Chapter 241: The Grand Finale

  The night was already deep, and everyone had gone to rest. Tang's father and mother were also tired after a day of excitement and surprise.

  In the garden, there was only Tan An left.

  The rain was still falling, but it had turned into a fine, silent drizzle. The rain fell, but when the raindrops reached Tang An's body, they were automatically blocked by a faint green aura. It was the Wind Movement Primordial Force!

  The killing sword on Tang An's body had all condensed into that black Heavenly Dao Killing Sword. This Heavenly Dao Killing Sword was boundless in power, and even beyond Tang An's imagination. However, the price to be paid for its activation was also extremely great.

  Now the killing sword yuan in his body has been swept away, replaced by the green wind yuan force. These wind yuan forces condensed into droplets, containing pure energy, which is no less than the killing dao sword yuan. Moreover, there are more of them, and their spirituality is also more active.

  Tang An stretched out his hand, and with a surge of movement in his heart, the spiritual sword was already in his grasp. The spiritual sword emitted a cyan glow, originally a top-grade wind-attribute spiritual artifact, and now that Tang An was using it with his Wind Movement Primordial Force, its power had increased even more.

  "The killing path's origin sword cannot be used unless it is a matter of life and death, once used, the true yuan within my body will inevitably be consumed completely. For ordinary opponents, using this spiritual instrument sword is enough to deal with them."

  Thinking of this, Tang An felt that he was worrying too much. Among the top masters in the world, the most powerful ones he had seen were Li Chengfeng from Shu Mountain and Ming Ruogu from Quan Tian Jiao. However, if he were to use the killing sword within his body, facing these two men would be a 50-50 chance of winning or losing. It's worth noting that they were both peak masters who had been famous for decades!

  This world, he has already reached the pinnacle! If he continues on, he may not necessarily have any breakthroughs. He is eager to take a look at the Avenue of Heaven, and he knows that at the end of this Avenue of Heaven, there will definitely be an even broader world!

  "What are you thinking about?" Unbeknownst to him, Mu Hongyu had already stood behind him. She had been there for a while, but seeing Tang An deep in thought, she didn't make a sound.

  Tang An came back to his senses and said: "I was thinking about the Heavenly Road. What does the Heavenly Road in their mouths look like? I really want to go take a look."

  Mu Hongyu's face changed as soon as she heard the words "Tongtian Road".

  She had heard of the Tian Tian Road and knew it was a very dangerous place. Although she didn't know the specific situation of the Tian Tian Road, she had heard that Shu Mountain's predecessor had said that for thousands of years, many surprising and outstanding ancestors of Shu Mountain had entered the Great Heavenly Realm, retreated to the secret chamber, and after thirty years, they would all agree to take the Tian Tian Road together.

  For thousands of years, not a hundred or more elderly people have attempted to walk the road to heaven, but unfortunately, no one has ever returned. From then on, this heavenly road became synonymous with "deadly path".

  For thousands of years, many people have had strange encounters on the winding paths outside the Avenue of Heaven, and in most of these encounters, they acquired ancient cultivation manuals left behind by their predecessors. These manuals are precious not because of their book-like appearance, but because of a profound and indescribable idea. One doesn't even need to personally experience the realm; as long as one obtains this idea, cultivates diligently, and automatically enters the heavenly realm - it's also possible to attain the Great Heavenly Realm.

  But she may be the person who understands Tan An best in this world. She also knows that once Tan An makes a decision, it is extremely difficult to change.

  "I know you've made up your mind and it will never change. But..."

  She said to this point, her heart suddenly couldn't bear it, and her hands gently stretched over from Tang An's ribs, tightly hugging him from behind. Afraid of losing him. Her cheek was pressed against Tang An's broad back. The warmth there made her reluctant to leave.

  Tang An gently patted Mu Hongyu's hand, which was icy cold.

  "Are you worried about me? Don't worry about me. In this world, there are not many people who can hurt me now. Want to kill me? Even more impossible! They want to use me. Whether it's the Tianquan Sect or the Emperor, they all want to use me. I know all of these things. Unfortunately, they will never succeed!"

