Chapter 431 - Chapter 431: 431 Congratulations to Master Gu (2/2)

The saying goes, “To learn the Way in the morning, one can die in the evening with no regrets.”

After Wu Er gained insight into the Way of the Celestial Being, he suddenly realized that his death was drawing near.

He didn’t want to let Gu Yang and Ling Ling know, to make them worried, so he tried to drive Gu Yang away to prevent him from finding out.

What he mentioned was just a small wish.

As for revenge, even if he didn’t mention it, Gu Yang would do it. There was no need to unnecessarily remind him.

…

In fact, after Gu Yang broke through to the Celestial Being realm, he hadn’t met with Wu Er again.

Seeing him now, he noticed something amiss with Wu Er. His life force was even weaker than that of the dried corpse below the imperial palace and it could extinguish at any moment.

His original source was almost drained, like a living dead, purely supported by the power of his Original Spirit.

However, he was about to run out of strength.

Red Moon Great Saint!

Gu Yang knew that the one who made a move against Wu Er was the Red Moon Great Saint.

If the two were at the same level and Wu Er lost, it’s because his skills were inferior. But the Red Moon Great Saint bullied the weak, which was intolerable.

He figured out Wu Er’s mindset and asked, “Don’t you want to take revenge on your own? You were once Wu Shengtian, as famous as Qin Wu. None could withstand even three strokes of your ‘Nine Heavenly Questions’. So, are you content to fade away and let others avenge you?”

Gao Fan, who was beside him, understood the unspoken words. He suddenly turned to look at Wu Er, his expression mixied with surprise and sadness.

These two old guys had been hanging out together recently. They naturally felt sad when they suddenly heard about Wu Er’s terrible condition.

Wu Er glared at him and sighed, “Life and death are predestined. You brat, why must you point it out? Can’t you let me die in peace?”

Gu Yang said, “Although you are seriously injured, there is still a slim chance of survival. I’ll just ask you, do you want to live? Do you want to breakthrough to the Celestial Being realm to take revenge against the Red Moon Great Saint, Lord Chi Ming, and those who annihilated the Wu Family yourself?”

Wu Er was first taken aback, then his somewhat muddy eyes became sharp.

Who wouldn’t want that?

He was once acknowledged as a peerless genius, an equal to Qin Wu. He was proud and arrogant, and only respected a few in the world.

But after this great disaster, he became neither human nor ghost, and all his ambitions had long been worn away.

This was all fate.

If anyone else said these words, he wouldn’t care.

But the one who said this was Gu Yang. This kid repeatedly broke common sense and people’s understanding, doing things that were totally impossible.

He was an anomaly.

He said there was a glimmer of hope, maybe there really was a glimmer of hope.

In Wu Er’s throbbing heart, he finally regained some of his past vigor as Wu Shengtian.

He said solemnly, “I want to!”

“Good!”

Gu Yang took out a jade box from the Beast-taming Space, “This is a flat peach, a Heaven and Earth Spirit Root that grew in the Yao Chi Immortal Palace. Eating one can prolong one’s life by a thousand years, or allow a mortal to become an immortal instantly.”

A flat peach?

Both Wu Er and Gao Fan were shocked. They were born into high-ranking families, so they naturally knew what a flat peach was.

Gao Fan suddenly remembered something, “The five Celestial Beings were after this at first, right?”

Five Celestial Beings went all out chasing after this, even coming to siege Wen Yuan. This showed how valuable it was.

Gu Yang actually took it out for Wu Er.

“Yes, I got a flat peach at the Yaochi Conference back then. They wanted to snatch it from me. With this, your depleted original source can be replenished, and you can recover to your peak state.”

As Gu Yang spoke, he had already opened the box. A refreshing fragrance immediately filled the room.

However, a look of struggle and hesitation flashed in Wu Er’s eyes at this moment.

Without saying a word, he used his mana to pick up the flat peach and forcefully shoved it into Wu Er’s mouth.

PS: You might not believe this, but I forgot a place name yesterday. When I was skimming through the previous chapters to find it, I accidentally ended up reading all the chapters until noon…
