In the final scene, the Daoist priest, amidst his laughter, gradually blurred and became transparent, turning into a wisp of dust and disappearing into the cave...
This is the final chapter of the story!
The person looking in the mirror also felt a sense of loss; he had acted somewhat inappropriately.
Only now do they realize that the other party is not their true form, but rather a manifestation of vital energy.
Then who is the other party's true identity?
His ascension to the path of cultivation, coupled with his infatuation with mortal women, left onlookers utterly bewildered...

After all, it's my first novel.
Chapter 703 The Seven Treasures Wondrous Tree, A Mockery of Fate
There was no sound, and nothing was clear.
The cause and effect are erased and the gray lines are wiped away. This time-fixing technique brings about a backflow full of mystery, leaving people confused and unable to understand its form.
Fu Guang condensed strands of light into the Great Sun Dao Law, and behind the scenes, a pair of bright silver eyes reflected the light of dawn, more profound than the stars.
After a long while, the mist dissipated, carrying with it the thoughtful sigh of a great being, and drifted away to a place thousands of miles away, disappearing without a trace...
At one end of the celestial palace, the branches of Taichu Crystal Divine Tree were strong and vigorous. A woman, surrounded by colorful mist, could be vaguely seen wearing a seven-colored Divine Prohibition robe. Her whole body glowed, her curves were beautiful, her hair was flowing, and she exuded a serene aura that seemed to reach far and wide.
This was astonishing. Such pressure was almost at the level of Quasi-Emperor. The chains of Saint Dao Laws, refined to their extreme, were exceptionally brilliant, like an ancient moon god reappearing across the River of Time, making people tremble.
"Hmm, seven special physical attributes combined, this little girl is no ordinary person."
"Master Uncle, what is 'union'?"
Among the group outside the temple, a discussion arose from a palanquin. The jade curtain made of tortoiseshell and pearls swayed continuously, revealing a huge Black Dog's head and a bald head.
Seeing Hua Hua's eager expression, Black Emperor chuckled and said with an air of arrogance, "Those who know this in the whole world are few and far between, and I am one of them..."
Just as Big Black Huang was about to reveal the secret, a gaze was cast from afar, ethereal and distant, as if containing incredible power, causing it to shudder and break out in a cold sweat.
Hua Hua was confused and kept urging him on. However, to his surprise, his previously amiable senior uncle, the Black Emperor, suddenly turned hostile and smacked him on the bald head, making him wince in pain and almost cry.
"No wonder Duan De said that Black Emperor Huang was born in the Year of the Dog; turning on someone is perfectly normal for him."
The young monk cursed inwardly, then a sudden warning struck him—damn it, he had forgotten that his master knew Mind-Reading.
However, it was too late to remedy the situation at that point.
"Bang, bang..."
A muffled thud followed by a crisp sound, heard from near and far, each note distinct, carrying a certain wondrous rhythm, and carrying far and wide.
The Big Black Dog, with a solemn expression, said, "To speak ill of one's superiors deserves a beating."
Hua Hua dared not speak out in anger, and was forced to submit to the tyranny, fawningly massaging the Black Dog's back.
Meanwhile, he secretly activated the "Former" secret technique to solidify his Immortal Platform and resist the opponent's Buddhist Sect magic.
Once the feeling of being spied on disappeared, Hua Hua was about to vent his anger again, but at the last moment, his primordial spirit shuddered, as if some great terror awaited him ahead, which made him abandon the idea. Instead, he became even more respectful, spewing out all sorts of beautiful words as if they were free.
"My senior master has the appearance of True Immortal..."
"What is the Human Emperor worth? My master will one day reign supreme over the Six Realms and prove Eternal..."
"It's absolutely genuine, more genuine than Immortal Gold. Of all these senior uncles, I like Senior Uncle Black Emperor the most..."
Looking at his bald-headed junior apprentice, who was practically grinning from ear to ear, the Big Black Dog was suspicious and doubtful.
His primordial spirit, residing in his Immortal Platform bone, held a talisman engraved with patterns of time and continued to shake it. Finally, confirming that no one was speaking ill of him, he relaxed, contentedly enjoying Hua Hua's service, and began reciting his own composed verses.
