Cultivation: The Heaven's Fated Useless Genius-Chapter 99 – Parting sorrow
The room was silent.
Bai Yu paused, seemingly deep in thought for a long time, and then slowly said, "There is one way, but..."
It seemed there was a turning point, but Bai Yu hesitated, as if there was something difficult to express.
Gu Feng knew he was under Gu Xuanyuan's command and had to follow his arrangements. He quickly said to Gu Xuanyuan, "Thirteenth Uncle, Fang Feixue and I have long pledged our lives to each other. If there is a way to save her, please speak plainly."
"Sigh! Brat, you're just like your father back then!"
Gu Xuanyuan shook his head helplessly with his hands behind his back.
He could see the underhanded tricks between Gu Feng and Fang Feixue, but he didn't want Gu Feng to take risks for her.
However, seeing Gu Feng's deep affection for Fang Feixue, he knew that if something happened to her, it would be a lifelong regret for Gu Feng, which would not be beneficial for his future cultivation.
After a while, Gu Xuanyuan seemed to finally make a decision and coldly ordered, "Bai Yu, tell this kid. Otherwise, he'll never recover in his life."
Bai Yu acknowledged and revealed the only way to save Fang Feixue.
It is said that in the ancient times, Cang Lan Star was a chaotic, lifeless place.
A meteor from the heavens fell into the Boundless Sea, breaking apart and forming the current four continents.
Each continent has a supreme ruler.
They possess immense cultivation power, passed down through generations, ruling over all living beings on Cang Lan Star.
The Eastern God, Western Buddha, Southern Demon, and Northern Gu.
These four supremes, besides having immense cultivation power and deep foundations, each hold a world treasure representing the Great Dao rules of Cang Lan Star.
They can use these world treasures to reverse the Great Dao, transcend life and death, and achieve the impossible.
Fang Feixue's last hope lies with the Divine King of the Eastern Region.
If they can persuade the Divine King to use his world treasure to help Fang Feixue rebuild her body, she might recover.
But this is easier said than done.
The Divine King of the Eastern Region is the ruler of the entire Eastern Region. It's difficult for ordinary cultivators to even meet him, let alone borrow his world treasure—it's practically a fairy tale.
Gu Feng remained silent. Although this method seemed hopeless, he had to try.
"Thirteenth Uncle, could you take me to the Domain Palace?" Gu Feng suddenly asked.
Gu Xuanyuan laughed wryly, shaking his head, "Don't be silly! I've worked at the Domain Palace for years, and I've only seen the Divine King a few times. What good would it do for you to go? Asking to borrow the world treasure is even more ridiculous! Give up!"
"Not necessarily."
Bai Yu suddenly said, "The Grand Heavenly Contest, held once every hundred years, is about to begin. According to tradition, the chosen one who wins the contest will be granted an audience with the Divine King and can request a treasure as a reward. Why not strive for it, and then you can plead with the Divine King to save Miss Fang."
After pondering for a moment, Gu Xuanyuan turned and stroked his chin, thoughtfully saying, "Hmm, it might be worth a try..."
Gu Feng was overjoyed, finally seeing a glimmer of hope.
The Grand Heavenly Contest, a competition of cultivation power held once every hundred years by the Divine King of the Eastern Region for the young talents of the Eastern Region.
It's rumored to be extremely dangerous, but winning it brings immense benefits.
Gu Feng didn't care for spirit stones or cultivation artifacts, nor for power or status. All he wanted was for the Divine King to help Fang Feixue rebuild her body!
Yet, throughout the Eastern Region, there are countless young chosen ones, including formidable talents like Murong Ze and Ye Tianchen.
This path, though hopeful, is fraught with obstacles and dangers.
In past contests, many extraordinary talents have fallen during the battles.
For Fang Feixue, Gu Feng had no choice but to forge ahead. He was different from others; he had a reason he couldn't afford to fail.
Nodding, Gu Feng had made up his mind. He stood up, bowed to Bai Yu, and said slowly, "Thank you, Immortal General, for unfreezing Feixue..."
"You're welcome," Bai Yu replied, handing Gu Feng a white jade bottle, "This is the Cold Soul Bottle. It can preserve the spiritual soul from the influence of the Great Dao. You can seal Miss Fang's Elemental Infant in it to keep her spiritual soul safe."
Taking the Cold Soul Bottle, Gu Feng bowed deeply again to express his gratitude.
Bai Yu pointed with his hand, releasing a warm glow.
The layer of frost on Fang Feixue's body gradually melted away, and a hint of color returned to her pale face.
Gu Feng turned and gently picked her up, immediately flying away from the cave dwelling without another word.
Bai Yu was worried that Gu Feng might do something foolish and wanted to follow, but Gu Xuanyuan stopped him.
"Let the young couple have some time alone," Gu Xuanyuan sighed, shaking his head, "Men need to go through some trials. Let them be..."
