Chapter 92

The flying car sped like lightning, and in the blink of an eye, it had left the Five Spider Islands behind, heading south over the sea for five hundred miles. A small island appeared ahead, which was the Golden Autumn Island, roughly thirty miles in diameter.

At the center of the island was a cluster of buildings, where the divine doctor Mo resided. He was a wandering cultivator who had drifted here and cured countless cultivators for the Five Spider Sect Alliance. In gratitude, the Five Spider Sect Alliance gifted him this island. Any patients from the five sects that could not be cured were sent here, hoping for a last chance at survival.

The Colorful Winged Flying Car soon arrived on the island and landed among the buildings. Fang Yinxue led Luo Li, who quickly rushed into a room. At the door, Luo Li saw some familiar faces, which turned out to be members of the Luo family from Yinzhou Continent, specifically the parents of Luo Xin, who had been brought out of Yinzhou to see Luo Xin for the last time.

Everyone was in tears, and upon seeing Luo Li, they wanted to say something, but Fang Yinxue waved her hand and said, "We'll talk later. Quickly, Luo Li, quickly, maybe you can still see her one last time!"

Luo Li rushed into the room and immediately saw Luo Xin lying on the bed, which left him stunned.

At this moment, Luo Xin did not look like someone on the verge of death. Her face was radiant, and her spirit was vibrant, but this radiance was not a normal state! This was a last burst of energy, like Luo Xin was burning her life to maintain this radiance. It was similar to the situation of the fellow disciples who died after taking the Longevity Poison in Yinzhou. They looked fine, but their potential and life force had been completely drained, leaving only an empty shell.

Now, she was radiating her final beauty, but she could collapse and die at any moment.

A powerful pressure, the might of a dragon, emanated from Luo Xin, preventing her family from staying in the room. This pressure was so strong that it was visible, like a halo, illuminating the entire room. In the room, there was only an old man, holding a silver needle, continuously pricking acupoints to suppress the dragon's might.

Seeing Luo Xin, Luo Li immediately understood. Indeed, his initial guess was correct—Luo Xin had visualized a complete Black Dragon form.

At a lower realm, she could still suppress the Black Dragon visualization, but as her realm increased, it became increasingly difficult to control, like a three-year-old trying to wield a large hammer. She could not control it, and it eventually injured her, leading to a mental breakdown, where her spirit, energy, and vitality were completely drained, leaving her to wait for death. In fact, when she began cultivating the Black Dragon form on Konyuan Peak, she had already set herself on this irreversible path.

After Luo Li entered the room, Luo Xin looked at him with a dazed expression, her eyes filled with various emotions—love, guilt, hesitation, sadness, unwillingness, and affection!

Luo Li looked at Luo Xin with deep affection. As they gazed at each other, the other emotions in Luo Xin's eyes gradually faded, leaving only love and affection!

At this moment, Fang Yinxue asked the old man, "Divine Doctor Mo, can she still be saved? Even if it means losing her cultivation, as long as she can live, that's fine!"

The old man shook his head and said, "Her essence, blood, and energy are all drained. Even if a great immortal were to come, there would be no saving her. She should say her last words quickly. I can't hold the pressure much longer, and there isn't much time left."

Fang Yinxue sighed deeply, pulled the divine doctor, and left the room, leaving it to Luo Li and Luo Xin to spend their last moments together.

Luo Li slowly walked to Luo Xin's side and noticed that she was now taller than him. During this time, she had been desperately cultivating the Black Dragon form, stimulating her body to grow rapidly.

Luo Li reached out to touch Luo Xin's long hair, a gesture he used to love. Luo Xin suddenly burst into tears, hugging Luo Li tightly. For a moment, it felt like they had returned to the past, those three days of their happiest times!

They embraced each other, silent and wordless!

After a long while, Luo Xin said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said I would kill you, I'm sorry!"

Before the life-or-death battle, Luo Xin had always declared that she would be the one to kill Luo Li. At that time, she truly had the intention to kill him. If she had participated in the battle and Luo Li had been a failure, she would have killed him without hesitation!

