Chapter 142 (Continued)
As the long night passed, people came out of their homes and heard the monks spreading good news.
The Cangxuan Realm has a new spiritual vein, which is even stronger and more abundant in spiritual energy than the previous one!
And all of this is thanks to Li Chang'an!
People who had just stepped out of their homes looked at each other, somewhat bewildered.
What exactly happened last night?
Soon, the answer to this question was found.
Various countries in the Cangxuan Realm vied to bestow various honors and rewards upon Li Chang'an, the sword spirit, the spirits of Xuanling Immortal Mountain, the Cultivation Alliance, and all cultivators.
Only then did people realize that on that night, the demonic beasts descended, and the nation, cultivators, and spirits joined forces to stop them. At the critical moment, the sword spirit of Xuanling Immortal Mountain intervened and slew all the demonic beasts, destroying the demon realm.
Finally, Li Chang'an merged Xuanling Immortal Mountain into Cangxuan Realm, using rune veins to guide the growth of new spiritual veins in Cangxuan Realm.
The detailed principles behind this are currently unknown to people, but they know that with the new spiritual veins, the Cangxuan Realm has hope!
People from all countries are celebrating, and the streets are getting more and more lively every day.
A week later, Tianquan, as the representative of the Cultivation Alliance, invited representatives from various countries to a conference and explained the arrangements for the Cangxuan Realm.
Below sat representatives from various countries and media outlets, and the aisles were also crowded with people carrying cameras.
Tianquan slowly said, "Now that the Cangxuan Realm has a new spiritual vein, a new cycle of reincarnation has begun, and the Cangxuan Cultivation Realm has reappeared."
"Over the next ten million years, the Cangxuan Realm will gradually evolve, and the Demon Realm and the God Realm will reappear."
"We cultivators will venture into the ever-evolving cultivation world to expand our territory, allowing the new cultivation world to flourish, and safeguarding the boundary between the demon realm, the cultivation world, and the mortal realm."
"We are all citizens of the Cangxuan Realm. I hope that in the future, we can work together, develop peacefully, and protect our common home."
The representatives from various countries were somewhat surprised.
Unexpectedly, the cultivators would leave the Cangxuan Realm, no, leave the Cangxuan Mortal Realm.
Over the years, we've grown accustomed to working with the Cultivation Alliance. Cultivators and mortals mingle online, and we can even help people resolve some issues...
Now, they are about to leave the Cangxuan Mortal Realm.
The representatives from various countries expressed some regret, but still said as Tianquan left:
"Wishing you all the best."
"all the best."

In Xiadu, Zhao Yuqing, a disciple of the Liantian Sect, was comforting her parents.
The holiday is over, and they must set off for the cultivation world.
The two elders wept uncontrollably. Zhao's mother kept telling her son to take good care of himself, be careful, and not to get involved in the battles between cultivators. Survival was the most important thing.
Zhao Yuqing was both amused and exasperated. She patted her mother's shoulder and said, "Mom, don't worry, the cultivation world isn't dangerous right now."
When He was born, everything was still in its infancy.
"Moreover, we still have Li Chang'an and the Cultivation Alliance. They recently caught and dealt with all the evil cultivators. If we go to the new cultivation world, not to mention the long term, we will be in a state of peaceful development for at least several hundred years."
He paused, thinking of the parting, and felt a little sad.
“If you really miss me, you can make a reservation at Li Chang’an’s Immortal Mountain Farm. Now, Xuanling Immortal Mountain is the dividing line between the cultivation world and the mortal world. You can go to Xuanling Immortal Mountain for tourism and visit me and the cultivation world while you’re there.”
"I will come back to visit you often, and I will bring you rare and wonderful things from the cultivation world."
After much persuasion, Zhao Yuqing's parents finally had to let go and send their son away as night fell.
Zhao Yuqing kept turning back to wave to her parents.
Although he was reluctant to leave, he had grown a lot after experiencing the night the monsters descended.
He didn't dare tell his parents that he had died that night, but had been brought back to life by the Fairy Xue Nishang.
His experience of death gave him a deeper understanding of the path of cultivation. Now that he has embarked on this path, he will strive to overcome whatever he encounters in the future.
The cultivators all gathered at Qingfeng Mountain.
