Time flew by quickly, and a week had already passed; Fang Tong, seeing that there were no anomalies on Chen Feng's end, gradually relaxed his vigilance. During this time, he also carefully probed Chen Feng but discovered nothing amiss.

On the other side, Ling Feng was very happy because the Continuous Ointment indeed had a miraculous effect. Within a week, Yun Hanrui was already able to stand up and walk slowly. Even though her movements were not very smooth, the results were very good.

In this way, they could fully participate in tomorrow's school anniversary celebration.

Moreover, after such a long time, Ling Feng's strength had also recovered to about fifty percent, and at the Wolong Mountain Villa, Yun Hanrui had found a construction team. Under the supervision of the engineer Ao Yun, the villa was being built according to the blueprints, and everything was developing in a positive direction.

"Uncle Liu, are you looking for me?" Early in the morning, Ling Feng received a call from Dragon King, and as his father-in-law summoned him, Ling Feng did not dare delay and hurried over.

Liu Chengfeng sat opposite Ling Feng: "How are you doing? Has your body recovered?"

"I've recovered about fifty percent of my strength, and it should be mostly recovered in another half a month!" Ling Feng said.

"That's good," Dragon King said with a sigh of relief. "But I've heard that you're now openly together with Yun Hanrui?"

Hearing Dragon King's question, Ling Feng broke into a cold sweat.

"Uncle Liu, I...," Ling Feng found it slightly awkward since Dragon King was Ting Yu's father.

Dragon King spoke calmly, "Being so wishy-washy is not befitting of a real man. When I was young, I hesitated too much, didn't dare to love or to hate boldly, which is why I neglected Ting Yu's mother. That is my life's biggest regret!"

"I'm actually not worried about your feelings for each other, but I only ask for one thing: no matter how many people you come to like in the future, you must not neglect my daughter. Moreover, if my daughter ever feels wronged, I won't let you off easily!" Dragon King spoke sternly.

Ling Feng's heart relaxed. He hadn't expected Dragon King's demand to be so low! Liu Tingyu held the most important place in his heart; how could Ling Feng bear to let her suffer?

Ling Feng immediately made a promise, and only then did Dragon King's face reveal a smile: "I called you over this time because there is something I want to confirm."

"Please speak, Uncle Liu!" Ling Feng said.

Dragon King pondered for a moment, then fixed a penetrating gaze on Ling Feng: "I've recently heard some news from Elder Miao, has something happened to your body?"

Ling Feng was taken aback, then smiled wryly and nodded: "Uncle Liu, it is as you say. I'm sorry for having kept it a secret before, my body has been overstretched, and now I'm probably left with less than five years!"

"Five years?" Dragon King was taken aback as if he understood something, looking at Ling Feng with complex eyes: "Does Ting Yu know about this secret?"

Ling Feng shook his head: "She doesn't know, I don't know how to tell her! But rest assured, Uncle Liu, even if I die, I will definitely find a way to save Ting Yu! Please believe in me."

Dragon King exhaled: "Of course, I believe in your determination, but have you considered this— even if Ting Yu is cured, if you were to die, would Ting Yu still have the courage to live on?"

Ling Feng was stunned; he indeed had not considered this before.

"I know my daughter well; she has the same personality as her mother— to love once in a lifetime, a lifelong love! You two really are...," Dragon King was somewhat troubled.

Ling Feng also sighed in his heart, knowing why the Gu King had told his secret to the Dragon King. The purpose was to have the Dragon King find a way to save him, as his life was still bound to that of Miao Yuting.

However, what the Gu King didn't know was that Ting Yu's life also had less than five years remaining.

"Don't tell Ting Yu about this for the time being," the Dragon King considered for a moment and then said, "There are still five years left, we will definitely find a way during this period. Moreover, I don't want Ting Yu to be worried and distracted by this matter. This is our responsibility as men, do you understand?"

Ling Feng nodded, "Uncle Liu, I understand!"

"Since there is such a miraculous thing as the Life-Extending Gu in this world that can prolong life, there must be other ways to extend life, it's just that we haven't found them yet," the Dragon King said indifferently.

Ling Feng hesitated for a while, but decided to tell the Dragon King something.

"Uncle Liu, you are now already a supreme expert in the Demi-God Domain. Do you know about the Heavenly Dao Barrier?" Ling Feng asked solemnly.

The Dragon King's hand trembled, and he looked at Ling Feng, "Why do you ask this question?"

"Heavenly Dao is sealed, no more God-level!" Ling Feng said solemnly, "As long as we find a way to open the Gate of Heavenly Path, we can step into the God-level domain, and then we can reverse fate and saving Ting Yu wouldn't be difficult!"

The Dragon King suddenly stood up, "Really? How did you come to know about God-level matters?"

Ling Feng lied, saying, "I saw the message on an ancient stone wall in Miao Territory. Although I don't know if it's true or false, I think it's very likely true!"

Frowning and pacing back and forth, the Dragon King said, "Indeed, starting from five years ago, I've felt an invisible pressure seeming to suppress my strength, and no matter how much I cultivate, I can't make any further progress! This must be the Heavenly Dao Barrier! No wonder the Heavenly Dao is sealed!"

Ling Feng was slightly shocked inside, not expecting that the Dragon King's strength had already reached the peak of this world five years ago! It was truly terrifying. By comparison, Ling Feng himself had not reached that realm, and he couldn't help feeling astonished.

"Among the Eight War Gods, I'm afraid only I lack the strength to back my title," Ling Feng said with a wry smile and a shake of his head.

"The problem now is how to open the Gate of Heavenly Path!" the Dragon King said gravely, "Did the stone wall you saw give any explanations?"

Ling Feng took a deep breath and extended his right hand, "Uncle Liu, look at my right hand, do you notice anything unusual?"

The Dragon King curiously glanced at it, "What's unusual? Your hand... Wait, this is..."

A glint flashed in the Dragon King's eyes as he saw the nearly invisible Sword Scar in the palm of Ling Feng's hand and said, "What is this?"

Ling Feng said solemnly, "Uncle Liu, you might not believe it, but this is actually Xuanyuan Sword Shadow."

"Xuanyuan Sword Shadow?" The Dragon King asked, "What exactly is going on?"

Ling Feng briefly told the Dragon King about the situation, naturally concealing the part about the Flood Dragon turning into a dragon. He only mentioned that by a stroke of fate, he gained the recognition of the Xuanyuan Sword Shadow and became its master, and only by activating the Xuanyuan Sword Shadow could he learn the secret of how to open the Heavenly Dao.

This decision was made after much deliberation by Ling Feng, as his experiences alone were limited. Only with the power of the Dragon Group could he possibly achieve his goal more quickly. Moreover, Ling Feng was also willing to trust the Dragon King.
