cycle
It had taken He Loulan three hundred years just to collect the souls of the four of them. She flicked at the green light in the bottle.
"I will never take this kind of job again."
But——it’s still acceptable.
Three hundred years ago, the four of them acted recklessly and ascended to the fairyland from Sheshan, causing unrest in the fairyland. Hua Chonglou even forced the gods to take action and impose rules to kill them.
Thus, the secrets of the entire Immortal Realm were exposed to the six realms. A war started with the human realm joining forces with the demon and ghost realms to attack the Immortal Realm.
Thanks to the fight, most of the power in the fairy world was trapped, so they had no more hands to deal with her, a swaggering outsider.
Although she is good at fighting, her hands will get sore after cutting melons and vegetables for a long time.
Just one last bit. He Loulan put the bottle back in its place and called out to the sky, "Hey, someone, help me check on my Ah Bai."
Tiandao: ...
A water mirror appeared out of thin air. On Morning Star Mountain, Chunyu Bai was deducing a formation. He lowered his head, and only the bridge of his nose and chin could be seen through the scattered hair around his ears.
"Can he see me too?"
The next moment, the person in the mirror suddenly raised his head as if sensing something. The familiar, elegant features came into view, and a smile suddenly broke out on Chunyu Bai's face. "Loulan."
"Abai——"
Before he could say a word, the water mirror dissipated like mist, and the person he had been thinking about day and night disappeared in mid-air. He Loulan spun the sword in his hand and complained, "How stingy."
Tiandao: ...
The Heavenly Dao, which is considered stingy, turns a blind eye to the offenses of mortals.
A vague voice asked: "What are you going to do next?"
Only the last bit of soul fragments were needed to be gathered, and they were on their way. The three hundred year journey was about to end.
The six realms are in chaos now, and it seems that there are many things waiting for He Loulan to do, but when she thinks about it carefully, there is really nothing she can do.
The general trend cannot be changed by one person alone.
He Loulan asked back: "What are you going to do?"
Just watching His creations fight each other like this, even to the point of the entire universe being wiped out, is it okay for Him?
"Is this battle also your script?"
He Loulan, who had originally thought there would be no response, heard the voice say, "It used to be."
"What about now?" He Loulan pondered the words "was" and said jokingly, "You tell me all this, don't tell me that if I say 'it would be great if Cang Xuan could win', you will really let Cang Xuan win."
The ethereal voice was silent for a moment, and then said, "Why not?"
All living beings, in heaven and on earth, are within His thoughts.
He Loulan was stunned, and then suddenly laughed.
It turns out that "Heaven" can really favor a person to such an extent, answering all the questions and giving him whatever he wants.
What does the life of these mortals, who are busy and struggling, mean to the will of the heavens?
She narrowed her eyes and suddenly felt a little regretful.
I should have had a nice word with Abai just now.
——
"Xu Xike, become an immortal." Yixiang Jun sat in the long-lost hall, facing his long-lost friend Chao Shengjun. "These were the first words He Loulan said to me after I woke up."
It is also the only sentence.
Because the next moment she drew her sword directly towards that unreachable existence.
Xie Fengxue already knew the result of that battle. He Loulan died, but the most incomplete part of Wuque's Heavenly Dao was also cut off, and he was reincarnated as Zuo Qin.
"The power of rules." Xie Fengxue said.
He Loulan is indeed a rare sword genius in a thousand years, so much so that her sword can even cut through the illusory Shinto rules. This is why she attracted the attention of Tiandao in the Shinto secret place.
“But it’s not enough.”
Xie Fengxue made a "please" gesture to Xu Xike, indicating him to continue.
"There is also the power of human will." Xu Xike only found out about this later.
"Chun Yubai laid out a formation covering the entire Cangxuan, with all the willpower of humanity as its focus, converging on He Loulan's sword that cut through the sky."
As punishment for defying the laws of nature, humanity has been deprived of Heaven's favor for ten thousand years. Even now, there are only a few who have survived the Tribulation.
But not the last step.
What the Cang Xuan people wanted from the beginning to the end was to break the fate that was arbitrarily written by others.
From then on, Chunyu Baiku sat in the Cloud Pavilion and began to wait for his body to be reincarnated into the Cloud Pavilion.
Everyone knew that Chunyu Bai from Morning Star Mountain would only follow He Loulan from Hidden Peak Mountain, but not this time.
"It was from that time that you, Yunting, began to abandon your magic to benefit yourselves and enjoy the warmth of mortals. Chunyu Bai predicted that the turning point ten thousand years later would depend on 'humans'."
Use human will to dispel the indifference of nature.
Let the almighty will of heaven voluntarily indulge in this warmth and perish.
After all, only "Him" can kill "Him".
"As for me—"
He looked at the two extra souls running around in the Immortal Palace. Even though they had messed up his palace, Xu Xike couldn't get angry at all.
That was the old friend he had been waiting for for a long time.
