You are still alive.

At this moment, he seemed to be all things, and all things seemed to be him.

After opening his eyes, he detached himself from the Fusion with his surroundings.

“It seems there is still a way to go.”

Shi Jingfeng shook his head.

He turned his head to look at Chu Xinghe.

“Is it coming soon?”

Chu Xinghe nodded.

“No matter, even if you aren't ready, I have other means.”

Shi Jingfeng pondered for a moment.

“In three days, I will be able to adapt to that state.”

Chu Xinghe patted Shi Jingfeng's shoulder.

“What is your name?”

Shi Jingfeng froze.

This guy's train of thought jumped too fast.

“My name is Shi Jingfeng.”

“Right, your name is Shi Jingfeng. While you are learning, do not forget who you are.”

“Take this for now. In the next few days, someone will be deducing your whereabouts.”

“When this glows red, use that state from just now.”

Chu Xinghe waved his hand and disappeared from Shi Jingfeng's sight.

Shi Jingfeng looked at the red thread floating before his eyes.

He suddenly laughed.

“This guy is still so eccentric.”

Putting away the red thread, he likewise disappeared at the bottom of the cliff.

When Shi Jingfeng returned to Clouds Edge Cottage,

Mo Ru looked at Shi Jingfeng.

There was a strange look in his eyes.

Shi Jingfeng did not explain.

At that moment, the red thread suddenly flickered with light.

Shi Jingfeng closed his eyes.

He fused together with the surrounding heaven and earth.

Mo Ru abruptly plucked out three beard hairs.

His eyes widened.

The Realm of Unity of Heaven and Man.

A Realm even higher than the Heart Blade.

What did this fellow do when he went out?

When the flickering of the red thread vanished,

it took a good while before Shi Jingfeng withdrew from that state.

Mo Ru's throat bobbed.

“You went out for a bit, what on earth did you do to actually reach the Unity of Heaven and Man?”

Shi Jingfeng shook his head.

“It is not yet a true Unity of Heaven and Man; there is still a long way to go.”

“I've only opened the door and stepped halfway inside.”

Mo Ru opened his mouth.

Listen to that, is that even human speech?

He has no consideration for the feelings of an old man like him at all.

Shi Jingfeng looked at Mo Ru.

“Master, perhaps you should leave.”

Mo Ru froze.

This was the first time Shi Jingfeng had called him Master.

“What did you call me?”

“Master.”

Mo Ru took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in his heart.

“Before, when I asked you to call me Master, you wouldn't agree.”

Mo Ru was a bit surprised.

Shi Jingfeng lowered his head.

“I was only afraid of bringing shame to Master.”

Mo Ru fell silent.

“I know you went to the great battle in Shu Prefecture a few days ago.”

A flash of embarrassment crossed Mo Ru's face.

He hadn't expected that he still hadn't fooled this fellow.

“I just felt that guy wasn't worthy of being your Master; he didn't know how to cherish such a good Disciple.”

Shi Jingfeng did not speak, but knelt before Mo Ru.

“Disciple Shi Jingfeng pays respects to Master.”

Mo Ru instantly became nervous.

He felt even more nervous than when he had achieved a Breakthrough to the Supreme Realm.

A Disciple who had reached the Unity of Heaven and Man!

When he grows up in the future, he will definitely become a titan of his generation.

How many Supremes now cannot even reach this state of mind?

“Good Disciple, get up quickly, get up.”

“Look at you, not giving any advance notice, you've made your Master a bit flustered.”

“When I return to the clan, I will find a Supreme Artifact for you.”

Shi Jingfeng shook his head.

“Your Disciple wants nothing; so long as Master is safe and well.”

Mo Ru sighed in his heart; what a good Disciple.

“Why is the change after this trip so great?”

“I went to see him.”

Mo Ru was startled.

“That kid truly is a freak; even I cannot see through him.”

Shi Jingfeng looked at Mo Ru.