  Muhongyu's heart suddenly skipped a beat, she hugged Tang An even tighter, afraid that if she didn't hold on tight, she would lose him immediately. "Ming Ruogu said, two years later, the Tongtian Road, I hope you can walk with him together. He also said, you will definitely go. Nothing can stop you. But, can you not go? Just for me..."

  Muhongyu said, her tone already pleading. But as she spoke, she was already out of breath, and she knew that Tang An would definitely go.

  Tang An didn't respond. Mu Hongyu's face had already fallen, but she wouldn't give up and continued: "It's also for your parents... they can't bear to part with you. You've been gone for ten years, just came back, and now you want to leave again. Are you really that heartless?"

  Tang An let out a sigh, slowly pulling away Mu Hongyu's hand, turning around to look into her eyes. Her eyes were like autumn water, elegant and unparalleled, but now they were filled with worry and despair, as dry as a well.

  "Hongyu, my man is back. But you know, I'm not the same person anymore. The original Tang An who wanted to be a young master is already dead! The road of Jianghu is really too short. In just ten years, I've already reached the end. Tongtian Road, Tongtian Road, your master Yuzhenren must have mentioned it before, that place may be the biggest secret in this world. I want to go, I really want to go and see how big this world is, where the end of Tongtian Road leads to."

  The family of Mu Hongyu was a renowned and respected clan in Shu Mountain, but she had only vaguely heard others mention the "Tongtian Map" and "Tongtian Road". As for what they were, she had no idea. She only knew that it was an extremely dangerous place. Because, according to legend, among those who went there, only the founding emperor of Great Yan returned alive, bringing back with him the peerless secret manual, "Jiulong Dryuan Gong".

  This Jiulong Dry Source Skill is actually a supreme manual, and it's fundamentally impossible for him to have dreamed of the nine dragon wonders and figured it out himself. However, Murong Yu didn't know that this Jiulong Dry Source Skill was actually recorded on the Tongtian Map, and it was even a fragment.

  "Look at Tang An, her eyes reluctant to part with him. 'Don't go. Since you know they all want to use you, why do you still want to go? If you go and meet my master... I know that with your temperament, although you won't say it, you will definitely lend a hand to help. I don't want anything to happen to you...'"

  Tang An remained unmoved, saying: "You're worried that they'll take advantage of me, right? They have the Tian Tian Tu Jian, so they must know about the strange things on this Tian Tian Road. Unfortunately, there's not just one Tian Tian Tu Jian in this world! They may have it, but it's only a fragment!"

  Tang An said, "Here, the wind is blowing and the yuan force is scattered. I've scanned the surroundings and confirmed that no one is eavesdropping. So, I'll tell you a secret, Mu Hongyu." He whispered in her ear, "I have a complete map of the Heavenly Path! It can take me to the end of the Heavenly Road! I must go and see what's really there."

  When Mu Hongyu heard this, her heart skipped a beat and she felt dizzy. She had no reason to stop Tang An anymore. But then, her expression changed, and she said solemnly: "If you must go, I'll accompany you! Even if it means death, I'll still go with you!"

  Tang An's eyebrows furrowed tightly, his face turning cold and unyielding: "No way. The Tongtian Road is absolutely not a path that ordinary people can take. Without the strength of the Great Heaven Realm, entering it would be suicidal behavior, I absolutely will not permit you to go."

  Mu Hongyu still wanted to hold on, but seeing Tang An's determined expression, she could only sigh and seemed to have resigned herself to her fate.

  "When are you leaving?"

  "Two years later."

  "Will you come back after leaving?"

  Tang An raised his head and looked at the night sky. The rain had stopped, the air was fresh, mixed with the fragrance of mud.

  Taking a deep breath, Tang An continued: "I will come back, I must come back. I also can't bear to part with you."

  After finishing speaking, he turned his head around and looked at Mu Hongyu with a gentle gaze: "Next month on the fifteenth, August 15th, on the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, we will get married."
