Chapter 1273: 494: Pre-catastrophe Sign! Senior Sister’s Sacrifice! Eradicating Demons Completely_2
But the reduction in breath, compared to the decline of Spiritual Energy, compared to the possible birth of Tribulation Force, was just the least threatening link.
“Junior Brother… What should we do now? Do you have a plan?” Su Yanyan looked at Chen Dengming.
Now, she clearly understood why, over the years, even though Chen Dengming had subtly become the foremost among the Spirit Transformation Cultivators of the Four Seas and Four Realms, he still tirelessly continued his austere cultivation.
It turned out that Chen Dengming had foreseen this catastrophe long ago.
Before this revelation, she had been ignorant, thinking that she had taken on a lot in Sect affairs on his behalf, even going as far as to learn the once disdainfully rejected Dharma Skill from junior He, while he stayed reclusive and acted like a hands-off manager.
It turned out that this junior brother bore an even greater and heavier burden, yet without a single word of complaint.
...
“Today’s situation is somewhat different from what I had anticipated all those years ago… At least now it is just the precursor to the Ancient Calamity; we still have time.”
As Chen Dengming spoke, he turned to look at Su Yanyan, meeting her mysteriously beautiful eyes behind the veil, seemingly lost in a trance, her delicate and slender body wrapped in a white silk dress, her hair brushing lightly against it, not yet regaining her senses, he was startled.
“Senior Sister!?”
“Ah!”
Su Yanyan snapped out of it, quickly regaining her usual cool demeanor, but the roots of her ears behind the veil couldn’t help but flush red due to the emotional turmoil.
She subtly tucked her hair behind her ears and said, “It seems that you have already prepared and have countermeasures, Junior Brother. I am quite relieved to hear it. Is there anything I can do to help you?”
Chen Dengming looked deep into the pretended calm of Su Yanyan’s beautiful eyes, his intuition telling him that Su Yanyan was hiding something from him.
However, the thoughts of a lady are not for him to probe deeply, and he immediately said,
“The countermeasures are currently very passive.
In any case, let’s try our best to prepare before the arrival of the Ancient Calamity, such as… trying every possible way to break through He Dao.
If we succeed in breaking through He Dao and develop our own Dao Domain, even if the Ancient Calamity really comes, we can protect many people by relying on our own Dao Domain.
In the meantime, Senior Sister, you just need to safeguard the Sect.”
“Guarding the Sect again…”
A trace of defiance appeared for the first time in Su Yanyan’s cool gaze: “I heard from Senior Qu that you and the Buddha in the World have made an agreement to join forces to eliminate the Buddha Trick. I want to join you and help!”
“No!”
Chen Dengming, without even thinking, flatly refused, his tone uncompromising.
Su Yanyan’s expression turned angry, “Why can’t I? I once fought alongside you through life and death, and now that I am a Spirit Transformation Cultivator, I can’t fight alongside you?”
A fierce gleam burst from Chen Dengming’s eyes as he looked deep into Su Yanyan’s profound eyes and said, “This time is different, you know very well the enemy we are facing is the Buddha Trick, and I am not sure myself. You must listen to me this time.”
Su Yanyan, unwilling to make eye contact, turned her back in frustration, “Am I the senior sister, or are you the senior brother? Always having to listen to you, when will you listen to me for once?”
Chen Dengming couldn’t help but laugh, “After this, whatever you want me to listen to, I will.”
Su Yanyan’s cool face, turned away, showed a triumphant smile that didn’t match her usual demeanor, “You said it, then I want you to listen to me and do one thing before you leave this time, finish it and then you can go. I won’t come with you.”
Chen Dengming’s body jolted, only then realizing he had been tricked.
This senior sister had deliberately made him agree to this request, not actually intending to make a fuss and go with him.
“What do you want me to do?”
“You’ll find out later.”
Su Yanyan left him with those words, her figure already soaring away, seemingly a bit nervous, like a trembling meteor drawing a curved arc in the sky.
Chen Dengming’s gaze flickered, and he blinked twice, suddenly having some enlightenment and yet a bit dazed.
“Does Senior Sister really mean it…?”
At the thought, sweat began to appear on his forehead, his mind feeling dizzy and bewildered.
With his state of mind, he had long been aware of some of Su Yanyan’s feelings, as clear as if seeing a fire.
If he had found it objectionable, he would have avoided it or resisted, not playing dumb until today.
Now, it seemed like the usually stoic Su Yanyan couldn’t hold back anymore and wanted to actively break the final barrier.
“Let it be…”
Chen Dengming no longer pondered over it too much, his gaze fixated on the receding graceful figure below, and his figure also soared to follow.
Sometimes, rather than dwelling, it is better to follow one’s heart without overstepping, living more joyously and freely.
…
In the following days.
After the disaster situation in the Sect and the entire Longevity Dao Field had somewhat stabilized, Chen Dengming was already planning to join forces again with Dongfang Huayuan and Qu Shenzong, heading deep into the mountains of the Western Region to find the Buddha in the World to fulfill the agreed pact.
However, before asking the Buddha in the World to fulfill the pact, the hapless Chen Laodeng had to first fulfill the promise to his senior sister, Su Yanyan.

That night.
The deep sky of Longevity Peak rose with a half-moon, clouds swiftly drifting under the moonlight, mottling the mountainous terrain.
Outside Su Yanyan’s cave dwelling, a figure appeared sneakily amid the mottled terrain.
Arriving outside the cave, the figure seemed hesitant and indecisive, as if wanting to send a message but fearing to disturb the beauty.
