Chapter 134 The Grand Finale
"boom!"
The sky above Wendao Sect changed color, with dark clouds piling up and countless purple lightning snakes darting through them.
Accompanied by lightning and thunder, spiritual energy from a radius of a thousand miles was drawn in, shimmering with multicolored spiritual light.
Such a huge commotion was caused by the Purple Cloud Immortal Venerable beginning his breakthrough to a higher realm.
Sect Leader Qingxu and the others dared not linger in the air and flew down to the ground, looking at Cangtian Peak with nervous expressions and expectant eyes.
Upon hearing the noise, the disciples who remained at the sect left their caves and looked up at the sky in shock. Could it be that someone had broken through to a higher level?
Suddenly, a pillar of light rose from Hidden Heaven Peak, reaching the sky and connecting with the earth. A powerful spiritual pressure spread out, and all cultivators below the Golden Core stage collapsed to the ground in a sorry state, unable to get up.
In a secluded spot, Lou Yuqing strolled leisurely to the vicinity of Cangtian Peak and stood quietly behind Sect Leader Qingxuzi and the others.
Unknown runes appeared in her eyes. She looked around but didn't see her target. Her eyes then returned to their normal color.
Lou Yuqing thought to herself, "I'll have to wait a bit longer."
"Yuqing, you've arrived." Sect Leader Qingxuzi, not seeing Ling Yunxiao, casually asked, "Yunxiao didn't come?"
Lou Yuqing remained calm and said, "He said he had something to do."
Qingxuzi nodded and looked back at Cangtian Peak.
At this moment, the pillar of light piercing through heaven and earth became increasingly dazzling, gradually changing from pure white to dark purple. A figure flew out from the mountain peak and drifted into the sky.
Immortal Venerable Zixiao was bathed in lightning and fearlessly faced the tribulation lightning that was brewing in the clouds.
The void rippled, and a middle-aged man in a dark blue robe, hidden nearby, couldn't hide his excitement: "I've searched high and low without finding it, and now it's right here without any effort."
He had always wanted to eliminate the Wendao Sect and open the passage to the Demon Realm, but unfortunately, the Wendao Sect was too powerful for him to contend with on his own, so he could only proceed slowly.
He used the power of heavenly secrets to steal fortune and slowly undermine the foundation of the Wendao Sect.
The optimal time to act, according to the plan, is three years from now, when the Wendao Sect will be in an unprecedented state of weakness.
However, plans can't be changed. The Wendao Sect actually possessed the power of laws, which blocked his power of heavenly secrets, causing his fortune to rise again.
If he hadn't used bad luck to shield the other party, they probably would have ruined his plans.
Years ago, he made arrangements for the Black Barbarian Domain and gained control of the five major demonic sects.
He ordered the demonic sect to launch an attack on the righteous sect's territory, thus diverting the righteous forces' attention to the front lines, while secretly keeping an eye on the Wendao Sect, waiting for Zixiao to leave before making his move.
But he didn't expect that Zixiao was undergoing the tribulation of ascension.
What a golden opportunity!
The middle-aged man stroked his charred hair, and a black bead appeared in his palm, filled with intense misfortune.
Good fortune and misfortune are intertwined. While he was stealing luck, he also accumulated the power of bad luck within himself. Ordinary people would be implicated and die, but he could use it to attack his enemies.
By interfering with Zixiao's tribulation process with bad luck, one can cause the other party to suffer a backlash.
Without Zixiao, he could use the power of heavenly secrets to shield the righteous path from view, allowing one of the Nascent Soul stage demonic cultivators to sneak over. Wouldn't it be easy to destroy the Wendao Sect?
The black bead flew out and headed straight for the Purple Cloud Immortal Venerable in the pillar of light.
The people below, including Qingxuzi, were completely unaware, as if they hadn't seen anything.
In the blink of an eye, a white streak swept across the sky, precisely wrapping around the black bead. Runes flashed, suppressing the power of misfortune.
Lou Yuqing's face lit up with joy: "I've found you."
A white ribbon struck the void, causing the middle-aged man to tumble out. He looked at Lou Yuqing in astonishment: "Power of Laws, you weren't asleep?"
Lou Yuqing scoffed, "Just luring the snake out of its hole."
The middle-aged man was terrified, but remained calm as he said, "This isn't your true form. You've taken over her body?"
