Chapter 718: Ending: The Heart of the Universe
Amid the evil demon's angry roar, the new formation shone brightly. At the same time, the sky across the entire continent projected the scene of the top of Tianyu Peak!
In the Liang Kingdom Palace, Empress Xiao Yuejun suddenly opened the window, her eyes wide open.
In the bamboo forest of the academy, Xu Ci was looking up at the sky when the teacup in his hand fell to the ground with a "crack".
At the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's mansion, Ye Zhishen and the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's family all raised their heads;
At the Duke of Ming's mansion, the old Duke walked out of the room tremblingly with his cane;
Inside the Hanlin Academy, the brush in the hand of Grand Secretary Zhuang fell to the ground with a clatter.
In the Jing Kingdom Palace, the little princess Situ Qinglan covered her mouth;
At the Su family compound, Tongtong suddenly grabbed Su Anrong's hand and ran out the door, pointing to the sky and shouting, "Look, dear Liang, it's Father Xi~!"
The entire continent's sky turned into a mirror, clearly reflecting the scene at the top of Tianyu Mountain. Yun Qingqing's voice resounded throughout the heavens and earth:
"This demon is an evil creature from outside the realm. It seeks to devour the lives of our world for nourishment, and then wreak havoc on other worlds. Please pray sincerely—wherever your thoughts reach, you will find the power to slay the demon!"
"What!" The evil demon Fu Wei felt the sudden surge of pressure from Yun Qingqing, and his voice finally revealed a hint of panic.
"How could it be possible... You are just a cultivator from a small world. How could you possibly... calculate my origins..."
"You don't understand!"
Yun Qingqing stood in the air, her dress fluttering, the divine sword in her hand shone brightly, and her clear voice resounded throughout the heaven and earth.
"You're not just facing me, but the entire world!"
Countless pairs of eyes looked at the woman who was now standing at the top of the world.
She is the Master of the Tianming Pavilion, the Heavenly Phoenix of Liang State, the Chief Master of the thirty-six sects of Baiheling, the Grand Master of the Tianxuan Sect and the Medical Immortal Valley, the ruler of the eight directions of the underworld ghosts, and the common master of the Ji and Xuanyuan clans...
She was the savior from two thousand years ago, Lady of the West.
An endless stream of mental power surged in, and the complex formation of Tianyu Mountain emitted a dazzling golden light, completely submerging the blood cloud!
The evil demon struggled and wailed in the light, but the seven disciples all called out anxiously:
“Master!”
"Don't abandon us again!"
"Disciple swears to live and die with Master!"
The unrefined wish power was directly guided by Yun Qingqing's body and poured into the formation. Blood was flowing out of Yun Qingqing's mouth and her face turned pale.
She smiled calmly, and her cheerful voice reached every disciple's ears:
"Don't worry, I've been preparing for this for so long, but I don't intend to sacrifice my life for this thing."
"It's just a matter of starting over again. If I can do it the first time, I can do it again. Don't you believe in me as your master?"
The disciples felt relieved a little. Although they were still worried, they knew that this was the best outcome. They finally began to concentrate on activating the formation.
The roar of the evil demon became weaker and weaker, but Yun Qingqing knew that this thing must not leave any trace of life, otherwise it would come back again.
A constant flow of willpower washed over her body, her face grew paler, her ears and nose began to bleed, but her eyes never wavered.
Suddenly, a pair of arms embraced her from behind.
"What are you doing..." Yun Qingqing's breathing stopped.
She never expected that Xiao Changheng could pass through the entire formation silently and appear behind her.
But before she could finish her words, Xiao Changheng's palm had already pressed on her dantian, and the pure spiritual power flowed into her meridians without any hindrance, as if it were her own.
"You and I are husband and wife, and we must advance and retreat together." His deep voice sounded in my ears.
Yun Qingqing only felt that her meridians were being washed by the fresh spiritual energy, and her spirits were lifted.
The evil demon Fu Wei was still struggling in his last moments. She didn't have time to think about it and went all out—
The blood cloud finally dissipated completely, and a black mass fell from the sky.
Xiao Changheng finally stopped and chuckled:
"Win."
Yun Qingqing let out a long sigh and flew in front of the thing. The sword of dawn flashed, and this scourge was no longer in the world.
She finally smiled, turned around and flew towards Xiao Changheng, wanting to find out when exactly he...
The smile on Yun Qingqing's face suddenly froze. She rushed to him and tried to hug him, but passed straight through his body.
She turned around suddenly and looked at Xiao Changheng, whose body had become transparent, and she couldn't breathe.
"you……"
Countless questions and cries were stuck in her throat, and her moving lips only uttered a few broken words.
"Don't... don't leave me..."
Xiao Changheng raised his hand, which had turned transparent, and brushed it across her cheek like a gentle breeze. His deep black eyes flashed with thoughts that she could not understand:
"Sorry, Qingqing..."
"I……"
He didn't finish his words before his figure turned into countless fragments and dissipated before her eyes.
There was silence between heaven and earth.
The disciples were so shocked by this scene that they were speechless and stared blankly at the lonely figure on the top of the mountain.
Yun Qingqing stood there motionless, all expression on her face disappeared, only two lines of tears dripping endlessly.
