"Sect Master, why are you raising so many insects?"
"This, this is called Gu—Refining Gu."
"But, Sect Master, none of the insects we put in the fire survived. Can we really refine a Celestial Gu?"
"It should be okay, right?"
In fact, Keke didn't understand the significance of this most of the time.
Why is magic called spiritual power? Why is burning insects called refining gu?
However, all she knew was that this was the ancestral law of the Azure Cloud Sect.
Immutable.
"Sect Master, Yumo didn't dare kill the witch again, and she got away—"
"Yes, we must cultivate our minds! We cultivators must be decisive in killing—"
What does "cultivating the mind" mean?
"Exactly, we must be decisive and ruthless."
"But how can one be decisive in killing?"
"One must cultivate one's mind----"
The disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect would always show expressions of admiration and respect.
So Keke could only cough once, adopting an unfathomable demeanor.
In fact, Keke herself only had a superficial understanding; she was just instinctively saying and doing things in a certain way.
This is how the Azure Cloud Sect should be.
"Sect Leader, about the money—"
"We can be mercenaries and sell Magic Crystal."
"As expected of the sect leader!"
The process of creating the Azure Cloud Sect was very difficult because Keke herself had to teach everyone things that even she herself only had a vague understanding of.
Many times, when everyone looked at her expectantly, hoping she would give an explanation...
Keke herself felt helpless and wanted to ask others for answers.
But here, she is the sect leader of the Azure Cloud Sect.
No one can question her, because she is the strongest, knows the most, and is even the creator of all these concepts.
"Master, I want to compile the stories of our ancestors into a book so that more people can know them."
"How dare you! That's what I'm going to use—"
Bai Mei acknowledges her mistake.
Keke wrote down all the cultivation stories she dreamed about from memory.
During the day, I attend classes and fight monsters.
I stay up late writing novels at night, and read comics in my spare time.
As a magical girl, you just need to get used to staying up all night.
Transformation can directly refresh the status, turning humanity's original twelve-hour usage right to the world into twenty-four hours.
In addition, Keke independently upgraded and developed magic such as [Super Concentration State], [ Serious Text Copying ], and [ Fully Automatic Typing ].
Reading ten books a day is more than enough.
"Fasting? Do I really have to do that, Master? But if I don't eat, my stomach will hurt at night."
"Then forget it."
"Master, if I don't eat, I won't be able to run—"
"Master, I won't be able to transform."
"Master, I'm going to get fat—"
"Never mind, I'll do it myself."
Not every action will receive support; some are simply too outrageous.
These disciples would also refuse.
Keke wasn't some kind of demon, and the disciples neither wanted to nor were forced to comply.
Cultivating immortality ultimately depends on one's personal will.
Without a steadfast heart seeking the truth, no amount of urging or encouragement will be of any use.
Just like learning.
Gradually, Keke began to adapt to everything about cultivating immortality.
After her failed attempt at fasting, she tried many other methods.
Finally, they successfully refined several military-grade compressed biscuits into a Bigu Pill.
Because it's so effective, one pill can keep you full for three or four days.
That night, as she was sleeping, she dreamed of a boy.
Keke didn't know him, but she always felt that they knew each other, as if they had known each other since childhood.
Subconsciously, a sense of closeness arose, and there was even a desire to get closer.
However, the boy just lamented his situation, even stomping his foot, looking somewhat annoyed.
"How could I not have thought of that! Could it be that my talent is actually Keke to Coco's?"
Keke was also startled, looking at him cautiously, "What kind of talent is it?"
"You have such talent for cultivating immortality! I never imagined that the Bigu Pill I've been pursuing for so many years would actually be refined by you!"
Is that so difficult?
Fasting itself is meant to help the body resist hunger, Bigu Pill help resist hunger, so you can immediately think of compressed biscuits.
The boy was kneeling on the ground, holding a compressed biscuit, his face haggard.
