Outside the Immortal Spirit Tower, all of the students erupted into an uproar upon hearing that An Lin was going to challenge level ninety-eight.
"My God, An Lin is going to level ninety-eight? How many years has it been since something like this happened? "
"Even Wang Xuanzhan only managed to pass through level ninety-three before being forced to retreat at level ninety-four. Now, An Lin is going to jump straight to level ninety-eight?"
"Hehe, God An defeated Senior Student Wang with a single finger. Will he have a problem challenging level ninety-eight?"
"This is a battle that only happens once in a thousand years. If he wins, he might be able to break the school record!"
"To be able to witness the birth of a historic event on campus here, I feel that there is one more thing worth remembering in my life of cultivation on campus."
Many of the students were getting a little excited upon hearing this as they stared at the white-robed figure on the screen with scorching light in their eyes.
Of course, there were also some students who were spectating other battles.
For example, a group of female students were watching Xuanyuan Cheng's battle with scorching light in their eyes, even though Xuanyuan Cheng wasn't battling.
That's right, he wasn't battling yet. He was merely chatting …
A beautiful female Celestial Immortal with a crimson whip in her hand was looking at the man before her with a speechless expression.
She heaved a forlorn sigh. "Have you said enough?"
Xuanyuan Cheng shook his head. "No, Senior Shu Yu, can't you tell me how this Immortal Spirit Tower works? You must be in a lot of pain, right? "
Shu Yu's face convulsed slightly. "No, I'm very happy."
"How can you be happy? The divine intent that has been infused into the Dao Realm basically has a wisp of your consciousness attached to it, which means that this divine intent is also you, Senior! " Xuanyuan Cheng took a deep breath as a determined expression appeared on his face. "I'm a cultivator of the Dao of Myriad Spirit Taichi, so you won't be able to fool me. Senior, you've been trapped in a tower for so long. Are you really happy with a life like this? "
"I'm happy to be able to contribute to the Celestial Court," Shu Yu replied.
"No, you're not happy. I can see the confusion in your eyes," Xuanyuan Cheng replied with conviction.
Shu Yu: "… I really am."
"You're really not happy!" Xuanyuan Cheng said seriously.
Shu Yu: "…"
If it weren't for the fact that this student was handsome and that he was doing it for her own good, Shu Yu would have lashed him with her whip without a second word.
"So, what exactly do you want?" Shu Yu said weakly.
"I'm quite knowledgeable about the Dao of All Spirits. I can release you from purgatory, but I need your cooperation," Xuanyuan Cheng said seriously.
Shu Yu's eyes darkened. "Are you trying to kill me?"
Xuanyuan Cheng shook his head. "That's not it. I'm just sending you out of this world so that you can truly be liberated and return to the myriad spirits to be reincarnated once more. You're different from the ancient sages below the 80th level. If your consciousness remains here, you won't be able to truly enter the cycle of reincarnation. "
Shu Yu rolled her eyes. "So, you're f * cking trying to destroy me!"
Xuanyuan Cheng smiled and said, "Isn't it good to start a new life? A life where you can find happiness, a life where you can experience the beauty of all things. "
Sunlight streamed into the tower from outside, shining upon Xuanyuan Cheng's exquisitely handsome features. His eyes were as dazzling as the stars in the sky, and his smile was as mesmerizing as the warm spring sun.
That instant smile was so beautiful that it made people want to keep it.
Shu Yu was completely dumbstruck as she stared at the man before her.
She had wanted to say that this man was f * cking retarded.
However, she couldn't bring herself to say that after seeing such a warm and sincere smile …
Outside the Immortal Spirit Tower, all of the female fans screamed at the sight of this smile, and the coarse male voice could be heard among the screams.
"But … I've already sworn a vow to survive in the Immortal Spirit Tower as a divine intent warrior …" Shu Yu felt like her mind was in a mess.
"So what? I can still help you transcend as long as you cooperate with me."
A warm smile appeared on Xuanyuan Cheng's face as he continued, "I still think that it's unreasonable to leave the consciousness of an immortal here. Even though it would be of great help to the students of the Celestial Court, there are many better alternatives. Why sacrifice the happiness of so many revered Celestial Immortals? "
Shu Yu listened blankly. There was not a single hint of falsehood in the man's expression or tone.
She knew that he was truly looking out for her.
"I'm very weak right now, so I can only do my best to help everyone find happiness. Yes, this is only happiness in the narrow sense of the word, but as long as you agree, as long as you want to do it, then I will do my best to help you. Perhaps this is a way for me to respect life. "Xuanyuan Cheng's words struck Shu Yu's heart like a sledgehammer.
How many years had it been since she had done nothing but fight?
Aside from fighting, she could only stay on the eighty-second level every day and look out at the blue sky and white clouds in the distance.
To her, the world outside the Immortal Spirit Tower was a world that she could only dream of.
Perhaps she would continue to fight like this forever. She would continue to fight like a machine, operating in a fixed pattern until the wisp of her consciousness could no longer be contained within her divine intent …
Was she happy? For the sake of the Celestial Court, she felt like she had a responsibility.
However, it was still the same question. Was she happy?
There was a man standing before her, and instead of fighting, he was telling her that she was not happy!
This man seemed to have changed her unchanging habit of fighting as soon as they met.
Xuanyuan Cheng was like a ray of sunlight, bringing a different hue to her grey life.
"Do you want to be free? Do you want to start afresh? If you're tired of it, if you want to be free, I can help you. "Xuanyuan Cheng extended a hand toward Shu Yu, the hand that gave her the courage to make a change.
Tears welled up in Shu Yu's eyes as she stared blankly at the man before her.
Was this what it felt like to be cared for by someone? How many years had it been …
She was already dead, but she was once again experiencing what it felt like to be alive.
A vibrant smile suddenly appeared on Shu Yu's face, and it was especially vibrant and enchanting under the sunlight.
"Xuanyuan Cheng, you're such an interesting man. If I were still alive, perhaps I would pursue you instead. "The woman's voice was as gentle as a spring breeze, and it was tinged with a hint of affection.
Xuanyuan Cheng faltered upon hearing this, and his hand froze on the spot, unsure of what to do.
Was this a confession of love? How did things get to this point? How did things get so out of hand?
Right at this moment, the woman's hand had already reached out toward Xuanyuan Cheng and gripped tightly onto his hand.
She could feel the warmth emanating from the man before her, and it was a feeling that she could rely on him …
Shu Yu took a deep breath as a vibrant smile appeared on her face. "Xuanyuan Cheng, help me! I want to start afresh!"
