Chapter 4803: Different Aspirations
Jun Jueshang gently patted Qianhua’s hands, as he had a faint smile on. “You’re overthinking this,” he reassured. “Not everyone can reach their level of strength, nor does everyone get the opportunity to undergo tribulations and ascend like them.”
Guan Xilin echoed his sentiment with a smile. “Exactly! How many people in this world truly reach the peak of Supreme power? Besides, while our strength isn’t weak, we’re still far from that supreme level. Some cultivate their entire lives and never even touch the edge of it, so it’s really too early for us to talk about ascending.”
He then looked up at the gathering clouds, a contented expression on his face. “What’s more,” he added, “I’m perfectly fine just the way I am now. I have my family—Ye Jing and my children—to keep me company, and I already feel incredibly satisfied. I don’t really think about anything else.”
Guan Xilin had never been a man driven by grand ambition. He grew stronger solely to protect those he cared about. With his current power, he was already among the most formidable in these celestial realms. Plus, with Little Jiu’s extensive connections, no one dared to harm them. In essence, the life they had now was precisely what they desired.
Wanyan Qianhua and Jun Jueshang exchanged glances upon hearing this. For them, too, their current life was exactly what they had wished for—peaceful and happy, a goal they had already achieved.
Everyone’s aspirations are different. Some seek to make a name for themselves, others desire both fame and fortune, some strive for strength for its own sake, while others are compelled by fate to grow stronger. Still others, like them, simply want to live an ordinary life with their loved ones, their children, and their families.
Ironically, Feng Jiu and her companions also longed for such a life, but fate had consistently pushed them to grow and become stronger. Perhaps only when they became the most powerful beings in the world would they finally be able to live the ordinary and warm life they truly wanted.
Deep in the sea, the sleeping Xuanyuan Mo Ze was frantically absorbing spiritual energy. Wisps of power flowed towards him, vanishing in the blink of an eye. The ocean churned beneath the surface, yet the world above remained calm, save for the area near Feng Jiu. There, powerful air currents caused the sea to surge, forming towering waves that crashed against the surface with a roaring sound.
Inside the lightning cylinder, Feng Jiu closed her eyes and gently raised her hands to form a seal. As her hands moved, the aura of the Blue Lotus spread out, swiftly repairing the marks left on her body by the lightning tribulation. The Blue Lotus appeared between her eyebrows, emitting a green light. With her red clothes and black hair, enveloped in this green glow, her face was beautiful and serene, her expression calm and steady.
After using the Blue Lotus’s power to repair the marks from the lightning tribulation, she gently turned her hands and placed them between her knees again, sitting quietly with her palms facing upwards. From beginning to end, she never opened her eyes.
In the Upper Immortal Realm, on Yunxiao Mountain, Hao’er and the other two watched as the days passed, counting the three bolts of lightning that fell each day. Forty-nine bolts had now struck, yet they still hadn’t seen their mother undergoing her tribulation in the Lower Immortal Realm. Growing anxious, they couldn’t help but ask their master to let them see her.
The Azure Emperor was sleeping on a soft couch under a tree. He heard footsteps but did not open his eyes.