The entrance to the new cultivation world has been temporarily opened on Qingfeng Mountain.
As you cross the barrier entrance, towering mountains and breathtaking scenery, like a fairyland, come into view.
This is the world of cultivation, brimming with countless opportunities.
The sadness of parting from loved ones was temporarily forgotten the moment the new world was seen.
Instead, there is boundless anticipation for the future.
"Hey! I think that mountain would be a good place for my Linglan Sect to temporarily take over!"
“Then my Lian Tian Sect will use this mountain.”
"Our Zixiao Sect has also set its sights on this mountain. How about we have a competition, and whoever wins gets to keep it?"
"Let's compete then. My disciples from the Heavenly Heaven Sect are not afraid of your Purple Cloud Sect."
"Hey, where's Master Xie? Where does Master Xie plan to settle the Qingfeng Sect?"
Everyone looked toward Xie Kuling.
Xie Kuling smiled gently, looking towards the four distant immortal mountains and snow mountain range, and said, "The Qingfeng Sect has settled down."
Everyone looked in that direction and saw the endless snow-capped mountain range standing guard on the horizon, which was the Xuanling Immortal Mountain, the dividing line between the cultivation world and the mortal world.
In front of Xuanling Immortal Mountain are the familiar Wolu Mountain, Jiarong Mountain, Qingyao Mountain, and Wuying Mountain.
Legend has it that the four immortal mountains actually originated in ancient times, and the mountain gods have all sacrificed themselves for the future of the Cangxuan Realm.
Beyond the four immortal mountains are five mountains identical to those of the Qingfeng Sect in the mortal realm.
Everyone immediately understood.
"I've heard that the Xie family's ancestor, the founder of the Qingfeng Sect, still exists, albeit only in the form of a spirit."
"This exact replica of the Qingfeng Sect must have been made with the help of that ancestor, right? To be able to replicate it so perfectly must have taken a lot of effort and cultivation."
"Haha, he trapped so many of his own descendants, so many mountain lords, in Qingfeng Mountain, never to leave for the rest of their lives. This is the kind of work he should do."
The monks chatted and laughed.
Xie Kuling clasped his hands in farewell to everyone and, together with the Qingfeng Sect elders and disciples, flew to the sect first.
Then, streaks of various shapes streaked across the sky, flying off in all directions of the new cultivation world to create a new future.
...
On Qingfeng Mountain in the Cangxuan Mortal Realm, seeing that all the cultivators had left, Li Chang'an closed the entrance that had been temporarily opened earlier.
At this moment, the Qingfeng Sect was plunged into darkness, and the surroundings were quiet.
But not far away in Ling'an City, fireworks were being set off continuously.
Multicolored light burst forth in the air, bringing colorful light to the dark mountains.
The fireworks were mortals bidding farewell to the cultivators.
Li Chang'an stood there for a while before turning around and returning to Xuanling Immortal Mountain.
The entrance to the Xuanling Immortal Mountain Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land is actually the true entrance to the new cultivation world.
That day, he used runes to expand the spiritual veins, guiding the divine power of the Boundless God and the four ancient mountain gods to flow into them. Afterwards, he merged the Xuanling Immortal Mountain, this blessed land, into the Cangxuan Realm.
Thus, the Cangxuan Realm gained a new spiritual vein. This new spiritual vein quickly nurtured and gave birth to a new cultivation world—growing continuously alongside the Xuanling Immortal Mountain.
Therefore, Xuanling Immortal Mountain became the dividing line between the cultivation world and the mortal world.
Li Chang'an returned to his home at the foot of Wolu Mountain, where all the members of the Immortal Mountain were waiting for him in the courtyard, except for Tianxuan.
With the emergence of the new cultivation world, there are many affairs to attend to, and the cultivation alliance will be busy for a long time. Tianxuan bids farewell to them temporarily and goes to help out.
I heard that they've been busy using spirit stones to set up a network connecting the cultivation world to the mortal world, so that cultivators can still access the mortal world's network.
"I'm back."
Cha Jing and the others greeted Li Chang'an.
Li Chang'an nodded.
The mandrill curled its tail, rubbed its hands together, and said with a grin, "Um, I've taken a fancy to a mountain. Now that you're a god, could you appoint me as the mountain god of that mountain?"
