Chapter 133 The Sublimation of Love



Chapter 133 The Sublimation of Love

"Telepathic" skills? Gao Xingchen and Nan Li exchanged glances, and each saw the eagerness in the other's eyes. In the path of cultivation, state of mind and strength complement each other. Elder Li's proposal undoubtedly opened a door to a wider world for them.

"Disciples are willing to give it a try." The two answered in unison, with a hint of anticipation and an indescribable excitement in their tone.

Elder Li nodded with satisfaction, took out an ancient book from his bosom, slowly opened it, pointed to one of the pages and said: "This set of exercises requires two people to communicate with each other's minds, use their own spiritual power as a guide, and build a spiritual bridge in the sea of consciousness. When practicing, you must put aside distracting thoughts and feel the existence of each other with your whole body and mind..."

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li followed Elder Li's instructions, sat cross-legged, and looked at each other. As Elder Li muttered something, a mysterious aura flowed between the two. Gao Xingchen stared into Nan Li's deep eyes, as if he saw the softness and fragility hidden deep in her heart; Nan Li also felt Gao Xingchen's burning gaze, the sincerity and love contained in that gaze, which gradually melted her originally cold heart.

The two slowly closed their eyes and immersed their minds in the sea of consciousness. According to the technique, they each released a trace of spiritual power and approached each other cautiously. The moment the spiritual power touched, a wonderful feeling surged into their hearts, as if an invisible thread tightly connected them.

In Gao Xingchen's sea of consciousness, a vast and boundless starry sky appeared, with stars twinkling and dazzling. He saw Nan Li's dream, a world without killing and hatred, where people lived and worked in peace and contentment, with happy smiles on their faces. Gao Xingchen's heart moved, it turned out that Nan Li, who seemed cold and ruthless, also longed for warmth and light deep in his heart.

In Nanli's sea of consciousness, there was a world of ice and snow, with cold winds and flying snowflakes. She saw Gao Xingchen's wish, that he hoped to protect his loved ones and make them happy forever. Nanli felt warm in her heart, as she had always thought that Gao Xingchen was just a naive and impulsive boy, but she had never expected that he also had such a deep affectionate side.

Time passed quietly during the practice, and the two wandered in each other's sea of consciousness, sharing each other's dreams and wishes, and also got to know each other's inner world more deeply. The distance between their hearts was infinitely shortened at this moment, and an indescribable feeling spread in their hearts...

At this moment, Gao Xingchen felt a familiar warm current approaching. He opened his eyes and saw Xiao Hei lying obediently beside them, looking at them curiously with a pair of black eyes.

"It seems that we need a special partner to join our practice." Gao Xingchen looked at Xiao Hei with a meaningful smile on his face. Xiao Hei seemed to feel Gao Xingchen's call, wagging his tail excitedly and jumping into Gao Xingchen's arms. He rubbed Gao Xingchen's cheek affectionately, and his warm breath sprayed on his neck, itching and bringing an indescribable sense of intimacy.

"It seems that Xiao Hei also wants to join our practice." Nan Li looked at the harmonious scene of man and beast in front of her, and a gentle smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of her mouth. Her cold face in the past now seemed like the first melting of spring snow, revealing a touching warmth.

Elder Li stroked his beard and smiled meaningfully, "Everything has its own spirit. Xiao Hei has been with you day and night, so he can naturally feel the mystery of your cultivation. Perhaps, he can even help you on your road to cultivation."

After that, Elder Li taught Gao Xingchen and Nan Li the method of controlling the spirit beast's mind. The two followed the method and connected their spiritual power with Xiao Hei. A magical thing happened. Xiao Hei's eyes, which were originally as dark as ink, were now twinkling with stars. It turned around excitedly, and seemed to be extremely excited about this new power.

The training continued. This time, with Xiao Hei's participation, Gao Xingchen and Nan Li felt an unprecedented sense of ease and joy. Xiao Hei's pure soul, like a clear spring, washed away the fatigue and haze deep in their hearts.

As night fell, the sky was filled with stars. Gao Xingchen and Nanli sat side by side on the top of the mountain, with Xiao Hei nestled at their feet. The man and the beast quietly admired the vast starry sky.

"Xingchen, do you think we will be together forever?" Nanli looked at the sky full of stars and asked softly, with a hint of imperceptible uneasiness in his tone.

Gao Xingchen held Nan Li's hand tightly and said firmly: "Of course, I swear, no matter what happens in the future, I will always stay by your side and never leave you!"

Nan Li looked at Gao Xingchen with emotion, a sparkle in the corner of her eyes, "Me too, Xingchen, I love you, more than anyone else!"

The moonlight sprinkled like silver rays, stretching the figures of the two people exceptionally slender. They made an eternal vow under the starry sky. At this moment, the heaven and earth were witnesses, the sun and the moon were testimonies, their love was destined to compose a moving legend in this star field.

However, the gears of fate never stopped turning. In the dark, a pair of eyes full of jealousy and resentment were staring at them intently. That cold gaze seemed to tear them apart alive... After Fairy Zhou learned of their vows, her heart was filled with resentment and she decided to take more extreme measures to destroy their happiness...

Fairy Zhou hid in the dark, watching the sweetness between Gao Xingchen and Nan Li, and the flames of jealousy almost burned her to death. She bit her lower lip tightly, letting her nails dig deep into her palms, and she didn't feel any pain. Why, why can Nan Li get such deep affection from Gao Xingchen, while she has to endure endless loneliness and neglect?

"You can never have what I can't have!" There was a fierce flash in Fairy Zhou's eyes. She decided to take advantage of Gao Xingchen's weakness of caring about the world and fabricated lies in front of him to sow discord between him and Nan Li.

