210: I will fulfill your wish.

The sky of the Azure Cloud Continent has changed.

First, a seven-colored aurora dyed the heavens without warning.

Following that was the celestial music and Daoist resonance that echoed through the soul, as if thousands of gods and Buddhas were whispering in the clouds.

A vast pressure, indescribable in words, slowly descended from the Nine Heavens.

Before this pressure, the Laws of the continent wailed, trembled, and submitted.

It was as if they were welcoming their sovereign.

"That... what is that!"

Countless Cultivators rushed out of their Immortal Caves, looking at the sky in horror.

They saw the clouds being pulled apart to both sides by an invisible giant hand, like a scroll being unfurled.

A divine mountain, whose majesty and magnificence were beyond words, slowly descended from a rift in the Void Realm.

Upon the mountain, celestial palaces stood in clusters, divine light shone brilliantly, immortal cranes circled, and dragons and phoenixes cried out in unison.

A waterfall spanning heaven and earth hung from the mountain peak; that was not water, but liquefied Innate Spiritual Qi!

"The divine mountain..."

"It's the Myriad Dao Divine Mountain!"

"The Divine Sect... has returned!"

After a brief moment of deathly silence, the entire continent completely boiled over!

Countless living beings—whether human, demon, or devil, regardless of where they were—uncontrollably knelt down toward the divine mountain.

It was an awe for a higher-dimensional existence, born from biological instinct.

The Imperial Capital of Great Chu.

Lin Tian stood outside the Golden Throne Hall, looking at the familiar yet strange divine mountain with tears in his eyes.

He knew that from this moment on.

This divine mountain would no longer be a legend.

But the eternal and indestructible sky hanging over everyone in this world!

He took a deep breath, suppressing the surge of emotion in his heart.

An Imperial Voice containing the pressure of Mahayana Perfection spread throughout the continent.

"By the decree of the Myriad Dao Divine Sect!"

"The divine mountain has returned; the celestial path is reopened!"

"At noon tomorrow, the Heavenly Ladder will descend upon the Tianqiong Mountain Range!"

"Anyone with fate, regardless of background or cultivation, may climb it!"

"Those who reach the top may join the Divine Sect and enjoy the path to the heavens!"

...Myriad Dao Divine Mountain, the Sect Master's courtyard.

The world-shaking events outside seemed to have nothing to do with this place.

Chu Xuanjin, having finished the major task of "moving house," lay back down on his rocking chair.

He felt that sunbathing from this angle was the most comfortable.

The sound of light footsteps approached.

A figure wearing a small green dress peeked in and walked over.

It was Linglong.

Behind her were several Inner Sect Disciples who had just returned from training in the Lower Realm.

Seeing Chu Xuanjin, those Disciples hurriedly bowed in greeting.

"Greetings, Sect Master!"

"Mm."

Chu Xuanjin responded lazily.

"You few, go to the Hall of Inheriting Skills to claim your rewards."

"Tell Mo Yuan that I sent you, and reward each person with ten thousand Contribution Points."

Hearing this, the Disciples were instantly overjoyed.

"Thank you, Sect Master!"

They withdrew excitedly, leaving only Chu Xuanjin and Linglong in the courtyard.

Linglong held a furry Treasure-Seeking Rat, her small hands clutching the hem of her dress, feeling a bit uneasy.

She had been having a lot of fun in the Lower Realm.

But when the divine mountain suddenly returned, she was also directly teleported back by an irresistible force.

"Come here."

Chu Xuanjin beckoned to her.

Linglong hesitated for a moment but still took small steps to the rocking chair.

"Did you have fun down there?" Chu Xuanjin's voice was very gentle.

Linglong nodded.

"I did."

She said softly.

"The candied haws in the mortal world were delicious, and the stories told by the storytellers were very interesting."

"It's just..."

Her small brow furrowed slightly.

"Just what?"

"Just that the sky is still unhappy."

Linglong looked up, her clear eyes reflecting the flawless sky of the divine mountain.

"It's still in pain."

Chu Xuanjin's movements paused.

He remembered the conversation he had with this little one two years ago before his Ascension.

She said the sky of this world was in pain because its Spiritual Qi was being stolen.

He had also promised to make this sky happy again.

"I remember."

Chu Xuanjin reached out and gently patted her small head.

"I've never forgotten what I promised you."

"Really?" Linglong's eyes brightened a little.

"Of course."

Chu Xuanjin smiled, pointing at the mist-shrouded Lower Realm continent below the mountain.

"Look."

"I've moved our home back."

"From today on, this will be our base."

Linglong followed his finger, seemingly understanding but not quite.

Chu Xuanjin continued to explain in a way she could understand.

"There are many bad people outside who are secretly sucking the nutrients from the flowers and plants in our yard."

"So, I'm going to open the gate of the yard now."

"And let many, many powerful gardeners move in."

"Once they've nurtured the flowers and plants in the yard to be more lush and stronger than before."

He looked at Linglong with a hint of a smile in his eyes.

"At that time, we can rush out together."

"And snatch back those bad guys who stole the nutrients, lock, stock, and barrel."

"By then, the sky won't hurt anymore."

Linglong blinked, as if she understood something.

"Then... will it take a long time?"

"Perhaps."

Chu Xuanjin stood up and took her small hand.

"But while waiting for them to grow up."

"I can first give you a small fireworks display."

As his voice fell.

He gently snapped his fingers toward the Void Realm.

Buzz—

The entire Myriad Dao Divine Mountain trembled slightly.

In the next moment.

Countless points of light, more brilliant than the stars, rose from all over the divine mountain.

Those points of light converged into rivers of light, intertwining and circling in the air.

Finally, above the courtyard, gorgeous flowers condensed from the purest power of the Laws bloomed.

Each flower contained a different Law.

There was the sharpness of the Sword Dao, the coldness of the Ice Dao, and the dominance of the Thunder Dao.

They rotated slowly in the air, illuminating the entire courtyard like a dreamlike divine kingdom.

Linglong's small mouth slowly formed an 'O' shape.

The Treasure-Seeking Rat in her arms was so shocked it fell right out.

She had never seen such a beautiful sight.

"This is..."

"These are seeds."

Chu Xuanjin's voice sounded exceptionally soft amidst the light of the flower sea.

"They are the seeds of hope that will take root and sprout in this land tomorrow."

"And they are also the first promise I've fulfilled for you in advance."

He looked down at the little girl's face, which was filled with surprise and reflected the light.

"Do you like it?"

Linglong nodded vigorously.

She reached out her small hand to carefully touch the nearest flower, which was condensed from the Law of Fire.

That flower had no scorching heat.

Only endless warmth.

"I like it."

She looked up at Chu Xuanjin and revealed a bright, heartfelt smile.

"I like it very much."

Chu Xuanjin also smiled.

He looked up at the sea of Law flowers he had personally created.

Tomorrow.

A storm sweeping through the entire world was about to begin.

And he just wanted to fulfill the wish of a little one before the storm arrived.