Becoming a proper mountain god is the dream of its mountain goblin clan.
Li Chang'an laughed and said, "Okay."
He looked at the other spirits and said, "If any of you have a mountain in mind, just tell me."
White fox spirit: "Great, great!"
Golden Beard: "Hahaha, I never thought I, Golden Beard, would one day become a mountain god."
Green and White Flower Spirit: "We have no intention of becoming mountain gods; we still want to grow flowers as before."
Little Ginseng: "Dad, I also have my eye on a mountain. The soil and water there are so good, but it's a bit far away. Can you help me move it here?"
The spirits kept talking, and Li Chang'an agreed to each and every one of them.
Finally, their voices subsided, and Jingjing asked in a deep voice, "God, what are your plans after that?"
Although Li Chang'an only inherited the position of the mountain god of Xuanling Immortal Mountain, his contribution of "drawing" the spiritual veins of Cangxuan Realm qualified him to become a god-venerable.
The new rules of heaven and earth allow it.
Upon hearing Jingjing's question, Li Chang'an replied without hesitation, "Of course, it's still farming and raising pigs."
Anyway... the land is just sitting idle, and the factory is still operating as usual, providing raw materials and the like.
Once he controlled the spiritual energy to grow those vegetables, he still sold them to the mortal realm.
Of course, monks can also buy them.
Upon hearing this, Jingjing smiled, and the other spirits echoed loudly, "Good!"
Their daily lives will not change much, and they can still be members of Xuanling Immortal Mountain and receive Li Chang'an's protection.
very nice.
After chatting for a while, the spirits all dispersed.
After Li Chang'an closed the courtyard gate, he caught a glimpse of Jian Ling standing on the balcony of his room, looking up at the moon.
*
On the day the demonic beasts descended and destroyed the demon realm, the sword spirit looked back and saw Li Chang'an drawing talismans to open up the spiritual veins, and then it understood everything.
He suddenly remembered that six thousand years ago, the Boundless God had not said that he needed to sacrifice himself; what he actually said was:
"There's one more thing I have to entrust to you that you hate. Only you can do it. Thank you for your hard work."
At that time, he naturally understood it as being a "nail" to fix the spiritual vein, because he didn't like "sacrifice," no matter whose sacrifice it was.
In reality, the thing he hated was the idea of destroying the corrupted demon realm.
The sword spirit had to admit that, as a sword that carried the power of evil and could destroy the world if it was not careful, "World Destruction" was indeed the ability he once hated the most.
Many people took advantage of his abilities, causing him to commit many unavoidable acts of "world destruction."
To be precise, both Ji Chang'an and Li Chang'an were using his ability.
But this time, he didn't feel disgusted.
Only by destroying the corrupted demon realm and dispelling the chaotic aura can a new demon realm, or even a new world, reappear.
No destruction, no construction.
He understood what that meant.
*
Li Chang'an withdrew his gaze, not disturbing the sword spirit.
He returned to his room, lay on the bed, and stroked Li Xiaoguai's smooth fur, suddenly feeling a little sleepy.
But clearly, God doesn't need to sleep.
Unable to resist the drowsiness, Li Chang'an closed his eyes, unaware that a golden light had flashed faintly between his brows.
He had a dream in which he returned to the divine realm of the Boundless God.
But this divine realm had already disappeared when Xuanling Immortal Mountain merged into Cangxuan Realm.
Li Chang'an walked forward with a puzzled look and came to the Pure Heaven Reflecting Water Lotus.
At first, he didn't know what the Pure Heaven Reflecting Water Lotus was for, until he unintentionally glimpsed many things related to this world when he guided the rebirth of the spiritual veins.
It turns out that the Pure Heaven Lotus reflecting the ultimate truth of heaven and earth is actually the embodiment of the next set of rules of heaven and earth.
When the spiritual veins of the Cangxuan Realm are completely depleted, the future cycle of the world will be inseparable from their reflection.
The Boundless God Venerable nurtured this cluster of lotus flowers in his divine realm, influencing them with his divine soul so that when they reflected the rules of heaven and earth, everything would develop in a positive direction.
With the disappearance of the divine realm and the realization that the old spiritual veins of the Cangxuan Realm had been completely depleted, the Pure Heaven Reflecting Water Lotus fulfilled its duty.
