The chivalrous woman protected Qingyang County. The dark fog on the horizon dissipated, revealing the territory outside the city. Finally, it was no longer a besieged city. The city lord tried to persuade the chivalrous woman to stay, but she said, "I want to travel the world and slaughter all the darkness under heaven."

Her ambition was no longer limited to fighting, but to sow the seeds of enlightenment everywhere, and from then on, there were countless 'she's' in the world.

The procession leaving the city gate was quite high-profile, with people lining the carriages to see them off, the carriages overflowing with fresh fruit and flowers, and everyone reluctantly bidding them farewell.

Just as Tu Longjian was about to step out of the city gate, a white figure appeared out of nowhere.

Yun Mo remained expressionless: "You're not dead." His tone was flat and even, but only upon close inspection could one notice a very slight curve at the corner of his lips, as if something had changed.

Tu Longjian raised an eyebrow, and sure enough, he saw Yun Mo suddenly rush over and attack her out of control, causing chaos throughout the city.

However, Tu Longjian, who was now cultivating the Path of Ruthlessness, was no longer weak. She swiftly and decisively stabbed Yun Mo through the heart, dismembered him, and then left gracefully.

The people laughed happily. An old man tried to spit on Yun Mo's corpse, but was shocked to find that Yun Mo's eyes were open, and the scattered pieces of flesh rapidly gathered together, gradually piecing together a new Yun Mo, who was even more handsome.

But the people had no time to admire his beauty; they were all sweating profusely and scattered, shouting that there was a ghost.

Yun Mo stood still for a moment, ignoring the people who had offended him, his eyes fixed firmly on Tu Longjian's direction, and chased after him.

He was like a pre-programmed machine, with only one obsession in his mind: find Tu Longjian and kill her!

The surrounding cities all knew that a mad dog was chasing the heroine, so they all used their special abilities and were prepared to sacrifice themselves. Strangely, Yun Mo did not attack them. Sometimes they could kill him, but Yun Mo would eventually be reborn and continue to chase the heroine.

Tu Longjian has been quite annoyed lately, as Yun Mo is appearing around him more and more frequently. It seems that the more Yun Mo is killed, the more excited he gets; every time he suffers a gruesome death, he still chases after him like a persistent, mangy dog.

As time went on, Tu Longjian couldn't shake him off and had no choice but to accept his existence. When she was in a bad mood, she would kill Yun Mo to vent her anger, and from time to time she would throw his body parts to scare the enemy. And it has to be said, this was more effective than killing people. Many villains were so frightened by this that they died of fright.

Thirty years of travel have brought peace and tranquility to the land.

Tu Longjian had gradually eradicated the darkness, transforming almost every place he went into a civilized city. He had also sown the seeds of civilization and was now retiring after achieving his goal.

A voice echoed in her mind, urging her to leave the Three Thousand Mortal Realms.

[Congratulations, you have found the path to freedom. Your will is yours to command, and all is in your grasp.]

The power of merit gathered once more, shaping her into a golden body, allowing her to forge her own form, and her memories were restored.

[Eh... No way! Oh no!] A heavy sigh was followed by surprise.

[This realm has actually recognized you as its master and is about to break away from the Spirit Gathering Realm to form its own world. You are truly blessed.] Yan Die's voice was tinged with bitterness.

The Azure Sun Realm transformed into a smooth mirror and fell into his palm. Tu Longjian smiled and said, "I am deeply grateful for the kindness of the Realm Master."

His cultivation level has also returned, and he has now upgraded to...

——Nascent Soul Stage

Having survived a great calamity and been brought back to life, she did not undergo the normal tribulation process for this advancement, but instead ascended directly through trials.

As her memories returned, she learned from the fortune-telling device that Chu Tiankuo was the second chosen one—a ruthless Daoist who murdered his wife to attain enlightenment.

While suffering from amnesia, she inadvertently turned the tables and stole her opponent's luck.

There was only good news, but also bad news: Chu Tiankuo hadn't died. Otherwise, the demise of the chosen one would have caused a huge reaction from the Heavenly Dao. However, at this moment, all was calm, except for Yun Mo, who was always by his side.

Tu Longjian stared intently at him as if facing a formidable enemy. Both of them had lost their memories and their cultivation levels were suppressed in the secret realm. After she cultivated the Ruthless Dao, killing Yun Mo was very easy.

Now that both of them have left the secret realm and their strength and memories have returned, she can't guarantee that she can still easily turn the tables, especially since her opponent's ability to regenerate makes her very wary.

Yun Mo's emotions have stabilized considerably. Perhaps it was because he had developed feelings after being killed in the secret realm that he was sometimes able to suppress his killing urges and chat with Tu Longjian.

Realizing Tu Longjian's tension, he suppressed his killing intent, nodded, and then flew away, disappearing without a trace. It can only be said that Tu Longjian's immediate crisis was temporarily resolved.

Another thing that puzzled her was that Chu Tiankuo's favorability rating was actually full.

In other words, even with maximum favorability, he could still harm his wife, and even after being killed by her and barely surviving, his favorability remained unchanged, seemingly due to a twisted mentality.

Tu Longjian shuddered, feeling a chill run down his spine. He realized that there seemed to be more and more perverts around him, and they might have developed Stockholm syndrome.

She carefully examined the Qingyang Mirror in her hand. As the owner of the mirror, she could see the scene in it as long as she looked into it. The people lived in peace and prosperity, and women made up more than half of the people on the long street. Everyone's face was filled with a smile of satisfaction, even though they had worked hard.

Tu Longjian was unconsciously infected by the effect, and a smile crept onto his lips. Just then, the voice of the Five Elements Mystic Scripture rang out, much to his delight:

[This mirror is a small mustard seed space. As it gradually upgrades to a large mustard seed space and the power of faith gathers, you will have the opportunity to obtain godhood.]

[You have mastered divine arts and, through trials and tribulations, have been reborn from the ashes to find your own path and obtain a divine heart. Now, of the three elements—divine essence, divine heart, and divine arts—you only lack divine essence to complete the three elements. The path to godhood is within reach!]

Tu Longjian was also pleasantly surprised. The Heavenly Dao's coercion had actually accelerated her rapid growth. Soon, she would be able to challenge the Heavenly Dao.

After putting away the Qingyang Mirror, Tu Longjian floated into the air and sped towards the cultivation world at a hundred times the previous speed.

With mountains and rivers at her feet, she sped away. Tu Longjian found herself high in the sky, her spiritual power automatically protecting her from the fierce energy generated by the rapid flight, and her mind became much more open.

Upon returning to the sect, she found it teeming with cultivators. The mountain gate felt both familiar and unfamiliar, with many new faces. Among them, numerous eyes turned to her, curiously watching her as she stood there, weary from her journey.

Tu Longjian took a deep breath and strode through the door.

A dejected figure slunk past her, his face extremely familiar. With the help of the fortune-telling device, Tu Longjian realized that it was Yuan Jialiang, the last chosen one.

He no longer seemed as spirited as before, and Shangguan Yao, the daughter of a top-tier cultivation family, was not by his side. Tu Longjian glanced over and realized that his golden core had shattered.

At the same time, the original owner's long-buried memories resurfaced in Tu Longjian's mind.
