Of course, Fu Hao Xin also had one more hope, and that was that he wouldn't dare think about it too much. Perhaps… Could Mu Di Bai help him restore his cultivation?
Although the Shattered Core Stage was considered a dead end, it was like the diseases in mortal villages that were considered incurable ailments but could be healed with a wave of a cultivator's palm. Many things were a matter of perspective and ability, and incurable simply meant that the condition was complicated and needed more advanced abilities.
A powerful cultivator like Mu Di Bai might have a way of healing him, right? Although Fu Hao Xin was partially resolved and accepting of ending his cultivation journey like this, it was only part way. If it could continue, that was for the best! After all, it wasn't like he was happy with the sects for the way they had treated him, and even if it was only out of spite, it would be nice to run contrary to their intentions.