Lou Yuqing manipulated the power of laws to form a white ribbon, which attacked the middle-aged man: "This has nothing to do with you."
The middle-aged man wanted to say something, but faced with her fierce attack, he had no choice but to brace himself and send out stars formed from the power of laws.
The white ribbon and the golden stars intertwined and engaged in a fierce chase in the air, their intensity even surpassing that of the Purple Cloud Immortal Venerable undergoing tribulation nearby.
Qingxuzi and the others were stunned for a moment. They wanted to intervene in the battle between the two, but found that they couldn't do it at all.
The group looked at each other blankly, staring at each other on the ground, seeing the same question in each other's eyes.
Who is that middle-aged man who suddenly appeared? Yuqing seems like a completely different person; has she really been possessed? Is the power they're using truly the power of laws?
By the way, two hours have passed, and the three Nascent Soul stage demonic cultivators who were supposed to launch a sneak attack have still not shown up. What's going on?
At the same time, Ling Yunxiao, who had been pulled into the Tianjian Space, woke up and saw the black cocoon floating in mid-air. He cautiously extended his divine sense to check it, but was bounced back.
"Yun Xiao?"
A familiar female voice came from within the black cocoon.
Ling Yunxiao wasn't sure if she was telling the truth, so he remained silent. Just then, countless black lines flew out from the space and wrapped him up in a black cocoon.
Ling Yunxiao: "..."
He was starting to believe that she was inside the cocoon.
Ling Yunxiao quickly explained: "Yuqing, your body is being controlled by a hidden entity. It even lured your master to undergo tribulation. We don't know what its intentions are. We must find a way to get out."
Inside the cocoon, Lou Yuqing, taking advantage of Ling Yunxiao's inability to see her, revealed a bright smile and feigned a sigh, saying, "It's no use, I've tried many methods."
Ling Yunxiao calmed himself down and reassured her, "Don't be afraid. As long as we figure out what the black lines are, we can break free."
He calmly said, "Based on my observation, it should be a collection of negative forces, somewhat similar to Yin energy, but much stronger."
Lou Yuqing looked surprised; it was exactly as described.
Stop teasing him and say seriously, "Do you remember what the Void Fortune Beast said about me being unlucky? These black lines are actually a manifestation of bad luck. The space we are in will suppress the spread of its power, so it cannot harm us at the moment. But if the space collapses, we will be plagued by bad luck and die."
Ling Yunxiao sensed something amiss: "You know that secret being?"
Otherwise, she wouldn't know so much, nor would she be completely unhurried.
Lou Yuqing explained, "It is on our side because it has no physical form. I lent it my body so that its power could be unleashed."
Ling Yunxiao asked in surprise, "Won't it have an effect on your body? Can it really deal with three Nascent Soul stage demonic cultivators?"
It wasn't a demonic cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage, but rather the spirit of the Reversed Star Chart. Tianjian deliberately made the matter sound extremely urgent through his inner voice, all to urge his master to make a decision as soon as possible.
Lou Yuqing silently corrected herself in her heart, but did not say it aloud. She did not know whether Tianjian would be willing to expose her secrets.
"It won't have any impact. We'll just wait for the results."
If things go smoothly, she might be able to see her master one last time.
The plan that Tianjian had told her before was to use her master's tribulation to lure the spirit of the reversed fate star chart into making a move, and she believed that the other party would not let go of such a good opportunity.
I wonder where things are at now?
besides.
Lou Yuqing asked, puzzled, "Why did it pull you in?"
"I don't know either." Ling Yunxiao recalled the flaw that the person had deliberately revealed, and then remembered that the other person had asked him if he liked Lou Yuqing. In an instant, his mind was in turmoil.
Just then, the space trembled violently.
Tianjian's voice came from all directions: "I'm about to use my killing move; your physical body will be in danger."
Lou Yuqing: "Huh?"
If the physical body is gone, can one still live?
As she pondered, she heard Ling Yunxiao speak: "Senior, if you only need a body to live in, then you can borrow mine."
Tianjian said calmly, "Do you know that for cultivators who are not at the Nascent Soul stage, the destruction of their physical body is equivalent to death?"
Ling Yunxiao calmly replied, "I know."
At this moment, he was somewhat relieved that he hadn't confessed to her, otherwise she would have been even more heartbroken. However, he still had to make her sad in the end.
