Chapter 214 Finale

"But what if he's truly evil?" Mu Chi asked. "Should we bury all the people with him?"

"But you should have told us earlier."

"It's my fault. I volunteered to be the center of the formation and be imprisoned by him forever."

This matter has been reported to the Elders' Hall, and the elders also said that this is the best way.

They were all willing to sacrifice their lives to ensure the well-being of the people. None of them could afford to gamble on the extent of Hua Jin's kindness.

Except for the disciples who formed the array, the rest of the people were completely unaware of the dangers of this array, but they all had some idea that the price was not small.

Ye Musi only knew that even after Hua Jin left, he would not be able to win the eyes of his master, but fortunately, he had Zhu Jianye's company in the past few years, and there was someone to speak up for him when Hua Jin made things difficult for him.

That night after the meeting in the Elders' Hall, Mu Chi felt uneasy.

Suddenly he felt something moving in the barrier inside the West Mountain. He pushed the door open and saw the goddess walking towards him.

"I have heard about what happened in the past few days."

"It is my disciple who has failed to live up to your expectations."

"Someone is behind this. I've asked Yuan Qing to investigate. Now that Ah Chuan has entered the Demonic Realm, I'll use 90% of my power to dispel the demonic aura." Yan Ru gently stroked her slightly bulging belly. "What are you going to do?"

"Seal him, and wait until the Sun Lord Pearl and the Night Light Pearl merge, and then eliminate him."

Yan Ru was silent for a moment, then said, "The alien species and the spirit pearl are not called that. They are my destiny. They are not things from the three realms. They are the only thing I can use to fight against the way of heaven."

Mu Chi also understood what she meant. Before the alien species and the spirit pearl fell into the hands of the goddess, they were not called spirit pearl alien species. If the alien species were stronger at that time, they would still be called spirit pearls. They just had different attributes. There was no such thing as absolute good and evil between immortals and demons.

"He doesn't want to see his disciples." He spoke out his conjecture in the Heart Mirror. They really couldn't afford to gamble. "So, Goddess, do you still want to continue this bet? Not only can he not help us fight against the Heavenly Dao, but he will harm us instead."

"What about you? The seal is so dangerous, you will die."

"From the moment I became the Valley Master, my life is no longer my own. Goddess, please rest assured and take care of your pregnancy. I will not make any mistakes, nor will I let those people die in vain."

After careful consideration, Yan Ru agreed to Mu Chi's request and gave him her last spiritual power.

"Be careful in everything."

After Yan Ru left, Mu Chi arranged the funeral and went to find Hua Jin again, but was still turned away.

He clenched his fists and stood there waiting, and even the demon servant couldn't bear to watch.

"Go back. Even though the Demon Lord forbad us from hurting you, if we don't want to see you, then we don't want to see you. Why would you do this, Immortal Master?"

"If he doesn't see me, I'll die here."

After saying this, the door opened and Hua Jin's dull voice came from inside.

"Let him in."

Mu Chi smelled alcohol before he even entered the house. When he saw Hua Jin, he was completely drunk and there were several jars of wine in the room.

He tried his best to remain calm, took a deep breath, and sat down next to Hua Jin. Hua Jin looked at him and waited for him to speak.

"Drinking so much alcohol is very harmful to your health."

"Well, you never let me drink before." After saying that, Hua Jin took another sip. When he saw that the wine was almost finished, he went to get another jar, like a rebellious child.

Mu Chi pulled him, stood up and pressed on him, holding his face and kissing him.

The moment his lips touched, Hua Jin froze, and the wine jar rolled to his feet with a bang. The splashing wine wet the hems of both of their clothes.

Mu Chi's tongue first tasted the wine—spicy, boiling, with the astringency of the demonic black millet, burning all the way to his throat;

Then came the tears, salty and slightly bitter. Finally, the blood, his own and Hua Jin's. Both of them bit their lips, yet neither backed away, as if whoever let go first would plunge a knife into the other's heart.

When the kiss ended, both of their lips were broken.

Hua Jin stared at him with an obsessed look on his face, and called out after a long time.

