Born! The Mountain Bun Army.
A slender figure in black flashed over first; it was Jian Yuan.
Gui Wangyuan's spear was behind him, in the hand of Emperor Zangli.
The Emperor was surrounded by immortals who peered ahead, flew close by, and silently offered their prayers.
Their expressions were solemn, immersed in a scene of flickering flames and shadows, against a backdrop of stark whiteness and crumbling ruins.
A uniquely youthful yet warm smile appeared on Jianyuan's face. In his eyes were me and Xie Jinhui, as well as the background and the raging fire he had ignited around us.
His eyes were blazing, and the small puddles beneath them seemed about to burst, yet nothing could extinguish them.
Jianyuan swallowed the bitterness into his nostrils and spoke in a muffled tone.
"Father, Mother. Is the fire cold?"
He gave an awkward smile, and I understood his meaning.
I shook my head and said, "Not cold, not hot, just right, that's it..."
Jianyuan was immediately anxious and frowned.
"Mother, are you feeling unwell?"
The flames ruffled my hair like a cool breeze. I ran my hand through it, looked the ravine up and down, and then chuckled rather than act like an elder.
"My son, I didn't get to see you grow up. I feel a little regretful about that!"
This is what I truly believe. How could I, a goddess who loves beauty so much, not see that Jianyuan is a promising talent?
"Mother, this is easy." Jianyuan pursed his lips and relaxed his brows. I saw that a ball of fire also ignited on his body, the color of which was like a phoenix being reborn from the ashes.
The little phoenix in the flames raised its arm, its form blurred in the flickering firelight.
His voice changed from a boyish tone to a slightly rougher, more profound one.
"Jianyuan just didn't want to grow up, but today, the opportunity has come, and it's time for me to grow up too."
"Mom, look!"
The fiery mist of the blurry figure in the ravine flashed by, and I first saw him extend his slender fingers and place them on the barrier wall.
Then, as his height increased, my gaze, which had been level with his, suddenly shifted upwards.
Wow, when I saw the appearance of Qingjianyuan, only one thought popped into my mind.
"Xie Jinhui, your title of the most handsome man in the immortal realm is in jeopardy!"
With Jianyuan around, what business does Xie Jinhui have?
I nudged Xie Jinhui with my elbow. "You've surpassed your teacher, haven't you?"
"Not necessarily." Xie Jinhui whispered in my ear, "If it were Yuanhe and my child, they would be far superior to their parents."
I know he's being stubborn, but we're practically gone, how could we possibly have a child?
"Xie Jinhui!" I grasped the hand at my waist, turned my head and said, "Jianyuan is our child, not just a son, but also a daughter!"
My words reminded Jianyuan, and he suddenly remembered and exclaimed, "That's right!"
And so, with just a blink of an eye, Jianyuan's imposing masculine form transformed into a graceful and ethereal young woman, untouched by worldly dust.
My goodness, I suddenly had another idea.
"With the Stream Abyss here, what am I, the Goddess Yuan'e, compared to it?"
Emperor Zangli could no longer bear it. He strode over, grabbed the girl by the collar of her fairy robe, and dragged her away from Jianyuan.
Jianyuan cried out in a sweet, phoenix-like voice, "Father, I need to check the cooking time for my parents."
Emperor Zangli slapped Jianyuan on the head, sending the slap back at him.
He sighed and said, "You'd better not look anymore and get the hell back to Hunyuan Cloud Valley."
"father……
mother……"
The cry of Jianyuan before he was sent away was like the flames behind me, high-pitched and chilling.
Besides sadness, the immortals are now filled with indescribable sorrow because of Jianyuan's growth, gender change, and subsequent gender change.
To be a man, Jianyuan is the dream of countless goddesses; to be a girl...
Just look at how many immortals, male and female, have been stirred by love, and the blush on their faces can no longer be hidden.
I gasped; the future of the immortal realm is truly uncertain.
Anyway, it's none of my business!
Upon reaching the edge of the barrier, whether it was right or wrong to show our faces was uncertain, as all the immortals rushed to say goodbye to us.
It's exhausting. I'd rather stay with my seven brothers, or spend my last moments alone with Xie Jinhui in the heart of the flames.
I looked around for a long time, but I couldn't see my master anywhere. Where did he go?
So sad you went to the river? How shameful.
Gazing into the distance, the figures standing there almost melt into the sky.
There was a deity who didn't want to say goodbye to me; his compass was spinning rapidly as he calculated my fate.
But I have no future, while he turned his head and smiled slightly, his lips forming the words: "Love is unattainable, and heartlessness is hard to escape."
