The sword seller, dressed in red, deserves applause for the prankster.

Chi Miao kept quiet for a while, using all sorts of methods to calm herself down before daring to open her eyes and look back at the blue booklet.

The mission of Tantric Buddhism can be summed up in just eight words.

These eight words, however, shocked Chi Miao from the inside out, giving her goosebumps all over.

This overwhelming emotion shifted several times in an instant, from excitement to understanding, and finally, little by little, to calm.

The booklet in her hand shattered and disappeared the instant Chi Miao finished reading it. Blue light particles rose and swirled around her. She said nothing more, only addressing the Heavenly Sorrow Immortal before her:

"I see."

"I will definitely walk this road to the very end."

The Heavenly Sorrow Immortal seemed to have expected her reaction. As his smile deepened, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"With your words, I am relieved. Thus... Tianbei's mission is completely complete."

Chi Miao was taken aback. Perhaps the recent separation made her particularly sensitive to this, especially considering the story of the Heavenly Sorrow Immortal and his current state...

Perhaps the Heavenly Sorrow Immortal was merely clinging to his last breath, waiting for her to arrive so that he could fulfill and complete his mission.

Or perhaps it's to see her one last time.

She looked up, her eyes filled with complex emotions, and softly opened her mouth: "Are you leaving?"

The Heavenly Sorrow Immortal blinked, a rare hint of teasing appearing on his handsome face: "You can't bear to part with it?"

Chi Miao's eyes stung.

"I just feel that the builders of this road were truly great, and this road... was just too difficult, just too difficult..."

She originally thought that the so-called "paving the way for all eternity" only referred to her countless reincarnations.

But now she understands, eternity... it is the eternity of countless people, their eternity, and theirs as well.

This path is truly distant and uncertain, yet with the collective efforts and shared progress of everyone, it is becoming increasingly clear.

The eight-character mission of Tantric Buddhism, once completed... will surely be a blessing to all living beings, and will be an unprecedented and unparalleled achievement.

The Heavenly Compassionate Immortal patted Chi Miao on the shoulder and said, "It is precisely because of the difficulties that we are needed."

"Keep moving forward, walk this one-way street to the very end, and turn this narrow bridge into a broad highway!"

"You should leave now, it's time to get back on track."

"If things don't go well, Tantra will solve everything for you."

After speaking, the figure of the Heavenly Sorrow Immortal grew weaker and weaker until finally he gently placed his palm on Chi Miao's head, infusing the last bit of immortal power he had left into Chi Miao.

In that instant, Chi Miao could feel an unprecedented, heaven-defying change, as if he were coexisting with heaven and earth, and as if he could change the world with his every thought.

She broke through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Wonderful, exquisite, and this feeling can be brought about by just a touch of immortal power!

No wonder everyone wants to become an immortal...

Some people are obsessed with becoming immortals, while others go mad in the process.

Restart plan...

Chi Miao's throat tightened; whenever she thought of this plan, it made her feel as if her heart was being torn apart.

Humanity's calamities did not come solely from the demons; ultimately, what crushed humanity was humanity itself.

It is the contempt of the strong for life, and the desires that humans cannot control even after years of cultivation.

Human disasters do not belong to humanity alone.

This is a calamity for all living beings.

The seed of Dao in Chi Miao's heart is growing at a frenzied speed. Although it was only recently born, it has already broken through its shell and sprouted a small bud.

Her Dharma form also broke through to the metal form at this moment.

However, she still couldn't see clearly which ability her Dao leaned towards. The only thing she knew was that this Dao seed was unparalleled and invincible.

She watched the Heavenly Sorrow Immortal gradually dissipate before her, murmuring:

"An immortal touched my head, and I was granted eternal life."

"Thank you for your dedication along this path. You've worked so hard all this time... You've had a tough time."

The Heavenly Sorrow Immortal was taken aback, then smiled slightly.

"Thank you for your contributions to the people."

"Remember, you choose the people, and the people will choose you... The sins of the people are the root of all evil."

After saying that, the figure of the Heavenly Sorrow Immortal completely disappeared.

They couldn't even sense the last breath.

But Chi Miao will not stay.

More than tears, her steps were the best reward.

She must finish this journey quickly to minimize further sacrifices.

She gathered spiritual energy in her fingers and easily drew several large characters on the wall in front of her.

Heavenly Sorrow Immortal.

—Heroes of Miaohua Continent.

After bowing to the large characters in front of him, Chi Miao left without looking back.

Outside, the group of friends had all gathered, but their faces didn't look too good, as if they had a thousand words to say.

Chi Miao asked, "What's wrong?"

A serious expression appeared on their faces.

Especially Ying Wuhuo and Jin Shengfei.

Their eyes were red, brewing with violent emotions.

Tears welled up in Jin Shengfei's eyes, and he clenched his teeth so tightly that blood oozed from his mouth.

Chi Miao quickly realized something was wrong, and her voice suddenly turned several degrees colder:

"What exactly happened? What went wrong?"

She thought someone had died, so she counted the number of people inside the Heavenly Sorrow Cave.

No one from the Tianjiao Group was killed.

So what exactly happened?

Chi Miao narrowed her eyes slightly and turned to look at Jingming: "They're both in a bad mood, you speak to them."

Although Jingming has some unexpected little quirks, none of the closest members of the Tianjiao Group are completely reliable. In comparison, Jingming is the most reliable.

Jingming closed his eyes, slowly raised his right hand, and uttered, "Amitabha."

"This matter... I really don't know how to bring it up."

Chi Miao turned his head: "Xuan Ji?"

Rong Xuanji also pursed her lips, her beautiful face filled with conflict: "I...I don't know how to say it."

"Yu Wuxin?"

Yu Wuxin hesitated, then sighed softly, "You... you'll see when you look inside the Hub of All Things."

He scratched his head, unsure how to bring it up with Chi Miao.

Chi Miao stopped hesitating and quickly opened the long-unused Hub of Everything.

Thanks to the Jin family's vigorous promotion, the All Things Hub has spread to every household in the industry they left within a year, with a huge number of users.

She has many friend requests, and her various pages are covered in red dots.

The private message at the very top was from her godfather, Master Puning.

[Heart as Still Water: Chi Miao, if you see this message, please go to the Tantric sect immediately, and absolutely do not return to Nine Swords Mountain!]

Don't go back to Nine Swords Mountain?

What happened at Nine Swords Mountain?

Startled, Chi Miao exited the private chat and saw the latest update of the Jin Family Daily.

Ten thousand men besieged Jiujian Mountain, and Jiujian Mountain was destroyed.

Chi Miao's mind went completely blank.

As she trembled, she heard Jin Shengfei sobbing beside her.

"Chi Miao...we have no home anymore."