"So, you've always been with me—my Bigu Pill."
That's incredibly devout!
Coco was even a little scared by their Keke.
Just by looking at his expression, Keke knew how much suffering he had endured for this one Bigu Pill.
They must have been hungry for a long time.
He's also someone who really enjoys exercising, so his nutritional and calorie needs are high. If he were to starve himself...
etc.
Keke paused for a moment, stunned.
Why did I naturally assume he was someone who enjoyed exercising?
The boy got up from the ground, then looked at her seriously. "Go on, I want to see just how far you can go."
What's with that defiant look, like she wants to prove herself superior?
What exactly are we comparing?
When Coco woke up later, Keke just forget about it.
In reality, because she doesn't sleep much, Keke rarely dreams.
"Sect Master, are you sure you want to initiate the Heavenly Tribulation?"
"Recently, there have been too many unlicensed promotions, causing a lot of trouble. Magical girls have even been severely injured or killed. The introduction of the Heavenly Tribulation System is imminent."
"Reporting to the Sect Master, we have reached a cooperation agreement with the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau, and all magical girls have been registered. The Heavenly Tribulation funded by the Ice-Colored Group has been successfully launched and is now in use, locking onto all magical girls."
"Well done!"
The Heavenly Tribulation System was developed in cooperation with the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau.
It can not only pinpoint the location of all magical girls at any time, but also detect their magical power status.
Not only can it ensure that when someone breaks through to the Full Bloom without a license, Heavenly Tribulation will descend to knock them Full Bloom, but it can also prevent the magical girls from being harmed.
Killing two birds with one stone.
The great success of the Heavenly Tribulation also boosted Keke's confidence considerably.
What? Cultivating immortality isn't that difficult.
"Master, Master, Yarrow has defected! She says she's going to start a new Azure Cloud Sect and even went to South China to participate in a competition, saying she wants to embark on Full Bloom and replace cultivation with Harry Potter—"
"I will expel her from the Azure Cloud Sect!"
When they went to South China, Keke had another dream.
She saw that the young man looked relaxed and carefree, even possessing a somewhat otherworldly air.
" Keke, I won again!"
He clearly said he lost last time, but this time he suddenly said he won, leaving Keke a little confused.
"It seems you don't even know how you lost, so I'll reluctantly tell you. First, your Heavenly Tribulation System is far inferior to my intelligence; that's one reason for your defeat."
As the boy spoke, he stroked his beard—in reality, he was quite young, with barely any beard to be seen.
But you know what, that move Return to Truth quite intimidating.
It makes him seem really big, as if he's actually stroking his beard.
His smile held a hint of smugness, and then he held up two fingers.
"Under my command, even the heretical path of Harry Potter remains obedient within the sect. Under your command, however, Yarrow has become a traitor, betraying Azure Cloud and establishing its own sect. This is a lose-lose situation for both of you."
"I won twice, you only won once, that's a lose-lose-lose situation—"
What a load of nonsense.
"Your talent for cultivating immortality is indeed far inferior to mine, but it's not bad either. Don't be discouraged."
Although she was a little annoyed, Keke didn't intend to argue.
After all, she was genuinely troubled by the Yarrow.
This guy completely disobeyed her and constantly clashed with other disciples in the sect.
"It seems the only option is to expel her from Azure Cloud."
"How can a sect leader arbitrarily expel his disciples?" The young man stood with his hands behind his back, his tone one of exasperation. "A combination of kindness and severity, a heart for the world, and no holding grudges over trivial matters—that's the demeanor a sect leader should have."
"I have absolutely no knowledge of Yarrow ----"
"You usually either simply comfort her or just deny her, never confronting her at all, so naturally this is the case."
The young man said calmly, "Take her down, beat her into submission. The way of the world is unified, and it's all about fists. How can your weak words possibly persuade a disciple who has gone mad with demonic possession?"
