Madam, please ascend.

Chapter 439 Finally Becoming an Immortal
Heaven destroyed the Three Realms, leaving only the one that escaped.

Yun Yi had no idea what was happening; he only felt the scene before him begin to recede like a revolving lantern.

The Yunmeng Marsh, which had been burned to the ground by the white flames, gradually regained its greenery and became full of life.

Time continued its march forward, but Yun Yi became a traveler traveling in reverse. After traversing the endless torrent of time and space, when he regained his senses, he found himself still in the Yunmeng Ancient Marsh.

As far as the eye can see, there is misty water and fragrant grass.

"I... I'm still alive?"

Yun Yi was first shocked, then overjoyed. He didn't even have time to think about whether the scene of "the Three Realms being burned to ashes" was real or not.

The fact that he still possessed the cultivation level of the Ascension Realm meant that his previous experiences were not just a pipe dream.

He soared into the air, looking down over the entire land, but as he gazed down, his brows furrowed.

This is indeed the place where he lived, but it is not exactly the same.

Yun Yi squinted at the distance, where the sounds of battle echoed and various colored lights swirled. The combatants were dressed as righteous and demonic figures, and some of them were even familiar faces.

Although she looked familiar... she was much younger than I remembered.

Most importantly, he also sensed that one of them had a sword intent that was similar to his own, and even more refined.

Yun Yi immediately realized, who else in this world could do such a thing? Naturally, it was Nangong Feitian!
At this moment, Nangong Feitian had not yet dispersed!

He had actually traveled back a thousand years!
"Why is this?" Yun Yi looked up at the sky, his heart filled with doubt.

As if sensing his gaze, the Heavenly Dao slightly opened its eyes, wanting to stare at this person.

Yun Yi immediately sensed something was wrong and used a flawless technique to conceal his face and aura before disappearing into the bottom of Yunmeng Marsh.

He thought for a long time in the pitch-black river.

Even if I were to travel back a thousand years, what could I change? When the time comes a thousand years later, Heaven will still destroy the Three Realms.

This was destined.

Destiny...or fate?
A glint of light suddenly appeared in Yun Yi's eyes. He murmured, "If it is my destiny, I will defy fate. If the heavens are unjust, I will turn the three realms upside down."

With a time limit of a thousand years, as long as the Heavenly Dao can be killed, the Three Realms can be saved from being reduced to ashes.

As for how much we need to pay and how much we need to sacrifice...

Yun Yi had no time to think about it.

The Heavenly Dao has deceived all cultivators with the promise of ascension, and treats all living beings in the Three Realms as mere firewood. What use is such a Heavenly Dao? If it cannot be eliminated, the beings of the Three Realms will never have a chance to rise again.

So-called immortality and so-called freedom are all illusions!
Yun Yi made up his mind to eliminate the Heavenly Dao and began to rack his brains for a solution.

The final answer was to break the nine pillars supporting the heavens and the earth, as only in this way could the celestial realm be brought closer to the human world.

However, it is clearly not enough for one person to carry out this task alone.

He still needs a lot of help.

It doesn't matter; there has never been a shortage of people in this world who feel resentment because of the injustices of fate.

Since thousands of years ago, when the Heavenly Way severed communication between the heavens and humans and repeatedly interfered in human affairs, the seeds of "rebellion against the Heavenly Way" have been sown.

……

A grand plan to overturn the world cannot be accomplished overnight.

Yunyi spent a great deal of time on this, a year, ten years, a hundred years...

Using his memories from "a thousand years later," he saved several cultivators who should have died at the hands of Heaven, such as Mu Lang of the Heavenly Puppet Sect. He also moved many people with the truth about ascension, such as Xiao Buyi, the Vajra Dharma Image.

He and these like-minded people founded the Futian Pavilion.

In addition, over the long years, his cultivation has also improved.

When Yun Yi was able to use the "Great Evolution Escape" to help others evade the power of the Heavenly Dao, he finally leaped from the Ascension Realm to the Immortal Realm.

He transcended the Three Realms and was no longer bound by the Five Elements. Even though Heaven had long been watching him, it was powerless and helpless.

