In the pavilion nestled halfway up Chengdao Peak, Gu Ping and Xiao Zhang crossed paths. Gu Ping was pouring tea from a kettle, marking the fourth evening since his return to Cheng Dao Sect.
During these days, they had discussed many topics: the academy, the Great Qin Ying Clan, and their experiences at Celestial Dao Gate. However, the most pressing matter remained the future of Cheng Dao Sect, where they could not reach a consensus on certain issues, such as abandoning the mountain gate located at Chengdao Peak, where Ru Ming resided.
To lose both land and people meant losing everything; to keep people while losing land meant retaining some semblance of existence. As long as he was alive and as long as Cai Jiang and Yang Zheng were safe, Cheng Dao Sect would not perish. But if they all fell in battle against Nine Nether Blood, then nothing would remain of Cheng Dao Sect.
Throughout those days, Gu Ping repeatedly warned Xiao Zhang not to cling to false hopes. Yet, as Ru Ming's disciple within Cheng Dao Sect, Xiao Zhang found himself unable to act solely according to his own desires.
If they left Chengdao Peak, where could they possibly go? Without the Sect, even if Cheng Dao Sect survived, it would be nearly finished.
People could leave; treasures and secret techniques could be taken away. But once the mountain gate was destroyed, it would be lost forever. Rebuilding what had endured countless storms over tens of thousands of years was an uncertain prospect.
Yet, the Dao Tradition persisted. The will of the Daoist Sect to accept heaven's mandate and follow its intent remained strong. As long as the Beginning Path existed, it held its own significance—didn't it?
Perhaps so. But some things, once relinquished, could never be reclaimed.
As night fell, the sun slowly dipped below the horizon. Above them unfolded a sight rarely seen by ordinary people: half a starry sky and half a setting sun.
Some things are destined to remain together if not let go of, buried in the dust of the past. Existence or death is always a heavy topic; at least they could make choices.
Those who have not experienced certain things would never understand—Coco would never grasp it. Even if she did comprehend it intellectually, she would never truly feel it, just like Gu Ping's situation with Yan Dong.
Even though he knew that the two in front of him were discussing the fate of the Cheng Dao Sect, for a disciple like him, everything felt distant.
When the Cheng Dao Sect could no longer hold its ground, it would be time for the Academy to take action.
The Ninth Underworld was not as reckless as Coco, charging eastward without consideration for losses; everyone was Minghong, and they were waiting.
Gu Ping did not mention going east again. Xiao Zhang felt a sense of Minghong in his heart. Were those people waiting for the Beginning Path to be completely annihilated, waiting for the Cheng Dao Sect to bleed its first drop of blood?
At that time, with the Ninth Underworld losing its edge, the destruction of the Beginning Path would provide other Daoist Sects with a reason to unite against their enemies. This would mark the beginning of a grand unification war. He believed that he would not be ignored; there was no benefit in that for him.
Xiao Zhang was not wrong; for Gu Ping, what he lacked most now was time.
Even though Gu Ping was growing stronger every moment, I don't deny it. Buqi.
How strong was Dao Zun?
Even Yin Tianheng could not provide a clear concept. From the memories of the Primordial Celestial Demon, Gu Ping could roughly form an idea.
Only a Dao Zun could contend with another Dao Zun.
Fortunately, as long as Gu Ping remained in this realm for one more day, he could hide in the Dust Realm for another month.
As long as no one attained Fortune today, no one could break the shackles of heaven and earth and descend from the heavenly realm Dong Fan.
So as long as the Cheng Dao Sect can hold on for one more day, Gu Ping will have one more day of time, which might be the reason why Gu Ping is reluctant to leave.
I know that the Cheng Dao Sect cannot be preserved no matter what. If I cling to false hopes, it will only lead to my own ruin.
Knowing the outcome already makes waiting a torment, especially since the ending is particularly cruel for Xiao Zhang.
Gu Ping used to say, "I don't deny," but after everything that happened over the years, what once seemed so important—the Cheng Dao Sect—has now turned into a mere burden. Even the assistance from the Light Path Classic has become dispensable.
With the support of Qiankun Dao and the Great Qin Empire's Iron Cavalry, no one dares to seek unification of Tiandong without considering Gu Ping's feelings.
No one knows that beneath the temporarily calm surface of the sea, dark currents are surging.
Almost everyone is focused on one question: Where is Yin Tianheng?
The people from Jade Void Sect are inquiring, those from Treasure Pavilion are also asking around, and even the Nine Nethermen are fixated on the three characters: Yin Tianheng.
No one can confirm it, but everyone feels that Yin Tianheng is somewhere near the Qin Empire's border, ready to strike at any moment against Nine Nether Sect.