"That's my disciple—"
"We must strike even harder against our own disciples."
So when Keke arrived in South China, she finally stopped being polite to the Yarrow.
In front of everyone, he not only shattered Yarrow's demonic armor with a single blow of his Buddha's Fury Flame Lotus, but also kicked Yarrow's dress, which had been untransformed, and tore open the seams.
With sheer force and conviction, they completely refuted the Yarrow.
Unexpectedly, the once arrogant girl actually became obedient and returned to the Azure Cloud Sect with her. However, she later wanted to open a Harry Potter Branch Azure Cloud Harry Potter.
Keke let her do as she pleased.
Later, the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau used the Mental Image and the development of the Holy Church to suppress the turmoil in the Old World and kill those fallen magical girls.
As the Incubators ' conspiracy is gradually exposed, many magical girls are deceived by them with the truth. Incubators 'Qingluan senior and close friend Iris lose their magical girl powers, and other magical girls are tricked into Full Bloom and falling into a coma.
Keke begins to cooperate with the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau to expel the Incubators.
As I've come this far, I've hardly dreamed anymore.
The boy was never seen again.
She eventually brought Ruoyun back to Bai Mei's side; although she suppressed the Old World, she saved Jade Fox outside of the Calamity Curse Realm, and Jade Fox and White Fox joined the Holy Church and became the new Holy Church Walker.
Gradually, she, who was unfamiliar with online novels, began to become more and more familiar with them and became increasingly fascinated by them.
Because she discovered that the answers to everything in this world could be found within it.
Dark Turmoil, a single Great Emperor in an era, the Supreme of the fallen forbidden zone -
Even the process of Full Bloom and ascending to the position of Great Emperor is similar; the Heavenly Heart Imprint and the Origin of the World are almost indistinguishable.
Although the elixir of immortality has not been found, his later years are uncertain, and if he were to live another life, it would be exactly the same.
Moreover, as her understanding of online literature and contemporary society deepened, she became increasingly convinced.
I, Keke, am the Great Emperor!
Keke, who dominates the heavens and the earth, stands atop the sky.
Not long after, Keke changed her name to Emperor Liuli.
Because Liuli is simply not imposing enough; Magical Girl Emperor Liuli sounds powerful and majestic.
Although I had considered the Flame Emperor Liuli, I ultimately had to avoid using the name of Flame Emperor ancestor, and the Emperor Liuli was not bad either.
After acquiring a new magical girl name, Keke began to emulate her ancestors in her daily life, and even started to construct her own stories about her ancestors to play as, so as to gain a deeper understanding of her ancestors' past.
Coco used to stumble over famous lines, hesitating and feeling Keke.
They were able to stand confidently in front of everyone, reciting hymns and announcing their magic names.
She gave new names to each of the Old World she suppressed, making Azure Cloud the most revered deity in the nine heavens and ten earths.
Furthermore, the magical girls of Azure Cloud were further categorized, abandoning the newly perfected seven-level classification of the [ Magical Girl Mortal Method ], suppressing all other schools of thought, and exclusively honoring the Heavenly Emperor.
Originally, the sprouting, New Sprout, Full Blossom, Lush Leaves, Branching Wheel and Sea, and Full Bloom of the cycle of Bud corresponded to the [ Mortal Method ].
It was completely changed to Blood Moving, Grotto-Heaven, Spirit Transformation, Inscription, Formation Arrangement, Venerable, Divine Flame, True One, Holy Sacrifice, Heavenly Deity, Void Dao, Self Severing, Supreme Being, Supreme, True Immortal, Immortal King, Immortal Emperor.
The classification of disciples is also more detailed. Above the True Disciple is the Emperor True Disciple. In addition to the Inner and Outer Disciples, there are fifty-five levels as identity badges.
