Chapter 186 Thunder Department - The Debate Among All Beings: You Win the First Debate.
Immortals live to a ripe old age, while mortals are born in the morning and die in the evening.
Bitao had only entered the illusion a few times when twelve years had already passed in the mortal realm.
Mingguang was still so thin, and his face bore the marks of years of war.
This is not the first time Bitao has watched Mingguang grow old.
Unlike the second competition, Mingguang was extremely concerned about the five signs of decay in the celestial beings. Even when shaping Bitao's soul, he insisted on wearing a mask to cover up the aging and changes that he could not accept.
After the great formation in the Immortal Realm was broken this time, Mingguang and the people around him all degenerated into mortals. However, Mingguang did not find it as difficult to accept as he had during the Five Signs of Decay of Heaven and Man.
He will no longer resist the sculpting of time on him, nor will he try to conceal the fine lines around his eyes and brows.
He walked calmly among the troops, directing them and fighting alongside them through ice and snow.
Bitao looked at him through the silvery net, captivated by his composed and elegant demeanor, yet also feeling a sense of regret at the passage of time and the loss of her beloved, who had been endowed with grace and maturity by the years.
Over the years, he led the Immortal Alliance in rebellion against the Divine Emperor of the fifteen states, starting in Chaosheng State, which was divided by water sources on all sides, and installed the talented man who had maintained peace in the region for many years as the King of Chaosheng.
He then led his troops to help him expand his territory step by step, seize the title of king, establish a new dynasty, and name the country Anping.
Mingguang is now the Grand General of Anping Kingdom, leading his troops in a tug-of-war with the army of Shenhong Kingdom, which once covered fifteen states but now only has nine, over the border.
After the great formation of the Immortal Realm was shattered, the immortals became mortals. Even the cultivators of the Immortal Alliance under Mingguang were later able to use the Immortal Pearl to activate magic artifacts and perform "immortal arts". However, as time went by, the Immortal Pearl, like the immortals who gradually became mortals, lost its spiritual energy.
At this point, the fifteen provinces of the human world were united into one country, which was simply impossible to suppress.
Hidden warlords across the land began to stir, and outlaws rose up in rebellion, plunging the states into a chaotic struggle for power.
The building was about to collapse, and even the bright light could not stop its decline. The fifteen states of the human world, with their vast territory and diverse landscapes, should never have been one country. After they regained their normal vitality, their division was inevitable.
Mingguang followed the trend, instigating war to support the enlightened ruler, with the aim of stopping war with war and killing with killing.
Mingguang did not hate any enemy who opposed him, nor did he use the "Immortal Lord" power he could still command to crush the mortal army.
Unlike Bitao, who skillfully used tactics when leading troops, Mingguang, especially when leading mortals against mortals, has always won most battles by taking advantage of favorable timing and terrain, and by changing tactics during battle.
He was doing his best to uphold the various rules that were agreed upon among mortals, and, to the best of his ability, to shorten the time of division and war between the states.
He is guiding and protecting ordinary people, letting them fight for their livelihoods, their families, and their future.
He did not kill prisoners of war, humiliate enemy generals, or massacre townspeople who fought to the death. Gradually, as soon as his title of Grand General of Anping Kingdom was proclaimed, the first reaction of any opponent who was no match for him was to surrender.
Because after surrendering, they are not treated like stray dogs who can be humiliated by everyone. The preferential treatment that Anping Kingdom gives to the new cities and towns is something that these people have never enjoyed since the time of great unification.
Therefore, in more remote towns and cities, far from the emperor's reach, local officials would often open the city gates to welcome the Anping Kingdom's army without a fight.
As long as local officials do not engage in heinous acts, Mingguang usually does not drastically replace them, but only sends more people to assist.
Of the fifteen states, at least three of the six states now occupied by Anping were won without a fight, thanks to the great general Mingguang's virtuous and cautious approach to punishment and the Anping ruler's reputation for benevolence, love for the people, and compassion for his subjects.
But there were also many more who stubbornly resisted, remaining loyal to the king of Shenhong Kingdom and their soldiers who refused to surrender even at the cost of their lives.
Just like tonight, on the brutal battlefield, the corpses of soldiers lay scattered on the ground, and Mingguang sat on his horse with a furrowed brow, his silver armor stained crimson with blood.
The enemy general, with only a remnant of his troops remaining, still refused to retreat.
