What Does It Mean to Be Brothers!

Everyone is incredibly excited right now, Dao of Happiness.

As everyone knows, to step into the Half-Step Main God, you must first find your own unique path.

Half-Step Main God can be considered the first step on the path to Main God. The so-called "Dao" is actually the key to whether Half-Step Main God can become Main God in the Future.

Apart from Gu Mingchao, almost all the Main Gods need to obtain the corresponding divine Divinity based on their own path Half-Step Main God!

Therefore, your path, in a sense, is your Future Divinity!

But what is the Tao?

No one can explain it clearly.

But today, Cheng Xiaotian has developed his own Dao of Happiness, so everyone is eager to know how to achieve happiness and enlightenment through this Dao of Happiness!

Seeing the expectant looks from everyone, Cheng Xiaotian smiled and said, "As the saying goes, life is full of disappointments, even for those of us standing at the peak!"

"But life is full of disappointments, so let go of those disappointments and seek out the one or two things that remain! That's the essence of my Dao of Happiness!"

"Why persist in doing things when there's clearly no way out? Why not set aside the things that make you unhappy and hinder your cultivation, and instead focus on the things that bring you joy? Wouldn't that lead to something better?"

"From the Xinghe's Happy Cultivation Method, I have comprehended this Dao of Happiness. The most crucial aspect of this Happy Cultivation Method lies not in cultivation itself, but in happiness. It is a method of cultivating the mind. Once the state of mind is reached, what difficulty is there in cultivation?"

Cheng Xiaotian said with a grin.

The surrounding bigwigs were completely bewildered; not only them, but even Chu Xinghe was dumbfounded...

Um... City Lord Cheng, do you think it's possible that even I, the one who proposed the Happy Cultivation Method, wouldn't understand this thing you're talking about?

So Chu Xinghe spoke up, "Would City Lord Cheng be willing to share the specific details?"

Upon hearing Chu Xinghe's words, Cheng Xiaotian smiled slightly and said, "Why not!"

"Happiness is actually very simple... In my daily life, I, Cheng Xiaotian, am just like all of you, entangled in various affairs and overwhelmed with worries. But I, Cheng Xiaotian, am different from you. I have things I love, and I know what can make me happy... So, from Xinghe's Happy Cultivation Method, I have learned a way to infinitely amplify my happiness and continuously elevate my state of mind... That is..."

"Top up!"

The audience. "???"

Chu Xinghe: "?????????????"

Cheng Xiaotian: "You may not know this, but I am the number one on the Haotian Mirror recharge ranking, and I have been undefeated on the list for many years!"

"Even that old scoundrel Gu Mingchao was defeated by me, Cheng Xiaotian! So recharging makes me happy! Recharging makes me stronger!"

The entire audience. "..."

Chu Xinghe: "..."

In this entire world, the only person who would dare to call Gu Mingchao an old scoundrel in such a public place is probably this guy...

Don't be fooled by our Holy Lord's submissive demeanor and constant criticism within the Vast Heaven Holy Land. If anyone from the Vast Heaven Holy Land were to dare insult our Holy Lord outside, he would be executed without mercy!

Holy Lord Gu Mingchao of Vast Heaven Holy Land, how we behave at home is a matter for our Vast Heaven Holy Land!

Who the hell are you? How dare you insult our Holy Lord Gu Mingchao?

But in the entire world, only this person before him humiliated Gu Mingchao, and even the people of the Vast Heaven Holy Land wouldn't interfere.

After all, Gu Mingchao and Cheng Xiaotian were sworn brothers. When Gu Mingchao was in danger, Cheng Xiaotian fought for three days and was covered in blood. Even when his skin was so badly damaged that there wasn't a single good spot left, he still managed to bring Gu Mingchao out of the brink of death.

Of course, Gu Mingchao had done similar things for Cheng Xiaotian before!

So when these two disagreed and started hurling insults at each other, no one bothered them.

Because these two are the type who'd spit in each other's faces, then turn around and happily go off to drink...

You see Gu Mingchao shouting that he and Cheng Xiaotian are sworn enemies, that he's breaking off all ties with Cheng Xiaotian, and that Cheng Xiaotian, you little brat, should kneel down and polish his shoes!

But if Cheng Xiaotian were in any trouble, Old Gu would definitely be the first to rush to his rescue!

Conversely, the same applies to Cheng Xiaotian. Therefore, even in such a public setting, no one would think anything of Cheng Xiaotian directly criticizing Gu Mingchao.

Because they're true brothers! Brothers for life!

But then Cheng Xiaotian's words, "Recharging makes me stronger," left everyone speechless!

What the hell is this? Cheng Xiaotian, do you want to hear if you're even speaking human language?

Recharging makes me happy... that actually sounds pretty reasonable...

The problem is, isn't it a bit too far-fetched to connect this with cultivation?

Cheng Xiaotian said that this was not outrageous at all!

"Gentlemen, if we defeat Gu Mingchao, will you be happy?" Cheng Xiaotian asked directly.

Seeing so many big shots saying, "How could we even dare to think of such a thing..."

Cheng Xiaotian chuckled... Of course, Cheng Xiaotian knew why they would say that.

Because that's Gu Mingchao. Do you think everyone would dare to jump out and attack Gu Mingchao like I, Old Cheng, would?

