LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 269
Chapter 269: How Can Man Defeat Heaven
“Wait!” Tang Tianlong directly called out to stop Tang Shanshui, who was about to leave.
“Do you have anything else to say?”
Tang Shanshui frowned and turned back, asking impatiently.
“If I told you I could help you break through to the peak of Man and Heaven realm, would you be willing to help me?” Tang Tianlong said with a confident smile, looking as if he had victory in his grasp.
He believed that the other party wouldn’t refuse him, after all, Tang Shanshui had been stuck at the late stage of the Celestial level for nearly twenty years.
If he couldn’t break through soon, his physical condition would only deteriorate. Even though he possessed tremendous skills, he was still just a mortal.
Man cannot defeat Heaven. If he wanted to break this deadlock, he had to quickly improve his cultivation. He needed to break through to the legendary realm of Shattering Void before he turns two hundred, thus extending his life by another hundred years.
This was why those old martial artists rarely showed themselves. They usually hid away in seclusion, focusing solely on cultivation, striving to break through their limits to gain more years of life.
“You have a way to help me break through?” Tang Shanshui turned to look at Tang Tianlong, asking with some interest.
He didn’t doubt the other party’s words. After all, when he was on the verge of death, it was Tang Tianlong who pulled him back from the gates of hell.
“Of course, Elder. Do you still not trust me?” Tang Tianlong said with a smile. He wasn’t lying.
His system’s shop did indeed have pills that could help one improve their cultivation. Moreover, they had no side effects and could instantly lead to a breakthrough.
However, they required a lot of points. Currently, he only had enough points to redeem one. But the system had given him a task today: to kill Jiang Che, which would reward him with 2000 points!
This was the highest reward he had seen in three years since crossing over. So, he was determined to kill Jiang Che!
“I need to think about it…” Tang Shanshui said, sitting back down.
He couldn’t deny that Tang Tianlong’s offer was very tempting. He had dreamed of breaking through to the peak of Man and Heaven realm for years. Now that the opportunity was right in front of him, how could he refuse?
“Of course, Elder. Take your time to consider.”Tang Tianlong said with a smile, pouring a cup of tea for him.
He wasn’t in a hurry. He believed that Tang Shanshui wouldn’t refuse him. Tang Shanshui had been stuck at the late stage of Man and Heaven realm for so many years. There was no way he could resist this temptation. ………
“Do you have a plan?” After a long period of contemplation, Tang Shanshui looked up and asked Tang Tianlong.
His question indicated that he agreed to the proposal but wanted to hear Tang Tianlong’s plan first. Assassinating Jiang Che was no small matter. It had to be done flawlessly.
If even a hint of evidence was left behind, it would invite endless retaliation from the Jiang family. But Tang Tianlong’s offer was irresistible. If he couldn’t break through soon, his body would start deteriorating in twenty years.
By then, no matter how high his martial arts skills were, they would be useless. This was a natural law. Everyone ages and dies unless one continually breaks their limits and keeps advancing.
“Jiang Che doesn’t know that you are in Tianhai City. And he currently has no experts around him. Elder, you can go and kill him tonight!”
“If we wait a few more days and he reacts, we won’t have another chance!” Tang Tianlong said seriously, his expression extremely solemn.
He knew they couldn’t hide this from Jiang Che for long, so the sooner, the better.
“What are the cultivation levels of the experts around him? And what is his own cultivation level?” Tang Shanshui took a deep breath to calm himself and asked.
“He has an expert at the early stage of Man and Heaven level by his side. He himself is at the mid-Man and Heaven realm.” Tang Tianlong recalled the last time at Qingteng Villa when Jiang Che’s displayed cultivation seemed to be at the mid stage.
So, he was sure that Jiang Che’s level was middle stage of Man and Heaven. No matter how monstrous Jiang Che was, he couldn’t have reached the late stage at twenty, right?
In martial arts, each step is a new level!
As one’s cultivation grows higher, breaking through requires not only deep internal energy but also constant self-realization.
Without self-realization, even with deep internal energy, one couldn’t break through, especially at the stage of unity with heaven.
Otherwise, Tang Shanshui would have broken through long ago with his twenty years of accumulated internal energy. The lack of breakthrough was due to a lack of realization.
Such realizations are rare and different for everyone, so they can’t be passed down orally. How far one can go in martial arts depends entirely on their own fortune.
“Are you sure he has no experts around him?”
Tang Shanshui looked at Tang Tianlong skeptically, not quite trusting his words.
“No, only that old man at the early Man and Heaven stage!” Tang Tianlong said confidently. He had investigated these matters thoroughly beforehand.
“Then wait for my message.” Tang Shanshui gave Tang Tianlong a deep look and left the private room.
He needed to prepare the night clothes and other tools required for the assassination tonight. Watching Tang Shanshui’s departing figure, a mad smile curled up at the corners of Tang Tianlong’s mouth, his face looking somewhat hideous.
“Jiang Che! Let’s see how you escape this time!!”