Her eyes were dark, no longer reflecting any light.
“Master…”
Qi Mo's throat tightened and he wanted to go forward, but he didn't know how to comfort her.
"wrong……"
Si Ling looked into the void with his ethereal silver eyes and frowned in confusion.
Suddenly, golden light fell from the sky, shining directly on Yun Qingqing.
The seven disciples didn't even have time to react before they were forced dozens of feet away by the powerful pressure!
Changliu took a breath:
"This... isn't right! There wasn't even any thunder tribulation. Did Master... ascend to heaven?"
…
…
Countless memories surged through her mind, and when Yun Qingqing finally came to her senses, she found herself in a completely different world.
Underfoot, jade steps paved with flowing clouds stretched to the horizon. In the distance, towering immortal mountains shrouded in purple mists, and golden palaces and jade pavilions loomed in the sea of clouds. A spiritual spring descended from the sky, transforming into a seven-colored rainbow bridge.
The cranes cried clear songs and flew between the jade buildings, carrying Ganoderma lucidum in their beaks. The air was filled with the refreshing spirit of immortals, and every breath invigorated the meridians.
Every blade of grass and every tree here follows the laws of the universe, and even the tiniest specks of dust sparkle with star-like brilliance.
She remembered it all.
"Sister!" Bai Fengdu rushed towards her and threw himself into her arms, "You are finally back! I have been waiting for a long, long time... wuwuwu..."
"There are restrictions in the mortal world. In that accident two thousand years ago, my sister almost... A'du couldn't help at all. My sister suffered so much..."
"Adu..." Yun Qingqing subconsciously called out the familiar name, looking at the little black bird, her heart still a little dazed.
She is a natural goddess, the leader of the Phoenix clan, Bai Fengxun.
Bai Fengdu is the little black bird she picked up when she was a child and raised her like a younger sister.
Ten thousand years ago, he descended to the mortal world to save mankind, and at the same time, he also started the calamity of the true god.
Now I know that mortals need to improve their cultivation to overcome tribulation, but divine tribulation is different. What they need to complete is the seven sufferings of life.
All the things she had never experienced before, birth, old age, sickness and death, resentment and hatred, love and separation, and failure to obtain what she desired... had just been completed, and the divine calamity was accomplished.
And that person...
Yun Qingqing's breathing stagnated, and she immediately transformed into her true form of Bai Feng and flew in one direction.
"Hey sister, where are you going..."
The calling voice behind her gradually faded away, and in a moment she could see the cliff in the distance.
On the edge of the cliff, a tree as pure white as jade exudes the most refined and pure spiritual power, just as it did tens of millions of years ago.
Qiankun Tree, the source of the world's spiritual power.
The phoenix landed gracefully and transformed back into the form of a young girl. Yun Qingqing slowly stretched out her hand and gently touched the jade-like tree trunk.
The heart of heaven and earth.
I see.
Without her knowing, the Qiankun Tree had not only transformed, but also followed her to the mortal world. When her divine tribulation was about to fail, it saved her soul at the cost of itself.
Therefore, the Qiankun Tree withered, and as a result, the spiritual energy in the world gradually dried up.
When did it recover?
On the day his brother's soul passed away, the spiritual power of the world began to revive.
Can't get it.
I see.
A distant memory came roaring back, the countless days and nights when she had made this tree her home, chattering to herself—
"Hey, can you understand me?"
"Hey, it's blooming! This is your first time blooming! You must have understood, right?"
…
"I say, do you have a name?"
"Although Qiankun Tree is unique in the world, it's not a proper name."
"How about I give you a name..."
"Hmm... You've been here since the beginning of the world, and your lifespan is longer than mine... Beautiful jade is Heng... Why don't you just call yourself Chang Heng? How about it, do you like it?"
…
"You are so beautiful. If you were to transform into a human form one day, I wonder how beautiful you would be~"
"When can you transform... Oh, by the way, if you transform, will it be a man or a woman?"
…
"Changheng, I had a dream yesterday..."
"Okay, it's not a dream, it's a revelation."
"I'm going to be away for a while, wait for me to come back!"
…
…
"Chang Heng... you tricked me..."
As the Qiankun Tree, his spiritual energy began to revive, which meant that his memory was gradually awakening... He had clearly known everything for a long time.
Fortunately, he had no intention of abandoning her, but he once again sacrificed himself in order to complete her divine tribulation.
Yun Qingqing rested her forehead against the tree trunk, the corners of her lips slightly raised, but with a tear.
"How foolish..."
Fortunately.
He was transformed from the Qiankun Tree and is the source of the spiritual power of this world.
If not for this, when he followed her to the lower world and sacrificed his own existence in exchange for her immortality, he would have disappeared forever, and it would not have been just that part of his memory of existence was erased.
Qiankun is immortal, he will eventually return.
A ray of light flashed by, and the snow-white phoenix, transformed into its original form, soared into the sky and perched comfortably among the branches and leaves, just as it had done tens of millions of years ago.
"This time it's my turn... to wait for you to come back."
At the top of the divine realm, a gentle breeze carrying spiritual energy blew through the jade trees, and the crystal clear leaves made pleasant sounds.
A cold white flower slowly blooms in the sunshine.