But this never happened. In her heart, she always felt guilty, believing she had betrayed Luo Li. This was why she had always avoided him and didn't want to see him.

Luo Li smiled and said, "It's okay, it's all in the past, it's all in the past!"

Luo Xin looked up at Luo Li and suddenly said, "If I had participated in the battle, would you have already killed me?"

This was another reason why Luo Xin didn't want to see Luo Li. If she had participated in the battle, would Luo Li, who had hidden his strength, have killed her? Was Luo Li deceiving her? The girl also doubted Luo Li's love for her.

Because of this guilt and doubt, she focused all her energy on cultivation, escaping reality. Her cultivation progressed too quickly, leading to a mental breakdown, and now she was about to die, her life force nearly extinguished.

Luo Li, hearing Luo Xin's question, smiled and replied, "The past is the past, none of that matters. All that matters is that you know I love you! No matter what, we loved each other, I love you, you love me, and we were happy together. That's enough!"

Hearing this, Luo Xin sighed deeply and said, "Yes, we loved each other, I love you, you love me, and we were happy together. That's enough!"

With these words, she seemed to have lifted a heavy burden. She smiled, a smile of a thousand charms, incredibly beautiful. She looked at Luo Li, reached out to touch his cheek, and said, "Luo Li, we loved each other, that's enough. I'm going to die, you must live well, don't forget me!"

Seeing Luo Xin, Luo Li didn't know what to say, and tears streamed down his face!

Luo Xin gently caught Luo Li's tears and said, "At the moment of death, someone is crying for me, that's enough! Luo Li, I really liked the incantation you recited for He Li and the others. When I die, you must recite it for me too!"

Luo Li nodded vigorously, and Luo Xin continued, "Luo Li, you must live well, for a hundred years, a thousand years, ten thousand years, become an immortal, and live forever, don't die! Enjoy all the wonderful things we didn't get to experience!"

Luo Li couldn't remember how many people had said this to him, and an endless pressure weighed on him, but he couldn't resist. He nodded and said, "Okay, okay, I will definitely live well."

Luo Xin said, "That's good, that's good! In the future, if you meet other beautiful girls, don't forget me!"

Then she smiled playfully and said, "Since I'm going to die anyway, let me give you one last gift."

She grabbed Luo Li's right arm and bit down hard, causing blood to spurt. However, Luo Li's Black Dragon form automatically reacted, shaking her off. This slight shake was the last straw, draining Luo Xin's last bit of energy and ending her life.

Luo Xin fell, her breath fading, but she smiled at Luo Li as she died, saying, "Actually, I should have died in the battle a year ago, at your hands. Heaven let me live one more year, it's enough..."

Then she looked out, her eyes unfocused, and said, "Luo Ming, Xiao Ming, Xiao Feng, are you all here to meet me? Good, good, let's go together, to the Central Heaven World, to that legendary place, to cultivate together..."

With these words, she smiled, closed her eyes, and instantly, the Black Dragon blood in her body flew out and entered Luo Li's forehead.

Luo Xin was killed by the natural reaction of Luo Li's body, and the death spell remained. The Black Dragon blood she had cultivated was absorbed by Luo Li. This was her gift to Luo Li, using her lover's blood to end her life and giving everything she had cultivated to her lover!

Seeing this, Luo Li gently stroked Luo Xin's long hair and slowly recited:

"Dust returns to dust, earth to earth, life will end, spirit will fade, all things will perish. No matter how glorious, it all ends in a handful of yellow earth, a handful of ashes!

A hundred years of life, like a dream, where is the eternal and unchanging? In the twilight of the world, the horror is heard, but it is just a moment in time..."

Luo Xin died!

As he slowly recited, a long time passed before Luo Li realized that Luo Xin was dead!

Sadness rose infinitely in his heart. Seeing Luo Xin, who looked like she was sleeping, Luo Li thought of his father, the missing Xue Mei, the now mentally disabled Su Cai Zhen, the ancestor Xi Yi, and all those who had died because of him...