“…Master.”

"Master knows that it was you who brought me out of the Mirror of Reflection. You attacked the major sects because they spread rumors. I know all this. I don't blame you." Mu Chi leaned his head against Hua Jin. "I am somewhat happy that you would do this."

Hua Jin felt a warm feeling in his heart, as if he understood Mu Chilai's intention. After all, they had been together for so many years and had experienced so many things together, and they had already become each other's worms.

But Mu Chi didn't think so. He still believed that he could seduce Hua Jin with the beauty trick.

"I'm an alien species, you should wish me dead."

"Are you stupid? If I wanted you dead, why didn't I do it when you were a child?" In order to prevent Hua Jin from getting into too much trouble, he said, "Xiao Jin... I'm willing to give you a chance. Are you willing to be with me?"

Boom——

Boom——

Boom——

The Demon Palace was very quiet at this moment, without even the sound of wind, only the heartbeats of the two people.

Hua Jin didn't respond, but raised his hand, wiped the blood drop at the corner of Mu Chi's lips with his fingertips, and wiped it on his own lips.

For the first time, Mu Chi couldn't wait. Seeing Hua Jin didn't say anything, he sat up and asked again: "Are you willing?"

He was afraid that he would be like a clown, rushing over to confess his love in a hurry, only to be rejected. This was the first time he had ever confessed his love in his life, and he felt a little uneasy. Although he didn't have that kind of affection for him, he was also afraid of being rejected like an ordinary person.

"Master," Hua Jin said in a low, hoarse voice, but with a smile, "You asked me if I was willing—"

He suddenly grabbed Mu Chi's neck with his backhand and pushed him towards him, their foreheads colliding with a loud bang.

"Of course I am willing. I'm just afraid this is a dream. Master once told me that our relationship has always been one of master and disciple. I will remember this. I'm also afraid that Master will abandon me in the future." Hua Jin said seriously, his eyes shining. "Now that all the hardships have been overcome, you are willing to accept me. How could I not want to?"

After hearing what he said, Mu Chi gently caressed his face, rubbing the red mole at the corner of his eye with his fingertips. Seeing that the mole was getting redder, he leaned over and kissed it.

Since they were together, they naturally had to do something different. He put his hand into Hua Jin's clothes and pressed it against his chest muscles.

He mustered up his courage and took off Hua Jin's clothes, but he still thought of the twelve years of suffering, and his body trembled slightly.

"Don't be afraid of me." Hua Jin stopped Mu Chi.

"What's wrong?" His heart trembled and he quickly pulled his hand back.

Hua Jin held his hand, placed it on his lips and kissed it, saying, "That's good." He felt Mu Chi's palms were wet against his skin, and he also noticed that Mu Chi's body was shaking slightly. "That's enough."

Mu Chi pursed his lips, not knowing what to say.

He knew a lot about love, which was all taught to him by Murong Lian, so much so that he had somewhat forgotten what the essence of love was and how to love someone.

He won't love now, but Hua Jin will.

Even though Hua Jin had experienced those twelve years, he was still able to remain sober. He seemed to have transcended the mundane world, and all he remembered in his heart was Mu Chi's teachings. He hated Murong Lian's actions, but he could not forget that he had done the same to Mu Chi.

Mu Chi stood up and pulled Hua Jin up from the pile of wine jars. They looked at each other without saying anything, as if they had been together for a long time and had reunited after a breakup. No one spoke tacitly.

"You..." Mu Chi said, "Let's go live in seclusion and forget about this world, okay?"

He was a little anxious. Sealing such a big thing could not be delayed for a moment.

"Where are you going?"

Mu Chi paused as if thinking.

"The area around Shenghe Mountain is prosperous. Shall we go there?" He subconsciously sought the opinion of the man who brought out his wildness.

"Okay." Hua Jin said without hesitation, fearing that this hard-earned happiness would fly away.

Without saying a word, the two of them came to Shenghe Town.

Mu Chi had already bought a courtyard, so he wanted to act more realistically.

It was already night in the world of cultivation. Mu Chi made the bed, turned around and stretched out his hand.

