Chapter 428: World Disillusionment

The war between the Heavenly Court and the Weird finally subsided.

It ended with the destruction of the Ninth and Tenth Heavenly Realms, and the demise of seventeen Daluo Jinxians.

The sudden stop of the war made many forces on the Weird side feel extremely confused, not knowing what happened, because suddenly no one forced them to attack, and no one even cared about where they should go, and Yunluo Palace did not explain to the world.

Finally, many Weird forces inquired around and got some news from the Heavenly Court.

"Shangguan Xiaoxiao's trump card is nothing but a tiger's skin. She can't fight against Yunluo Immortal Venerable. Now, Yunluo Immortal Venerable has seen through her plan. There is no point in fighting..."

"So many people died, even the Golden Immortals of Daluo fell one after another. In the end, it was just a test for the top... So that's it!"

"We fought hard at the beginning, not to take back our homeland at all..."

Many lower-level cultivators felt disillusioned. When the war just started, Yunluo Palace and the upper level made all kinds of promises and propaganda to them, saying that it was for the righteousness of the Weird Domain and to create a better future. Most of the lower level probably still believed it.

There have always been "rumors" coming from the Heavenly Court that Yunluo Immortal Venerable will sacrifice the world and everyone will die, but due to the opposition between the two sides and the iron-fisted rule of Yunluo Palace, the lower level simply does not believe it and regards the Heavenly Court as a demon and enemy.

But now, even Yunluo Palace no longer cares about it. Without control, under the vicissitudes of life, when everything becomes a foregone conclusion, the lower level has the opportunity to understand the truth.

It's a pity that everything is too late.

"It is said that Qin Zhong, a disciple of Yunluo Immortal Venerable, rebelled and held the Yunluo Immortal Seal, and Haier obtained all the immortal white mist of Changqing Immortal Venerable. I don't know what the final outcome will be..."

"It's none of our business. Go home now!"

"All the high-sounding words are just tricks to drive people's hearts!"

After the war, everyone retired and returned to the fields. The cultivators returned to the originally empty famous mountain source.

"From today on, all disciples, each of you will receive a resource and go down the mountain!"

In a strange way, on an ancient and legendary famous mountain, an old sect master summoned all the disciples in the sect and began to disperse.

"Inheritance is meaningless. All the strengthening, hatred, and resource competition... are in vain. It won't be long before all the immortal white mists are obtained and sacrificed. Take advantage of now to do what you want to do!"

The old sect master was very open-minded. After learning the outcome of everything, he was silent for a long time and made this decision. Countless disciples were shocked. Faced with such a huge change, many people could not accept it for a while, but eventually they all went down the mountain in a sigh.

"Taishang, where are you going..."

In the seventh heaven of the heaven, in a holy land, an old man walked out of the retreat, abandoned the sect and left.

"The universe will end, the world will end, before the years are completely destroyed, I still have a wish. From now on, you can remove my name in the holy land."

The answer of the old Taishang made everyone in the holy land silent. The old Taishang had made indelible contributions to the development of the holy land, and there was the possibility of further breakthroughs, but now he gave up retreat.

"In the early years, for immortality, I gave up too much and let down too much... Now, let's make up for the shortcomings!"

The figure of the old Taishang disappeared between heaven and earth.

"Are you two really going to quit the sect?"

In a small sect, the elder looked at a young man and woman in confusion. These two people have good qualifications and may become immortals in the future!

"The road to becoming an immortal is long, and immortality is even more empty talk. This road is full of thorns. The two of us can only live today!" The male cultivator smiled slightly and said, "You will die after becoming an immortal. Why not live a happier life now!" The female cultivator held his hand and the two turned to go down the mountain. The elder subconsciously stretched out his hand to stop him, but in the end he just sighed. There seemed to be a flash of regret and envy in his old eyes. "You are right, young man. In fact, whether there is an immortal disaster or not, most people's lives are the same. Exhausting their minds and desperately scheming are just adding troubles. But why can everyone let go of a clear disaster, but can't see through it before the end of the world?" He whispered, turned around and left without saying goodbye. ... Similar things are happening all the time. No matter how reluctant or unbelieving you are, you will eventually be convinced by the iron facts. Time will pass, and Yunluo Immortal Venerable will definitely get all the immortal white mist in the end. His immortality will inevitably bring about the withering and destruction of everything in the world.

