Chapter 443: I’m Sorry
Jiang Hao could see the high platform and hear Chu Jie’s voice clearly.
He felt admiration for her.
‘She’s only seventeen this year.’
At the age of seventeen, Jiang was still at the eighth stage of the Lifeblood Refinement Realm. He was living cautiously in the Spirit Herb Garden and avoiding contact with others.
But this girl before him, at seventeen, was preparing to attain the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment. She was taking on the responsibility of all the people of the world.
She was even prepared to stand alone. The level of self-awareness far exceeded that of others.
The pursuit of the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment was for those with great potential, and such individuals often had to sacrifice themselves for the sake of all living beings.
For example, if the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl exploded, Chu Jie would have to willingly go and suppress it.
How many people could compare to such a formidable seventeen-year-old girl?
“Seventeen,” Hong Yuye said in amazement. “Indeed, she’s quite extraordinary.”
As they talked, a figure suddenly leaped up.
He had a green light around him. It looked like an aura from the Earth Extreme Heart Devouring Pearl.
However, the moment he leaped, a blade swept past and cut him into shreds.
He turned into ashes. The green light dissipated into the air.
People nearby were terrified, but others hadn’t even noticed anything.
However, the Bright Moon Sect disciples who had been observing everything were shocked.
“Is there a powerful expert helping us from the shadows?”
This caught them off guard. Whoever had attacked wasn’t someone ordinary.
“How’s it going on your end, Senior Brother?” Xu Bai walked over.
“It’s stable for now. It seems a strong individual is helping us out in secret, which has helped a lot. However, those from The End of All Things won’t give up easily. The big problem now is that the Saint Bandits could appear at any moment. They might not stay idle once they’re here. I don’t know how long I can hold out against a senior from the Saint Bandits.” A man sighed helplessly and looked at Xu Bai. “The other areas are up to you, Junior Brother. The Fallen Immortal Clan isn’t a major threat, but don’t underestimate them. They’re good at sneaking in.”
“Alright, Senior Brother, please be careful,” Xu Bai said.
He quickly left to complete his task.
Outside the Bright Moon Sect, intruders began to infiltrate the area.
The Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment had begun, and it was a crucial time for everyone.
Boom!
Suddenly, a light descended and was about to crush those below.
Whoosh!
A wave surged, and then a figure appeared.
His hair was disheveled, and he held a wineskin in his hand.
He appeared drunk.
“Si Cheng?”
“You know me?”
The person snorted, and the battle erupted.
The opponent seemed to want to disrupt the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment in the aftermath of the battle.
At this moment, Jiang Hao on the Twin City Peak could vaguely feel the violent fluctuations of energy in the surrounding area.
From his position, he couldn’t see the battle. He only occasionally caught glimpses of it. Power erupted and continuous explosions were apparent. It seemed that even a slight trace of that energy could severely injure him.
Such a battle made him anxious.
If it reached here, it would affect him too.
The impact brought about by the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment far exceeded his expectations.
He couldn’t even get involved even though he was in the Soul Ascension Realm. It was fortunate that many formidable seniors were around to lend a hand in the fight.
What he needed to do now was wait for Chu Jie to seize the opportunity and advance to a higher realm.
At this moment, Chu Jie closed her eyes, and her aura began to surge. She resonated with the force converging with the Bright Moon Sect. Then, the force resonated with heaven and the earth.
Then, she used the aura of everyone present to guide and absorb the surging force to form the essence of the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment.
In this way, she would ascend to become a Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator.
The first step went smoothly. She was already resonating with the surging force and was beginning to resonate with the heavens and earth.
Many people below watched her. They were nervous.
The Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment was obviously special. Now, they had the chance to witness it firsthand.
They also felt that if they assisted in this, they would gain some rewards.
Chu Chuan stared intently at Chu Jie. He realized that the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment far exceeded his expectations.
With great power came great responsibility.
The two of them had chosen different paths. Each with its own unique difficulties.
Chu Jie’s determination to choose this path was not something to be underestimated.
Xiao Li and the beast were also closely watching everything.
Boom!
The surging force began to move upward toward the heavens and earth.
Boom!
A bolt of lightning suddenly struck down and hit the converging force.
With a bang, the entire surging force endured tremendous pressure.
At the same time, Chu Jie trembled slightly, and blood oozed from the corner of her mouth.
However, she did not stop what she was doing.
Several more lightning strikes followed, and even Xiao Li had trouble standing.
Then, the heavens and earth began to glow radiantly.
The surging force also changed with it. It was vast and boundless.
However, several dark auras swept over.
The dark auras began to destroy the surging force as if they didn’t recognize the Heavenly Dao.
The disciples of the Bright Moon Sect frowned, but they weren’t in a hurry to act. Chu Jie would have to overcome this on her own.
As long as she maintained the aura of others, she could destroy these dark
If it really couldn’t be done, they had a backup plan.
On the high platform, Chu Jie’s brows furrowed. She seemed to hear the voices of all living beings.
“What kind of Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment is this? Are you using our lives to help you build it? You’re a demon!”
“Kill this demoness! Do you think ordinary people like us don’t have a right to live? You took away our luck and our lifeblood for the sake of the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment! How can we survive? What can we rely on?”
“Please, spare us! I’m begging on my knees. Don’t pursue the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment. We are all just ordinary people. Why do you want to hurt us?”
“There was a massive flood! The Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment has taken away the protection of the immortals. My child! My child is gone! Give my child back to me!”
“There’s a flood. Help!”
“What kind of Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment is this? Does it have to deprive us of our cultivation? Why are you taking away our aura?”
“On what grounds are you doing this? What do you represent?”
“Give me back my father and my mother!”
Countless voices and numerous complaints rose over all other sounds. They aimed to shatter Chu Jie’s resolve.
Tears welled up in Chu Jie’s eyes as she heard them all. She murmured,
“Please… I’m sorry. It’s all my fault…”
“If it weren’t for me, they wouldn’t have come looking for you… They wouldn’t have brought disasters upon you.”
“Everything is because I wanted the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment…
everything is because my determination has harmed you.”
“All your lifelong suffering is my doing, and I won’t deny it. I’m willing to shoulder your pain, but…”
“But I can’t give up now. They want to make me surrender, and I… can’t.” “Once I bow down, there will be no chance to stand up again. I’m sorry…”
“They fear me, and I can’t fall now. I’m sorry…”
“My success is built upon your sacrifices. I’m sorry…”
“Even if I succeed, I can’t make it up to you. Please forgive me…”
“The only thing I can guarantee is that if a great calamity strikes the heavens and earth, I will walk at the forefront without hesitation. I’ll stand in front of you and block the danger. I won’t retreat or perish.”
“So, please lend me a helping hand.. Please help me achieve the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment…
