After conquering the Empress, I proved my Dao with the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace!

"father!!"

Qin Chuan couldn't stop her tears as she watched He Anhai's body slowly disappear.

At that moment, the ninety-ninth toll of the death knell sounded from the outside world!

One in a hundred is less than perfect; nothing is ever truly perfect.

Therefore, the Dao that Zhong Hudao protects is one, neither more nor less.

Ninety-nine paths to the underworld—this is the bell of the Supreme One's fall.

The sound of the bell echoed across the seven peaks of the First Heaven.

At this moment, on the seven mountain peaks, a million cultivators knelt down in silence, bowing towards the fourth peak.

Everyone, even the most powerful, bowed to the fourth peak at this moment.

From the fourth peak, cries could be heard.

At this moment, all the disciples knelt down and bowed towards He Anhai's cave.

He Anhai has fallen.

The sound of crying came from outside, and Qin Chuan watched as He Anhai's figure completely disappeared.

He knelt there, silent for a very long time.

As he stood up, he clutched his chest and walked out of the cave step by step.

They saw that all the disciples of the Fourth Peak had arrived outside the cave.

When their eyes met, Qin Chuan's expression was filled with extreme sorrow.

He saw the sunlight in the sky, and the light shone into his eyes.

Qin Chuan seemed to see He Anhai's figure, gradually disappearing into the distance under the protection of those ninety-nine halos.

It seemed as if it had turned back to look at the earth, and then at itself.

In this light, Qin Chuan saw himself just arriving in this illusory world.

The first impression of He Anhai is that he is strict yet doting, and he will forgive whatever you do.

After he killed Ji Tiancheng, he heard He Anhai's voice in his ear as he was being punished with the whip.

That one sentence, "Why didn't you scream?", touched Qin Chuan's heart.

The magical artifacts were given away, the runes were forged with life force, and there was also something inside the Demon Immortal Tower.

Just when Qin Chuan thought everything had failed, a figure appeared before him, patting his head with a kind voice.

"I'll lead you down this path."

Qin Chuan saw all of these scenes in the light, until they transformed into the final farewell…

He Anhai always understood that he was not He Jiusheng.

In the end, that one "thank you" said it all.

And that phrase, "You are also my son," gave Qin Chuan his approval...

All of this seemed like a dream, but Qin Chuan didn't want it to be a dream!

"He... has passed away."

Qin Chuan muttered to himself.

When the light before your eyes turns black and replaces the entire world.

He coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed.

Qin Chuan was unconscious for two days. When he woke up, he saw Li Yun Chu's worried gaze.

Qin Chuan didn't want to talk, so Li Yun Chu accompanied him to He An Hai's funeral.

He Anhai's tomb is in a valley outside the seventh peak. There is no corpse in the tomb, only an extinguished oil lamp.

He was no longer an ordinary disciple, nor a personal disciple, but had become the master of the fourth peak.

A... not the supreme being.

Qin Chuan stopped refining pills and comprehending Taoist principles, and instead sat outside his cave.

Looking at the darkness of night, looking at the dawn of day.

He didn't know what he was looking at; he just wanted to space out.

Several days later, in this illusory ancient world, a day had already overlapped many times.

Qin Chuan understood that this place... was about to disappear.

"Life and death, a separation, is also a beginning."

Qin Chuan had a sudden realization, closed his eyes, and after a long while, when he opened them again, he chose to walk towards the Heavenly Ladder.

Before leaving, Qin Chuan accidentally saw the pill that had appeared out of nowhere.

But instead of being surprised, he stared at it blankly for a long time before carefully storing it into the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace space.

This time, there were no obstacles.

Standing before the Heavenly Ladder, Qin Chuan turned back and glanced at the Fourth Peak once more.

This glance seemed to be a way of firmly imprinting this fourth peak in one's mind.

Then he turned around, stepped onto the ladder that no outsiders could see, and walked up step by step.

As he walked forward, all the cultivators from the Tianyuan Continent within the Demon Immortal Sect gazed intently at his figure.

They were all waiting, waiting for Qin Chuan to reach the peak, for the second realm to end, and the third realm to begin.

Qin Chuan walked very slowly, getting higher and higher, until he reached the sky.

Until he reached the summit, when the last step stood before him.

He lowered his head and looked down at the seven peaks of the Demon Immortal Sect.

Qin Chuan closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, a resolute look appeared in them.

"Father, I'm leaving..."

He spoke softly, took a step, and stepped onto the last step.

The roar was deafening in that instant.

The entire world began to tremble violently at that instant.

Unfortunately, Qin Chuan could see and feel this vibration.

However, those outside the Tianyuan Continent within the Demon Immortal Sect could not detect anything.

On the earth, those who also felt the tremor of heaven and earth were the cultivators of the Tianyuan Continent.

They were all excited and filled with great anticipation as they went to witness the opening of the third realm!

The Demon Immortal Sect appears every time in the first two realms.

However, this third realm only appeared a few times throughout the entire process.

Each time, it requires immense opportunity and good fortune.

Those who were able to witness the opening of the third realm were filled with excitement.

Compared to them, only Qin Chuan was truly able to witness the dissipation of the second realm and the opening of the third realm.

Because at that moment, he was the only one standing in mid-air, seeing the entire world.

Qin Chuan stepped onto the highest peak of the Heavenly Ladder.

When he looked down, he saw the world, and under the increasingly intense tremors, it overlapped with his own.

This overlap was only momentary, and then it disappeared.

An invisible, imperceptible, illusory wind blew from an unknown source, unable to stir a single hair.

Yet, it stirred up the passage of time in this world.

Qin Chuan witnessed firsthand that the seven peaks of the First Heaven seemed to have existed for ten thousand years in an instant.

The lush green trees on the mountain withered and then bloomed again, until they changed their appearance.

He saw that on the seven mountain peaks, there were carved railings and jade steps rising and falling.

I saw countless lives within it, experiencing birth, aging, sickness, and death.

A moment can feel like an eternity.

Until he saw the whole world, suddenly it was pitch black, and a huge hand appeared, seemingly covering the entire world.

Within that palm, he vaguely saw an old man in a golden robe, who simply flicked his sleeve.

The heavens and earth changed, the sky and earth glowed red, and the starry sky turned upside down.

The earth shook violently, and in the darkness, Qin Chuan couldn't see much.

But we can see that these two holy lands have collapsed and the three demon mountains have been torn apart.

Cracks appeared on the seven peaks of the first level of the Demon Immortal Sect.

Although the mountain is still there, much of it has been lost.

One after another, buildings collapsed, and one disciple after another died.

Qin Chuan witnessed a great battle that shook the entire world.

Only this battlefield was shrouded in darkness, so Qin Chuan couldn't see it clearly and could only sense it vaguely.

Until everything disappeared, I don't know how much time had passed.

On the fourth peak, inside the coffin, Qin Chuan saw a figure dressed in white with long hair emerge.

He stood on the fourth peak, silently guarding this land, as if for eternity.
