"How long can you maintain this state?" I asked.
"I don't know..." Chen Feifei said with a smile, "In short, you don't need to worry about so much. Just do what you need to do, and don't bother with the rest!"
"Tell me!" I said earnestly, "Masters, tell me!"
They all shook their heads and remained silent.
"I know what you're thinking, but I really want to know how long you can hold on!" I said sincerely.
"You really don't need to know..." Zhou Ran said.
"Will you disappear as soon as I leave this place?" I stared at them and asked.
Chen Feifei looked at me, a hint of reluctance in her eyes: "Our mission is complete, everything we needed to do is done. We have no regrets..."
"So, I was right?" I asked.
Chen Feifei glanced at me, hesitated for a long time, and then nodded.
"Do you have any way to recover your state?" I asked.
"There's no way. This is our destiny!" Zhou Ran smiled, "This is the path destined for us. We must walk it and face it... Moreover, we are very content now!"
"Yes, being able to contribute something to our disciple is an extremely honorable thing for us. Although we won't see that moment, I believe you definitely can!"
"I also believe in you. My disciple can never be ordinary, nor can they lose for no reason!"
"No matter what, I hope you can stay safe. Although I know this thought is a bit selfish, I still hope you can live a more peaceful life..."
The masters spoke one after another, their voices full of joy.
"No, there must be a way!" I said in a deep voice.
"There is no way!" Chen Feifei's tone was firm.
"Cultivation is inherently going against the heavens. I never thought I could accept the arrangement of fate!" I looked up at them, "As long as I want to do it, there's nothing I can't achieve!"
"You..." Chen Feifei paused, then smiled, "I believe in your determination and your courage, but there is no room for maneuver in this matter..."
"I refuse to believe it!" I looked at them, "There must be a solution to this. You have been able to survive until now because of the energy supporting you. Without that energy, you would have likely dissipated long ago..."
"And the reason you are like this now is also because of excessive energy consumption!" I said, "So, as long as we can replenish your energy, you can return to your previous state!"
"Lu Ziye, don't do anything foolish!" Zhou Ran said sternly.
"I'm just thinking. Why are you so nervous?" A smile appeared on my face, "It seems I was right. This is not an unsolvable problem, but one with a solution!"
"You should focus on your own matters. If you consider us your masters, don't think so much!" Chen Feifei said.
"I apologize, but your disciple will have to disobey." I said, and with a wave of my hand, the Water of Life surged out again, heading towards Chen Feifei.
Chen Feifei's expression changed, and she dodged: "Don't do something so meaningless!"
But unfortunately, my strength had already surpassed theirs. Even if she wanted to dodge, she couldn't.
The Water of Life directly flowed into Chen Feifei's body. Chen Feifei paused: "Lu Ziye, you..." httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
"It was indeed the right approach!" I said with a smile. Although the effect was very weak, I could clearly feel that Chen Feifei's soul seemed to have recovered slightly.
"Really, don't do this. You need to conserve enough strength!" Chen Feifei said, "The Water of Life you left is enough for us! We can slowly recover with the Water of Life!"
"It's too slow, and that Water of Life is your energy!" I said, "Since the Water of Life is effective, it means it's not beyond hope. But the effect of the Water of Life is too weak..."
"It's enough!" Zhou Ran said.
"No..." I shook my head, "If the Water of Life is too weak, then what about the main body of the Tree of Life?"
"Lu Ziye! I've had enough!" Chen Feifei roared, "Do you know why we did all this? So you could have more power, so you could defeat the Heavenly Dao! If you waste your own strength on these trivial matters, all our efforts will be in vain!"
"Don't worry, I'll understand everything at that time!" I said with a smile, "Unfortunately, you've taught me everything you know. Now you can't control me anymore!"
As I spoke, I clenched my hand. The tattoo on my chest instantly disappeared, and the complete Tree of Life appeared in my palm.
I reached out and plucked a section from the Tree of Life.
"If you do this, we'd rather die!" Zhou Ran said.
"Let me be willful this once!" I said, "Even if it means you can witness the demise of the Heavenly Dao!"
As I spoke, I quickly plucked branch after branch from the Tree of Life and shot them directly into all my masters' bodies.
The moment the Tree of Life entered their bodies, immense power surged forth.
Their souls, which had become almost transparent, now became incredibly solid, even more powerful than before.
"This is great!" I said with a smile, "I only consumed a branch of the Tree of Life to achieve this. It's so worth it..."
"Lu Ziye... you..." Chen Feifei sighed, "I knew it, you brat..."
"Don't worry, I still have time. The branches of this Tree of Life can grow back!" I said with a smile, "I don't need you to do anything, but you've worked so hard and sacrificed so much before. Don't you want to witness the demise of the Heavenly Dao with your own eyes?"
"Lu Ziye..." Zhou Ran slowly exhaled, "I understand!"
"Lu Ziye... Carry the Soul Suppressing Tablet with you. Since you've gone this far, we will witness the demise of the Heavenly Dao!" Chen Feifei said.
"Alright!" I nodded and then left the Soul Suppressing Tablet directly.
As soon as I came out, I saw Lin Chun and the others practicing near the Soul Suppressing Tablet.
Seeing me emerge, everyone stood up in unison: "Brother Lu!"
"Long time no see!" I said with a smile, "I've found the Heavenly Dao's slumbering place. Next, we'll depart together..."
"To crusade against the Heavenly Dao!"
