After the founding ceremony concluded, everyone devoted themselves even more diligently to cultivation.
Everyone longed to contribute their share on the day the mysterious immortal descended, no matter how small that contribution might be.
The entire Lesser God Realm has begun a race against time for cultivation. Whether it's the sects on the front lines, the butchers in the marketplace, or even some thugs, everyone is frantically cultivating.
Night fell, the moon shone brightly, and Su Nian stood alone by the pond.
Several fish leaped and splashed on the water's surface, creating ripples.
The moonlight was reflected on the lake surface, distorted and deformed.
Su Nian looked up at the sky and could sense that countless people were cultivating and meditating, absorbing the immortal energy of this world.
Someone came up behind him.
Su Nian didn't turn around to look; he knew the person who came was Xu Xinrou.
"Are you thinking about the Ghost Immortal?" Xu Xinrou stopped beside him and asked softly.
Su Nian nodded slightly, "Although morale has improved, I still feel that the hope of victory is very slim."
Xu Xinrou smiled and said, "We've done our best, haven't we? Even if we fail, we won't have any regrets."
Su Nian smiled.
"Probably."
Suddenly, he noticed something was wrong.
He looked at Xu Xinrou in surprise and asked, "Senior Sister, you've broken through to the True Immortal Realm?"
Xu Xinrou nodded with a smile, a hint of pride in her voice, "How about it? Your senior sister's talent is quite impressive, isn't it?"
"This is more than just not low; it can be described as monstrous." Su Nian gave a thumbs up and exclaimed, "Ru Beiqiu took a Nine-Turn Golden Core Pill! There are only a handful of those in the whole world. His cultivation speed is already monstrous, but compared to Senior Sister, he's still a nobody."
Xu Xinrou chuckled, "Hehehe... Junior brother, if you can talk, then say more. Senior sister loves to hear it."
"Junior brother is just telling the truth, but if senior sister likes it, junior brother can add some praise and compliment senior sister properly!"
Xu Xinrou shook her head with a smile, "No need, Junior Brother, you're such an honest person. If you deliberately seek out praise, it won't be like you."
"Um..." Su Nian scratched her head sheepishly.
Am I honest?
Compared to Ye Hua, he does seem quite honest.
"After your special training, I see that Ye Yixuan is also showing signs of becoming a true immortal." Xu Xinrou sighed, "She truly deserves to be called another Ye Hua; her cultivation speed is really fast."
"No matter how fast I go, I can't be as fast as my senior sister."
"Alright, stop praising me. I'd like to ask you, what are your plans for dealing with Ye Yixuan?"
Su Nian thought for a moment and said, "We have now formed a contract, and her soul fire is still in my hands. Therefore, the only path she can take is to fight against Ye Hua with me."
"Is that so... Ye Yixuan is good at disguising herself, you should be careful."
Su Nian nodded, "Don't worry, senior sister. I'll be careful around her."
"Mmm." Xu Xinrou nodded.
Then came a long silence.
After a while, Xu Xinrou asked again.
"Speaking of which... Junior brother, you promised Qiu Shan a wedding... but it hasn't happened yet, has it?"
“This…” Su Nian was speechless.
So much had happened that he had almost forgotten about it.
"Now that Qiu Shan has gone to Immortal Mountain, it seems we can only wait until she returns to resolve this matter."
"Can't we wait until we defeat the Ghost Immortal before holding the event?" Xu Xinrou suddenly asked curiously.
Su Nian remained silent.
"As expected... in my junior brother's heart, we were still going to lose this battle, right?"
Su Nian closed her eyes and did not answer the question.
"Those lofty ambitions you displayed during the day were all an act, weren't they?"
Su Nian gave a bitter smile. "Since you know the truth, why say it out loud? Senior Sister... that's an enemy that even the immortals can't defeat. How can we possibly defeat him?"
As soon as Su Nian finished speaking, Xu Xinrou took the initiative to stand on tiptoe and kiss her.
Su Nian was taken aback.
He didn't expect Xu Xinrou to suddenly take the initiative to kiss him.
However, he also understood that his senior sister was just trying to put his mind at ease.
"It's alright, Junior Brother, we will defeat the Ghost Immortal." Xu Xinrou said with a smile, "We will welcome countless tomorrows, joyfully entering the bridal chamber at night, and we will hold hands to greet the rising sun."
Xu Xinrou held Su Nian in her arms, nestled in his embrace, and murmured softly.
"We've come this far together, through thick and thin, so how can we give up at this final moment? Believe in us, junior brother... we will definitely win!"
Su Nian remained silent.
He reached out and gently hugged Xu Xinrou.
"Yes, I believe it too."
As night deepened, Su Nian carried Xu Xinrou back to the bedroom.
Overwhelmed with emotion, they closed the door and spent the night together.
The following day, Su Nian decided to make a trip to Nantianmen.
Now he has both the Yama King's Token and the Human Emperor's Token. These two tokens, when put together, are the key to opening the Southern Heavenly Gate!
He gathered the elders of the Human Emperor's Palace together and told them about it.
“The Southern Heavenly Gate connects to the Immortal Realm, which is self-sealed. Perhaps they know something.” With a glance at the elders of the Human Emperor’s Hall, Su Nian said, “The Ancient Venerable is one of the divine generals of the Southern Heavenly Gate. Logically speaking, he shouldn’t have appeared in the mortal world, but he did. Perhaps the Southern Heavenly Gate has also encountered some changes. I plan to go and take a look.”
