Chapter 1436 (Final Chapter)

A state of chaos.

Song Chunxue felt as if she were floating in the wind with her eyes closed, like a cloud, yet she could still see.

It was hazy and indistinct, with light and darkness in front of me, gentle and quiet.

It felt like being inside the mother's womb.

Although she doesn't quite remember what it felt like to be inside her mother's womb.

But now I feel that this is exactly how I feel right now.

It's even lighter and more comfortable than being in the mother's womb, without being squeezed or jostled.

I can feel my limbs are light and airy, and I can see other things, but I can't see myself.

She tried to see more clearly, gazing at the distant mist, mountains, and river, as if she had suddenly appeared on the opposite mountain.

Suddenly, we found ourselves in the sun, on a smooth, flat rock atop a high peak, warmed by the sunlight.

She sat down.

A faint sound came from beside my ear; it was a triangular pyramid.

Her mind suddenly cleared considerably, and she could almost see herself amidst beautiful mountains and rivers, with a gentle breeze, meditating peacefully.

The triangular pyramid enveloped her within a barrier, allowing her to focus her mind and be undisturbed by anything, thus enabling her to concentrate and temper her body.

Although, it seems she no longer has a body.

Not only did I lose my body, but all the worries, anxieties, fears, joys, sorrows, and things I couldn't let go of seemed to have vanished.

This light, soft feeling, which even tastes sweet when exposed to the sun, is quite nice.

Moreover, she seemed not to need to eat or drink, nor did she seem to mind that time was passing too slowly or too quickly. She would sit blankly on the rock without feeling uncomfortable, and could sit there for a long time.

I enjoy the alternation of dawn and dusk, the changing of the seasons, sunshine and rain, snow and sunshine. I don't think of anyone, I'm not anxious or flustered. I just follow time, feel the gentle breeze and drizzle, and smell the fragrance of flowers, grass and trees.

And so, an unknown amount of time passed.

In short, she watched many springs, and a tree grew from the crack in the rock next to her. At first, the tree only reached her ankles, but then it grew very quickly, surpassing her, until at noon it would completely cover her in its shade.

Song Chunxue felt that she sometimes had a body and sometimes didn't.

She remembers her own name, but doesn't think about anything else.

Until one day, she had a dream.

In her dream, someone was calling her name.

It didn't sound like her own name, but she knew it was calling her.

"Disciple, it's time to wake up."

"Junior brother, come back."

"Ah Xue, where are you?"

"Mother, are you alright?"

"Mother, I'm leaving."

"Mother, I've come to find you. Thankfully, you're not in the underworld."

"Mother, will you still remember me in the next life?"

"Mother, I'm sorry."

"Ah Xue, it's okay. I hope you're doing well."

...

A jumble of noise filled my ears, and in an instant, the place I had been in for so long disappeared.

She was caught in the vortex, surrounded by a hazy atmosphere, as something desperately tried to penetrate her body and soul.

It hurts a little, feels damp, and is a little cold; then it gets a little hot and stuffy...

Bang.

Her body gained weight and fell to the ground.

"Hey, Master, someone fell out over there."

"where?"

The rustling footsteps grew closer, and Song Chunxue slowly opened her eyes.

"Junior brother! Junior brother! Come here quickly!"

Song Chunxue covered her ears; it was too noisy.

The sound was so loud, she almost went deaf.

"What's wrong? Why are you making such a fuss..."

Suddenly, the surroundings became quiet, which was very eerie.

A leaf and a piece of ash landed on her nose.

Song Chunxue looked down and found herself dressed in dark red clothes, sitting by the weeds, with a tombstone next to her.

Oh dear, how presumptuous of her to sit on someone's grave!

She quickly stood up, bowed to the tombstone, and said, "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you. Please forgive me for any offense."

In a panic, she instinctively pulled out some yellow paper from her storage ring and lit it on fire.

"I'm sorry, this is just a small apology..."

As she was speaking, she froze.

The inscription on the tombstone reads: Song Chunxue?

Wasn't it herself?

"Ah Xue, is that you?"

Song Chunxue turned her head and saw two men staring at her with wide eyes. The man walking towards her had a head of dazzling white hair.

The next moment, she was gently pulled into an embrace. "You..."

Suppressed sobs, and wet tears falling onto her shoulder, she could clearly hear her own heartbeat.

Looking up, the person opposite him breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Junior brother, you really are something else."

Song Chunxue called out, "Senior brother?"

"Hmm." Zhang Chengxuan raised his hand and made a few gestures in the air, sending several talisman-like objects flying out. "I'll notify them."

"Mom, you've finally decided to come back! My God!" Wuyou suddenly rushed over and bumped into Song Chunxue on the forehead.

"Thump!" The triangular pyramid sent him flying, transforming into a screen that blocked their path.

"Hey, who are you to dare bump into me..." Wuyou was about to curse when his voice suddenly softened. "Fine, you're the boss, you call the shots. If you don't come soon, it'll be too late."

Song Chunxue gradually came to her senses, took out a handkerchief and wiped away the tears of the person in front of her. She found that his hair and beard were all white and his face looked a little old, but his eyes were still familiar.

"How many years have passed?"

Xie Zheng held her hand, stared at her, and answered gently, "Thirty years have passed. Where have you been?"

Before she could answer, a voice came from the sky, "You actually came back. Heaven has the virtue of cherishing life, but this world cannot tolerate you. You should not have come back."

Xie Zheng pulled her behind him. "Senior brother, how long until Master and the others return?"

"Fifteen minutes, let's stall for a bit."

Song Chunxue patted Xie Zheng's hand, stepped forward calmly, and a red jade pendant hung from the peach wood hairpin in her hair.

“Playing tricks,” she smiled, raised her right hand, touched her thumb and middle finger together, and flicked it lightly, “Come down.”

"Boom!"

A ten-meter-wide crater was created in an open area not far away.

"Go, tie him up and throw him into the furnace to refine pills!"

"yes!"

"yes!"

"yes!"

Two swords and a cone flew over and pierced through the thing in the pit.

"Roar~"

A dragon's roar echoed from the sky. Song Chunxue turned her head and saw that the stubborn donkey had arrived.

Xie Zheng stared at her blankly, "Are you...?"

“I am Song Chunxue,” she said, extending her hand. “What, Lord Xie, don’t you recognize me?”

A gentle breeze ruffled her long hair; her smile remained, but her eyes were even more composed and gentle.

Xie Zheng had never seen her dressed so elegantly before, with a faint golden mark between her brows.

Regardless of her current status, it's good that she's back.

It's good that you're back.

—The End.

P.S.: This story could go on for a long time, but this is my first time writing about cultivation, and also my first time writing such a down-to-earth farming story. I used to have a bit of a Western-worshipping mentality, thinking that my hometown was too rustic and had no potential, and that farming stories were too fantastical...

This is my first time writing about reality, and I laughed and cried while writing it. Thank you all for your company.

I really can't control what happens next, and my updates have been unstable lately. I apologize to everyone for this and thank you for your understanding and forgiveness.

I've been working on a new story lately, but it hasn't been going well. I hope we can have this kind of soul-resonance again next time. Thank you, dear readers.

May you be happy, safe, healthy, and have all your wishes come true.