If possible, he didn't want to say those words in front of her, because she would feel guilty. He wanted to say that he was doing it willingly.
After much deliberation, Ling Yunxiao finally closed his eyes and said nothing.
Tianjian said indifferently, "As you wish."
Lou Yuqing shouted, "Tianjian, what are you doing!"
A strange power spread through his body, and Ling Yunxiao felt his consciousness gradually slipping away.
Hearing Yuqing's anxious exclamation, he was suddenly overwhelmed with reluctance and regret. He was wrong; he should have said goodbye to her properly, but it was too late.
Half-asleep, a voice rang out: "If I were given a second chance, what would you say to her?"
Ling Yunxiao, his mind hazy, instinctively answered, "I like you, Yuqing. Could you consider being with me? I will cherish you and protect you. Your will is my will, I..."
Ling Yunxiao suddenly realized something was wrong. His consciousness was still inside his body, and the sensation on his hand was so obvious. He abruptly opened his eyes and met Lou Yuqing's gaze.
The two were so close that they could hear each other breathing.
Lou Yuqing chuckled and asked, "You like me?"
Ling Yunxiao's face flushed red instantly: "I, I..."
He was speaking so fluently just now, and now he's stuttering like this.
He secretly hated himself for being so weak, and fearing rejection, he said with a heavy heart, "Please forgive me if I have offended you. If you don't want to see me, I will stay far away from you."
Even though that's what he said, she probably wouldn't be that heartless.
Ling Yunxiao was filled with unease.
Lou Yuqing held out her wrist to him: "Look."
Ling Yunxiao dared not look.
Tianjian quipped, "Useless."
Ling Yunxiao looked up at the sky and saw a ball of light shimmering with multicolored halos, looking quite sacred.
A voice came from within the ball of light: "What are you looking at me for? Stop dawdling. You can't even finish a sentence. These days, cultivators are really not decisive enough."
Ling Yunxiao was stunned for a moment, then realized that he had been tricked by this senior. The other party had never intended to use his body; he was just trying to force him to tell his true feelings.
Ling Yunxiao was both shocked and angry. His eyes were wide open as he stared at the ball of light. The other party was having a good time, but he was not prepared at all. What if Yu Qing rejected him? How could he face her then?
The next moment, a beautiful hand reached out in front of him. A red thread was tied around her wrist, extending outwards, with the other end on his wrist!
In an instant, all sounds disappeared from my ears, leaving only the rapid beating of my heart.
"What a coincidence, I like you too." A woman's pleasant voice came at the same time.
Ling Yunxiao subconsciously looked at Lou Yuqing, whose sweet smile soothed his tension.
He gently took her fingertips in his hand: "Would you like to try a relationship with me?"
Lou Yuqing placed her hand on it: "I'm willing."
When Ling Yunxiao calmly faced death in her place, she found it hard to describe her feelings. All she knew was that the red thread summoned by the Heavenly Mirror suddenly became dazzlingly bright.
Tianjian sighed leisurely, "The matchmaking was successful."
Before Lou Yuqing could say anything, he said seriously, "Let me remind you, the battle outside is not over yet. If you want to kill the spirit of the Reverse Fate Star Chart, your physical body will definitely be destroyed."
Ling Yunxiao's heart tightened: "I can..."
Tianjian interrupted him: "You can't do it. I am connected to her by energy, and she has an immaculate body that can withstand my power of laws. If it were you, your body would immediately disintegrate."
Ling Yunxiao wanted to say something, but Lou Yuqing squeezed his hand: "Don't worry, Tianjian said so, there should be a way to keep me alive."
Tianjian nodded: "That's right. After your physical body collapses, I will take the time to rebuild your body. During this period, you will need to stay in the space and sleep for a while."
Lou Yuqing decisively said, "Let's do it this way."
She glanced amusedly at Ling Yunxiao, whose face showed a conflicted expression. He himself had been incredibly swift in his death, but now that it was her turn, she was hesitant.
Ling Yunxiao understood her meaning and gave a bitter smile. He could decide his own life and death, but he could not accept letting her bear the risk of her demise.
But now that things have come to this, he has no choice but to believe her.
outside world.
The battle between Tianjian and Niyun Xingpan reached a fever pitch, with the latter transforming into its true form, the Xingpan, which was wrapped in golden runes and fled into the distance.
