Chapter 4
Although Luo Hengzhi did not know what the Heavenly Dao Mark was, it was clear that it was related to his leg injury.
Luo Hengzhi's gaze kept shifting to Ye Zi, hoping to hear Ye Zi's thoughts.
But this time, Luo Hengzhi heard nothing.
Luo Hengzhi began to sense that something was wrong, and even began to doubt her inner voice.
At the old house, when Ye Zi touched his leg, her expression was normal, and he didn't hear any of her thoughts about his leg injury.
Now, Ye Zi suddenly says something's wrong with his leg. Could it be that all of this is a conspiracy by cultivators?
Even his ability to hear her thoughts—was that something Ye Zi did on purpose?
At this moment, Luo Hengzhi felt a turmoil she had never experienced before.
Luo Hengzhi dug his fingertips into his palm, forcing himself to calm down; he couldn't afford to lose his composure.
Master Yunqing looked at Luo Hengzhi, scanning him from top to bottom. Sure enough, he saw a faint trace of the Heavenly Dao on Luo Hengzhi's knee.
It's easy to overlook if you don't look closely.
Fortunately, the spirit sword was Ye Zi's natal magic weapon, belonging to a high-grade immortal item, so any mark on the spirit sword could not be hidden.
So when Luo Hengzhi sat on the spirit sword, Ye Zi noticed the abnormality in Luo Hengzhi.
Master Yunqing extended two fingers and touched Luo Hengzhi's brow.
"The meridians in the legs are closed, yet there is no damage?"
Luo Heng was completely bewildered. Her meridians were closed without any damage? She couldn't understand. She could only write it down for now.
When Master Yunqing looked at Luo Heng again, his eyes held a hint of scrutiny.
He also realized that Luo Hengzhi's lifespan had ended and she should no longer be alive in this world.
Yunqing Zhenren initially thought that Luo Heng's strong fate was the reason she escaped the car accident, and that there were many people with such strong fates in the world, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
Unexpectedly, such power exists, capable of resisting the laws of Heaven for Luo Hengzhi, and keeping Luo Hengzhi, whom Heaven intended to eliminate, alive in this world!
Moreover, the remnants of the Heavenly Dao's imprint indicate that the Heavenly Dao was in a weak position at the time, to the point that even the imprint could not be completely erased!
A power that even the Heavenly Dao fears! What exactly is this power?
Furthermore, why did this power specifically leave Luo Hengzhi behind?
This... Luo Hengzhi is no ordinary person! Master Yunqing couldn't help but sigh inwardly!
What shocked Master Yunqing even more was Luo Hengzhi's physique. Master Yunqing couldn't see through it at all. It was neither a mortal physique nor a celestial physique. It was something he had never seen before!
However, Master Yunqing did not dwell on this. He believed that being able to resist the will of Heaven was not a bad thing.
After all, Heaven had deliberately suppressed his disciple's cultivation for so many years.
It is only right that Heaven should also experience the taste of being suppressed!
Master Yunqing looked at Luo Hengzhi with an increasingly amiable gaze.
Indeed, his appearance is a good match for his disciple.
Its physique is also excellent, with an undetectable constitution, and it can resist the laws of nature; it is definitely a treasure.
He also possessed a remarkable character. When faced with life-or-death calamities and the loss of loved ones, he not only did not succumb to despair but also chose to endure and plan prudently.
Not bad, not bad at all, no wonder his disciple chose his Daoist partner!
Master Yunqing did not say much, but said to Ye Zi and Luo Hengzhi, "Today, I will establish a Daoist couple contract for the two of you."
If you listen closely, the usually composed Master Yunqing's tone sounded slightly urgent.
His disciple's emotional tribulation could not be delayed. Now that he had encountered a physique capable of resisting the will of Heaven, he could not let him go.
As Master Yunqing spoke, he released his natal magic weapon, the Cloud Cauldron.
In the blink of an eye, Yun Ding flew between Ye Zi and Luo Heng, drawing out a wisp of white light from between their brows. This white light was soul blood.
Two streaks of white light intertwined and merged above the cloud cauldron, transforming into the phantoms of a flying dragon and a golden phoenix. The cries of the dragon and the phoenix pierced the sky, and finally, the dragon and phoenix Daoist Couple Seal dissipated into the world.