Hua Jin didn't take the lead.

"What's wrong?" Mu Chi withdrew his hand uncomfortably. "Don't you like this yard?"

"What I like is that it feels so unreal. I used to dream of living an ordinary life with my master, but I never thought that one day it would come true."

Mu Chi always talked about the people, responsibility, and the relationship between master and disciple. He listened, thought, but did not dare to disobey.

Mu Chi breathed a sigh of relief, a light sweat on his temples. He stepped forward and hugged Hua Jin. His movements were a little stiff, but Hua Jin didn't care, and he hugged Mu Chi back.

"Master, is this really not a dream?"

"No." He listened to Hua Jin's seductive heartbeat which was in sync with his own.

"When I looked in the mirror of my heart, I was thinking, how great it would be if I had not acted on my own and listened to my uncle." This way, Mu Chi would not have a gap with him, and he would not live in regret.

"There's no ifs. Now is good enough. You don't have to deny yourself." Mu Chi gently pushed away. "Since I'm willing to be with you, I don't mind the past. Let's be together well, okay?"

Hua Jin was about to answer when he heard someone shouting for help outside.

They both looked out the window at the same time.

"Help! Monster! Monster!" The shrill voice tore through the veneer of Shenghe Town's midnight. Mu Chi and Hua Jin exchanged glances, each seeing a sudden flash of coldness in the other's eyes.

Mu Chi pinched his middle fingertips, and before his spiritual power came out, he felt the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth stagnant as lead; Hua Jin was more direct, and when he released his devilish aura, the moonlight outside the window suddenly turned dark red.

The cries for help disappeared, and the two men went out to see, and saw that the monster was lying on the ground.

"Demon Lord, save me!" The monster recognized Hua Jin.

"Master, Master..." The one asking for help was an old man. He cried and knelt down in front of Mu Chi, "Please save my grandson."

"Old man, please get up quickly," Mu Chi helped the old man up, "Talk slowly."

"My grandson went out to play today and hasn't come back yet. There are ferocious beasts on the mountain again today. Master, please save my grandson. He is not even six years old yet." The old man was crying. He came out to look for someone tonight, but encountered a monster. He was really scared.

Hua Jin stared silently at the old man and the monster lying on the ground.

"Okay, go back first, your grandson will be safe."

The old man was still making a fuss, so Mu Chi had no choice but to cast a spell and let him go home.

When he came to his senses, he saw Hua Jinsen's stern gaze and shuddered all over.

"What's wrong?"

Hua Jin shook his head, then summoned the Ten Thousand Bones Sword and pierced the monster's chest with one sword.

The monster didn't even have time to let out a scream before it turned into a pool of black water, seeping into the cracks in the bluestone slabs, making a "hissing" corrosion sound.

When the Wan Gu Sword was pulled back, there was not even a drop of blood on the blade, but it carried a chilling chill that made one's teeth ache.

"Master, I want to be with you forever."

"It's already this late and you're still talking about this. Go up the mountain and look for someone."

At this moment, a message came from the Elder Hall of Yinyou Valley.

"Master wants to retire with me, yet he still holds the position of Valley Master?"

"Well, I left in such a hurry that I didn't have time to pass on the throne." Mu Chi said, "You go up the mountain first, find the child, send him back, and then go home and wait for me, okay?"

Hua Jin didn't say anything.

Mu Chi couldn't guess what he was thinking, but he suddenly felt that his thoughts had been guessed.

The monster and the child weren't real, but conjured up by him using forbidden techniques and paper figurines. He had been practicing forbidden techniques for the past few days, and his cultivation had reached an extraordinary level. Logically, the paper figurines shouldn't have made any mistakes, but he felt an inexplicable fear in his heart, especially when facing Hua Jin. He felt inexplicably panicked.

What was he afraid of? Didn't Hua Jin play tricks on him many times when he was Murong Lian? He secretly changed the concept, saying that if he ate Cheng Yuanzhou, he would release the Wangyou Sect, but the Wangyou Sect was still wiped out.

"Xiao Jin?"

