Start with perfection: the magic gourd reaches the sky!

Chapter 81, Cultivating the Tao is without regrets, living a fulfilling life!

Sect Leader Peak!
This is the most majestic mountain in the Xuantian Holy Sect, towering into the clouds, with solemn and dignified buildings on it without excessive ornamentation.

Even the white marble steps leading up the mountain exude a unique sense of majesty.

brush!
A rainbow of light descended from afar onto the summit of the Sect Leader Peak. Not far away lay the core of the Xuan Tian Holy Sect, the majestic Sect Leader Hall.

After landing, Shi Yu saw that someone was already waiting there. Upon seeing this, Shi Yu exclaimed in surprise, "Sect Leader?! What are you doing here?"

The person waiting was none other than the handsome and valiant head coach, Xi Yingqing.

Xi Yingqing, with his refined and approachable demeanor, smiled and said, "Come and see the future of my Holy Sect."

As he spoke, Xi Yingqing laughed heartily again and said, "Speaking of which, I am also your senior uncle. In fact, I originally intended to take you two under my wing when the Martial Saint Pavilion was in business."

After hearing your words, I chose to give up. However, your talent has exceeded my expectations, making me somewhat regretful that I didn't use my privilege as the sect leader to take you under my wing.

As Xi Yingqing spoke, a slight look of regret appeared on her face, but then she smiled and said, "However, after seeing everything you have done for the Holy Sect, I realize that whether you become my disciple or not is no longer important."

"The Holy Sect has treated us well, so naturally we will repay the Holy Sect with sincerity." Shi Yu chuckled and shook his head, earnestly explaining his reasons.

“Yes! It’s easy to say it’s true, but it’s hard to do it…” Xi Yingqing said with deep emotion, his gaze deep as if recalling a past event. It took him a moment to come back to his senses and look at Shi Yu with excitement and relief in his eyes: “It’s hard to be sincere, especially since you have played the role of leaders.”

"This is something I've always wanted to accomplish, but I haven't been able to! You've done it, giving the Holy Sect a fresh new life, which makes me see the Holy Sect's golden age coming soon."

Shi Yu smiled; being recognized by others is itself a form of emotional value.

“We didn’t expect things to turn out this way, but the outcome is always unexpected. It’s good that the teachings of the Holy Spirit are still there; the goodwill in most people’s hearts has never been eroded by malice,” Shi Yu said.

“Yes! Everyone has good intentions in their hearts, but being able to inspire them and bring them together is your skill.” Xi Yingqing praised with refined elegance.

The two chatted casually about ordinary topics, without mentioning any major events of the Holy Sect or any urgent tasks.

After chatting for a long time, Xi Yingqing suddenly looked at Shi Yu seriously and said, "Daocheng, your talent and strength are now evident to all in the Xuanming Yuan Realm. Are you willing to take on the heavy responsibility in my hands and shoulder the burden of the Holy Sect?"

Shi Yu showed gratitude and clasped his hands in a fist to Xi Yingqing, saying sincerely, "Thank you for your recognition, Sect Leader, but my ambition is not to educate the Holy Sect. On the contrary, Zichuan's talent is no less than mine, and his future is also very bright."

"As for me, I can serve as a protector. With my strength, protecting the entire Holy Sect is not a problem."

Xi Yingqing was slightly surprised and disappointed when Shi Yu refused, but when she heard Shi Yu recommend Jiangnan, a thoughtful look appeared on her face.

However, Xi Yingqing quickly regained his composure, became serious, and asked sincerely, "Daocheng, can you tell me the truth, is it possible for you to deal with the Supreme Ancestor now?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Yu made no attempt to hide his feelings, calmly nodding and softly uttering the word that Xi Yingqing had been longing for: "Yes."

"Alright! Then I, your senior uncle, can put down this burden and go about my business!"

Xi Yingqing felt as if a huge mountain had been lifted off her shoulders, and her expression relaxed instantly, making the whole atmosphere much more relaxed.

Upon hearing his words, Shi Yu thought of Xi Yingqing's vow and the agreement with the Grand Ancestor, and couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Master Master, are you going to fight against the Supreme Ancestor?" Shi Yu looked at Xi Yingqing seriously. Xi Yingqing made no attempt to hide her feelings, a gentle smile on her face, her eyes clear yet filled with tenderness.

"That's right!" Xi Yingqing said solemnly and forcefully.

"Is it absolutely necessary to go? Why not stay? With your disciple here, Master Uncle, why don't you wait until you are confident before going to fight that Supreme Ancestor!" Shi Yu was moved and tried to persuade him to stay.

Xi Yingqing smiled faintly and shook her head, her eyes filled with a terrifying determination: "If it weren't for you, I would find a way to delay time so that I could get to that point."

"but!"

The light in Xi Yingqing's eyes suddenly became dazzling, a burning emotion as bright as the sun, mixed with a deep hatred and obsession!
Xi Yingqing looked at Shi Yu, clenching his fists so tightly that his fingernails pierced his palms, but he was oblivious. At this moment, Xi Yingqing showed Shi Yu his most authentic self.

Xi Yingqing calmed down, but her calmness was tinged with a world-destroying rage: "Now that I have you, I don't want to wait anymore! I'm unwilling to wait any longer!"

"I've been waiting for so long! The fire in my heart is almost burning me out!"

"Back then, my master risked his life to injure the Supreme Ancestor for the sake of the Holy Sect and for me, just to buy me time. Now that the Holy Sect has you all, time is no longer of any use, and I no longer need to wait. It is time for me to settle this old score!"

At this moment, Shi Yu empathized with Xi Yingqing's obsession and emotions. However, having traversed countless worlds and possessing such terrifying power, he chose to make up for those disappointing regrets.

Upon learning of Xi Yingqing's choice, Ziran quickly said, "But, but don't you still like the Grand Ancestor's daughter?!"

Xi Yingqing was slightly surprised, then a struggle flashed in his eyes, but in the end he sighed and a tear glistened in his eye as he said in a deep voice, "I will serve as the leader of the Holy Sect first, and then as Xi Yingqing!"

After saying that, Xi Yingqing turned his back to Shi Yu and said, "You don't need to try to dissuade me anymore. There's no way to change this matter. From now on, I'll entrust the Holy Emperor to you."

Upon hearing this, Shi Yu sighed. Which cultivator is without attachments? And which cultivator who has reached this level can have their decisions easily influenced and changed by others?

Not to mention, the headmaster Xi Yingqing cultivates the path of utmost emotion and nature. Asking him to give up the duel with the Supreme Ancestor would undoubtedly sever Xi Yingqing's path.

At this point, Shi Yu didn't know how to dissuade him, so he could only try to retrieve Xi Yingqing's primordial spirit and soul as soon as possible after the duel.

Actually, Shi Yu admires Xi Yingqing. Although he seems silly, he is very persistent.

However, it possesses an immense charm like the sun, constantly shining and inspiring others.

But Shi Yu didn't know that he was actually that kind of person too.

With the help of Liu Shen, the magic gourd, Shi Cun, and other influential figures, Shi Yu's well-developed correct values ​​had already begun to emerge.

He was able to catch the eye of the Willow God precisely because he was equally sincere and genuine.

Perhaps it is because people of the same kind always cherish each other that others find it difficult to feel the genuine emotions they evoke.

I thought the world should be filled with falsehood and deceit, that's the true essence of life. But the truth is always the simplest and most fundamental. It's like the Great Way; it contains everything, yet it is everything at the same time…
