Chapter 284: At Least You Still Have Me

After a long while, Wu Li finally arrived in front of Qin Wan, and Qin Wan looked at Wu Li, a faint, bleak smile appearing on her Face as she spoke.

"Wu Li, I have no home now."

Upon hearing this, Wu Li remained silent for a long moment before looking up and speaking with utmost seriousness.

"No, at least you still have me. I will be your friend forever."

Hearing Wu Li's words, Qin Wan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, a wave of emotion washing over her heart.

"Thank you, Wu Li."

"Alright, let's first discuss what comes next. After wiping out the Nangong Family, what are your plans?"

Before Qin Wan could even attempt to confess her feelings, Wu Li continued without hesitation.

Hearing this, the corner of Qin Wan's mouth twitched. No way, she thought, the atmosphere is already at this point; if I don't confess now, it's going to be impossible to continue.

Moreover, Qin Wan felt that this was the perfect opportunity, so she interrupted Wu Li without hesitation, looked at him, and spoke resolutely.

"Wu Li, I like you—the kind of like where I want to become your Dao Companion!"

Having said that, Qin Wan disregarded Wu Li's reaction, moved directly in front of him, and pressed her lips against his.

Wu Li was stunned in place by Qin Wan's sudden confession. It took him a long time to finally react, his heart beating unexpectedly fast—perhaps this was the feeling of falling in love?

As for Wu Hao, he was hiding in the shadows, watching this scene and couldn't help but reveal an auntie-like smile.

"Not bad, that's it. Give me a few more descendants."

Just kidding—with Wu Li battling an Immortal Venerable Peak expert, a situation highly likely to pose a life-threatening risk, Wu Hao would naturally appear nearby in secret to observe. After all, with Wu Li's current cultivation at the True God Peak, it wasn't difficult to keep the entire Upper Realm in his view.

Wu Hao had already started to look forward to it. With the excellent genes of Qin Wan and Wu Li, if they had a few more descendants, their talent would surely soar. Furthermore, it wasn't unheard of for a Child of Destiny to give birth to another Child of Destiny.

Although Wu Li was naturally a blockhead, he did have feelings for Qin Wan deep down. So, with Qin Wan being so proactive, Wu Li had no reason to refuse, and just like that, the two of them got together.

Seeing this scene, Wu Hao turned and left with a satisfied expression. Now that the Nangong Family no longer posed any threat to Wu Li, there was no need for him to stay.

…

"Phew, I've finally broken through to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal."

On the other side, with the support of the five great Divine Artifacts, Wu Zhene's cultivation successfully broke through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal Initial Stage. However, after reaching the Great Luo Golden Immortal Initial Stage, Wu Zhene clearly felt that his cultivation speed had begun to slow down.

"Is it because the grade of the five Divine Artifacts within my body is too low? I'm afraid I'll have to find a way to raise the grade of the five major Divine Artifacts inside me."

Wu Zhene thought to himself. The Myriad Calamity Physique possessed no Spiritual Root. Even if he were to ingest Medicinal Pills to Cultivate a Spiritual Root, the inherent incompatibility of the Myriad Calamity Physique would prevent one from growing.

Therefore, up to this point, Wu Zhene's cultivation had been achieved through the five Divine Artifacts within his body as a medium. This meant that his upper limit would rise as the grade of the five Divine Artifacts within him increased.

Furthermore, because the Myriad Calamity Physique was already bound to the five Divine Artifacts within him, Wu Zhene had no way to replace them at will. After all, he was now a Grand Unity Golden Immortal; if he were to replace the Divine Artifacts within his body, the terrifying Calamity power of the Myriad Calamity Physique would likely become impossible to suppress within a mere instant. A Myriad Calamity Physique at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal level could likely destroy the entire Upper Realm in a single instant.

Moreover, Wu Zhene had no understanding of the Dao of Artifact Forging. Raising the grade of the five major Divine Artifacts within his body required Wu Zhene to do it himself; after all, others couldn't enter his body to help him raise the grade of the Divine Artifacts, could they?

Therefore, when he heard Wu Zhene come before him to ask if he knew of any higher-grade Artifact Forgers, Jun Xiaoyao's Face displayed a hint of surprise.

"Why are you asking this?"

"Master, this Disciple intends to learn the Dao of Artifact Forging so that in the future, I can forge the weapons I desire myself."

Wu Zhene cupped his hands and spoke with utmost seriousness.

He did not reveal his true purpose. After all, even if he did, he couldn't be sure if Jun Xiaoyao had any designs on the Divine Artifacts within his body. If Jun Xiaoyao were to make a move, he likely wouldn't be able to stop him unless he activated the Five Elements Bell.

Hearing this, Jun Xiaoyao fell into silence, but ultimately, he did not refuse. After searching through his mind, Jun Xiaoyao quickly found a suitable target.

"I do know of an Artifact Forger with a higher grade; he is an Eighth-Rank Artifact Forger. However, his temperament is somewhat eccentric, and even if I were to intervene, it might not guarantee that he would take you as his Disciple. So, whether or not you can become his apprentice depends on your luck."

When he reached the end, Jun Xiaoyao's tone was somewhat strange, as if he had thought of something, and the expression on his Face was rather complex.

In the Upper Realm, having multiple Masters was not a strange occurrence; after all, even an Immortal Emperor was not omniscient or omnipotent and would always encounter things they did not know.

Hearing Jun Xiaoyao's words, Wu Zhene couldn't help but feel curious. What kind of existence could it be that even his Master said it might not be possible to have them take him as a Disciple? After all, his Master was an Immortal Emperor Late Stage and the Holy Lord of the Five Elements Holy Land; even other Holy Lords would not dare to disrespect his Master.

But Wu Zhene shook his head gently and spoke with utmost seriousness.

"Master, just take me there. Man proposes, God disposes. If I cannot become his apprentice, it can only mean that my luck is not good enough."

"Very well. Since you have already decided, I will take you there."

After Jun Xiaoyao spoke, he waved his hand and took Wu Zhene, heading out of the Five Elements Holy Land. The Artifact Forger he recommended to Wu Zhene was not a member of the Five Elements Holy Land; otherwise, given his status as Holy Lord, he wouldn't have said that the other party might not agree.

As for why Jun Xiaoyao did not personally teach Wu Zhene artifact forging, it was because Jun Xiaoyao's own strength in artifact forging was not strong. Furthermore, now that Wu Zhene was already a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, it would indeed be difficult for him to provide much guidance to Wu Zhene with his current knowledge of artifact forging. Since that was the case, it was better to recommend an expert in the field of artifact forging to Wu Zhene.
