Chapter 249 Ending
Meanwhile, at the Yu family compound, Yu Liang discovered that his sister was not in her room. He tried calling her, but she didn't answer. He tried contacting others as well, but couldn't reach anyone. He felt a growing sense of unease.
At this moment, he noticed the letters on his sister's desk. After thinking for a moment, he opened one and started reading. Halfway through, his expression changed drastically, and he shouted, "Dad, Mom, eldest brother, second brother, hurry, hurry, something's going to happen to Luo Luo!"
Everyone rushed over, read the letters, and their expressions changed drastically. "Quick, quick, go find Luo Luo!"

On the mountaintop.
After a while, another vast, cold, and extremely fierce pressure spread out as the cloud vortex spun, and another giant thunderbolt was brewing. This thunderbolt seemed to be even bigger than the last one, and it struck towards Yu Xiaoluo.
In an instant, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, the entire mountain shook, and a giant bolt of lightning struck Yu Xiaoluo, igniting her whole body into flames. She spat out another mouthful of blood, her body swayed, and she fell to the side, motionless.
Meanwhile, almost all the humans and demons in the surrounding halo coughed up blood, including those from Qingqiu.
Qiao Hongzhu was so anxious that she wanted to run over to check on Yu Xiaoluo, but Qiao Shouyi stopped her and shook his head at her.
After a while, Yu Xiaoluo sat up with difficulty again. At this moment, Yao Ziming, Qiao Shouyi, Shen Haoxuan, and Bao Shuoyu nodded, and the four of them also entered the blue light circle and found a place to sit down.
They simply wanted to use their meager strength to share some of the burden of Yu Xiaoluo's misfortune.
For those who are not spiritual practitioners, going there would be pointless except for sending them to their deaths; they could only watch helplessly.
The last bolt of lightning was the most powerful. Dark clouds rolled in the sky, and a nine-colored lightning bolt, in red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, black, and white, descended from the sky. Upon seeing this lightning, Qiao Hongzhu's expression changed drastically.
Good heavens! She had only heard her father talk about this nine-colored lightning, but had never seen it before. Yet today it was about to strike the museum owner, her father, and many of her friends.
She clenched her fists so tightly that her knuckles turned white and the veins on her forehead bulged. Without thinking, she rushed into the circle of light and sat down like the others.
Shen Haoyue and Zhuo Fan exclaimed in surprise, "Sister Hongzhu!"
Just then, the nine-colored lightning struck down, and Qingqiu suddenly rushed towards Yu Xiaoluo, hugged her, and shared the baptism of the nine-colored lightning tribulation with her.
Color vanished instantly, the mountains and fields trembled violently. Zhuo Fan, holding Shen Haoyue's hand, quickly dodged the devastating attack, while Shen Haoyue could no longer control her emotions, crying out, "Master, brother, Sister Hongzhu—"
At this moment, Yu Xiaoluo felt that her internal organs were shattered, and blood was flowing from every pore of her body. She was in so much pain that she couldn't breathe. When she fell down, she felt that she had fallen on someone. That person's breath was so familiar and so comfortable, making her feel particularly at ease.
Was she going to die in his arms? But then a question suddenly occurred to her: why was he lying down too? She was startled to realize something, but she couldn't open her eyes, and her consciousness began to blur.
Faintly, Yu Xiaoluo seemed to hear the cries of a man and a woman. The voices were familiar, "Master, Brother Qingqiu, Little Pearl, Little Toad, Uncle Qiao, Uncle Yao, Sister Hongzhu, wake up, wake up—"
why is that?
However, she was too exhausted to think about these questions. She felt her body and mind slowly dissipating. She smiled bitterly to herself, wondering if she had ultimately failed to overcome the tribulation.
Am I really going to leave this world?
At that moment, she seemed to hear the system's voice in her mind, "Master, Master, hold on a little longer, hold on a little longer, there might still be a glimmer of hope."
Was she hallucinating? She smiled bitterly to herself. Just as she was about to lose her last bit of consciousness, a very familiar spiritual energy came from beside her. Was that the spiritual power of Qingqiu?
Then, spiritual energy from all around her surged in, frantically pouring into every pore of her skin.
The spiritual energy gathered more and more, becoming increasingly intense, as if all the spiritual energy within a kilometer was being absorbed by her body. After a while, the gathered spiritual energy actually lifted her entire body up.
Everyone else had already fainted. Only Zhuo Fan and Shen Haoyue, who had run over crying, saw this scene and were stunned, forgetting even to cry.
"What's wrong with the curator?" they asked, puzzled.
The light emanating from Yu Xiaoluo grew brighter and brighter, and she floated in the air. Her body, which had been charred black by lightning, was being repaired at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Her body, which had been lying flat and hanging limply, was no longer so stiff during the restoration process.
Yu Xiaoluo's consciousness was slowly returning. She opened her eyes and saw only a bright light, but she couldn't see anything.
So she closed her eyes again. "Is this heaven or hell? There's nothing here. Have I come to a world where I have nothing? This is so unlucky."