He was no longer an ant under the Heavenly Dao, but a sharp sword hanging over the Heavenly Dao's head, ready to kill him at any moment.

Centuries passed quickly, and the plans of Futian Pavilion proceeded in an orderly manner.

Mount Buzhou was leveled by a single sword strike, the pillar of heaven was destroyed, and the Jiang family, a family of immortal cultivators, was thus injured and could no longer rise to prominence.

Biluojian connects to the earthly realm, and even Tianzhu could not escape its clutches. From then on, demons and monsters roamed freely in the human world.

Furthermore, the Canglang Sect, one of the five major righteous sects, and the Hundred Desolate Holy Land in the far north, all disappeared into the "River of Time" due to the fall of the Heavenly Pillar.

In addition, there are several other celestial pillars, each hidden in a secret realm, and we will have to wait for the right time to see them.

Although Yun Yi was anxious, he could only wait.

Perhaps the waiting time was too boring, when his gaze swept across the desert, he suddenly wanted to "go home and visit".

That was his long-cherished wish that he was unable to fulfill in the "previous Three Realms".

Yunyi quietly returned to the small town and saw his parents. To his even greater shock, he saw a completely new version of himself crying.

The feeling was hard to describe. In an instant, he thought of many things, such as cultivating "Yun Yi" into a more powerful cultivator, changing his own destiny, and thus avoiding many regrets.

But when he saw his mother again, he rejected all those ideas.

Since life can be relived, why not... take an ordinary path? As for where the Three Realms will go in the future, let the "tall people" think about it.

Soon after, a well-read but pedantic scholar came to the town and opened a private school to make a living.

There were very few students, but the teacher clearly favored "Yunyi," saying that he was a promising student and would surely pass the imperial examinations in the future.

……

Unfortunately, fate is fickle.

Yun Yi thought he could change something, but in the end it seemed that nothing had changed.

He taught me to read for many years, and before leaving, he gave me many books and a bottle of elixirs, telling me to keep them safe, as they could save my life in a critical moment.

Therefore, the Yunyi family avoided that epidemic.

However, he could not escape the landslide caused by the abnormal movement of the earth's veins. As countless huge rocks rolled down the mountain, one collapsed the old house, and another landed on his parents. From then on, "Yunyi" was alone again.

He had no choice but to shoulder his book basket and prepare to go to Dong'an City to take the imperial examination, so as not to disappoint his parents' expectations.

As a result, while passing through the desert, they unexpectedly entered an unnamed town and met a woman they should have met many years later.

New porcelain from the Song Dynasty.

Yun Yi secretly observed everything happening in the nameless town, and at the same time discovered that the Heavenly Dao was also paying attention to this place.

He knew that as long as Song Xinci was prevented from ascending to the Heavenly Realm, the Heavenly Dao would not be restored because of Taishang's detachment from emotions.

Therefore, he decided to take the initiative to eliminate this "source of tragedy," but this was tantamount to engaging in an invisible battle with the will of Heaven.

Fate helped Song Xinci overcome one difficulty after another, and those things that failed to kill her all became nourishment for her growth.

Yun Yi did not come away empty-handed; he eventually devised a way to circumvent the power of Heaven and rewrite Song Xinci's fate.

That is, the Heart-Connecting Gu.

……

At a time of upheaval, when humanity was on the verge of collapse.

Yun Yi and the Master of Futian Pavilion gazed at each other, as if looking at themselves in a mirror.

Not only is Yun Yi "personally experiencing" everything the Pavilion Master has gone through, but the Pavilion Master has also completely understood Yun Yi's "two lifetimes".

All the questions that had puzzled him were now answered.

It turns out that in that life, Yun Yi fell from the Cliff of Absolute Heaven, but just before he died, he finally achieved enlightenment and escaped using the "Great Evolution Escape Technique".

Song Xinci, who was born with the destiny of heaven, also took this opportunity to lay the groundwork for his future.

It was also because his Dao originated from the same source as the Lord of the Overturning Heaven Pavilion that the Lord destroyed the Heavenly Dao in his second life, yet still faced the destruction of the Three Realms...

He awoke not a thousand years ago, but when Yun Yi arrived at the nameless town.

What happened afterward is self-evident.

