I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 707 Finale (Part )

After that day, all those who cared about Jiang Yi and were close to her learned the inside story and went to the Cangling Sect to enter her dreams and request an audience.

Before leaving, each person can take home a replica of the Dream Fairy statue, according to their own wishes.

The statues come in all different sizes and materials; which one you bring back depends on how much you care about Jiang Yi.

These statues were all made by Danxi as punishment for Zhao Cangyun and Luo Qingsi, to compensate them for the damage they caused to the Sanwei Peak Square.

Although the two could fight to the point of wanting to kill each other, they were very in sync and devout when making the Dream Fairy statue, striving for perfection. The statue they made was even more exquisite than the one made by Danxi, a veteran weapon refiner.

After returning to her clan, Liu Tao spent a few days brainstorming before writing her new work, "The Immortal in the Pillow."

This time, she did not use a pen name. She wrote short stories aimed at ordinary people, analyzing human nature and witnessing greed, anger, ignorance, resentment, and hatred. The Dream Fairy in the Pillow plays a key role in each story to break the predicament and enlighten the masses.

Liu Taozhi wanted to make the name of Mengxian deeply rooted in the mortal world, and then penetrate from the mortal world into the cultivation world.

This was a decision she made after careful consideration, because the minds of high-level cultivators in the cultivation world were already fixed, and it was difficult to change their beliefs. Just like now, when the senior sister sacrificed herself to save the entire cultivation world, most cultivators were only grateful to her, and a small number of low-level cultivators were respectful, but there were no other emotions.

Most cultivators come from mortal backgrounds, and the faith they cultivate from childhood can influence their entire lives and bring more incense offerings to their senior sister.

Most importantly, although mortals are as insignificant as grass, they are endless and numerous. These tiny sparks, when gathered together, far surpass the dazzling stars of the cultivation world.

After completing the first volume, Liu Taozhi contacted Bai Shengjie, who had been traveling in the mortal realm for the past hundred years, telling stories and practicing medicine, living a carefree life. He was the most suitable person to promote the book in the mortal realm.

Bai Shengjie felt obligated to do so. Later, wherever he went, he would tell a few short stories about the fairy in the pillow, and when he left, he would build a small shrine under an ancient tree in some village or town.

Just as described in the book, the statue of Meng Xian is enshrined inside, allowing mortals to worship and pray, and also to help Jiang Yi expand her network of worshippers.

Sometimes, Jiang Yi would personally enter people's dreams to respond to their prayers, making the stories seem like divine intervention.

This virtuous cycle has greatly benefited Jiang Yi.

In just ten years, her network of followers spread throughout Beixuan and Dongzhou, and even the Fuguang Sea. Anyone traveling outside who wanted to see Jiang Yi only needed to take a few naps.

Xiling is Buddhist territory, so it's not her place to harvest incense offerings. However, the Xiling Buddhist sect, who fought alongside her against the demonic tide back then, offered Jiang Yi an ever-burning lamp.

There has been constant warfare in the Southern Wilderness. The tribes of Shen Puning, the Southern Wilderness Barbarian King, and the evil cultivators and rogue cultivators who have smuggled themselves in from the Floating Light Sea are engaged in a three-way battle. Jiang Yi's incense network is often deliberately sabotaged.

This was all because Shen Puning was not polite to Jiang Yi at all. After meeting Jiang Yi, she suddenly realized that she could use Jiang Yi's ability to enter her dreams to help her transmit battlefield information.

From then on, Shen Puning and the warriors of her tribe carried the Mengxian portrait with them wherever they went.

After every battle or in case of trouble, Shen Puning and his men would always say, "Don't panic, let me get some sleep first."

They would often sleep together as a group, and Jiang Yi would pull them into a dream to hold a strategic meeting, taking advantage of the long duration of the dream. They would even invite Jiang Yi to participate and help come up with ideas.

With just a simple "good sister," Jiang Yi was bound to the warship. Jiang Yi was both amused and exasperated, and could only help.

Shen Puning's tribe therefore regarded Mengxian as the second deity of the Southern Wilderness, and placed her statue under the Vermilion Bird Fire God they had worshipped for generations, and held annual sacrifices and pilgrimages together.