When Master Yunqing saw the Dragon and Phoenix Seal, he was both surprised and delighted. Luo Heng's physique was indeed extraordinary, as she was able to summon the Dragon and Phoenix Seal.
Legend has it that the Dragon and Phoenix Seal has descended upon the world and can change the course of history!
It seems the world is about to change!
A thousand years ago, cultivators, regardless of their cultivation level, were slaughtered overnight!
As a survivor, Master Yunqing watched helplessly as his master and fellow disciples turned to ashes without warning.
Of the entire Lingju Sect, only True Person Yunqing remained.
Although Master Yunqing did not die, his cultivation level plummeted. His peak Nascent Soul stage cultivation level dropped to the early Nascent Soul stage overnight, and his 5000-year lifespan was reduced to only 1200 years.
For a thousand years, Master Yunqing searched far and wide but never saw a cultivator reappear in the world. The glory of his sect and the camaraderie among his disciples became increasingly blurred, as if they were just a dream of his own.
It wasn't until 20 years ago, two years before Ye Zi was born, that Yun Qingzhen deduced that a celestial being would descend to earth.
Ye Zi's appearance broke his thousand-year-long solitude, and from then on, his world had a shared voice again.
In the following years, more immortal beings descended to earth one after another, namely Ye Zi's three junior brothers.
Master Yunqing excitedly patted Luo Hengzhi on the shoulder, his face beaming with joy. He was increasingly pleased with this son-in-law!
The deadly love tribulation that Heaven has placed upon his disciple may offer a turning point!
After the Dragon and Phoenix Seal dissipated, Ye Zi saw that her and Luo Hengzhi's auras were connected, and the two were bound by fate.
Upon closer inspection, Ye Zi's eyes widened, for she also noticed that both of their luck was rising.
Ye Zi has been suppressed by the Heavenly Dao since birth. Her luck has never risen, and it's already good that it's not negative. When has it ever risen like this?
Luo Hengzhi was completely bewildered.
Luo Hengzhi is reviewing what just happened and wants to know exactly what happened.
He was thinking about the complete closure of his meridians when he heard about the Dao Companion Contract. He thought that this Dao Companion Contract and the Heavenly Dao Imprint from earlier sounded somewhat like the same kind of thing.
He wanted to ask what a Daoist partner contract was, but before he could even open his mouth, he saw a glowing jar floating in front of him.
Before I could even see the exact shape of the jar, I was greeted by a spectacular sight of dragons and phoenixes flying everywhere.
In this world, who has ever seen a dragon? Even Luo Hengzhi, who saw a dragon and phoenix in the sky, found it extremely rare.
While he was still marveling at the dragon soaring in the sky, so majestic and awe-inspiring, he saw a large, bright seal flying towards him and slamming into the top of his head.
That almost got him killed!
Luo Hengzhi held his head, his head still buzzing, as if a bell was ringing inside it.
Helpless, wanting to cry, these cultivators are always bullying people like this!
Luo Hengzhi still wanted to proceed slowly, to launch a counterattack, and to watch the cultivators make a spectacle of themselves! Now, let alone resist, Luo Hengzhi couldn't even react in time.
Luo Hengzhi prided himself on being a genius and never doubted himself; even the car accident couldn't destroy him. But this time, he admitted he was devastated.
Luo Yi looked at his dejected boss and was a little worried. Although his boss often pretended to be pitiful at the old house, he knew that this time his boss was not faking it.
He had only watched from the sidelines, and he was so shocked that he questioned the meaning of life.
His boss experienced it firsthand, so the blow must have been even greater. After all, the boss, who was always in control, could only passively endure it now, without any power to resist. The boss must be questioning his life this time.
"Brother-in-law, this is what Master prepared for you." The junior brother walked up to Luo Hengzhi carrying a pair of ordinary black boots.
The tolling in Luo Hengzhi's head finally subsided, and she looked up to meet three pairs of bright, watery eyes staring at her with smiles.
"Hello, Senior Brother-in-law!" The three junior brothers greeted Luo Hengzhi in unison.
"Yes, the three junior brothers are very sensible, not bad." Ye Zi nodded with satisfaction from the side.
Luo Hengzhi finally heard Ye Zi's thoughts again. What's the use of having thoughts when they shouldn't be there?