People are so strange. Perhaps many people's lifelong cultivation and struggle may only be to become immortals. At the end of their lives, the world may not be destroyed. It should not affect their struggle in this life, but when they know that everything will disappear thousands of years later, most people will let it go.

Life should be enjoyed to the fullest, and don't let the golden cup face the moon in vain.

For a time, many unprecedented strange stories appeared in the world of immortal cultivation.

In an ancient famous mountain, the old mountain owner was like crazy, summoning male and female cultivators from all over the world to hold an unprecedented grand carnival. It was no longer double cultivation, but group cultivation. The high-ranking immortals became ordinary people who indulged in debauchery.

In a small village, a Taiyi Jinxian-level figure actually found a small barren hill here, and then married the dead bones in the barren hill. A few days later, the old Taiyi Jinxian passed away.

In a huge heavenly palace, one day, endless cultivation resources and techniques were scattered in the world. The once extremely secret and precious cultivation methods were thrown around like free waste paper, but few people picked them up.

"Why bother to practice hard? The end has already been written. It's better to enjoy today and get drunk!"

"Now I know that this road to immortality is actually a group of pitiful people, hahahaha... In order to become immortals and live forever, they have turned their childhood dreams, youthful feelings, and the loves of this life into bubbles. How absurd, how absurd!"

"Suddenly I heard that the death calamity was coming, and I believed that I had used the wrong heart before... On the road to immortality, there are only ruthless bones and cold-blooded corpses. Looking back, they are all crying, hahahaha..."

This is a great world where dreams are shattered, this is a world where the secular world becomes happy. Immortals seek the mortal world, transcend into the fire of karma, and extinguish the illusory desires on the road to immortality, leaving only a ground of broken and withered real ashes in the end.

There are also forces that are still persisting and working hard, trying to open up some pure land, hoping to avoid the disaster of the sacrifice and let the inheritance continue. They are looking everywhere, some go to the lower world, and some go far to the vast void boundary outside the thirty-three layers of heaven.

Confusion, depravity, freedom, exploration.

Finally, many forces really think they have found the pure land and secretly send away many seed-level figures.

…

Yunluozhou.

In the mountains and forests, Gu Xuening was wearing a plain skirt. She found a pool in this mountain range and caught two crocodiles that were making love.

She was also curious about why Li An always liked to eat crocodile meat. The texture of this meat was quite rough and not a very good food. Li An told her that he was abused by crocodiles when he was promoted to diamond, which led to his loss, so he liked to eat crocodiles in a rage.

Asked him where he was abused by crocodiles, he said the canyon, which made Gu Xuening laugh non-stop. Who would have thought that the Daluo Jinxian was bullied by crocodiles?

As a result, she followed Li An and began to like eating crocodile meat. Every time the crocodile breeding season came, she would specifically look for crocodiles to roast and eat. She also practiced very good cooking skills.

In front of the cave, the crocodile was roasted golden and crispy, sprinkled with cumin, chili and other condiments, and the fragrance spread everywhere.

"It smells so good. Your cooking skills have improved again."

Li An's voice sounded, and he came out of retreat again.

"How is it? After retreating for so long, have you gained anything else?"

Gu Xue Ning smiled.

Li An had already walked over and put his arms around her. She couldn't help but lower her head, blushing, and said, "How about eating the crocodile first? It will be roasted later."

"If it's burnt, we can catch it again."

Li An smiled, and Gu Xue Ning had no choice but to do nothing. This has become a routine. Every time Li An came out of retreat, he would look for her first, which made her sigh.

After becoming an immortal, her instinct driven by her body could be well controlled, but Li An was in seclusion for a period of time, like a starving ghost, which made her unable to resist.

But she also found that after each time, she would have a strange feeling in her body, as if her life seed had increased a lot. Although she hardly practiced anymore, her cultivation was improving day by day, and it was almost full.

She was almost a Taiyi Jinxian.

She realized that Li An was not just venting his desire, but was also helping her, and she was very moved by this.

"Xue Lang, when are we leaving?"

