I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 698 The Only Way (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

The northern seas, on the edge of the shattered Northern Xuan land.

Three powerful beams of light landed on the shore; they were Dao Yuan Xingjun of the Lingxu Sword Sect, Yuan Shu Xingjun of the Taichu Sword Sect, and Dan Xi.

Dao Yuan Xingjun's gaze swept across the scorched earth like lightning, his eyes filled with shock and sorrow. "This is... the ancient land of Bei Xuan? It's... so desolate!"

Yuan Shu Xingjun frowned, his sword aura concealed, and his sharp gaze swept across the area searching for the person.

Just then, several streaks of light flew unsteadily toward the shore; they were Zhao Cangyun and his companions.

They were all emaciated and listless.

"Clear thoughts!"

Yuan Shu Xingjun's eyes narrowed, instantly locking onto the figure on Xin Wushuang's back. He moved swiftly to Xin Wushuang's side and carefully and urgently took Luo Qingsi from her.

Upon examining Luo Qingsi's body, Yuan Shu Xingjun discovered that her meridians were severed, her spirit was dim, and her injuries were so severe that she was almost exhausted. He was both anxious and furious.

"What happened?! How did you get injured like this?!"

Although his tone was harsh, there was no blame in it; it was all out of concern for Luo Qingsi.

The dignified Star Lord of Refining Emptiness was so anxious that he didn't know what to do, and kept searching his body for any pills that could save Luo Qingsi.

As Yuan Shu Xingjun took action, Dan Xi's gaze also eagerly swept over each returning person.

Zhao Cangyun, Xin Wushuang, Shen Puning, Hua Luosha, Mo Ling, Shang Shixu, Bai Shengjie, Yan Kongqing... and Luo Qingsi, who is in a coma.

But that brat wasn't there!

Danxi froze on the spot, a chilling sensation shooting from her feet to the top of her head.

Looking at the sorrow and despair on Zhao Cangyun's and the others' faces, at the traces of battle on their bodies and the grief of losing their comrades, the answer was already obvious.

Zhao Cangyun saw Danxi. He dragged his heavy steps and walked step by step to Danxi. He opened his mouth, but his voice was hoarse and broken.

"Master...I'm sorry...Eldest Sister..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Cangyun suddenly raised his arm and covered his eyes tightly with his sleeve. His shoulders trembled violently, and he could no longer utter a complete sentence.

Danxi swayed, her face pale, and her vision blurred, but she forcefully suppressed the surging blood and her impending emotional collapse.

As her mentor, she had to be stronger than her disciple at this moment.

Danxi took a deep breath and patted Zhao Cangyun's trembling shoulder.

"You're all back... I'm already very gratified."

On the other side, Dao Yuan Xingjun carefully explored every part of the Northern Xuan Land and then rushed to the far north sea, where he saw the glacier.

After the investigation, Dao Yuan Xingjun was shocked. Upon returning, he told Yuan Shu and Dan Xi, "The source of the demonic tide has indeed been sealed in the far north. There is a seal left there, containing the divine power of Xuanwu. It is incomparably strong and can protect the peace of our Mountain and Sea Realm for ten thousand years."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shu asked, "And what about ten thousand years from now?"

Daoyuan glanced at him but didn't say anything, but how could they not understand what he meant?

In the current world of mountains and seas, no one has the ability to completely end the root of the demonic tide. Just like the yin and yang of Tai Chi, where there is yang, there is yin. It is already difficult enough to strive for eternal peace for the world of mountains and seas.

Dao Yuan continued, "After returning, I will inform the three Dao Lords about what happened here and shut down the Nine Cauldrons Boundary-Stabilizing Array."

Having confirmed the seal's stability, the group began their journey home.

On the way, Dao Yuan Xingjun began to question Zhao Cangyun and the others in detail about everything that had happened after they entered the depths of the demonic tide. Those thrilling battles, the destruction of the Nine Emperors, the sacrifice of the heroic souls of Bei Xuan, and finally... Jiang Yi's resolute decision and sacrifice in covering the rear alone.

Yuan Shu Xingjun, meanwhile, was watching over the seriously injured and unconscious Luo Qingsi, his brows furrowed as he pondered how to help her recover fully after they returned.

Dao Yuan Xingjun also inquired about everyone's cultivation progress. After investigating them one by one, he discovered that after three years in the depths of the demonic tide, their cultivation had all increased rapidly, and they had all cultivated the Yang God, a skill unique to ancient cultivators, within their sea of ​​consciousness.

The path of Yang Shen has reached a dead end in the Mountain and Sea Realm. As for how they should proceed with their cultivation, Dao Yuan decided to send them to the Kunlun Secret Realm after they returned to seek help from the three Dao Lords.

"...Rest assured, you have made tremendous contributions to the Mountain and Sea Realm. The Alliance will certainly not treat you unfairly. As long as you need it, the resources of the entire Mountain and Sea Realm will be at your disposal to help you rise to the top."

Dao Yuan Xingjun solemnly made a promise to them.

"What about Jiang Yi?" Danxi, who had been silent all along, suddenly asked, her eyes fixed on Daoyuan with a piercing gaze.

Bai Shengjie followed up, "I didn't help much in quelling the demonic threat this time. If it weren't for Senior Sister Jiang, I would have died countless times already. I can't accept this credit!"

Shen Puning nodded vigorously, "Yes, I have no merit, I don't want anything, I just beg you not to give up on Ayi, go and find her, she definitely isn't..."

Shen Puning dared not utter the final word, 'death'.

"I don't want credit either!"

"I don't want it either!"

The others all said they didn't want anything; at a time like this, they had no face to ask for credit.

Danxi spoke calmly, "I don't care about anything else. I have only one request: I want the Mountain and Sea Alliance to announce to the entire world that the Demon Tide was quelled by Jiang Yi sacrificing herself. I want everyone to worship her at this time every year!"

Upon hearing the word 'worship', Zhao Cangyun's nose tingled and his eyes welled up with tears. "Master, Senior Sister isn't dead! That old tortoise said she was just trapped..."

"you shut up!"

Danxi interrupted angrily, glaring at Zhao Cangyun. Only then did Zhao Cangyun notice the subtle look in Daoyuan Xingjun and Yuanshu Xingjun's eyes. He wasn't stupid, and he immediately realized what was going on.

Master doesn't think that Eldest Sister is dead. Master thinks that Eldest Sister can still be saved. Master is trying to find a way to save Eldest Sister!
"Incense..."

Among them, Shang Shixu, the most low-key and quick-witted, whispered.

The few people, still immersed in grief, looked up and remembered this thing they had overlooked.

The merit of offering incense!

Shen Puning sat up abruptly and asked in a trembling voice, "If there are enough offerings, is there still hope for Ayi?"

Shang Shixu replied in a low voice, "If the physical body is destroyed but the soul remains, the merits of incense offerings can help her cultivate the ghost path. If Senior Sister Jiang is unharmed, with enough merits from incense offerings, she can directly ascend to immortality with her Yang spirit."

Ascending to immortality might be the only way to help Jiang Yi break this deadlock.

Shen Puning was overjoyed. "I...I'll go back and find Yaoyao. I can draw, and Yaoyao can write. We can write a book about Ayi's deeds and help her accumulate merits!"

Seeing hope for saving Jiang Yi again, everyone visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

Only Danxi kept looking at Daoyuan and Yuanshu, waiting for their reply.

The two exchanged glances and nodded. Dao Yuan sighed and said, "This is the proper thing to do. Don't worry, I will do my best to make it happen."

Yuan Shu also assured, "Yes, if anyone in the alliance dares to raise any objections, I will be the first to destroy him!"
