A thousand years after Ji Jingyao's reincarnation, Shi Miao cast an illusion on herself, transforming into a new appearance and entering the new world she had created. Perhaps due to her timing, her arrival coincided with a month after Ji Jingyao successfully survived the Mahayana stage tribulation. This was arguably the most sensational news in the world, and she heard Ji Jingyao's name everywhere she went.
"Luoshu Sect's Sect Master Ji Jingyao overcame the thunder tribulation and became a True Immortal! He became a True Immortal in just a thousand years. He is truly worthy of being Sect Master Ji!"
"Luoshu Sect even brought out the Time Fruit for this celebration. It's said that the Time Fruit takes three thousand years to grow, and eating it can extend one's lifespan by two thousand years, while also allowing one to experience the avenue of time contained within."
"I'm so envious! If I could have a bite, even a mortal would be able to ascend to heaven in one step. It's a pity that with our status, how can we eat spiritual fruits of this level?"
"Haha, even though we can't eat spiritual fruits, we can still afford spiritual tea. A cup of spiritual tea can extend our lifespan by a hundred years. I wonder what kind of person is worthy of someone like Sect Master Ji. I heard that Fairy Biyun has been in love with him for a long time, but it's a pity that Sect Master Ji is indifferent. He has a heart of stone. Fairy Biyun is so beautiful."
"If Sect Master Ji wasn't a person who kills indiscriminately, I would have thought he was practicing the Way of Mercy."
Shi Miao did not go to Luoshu Gate, but stayed on a nearby mountain, facing Luoshu Gate from afar.
She could sense the lively celebration at Luoshu Sect, and Ji Jingyao was being treated like a star. He was always the most popular person in the crowd.
She suddenly remembered something. If Ji Jingyao ate the time fruit, would he remember the past?
No, he wouldn't. He was the true spirit she had fished out from the river of time, a complete fresh start, so to speak.
Knowing that he lived a good life, she should let go of the reluctance and melancholy in her heart.
When she was about to leave, Ji Jingyao suddenly looked up in her direction.
The next moment, his figure appeared in front of her.
Shi Miao was stunned for a moment by his sudden appearance, then greeted him calmly, "Congratulations, Sect Master Ji."
Ji Jingyao just stared at her, as if he could only see her, "Have we met before?"
Shi Miao smiled and said, "As a True Immortal, Sect Master Ji shouldn't have such a messed up memory, right?"
She said softly, "We haven't met."
A rare nervousness appeared on Ji Jingyao's handsome face. "Well, now we've met. So, can I be friends with you?"
"I want to be your friend."
They were clearly trying to make friends, but he was so cautious as if he was confessing his love.
Shi Miao seemed to see Ji Jingyao in the past. Every time he met her, he would always fall in love with her at first sight and would always fall in love with her.
As long as she nodded in agreement, he would stay by her side without hesitation.
She doesn't need to feel lonely when watching the sunset, nor does she need to suddenly whisper his name in her dreams at midnight.
The emptiness in her heart will be filled from now on.
It's all him anyway, so what's the difference?
No, it's still different.
Shi Miao closed his eyes and opened them again.
Even though they were both Ji Jingyao, and even had the same true spirit, he was not the Ji Jingyao she wanted.
What she wanted all along was Ji Jingyao, the man who had created their own memories together. She had deceived him, used him, helped him, and loved him.
Yes, after seeing this Ji Jingyao, Shi Miao was finally able to admit it frankly.
She did fall in love with Ji Jingyao, ten thousand years after he left.
She smiled with relief, "I'm sorry, I can't be friends with you."
She would not look for his reincarnation as a replacement.
Ji Jingyao is Ji Jingyao, and he is irreplaceable.
She would not regret meeting him, nor would she regret the choices she had made along the way. It was the little things in the past that made up Shi Miao.
"So that's how it is." Ji Jingyao said.
The next second, Ji Jingyao's figure turned into fragments. No, not just him, the whole world collapsed in front of Shi Miao.
It turns out that all this is just an illusion.
…
Shi Miao opened his eyes and suddenly realized something.
She had thought she would become a true immortal after overcoming the nine heavenly tribulations. But it turned out that after the nine heavenly tribulations, there was another tribulation that quietly descended upon the human heart.
If she indulged in illusions, her soul would be trapped there forever. The most difficult thing was not the nine-fold heavenly tribulation, but the final tribulation of the human heart.
"Miaomiao!" Yun Huayin's anxious voice sounded in his ears.
Shi Miao couldn't help laughing. If Yun Huayin knew that she had never appeared in her human heart tribulation, she would definitely be so angry that she wouldn't be able to eat the spiritual fruit.
As she laughed, her eyelashes seemed to become a little wet.
The next second, Shi Miao's hand was held by a familiar hand, and the other party held it so tightly. She was also surrounded by his refreshing breath.
Shi Miao raised her head, and Ji Jingyao's handsome face came into view. He stared at her, and only saw her in his eyes.
"Ji Jingyao."
"I'm here." He seemed to be trying to ease his tension by shaking hands.
However, the most he dared to do was shake hands and give a hug at most.
That human heart tribulation made Shi Miao understand a truth - if you realize your feelings too late, it may cause regrets for both of you.
She likes Ji Jingyao, and Ji Jingyao also likes her.
Then there was no need for them to waste their time. They should cherish the time they had together. Shi Miao had guessed that the scene in the Heart Tribulation was probably a side story that would have occurred if she hadn't purified Ji Jingyao's heart back on Earth. Was it worthy of being called the Heart Tribulation? It was truly indistinguishable from the real thing.
Shi Miao's lips curled up gently, and the light in his eyes seemed like broken gold, "Ji Jingyao, I seem to have forgotten to give you a name."
Ji Jingyao's pupils widened slightly, and he almost thought that it was him who was undergoing the tribulation. If it wasn't a tribulation, why would he be hallucinating?
Shi Miao's soft voice rang in his ears, "So when are we going to hold the covenant ceremony?"
The next second, Shi Miao took the initiative to kiss him.
The surprise came too quickly.
After Ji Jingyao was stunned for a second, he took the initiative and deepened the kiss.
After the kiss, he said decisively: "Let's do it today!"
