For a time, this stretch of sky fell silent.
There were no enemies, no war. All cultivators were so peaceful. After that person's arrival, everything had quieted down.
"In this world,"
"how many old acquaintances remain?"
Jiang Ding sighed softly and looked in every direction.
Blazing Sun True Venerable was gone.
Three thousand years ago, he had died in the Sword Combat Battlefield. That battle-loving Great Sun Sword Cultivator had ultimately been unable to keep winning and fleeing forever; one day, he had vanished.
Hei Louxi Heavenly Monarch was gone.
The most outstanding among the Tushan Maids of the Northern Plains era, born of the Black Clan Collateral Branch, she had come to the Upper Realm and advanced to Void Refinement. More than a thousand years ago, she had died on the battlefield alongside the Tushan Maids under her command.
Moonlit Night Heavenly Monarch, that mutated Moonlight Rabbit and cultivator from the era of Tushan Immortal City, had advanced to Void Refinement in the Upper Realm and likewise perished in battle.
And many Deity Transformation Cultivators who had ascended from the Northern Plains over these tens of thousands of years...
That was simply how it was.
That was simply how this world was. As time passed, familiar figures from one's memories would, at some point, disappear forever.
Countless later generations of prodigies and outstanding talents emerged, possessing exceptional gifts and aptitude, yet it no longer carried much meaning.
Many emotions surfaced within the Great Sun Sword Master's heart.
Then, they gradually calmed.
The lake of his heart became smooth as a mirror, without the slightest ripple.
"Greetings, Heavenly Monarch."
At that moment, a woman like wind and snow approached from afar. Her bearing was peerless as she gave a graceful bow.
Great Sun Sword Cultivator, Blood Spirit Sacred Body—Mu Tianxue.
