Ming Zhitian said, "Everyone's life is fleeting, and no one can guarantee who will survive until the end. Cherish the people around you. The most important thing is not the outcome, but the process. As long as one lives with enjoyment, one attains freedom. Those who naturally find their way are the true winners, aren't they?"
Mo Li Divine Venerable chuckled, "Young Ming, you've given this venerable a lesson."
Ming Zhitian jested, "It's alright, this lesson is free of charge."
He then looked around and asked, "By the way, Elder Mo Li, where is this place?"
Mo Li Divine Venerable replied, "This is called Flowing Colors in the Clouds. It was a secret cultivation ground for my disciple in my past life."
Ming Zhitian inquired, "Is your disciple still here?"
Mo Li Divine Venerable shook his head, "Time is too long, I don't know. It seems no one has been here for hundreds of years, and it has become a ruin."
Ming Zhitian nodded. Mo Li Divine Venerable then asked, "How is your Master Sheng?"
Ming Zhitian lowered his head, "He has already fallen."
Mo Li Divine Venerable utterly disbelieved, "Impossible. He claimed to be invincible, yet he was far beyond invincible. No one could have killed him."
Ming Zhitian explained, "He was murdered by his brother, by the one closest to him, his only recognized sworn brother."
Mo Li Divine Venerable turned serious, "Then that person must have been an immensely powerful being."
Ming Zhitian shook his head, "No, he was only at the sixth level of the Divine Luo Realm."
Mo Li Divine Venerable became even more incredulous, "Are you playing with me and insulting my intelligence?"
Ming Zhitian insisted, "It's true. I'm not lying to you. It's the absolute truth."
Mo Li Divine Venerable pressed, "So, you know who he is and where he is?"
Ming Zhitian nodded, "I do."
Mo Li Divine Venerable stated, "Although my friendship with your Master Sheng wasn't deep, we were like half-confidantes. Tell me where he is, and I'll send him to the eighteenth level of hell right now."
Ming Zhitian waved his hand, "No, I want to avenge him myself. I don't want to rely on external help."
Mo Li Divine Venerable felt a hint of admiration, "Well done. Martial Saint didn't take the wrong disciple. However, with your current strength, it will take decades to reach your enemy's realm. By then, you think he will be standing still, with his neck exposed, waiting for you to slit it?"
Ming Zhitian replied, "Decades? That's too long. I want to do it in a year."
Mo Li Divine Venerable paused for a moment, then burst into laughter, "Am I laughing at your naivety or your ignorance? Do you think you're a novice cultivator? Although you are merely at the Awakening Realm now, which is nothing, once you reach the Divine Luo Realm, you will understand how difficult it is to improve one's cultivation. Otherwise, do you think it's easy to become a powerful being?"
Ming Zhitian knew this. He had been stuck once at the bottleneck of the Awakening Realm. Now, due to his Urban Diamond Person bloodline, he required even more resources.
Mo Li Divine Venerable looked at the Divine Fire, which trembled involuntarily.
Mo Li Divine Venerable declared, "As a welcome gift, this venerable will help you refine this Divine Fire."
The Divine Fire quickly begged for mercy, "Divine Venerable, spare me! If you let me go, I will repay you in my next life by becoming your ox or horse!"
Mo Li Divine Venerable shook his head, "You are an existence that should not have been. Now, you are merely using your useful body to do something useful, rather than falling into the hands of someone with ill intentions."
The Divine Fire was rendered speechless.
Mo Li Divine Venerable helped Ming Zhitian refine the Divine Fire, integrating it into his body. It then fused with the Profound Harmony Divine Body, becoming the Divine Li Body!
Meanwhile...
Yuan Bi Long found the descendant of Xian You and, without realizing it, fell in love with her. Perhaps this was the rare phenomenon of love at first sight.
On another front, a colossal Rainbow Beast pounced! Even Yuan Qi Long, who was at the twelfth level of the Divine Luo Realm, was about to perish!