Only by letting go of both affection and indifference can one truly see oneself.
I was overjoyed. A holy light that shone through all directions emanated from Qingting, signifying that he had attained enlightenment.
A crescent moon hangs cold and icy in the sky.
I heard a celestial being choking back tears.
"The boundless heavens have opened, the boundless heavens have opened."
The crescent moon cast a waterfall of glaciers, enveloping Qingting.
I glanced back at Xie Jinhui and teased, "Qingting has become the Emperor of the Boundless Heaven, and he has taken over Su Ling's home."
Xie Jinhui hugged me. "It's alright, I'll take you."
As the Boundless Heaven stirred, Moxu Chenyuan followed suit and began to shine.
That point beneath the clouds caught Xie Jinhui's attention, and I followed his gaze toward the distant location of the Ancestral Lord.
The sky itself was a vast expanse of silence, and the immortals below craned their necks in anticipation.
The glow of flames within the barrier obscured the white of the clouds. Rain would not fall in the celestial realm, but a farewell melody echoed from the Abyss of Moxu.
Zu Jun is playing a piece.
He remains invisible and intangible, hidden in the smallest of places.
However, he suddenly let out a long sigh.
“Su Mio…”
Xie Jinhui smiled slightly and did not respond.
After a long silence, Zu Jun spoke again.
He said, "Sumi, I regret it."
Xie Jinhui helped me take a step forward, and I placed my single hand against the wall.
At this moment, his expression was solemn, as if he had entered the source of time, his eyes filled with profound depth.
"Xiao, since that's the case, don't regret it from now on."
He paused, then advised with a sense of relief, "Xiao, come into the world."
The immortals held their breath, and Moxu Chenyuan also held his breath.
The cold, crescent moon beyond the boundless sky robbed the sun of its light; the moon's eyes, with their hazy, chilling piercing gaze, stared at the abyss of nothingness.
The flames burned onto the outer layers of my and Xie Jinhui's immortal robes, producing faint, dusty footsteps.
It's starting to turn to ashes; we can't wait much longer for silence.
Therefore, before awakening the immortals, the voice of the Ancestor first released Moxu Chenyuan.
His voice was soft, yet it shook the heavens.
“Okay!” he said.
The immortals knew what this meant, and Xie Jinhui and I stared at each other.
A voice rose in my mind: Everything is done.
The fall continues, but I am now a fluttering fire butterfly.
Xie Jinhui and I decided to join hands and head towards the core of the flames to bid farewell to the world outside the barrier.
To be honest, I feel not only at ease at this moment, but also a sense of exhilaration, like, "Great, I've finally succeeded."
That's so strange!
Before I could tell Xie Jinhui how I felt, I heard my master's hurried voice behind me.
"Yuan'e, wait a moment! Look who Master has brought back."
Before I could turn around, I heard it.
"Yuan He!"
"Senior sister!" I turned around quickly, kicking up a cloud of dust that made me cough twice.
But I moved nimbly, taking several steps at a time, and once again, like a tiny fish fry in a fish egg, I raised my eyes and hands to the barrier.
"Yuan'e, does it hurt?" Senior Sister had two strings of pearls hanging from the corners of her eyes.
Believe it or not, it's quite terrifying when seashells cry. Their tears don't fall one by one; instead, they gather into a string of equally sized beads on my senior's face, and then fall off all at once.
Don't assume that what falls into the water is a pearl. With my current level of cultivation, I could turn it into pearl powder, but it would dry very quickly.
I showed her my still fair skin and hands, and saw that she already had the mark of a goddess on her forehead. I was genuinely happy and smiled.
"Senior sister, I'm not in pain. Congratulations on your ascension to immortality!"
"Thanks to Yuan'e!" Senior Sister said, and was about to pat the barrier wall with her small hands.
This thing is not to be photographed; even the raging ravine keeps its distance from it.
If you pat it, the paws will be gone.
My heart skipped a beat, but I couldn't reach her.
At the critical moment, a pair of hands with distinct joints appeared, and a figure with an air of otherworldly grace suddenly descended.
"Belle, no!"
I stared wide-eyed and saw that my senior sister had been pulled into the arms of a deity whose name I knew but whom I had never met before.
Oh my, my passion for gossip doesn't need to be raging, it's fire itself.
I blinked and looked at that deity.
"Lord Sheng?" I asked.
He gestured to me in greeting.
I glanced playfully at my senior sister and pointed at Lord Sheng.
"My brother-in-law?"
Although the senior sister was shy and hesitant, she was reluctant to leave Sheng Shenjun's embrace.
Now I can rest assured, they've truly developed feelings for each other after going through so much together.
