Chapter 1202: Seizing the Opportunity

"What is his goal? Is it me?" A trace of determination appeared on Tianxin's face. If it is me he wants, let him take me; as long as the Seven Star Sect can be restored, I am willing to pay any price.

"Silly girl." Mu Lian stroked her head: "He is a powerhouse. If it is truly you he wants, that would actually be simple."

"For a woman to rely on a powerhouse is nothing, but he has already reached this level; do you think he lacks women by his side?"

"This... surely he doesn't." Tianxin quickly grasped the reason behind this: "Then what is it that he wants?"

"The next few decades will be an era of the resurgence of Spiritual Energy. The Spiritual Energy of heaven and earth will gradually fill up, and the spring for Dharma Cultivators is coming."

Mu Lian sighed and said: "And the current powers will undergo a further reshuffling. Whether we can seize this opportunity depends on this step."

"And Chen Yu also knows what the future path looks like; he is laying out his plans." Mu Lian said: "He is gathering forces precisely so that he can have more say in Dragon Breath in the future."

"But he is already so strong; does he need to lean on Dragon Breath?" Tianxin was still somewhat puzzled.

"Isn't it simpler to do things under the banner of Dragon Breath than to do them yourself?" Mu Lian smiled: "You, you are still too inexperienced in the world and simply do not understand the hearts of people in this world."

"If he helps us and lets us become the Alliance Leader of the Seven Sects and Nine Gates, our power will be greater, but in the future, we will need to maintain his status within Dragon Breath."

"If he truly helps us, then support is support; there is nothing more to say." Tianxin thought for a moment and said: "After all, this is our only chance."

"Yes, this is our only chance." Mu Lian slowly raised her head and murmured: "But do you know what kind of place Dragon Breath is? The power dynamics there are intricate and complex. It would be fine if Chen Yu can control the overall situation."

"If he cannot control it, then for us, it will likewise be a devastating disaster."

Tianxin remained in Silence. After a long time, she finally raised her head and said: "Aunt, if Chen Yu does not help us rise, how long do you think we can hold on given our current situation?"

"Ten years? Eight years?" Mu Lian shook her head with a bitter smile: "The Haoran Sect on the side is eyeing us covetously, and in the distance, there is the Dragon Elephant Sect that has long wanted to annex us."

"The Seven Sects and Nine Gates are all gearing up. Before the resurgence of Spiritual Energy, they will certainly take action. Perhaps we won't be able to hold on for long before they come up. With our current strength, we simply cannot hold on for long."

"Yes, ten or eight years, it has no meaning either. If Chen Yu can help us rise, perhaps we can find a glimmer of survival from this." Tianxin said.

Mu Lian remained in Silence. Yes, perhaps only from here can a glimmer of survival be found. If we continue to wait like this, what awaits the Seven Star Sect is likewise annihilation.

"Very well, let's take a gamble." Mu Lian said resolutely. She raised her head: "Go to his room."

"I..." Tianxin was stunned; she understood what Mu Lian meant.

"No matter what, he is still a man. For the sake of the sect, you are the only one who can pay a little." Mu Lian said.

Tianxin nodded silently; as things stood, this was the only way.

The little fox was already fast asleep. She slept on the bed, and Chen Yu had no choice but to sit to one side in Meditation. Moreover, as the girl slept, she did not forget to smack her lips, revealing a sweet smile, as if she had dreamed of something delicious in her sleep.

Just at this moment, the door slowly opened, and Tianxin walked in.

It was evident that Tianxin had dressed up meticulously, and she had changed into that red ethnic minority attire, wearing the clothes of an ordinary girl.

She was already extremely beautiful to begin with, and wearing the red dress gave her a certain charm. Now that she had changed her outfit, it was even more eye-catching.

"Something the matter?" Chen Yu raised his head and glanced at her.

"I want to chat with you." Tianxin said.

The two walked out, and in the pavilion on the side of the cliff, a pot of wine was placed on the stone table.

It was the Osmanthus Wine unique to the Seven Star Sect, brewed from the osmanthus flowers taken from that three-hundred-year-old osmanthus tree. The air was filled with the fragrance of osmanthus.

"Good wine." Upon smelling the wine, Chen Yu's spirits could not help but lift. He clinked glasses with Tianxin and then drank it in one gulp.

This wine was indeed excellent; it left a lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth, making one want to savor it endlessly.

"The production of this wine is only a few jars a year. This jar is old wine that has been stored for twenty years. I usually don't bring it out for people to drink." Tianxin smiled slightly.

"It's so late, do you have something on your mind?" Chen Yu asked.

"I couldn't sleep, so I came over to chat with you." Tianxin toyed with the wine cup in her hand: "It's been so many years, and this is the first time I've taken the initiative to invite a member of the opposite sex out."

"The Seven Star Sect doesn't usually have any dealings with other sects, right?" Chen Yu said.

"No. The area around Shushan stretches for over a thousand miles, and the various sects within it all have their own ulterior motives." Tianxin shook her head and said: "Usually, we are too busy guarding against them to even think about it; how could we possibly have dealings with them?"

"So these years, your mountain gate has been in a semi-closed state?" Chen Yu asked.

"Most of the time, yes. This place is not like the world of ordinary people." Tianxin shook her head and drank another cup of wine: "Actually, sometimes I really envy ordinary people."

"Although ordinary people don't have so many profound means and abilities, and although they are sometimes very hardworking, at the very least, they are not like us, facing danger at any moment."

"The world of Dharma Cultivators is just like this. Since you chose this path in the beginning, you must walk it without looking back now." Chen Yu smiled and said: "If you were asked to be an ordinary person now, would you be willing?"

"Yearning is one thing, but I am still not willing to be an ordinary person." Tianxin smiled slightly: "Because our way of thinking is different from theirs; we want to pursue things of a higher level."

"For example, the Heavenly Dao?" Chen Yu smiled slightly.

"Yes, the Heavenly Dao. What we pursue is a breakthrough in realm, yearning to be like those great beings who can avoid Reincarnation." Tianxin said: "If you really asked me to be an ordinary person now, living that kind of life where you can see the end at a single glance, I wouldn't be able to live it."

"Yes, so sometimes a person's Life is fixed from the moment they are born; it's not something you can change just because you want to." Chen Yu smiled slightly.

"Just like you now, if you were to live the life of an ordinary person, you could say you wouldn't have to worry about anything, but would you really do it?"

"No." Tianxin drank another cup of wine: "Sometimes, I just envy them a little, but if I were really asked to do it, I definitely wouldn't be able to adapt. Just as you said, a person's Life is fixed from the moment they are born; it cannot be changed."

"You didn't come here just to have a heart-to-heart with me, did you?" Chen Yu turned his head and glanced at her.