From lowest to highest, they are the Sea of Bitterness, the Life Spring, the Divine Bridge, the Other Shore, and the Wheel and Sea —from Immortal One to Immortal Six, from Immortal Seven Level One to Immortal One Level Nine, Immortal Eight, Immortal Nine, and even the highest Heavenly Emperor and Red Dust Immortal. Each disciple's salary is also divided according to this.
This even alleviated Azure Cloud's financial pressure.
Keke became increasingly engrossed in it, sometimes even forgetting what her original name was.
He defeated the Dream Hatchers Little Seven and preserved the Calamity Human Realm as World Bubble at the last moment; he also defeated the Land of Mirrors, but spared the Land of Mirrors's Prince Itaen, and became friends with her, although she was still extremely arrogant and always said arrogant things.
But the Prince also helped her a great deal with the technology of the Land of Mirrors.
Slaying the Three Corpses Three Corpses the Land of Mirrors, and then ascended to the Immortal Realm Chongxu with them.
With this, the ancient book of Keke was completed.
He could readily recount the many events of Azure Cloud's ancestors, and could speak eloquently about their past.
After connecting Chongxu with the New World, she named Chongxu the Immortal Realm, giving her disciples the hope of ascension.
They Chongxu, and in the name of freedom, they became friends with Su and rebuilt Chongxu.
Chongxu was transformed into a true Immortal Realm, and a real mine was built on its periphery for disciples to mine after their ascension.
She stepped into the river of time again and met Lu Ya, the ancestor of witches, in the past. Although she treated her coldly throughout and hardly said a word to her, she was evil, indifferent, and powerful.
But even as he was finally defeated by himself and disappeared, he sighed and gave himself a heart.
So, we've become friends, I guess?
Then the Dream Hatchers reappeared, stirring up a new wave of Dark Turmoil in the New World.
Numerous magical girls in their Full Bloom awaken and begin to split the New World, seeking to devour its very essence.
[ Shion ] and the disciples of Azure Cloud suppressed him completely!
As she gazed upon the devastation, upon the Mental Image Remnants left behind by Full Bloom magical girls.
I'm increasingly convinced that this so-called New World...
It's just a poor imitation of the world of " Shrouding the Heavens Sky".
What New World?
This place is where the Emperor Burial Star!
Chongxu is in the south, so isn't this place the Emperor Burial Star Big Dipper? And the so-called Chongxu is actually the so-called Ancient Emperor Star Ziwei!
Even the settings are the same: the Emperor Burial Star, Big Dipper, is the burial site of a bunch of Full Bloom Great Emperor, and forbidden zones run rampant; while the Ancient Emperor Star Ziwei, possesses the oldest Great Emperor Lu Ya!
Exactly the same, they copied it all!
They don't shy away from it at all!
However, this also gave Keke Infinity inspiration.
One must open the path to immortality to achieve eternal life as an immortal!
But what she found first was the Void Immortal Gold Stele.
Not only was it suppressing the Beast of the End, but it also contained countless of its own corpses.
After she thoroughly studied the Void Immortal Gold Stele, another version of herself indeed appeared!
The source of the mystery.
Keke was not afraid at all and followed in her ancestors' footsteps.
The Void Immortal Gold Stele battles the Mirror Image!
She broke the cycle of reincarnation with her invincible power, crushing eternal calamity!
But Black Keke didn't care; she just gave a wry smile.
Another version of myself, yearning to save the world, has been through countless reincarnations, his expression one of utter despair.
He could only weakly say, "You'll regret this—"
However, [ Shion ] replied naturally, "I am a cultivator."
"Cultivators do not concern themselves with the past, nor do they seek the future! They walk the heavenly path, singing as they go, and with a flick of their fingers, Shrouding the Heavens the sky!"
She defeated her own darkness.
With immense perseverance and extraordinary abilities, they destroyed the Magical Kingdom and fought their way to the World Tree!
Until the mastermind behind it all appeared, all the Incubators stood in their way.
However, they did not go berserk; the Incubators seemed to be sighing over something.