Just then, the system's loud laughter echoed in his mind: "Hahaha, I've leveled up! I've leveled up! I've become a super system! I've become the big boss! I'm off!"
What? Upgrade successful? What's going on?
She instinctively called out to the system, her voice weak but still able to speak, "Hey, system, how did you level up? How did I die? Did you trick me?"
[No way! I'm a legitimate system, Master. You've successfully ascended to immortality! Alright, my mission is complete, I'm leaving now!]
Wait, I meant I successfully ascended?
【Yes. 】
【Or, I can go back to Qingqiu and continue working there. He's much stronger than me; I guarantee you'll get promoted again.】
The system suddenly transformed into a young woman in her early twenties, giggling, "I've already attained immortality, why bother with all that effort? Bye, Master."
After saying that, she vanished without a trace.
Yu Xiaoluo was helpless. At this moment, her body gently landed again, standing gracefully on the ground. The intense light on her body was gone, but she had an otherworldly and refined appearance, and was even more beautiful and otherworldly.
At this moment, the Yu family members who had just arrived saw this scene from afar and were so shocked that they were speechless.
Shen Haoyue and Zhuo Fan exclaimed excitedly, "Master, Master, you're still alive! You're still alive!"
"That's great, that's great, but—"
They looked around, and tears streamed down their faces again.
Yu Xiaoluo then noticed that Qingqiu was lying at her feet, and around her were her demon pets and several people from the Xuanxue Hall. Without exception, they were all charred black and lay there motionless, their fate unknown.
She suddenly understood why she had survived: it was because they had all helped her withstand this terrible calamity.
Yu Xiaoluo stretched out her fingers and sensed that they still had a trace of life left, not yet perished. She immediately sealed their fading breath and then poured the abundant spiritual energy within her body into them.
Even the scorched grass seemed to sense this vibrant life force, and then it grew back, sprouting green little tips. Its body was repairing itself at a visible speed, and its once weak chest began to rise and fall steadily.
"They, they seem to be recovering!" Zhuo Fan shouted happily.
Snowball woke up first, rubbing her eyes, "How did I fall asleep—"
At this time, the others also woke up one after another. Although they were still a little weak, they were able to stand up and gathered around.
Except for Qingqiu.
The last nine-colored lightning bolt was mostly absorbed by Qingqiu, which is why Yu Xiaoluo was able to survive.
Therefore, he was also the most seriously injured, and was still unconscious with a weak breath.
Yu Xiaoluo's tears streamed down her face. "Brother Qingqiu, why did you do this? It's so foolish—"
At that moment, an elderly man with a completely white beard suddenly floated down from the sky, looking at Yu Xiaoluo with a kind and benevolent expression. "Miss, we've finally waited for you to become an immortal—"
"You are—"
“Miss, I am your steward uncle from your first life. I did not die, but became an immortal and have been waiting for you ever since. Now I will escort you to the immortal realm.”
Yu Xiaoluo looked at Qingqiu, who was still unconscious, then looked around and bit her lip. "Here, there are the people I love, my family and friends. Can I—sever my worldly ties in this life before I go there?"
The old man chuckled, "You do indeed have unresolved karmic ties from the past. It's alright, I'll just put in a word with my superiors. As for this person, he did indeed save your life, Miss."
He sighed deeply, "In my previous life, Miss and I saved this boy's life. I never expected that in this life, he would repay the debt with his life. It seems our past lives are not yet over."
Yu Xiaoluo was taken aback, but there were too many things from her previous lives that she could no longer remember.
The old man didn't explain. He simply raised his finger, and a golden light flashed, shooting towards Qingqiu. Qingqiu's originally pale face became slightly rosy.
"He's fine now. You two should live your lives well. When this is the end, I'll take you up there."
Yu Xiaoluo was overjoyed and quickly bowed in gratitude, saying, "Thank you, Immortal Uncle."
Everyone bowed and smiled, and amidst the old man's soft chuckles, he drifted away.
The Yu family watched this scene unfold, but dared not disturb them. Yu Wenli said softly, "Alright, let's hurry down and pretend we don't know anything. Qingqiu is a reliable man. We can rest assured if we entrust Xiaoluo to him."
So they quickly made their escape.
After resting for a while, everyone on the mountain helped each other down the mountain. Qingqiu was helped down by Yu Xiaoluo and Zhuo Fan. Qingqiu woke up the next day.
From then on, Yu Xiaoluo and the Qingqiu couple led the Xuanxue Hall to fight demons and monsters, roaming the martial arts world. They later had a son and a daughter, and the two of them supported each other through thick and thin.
Sixty years later, the two of them went into seclusion in the mountains. Yu Xiaoluo was still young and beautiful, no different from eighteen years old. Qingqiu, because of the thousand-year-old humanoid snow fungus, had only aged slightly.
Over the years, they had been accumulating merit. This time, it was for Qingqiu. Qingqiu's merit had also been fully accumulated. After successfully passing the heavenly tribulation, they both went to the immortal realm.