" The Black Emperor sweeps across the land, his tiger-like gaze so majestic; the bell tolls, the ancient Realm Annihilation, and all the prodigies are redeemed..."
Deep within the Heavenly Mandate Palace, dragon energy swirls and rosy light shimmers. Here, there are many jade trees, all over a meter tall, numbering nine hundred and ninety-nine, each with a different color. Some are like red agate, others are as green as leaves, and still others are as dazzling as gold. Each tree is rooted in jade, its roots and stems resembling writhing dragons.
A gentle breeze stirs the jade trees, causing their leaves to sway and shimmer, radiating a vibrant, shimmering glow. A myriad of auspicious wisps of air transform the place into Immortal Domain on earth.
The largest ancient tree was a full nine zhang tall. On its crystal branches, the black-haired woman withdrew her gaze, her pupils displaying seven colors. Her exquisitely beautiful face was frosty, exuding a cold indifference that kept people at a distance.
She moved her pearly teeth slightly and calmly said, "My elder brother has come. He's here because of that lineage. To give it or not to give it...?"
The handsome young man on the other side remained expressionless, as if he had expected all of this.
There's no need to use causal relationships.
In the entire Kunlun Great Domain, besides those few Palace Masters, only the Seven Treasures Wondrous Tree here can alter a person's destiny and bloodline...
A wondrous tree among jade!
This is one of the ancient divine weapon sequences passed down from antiquity.
As heaven moves with strength, Immortal Gold is born from the Void;
The earth is receptive to change, and this pure land contains spiritual energy.
Within the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, deep within the Kunling marrow lies buried marrow, from which jade trees can grow, seemingly Life. If obtained by a person of great supernatural power, they can be forged into supreme weapons of unparalleled power.
If it were to be born from the ancestral veins and immortal roots of the world, it could give birth to the Seven Treasures Wondrous Tree, a magical artifact comparable to Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon. At that time, the seven treasures' radiance would sweep across everything, and nothing could withstand it.
This item also has special effects. It is made of seven precious materials: rose gold, mithril, lapis lazuli, crystal, giant clam shell, red pearl, and agate. The light emitted by these seven materials can give birth to Water of Seven Lights.
This item can alter one's destiny and enhance one's physical strength. It is an extremely rare item in the world, capable of changing one's innate divine qualities.
The most valuable aspect is that even if the Weapon Master does not have the corresponding strength, they can still unleash a powerful weapon with this type of magical artifact.
Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a clan that possessed the Seven Treasures Wondrous Tree. Quasi-Emperor in the clan used it to roam the world and almost attained enlightenment. However, he eventually encountered a great terror in ancient history. In the final battle at the pinnacle, he was forced to die in defeat. The immortal root was also shattered in that battle, and only a few words were left in the historical records.
Originally, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths could no longer produce such top-grade genuine artifacts of the Jade Tree series.
There are only a few ancestral veins in the world. The Big Dragon that Burial Emperor Star was shattered and split into four. The veins of the other Emperor Stars were also damaged and excavated to varying degrees.
Earth is no exception. As the place where the Ancient Heavenly Court nurtured spirits, it was originally the most pristine land in this world, unmatched even by forbidden zones.
However, the Ruthless One's palm strike from over two hundred thousand years ago shattered the very foundation of the earth, causing severe damage to this place.
In the long years that followed, countless people schemed and plotted to become Immortal Ascension Ground.
The most recent instance was over a thousand years ago, when the Saint King Cao Cao appointed three Ancient Saint as tomb raiders and excavators, constantly digging up ancient tombs in the hope of breaking through the underground caves and entering a realm close to immortality.
However, that person ultimately failed; they didn't find the correct route.
Only Great Saint can enter the Immortal Ascension Ground, and even for Great Saint, the chance of survival is extremely slim.
In the last 100,000 years, apart from Su Yu, only Rong Chengshi escaped from a deadly situation, bringing with him the Ginseng Fruit Tree.
Furthermore, even in places with Immortal Spirit Divine Marrow, spirit trees still need to compete with Innate Saint Spirit.
