Mo Wenxian slumped into a chair, a look of guilt in his eyes.

Ling Yun glanced at her and then waved his hand to unfurl a scroll.

In the painting, Fairy Zixia never smiles; she spends all her time cultivating Taoism.

She has been stuck at the Great Emperor realm for countless years, unable to advance further in the path of Supreme Forgetfulness.

In the end, in order to fulfill her master's wish, she took a risk and used a secret method to try to become an immortal in an unconventional way, but she was ruthlessly obliterated by the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

Her soul dissipated before reaching the point of reincarnation, ending her cycle in this lifetime.

There is no way to reincarnate, and the promise to protect Brother Stone for a lifetime cannot be fulfilled.

But the Great Sage remains the same Great Sage, brave and fearless, dominating the world.

However, he remained alone, often muttering to himself:

"There was once a sincere love placed before me, but I did not cherish it. Only when I lost it did I regret it."

Nothing in this world is more painful than this. If God could give me another chance, I would say three words to that girl: "I love you!" If I had to put a time limit on this love, I hope it would be for all eternity!

The Great Sage remained fixated on his dream, traversing the cycle of reincarnation and searching every corner of the world, but he could never find his Red Phoenix, the Rabbit, the Calico Cat, and the Fairy Zixia again.

Ultimately, his obsession became too deep, and the Great Sage's path to immortality was halted at the Immortal King realm.

After viewing the painting, Mo Wenxian collapsed to the ground, weeping bitterly.

"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!"

Ling Yun said sternly:

"Your obstruction! Your selfishness! Caused Zixia to be unable to reincarnate. From the calico cat in the previous life to Zixia in this life, only fifty years have passed. It was the calico cat's soul that begged the Heavenly Dao of Reincarnation to allow her to be born ahead of time."

The price is no more reincarnation!

The Great Sage is a spirit-possessed stone that mended the heavens. Even the future Celestial Emperor will be unable to become an emperor due to your selfishness.

Are you still going to stop them?

"No!" Mo Wenxian shook his head desperately.

"Senior Lingyun, I was wrong! I was wrong!"

Mo Wenxian burst into tears, filled with deep self-reproach. She was unaware that her disciple and the Great Sage's predestined relationship had continued from the beginning of time to this lifetime.

Little did they know that in order to truly be together, they went through three reincarnations, each time experiencing life and death.

Ling Yun helped Mo Wenxian up and calmly said:

"Sect Master Mo, you are not incapable of becoming an immortal. The true meaning of the Supreme Forgetfulness of Emotions lies in experiencing true emotions and comprehending the Way of Emotion, because only by having emotions can one forget them."

Emotion is the foundation of the highest level of detachment from emotion.

You were going in the wrong direction from the very beginning!

Mo Wenxian finally understood and bowed deeply to Ling Yun.

"Thank you for your guidance, Senior Ling!"

Ling Yun nodded slightly, accepting the bow. "Do you know what to do next?"

"This junior understands!"

Mo Wenxian smiled.

...

Ling Yun returned to the Great Sage's Dojo, where both Qiongqi and the Yellow Emperor were present. They asked at the same time:

"Resolved?"

Ling Yun smiled and nodded.

"Did you beat up Mo Wenxian?" Qiongqi asked, raising his fist.

Ling Yun chuckled, "Violence cannot solve all problems."

The Great Sage breathed a slight sigh of relief, as if some fragments of memory were floating in his mind.

About fifteen minutes later, Mo Wenxian led Fairy Zixia into the Great Sage's Dojo.

Upon seeing Fairy Zixia again, the Great Sage's buried memories were fully restored.

He knew why he felt a sense of familiarity upon first meeting Zixia Fairy.

It turns out they've known each other for billions of years.

"Brother Stone!"

Zixia Fairy rushed into the arms of the Great Sage and wept with joy. She also regained her memories of her three lifetimes.

"You are my lovebird, my little rabbit, my calico cat!"

The Great Sage embraced Fairy Zixia tightly, shedding tears as a celestial king.

