I see the world for you

Thirty years flew by in a flash. After they had traveled together across most of the mountains and rivers, Feng Jingluo's mind was at peace. One day, his entire body shone with brilliance, and he was guided by a ray of light, ascending into heaven in broad daylight. A thunder tribulation unforgivable to immortals. They didn't even have time to say goodbye, and could only watch in amazement as Feng Jingluo vanished. When they came to their senses, it was still like a dream, disbelief. Though immortal, for them, it felt like they were separated forever, never to see each other again. Bai Yuge was the first to leave, almost in a panic, fleeing to the sect to retreat, refusing to come out. Jiang Chen and Wen Xuanqing followed suit, working together to refine elixirs and weapons. Xu Mobai, unhurried, asked Yun Ruchen if she planned to continue her travels or return to the sect. Yun Ruchen gazed at the horizon, lost in thought, for a long moment before replying, "There are still many places in the human world she hasn't yet explored. I'll explore them for her." Xu Mobai sighed, his emotions swirling in his mind. If it were him, he would have found such a result difficult to accept. But as for Feng Jingluo and Yun Ruchen, he seemed to have already made peace with the situation. His smile reflected the gentle sunlight. "Since I'm free, I'll walk with you a little longer," Xu Mobai shrugged. After all, Yun Ruchen had made up her mind not to cultivate, and his presence could offer some protection. "Thank you." Over the next decade or so, the two of them traveled together. They visited Qixia Mountain, where Yun Ruchen wanted to see the place where she had fought, thus reclaiming the ground Feng Jingluo had once trod. Then they headed to the coast, taking a boat to a small island, a breathtakingly beautiful place with perennial flowers. Xu Mobai watched from the side, witnessing Yun Ruchen find a cave and carve a formation within it, encapsulating the island's beauty. He left the cave, leaning against the stone wall, listening to the voices within, feeling a sense of melancholy. As time went on, Xu Mobai could no longer remember how many places he and Yun Ruchen had visited. He only knew that at each place, he would leave a formation like this, briefly describing how he had found the place and what he had done recently. He spoke little, but every word was filled with longing. Later, Xu Mobai could no longer bear watching Yun Ruchen wander around year after year, leaving behind these traces. He had no choice but to bid him farewell and return to the sect to cultivate. For the next hundred years, Yun Ruchen was alone, treading the unfinished path. During these hundred years, Jiang Chen and Wen Xuanqing emerged from seclusion three times in the first twenty years, sending messages asking about his recent life. They also chatted about their research, and then for the next twenty years, perhaps reaching a critical juncture, they remained secluded. In between, he returned to the sect several times to discuss his experiences with his mother and father. They had already… Thirty years had passed in the blink of an eye.

After they had traveled together for most of the mountains and rivers, Feng Jingluo's mind was at peace. One day, her entire body shone with brilliance, and she was guided by a ray of light and ascended into heaven in broad daylight.

There was no thunder tribulation for immortal cultivators. They didn't have time to say goodbye one after another, and could only watch in amazement as Feng Jingluo's figure disappeared.

When I came to my senses, I still felt like I was dreaming and couldn't believe it.

Although they became immortals, for some of them, it was as if they were separated by heaven and earth forever and would never see each other again.

The first one to leave was Bai Yuge. He almost fled in panic and rushed to the sect to go into seclusion, refusing to come out.

The next to leave were Jiang Chen and Wen Xuanqing. They were going to work together to develop alchemy and refining equipment.

Xu Mobai had nothing to do, so he asked Yun Ruchen whether he planned to continue sightseeing or return to the sect.

Yun Ruchen stared at the horizon in a trance for a long time before replying, "There are still many places in the world that she has not set foot on. I will go and see them for her next time."

Xu Mobai sighed, his emotions mixed for a moment. If it were him, he would definitely find it hard to accept such a result.

But as for Feng Jingluo and Yun Ruchen, he seemed to have already faced it calmly, and the smile on his face reflected the soft sunlight.

"I just happened to have nothing to do, so I'll walk with you for a while." Xu Mobai shrugged. After all, Yun Ruchen had made up his mind not to practice cultivation, and he could provide some protection by being by his side.

"Thank you very much."

Over the next ten years, the two of them traveled together to Qixia Mountain. Yun Ruchen wanted to see the place where she had fought.

In this way, the land that the wind had once walked on was covered again.

Then we went to the seaside and took a boat to a small island. It was extremely beautiful with flowers blooming all year round.

Xu Mobai was watching from the side, witnessing Yun Ruchen find a cave, carve a formation inside it, and condense the beautiful scenery of the island into the formation.

He walked out of the cave, leaned against the stone wall, listened to the voices inside, and felt depressed.

After a long time, Xu Mobai could no longer remember how many places he and Yun Ruchen had visited.

All I know is that wherever he goes, he will leave a formation like this, briefly describing how he found this place and what he has done recently.

There are not many words, but every word is filled with longing.

Later, Xu Mobai couldn't bear to see Yun Ruchen wandering around year after year, leaving these marks.

I had no choice but to say goodbye to him and return to the sect to practice.