The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, fallen to the mortal realm, are covered in dust, making it difficult for even the Immortal Medicine to communicate with spirits, and almost no plant-based creatures can escape their dazed state.
Under these conditions, the competition between the Spirit Tree and the Saint Spirit almost always resulted in the Saint Spirit Lineage winning.
It is not allowed in the natural environment, so human intervention is necessary.
However, creating the environment necessary to cultivate the Seven Treasures Wondrous Tree is extremely demanding and complicated, enough to make even an emperor frown...
The embryo of the Seven Treasures Wondrous Tree in the Heavenly Mandate Palace required many celestial treasures, including Divine Spring, pure land, and the energy of Longevity. It contained several kinds of supreme treasures at the highest level, and even had the intervention of Supreme being who had mastered the laws of Fortune. Only by reversing time could it be cultivated into a peak item of the Jade Tree sequence. In terms of materials alone, it is by no means inferior to Immortal Gold or primordial energy.
Therefore, this tree can be regarded as the treasure of the Mandate Palace, the only tool for the female palace master to cultivate both body and mind, and can be compared with the ultimate secret artifacts such as the Grand Pure Purple Gold Heaven-Burning Lamp.
" The Water of Seven Lights is rare, and we will need it in the future. Why should it be given to that faction?" The woman in the black dress was as aloof as the moon, exuding an air of otherworldly grace, and her attitude was very clear.
She disliked that faction, therefore she refused!
The master of the Mandate Palace pursed his lips, wanting to say something, but remained silent.
If it were one of his other older sisters, he could make the decision.
When this sixth sister became a saint, she merged with the Taiyin True Soul. Her Yin power was too strong, and she became increasingly indifferent. Once she got angry, the power of the Calamity Moon, which had been tempered to the extreme, would erupt, and few people below the Quasi-Emperor could withstand it.
Even for him, it would be difficult to defeat his opponent without using the Grand Pure Ancient Lamp.
not to mention...
"How could I possibly fight with Sixth Sister..."
The master of the Mandate Palace shook his head and glanced back at the Jade Forest. These ancient trees were crystal clear, rooted in the Nine Heavens Divine Jade Vein, and arranged in a special order, which was extremely meticulous and complex.
Upon closer inspection, each plant bears divine patterns imprinted with Nine Secrets: Zu, resembling creations of the Great Dao, adorned with speckled golden threads.
The young man gazed at the jade tree, his eyes reflecting the Dao, as if he were comprehending the Dao. However, he couldn't help but recall that absurd Daoist in his mind and shook his head.
Clearly, the pheasant captured by the Daoist priest was none other than the titled lady of the Luotian Realm.
Fate can be so interesting sometimes...
"On the causal line, who remembers that after being abducted to the demon cave, that Zhi Ji was a virgin, and there were signs of her losing her virginity..." The Master of the Mandate Palace shook his head, a half-smile on his face, along with a deep-seated hostility and a certain mockery.
A mockery of insignificant mortals!
Regardless of the circumstances, that man abandoned his wife, and this karmic debt will eventually have to be resolved.
They had kept quiet until now because they disdained to bully the weak.
This retrospective reveals how the Zhi Ji. If this reality were exposed, what would her expression be like, betrayed by her husband...?

Chapter 704 Manifestation of Divinity, Time Stop
The Heavenly Mandate Palace, though called a 'palace', is many times larger than the Cultivation Star. Within it, sand dunes, vast seas, abysses, and great rivers rise and fall in a jumbled tapestry. The only connection to the Great Luo Heaven Realm is a surging ocean, upon which float wisps of Chaos mist, ethereal and boundless.
After Ye Fan and his group passed through the illusory projection and entered the Mandate Palace, there were no attendants to guide them, only a vast and deep sea, shimmering with light. Mermaids were on the shore, shedding tears of sorrow under the moon, which made people feel sad.
"Strange, why isn't anyone here to greet us?"
Looking at the empty, deep sea, Hua Hua was somewhat puzzled.
The palace master and my master are brothers, so the servants have to address Ye Fan as "Master." Why is he nowhere to be seen today?
