Chapter 442: Relieved
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The smoke on the battlefield dissipated, but this calamity still did not.
Under the gazes of the experts and thousands of living beings, a vast and mighty undertaking was still carried out nervously.
After eighty-one days of bitter fighting, Lian Feng finally repaired most of the cracks and blocked the Heavenly Water.
Now, she only needed to close the last crack and repair the laws of order to complete this final great undertaking.
In the torrent, Lian Feng suddenly stopped and did not continue to choose to repair the last crack. She looked at the monkey that had turned into a seven-colored divine stone and felt tormented. After these 81 days of bitter battle, she could feel the pure kindness in the monkey’s heart.
!!
She hesitated. Once the Heaven Mending was completed, it would also indicate that the monkey would completely disappear in the long river of history.
His sacrifice saved everyone.
This was the action of a saint, but Lian Feng was not qualified to make a choice for the monkey. This was because in her heart, a million living beings and one living being were real lives that needed her to save.
She could not persuade herself to choose to sacrifice another innocent in order to save more people.
In the midst of her bitter sea, a blue light flowed between Lian Feng’s fingers. Her eyes were clear and filled with worry. She sighed and shook her head, saying softly, “Monkey, have you ever regretted it?”
Monkey endured all kinds of pain and torture in the Heaven and Earth Furnace.
He was hysterical as he struggled to shout, “Ever since I became a disciple, my master had once warned me that as a man, I should shoulder heavy responsibilities and make eternal contributions.
“The heavens bestowed a great responsibility on me. To be able to do my last bit of work for this world is already the highest honor that the heavens have given me.
“I have never regretted it.”
Lian Feng’s heart trembled when she heard his shocking words. The hesitation in her heart seemed to be swept away in an instant.
He wanted to be a hero.
What Lian Feng could do was do as he wished. Achieve him, and also herself. However, on second thought, this was too cruel to him.
Lian Feng secretly felt bitter. She had long guessed that Monkey was Ye Qiu’s disciple. He… was also her disciple. The torture in her heart was indescribable as she watched him suffer in the furnace of heaven and earth.
She thought to herself, “Poor monkey. We owe you. If I could choose, I would rather use my body to block this void torrent.”
Unfortunately, dreams and reality could not be crossed in the end. This was the monkey’s natural fate. She could not change it.
With a sigh, Lian Feng slowly said, “Monkey, you should have had a perfect experience after coming to this world. However, fate makes fools of people. The heavens are unfair. Do you… have any other wishes?”
Finally, she wanted to ask what else the monkey had on his mind. She was prepared to help him fulfill it.
The monkey had been corroded by the Nine Heavens Flame in the furnace. His body had long melted, and only his remnant soul was left. He was struggling to hold on. He lowered his head and didn’t say anything. He thought about it seriously and said, “Fairy, my only regret might be… not being able to show filial respect to Master.
“Fairy, if you’re lucky enough to see my master in the future, please help me apologize to him. I’ll be leaving first…”
How determined was he to say this?
Lian Feng did not refuse him. She only said, “Alright, I promise you. Can you tell me your master’s name and where he lives?”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present immediately became extremely curious.
Everyone was very curious about this monkey who had appeared out of thin air.
Who was his master?
Up until now, no one knew this secret. It was as if he had no place at all. He was like a lonely ghost, never having a home that completely belonged to him.
Many people were watching, wanting to hear Monkey personally say his background.
Monkey was shocked when he heard Lian Feng’s question. He recalled that when he first left the sect, he had promised his master. No matter what he did in the future, he could not tell anyone that he was his disciple.
Thinking of this, Monkey struggled bitterly in his heart for a moment before suddenly laughing out loud.
“Haha! Forget it, forget it… The past is just the past. Fairy… please send me on my way.”
He gave up and did not say who his master was in the end.
At this moment, Ye Qiu, who was far away on Violet Cloud Peak, suddenly opened his eyes.
“Grandmaster, what’s wrong?”
Little Mengli sat obediently beside him and asked curiously.
Ye Qiu turned around and looked at the little girl in front of him. He smiled gently and gently stroked her little head. “Grandmaster is thinking about something.”
“What is it? It must be very difficult, right?”
Little Mengli asked curiously. She had never seen her grandmaster reveal such a strange expression. Her little head thought for a moment, and she firmly believed that even someone like her grandmaster would reveal such a complicated expression.
The problem he encountered must be an especially difficult thing.
Ye Qiu slowed down and said in a low voice, “Girl, what kind of person do you think your master is?”
Facing this inexplicable question, Little Mengli thought seriously for a moment and replied honestly, “Master is an especially good person. She is the person who treats Mengli the best in this world.
“I have to work hard to become stronger. When Master is old in the future, I have to protect her and not let anyone bully her.”
A child’s heart was so pure and without so many distracting thoughts. Most of the time, she would say whatever she thought of.
Ye Qiu seemed to understand. Just like Little Mengli’s attachment and dependence on Lin Qingzhu, the pure land in the depths of Monkey’s heart was also the pure land he wanted to protect with his life.
“Hmm… Haha…”
Ye Qiu smiled bitterly at himself and looked at the serious Little Mengli. It was said that the long path to immortality was more ruthless than love.
However, Ye Qiu didn’t seem to think so. At least from the looks of it, everything he did was worth it.
“Alright, Mengli, be good. Go and play with your Martial Uncle. I still have something important to do. Let’s end today’s cultivation here.”
In the end, Ye Qiu sent Little Mengli away and closed his eyes again. He muttered, “Monkey, let your incompetent master block this calamity for you in the end.”
In an instant, he opened his Heavenly Eye. Ye Qiu’s body began to emit a terrifying vitality that gradually bloomed on Violet Cloud Peak.
A Three Lives Golden Lotus slowly flew out, emitting a dazzling light as it flew towards Shanhai Pa.s.s.
At this moment, in the Nine Heavens, after hearing the monkey’s last generous words, Lian Feng knew that he was already mentally prepared.
Unfortunately, in the end, he did not say his background or who his master was.
This regret might become a hurdle that many people could not get over.
