Chapter 1269: A Difficult Decision

“It’s very simple.”

Wang Zhan snapped his fingers, then pointed to the distant waterfall.

Back then, he practiced within that waterfall, his strength increased rapidly, and all these memories are ingrained within him.

After hesitating for a moment, Wang Zhan spoke again: “You can completely immerse yourself in this waterfall, allowing the river water to continuously impact your body. This can help you quickly rid yourself of those thoughts weighing on your mind.”

“It can even enhance the strength of your body—your body is like a massive vessel. As long as your body’s strength becomes increasingly robust, the cultivation you can hold naturally increases significantly.”

“But before that, you must first adjust your mindset; otherwise, with your current state, you could easily tread into the Magic Path…”

Wang Zhan quickly reminded.

If it wasn’t for wanting to be strong, how could Xuan Yu possibly have reached the position he’s in today?

Thus, sometimes being strong isn’t necessarily a good thing.

“Lord Pavilion Master, rest assured. I definitely will not let your cultivation go to waste, nor will I disappoint the words you’ve shared with me today!”

“Give me some time; I can undoubtedly, within a short time, rapidly increase my strength so that those around me see me in a new light!”

At this moment, Xuan Yu seemed to rediscover his confidence.

While Wang Zhan nodded in satisfaction, he patted Xuan Yu’s shoulder and spoke again: “Alright then, from now on, you shall enter the waterfall. As for matters inside Tian Pavilion, I will delegate them to others, but don’t worry. Once you emerge from seclusion, I will restore you as the authority of Tian Pavilion.”

“Of course, I will always be a strong pillar behind you, ensuring no one speaks ill of you!”

Wang Zhan knew Xuan Yu’s self-esteem was incredibly strong, and he needed to carefully consider his words to avoid causing doubts in Xuan Yu’s mind.

If such a situation were to truly occur, it could very well push Xuan Yu into a pit of fire.

“Lord Pavilion Master, I shall take my leave.”

After leaving those words, Xuan Yu transformed into a meteoric flash, swiftly entering the waterfall.

While Wang Zhan remained at the top of the mountain, his gaze fixed continually on Xuan Yu standing within the waterfall, as a satisfied smile grew upon his lips.

He increasingly liked Xuan Yu; his personality indeed differed from many around, making him far more resolute than most.

Back then Xiang Tian was also this way, but their personalities differed greatly. Although Xiang Tian was aware of the rapid improvement of those around him, understanding the gap between him and others, his personality swiftly changed, becoming quite impatient.

Wang Zhan had already seen all this.

Despite repeatedly advising Xiang Tian, he seemed transformed, constantly fixating on the same matters, unable to adjust his mindset, thus stagnating his progress.

Even if there were improvements, the slow pace replaced nothing significant.

Now with Xiang Tian gone, Wang Zhan refrained from reminiscing too much, to avoid unsettling himself.

At all times, he needed to stay at his peak, maintaining a clear mind, undisturbed by any matter.

Just then, footsteps suddenly sounded behind Wang Zhan, sensing the familiar aura, his smile grew wider as he turned his gaze to the newcomer.

Sure enough, behind him stood the Hexagonal Golden Snake.

Only the Hexagonal Golden Snake could evoke such a familiar feeling.

“Weren’t you always with the Spirit Beast?”

Wang Zhan’s gaze fell on the Hexagonal Golden Snake behind him, asking with a smile.

Since Wang Zhan returned Inside Tian Pavilion, the Hexagonal Golden Snake, Fire Qilin, and the Spirit Beast had constantly been together.

Having Divine Beast Constitution, they could mutually assist each other and provide constructive advice, enhancing their strength overall.

But he never expected the Hexagonal Golden Snake to come see him at this time.

Could something have happened?

Wang Zhan’s heart suddenly felt worry.

As if sensing Wang Zhan’s thoughts, the Hexagonal Golden Snake laughed and spoke: “I haven’t swallowed the miracle fruit yet, so I have plenty of free time. I sensed your arrival in the back mountain, so naturally came to see you.”

“Have you heard the words I’ve spoken?”

Wang Zhan slightly raised his eyebrows and asked.

Regarding the issue of the miracle fruit, he wouldn’t intervene much, having entrusted it to the Hexagonal Golden Snake. Hence, it belonged to him.