The next day, Gao Xingchen was practicing when he heard a hurried knock on the door. He opened the door and found Fairy Zhou standing outside, looking pale and panicked.

"Fairy Zhou, what happened?" Gao Xingchen asked with concern.

Fairy Zhou took a deep breath and pretended to be calm and said, "Gao Xingchen, I have no intention of disturbing you and Miss Nanli, but I discovered a shocking secret that concerns the safety of the Nine Star Realm, so I have to tell you!"

Gao Xingchen's heart tightened, and he quickly invited Fairy Zhou into the house to ask about the whole story. Fairy Zhou, with tears in her eyes, accused Nan Li of coming from a mysterious organization that attempted to subvert the Nine Stars Realm, and that Nan Li approached Gao Xingchen only to steal his trust and power, and ultimately to achieve the goal of controlling the entire star domain.

Although Gao Xingchen had no doubts about Nan Li, Fairy Zhou's words were so certain that he could not help but be shaken. He suppressed his inner uneasiness, pretended to be calm and thanked Fairy Zhou, and promised to investigate the matter thoroughly.

After Fairy Zhou left, Gao Xingchen's heart seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar. He tried hard to recall every detail of his time with Nan Li, but he could not connect her with the evil organization. However, Fairy Zhou's accusation was too real for him to completely ignore.

Gao Xingchen decided to investigate secretly. He found Elder Li and told him all his doubts. After listening, Elder Li frowned and thought for a moment. He reminded Gao Xingchen: "People's hearts are hard to predict. Be careful. Don't hurt the relationship between you and Miss Nanli because of a momentary suspicion."

Gao Xingchen nodded solemnly. He knew that he had the responsibility of protecting the Nine Star Realm, but he also understood that love should not be betrayed. He had to find out the truth as soon as possible, clear Nan Li's name, and give himself an explanation.

At the same time, Nan Li also noticed Gao Xingchen's abnormality. She keenly felt that there was an invisible haze shrouding them, and the source of this haze seemed to point to Fairy Zhou...

Nan Li did not choose to confront Gao Xingchen directly. She knew that Fairy Zhou was full of tricks. If she acted rashly, it would only make Gao Xingchen more suspicious. She decided to retreat and give Gao Xingchen enough space to investigate the truth.

That day, Gao Xingchen found Nanli, and there was a subtle alienation in his tone: "Nanli, do you have any explanation for what Fairy Zhou said?"

Nan Li looked calm and said calmly: "I believe that those who are innocent will be innocent. If you don't believe me, no matter how much I explain, it will be useless."

Gao Xingchen's heart seemed to be stabbed by a needle. Nan Li's calmness made him even more irritated: "Why don't you want to explain? Are you really..."

"That's enough!" Nan Li interrupted Gao Xingchen abruptly, with disappointment in her eyes. "You would rather trust an outsider than me? I thought the friendship between us was indestructible, but it seems I overestimated it."

Nan Li finished speaking and turned to leave, but was stopped by Gao Xingchen: "It's not that I don't believe you, I just... I just need time to find out the truth."

"The truth? The truth is right in front of you, but you turn a blind eye to it!" Nan Li shook off Gao Xingchen's hand, her eyes reddened, "Gao Xingchen, I'm very disappointed in you."

Nan Li's determination hurt Gao Xingchen's heart. He wanted to explain, but found that any words seemed pale and powerless. He could only watch Nan Li leave, and the uneasiness and guilt in his heart tightly entangled him like a vine.

Fairy Zhou was secretly delighted to see that her plan to alienate the two had worked. She deliberately appeared in front of Gao Xingchen, pretending to be pitiful, to win Gao Xingchen's sympathy and pity. Although Gao Xingchen was skeptical about Fairy Zhou's words, he could not deny that Fairy Zhou's appearance did fill the emptiness in his heart after Nan Li left.

However, the truth will eventually come to light. When Gao Xingchen was alone with Fairy Zhou, he accidentally discovered the token of the evil organization she was wearing. The truth was revealed. It turned out that Fairy Zhou was the real mastermind. She took advantage of Gao Xingchen's kindness and love for Nan Li and wove a huge lie in an attempt to kill Nan Li and eventually control Gao Xingchen.

Anger and regret intertwined, Gao Xingchen finally saw the true face of Zhou Xianzi. He made a prompt decision to break up with Zhou Xianzi. Zhou Xianzi was so angry that she revealed her true face and killed Gao Xingchen.

At the critical moment, Nan Li arrived in time and fought side by side with Gao Xingchen. The two stood back to back and tacitly resisted Zhou Xianzi's attack. After experiencing betrayal and suspicion, their love and trust for each other became stronger. At the critical moment of life and death, they finally realized that only each other was their strongest backing.

In the end, Gao Xingchen and Nan Li joined forces to completely defeat Fairy Zhou. Looking at Fairy Zhou's embarrassed escape, Gao Xingchen felt mixed emotions. He felt ashamed of his stupidity and slowness, and cherished his relationship with Nan Li even more.

"Nanli, I'm sorry, I..." Gao Xingchen wanted to apologize, but Nanli gently covered his lips.

"You don't have to say anything, I understand." Tears flashed in Nan Li's eyes, but there was a happy smile on her lips, "I believe in you, just like you believe in me."

Gao Xingchen hugged Nan Li tightly, feeling her body temperature, and his heart finally calmed down. He knew that his love with Nan Li had withstood the test and became more unbreakable. However, they did not know that a greater crisis was quietly approaching...

In the distant sky, a huge cloud of fire rolled over, and in the cloud of fire, an evil figure loomed, emitting a suffocating and terrifying atmosphere. Gao Xingchen and Nan Li looked at this scene, and an ominous premonition rose in their hearts...
