Chapter 273: Chapter 28 Desiring to Guide an Old Friend!

He stepped forward, coming to stand by Liang Hui’s side.

"Hui, then Cang Tower will be under my control first," he said.

"By the way, Hui, did you make a breakthrough this time coming out of seclusion?"

Su Yao’s voice involuntarily carried a hint of curiosity.

Breaking through to the Divine Veins or the Primordial Spirit in just seven short months was undoubtedly a tall tale, but for Liang Hui, it might not be impossible.

After all, he was the Divine Emperor Your Majesty, an unparalleled hero who had dominated the world in just four short years.

Liang Hui shook his head and smiled:

"You have more confidence in me than I do in myself."

His gaze looking forward, he peered through the palace and stared at the sacred and imposing Divine Court, and continued:

"Just half a step away!"

The half-step he spoke of was truly only half a step.

Normally it would require more than a year of cultivation to achieve a breakthrough.

After absorbing the wisdom of living beings from another world, the pace of cultivation hastened significantly.

In just over seven months’ time, the Qi-Blood composed of True Qi had already spread throughout his entire body.

Additionally, with the flawless union of the three treasures of the human body—essence, qi, and spirit—he could step into the realm of the Divine Veins whenever he wished.

Reaching the ultimate realm of cultivation in this world.

"Half a step? Then I extend my congratulations in advance, Your Majesty," Su Yao said with a slight smile, issuing an invitation.

"In this period, the Divine Court has collected quite a few precious teas, let’s go and try them."

The moment Liang Hui emerged from seclusion, both the internal pressure of the Divine Court and the pressure from outside the world dissipated instantly.

As long as she was by this man’s side, there was nothing that couldn’t be solved.

Even Su Yao, a woman strong and wise, couldn’t help but fall for this feeling.

Liang Hui shook his head, his forward-looking gaze retracting.

"A great battle is imminent, I need to meet with a few old friends."

"Is it that perilous, Your Majesty?" she asked.

"We are up against a world! A world that, having unified for hundreds of years, has a cultivation system much more powerful than ours—who can be completely assured?" he explained.

He never underestimated the Demon Emperors, especially after extensively diving into dreams and compiling relevant information.

Even though Liang Hui had made various contingencies and arrangements, nobody could be certain of the outcome until the very last moment.

"Hui, no matter what, you must survive," Su Yao declared seriously, enunciating each word.

It seemed she saw the nervousness within Su Yao.

He reached out his hand and patted the woman’s shoulder.

"The world may falter, but the Divine Court shall surely endure."

Liang Hui gave his promise, just as he had once done before.

The next moment, his figure had already disappeared from that place.

In the palace, only Su Yao was left, gazing longingly at the resplendent Divine Court.

For a long time! For a very long time!

Only then did an almost imperceptible voice waft through the palace.

"Do you think, Hui, he has noticed you?"

"Who knows? His nature has always been such that nobody can guess his true intentions until the final moment," came the reply.

"Not to mention, after experiencing being hunted by the entire world in this life, his character has become even more extreme," she added with a seductive laugh echoing in Su Yao’s heart.

"He is Liang Hui, he is the Divine Emperor, he is Your Majesty, never just anyone."

"I know!" Su Yao responded.

...

In Leizhou, Yuanshui City,

Outside a secluded courtyard stood a man clad in a blue robe, his handsome features framed by the doorway.

Thump! Thump!

His hand reached out, knocking lightly on the door.

"Who is it?" came the query.

Creak!

The door opened from the inside, revealing a woman clad in a white fur robe, her cheeks rosy and features soft, not particularly beautiful.

Yet she possessed a delicate and tender quality.

"Shu Yu, it’s been a long time," Liang Hui said softly, a smile on his face.

"Tai Yi?" she answered in surprise.

Shu Yu’s words carried a trace of uncertainty.

The man’s voice and demeanor were the same, but his face was not Tai Yi’s, although the man’s features did seem inexplicably familiar to her.

"It is I, I had to disguise myself when I was fleeing."

"Now the great enemy, all float as corpses."

Liang Hui explained in a gentle voice.

Afterwards, he pointed to the courtyard, "Let’s go in and talk."

"Mm-hmm, okay." Shu Yu nodded, stepping aside to reveal the path inside.

But her gaze remained fixed on Tai Yi’s current appearance, growing more familiar the more she observed.

Liang Hui moved forward, stepping past the woman and heading toward the stone chairs in front of the pond.

Shu Yu followed closely behind.

Suddenly, a somewhat uncertain voice came from behind.

"Divine Emperor... Your Majesty!"

Liang Hui continued walking without changing pace, sat down directly upon reaching the chair, and pointed to the seat opposite him.

"Just call me Liang Hui, or Tai Yi."

"Have a seat."

"It really is you, Tai Yi."

Shu Yu sat down across from the man with a complex expression.

"I never imagined that the Divine Emperor, who subdued the world to establish the Divine Court to bless countless beings, would be you—Tai Yi."

"Thank you! In the end, you chose the world."

"I didn’t choose the world, but rather I chose old friends, companions, confidants, and fellow Daoists."

Liang Hui gestured with his palm, and two cups of steaming tea appeared on the stone table.

He picked up one cup and took a sip.

"I came this time to invite you to join the Divine Court."

"Uncle Shu is getting old, and being in the Divine Court will surely allow him to live longer, even eternally."

Shu Yu reached out with her hand, rubbing the teacup, her eyes growing serious.

"You saved me on that rainy night, crushed the Chen Family, and have already helped me a lot."

"My father’s legs and my own frailty have also been cured; to live a normal life to its end is enough for me."

Liang Hui drained the tea in his palm in one gulp, watching the woman’s resolute expression with a slight frown between his brows.

"You once said you would wait by the roadside for me to reach the end of the path, and now that I am about to reach the end of this life, I have come back to lead old friends, only to have you leave."

"You are a dragon above the Ninth Heaven, while I am merely a raindrop falling from the sky."

"Random meetings and intersections are destined to part, and the one to walk forward with you will not be me."

Shu Yu picked up her teacup, took a sip, and then slowly set it down.

"I can take the rain with me..."

"Tai Yi, it would be very tiring, and you’re already tired enough."

"Carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders!"

The woman shook her head, interrupting Liang Hui with a seriousness she had never shown before.

"This is my choice, just like the rain is born in the sky and falls to the ground, the journey in between is my life."

Liang Hui looked at the woman with determination.

Their gazes locked.

For a long time! For a long time!

A wry smile appeared on Liang Hui’s face.

"I respect your choice."

In the next moment, his hand suddenly reached out, touching Shu Yu’s forehead.

To her surprise, Liang Hui withdrew his hand.

A green lotus mark appeared between the woman’s eyebrows.

Liang Hui began to explain, "Free from illness, free from disasters, you will live the life you hope for."

Liang Hui poured himself another cup of tea and raised it towards Shu Yu.

The woman did the same, lifting her cup forward.

Clink!

"I wish you, eternal victory!"

Shu Yu drained her teacup, a breeze blowing through her hair, her gentle face taking on a carefree air.

"Eternal victory! Farewell!"

Liang Hui chuckled, also finishing the tea in his cup.
