The sacred tree is about to pass, and the cannon fodder's wish countdown is coming

fairyland.

An immortal walked into a palace leisurely and briskly.

He walked into a palace door with ease, glanced at the Immortal Qingming who was meditating on the couch like a sculpture, then slowly sat down at the jade table and poured himself a cup of tea.

"Looks like he should be waking up soon." He muttered softly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a golden halo came from nowhere and penetrated directly into the center of Qingming Immortal Venerable's eyebrows.

In an instant, Immortal Venerable Qingming frowned and a look of pain appeared on his face.

Seeing this, the immortal quickly approached and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"

Qing Ming Immortal Venerable opened his eyes, a gloomy haze in his eyes. He said calmly, "Nothing."

"Your situation doesn't seem like nothing happened." Immortal Xuantian Xianjun said.

Qingming stabilized his soul, and after hearing his words, his body paused, his expression a little dazed.

After a moment, he looked a little hesitant: "Is it really true that I came to the mortal world this time to endure a life-and-death calamity?"

"What else?" Xuantian asked, "What do you think it is?"

He didn't answer directly, but instead talked about his experience in the mortal world, "I met someone in the mortal world, and my mortal body seemed to like her very much..."

Xuantian smiled knowingly, "You, you don't think this is a love calamity, do you?"

As he spoke, he actually laughed out loud, "Of course you're going through a life-or-death tribulation. To ensure you can successfully overcome it, I even specially found a supporter for you in the mortal world!"

He sounded somewhat smug when he spoke, but Qingming frowned when he heard it, "Lu Shi?"

"what?"

"The person you are looking for is Lu Shi?" Qing Ming asked again.

"Hehe, I can't hide it from you!"

Qing Ming's eyes narrowed slightly, "What did you promise her?"

Xuantian casually replied, "I saw that she had a destiny to become an immortal, but she had never been able to break through that shackle, so I made a deal with her to help her ascend to heaven."

Qingming fell silent for a moment.

Seeing this, Xuantian seemed to understand something. He stood up excitedly and said, "Your mortal body won't fall in love with her, will it?"

"Oh no, oh no, you like anyone else, but she's the one you like. No wonder you think you're going through a love calamity. Could it be that your courtship wasn't successful?"

I have to say, he told the truth.

Qing Ming had no expression on his face, but the aura around him was even colder.

"Since you have promised her, now that my soul has returned to its place, you should fulfill your promise for her as soon as possible."

Xuantian had an expression as if he had seen through everything, "I understand, I dare not delay."

"Let me get ready and come down to earth immediately." He walked out quickly.

Qingming, who stayed in the hall, looked at the empty hall and couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable. He slowly put his hand on his heart.

That uncomfortable feeling emanated from here.

This feeling...is the first time.

Can Fan Shen's feelings for her actually affect himself?

He suddenly became curious about her.

He stood up and turned into a stream of light, entering the mortal world before Xuantian.

The cabin belonging to Lu Ciyan was still as bright and beautiful as before, and seemed to have been well taken care of every day.

Qingming landed in the yard and gently opened the door.

Just a glance and all his mortal experiences came flooding into his mind. The clearest of them was the seven days in the Qiyun Secret Realm, which stood out among the many memory scenes.

The usually aloof Immortal Lord actually blushed quietly, his heartbeat suddenly began to speed up, and an emotion called "joyful shyness" quietly grew in his heart.

He suddenly wanted to see her very much.

This thought was stronger than ever before.

The door was gently closed by a gust of wind, and he came to an open space in front of the cave.

One day in heaven and one year on earth.

The seed that was planted at the beginning grew into a small tree in just a few months with the nourishment of spiritual energy and everyone's careful care.

Although the branches are slender, they are as tall as Qingming when they grow out of the ground.

He gently stroked the branches of the small tree with his hands thoughtfully, and the spiritual sustenance it embodied came into his mind.

...So, this is him.

