The two souls merged, their two immense energies harmonizing. This was true dual cultivation. "Dual cultivation—my power can reverse the heavens! Dual cultivation—my dragon and phoenix soar to the skies! Dual cultivation—my strength can uphold the heavens!" After undergoing genuine soul-to-soul dual cultivation, both Guo Liang and Ying'er underwent profound physical transformations. Guo Liang roared, "I wish to become a god! I am the sovereign! I am the god!" His back transformed into a golden wall, behind which stood a colossal spirit shield—formed by the fusion of Guo Liang and Ying'er, both channeling their combined strength and shouting together, "Rise!" Soon, the Leifeng Tower began to rise upward. Fahai's powerful hands, once able to suppress the tower, could no longer hold it. "Rise! The tower has risen! Lifted by the leader!" "Leader! Oh! The Light God! Truly, divine power reaches the heavens!" Half an hour later, the three close friends, the two bodyguards, the members of the Long and Feng Hall, and the brothers from the Long and Feng Hall all awoke, shouting in awe. At this moment, Fa Hai drew a large bundle of poisoned needles from his waist, gave a cold, determined smile, and with a sudden burst, the needles flew like a shower of blossoms, raining down in thick waves. Gao Liang, carrying the Leifeng Pagoda on his back, couldn't channel his energy to defend himself, and his three close friends and two bodyguards were simply too slow to intercept or stop them. As for Ying'er—she was about to act now. Just moments ago, Ying'er had undergone a dual spiritual cultivation with her husband, greatly enhancing her spiritual strength and radiance, now glowing with youthful vitality and brilliance. Her cosmic divine power had also grown significantly. From her flowing hair, she removed a golden hairpin and, with a swift stroke toward the sky, a beam of golden light flashed—immediately, countless flowers bloomed in the air, filling the sky with a cascading floral display. "Ah, the fairy scattering flowers!" Ying'er rarely revealed this skill, but today, at this crucial moment, she did so. "Beauty! What good are these flowers of yours? Hah! Hah! Hah! My poisoned needles are truly unmatched throughout the world!" Fa Hai thought flowers were merely for show and utterly incapable of possessing any magical power. He was completely mistaken. Ying'er, having cultivated alongside the God of Light, Gao Liang, had now attained a divine strength unprecedented in her journey. She was no longer the Ying'er who had just been controlled by Fa Hai. As Fa Hai expected, the flowers were pierced by a deluge of toxic needles, which he believed would penetrate the blooms and strike Gao Liang and Ying'er. Yet he was wrong—wrong because of his own arrogance and preconceived assumptions. The toxic needles not only failed to pierce the flowers but were instead absorbed by them. At that moment, Ying'er's golden hairpin swept once more through the air. "Divine Needle Flight—Flower Surge!" she cried. The flowers transformed into offensive weapons, rushing directly toward Fa Hai. Fa Hai still believed—what could flowers possibly do to me? He was wrong! Wrong! Wrong! "Ah! My goodness! Oh my!" "Master Fa was wounded by the flowers, which came from all directions and enveloped him. The flowers contained poison needles meticulously crafted by him—hundreds of sharp needles piercing his body. A thousand wounds, truly a thousand wounds! Blood and pus flowed from every part of his body. His face was filled with pain, and he looked at Ying'er and Gao Liang and said, 'You are truly amazing! So amazing!' Then, he collapsed heavily—his body dissolved, turning into soil and merging with the earth. 'The True Divine Lady is truly magnificent! So powerful!' The two great guardians and the three close friends from Fenghuo Hall were all filled with joy and excitement. At this moment, however, a small incident occurred: the Leifeng Tower was extremely heavy, and Gao Liang's back was beginning to strain. Everyone grew concerned. Ying'er called out to Gao Liang, 'Husband! Keep going! Keep going!' Gao Liang's body swayed steadily, for the tower was indeed very heavy, and he had already been carrying it for over half an hour—now it had to be carefully lowered. "Get out! Get out now!" High-light pushed everyone away. Ying-er wouldn't leave him; yet High-light commanded, "You must go! There's something wrong with this tower! You have to evacuate!" "Husband! No! I won't go! I won't move! I'll stay with you even if I die—I'll have no regrets!" Ying-er said, her voice filled with emotion. High-light turned