The whole family went mad, but the junior sister turned the tables and her luck soared.

Jiuhuang's eyes widened in fury, and the spirit sword in his hand erupted with blinding blood light, distorting the void and causing the four regions to tremble.

The city's protective array was activated in time, but it vanished the moment it touched that sword light.

A terrifying cloud of blood suddenly engulfed the figures of Yun Yici and the other three.

All things in the world have perished.

Jiuhuang: "Ha, ha..."

His laughter suddenly stopped.

Jiuhuang saw a dazzling golden light of merit erupt from the Blood Domain, like the dawn breaking, and the vigorous vitality tore open the cracks like a sharp blade.

Wherever the golden light reached, the entire wilderness was bathed in its glow.

His loose, aging skin turned black and gray, and his bones and blood melted away like ice and snow when they came into contact with the golden light of merit.

A golden light shone down upon him, and the black robe he wore turned into tattered rags that spontaneously combusted without wind, while his blood transformed into golden specks of light like fireflies.

As dawn broke, the arrogant Nine Desolate Sword Lord left behind only a sharp, abrupt howl.

The shape of the Spring-Falling Sword in Yun Yici's hand began to dissipate, transforming back into the power of merit in the world.

The golden dragon appeared out of nowhere and carried her steadily on its back.

"what is that?"

Yun Yici said, "It is a sword that carries the power of Zhulong and the thoughts of all living beings."

When they came to the Heavenly Spirit Realm, Zhujian lent her a lamp.

The emperor raised his hand, and the dragon pendant in his hand seemed to be summoned and flew towards Yun Yici.

As if sensing something, Jiu Meng said to Xie Qianjue and Rong Xuan beside her, "I'm leaving too. Thank you."

"I will always remember you, my friends."

After she finished speaking, she transformed into a streak of light and followed Yun Yici away.

Yun Yici received the dragon pendant and took out three more light cores from her storage bag.

The four pieces, though not able to be pieced together, subtly echo each other, emitting a bright light.

The night was getting cold. The survivors of the catastrophe looked up at the female cultivator who was riding a dragon to ascend to heaven. Their eyes showed no fear or hatred, only confusion.

The little stone tortoise that had been silent in Yun Yici's sleeve stirred: "Well done."

"However, to repair the Immortal Ladder, someone must ascend to heaven and fill in these Immortal Cores when the Immortal Ladder reappears."

Shen Huaichuan smiled slightly and said, "Come on."

Yun Yici was taken aback for a moment: "You don't have to do this."

"No one is more suitable than me."

As soon as Shen Huaichuan finished speaking, the sky, which had just begun to brighten, darkened again.

Thunder converged, and the nine tribulations of lightning arrived as promised.

Yun Yici could sense that Huai Chuanjian was very excited.

This is the second time they have faced this tribulation together.

High above, a magnificent ladder of light suddenly appeared, leading to the immortals.

The celestial jade staircase descended from the clouds, each step flowing with Daoist runes, accompanied by ethereal, ever-present celestial music.

At this moment, no one dared to question their existence anymore.

All the complex emotions that the cultivators of the Heavenly Spirit Domain had previously felt were transformed into awe at the moment the Immortal Ladder appeared in the world.

The cultivators were deeply shaken and involuntarily bowed their heads in worship.

For nearly two thousand years, no one has ascended to immortality!

Even in the Nine Desolations, it's the same!

The moment the celestial ladder appeared, the four light cores in Yun Yici's hand converged into a ball of light and were recalled by the celestial ladder, becoming one with the light.

Yun Yici sincerely congratulated, "Congratulations on your ascension, Senior Shen."

Shen Huaichuan's body radiated Daoist energy, yet he smiled at her: "Who said I'm about to ascend to the Upper Realm?"

The emperor was initially pleased to have gotten rid of his rival, but upon hearing this, he blurted out, "If you don't ascend to immortality, do you just enjoy being struck by lightning?"

This Shen Huaichuan, how many times has this happened?! Is he playing games with us during his tribulation?!

Just as Yun Yici was about to speak, she was unexpectedly drawn to a mysterious realm by a force.

No, to be precise, it was something within her consciousness.

The dog system, which had been silent until now, whimpered softly, "Xiao Ci, I'm going back too."

Yun Yici: "I remember now, you are the piece of the Heavenly Dao that was cut off when I failed to ascend back then."

When she failed to ascend back then, she thought it was the work of Heaven.

The dog system chuckled and said, "I'm leaving now, so I'll give you one last gift."

"Fengchun was originally a gift from Ning Tinglan to you. In this life, by a twist of fate, your master-disciple relationship is over, and so is Fengchun."

"I will return spring to you."

Invisible laws emerged from Yun Yici's sea of ​​consciousness, and at the same time, the causal threads of the world began to materialize and weave into the body of the Fengchun Sword.

Cause and effect are the sword, and merit is the edge.

Yun Yici accepted the kindness of Heaven and obtained it in the spring. The familiar sense of closeness made her happy.

"Damn system, you've finally done something humane."

The Heavenly Dao, which was being called a dog by the system, was secretly pleased.

It coughed lightly: "Xiao Ci, you have completed the Immortal Ladder and accumulated countless merits in your past and present lives. Are you willing to go to the God Realm and become the fifth Supreme God?"

Yun Yici shook her head: "I can't be a god, I'm a human being."

She preferred to stay on earth with her friends rather than be a god.

Heaven was not surprised by her choice.

It said, "If that's the case, I won't go easy on you when you ascend to heaven."

Yun Yici: "Shen Huaichuan has already passed the Ascension Tribulation three times, whether horizontally or vertically. Do you think I need you to go easy on me?"

The Heavenly Dao was immediately speechless: "The joys and sorrows of humans and the Heavenly Dao are different. You should go back."

Next time, if Shen Huaichuan wants to ascend again, it will strike him hard!

Yun Yici smiled at her invisible companion and whispered, "Thank you."