Xiaoshu's memory seemed to be even more vivid than his mortal body's memory, and that figure appeared in his mind with unusual clarity.

It can be imagined that she spent more time with Xiaoshu than with anyone else in her memory.

A feeling of joy spread throughout his body, from his heart to his entire body, and Qingming couldn't help but smile.

At this time, there was a slight movement coming from the cave.

Perhaps because he was homesick, or perhaps he didn't know how to face it, Qingming actually hid in an open space in the distance where Fan Shen often practiced sword skills. There was a thick ancient tree there.

He hid behind an ancient tree, concealing his aura, and quietly poked his head out to look over there.

That's her.

He finally saw it.

Just one glance, and the heart that had finally calmed down began to beat uncontrollably again.

Being attracted to her seems to have become an instinct.

She was seen bringing a snow-white crane and carrying a bucket of water to the small tree, watering it gently and patiently.

Humming an unknown tune, a gentle smile spread across her face. From a distance, she seemed to be glowing.

Qingming was stunned...

The figure walked into the cave, and he remained in the same position, motionless.

The breeze blew across his face, awakening his mind that had run away from home.

He suddenly laughed, a muffled laugh coming from his throat, causing a tremor in his chest.

She is her own.

I have had physical contact with her for seven whole days, and I need to be responsible for it.

Or...it's okay if she takes responsibility for herself...

If you want to get married in the fairyland, what preparations do you need?

Do you need red silk?

Mortals seem to like this bright red color.

Otherwise, hold a wedding in the fairy world and also one in the mortal world.

It seems not bad.

What about wedding dresses? What style should I choose?

She is about to ascend. Should I prepare in advance?

I don't know what kind of clothes she likes. Should I ask her now?

Thinking of this, he looked a little hesitant.

Does she dislike me? If I tell her in advance, will she run away again?

Maybe they don’t want to ascend.

No!

Qingming shook his head.

He wanted to hit her with one strike, and then lock her up the moment she ascended.

His cultivation was much stronger than hers. This time, she definitely couldn't escape...

A trace of gloom suddenly emerged from under the holy face of Qingming Immortal Venerable, and it wrapped around his body. But before it took shape, he was awakened by a figure.

"Senior Brother?" The voice seemed hesitant and uncertain.

Qing Ming turned around and saw Xu Chenjue, who had a more stable temperament and looked more reliable.

The corners of his mouth unconsciously pressed down, and he said slowly: "Master... Junior Brother."

Xu Chenjue's image was not very good in the mortal body's memory. After Qingming watched him again as an outsider, he found that he seemed to have done nothing wrong.

But for some reason, she just couldn't like him. Maybe it was because of her mortal body, or maybe it was because she saw him getting close to Lu Shi and simply didn't like him.

Qingming pinched his palm unconsciously.

Only then did I recall when he became so...jealous?

An immortal shouldn't be like this.

"Senior Brother, it's really you!" Xu Chenjue was extremely happy.

Qing Ming adjusted his mood and said calmly, without a trace of ambiguity, "My name is Qing Ming."

Xu Chenjue was in a good mood. The calmness he showed when they first met seemed like an illusion to Qingming. The person standing in front of him now was just a child who was simply happy to see his family.

"Qingming Immortal Venerable!"

He wanted to shout excitedly, but was stopped by Qing Ming in time.

Xu Chenjue immediately covered his mouth to indicate that he understood.

He lowered his voice, unable to conceal his excitement, "Master said I would be able to see you after I ascended. I didn't expect her to be wrong this time. I've already seen you at the Golden Core stage."

"Brother, do you want to give Master a surprise?" He blinked and asked like a curious baby.

Qing Ming pursed his lips. In his memory, he didn't seem to be such a lively person. Why did he talk so much today?

Xu Chenjue, unaware that he was being disliked, continued chattering and even brought good news to Qingming.

"Brother, don't worry and go ahead boldly this time. I've observed that Master definitely likes you."