They also prompted the emergence of the new cultivation world.
At this moment, amidst this cluster of lotus flowers that reflect the ultimate truth of heaven and earth, a person sits cross-legged in meditation.
He slowly opened his eyes and looked at Li Chang'an.
"You've come," the man said with a smile.
Li Chang'an hummed in agreement.
"I think I don't need to introduce myself?" the man asked.
Li Chang'an touched the tip of his nose and nodded.
The person in front of him had the same face as him, and he had already seen him before, so introducing himself was completely unnecessary.
The person meditating was none other than the Boundless Divine Venerable.
“I left a divine power on Xuanling Immortal Mountain. When the disaster of the depleted spiritual veins is resolved, I will meet you in this way.”
Divine power?
Li Chang'an suddenly remembered the little golden bird that had entered his brow when he broke the seal of Xuanling Immortal Mountain.
It seems to be that one.
“I’m pleasantly surprised that you could think of using runes to guide new spiritual veins,” said the Boundless God. “Actually, I took a shortcut and only came up with the method. How to implement it is up to you.”
Li Chang'an was suspicious.
He didn't quite believe the truth of that statement.
His talent for drawing talismans is exceptional; it's hard to say whether it was the Boundless God who specially illuminated this wisp of his divine soul.
"I won't lie to you." As if seeing through his thoughts, the Boundless God Venerable chuckled softly, "Your talent for drawing talismans is something you gradually accumulated through countless reincarnations. Perhaps you sensed it from the beginning and understood that rune veins can serve as spiritual veins."
Li Chang'an was persuaded and nodded: "Okay."
He looked at the Boundless God and asked the question that had been bothering him for a long time: "If it's about saving the world, why did you only have me farm and raise pigs at the beginning?"
I thought it was to help him live out his retirement life, but I never expected to bury such a big one.
The Boundless God's smile remained unchanged: "The meaning of saving the world is too heavy. I left you with this mission in the hope that you can accept it easily. Farming and sericulture are ordinary things, but they are closely related to people and are the things that people value most for their survival."
“I know that you will bring about a change in people because of this, and that they will trust you so that when faced with catastrophe, the light in their hearts will not be extinguished and a glimmer of hope will always remain.”
Otherwise, the human world would descend into chaos as soon as the spiritual veins began to dry up.
Li Chang'an was filled with emotion.
"You can see details of the distant future. You are really amazing. No wonder you have become a source of faith for everyone."
The Boundless God smiled and shook his head: "The Boundless God has become a distant past; they now have a new faith."
"It's you."
Li Chang'an was slightly taken aback, and some indescribable emotions welled up in his heart.
He awkwardly touched his reddened ears and said, "Okay, okay."
The God of Boundless Space had a kind look in his eyes, as if he were looking at a junior he was proud of.
He slowly stood up and said, "I have nothing else to say. Go, a new world is unfolding."
Li Chang'an had no more doubts, nodded, and turned to walk towards the entrance of the Divine Realm.
Wuya God watched his retreating figure.
Under his special arrangement, this wisp of soul suffered hardships and trials in every reincarnation, including this one.
But Li Chang'an still retained the purest childlike heart.
Ji Chang'an's heart stirred slightly, and he couldn't help but shout:
"Li Chang'an, thank you, you did a great job!"
"Also, I'm sorry." I've placed such a heavy responsibility on your shoulders.
Li Chang'an paused, turned around and looked at him.
He suddenly laughed, somewhat helplessly: "I've never blamed you."
He paused, then his smile widened.
"Also, thank you for the compliment, you're not bad either!"
-----------------------
Author's Note: [Starry Eyes] This is the end. Everything should be explained now. [Hugs] Thank you all for your company along the way.
At the beginning of the year, I wrote the outline for this book. After a year, I've finally brought this story to a close.
Back in August, I had some health issues, and then my mental state affected me, so my update schedule became quite irregular and the number of updates was also relatively small. Several times I failed to meet the word count requirements for the rankings. I am truly sorry to the readers who are following my updates, for not providing you with a better experience of following the series.
This is the first time I've written such a long story. I've written everything I wanted to say, and for me, this journey is complete.
Thank you for your understanding. Now, Li Chang'an must say goodbye. I wish you all good health and all the best! [Go for it!]
