Chapter 1037: Chapter 1035: In Life, Be a Hero Among Men; In Death, Be a Champion Among Ghosts 1
Dream Dao Attainment, Opening Scheme Against Cultivators.
Dream-Making Expert.
Wang Ling laughed, prepared to face death with composure, to complete Lord Xinling.
There were visible lights and shadows that seemed about to cross through time and space to merge with Wang Ling.
Fang Yun and the others were sorrowful yet carried a hint of relief.
Yes.
A person lives one life. If in life one cannot dine from nine tripods, then in death one should be boiled in nine tripods!
A true man born between heaven and earth should naturally do grand and magnificent deeds.
How could he linger on a sickbed, withering away in mediocrity?
Rather than let Wang Ling eke out a miserable existence, it would be better to let Wang Ling go to his death with valor, to cooperate with Lin Qi in doing something grand—
"Foolish!"
Lin Qi slammed down a palm, his spiritual power exquisite to the utmost degree, activating the residual life force within Wang Ling's body in an instant.
Over these days, the medicinal power Wang Ling had consumed but never fully digested was, under Lin Qi's profoundly mysterious palm strike, completely activated and refined.
Like a spring breeze brushing the face.
Wang Ling, who had already been riddled with wounds and too weak to absorb nourishment, suddenly seemed to have a last flicker of life. His death aura receded, his vitality surged, like a withered tree meeting spring.
This sudden change left Wang Ling, who had already closed his eyes waiting for death to arrive, utterly stunned.
Opening his eyes, he saw that the light and shadow — which should have been Lord Xinling crossing through time and space at any cost — was once again interrupted by Lin Qi and scattered.
"In life, one should be a hero among men; in death, one should be a champion among ghosts!"
"This is indeed the aspiration my disciple should have."
"But you are not a hero among men in life. In death, on what basis do you think you can be a champion among ghosts?"
Lin Qi reprimanded.
"Did you think that as long as you close your eyes and kick your legs—"
"The next second, Lord Xinling, merged with you, would instantly attain the Dao and ascend on the spot?"
"Hm?"
Was that not how it was?
Wang Ling's eyes widened. He suddenly realized that he had probably, possibly, seemingly, indeed — oversimplified things.
After all, even if Lord Xinling truly would one day become a key figure capable of helping Lin Qi break the deadlock—
On what basis did Wang Ling confidently believe that as long as he died, Lord Xinling could instantly ascend?
Just like that, become a Lord of Time and Space capable of freely traversing through time and space?
Where in the world was anything that easy?
He, Wang Ling, was not the protagonist of some hot-blooded manga, able to suddenly comprehend infinite love and easily defeat the Supremes who suppressed the past, present, and future, possessing the mighty power to annihilate the Myriad Realms.
Even Lin Qi couldn't do it.
On what basis could Wang Ling!
"If you were merely a mediocre man, then as your Master, I would naturally think of every way to extend your life, keep you out of it all, and let you live an ordinary life."
"But since you are unwilling to be mediocre, your blood still runs hot, and you wish to contribute to the Myriad Realms and the endless sentient beings—"
