………………………………I am a pure dividing line……………………………………

Not far from Dasha Pass, Zhao Hao and his group suddenly saw two white eagles in the sky.

Yang Guo's expression changed slightly.

"Are these the white eagles raised by Guo Jing and Huang Rong?" Zhao Hao asked.

Yang Guo nodded, his expression somewhat unnatural, "The young miss of the Guo family and the Wu brothers are nearby."

He had no good feelings towards these three people. When he was a child on Peach Blossom Island, he was often bullied by them.

However, they were old acquaintances he hadn't seen for a long time. Meeting old friends in a foreign land, he now felt a mix of emotions.

Especially since he would soon meet Guo Jing and Huang Rong. Even now, Yang Guo had not decided how to face them.

"They are just three minor figures. Yang Guo, in the future, your interactions with them will decrease, and you will gradually become people from two different worlds. There's nothing worth worrying about," Zhao Hao said.

Yang Guo nodded. After going through many trials, he was no longer the little boy who could be bullied on Peach Blossom Island.

Compared to Guo Fu and the Wu brothers, who grew up in a sheltered environment, Yang Guo had lived a different life.

More brutal, more real, and more exciting.

Their futures would be vastly different.

Outside Dasha Pass, in a dilapidated land temple.

A man and two women were devoutly offering incense.

"Land God, please bless the Heroic Assembly to proceed smoothly." After offering the incense, the three turned around, and their faces came into view for Zhao Hao and his group.

"Guo Fu is indeed a beauty. Yang Guo, if you are interested, I can arrange for Guo Jing to marry her to you. I don't think Guo Jing would refuse," Zhao Ling'er suddenly said.

With their martial arts skills, even if they stared at Guo Fu and the others without restraint, the three's limited skills and the distance meant they wouldn't be discovered.

"Princess, don't joke. Yang Guo has no intention of getting married yet," Yang Guo quickly said.

He had seen Guo Fu's appearance. The spoiled little girl from years ago had indeed grown into a beautiful woman.

However, not everyone in this world is rendered immobile by the sight of a beauty.

Childhood memories made Yang Guo keep his distance from Guo Fu. Besides, he had no plans to get married now.

At this moment, Zhao Hao gave Zhongxin a strange look.

"Zhongxin, what's wrong?" Zhao Hao asked.

"Ah, nothing," Zhongxin was taken aback and replied.

"Why did your heartbeat suddenly speed up?" Zhao Hao frowned.

When Zhao Hao said this, Zhao Ling'er, Yang Guo, and Zhongxin were all shocked.

"Brother, have your martial arts reached this level?" Zhao Ling'er asked in surprise.

A feather cannot be added, a fly cannot land, and the autumn wind cannot move without you sensing it. When martial arts reach a certain level, these things happen naturally.

Going further, one gains a deeper understanding of the world and all its existence.

Thus, even at a great distance, a powerful martial artist can sense the presence of others.

Now, Zhao Hao's performance was undoubtedly a step further.

Without showing any emotion, he could sense a person's heartbeat and even their breathing rate. This level of detailed observation indicated that Zhao Hao had advanced to a realm beyond the understanding of ordinary people.

Only martial artists like Zhao Ling'er and Zhongxin could truly appreciate the terror of this realm.

"The human body contains many treasures waiting to be unlocked. In comparison, the pursuit of mere combat power is inferior. Ling'er, remember, even if you become an ultimate master, the top of the world, it will only bring you a hundred years of glory, which is not worth mentioning. Focusing on unlocking the treasures within and pursuing the fundamental improvement of life is what a true seeker of the Way should do. In this world, all martial artists are inferior. It's a pity and a shame," Zhao Hao shook his head.

"Brother, everyone has their own aspirations and cannot be forced. Some people pursue glory in this life, not everyone has such lofty ambitions like you," Zhao Ling'er said.

"You're right, everyone has their own path and cannot be forced," Zhao Hao said.

Some people aspire to be stars, shining eternally. Others are determined to be meteors, burning themselves to achieve a moment of brilliance.

Stars may last longer, but when a meteor streaks across the sky, even the stars pale in comparison.

Essentially, there is no right or wrong, no strong or weak.

Just like Zhang Sanfeng, a great master revered by all.

But at the same age, he was not as accomplished as Yang Guo, or even Guo Jing.

He took one step at a time, always moving slowly but steadily.

By the time his martial arts were complete, there was no one in the world who could match him, but by then, half of his life had already passed.

Yang Guo and Guo Jing both reached the peak of their lives around the age of forty, becoming the ultimate masters of their time.

While Zhang Sanfeng eventually achieved even greater heights, it took him twice as long as Yang Guo and Guo Jing to reach his peak.

From the results, Zhang Sanfeng's achievements were undoubtedly greater.

But in their respective life journeys, Guo Jing pursued his ideals and served his country and people, dying in Xiangyang and leaving a legacy for future generations.

Yang Guo, after a life of hardship and辜负无数芳心, ultimately did not betray his reputation as a hero. His battle outside Xiangyang became legendary, and he spent his life with his beloved, the Divine Carver.

Their lives were not perfect, but they were legendary.

They pursued their ideals and had no regrets.

And Zhang Sanfeng, at the age of a hundred, stood alone in the clouds, looking around and finding no equal in the world.

But in the best years of his life, the best woman he ever met was no longer there.

Even though his achievements surpassed the man she loved, in her memory, Zhang Sanfeng was always just a little brother, while her big brother was the true hero, unmatched in the world.

It cannot be said that she lacked discernment; sometimes, being a step behind means being a lifetime behind.

Life is a choice, and everyone must pay the price for their choices.

Every strong person standing at the peak has a past unknown to others and hidden heartaches.

But ultimately, it is their own choice.

Strength is often relative.

Perfect solutions exist only in fantasies.

If Zhao Hao simply pursued combat power, with his knowledge of various plots and his far superior insight, as well as his god-like ability, becoming the top of the world would be much easier than it is now.

But Zhao Hao chose another path.

Even if it would take much more time and the road would be much more rugged.

Some prices must be paid.

To wear the crown, one must bear its weight.
