Chapter 1489 - 1486: Wuji Passes Away

Chapter 1489: Chapter 1486: Wuji Passes Away

However, how could Chen Tianlong not see that Wu Wuji was speaking intentionally, so he didn’t think about exposing him, since the master must have his own reasons for not saying.

At this moment, Chen Tianlong looked gratefully at Wu Wuji, wanting to speak but stopping.

"Haha, Chen Tianlong, my disciple, you’ve broken through and yet why’s your face so gloomy? You should be happy! Haha, cough cough cough..." Wu Wuji just got excited and started coughing again.

"Pouh....."

Suddenly his blood surged, and Wu Wuji couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood. When Chen Tianlong saw this, he was immediately shocked and quickly grabbed his master’s wrist to check his pulse.

After a few seconds, Chen Tianlong frowned worriedly and said, "Master, why are you so foolish, knowing your meridians are damaged and still transferring Inner Strength to me, isn’t that equal to committing suicide?"

"Ah?"

Wu Mengting heard Chen Tianlong say this and looked at Wu Wuji’s pale face, finally realizing that he had been injured earlier but just held back without saying anything.

"Grandpa, why... why are you so foolish."

Wu Mengting was also at a loss for words, not knowing what to say, so she borrowed a line from Chen Tianlong.

"Haha, you two are really a perfect match, even speaking alike."

Unexpectedly, at this time, Wu Wuji could still joke so lightly.

No wonder, his last wish had been fulfilled, so there was nothing to regret.

Wu Wuji knew he didn’t have much time left; whatever he could give to his successor, he gave, pouring a lifetime of Inner Strength into Chen Tianlong’s body without any rejection, which was the most surprising part for him.

Generally, this could lead to Demonic Possession, or even death from not being able to withstand it. The best case scenario might be to utilize fifty percent of his Inner Strength.

Yet here Chen Tianlong, his disciple, had a utilization rate of one hundred percent, akin to directly injecting his Inner Strength into Chen Tianlong’s body for continuous use, without any rejection or leakage signs.

Chen Tianlong was like a pool of Inner Strength, capable of storing as much as given and using it efficiently.

"Tianlong, try running your Cultivation Technique. If I guessed right, you’re at the Celestial Dao seven-star Great Perfection Limit now, and when you mastered the Swordsmanship, you also broke through the level."

Wu Wuji spoke very confidently.

"Huh? Another breakthrough? Wasn’t it just upgraded? Will another breakthrough affect the body?" Chen Tianlong was a bit surprised and also concerned.

"Haha, silly child. Of course not, if it were the old you, perhaps it would, but not now because you possess all of my Inner Strength. Your current power should not be underestimated; how high it is will depend on when your enemies test it."

Wu Wuji intentionally left some suspense, otherwise, Chen Tianlong might become arrogant, which would not do.

In a sense, Chen Tianlong had acquired his strength and could be as strong as him, but everyone’s strength progresses step by step, not infinitely with increasing Inner Strength.

Chen Tianlong was the kind with Inner Strength far exceeding his current strength usage range.

That means, future breakthroughs for Chen Tianlong will be easier, at least more so than others, easier to reach Extreme Dao; as long as he reaches that level, he will naturally break through.

As they spoke, Wu Wuji suddenly turned pale, coughing violently. Chen Tianlong quickly dashed over to support him, checking his pulse again, frowning tightly, knowing his master’s meridian damage was severe, and wouldn’t survive the night.

"Mengting, say whatever you need to say to your grandpa. I’m afraid he’s not going to make it." Chen Tianlong held back tears and spoke to Mengting.

Wu Mengting had already seen from Chen Tianlong’s expression that the situation was terrible, or Chen Tianlong wouldn’t easily give up.

Mind you, Chen Tianlong is the Divine Doctor.

But for someone at the Celestial Dao Seven-star Great Perfection Limit, Chen Tianlong feels powerless, something he cannot solve now.

Wu Mengting, teary-eyed, approached Wu Wuji, speaking earnestly, "Grandpa, what’s happening? We just met, and you....."

At this point, tears were flowing uncontrollably, unlike before; he might have been sad but wouldn’t tear up so easily, now it was different.

A while back, Good Sword Manor was burned, Dad Wu Jian went missing, life or death unknown, and now grandpa was in dire straits. Even the strongest hearts couldn’t bear such a blow.

"Mengting, granddaughter, don’t be sad. In truth, before you appeared, I knew my body wouldn’t last long. This was an injury from ten-plus years ago finally beyond suppression. My life Qi is finished, no reason for sorrow." Wu Wuji comforted.

"Honestly, this time I made out well, gained a disciple, and met my dearest granddaughter. The old man is content, dying with no regrets, hahaha."

Wu Wuji had just finished speaking when his face cramped painfully, suddenly spitting a mouthful of blood, his hand falling down.

"Grandpa...."

"Master...."