"At that time, He Loulan didn't have time to send all four of us into reincarnation, so she chose to awaken the most powerful Chonglou first. However, when Chonglou learned of her plan, he said that this was not enough."
Hua Chonglou is the most special one among the four of them. He has no father, no mother, and no relatives. The only things he has are his few friends.
People who have no worries are always crazier than others.
At that time, he stared at the Six Paths of Reincarnation Monument and said, "This thing standing here is a hidden danger for Cang Xuan."
All mortals will eventually die and will enter the cycle of reincarnation after death. Now that the battle between immortals and mortals has begun, it will be a fight to the death. It is not a wise choice to hand over your handle to the enemy.
He said to He Loulan, "I'll go in and destroy most of its functions. Then I'll support its most basic reincarnation power, enough for the six realms of life to reincarnate."
He Loulan had no intention of objecting to such a crazy idea. She was concerned about another matter: "In this way, even if your soul is destroyed, you can only hold on for ten thousand years——"
Hua Chonglou just smiled and said, "If there is still no solution after ten thousand years, then I will blow it up, destroy the six paths, and drag everyone to death with me."
That's crazy.
but--
He Loulan squinted her eyes. The sunlight was so dazzling, but she could not feel any warmth.
Not bad at all.
Life is ten thousand years, and after ten thousand years, she doesn’t care about the flood.
The two of them decided Cang Xuan's future in a few words. Hua Chonglou remembered that he had three friends who had died for quite some time.
"I'll go in and seize the power of reincarnation, and I'll remove the three of them from the cycle. My creation technique is currently only enough to revive one person."
He hesitated for a moment.
"Let A-Lian live." He smiled and put his ring on the finger of the ignorant soul. "He is alone."
It would be too cruel if only one of the lovers could survive.
"So I was resurrected by Chonglou, and when I woke up, He Loulan made me an immortal."
The lifespan of a mortal is ten thousand years. Even if he is in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, he will not be able to see the end of this farce.
"Jiang Zhong and Ruoshui's souls were left in the six realms of reincarnation. Chonglou asked me to wait for our reunion. I thought they had already experienced reincarnation and been reborn as human beings."
But I didn't expect that they had been waiting there for me.
After finishing the story, Xu Xike held the teacup and faced Xie Fengxue, feeling anxious and depressed for the first time.
He has a soft spot.
But he had to sit down and have a good chat with Xie Fengxue. There were many things he wanted to know, such as how Xie Fengxue knew his past and how he knew the secret of the six reincarnations.
And - why was he still willing to sit here calmly and talk to himself.
"So, what price do you intend to take from me this time, Mr. Asao?"
Yixiangjun, or Xu Xike, rubbed his ring.
They met again as old friends, and he had already received his reward.
But nothing good comes for free. Perhaps he had been wrong all along. It wasn't Xie Fengxue who had entered his chessboard, but he himself who had actively walked into Xie Fengxue's calculations.
The person in front of him smiled as if he didn't care.
"What is your Majesty saying?"
Xu Xike: ...
Perhaps it was because he had seen someone from the past that his old temper came back. Xu Xike sneered, "How dare you act so pretentiously towards your junior sister?"
Xie Fengxue raised her eyebrows at him, and the meaning was very clear - you are not my junior sister.
Xu Xike: ...
Xie Fengxue suddenly laughed: "No price."
Xu Xike looked at him suspiciously, "This is not like you."
Xie Fengxue leaned back in his chair, his posture casual. "Just think of it as a good deed." He glanced at Xiao Shi behind Xu Xike and said, "His soul is with you. I can't heal it." Finally, he added, "From the looks of you, you can't heal it either."
He said there was nothing he could do, but he didn't look like that.
This expression clearly shows two words all over his body.
Beg me.
Feng Ruoshui, in a ghost state, sat on the beam, supporting his head with his hands, watching the fun without a care in the world.
"Alian, please beg someone, kneel down and beg"
Xu Xike waved his hand and said irritably, "Stop making trouble." At this time, Jiang Zhong rushed out from behind and made a face at him.
What kind of people are they?
Xu Xike bowed to him and said formally, "I would like to ask for your guidance, Mr. Chaosheng."
He was not good at using the Creation Technique. Even if he tried his best, he could only collect a few fragments of Hua Chonglou's soul that escaped after he entered the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
He put them into this shell called "Xiao Shi" and kept him, hoping that if that person came back one day, they would have a place to go.
He called himself Yixiang Jun simply because he didn't want the world to forget that person's name.
Xie Fengxue laughed again.
He stretched out his hand and waved, and Feng Ruoshui felt an irresistible gravity pulling her forcefully onto the table below. She raised her head in confusion and met the young immortal's dark, empty eyes.
Xie Fengxue took out a chess piece from somewhere and placed it in front of her.
"The art of creation, something from your Feng family." However, this is not the version that Feng Ruoshui had back then. This one has been improved by him and Feng Yibai for many generations.
He nodded towards Xiao Shi and said, "I don't have time to save him. You can do it yourself. This thing can also help you and your lover build a new body."
