Wei, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, and placed one hand on the top of her head, bestowing upon her the internal energy of the Mu Shen Gong (a powerful martial arts technique).

Tian Juan paced anxiously in the pavilion, her beautiful face contorted with worry.

In the distance, the patrolling soldiers would occasionally glance at the light source in the central pavilion, lost in thought.

The strict discipline of soldiers limited communication among them.

When carrying out a mission, remain focused and avoid discussion.

All of this came into Zheng Ya's perception. While feeling gratified, he also learned from Old Yuan's enlightening words to Wu Wei.

Although Zheng Ya had incorporated all of Lao Yuan's skills into his body, making him no less skilled than Lao Yuan, Zheng Ya knew in his heart that skills that were merely planned and replicated were far inferior to those that Lao Yuan had honed through countless trials.

Old Yuan's words of wisdom to Wu Wei were like a revelation, while for Zheng Ya, it was like receiving practical combat experience that he couldn't afford to miss.

Meanwhile, Old Yuan was slowly channeling his Grandmaster-level internal energy into Wu Wei's body to help her open up the meridians and acupoints through which the Muchen Divine Skill was circulating. The process was extremely dangerous; the slightest mistake could cause Wu Wei to injure her meridians and explode, resulting in her death.

Moreover, the internal energy of the Muchen Divine Skill cultivated by Lao Yuan is highly corrosive. If Wu Wei had not been born with the physique to accommodate the radiation energy of the Muchen Pearl, she might have exploded and died as soon as she came into contact with Lao Yuan's Muchen Divine Skill internal energy.

Even so, Old Yuan dared not be careless in the slightest. He precisely controlled a wisp of his internal energy to invade Wu Wei's body, advancing it little by little along the path of the Muchen Technique: "Pop pop."

Whenever her internal energy flows through an acupoint in Wu Wei's body, her whole body trembles, and her internal energy surges by one point, bursting out with a faint radiance in the unexpected air.

The enlightenment is ongoing!

Wu Wei's internal strength and aura gradually increased. Her cultivation level progressed from the middle stage of Dark Force to the late stage of Dark Force, then to the peak. She broke through to the early stage of Grandmaster, then the middle stage, and finally the peak, but then she got stuck.

Wu Wei was exhausted at this point, but she gritted her teeth and persevered.

This made Old Yuan anxious but unable to speak, leading to a crisis for both father and daughter, who could both die if things went wrong.

Tian Juan noticed that the father and daughter looked strange, and she was so frightened that she knelt down and murmured, "No, don't let anything happen, please don't let anything happen."

"By the way, Zheng Ya, are you there? Please save them, I beg you..."

"Sigh, what an arrogant woman, so eager for quick success and so greedy!" Zheng Ya naturally sensed that Lao Yuan's enlightenment to Wu Wei was at a critical moment, a crucial point where she was caught between breakthrough and backlash.

The problem was that Lao Yuan was unable to support Wu Wei's breakthrough to the Grandmaster realm, but Wu Wei fought desperately, leading to a crisis.

At this moment, Wu Wei was relying entirely on her willpower, completely devoid of reason, and desperately trying to break through with a death-defying mentality.

We are currently at the point where the two bridges connecting heaven and earth are connected. Breaking through the current realm will bring about the gathering of five flowers at the top, a new world and a new realm where adversity turns into prosperity.

However, if they fail to take this step, a backlash energy will form, impacting the meridians and acupoints in their bodies. At best, it will cause them to become paralyzed on one side of their body; at worst, it will lead to their death.

This is different from Zheng Ya helping people plan their martial arts to become stronger.

Planning and guiding people with supernatural abilities and spiritual arts is simply to provide them with the correct way to cultivate themselves, helping them avoid detours and become stronger through self-cultivation.

As for Zheng Ya's supposed enlightenment on Ma Hua's culinary skills, it was all a smokescreen to cover up certain facts and prevent others from coveting his supernatural abilities.

