Sheng Fu

Chapter 1307 has arrived.
The Qingming Great River still surges with its currents.

Yuwen Jun strolled along the riverbank, revisiting familiar places, and recalled how he had searched for the Mountain of Bright Souls at all costs in order to rescue Gu Yong.

He was just a young boy back then.

Now he is a young man.

Youth fades quickly, and loved ones are no longer here.

As we walked, we came to the depths of the water.

The enormous Tengshe radiated holy light, illuminating all directions. Upon seeing Yuwen Jun, it lowered its proud head in respect.

Yuwen Jun slightly raised his hand, and Tengshe immediately felt a warm current spread throughout his body. Invisibly, his cultivation level rose to a higher level. Gratitude welled up in Tengshe's eyes for Yuwen Jun's action, and he sincerely said, "Thank you for your support, Your Highness."

Yuwen Jun smiled gently and said, "You flatter me. Thank you for your and Senior Guichen's support."

Looking back on the past, Yuwen Jun felt deeply fortunate.

At first, Yuwen Jun thought he had subdued the Bright Soul Mountain with the power of origin, but after entering the Half-Step Myriad Ends realm, he suddenly realized the truth.

If it weren't for Senior Guichen's secret intervention, even with the combined support of five Origin Chips, I wouldn't have been able to subdue Minghun Mountain based on my cultivation level at the time.

That wisp of myriad aura at that time did not originate from the Origin Chip, but from Senior Guichen.

I wondered what I had done to deserve such immense kindness in the unseen world.

I have indeed done many good deeds, but the merit I accumulated back then was as insignificant as a flickering flame.

Gui Chen truly thinks highly of Yuwen Jun...

Thinking of this, Yuwen Jun bowed deeply to the sacred world behind Tengshe, his eyes filled with utmost piety, and earnestly asked, "With the senior's all-out assistance, I am fortunate to have reached countless realms."

"However, I have some questions and have come here to seek your guidance, senior."

From that sacred place came a beautiful and clear female voice: "Speak freely."

Yuwen Jun slowly raised his head, his hands still in a bowing posture, and said, "From your perspective, senior, is there any army under 'Tai' that is hiding in the world?"

Whether it's a battle that rages across the heavens or war raging in various parts of the world, each will have its own difficulties.

Yuwen Jun thought that this battle should not harm any living beings in the world.

However, no matter how much he thought about it, he still couldn't figure out what Tai was planning. It would be best if he could get some inspiration from Senior Guichen.

Returning to dust is living history.

"I don't know either; this matter cannot be calculated or predicted."

"But I tend to think that the Spring Equinox Battle will take place in deep space."

"Because I am here, I naturally have the ability to protect all living beings, and 'Tai' also knows that I am still alive."

Yuwen Jun felt as if he had been enlightened, and his eyes showed surprise and delight.

"In this battle, the three of you may seem to share the same stance, but in reality, you are not. If you are defeated, I will also be unable to protect all living beings in this world." Gui Chen's clear and ethereal voice entered my ears and heart.

Yuwen Jun's heart was slightly rippled...

The fact that the three are not of one mind is the greatest strategic advantage for "Tai", but also the biggest variable that is out in the open, and this variable is something that cannot be changed.

To repel external threats, one must first secure internal stability, but it is clear that internal stability is impossible.

Unbeknownst to them, "Tai" had grasped all the strategic advantages.

Thinking this, Yuwen Jun remained steadfast, bowing deeply and saying, "Thank you for your answers, senior. My heart is invincible; I will not be defeated. Senior, I await your good news here." ...

Deep in the forest, the snow stretched endlessly.

The Demon Lord walked at a moderate pace, leaving a long trail of footprints on the ground.

A person walks alone in a deserted forest, where all is quiet. Occasionally, they encounter wild boars, deer, and fish in a cold pool. Covered in dust, they unknowingly vanish into nothingness.

As a young boy, the Demon Lord enjoyed exploring the underworld.

He had no mount or guards; he was all alone.

Sometimes we march forward against the wind and snow, sometimes against the moisture and mist, sometimes against the spring sunshine, and sometimes against the noisy chirping of insects.

When the mood strikes, they gather materials from the mountains and fields to make bows and crossbows, hunt prey, and cook outdoors. They don't need to share their joys and sorrows with others, nor do they need to care about their demeanor.

Perhaps back then I thought life was a journey, but now I realize that life is just life, and too many people have given it a vague and unrealistic imagination.

Perhaps it's because I'm cautious enough when I'm alone, or perhaps it's just my nature.

The Demon Lord's youthful spirit and ambition have never been tainted by anything. He seems to have experienced countless dangers along the way, but in reality, he has remained calm and composed. It is as if all the glory and honor are just a natural outcome for him.

People need to calm down.

Since gaining his wisdom, the Demon Lord's mind has remained calm, so he naturally became the number one in the world.

After crossing streams and highlands, we unknowingly arrived at the edge of a cliff.

Below the cliff, the mighty river flows ceaselessly.

Above the cliff, the sky stretches endlessly, seemingly within reach.

Standing here, he didn't reminisce about his childhood, nor did he care about the many reforms and changes in the Demon Realm's political arena over the years. At this moment, he was simply himself.

People will always speculate about the Demon Lord's preferences and the tricks he usually uses.

All speculation is meaningless, because the Demon Lord has always been adapting to changing circumstances, but his mind has always been very calm. This extreme tranquility allowed him to easily cultivate the Eternal True Essence to its full potential in his youth.

Furthermore, he sailed smoothly and in an unprecedented manner, reaching a peak that no previous demon lord had ever reached.

When people are happy, they always think about gathering with their relatives and friends.

When people are down, they often sit alone by the fire, drinking alone and subconsciously judging their own morality, cause and effect, and talents.

But the Demon Lord never had a moment of triumph, nor a moment of despair.

Even without the blessing of being a Demon Lord, even if such a person were just a rogue cultivator, he would still naturally become the number one in the world. In terms of cultivation potential and comprehension, he would be far superior to Yuwen Jun and the Divine Emperor.

The scenery on the cliff was nothing special; there was no commanding view or gazing at the sky. He simply wanted to stand there and become a sight that outsiders couldn't understand.

What are you thinking?
Actually, I wasn't thinking about anything; it's just that people always tend to attach too many fantastical and magnificent ideas to the Demon Lord.

……

Some are filled with fervent passion, others with restless anxiety, and still others seem resigned to their fate. Yet, subconsciously, people gather with friends, family, and teachers, sharing drinks and reminiscing about the past. The daily grind wears down the spirits of many, but a few always manage to weather the trials of ordinariness, dispel the fog of confusion, awaken their spirituality, and see their true selves. Then, they resolutely follow the path in their hearts, whether straight or winding.

The present and the future are no different from the past.

What is meant to happen will happen, and what is not meant to happen will also happen.

The Spring Equinox has arrived...