Sheng Shenjun bowed to Xie Jinhui and humbly thanked him.
"Thank you, Heavenly Emperor, for your guidance, which allowed Belle and me to return to the celestial ranks in time."
The old men in the Discipline Hall were exchanging winks and glances. When my gaze drifted over, they avoided it and immediately became serious.
This situation must mean that Xie Jinhui used some means, such as pulling strings, and managed to use his status to protect my senior sister and her husband.
Xie Jinhui made a gesture indicating "where" and said with a mix of teasing and righteous indignation.
“Yuan’e misses her senior sister.” He stared at Sheng Shenjun. “I want you to become a pillar of the immortal realm.”
That's all.
Upon hearing this, the couple outside immediately accepted the order and expressed their determination.
One is one-track mind, and from now on, that means being loyal and dedicated to one's duties.
The dust on my sleeve stained my hands black, so I wiped them under my nose to clean them.
I turned to Xie Jinhui and complained bitterly.
"What should I do? Xie Jinhui, I have regrets now. I don't even know how my senior sister and her husband got together."
I feel uneasy, I'm so sad!
Waaaaah!
Xie Jinhui waved the black ash that was flying everywhere and chuckled at me.
My senior sister is really fierce; she raised her little mirror magic weapon and was about to shine it onto the barrier.
“Yuanhe, Yuanhe, I’ll show you.”
Fortunately, her brother-in-law reacted quickly and caught both her and the mirror.
Senior sister, that little magic weapon can't withstand the pressure of the self-destructing furnace at all. If she opens the mirror, won't she turn into an exploding seashell?
Look, those immortals with weak immortal power are all gathered on the periphery, only able to stand on tiptoe and peer anxiously.
Even the stunningly beautiful True Beauty Fairy found it difficult to approach, and all knelt beside Fairy Yu Yan's large white kite.
Huh? Who is that person handing him a handkerchief next to Fairy Yuyan?
Is this her perfect match? I wish them happiness!
Jianyuan needed to be dragged away; my senior sister was carried away by Sheng Shenjun in a single, sweeping motion.
As soon as they left, my master came flying over eagerly, holding my Butterfly Dream Bell.
“Yuan’e, your teacher…”
He trembled for a moment, then forced an awkward smile and said, "Your teacher has nothing to say."
I nodded to my master, and also grinned at Mu Heng, the deity behind him who had his eyes bound with the Binding Immortal Cloud Lock, and the Marriage Immortal who wore a red thread as a mask.
Master must have had a reason for holding the Butterfly Dream Bell so high.
I saw it.
Eight eerie spider eyes peeked out from the hollowed-out gaps of the bell.
There was also a little ant that was about to be crushed to death by her.
I sighed.
Just to see me, Mu Zhu and Chen Yi willingly hid inside the Butterfly Dream Bell to endure the scorching heat of the barrier.
Their cultivation levels would be completely destroyed for just one glance.
Only then did my tears fall.
When my master saw me like this, he immediately hid to the side and started howling.
Ugh, I'm such a pretty, delicate tabby cat, and this smoke has made my voice hoarse. I've never cried so horribly before.
Xie Jinhui hurriedly came over to comfort me, wiping my face until it became increasingly dark.
He coughed, his face and clothes covered in graffiti, and said shamelessly, "Yuanhe, this doesn't sound bad, it doesn't sound as bad as when you called me that."
I angrily pointed at his nose and yelled, "What are you saying? When have I ever been rude?"
Xie Jinhui's immortal power supported a faint path of light, and he gently teased me in the ear.
"Next time, next time, I'll definitely make you—scream."
What are you thinking about at a time like this?
I looked at his tattered clothes, then at the other side of the barrier, at the avoidant glances of the immortals.
Got it, got it. I'm burning up so badly I'm practically naked now.
No wonder Xie Jinhui had such reasonable, lewd fantasies.
Without further ado, let's hurry to the heart of the fire and hide.
Flames suddenly rose in the silence.
However, unexpected guests suddenly appeared in the farewell party; they came rushing in from the distant mountains and clouds.
They were all blue, and you couldn't tell where their eyes were.
Suddenly, a cloud of dust flashed, and a legion of rocky, wielding peach-bell hairpins and swords surged out from the small green hills.
The bells rang out like thunder, their sounds like stones clattering together, chirping and crackling, clattering and banging...
I can understand what they are saying; I am their mother!
They shouted, "No one is allowed to bully the kite!"
Oh my god, my little hills are alive!
Good heavens, they look like they're going to shatter this barrier!
What to do, what to do! There are so many, I can't even count them all!
Oh dear!
The hill has come to life!