Wu Mengting and Chen Tianlong shouted almost simultaneously, obviously very sad, but Wu Wuji had passed away.

Just like that, the two knelt in front of Wu Wuji for a whole hour. Chen Tianlong then climbed up and gently wiped away the tears at the corner of Wu Mengting’s eyes.

"Chen Tianlong." Wu Mengting looked at Chen Tianlong, a bit unsure of what to do.

"Mengting, no matter what the future holds, you are my life, and I will always be with you until the end of time." Chen Tianlong said resolutely.

"Hehe, okay, it’s a promise."

Upon hearing Chen Tianlong’s words, Wu Mengting immediately broke into a smile despite her tears.

The two didn’t delay and buried Wu Wuji in that rocky ground. There were many stones here, and the terrain appeared relatively dry, suitable for burial and preventing decay.

Until evening, only then did they finish burying their master’s body. After a brief period of worship, they returned to the wooden house.

Their entire bodies were covered in dirt and dust, terribly filthy, so they decided to go to the pool for a bath.

"Mengting, my dear wife, look how dirty we are. Why don’t we go to the pool to bathe?" Chen Tianlong spoke nonchalantly, yet Wu Mengting heard it quite differently.

Although they were already a bona fide married couple, they hadn’t entirely transitioned from being lovers to spouses. There were still some hesitations, so at this time, Wu Mengting’s face was flushed red, too embarrassed to reply.

Chen Tianlong caught a glimpse and suddenly noticed Mengting’s flushed cheeks, instantly recalling his previous words. Immediately, he hurried to explain: "Ahem, ahem, Mengting, what I meant was you go into the water first, and then I will follow."

"You bad guy, if I go in first, then I’ll already be exposed in front of you." Wu Mengting rolled her eyes at Chen Tianlong.

"Well, can I cover my eyes then? My dear wife." Chen Tianlong said with a wry smile.

"Hmph, don’t think I don’t know your eyes can see through things. Covering them might make it clearer, not playing with you anymore." Although Wu Mengting said this, she returned to the house, took a set of Chen Tianlong’s clothes and her own clothes, and walked out.

"You better not use your cultivation technique to sneak a peek later, got it? Otherwise, you’ll be sleeping on the ground tonight. Hmph!" Wu Mengting pouted, and Chen Tianlong found it adorable.

"Alright, I absolutely, positively promise not to peek, I swear!"

Chen Tianlong used a stream of affirmations and ended with a hand-raised oath.

Wu Mengting covered her mouth, laughing secretly, as it was a rare moment for them to temporarily forget their grief and enjoy such peaceful life in this world without conflict.

Perhaps these would be their happiest and freest times, where they completed their wedding and could swim and play together, loving each other in this place.

Before long, they arrived at the pool, and when Wu Mengting was ready to undress, she asked Chen Tianlong to turn around.

Chen Tianlong acted very obediently. How could he not? If he misbehaves, he might not be allowed in her bed anymore, so Chen Tianlong had to endure it, even if there was a fire burning within him.

Seeing Chen Tianlong obediently turning away with no movement, Wu Mengting secretly chuckled, thinking that Chen Tianlong was indeed obedient, which meant she should reward him more in the future.

In a little while, Wu Mengting was done undressing.

However, her little panties remained on, as the last line of defense for a girl, she would pay attention no matter where she was. Besides, Wu Mengting herself was relatively modest, so even when undressed, she couldn’t remove the panties completely. She felt secure with at least some coverage.

This wasn’t due to a lack of trust in Chen Tianlong but rather her own mindset, a modest mindset.

With a splash, Mengting jumped into the water. When she resurfaced, she found Chen Tianlong had disappeared.

As she searched, suddenly, with a "whoosh," someone leapt out of the water, giving Wu Mengting quite a scare. But she quickly realized it was Chen Tianlong.

Suddenly, Wu Mengting felt both surprised and shy, after all, they were both naked in the water.

Chen Tianlong didn’t plan on staying completely undressed, so he left on his underwear. After the two washed in the shallow area for a while, Chen Tianlong suddenly grabbed Mengting and laughed heartily, "Finally caught a mermaid."

Wu Mengting exclaimed, finally coming to her senses, and said with a wry smile, "You big baddie, I’m not a mermaid. Put me down, I’m already exposed."

Being held like that by Chen Tianlong, a portion of her smooth body was raised above water, potentially revealing intimate areas.

"Hehe, exposed to what? Isn’t it just the two of us in this valley?" Chen Tianlong laughed and said.

"Oh, who knows, what if there are others? I’d be so embarrassed." Wu Mengting muttered.

Hearing this remark from Mengting, Chen Tianlong suddenly remembered a place, then put Mengting down and seriously said: "Mengting, your words just reminded me of a secret I discovered not long ago. It seems that swimming to the bottom of the water leads to an underground cave. It’s kind of strange down there. Would you like to take a look?"