"Okay, Master, please come back soon. I'll wait for you," Hua Jin said with a smile. "I'll wait until Master leaves before going up the mountain."

"Saving people is important, go quickly." After saying that, Mu Chi flew away on his sword towards the Hidden Valley.

After he left, Hua Jin's eyes became more and more gloomy, and finally he went straight up the mountain. He knew that Mu Chi had deceived him, and he also saw that the two people were paper people, but he did not expose them, but instead stubbornly deceived himself.

Since Master said he wanted to be with him and would wait for him at home, then he would go.

He stubbornly repeated this sentence over and over in his mind. The line of defense in his heart and the cruel methods he used as Murong Lian all flooded into his mind and could not be shaken off.

He sent a message back to the demon world and summoned the demon soldiers to ambush.

Mu Chi did not return to Yinyou Valley, but set up an array and left talismans near Shenghe Mountain.

Mu Chi was suspended in mid-air, with golden talismans flying on his fingertips. Each of them sank into the mountain ridge, using the energy of the dragon vein to weave a "Soul-Locking and Spirit-Calming" formation.

He actually knew very well that it would take a very long time, or even impossible, for the main bead and the luminous bead to merge. But as long as Hua Jin could be trapped, it would not only protect common people, but also Hua Jin.

As long as Hua Jin can't get out, he can't hurt anyone, and others can't cause trouble for him.

This was the only thing Mu Chi could do. He had let down too many people in his life, and at least he didn't want to let down Hua Jin.

Until now, no matter how much emotion I have, it’s useless.

There is no possibility for them.

The formation was complete, and Mu Chi injected his own spirit into it. Finally, the sky was illuminated by the light from the formation, and everyone received the order at this moment to form the formation.

At the moment when the beam of light shot up into the sky, it was as if another sun appeared on the top of the Holy River Mountain.

Mu Chi's soul appeared in the center of the formation, his green robe fluttering like a sword that was finally unsheathed but broke immediately.

He raised his hand, and a drop of soul blood fell from his fingertips. Before the blood drop touched the ground, it turned into thousands of golden threads and penetrated into the void.

That is the last link of "Locking the Soul and Calming the Spirit": using one's own soul as the lock and one's own spirit as the key;

As long as the formation exists, the God exists; when the formation is broken... the God dies.

Hua Jin had no idea what Mu Chi was really thinking. He thought that Mu Chi would not go back on his word since he had promised him, and that someone must have forced him to do so. He had to eliminate all threats for his master so that they could be together for a long time.

He smiled, his face beaming with happiness.

The demon soldiers are already near the Holy River Mountain, ready to attack at any time.

As he was walking, suddenly his hands and feet were tied up by black ice chains and hung in the air. He suddenly felt that his spiritual power was being sucked away.

When he reached the highest point, he saw a group of disciples from Hidden Valley below him, setting up a formation that he could not understand and had never seen before.

He signaled the demon soldiers to attack, and the scene suddenly became bloody. Disciples from various sects fought together. They had learned that the alien species needed to be sealed, so they came to help.

"You evil creature, why don't you surrender!" Zhu Yingyan held the Juque in his hand, and the sharp tip of the sword cut through the wind.

"Where's Mu Chi! Let him come see me!"

Zhu Yingyan didn't answer. The giant tower had already fallen. The sword's edge split the skylight, and a red-gold rune burst out from the sword's spine, transforming into nine chains that went straight to Hua Jin's eyebrows, dantian, and every part of his body. One sword, prison.

But the moment the chain touched Hua Jin's skin, it was burned into pieces by the black flames.

Suddenly, a divine pressure came over Hua Jin, making it difficult for him to breathe, and he was sunk into the ice shell of the mountain.

When he stood firm and was about to rush out, his hands were tied to the ice shelf again. The cold swept through his body, and he heard Mu Chi's voice.

"seal up--!"

Hua Jin suddenly laughed.

"So you've already decided to sacrifice your life in exchange for my eternal imprisonment?"

Well, Mu Chi asked him to wait, so he would wait here. Maybe Mu Chi would see how well behaved he was and come back to see him on Ri Ri.

