Chapter 540 The End
Taking advantage of everyone's distraction, Yao Chi leaped up and flew towards the figure in the clouds.
The faint light from the clouds and the clear, sweet rain seemed to penetrate Yun Yici's body.
Yao Chi's eyelids twitched, and she hurriedly said to Lang Huan below, "Sect Leader Yun was originally an incarnation of divine consciousness invited to the Lotus Pond. He must return to his original body as soon as possible."
"I'll send her back to her physical body first."
Shocked by this, and seeing the red lotus and jade both destroyed, the grand lotus pond gathering ended in a double loss, leaving everyone feeling bitter.
However, Honglian volunteered to take the lightning for Yun Yici, it wasn't Yun Yici who forced Honglian to take the lightning for him, so even if they were upset, they couldn't do anything to Yun Yici.
Everyone knew perfectly well that the bigger reason was that Yun Yici had successfully overcome her tribulation.
Those who are less than three hundred years old and in the Mahayana stage have a much greater chance of ascending to immortality than these old folks.
Rather than making enemies and then coming back to humiliate them when they ascend to immortality, it's better to swallow your anger and make friends properly.
Both the blue lotus and the red lotus are gone. Just as Langhuan said, all the fighting and strife has come to nothing.
When Qu Jianrou saw that her master was about to leave with Yun Yici, she subconsciously tugged at her junior brother, signaling him to hurry up and follow.
Before she knew it, she had just turned her eyes in one direction when she saw two glowing spirits in her line of sight.
Qu Jianrou blinked, but the spirit creature had already flown out of the desolate lotus pond.
Now everyone could see them; they were two bright green lotus seeds, glistening with light!
"These are the lotus seeds that the Green Lotus planted before!"
The disheartened cultivators suddenly became excited again: "We were so focused on Qinglian and Qinglian that no one noticed those two lotus seeds."
"With these two lotus seeds, we might be able to grow two green lotus plants, and the restoration of the lotus pond will be just around the corner."
The joy of the practitioners was palpable.
Now no one is arguing anymore. Originally, they organized this Lotus Pond Festival just to steal lotus seeds.
It is now obvious that these last two precious lotus seeds must be planted carefully.
The cultivators exchanged glances, then looked at Langhuan.
Langhuan shook her head and said, "Thanks to Fellow Daoist Yun, I seem to have gained some insight. I have cultivated in the Lotus Pond for a thousand years, unaware of sect affairs or worldly affairs."
"I'm leaving."
She no longer wanted to cling to that illusory hope by the lotus pond.
She once walked to the lotus pond on her own two feet, and then she never left the lotus pond again.
Now, it's time to leave.
She no longer considers herself an immortal who looks down on the mortal world, but returns to her childhood and experiences the path she once walked like an ordinary person.
Upon reflection, Langhuan's previously stagnant state of mind began to soften.
She looked at Yun Yici gratefully, only to find that there was no one left in the clouds, not even her senior brother and sister Qu Jianrou.
It turned out that Yao Chi rolled her eyes when she saw that they had taken two more green lotus seeds, and then she ran away with Yun Yici and her two disciples.
Yun Yici breathed a sigh of relief after being safely carried away from the lotus pond by Yao Chi.
In fact, as soon as she left the lotus pond, her consciousness automatically returned to her body, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Emperor Zhao and the others with concerned expressions.
It turned out that Gan Lin also descended along with her.
Upon seeing this, Shen Huaichuan moved her out of the house.
With the help of the descending rain, her consciousness and physical body frantically absorbed the rain and accelerated their fusion.
After this ordeal, her spiritual consciousness became much stronger, and her physical body gained many benefits.
She also brought out the roots of the green lotus and the last lotus seeds of the red lotus.
I thought of the scene when she and Yao Chi left together.
As Yun Yici closed her eyes to absorb the sweet rain and stabilize her cultivation, she didn't forget to ask Qinglian, "Are those last two lotus seeds alright now that they've fallen into their hands?"
The reply came from a sneering female voice: "Hmph, they could grow it for a thousand or ten thousand years and still not succeed."