After eating crocodile meat, she lay in Li An's arms, looking at the starry sky, and said: "I want to take you to see where I grew up when I was a child. At that time, my family was poor and I liked flowers. Every time I went to the market, I liked to follow those noble ladies and look at the flowers they wore on their heads. Later, my father planted a lot of rapeseed in my vegetable garden. When spring comes, the rapeseed blooms, and butterflies and bees all come. It's so beautiful. When the wind blows, it's even more beautiful..."

"Xue Lang, what about you? Is there any place you particularly want to see?"

Li An's Many images flashed through his mind, most of which were from this life, including rebirth, entering Xuanyang Sect, struggling to survive in Xuanyang Sect's Lingzhi Mountain, working hard in Qingyang Market, living in seclusion in Cuiyue Valley, practicing in Baihu City...

Later, Tiansha Mountains, Dao Sect's Spirit Realm, and then the Thirty-Three Heavens...

He only now realized that the clearest memory he could remember in his life was the time when he was the weakest. Since he entered the Thirty-Three Heavens, he had experienced struggles and calculations. Because he was too far away from the mundane world, his memories were a little distorted.

Perhaps he should go back and take a look.

As soon as this thought came to his mind, he hesitated for a moment and said, "In fact, before entering Qingyuan Mountain, I had another identity."

Gu Xue Ning was very calm and smiled, "I know."

"I also know that you want to leave me now, right?"

She looked at Li An with clear eyes, tender but without a trace of blame, and said, "The immortal road is broken. People in the world are trying to live a good life and make up for the shortcomings without asking about the afterlife. Although I don't know why you have been practicing hard, I think you must have an extremely unforgettable past and regrets in your heart."

"Go, Xue Lang, I will wait for you."

"Come back to me after you finish what you want to do, okay? I'll wait for you at home, in the vegetable field full of rapeseed flowers, waiting for you to come and watch the rapeseed flowers with me."

She reached out and gently stroked Li An's face.

Li An's heart moved slightly. In his heart, he approached Gu Xue Ning just to use her. He even helped her to seize the immortal white mist and later saved her in the strange war, all for his own purpose.

But now, he did feel guilty and worried.

"Is this the inner demon?"

He couldn't help but laugh at himself. Gu Hong was so good to him back then, but he never gave Gu Hong such feelings in his heart, perhaps because of fear or weakness.

It was not until Gu Hong died that everything hidden finally dared to turn into hatred.

"If you encounter any danger, don't be stubborn, just survive, just survive."

He spoke softly and kissed Gu Xue Ning's forehead.

"I will find you."

Li An got up and left.

The world was in chaos and people's hearts were up and down. Before Yunluo Immortal Venerable sacrificed himself, he really wanted to go to Dao Sect and see his old friends.

Gu Xue Ning watched him leave until his figure left, then whispered: "I will wait for you, forever."

...

Leaving Yunluozhou, Li An was not in a hurry to travel. He was observing along the way, and the changes in the world's cultivators made him feel something.

Men and women who were greedy for pleasure, mortals who only wanted the present, geniuses who gave up the road, strong men who retired to the market... He saw too much.

It is even hard to tell whether it is a chaotic or prosperous world now, and whether it is real or an illusion.

For the common people, perhaps the cultivation and immortality in the past were just a dream, and now it is considered to be back to normal?

Li An didn't know.

He walked silently through the world.

...

Not long after.

Li An crossed the tenth and ninth heavens and entered the seventh heaven.

The situation in the heaven is similar to the weird. When hope is lost, the choice of the world is the same: live well in the present.

However, unlike the doomsday carnival in the strange domain, the heaven still maintains basic order, so things that break the bottom line and principles have not happened on a large scale.

After a little inquiry, Li An learned that Li Nianxue guarded a fairy city in the seventh heaven.

Entering the fairy city, passing through the bustling crowd, he stopped in front of the magnificent and solemn city lord's mansion. He stepped forward, and two guards stopped him and said, "Who are you? What's the matter? The city lord is in seclusion and practicing. If there is no important matter, you must not disturb him."

Li An smiled slightly and said, "Please report it, just say that an old friend from Dongshan is visiting."

Before that, he and Li Nianxue had exchanged letters on Dongshan in a fairy city in the tenth heaven. When he said this, Li Nianxue naturally knew it.

The guard did not refuse and immediately entered the mansion. Not long after, a woman had hurried over. She saw Li An standing outside the mansion, exhausted, and was extremely excited for a while!

...