For the past year, Luo Li thought he had gradually taken control of his fate, but today, Luo Xin died in his arms, and he could do nothing, only watch her die, just like when he saw Longshou Mountain engulfed in flames on Yinzhou Continent, that feeling of helplessness and sorrow rose in his heart.

This feeling, how hateful! I don't want it! I don't want it! I don't want it!

His heart ached, really ached!

Unable to hold back, Luo Li let out a long howl, venting his pain! Ah, ah, ah, ah...

A long roar, filled with endless sorrow!

Hearing Luo Li's cry, the outside was filled with weeping, everyone knew Luo Xin was dead!

After a long time, Fang Yinxue entered the room, walked to Luo Xin's side, and said:

"Passing through a thousand flowers, not a leaf sticks to the body!

The spirit butterfly flies a thousand miles, but meets a storm.

The colorful wings break, falling by the stream.

If the mind does not scatter, the spirit remains.

The broken body will transform, and on the Double Ninth, return to the world!"

She touched Luo Xin's forehead, and a ray of spiritual light disappeared. This was the Lingdie Sect's incantation for the dead, protecting Luo Xin's soul. If she could be reborn, this protection would ensure a bit of her spirit remained, perhaps allowing her to cultivate again.

After the incantation, Fang Yinxue stood still for a long time. Luo Li suddenly stood up, grabbed Fang Yinxue, and loudly demanded, "Why, why, why did you have to do this!

You killed Luo Xin for the Butterfly-Dragon Transformation, why?"

Fang Yinxue said, "For the sect's legacy!"

Luo Li said, "Is the sect's legacy really that important?"

Fang Yinxue said, "It is! To you, the sect is just a passing guest, but to me, to Luo Xin, the sect is our home!

We laugh here, we cry here, we live here, and we die here!

This is our home, a place to shelter from the wind and rain. With it, we have today. Now it is in crisis, and it's our turn to pay the price.

The death of the ancestor Xi Yi and the destruction of Konyuan Peak caused the spiritual veins to dissipate, changing the entire energy of the Lingdie Sect. The production of spirit butterflies in the Colorful Butterfly Valley has drastically decreased. If this continues, the sect may fall out of the left path within five hundred years, becoming one of those nameless small sects.

Therefore, we must cultivate the Black Dragon form and then the Butterfly-Dragon Transformation! This is the path to survival for the Lingdie Sect. No matter how many people die, we must do this!"

Luo Li asked, "Is the entire sect relying on her alone? Why don't others cultivate? Why must it be her?"

Fang Yinxue smiled bitterly and said, "It's not just her, I am also cultivating!"

She continued, her eyes turning red, a sign of cultivating the Black Dragon form, and said, "Not everyone is as lucky as you. The ancestor Xi Yi's soul transfer failed, and you inherited everything, without having to cultivate hard!

Do you know what I've been doing these past three months? We went to the South Sea to slay a dragon, risking our lives. Ten people went, four returned. We killed a Black Dragon, extracted its essence, and refined the Black Dragon blood."

She slowly undid her back, revealing a huge scar. Even after so many days, the scar had not healed, showing how severe her injury was. She had practically come back from the dead!

She shook her head and said, "You wandering cultivators will never understand the feeling of having a home, the honor of the sect. You really don't understand!"

Luo Li sighed deeply, not expecting this. The Black Dragon form was so important to the Lingdie Sect. He said, "I don't understand the honor of the sect, but I do know how to cultivate the Black Dragon form! Why didn't you ask me?

I can tell you the method to cultivate the Black Dragon form!"

Fang Yinxue was stunned and said, "What? What did you say? Your Black Dragon form wasn't left to you by the ancestor Xi Yi after his soul transfer failed?"

Luo Li said, "I really do know. I'll tell you. The reason you failed in cultivating the Black Dragon form is that you started on the wrong path!

From the beginning, your visualization was wrong. First, you must..."

Luo Li slowly explained, revealing the secrets of his Black Dragon form cultivation, bit by bit!