The garrison commander, supporting his swaying body with his spear, roared at Mingguang, "The borders of Shenhong Kingdom cover the entire world! You treacherous villains who bring disaster to the country and its people, who have torn apart the crown and ruined the regalia, how dare you call yourselves an army that saves the people?!"
"It's a pity that Heaven is blind, allowing a traitor like you to be such a brilliant strategist..."
"Cough cough cough cough..." The garrison commander choked on a mouthful of blood and roared to the sky, "Heaven has no eyes!"
He choked on the blood, and his breathing gradually weakened, but he held on to his body, the spear tip piercing his bone, stubbornly supporting his dying body.
Mingguang's subordinates asked him whether to advance.
Thunder rumbled in the distance, a torrential downpour was imminent, and the enemy had only a few thousand remaining soldiers, their morale waning, like candles struggling to stay afloat in a raging storm.
The army's morale will collapse the moment their commander dies.
They only need to push forward a little further, and Anping Kingdom's border will be one step closer.
But Mingguang looked up at the dark and stormy sky and said to his men, "Withdraw the troops."
Who says Heaven is blind?
Even heaven and earth seemed to weep for the death of this general who, though he had wrongly chosen his lord, was loyal to the people.
Mingguang's left and right deputies, one of whom is Yun Chuan and the other is a mortal, have followed him for many years and have worked their way up to their current positions. They know that his orders are comparable to imperial edicts and there is absolutely no possibility of changing them.
Therefore, they sounded the retreat, allowing the general of Shenhong Kingdom to truly defend the city with his crippled body.
The rain was pouring down, but Mingguang and his men braved the downpour and rode back to camp to rest.
Following Mingguang's perspective, Bitao thought she was about to witness a handsome man bathing.
Then, a flash of lightning streaked across the sky, followed by a deafening clap of thunder—"BOOM!"
Bitao's consciousness was forcibly pulled back by the deafening thunder. She suddenly opened her eyes above the clouds and saw thunderclouds gathering above her head, with the might of heaven accompanying the thunder and lightning, cascading down like a waterfall across the entire heavens.
She heard a great deal of discussion on the Chongxiao Six Imperial Platforms below the clouds.
"King Jinghai has been a great god of the Mountain and Water Department for so many years, but I never imagined that he had been using his position to steal the life force of other star realms all along!"
"It's pitiful for those mortals whose lives were plundered by him. It is said that the Heavenly Dao of all realms traced back through the formations in his palace and found that thousands of star realms were affected!"
"This time, Celestial Immortal Zhan Kui has made a great contribution! It is said that when Celestial Immortal Bi Tao was trapped in the magical artifact of the Well Sea King, she had already discerned the evil of the Well Sea King and rushed to the Department of Mountains and Waters alone, just in time to stop the Well Sea King's subordinates from destroying the formation! She truly deserves to be the successor of the ancient Zhongshan God Zhu Jiuyin..."
"Zhan Kui is no longer a celestial being. Zhu Jiuyin is the mount of the six constellation gods of the Southern Dipper, so he can also be considered a constellation god and cannot be referred to as a celestial being."
"This is absolutely outrageous! What does a great deity of the Mountain and Water Department, who is also the successor of the Water God Gonggong, need so much spiritual energy for...?"
...
Bitao listened intently and quickly understood the current situation.
King Jinghai is not talented. Of the many divine powers of the water god Gonggong, he only inherited a head of red hair and a magic artifact called "Self-Generating Silkworm". The spiritual energy of several star realms is enough for him to enjoy. Could it be that his talent is poor, but he can be upgraded by being infused with life force?
impossible.
Just like a small water bottle, no matter how much water you fill it, it will never become a big water bottle.
So what does he need the life force of thousands of stars for?
Of course, she was pushed out as a scapegoat.
As for Zhan Kui's meritorious service... Bi Tao, judging from her personality, could easily guess that she didn't suddenly have foresight. Instead, she saw that Bi Tao was trapped in the Jing Hai Wang's magic artifact and her immortal energy was about to collapse. She couldn't directly attack the Jing Hai Wang during the debate, so she had to settle for second best and didn't hesitate to cross mountains and seas to smash the Jing Hai Wang's hometown.
However... now that Zhan Kui is blessed with good fortune once again, with the stars of the Southern Dipper supporting her alone, it becomes perfectly natural that she went to overturn the old home of the Well Sea King to vent her anger, but ended up making a great contribution.