to Ying-er and said, "There's a bomb below! I just discovered it—it's too late now! It will explode in ten seconds!" "How cruel! The old Fahai has set such a trap!" Ying-er realized—indeed, a beeping alarm device was steadily signaling beneath the tower. As she reached out to touch it, High-light immediately stopped her, warning it was dangerous. He ordered Ying-er to hurry. "Ying-er! Hurry! Hurry!" High-light urged her again. "Husband! I can't live without you!" Ying-er was crying. High-light remained calm and said, "Wife! Trust me—everything will be fine!" Ying'er was deeply moved and said to Gao Liang, "Husband, take care of yourself!" "Okay!" Ying'er still listened to Gao Liang's words and stayed at a distance. Yet, when she had walked one hundred meters away, the Leifeng Tower exploded. The entire tower was reduced to ashes, the entire site turned into ruins, and the earth and sky trembled. "Husband! Husband!" Ying'er was weeping. "Big Brother! You can't die! You can't die! If you die, how will we brothers go on living?" The two stalwart bodyguards, the three close friends, and the brothers from Fenghuo Hall all cried out in sorrow. Ying'er was most heartbroken, having lost her dearest loved one. "Husband! Ying'er will follow you!" Standing on the Broken Bridge of West Lake, Ying'er simply leapt down, hoping to die right there. Suddenly, she felt a pair of strong, firm hands embracing her embroidered waist. She looked back—oh! It was her husband! It was her husband! At that moment, Gao Liang's face was covered in ash, making it nearly impossible But Ying'er believed that the person before her was Gao Liang. Gao Liang said to Ying'er, "Don't take your own life! Absolutely not! I don't like my wife to grieve. I want to wipe away the tears from my wife's eyes!" Gao Liang used a handkerchief to wipe away Ying'er's tears. Ying'er felt so happy that she broke into a smile and said to Gao Liang, "Husband! I really thought you had died!" "I've already told you, everything's fine!" Gao Liang spoke with confidence. In fact, when the bomb was about to explode, Gao Liang suddenly jumped into a underground tunnel, and right after that, the Leifeng Tower was blown apart. Though Gao Liang managed to emerge from the tunnel, he came out covered in dust and mud. The Leifeng Tower, destroyed by Fahuai, witnessed Fahuai's downfall and also bore witness to Gao Liang's certain victory. "Rebuild the Leifeng Tower!" Gao Liang led the people of Qiantang to rebuild the Leifeng Pagoda on its original site. In his capacity as Chairman of the "I Want to Become a God" Group, he personally donated 300 million yuan, while the people of Qiantang also rallied enthusiastically, raising an additional 700 million yuan through public fundraising, totaling 1 billion yuan for the new pagoda. Xihu was formerly known as "Qiantang Lake." The ancient poet Su Shi praised it thus: "To compare West Lake to Xi Zi, whether lightly or elaborately adorned, it always remains charming." It is also known as "Xi Zi Lake." The beauty of Xihu lies not only in the lake but also in its mountains. Surrounding the lake, to the southwest lie Longjing Mountain, Li'an Mountain, Nan Gao Mountain, Yinxia Ridge, Daci Mountain, Linshi Mountain, Nanping Mountain, Phoenix Mountain, and Wushan, collectively known as the South Mountains. To the north lie Lingyin Mountain, Beigao Mountain, Xianggu Mountain, Qixia Ridge, and Boshizhan Mountain, collectively known as the North Mountains. These mountains, like stars surrounding the moon, cradle Xihu—the precious pearl. Though none of the mountains exceeds 400 meters in height, their peaks are remarkable and their rocks and scenery exquisite, with lush forests and serene streams. The northern and southern peaks stand facing each other, towering into the clouds. Other attractions include BaoShu's graceful elegance, the old bridge and moonlight, ancient towers full of sentiment, green corridors along the lake shore, vibrant West Lake not only excels in its outstanding natural beauty of scenic mountains and waters and its deep, serene ravines and valleys, but also boasts a rich array of historical sites and beautiful, touching myths and legends. Nature, culture, history, and art are seamlessly integrated. With a widespread network of ancient sites, West Lake features five nationally designated cultural heritage sites, thirty-five provincially designated ones, twenty-five municipally designated ones, plus thirty-nine heritage points and various specialized museums that enhance its charm—making it one of China's most renowned cultural and historical tourist destinations.