"Brother-in-law, not bad, what kind of address is that?!" Luo Hengzhi just wanted some peace and quiet! She simply slumped back in her wheelchair and gave up.
"Brother-in-law, don't just stand there, put them on quickly. Once you put them on, you'll be able to walk freely, move like the wind, and fly through the air," the eldest disciple urged, placing the boots on the ground.
"Really, Senior Brother-in-law, hurry up and wear it! It can fly! Master specially crafted it for you!" The little junior brother tugged at Luo Hengzhi's sleeve, urging her in a childish voice.
The words "freedom to walk" struck a chord with Luo Hengzhi, snapping her out of her slump and bringing her back to her senses.
"Freedom to walk?" Luo Hengzhi couldn't resist. Ever since he was crippled, he had dreamed of standing up again.
"Yes, you'll know when my brother-in-law puts it on," the junior brothers said in unison.
Luo Hengzhi nodded. Regardless of what other schemes these cultivators might have, he was going to stand up first.
Luo Yi quickly squatted down, took off his boss's shoes, and put the boots on him.
"Boss, can you feel anything? Let me help you stand up and see." Luo Yi was expectant but also a little nervous, and his voice even trembled slightly.
He witnessed firsthand how much pain his boss suffered after the incident, and he wanted to see his boss stand up again and return to his former carefree and flamboyant self, instead of being forced to endure.
As soon as Luo Hengzhi put on the boots, he noticed that they were automatically adjusting to his leg and foot shape until they fit snugly against his legs, as if they were completely replacing his original bones and supporting his body again.
Then, an even more unexpected scene unfolded before Luo Hengzhi and Luo Yi's eyes.
The shoes can also automatically change shape, constantly shortening to the ankle, turning the black boots into sneakers that were just taken off, and they really look exactly the same.
"That works too! Don't be too amazing!" Luo Yi couldn't help but exclaim.
"Brother-in-law, try standing up and flying. You can fly very high." The junior brother looked at Luo Hengzhi with expectant eyes.
There was a hint of envy in his eyes, because he had not yet reached the Foundation Establishment stage and could not fly on the air. If he wanted to fly, he could only use a flying talisman, but the time he could fly was also short, which was very annoying!
This magical artifact is different; it's a top-tier artifact crafted by my master. With a single thought, one can ride the wind and travel thousands of miles.
Luo Hengzhi was stunned for a moment. Being able to walk again was already a blessing for him, let alone fly. As soon as he thought this, his body floated up.
"Boss..." Luo Yi was startled when he saw his boss suddenly float up. He quickly reached out to grab him, but grabbed nothing. "Boss, boss!"
As Luo Hengzhi watched his body move further and further away from the ground, the insecurity brought on by being airborne left him momentarily at a loss.
Seeing the fear on Luo Hengzhi's face, Ye Zi flew to Luo Hengzhi's side, grabbed one of Luo Hengzhi's hands and lifted her up, forcibly pulling Luo Hengzhi, who was lying in mid-air, to her feet.
"Relax, just fly with your feelings." Ye Zi led Luo Hengzhi slowly into the distance, giving Luo Hengzhi time to experience the flight.
"I'm fine now, thank you." Luo Hengzhi adapted quickly, tried to break free from Ye Zi's hand, and slowly flew higher.
Sure enough, his body moved as he wished; as long as he thought about it, the boots would fly according to his will.
This feels so good! The usually sullen Luo Hengzhi now had a big smile on her face, and she was full of the energy that a young person should have.
Watching Luo Hengzhi soar freely in the air, Ye Zi smiled faintly. This is how Luo Hengzhi should grow up!
Luo Hengzhi returned to the ground and slowly descended. He tried to take a step forward, one step, two steps. He could walk. He could really walk. He could finally walk.
As Luo Hengzhi walked, her eyes reddened, and the tears in her eyes blurred her vision.
Luo Hengzhi disregarded everything else, walked up to Master Yunqing, bowed deeply, and sincerely said, "Thank you for your life-saving grace, Master!"
Master Yunqing waved his hand and said with a smile, "Since you are now Xiaoyezi's Daoist partner, you are also my disciple. From now on, you will call me Master, just like Xiaoyezi."
