Tianming looked at the Empress with unfamiliarity in his eyes, and then turned into a bloody light and returned to Penglai Island.
Ke'er murmured, "No, no, Liang, you'll definitely come back. You said you'd never leave me..."
Kong Xuan helped Ke'er up and said softly, "Master's wife, Master will come back. Let's go home."
When the group returned to the vast East Sea, what kind of scene did they see hundreds of thousands of miles away? It's something they'll probably never forget.
Two enormous palaces floated above Penglai Island, spanning millions of miles. One was surrounded by twinkling stars and shrouded in purple mist, while the other shimmered with ten-colored divine light, emanating a dense aura of chaos. One bore the three large purple-gold characters "Palace of Heaven and Earth," while the other was inscribed with the three gilded characters "Hall of Divine Punishment," each character profound and mysterious. Suddenly, the two palaces transformed into two streams of light, one purple, the other ten-colored; one shot towards the distant horizon, the other towards the primordial chaos beyond, vanishing without a trace in the blink of an eye.
After the "Heaven and Earth" and "Divine Punishment" palaces vanished, six palaces appeared out of thin air: one shone with five-colored light, one was surrounded by blue and yellow light, one was entirely gray and dark, one had golden bricks and jade tiles with red clouds floating around it, one had a blood-red light soaring into the sky, and one was surrounded by an obscure and incomprehensible aura. The six palaces occupied the six directions of heaven and earth. Zhenyuan Heavenly Palace was in the east, Zhenyi Heavenly Palace was in the west, Zhenyun Heavenly Palace was in the south, and Tianming Palace was in the north. Above the four palaces, Kongxuan Heavenly Palace stood tall, and below the four palaces, Tianhou Palace sank into the earth. The six palaces formed a "rhombus shape", each rotating and emitting brilliant divine light. Suddenly, five of the palaces shrank and flew, turning into palm-sized figures next to Kongxuan, Zhenyuan, Zhenyi, Zhenyun, and Tianming, and merging into their bodies. In the blink of an eye, only the lonely Empress's Palace remained hovering and soaring above Penglai Island, its body dim and without light. Suddenly, a giant axe appeared in the sky. With a shake of the axe, an axe shadow exuding a chaotic aura cleaved down and shattered the Empress's Palace into countless fragments. The shattered fragments of the Empress's Palace wriggled and formed a line of words: "Our master-disciple relationship ends here." A gentle breeze swept by, and the fragments of the Empress's Palace instantly turned into dust and disappeared into the faint breeze.
Millions of miles away, no one saw the girl with tears streaming down her face.
The Heavenly Dao Saint transmitted his voice to Kong Xuan: "Xuan'er, you can wait for your virtuous brother to subdue Tianming within your gates. In addition, I will grant you the opportunity to become a saint - the Primordial Purple Qi, as well as the Ganqi Axe and the Xingtian Shield. These will be left for those who are destined to receive them. From this day forward, I too will become the Heavenly Dao, and I will not emerge except in the immeasurable eons."
Kong Xuan bowed three times to the heavens and proclaimed loudly, "I was originally a minor demon born after the creation of the world, in a chaotic and blood-soaked primordial land. I was fortunate enough to be favored by my master, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, who bestowed upon me magical techniques and taught me supernatural powers, making me his disciple. After cultivating for ten thousand years, I became a quasi-sage. I feel deeply ashamed and remorseful for not being able to help my master in his many times of danger. Ten thousand years later, I have attained the supreme primordial sage path, and my master bestowed upon me a supreme treasure. Yet, this unworthy disciple is helpless to see my master perish. Heaven, how unjust you are! The vast Penglai Island has been shattered and disintegrated due to my master's departure. Why is this?"
As the chief disciple of Heavenly Mandate, I have established a sect called "Heavenly Mandate." There is no other purpose than to seek justice for the cause and effect of Heaven and Earth and for all living beings. My master, Heavenly Mandate, is the leader of the Heavenly Mandate sect, and I am the deputy leader. The Great Dao is above, please have mercy on my Heavenly Mandate.
"The Great Dao is above; I, on behalf of my master and the first disciple appointed by Heaven, hereby place Tianming within the gates, hoping the Great Dao will approve."
Following the Six Palaces, all the immortals and spirit beasts on Penglai Island transformed into shooting stars and were transferred to a distance of tens of thousands of feet from the Six Sages. Seeing their master filled with sorrow, the disciples asked in bewilderment, "Why?"
The saints remained silent, still gazing at Penglai Island, hundreds of thousands of miles away.
Suddenly, Penglai Island emitted a dazzling golden light, illuminating the entire world. After the light faded, the former Penglai Island vanished, replaced by three immortal islands floating in the East Sea: Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou. All the sages marveled, realizing that these three otherworldly islands, formed from fragments of chaos after the shattering of chaos, had been forcibly merged into one. Truly, their supernatural powers were immense and their magic boundless! However, Yingzhou shrank as it flew, reaching the size of a palm when it reached Ke'er, landing in her delicate hand. Fangzhang flew towards Kong Xuan. Above Penglai Island, a vast expanse of white snow began to fall, swirling with wisps of white mist. Within a hundred miles around, a light drizzle fell from the void, creating a beautiful scene. At the summit of Penglai Island, a stone tablet descended from the sky, inscribed with the three large characters "Tianming Island" formed from chaotic spiritual energy. Suddenly, the stone tablet emitted ten thousand golden rays that instantly enveloped the entire Destiny Island, slowly fading until it disappeared into the world.
Ke'er gently stroked the Yingzhou Immortal Island in her hand and murmured, "Since Penglai is no more, then you must be Siming," before disappearing.
Kong Xuan held the Abbot's Immortal Island in his hands and whispered, "Master, Xuan'er will avenge you." Five-colored light flashed, and Kong Xuan disappeared without a trace.
Zhen Yuan and Zhen Yi exchanged a glance, and the two said, "Heaven gave us life; our Master nurtured us. Without our Master, we would not be where we are today. Perhaps we would have long since turned into dust and disappeared into the world, dancing with the earth. The Ling Sect exists because of our Master. Now that our Master is gone, we two brothers swear: 'As long as our Master is here, the Ling Sect will exist; when our Master is gone, the Ling Sect will go.'"
Of the great sects of the primordial era, the Spirit Sect has become a thing of the past, a distant past.