After Tianjian and Lou Yuqing finished communicating, their consciousness left the space, and bright white runes appeared all over their bodies, resembling a dazzling full moon.
Silver threads shot out, transcending the barriers of space, and pierced into the star chart.
The star chart trembled violently, its golden light expanding and contracting, emitting a mournful sound, before falling to the ground, covered with countless cracks.
Qingxuzi and the others watched the battlefield from afar. Seeing the scales of victory tip in their favor, before they could even rejoice, they saw Lou Yuqing's body transform into countless points of light and vanish without a trace.
"Yuqing!"
Hearing their heart-wrenching screams, the Purple Cloud Immortal Venerable, who was undergoing tribulation, felt his ominous premonition come true and instantly spread his divine sense outwards.
The young apprentice is not here.
Immortal Venerable Zixiao was distracted, and while he was preoccupied, a purple tribulation lightning bolt as thick as a bucket suddenly struck down, its power comparable to the sum of the previous sixty-four lightning bolts.
Zixiao Immortal Venerable was blasted from the sky onto the rock face of the mountain. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, his face was deathly pale, and his body was covered with charred marks.
Despair was evident in his eyes.
When he hadn't seen the three Nascent Soul stage demonic cultivators who had launched the sneak attack two hours earlier, he realized that he had been deceived by his little disciple's inner thoughts.
Subsequent events confirmed his suspicions. For some unknown reason, his youngest disciple was able to use the power of the laws to expose the Heavenly Mystery Daoist who was hiding in the void.
Surprisingly, the Taoist Master Tianji wanted to attack him.
The other party had once divined his fate, leading him to accept a disciple as his last apprentice, and he had even given them a gift in return.
It seems that the other party has ill intentions.
Zixiao Immortal Venerable was somewhat worried about his little disciple, but he was too busy dealing with the tribulation to spare any attention. However, he could sense the aura of his little disciple's soul and knew that she was still alive.
And now, there's nothing left.
She and the Taoist priest perished together.
The next tribulation lightning was about to take shape, but the Purple Cloud Immortal Venerable remained completely still.
He killed Yuqing. He shouldn't have taken her as his disciple. What's the use of high cultivation? What's the use of ascension? He can't even protect his own disciple.
"Are you going to give up? She's still alive."
When Tianjian appeared beside him, after Lou Yuqing's body collapsed, her soul fell into a deep sleep. It originally wanted to start rebuilding her body, but found that her master had developed a death wish.
Master Zixiao felt a glimmer of hope: "Really?"
He recognized that the power aura emanating from the other party was the same as the power of law used by his little disciple, and that the other party must have been controlling his little disciple's body just now.
Tianjian said confidently, "Of course it's true."
Don't think it didn't notice; his murderous aura was practically overflowing. If it said no, he would probably use his last bit of strength to kill it and avenge Lou Yuqing.
Hmph, it's quite a fine artifact spirit!
At the same time, Ling Yunxiao's voice rang out: "Senior, Yuqing is not dead!"
After Lou Yuqing's soul fell into a deep sleep, he was expelled from the space.
The light in Zixiao Immortal Venerable's eyes rekindled, and with a flash, he once again underwent the baptism of lightning tribulation.
To be honest, if he hadn't cultivated the Body of Ten Thousand Thunders, which could neutralize some of the power of heavenly thunder, that pause just now would have been enough to kill him.
Seeing that everything was alright, Ling Yunxiao looked at Tianjian beside him and asked, "Senior, when will Yuqing wake up?"
"It can take anywhere from half a month to a month."
Tianjian originally intended to hitch a ride back to the Upper Realm with Zixiao, but Lou Yuqing still needed it, so it had to be postponed for several decades until it ascended with her later.
After an unknown amount of time, the thunderclouds began to shrink.
A beautiful ray of light shot out from the sky, enveloping the body of the Purple Cloud Immortal Venerable, and then carried him through the boundary wall to the Immortal Realm.
The Purple Cloud Immortal Venerable of the Wendao Sect has successfully ascended to immortality!
The news spread like wildfire throughout the cultivation world. When it reached the front lines, everyone's spirits soared, and the demonic sect suffered a series of defeats.
Three months later, in the Black Barbarian Domain.