Bitao smiled slightly; this was the Zhan Kui she knew. She was born to be blessed with good fortune.
Thunder rumbled above the clouds, for the Six Departments had produced such a celestial being who harmed all living beings. Once this was announced on the Milky Way, the five thunderbolts roared in fury.
The Heavenly Dao of Myriad Realms imprisoned all of the Jinghai King's subordinates involved in the incident, whom it had personally captured, in the Prison Palace before revealing itself in the clouds.
As soon as she appeared, the furious roar of the Five Thunderbolts, like a giant beast whose master had returned, slowly subsided.
As the thunder faded into the distance, the Heavenly Dao of Myriad Realms sat cross-legged atop the clouds, his brows and eyes stern as ice, exuding an imposing aura without anger.
She looked at Bitao and said, "King Jinghai, as a great god of the mountains and rivers, has subordinates all over the world and shoulders the mission of benefiting all living beings. However, he embezzled for his own selfish desires, which angered the consciousness of the Heavenly Dao, and the Five Thunders roared as a warning."
"Now, I, the Thunder Department, on behalf of Heaven, question you: If you were to be promoted to the position of Supreme Immortal in the future, and discover that the Heavenly Dao of all realms, which inherits the consciousness of Heaven, is abusing its position to deceive Heaven and steal the opportunities of the common people, how would you kill it to relieve the suffering of the people and appease the wrath of Thunder?"
As soon as the question of the Heavenly Dao of the Myriad Realms was raised, all the immortals below the clouds fell silent.
The immortals above the clouds were also taken aback.
Even the Azure Emperor, who had been sitting upright and never looked away, couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Kunyi.
Bitao's reaction was even more uncontrollable: "Huh?"
Kunyi was asking her... how she killed this Heavenly Dao of Myriad Realms?
How is this possible? Kunyi inherited the consciousness of the Heavenly Dao, tamed the Five Thunders, unified the Six Departments, and subjugated all realms and the world.
Even the True Lords of the Upper Clarity Realm can be summoned at will with a single word. Qingming could only endure being whipped by her. Her majesty in the Heavenly Realm is arguably even greater than that of the Qingming Immortal Emperor who sits in charge of the Star Dial.
If she wanted to be the Heavenly Emperor, she probably wouldn't even need to say a word; just one glance at Qingming and he would rise from his seat and relinquish the throne.
Do we still need to deceive the heavens and steal the life force of the common people?
She's already reached the pinnacle of her immortal status...
To put it bluntly—Why is Your Majesty rebelling?
Bitao was both amused and exasperated; this simply didn't make sense.
However, Kunyi clearly did not give her a chance to argue that this was illogical, and waved her hand to send her into the illusion.
But this illusion can perhaps not be called an illusion.
Because Bitao couldn't find anything unusual in this illusion, it seemed as if it were the reality that was about to happen.
Bitao attained the position of a Celestial Immortal, and Mingguang ascended to the Heavenly Realm with his Celestial status.
The person behind it all attempted to ascend to heaven, leading away the Heavenly Dao of all realms and the Azure Emperor... Everything was a "madness" designed to be shown to the Nine Heavens, based on the magic weapon that Bitao borrowed from the Sea King of the Well.
Within this illusion, Mingguang's reaction, Zhan Kui's reaction, and even the reactions of those spirit immortals whom Bitao was familiar with, were all so precise that Bitao could not find a single flaw.
She suddenly couldn't distinguish between reality and illusion.
The only difference is that after the chaos began, the nine celestial beings worked together to slaughter the Eastern Azure Emperor, only to find that he was nothing more than a puppet.
The real mastermind behind it all is the Heavenly Dao of Myriad Realms, Kunyi.
The celestial beings of the Nine Heavens have a level of faith in Kunyi that is comparable to their faith in the Heavenly Dao and in the Heaven and Earth that created the celestial positions.
How could the sky collapse for no reason?
In the illusion, Kunyi was as majestic yet gentle as ever, and she was the most respected and trusted "mother" in their memories.
When Kunyi activated the Silver Han Net and launched the Immortal Refining Array that spanned the nine heavens, the immortals still held a sliver of unrealistic hope for Kunyi's actions.
They refused to believe that they had all become Kunyi's snacks.