That's a really generous reward.
Xu Xike couldn't help but ask: "What is the price you want me to pay?"
Xie Fengxue said, "It doesn't matter anymore." He suddenly raised his head and laughed at himself, "You've actually already paid it. This life, it's considered the interest I pay you."
This life.
Xu Xike and Feng Ruoshui looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
Xie Fengxue waved his hand for the last time, and the furnishings of the hall changed in the blink of an eye. Xu Xike, Feng Ruoshui, Jiang Zhong and Xiao Shi were all gone. He sat alone on the stone steps outside the hall, holding up a water mirror.
Inside the mirror is his Yunting.
Lian Hua and Yan Qiongfang knelt facing each other on two cushions, with a glittering glass tree between them. They were silently waiting for the last taste, the so-called "immortal soul".
Xie Fengxue sighed imperceptibly, which was almost an admission of failure for such an arrogant and conceited person like him.
The shimmering light flowed in his eyes, and finally those shimmering colors were trapped in his left eye.
"You admit defeat," said Xie Fengxue.
"I should have admitted defeat long ago." Xie Fengxue replied.
It's so weird, and no one can appreciate it.
"It's really rare that someone can make the arrogant Xie Fengxue admit defeat."
"It's not hard to say, that person is Chang Xia."
He raised his right hand and drew the formation that he knew by heart but thought he would never be able to draw.
A few moments later, another "Xie Fengxue" sat beside him.
His eyes sparkled, and the radiant color seemed to be overflowing.
This was the backup plan he'd prepared for himself the moment he decided to embark on this path: a brand new "Xie Fengxue," one who hadn't yet experienced countless reincarnations. Like two distinct branches sprouting from the tree of fate, this "Xie Fengxue" hadn't chosen to consult the mysteries of time and space on that fateful night of decision, hadn't experienced thousands of reincarnations and tens of thousands of years, nor had his mind been dulled by the countless tragic deaths of those he loved.
He just took a long nap on Xiaoling Mountain.
That's all.
"Do you think Xia Xia has guessed my existence?" "Xin" Xie Fengxue asked.
"Old" Xie Fengxue said: "So what if she guessed it? You are me, and she can't kill me."
What he was sure of was never how well he hid, but that Chang Xia would never hurt him.
"She destroyed all your clones, so that you can no longer paint the past as you please."
This ability is so unfair. People always make countless mistakes in their lives and regret it, but Xie Fengxue doesn't do that.
Changxia knew that she could not compare with her senior brother in the art of Qimen, so she chose to use the simplest killing force.
One force can break all laws.
"Then she chose to die, forcing you to give up this life and go to the next reincarnation where she is—"
"This time, she chose the 10% you lived."
Xin Xie Fengxue's tone was exaggerated and weird.
He is still very young and there is still a lot of emotion in his eyes.
He spread his hands and said, "How can you still endure this old world without her?"
Xie Fengxue looked at Cang Xuan in the mirror with empty eyes.
"cannot."
He suddenly twitched the corners of his mouth, a smile that couldn't even be called a smile. Xie Fengxue stood up, took two steps back, and time and space shifted again, bringing him to the sacred tree that connected the Immortal Realm to Cang Xuan.
The ladder to heaven is broken, and there is only a dark abyss left here.
Xin Xie Fengxue asked: "Then do you want to follow her arrangements and go to the next life?"
"No." His dark and empty eyes looked at his other self. The next time would be the same ending.
"This repetitive fate is dull and boring."
He could no longer accept seeing Changxia die again. If that was the case, there was no need for him to run through this hopeless time.
In vain.
Xie Fengxue glanced at the high mountain surrounded by sword energy in Yunting.
There were only two of them on Cangfeng Mountain before, so from now on, life and death will naturally only be between the two of them.
Then he took a step back, turned around, and fell to Cang Xuan in a hugging gesture.
Shenxianpo literally means the souls of gods, immortals, and ghosts. Cang Xuan only has humans, demons, and monsters. Three of the six paths are missing, which cannot fill the void realm sacred tree.
Originally, as long as Xie Fengxue could finally inject the divine laws that he had imprisoned into Xu Xike's body, and then he, who had been an immortal and a ghost, would be enough to complete the remaining six paths.
It was easy, after all, he had done it many times before.
only--
Let's just leave it at that for this life. There's more than just Xu Xike among the immortal souls.
He fell into the silent night, and his consciousness began to dissipate and dissolve, dispersing into a dream from which he would never wake up.
So this is "death".
Were you also so peaceful back then?
Tens of thousands of years of time stopped at this moment. Xie Fengxue finally admitted that his junior sister had really left.
In Cang Xuan's quiet room, the precious light of the sacred tree suddenly brightened Lian Hua's eyes.
She knew that she had finally waited for that divine spirit.
There was only one Xie Fengxue left in the world.
He took two steps forward and picked up the last thing left to him by his "predecessor".
A pear blossom hairpin that has been carved for who knows how many years.
