Chapter 580: Chapter 288: The Wind Never Blew, the Flowers Never Bloomed (3)

Back at the entrance of the secret realm, Jiang Yiyi thought this person looked familiar, but couldn’t recognize him.

The Exiled Immortal nodded to her upon seeing her, as if he truly recognized Yiyi.

Later, inside the secret realm, it was the same Exiled Immortal who led the group from the Cyan Lotus Daoist Palace to find the "Five-Colored Stone." Otherwise, they might not have found it before the realm closed.

After Chu Xuan left the secret realm, he discussed with Jiang Yiyi why this person suddenly decided to cut down the Ruo Wood.

Jiang Yiyi speculated seriously that this person secretly admired her and was chopping the wood to give it to her as a gift.

It was not until today that Jiang Yiyi understood the real reason.

This man’s name was [Jiang Wang], sent from the heavenly court to the mortal world as an "Inspection Envoy," tasked with finding the cause of the collapse of the human world. He measured the land with his own body, spending over a thousand years to find some faint possibilities.

Yes, prominent figures in the fairy world had already calculated this calamity in the human world over a thousand years ago, and thus began planning early, instead of hastily sending Jiang Yiyi to her death after the disaster erupted.

In short, because the prominent figures were certain in their plans, Jiang Yiyi was confident that the human world would overcome this calamity and was willing to sacrifice herself for it.

Jiang Yiyi indeed knew Jiang Wang from the celestial realm, but to be honest, they were not close and had spoken only a few times, and that was because their work intersected.

Even Yiyi did not expect that Jiang Wang would disregard everything to save her, even to the extent that it disrupted the plans of the prominent figures to some degree.

At this point in time, Jiang Wang should have returned to the heavenly court to report, rather than staying in the human world, not to mention suddenly going mad in the Ruo Wood Secret Realm.

He was supposed to be unaware of Jiang Yiyi’s mission on earth, yet somehow he received information from the heavens.

Upon learning of Jiang Yiyi’s "mission," Jiang Wang searched for alternative solutions constantly. Since there was only one Five-Colored Stone left in the human world, he intended to cut the Ruo Wood as her substitute.

However, the ancient candle dragon would not permit it, insisting on fighting Jiang Wang to the death, so he used it as a sacrifice.

Originally, Jiang Wang should not have made it in time because the candle dragon was extremely difficult to deal with and couldn’t be defeated in one go. Both sides had been entangled beyond the heavens for so many years, and he barely managed to capture it alive and hurried towards here.

Fortunately, Ji Mingyu arrived in time, had an argument with Jiang Yiyi, and forcibly held her back, allowing the "Inspection Envoy" to intervene in time.

In the end, both the celestial decree and the Five-Colored Stone were used, but the part where Jiang Yiyi was supposed to sacrifice of her own accord was supplemented by the unfortunate candle dragon.

However... Jiang Yiyi still felt worried and puzzled, wondering if this was truly the right course of action.

She was no match for Jiang Wang, so she could only watch as he used the candle dragon to replace her, disrupting the plans from above.

...

Meanwhile, on the western border at the Mountain of Wondrous Lotus of the Celestial Alliance, a war between the Celestial Alliance and the Profound Celestial Sect had already ceased.

Because Gu Haitang desperately tried to prevent the fight, both sides feared hurting her by mistake, and thus fought with restraint, resulting in fewer casualties than expected.

Until at a certain moment, Qingqing on the battlefield suddenly felt her heart break. Her face turned pale, and she murmured, "No, no..." 𝑓𝑟ℯℴ𝓂

On the other side, a sudden commotion erupted among the Shangguan family, after which Shangguan He solemnly withdrew his troops, no longer forcing an entanglement with the Celestial Alliance.

The news of Celestial Evil Demon Venerable and Profound Silence True Monarch’s deadly battle in the eastern border, where they fought to a barren land before both perished, was only widely spread three days later.

The various factions in the cultivation world felt deeply moved, knowing that this final outcome of mutual destruction befell these mortal enemies, questioning if it was time or fate.