“I thought Master would ask me why I decided to take you as my Master.”

Mo Ru stroked his beard.

“Stupid boy, we haven't been together for many days, but I understand you.”

Shi Jingfeng did not pursue the question further.

“What exactly did he say to you?”

Mo Ru was truly curious.

“He took me to drink a bottle of wine, jump off a cliff once, and said one sentence: do not let me forget myself.”

Mo Ru's eyes widened.

“Just those?”

“Just those.”

Mo Ru turned his head.

“A freak, truly a freak, he cannot be judged by common logic.”

“To be able to find your current predicament and use the simplest method to help you Breakthrough.”

“It is better to teach a man how to fish than to give him a fish. To understand this at such a young age, the things this boy has experienced are far from as simple as they appear.”

Mo Ru took a deep breath.

He turned around to look at Shi Jingfeng.

“Disciple, this Clouds Edge Cottage is now yours. You are right, I must return to my clan for a trip; I'll get some good things for you then.”

Just as Mo Ru was about to leave, he paused.

“Disciple, your Master has only one requirement: stay alive.”

Shi Jingfeng was startled.

“Your Disciple knows.”

“Not ‘knows’, it is a ‘must’.”

“You are my Disciple now. If you dare to die, I will go find trouble for that kid.”

Shi Jingfeng nodded.

As Mo Ru left, the corners of his mouth curled up.

He took out a piece of jade.

“Young man, thank you. You understand him better than I do.”

“Both of us, Master and Disciple, were schemed against by you, but I like this kind of scheming. If anything happens, just give a word and I will help you.”

After speaking, he crushed the jade.

Chu Xinghe, who was still wandering around Qing Prefecture,

felt a ripple from the voice transmission jade.

After opening it, Mo Ru's words came from within.

Chu Xinghe crushed the jade after hearing them.

[Master, what have you done again?]

“When Jiang Wanyin appears, Shi Jingfeng will take my place. He was already prepared to seek death with all his heart, which is also the best way.”

“Am I not just finding someone to keep him grounded?”

“If he were bent on seeking death, wouldn't all the preparations I made be in vain?”

Chu Xinghe rubbed the space between his eyebrows.

[Shi Jingfeng is very good.]

Chu Xinghe smiled.

“Let's go, let's find the eastern emperor bell. I reckon by now, Wen Rushui should have confirmed that I am still alive.”

“The surprises are still to come.”

...In a hidden Immortal Cave in Qing Prefecture.

Wen Rushui opened her eyes.

What appeared before her eyes was a pair of eyes.

It was precisely Chu Xinghe's Immortal Demon Eyes.

This pair of eyes had already lost its luster.

In her deduction just now,

she saw clearly the scene Chu Xinghe experienced before his death.

In the end, she still hadn't clearly seen the person who had schemed against Chu Xinghe.

However, continuing the deduction,

she saw the scene of the immortal demon zither's self-immolation.

As for why she could see this scene,

she already had an idea in her heart.

These eyes had already invisibly come into contact with Chu Xinghe once.

They even resonated with that segment of the immortal demon zither's string.

When she was deducing,

she felt the zither string tied around a finger.

She was familiar with those fingers.

It was just that the person seemed to have entered the state of Unity of Heaven and Man.

It was very difficult for her to continue deducing.

“You really are still alive.”

Wen Rushui murmured.

The depths of her eyes were no longer calm,

but filled with calculation.

“That thing, I will return it to you for the time being.”

After speaking, her fingers continuously moved in a series of mudras.

A strange ripple spread out.

Wen Rushui had already disappeared from the spot.

Chu Xinghe was still in Qing Prefecture.

[Master, I have found the whereabouts of the eastern emperor bell.]

The corners of Chu Xinghe's mouth curled up.

The plan was in effect.

Even if it was deduced, one must still make a final confirmation.

[Master, are you going over now?]

[Could Wen Rushui be waiting for you to take the bait?]
