Mortals cultivate immortality, and their IQ is playing with their heartbeats

#441 - Moral friendship

With the destruction of the Nine Profound Ancestor, the surrounding restrictions began to collapse, releasing chaotic energy fluctuations.

Li Chengfeng quickly recovered his senses. Without hesitation, he used "Drawing Fire From Under the Pot Source" and plunged into the chaos, grabbing a painting. It was the painting that sealed the Wine Spring Ancestor.

This was a priceless treasure, formed from the restrictions themselves, with the words 'Soul Seal' written on it.

Then, he noticed that Monk Jingxin was on the verge of death, his breath weak.

A wave of indescribable grief and helplessness surged in his heart, knowing that Monk Jingxin had paid the price of his life to perform that terrifying technique.

Just as Li Chengfeng was about to use a secret method to seal Monk Jingxin's soul, the latter gently shook his head, his eyes revealing a sense of detachment and peace.

"I have already dedicated everything to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and my soul will also return to nothingness. There is no need to trouble yourself for me."

Monk Jingxin's words carried a hint of relief, "This place is about to collapse. Leave quickly. I have final words to say."

Upon hearing this, Li Chengfeng did not hesitate.

He quickly activated the power of the restrictions within his body, condensing a whirlwind, enveloping Monk Jingxin within it. Then, using this power, he traversed through space, escaping the perilous situation that was about to collapse.

When they appeared on the periphery of the sea, the entire island had already collapsed, and the seawater surged in like a ferocious beast. The waves beat against the sky, forming a doomsday-like scene.

Li Chengfeng steered the living world space, heading towards the open sea at the fastest speed, away from this land full of danger and change.

In a specific area of this living world space, a place carefully arranged by Li Chengfeng, a tragic and noble dialogue was unfolding.

Monk Jingxin, with a smile on his face, but with a faint sorrow in his eyes, knew that he was about to reach the end of his life.

He sighed softly, his voice carrying a hint of relief: "Friend, what you see is the price of performing that forbidden technique—death.

Even if I can stay a moment longer within this space, I will eventually return to that eternal tranquility. Amitabha."

Li Chengfeng gazed at Monk Jingxin, his eyes full of respect and understanding: "Friend, you are indeed an eminent monk of Buddhism.

To kill the Nine Profound Ancestor, you did not hesitate to sacrifice yourself. Such determination and courage are admirable.

But have you ever thought about whether such a sacrifice is truly worth it?"

Monk Jingxin stood up tremblingly. Although his figure appeared weak, his gaze was unusually firm: "Our paths are inherently different.

You pursue unconstrained freedom, so naturally you would not easily sacrifice yourself for others.

But what I believe in is compassion and sacrifice. Now that the demonic path is rampant, the Evil Dragon Clan and the Demon Clan are wreaking havoc in the human world. If the Nine Profound Ancestor is added, the human realm will fall into even deeper suffering.

To be able to exchange my own life for the fall of the Nine Profound Ancestor, I will die without regret."

Upon hearing this, Li Chengfeng couldn't help but cast an approving glance: "Friend, you are a person of great wisdom.

Although I do not agree with your path, I respect your choice.

I will walk my own path, and I will not hinder others from pursuing their great path. Whether in life or death, it is all cultivation."

Monk Jingxin's face bloomed with a warm smile: "Friend, your words are full of sincerity and are touching.

However, if you can truly let go of everything, why not convert to my Buddhist school and cultivate the path of compassion together?"

Li Chengfeng smiled slightly, politely declining Monk Jingxin's kindness: "Master, everyone's path is unique. I have my own path to walk. However, I am grateful for your suggestion."

Then, Monk Jingxin took out the half of a black finger bone from his bosom, the treasure of the forbidden technique of Dizang Temple, carrying the sacrifices and expectations of countless eminent monks.

"This is the treasure of my Dizang Temple. Each time it is used, it requires a life as the price.

I came here this time, not only me, but also two highly respected senior brothers who also chose to sacrifice themselves.

You have personally witnessed the power of this forbidden technique."

Li Chengfeng nodded solemnly: "Master, I will remember your sacrifice and dedication.

If you have any last wishes, as long as I can do it and it does not endanger myself, I will definitely help with all my strength."

Monk Jingxin gently shook his head, indicating that he had no regrets: "My only wish is that the human realm can restore peace as soon as possible and that the evil demons retreat.

As for myself, to have this opportunity to eliminate harm for all beings is already a great blessing.

I only ask that you take this finger bone to Dizang Temple and give it to Abbot Di Tian. He will give you a generous reward, and he will not harm you.

We have already heard of your deeds. We are prepared to protect you. Now that the Demon Clan is evil.

The Dragon Clan is rampant, and the entire Xuan Guang Continent needs talents like you, and my Dizang Temple is a member of the coalition forces against the Demon Army.

If you are willing to jointly slay the demons, my Dizang Temple will definitely protect you and give you an opportunity to clear your name!"

After speaking, Monk Jingxin's figure gradually became blurred, and his soul seemed to be slowly ascending towards the unknown shore.

Li Chengfeng looked at this scene, his heart filled with mixed feelings, both admiration for Monk Jingxin and firmness for the future path.

Li Chengfeng stared at the finger bone in his hand, his heart surging with complex emotions.

This is not just a treasure, but also a testament to Monk Jingxin's self-sacrifice.

He knew deeply the strange power contained in this finger bone, enough to make anyone's heart flutter, but he also understood that behind this power was Monk Jingxin's sacrifice and dedication.

"Master Jingxin, I will remember your sacrifice. I will definitely handle this finger bone properly and live up to your trust."

Li Chengfeng secretly vowed in his heart, and then used his profound cultivation to completely seal that strange power, so as not to let it fall into the hands of villains and cause unnecessary disasters.

He was not driven by greed. Although this finger bone was priceless and might even hide shocking secrets, Li Chengfeng valued the friendship and morality between people more.

He deeply knew that the true strong are not only in the level of cultivation, but also in the purity and firmness of their hearts.

"I, Li Chengfeng, have my own principles in doing things. Take it in a proper way, use it in a proper way, this is the path of cultivation I pursue."

He whispered to himself, his eyes firm.

Regarding Monk Jingxin's last wish, Li Chengfeng decided to go to Dizang Temple in person and hand the finger bone over to Abbot Di Tian.

He understood that this journey might be full of unknowns and dangers, but he also knew that this was the best comfort to Monk Jingxin and a promise to the righteousness of the human world.

That is indeed very dangerous. You must know that not every monk in Dizang Temple is as selfless and loving as Jingxin.

Among the gentlemen, there must be evil people. Dizang Temple is mixed with good and bad, cultivating both Buddha and demons.

I didn't expect that there would be such a selfless monk like Jingxin.

You must know that Li Chengfeng's reward is 600,000 high-grade spirit stones. In addition, he has various secret techniques, making all major forces scramble for him. He is a hot potato to kill.

However, he still decided to fulfill Monk Jingxin's last wish to comfort his spirit in heaven. Although he wouldn't go, Jingxin was also helpless, but Li Chengfeng has Li Chengfeng's way.

That is.

If you are good to me, then I will definitely give you two good things in return.

If you are cruel to me, I will definitely make you grind your bones to ashes.
