542: Chapter 542 The Finale + Author's Closing Remarks

The battle had fallen into a stalemate.

But Mu Mian frost knew that if Senior Spirit Elixir Master and her grandfather couldn't quickly deal with this ancestor, defeat was inevitable.

A single general's success is built upon ten thousand rotting bones.

Having come this far, she no longer had a path of retreat.

The Third Prince stood firmly upon the city wall.

Mu Mian frost looked at the soldiers behind her, her nose feeling a bit sour. She waved her hand, preparing to withdraw the troops.

The man in the cloak beside her said in a deep voice, 'Wait, I feel it. He's back.'

'He...'

Mu Mian frost was greatly shocked.

A brilliant light erupted in her eyes.

He was still alive!

Even though she knew that in these ten years, it was impossible for the other party to grow to the point of being able to rival an Earth Immortal, she just felt that Jiang Ning had the ability to let her turn the tide.

The sound of something breaking through the air came from the distance.

The Earth Immortal battlefield stopped their hands and looked toward the north one after another.

Shen Jinhuan held the hand of the mindless Jiang Ning as they stood in mid-air.

Seeing the current situation, she frowned deeply.

The Earth Immortal Old Ancestor felt some hesitation in his heart. 'This man and woman are actually both at the Mahayana Realm, and that man has already reached Mahayana Realm Perfection, only a step away from Undergoing Tribulation!'

He pondered silently in his heart.

Shen Jinhuan looked at Mu Mian frost. 'Princess, this is...'

Mu Mian frost's eyes lit up. 'A war!'

Shen Jinhuan nodded.

'Revered Master, there's going to be a war.'

A smile appeared on Jiang Ning's lips, and he let out a gloomy voice.

The Earth Immortal Old Ancestor cupped his fists. 'You two, this is an internal struggle of my Great Qian. If you leave, Great Qian will owe you a favor.'

Shen Jinhuan and Jiang Ning responded to him with their actions.

Four Mahayana experts fighting one Earth Immortal was still difficult.

The Earth Immortal Old Ancestor was suffering beyond words.

This battle would consume too much of his Lifespan.

Suddenly, his shoulder was grabbed by Jiang Ning and torn apart instantly. The Earth Immortal was furious. 'Brat! You want to fight to the death, don't you!'

He no longer had any reservations.

If he held back any longer, he would lose!

The Earth Immortal going all out made Mu Mian frost feel despair.

After several exchanges of blows...

More wounds appeared on Shen Jinhuan's body.

Seeing Shen Jinhuan injured, Jiang Ning was about to rush forward again but was held back by Shen Jinhuan.

The Earth Immortal laughed. 'An Immortal is an Immortal after all, even an Earth Immortal is an Immortal!'

'Does an Earth Immortal even count as an Immortal?'

On the ground, the man in the cloak took off his hood, revealing a face identical to Jiang Ning's.

'Huanhuan, do you remember how I came to be?'

'Jiang Erning!' Shen Jinhuan was overjoyed. She looked at the Jiang Ning beside her. 'Revered Master, go.'

Jiang Ning and Jiang Erning stopped in mid-air, facing each other.

Jiang Erning waved his hand and laughed. 'I didn't expect that after not seeing you for so many years, you've made yourself look like this. It seems I, your Clone, still have to turn the tide.'

'Jiang Daning, let's undergo Fusion.'

He reached out his hand.

Jiang Ning reached out hesitatingly and shook hands with Jiang Erning.

Instantly, dark clouds gathered, and the Lightning Tribulation began to condense.

The Earth Immortal Old Ancestor chuckled. 'So you practiced the secret technique of the Peerless Daoist. But merging the Dao at this moment will bring the Lightning Tribulation. The tribulation alone will leave you with no time for anything else, so how can you possibly fight me?'

As he spoke, Jiang Ning and Jiang Erning underwent Fusion into one.

Inside the crimson Sea of Consciousness.

A single clear drop of water fell.

And then, it was like spring returning to the earth.

His consciousness was recovering.

Jiang Ning's red eyes regained their clarity, and he smiled. 'Then I'll just fight you while carrying the Lightning Tribulation!'

BOOM—

A bolt of Lightning Tribulation suddenly descended.

Jiang Ning gently patted Shen Jinhuan's head. 'You've worked hard these past ten years, Huanhuan. Revered Master will go handle some things first and come back for you later.'

He sent Shen Jinhuan back to the ground.

He reached out and grabbed the lightning.

This action enraged the Lightning Tribulation, and an even more terrifying tribulation began brewing!

