Chapter 261: Receiving Heavenly Thunder 【 Ming Xin + Foreshadowing 】
“System… Do you know what I was thinking when I was close to death?”
Ming Zhaoshuang seemed to have completely collapsed: “I was thinking, where did I get the confidence to venture into such a dangerous situation, to make such a decision.”
“Fushuang was given by you, Shan He was given by Ming Zhaoxue, Mimi and Bai Bai followed you, and the talismans in my hand were given by Chen Xing. It seems I have nothing, no strength at all, and I… I have harmed you like this, causing Yan Ning’s cultivation to regress to the Spirit Transformation Stage again.”
For Xie Yanning, the Spirit Transformation Stage and the Body Integration Stage represented nearly two hundred years of time.
Most importantly, her Origin was damaged, and she might be sickly and thin for the rest of her life, transforming from a spirited youth into a sickly person.
She was sorry to Feng He, sorry to Sang Biao, and sorry to Xie Yanning.
Ming Zhaoshuang’s cheeks warmed, as if someone had gently stroked her cheek, bringing a sense of peace.
“But when I looked back, I found that I only had that one path left.”
The choice she made at that time was absolutely not wrong.
And she was willing to bear the consequences of her choice, but found that the consequences were far more severe than she had anticipated.
If Feng Budu hadn’t come, she wouldn’t have been able to bear it at all.
Ming Zhaoshuang buried her head in her arms, her voice tinged with helplessness: “System, Honored Master… I really don’t think I did anything wrong, but I don’t know what the right thing to do is. At that time, I couldn’t refuse the Nine-Orifice Lotus Root Silk.”
Ming Zhaoshuang began to choke back sobs.
“I was ignorant, arrogant, and I also liked to court death, but I felt that I wasn’t wrong at that time. They all say that cultivating the Dao is about seeing the heart, seeing true nature, and seeing all living beings, but I still can’t even see myself now, how can I see all living beings and heaven and earth.”
She didn’t think youthful impetuosity was wrong, nor did she think being reckless was wrong. This was her disposition, this was her self. But if she could only protect others by abandoning her self, then she felt she couldn’t do it.
She couldn’t abandon her self.
The most she could do was prevent Xie Yanning and Qin Feilong from following her into danger, but those two couldn’t abandon their selves either and watch her venture into danger alone.
“I didn’t do anything wrong.”
Finally, Ming Zhaoshuang said this through tears.
In a daze, Ming Zhaoshuang seemed to hear Feng He’s voice, telling her this.
“If you did nothing wrong, then… continue to walk forward.”
It was ethereal and indistinct.
However, upon hearing this, Ming Zhaoshuang suddenly burst into tears, a mixture of oppression and pain, but also of release and exhilaration.
If you feel you did nothing wrong, then continue to walk this way.
Guard your true heart, insist on your self.
This is you.
Don’t be afraid of the stumbles along the way; even if you are bleeding, we will always be behind you, supporting you, covering for you, allowing you to always be the most spirited version of yourself.
“System… I won’t let you sleep for too long… I will take responsibility for my choices, and I won’t always let you clean up my messes.”
Ming Zhaoshuang wiped her face, as if she had seen something clearly:
“After thinking about it, the only mistake I think I made is that I am not strong enough, not powerful enough. If I could be like Senior Sister, unstoppable in the world, unoffendable in the Six Realms, then no one in this world could have forced me into that situation, and no one could have harmed you to this extent.”
“Honored Master, please believe me, choosing me was not wrong, and it will never be wrong.”
I will not only ascend to become an immortal, but I will also slay heaven with a sword and seal gods with a brush.
I will become your most proud existence.
With that said, Ming Zhaoshuang walked out of the sea of consciousness, her back as straight as a solitary plum tree in winter, proud against the snow and frost, exuding a chilling aura.
Bai Bai was still outside mending Ming Zhaoxue’s divine soul. Seeing her open her eyes, he was surprised:
“Did you, have another enlightenment?”
