A Sudden Glance Back, a Figure Like an Immortal!
Cultivation is inherently a game of crossing a single-plank bridge amidst a thousand troops; no one can remain at the peak forever, only immortality...
Only by possessing Eternity can one establish oneself and look down upon all living beings!
However, immortals, though they may not die, are not indestructible.
Once everyone's interests are aligned, the fate of True Lord Qingyou is sealed—his demise is inevitable, requiring no intervention from Qin Lu and the others...
His Dao heart was already unstable, and he was further weakened by excessive exertion and injuries.
Ye Wuxu and True Lord Tianfeng joined forces and, in no time at all, completely obliterated True Lord Qingyou. To be more precise...
Even True Lord Qingyou himself had given up the chance to live.
Willingly allowed to be obliterated by two powerful figures!
He knew that the ending was predetermined, that everything was over, and that the glory of the Daoqing Empire would end on the day Venerable Daoqing fell...
And that was the end of it!
Since defeat was inevitable, then accepting fate was the final liberation for True Lord Qingyou. The words "accepting fate" seemed so light and airy...
Yet it reveals the deepest helplessness in the world!
Accept your fate, accept your destiny; all fortunes ultimately return to the Shenji Heavenly Fate...
"You two..."
"We'll never meet again..."
The final, long sigh was True Lord Qingyou's last farewell; regret was the keynote of his life, seemingly from the very beginning of his cultivation...
Regret permeated his entire life!
Perhaps his pursuit was itself a regret...
The regrets in the cultivation world are countless and inexhaustible; going against one's true nature, defying the rules, and rebelling against fate lead to lifelong regret...
With the passing of the True Lord Qingyou.
The conflict came to an end; everyone was tired and weary, and had no desire to continue fighting...
Therefore--
The two groups exchanged a few casual words before dispersing to search for treasure...
Only Qin Lu remained in place, silently meditating and adjusting his breathing. He had gained all the fortuitous opportunity he had on this trip, and he had no regrets...
today--
Qin Lu's horizons were broadened considerably. Even a peerless genius like Nascent Soul True Lord could perish at any moment, as long as they remained immortal...
The fragility of life is vividly demonstrated at this moment!
I was filled with many emotions.
The Historical Record Book slowly emerged, then grew larger, unfolding layer by layer into a scroll painting...
Twelve immortals soared through the sky and vanished into the earth, unleashing countless wondrous techniques. Qin Lu watched this scene, his eyes gradually becoming misty...
In his youth, he had heard storytellers recount extraordinary tales of immortals and gods!
I admired him from a young age, and the memory remains vivid to this day...
Now, his silhouette, turned to the side, seems to overlap with the immortals and gods in the painting...
It's like joining the ranks of the immortals!
Qin Lu smiled, seemingly relieved, yet also utterly empty, having become the very being he once looked up to...
And now--
He has become history, perhaps to be recounted by word of mouth in later generations. How will history books evaluate him? As a person who went mad with delusion...?
Or perhaps it is: True Lord Diyou!
Qin Lu neither knew nor wanted to know; right and wrong were in his own heart, and what happened after his death was left for posterity to judge...
The twelve immortals entered the Mieyang Immortal Palace, four of them perished, and the entire Daoqing Lineage was wiped out...
No explanation is needed; hatred is self-evident.
"Ding-dong~ Ding-dong~"
The ancient and profound tones of the chime bells, ethereal yet weighty, mirrored Qin Lu's current state of mind. The echoing bells seemed to herald the beginning of a new chapter in history...
When the last, melodious chime fell silent.
When Qin Lu opened his eyes again, he had already been teleported out of the Mieyang Immortal Palace and was sitting on a mountaintop, clearly his time had come...
"Are they out yet...?"
"This trip truly felt like an eternity; although it only took three months, it felt like over thirty years had passed..."
Qin Lu sighed softly. He had experienced so much on this journey that he couldn't absorb it all at once. In three months, he had killed four Nascent Soul...
This upheaval is enough to change the entire landscape of the Northern Nether Domain!
No wonder fortune tellers always use the analogy of a person's weight to describe how some people, despite their entire lives, are nothing more than a speck of dust...
But some people, with a single wrong thought, can turn the world upside down!
perhaps--
At this moment, Qin Lu is an uncertain factor influencing the world, and this is fate, destiny in the the Unseen...
Where Heavenly Fate dictates, fortune and misfortune are intertwined.
Unpredictable, unfathomable.
But Qin Lu never believed in any of that; he only believed that human will could overcome fate...
Before they could think much of it, Gu Xuanzhen and the other two found Qin Lu. The four of them were reunited, but without much conversation, they each went home...
It's obvious--
Everyone got the fortuitous opportunity they wanted...
Perhaps it won't be long before Gu Xuanzhen breaks through to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, and Ye Wuxu breaks through to the Nascent Soul Late Stage Spirit Transformation stage...
A new round of team battles will soon begin!
In contrast Daoqing Lineage, since this trip to the Mieyang Immortal Palace, has completely withdrawn from the game, and the name of the Daoqing Empire...
It will all pass away eventually!
Without the True Lord Qingyou, and with the fall of another Nascent Soul True Lord, the Daoqing Empire now only has two Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivators left...
The Spirit Transformation Ancient Kingdom, which had always followed the Daoqing Empire, fell after the death of the True Lord Hualing.
Only one heir remained in the country!
The Daoqing Lineage declined completely from that point onward, and with it came...
Despite the division among various forces, True Lord Tianfeng and the others did not push each other to the brink of ruin, as long as the Daoqing Lineage voluntarily abdicated...
If we share the resources, then everyone can be a civilized person sitting at the table!
The days that followed--
Qin Lu stayed in the Central Lands for several years, obtaining a large number of land spirits from the Daoqing Lineage. Later, these resources...
Qin Lu was assigned to the advance team.
Qin Xinzhou, Qin Xinyang, and Qin Xinzhi are all key figures in Qin Lu's training program, and he has even gone so far as to use several Fourth-Tier spiritual items to train them...
We help them in their spiritual practice and often offer them guidance!
Over the years, the three of them benefited greatly, and their cultivation levels all broke through to a minor realm...
The land they later acquired was large enough for several Core Formation True Person cultivators to establish their own kingdoms, so they entrusted it all to Qin Xinzhou and the other two to manage jointly...
Here, a forward outpost was established for the Great Qin.
As for cannon fodder like the Han Alliance and the Song Alliance, Qin Lu intentionally or unintentionally allocated some resources to them, followed by another round of reprimands...
Now that the Gu Seng of the Western Desert has passed away, the group is likely leaderless!
Qin Lu's intention was to strengthen his vanguard cannon fodder regiment, and then slowly plot to seize the Western Desert, which the Central Lands Western Desert had no interest in...
For the Great Qin, that mattered much more!
If Buddha can subdue demons, then why can't demons devour Buddhas to increase their cultivation? All things in the universe are interconnected and mutually restraining; perhaps this is yet another opportunity...