Lao Tzu could make Gu Mingchao kneel down and speak to me without anyone caring, but if it were Wang Daoquan, he would jump out and demand that Gu Mingchao shine his shoes!

Let's see if Gu Mingchao can turn Wang Daoquan into leather shoes tonight!

Therefore, only Cheng Xiaotian would dare to publicly declare that he was happy to defeat Gu Mingchao.

Even though everyone else knows in their hearts that if they could defeat Gu Mingchao, they would be so happy they'd be flying high, they'd be invincible, but the problem is you can't do it, you don't even dare to say it!

What? You're openly declaring that you want to defeat Gu Mingchao... Do you know how dangerous that thinking is?

"To be honest, even I, Old Cheng, couldn't defeat Gu Mingchao of the Vast Heaven Holy Land... There was a time when I was incredibly troubled... I was once on par with Gu Mingchao in cultivation, but facing the Gu Mingchao of today... I'm afraid I'll never have the chance to defeat him in this lifetime..."

"So Gu Mingchao isn't just my old brother; in a way, isn't he also my Cheng Xiaotian Heart Demon? Everyone knows that the best way to dispel Heart Demon is to defeat it head-on... But how can I defeat Gu Mingchao head-on...?"

"Until Xinghe proposed the Happy Cultivation Method... At the time, I didn't think much about it; I just wanted to recharge and have some fun... But as I recharged more and more, and my ranking on the Haotian Mirror rose higher and higher, I had an epiphany!"

"Although I cannot defeat Gu Mingchao of the Vast Heaven Holy Land, I can defeat Gu Mingchao within the Haotian Mirror!"

"If I cannot defeat Gu Mingchao of the Vast Heaven Holy Land, then Gu Mingchao within the Haotian Mirror is also forever unable to defeat me!"

"At that moment, I understood. At that moment, Gu Mingchao was no longer my inner Heart Demon, but became my Dao of Happiness!"

"So, it turns out I, Cheng Xiaotian, am not incapable of defeating Gu Mingchao. Just as my name suggests, Gu Mingchao Is My Defeated Opponent! It turns out I, Cheng Xiaotian, have always trampled Gu Mingchao under my feet. The so-called Gu Mingchao is just Heart Demon... he crumbles on his own!"

As Cheng Xiaotian spoke, the aura he exuded was far greater than before. At this moment, Cheng Xiaotian's aura exploded... a terrifying pressure surged out from Cheng Xiaotian!

Half-Step Main God!

No one expected that Cheng Xiaotian would gain another enlightenment at this moment and be about to break through to the stage of Half-Step Main God!

It should be noted that, under normal circumstances, Cheng Xiaotian would have a high success rate in attempting to break through to the Half-Step Main God after stabilizing for a year or two.

But don't forget, even with a high success rate, there's still a risk of failure.

Moreover, if the attack fails at this stage, the blow to Cheng Xiaotian will be far greater than that at a lower level.

If Cheng Xiaotian fails to break through in a year or two, then he may never have the chance to step into the Half-Step Main God again in his lifetime!

Cheng Xiaotian himself knew this, but no one expected that when Cheng Xiaotian was sharing his Dao of Joy, he would have another insight and would skip that year and a half, directly starting a breakthrough!

"Everyone, get out!"

Although the Grand Elder knew this was Martial Emperor City, he was still the first to speak.

This is a breakthrough to Half-Step Main God; it's not something an ordinary person can witness up close!

Therefore, under the organization of Martial Emperor City, everyone began to withdraw from this area.

As countless people withdrew, the world changed color in an instant... Terrifying Spiritual Qi gathered towards Cheng Xiaotian from all directions, and terrifying Spirit Power converged above Cheng Xiaotian's head!

Just as everyone was watching Cheng Xiaotian's aura grow increasingly terrifying, flames erupted from the sky!

Flames surged from the horizon like a tidal wave, illuminating the entire night as if it were daytime!

Amidst the surging flames, a figure treads on the flames!

"You old scoundrel Cheng Xiaotian, you've broken through today! I, the Emperor, will protect you!"

With that sound, everyone knew who had arrived...

Gu Mingchao!

Gu Mingchao is the only strongest person from the Four Continents who was not invited this time!

The fact that Cheng Xiaotian did not invite Gu Mingchao this time also caused quite a stir.

Some uninformed people even wondered if Cheng Xiaotian had some kind of conflict with Gu Mingchao...

But at this moment, no further words are needed...

Human Race Emperor Gu Mingchao who was not invited, sensed his old brother's breakthrough, as he had come all the way from the Vast Heaven Holy Land with his Flame Divinity!

All for the sake of protecting my old brother and helping him break through to the Half-Step Main God!

Flames instantly engulfed the entire Martial Emperor City, and the power of the flames also protected the area where Cheng Xiaotian was located!

At this moment, anyone who wants to disrupt Cheng Xiaotian's breakthrough will have to step over Gu Mingchao's corpse to get past him!

True brothers... need no invitations... and no formalities...

The two of them seemed to be ignoring each other today...

But when one side is truly in trouble, the other side, no matter where they are in the Four Continents, will travel thousands of miles to come to their aid!

At this moment, the Flame Main God Gu Mingchao personally protected his old brother, giving him a helping hand and enabling him to step into the Main God Realm!

These two guys, who had fought for half their lives, showed the entire Four Continents what brotherhood truly meant in this moment!
