Chapter 990 - 437: The End of the Immortality Map (Part 3)

Now, one quarter of the Longevity White Mist resides within oneself, and with the Yunluo Immortal Seal as a reliance, how can one not fight?

It must be said, Shangguan Xiaoxiao's final scheme, although meant solely for her own escape, is indeed an irresistible open strategy.

Qin Zhong has no way out; he has obtained the Yunluo Immortal Seal and wields such an Immortal Artifact. Ultimately, Yunluo Immortal Venerable will surely kill him, erase his traces in the Yunluo Immortal Seal, he has no choice, and with the added Longevity White Mist, he will undoubtedly fight to the death.

Yunluo Immortal Venerable, for personal gain, will certainly hunt him down, temporarily sparing Shangguan Xiaoxiao.

...

Not long after.

Shangguan Xiaoxiao returned to the heavenly court.

The Purple Fairy and others had already arrived, fully prepared to utilize the heavenly court's defenses, yet they never awaited the cataclysmic waves of battle, Shangguan Xiaoxiao arrived gracefully, astonishing everyone.

"Shangguan Great Saint has returned?"

"Did she... win!?"

"Shangguan Great Saint emerged unscathed from Yunluo Immortal Venerable's hands!"

Immediately, everyone was excited, Yunxi, Ye Tiancan, Xiang Yuntian, and other Daluo Golden Immortals, as well as heads of major forces, all went up to her, with deep expectation.

"How is it?"

The Purple Fairy asked.

Shangguan Xiaoxiao said indifferently: "I escaped, didn't fight him."

Everyone: "...…"

Without letting anyone question, she continued: "The cards I hold can't harm Yunluo Immortal Venerable in the slightest; what scared him initially was that phantom, from the Era of Eternal Life's only Longevity Seeker."

"Now, the disguise has been seen through, he's already penetrated this illusion."

"I've given all the Longevity White Mist to Qin Zhong, he holds the Yunluo Immortal Seal, should be able to delay Yunluo Immortal Venerable for a while, the heavenly court can be disbanded."

"Even if Yunluo Immortal Venerable kills Qin Zhong, it would take a thousand years to re-establish the connection with the Yunluo Immortal Seal, a thousand years should be enough to arrange posthumous affairs."

Without concealment, she truthfully stated the situation, and for a moment, countless masters on the scene were astonished.

"So... it was like this?"

"Years of struggle, in truth, what sustained us for so long was merely a deception..."

"Well, it's not exactly a deception, to this day, Dao Sect has done their best, Shangguan Xiaoxiao has done her best, everyone has done their best..."

Suddenly learning the truth, everyone's hearts were immensely complicated, emotions shifting greatly, once wanting to fight to the death, once thinking there was a slim chance of hope, now realizing all is illusion.

No one can save this world.

Once that paper tiger is punctured, Yunluo Immortal Venerable will unify the world and offer the world, no one can stop it.

"An Li, this surely isn't another plan from you?"

"Right, friend, are there other arrangements, please don't hide them, we... are truly very anxious!"

"Is it a strategy of luring the enemy deeper?"

There are those unwilling to give up, always, Dao Sect, An Li, have devised many strategies, exhausted their strength, sustained the situation, already becoming the backbone in the eyes of the world.

Thus, even at this moment Shangguan Xiaoxiao has spoken the truth, some still refuse to believe.

But An Li also sighed deeply, he bowed to everyone and said: "There are no Immortal Venerables in the world, Yunluo emerges, none can oppose, we've all done our best."

"Fellow Daoists, An must also return to Dao Sect, prepare for the aftermath, offering of the world is only a matter of time, while now seeking other paths of survival, hopefully send off some seeds..."

An Li's face was already a shade of gray!

"So it's this..."

"Enough, enough!"

"This is the calamity of our lifetime, none can escape, Dao Sect exhausted their cultivation, postpone offering the world for thousands of years, it's already commendable!"

Many sighed, soon after someone left.

"Farewell, fellow Daoists!"

"To fight alongside you, this life is not in vain!"

"Yes, we've tried, without guilt, though death awaits! Fellow Daoists, when offering the world comes, let us reunite!"

"Thousands of years left, enough to fulfill all life's regrets... Long life has become void, the road ahead completely broken, but looking back, suddenly realizing this life was solely for seeking the Dao, neglecting so much, Mistress, I'm coming back for you!"

...

In the heavenly court, forces of various factions, upon learning the truth, dispersed entirely.

"So it's like this... Dao Sect, you've worked hard."

Ye Tiancan sighed, bearing no further blame or resentment, he said: "I have work to do too, should you need me, fellow Daoists, do communicate directly, Ye Tiancan will still arrive immediately!"

His figure turned into a ray of light and disappeared.

"Reflecting on this life, mostly like flies and dogs, scheming back and forth, claiming to be Immortals, but in reality probably not even living as richly as some mortals..."

Biyao Fairy smiled faintly and said: "In these final years, risking life and death, only now sensing a thread of true Immortality's essence, though it's a great calamity, though the path ahead is broken, yet to fight shoulder to shoulder with fellow Daoists is already precious."

"Whenever, Biyao will heed the heavenly court's call, follow Dao Sect's summons!"

She gave a calm bow, then left.

Celestial Monarch Zuo Feng, Celestial Monarch Shi Teng, Ye Cauldron and others also long sighed and left, leaving the grand heavenly court cold in an instant, only the Purple Fairy, Shangguan Xiaoxiao, Xiang Yuntian, An Li, and others remained.

"Palace Master Yun is still here?"

An Li asked Yunxi.

Yunxi smiled indifferently and said: "The world has regrets, yet only upon the arrival of doomsday do people recall what they need to cherish and make up for."

"I have no regrets in this life, even if there are some, it's already impossible to amend, let me stay here, and wait for death with you all."

An Li's eyes slightly moved, Yunxi's incredibly beautiful and clear gaze just happened to meet his, her eyes seemed to reflect all autumn water, said nothing, but An Li's heart involuntarily churned.

Could it be, Yunxi realized something?

"I also researched Li An."

She suddenly brought up the topic: "Actually back then, he and I had a marriage contract, haha..."

She laughed, An Li inexplicably feeling somewhat guilty...

Among the Daluo Golden Immortals, some are extremely intelligent, Yunxi clearly is.

Everyone has already despaired and left, but she... seems to believe there is an opportunity for survival, secretly brewing, growing amid time...

...

Goodnight.
