Outside the imperial palace, Lin Qiye said goodbye to Zhu Yuheng with a guilty conscience.
He rushed back to the imperial palace without stopping.
In the imperial palace, the old emperor stood on the eaves and quietly waited for Lin Qiye’s return.
“Little Seventeen… Oh? You’ve lit up the Fifth Gate of Heaven? How is that possible? After the Golden Dragon of Fortune was killed, weren’t all human cultivation bottlenecks strengthened by a hundredfold?
“Why can you still break through?”
The old emperor raised his eyebrows in astonishment.
“I had a special opportunity. Not only was I unaffected by the Doom Arrow, but I also lit up the Gate of Death at the heart and obtained another treasure.”
Lin Qiye explained with a smile.
The old emperor was stunned at first.
Then, his face was full of surprise.
He felt worried ever since the three evil blood dragons killed the Golden Dragon of Fortune.
At this moment, seeing Little Seventeen break through adversity, the old emperor’s hope was rekindled.
“You are indeed a natural-born emperor destined to save the human race! You can withstand the Wolf Lord’s Doom Arrow. Your luck is too incredible!”
The old emperor grinned and patted Lin Qiye’s shoulder hard.
“Good lad! With such indestructible luck, the human race would be revived!”
Towards the old emperor’s optimism, Lin Qiye shook his head.
“Now that the Wolf Lord has lit up the Eighth Gate of Heaven, when he stabilizes his cultivation after a year of seclusion, he will lead his army south with the intention of exterminating the human race in one swoop. For the final battle in a year, I will go into seclusion and strive for a new breakthrough.”
Lin Qiye’s eyes were calm.
He did not feel complacent because he had lit up the Fifth Gate of Heaven and obtained ten wisps of Holy Violet Genuine Qi.
Facing the Wolf Lord, who was also a super genius, he had to light up the two Gates of Heaven within his wings to possess enough power to suppress the Wolf Lord!
Otherwise, he would definitely die in the hands of the Wolf Lord.
At that time, all his efforts in this life would be for naught.
Lin Qiye could not accept such a tragic loss.
Therefore, he was full of fighting spirit and energy.
He went into the underground cultivation room.
In the cultivation room, the wings behind Lin Qiye spread open with lightning and thunder.
He recalled the details when he first lit up the five Gates of Heaven in his mind. At the same time, his consciousness followed the spiritual energy and traveled through the meridians of the wings, looking for a plan that could light up the gates.
“What’s going on? When I lit up the other five Gates of Heaven, it was done naturally and in one go. Only the two gates on the wings have not been found.”
Lin Qiye frowned and was somewhat at a loss.
“The two Gates of Heaven on the wings are different from the ones on other parts of my body! But how is it different?”
Lin Qiye was puzzled.
After several days of seclusion, Lin Qiye had no choice but to come out.
“I have no clue. Do I really have to study Zhu Yuheng?”
Lin Qiye instructed the palace maids to prepare a medicinal soup to eliminate physical and mental fatigue. He took off all his clothes, soaked in water, and closed his eyes to rest.
Strands of medicinal efficacy entered Lin Qiye’s body and eased his exhaustion.
Suddenly, Zhu Yuheng quietly landed outside his house.
Zhu Yuheng sat diagonally on the table, folding her legs. Slender legs as clear as jade dangled in the air and swayed gently.
“Hey, do you have any idea?”
Lin Qiye had already sensed Zhu Yuheng’s aura.
“I’m taking a bath. Isn’t it bad for you to barge in like this?”
“I didn’t come in to stare at you! Besides, you’ve already touched me. Can’t I look at you?”
Zhu Yuheng sat at the desk with an arrogant attitude.
Lin Qiye said, “…Okay.”
“I’m asking if you have any clues to light up the two Gates of Heaven on your wings.”
“Not yet.”
Lin Qiye sighed slightly.
The room fell into a long silence.
One could hear a pin drop.
There was only the sound of the wind blowing against the bead curtain.
“So… You need to study my heart, right?”
“I’ll think about it myself…”
Zhu Yuheng interrupted Lin Qiye. Her voice was clear and powerful. “I’m asking you, will it be faster if you study my heart?”
Her tone was tough, but her voice was trembling slightly.
Apparently, Zhu Yuheng acted tough to support herself.
Lin Qiye saw through it, but he did not say it out loud. He knew Zhu Yuheng had a stubborn and arrogant personality.
“Yes. If I can study it, I can definitely speed up the breakthrough.”
“Then I will help you.”
Zhu Yuheng let out a deep breath and said the decision after hesitating for a few nights.
Halfway through her words, she felt that her face was burning red like an erupting volcano.
How could this be? She had never wanted to interact with other humans.
However, she bumped into this fellow.
At first, she only wanted to return a favor.
But later on, she saw him destroy the six great sects in anger for the commoners. He made their blood flow into a river.
Later on, before she was on the verge of death, she begged him pitifully, and she exposed her most shameful side in front of him.
After that, he reconstructed her heart.
The moment she opened her eyes, the classical scene was deeply imprinted in her mind, and she couldn’t erase it.
Everything was sprinting wildly in a direction she could not control, and it became magical to the extent that she was even willing to sacrifice more for his research now.
Originally, Zhu Yuheng felt embarrassed and found it difficult to speak of this matter.
But just now, after she spoke of her decision, a trace of satisfaction appeared in the depths of her heart.
How could this be?
Zhu Yuheng didn’t understand why she had become so strange.