The lost memories were not erased by someone, but sealed away by the Great Sage himself.

Back then, he was just a spiritually connected stone used to mend the heavens, yet he vowed to protect Hongluan.

He only passed away before Hongluan. When the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Stone were reassembled after countless changes of time, he finally met Hongluan's reincarnation, the little rabbit.

At that time, he desperately absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, hoping to become a demon as soon as possible and protect the weak and pitiful little rabbit.

However, he was helpless against the extreme cold that descended upon the world and could only watch helplessly as the little rabbit froze to death beside the rock.

Later, the stone that mended the sky finally became a demon. He couldn't wait to become a disciple and cultivate. After becoming stronger, he searched the world for the reincarnation of the little rabbit.

It wasn't until he became the invincible Great Sage, and until he was suppressed under the Five Finger Mountain on the Golden Cloud Continent, that he met the calico cat who was the reincarnation of a little rabbit.

When the calico cat died, the Great Sage cried until he went blind and was heartbroken to the point of suffocation.

When he woke up again, he didn't remember Hongluan, the little rabbit, or the calico cat.

Those three lifetimes were too painful. Each time, he met the woman he wanted to protect for life when he was at his most powerless.

It hurt too much! So the Great Sage chose to seal this memory away.

"Brother Stone, in this life I am a human, possessing great talent. I will protect you for this lifetime!"

Fairy Zixia wiped away the tears on the Great Sage's face and said with a smile.

She smiled happily and contentedly, finally able to fulfill her promise.

The Great Sage stroked away the tears on Fairy Zixia's face and smiled:

"We will protect each other, never to be separated in this life, and for all eternity!"

The two embraced again, moving everyone present. Abao and Lingxi, who had rushed over, cried their hearts out.

They then learned that the Great Sage and Fairy Zixia were a couple who had transcended billions of years and spanned an entire era.

Fate was very unkind to them, but they did not give up.

Perhaps their actions moved the heavens, and in this life they can finally be together.

In this life, the Great Sage is already a Celestial King, possessing sufficient power to protect his Red Phoenix, Little Rabbit, and Calico Cat.

In this life, Fairy Zixia possesses unparalleled talent and has ample time to fulfill her promise and protect Brother Stone.

Mo Wenxian bowed to the Great Sage and said solemnly:

"Great Sage, from now on, Zixia is entrusted to you. May you two be united in the end, and may you have no regrets in this life!"

The Great Sage clasped his hands in a fist salute and said:

"Thank you, Sect Master Mo!"

The following morning, Mo Wenxian had an epiphany after hearing Ling Yun's words, and mustered up the courage to go into seclusion again to break through to the realm of immortality.

Before going into seclusion, she announced that Zixia had been promoted to the position of Patriarch of the Celestial Immortal Sect and would henceforth follow the Great Sage on his cultivation journey.

The sect's affairs are temporarily being managed by the eldest disciple, Chixia.

After enjoying the delicious food of the three heavenly immortals and eighteen beauties, Ling Yun and his group boarded the Refining Heaven Cauldron and flew towards the Stone Domain.

On the way, Lingyun used the remaining Fairy Mother Green Copper to forge four top-tier magical artifacts.

Huang Ling'er's God-Slaying Whip, Fairy Zixia's Purple-Green Sword, and Little Phoenix's Immortal Mother Green Copper Cudgel—she thought the Great Sage wielding his cudgel was very imposing, so she took the cudgel as her natal magic weapon.

There was also the axe of the poor white man, who felt he possessed the power to create the world and that only by using the axe could he demonstrate his strength.

Along the way, Qiong Bai and Ling An, one carrying the Heaven-Opening Axe and the other wielding a battle halberd, fought fiercely inside the Heaven-Refining Cauldron every day.

Three months later, the Refining Heaven Cauldron passed through the cosmic boundary and arrived at a vast starry sky.

There is a brightest star in the sky.

This is the ancestral land of the Great Sage, and also the place where his marriage with Fairy Zixia began.

Stone Domain!
