After returning to Kyoto, Chu Wanwan first went to the Zhenguo General's Mansion to retrieve the souls of General Chu and her great-grandfather from the Soul Nourishing Altar. Their souls had been nourished enough that they could come out at night without any problem!
The moment Old Madam Chu saw General Chu, her eyes reddened. Her hands trembled as she stroked the fading image of General Chu, tears welling in her eyes. "Old man, you've finally returned..."
General Chu was also deeply moved. He held Madam Chu's hand tightly. Although his hand could not provide any tangible touch, his affectionate gaze was enough to express his longing. "My old woman, you have worked so hard all these years."
Chu Wanwan stood to the side, watching this scene, her heart filled with emotion. She quietly slipped away, leaving the two elderly people some alone time. She knew that such moments were incredibly precious to them.
Stepping out of the room, Chu Wanwan took a deep breath of fresh air and looked up at the starry night sky. She felt an unprecedented sense of peace and contentment.
"Sigh! I wonder if your great-grandmother has been reincarnated. It's been such a long, long time since I've seen her!"
Great-grandfather sighed, and his illusory figure sat down next to Chu Wanwan.
"You are a human soul, so you can't go to the underworld. If your great-grandmother hasn't been reincarnated yet, then your earth soul is waiting by her side! If she has been reincarnated, then your fate in this life is completely severed! Your great-grandfather is waiting for you to be reincarnated and have a new fate and a new life!"
Seeing her great-grandfather's low spirits, Chu Wanwan offered words of comfort.
"Hmm! I know, it's too much to ask of Great-Grandpa!" Great-Grandpa laughed again after saying that, "So be it! A lifetime of love is a lifetime of love, it's not bad to start over in the next life! Wanwan! Great-Grandpa is going to take a stroll around the mansion, you can play by yourself!"
"Okay!" Chu Wanwan looked at her great-grandfather's back without saying anything. Human souls are the guardian souls of corpses and cannot enter the underworld. This is the rule, and she cannot break it casually.
Chu Wanwan rested at the Zhenguo General's Mansion for one night before returning to the mountain villa to find her mother.
Si Mingye also returned to the palace.
When Chu saw her daughter return, along with her eldest son and daughter-in-law, she was overjoyed. She personally cooked a large table of Chu Wanwan's favorite dishes.
Chu Wenjin and Si Rouxue opened their eyes as soon as they were released from the space.
"Wanwan, did you save us?" Chu Wenjin looked at Chu Wanwan, his eyes filled with gratitude.
“Yes, elder brother, it was I who brought you out of that Demon Lord’s clutches,” Chu Wanwan replied with a smile. “You are safe now, so don’t worry.”
"Wanwan, you saved your brother again. I don't know how to thank you enough!" Chu Wenjin looked at Chu Wanwan, his eyes shining with gratitude.
“Brother, we’re all family, it’s only right that we help each other, you don’t need to thank me.” Chu Wanwan smiled and shook her head, her eyes full of warmth and kindness.
"Everyone, please sit down! I have something important to tell you!" Chu Wanwan felt that she was very reluctant to part with her mother and brothers. If she could, she would like to help them become immortals.
"Little sister, what's going on? Why are you being so mysterious?" Chu Wenyu picked up a big chicken leg and handed it to Chu Wanwan. He couldn't help but feel fond of the little one's serious and adorable appearance.
Chu Wanwan took a bite of the large chicken leg before slowly saying, "In three years, I will be going to the Immortal Realm!"
"The Immortal Realm? Is my sister going to become an immortal?" Chu Wenze became excited when he heard about the Immortal Realm.
"Yes! Third Brother! Actually, I can already undergo the tribulation and become an immortal! But I can't bear to leave my mother and brothers, so I took the Hidden Spirit Pill. However, the effect of the Hidden Spirit Pill is only for three years. After three years, my cultivation will be unable to be suppressed, and I will directly summon the tribulation and become an immortal."
"Wanwan, after you attain immortality, will you still be able to come back to see us?" Madam Chu frowned slightly. Although it was a good thing that her child had become an immortal, she did not want to prevent her child from reaching a higher level in the name of love.
But deep down she still couldn't bear to part with it.
"Unless something unexpected happens, I most likely won't be able to come back. There's a strict boundary between the Immortal Realm and the Human Realm. Once I become an immortal, I must abide by the rules of the Immortal Realm and cannot return to the Human Realm at will," Chu Wanwan said truthfully. Although she also longed to be able to go home more often, she knew that was impossible.
Upon hearing this, Madam Chu and her three sons' expressions turned solemn. They all knew what this meant: once Chu Wanwan became an immortal, they might never see her again.
"So, Mother, eldest brother, second brother, and third brother, I would like to ask you all to cultivate immortality. I have six divine-grade Spirit Building Pills in my space. These pills were refined by ancient gods and can help mortals grow spiritual roots, thus granting them the qualifications to cultivate immortality."
My elder brother was a genius disciple of a cultivation sect in his previous life, so he must have had spiritual roots.
But Mother, Second Brother, Third Brother, I don't know if you have spiritual roots, so I want to take you to Penglai Immortal Mountain to test them. If you don't, you can also cultivate immortality by taking a Spirit Foundation Pill!
Chu Wanwan's words stunned Chu Shi and her three sons; they hadn't expected her to make such a suggestion.
"Wanwan, are you saying that we can also cultivate immortality?" Chu Wenyu was the first to react and asked excitedly.
“Yes, Second Brother. I hope our whole family can cultivate immortality so that we can reunite in the Immortal Realm.” Chu Wanwan nodded with a smile.
"But we've never cultivated before, will it work?" Chu asked with some worry.
“Mother, don’t worry. The Spirit Building Pill is an ancient deity’s creation. It can help you grow spiritual roots. As long as you are willing to cultivate diligently, you will definitely succeed,” Chu Wanwan explained patiently.
"But the Great Yan Kingdom is in dire need of rebuilding, and I promised the Emperor that I would become the commander of the Shadow Guard to help him consolidate the court and rebuild the Great Yan Kingdom..."
Although the Chu family wanted to cultivate immortality, they couldn't bear to leave behind the suffering people of the Great Yan Kingdom.
“Mother, cultivating immortality is not something that can be rushed. Even for ordinary people with heavenly spiritual roots, it can take hundreds of years to achieve enlightenment. Mother can do what she wants to do while cultivating immortality.”
Mother, I know that Wanwan has things she pursues, and Mother also has things she pursues.
Wanwan wouldn't be so selfish as to make her mother leave the person she loves for Wanwan's sake!