After three lifetimes of entanglement, the three realms are now once again at a critical juncture of life and death.

Yun Yi's eyes gradually regained their luster. Although time was still frozen at the moment the sky collapsed, he felt as if he had truly lived for over a thousand years.

Those joys and sorrows were so real that for a moment, even he felt that he had become the Lord of the Overturning Heaven Pavilion.

The Pavilion Master looked at his other self and said softly, "Do you understand now?"

Yun Yi was speechless. He only felt the terror of fate; this power had transcended the Three Realms. Or rather, even the Three Realms could not escape the fate of destruction.

Pavilion Master: "I just suddenly realized something."

"what's up?"

"When I decided to use you to control Song Xinci and interfere with the Heavenly Dao, I was already in the game at that moment. I was no longer the one who had escaped, but you... were the one who had escaped."

The pavilion master's eyes brightened, revealing a resolute determination.

He said, "Song Xinci is right. Heaven fears death, while I am greedy for life. To put it bluntly, I am no different from Heaven. Equally arrogant, equally foolish."

Upon hearing these words, Yun Yi inexplicably felt as if he were being scolded.

At this moment, he could hardly distinguish between himself and the Pavilion Master, and the Pavilion Master felt the same way.

They were originally the same person, but due to changes in the "Great Evolution Escape Method," they have become what they are today.

No, that's not right.

Yun Yi suddenly shook his head, thinking to himself that he was not the master of the Overturning Heaven Pavilion. He cultivated the "Way of Rules" and was a disciple of Wang Shenlai. He was also Song Xinci's husband.

I am you, yet I am not you.

The Pavilion Master said, "Yun Yi, it has been many years since anyone called me by my name, to the point that I almost forgot who I was."

"Whenever I look at you, I feel as if I am seeing my former self. Once upon a time, I was just like you, a spirited sword cultivator."

"But once the Three Realms perish, all the passion and fervor will have nowhere to be poured out, and in the end, it will all be for naught."

Yun Yi said, "Perhaps... I can understand your actions. If this time, the Three Realms are still doomed to die, and Xin Ci perishes and her soul is extinguished, while I am the one who escaped and survived—"

"Then I might end up following in your footsteps."

The pavilion master laughed and said, "I once felt incredibly lonely. People couldn't empathize with me, but they forgot that I still had myself."

Yun Yi said, "It's just understanding, far from being an agreement."

"I know that's enough."

Suddenly, the Master of the Overturning Heaven Pavilion grabbed Yun Yi's head and pressed his forehead against the other's brow, whispering, "If this world is a mirror, and I can see my past self in it, wouldn't that also be considered... not forgetting my original intention?"

What is the original aspiration? It is the indignation at the ways of Heaven, for the sake of all living beings.

For a thousand years, the goal of the Overturning Heaven Pavilion has been to kill the Heavenly Dao, and it has gone astray by harming human beings for this purpose.

"Yunyi, from now on, there will only be one unique person left in the world. You will have to walk the rest of the road by yourself. There may be countless hardships and difficulties along the way, but remember... never forget your original intention."

The Immortal Realm cultivation that the Overturning Heaven Pavilion Master had painstakingly cultivated for a thousand years was continuously transferred into Yun Yi's body through his forehead.

But this is neither a gift nor an inheritance; rather, it is the inevitable result of achieving "self-reconciliation."

They were originally the same person, so Yun Yi absorbed this cultivation without any hindrance, as if it were a matter of course.

As the figure of the Overturning Heaven Pavilion Master faded further and further, after several "disappearances," he was finally about to face his true death.

A heart filled with resentment can finally find peace at this moment.

As the two figures merged into one, Yun Yi's spiritual energy surged continuously, breaking through the numerous barriers of the Ascension Realm and finally entering the Immortal Realm!
Yun Yi's Immortal Realm is even more profound than that of the Pavilion Master, simply because he has evolved the "Great Evolution Escape Path" into the "Rules Path," a higher level.

In an instant, the heavens and earth resounded with the roars of dragons and the cries of phoenixes, and wondrous phenomena appeared.

It is said: A cicada sheds its skin once every thousand years, while mayflies in the mortal world die many times.