The disciples of the Purple Cloud Immortal Venerable joined the battlefield, and wherever they went, they were able to find any demonic cultivators who had slipped through the net, as if they had an automatic tracking function.
As the story spread, everyone began to call her the nemesis of demonic cultivators.
Lou Yuqing, who was now using the Heavenly Mirror to her advantage, said smugly, "It feels pretty good."
Ling Yunxiao smiled at her and squeezed her hand.
Not long after, the Demonic Sect was completely wiped out of the Black Barbarian Domain.
"Are you leaving?" Gu Bugai looked at his little apprentice and Ling Yunxiao in front of him, a faint smile on his lips.
After his ascension, he discovered that he could control this avatar in the immortal realm, so he revealed his true identity to his little disciple.
Lou Yuqing was startled when she learned that Senior Brother Gu was her master. She smiled and said, "After staying in the sect for so long, it's time to go out and gain some experience."
Of course, the main reason is that Tianjian exhausted its energy to reshape her body and is now in hibernation.
The sect's gossip has been exhausted, so she needs to go outside and eat more gossip to try and wake it up sooner.
Gu Bugai, understanding the unspoken message, said, "Be careful in everything."
Lou Yuqing nodded.
Qingxuzi appeared with Song Li, his eyes filled with gratitude: "Yuqing, if anything goes wrong, just send a message back, and I'll take care of it for you."
The murderer who killed Wen Niang has been brought to justice, and he can finally face his daughter with a clear conscience.
Song Li's expression softened: "I also want to go out and gain experience. If you encounter any danger, you can send me a message."
Lou Yuqing accepted her kindness: "I know."
Si Nidie stepped forward and said, "Junior sister, I will miss you. If I weren't too weak, I would have gone with you. But you and Ling Yunxiao want to have some alone time, so I won't disturb you."
By the end, her tone had become noticeably sarcastic.
Lou Yuqing was both amused and exasperated: "Senior Sister."
Ling Yunxiao, standing beside her, remained silent, simply holding her hand tighter. Since they had just started dating, he naturally wanted some alone time to deepen their relationship.
Hao Tianping patted him on the shoulder: "Come back and wait for your wedding banquet."
Ling Yunxiao turned his head to look at Lou Yuqing, who smiled brightly: "Okay."
He smiled too.
Lou Yuqing waved her hand: "I'm leaving."
Kui Houming and the others watched their departing figures for a moment before parting ways.
After the two of them went out to travel, the legend of the gossipmonger arose on the mainland.
It is said that this gossip-loving person's cultivation is unfathomable. He may appear in the north of the mainland in the morning to expose the evil cultivators, and in the south of the mainland in the afternoon to reveal something horrifying.
I've heard that the gossip-loving real people sometimes act as matchmakers, occasionally helping people find a partner, but more often than not, they expose the true colors of those who are unfaithful in relationships.
Countless people wanted to find the real person behind the gossip, some to repay a debt of gratitude, some to seek revenge, and some to assassinate, but no one could find this legendary figure.
At that moment, Lou Yuqing listened to the speculations in the restaurant about the origins of the gossipmonger, smiled mysteriously, and kept his merits and fame hidden.
-----------------------
Author's Note: The story is finally finished!
I highly recommend the pre-order for "I'm Really Not an Extraterrestrial Demon".
Copywriting:
On the first day of his journey, Lin Shuangyu was arrested and imprisoned.
Crime: Extraterrestrial Demon.
That's a capital offense.
Lin Shuangyu cried out, "I am really not an extraterrestrial demon!"
That night, evil spirits invaded.
Lin Shuangyu huddled in a corner, trembling with fear.
Just as the demon was about to swallow it whole, it suddenly cried out in terror, "You are a disguised Heavenly Demon!"
Lin Shuangyu: ?
Chen Jiugui was imprisoned next to the extraterrestrial demon, but he was not afraid because he hadn't eaten enough during the day, and the demon had given him his food.
She is a good person.
Until evening, he saw her repeatedly calling someone a demon, and finally letting out a burp: "..."
Is this what she's supposed to eat?
Later, they entered the academy established by the prison and formed a demon-hunting team.
When the team members arrived late for their mission, they asked in confusion, "Captain, where is the demon?"
Lin Shuangyu smiled: "I've purified them all."
The team members exclaimed, "He truly deserves to be called our captain."
Only Chen Jiugui knew that she had eaten everything.
