Chapter 1052 All in Your Hands
Yunxi stayed by Chi Wenxin's side for ten years before returning to her birthplace in disappointment.

After discovering her true form, Chi Wenxin began to steal life force from her in the name of love, claiming he wanted to stay by her side forever, but in reality he just wanted to prolong his own life and stay young forever.

Yunxi admitted that she had fallen for Chi Wenxin, but his actions had truly disgusted her, so she said to him very seriously:

"If you make a wish to me, I will grant it. But after granting your wish, you will lose me forever. Do you still want to make a wish to me?"

Chi Wenxin was conflicted. He did want to have a long life and an unchanging appearance, but his lover's research value was also great, which could make him a legendary figure in this field.

Yunxi knew the inherent weaknesses of human nature, and he believed that Chi Wenxin would make the choice that was most beneficial to him. Sure enough, the man made a wish to her, hoping to have a long life so that he would have enough time to study plants and eventually make her stand at the forefront of this field.

Although Yunxi was heartbroken, she still fulfilled Chi Wenxin's wish by injecting a wisp of wood-elemental power into the man's body. While Chi Wenxin absorbed this life force, she left the federal city and returned to the jungle.

When the thick fog enveloped the forest again, she fell into a deep sleep once more. Before she fell asleep, she hoped that Chi Wenxin would not regret his choice.

Chi Wenxin, who possesses a long life and an unchanging appearance, did indeed achieve great success by obtaining a leaf and a branch from Yunxi's body. However, as time went by, his unchanging appearance became the focus of everyone's attention.

Although he explained that it was the result of making a wish to the sacred tree, no one believed him. Finally, he revealed the existence of Yunxi, but after Yunxi left, all images of her in the federal city disappeared, as if she had never existed at all.

Ultimately, Chi Wenxin became the subject of biologists' research and never left the secret laboratory.

Because of the wisp of wood-elemental power she sent out, Yunxi fell into a long slumber until she sensed the earth shaking again. This time, when she opened her eyes, she saw a fireball falling from the sky. The fireball would explode upon impact with the ground, plunging the city, which had not yet activated its defensive shield, into a sea of ​​fire.

These smaller fireballs seemed to be just the beginning, until a fireball the size of half a city crashed down, making everyone realize that death was imminent. Even activating the defensive shields was useless, so they all closed their eyes and began to pray.

Yunxi sighed. She couldn't turn a blind eye after all, so she grew rapidly upwards. The tall and thick trunk shot straight into the sky, and the lush branches and leaves on the crown joined together, eventually holding back the huge meteorite. However, her body was ignited, and the fire instantly spread to the entire trunk and then burned down the trunk.

Yunxi gradually lost control of her body, but she didn't give the fiery meteorite a chance to fall, and still steadily held up the huge fireball.

Before she completely lost consciousness, she only heard the mechanical humming and seemed to hear water spraying on her, trying to extinguish her burning body, but all of this eventually drifted further and further away from her.

As she lost consciousness, Chi Wenxin also began to age rapidly. Looking at the towering tree on the screen, he raised his rapidly withering finger, pointed at the tree, and said:
"The secret to my eternal youth lies in it, and I regret it!"

He eventually died of old age in front of the biologist, his eyes still fixed on the blackened sacred tree on the screen as he died—the lover he had chosen to abandon.

Yunxi was plunged into darkness when a gentle voice sounded in her ear:

"Don't you regret it? You could have lived longer, and even become the only plant in the world with a spirit."

Yun Xi thought for a moment and replied:

"What good is regret? I've already made my choice."

"But they used you, abandoned you, betrayed you, and hurt you, so why would you still sacrifice for them?"

After thinking about it carefully, Yunxi said:
"I also used them to avoid being submerged. They abandoned me, and I no longer fulfilled their wishes. Those who betrayed me were eventually punished. Sometimes, immortality is not a good thing. As for harming me, they seem unable to do so. Only with my consent can they touch my true form. I sacrificed myself for them because the vast majority of people are kind. They live diligently, work hard, treat the people and things around them kindly, try their best to maintain ecological balance, and protect the forest where I grew. What I did cannot be called a sacrifice, but only a return for their kindness to living beings."

"What would you do if one day all good turned into evil?"

"Then take up arms and fight against evil."

"But the struggle between good and evil will never end, and you will find yourself in an endless war."

"There is no winner or loser in the struggle between good and evil, and no one side can dominate. What I need to do is find a balance, just like light and darkness, yin and yang. All things in the world are opposites and coexist, and human nature is the same."

"Remember your words, and the laws of the world are in your hands."

Yunxi's body suddenly recoiled backward. When she opened her eyes, she found that the surrounding immortal energy was surging wildly into her body, startling Diandian lying on her lap, Xue'ao in her arms, Lili and Congshan at her feet.

Bai Xiao and Bai Qiao opened their eyes at the same time, looked at each other, and said in unison:
"Ranxi is about to break through!"

Meng Lanjun was also awakened by the huge fluctuation of immortal energy. After transforming into human form, she immediately waved her sleeve to bring Yunxi's spirit pets out of the vortex of immortal energy.

Meanwhile, the little jade tablet appeared beside the Enlightenment Tree. Upon seeing Ranxi frantically absorbing immortal energy, it felt that the entire jade tablet was in trouble. There was a top-grade immortal vein under the Enlightenment Tree, and the immortal energy in the immortal vein was now flowing into Ranxi's body. It was so anxious that it fluttered up and down, crying out that it was a loss.

Once Yunxi was sure that her surroundings were safe, she closed her eyes and began to absorb the rich immortal energy. Her cultivation level steadily advanced towards the late-stage of the Profound Immortal Realm, and as time went by, she once again approached the peak of the late-stage of the Profound Immortal Realm.

Three days later, Yunxi finally broke through that barrier and successfully entered the Luo Tian Immortal Realm. The Daoist essence of the Enlightenment Tree also entered Yunxi's body along with the immortal energy, eventually flowing into her sea of ​​consciousness and dantian.

The moment Yunxi broke through, the tribulation clouds in the sky quickly gathered and instantly locked onto the person undergoing the tribulation.

The little black jade tablet roared loudly:

"I'll send you out to undergo your tribulation, but don't damage the inheritance palace."

As soon as she finished speaking, a teleportation array lit up beneath Yunxi, and the next instant she disappeared from under the Enlightenment Tree.

Bai Xiao used his tail to wrap around the small black jade tablet and said:
"Send us out. We must protect Fairy Ranxi during her tribulation, otherwise we'll be in big trouble if there are any evil immortals nearby."

Dian Dian, Li Li, Cong Shan, and Xue Ao, who was still confused about the situation, all gathered around Bing Yi Bai Hu and his wife, sharing the same thought.

Although Menglan was reluctant to part with the Enlightenment Tree, he still spoke up:

"Please take us to Ranxi's side."

See you tomorrow~