"If they insist on remaining stubbornly ignorant, then let them wait in vain with their hopes unfulfilled."
Yun Yici pondered for a moment, then sighed inwardly at the cycle of cause and effect, and the inevitable retribution.
People should be less attached to external things, otherwise it will backfire, and they will think they are taking a shortcut but actually take a detour.
Yun Yici remained in meditation until the rain and clouds dispersed before opening her eyes.
Upon entering the Mahayana path, she felt her body and consciousness rise to a new level.
If she were to unleash her divine sense now, she could easily cover the entire Qian Yuan Sect; even the slightest movement within the sect would not escape her notice.
Needless to say, Yun Yici felt that he could withstand the demonic body of a fully grown Nine-Headed Serpent.
That's right, it's like a brutal, hand-to-hand combat style.
After feeling the abundant power within herself, Yun Yici heard Ning Tinglan and the other two congratulate her, saying, "Congratulations on your great progress in cultivation, Junior Sister."
The emperor shoved closer, saying with a sense of honor, "I want to ascend to heaven with Xiao Ci."
He then recalled the blackened phoenix hairpin he had seen through the mirror, and thought to himself that now that his cultivation was even greater than before, he might as well take the best-looking tail feather and forge an even better hairpin.
As for how ugly it would look without a single tail hair, the imperial edict selectively ignored this.
Yun Yici smiled and said, "Thank you, three senior brothers."
"Thank you very much, fellow Daoist Emperor Zhao."
Rong Xuan said embarrassedly, "I didn't expect Junior Sister to break through her tribulation at this time, and I don't have any congratulatory gift to offer."
This is a Mahayana eon.
Ning Tinglan and Mu Yunjian were also somewhat embarrassed.
As Rong Xuan said, they had things on them, but they took them out hastily and without any care, so they didn't seem to cherish them enough.
Yun Yici quickly said, "I lack nothing right now, so my fellow disciples don't need to worry about these things."
"I think that sending things back and forth would only be troublesome, and we have things to do right now, so why bother with so many formalities?"
Shen Huaichuan stood silently to the side. Yun Yici originally wanted to give him the stolen key, but she held back because they were on someone else's turf.
The thought flashed through his mind, and just then, Yao Chi, who had seen Gan Lin disappear, arrived with the sect leader.
Sect Leader Zhang smiled broadly. This time, Yun Yici successfully transcended his tribulation. Not only was the Qian Yuan Sect spared from being struck by lightning, but the sect also benefited from the blessings of a Mahayana cultivator.
"Congratulations, Senior Yun, on successfully overcoming your tribulation!"
Sect Leader Zhang is much older than Yun Yici, yet he willingly addresses her as "senior."
Yao Chi said, "Stop talking nonsense."
"From now on, Fellow Daoist Yun and I will be on equal footing. Our sect has also benefited from your kindness, so we should offer you a congratulatory gift."
She took out a storage bag from her sleeve and handed it to Yun Yici, who accepted it without even looking at it closely.
She readily accepted it, and Yao Chi laughed, "Lang Huan just sent me a message saying she's quitting."
"She has already set off to kill Ying Xuewu and investigate whether there are any demon spies in the human realm."
Yao Chi and Lang Huan have been friends for many years and still trust each other.
Of course, the time she was wrongly accused before doesn't count.
"besides."
Yao Chi said solemnly, "Although we have signed a contract with the Demon Clan, we know that this is not a long-term solution."
"We will have to fight the demons sooner or later. Thank you for buying us time."
Yun Yici nodded. In the past, people who built the top floor only cared about dreaming of ascending to heaven in the lotus pond, and didn't care about life and death in the lower world.
The cultivators below felt powerless to resist the demons, so they thought of escaping the Earth Spirit Realm. They were even satisfied with signing a peaceful coexistence pact with the demon realm.
Now that we have a leader with a strong will, we must do our best to develop and strengthen ourselves, so that when the demons make a comeback, we can avenge our previous defeat and regain our right to speak.
Yun Yici understood, but did not intend to interfere too much.
She said, "Since that's the case, I have important matters to attend to, so I won't stay any longer."
Next, I need to find that cultivation technique for both immortals and demons.