...
Racing against the setting sun, Gu Feng carried Fang Feixue across half of the Northern Wilderness border.
Finally, he found a cliff full of flowers.
Landing, Gu Feng gently set Fang Feixue down, leaning her against a towering tree.
Holding her gently in his arms, Gu Feng sat on the ground, quietly admiring the beautiful scenery before him.
As the sun set, the two of them faced the sunset, embracing each other among the flowers.
After a while, Fang Feixue slowly opened her eyes, saw Gu Feng beside her, and smiled slightly, snuggling closer to him.

"Awake?" Gu Feng affectionately glanced down at her.
Nodding, Fang Feixue quietly stayed in Gu Feng's arms, gazing at the distant sunset, and sighed, "What a beautiful sunset..."
"Yes..."
Gu Feng looked at the afterglow of the sunset and playfully said, "Much prettier than you."
Fang Feixue pouted, wanting to give Gu Feng a playful punch, but she couldn't muster any strength.
"My dear Young Master Gu, your mouth is as annoying as ever..."
Gu Feng nodded, forcing a smile, holding back tears, and made a silly face, teasing, "Isn't that why you like me..."
"Yes, I like that you're always so unserious..." Fang Feixue said, pressing her cheek closer to Gu Feng, knowing she would soon lose consciousness.
"Gu Feng, I'm tired... so tired..."
Gu Feng gritted his teeth, not daring to look down at her, and simply said, "Well, if you're tired, take a nap. Don't worry, no matter how difficult it is, I'll make sure you're okay..."
Choking up, Gu Feng took a deep breath and smiled, "When you wake up, I'll be right here by your side. Trust me, who am I? I'm the top Sequence of Heroic Spirit City! Who can outplay me? I'm quite capable..."
Tears had long soaked his collar, but Gu Feng tried not to sob, only making bold promises...
"Yes, I trust you..."
Fang Feixue remained nestled in his arms, slowly raising her hand to gently brush Gu Feng's nose...
Feeling the last warmth on his nose, Fang Feixue's raised hand gradually turned into countless stars.
A gentle breeze blew, and the sea of flowers by the cliff swayed, countless petals dancing with the stars into the distance.
"Gu Feng, take care of yourself when I'm not around..."
The sensation in his arms slowly disappeared, accompanied by the flower rain and stars dancing in the wind.
A golden Elemental Infant appeared in Gu Feng's arms, quietly sleeping, peaceful and serene.
Quickly taking out the Cold Soul Bottle, Gu Feng immediately sealed the Elemental Infant inside, carefully placing the bottle deep within the white jade Ring Storage.
Sitting alone in the sea of flowers for a long time, Gu Feng had already wiped away his tears, his mind blank, just wanting to be alone for a while.
A streak of light flew over, and Hou Yixiao landed behind Gu Feng, grinning.
"Sequence, you're not thinking of jumping off the cliff, are you?"
Seeing Gu Feng's lifeless expression, Hou Yixiao worriedly muttered.
"What are you doing here?" Gu Feng suddenly asked.
Startled, Hou Yixiao advised, "Sequence, please don't do anything rash."
"Nonsense!"
Jumping up, Gu Feng kicked him, scolding, "You fat fool, am I that melodramatic?"
"No, of course not, it's my mistake, my mistake!"
Hou Yixiao chuckled awkwardly, waving his hands.
Gu Feng pursed his lips, having already adjusted his mindset.
Fang Feixue wasn't dead; her Elemental Infant was still intact in his Ring Storage.
She was only temporarily gone!
As long as he won the Grand Heavenly Contest, Gu Feng could ask the Divine King for help, using the world treasure to rebuild Fang Feixue's body.
If the Divine King refused, he wasn't afraid.
It would just take more time, more tricks, and at worst, he'd take the Divine King's place and seize the world treasure for himself!
It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from ".
In the past, Gu Feng was lazy and unwilling to compete.
But for his father Gu Liantian's expectations, and for his own comfort and better life, he had to compete!
Now, Gu Feng had another reason to keep fighting!
Gods block, kill gods; Buddhas block, kill Buddhas; accumulate strength, step by step reach the pinnacle of this cultivation world, build a capital empire, and dismantle the power structure of this world!
That's what Gu Feng intended to do!
With this thought, he immediately regained his fighting spirit.
Looking at Hou Yixiao, who was still chuckling, Gu Feng remembered the fat man's contributions and softened his tone slightly, asking, "So, what brings you here?"
Hou Yixiao bowed and replied, "Thirteenth Master noticed you hadn't returned for a long time and sent me to find you. He said it's about time, and we should prepare to return to Heroic Spirit City."
Nodding, Gu Feng gazed towards the Eastern Region, filled with mixed emotions.
In Heroic Spirit City, there were still elders and chosen ones waiting for him to deal with!