The Earth Immortal hadn't reacted yet when he suddenly found Jiang Ning appearing before him, much to his shock.

When he wanted to retreat, he found that Jiang Ning had actually locked down the space.

Jiang Ning smiled. 'An Earth Immortal can be an Immortal? Just a failure whose life has reached its end.'

The Lightning Tribulation in his hand pierced directly into the Earth Immortal's crown.

A roar of pain echoed.

In his terror, the Earth Immortal tried to flee.

The Third Prince could no longer sit still.

When the eighty-first Heavenly Tribulation descended, Jiang Ning dragged the Earth Immortal and forcibly endured the Heavenly Tribulation.

The Earth Immortal turned into powder within the Heavenly Tribulation.

The thick dark clouds dissipated, a cool breeze blew, and auspicious clouds appeared in the sky.

The Heavenly Gate opened wide.

Mu Mian frost's grandfather and Spirit Elixir Master stood together.

Spirit Elixir Master said with a smile, 'As expected of a Disciple of my Spirit Pill Hall. Eighty-one bolts of Heavenly Tribulation—what peerless talent! In the future, if no accidents occur, there will be another overlord in the heavens.'

Jiang Ning glanced at the wide-open Heavenly Gate, brought his arms together, and the Heavenly Gate dissipated.

He didn't want to leave yet.

The Heavenly Dao lowered a punishment, suppressing Jiang Ning's Realm as if he were carrying a mountain on his back.

Jiang Ning didn't care.

...

Half a year later.

The Emperor of Da Qian's life came to an end, and he died in his place of secluded cultivation.

Mu Mian frost ascended the throne, becoming the second Empress of Great Qian.

She opened many academies and taught without discrimination, sharing resources so that everyone in Great Qian could cultivate and everyone could become a Dragon.

The status of Kunyu Academy rose even further.

The Student Union, however, remained hidden among the common people, with only a few core members becoming the pillars of the Great Qian Dynasty.

But the Student Union's footsteps would not stop; they headed toward even further outer regions.

A place of beautiful scenery.

The originally clear sky was covered with dark clouds.

Jiang Ning looked at Shen Jinhuan. 'Are you ready?'

'Mm-hmm!'

Shen Jinhuan nodded and headed up toward the Lightning Tribulation.

People in the Imperial City looked at the Heavenly Gate opening in the distance.

Yun Qingqing noticed something, the now high-and-mighty Qing Dai noticed something, and Mu Mian frost in the palace noticed something...

They hurriedly set off for the vicinity of the Heavenly Gate.

By the time they arrived, there was no longer any sign of Jiang Ning or Shen Jinhuan in this world.

Yun Qingqing rubbed her eyes. 'That guy, he left without even saying a word. He's always so sudden.'

Qing Dai said in a deep voice, 'The Revered Master and Madam rely on each other. No one can intervene in their world. This is also quite good, as it saves the pain of parting.'

Mu Mian frost sighed. 'It will be hard to see someone like Fellow Daoist Jiang again in the future. But it's alright; after we achieve Ascension, perhaps we can meet again in the Immortal Realm.'

...

Dense Immortal Qi permeated his body.

Jiang Ning realized that an Earth Immortal really couldn't be called an Immortal. Essentially, Spiritual Qi still flowed through an Earth Immortal's body, while an Immortal possessed Immortal Qi.

He held Shen Jinhuan's hand as they wandered around the Immortal Realm.

In this Immortal Realm, not everyone was an Immortal. There were also descendants of Immortals who went through Foundation Establishment... Mahayana... step by step, only much faster.

Shen Jinhuan asked with a smile, 'Where are we going next?'

'Let's just look around first.'

Jiang Ning smiled.

...

One year later.

The Demon Race Elder found Jiang Ning and Shen Jinhuan.

He was all smiles.

Jiang Ning was puzzled. 'It seems the Demon Race's crisis has been resolved?'

'It's resolved!' the Grand Elder said with a smile. 'The Gu Family knew Gu Yanqing was in our hands and used various means and resources to exchange for him.'

'Later, Gu Yanqing was married to the Young Miss of the Murong Family.'

'Everything was fine at first, but a few months later, for some reason, the Young Miss of the Murong Family actually killed Gu Yanqing.'

'She even cursed Gu Yanqing, calling him some kind of Dung Beetle.'

'In a fit of rage, the Head of the Gu Family wiped out the Young Miss of the Murong Family.'

'The Murong Family and the Gu Family fought bitterly and became mortal enemies. They are still fighting now.'