Was this an unintentional act, or a deliberate plan?
Keke didn't understand, and she didn't intend to understand.
If you encounter any good magical girls, you should rescue them and become their friends.
When you encounter an enemy, just crush them all!
And the Incubators are the greatest enemies of magical girls!
"Deceiving yourself, fooling your loved ones, and fooling the world!"
"Absolutely unforgivable! But have you forgotten something, nameless fool?"
And when Keke was climbing the tree, looked back...
The New World was discovered to have been destroyed in a sea of fire.
"I never imagined you'd hide your second heart in the past. Is that why you dared to die and erase yourself?"
But when she gets here, her heart will inevitably be exposed, you fool. In the end, you will make a fatal mistake.
The Incubators murmured softly, gazing at the girl right before them.
History has inertia.
The process may deviate from the expected course, and the development may even differ significantly in some aspects.
However, on the World Tree, countless causal lines, recorded there, are intertwined.
Eventually, everything will be brought back on track.
Just as Keke replaced the nameless fool, because the nameless fool secretly hid his second heart in the past [ False History ], Keke received this heart from Lu Ya.
It was naturally placed among the past [ False History ].
But by closely monitoring Keke's past, this second heart has now been fully exposed to the Incubators!
Then, all the Incubators rushed in and merged into it!
"Losing your last heart, you will truly vanish. Never having existed in the first place—this is the price of erasing records, a death even miracles cannot overcome! Fool!"
All the Incubators devoured and invaded it until finally melting the heart completely, giving birth to another magical girl with their immense power!
A purple-clad magical girl exuding endless majesty.
Keke felt like she'd seen it somewhere before, but she couldn't quite place it.
Before Coco Keke a move, the previously quiet World Tree suddenly stirred and instantly devoured Keke!
The purple magical girl then descended into the New World below!
Kill the Seven True Disciples, destroy the world, and then fill all the souls into the Chongxu.
The world is gradually returning to normal.
After Keke broke free of the World Tree, her vision gradually became clearer.
It was as if she had traveled back in time, walking all the way back.
It's as if I've always been standing in the present, never leaving, only reminiscing about the past.
It was as if nothing had changed.
" Shion."
Someone is calling out this name.
Keke's expression turned slightly confused.
Overwritten by other people's records, experiences and memories have been altered, becoming incredibly chaotic.
Even the identity of myself is starting to become blurry.
A magical girl who destroyed the world and crushed everything emerged from the Emperor Burial Star.
That magical girl was created using the heart that Lu Ya gave to Keke.
She began by saying this.
"You are Shion."
"I am----"
Keke opened her mouth; the chaotic records began to disorient her.
She didn't know who she was, she didn't know what her name should be.
"I am—" she murmured, trying to repeat the other person's words, "Purple—"
The voice disappeared the next second.
Because an even bigger wave began to rise.
" Keke!"
" Keke!"
"Magical Girl Liuli!"
" Keke, keep it up!"
The surging shouts, the wholehearted cheers and support, erupted from the Chongxu!
All the chaotic records were corrected with these shouts.
Even though the purple record still exists.
Even though Shion's identity and past still entangle her.
But the one thing that will never disappear is the self that is recognized by everyone.
It will absolutely not be denied!
"I am Keke, I am the Magical Girl Liuli."
She repeated the phrase as she walked forward step by step.
The power of thirty million reincarnations blossomed within her magical attire.
That dazzling, universal white-gold color covered her entire body, never fading!
"A lotus blooms under the eternal blue sky."
She had read countless ancient books, she had emulated her ancestors, and she had conquered the heavens.
She chased after that person's figure, then ran her own path.
Little by little, the words and actions we are exposed to become habits.
Then, it slipped out.
" Magical Girl Emperor Liuli!"
Thirty million reincarnations, the miracles of all living beings transformed into a spear, which was grasped in the left hand wearing a white glove with gold trim.
