Chapter 484: Snow on the Mountain, Bright Candles in the South

"Oh no! The flood is coming!"

"There's a village over there!"

"Quick, get down!"

Before the sorrow of life and death had time to fill their hearts, everyone was thrown into a new round of battle.

This time, it is not a fight between man and dragon, but a fight between man and water.

The eyes of the Chengtian Sect leader were bloodshot, and his voice was terribly hoarse when he spoke.

The remaining elders were not in much better condition, standing behind him with sad and sorrowful expressions.

Yuan You and He Yunfei were surrounded by their fellow junior fellow students, with no expression on their faces.

The incident happened so suddenly that their emotions seemed to be drained away in an instant, and they felt unreal.

The people from other sects were more shocked than sad, and occasionally one or two sobs could be heard in the crowd.

Under the shroud of a cloud of sorrow, the leader of Chengtian Sect stood up again and said in a loud voice: "The catastrophe is not over yet, we can't let the dead die in vain. Now, all the leaders and elders follow me to set up a formation to divert water, and all disciples go to evacuate the people, one village at a time, and let them leave as soon as possible without staying!"

"yes!"

With the support of the backbone, everyone regained their spirits. The disciples walked with swords in hand, rushing into the small village like flying flowers. The sect leader and elders went against the water, built a wall with their bodies, used their spiritual power as a dam, and forced the water into a nearby river, and then blocked it off.

But the water had the power to swallow the sky, and it kept hitting their barriers. The huge waves it raised were hundreds of feet high, and heavy shadows fell overhead. In comparison, the few people seemed so insignificant!

"Can we really stop it?"

Some people question from the bottom of their hearts, not knowing whether they are asking others or themselves.

"We have to stop it even if we can't! When the lips and teeth are gone, can we escape the disaster?"

"Yeah, at worst I can trade my life for--"

Before he finished speaking, everyone fell silent.

The sect leader raised his eyes suddenly and saw that the hundred-foot-high waves were slowly receding, and the sky and earth became visibly clear.

Everyone was at a loss as to what to do with this sudden change, but they did not dare to relax and continued to transmit spiritual power to the barrier.

However, after a long time, there was no sign of the waves coming again. Instead, they continued to recede and the water level became lower and lower.

Everyone looked at each other in confusion, "What's going on?"

“Why did the water recede?”

"It's really retreating. No, it's actually being sucked in! The water is being sucked back in!"

"What?!"

After the water level receded to a safe range, everyone immediately removed the barriers and jumped to a high place to have a look.

"Did they send the dragon back into the eye of the formation?"

"That shouldn't be the case. The dragon has already self-destructed. Its spiritual power has dissipated. It's useless to send it back, unless——"

Thinking of a certain possibility, everyone's expression changed and they all looked at the leader of Chengtian Sect at the same time.

The leader slowly closed his eyes, with a line of tears falling from the corners of his eyes.

The only one who did not self-destruct at that time was Mingnan. She had the blood of Chongming and had the help of magic weapons. With her as the center of the formation, she could also play the role of a magic dragon.

It just can't last as long as the magic dragon, but it can still protect for a thousand years.

The water receded completely, as if the devastating disaster had never happened.

When the wind blew, the ground was in a mess and it was unbearable to look at.

The salty and humid smell of grass and trees goes straight into people's noses, making people feel a little sad for no reason.

However, in a flash, two crane cries suddenly sounded above the sky.

The clan leader raised his head suddenly, and saw the clouds disperse and the fog disappear. Strands of golden light pierced through the clouds, rendering a colorful glow. Two fairy cranes danced gracefully and sang loudly to the accompaniment of fairy music.

"This is——"

"Fairy cranes clear the way, celestial music celebrates, and rosy clouds welcome the gods... This is a sign of ascension!"

The clan leader was shocked, happy, and sad, with a mixture of emotions, which finally turned into a long sigh, "It's the time, it's the fate."

…

When the last drop of water was sucked into the array, the array flashed with light and closed completely.

The flood that was powerful enough to destroy all living things was completely sealed under the formation, and peace returned.

At this time, Mingnan was only left with one breath.

The Samsara Mirror was shaking constantly. Yan Shan wanted to get out of the mirror, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, a dazzling light fell from the sky and enveloped Ming Nan.

Her lifeless face suddenly came alive again.

The Samsara Mirror also gradually became popular.

Yan Shan was stunned for a moment, and then he felt waves of pure power continuously pouring into the mirror.

He lowered his head and looked at his hands which were gradually becoming the same as those of ordinary people. Suddenly he realized, "So that's how it is."

Although the Samsara Mirror can observe the cycle of life and death, there are exceptions.

If the person viewing the mirror was a mortal during his lifetime and became an immortal after his death, he would need to open the mirror again.

Otherwise, we can only see her ending as a mortal and not what happens next.

Obviously Mingnan is such an exception.

In addition, the Samsara Mirror had just been born at that time and had not yet recovered to its heyday, so he did not know that Mingnan would ascend in the end.

But no matter what, at least Mingnan won't die.

The huge rock that had been weighing on his heart suddenly turned into dust. He felt relieved and was sincerely happy for her.

A fairy crane dived into the water, picked up a stone from somewhere, and put it into the hole in Mingnan's heart.

Another fairy crane spit out fairy dew, which dripped onto the wound. New flesh and blood instantly grew on the horrifying wound, healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Mingnan's face turned red again.

205 was stunned.

Every time it thought that the matter was over, a new turn of events took place, leaving it completely confused.

[Wait——] It suddenly remembered the weak look of Mingnan’s soul when it first met her. It didn’t look like the soul of an ascended god at all!

[So you failed to ascend in the end? ]

Mingnan closed his eyes, quietly feeling the majestic power flowing through his limbs and bones, and said bluntly: [You want to ask how I died in the end, right? ]

205 smiled awkwardly, "Oh, don't be so blunt. 】

It paused, curious from the bottom of its heart, [So how did you die? ]

Mingnan: [……]

She took a deep breath, slowly opened her eyes, looked at the colorful auspicious clouds in the sky, and curled her lips.

【I did something that went against Tian Gang.】

205: [Ah?!]

…

Mingnan sacrificed herself to prevent the world from being destroyed and saved millions of people. The Heaven was grateful for her immeasurable merits and made an exception to allow her to ascend to heaven.

At the moment of ascension, her cultivation level increased steadily, directly breaking through the late stage of the Ascension Realm and entering the realm of True Immortality.

As a result, the Chongming bloodline was fully awakened and transformed into a Chongming bird, which lived in Mingnan's dantian.

Fairy cranes pointed the way, auspicious clouds served as steps, leading her all the way to the ninth heaven.

Halfway through the walk, Mingnan looked back and saw a group of people kneeling on the ground.

She saw Yuan You and He Yunfei at a glance.

The three of them stared at each other from a distance, their eyes blurred with tears.

A thousand words can be expressed in this one glance.

At this moment, Mingnan made the same choice as Yuan Ying.

She resolutely withdrew her gaze and continued to walk upwards.

205: [Host, don't you want to say goodbye to them? ]

[If I get too close, it will affect their karma. I am going down a path of no return. Being ruthless is the best way to protect them.]