'Now no one has time for our Demon Race, so the crisis of the Demon Realm has been resolved.'

'Now that the Gentleman and the Leader are back, by the time they finish fighting, they probably won't think about gathering people to attack the Demon Race again. For the next few hundred years, the Demon Race will be at peace.'

Jiang Ning blinked, an incredible thought crossing his mind.

The Young Miss of the Murong Family couldn't be the Reincarnation of Yun Qingyao, could she? It shouldn't be; didn't her Divine Soul get completely destroyed...

He didn't think too much about it; anyway, both of them were dead.

He and Shen Jinhuan hadn't expected the Demon Race's crisis to be resolved in such a bizarre way.

...

Ten years later, Jiang Ning reached Major Achievement in Space Law and began to pursue Time Law.

Thirty years later, he reached Major Achievement in Time Law.

Fifty years later, relying on the System, Jiang Ning ascended to become a Realm Lord. With one sword strike, he split open a world and created the Time Divine Realm.

Standing within the long river of time and space.

Jiang Ning stepped into the Void Realm and entered that rainy night.

He had saved a sliver of Ye Xi's Divine Soul. With a single hand seal, he pulled Ye Xi back.

Ye Xi opened her eyes and looked at the man before her, who was like a deity.

'Sixth... Sixth Elder?'

'It's me.'

Jiang Ning reached out and pulled Ye Xi into the river of time, returning to the present world.

Vaguely, he turned his head and saw his former self taking the little girl to pay respects at that empty grave.

Not interfering with the timeline, nor participating in Karma.

Returning to the Time Divine Realm, Jiang Ning took Ye Xi as his Disciple.

That night.

Shen Jinhuan lay on Jiang Ning's body and said jealously, 'Revered Master, do you have feelings for Sister Ye Xi?'

Jiang Ning sighed.

'How is that possible? It's just a pity. Besides, you're already a mother now, why are you still acting like a child? If the children see you, they'll surely laugh at you.'

'They wouldn't dare!'

Shen Jinhuan raised her fist. The demoness who made the outside world tremble with fear was like a child in front of Jiang Ning. 'With Revered Master, I can always be Shen Jinhuan.'

...

Shen Jinhuan didn't know what Jiang Ning had been busy with lately.

Until one day, Jiang Ning mysteriously took her hand. 'Huanhuan, I'll take you to a good place. But in that place, you can't use Immortal Qi or anything like that. Will you go?'

'Is it the place you've been looking for in the long river of time and space lately?'

Shen Jinhuan was puzzled.

'That's right,' Jiang Ning said mysteriously. 'My hometown.'

Shen Jinhuan suddenly became interested.

...

Inside a suite.

Shen Jinhuan, wearing a wine-red V-neck satin dress, held a cup of milk tea. She took a sip and narrowed her eyes.

She glanced at the label.

Cheese Peach...

She said to Jiang Ning, who was lying on the big bed playing with his phone, 'No wonder Revered Master's ideas were always so strange. This place is really great, much more interesting than the Cultivation World.'

'If you ask me, let's just stay here.'

'I attended a wedding a few days ago, and it felt so romantic. When are you going to hold one for me!'

Jiang Ning said dotingly, 'I'll hold it, I'll hold it... whatever you want... but if we stay on Earth all the time, what about the children?'

Shen Jinhuan smiled.

'Isn't that just perfect? Anyway, no one in the Cultivation World dares to provoke them. We can just enjoy our time as a couple.'

Jiang Ning smiled understandingly.

Good idea.

Shen Jinhuan suddenly laughed and said, 'Or maybe... we can have another child here.'

Jiang Ning hurriedly tried to flee.

'It's so late, I'm really tired. I have a meeting early tomorrow morning... don't be like this, what if I can't get up tomorrow morning... another day, okay, how about another day...'

...

The End.

A simple and hasty ending.

When I first started writing this book, I wanted to say, who says I can't write Xuanhuan? I'm going to blow everyone away.

As it turns out, hehe, I didn't expect I'd end up making such a big mess of it!

I really can't write Xuanhuan; it's too difficult for me.

Struggling to support it until now, I really can't write anymore, so I had to wrap it up.

I'm sorry, I'm guilty...

I won't touch Xuanhuan anymore in the future; I'll honestly go back to writing urban stories.

While writing this book, I also wrote a new one. Hehe, and I made two more big messes...

I'm sorry, I'm guilty... no... I've got no balls...

Thanks to the readers who have been tortured all the way here, thank you so much!

Bow, thank you.