It wasn't until someone publicly transformed their immortal essence into spiritual mist, which was then absorbed by Kunyi, that the immortals truly realized their heaven had collapsed.
But they were no longer able to escape or resist.
The power and might of the Heavenly Dao of all realms are unmatched, let alone with the immortals already in the formation. They are like turtles and tortoises trapped in a jar.
Within the illusion, Bitao watched helplessly as she was dissolved by the Immortal Refining Array, finally managing to ask in astonishment, "Why is this happening?"
As Bitao was absorbed by Kunyi, she obtained the answer.
Why has Your Majesty rebelled?
Didn't the first competition provide the answer?
The celestial deities of the human realm offer sacrifices to all living beings in order to ascend to immortality and surpass all people in lifespan.
The Kunyi Immortal Rank is the highest, but above the Taiqing and Shangqing Realms, there is the Yuqing Realm.
The emperors of the Jade Purity Realm are not human; they are all things in heaven and earth, the sun and moon, the gentle breeze, rivers and cliffs—truly omnipresent and omnipotent. No matter how heaven and earth turn upside down, how the myriad realms change, or how time turns, even if stars are destroyed and immortals fall, they will never disappear from the world.
Kunyi melted together hundreds of thousands of immortals and eventually transformed into an emperor of the Jade Purity Realm, so that even the Five Thunders could no longer punish her.
Bitao was completely convinced of her defeat.
This is a debate topic that is impossible to win.
Who can kill Kunyi?
Who can kill their own "mother"?
But just as Bitao was preparing to accept the outcome of her failed debate, the illusion paused.
Bitao's consciousness was pulled back to the clouds.
Kunyi asked her again: "Now you know that above the Immortal Ranks, there is Heaven and Earth, and even Heaven's Way may harbor selfish desires that will forever exist within Heaven and Earth. If you were to discover in the future that Heaven's Way is biased, how would you kill it to relieve the suffering of the common people and appease the wrath of the thunder?"
Bitao: "..." She was still immersed in the distress of her failure.
As it turned out, Kunyi told her that her earlier failure was just her way of showing off how successful she was.
The debate is only just beginning.
It's like a thug telling you before he kills you that he'll take the weapon you're using to fight back, stab you in the chest from below, and kill you instantly with a single blow to your heart.
Then he said, "Now you can run."
For the first time in her life, Bitao felt that she probably couldn't be the ethereal being she was meant to be.
The immortals below the clouds also felt that Bitao was bound to lose.
Even in the illusionary demonstration shown by Kunyi, there were tens of thousands of immortal positions in the Nine Heavens, all of which were high-level immortal positions. After discovering that the array for fusing immortal positions had been activated, they were still absolute supporters of Kunyi.
They voluntarily sacrificed themselves to help Kunyi achieve the Jade Purity Realm Emperor position, and also helped Kunyi control the immortal positions that were trying to rebel within the Immortal Refining Array.
Even if Bitao is a great immortal... even if she can persuade and connect with some immortals, compared to Kunyi's vast number of followers, it's like throwing an egg against a rock.
Moreover, during Kunyi's demonstration in the illusion, the Heavenly Dao never abandoned her from beginning to end.
Because Kunyi desires to transform into the Emperor of the Jade Purity Realm, and also to exist for the sake of all living beings in the myriad realms, as long as her resolve remains unwavering, the Heavenly Dao consciousness will forever be the most tamed beast within her.
Kill Kunyi? That's simply impossible.
But Bitao didn't give up. She was by nature a stubborn mule that wouldn't move no matter how much you tried to lead it, and the more adversity she faced, the more it fueled her passion.
Compared to Kunyi's illusion mirror, all the previous arguments were just a joke.
She wants to truly slay the gods!
When she was sent back to the illusion, she carefully lay low, pretending to be completely unaware of Kunyi's plan, and slowly gathered evidence of Kunyi's intention to melt the immortals.
As a result... after spending a hundred years collecting a fragment of an ancient scroll on forging immortal positions, she was killed by Kunyi, who had discovered her secrets.
He was still executed fairly in front of all the immortals.
That tattered scroll became evidence of her harming Tongxian. Kunyi's framing was so meticulous and far-reaching that even Bitao almost thought that she had lost her mind and wanted to harm Tongxian.
Bitao was speechless and was struck by lightning as punishment, turning into charred remains.
Bitao died from the thunder whip held by Kunyi's own hand. The last thing she remembered was Kunyi's stern and imposing face, looking down on the world.
