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

In Miaohua Continent, more and more elders are becoming immortals.

The five children cultivated within the formation that Chi Miao had specially set up for them, making their cultivation twice as effective with half the effort.

Don't ask, the answer is that having a good relationship means you have backdoor access.

Jin Shengfei's eyes sparkled brightly, his heart filled with hope: "I really didn't expect this day to come so soon. Chi Miao has truly changed the entire Miaohua Continent. Did you hear how those people praised Chi Miao? If Chi Miao knew, she would definitely show off in front of us."

"It's probably hard for her not to know," Ying Wuhuo said calmly, then opened his eyes and stared in Chi Miao's direction. "It's just that she's too far away from us. Once we successfully ascend, she'll definitely be showing off."

Jin Shengfei pondered for a moment and commented, "That makes sense."

This is very late.

Normally, Chi Miao would definitely travel a long way to show off to them, but the situation is indeed quite different now.

Today, Chi Miao is the sky, the sun and the moon.

The sun and moon will not fall; they can only do so when they chase the stars and the moon, and then stand on the same platform again.

The group looked at each other.

Jingming suddenly opened his eyes, and a spiritual light flowed in his Buddha-like eyes.

"I sense it, my Dao seed... is about to grow into a tree."

He released his Dao seed, which, resembling a sapling, grew rapidly, becoming thicker and more vibrant, eventually growing into a Bodhi tree.

The others were startled.

"You're fast?!"

Although Jingming's cultivation level has always been far ahead, they were all in the Mahayana stage before this time when they became immortals. Unexpectedly, he was left behind again.

Jingming laughed, his gaze shifting to Ying Wuhuo and Rong Xuanji on the other side:

"You two are no less impressive."

Rong Xuanji's lips curled up, her fox-like eyes filled with pride. She stood up and displayed her Dao Tree, a beautiful purple-pink tree that exuded a bewitching and eerie charm.

She said, "We can't keep Chi Miao waiting too long. It would be a great pity if we didn't help at such an important moment."

"This might be the last time I fight alongside Chi Miao."

Because after this battle, no one will be able to fight Chi Miao anymore, and there will be nothing that requires Chi Miao's intervention.

How could they bear to let go of such a precious moment?

Ying Wuhuo was the first among them to finish. He had already completed it when he opened his eyes to answer Jin Shengfei's question, but he had been waiting for the others.

His Dao tree was a leafless, cold blue sword tree covered in frost, and beneath the cold blue, there were faint hints of pink.

He does cultivate the Path of Ruthlessness, but... his Path of Ruthlessness is extremely special. It is ruthlessness born of emotion, and it was for the sake of a certain person.

After he chose the ruthless path, his heart was removed. Later, Chi Miao's heart was implanted in his body, and his body regained its vitality because of Chi Miao's heart.

The heart beating in his chest was that of Chi Miao.

That heart allowed him to retain a trace of the Dao of the mortal world, and even now... his Dao tree is not purely the Dao of ruthlessness.

The aura emanating from this Dao tree is very strong, slightly stronger than that of Jingming and Rong Xuanji.

Actually, this tree should have another name... the Bitter Love Tree.

However, Ying Wuhuo was very clear about his own position, and he also understood what kind of relationship could truly last forever. He also knew that he was not the only one who harbored other thoughts about Chi Miao.

So, for the best of everything.

He will never reveal the tree's real name.

He looked at Jin Shengfei and Yu Wuxin and said, "It's just the two of you left."

Jin Shengfei: "Not a buddy? You're backstabbing me?"

Should there be no doubt?

Jin Shengfei: "I really can't stand you guys anymore! You're all so indecisive! You're in such a rush to become immortals!"

Yu Wuxin nodded fiercely, "Exactly! What does it mean that they all did it behind our backs? Don't they know there are still unfortunate souls struggling to cultivate? Right, Jin Shengfei?"

"That's right!" Jin Shengfei said, while showing off his Dao Tree.

It was a golden tree, radiating extraordinary fortune... The image was so good that if it were posted on the All Things Hub, people would steal it and claim it was the work of the God of Wealth, with everyone who saw it getting a share.

Yu Wuxin: "???"

"Hold!!!"

"Even you've become one? Holy crap! Then what's your dog barking about?! I'm asking you, what's your dog barking about?! This is a real backstab!"

We agreed to rot and decay together, but you pretended to cry in front of me and stabbed me in the back?

"How are you any different from Chi Miao?!"

One who stays near vermilion gets stained red; one who stays near water gets stained water.

Chi Miao left everyone behind. They had agreed to walk hand in hand, but the four of them ended up carrying him on their backs and walking ahead of them.

Yu Wuxin was furious.

In a fit of anger, he said the tree had also become a tree.

A dreamy-colored tree, extremely beautiful, but its shape is very irregular, as if it has been twisted by anger.

The group was both amused and exasperated, then looked up at the sky.

"So... is everyone ready?"

Jin Shengfei rubbed his hands together, eager to try: "Ready? I want to see what kind of title Chi Miao has prepared for me. It's bound to be incredibly cool and awesome!"

Ying Wuhuo coldly scoffed, "Childish."

Rong Xuanji smiled and said, "I like any title that Chi Miao bestowed upon me."

Yu Wuxin chuckled: "Chi Miao is always good at coming up with names like this!"

Jingming pinched his chin: "Amitabha, this humble monk would like to hear something more serious."

Jin Shengfei: "Huh? If that's what you're saying, then I feel like there's going to be a problem. After all, she's the kind of person who can give herself a name like 'So arrogant, domineering, invincible, and supremely powerful'..."

Everyone stared wide-eyed at Jin Shengfei in disbelief, and Ying Wuhuo even reached out and covered Jin Shengfei's mouth with his palm.

Several people shouted in unison, "Shut up!!!"

This is a title bestowed upon immortals! It accompanies their lives, lasting as long as the heavens, and can never be severed. Even other living beings who worship them must worship this name.

If they were to give themselves a name like "So arrogant and domineering that they're insane and invincible in the world," they would never be able to wash it off for the rest of their lives, and their lives would be ruined!

The key is that one's life after becoming an immortal is eternal.

Anyone would go crazy if this happened to them!

Only someone with such unique taste as Chi Miao would be interested!

Just then, Chi Miao's voice came:

"What are you five doing? I've sensed you for ages! Are you going to ascend to immortality or not? Are you going to become immortals? If you're not, I'll give your immortal positions to someone else!"

Honestly, you're even criticizing her taste! She'll definitely show you what she's made of!

Unaware that Chi Miao could hear their conversation, the group spoke with unwavering determination in their eyes.

"Let's begin now, we're all ready."

Chi Miao: "You beg me."

Several people: "???"

No, Chi Sanshui, you?!

—Author's Note—

Ah, it's almost finished. Did anyone give me a little gift as a reward?

I...I also want to use a brand that's in the top 100 of gift lists to show off!
