Chapter 1785 God Lives In Everyone's Heart (1)
Time passed quickly.
The experts who had willingly sacrificed their Beast Hearts to build the Sky Penetrating Bridge back then had already passed away one after another. However, Di Ruofeng was holding on just so that Yin Mingjue could return and the mentor and disciple could reunite.
In the 42nd year of the Divine Dao, Xu Qingtian became the Sentimental Divine Master. That day, war drums resounded throughout the three thousand worlds.
Upon hearing the war drum, Di Ruofeng cried tears of joy. As he sat in the wheelchair, he secretly wiped his tears.
With his wish fulfilled, Di Ruofeng became bedridden that night.
Seeing that her Grand Mentor's condition had worsened, Yu Huang went to the Paradise World overnight and brought Yin Mingjue and Jing Rujiu to the Holy Spirit Continent.
At dawn, the courtyard where Di Ruofeng lived was filled with people. Some of them were honorary students who had graduated from the Divine Realm Academy, some were people who had received Di Ruofeng's care and kindness, and the rest were old friends who had a good relationship with Di Ruofeng. For example, Sheng Lingfeng, Caro Xiangfu, and the others.
Di Ruofeng's disciple, Anna, knelt beside the recliner and held the old man's hand while crying silently.
Seeing Xu Qingtian walk through the crowd quickly and arrive in front of her, Anna approached Di Ruofeng and called out softly, "Mentor, Senior Brother Mingjue is here."
Upon hearing the words 'Mingjue', the old man slowly opened his eyes.
When those turbid eyes saw Xu Qingtian, they suddenly emitted a burning light. It was as if Di Ruofeng saw his beloved disciple, Yin Mingjue, through Xu Qingtian's unfamiliar face.
In an instant, Di Ruofeng burst into tears.
Prime Master Yin Mingjue sacrificed himself to save the commoners. Yin Mingjue was a hero?
As a Beast Tamer, especially a top-notch expert, protecting the country and saving the commoners was their duty. Yin Mingjue had used his life to fulfill his responsibility as a Beast Tamer. As his mentor and the dean of the Divine Realm Academy, Di Ruofeng should be proud of Yin Mingjue, but he secretly hoped that this child would become an ordinary expert.
Every time he missed his beloved disciple, Di Ruofeng couldn't help but blame the heavens. There were so many experts in the world, so why did he choose to sacrifice his beloved disciple?
"Is Mingjue back?" The old man called out, causing Xu Qingtian to burst into tears.
"Mentor!" Xu Qingtian, who was standing at the front of the crowd, immediately knelt down on one knee. Then, he knocked his head on the ground so hard that a bang sounded. "Mentor, I, Yin Mingjue, have returned to apologize to you!"
To Xu Qingtian, Di Ruofeng was both a teacher and a father. Because he was afraid that meeting him would agitate the old man, all these years, Xu Qingtian only dared to contact the old man by letter. He was already cultivating with all his might, but he still returned too late.
Hearing this, Di Ruofeng's right hand, which was hanging between his legs, trembled slightly before he said in a choked voice, "Mingjue, come to me."
"Mentor." After Xu Qingtian knelt on the ground beside Di Ruofeng, he held his mentor's thin hands tightly, but he felt upset when he felt their weakness. These hands were once powerful and could do anything with a flip of his hand. But now, they were so fragile that they seemed like they could break with a light snap.
"Mentor, I came back too late. Sorry to keep you waiting."
"It's good that you're back."
Di Ruofeng tried his best to open his eyes wider so that he could see Yin Mingjue's face more clearly. He wanted to remember his disciple's new and unfamiliar appearance forever.
All these years, Di Ruofeng had relied on consuming pills that extended his lifespan. After he fell last night, the toxicity of the pills counterattacked his body. At this moment, Di Ruofeng's body was bubbling like a hot pot.
He was enduring pain and suffering that ordinary people couldn't bear.
Xu Qingtian could feel Di Ruofeng's pain. He stroked Di Ruofeng's wrinkled forehead as he cried, "Mentor, I'm back safely. You can rest assured. In the future, I will take good care of Anna and protect my people. Don't worry. You… can rest in peace."
Upon hearing this, Di Ruofeng let out a long sigh.
He extended his other hand shakily.
Seeing this, Anna hurriedly held Di Ruofeng's hand.
Di Ruofeng took a few deep breaths and said, "Anna, don't cry, okay?"