The immortals watching the illusion from below the clouds thought that Bitao had lost the debate and felt sorry for her.
However, there was no way to defeat Kunyi in this debate; even any immortal from the clouds would find it difficult to win.
Most of the immortals remained silent, fearing that Kunyi would really drag them into the mess.
It's not that Bitao lacks ability, but rather that the opponent is too powerful to be defeated.
But the news of Bitao's defeat in the debate never came. The illusion above the clouds also did not end.
Bitao did not die.
She has the compassion for all living beings.
Even if they were reduced to ashes by the lightning tribulation, it could not extinguish the hearts of all living beings.
Bitao's consciousness wandered the world and was eventually resurrected through a woman who died young.
She was also capable, rising step by step from an ordinary woman to the pinnacle of humanity, achieving ascension through merit in just a few decades.
After ascending to immortality, Bitao climbed step by step from the position of Supreme Immortal to the position of Grand Immortal.
Then he died once again when he was mobilizing immortal positions to oppose Kunyi, and was discovered by Kunyi.
And so Bitao died.
It was born again.
He ascended again.
He died again.
It was born again.
He ascended again.
More than 240 times.
When Bitao ascended to heaven and named herself, she followed the order in which she and Mingguang named their children.
This is probably karma...
People have become numb to Bitao's death.
During those two hundred or so intervals, because she was not "Little Peach Branch," Mingguang and she were mostly life-or-death rivals.
Bitao couldn't find any solace in him.
He reserved all his gentleness and concessions only for Xiaotaozhi.
Bitao has been reincarnated too many times in the illusion, losing relatives, friends, and lovers time and time again. Even Zhan Kui no longer recognizes her.
She dared not reveal at all that she was Bitao.
I tried twice, and both times I died horribly.
She felt as if she had been abandoned by the entire world, trapped in an endless cycle of reincarnation.
This is too ethereal... I'd rather not do it!
She wanted to bury her face in Mingguang's large breasts and cry, to tell him how his mother had bullied her!
By the time she reached her six hundredth reincarnation, Bitao had already given up. She no longer attempted to ascend to the celestial realm and spent most of her time as a mortal.
However, her consciousness is not extinguished, and the hearts of all living beings cannot be washed away by a bowl of Meng Po soup from the River of Oblivion.
Later, Bitao often thought with immense pain and sorrow, why wasn't she dead yet?
Several times she forgot who she was and what she was supposed to do. After regaining her senses, she even attempted suicide in the hope of ending the legal debate.
But she won't die.
As long as she can't help but feed the stray dogs on the roadside who are as thin as she is, as long as she can't stand by and watch the weak die, her compassion for all living beings will never die.
Later... I don't know how many years have passed, or how many cycles have occurred.
Bitao is a mortal, but countless celestial beings have ascended to heaven due to her influence.
Bitao's appearance was like a delicate flower, young and vibrant. But her heart was as old as a dry rock at the bottom of the sea, utterly unmoved.
Because of her excessive good deeds and accumulated merits in her previous life, and because she calculated that she was not yet able to ascend to immortality, she was reborn as a wealthy young lady.
They had no worries about food and clothing, and were loved by their father and mother.
This was everything Bitao had ever longed for, yet she was so young that she already wanted to die.
The peach tree leans against the small boat, surrounded by blooming lotus flowers, their fragrance carried on the gentle breeze.
She was drowsy when she saw a withered leaf containing a soaking wet ant, floating in the water.
Ants are so small and so far from the shore; a single shallow ripple is enough to tear apart a patch of withered yellow leaves.
Bitao told herself not to interfere.
Ignore it.
She told her servants to quickly row the boat and leave the place.
But as the boat moved and the waves pushed it over, the ant was about to sink to the bottom of the water along with the withered leaves.
Bitao finally couldn't resist and reached out to scoop up the withered leaf along with the ants.
In an instant, lightning illuminated the lotus pond, and water birds suddenly took flight, calling out and circling.
Bitao ascended to heaven in broad daylight.
At that long-awaited moment of soaring into the sky, Bitao was as if she were covered by a great bell, suddenly awakening that wisp of "divine" that had been "sleeping" for countless reincarnations and endless years.
She understood, across countless years, why the noble young master Yu Junlang, who rode a boat across the water, had ascended to heaven in broad daylight during the second competition in the mortal realm when she was Bitao.
