After reading it, Shen Lian was stunned and reached his hand for the leaf. The tree leaf turned to ash when it came in contact with his fingertip, it flew and disappeared along with the wind, just like Zhao Xiaoyu’s sudden disappearance.

It was that he would never be able to forget about this woman. Her cunning, her shrewdness, her decisiveness, and her unconcealed love.

He stayed in this mountain for a day and watched the bamboo leaves sway with the wind, the waterfalls grew smoke, and the gathering and dispersing of the clouds. He tried to calm his heart, but it had no effect.

He had always liked to be alone, but now he actually felt lonely. The taste of loneliness rose in his heart. Just like aged alcohol, he knew that alcohol was bad for body but could not help but drink and continue to drink.

Just like that, three days had passed. Shen Lian finally left and returned to Qing Xuan.

Chen Jinchan was greatly relieved at Shen Lian’s return. At least his honored master has returned, regardless of the outcome of his fight with Lu Jiuyuan.

Shen Lian said to Chen Jinchan, “Lu Jiuyuan has already reached an agreement with me. There was nothing to stop this Buddha Purnima ceremony.”

Chen Jinchan listened to his honored master’s casual statement, but he could imagine that because of the agreement, it was concerning that it has profoundly affected the souls of many. He knew to be considerate so as to not ask about the details. More so, he did not want to discuss who proved to be better, honored master or Lu Jiuyuan. After all, between Qing Xuan and Xuantian, it was better to have had no conflict. Otherwise, it will only benefit the Buddhist sects.

He said, “among the immortal zhenren that came this time, there was one special guest. Only I could not tell if honored master would let him come.”

Shen Lian listened to what he said, he thought for a moment and said, “You were talking about Daoist Dengfeng of Guangqing. It has been a millenium, what else could not be gotten over with? He could come should he wish to.”

Chen Jin was really impressed. His honored master knew even before he spoke. This ability, he did not know how long does he need to take in order to learn, he said, “yes.”

…

Zhao Xiaoyu had reached a mysterious time and space. Everything the day before was the best experience of her life, without a doubt. As a result, her Grand Technique of the True Void has finally come to a completion. She has completely surpassed the past dynasties’ predecessors of Luoism, catching up to the founder of Luo Order.

She indeed harboured true feelings towards Shen Lian, that was why she had painstakingly guarded a millenium in order to occupy a important position in Shen Lian’s heart. Otherwise, she would rather have not attained Dao.

Zhao Xiaoyu has indeed achieved this, but she understood that no matter how hard it was to leave this feeling, the time to leave has come. Because she did not want to become Shen Lian’s restraint, to forget was probably the best outcome for the both of them.

Moreover, she was now the true successor to the founder of Luo Order. The dangers that would come next would be far from what Shen Lian could deal with now. Therefore, it was even more important for Zhao Xiaoyu to not burden Shen Lian.

The founder of Luo Order was indeed the genius of Qing Xuan Earth and Star, even more powerful than Shen Lian. When he transcended beyond the mortal world, he was already in the State of Taiyi. After that, he went a step further and became almighty – a rare power in the entire universe, capable of attaining Buddhism and becoming a grandmaster. However, the founder of Luo made an enemy. It was a deity born since the beginning of the universe. Their battle ended with the loss of the founder of Luo, that body and spirit of the founder of Luo completely vanished. Even the real soul that had merged into the village of nothingness has been captured and annihilated.

Fortunately, the founder of Luo predicted his death several years in advance and secretly returned to the Qing Xuan Earth and Star, leaving a complete legacy. Zhao Xiaoyu was the one who inherited the complete succession, and learnt of many secrets. She had also finally completed the core of the inheritance – Grand Technique of the True Void, which left only one more step away from being able to enter the State of Taiyu.

However, once Taiyi was accomplished and the village of nothingness has been merged, because of the Grand Technique of the True Void’s leak in vital force, she would never be able to hide from the enemy of the founder of Luo.This resulted in an eventual extinguishment by that horrible existence.

The founder of Luo had expected this to happen, he had left a beacon of time and space. After Zhao Xiaoyu completed the Grand Technique of the True Void, it will guide her to the land of the Total Annihilation of the Dharma. The land was created by a certain individual of a Daoist Master level, who cut out a certain node from the River of Time, forming another space-time. It was also likely to be formed out of debris of the core of heaven. It was found by the founder of Luo by chance, and was sufficient enough in ensuring that Zhao Xiaoyu attained Taiyi there without alerting the enemy.

Furthermore, a day in that space equals to a year in the outside world, maybe after a few decades when she came out, Shen Lian would also be able to protect her already. As Zhao Xiaoyu thought of this, she could not help but smile.

Of course, this was just an unrealistic idea. Zhao Xiaoyu could not guarantee that when she comes out, Shen Lian would have become invincible in the unrestrained universe, becoming a figure like the Heavenly King.

Unless Zhao Xiaoyu remained in this place permanently. But once she steps out, being found by the deity was just a matter of time. According to his temperament in taking away the spleen of the roots, if she was with Shen Lian, Shen Lian would not be able to escape as well. She has inherited the legacy of the founder of Luo, naturally, she would have to accept the karma of the founder of Luo. Compared to burdening Shen Lian, she would rather take responsibility of everything herself.

Fortunately, her Apprentice-Sister’s Sutra of Total Annihilation of the Dharma gave her a slim possibility in the chance of defeating the deity. In front of it was a cerulean-colored planet, not far away there was a much smaller planet, its appearance riddled with potholes and craters, it was exactly the moon of the current planet.

She felt that her primordial spirit and mana were decaying at a speed beyond imagination. That place was indeed a land of the Total Annihilation of the Dharma.

Zhao Xiaoyu soon arrived to a planet with many towering buildings about a few dozen feet high in its surrounding. Relying on the Sutra of Total Annihilation of the Dharma, she managed to retain a part of her mana. It would be considered as her safeguard against that mysterious space-time.

Coming towards her were many iron boxes, big and small. Zhao Xiaoyu walked in the gap between the torrents of steel in a graceful manner, attracting the attention of many passers-by.

After a while, she learned the language of the place, and it was not much different from her original planet.

She also learnt that by walking in the gap between the torrents of steel would violate common sense; thus, she went to the roadside. The people in this world were interesting, although she was a deity, the majority of people merely shot a few glance before they hurriedly left as if they were busy.

The building opposite used a spell that resembled a wall of floating lights, constantly flashing some very clear picture. This indicated that this world has its unusual aspect.

A shop beside it rang a song:

Had it been meeting you, where would I be?

How would my days be like, whether life should be cherished

Might get to know someone, living an ordinary life

Don’t know will have love as sweet as honey or not

Let time pass hurriedly, I care only for you

Willingly contract your breath

How often in life will one find their confidant

Losing the power in life also not a pity

Zhao Xiaoyu heard the song and was touched. Emotions were not differentiated according to one’s mortality. The lyrics were similar to the emotion she has towards Shen Lian. Therefore, she stood aside silently listening.

No matter where she was or how the future would be, she wanted to finish listening to this song.

Before Zhao Xiaoyu finished listening to the song, someone leaped beside her, holding a square piece of paper and asked, “Beauty, I am a talent scout, would you be interested in becoming a huge star?”