Besides the incense offerings mentioned above, Jiang Yi also had a special way of obtaining incense offerings, which she found rather embarrassing to admit: Crane Plaques!

Who would have thought that the things she once gave to her master and Long Ri to play with would now be promoted by Long Ri and become popular throughout the world?

To commemorate her, Long Ri replaced the "One of Bamboo" tile with a "White Crane" tile, and from then on, mahjong tiles became known as "Crane Tiles".

The incense offerings from cultivators that "The Pillow Book" couldn't harvest were easily obtained by Crane Brand, and everyone who tried it became addicted.

Some sects even changed their friendly sparring tournaments into "Crane Token Competitions," and some even went so far as to hold a pre-competition worship ceremony to pay homage to Jiang Yi, the founder of the Crane Tokens.

It is said that the more devout you are when you worship, the more you will be blessed by the Crane God and the better your luck will be!

Therefore, Jiang Yi had no choice but to go with the flow and secretly teach some mahjong skills to some cultivators who still knew how to sleep, thus confirming the matter.

Over the years, the cultivation world has still experienced wars, conflicts, and vibrant life.

New talents emerge one after another. Every few years, a few prodigies become famous in certain places in the world of mountains and seas, just as the saying goes, "Talented people emerge in every generation."

Jiang Yi and his group gradually became part of the older generation, becoming legends of the previous era in the eyes of these new talents.

The Cangling Sect is thriving and has become the fourth largest sect in the Central Plains, after the three major sword sects. The demon tamers and demon spirits trained by the sect are found in all walks of life in the cultivation world, which has greatly improved the human cultivators' perception of the demon race.

Daoist Chonghe granted Jiang Yi's request and personally issued a decree stipulating that all cultivators could only sign equal contracts with demon spirits, and must provide a 'betrothal gift,' just like hiring a cat to catch mice in the past. Demon spirits could also choose their own masters. (The 'betrothal gift' here is unrelated to marriage.)
The Azure Forest became the territory of the demon race led by the Qilin King Zhao Cangyun. The demons who had taken human form gradually appeared in various parts of the Eastern Continent. From being cautious at the beginning, they no longer needed to hide the traces of the demon race on their bodies and were able to coexist harmoniously with the human race.

Disputes naturally arise, and Danxi and Zhao Cangyun always step in personally to resolve them, strive to give an explanation to both the human and demon races, and work hard to balance the relationship between the two races.

Xin Wushuang followed Huiyuan and continued to explore the world on foot, wandering everywhere.

Shang Shixu followed Longri, who challenged crane card masters from all over the world. While his master played cards, Shang Shixu collected spirit insects from all over the world to cultivate, focusing on what he loved.

Shen Puning...does only three things every day: eat, fight, and sleep.

Mo Ling became the new head of the Mo family. She studied the art of mechanical puppets at Heying Pass at sea. The Nascent Soul stage demon corpse puppet left behind by Jiang Yi was transformed into mechanical snake puppets to protect a certain sea area.

Yan Kongqing stayed in the Cangling Sect, teaching cultivators and demon spirits who were fond of the Dao of Talismans and Arrays, and cultivating many array masters for the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Bai Shengjie earned the title of "Medical Saint," but his methods of healing people remained unorthodox. Unless a cultivator had a life-threatening emergency, they dared not seek him out.

There's also Bei Xuan. Chonghe Daojun asked two other Daojuns to work together to modify several spiritual veins on the seabed, continuously supplying spiritual energy to Bei Xuan, which has improved the environment of Bei Xuan day by day, far surpassing what it used to be.

The Xuan Ying Sword Sect held absolute dominance in the Northern Xuan region, becoming another sacred place for sword cultivators across the land.

Jiang met all his old friends, but the only one he didn't see was Hua Luosha. He only heard a lot about her from other people. She still went her own way and traveled alone in various parts of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

He wields his sword to challenge the wicked on a whim, and hides himself in the clouds and ravines for all to judge.

Knowing that she was safe and sound and living a carefree life, Jiang Yi was relieved. Whether they met or not didn't matter. He figured Hua Luosha felt the same way, thinking it was pretentious, so he didn't come to dream about her.

　and also!