"When Master ascends to heaven, you and Master will no longer have a master-disciple relationship, and there will definitely be no obstacles!"

He stared at Qingming with sparkling eyes, as if he was a child expecting to be praised by an adult.

"Master must like you," Qing Mingguang heard this.

He smiled generously and said, "I will definitely invite you when we get married."

Xu Chenjue was somewhat happy but also somewhat disappointed when he heard this. "I'm afraid I won't be able to ascend by then."

Qing Ming had no intention of giving him a backdoor, "Then you should practice hard."

It is best to focus all your energy on cultivation and avoid any contact with her.

Xu Chenjue took this as encouragement and worked harder on his cultivation.

Before leaving, Qingming asked Xu Chenjue to keep it a secret for him and not let others know that he had seen him.

Seeing Xu Chenjue's repeated assurances, Qingming felt relieved. He looked deeply at the cave and left with lighter steps than when he came.

At this time, Lu Shi already knew the news of his departure.

The system felt a little regretful, "He came here, but he didn't come to talk to you."

"Maybe now that his soul has returned, his feelings for you have faded." It guessed uncertainly.

"Maybe. Our mission will be completed soon, and then we will leave." Lu Shi said without any emotion.

"Okay." The system had no objection.

The day came quickly.

Xuantian took a pill and asked Lu Shi to take it, and transferred 30% of his immortal power to her at one time.

The final ascension thunder tribulation is coming.

The rolling dark clouds were like thousands of troops, covering the sky and the sun, coming with the power to destroy everything.

Lu Shi stood in the middle of the storm, enduring the last hurdle of ascension.

One after another, thunderbolts from the sky came down like roaring dragons, with tremendous force, as if to reduce everything to ashes.

Qingming stood on the clouds and looked down. His palms were covered with red marks from being pinched by him. His eyes were fixed on the person in the center of the thunder and fire. He was so worried that he almost couldn't bear it and wanted to go forward to block it for her.

But the protagonist below was not in a hurry. He stood upright in the big pit created by lightning, waiting for the next thunder disaster to come.

The lightning with destructive power seemed strong and unstoppable, but in fact it was just like a tickle when it fell on Lu Shi.

Tiandao: It’s not in vain that you take care of my son!

After the thunderstorm, the clouds gradually dispersed, the world returned to clarity, and a cloud ladder leading to the horizon quietly emerged.

Lu Shi stood up.

The cloud ladder naturally rose, and sweet dew fell from the sky.

This is the gift that every ascender leaves to the land where she lives.

Everyone from the Qingxu Sect, as well as people from unknown sects, families, and even independent cultivators, bathed in the nectar. Some actually achieved breakthroughs right on the spot, while others felt their realm become more stable...

They bowed respectfully to Lu Shi from a distance.

The cloud ladder was about to reach its highest point, and when Lu Shi was about to leave the small world, she saw Qing Ming quietly waiting for her in the clouds.

Qing Ming looked exactly like Lu Ci Yan, so Lu Shi recognized him at first sight.

She didn't say anything, but looked back quietly with a smile on her face.

This should have been a happy day for everyone, but Qingming couldn't be happy. He felt that something important was slowly moving away. This feeling became stronger as Lu Shi got closer to him.

He seemed to understand something.

With tears in his eyes, he pleaded desperately, "Don't go..."

"I beg you……"

"Don't leave me..."

When the ladder reached its highest point, Lu Shi crossed his hands in front of his chest, raised his eyebrows and chuckled.

The breeze blew up her clothes and her long black hair flew.

"I'm leaving now, what are you staying for?"

Lu Shi turned his head and said, "Hurry up and catch up."

Qing Ming stared at the place where Lu Shi disappeared in a daze.

Suddenly, the sadness and despair in his eyes faded away, and when he opened his eyes again, a golden light flashed.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he disappeared on the spot the next second.

The breeze brought his last whisper:

"Come here."