No matter when the Hexagonal Golden Snake decided to absorb the miracle fruit, it had nothing to do with Wang Zhan.

And the Hexagonal Golden Snake beside him spoke again: “Of course, I heard you.”

“But what surprised me was that you could have such an enlightenment? It seems you have improved a lot during the time I was gone, even making me look at you with new eyes…”

However, Wang Zhan shook his head. The gap between them was significant. Even after consuming the miracle fruit, absorbing most of its power, if he truly fought against the Hexagonal Golden Snake before him, he wouldn’t gain any advantage.

Ultimately, he would only be crushed by the Hexagonal Golden Snake.

“Stop talking about these sarcastic remarks.”

“If I were you, I would definitely go into seclusion right now and use the miracle fruit to strive for a higher plane as much as possible.”

“By the way, there’s something else I need to let you know. In the upcoming period, my goal is to enter a higher plane. At that time, many people around me won’t be able to accompany me, but you, Sword Spirit, and the Fire Qilin are the best choices.”

“So, no matter when, you need to elevate your strength.”

The Hexagonal Golden Snake nodded.

He certainly wouldn’t halt his progress just because of this, nor place all his hopes on the miracle fruit.

For him, obtaining the miracle fruit might be heaven’s arrangement.

However, the Hexagonal Golden Snake knew that cultivation was not easy, and during this time, he didn’t even know how much he had already endured. How could he let it all drift by?

“Rest assured.”

“Those guys are more diligent than you can imagine, and I will not lag behind them.”

“Although there is indeed some gap between me and the Soul Suppressing Beast, compared to the Fire Qilin, I still can overshadow him.”

Wang Zhan believed this, naturally.

Although the Fire Qilin had consumed the miracle fruit, the Hexagonal Golden Snake also had a miracle fruit. This was one of the Hexagonal Golden Snake’s trump cards.

“By the way.”

“What is the situation with that guy outside?”

“His power feels extremely terrifying, even able to rival Xuan Yu. It seems your outing brought misfortune to the Sky Pavilion.”

The Hexagonal Golden Snake spoke slowly, his gaze already fixed on Wang Zhan.

Others were not aware of Wang Zhan’s departure, but the moment Wang Zhan stepped out of the Sky Pavilion, he was already detected.

Furthermore, the two even conversed for a while, but that didn’t imply anything.

Wang Zhan hesitated for a moment, immediately recalling matters related to Li Yuan Yi in his mind, and then shook his head, speaking: “This is a long story, but now Li Yuan Yi cannot pose any threat to us, so there is nothing for you to worry about…”

“Besides, we are surrounded by experts, and with so many helpers, you can rest assured that when I open the barrier, I believe the Soul Suppressing Beast will have a way to deal with Li Yuan Yi.”

But in Wang Zhan’s heart, there was a sense of regret.

If he could draw the expert from the sea domain to his side, why would he care about Li Yuan Yi?

After all, he already had some powerful allies. United, they surely wouldn’t allow Li Yuan Yi to gain any advantage.

Unfortunately, there was currently no one who could confront Li Yuan Yi head-on.

In the blink of an eye, the Hexagonal Golden Snake smiled and said: “I know you handle things prudently, and whatever you do, you surely have your own plans. If that’s the case, I won’t continue to waste your time. The subsequent matters are left for you to handle, and whatever the outcome, it’s entirely in your hands, but I completely believe that no matter when, you will not disappoint me.”

Wang Zhan smiled and shook his head. It’s truly as if a grand hat was being put on him.

But there’s something true about it: he would exhaust his life to protect everyone inside the Sky Pavilion.

“Alright.”

“Since you didn’t come to find me, I won’t continue to chatter with you here either.”

“I have now decided that it is time to absorb the power within the miracle fruit.”

Leaving these words, the Hexagonal Golden Snake vanished into the space before Wang Zhan without even saying goodbye.

This seclusion’s duration was unknown, and Wang Zhan did not inquire further. He followed by shaking his head, then walked toward the base of the mountain.

Now, everyone is hastening their cultivation, and he certainly wouldn’t waste time idly here.

But if the power of the miracle fruit within his body cannot be fully absorbed, it may even halt his progress.

In the blink of an eye, Wang Zhan returned to his room. As soon as he stepped through the door, he heard a knock at the door.

“Enter.”