In the following hundred years, Yun Ruchen was the only one walking the unfinished journey.

During these hundred years, Jiang Chen and Wen Xuanqing came out of seclusion three times in the first twenty years, and sent messages asking about his recent life.

We chatted about their research again, and then for the next twenty years, perhaps because they had reached a critical point, they never came out again.

In the meantime, he went back to the sect several times to talk with his mother and father about what he saw and heard on the road. They had accepted it all and were happy to see him happy and at ease.

Only half of the hundred years had passed when Bai Yuge came out of seclusion and sent him a message. Yun Ruchen notified Xu Mobai to meet him together.

Unfortunately, Jiang Chen and Wen Xuanqing are still in seclusion and cannot be contacted.

"I have decided to survive the thunder tribulation." The words came out of his mouth lightly.

Xu Mobai was the first to react, "You are too impulsive!"

He disagreed, "Thunder tribulation is not that easy to survive. How many people have fallen under it? At your current level, you can wait for a thousand years and prepare for another thunder tribulation!"

There were less than a hundred years left before Feng Jingluo ascended to heaven, and Bai Yuge was too anxious.

"I can't wait." He stood straight, stubbornly refusing to retreat.

"I don't know if becoming an immortal is as wonderful as the records say. After all, those who recorded it have never seen an immortal."

"She's waiting for me." Bai Yuge looked at Yun Ruchen, "I want to go see her."

Yun Ruchen breathed a sigh of relief and patted Xu Mobai on the shoulder, "Is everything ready?"

Bai Yuge nodded.

"When will I transcend the tribulation?"

"Three days from now," he asked, "is there anything you want to tell her?"

After Yun Ruchen thought about it, he said, "Tell her to come back and visit later if possible."

Xu Mobai held his forehead and stopped trying to dissuade him. He tried his best to find some things with Yun Ruchen to increase Bai Yuge's chances of success.

Three days later, people from various sects came to watch Bai Yuge overcome the tribulation.

Nine divine thunders tore through the sky, darkening the sky, and struck Bai Yuge one after another.

The sixth blow made him fall from the air, and his blood evaporated before it hit the ground, leaving his body black.

Bai Yuge failed to survive the tribulation, but fortunately all the sect leaders were there and used their protective magic weapons to protect him.

It took several years of recuperation to heal the injury.

Xu Mobai wanted to dissuade her, but he also knew that this stubborn girl would not listen. As a friend, all he could do was to contact her after Jiang Chen came out of confinement to work together to find a solution.

He once again traveled with Yun Ruchen to search for rare treasures and hand them over to Jiang Chen and Wen Xuanqing.

Another thirty years later, Jiang Chen and Wen Xuanqing came out of seclusion, apparently having made some progress in their research, and were delighted to meet the two of them.

Rowing on the river, eating delicious food, drinking tea and talking about the past.

"Xuanqing and I have reached a critical juncture in our research. Success or failure depends on this."

"To relax, I also wanted to meet you, but unfortunately, while the two of us have come out of seclusion, Bai Yuge is still in seclusion."

"How is the research site?" Xu Mobai asked.

"Xuan Qing has carved all things into the vessel, and drawn divine thunder to enable it to overcome the calamity." She said, "And I will fuse all things into one elixir."

"Let's not talk about this," Jiang Chen shook his head and chuckled, "What about you two?"

Xu Mobai sighed, "What else can I do? I have to accompany him around and carve array patterns," he pointed at Yun Ruchen who was smiling beside him, "and at the same time I have to search for rare treasures for that lunatic Bai Yuge."

"It's even more tiring than my training!"

"Over the years, I've seen that you haven't made much progress in your practice. Just like what I said when I first met you, you are a lazy person." Wen Xuanqing interjected.

Xu Mobai sneered, "I can't become an immortal anyway, and my life span will eventually end, so I might as well enjoy myself while I can."

"Alright, it's rare for us to meet and not talk about this." Xu Mobai waved his hand and smiled at the two of them, "When you succeed, please ask Brother Yun and I to watch."

The two nodded.

"You will definitely be there for us. When Bai Yuge overcomes the tribulation again, don't forget to call us."

They will take a break recently, which is a good opportunity for them to refine more pills and magic treasures for Bai Yuge to increase his chances of successfully overcoming the tribulation.

After this meeting, the number of people walking together increased to four. Without waiting for Jiang Chen and Wen Xuanqing to retreat again, Bai Yuge came out and planned to overcome the tribulation again.

It has only been a hundred years now, and the four people did not dissuade him, but just silently handed him the things they had prepared.

Each thunder tribulation is more difficult than the last. If you can't survive this time, it's unlikely that there will be a next time.

The leaders of various sects and the geniuses they once knew all rushed to Qixia Mountain to watch Bai Yuge overcome the tribulation.

This time, they were indeed better prepared, and they survived the first six thunderbolts safely. With the seventh, Bai Yuge took Jiang Chen's elixir, and with the eighth, the spiritual treasures refined by Wen Xuanqing shattered one after another.

The ninth divine thunder tore Bai Yuge's body apart, leaving only a vague soul shadow floating in the lightning.

