Dashing Student Chapter 1504 1471: Volunteering for Death

Chen Nan looked at the cultivator's corpse on the ground, deeply furrowing his brows.

Clearly, he had already met all the conditions required for the Breakthrough Flower, so why was it still not working?

What exactly had he overlooked?

Turning his head to look at the other cultivators, those cultivators shrank their necks when swept by Chen Nan's gaze, appearing very frightened.

At first, they thought Chen Nan was a Buddha, coming to Hell for salvation, but when Chen Nan killed people, they felt he was a Demon!

Chen Nan originally wanted to try killing a few more people, but remembering the hot spring, he returned to its side. At this moment, the hot spring had only one breath left.

"Brother Zhang... Brother Zhang, I regret now, is it too late?"

As he spoke, blood gushed from his mouth, and fragments of his organs could even be seen.

Chen Nan sighed, nodded, and said, "It's not too late, I forgive you."

"That's great..."

The hot spring's eyes gazed at the sky, which was overcast and sunless, yet he clearly saw a bright sun.

He also saw his wife and daughter, and after a trace of a relieved smile appeared, his hand fell powerlessly.

Chen Nan's heart ached. Although the hot spring had once betrayed him, at the end of his life, he repented, and Chen Nan was completely relieved.

"Rest assured, I will go see your wife and daughter for you."

He placed the hot spring's body on the ground, preparing to tidy it up to take it out for his wife, but at that moment, he suddenly saw a flower slowly growing on the hot spring's body.

The flower had thirteen colors, gently swaying in the wind.

"So that's it!"

Chen Nan chuckled bitterly; he finally understood all the conditions for the appearance of the Breakthrough Flower.

Besides sudden repentance, the most important point is voluntary death.

The hot spring, willing to die for redemption, for Chen Nan, thus a Breakthrough Flower grew from his corpse, but those other cultivators he killed didn't want to die at all, so naturally, no Breakthrough Flower grew.

After respectfully arranging the hot spring's corpse, he put it into his Immortal Palace Space and then turned to look at the cultivators who had come here.

"Is there anyone among you willing to die voluntarily?"

At this statement, everyone quieted down, looking at Chen Nan with terrified eyes.

Are you a demon, asking people to voluntarily die?!

"If you are willing to die, I will take care of your family and friends, giving them a generous reward. After all, you yourselves know that the hope of leaving the Secret Realm is very, very small."

Chen Nan continued to ask, unwilling to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Still, no one stepped forward or answered him. It seemed these people cherished their lives, but they seemed to forget that it was by relying on Chen Nan's scriptures and the Shariputra that they awoke.

Otherwise, they would fall into endless cycles of battle again.

No one willingly died, so Chen Nan did not intend to kill them, as killing them wouldn't yield any Breakthrough Flowers.

This one Breakthrough Flower was already an unexpected gain.

But just as he was about to put away the Shariputra and leave, a cultivator suddenly became agitated: "You can't go! If you leave, what will happen to us?"

Hearing such an absurd statement, Chen Nan turned his head in surprise, seeing a middle-aged cultivator stand up, righteously declaring.

"What does it have to do with me?"

"But aren't you here to save us? You can't give up halfway; you have to take us out of the Secret Realm!" the person became more excited.

Chen Nan sighed helplessly. No matter where, there are always fools like this. He pointed his finger forward, and the Void Breaking Sword suddenly flew out, piercing directly through the person's brow.

As he weakly fell, Chen Nan felt a bit relieved, but at this time someone else stood up, this time an elderly cultivator with a face full of wrinkles.

"What, do you also want me to save you?"

The old man shook his head repeatedly: "Of course not, I just want to ask if you really mean it when you say you'll help take care of my family?"

"I never go back on my word. You can choose to believe me or not, I won't force you," Chen Nan said lightly.

The old man hesitated for a long time, finally making up his mind.

"Okay, I am willing to die, but you must promise my family a generous reward!" His voice trembled, as if he had reached a dead end.

The old man saw more clearly than many people that being stuck in this cycle, there was no hope of leaving.

Instead of living in a daze, getting trapped in the Secret Realm, living a life worse than death, it would be better to exchange his life for some security for his family.

"Okay, I guarantee it." Chen Nan looked extremely serious.

The old man took out a storage bag from his bosom and handed it to Chen Nan: "Inside are the information and addresses of my family. I'm counting on you."

After finishing, he sat down cross-legged to the side, and soon after, his mana suddenly ran wild, shattering all his meridians.

Even his Golden Core was shattered by himself.

The old man's head drooped, completely lifeless.

Chen Nan sighed, slowly walking over, seeing that on the back of the old man's neck, a Breakthrough Flower slowly grew, making the old man's body even more shriveled, as if the flower absorbed all the nutrients in his body.

"Go well."

He said softly, pulling out the Breakthrough Flower, placing both the old man's body and the Breakthrough Flower into the Immortal Palace Space.