It burst into flames!
The purple-clad magical girl, who was about to mock and approach Coco as a Keke, suddenly narrowed her eyes.
"Wait----"
Before he could finish speaking, the magic spear pierced through the purple magical girl in front of him, and then through the World Tree!
Let everything explode!
Even the heart was completely wiped out without a trace!
When Keke came to her senses, she just subconsciously touched her face.
Tears continued to flow.
But she had forgotten why she was crying.
It's like forgetting something, something extremely important, that I just can't remember no matter what.
Did something just appear?
When she looked up, all she could remember was a group of Incubators that had been blown apart.
The power of cause and effect even caused them to dissipate like flying sand, even after abandoning their former hearts.
A sense of fear of death permeated the cluster.
"How is this possible? The power created by the wishes and miracles of just a group of people can actually be on par with the Beast of the End? This is unreasonable!"
The scattered Incubators ' voices grew increasingly urgent.
Having abandoned emotional constraints, the Incubators, letting their emotions run rampant, are scattered everywhere.
The voice grew faster and more irritable!
"He couldn't possibly have foreseen this step—it was just a coincidence, absolutely, it could only be a coincidence!"
No matter how many times it is overwritten, modified, or contaminated.
There was only one name that everyone was calling out.
There is only one magical girl who has everyone's support and who offers their wishes and miracles.
There is absolutely no room for anyone else, or any other identity, to be involved!
This is the only existence observed among all life forms that have undergone thirty million reincarnations!
The Incubators formed a dense, impenetrable barrier before the World Tree, their collective consciousness screaming!
"What incredible luck, Shion! Just by luck, you've ruined tens of thousands of years of effort and preparation!"
"I already said that."
A longbow appeared in the hand of the platinum-gold magical girl. "It's Keke."
Despite bearing the identity and past of Shion, she still maintains her true self.
Stepping onto the Other Shore.
One certificate is valid forever.
The platinum-gold-haired girl drew a longbow larger than her entire body.
In a daze, his figure seemed to overlap with that purple figure.
But in the end, it was still a burning platinum sun.
The suffering of all living beings, and the hope to overcome suffering, are transformed on her bowstring into a brilliant light that illuminates the entire chaos and void!
Everything is being destroyed.
But a new world was rebuilt upon her arrows.
The records of purple and red intertwined, finally stabilizing and beginning to turn transparent.
The Incubators, filled with despair and restlessness, watched as the miracle of all living beings transformed into a great sun that devoured them, their voices gradually rising.
Finally, I abandoned all reason.
It reverts to its original status as a small animal, letting out a roar like a wild beast.
Why do something so meaningless?
"Death and destruction are the inevitable future; the laws of nature will never disappear."
Why are you so obsessed with destroying the World Tree?
"The world we painstakingly built, a more stable world where magical girls and humans live happily ever after! What reason did you have to destroy it?!"
Then, the Incubators saw Keke tilt her head slightly.
Her profile, turned to the side, subtly resembled that of the boy.
Perhaps it's just my imagination, or perhaps it isn't.
After all, they were family, connected by blood.
It's quite normal for people to look somewhat similar from certain angles.
But when Keke slightly curled the corners of her mouth, revealing a smile, and looked over...
It was as if that boy had truly been reborn, making the originally roaring Incubators...
Everyone fell silent.
But the aura before my eyes was definitely not it.
She maintained her independent individual consciousness, yet she also bore some of his influence.
It was as if the girl was constantly chasing that figure, and finally retracing the path she had walked before.
It was as if we were gradually merging with him.
"Of course, for everyone's future."
Speaking perfect, magical girl lines.
Then came another bright smile.
"And also, I hate the world you created, because one..."
He released his fingers from the bowstring, and the arrow gleamed.
The World Tree was unveiled amidst cheers from the crowd.
Destroy them all!
"Plagiarism Shrouding the Heavens."