He thought so happily in his heart.

The sealing went smoothly, but when it came to the end, something went wrong and the formation suddenly seemed to be sucking their life force away. They suspected Hua Jin was responsible.

Chang Feihong had already escaped. Looking at all this, he felt extremely guilty, but he couldn't resist his desire to survive.

When the Huajin people are sitting at home, the pot will come to them.

Only after all those within the formation were dead did the light of the formation fade, and the tranquility of the past returned. Outside Shenghe Mountain, the various sects had also completely eliminated the demonic soldiers.

Many people died in the Battle of Shenghe Mountain. Their names will be written into history books and admired by thousands of people.

…………

【Now】Hidden Valley West Mountain——

The light gradually dimmed, and Hua Jin's face was covered with tears.

"I have gathered his soul and placed it into the cycle of reincarnation."

"Isn't it about resurrection? What is reincarnation?"

Ji Wang said, "His soul has already been scattered. The spirit that is clinging to him is only because it was separated when he saved Ye Musi. Here, his soul has been scattered to begin with. It is only because Cheng Yuanzhou spent two thousand years to gather his soul that he was able to reincarnate. Now that so many years have passed, it is already a good chance for him to be reincarnated."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Musi and others arrived at Xishan.

"I've done what I promised you, so shouldn't you also let me know what I want to know?"

An equal exchange of benefits is what should happen.

After Ji Wang remembered everything, he didn't say much, but just stared at Yan Ru deeply. He didn't expect that the person he created, who had his divine veins flowing in his body, would actually rebel against him.

In the end, just like the Lingzhu alien species, they have awakened their self-awareness in this world he rules. Not only them, but more people will awaken. Perhaps he should no longer continue to control the Three Realms, but let it develop freely. He has no control over what will happen.

He promised Dongfang Liu that he would put him back on track, and he did it.

Dongfang Liu is not a human. He has awakened his self-awareness. He is a product of the Three Realms. Song Cisheng practiced the Heart-Illuminating Array in order to see Dongfang Liu, the unity of all the dead souls. He really shouldn't be alive, but he shouldn't be dead either.

…

Lu Li was seriously injured and his immortal power was lost. He only had a month left to live. When Lu Limu saw Ye Musi's sad look, he couldn't bear it and was willing to use his own life to extend Lu Lishen's life.

The person Ye Musi likes and loves in his heart is Lu Lishen, not him. He is very clear about this. Even though Ye Musi says that he treats them as one person, he will treat them differently.

It would be better to give up his life in exchange for a place in Ye Musi's heart and let him remember him forever.

Lu Limu was originally a part of Lu Lishen, and there was nothing wrong with the process of returning to his origin. From then on, there was no Lu Limu, only Lu Lishen.

He had all of Lu Lishen's memories, so after he returned to his original form, Lu Lishen also remembered everything.

At this point, everyone went their separate ways.

Ye Musi and Lu Lishen joined hands and finally fulfilled their early promise, retiring to the mountains and living a life that could not be more ordinary.

Jing Yinchuan recaptured the major families in the demon world, became the new Demon Lord, and married Yan Ru as the Demon Queen.

Lan Feiyue was also pushed to the position of Valley Master and accepted a disciple who was born with a spiritual fetus.

"Valley Master, I'm here to say goodbye." Hua Lingzhi said.

"Where are you going?" Lan Feiyue stood up. In this valley, she only had Hua Lingzhi as her close sister. Now that she had reached a high position, she didn't even have anyone to talk to in private.

"Anywhere is fine."

She originally came to Yinyou Valley to serve Ye Musi. Now that everything has been resolved, it is natural for her to leave.

"Would you please not leave?"

"I'm sorry." She said regretfully. There were too many rules here. She didn't like being bound. She wanted to be free. She wanted to go back to Sunset Island.

Hua Lingzhi wanted to leave, and Lan Feiyue couldn't stop her.

However, Hua Lingzhi would send a letter back wherever she went, and would return to the valley to reunite with her every Mid-Autumn Festival.

And Mu Chi is looking for his reincarnation in this vast three realms.
