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

Jiang Yue did not directly answer Chi Miao's question, but simply looked at Chi Miao quietly. Although they looked the same, the melancholy in their eyes was completely different.

She said, "I'll take you somewhere, and you'll find out."

Chi Miao was taken aback, tilting her head in surprise: "Take me somewhere? Where?"

Jiang Yue pursed her lips and said, "The Burial Ground for Immortals."

After he finished speaking, the flames of all three thousand lamps around him intensified.

Above the room, a fiery gate suddenly appeared in the bronze ceiling, emanating waves of deathly and resentful energy.

The Gou Shi system felt an unprecedented familiarity from this aura, and even its consciousness trembled.

"Host, go inside...go inside!!"

"I can feel it; it's connected to me, it's the place where I was born!"

Chi Miao looked at Jiang Yue with a puzzled expression in his eyes.

Jiang Yue seemed to have used some kind of power, making her already fragile figure even paler. She smiled:

"Go inside. Inside is the last gift I leave for you, and the last stretch of road I can take you on."

"I believe you will understand what those things are, and I believe you will eventually gain their trust."

"Hint: The path I cultivate is the path of time and space. Although I have not become an immortal, I obtained immortal power during the tribulation of becoming an immortal, so I can be considered a half-time immortal. After completing this task, I was punished by heaven, lost all my cultivation, and became a mortal."

"Go...the child I've chosen."

As her voice faded, an invisible suction force pulled Chi Miao from the fiery gate above. The overwhelming resentment and pain materialized into countless large hands that reached out to grab Chi Miao.

Chi Miao instinctively tried to struggle, but then she suddenly saw Jiang Yue's expression.

A desperate gamble, as if risking everything.

Chi Miao pursed her lips and instead channeled her spiritual energy into the doorway.

After she entered the door... Jiang Yue's figure quickly became translucent and increasingly blurry.

Blood trickled from her lips, her eyes gleaming with confidence and smugness as she muttered towards the Firelight Gate:

"The last piece of the puzzle is finally in place, and my mission is finally complete."

"Although we weren't the ultimate winners, it felt pretty good to have created the real winners."

"Chi Miao... the rest of the road is yours to walk alone. I hope you can understand... just how immortal the path to immortality I created truly is."

If it's just the ordinary, what people mean by immortal.

That would be a huge failure.

Only when Chi Miao realizes what kind of "immortal" she is trying to create will she become the real winner.

Then, she glanced outside and walked out of the room.

Tianle-jun had been waiting outside for a long time, his eyes filled with emotion: "Master, it's been a long time."

Jiang Yue saw that the child she had raised herself, the little brat who had begged her for help back then, was now the strongest person in Miaohua Continent, and had protected Miaohua Continent for so many years.

Her eyes softened.

"Have they all been evacuated?"

Tianlejun nodded: "Yes, there are no more of our people within a hundred miles of the Tantric sect."

Jiang Yue nodded, but at the same time, she couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.

"You've suffered so much over the years... You and Tiannu have endured so much."

Tianlejun shook his head: "It's not hard... Compared to me... Master and my senior brothers have sacrificed more, all for the greater cause. On the contrary, I am the one who lives the most comfortable life under your and my senior brothers' protection."

Jiang Yue covered her face and smiled: "Actually, in the end, isn't the most comfortable life the most painful?"

Tianle-jun didn't follow up with complaints or feel wronged by those words; he simply said:

"We are all playthings of the evil of the common people. It is she who has turned Miaohua Continent into the chaotic state it is today. It is also because of her that the Restart Plan came into being. The four of us have been victims of the Restart Plan from the very beginning, and we know how hateful it is. From the moment we entered the sect until now, you have never hidden from us the inevitable fate of death on this path. We are all willing to accept it."

"Today, Senior Brother Tian Nu's soul is still struggling to support Miao Hua Continent. Every second that passes, he will suffer even more."

"Master, this is truly goodbye forever."

Jiang Yue nodded and gave a soft "hmm".

Tianlejun turned around without hesitation, and just as he was about to leave the area, he heard Jiangyue's voice behind him:

"I'm sorry to you four children in this life. If... I mean if, if there is an afterlife, I will be a good mother."

From the moment they entered the Tantric sect, the four disciples secretly referred to Jiangyue as their mother.

They were raised in captivity from a young age, and did not know who their mothers or fathers were. The oldest was ten years old and the youngest was six when they were chosen by Jiang Yue.

Even knowing that their mother raised them not out of "love," but simply to make them sacrifices for those with great talent, they were willing to do so and tacitly agreed not to let Jiang Yue know about it.

The four brothers thought they had kept it a secret, but little did they know... she had known all along.

She also treated them as her own children.

He didn't cry when Senior Brother Tianxi died, nor when Senior Brother Tianbei sacrificed himself to become an immortal, nor when Senior Brother Tiannu built a false Miaohua Continent to protect the central hub of Miaohua Continent and endured the pain of being devoured for thousands of years.

Now he could no longer hold back, and tears streamed down his face uncontrollably.

But he still didn't turn back, leaving resolutely.

"For the sake of all living beings, for the sake of my mother..."

"The Four Sons of Tantra, your four children... have lived up to your expectations."

After saying this, he returned to the center of the Tantric sect, his body floating in the air.

He raised his sword high.

This sword is called the Sword of Cause and Effect. It was created by the spines of four semi-immortals who had cultivated the four great emotions of joy, anger, sorrow and happiness.

Joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness—the four great emotions of the world—when they come together, they form a very special Dao—the Dao of Cause and Effect.

This sword carries power that surpasses the limits of Miaohua Continent and even surpasses divine artifacts.

With just this one sword strike, all cause and effect in the world can be severed!

At the same time... drain the user of everything.

The price of this sword strike was his body and soul, which had been in the realm of half-immortals for over a thousand years.

And what this sword strike brought in return was the entire Miaohua Continent!

The moment Tian Lejun gripped the Sword of Cause and Effect, the heavens and earth of Miaohua Continent issued the most solemn warning in thousands of years!

At the same time, the sentient beings, possessing a sense of awe, were suddenly startled, and a phantom of power appeared within the Immortal Alliance, issuing commands to the entire alliance:

"Go to the esoteric sect immediately and stop the sword from being drawn!!!"

Those at the Nascent Soul stage and above have already established some communication with heaven and earth, and at this moment they can also feel that heaven and earth are trembling, fearing something.

The higher one's level of understanding, the deeper one's perception.

Zhan Wangtian gritted his teeth and flew towards the Tantric sect at top speed.

"What exactly is Tantric Buddhism trying to do now?!"

Why is it that even the people of Miaohua Continent themselves feel fear?!