At present, Zheng Ya only has a superficial understanding of Lao Yuan and Wu Wei's enlightening words. He understands the principles, but he doesn't know how to guide them!

Fortunately, Zheng Ya had learned all of Lao Yuan's skills and was very familiar with how the Muchen Divine Skill worked. He immediately dared not be negligent and gave Wu Wei a guiding spiritual technique: Condensing Will into Needles, Connecting the Two Bridges of Heaven and Earth.

Wu Wei was shocked. In an instant, she grasped the key to breaking through to the Grandmaster level and realized a terrible piece of information: her father's sacrifice of his life was an enlightenment for her. If she successfully broke through the bottleneck, both of them would be safe. Otherwise, her father would die from exhaustion!

Little did she know that Zheng Ya was deliberately provoking her to unleash her potential. Wu Wei's confidence soared, and with a resolute determination to save her father's life, she exerted all her strength to condense her will into a needle, which she then used to pierce through the two bridges of heaven and earth: "Pop!"

After all her misfortunes came her way, and she successfully broke through to the Grandmaster realm.

With a "thump," Old Yuan collapsed from exhaustion, and Tian Juan held him in her arms, sobbing uncontrollably. Old Yuan weakly murmured, "Thank you!"

He knew that Zheng Ya had helped him and his daughter survive a near-death experience, thus incurring a tremendous debt of gratitude.

He knew Zheng Ya had helped because his spirit, soul, and will were far superior to Wu Wei's.

Wu Wei's inability to break through to the Grandmaster realm was entirely due to her insufficient spirit, soul, and will. If it weren't for Zheng Ya's guidance and planning, Wu Wei would have killed Lao Yuan.

Zheng Ya was very unhappy, feeling like he'd been used as someone's tool. Who was the main character anyway?

Old Yuan didn't hear Zheng Ya's reply and realized that Zheng Ya was angry. Helpless, he took out the elixir that Zheng Ya had given him and swallowed it with Tian Juan's help. His weak internal energy was relieved. He sat up and looked at Wu Wei, who was consolidating her cultivation, and sighed, "I owe her a huge favor!"

"Ah, you mean..." Tian Juan understood. In an instant, she thought of the scene where Zheng Xiaoya defeated Wu Wei. It was a match that Zheng Xiaoya was supposed to lose, but Wu Wei lost in the end.

That was Zheng Ya secretly helping Zheng Xiaoya defeat Wu Wei.

As for what methods Zheng Ya used, that remains unknown.

But it was true. Tian Juan didn't understand and didn't ask Lao Yuan why, but she wasn't stupid and figured out the key point.

In order not to embarrass Wu Wei, Tian Juan pretended not to know anything.

But at this moment, facing Lao Yuan's affirmation and confirming the fact that Zheng Ya had helped her family again, Tian Juan was overwhelmed with guilt and rambled on incoherently, feeling only that she had let Zheng Ya down!

Old Yuan didn't know how to repay Zheng Ya's kindness: "Alright, Wei'er will understand one day!"

I think Wei'er will also help us repay Zheng Ya!

"Well, I hope so!" Tian Juan felt so guilty that she longed for Zheng Ya to marry Wu Wei, as if only in this way could she repay the kindness of the Zheng family.

While consolidating her Grandmaster realm, Wu Wei gained the ability to see inward and project outward, allowing her to understand the content of the two elders' conversation. She then learned that this breakthrough was entirely thanks to Zheng Ya, and her mind was immediately in turmoil.

Am I still not as good as Zheng Ya?

Why is this happening?

How should I walk my own path?

Surpassing her own limits, surpassing her peers, surpassing the world's top cultivators, bravely scaling the broken void, and standing out from the crowd, Wu Wei began to doubt whether she had pursued the wrong goal again.

With no way to advance through the official path and having lost out to Zheng Ya in martial arts, Wu Wei is lost and doesn't know where to go from here.

Growing up in the shadow of others while chasing dreams is not the life path Wu Wei wants. Walking her own path is the ideal life.

But where is my path in life?