The significant increase in soul power was a bit outrageous.
Bai Bai considered his own cultivation to be not great, but in terms of divine souls, he could be said to be unrivaled in the world. However, people like Ming Zhaoshuang, who achieved enlightenment so frequently, made him feel inferior.
No, who told you that soul power cultivation can rely on enlightenment to break through like this.
With Ming Zhaoshuang’s current situation, she could break through to the Bright Soul Realm in at most three to five years. At that time, no matter how poor her spiritual power cultivation was, her soul power cultivation would definitely be noteworthy.
Ming Zhaoshuang did not realize it; after a slight perception, she discovered that her soul power had indeed increased significantly.
She said, “Perhaps, I just figured some things out.”
In this era where the strong reign supreme, her main goal was to become stronger, constantly stronger, stronger than everyone else, even stronger than the Heavenly Dao.
Only then could she truly obtain her self and truly protect everyone she wanted to protect.
Bai Bai said, “It was indeed a bit dangerous in the Demon Realm this time, but your harvest was even greater, wasn’t it? Don’t be sad, wash your face and go to sleep quickly. The sun will rise tomorrow, it will be the same.”
His words made Ming Zhaoshuang start laughing.
“Bai Bai, do you know that you are particularly bad at comforting people?”
Bai Bai: “…”
He was just bored. Seeing that Ming Zhaoshuang was still crying, he casually said a few words. According to his nature, he wouldn’t really care what Ming Zhaoshuang was crying about.
Perhaps he was influenced by Feng He and couldn’t stand seeing others cry.
Ming Zhaoshuang said, “I’m not sad, I’m very happy to have met Feng He, to have met you all.”
She was far more powerful and resilient than they imagined.
She would not stop here, would not doubt herself.
She believed that Feng He and the others’ choices were not wrong, and she also believed that she would not make Feng He and the others’ choices wrong.
Bai Bai had learned his lesson this time and directly told her impolitely, “Why be so sentimental, it’s so cheesy.”
Ming Zhaoshuang: “…”
She was also bored, discussing this with this heartless spiritual beast in the middle of the night.
Bai Bai wagged his two tails and said to Ming Zhaoshuang, “Ming Zhaoxue’s divine soul is mostly filled. You just need to feed him more pills in the future. When he can wake up depends on himself. Anyway, don’t bother yourself for these two days, sleeping more is definitely the right thing to do, resting is also good.”
“Okay,” Ming Zhaoshuang replied, then controlled her sword and went directly to the communication stone of the Ao Tian Sect, and directly slapped a Teleportation Charm onto it.
“Hello everyone, Senior Brothers and Sisters of the Ao Tian Sect! I am Ming Zhaoshuang from the Ming Family, and I am here to inform everyone of something.”
“The weather changes, but our service remains unchanged; the seasons change, but our attitude remains unchanged; the times change, but our quality remains unchanged; no matter how the world changes, my sincerity will always remain unchanged.”
“Sincerely accept heavenly lightning, accept all kinds of heavenly lightning, accept unwanted heavenly lightning, accept heavenly lightning that kills people.”
“From Foundation Establishment breaking through to Golden Core, to Nascent Soul entering Spirit Transformation, there is nothing you dare not withstand that I dare not accept. Your heavenly lightning is my home, and my cultivation is for everyone to share. I have placed Teleportation Charms and Communication Talismans here. I hope everyone will notify me promptly when they encounter heavenly lightning. I will arrive in a timely manner, accept it promptly, and ensure that all fellow Daoists can break through steadily, leaving only satisfaction.”
Saying this, Ming Zhaoshuang placed all the Teleportation Charms and Communication Talismans she usually carried beside the communication tower.
She also took out the Mountain River Brush and boldly began drawing talismans nearby.
Bai Bai: “…”
Didn’t we agree not to cause trouble?