Why then did he cling to this belief until death, refusing to abandon all sentient beings? Even in death, he died for the sake of all sentient beings.
Upon returning to the Heavenly Realm, Bitao ignored Kunyi's scheme to forge immortal positions.
She steadily pursued her immortal position, made friends, took the initiative to accept public office in all realms, and constantly descended to the mortal world to gain experience and advance her immortal rank.
She once again ascended to the position of the Supreme Immortal, and became friends with Zhan Kui, Ming Guang, Zhu Ming, and others again.
Those immortals influenced by her naturally became her most loyal servants and believers.
Another hundred years passed in the Heavenly Realm. Bitao took over as the Commander of the Ministry of War and personally selected a Thunder Spirit Body in the Lower Realm who could inherit the will of all living beings.
She naturally sent him to the Thunder Department and carefully trained him.
Several hundred years later, her attendants were spread throughout the Nine Heavens, and the Thunder Spirit Immortal who could bear the will of all living beings also ascended to the position of Thunder Emperor.
She began to gradually split and disintegrate the followers of the Heavenly Dao of the Myriad Realms, silently pruning the strong roots of the Heavenly Dao of the Myriad Realms.
However, on the surface, she still treated Kunyi with utmost respect.
Centuries later, just as Kunyi was about to refine the immortals, Bitao finally launched an attack, uniting the Nine Heavens Immortal Positions, which had been stacked countless times in her hands, and the Star Gods, who could rival Yinhan Gu, to expose Kunyi's shocking conspiracy.
Kunyi discovered that her power had waned and her followers were few. She also realized that Wu Lei had recognized another master. She still wanted to resist, but her immortal power had regressed to the point that she could not even defeat Bitao's attendant.
Above the clouds, Kunyi asked Bitao, "Why is that?"
Bitao suddenly remembered that these were the questions Kunyi had asked her when she died at Kunyi's hands.
Bitao walked up to Kunyi, who was being controlled, and looked down at her with pity: "It is said that gods can only communicate with heaven and earth and live forever by receiving offerings from the people. You have long been disrespectful to the common people because of your selfish desires. Now your believers have abandoned you as if you were forgotten. Heaven has decreed your demise, and you will surely die."
The illusion finally shattered.
Bitao's consciousness returned to her original body. She sat on the clouds, frowning as she looked at the "unfamiliar" immortal positions around her. Her first reaction was that Kunyi was using evil means to put up a stubborn resistance.
Bitao sat upright, forming the Tai Chi seal, and mobilized her spiritual energy to prepare for a direct confrontation with Kunyi.
However, he discovered that his immortal power had been inexplicably reduced by more than half.
Having experienced countless life-and-death situations, Bitao had long since become unfazed by any circumstance.
Bitao's hand seals rapidly transformed into the Demon-Subduing Seal, her face dignified yet revealing no trace of ferocity.
His voice was as solemn as autumn frost, yet gentle as a spring breeze: "Kunyi, your followers have all betrayed you, and Heaven has already exposed your treachery. Even if you resort to demonic tricks, you shall now be executed before the common people."
Bitao rose from the clouds, intending to attack Kunyi, whom she believed had "lost her followers and power."
But as soon as he stood up, Kunyi pressed him back down with a palm strike from a distance.
Then Kunyi flicked her fingers to form the Awakening and Cleansing Soul Array, which enveloped Bitao and restored her confused memories.
All the pain and struggle she experienced in the illusion were covered by the Raven Curse.
Bitao shuddered, and when she opened her eyes again, she was like a drowning person suddenly surfacing, breathing rapidly.
She choked on her own breath: "Cough cough cough cough..."
Bitao still remembers everything. She remembers the endless cycles of reincarnation and loss within the illusionary mirror. She also remembers finally reaching the peak and leading her followers to slay the gods.
However, those memories are separated by a layer of lightning rune seal, and at this moment they are like looking at flowers through a fog, becoming unreal because of the obstruction of the lightning rune seal.
The peach blossoms have turned back into real peach blossoms.
Her eyes held a mixture of overwhelming excitement at regaining everything she had lost, and a profound realization of surviving a catastrophe.
She looked at Kunyi, her lips trembling as she clenched her teeth.
Kunyi gave her a generous smile and said, "Remaining pure and untainted, upholding truth and embracing oneness, you should be a model for all immortals. You have won this debate."
