As she spoke, her remaining soul suddenly erupted with a powerful force, a true force of love.
Although Li Chengfeng was not the one who directly killed her, she was willing to give this power to Li Chengfeng.
Although this power was not enough to greatly increase Li Chengfeng's strength, it gave him a special understanding and power, instantly elevating his strength by a level.
He had originally entered the sect in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, but now he had suddenly advanced to the peak of the early stage of Foundation Establishment.
As long as he secluded himself for a period of time, he would definitely be able to break through his current realm and move towards a higher level.
And all of this was thanks to the special power that Mei Wenxiu gave him before her death.
This made the people below the stage astonished and inexplicable. They couldn't understand how Li Chengfeng and Mei Wenxiu hadn't even cultivated together, and had only spent seven days together, yet Senior Sister Mei Wenxiu had actually fallen in love with this guy. How was this possible?
Could this be the power of the 'Partiality' cultivation method? Even Cheng Dingxiang couldn't believe it. She didn't expect that Mei Wenxiu would fall in love with Li Chengfeng, who had only spent a short seven days with her. What exactly was going on? What kind of magic did this man possess that could make Mei Wenxiu so infatuated?
Cheng Dingxiang walked up to Li Chengfeng and said to him, "I really underestimated you. Now you are my cultivation partner. Do you have any objections? If you have any objections, we will have to fight."
Li Chengfeng shook his head and said indifferently, "I have no objections. My heart is set on the Dao, and it doesn't matter to me who I become a cultivation partner with."
Cheng Dingxiang nodded with satisfaction. She had finally realized her dream, successfully killed Mei Wenxiu, and became Li Chengfeng's cultivation partner.
The surrounding people also breathed a sigh of relief. The ultimate winner this time was undoubtedly Cheng Dingxiang.
However, Li Chengfeng was very clear in his heart that if he had taken action to save Mei Wenxiu, he would have rewritten her fate, but his own fate would also have been skewed as a result, and many unknown crises would be waiting for him.
Therefore, he chose not to take action and would not casually rewrite the fate of others.
Changing fate against the heavens was not an easy task. What he wanted to change was his own fate.
He always felt that the pit that Xuanwu had dug for him this time would definitely not be so simple.
If it was just to attract him with the cultivation method and then catch him within the sect, then it would not be in line with Xuanwu's style.
There must be a great hidden secret buried within this, which made Li Chengfeng worried.
He hadn't found the other party's flaw yet, so he could only hope that the longer he stayed in the sect and the more information he obtained, the more he would be able to gradually see where the other party's flaw was.
Now that life and death had been decided, the formation of the Life and Death Stage also disappeared.
The two walked down the Life and Death Stage, and the surrounding disciples gathered around, their eyes filled with envy and jealousy as they looked at Li Chengfeng.
However, they all congratulated Cheng Dingxiang, because she had successfully mastered the sword technique of 'Heart-wrenching'.
Left with no choice, Li Chengfeng had to change his allegiance and followed Cheng Dingxiang to her courtyard.
The cruel laws of the cultivation world were once again revealed. Whether it was resources, status, or cultivation, everything had to be obtained through struggle, plunder, and even killing.
Otherwise, not only would one get nothing, but one might also lose one's life.
Cheng Dingxiang's courtyard was similar to Mei Wenxiu's, but Li Chengfeng didn't feel bored because of this. Instead, he was constantly comprehending.
Cheng Dingxiang smiled and said to him, "Actually, you don't have to keep comprehending. Now you have already reached the qualification for entry.
You should concentrate the 'Partiality' of the cultivation method on me, and I, in turn, will play hard to get, not letting you get me easily.
This is the rule between us, do you understand?"
Li Chengfeng nodded to show that he understood.
The reason why he didn't save Mei Wenxiu, apart from the limitations of his character and situation, was also because both of them were cultivating the 'Partiality' cultivation method.
Mutual love would inevitably lead to physical intimacy, or even deeper contact.
But Li Chengfeng had no good feelings for Mei Wenxiu, and he also held certain reservations about the Water Moon Sect.
Therefore, he preferred to play this game of playing hard to get with Cheng Dingxiang, one chasing and one escaping, so that he could both maintain his perfect body and enjoy the fun.
In this way, Li Chengfeng cultivated in Cheng Dingxiang's courtyard for three months.
During these three months, he thoroughly cultivated the 'Partiality' cultivation method to perfection, and also deeply understood the twists and turns within it.
At the same time, he also pretended to be attentive to Cheng Dingxiang, causing her to fall into entanglement.
Cheng Dingxiang really couldn't hold on to her own heart, and began to be afraid of seeing Li Chengfeng.
Because she liked him, and once he proposed marriage, she would not be able to help but agree.
But this would break the rules between them.
If she broke the rules and agreed to Li Chengfeng, then Li Chengfeng would no longer feel 'Heart-wrenching', and she would not be able to obtain the aura and mana of sorrow.
This entanglement hindered her progress in strength, and even regressed a lot.
This made her very depressed, but there was no way around it. The Water Moon Sect was like this, everything was tested by the cultivation method.
One day, Cheng Dingxiang finally couldn't hold back the doubts in her heart and found Li Chengfeng.
She frowned tightly, her tone carrying a hint of questioning, "Little brother, you and I have been partners for more than three months. You cultivate the 'Partiality' cultivation method, so you should put all your love in my heart, but why can't I feel a trace of sorrowful expression from your body?"
Hearing this, Li Chengfeng got up and shook the Daoist robe on his body, a faint smile appearing on the corner of his mouth, "The cultivation methods of the Water Moon Sect are indeed peculiar. No matter what kind of cultivation method you cultivate, you have to restrain each other.
But what about me? I do the opposite. Although I cultivate 'Partiality', I love myself more.
My heart is set on the Dao. If I don't love myself, who else am I going to love?"
Cheng Dingxiang looked at Li Chengfeng in disbelief, as if she had heard a fantasy, "You love yourself? Isn't this breaking the rules? You will never be able to advance!
You can only love me, and also find a way to make me fall in love with you, just like Mei Wenxiu, dedicating everything to you before death, then you can achieve the supreme Dao!"
Li Chengfeng looked at Cheng Dingxiang's serious look, as well as the eagerness and incomprehension in her eyes, and couldn't help but laugh inwardly.
He shook his head and said slowly, "Don't you think it's a bit strange? The cultivation methods we cultivate, whether they are partners or dual cultivation partners, require each other to be deeply in love and have a mutual understanding.
However, why always sacrifice one person to fulfill another person? Isn't this a living separation of a pair of immortals?
So, I was thinking, if I do the opposite, will there be new insights in cultivating this 'Partiality' cultivation method.
Now, I have finally understood clearly.
Partiality, loving others is also love, loving oneself is also love.
I deeply love myself, because I myself certainly love myself more.
Therefore, not only will my cultivation speed not be slow, but it will naturally come to fruition."