In the silence, a ray of rosy light from the sky shone on Bai Yuge's soul. He survived the thunder tribulation with his soul and ascended to become an immortal.

"He's done..." Xu Mobai muttered to himself, his eyes widening. He took out a wine flask from his storage ring, filled two cups, and handed them to Yun Ruchen, "To Brother Bai."

It may be difficult for us to meet again in the future, I wish you all the best.

Perhaps Bai Yuge's ascension stimulated Jiang Chen and Wen Xuanqing, so they went back to seclusion.

Another twenty years passed, and in the monk's equally long life, a few decades seemed no different from a few months.

On this day, Wen Xuanqing asked Jiang Chen to call Yun Ruchen and Xu Mobai, as she was preparing to refine a divine weapon.

"Can I help you?" She had assisted Wen Xuanqing more than once and was now quite skilled in refining equipment.

"No need," Wen Xuanqing smiled and touched Jiang Chen's head, "Just wait for me outside the cave. We'll know whether it succeeds or not soon."

Perhaps to witness the results of many years of hard work, Jiang Chen became inexplicably nervous and subconsciously held Wen Xuanqing's hand.

"Don't worry, if you fail in refining the weapon, you can just start over. I'll be fine."

Jiang Chen nodded, hesitantly let go of his hand, took out the token to message Xu Mobai, and looked at Wen Xuanqing frequently.

After the two arrived, Wen Xuanqing walked into the cave alone, closed the door, and began to refine the weapon.

Jiang Chen and others were waiting outside the mansion. Unable to see what was happening inside, they paced back and forth, frowning.

"Don't worry, you're at the senior level, so even if you fail, nothing will happen."

Xu Mobai's comfort did not make Jiang Chen feel at ease. Instead, as time passed, his anxiety became more severe.

Time passed too long, half a month passed quietly, and there was no sound in the mansion.

Until one day, fire fell from the sky, went straight to the cave and set it on fire.

Jiang Chen just stood up in shock, "Heavenly punishment!"

“Why is there a divine punishment?”

If it is refined into a divine weapon, at most it will be a thunder tribulation, how can there be a heavenly punishment?

Xu Mobai and Yun Ruchen didn't know much about refining weapons, so they couldn't help but look worried when they heard this.

The skyfire burned fiercely for seven days. After seven days, a myriad of rays of light appeared, and the cave entrance exploded. But what flew out from the rays of light was not a divine weapon, but Wen Xuanqing, whose body was lustrous and covered with patterns of artifacts.

Her figure was drawn by the sunset glow and unconsciously drifted towards the horizon.

She opened her mouth to say something, but her voice couldn't be heard. Fortunately, Jiang Chen could read her lips.

She said, don't blame her for not telling him in advance, she didn't know whether it would succeed, and didn't want to make Jiang Chen worry.

In today's world of cultivating immortals, it is difficult to find artifacts that are old enough for refining, and without a divine fetus, it is naturally impossible to make a divine artifact.

After much deliberation, Wen Xuanqing decided to use himself as a divine fetus and refine himself into a divine weapon.

She has been burning her body for half a month, and after attracting divine punishment, she managed to survive. Now that her mission is accomplished, she will fly away from this world.

"Inside the cave, there's a gift I left for you. Come find us as soon as possible."

Jiang Chen's eyes turned red and she nodded continuously. After Wen Xuanqing's figure disappeared, she ran into the cave and saw the runes carved on the walls.

This is the method of refining weapons that Wen Xuanqing understood during the seven days of being burned by the heavenly fire. It may be helpful to Jiang Chen.

He stroked the runes with his fingers, wiped the moisture from the corners of his eyes, and looked at them with a frightening determination, "Wait for me!"

Jiang Chen bid farewell to the two and went into the cave to prepare for alchemy.

Xu Mobai looked at the blocked cave entrance in silence. It seemed that he was destined to see his friends off one by one.

Time is like running water, you just listen to it flowing by, you can’t catch it, and you can’t keep it.

After another twenty years, Jiang Chen searched all over the world for things, placed a giant tripod between the sea and the sky, drew runes on the sky, the earth, and the sea, built an altar, and cast all things into it.

She used this world as the fire for alchemy and resisted together with the cauldron. During this period, her body was repeatedly burned and cracked. She always remembered Wen Xuanqing's words, "Come find us."

There was no flame, but the space around the tripod was distorted.

The event was very grand and many people came to watch. The tripod had been hanging in the air for three years, and these people came and went one after another, waiting for three years.

Three years later, the fragrance of the elixir turned into mist and dissipated over the sea. Everyone who smelled it felt their bodies lighten.

A translucent pill flew out of the cauldron, its surface resembling rivers and mountains. Jiang Chen swallowed it, and the scars from repeated burning disappeared, leaving his skin flawless and translucent. He flew into the rosy glow with the cauldron and disappeared.

Xu Mobai ignored the noisy noise around him and waved silently at the sky.

Yun Ruchen walked up to his side and they smiled at each other.

Xu Mobai knew that he would soon have to send Yun Ruchen away, and in the end he would be the only one left in the world.

Whether alive or dead, may my friend be forever safe.
